Catholicism in the 19th Century Pope Gregory XVI () was not the man to usher in any sort of progress for the Church of Rome. He was a crudely superstitious, old-fashioned, embittered monk. The concept of progress was introduced in the early 19th-century social theories, especially social evolution as described by Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer. It was present in the Enlightenment's philosophies of history. As a goal, social progress has been advocated by varying realms of political ideologies with different theories on how it is to be achieved.
Modernism in Christian theology. As the more radical implications of the scientific and cultural influences of the Enlightenment began to be felt in the Protestant churches, especially in the 19th century, Liberal Christianity, exemplified especially by numerous theologians in Germany in the 19th century, sought to bring the churches alongside of the broad revolution that modernism .

During the nineteenth century, the entities we refer to as 'science' and 'religion' both underwent dramatic changes. While other resources focus on different aspects of the 19th century, such as the Civil War or immigration, this is the first truly comprehensive treatment to cover all aspects of 19th-century history including: population, politics and government, economy and work, society and culture, religion, social problems and reform, Author: Eric Novotny.
One of the most important developments in American Protestantism in the 19th century was the rise of the American Sunday School movement.
In the 's, the first American Sunday Schools were modeled on British schools founded by Robert Raikes, Hannah More and others, to teach reading and writing to poor children in the cities on their only day free from work, and to reform.

Posted: 6th December 2010
Such is the demand for Russell Brand's future first-lady, her current tour has just been effectively doubled up for a second wave of concerts later next year. Katy Perry's world domination continues with yet more UK concerts planned for the tail-end of next year - considering the first-leg has pretty much sold-out, you might be keen to get in quick for this dirty dozen!
The opening night for the second leg is in Sheffield on 12th October, followed by an O2 Arena gig on the 14th plus more in the usual big cities such as Liverpool, Newcastle and Nottingham, before rounding it all off in Dublin on 7th November. Tickets for this follow-up round of the "Californian Dreams Tour"go on sale from this Friday at 9am, with prices similar to the sold-out leg (upwards of £27.50).
Her 2010 album has also been steaming, sales-wise, around the globe, including Australia where she has stormed the number one spot and increased her tour by another half-dozen gigs or so. You get the feeling this woman hasn't even started yet...

Q: QuillJS - style attribute is placed inside strong tag I am using custom inline attributes in Quill because users need to be able to paste text into another application and retain the rich-text features set in a Quill editor.
Problem: when bold is added to other features such as text-color or font-size, Quill places the style attribute inside the strong element rather than in a span tag.  For example:

If you work with young children in any setting--home, school, or childcare-- you need to know the wonderful benefits of science. Maybe you get the shudders when you think of science, and the thought of trying to teach it to others gives you chills. Do you remember physics or chemistry from high school? Even if you loved science then, you may not understand how to teach preschoolers about it.
I taught preschool for several years through graduate school. One of my favorite graduate classes was science education for young children. I went into that class with outdated ideas about how to teach science. In my defense, though, almost everyone in education had wrong ideas, so I was just teaching the way I'd been taught. What I learned in that class changed my thinking drastically, and science became one of my favorite vehicles for teaching preschoolers.
The text for my class was called Physical Knowledge in Preschool Education (Kamii and DeVries, Prentice Hall, 1978). Granted, most textbooks tend to be boring, but this one was awesome. I learned that preschoolers are natural scientists. They experiment, observe, and with a little help, make predictions. I learned that the best science activities for young children possess four characteristics: 1) The child must be able to produce movement by his own action, 2) the child must be able to vary his action, 3) the reaction of the object must be observable, and 4) the reaction of the object must be immediate.
Let me elaborate on these by comparing a 'traditional' science activity with one that better meets the abilities of young children. In many preschool classrooms you'll see a teacher helping children fill a cup with soil, plant a lima bean seed, put some water in the cup, then set it in a window to wait. This might be a good way to introduce life science to a middle-schooler but not to a young child.
Let's apply my four-part test to it: Is the child producing movement by his own action? No, this activity is not about movement, and in fact, movement ruins the outcome. Is the child able to vary his action? No, the child has to follow a script, and any change is likely destructive. Is the reaction observable? Only marginally yes, because the reaction being studied happens over many days. Is the reaction immediate? Absolutely not.
Compare this to the following 'play' activity: Collect the following items: a kleenex, a round tinker toy, a popsicle stick, straws, an empty orange juice can, an empty coffee can, some marbles, two or three small blocks. Clear some floor space and ask your child "Can you find something that you can blow across the floor?" (I have done this both with and without a straw to blow through. You might wait and see if your child comes up with this idea before giving them a straw.) All four test characteristics come into play.
You'll see your child engage in experimentation, comparison, and classification; all with a liberal dose of fun. Some of the items will move, so children will innately categorize the items as 'blowable or not blowable'. Both science and math result, and often, rich language experiences too.
If you work with your own child at home, or you work in a classroom with kids, it helps to think about science this way. You may not wind up with lima beans, but your child will build a great foundation for asking questions, making predictions, trying out new strategies, and developing a bank of knowledge about how the world works.

Which Indian Drink Is Helping To Deepika Padukone During Her Upcoming Movie Chapaak Shoot
in Showbiz
The summers in the summer are unbearable, that is a fact, and during the summer months in Delhi to shoot in the scorching sun, nobody wants to experience. However, despite all adversities in the capital, Deepika Padukone shoots for her upcoming film Chhapaak with the help of an Indian drink that is quite popular in the Indian states of UP and Bihar.
Deepika Padukone is superior to the heat and takes great care to protect herself from the high temperature. Since shooting in the city for the film, the actress regularly drinks sattu. The Padmaavat actress was provided with a month-long sattu quota for the summer fight in Delhi.
The Sattu Sharbat is popular throughout the country and has its own variations in states such as Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
In Chhapaak, Vikrant plays Massey Deepika's love interest. The film, based on the survivor of acid attacks Laxmi Aggarwal, shows Vikrant as a social activist and Laxmi's partner Alok Dixit.
Vikrant Massey is working with Deepika Padukone for the first time. Speaking about sharing screen space with Deepika Padukone in Chhapaak, Vikrant told a daily newspaper, "Working with an actress of her caliber is not only an opportunity, but a great responsibility, I'm nervous and excited."
Deepika revealed her look as Malti for Chhapaak in March of this year. Her transformation into a survivor of acid attacks for her upcoming movie has caused a sensation from all angles. From fans to Bollywood stars, everyone praised Deepika Padukone for bringing the story of an acid attack survivor to the big screen with Chhapaak.
The film is expected to be completed in May after two months in Mumbai and Delhi. The film will hit the screen on January 10, 2020.

