I should like your readers to know more about how local churches support those in need at a time of austerity.
Despite living in a relatively wealthy part of the country there are now more than 10 street sleepers in Mid Sussex and hundreds who find putting food on the table a daily struggle.
We should thank those who work hard to help fellow citizens struggling to find a home, keep it and feed themselves and their families. Today St John's Church in Burgess Hill stands out as a beacon. Through its clergy and parishioners there are people in Burgess Hill whose plight is lessened.
Each Wednesday evening provides cookery classes, in partnership with Sussex Oakleaf, for people in assisted living or sheltered accommodation; and On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday offers low cost lunches.
The intention is to open on other days in 2015.
But it's not a time to stand still and more assistance is planned for various groups early in 2015.Working with local agencies and traders a scheme called "Plate on a Slate" is to be introduced. Homeless people will receive a credit for a small sum to spend on a hot meal and drink over a few days.
And in action that recognises growing national concern about mental health there will be an "Awareness week", in alliance with other churches. This builds on the existing "Stroke Club" held on Monday afternoons. St John's is paving the way.
Its advice on how to run a "Food Bank" is freely available on the church website and that of the Diocese of Chichester, and only recently was called upon for the establishment of a food bank in Hove.
As an individual, rather than a politician, I for one salute the efforts of Father O'Brien and his parishioners at this special time of year.

Christine: Well, um, I found an OPOSSUM HEAD.
Ian: It'd been decapitated by the railroad, by the train.
Ian: We'd have band practices and halfway through we'd stop and end up digging up this thing [and re-burying it]…I liked the sound of it…it just seemed appropriate.
What are the main ideas behind the band?
Ian: One of the biggest ones is just having a 2-person thing. We decided on that a long time ago; just a duo. It's easy to develop stuff and you don't have to be as democratic, basically (laughs).
Christine: Basically, we made it about playing off of each other and filling in the sound as much as we could.
What do you feel sets your band apart from others?
Christine: How'd you put it once, "We make everyone shut up and listen"?
Ian: (Laughs) Yeah, it's definitely not lively music but it has liveliness to it.
Christine: And, we like playing relatively quiet. No earplugs required. Different tones come out, and nuance…it's enjoyable; you can have a conversation if you want.
Ian: A big thing, too, was doing it within the punk and metal scene and having a band that was made up of people who love that kind of music but also like to play pretty music. Specifically to do it in a scene where it's not the norm.
Ian: We'll also be recording a demo when we go up there this weekend…they really want to put it out for us, too.
Christine: Which is really flattering and it's an honor because I love their music so much too. I really felt like they stole the show at the [BLOOD STAINS] fest.
Ian: Also, for out next album we're going to try to tap into all the friends we have here and record collaborations…our future plan is to branch out and tap into other people's talents.
Christine: Just because we love and respect all these musicians we're so fortunate to live in Eugene with; to have this community of musicians with widely varying musical taste.
Ian: Yeah, those are our future plans.
Christine: And, there's always the option that's been floating around since the beginning of doing soundtrack work for a film. I think that'd be a lot of fun.
Have you played any benefit shows? If so, what cause did you support?
Ian: We were supposed to play the benefit show for TRANSIENT but I had just played a set with SAVIORSELF and I was ready to pass out. But, we did do a collaboration with LIGHTNING SWORD OF INDRA towards the end of that night….it was nice, too, we made $200 for TRANSIENT by basically just charging people at the Whiteaker Block Party to use the bathroom in the house.
What band(s) have you most enjoyed playing with and why?
Christine: Yeah, NOISE-A-TRON is always just so badass and thick and full with their music. They're also really sweet people and they have inviting personalities. We played with them in July when I did the EUGENE DUO Fest, which I hope to do again next year for two-piece bands.
Ian: Yeah, there are more two-piece bands popping up every day. People are realizing how easy it is to do it (laughs).

2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring: A DriveWays Preview…
Los Angeles, CA — Sparks are flying at Ford. Hot on the tailgate of the company's all-new electric Mustang Mach-E, the company's Lincoln division brought its compact luxury sparkler: the 2021 Corsair Grand Touring crossover sport utility vehicle.
It was introduced here following the debut of the Mustang Mach-E, both in connection with the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Grand Touring is not as avant garde as its Mustang cousin but qualifies as a somewhat electric, a plug-in hybrid that can run up to 25 miles on purely battery power. Of course, for hybrid running it has a gasoline engine as well.
It was a rapid addition to the lineup of the existing Corsair, itself introduced only seven months ago at the New York Auto Show, and furthers the company's electrification ambitions. Lincoln now has a full lineup of SUVs and crossovers, including hybrid versions of the three-row Aviator.
The new Corsair Grand Touring doesn't turn heads initially. Except for a unique "Spirit Blue" grille, 20-inch wheels and some trim items, it looks like the existing Corsair models, which are the replacement for Lincoln's previous MKC crossover.
Like the other Lincolns, the emphasis is on serenity and sanctuary. In addition to designing a quiet, stress-free driving ambiance, including noise canceling technology and additional insulation, the designers also are focused on what role music can play to enhance the experience.
Though there was no opportunity to drive the Grand Touring at its grand opening here, it doubtless will be similar to that of the other models, only with a smaller impact on the environment. Though no fuel economy numbers were available, a guesstimate here is that the miles per gallon equivalent could work out to 70 MPGe in electric driving and more than 30 miles to the gallon in hybrid mode.
A 14.4-kilowatt lithium-ion battery pack, mounted under the passenger compartment, provides the electric power. Recharging from a level II, 240-volt charger takes three to four hours, Lincoln says. It takes 10-11 hours from a standard 110-volt household outlet.
The gasoline-engine Corsair has selectable driving modes for different conditions that adjust multiple functions, including shift points, and steering and suspension systems. They are labeled Normal, Conserve, Excite, Slippery and Deep Conditions.
The Grand Touring hybrid adds two modes: Preserve EV helps recharge the battery up to 75 percent while continuing to use both the engine and motor to deliver full performance. Pure EV puts the Corsair in full electric mode. When the battery runs down, the gasoline engine automatically switches on for hybrid driving.
All-wheel drive is standard on the Grand Touring, with an electric motor to drive the rear wheels and a second electric motor integrated into the continuously-variable automatic transmission. In hybrid mode, they work seamlessly with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine to make 266 hp.
As with other Corsair models, the Grand Touring comes with Lincoln's "phone as a key" technology, which operates from a smart phone app to lock and unlock doors, open the lift gate and operate interior functions.
Also, Lincoln Co-Pilot 360, a driver assist system that includes pre-collision emergency braking, roadside speed sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane centering, emergency evasive steering assist, reverse braking assist, and active parking assist to park the Corsair automatically in perpendicular or parallel spaces.
Estimated to start at more than $50,000, the Corsair Grand Touring will go on sale in the summer of 2020. It will be built at the company's Louisville (KY) Assembly Plant.

