A pub has recovered more than £1,000 for charity from a wishing well, dropped into its depths over the past 20 years.
As reported by The Argus, more than 100 people watched on as Iain Tindall and Lloyd Sessions, of Belay Rope Access, made the mission to the depths of the well, which required them to wear oxygen masks, at The Abergavenny Arms in Lewes.
Above land, pub goers cheered them on while enjoying a hog roast, raffle and competition to guess the weight of the well's haul.
Over a one hour period, the pair emptied the well collecting £1,000 in cash, made up largely from pennies, and other trinkets, including knives, a packet of Twiglets and a My Little Pony toy.
Lucie Sargent, who has been the landlady of the pub for nearly six years, said: "People have been throwing coins down there for years and we thought, let's go get that and give something back to the community.
Of the money raised, 75% will go to Newhaven RNLI with the rest going to nearby Rodmell Parish church.
I would hardly call it a 'haul', it works out at £1 per week.


Abstract: A high school student who is deafblind shares his experience attending a dance sponsored by a local church.
A note from mom: This article is written through Travis' perspective through a process we routinely use. He chose individual phrases and words for this article on his own. For example, we would come up with an idea that fit into the specific part of the storyline and present Travis a choice about what to write. After it was written, he would be asked if it was okay. If Travis responded "yes," the sentence would stay in the article. If he said "no," then we would begin the process of making choices again. While it is a lengthy process, we are finding that Travis not only has a wicked sense of humor but now he really has a voice. Instead of being talked about, he engages with people.
Thanks to TWUMC, Special Blessings Ministry Team, Lisa and Nino Thompson, Debbie and Kevin Glass, Willie and Gayle, George and Christine Givens and all the parents and high school volunteers who made this a special night for all. While on vacation in Indiana, Travis has shown his pictures and told his story to many people. It has even encouraged his friend Amanda to speak to her pastor about holding a special prom at her church. It is amazing the change two smiling faces can bring to this world.
Most teenagers look forward to the spring when the big event takes place in their lives…PROM. Every year, The Woodlands United Methodist Church holds a "Special Blessings" prom and this would be my first year that I would be able to attend. I never thought this day would come, especially after all the medical crisis I have had lately. But April 12th was approaching fast and I still did not have a date for the dance.
As I lay in my hospital bed, I decided to ask a friend, Skye Givens, to join me at the dance. My mom and I were a little worried because Skye is 10 and I am 17 and maybe her parents wouldn't let her go. So my mom asked her mother if it was ok to invite her. Ms. Givens was excited and said I could ask Skye to go to the prom as my guest.
I made a special invitation asking Skye to do me the honor of attending a "Royal Evening" with me at the church. Her parents called and said she would love to go.
Now the real work began. Mom told dad and me that it was our job to get my tux and her flowers. Dad was ready to go to the mall but mom said we had to wait until we knew the color of Skye's dress. While Skye and her mom were shopping for her dress, a friend of mine Sky Hoake, gave me his old tux that he had outgrown. It was a perfect fit.
Finally Ms. Givens called and said that Skye would be wearing a yellow gown. Dad and I ordered a yellow cummerbund and bowtie from the internet. He asked mom if I needed shoes but mom said I could wear my black shoes that fit over my braces. Then it was off to the flower shop. The clerk helped us pick out a pretty flower design, and I paid for it.
Dad and I went to the mall to get me some special cologne for the big night. I smelled over 12 scents before I picked the most expensive Gucci cologne. Now I was ready.
April 12th finally arrived; I spent the afternoon getting dressed. My sister came over and we took a lot of pictures. I gave mom a special flower for her to wear. Then it was off to meet up with Skye.
When we arrived at the church, there were a lot of friends all waiting to greet us and take our picture. Skye and I got our crowns and sashes proclaiming us to be King and Queen. We had a short ride in a horse drawn carriage to the entrance of the hall. We were introduced by the court jester and then the dance began.
Mom and Ms. Givens were sure that it would be a short stay because Skye and I are both Deafblind and don't handle noise very well. Our parents thought that we would last one maybe two songs at the most. As the night progressed, I never left the dance floor. Mom helped me dance at first, then she showed two very nice high school girls how to move my chair and they were my partners for the rest of the night. Skye danced nearby with her special helpers and we had a blast. My first prom was a huge success and I can hardly wait until next year.


It's the midway point of the season, so let's hand out some awards to the 7-1 New Orleans Saints.
Some of these might change by the end of the year, but for now let's announce the winners of the inaugural Joshies. Or the Midseasies. Or a better name I haven't thought of yet.
I said in a recent mailbag that he'll probably be the team's best player as long as he plays, though I could see Marshon Lattimore at some point being in the conversation.
He's 16 of 17 on field goals so far this season.
Brees connecting with Tre'Quan Smith for a 62-yard touchdown to break Peyton Manning's record for most career passing yards in NFL history.