October 'On Repeat'
Byrachylewis October 31, 2018 July 2, 2022
Anyone that has come across me in real life knows one thing for sure: I'm a proud music junky.
I can even state that I'm sure I love music more than the average person. As cheesy as it sounds, I believe music is sort of the soundtrack to my life and I have gone through so many scenes with my life partner, my headphone. It is the one piece of accessory I never leave the house without and I've gotten so attached to the point where I buy the same one every time I need a replacement. Same colour too!
Anyways, since I'm already sharing a lot of my life with you, I thought it would only be natural to let you know what I've been listening to 'On Repeat' throughout the month.
I generally don't have a favourite genre and I tend to listen to whatever I find as long as I can relate on some level, the beat is banging, or the song just has a great feel to it. Songs that make me feel something indescribable are usually my favourite.
I listen to songs in stages; find a song, fall in love with it, learn every single lyric, sing it all around the house at all times, find it super-duper predictable and then super-duper annoying, fall in love with a new song that will go through that same crazy cycle, months later shuffle play leads me back to that song I loved and it gets more glory days in my headphone. It's so simple yet so complicated.
So, October huh? These are some of the songs I played and replayed like crazy:
Lennon Stella – Bad
Didn't really know her aside from the tv show I watched for a few seasons, Nashville, but she is certainly on my radar now. This one was definitely on repeat more than most.
Astrid S – Emotion
She's back and I need an album now! There's something about Astrid S that I just love, maybe it's the tone of her voice or it could be the simplicity and ability of her lyrics to place you at a scene in her world, either way, I need an album asap!
Ella Mai – Boo'd up & Trip
Ella is head over heels in love on the smash hit Boo'd up. Even if you aren't boo'd up, the 3 minutes 59 seconds track will have you feeling some type of way for sure about that person you're thinking of right now.
Khalid – Saturday nights & Suncity
"'Cause they'll only know, what you let 'em see"
Sometimes only one person will completely and actually get you and Khalid does an excellent job of depicting that truth in Saturday nights. This song is definitely my favourite off Suncity and its title track is likewise amazing, I can't help but move when it comes up in my music library.
Tori Kelly – Questions
"What happens when the healing never comes?"
I'm glad there's a gospel song like this one out there. Like the title, Tori asked all the tough questions people are too afraid to. She put a melody to all her dilemmas and doubts. It's real, honest and so not sugar coated at all
Michael Bublé – Love you anymore
My Bublé obsession lasted at least two or three seasons a few years ago and while it's no longer weird and over the top, I'll still listen to his voice any time, any day.
Dua Lipa – Kiss and make up ft BLACKPINK
What happens when British pop meets K-pop? You get kiss and make up (I swear I wasn't trying to rhyme).
I fell in love with Dua Lipa last year at a point where I felt like I was so late to the club and her first album was without question the one I overplayed the most. Also, K-pop has been part of my music library for a while now, way before BTS became super cool 'worldwide'.
This song is a representation of all the barriers music continues to break on a daily basis. I really hope to see more of this.
Halsey – Without me
Halsey is awesome so of course, this song is awesome. What else can I say?
David Guetta – Blame it on love ft Madison Beer
We push and pull constantly, but we'll just blame it on love. It's easier this way!
Sigrid – Sucker punch
You know it's bad for you. Every bone in your body knows it. Your head and heart for once might agree on something and yet you still go back for that sucker punch.
Emily Warren – Quiet your mind
The whole album. Yes, the whole thing.
Lauren Juaregui – Expectations
Less expectations, more happiness?
My favourite former fifth Harmony member proves to have a lot to say on her first solo track. I'm happy to finally hear her find her own voice.
Lauv – There's no way ft Julia Michaels
Is there supposed to actually be a reason why you love a song? I think not! Having said that, this song just gets me feeling great each and every time I hear it.
Tiffany Young – Teach you
Don't mess with her, you'll end up in flames, literally.
Grace Carter – Why her not me
This one honestly had to grow on me, but once it did, I was all in with the feels.
The track sums up the feeling of someone demanding closure and reasons why they weren't chosen.
"Why did you have to build the walls so high, oh no, I'm not done climbing" she sings. Determined, confused and most importantly, desperate.
There are so many more that can be added so I made a Spotify playlist you can directly listen to! What songs would you add to yours? Let me know in the comment section below (I might add it to the playlist).