Lewis will stay another day. How about Scott as Santa Saunds does his thing and FA get heavy
Well that was a day of seasonal good news. Brentford were very much in the festive mood as Lewis Macleod was given a contract extension despite his long term injury whilst down the road at West Middlesex Hospital, the squad were very much doing their own 'Santa' thing. Not so seasonal, but of equal interest to Bees fans, was the five match ban handed out to Jonjo Shelvey of Newcastle United for racial abuse. This, given a similar punishment suffered by our own Alan McCormack back in October.
First up though, the positive news. Brentford have shown many times how we look after our own. There is the well documented way that Scott Hogan was treated during his own lengthy recovery period (18 months out) after suffering that awful injury just a few games into his Griffin Park career. First class medical treatment all the way and a contract extension were the order of the day as the club showed huge faith in a player who has since began to pay that back in bucketloads.
Scott's goalscoring record is such that there is genuine worry amongst the Bees faithful we'll be cashing in come January. He went on that stunning run towards the end of last season as he edged his way back to full fitness whilst now, only Dwight Gayle at Newcastle United sits above him in the scoring charts. Imagine those two together. Actually, don't. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Then there was the contract extension offered to Jota as our talismanic midfielder (if Sam Saunders was Spanish….) was allowed to go back to Spain on loan, for personal reasons. Who could forget his letter to supporters at the time where he promised that , "This isn't "goodbye" but more of a "see you later" ? Who could forget our own signal to the player in offering him a contract extension despite the fact he was moving away from Griffin Park – albeit a move that, despite our deepest fears, one still hopes remains a temporary decision.
And now Lewis Macleod has become the latest beneficiary of Matthew Benham's backing of his players as the former Rangers man has been give a year's contract extension which will see him tied to Griffin Park until the summer of 2019. This, despite like Scott at the time of his injury, barely a handful of appearances since joining the club and the youngster now facing a long period on the sidelines.
When the road to recovery must seem long and torturous, with no guarantees at the end of it, one can't begin to imagine what a boost this faith in individuals must be. At a time when all around are getting on with what they do best – playing football – to see how much we value those on the sidelines and are prepared to make such a public statement of belief is a huge, huge thing. We've done it in thee past and no doubt will do it again. Here's hoping for a Hoganesque payback when Lewis is fully fit.
It was interesting, also, how he got into the festive spirit by emulating one time Christmas chart toppers East 17. The boy band, of course, occupying the penthouse suite at the hit parade hotel back in December 1994 with their 'Stay Another Day' single.
Despite being number one at Christmas, rather than an actual Christmas record in the vein of Slade, Wizzard, Coldplay or Shakin' Stevens (whose own effort is not only the best Christmas song of all time but the best pop single. Ever), the band's use of fake snow and furry parka jackets in the promo video now sees them embedded deep into festive culture. (See also: Frankie Goes to Hollywood – The Power of Love. Not a Christmas record yet still now considered one based upon the time of release)
As such, it was great to see Lewis getting involved with his own choice of seasonal attire at yesterday's contract signing. As ever you can read the full story, with the proper photographs, on 'official'.
Next up, Sam Saunders. Can he do anything wrong? No, being the answer as the ever popular midfielder was amongst those who made the trip to West Mid to hand out Christmas presents to children on the Starlight Ward. The pictures and the comments from the players on Social media spoke for themselves and showed, yet again, just how much this club does for our own local community.
One can't begin to think what it is like for these youngsters to be in hospital at any point, let alone during the Christmas season – a period that traditionally sees celebrations at home and time spent with friends and family over the prolonged school holidays. As such, a gesture of this nature is one that can only be very well received. Wonderful work from all at Griffin Park. Yet again.
From the positive to the not so. The story of Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey being given a five game ban for what is described as : "Aggravated Breach as defined in Rule E3(2), as it included reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or nationality" is one that hasn't gone unnoticed amongst our own support.
Of course, we have our own parallel with the five game sentence handed down to Macca back in October after he was found guilty of : Using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official in the 52nd minute of the game against Cardiff City on 19 April 2016, contrary to FA Rule E3(1) . Moreso, given his offence was, "An "aggravated breach" as defined in FA Rule E3(2), as it included a reference to gender."
Back then this column wondered : This is a huge ban and if nothing else Alan would seem to be patient zero when the FA have decided to clamp down hard. Yet, also, they've now drawn a line in the sand which I'll be very keen to see how strongly they enforce ongoing.
And here is your answer. Another breach of rule E3(2) and another five game ban. If players were operating in a new environment about what is deemed acceptable before, there can be no doubt now. Speak in such a manner towards officials or fellow pros – pay a very heavy penalty.
From an on-pitch perspective, it means Shelvey will be missing when Newcastle United come to Griffin Park for the televised game in January 16th. He'll be a huge loss to the Magpies, if his performance on our own trip to the North-East was anything to go by. At one point it looked as though he was going to inspire a Geordie bracketing as the home team set off at 100mph, with the Bees caught cold in the starting blocks, and Shelvey providing 'assists' for fun.
I can't pretend to take any pleasure from a story of this nature on a day of such seasonal goodwill. But, at the same time, it would be hypocritical not to realise what a helping hand it offers us. Knowing that Newcastle will be missing one of their danger men, and the architect of our own downfall last time out, when the battle of the Championship's leading scorers takes place.
Still, all that is some time off. For now, we've got Christmas to look forward to and the hope that Scott is still a Bee by the time that game takes place. I've no doubt our faith in the player will be rewarded come January…..