I have always been comfortable meeting with people in broken marriages at any time of stage of the marriage breakdown. Many people know they are ready to end a marriage once they make that first step to talk to an experienced divorce lawyer for advice and strategy. However, some people with a 'dependent personality' arguably stay in bad marriages far too long, and can sometimes become victimized by a marriage partner that is controlling or abusive. Many people with these dependent traits are very good and kind people, who simply do not have a good sense of healthy boundaries. One of my goals is to help coach good people in difficult or abusive situations, and engineer a better life for them and their children.
There is a temptation in relationship dependency to focus on the relationship itself. But the key to knowing how susceptible you are to relationship dependency is to focus on your part of the equation. You need to ask yourself, "Do I have a dependent personality, or do I tend to display dependent personality traits?" If you do, then it is likely those traits will show up in your relationships.
Following are nine traits associated with a dependent personality. They are not always easy to read and identify with, and it is understandably difficult for people to look so deeply in the mirror. Each person will come to a crossroads where they must decide to continue down the challenging path of self-discovery. Those who find themselves dependent-whether on alcohol or drugs, food, gambling, shopping, or relationships-will come to that crossroads.
1. Dependent people have difficulty making everyday decisions without advice and reassurance.
The key here is everyday decisions. If you're going to going to make a major life change, of course you would talk over your decision and get opinions from family and friends. But a dependent personality faces everyday decisions from a position of hesitation and fear. The difficulty is the terror of being wrong.
2. They need others to assume responsibility for many major areas of life.
3. They have difficulty disagreeing with others out of fear.
Have you ever seen that tongue-in-cheek sign that says, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as long as it agrees with mine?" A dependent person has a variation on that sign: "I am entitled to my own opinion, as long as it agrees with yours." A dependent person does not feel worthy to express or have an opinion that differs from someone else they feel they need.
4. They struggle to start projects or do things on their own.
Dependent people fear exposure because it may cause others to realize how "worthless" they really are. They fear having failures and weaknesses on public display. One way dependent people avoid failure is to avoid taking the initiative. They don't put themselves out in front of others by taking the initiative or promising results. If they believe they are doomed to fail at a task, they are not motivated to engage in that task; they are motivated to avoid it.
5. They feel anxious or distressed when alone, or when thinking about being alone.
Dependent people often expect the worst. They do not feel competent to live their own lives without others. Being alone means being unprotected and vulnerable. The thought of being alone to cope with whatever "worst" life throws at them is simply overwhelming. Dependent people wholeheartedly believe in Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
6. They make themselves responsible when bad things happen.
Life happens; things happen. Sometimes those things are bad. Dependent people, who do not sufficiently love or trust themselves, are quick to assign themselves blame for those bad things, even if that judgment is unreasonable. They will commandeer the blame from events, circumstances, and even other people.
7. They feel responsible for fulfilling the expectations of others.
In dependency, the dependent person adopts the expectations of the other person as their own. So when the dependent person fails, they fail to meet not only the expectations of the other person but also their own. Each failure strengthens the dependent person's damaging judgment of self.
8. They have a high need for validation and approval from others.
Dependent people can crave validation and approval as desperately as an alcoholic craves a drink or a gambler craves a jackpot. When validation and approval happen, the planets align and all is right with the person's universe, at least until insecurity kicks in again. So any "win," though desperately craved, is suspect as a mistake, at worst, or momentary, at best.
9. They are unable to create or defend personal boundaries.
The only real boundary a dependent person has is to be within the boundary of a desired relationship. Apart from that, all other personal boundaries are fluid and negotiable in order to maintain the desired relationship. A willingness to negotiate personal boundaries for a relationship creates vulnerability. Some personality types look to exploit this type of vulnerability. They are all-too-willing to find out how much a dependent person is willing to give. And that pool of needs is never filled; the dependent person cannot seem to give enough to fill it.
Accepting the truth, though difficult, is the pathway to freedom. The dependent person has spent time and energy trying to hold on to relationships that constantly threaten to slip away. To heal, they must see the value in expending time and energy in establishing relationships based on truth.

Bryan Herta: Robert Wickens' return 'one of most important things we've done in racing'
By Nate RyanJan 28, 2022, 1:00 PM EST
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — Bryan Herta cold-called Robert Wickens nearly a year ago about returning to a race car for the first time after a devastating accident at Pocono Raceway.
It was because Herta believed that Wickens still could drive at a championship level despite being robbed of the ability to walk since the Aug. 19, 2018 crash when the Canadian suffered a thoracic spinal fracture, neck fracture, fractures to both legs and hands, a fractured right forearm, fractured elbow, a concussion, four fractured ribs and a pulmonary contusion.
But hiring Wickens to drive a Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TCR in the Michelin Pilot Challenge this season also stemmed from a sense of empowerment in the type of racing situation often marked by feeling powerless.