Interim report 1 January - 30 June 2003
31 July 2003 at 8:30 AM E. Europe Standard Time
Strategic focus on Ship Power systems and service
- Focus on ship power systems and service.
- Power plant business to be re-examined. Focus on areas of strength in markets and products.
- Low order intake in 2002 reduced net sales and result.
- Power Divisions' order intake up 29% in first half of year.
An exceptionally high number of ships were ordered at Asian shipyards in the first six months of the year as total investments in new ships in the first half of the year exceeded the entire figure for 2002. Business continues to be slow in Wärtsilä's traditional home market, Europe. The lower prices offered by Asian engine manufacturers intensified competition.
The power plant market showed no significant recovery during the spring months. Projects under negotiation made progress, although more slowly than expected. Demand does not correspond to supply in this field.
FOCUS ON SHIP POWER SYSTEMS AND SERVICE
Wärtsilä is planning to concentrate its resources more strongly on ship power systems and service. Among other things this will mean starting manufacturing of marine engines and propellers in the growing Chinese market as well as acquisitions aimed at broadening the company's range of products and services in this sector.
The structure and product portfolio of the Power Plants business will be re-examined and focused.
Revision of the corporate strategy is part of the Group's development, the aim of which is significantly improve the company's profit generating ability. The Group's targeted operating margin is 7-8%.
That is why Wärtsilä will begin to prepare a plan for a new structure during the coming autumn. It is foreseen that this will also include measures that will further concentrate the Group's manufacturing capacity.
The consolidated operating profit was EUR 21.1 (148.8) million. Last year's figure includes a capital gain of EUR 111.1 million on the sale of Assa Abloy shares.
The operating profit of the Power Divisions was EUR 22.3 (32.1) million. The reason for the decrease was the lower manufacturing load. Imatra Steel's result of operations, EUR -1.1 million, was burdened by a EUR 4.5 million writedown of fixed assets during the first quarter. Net financial items amounted to EUR -5.5 (-1.5) million. The Group's profit before taxes was EUR 15.6 (147.3) million. Earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.13 (1.58). The order intake of the Power Divisions rose 28.9% to EUR 1,102.3 (855.0) million.
Capital expenditure during the period totalled EUR 24.9 (363.1) million and included the acquisition of the Dutch company Caltax Marine Diesel BV during the first quarter. Depreciation during the reporting period amounted to EUR 56.3 (49.9) million, and included EUR 13.4 (9.5) million in amortization of goodwill on consolidation. Cash reserves at the end of the period totalled EUR 136.5 (212.5) million. Net interest-bearing loan capital increased to EUR 521.5 (373.7) million, mainly because of growth in working capital.
The solvency ratio was 35.0% (35.1) and gearing was 0.67 (0.47).
POWER DIVISIONS
The six-month operating profit margin of the Power Divisions was 2.4% (2.7). The second-quarter operating profit was an improvement on the first-quarter figure. The order intake of the Power Divisions grew. The order book was at the same level as one year earlier and clearly better than the order book at the end of 2002.
Restructuring measures were continued in the Power Divisions in line with market conditions. The closure of the factory in the Netherlands was completed in the first quarter and its production operations were transferred to Italy. The temporary layoffs started at the Turku factory in the autumn were continued. Negotiations were concluded in France on the reduction of approximately 130 employees during this year and 2004.
The Marine Division's order intake between April and June showed a clear increase, being 25.6% higher than at the same time last year. These periods are comparable because Wärtsilä Propulsion was consolidated from the beginning of April 2002. The six-month order intake rose 59.5%. The order book was at a lower level than in the comparable period but at the same level as at the end of 2002.
Demand remained lively for large tankers, containerships and bulk carriers. The offshore, cruise ship and passenger ferry markets were slack.
Wärtsilä gained propulsion system orders for one cruise ship and five passenger ferries; in the market altogether, only one cruise ship and 10 passenger ferries were ordered during the period. Wärtsilä Propulsion continued to develop well and received several significant orders. Orders for Sulzer engines manufactured under licence rose likewise and Wärtsilä's position strengthened further, especially in the containership market. Wärtsilä expects to see its dual-fuel engines achieve a breakthrough in the LNG carrier market this year.
Investment decisions continue to be postponed owing to general uncertainty in the global economy and energy sector, as well as unfavourable exchange rates. Forecasting of market trends is difficult although small projects are making progress. The most lively markets are in Central and Southern America, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia.
Wärtsilä won three times as many new power plant orders during the second quarter as in the same period last year. The six-month order intake rose 41.6% compared to the first six months of last year. The most important orders for oil-fired power plants came from Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. The largest gas power plant orders were placed by customers in Hungary, India and Japan. Wärtsilä sold its first biopower plant in Ireland.
Net sales of the Service Division continued to rise but fell short of the long-term growth target. The increase in the reporting period was 6.8%. Net sales rose more slowly during the second quarter principally because the exchange rate of the US dollar weakened.
The volume of long-term service and operation agreements covers more than 12,000 MW, or over 9%, of Wärtsilä's total active installed engine base (128,000 MW). The volume of long-term service agreements rose 5.9% to 9,867 MW. Operation and maintenance (O&M) agreements cover 2,182 MW, or more than 120 power plants around the world, an increase of 19.6%. The first O&M agreement for a biopower plant was signed in May, marking a significant strategic step for Wärtsilä's service business.
ENGINE MANUFACTURING AND TECHNOLOGY
The thrust of Wärtsilä's product development activities is on environmentally sound combustion and engine technology. The research project started by Wärtsilä and MAN B&W Diesel is making planned progress.
Engine manufacturing volumes were at a low level during the first half of the year. The streamlining measures started in autumn 2002 are being continued.
IMATRA STEEL
Imatra Steel's net sales increased 5.5% between April and June due to growth in its forging business. Demand in the special engineering steels market overall remained unchanged.
Imatra Steel showed an operating profit of EUR 2.2 (2.9) million between April and June. The weaker result arose mainly from the fact that the company was unable to transfer the sharply increased raw material and energy prices to its product prices to a sufficient degree.
Under an agreement signed in June, Styria Group will acquire the assets and operations of the Billnäs Spring Works on 31 July 2003. The impact of this deal on Imatra Steel's profits will be neutral after write-down of fixed assets. Imatra Steel will henceforth concentrate on manufacturing and marketing long special engineering steels and forged components for the heavy truck industry.
HOLDING IN ASSA ABLOY
Wärtsilä holds 27.8 million shares in Assa Abloy, or 7.6% of the total. The market value of this holding at the close of the period was EUR 233.1 million and its book value in the consolidated balance sheet was EUR 67.4 million.
Wärtsilä's Annual General Meeting, held on 12 March 2003, decided to pay a normal dividend of EUR 0.25 per share and an extra dividend of EUR 1.50 per share. The terms of the convertible subordinated debentures and the bond with warrants were changed corresponding to the amount of the extra dividend. The meeting confirmed the number of members of the Board of Directors to be six. Göran J. Ehrnrooth, Risto Hautamäki, Jaakko Iloniemi, Antti Lagerroos, Bertel Langenskiöld and Paavo Pitkänen were elected to the Board. Authorized Public Accountant KPMG Wideri Oy Ab were appointed to be the company's auditors. The Meeting also renewed the Board's authorizations to purchase and dispose of the company's own shares.
The Board elected Antti Lagerroos as its Chairman and Göran J. Ehrnrooth as the Deputy Chairman. The Board also appointed the
members of the Audit Committee: Antti Lagerroos, Göran J. Ehrnrooth and Paavo Pitkänen.
MARKET CONDITIONS AND PROSPECTS IN 2003
Investments in new tankers are at a good level this year and the expected EU regulations on double hulls will be a further spur to investment activity. Demand for bulk carriers is expected to be high and the volume of containership orders should maintain its current momentum. A limiting factor could be the insufficiency of shipyard capacity in Asia. Wärtsilä's traditional marine engine market in Europe will remain slack, which further emphasizes the need for restructuring.
Uncertainty will continue in the power plant market. A few largish orders can be expected this year. Wärtsilä estimates that its total power plant order intake for the year will be higher than in 2002. The postponement of decisions in this sector is likely to continue, however. The intake of biopower plant orders is forecast to develop favourably.
Acquisitions will focus on broadening and deepening the company's service capabilities as this will offer Wärtsilä good opportunities to increase its share of the market for 2-stroke engine service. Business operations will focus on levering the synergies offered by the Ciserv group and increasing sales of service contracts and service products.
The Power Divisions' order intake grew during the first half of the year. The order book at the end of June was at the same level as one year earlier and clearly better than the order book at the end of 2002. The Power Divisions' net sales and operational profitability in 2003 are expected to be at last year's levels. Streamlining measures will be continued and once the plans and evaluations are completed a restructuring provision will be made that will burden the Power Divisions' result for 2003.
The market outlook in Imatra Steel's business continues to be uncertain in the second half of the year. However, Imatra Steel's net sales are expected to increase and its operational result to improve due to streamlining measures.