As suspension bites, who plays in defence for Derby? Can Bees 'go again'?
It only seems like five minutes ago we were making that huge trek up to Newcastle United (and that was just the staircase in the away stand). Now Brentford find themselves on the road once again – this time Derby County is the destination. An immediate chance to bounce back or too much, too soon? Either way, such are the rigours of this double header that Dean Smith has elected to keep his team on their travels rather than returning to Griffin Park between games.
Newcastle was always going to be tough but they were half way down the track with the Bees still crouched in the blocks, the sound of the starting gun still ringing in our ears. It was 2-0 to the home side within what felt like ten seconds and Dean has publicly acknowledged our own defensive failings in that one. For the record, something most uncharacteristic this season. Changes are coming for the Derby game, although enforced.
Harlee Dean is suspended whilst Andreas Bjelland, covering at left back, "Has been nursing an ankle for two weeks".That was the update fro Dean Smith on 'official' yesterday. Will he be fit enough for tonight? Will Yoann start? At left back or centre back? Could Tom Field appear once more? Do we need to defrost Kevin O'Connor?
Only Dean knows for sure but his selection will be carefully scrutinised when it is announced at 7pm. Likewise in midfield where, if we're being honest, the team were stretched and a few of the players were definitely second best.
Newcastle United – did the experience get to us?
There are plenty of positives. We've got to where we are on merit and there won't be any tougher trip this season than that to Newcastle. Both in terms of atmosphere and opposition. Jon Shelvey and Dwight Gayle were amongst those showing their Premier League class. Let's not pretend that they are anything but top flight players.
Scott Hogan scored, again, whilst the Brentford fans kept going until the end. Much closer to the pitch at Derby than at the weekend, we're sure to make our voices heard.
As for the Rams, they have their own injury worries. Likewise the weight of expectation can only, one hopes, be growing following Steve McClaren's winning start. Is this the second coming of the Messiah or will he choke it tonight? Here's hoping for the latter.
One thing I can say for sure is that Saturday has left me wanting so much more. Despite the years kicking around the lower divisions, I'm now getting used to the Championship. Visiting new grounds, playing new teams and testing ourselves at a much higher level. Newcastle was a step up from even that, as was Aston Villa (at least, in terms of stadium).
Call me greedy. Call me unrealistic. Bournemouth did it (although at what price). Could Brentford also achieve an unlikely promotion to the Premier League? A win tonight would plunge us into the heart of the play-off zone , subject to other results. Just how much do the players want it ?
At 7.45pm, we find out.
Villa Park – another ground I want more of

With Derby next up, what can we learn from the Newcastle juggernaut?
Brentford travelled en-masse to Newcastle United full of expectation. We left on the wrong end of a 3-1 defeat. It is a scoreline that doesn't even come close to showing the gap between our two sides. I've no problem with being well beaten but let's not pretend that, on this occasion, we weren't anything but second best to deserved winners. Dean Smith's post match assertion that "We competed well enough" something which, I'm sorry to say, I disagree with. With the next game, at Derby County, only on Tuesday let's hope he reviews this one carefully.
Hey, I love our Bees. I love going away and this was a corker of a trip. Close to 3,000 visiting fans helping to make it the biggest crowd we've played in front of since 1946. And there, perhaps, was part of the issue. Whilst Newcastle are used to this on a weekly basis, we aren't.
A huge crowd to watch the Bees and Magpies
I'll big us up when we do well or 'fess up when we get away with proverbial murder, but I won't stick my head in the sand. It was like watching 11 rabbits caught in the headlights of on onrushing Geordie juggernaut for the first twenty minutes . And it rolled straight over us.
How much room for the first goal as Jonjo Shelvey directed it on to the head of an unpressured Ciaran Clarke just 11 minutes in ? Dwight Gayle was given all the space he needed for the second (16) as Shelvey's long ball over top set up the striker for the first of his pair.
Two down and rocking on the backfoot, Newcastle really should have administered a knockout blow on 20 minutes. Had Ayoze Perez opted for head rather than hand his goal would have stood and, surely, opened the floodgates for a potential 7(seven) goal bracketing.
Instead, despite Brentford having been carved open time and again like a prize turkey with little resistance offered in return, the Bees hung on to a 2-0 half time deficit. Yet with the gap manageable and the potential there to, erm, go again in the second period we crumbled just four minutes into the half. Gayle grabbing his second of the afternoon as Shelvey turned provider once more.
"To their credit, Brentford weren't overwhelmed and even had the last word….". Those aren't my words but those of Channel 5 commentator Nick Halling to describe the moment Scott Hogan swopped in to give us hope. The already vocal Bees erupted further; passion flared in the stands. With most of us cheering on our our boys (although a few choosing a somewhat insalubrious selection of exhortations and admonishments) a brief period of hope turned to a case of 'if only'.
Had we got that goal at 2 down rather than just a few moments after falling 3 behind then things might have been different. 2-1 and 40 minutes to play make it anybody's game. But, instead, it proved to be little more than consolation.
Mark Burridge talks through the action, as ever, c/o Brentford official
Newcastle United were worthy winners. Absolutely. You can only beat who you are up against and they did that. Yet, being equally honest, were they that good? At least, yesterday.
I'd agree with Dean that we gave them a helping hand and that defensively we're normally very good. Equally though, we offered little and had we challenged more then who knows what we'd have got out of this one?
Instead our selected team were stretched in midfield and couldn't get the ball forward. Substitutions, made once we were 3-1 down, seemed more around containing the damage than offering any hope of pulling something unlikely out of the bag. Surely that should have been more the team he started with than reverted to?
Newcastle United played us. We played them, the history, the reputation, the atmosphere, the stadium, the occasion and ourselves.
Genuinely, I think things would have been a lot closer had the game been at Griffin Park. But then that's home advantage and boy did they make it count. Let's not take anything away from Newcastle after a game they could have won by more.
Look. This shouldn't be taken as doom and gloom. Let's not forget we were up against a team who had recently won 6-0 at QPR and put 4 past current leaders Norwich City.
This is all part of a learning experience for a team that is still developing. It's just, perhaps, disappointing given how competitive we can be at times and how far we have already come. The more we play in venues such as this the more we'll learn how to handle the pressure. The more we'll learn to take the game to our opponents or, at the least, shut them down.
And if nothing else, we can leave with our heads held high. Given our own history with sh*t hashtags, (see, amongst others: #trophyfriends, #bignewambitions, #novemberkings ) it was nice to see one that was possibly even worse than all of these put together.
Newcastle United inviting their fans to #JoinTheRafalution.
Brentford have a chance to get straight back into action on Tuesday night at Derby County. Interestingly, Steve McClaren got off to a strong start as his Rams beat Leeds United 1-0. With his team climbing to within five points of our own 8th placed Bees, don't expect this one to be any easier.
For either side.