Herta opened a Thursday news conference with Wickens at Daytona International Speedway by describing the venture as "personally one of the most important things we've done in racing."
When asked to elaborate, the veteran of the IndyCar series who also called the 2011 Indy 500 winner of Dan Wheldon (and now handles strategy for his son, Colton Herta) took a long pause.
"Well, I love this sport; I love competing in it," Bryan Herta said. "I was there in Pocono in the pit lane when Robbie had his accident. I remember the emotions you go through being there.
Simply inspiring.
Four years ago, @robertwickens was paralyzed in a crash. Today, Wickens competed in his first race since the crash using hand controls…

"And I've been through loss in motorsport. I've seen pain and people around you experience it. And I've never been in a position to do anything or to help. But this time we were. So for me, it just feels personal."
Qualifying seventh for Friday's race (live at 1:35 p.m. ET on Peacock) was something Wickens took personally as he returned to racing competition. Sporadic rain and a guessing game at conditions around the 12-turn, 3.56-mile road course left Wickens on a wet-weather tire when dry would have been optimum.
But during the four-hour race Friday, he and co-driver Mark Wilkins scored a podium in their first outing together.
Robert Wickens smiles during a news conference Thursday at Daytona (IMSA).
Overall, Wickens said Thursday that he has enjoyed operating a car at speed for the first time with a specially modified wheel that features hand controls for accelerating and braking.
"It's just been plug and play, and we've been able to focus on myself getting up to speed," he said. "A lot of long conversations with Mark Wilkins. I keep asking him hundreds of questions a day. And thankfully, he's patient because he's answering all of them very kindly.
"I'm learning as I go. I feel right now I'm about 70% to where I want to be with the car. I was hoping for a lot more in that qualifying session, but there's still a lot to play for (in the race)."
1,258 days and here we are. On the podium at Daytona.
Thank you @BHA, @Hyundai, Karli and everyone who has supported me through this journey.
This isn't the finish line and I'll never stop pushing but… I'M BACK.@IMSA | @daytona | #IMSA | #RW6 | #ROLEX24 pic.twitter.com/IFjW9VBLC2
Wickens is using a steering wheel identical to paralyzed BHA teammate Michael Johnson, who laid the foundation for BHA's approach to hand controls.
"It really would have been impossible without Michael Johnson racing," Herta said. "And the relationship there a year ago in these garages was where the conversation started about offering Robbie a chance to come drive the car.
"Driving with hand controls is something Michael Johnson has done in various years for many years now, and the basic system they started and developed around Michael and adapted to various cars over years, that is the basis of evolution of system we use this year. I don't know without all the groundwork they'd done that we would have been able to be in a position to have Robert drive one of our cars."
Man that felt good! https://t.co/RUQS6R0HjW
Wickens made his debut with the team in a track day last May at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course but didn't drive again until a shakedown test last week (though he made thousands of laps in simulation).
It's been part of big month in which he also announced that he would become a father this year.
"There's a lot of times I didn't think I'd have a year like this," he said. "I always knew I wanted to get back into a race car. I felt like I was trying for the better part of two years to find an opportunity like Bryan gave me.

"Obviously on a personal front, starting a family was always high on myself and Karli's list. We were trying for a while, and thankfully it was successful just after the IndyCar season ended, and here we are.
"It's kind of a perfect 2022."
He gave much of the credit to Herta and his phone call out of the blue "bluntly asking if I'd ever want to drive a race car again, just to know where my thoughts were.