So begins the original family narrative (OFN) of the Thomas Lee family of Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Many details are covered in the articles and photos found in the Table of Contents of this site, but it seems to the author that there are several ironies attached to the OFN of our patriarchs, "Tommy" Lee (1816) and his father Thomas, Sr. (c.1780-before 1840). The first is that the OFN proclaims them to be Irish and with that the possibility that they could have been Roman Catholic. Imagine such creatures on the American frontier of those days among German Amish Mennonite Anabaptists! The second is that upon the death of Tommy's elder father, and coming from a household of at least 9 persons, Tommy was taken in by the Bishop of that community, his debts were covered, he was protected from the teasing of the German-speakers, and he was given a life skill that would make him somewhat famous as an Amish craftsman. This article begins with the young Tommy and speaks to the possible origins of our Lee family, in Eastern Pennsylvania and other states in the New World as well as several countries in the Old World. We'll look at the various religious persuasions of the early Lees and list some of the more famous Lees in American culture.
Our search continues and the internet, especially with the help of genealogy forums like Ancestry.com and GenForum.com, has made the quest easier and a lot more fun. What does the mother of all research sites, Wikipedia, say about the Lee name? Plenty! In fact, too much to include here, so have a look for yourself. But, to summarize, the first American Lee, Colonel Richard Lee, came to the New World in 1639 from Shropshire, England, one of the most rural and sparsely populated counties there. Ironically, two of our most famous Americas, General Robert E. Lee and President Abraham Lincoln, who served on opposite sides in the Civil War, were both descendants of Richard (Johnstone 280). Also, let's not forget others: Thomas Lee (1690-1750), Founder of the Ohio Company and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses; Thomas Sim Lee (1745-1819), Roman Catholic Governor of Maryland; and John Lee (b. 1788), an aid to famous Revolutionary War General Lafayette, to name a few.
Reduced Americanized form of Ó Laoidhigh 'descendant of Laoidheach', a personal name derived from laoidh 'poem', 'song' (originally a byname for a poet).
In summary, our Lee family could have had English, Irish, or German roots, despite what the OFN tells. Despite the tradition that he was Irish, Thomas Lee could have worshipped as a Lutheran, German Reformed, Quaker, or one of several other British Protestants. Our research continues, but what truly matters is that he and his descendants blended with the genetics and cultures of many peoples over the last 230-plus years. Today we still celebrate our Lee heritage and seek to know more throughout the generations to come.

In this paper we address the question of how competencies of senior employees are transferred to junior employees. Competence of an employee is illustrated by focusing on its change in the course of the working life and on barriers and facilitators which affect transferring of this competence. The idea about competence push and pull is presented. Furthermore, the results of an experiment, in which the competence transfer from senior employees to junior employees was studied in two large technology companies, are presented.

The United States has expressed deep concern over the stalled peace process in Nepal where violent clashes between police and Maoist supporters killed at least five people Friday.
U.S. Embassy Charge d'Affaires Randy Berry says Washington is concerned about the Maoists' recent seizures of crops and lands. He described these actions as inconsistent with their stated commitment to the peace process.
Berry met Nepalese Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Friday in Katmandu in the wake of violent clashes in western Nepal. He urged the two sides to expedite the peace process.
The clashes erupted Friday after police tried to remove thousands of illegal squatters in a westerndistrict. At least five people were killed, including a policeman.
Nepal's former Maoist rebels have called for a nationwide general strike Sunday to protest the government action.
Maoist insurgents fought a 10-year war against the government in Nepal. They laid down their arms in 2006 in exchange for a role in the government and an end to Nepal's' constitutional monarchy.
The Mao communists won the majority of seats in the 2008 parliamentary election. But the Maoist-led government fell in May after the president overruled the Maoists' attempt to fire the army chief.
The illegal settlers are people displaced by flooding and landslides, which are common in the impoverished Himalayan nation.