Technology trends heat up for financial firms
By Philip Freeborn, CEO Operate at Delta Capita
Accelerating technological developments are creating a slew of critical opportunities and challenges for financial firms. Here are the most important trends to watch in 2023.
Customer experience becomes more human and personalised
Digital experience has been critical to financial firms' strategies for a decade. But since the pandemic, customers have become less forgiving of companies that don't put them first in everything they do. For example, most people now say they would switch banks for a better experience.
Firms are also learning they cannot digitise at the expense of the human touch. According to research, banks that combine humanity and personalisation into their digital interactions can forge very strong customer connections, build trust, and drive growth. Being able to complete the transaction, with ease and in a timely manner when the customer determines it suits them is where Financial Institutions need to get to.
Various technologies, such as conversational intelligence, can support your efforts to become more human and personal again. They will help you provide a unique and innovative customer-centric approach, and a productive and appealing user experience at every engagement point.
Open banking drives inclusivity
Improvements in the way financial companies store, access and use data will play an increasing role in driving sustainability – for example, in helping track environmental, social and governance (ESG)-related risks across supply chains.
Another growing aspect of ESG is financial inclusivity. Developments such as open finance are driving inclusivity worldwide – for example, global account ownership grew from 51% to 76% between 2011 and 2021, according to the World Bank. But open finance is only just getting started, and many of its accessibility benefits are yet to be realised.
Inclusivity, however, is challenged in certain specific demographics too. For example, an increasing problem is that some parts of the population cannot get used to the heavy digitisation of the financial world since the global pandemic – and are increasingly left behind. These groups have different servicing needs and may prefer human assistance and one-on-one collaboration.
DC's technology supports businesses to service the whole spectrum of their customers, and specifically assists customers who cannot fully cope with a technology-heavy approach.
Datafication leaders reinvent the value chain
Datafication means turning many aspects of our life into data, which then realises new forms of value. The financial industry has one of the highest levels of data intensity, and so is one of the most disrupted by the trend toward datafication.
Banks who lead on datafication will increasingly be able to improve customer and employee experience, operational effectiveness, strategy and compliance.
It will also allow them to develop new revenue opportunities; and improve transparency and decisions about upstream and downstream supply and distribution. Datafication will therefore enable technology leaders to reinvent parts of the financial services value chain. This trend is exacerbating a shortage of data scientists and quants in the industry.
Artificial intelligence becomes a critical driver
Artificial intelligence is becoming a critical driver of growth and sustainability in financial services.
AI will increasingly enhance anti-financial crime efforts by, for example, analysing large numbers of transactions to highlight fraud and money laundering trends and detect them in real-time.
AI-powered chatbots can minimise the workload in call centres, and transform the customer experience. As mentioned, the rise of so-called conversational AI will enable more humanised customer experiences; rather than the limited communication chatbots have delivered so far.
Firms will also increase their use of AI to improve experience and efficiency in lending decisions, insurance, wealth management, regulatory compliance, and much more.
The cybersecurity battleground changes
Financial crime continues to increase in volume and sophistication. Two out of three businesses feel their cybersecurity risks are growing – with financial firms among the biggest targets.
In the first half of 2021, criminals stole £753 million through fraud alone, according to UK Finance – an annual increase of 3%. However, banks' advanced security systems prevented a further £736 million from being taken.
As technology advances – through mobile payments, digital servicing, cloud migrations or AI – more cyber-attacks follow. Integrity attacks – which change data rather than destroying it – affect trust and are the new frontier in the war against cybercrime. Financial institutions need to continue and invest more in education and training, prevention, detection and recovery.

On the heels of a strong move higher that started in mid-November, some of the largest small-cap ETFs have kept the good times going in 2013. For example, the iShares Russell 2000 Index (NYSE:IWM) and the Vanguard Small Cap ETF (NYSE:VB) are both higher by more than 7.5 percent on a year-to-date basis.
Strength in small-caps, an asset class often lauded for being an accurate gauge of risk appetite, has helped fuel a broader rally in U.S. stocks to start the year. That is the good news. The bad news is that if small-caps really are a measuring stick for animal spirits, then there are ample signs a broader market pullback could be imminent.
Affirming that theory means looking beyond IWM and VB because, in fairness to those ETFs, both have been solid performers as of late. Both ETFs have gained more than 1.8 percent in the past week alone. However, other small-cap ETFs are telling a different story, one that could be concerning for those that are long stock.
Market Vectors India Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:SCIF) Bad news keeps on mounting for India ETFs and the small-cap funds have been taking the most savage beatings. One day it is the market admonishing the Indian government's proposed spending spree, the next day it is a major ratings agency reminding investors India could easily lose its investment grade credit rating.
None of those factors have been good news for SCIF, which was already in trouble after failing to break through resistance in the $11.50 area earlier this year. Since then, SCIF has tumbled all the way to $9 area. Earlier today, the ETF touched a new 52-week at $8.95. What is ominous about that is not just the fact that $8.95 is a 52-week low, but also the fact that $8.95 is barely more than 20 cents removed from SCIF's all-time low.
With the way things look right now for Indian small-caps, even those investors with extremely long-term time horizons can afford to be patient because better pricing appears to be a foregone conclusion with SCIF and related funds.
Guggenheim China Small Cap ETF (NYSE:HAO) It is not a stretch to say that traders and investors that actively follow Chinese equities either FXI) this year, features an almost 18 percent allocation to the financial services sector.
Like IWM and VB, HAO has turned in a decent performance (up 1.5 percent) in the past week, but a drop below support at $24 could mean HAO's next stop is the $21-$22 area.
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio (NASDAQ:PSCU) The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio has just $30 million in assets under management and, generally speaking, the regulated utilities that investors prize as defensive plays are large-cap names. In other words, some folks probably would not consider PSCU a "bellwether ETF," although it has the potential to be just that.
Unlike the other funds highlighted here, PSCU is neither technically vulnerable nor is it being hampered by macro issues such as government budgets and property bubbles. PSCU has been solid year-to-date with a gain of 6.6 percent and a 30-day SEC yield of almost 3.3 percent could be a source of attraction for some income investors.
On that note, PSCU is worth keeping an eye on because a sudden increase in assets will indicate two things. First, it will say investors want to keep some small-cap exposure during a pullback, but favor low-beta sectors over the likes of financials, technology or emerging markets. Second, inflows to PSCU will also indicate investors are willing to pay up for playing defense. With a P/E ratio of 15.33, the Utilities Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:XLU) is trading at the higher end of its historical valuation range. PSCU's P/E is 17.3, according to PowerShares data.