"It's humbling for sure but also goes to show the kind of person Bryan Herta is," Wickens said. "here were many people in my life closer to me than what Bryan was at the time that could have offered me the chance to get behind the wheel of the race car, and then for one reason or another, it never came to fruition.
"It's an amazing opportunity for me to get back into a race car and compete again. I've been pretty clear I want to win. I'm not here just for a media tour to tick a box and move on with my life. I want to win a championship for myself. I want to win a championship for Bryan and Hyundai and BHA. I couldn't be in a better position with a teammate that's won a championship and team that's won three in a row. If we don't win it, it's going to look badly on us. We'll have to keep plugging away."
Said Herta: "I love that a lot of people might expect he's just happy to be back, and in his first weekend, he's pissed off to qualify seventh. That's how I know he's going to do great things."
Alexander Rossi 'fits like a glove' with his new IndyCar teammates at Arrow McLaren Racing
Nate Ryan
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – There are more than three dozen fresh faces on the Arrow McLaren Racing IndyCar team, but there was one that Felix Rosenqvist was particularly keen to know – Alexander Rossi.
The driver of the No. 7 Dallara-Chevrolet is the most high-profile new hire for McLaren, which has expanded to a third car to pair with the No. 6 of Rosenqvist and No. 5 of Pato O'Ward.
And there is another layer than Rossi just being the new kid. McLaren marks only his second team in NTT IndyCar Series after seven seasons at Andretti Autosport, where he began with a victory in the 2016 Indy 500 and was a championship contender for several seasons.
Rossi is a mercurial talent, and when things go wrong, the red mist quickly descends (and sometimes has led to feuds with teammates). He went winless during two of his final seasons at Andretti and was out of contention more often than not, often bringing out the prickly side of his personality.
Yet there has been no trace of the dour Rossi since joining McLaren. The pragmatic Californian is quick to remind everyone he hasn't worked with the team yet at a track (much less been in its car), and there surely will be times he gets frustrated.
But it's clear that Rossi, who made five Formula One starts in 2015 after several years racing in Europe, already is meshing well with an organization whose England-based parent company has deep roots in F1.
"I've been pleasantly surprised," Rosenqvist said Tuesday during IndyCar's preseason media availabilities. "I think Alex kind of has that bad-guy role a little bit in IndyCar. He's always been that guy, which is cool. I think we need those guys, as well.
"Actually having gotten to know him, he's been super nice, super kind. He fits like a glove in the team. I think it fills a role where Pato is kind of like the crazy guy, I'm somewhere in the middle, and Alex is the more engineering guy in the team. I think Alex has more experience, as well. He just feels like a guy who knows what he wants.
"Yeah, good addition to the team and great guy at the same time."
There are many reasons why Rossi's transition from Andretti to McLaren should be smoother than his abrupt move from F1 to IndyCar seven years ago. Namely, he no longer is the only newcomer to the team's culture.
"It's been kind of a good time to come in because everyone is finding a new role and position and kind of learning who's who, finding everyone's strengths and weaknesses," he said.
But while Rossi might have questions about the team, he has none about the series. Unlike when he arrived at Andretti without any oval experience, Rossi joins McLaren with his IndyCar credentials secured as an established star with eight victories, seven poles and 28 podiums over 114 starts.
Even in his swan song with Andretti, Rossi still managed a farewell victory last July at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course that snapped a 49-race, three-year winless drought. It seems reasonable to believe he immediately could re-emerge in his 2017-19 title contender form.
I'll be covering @IndyCar Content Days in Palm Springs the next two days and then preseason testing at @ThermalClub.
Here's a new look for @AlexanderRossi driving for @ArrowMcLaren this season. pic.twitter.com/v4XmN6aShN
— Nate Ryan (@nateryan) January 31, 2023
"I know the series, and I know kind of everything that goes into American open-wheel racing vs. the European open-wheel racing, which is really the biggest transition," Rossi said. "Certainly it's the largest kind of team switch. I've obviously driven for different teams in the past in Europe, in sports cars, whatever, but never really in my full-time job. I've driven for the same organization for a very long time and have a lot of respect and fabulous memories with those people.
"So it has been a big kind of shift, trying to compare and contrast areas that I can bring kind of recommendations and experience to maybe help fill the gaps that exist at Arrow McLaren. Again, all of this is in theory, right? I don't really know anything. We'll have a much better idea and plan going into St. Pete (the March 5 season opener)."
He has gotten a good handle on how things work at its Indianapolis headquarters, though, and has been pleased by the leadership of new racing director Gavin Ward (who worked in F1 before a championship stint with Josef Newgarden at Team Penske). McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown also seems omnipresent on both sides of the Atlantic, making appearances at IndyCar races seemingly as much as in the F1 paddock.
"I think what's very cool about Arrow McLaren is we do have the resources of the McLaren F1 team," Rossi said. "They very much are being integrated in a lot of respects. It's not two separate entities. McLaren Racing is one organization that has its people and resources and intellect in kind of everything. It's been pretty cool to see how that can be an advantage to us in terms of people, resources, simulations, software, kind of everything. We've been able to kind of rely on that and use that as a tool that maybe other teams certainly don't have."
That will be helpful for Rossi with the methodologies and nuances of racing a Chevrolet for the first time after seven seasons with Honda.
And of course, there will be the relationship with O'Ward, who has been McLaren's alpha star since 2020.
Rossi was in a similar role for Andretti, which raises questions about how McLaren will handle having two stars accustomed to being the face of the team. But O'Ward said IndyCar regulations should allow each driver to maintain their own style without being forced to adapt as in other series.
"At the end of the day, as much as teammates will help in order to gather data, it doesn't mean they're going to specifically help you in what you need because it's a series where you can really tailor the car to what you want," O'Ward said. "Rather than in Formula 1, (it's) 'This is the car, you need to learn how to drive this certain car.' In IndyCar, it's very different where you can customize it to what you want it to feel like or drive like.
"From past experience, I think Alex likes a car similar to what I do. I do think we have a very strong car in certain areas, but I definitely think he's coming from a car where that other car has been stronger than us in other racetracks. I feel like if we can just find gains where we haven't quite had a winning car, a podium car, that's just going to help all of us."
Though Thursday at The Thermal Club will mark the first time the trio works together at a track, Rosenqvist said he's hung out a lot with Rossi (both are 31 years old) and deems his new teammate "well-integrated" in the simulator.
"I think the fit has been good with him, me and Pato," Rosenqvist said. "On a trackside perspective, it's obviously huge to have always a third opinion on things. Every driver's opinion is valuable in its own way."
Said O'Ward, 23: "It's been great. (Rossi has) been great to have around. I think he needed a fresh start. I think he's excited to really work with all of us, create the strongest package."
Ever the realist, though, Rossi still is tempering some of his enthusiasm.
"Again, we haven't really done anything yet other than some meetings and some team activities together," he said. "I have a lot of respect for what they've done in IndyCar and also their prior careers. I think that we all bring something a little bit different to the table, which I think is really unique in terms of not only personalities but driving styles and experience levels.
"I think we have the ingredients to really be able to develop the team and continue to push the team forward to even a better level than what they've shown in the past. It's been a really positive experience. Really I have nothing at all negative to say and can't actually wait to get to work, get on track and start working together."

Graduating from high school is often the first of many major educational milestones in a person's life. There is undoubtedly a sense of pride and achievement, but there can also be a feeling of loss for those going from the comfort and support of a school community into the big, wide world. For many students, the end of their school education is the end of their sense of belonging and they can feel incredibly alone and isolated. This is thankfully not the case for Ivanhoe graduates, who have numerous ways to keep connected and continue contributing to their school community...
One hundred years, four principals
How many principals would you expect a school to have in 100 years? 10? 15? 20? It is astonishing to think that just four leaders have been at the helm of Ivanhoe Grammar School in a century.