Louis Agbokou is Engineer of Rural Development in Benin, Consultant in agricultural entrepreneurship.
Technology hubs give young innovators and entrepreneurs the unique opportunity to develop their products and services and to make them marketable. The lack of awareness about the opportunities that e-agriculture has to offer, is one of the main obstacles to succeed.
The youth in Benin are increasingly connected to the internet by smartphones. They mainly use mobile apps to gain information and exchange it with family and friends. Mobile apps are also used for agriculture purposes by some. There is a growing, but still weak recognition of the opportunities e-agriculture could provide for young entrepreneurs and innovators. To develop a product or service that is marketable and suits the demands of all the stakeholders that are involved in agriculture needs time, money, and networking skills. To help the youth entrepreneurs and innovators to improve their skills, to connect them in local and international networks, and to make their innovations suitable for end-users, is why technology labs spring up all around in Africa.
In Benin, Etrilabs is such an incubator that welcomes e-agriculture innovators. Benin is a country heavily dependent on agriculture. The agricultural sector contributes to more than 30% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), provides 75% of export earnings, and 70% of total employment. The sector could give young innovators and entrepreneurs in e-agriculture many opportunities to strengthen their business case.
EtriLabs is a project of Educational Technology and Research International (ETRI), an NGO dedicated to the use of ICTs for development. It aims to support technology developers, entrepreneurs, civil society, businesses, and governments to create and stimulate the usage of innovative technological solutions in agriculture.
The lab supports youth through mentoring and advisory. It provides a workspace in which innovators can exchange their ideas with others. EtriLabs also facilitates dialogues between stakeholders in agriculture, which helps the young innovators a lot, because their network is still limited. Strengthened with EtriLabs' support some innovative products and services for agricultural usage have been developed and marketed yet. These include Agri-Help, an enabling platform to determine urgent problems in food production that was developed during the Space Apps Challenge 2016, a competition organised by NASA. Another app that has been launched from EtriLabs is Smart Grange, an automated management system for farmers that allows them to develop parallel activities while managing the farm via the app.
In addition, EtriLabs has partnerships with other technology hubs and incubation programmes. For instance, it is a partner in the AgriHack Talent Programme in West Africa, also known as the Youth Enabled AgriHack Fish Farming (YEFFA). This is a project supported by CTA and managed by Wennovation Hub Nigeria. Within YEFFA many stakeholders, such as fish farmers, wholesalers, retailers, academics, and policy makers participate with the young innovators. In August 2016 a site visit, boot camp, and a hackathon were organised simultaneously in four cities: Cotonou (Benin), Lomé (Togo), Warri (Nigeria), and Lagos (Nigeria). At the EtriLab in Cotonou two protoypes were selected for further development and support: e-MAS and Fisher_Innove. The regional final is scheduled to take place in Lagos.
EtriLabs faces different challenges to support young innovators and entrepreneurs. Inadequate financial resources, lack of direct support from the government in Benin for e-agriculture innovations, the inadequacy of local stakeholders to build an enabling environment that suits particularly the young entrepreneurs, are among others the most important challenges. According to Murielle Anatohon, Programme Assistant at EtriLabs, young innovators that successful went through the mentoring process still face difficulties to find further financial support dedicated to technological innovation in agriculture, inadequate promotion and subsidies for young agronomists, and low awareness of the opportunities of e-agriculture entrepreneurship within Benin.
To boost technological innovation in agriculture in Benin and in the sub-region, EtriLabs suggests to clearly define successful cases to increase awareness on opportunities. It also would like to involve more agricultural youth organisations in the debates to define agricultural policy recommendations that include references to e-agriculture. Furthermore, hackathons and e-agriculture competitions should give investors, policy-makers, and the youth the chance to understand the business opportunities in agriculture through innovations.
Interview with Michael Oluwagbemi, co-founder and executive partner at LoftyInc Allied Partners and operator of the Wennovation Hub based in Lagos, Nigeria.
An advanced ecosystem allows entrepreneurs to fail and learn from their mistakes.
A start-up has to deal with the many mixed feedback messages that it receives from end-users and clients.


usually how many people are directly involved in making a CLASS-A movie?
how much people do you think are involved directly in making these films?
prolly a lot more than are really necessary. it depends from one movie to the next-- some producers/directors go overboard with hiring way more people than they really need, and some of them use their budget more wisely. i'm sure the equipment (what kind of cameras are used? handheld cameras or massive pieces of machinery?), special effects (mechanical, makeup, or computerized? are the sets even real, or are they computer-generated/bluescreen effects?), the number of extras required (even extras can be computer-generated nowadays, for instance consider how many of the robots and aliens in "attack of the clones" were computer-generated), etc have a huge effect on the number of employees.
there really is no standard number of people. there are plenty of movies that i would say are first class, that only feature twenty actors or less, with no extras. but the number of people on the set can be a detriment-- it's not hard to find stories about movies exceeding their budget and going down in flames because they hire too many people (hiring 3 or 4 people to do a job that one person could do), waste too much film, and miss their deadlines (whether or not you accomplish anything on a given day, the employees still have to be paid). during the production of Gangs Of New York, rumors were flying about how the production had spun out of control because of schedule & budget problems and people claimed the movie was going to either be cancelled or released as an incomprehensible mess... but thankfully that turned out to be untrue.
even the marketing/advertising end can vary wildly. some movies are successful on the basis of massive amounts of hype generated by the publicity department, and some receive very little publicity at all and end up making lots of money based on word-of-mouth support from fans.

Burlington's own singer/songwriter Joe Adler graced the Radiator airwaves with his fantastic guitar and singing skills. His folksy, lyric-driven tunes make Joe a staple in the Burlington musical scene. I got a chance to talk with Joe as he warmed up. After serenading the Big Heavy Crew with "The Curvature of Your Body," a tune Joe described as "a weird newer song that sort-of crawled out my soul," I was sold.
Outside of Parima and its enchanted woodwork, Joe is a busy man with several upcoming gigs. First, catch him at The Half Lounge for their Americana Songwriters Night on February 15th. Joe will also be opening for Bobby Long at Higher Ground on February 24th. Hit up http://www.highergroundmusic.com for tickets, on sale now.
In closing, Joe echoed the feeling of so many 802 music lovers: "Were so blessed to live in Burlington, where any night of the week you can see great blues, indie, anything, for free or only five bucks." Cheers to that, Joe!


Do you have a favorite folder, mutli-tool or utility knife, that needs to be protected, yet easy to reach? Then a tough leather belt pouch is just what you need. Custom formed and fitted, it will keep your knife handy and out of the bottom of your pocket or tool box.

A very good friend who is an associate at a local large retail store had been carrying her box cutter and Sharpie marker pen in a black nylon belt pouch for a number of years. Now the pouch was worn out and needed replacement. We fixed her up with a sleek tan water buffalo hide belt pouch that should last her a lifetime.
Leather pouches: Two fine examples of knife pouches I build to protect and carry your favorite "every day carry" hand tools. The top two pouches are "pocket pouches" for slim- lined pocket knives that need their finishes protected. The bottom two are "belt pouches" with their fold-over top flaps with keeper snaps. These photos show the wooden blocks still inside each pouch that I built to the exact dimensions for each knife. The blocks are used to form-fit each pouch. For customers that require a low profile pouch, we reduce the bulk by omitting the belt loop and use instead belt slots.
Folder Pouch: Built for an old antique folder, this unique belt pouch has a fold over flap cover, with a snap closer. Black, LA alligator hide was used to give it a classic look and feel. With an extra large, water buffalo hide belt loop on the back to add stiffness to the pouch.