Two people got in thick mud swamp in East Yorkshire.
Hull's Coastguard Rescue Team have released a video showing them bravely saving the pair stuck in the swamp in Paull, East Riding.
The life-saving crew was called on Tuesday, July 24, just after 3.15pm, after reports that two men and two vehicles were stuck on Thorngumbald Road.
The Coastguard Rescue Team posted the video on Facebook showing their crew members entering the water to rescue the men.
Both men managed to free themselves before the Coastguard arrived but it still proved a tricky operation for the team.
Posting onto Facebook, they said: "Persons located in the middle of large marshlands east of Fort Paull. Both vehicles self released on arrival of Coastguard Rescue Team.
"Two males rescued from the water by Coastguards using drysuits, personal flotation devices, lifejackets, throwlines, floating lines and inflatable raft in use by Coastguard and Rescue Team.
"Hull Coastguard Rescue Team, Withernsea Coastguard Rescue Team and Humberside Police in attendance."

By Katie Buckingham, Assistant Curator
Most of my job is a lot like every other office job. My desk is in a cubicle, and I usually spend my days attending meetings and hopping between Word, Excel, and Microsoft Office. But, one of my favorite parts of my job is when I get to escape my desk and step behind our gray temporary walls to install the art in our exhibitions.
Working on one of our newest exhibitions, Into the Deep, is one of my favorite projects so far – partially because the work in the exhibition presented some interesting challenges, and partially (ok, mostly) because it is a show I've been working on curating for almost two years. It was an amazing experience to finally meet artwork I had only seen in photos and to stand in 3D space that I had only been visualizing on paper.
One of my curatorial goals was to give visitors a sense of the diverse number of ways you can use glass to make art. To fulfill this goal I looked for artwork that was as different as possible from the hand-sculpted vase or bowl many you probably have at home. This goal had a fun side-effect for me – several of the pieces in the exhibition presented our Curatorial team with some unique installation challenges.
Blue Dome, by Seattle-based artist Kait Rhoads, is a giant (almost 9-foot tall) dome covered with individual blue glass scales. Visitors are encouraged to stand inside the dome and look up to feel like they are standing underwater.
Kait Rhoads (American, born 1995). Blue Dome, 1995. Single-strength plate glass, cut, drilled and fired with glass enamels; Courtesy of the artist.
Fortunately, we didn't have to attach each of the scales individually. The dome structure is made from a sturdy, steel frame. Kait Rhoads created a system where sheets of scales (attached individually to chicken wire) could be hung in sections across the metal frame.
Artist Kait Rhoads (in center of dome) works with MOG art handler Elizabeth Mauro to connect a section of glass scales to the steel frame. On the left of the frame, you can see small tags that are used to mark the connection points for the sections of scales.
Art installation is definitely a team effort. Here, Rebecca Engelhardt (MOG's Exhibition/Collections Manager) and Kait Rhoads hold a section of scales on the outside of the dome, while art handler Elizabeth Mauro secures the section to the frame with wire.
It took a team of four people almost six hours to install Blue Dome.
Two Seas, by Shayna Leib is another piece which took a whole team to hang on the wall. Leib is an avid scuba diver, and each of the frames in this piece represent species of coral, sea grass, or anemone seen through the lens of her underwater camera. Each of the frames is teeming with life, made from fragile, individually-sculpted pieces of glass.

Each of the picture frames arrived carefully packed in individual boxes, which were shipped together in a large, padded wooden crate. We unpacked and cleaned each piece of glass, using Q-Tips, glass cleaner, and canned air to dust the crevices between each glass tentacle.
A large table is set up in the galleries so each piece can be cleaned and prepared to hang on the wall.
Parts of Two Seas were so detailed that we had to use Q-Tips to make sure all of the surfaces were sparkly and clean. Leib uses tweezers to set each piece of glass individually into resin, and in doing so creates the effect of the individually drifting tentacles of anemones.
Often, artists will provide a template along with the artwork, so that we can hang a piece on the wall to their specifications. This is especially important for a piece like Two Seas, where the frames have to hang in a grid, but close enough together so that some of the glass tentacles from adjacent frames have the appearance of overlapping with each other.
MOG art handler Elizabeth Mauro marks the template for on the wall. By hanging the template on the wall using a level, she is able to push a nail through the paper template, leaving a mark on the wall where each mount needs to be attached.
Each of the framed glass pieces is attached to the wall using a french cleat. A french cleat is made from two pieces of wood, cut at a corresponding angle. One half of the cleat is attached to the wall, and the other to the top of the piece of artwork (see diagram below). The wood is cut at a steep angle, which act like two puzzle pieces, locking together to secure the artwork to the wall.
The diagonal cut in a french cleat creates two puzzle pieces which lock together to secure the artwork on the wall.
Elizabeth attaches the french cleat for piece #3 to the wall, and double-checks that it is level. The small pieces of blue tape are points marked from the template where the other French cleats will be attached.
After all of the french cleats are attached to the wall, we can hang each of the frames. Here, Elizabeth is wearing gloves to keep the glass clean.
Halfway finished! Two Seas is made of 13 framed glass compositions, which are each hung individually to the wall. Each frame is assigned a unique number, so we know which frame goes where, as well as which french cleat to use.
Now complete, Two Seas is featured on the title wall of Into the Deep.
These two pieces are just the tip of the iceberg (or should I say reef). I hope you can come down to Museum of Glass and dive on into the rest of the exhibition. Into the Deep is open through September 2017. Check out our calendar at http://museumofglass.org/event-calendar to learn more about events and activities related to the exhibition.

Every year, Museum of Glass invites artists to apply for a Visiting Artist Residency in the Museum of Glass Hot Shop. These residencies allow artists to explore new techniques or continue a current series with the assistance of the Museum's Hot Shop Team.
Approximately four applicants receive residencies every year, and this year Simone Fezer from Stuttgart, Germany, is one of MOG's Application Visiting Artists.