DMC Global Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
Geoff High
Vice President of Investor Relations
Consolidated third quarter sales were $55.3 million, up 28% sequentially and down 45% from Q3 2019
Gross margin was 25%, up from 15% in Q2 2020 and down from 36% in Q3 2019
Operating income was $1.5 million versus $12.8 million in Q3 2019
Net income was $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share; while adjusted net income* was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA* was $6.0 million versus negative $1.8 million in Q2 2020 and positive $23.2 million in Q3 2019
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2020, were $24.6 million, up from $17.2 million at June 30, 2020.
Net cash* (cash and cash equivalents less total debt) at September 30, 2020, was $12.6 million, up from net cash of $4.5 million at June 30, 2020
BROOMFIELD, Colo. - October 22, 2020 - DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Consolidated sales were $55.3 million, up 28% sequentially and down 45% versus the third quarter of 2019. The sequential increase reflects improved demand in North America for integrated perforating systems from DynaEnergetics, DMC's oilfield products business. North American sales improved 122% sequentially, and were partially offset by a 27% sequential decline in international sales, which can fluctuate based on order timing. Consolidated third quarter sales also reflect an 8% sequential improvement at NobelClad, DMC's composite metals business. The sales decline versus last year's third quarter reflects the collapse in global oil and gas demand as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Management Commentary
President and CEO Kevin Longe said, "The third quarter brought a stronger-than-expected upturn in North American well completion activity, and DynaEnergetics' customers were able to quickly accelerate operations, in part by deploying our Factory-assembled, Performance-Assured™ DS perforating systems, which are delivered just-in-time to the wellsite. In addition, NobelClad reported better-than-expected order shipments. These factors led to third quarter financial results that exceeded publicly issued guidance.
"Despite the recent improvement in well completion activity, the environment for North America's unconventional oil and gas industry remains challenging, and most operators and service companies are actively streamlining operations and reducing costs. Many also are adopting new well-completion technologies, including DynaEnergetics' integrated DS perforating systems, which require fewer people and less time to arm and deploy, and significantly enhance the safety, performance and reliability of our customers' well-completion programs.
"DynaEnergetics made several additions to its product portfolio during the third quarter, including the DS MicroSet™, a compact, disposable setting tool used to install the plug at the end of each stage in an unconventional oil or gas well. The factory-assembled tool has performed extremely well in field trials with multiple customers. It works seamlessly with our DS perforating systems, and is fully disposable, eliminating the dangerous redressing processes required with most setting tools. DS MicroSet and the new DS Liberator™ ballistic release tool will be commercially available next month.
"DynaEnergetics anticipates fourth quarter demand from North America's unconventional market will be consistent with the third quarter. However, it also expects a seasonal decline in international order volume, which is expected to accelerate again in the first half of 2021."
Longe continued, "During the third quarter, NobelClad booked several orders in the petrochemical sector, as well as the upstream and downstream energy industries. In addition, shipments began on the first major order from the engineered wood industry, which NobelClad expects could become a long-term end market.
"We continue to enhance our financial position, and ended the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $24.6 million, and net cash of $12.6 million.
"Our third quarter performance was achieved in the midst of difficult market conditions that were made more challenging by the global pandemic. I am extremely proud of our employees around the world for their efforts to keep themselves and their co-workers safe, while also delivering on our commitments to our customers."
Michael Kuta, CFO, said fourth quarter 2020 sales are expected in a range of $50 million to $55 million versus the $55.3 million reported in the 2020 third quarter. At the business level, DynaEnergetics is expected to report sales in a range of $30 million to $33 million versus the $34.2 million reported in 2020 third quarter, while NobelClad's sales are expected in a range of $20 million to $22 million versus the $21.1 million reported in the 2020 third quarter.
Consolidated gross margin is expected in a range of 20% to 23% versus 25% in the 2020 third quarter. The anticipated sequential decline reflects an expected seasonal drop in higher-margin international sales at DynaEnergetics, and a less favorable project mix at NobelClad.
Third quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense is expected to be approximately $12 million versus the $11.6 million reported in the 2020 third quarter, while amortization expense is expected to be approximately $370,000. Interest expense is expected in a range of $150,000 to $200,000.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected in a range of $2 million to $4 million versus the $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2020.
Fourth quarter capital expenditures are expected in a range of $2 million to $3 million.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and net cash are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures used by management to measure operating performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of DMC's financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release.
EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance. Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents less total debt. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature adjusted EBITDA measures. Management believes that investors may find this non-GAAP financial measure useful for similar reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. In addition, management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of adjusted EBITDA achieved during relevant periods. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC's credit facility.
Net cash is used by management to supplement GAAP financial information and evaluate DMC's performance, and management believes this information may be similarly useful to investors. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) are presented because management believes these measures are useful to understand the effects of restructuring and impairment charges on DMC's operating income (loss) and net income (loss), respectively.
Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company's performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company's capital structure on its performance.
All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based compensation) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing DMC's operating performance (e.g., income taxes, restructuring and impairment charges). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company's operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect DMC's ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating performance without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.