WE HAVE so twisted and contorted children in modern Western society it�s no wonder nobody accepts that the can do anything better than adults. But children outside of the developed world, those in poorer less-talked-about countries are fortunately less twisted and more natural. And they have astounding ability to choose right and to make decisions better than adults. That�s right, the kids in the poorer countries are gold mines of human resources. They aren�t subject to rigid thought patterns that stifle development. It�s these rigid mental superstitions and horrible customs (like FGM) that ARE THE REASON these countries don�t develop. In rigid Islamic societies half the population, the women, are sabotaged, paralyzed mentally, from being creative. In these societies the children are better fit for creative innovation than the adults, simply because they haven�t been subject to so many years of crippling brain-conditioning.
So when we speak of letting children, particularly the gentler girls, make social decisions, it may sound ludicrous to Americans who�s schools and society have conditioned girls to think that they are more or less invalid until they �grow up�, and incapable of wise decisions (likewise, until they �grow up�) because their society has never let them decide on anything as children. The truth is, children make better decisions than adults, and we�ve proven it over and over in societies where kids are less programmed.
The natural child is, before they reach reproduction age, society�s main source of imagination and happiness. They bring a positive optimism to society. Their playfulness lessens feuding and bitterness; their joyful spontaneity mitigates adults who take themselves too seriously. They are less fanatic religiously, and their affection is more unconditional, healing all ill. Their decisions have been far wiser than those made by most adults.
I have seen child leaders in all the less developed countries; children who are recognized and accepted as leaders by the adults around them. I�ve seen 12 year old boys driving bulldozers,(Bolivia), 10 year-old girls handling the distribution of humanitarian aid, (Nepal), running the border crossing (Afghanistan, much more efficiently than all previous adults)�.. Leading reforestation efforts (India)�. the list goes on and on. Kids are less corruptible than grown men, less greedy, more idealistic, more loving, more generous, and much quicker to learn from their mistakes and improve. They enjoy being significant in their society and feel a strong sense of purpose. On the contrary, in countries with very high rates of child suicide, like USA and Britain, children are by comparison quarrelsome, often selfish, opposed to their parents, rebellious and bitter. This is the natural result of their twisted social environment. Don�t blame them. It�s the fault of the authorities they are programmed to obey. (who like to say they are �raising� kids, when in reality they are mostly stunting them. Kids have amazing ability to "raise" themselves if allowed).

Forcefields will guard Mars ships from solar ion storms
Boffins crack portable particle-squall brolly tech
By Lewis Page 4 Nov 2008 at 00:02
A team of top boffins believe that they have cracked one of the main problems of interplanetary travel - that of surviving deadly solar radiation storms. The physicists say they have come up with an idea for a crafty forcefield which could stand off the protoplasm-punishing particle squalls of deep space.
There's plenty of weather on the sun.
Thus far, only a very few people have ever travelled beyond the protection of the Earth's magnetosphere - the Apollo astronauts who went to the Moon in the 1960s and 70s. All other humans in space - including the crews of the present-day International Space Station - have remained within the protective magnetic field of their home planet.
The Apollo missions were reasonably safe because they were brief - only days long. The risk of a major solar radiation storm was minimal. Even so, had there been a serious solar event during an Apollo mission the results might have been disastrous - the more so as there is no lunar atmosphere to protect explorers.
A journey to Mars, however, is projected to take 6 months - and then there's the return trip to consider. Even though the astronauts would be protected by the Martian atmosphere (and the planet itself) during their stay, a year in deep space would be very dangerous. Even normal background radiation could be expected to use up much of an astronaut's lifetime exposure limit.
A solar storm, more or less bound to occur over such a period, would breach the health guidelines and create an unacceptable risk of cancer. A bad particle squall could cause radiation sickness severe enough to incapacitate or even kill a Mars-ship crew on the spot.
But now boffins at the Rutherford Appleton Lab and the Universities of York, Strathclyde and Lisbon have shown that it's possible to generate a "portable magnetosphere" or magnetic forcefield just a few hundred metres across, which would prevent ionised particles reaching a space ship. It had previously been thought that only mighty planetary-scale fields could possibly be effective, but new computer simulations suggest that just a small "hole" in the solar winds could be enough.
"These initial experiments have shown promise," said Dr Ruth Bamford of the Rutherford Appleton lab, rather cautiously.
"It may be possible to shield astronauts from deadly space weather."
Astronauts in a ship moving through space would find a nifty lightweight forcefield especially useful. Ordinary radiation shielding is extremely heavy, but everything in a spaceship must be as light as possible, every kilo of mass being precious. On the other hand the power required to generate a "magnetic bubble" could be an issue.
The new research would seem to have implications for NASA's plans to build a permanent Moon base, too. While lunar explorers would gain a good deal of protection from the Moon itself, blocking out half the sky, the lack of any atmosphere would see an explorer caught outside his thick-walled underground moon bunker by a solar storm during daylight in serious trouble. Moon rovers and inflatable habitats of the future might find magno-forcefield kit very handy.
Needless to say, reasonably portable forcefields would also be invaluable for the hover tanks, power-armour suits or interplanetary battlecruisers of tomorrow - ideal for resisting deadly particle-cannon blaster beams, krenon rays* etc.
The research is set out in a new paper: The Interactions of a flowing plasma with a dipole magnetic field: measurements and modelling of a diamagnetic cavity relevant to spacecraft protection (R Bamford et al 2008 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 50 124025). It's published online here. ®
*We would vote for the next kind of ray or beam to be called this.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Crohn's Disease, Colitis etc. Alternative Treatment.
You are here: Forum Index » Sharing & Voicing » People's SayInflammatory Bowel Disease: Crohn's Disease, Colitis etc. Alternative Treatment.
Disclaimer: This is my understanding from the research that i have carried out. Please add, subtract, trash as you see fit.
Professor John Hunter is a Consultant Physician at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, visiting Professor of Medicine at the University of Cranfield and a recognised authority on diseases of the gut including Crohn's Disease, Colitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
The normal treatment offered for people with inflammatory bowel disease is medication consisting of anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressant drugs, steroids, and eventually surgery when the drugs stop taking effect. The drugs aim to suppress the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, but do nothing for the illness itself, and of course they come with the additional side effects which bring about a whole host of different illnesses.
Professor John Hunter advocates a treatment completely devoid of drugs, which only consists of drastic dietary changes in the initial stages and in the later stages the dietary changes are somewhat relaxed.
This crucial first stage of dietary treatment appears to be essential for success. Special liquid diets are the best treatment for Crohn's disease (CD) currently known; in our experience 85-100% of patients will enjoy a full remission. This is considerably better than pharmacological treatments such as corticosteroids or Infliximab. Most (95%) people drink the liquid diets but some prefer administration by a fine tube through the nose into the stomach.
The current medical theory is that there is an imbalance in the gut of the patient which prompts the immune system to become activated in that area and thus causing an inflammation as it gets to work to correct that imbalance. The imbalance is created by bad gut bacteria reacting with a fungi in the gut. The immune system tries to address this by attacking the location of the imbalance which is the gut.
From my understanding, someone who is prone to inflammatory bowel disease will be prone to it all their lives due to the way their body is balanced. For this reason they will need to completely avoid processed foods and drinks, certain trigger foods specific to them that bring about the illness, and also limit other foods such as animal proteins and fat, certain fibres, food containing gluten, sugars... Other factors that need to be addressed are lack of vitamin D, additives in drinking water (flouride, chlorine, chloramine), lack of exercise, and stress. So basically eat and live according to the sunnah.
So basically eat and live according to the sunnah.
The purpose of this thread is to help others who have an interest in this. It took me many days and nights of research to find this information. I hope others can be helped by this, inshallah.
up until relatively recently, the consensus amongst the medical community regarding crohn's disease was that the patient had a malfunctioning immune system which caused his own immune system to attack and inflame the intestines. this lead to symptoms such as diarrhoea, intestinal bleeding, ulcerations and other complications within the intestines, malnourishment due to the intestines not working properly, and even intestinal cancer in the long run.
so up until relatively recently this illness was classed as an autoimmune disease and the way the medical community approached it was by using anti inflammatory drugs to suppress the inflammation, immunosuppressant drugs to suppress the immune system and of course steroids. the consensus within the medical community was that this illness could not be cured. the holistic medical community differed and maintained that cure was possible.
but now it has been discovered that the actual culprit all along was a very elusive bacteria labelled as the MAP bacteria. all the while the immune system was trying to attack the bacteria, but the medical community was trying to suppress this attack by weakening the immune system instead of strengthening it and helping it. this has been making matters worse and in my opinion is the reason behind the further complications and cancer. the new trend now is that this disease will soon be curable.
the MAP bacteria is mainly found in beef and cows milk. through this medium it is thought that our water supply is also contaminated. shop bought milk is pasteurised which means it is only heated up to 75 degrees. MAP bacteria needs at least 85 degrees to be killed. all dairy products which have been made using pasteurised milk can be contaminated. beef needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill the bacteria. water needs to be boiled to kill the bacteria. the bacteria can contaminate anyone, but it seems only certain people are prone to contracting the illness.
currently some countries are reclassifying ibd as an infectious disease and no longer as an autoimmune disease. some hospitals including some NHS hospitals in the UK are treating this disease with antibiotics. an Israeli company is developing an antibiotic specially for this illness. a uk professor has developed a vaccine that will protect people from contracting an illness through MAP bacteria AND the vaccine will also cure people who have already contracted crohn's disease through the bacteria. for some reason the vaccine will not cure colitis, but it will still help with the symptoms.
How does technology (cell phones, internet, computers, etc.) affect our Deen?