MOG caught up with Fezer before her residency this week.
I applied for a Visiting Artist Residency at Museum of Glass because…
I love traveling and working with people all over the world because that's how you really get to enter the places you're going to. Plus, of course, it's a great opportunity! To be given the chance to work with a larger and skilled team is a luxury, and allows me to develop my work without the economic pressure of having to succeed at all costs.
The thing I enjoy most about working in glass is…
The different levels. I love making glass, love the physical process and the challenge, love being in the moment, dancing…Then I love the many facets of glass, its different aspects: reflecting, altering, breaking and transmitting light, its fragility and translucency, its fluidity and rigidity, its many implications as a vessel, a lense, a window, a container…

When I am not working, I am…
Outside.
If I wasn't working with glass, I would work with…
Iron and steel, textiles and wood. As I actually am.
During my residency, I plan to…
Explore and have fun, try out things, push the boundaries…
Plan a visit to Museum of Glass to see Visiting Artist Simone Fezer working in the Hot Shop from October 5 through 9, or watch her residency online.

#AskACurator
On September 14, Museum of Glass participated in #AskACurator for the second year. #AskACurator invites museums throughout the world to answer questions from the public on social media. This year, Into the Deep curator Katie Buckingham took over Museum of Glass' Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to field questions from curious online fans.
Here are some of the questions she was asked and the answers she gave!
Q: What temp does glass melt along the color spectrum, Curator?
A: The melting point of a specific color of glass is specific to the brand of glass because it is specific to the exact chemical composition. Even clear glass melts at a variety of temperatures. The clear batch we use at MOG, called Spectrum 2.0, begins to soften at 1236*F and melts at 2200*F. Clear borosilicate glass (like Pyrex) glass melts at 3000*F because the chemical recipe includes the metal oxide boron trioxide. When glass artists purchase colors to use in their projects, each bar has a melting co-efficient (COE) that describes its specific melting temperature.
Q: How can you tell if an exhibition is curated well or not?
A: In my opinion, an exhibition should use the art/objects to tell a story.
Q: How do you choose which wall colors to put behind exhibitions? Especially with clear or transparent glass.
A: We have a fabulous Exhibition Designer who selects the wall color for our exhibits. She considers the mood of the show and also what makes the artwork look the best. Sometimes our artists have a specific color in mind, too. There are all sorts of tricks for clear glass – it depends on how much you want the piece to reflect the colors around it.
A: If there was one artist you could be a curator for, past or present, who would that be and why?
Q: Another hard question! Given that I'm surrounded by sea life lately, I would have loved to curate for Leopold or Rudolph Blaschka. They were a father-and-son team who created these amazing (and very scientifically accurate) glass models of sea life and plants. Our friends at Corning Museum of Glass have a great exhibit of their work. Check it out online: http://m.cmog.org/collection/exhibitions/blaschka.
Q: What is the proper way to approach a gallery with your glass art?
A: If you're preparing a portfolio to present to a gallery, it's helpful to include information about your work (an artist statement, biography and resume), as well as high-res images of your work with complete credit information.
Q: Is there a certain piece or pieces you think defines the collection at MOG?
A: It's hard to choose just one! The first piece that comes in mind is Landscape by Beth Lipman and Ingalena Klennel. It's monumental in scale (13 x 36 x 21 feet) and is made from over 400 pieces of glass. The artists collaborated on the piece during a series of residencies at MOG. It's a beautiful piece, and a fantastic example of pushing the medium of glass to its limits by experimenting and collaborating.

Q: How do you choose the pieces for a show like Into the Deep? Are they all pieces you already have in your collection?
A: Great question! Into the Deep started with a "Big Idea" – kind of like a thesis statement in a written paper. Our Big Idea is: "Glass artists are inspired by the ocean. They use the unique properties of glass to capture the way light water with water, as well as the movements and textures of marine life." We then for pieces that illustrated our Big Idea. Some of the artwork is part of MOG's collection. Other pieces, like Treasure-trove, were made in our Hot Shop.

Q: What's your personal mission as a curator?
A: I would love people to leave an exhibition excited about art and inspired to make something creative of their own.
Plan a visit to see Into the Deep at Museum of Glass, open September 24, 2016, through September 2017.

Now that the title caught your attention, the reality is that buyers of real property may be held liable for the Tax of a Foreign Seller.
A non-foreign certification is a document that protects buyers of real property interests from liability for the IRS withholding tax, which applies if the seller is a foreign person. If a seller is a non-U.S. citizen or resident, then FIRPTA (The Foreign Investment in Property Tax Act) applies and the buyer must withhold 15% of the sale price at the closing (10% before February 17, 2016). Even though the taxable gain of a transaction is earned by and is taxable to the foreign seller, the buyer is held liable for the tax if the foreign seller does not pay it. The withholding is required even if the transaction is through an installment sale.
However, there are exceptions to FIRPTA, where withholding is not required: when the purchaser will use the property as his residence and was purchased for a price of $300,000 or less, or when the seller is a not a foreign person and shows proof of it, or if it is an interest in a non-publicly traded domestic corporation where the corporation provides proof of US based, or if acquiring shares of a publicly traded corporation regardless of where it is incorporated.
If FIRPTA applies, the buyer must report the sale to the IRS on Forms 8288 and 8288-A, and pay the required tax withholding by the 20th day after the date of transfer. The foreign seller must also have a tax identification number (ITIN)(See our blog "ITIN and You" for more info).
Yet, if withholding is required, the amount may be reduced to less than 15% of the full price only when certification by the IRS is requested, that a reduced amount applies. The responsibility lies with the buyer because the IRS wants to make sure taxes are paid in case the foreign seller leaves the country.
There are several different forms and documents that need to be filed and reviewed by an attorney. This is a very complex area of law and those who wish to learn more are encouraged to consult an attorney before moving forward. EPGD Law is here to assist you in any of your homestead, FIRPTA, and ITIN questions/concerns. We can be reached by phone (786) 837-6787 or email info@epgdlaw.com.