The Men Who Lost Singapore, 1938-1942
By Ronald McCrum
New Book on The Men Who Lost Singapore (The Straits Times, 14 February 2017)
eBook available at:
The British military failure against the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1942 is a well-documented and closely examined episode. While attention is frequently drawn to the role of the Colonial Governor and his staff during this period, the participation of the civil authorities has not been subjected to the same rigorous scrutiny.
In this book, Ronald McCrum undertakes a close examination of the role and the responsibilities of the colonial authorities both in the lead-up to the war and during it. He contends that the colonial government, by pursuing different priorities, needlessly created distraction and confusion. Additionally, the poor, even hostile, relations that developed between the local government and the British military hierarchy impeded a joint approach to the growing threat and affected the course of this campaign. McCrum displays how the tawdry management of civil defence matters led to unnecessary loss of civilian life.
"Considering how much has been written about this campaign, and for how long, the outcome is impressive: there are fresh considerations and arguments in this very good study that every student of the Malayan Campaign and the Fall of Singapore, not to mention the war between the British Empire and Imperial Japan, will need to engage."
Brian P. Farrell, National University of Singapore
"It is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand why Singapore's fall occurred in the manner it did."
Greg Kennedy, King's College, London
Ronald McCrum is a retired British Army Officer and military historian.

Matt Busby
Next tour: Fri 26 May 2017.
Meet: Visitor Centre, Piccadilly Gardens, 1.30pm.
Bob Paisley won more trophies, Bill Shankly made more noise, Alf was better spoken. But nobody commanded more respect than Matt.
It may have been the calm air of authority he carried around with him or the fact that he got things done. People looked up to him and did according to his bidding.
He was born in 1909 in a mining village in southern Scotland. As an aspiring young footballer Matt Busby was ignored by Celtic, even though he was a Catholic, because he had spoken to Rangers. So he journeyed south to play not for Manchester United but for the two teams that became their greatest rivals: Manchester City and Liverpool.
After the Second World War Matt Busby became Manchester United manager. There he created not one but three brilliant teams, rebuilding the club after the horrors of Munich and making them the first English winners of the European Cup. He also nurtured the greatest of players: George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law. What a trinity, aided and abetted by the remarkable Nobby Stiles, Paddy Crerand, Tony Dunne, Brian Kidd, Shay Brennan…
The Matt Busby tour takes you through the story of the game's greatest manager visiting haunts he would have known: the Midland Hotel (where Bobby Charlton's testimonial dinner was held in 1972), Manchester Town Hall (Busby was in the City team that won the Cup in 1934 and celebrated here) and probably even the Brown Bull on Salford's Chapel Street, haunt of George Best, which Matt refused to name properly, purposely calling it the Green Pig, Black Cow or Brown Horse in admonishing his greatest player.
We will also hear how Manchester United got their name, visit the site where the Football League was founded in 1888 (without any local clubs) and hear why Manchester City were forced to sell all their players in 1905, United gaining the best of their cast-offs. But mostly we will recall the story of the man who made Manchester united.

Traffic – we despise it, we can't stand it and we'll do anything to avoid it. You can catch the morning news before you head out to work, tune in to the traffic updates on the radio – or you can download a traffic application on your smartphone. These apps are here to help you elude bumper-to-bumper driving, accidents and any other annoying traffic hazards. Some of these apps may be better than the rest, but each app has its own advantages, so it's worth trying them out to see which one you like best. Below are a few of the best apps out there to help you evade that pesky traffic.
Waze is more than just a traffic app; Waze is a traffic community. The idea behind Waze is to outsmart traffic by allowing millions of drivers to work together to report traffic jams, police traps, accident reports, cheapest gas prices and more. This free app is "killing" the traffic app game, with over 10, 000 reviews and a four and half star rating. As you continue to use Waze, it picks up on your frequent destinations, commute time and preferred routes, but will always offer alternate routes based on the current traffic conditions. Waze also lets you connect with your Facebook friends, allowing you to interact and coordinate drives. In my opinion, Waze is definitely the number one choice when it comes to free traffic apps.
You might be familiar with TomTom as a GPS, but instead of adding clutter to your car with a separate navigation deice, download, or should I say buy, TomTom for your smartphone. For $50, you can relive all of the magic of this navigation pioneer right on your phone. The app works online and offline, which can save you big money on data charges. A trusted, well-known brand, TomTom won't steer you wrong, as long as if you're willing to spend a few dollars.
There are a number of other traffic apps available for both iOS and Android systems. Alothough non of these apps None truly compare to the functionality and effectiveness of Waze or TomTom, apps like Sigalert.com, INRIX Traffic and Twist all feature bits and pieces of what Waze offers.
INRIX Traffic allows you to look at live camera shots from high traffic areas. It also lists incidents reported around your area, along with the delay time and backup distance.
Sigalert.com has a very cool feature where you can look up any freeways/highways and it will show you the speed of the traffic at each of the exits and cross streets.
Twist allows you to communicate with your friends, family and co-workers, and share your ETA.
SNL said it best: "Google Maps is the best, " so if that's what you're familiar with, keep using it.
My personal choice? Waze. This app has truly has changed the way I drive to and from work. It has allowed me to use quicker, alternative routes, and drastically decreased my commute time. Try some of our suggestions above and see which one you like!
Do you have any other applications that you use to dodge traffic? Share in the comments section below!