Bhima Koregaon undertrials write to Governor, seek release
'If we want democracy to function as per Constitution political prisoners must be released'
All nine activists arrested and booked for cases related to the Bhima Koregaon violence have written to Maharashtra's Governor Ch. Vidyasagar Rao appealing, "if we really want democracy to function as per the Indian Constitution then all political prisoners should be released."
The letter dated June 17 written by advocates Surendra Gadling, Sudha Bharadwaj; writer Sudhir Dhawale; Professor Shoma Sen; activists Rona Wilson, Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves, Mahesh Raut; and, poet Varavara Rao, a copy of which has been accessed by The Hindu, states, "we are all political prisoners and have been inside Yerwada jail since one year. Five of us were arrested on June 6, 2018 for being associated with Elgar Parishad and behind the violence that took place on January 1, 2019. The rest of us were arrested on August 28, 2018."
The letter, in Hindi, says, "we have been booked with false charges of being anti-nationals, spreading enmity between communities and criminal conspiracy and other offences. They say, this is because, "agar desh ka matlab log hain, toh ek desh ke logon ne, logon dwara chuni sarkaar ke khilaaf bolna aur anya logon ko bhi waisa sochne ke liye utsaya, yeh rajdroh (sedition) ya deshdroh kaise ho sakta hai (If a nation is its people, then if citizens of that nation have spoken and encouraged other citizens of that nation to speak against a government elected by those people, then how does that constitute to be sedition or treason.)"
aThe letter further says, "through Elgar Parishad's speeches, arousing songs and drama, people were not provoked against the government. In fact people were told to raise their voices against injustice, atrocities and exploitation and vote BJP out of power as it is working against the Indian Constitution." The undertrials say, "we made an appeal to the people to, 'save constitution, save democracy and save the country' and these are the reasons why we have been implicated and grave injustice is meted to us.
"Bail and not jail is the principle clearly followed by the Supreme Court, yet our bail applications have been delayed by the prosecution and our bail hearings have turned into mini media-trial. The e-mails that have been allegedly exchanged by us with Maoists have been shared with the media but they have not been shared with us. No electronic evidence against us has been given to us and we have all been denied equal justice and timely justice," the letter points out.
They mention that, "those who have a different political view and a voice of dissent, their voices have been muted and they have been tried for being anti-national. As soon as the new government has come, mob-lynching has begun. They are not being stopped and they continue to spread religious fanaticism. The government is not seen probing against those who support Nathuram Godse openly so sabka vikas (everyone's trust) is a deceit.
"If there is democracy and the Constitution then why don't we have the same law for everyone in the country. Why is someone inside and someone outside. If we really want democracy to function as per the Constitution then all political prisoners should be released," the activists appeal.