Mike Jupp is a British artist who creates fantastic humorous "busy" cartoon puzzles for Gibsons. His images are full of meticulous detail and crazy characters.
See all Mike Jupp puzzles on Puzzle Warehouse here.
My reviews of Mike Jupp puzzles here.
Hi, Mike! It's a privilege to have you as a guest on our puzzle blog. I personally am a huge fan of your cartoon puzzles. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer some questions.
JJ: First, please introduce yourself and tell us where in the world are you located.
MJ: Wotcha Jane! I live in Bognor Regis which is in West Sussex on the south coast of England, roughly between Brighton & Portsmouth. I live on my own… alone that is, except for my VERY large Doberman Pincer.
JJ: Your most well-known jigsaw puzzle series is "I Love…" with Gibsons. Can you tell us how this series came about and how you began working with Gibsons?
MJ: A long time ago, I designed a poster called 'I survived Bognor Regis'…one of my Dutch clients (John Faber) saw it and asked me to do a similar design called 'I Love Amsterdam'… Waddingtons saw those and asked me if they could reproduce the Bognor image. Waddingtons were taken over and they discontinued their puzzles. It such a long time ago, but I think Gibsons approached me…and I've been doing soppy images with them ever since!
JJ: Have you ever worked with any other puzzle companies?
Above: Mike in the early years working in his studio. Photo provided by Mike Jupp.
JJ: What's ahead for the "I Love…" series? We're due an "I Love… Autumn" Since you already did Spring, Summer and Winter. Do you have any idea when we might see that? And will there be more past that one?
JJ: The "I Love…" puzzles are so jam-packed with funny characters. It's a trite question, but where do you get your ideas? Can you give us a specific example?
MJ: I watch! I watch people and animals.
JJ: Are any of the figures in your puzzles people you know in real life?
MJ: I've put a drunken version of me in 'I Love Gardening'… and Mike Gibson in a seat on the top deck of the foreground bus in, 'I Love Summer'. The rest I make up, in case they have good lawyers!
JJ: For the "I Love…" series, does Gibsons come up with the ideas for the general themes for those (like 'pets' and 'gardening') or do you or both?
MJ: No, I usually come up with the ideas… which are usually rejected. Eventually we come to an agreement!
Above: A detail from Mike's "I Love London", published by Gibsons.
JJ: Do you have a favorite "I Love…" puzzle image?
MJ: Any of them after I Love Great Britain. I finished painting by hand and learnt how to render in CGI…Anything I did before that makes me wince!
Above: One of the most popular of the "I Love…" series is "I Love Christmas". You can read my review here.
JJ: Besides the "I Love…" series, have you done any other jigsaw puzzles? If so, what were they?
Above: The "Rustic Revel" images were published as puzzles by the UK Jigsaw Puzzle Club.
JJ: Outside of jigsaw puzzles, what other type of art illustration have you done?
I was commissioned as the Art Director, character designer, and storyboard artist on a couple of Dutch TV series . That resulted in me being sent to California where I had the good luck to work for Jerry Smith, the owner of The Mill Valley Animation Studio'. His great friend was George (Star Wars) Lucas. As luck would have it I'd taken the designs for my own TV series with me. To cut a long story short, Lucas was impressed and that resulted in 'The Dreamstone' being commissioned by ITV. It went on to broadcast 52 half hour episodes, making it Britain's longest ever cartoon series. After that I created 'Bimble's Bucket', again for ITV. I was then dismissed from the British Production Company ('surplus to requirements'). They went on to produce out of copyright Hans Christian Anderson stories! Ho –hum!
JJ: Tell us about the art projects you are engaged in currently.
MJ: For the last 18 months I've been Art Director and storyboard Artist on Mike Batt's new CGI series of 'The Wombles'. That has come to a halt…so I'm back to my new Jigsaw Puzzle design.
JJ: Are you an artist full-time or do you have another career as well?
MJ: Nope! I've been a cartoonist, illustrator designer, writer since I left Art College. Apart from going down the pub…I have NO spare time at all! Actually, that's not quite true. I've been involved with some architectural design projects and organizing my own 'events'. They all needed loads of artwork. In 1997 I spent about 6 months writing my first novel 'Retribution'.
Above: A brilliant ad for Mike Jupp's puzzle that Gibsons put together.
JJ: How did you get started drawing? Were you formally educated?
MJ: I was expelled from school at 16…I got a load of A Levels and Degrees at Art College…but I'm absolutely bloody useless at everything except being creative…and drawing!
JJ: Can you describe your process when you create a complicated scene for a puzzle. Do you start with pencils? Do you work from photographs or reference books? Do you color digitally or in the real world, etc.
JJ: When you're not working, what do you do for fun?
JJ: Do you ever work jigsaw puzzles yourself? If so, what kind do you like?
MJ: Neh!… Far too difficult!
JJ: The type of artwork that you do is so high-detail. I imagine you would need to have a healthy dose of 'right brain', logical type, as well as 'left brain' artist type. What do you think enables you to do these kinds of scenes?
MJ: Sheer lunacy. A love of nature, a sense of humour and being totally useless at anything else!
Above: Mike's "I Love Winter" — click for a very large view.
JJ: When was your first 'busy cartoon scene' created and what was your inspiration? Where you influenced by Jan Van Haasteren or early Heye puzzles at all?
Above: A throw back photo Mike shared on his facebook page.
JJ: Who are a few of your favorite artists?
JJ: Is there anything else you'd like to tell your fans?
Above: Village parish boundary signs Mike made for his community.
Thank you so much for letting us get to know you a bit, Mike. Best of luck and we are waiting with great patience for "I Love Autumn"!
Thank you Jane and the amazing Mike Jupp. If I could save only a few from my puzzle collection, it would be my Mike Jupp puzzles, no question. I love them so much and get joy out of putting them together. There are just so many fantastic details. I hope Gibsons know how lucky they are to have him. May there be many more Mike Jupp puzzles to come. The glimpse of the new Autumn one makes me think it will be a beauty. i like the colours already.
I love the colors too. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview. My "I Love…." set is definitely one of the highlights of my collection too.
LOVE Mr. Jupp's sense of humor!
Thanks Jane for this interview! Always a delight to see the other works of such talented artists. And Mike's sense of humour hits people in the gut!
Happy Christmas, Mike! Looking forward to "I Love Fall" next year.

Exxon/TEEX partner on new emergency response course tailored to pipeline and storage tank incidents.
Industrial Fire World
Storage tank firefighting project at TEEX.
SPRING, Texas – ExxonMobil Pipeline Company and Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) today announced the establishment of a new emergency response training course specifically designed to train firefighters on how to safely manage the challenges experienced during liquid pipeline and storage tank incidents. ExxonMobil has provided TEEX with a $200,000 grant that will fund the development of the program and the participation of 150 firefighters in the coming year. TEEX, a leader in administering emergency response training, will oversee the program and work with ExxonMobil emergency response experts to develop the pipeline and storage tank training curriculum and exercises. The course will be offered at TEEX's Brayton Fire Training Field, one of the world's top training facilities, located within the emergency preparedness campus in College Station, Texas. Three sessions will be offered for up to 50 participants at each session: Aug. 17-18, 2019; Oct. 19-20, 2019; and Jan. 11-12, 2020....