10-year-old Zion Harvey underwent surgery to replace both hands in July 2015.
The first child in the world to undergo a double hand transplant is now able to write, feed and dress himself, doctors said Tuesday, declaring the ground-breaking operation a success after 18 months.
The report in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health provides the first official medical update on 10-year-old Zion Harvey, who underwent surgery to replace both hands in July 2015.
"Eighteen months after the surgery, the child is more independent and able to complete day-to-day activities," said Sandra Amaral, a doctor at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where the operation took place.
"He continues to improve as he undergoes daily therapy to increase his hand function, and psychosocial support to help deal with the ongoing demands of his surgery."
Immunosuppressive drugs must be taken continuously to prevent a patient's body from rejecting the transplant. These drugs carry risks, including diabetes, cancer and infections.
The child has "undergone eight rejections of the hands, including serious episodes during the fourth and seventh months of his transplant," said the report.
"All of these were reversed with immunosuppression drugs without impacting the function of the child's hands."
"While functional outcomes are positive and the boy is benefitting from his transplant, this surgery has been very demanding for this child and his family," said Amaral.
Before the double hand transplant, Harvey had "limited ability to dress, feed and wash himself through adapted processes, using his residual limbs or specialist equipment," said the report.
"Regrowth of the nerves meant that he could move the transplanted hand muscles and feel touch within around six months, when he also became able to feed himself and grasp a pen to write," said the report.
"The world's first double hand transplant in a child has been successful under carefully considered circumstances," said the report.


Kypwell is a skincare range inspired by the relaxed lifestyle of Cyprus. Think tranquillity, glorious sushine, clear air, beautiful beaches and their siga siga lifestyle, translated to slowly slowly, think pure serenity. It promises to rejuvenate, balance, purify and protect skin from pollution and free radicals. I had a facial trying out some of these lovely products and they are so lovely on the skin and with such bountiful botanicals and herbs available they also smell so good, a multi-sensory experience with each use. Their Divine Body Oil really is divine and the floral facial mist is infused with geranium, rose and camomile and delivers a refreshing and hydrating fine spray to revive you skin throughout the day.
The ingredients are locally grown, handpicked and organically certified. It's all based on Cyprus' heritage and healing traditions and believes that well-being comes from nurturing three elements of life – Spirit, Soul and Body – and putting family, friends and health first for a more balanced life. In Cyprus, they even have their own well-being club, a destination for anyone seeking a more balanced life.
They call it slow beauty and you can see why in the way the Cypriot lifestyle has inspired it. Kypwell are also all about giving back, so 10% of their profits go to local social projects.

The idea of saving money and investing it is ingrained in the Indian society. As children, we all remember going to a nationalized bank with our parents/ grandparents for renewal of fixed deposits or withdrawing the interest earned. As years went by, the avenues of investment underwent a change. Investments such as equity, real estate and mutual funds soon became household terms.
Imagine there is a group of 10 people (investors) that you may or may not know who all have to invest their savings. Fortunately, all of you have the same objective of say, long-term wealth creation by investing in the stock market. You find a guy who is an expert at investing the money based on your objective. You each transfer the money to a common pool. The expert starts investing this money and any gains/losses accrued on the investments are split pro rata amongst the group based on the amount you put in.
Mutual funds are a mechanism where people can pool in their money, which is then invested based on a stated objective. Moreover, they are centrally regulated by a government-attached body in order to eliminate any fraud related risks. They are also extremely tax efficient and are managed by the biggest names in the financial services industry.
These schemes work with an objective of generating wealth in the long-term. Apt for goal based investments like marriage, retirement or children's education.
These schemes work with an objective of generating regular income without taking too many risks with the capital. Such schemes usually invest in debentures, bonds and other fixed-income options.
These schemes work with an objective of improving regular income/ generating wealth without compromising the liquidity of the funds. These are typically short-term investments made in treasury bills, commercial papers and other similar instruments.
These schemes work with an objective of allowing investors to benefit from the tax deduction offered by the Government under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The investments are made in equities and have an element of higher risk associated with them.
These schemes work with an objective of ensuring maximum safety of the capital invested. The funds are invested in a balanced manner between equity and debt to ensure that at any stage, the capital is not at risk.
These schemes work with an objective of generating steady returns over a fixed period of time and safeguard the investors from market volatility. The investments are made in money market and debt instruments.
These schemes work with an objective of providing regular income after retirement. The investment is made in equities and debt instruments to ensure that the corpus keeps growing while providing a regular income.
Mutual fund schemes can also be classified based on the structure – the way investments are accepted from investors.
These schemes allow buying and selling of units from the fund house at prevailing market rate (Net Asset Value or NAV) on all trading days. Also, there is no restriction on the number of shares that the fund can issue. These are the most common type of schemes available.
These schemes allow buying of units from the fund house only during the New Fund Offer (NFO) period and have a pre-specified maturity period.
These schemes are a combination of open and close-ended schemes. Units of such schemes purchased or redeemed at time intervals pre-determined by the fund house.
Equity schemes – These schemes invest in equity or stocks or shares. There are many variants available under these schemes Blue Chip schemes, Small Cap schemes and so on. As compared to other schemes, they carry greater risk.
These schemes invest in debt instruments like government securities, company debentures and so on. Moreover, they offer fixed returns and are therefore considered safer than the equity schemes.
These schemes invest in treasury bills, commercial papers, etc. They endeavour to offer quick liquidity, capital preservation and average income.
These schemes offer varying proportions of equity and debt investments to cater to different preferences of investors. Depending on the mix, the returns and risks are managed.
These schemes focus on a particular sector as defined in the investment objective of the scheme. For IT schemes, infrastructure schemes, etc.
These schemes invest in shares that mirror the performance of a certain index like a BSE or NSE, etc.
These schemes invest in global markets by adding international exposure to the investor's portfolio.
These funds invest in schemes of other mutual funds. These can be equity, debt or hybrid as specified in the investment objective of the fund.
These funds are a mix of open and close-ended funds and are traded on the stock exchange.
Apart from the ones listed above, there are emerging market funds, real estate funds, commodity-focused stock funds, market neutral funds, inverse funds, gift funds and many more.
These schemes invest in securities like equities that have a higher element of risk associated with them. They endeavour to provide an opportunity to earn high returns and generate wealth.
These schemes invest in debt market instruments like government securities which have a minimal risk to the invested capital. They strive to protect the capital and offer relatively lower returns.
These schemes try to find the right balance between the high and low-risk approaches and endeavour to offer good returns with an average amount of calculated risk.