Gary Wozniak founded RecoveryPark Farms (RPF) in 2013 to grow specialty produce on vacant Detroit land. Gary was raised in a farming community, and during his early 20s he struggled with drug abuse and ultimately served time in prison. In 1987 he became clean and sober and graduated from Self-Help Addiction Rehabilitation (SHAR) Inc., a recovery center with four locations in metro Detroit. SHAR is now partnering with RPF to help people with barriers to employment return to the workforce by working on the farm. This fall, RPF broke ground on a three-acre plot across from the old Chene-Ferry Market. The farm is expected to grow to 60 acres, including 38 acres purchased from the City of Detroit. Working with several universities and emerging tech companies, RPF will also serve as a test bed for new technologies designed to increase crop growth and yield.
What inspired you to create RecoveryPark Farms?
I wanted to demonstrate to people that you can recover from addiction and you can also recover with your life when you come out of prison and do productive things. I speak very publicly about the fact that 95 percent of people coming out of prison did something they probably regret and they will never repeat themselves. But you need to give them the opportunity to become productive again. And so it's my opportunity to give back to the recovering community and the returning citizen community in a meaningful way.
There's RecoveryPark and RecoveryPark Farms. What's the difference?
RecoveryPark is a nonprofit. RecoveryPark's mission is to create jobs for people with barriers to employment. We do that as a business incubator and a support services organization. The business incubator creates for-profit businesses, where the jobs are. RecoveryPark Farms is our first for-profit business that we've started. Currently it's 100 percent owned by the nonprofit. The goal is over a three-year or five-year time horizon to get ownership into the hands of the employees but still retain maybe a 10 percent ownership on the nonprofit side so we can always maintain that business integrity of the product.
Why did you choose this specific area?
We based this area on a number of things. One is the number of people that still lived here. This footprint used to have 2,500 people living in it, today it has a little over 25. It used to have 851 structures, today there's about 30. So we chose it because it was very sparsely populated. Also, it's the area in the city with the most city-owned land which makes it easier to assemble whole blocks to own. The next reason we choose this area is because there are numerous active bus stops within a ten-minute walk from here, so people have really easy access to get on and off a bus to get to work and back home. There's also freeway access for our trucks coming out of our neighborhood with produce and I-94 and I-75 right here.
You've been growing your produce in Waterford and Detroit's North End, and you broke ground on three acres at the Chene location last fall. What's the latest?
We've got eight high-tunnels that are getting built. Four of them are completed, four are almost completed. We brought in composting from Dairy Doo, which is a company up near Sears, Michigan. They brought down 14 gravel trains of compost for us. We're germinating seeds in the basement. We've got about 600 tomato plants popping up with high-pressure sodium lighting. We've got the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative project we're doing in conjunction with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. It's a stormwater management project. Detroit has a combined sanitary and stormwater sewer, and this is a way for us to keep the stormwater out of the system and for us to potentially harvest the rainwater at some point.
We have two associates on board now. They're learning farming, and they're doing really well. Both of them have had over 20 years in prison, multiple incarcerations. We've been doing ongoing testing of their skill sets and they're like sponges, man. We're going to have three more in place between now and April 1 and another six to eight by the end of the year, and when we're fully built out in four more years, roughly 300.
Talk a bit about some of the technologies you're employing and the partnerships you've developed.
Our high-tunnels are being built by a company called Nifty Hoops in Ann Arbor. We're working with an organization called Light Speed USA, which is an LED lighting company in Grand Rapids developing advanced lighting technology for light augmentation. We're working with Sustainable Water Works on the water side and on the energy side. We're working with NexTek, which is at NextEnergy, on modeling of DC power grids. Our partnerships extend on the financial side too, with our funders. We've had $5.4 million in funding to date. Our latest funding is a million dollar loan that's coming from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. We received a $400,000 program-related investment from the Fisher Foundation. We received a $100,000 investment from Del Bene Produce. And we are teed up for some additional funding.
You also received a $35,000 grant from Michigan's Business Accelerator Fund, with support from TechTown. How have you been able to leverage that funding?
The BAF was specific for lighting, and we were able to leverage the lighting challenge money, which was additional money with NextEnergy, to do a project with Michigan State University. Then, we were able to leverage the BAF money into the Michigan Corporate Relations Network Small Company Innovation Program, which is an $80,000 package, and we were able to leverage that to be a recipient of $25,000 from the JP Morgan Chase Macomb Innovation Fund. And then we've been invited by a couple of the foundations to do letters of intent this year.
Everything helps, right? People don't realize that. Some funders will say, "You don't need our $50,000 because you just got a couple million dollars coming in." But each little piece is earmarked for certain little pieces of the project, and if I don't get that piece then I've got to rob Peter to pay Paul to do something different. So, we don't just go after money because it's there. We're pretty strategic about the money we go after. Not all money is money that you need.
Having a financial plan and sticking to it is just as important as having a business development plan and sticking to it. In the entrepreneurial stage, the business development plan is pretty hectic. Now that we're actually building something, it's narrowing its focus and it's really driven by projects and contracts and get to the end to create the jobs and grow the produce. Money should follow the same path. When you're at the entrepreneurial stage, you take money where you can get it because you're cobbling together five grand here, ten grand there. But when you start to get some maturity to your fundraising, and people are doing half million and million dollar loans to you, you have to be very specific about what you want from the organizations that are going to loan you money. If something is making you have to think about, "Is this really money I should be taking because of A, B and C" then you probably you shouldn't take it.
RecoveryPark Farms is TechTown's latest recipient of a Business Accelerator Fund grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (administered by the Michigan Small Business Development Center). As a state-designated SmartZone, TechTown supports all Detroit/Wayne County businesses applying for BAF funds, which are used for consulting services, such as intellectual property assistance, technology and product testing, engineering for manufacture and sector-specific marketing support. Grants are awarded after thorough vetting of a business' application by a team of SmartZone representatives from across the state. Since the program's inception in 2012, TechTown has helped 25 BAF clients secure nearly $500,000 and create more than 40 jobs. Those firms have gone on to raise over $18 million.

McGrath tips Premier men
Former Waterford boss Derek McGrath
Former Waterford manager Derek McGrath reckons Tipperary will do the business against Kilkenny in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC final.
Liam Sheedy's side will be gunning for their county's first Liam MacCarthy Cup success since their 2016 victory over the Cats and McGrath, who yesterday said that he might be open to a sensational return to the Deise County hot-seat, expects them to deliver at Croker.
"I fancy Tipp to win it," he told the Irish Daily Star. "There's a couple of things. I think motivationally they have a huge advantage.
"He (Sheedy) won't say it afterwards – but the general perception around Tipperary players is that when it's put up to them, they kinda shy away.
"That's something Sheedy will twist in terms of they've been questioned on everything. On speed, on character, and there's a bit of motivational advantage there.
"I think Tipp will come hard with a strong, strong work ethic, almost like we saw against Cork in the first (championship) game. I think John McGrath's sending off in the semi-final could work in their favour in that there's a feeling there that perhaps, 'I nearly let the side down'.
"Even when 'Bubbles' came off in the semi-final, he had a little bit of a shake of the head, I thought. He'll be gearing himself for a strong performance."