IRECA: June conference expands competition
Brayton Fire Training Field in College Station, TX is an internationally recognized emergency response training center.
Offering something a little different every year has been the guiding principle behind planning the International Rescue and Emergency Care Association conference. However, the 71st Annual Conference & Challenges being held June 17 through 21, 2019 in College Station, TX represents a more ambitious leap for IRECA. With Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service's (TEEX) Brayton Fire Training Field and Disaster City® as its location, the conference is expanding the number of teams competing in its rescue challenges from six to 12, said past IRECA president and conference chairman Gary Leafblad. "Doubling the number of teams in one year represents a big gamble for us," Leafblad said. The last IRECA conference was conducted in Boise, ID using the Amalgamated Sugar refinery as the setting for the challenges involving seven-member technical rescue teams and four-member first response rescue teams. There was also a basic life support challenge open to three-member level teams. Moving...

Class Act: Firefighters change training schedule to accommodate Bush funeral
Former President George H.W. Bush, 94, was laid to rest Dec. 6 at his presidential library in College Station, TX. His death was a tragedy for the nation and played havoc with the planned schedule for the winter Hellfighter U fire training at the nearby Brayton Fire Training Field. "We're forced into scrambling the agenda and rearranging the curriculum in a sequence we've never utilized before," Hellfighter U director Frank Bateman said. The changes also meant sacrificing a portion of the open discussion time to discuss such hot button issues as prioritizing performance and firefighter safety in the controversy concerning firefighting foam and the environment. "What I say is if you're going to put your life on the line using firefighting foam, make sure it performs," Bateman said. "I want to incorporate that into the criteria for foam testing." PHOS-CHEK ™ , the company behind Hellfighter U, offers a full range...

Valero firefighters in Memphis train on their own fire field
For most industrial emergency responders, live-fire training is a treat reserved for occasional visits to Brayton Fire Training Field in Texas or the state fire academies back home. But at Valero Energy's 195,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Memphis, TN training with live fire is the norm, not the exception. Valero Memphis operates its own fire field on site, complete with live-fire training props, said Nick Fazzio, chief of the Valero Memphis emergency response team. "We're really lucky that we can do live fire training in our refinery Fazzio said. "We like to take advantage of it." Once relatively common, refineries with on-site training for emergency responders are becoming harder to find. Most have long since been taken over by the necessities of expanding production with only limited property available. "We bring the Memphis municipal firefighters into our facility to train," as well as bring them with us to TEEX to give...

TEEX holds 56th annual industrial fire training
Seven hundred and thirteen industrial emergency response brigades members and safety officers from some of the world's largest energy and chemical companies attended the 56th annual Industrial Fire School at Brayton Fire Training Field last July in Texas. The students represent 17 countries and 32 U.S. states. Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) staffers and 267 specially recruited guest instructors conducted the training. Bill Burket of Shell has attended every summer school for the last 19 years. Now a guest instructor he teaches NFPA 1080 exterior firefighting. "We get a lot of municipal firefighters," he said. "We try to introduce them to the different approach needed for big fires." As children, Burket brought his two children to witness the school. Today, his oldest holds a degree in industrial safety. His youngest, Michael, 19, now pursuing the same degree, returned to Brayton this year with his father. David Bartek of Charlotte,...

Williams Fire & Hazard Control legendary industrial fire event returns to Brayton Fire Field
One hundred and fifty participants from nine countries representing 63 different companies attended the 25th annual XTREME Fire and Hazard Training in June at Brayton Fire Training Field in College Station, TX. Chauncey Naylor, director of training and emergency response for Johnson Control's Williams Fire & Hazard Control, celebrating a quarter century as one of the premier events on the industrial fire training calendar deserves recognition. "Just about everything that has gone into that 25-year history is something you're going to witness today," Naylor told the audience for the opening day general session. "Along with our sales and response team, sixteen guest instructors representing all aspects of industrial emergency response conducted the combination of classroom and live-fire training that makes the XTREME event unique," said Naylor. "We had a star studded group of guest instructors from industry," he said. "We need to acknowledge with deep graditude that industry really...

Chevron firefighters greet the dawn battling a live-fire training prop
Scheduling nighttime live-burns at Brayton Fire Training Field becomes a challenge during the summer. Texas twilight lingers long past 8 p.m., making it hard to get an early start the next day, said Tonnie R. Hopson, operations chief for Chevron's three-times-a-year corporate fire school. Instead, the Chevron firefighters hit the field at 5:30 a.m. on the last day of the four-day school. "The responders look forward to getting up and getting it knocked out," Hopson said. "It means an early finish for them at around 2 p.m. and the rest of the day to do what they want." An hour before dawn nearly 80 responders took up positions on three live-fire projects at the southeast end of the fire field – the chemical complex, rail car loading rack and tank and dike project. When all three are ignited, it provided the first serious light to break the darkness. Slowly, the...

XTREME: Annual Williams F&HC school returns to its roots at Brayton
College Station, TX, is now one of three annual international stops made by the Williams Fire & Hazard Control Xtreme Industrial Fire & Hazard Training event held at Brayton Fire Training Field in June. The other two upcoming stops for the event are Saint-Marcel, France, in September and Rayong, Thailand, in January, said Chauncey Naylor, director of emergency response and training at Williams Fire. "Now that we are a Johnson Control company we have the ability to bring this program to other parts of the world and we are not stopping there," Naylor told firefighters attending the June event. "We have plant to add yet another region to the schedule." Designed primarily for advance level firefighters, the event includes classroom study and practical exercises to cover various incident profiles and fire dynamics, foam and dry chemical applications, response logistics and field operations and large-volume equipment applications. The event at Brayton marked...

Q: google spreadsheet script editor: delete a project I have two script projects for a spreadsheet. One was a temp one for development testing. I want to delete the temp one. When I click on script editor it shows both projects, and I can select one, but there is no option for deleting.
Also when I open the project itself there is no delete option.
I have seen other SO threads (such as this), but it seems the interface is changed since then.
Attached the screenshots.
Script Editor File menu:

A: Make sure that you are the owner of the script.
I've tried to replicate your issue in other scripts which I don't own and it seems that I cannot see a Delete Project... option under File menu.
But with my owned script, there is a Delete Project... option. See screenshot.

Here's a reference post: How can I remove a project from a Google Spreadsheet?
UPDATE (based from OP's comment):
You must be the owner of the spreadsheet to show the Delete Project... option.