The shelter does not disclose updates to me after the dogs are no longer in their care. Please contact them for any INFORMATION and/or UPDATES. Adoptions have to be made in person. Potential adopters have to bring their other dogs (if any) for a meet and greet. Im only a net-worker therefore, i do not have pulling rights. I name the dogs for personal references, the shelter doesn't know those names so always make sure to ask for a dog by their control number not by their name to avoid confusion.

LimeWire er et gratis program til fildeling, der distribueres som open source under licensen GNU General Public License. Programmet giver dets brugere adgang til at dele filer ved brug af Gnutella peer-to-peer protokollen. Det var det første fildelingsprogram, som understøttede firewall-til-firewall overførsel (fra version 4.2, frigivet i november 2004).

Udvikleren af LimeWire er firmaet Lime Wire LLC, der også distribuerer en udvidet version af programmet, som siges at tilbyde hurtigere filoverførsel, og som kan erhverves mod betaling af en mindre licensafgift.

LimeWire er skrevet i Java og kan derfor afvikles på alle computere, der har installeret Java virtuel maskine (JVM). Der findes installationsprogrammer til installation under Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X og Linux (i RPM- og DEB-format). Understøttelse af de "klassiske" Mac-operativsystemer (Mac OS 9 og tidligere) er ophørt fra version 4.0.10. Windows-versionen af LimeWires installationsprogram inkluderer en begrænset version af Sun's Java installationsprogram og installerer Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5, hvis computeren ikke har Java eller har en ældre version.

LimeWire bruger SHA-1 og den kryptografiske hashfunktion Tiger tree hash til sikring af, at data er overført korrekt. Der er identificeret mulige sårbare punkter i SHA-1 algoritmen, men da LimeWire ikke kun baserer sig på denne, betyder disse sårbarheder meget lidt for verifikationen af de downloadede filer.

Før april 2004 indeholdt den gratis version af LimeWire en programdel ved navn LimeShop, som eksperter i edb-sikkerhed klassificerede som spyware. LimeShop overvågede bl.a. eventuelle on-line køb for at kunne sikre Lime Wire LLC en salgsprovision, og afinstallation af LimeWire fjernede ikke LimeShop. LimeShop og andre bundlede programmer blev fjernet fra LimeWire ved version 4.0.

Eftersom programmet er open source, er flere andre løsninger blevet baseret på det, herunder LionShare, der er et eksperimentelt programudviklingsprojekt ved Penn State University, og Acquisition, der er en populær Gnutella-klient (med et proprietært interface) til Apple Macintosh.

Avisen The New York Times rapporterede i maj 2005, at Lime Wire LLC overvejede at stoppe distributionen af LimeWire som følge af en dom i USAs højesteret (sagen MGM v. Grokster), der vedrørte markedsføring af et fildelingsprogram, som kunne benyttes til at downloade  ophavsretligt beskyttede værker som film, computerspil og musik. LimeWire har dog i august 2005 udsendt version 4.9 af programmet med bedre søgning, optimeret download og andre features. Den 25. september 2005 rapporteredes det, at man arbejdede på en version af programmet, som vil nægte deling af filer, som ikke har gyldig licensinformation.

En rapport  fra 12. oktober fortæller, at nogle af LimeWires udviklere har  lavet en aflægger af projektet ved navn FrostWire. Dette projekt findes i en foreløbig udgave (beta release), som hævdes at have samme funktionalitet som den licensbelagte version af LimeWire. FrostWire udviklerne har understreget, at de aldrig vil indføre ophavsretsrelaterede restriktioner på programmets fildelingsfunktioner.

Det er ikke ulovligt at have eller bruge programmet, men at downloade ophavsret-beskyttede filer er derimod imod den danske straffelov §558c og kan medføre en bøde på op til 750 kr. pr. fil afhængig af størrelsen.
