My husband and I employed Wiklém Design to renovate and decorate our home. This included a complete renovation of the kitchen and bathrooms and numerous upgrades throughout, including the addition of built-ins, renovation of the fireplace, and the replacement of wallpaper, carpeting, window coverings, light fixtures, and hardware. We also furnished most of the home. Wiklém hired and coordinated all the contractors. We were extremely pleased with the results of Wiklém Design's work. They were extremely professional and readily accommodated our design preferences. Though we had to sell the home sooner than originally planned, due to unanticipated changes, the home showed extremely well and we were able to recoup all of our expenses in the sale. We would highly recommend Wiklém Design.

Democratic Party Fraud
Bernie Sanders got burned by the DNC, Ron Paul by the RNC. Albert Teich/Shutterstock Christopher Halloran/Shutterstock
Brian Saady
The mainstream media—perhaps not surprisingly—is virtually ignoring three pending lawsuits against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Commission on Presidential Debates, all of which cast a glaring light on the bald corruption eating away at the current political process. But they should not be ignored. More than just footnotes to the tumultuous 2016 election, these are legal battles that could have broader implications on third-party and independent political movements in U.S. elections going forward.
Thanks to disclosures from WikiLeaks, it became obvious late last year that the Democratic National Committee privately colluded to block Bernie Sanders from winning the presidential nomination. These were damning exposures that eventually cost then-DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz her job. The worst of course, was the revelation that former DNC chair, Donna Brazile, secretly provided Hillary Clinton with the topics ahead of CNN's televised debates.
A group of Bernie Sanders supporters who made contributions to the DNC responded in kind. They filed a class-action lawsuit last year in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Represented by a Miami-based firm, Beck & Lee Trial Lawyers, the plaintiffs' allegations in this case, Carol Wilding et al. v. DNC Services Corp. include fraud, impartiality, and collusion.
The DNC hasn't denied most of the allegations. The current DNC chair, Tom Perez, even admitted in February that the primaries were rigged against Bernie Sanders. He said, "We heard loudly and clearly yesterday from Bernie supporters that the process was rigged, and it was. And you've got to be honest about it. That's why we need a chair who is transparent." Predictably, Perez recanted his statement hours later.
It's remarkable that the DNC fraud case has essentially been ignored by most major media outlets because it has been an unbelievably newsworthy event. Case in point: the Democratic Party has argued in court against the core values of its name; the Democratic Party has thumbed its nose at the democratic process. To be specific, Jordan Chariton of the TYT Networkreported that a DNC lawyer stated in court, "We could have voluntarily decided that, 'Look, we're gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way'" — because it was in their legal right to do so.
Although this story has been largely ignored, it hasn't come from a lack of effort from the lead attorneys for the plaintiffs, Jared and Elizabeth Beck. They've been interviewed by numerous sources in the alternative media world, and as a result, they've raised a tremendous amount of grassroots interest. There is a Facebook page with over 58,000 followers that is dedicated solely to this case.
Then again, it's easy for the casual observer to cast this aside because, at the superficial level, it looks like sour grapes. But there's a lot at stake for future elections, particularly for anti-establishment candidates who ever want a fair shake on either side of the aisle. The attorneys for the Sanders group are merely making a case that the DNC has a fiduciary duty to uphold the democratic process. The same goes for Republicans, since we all know how they treated former Rep. Ron Paul during his unsuccessful runs for the GOP nomination in 2008 and 2012.
In his case, the bitter reality of partisan collusion was evident even without a WikiLeaks email dump. The Republican National Committee opposed Ron Paul's nomination both cycles. It was all out in the open. For example, Bill Crocker of the RNC sent out this mass email in 2012:
"Please plan to attend the SD [Senate District] conventions next Saturday and bring all your friends. We need to be sure we are not overwhelmed by the Ron Paul people, who still want to send a list of all Ron Paul people to the state convention."
There were also controversies with allegations of voter fraud in multiple state caucuses. In fact, Mitt Romney actually admitted that the party committed underhanded acts to give him the nomination. In the documentary film, Mitt, he relayed what someone from the RNC leadership told him:
"In some ways, we kind of had to steal the Republican nomination. Our party is Southern, evangelical and populist. And you're Northern, and you're Mormon, and you're rich. And these do not match well with our party."
It's also worth noting that the RNC shot themselves in the foot by interfering with the democratic process. In 2008 Ron Paul seemed well-positioned to generate a Republican wave against Obama. While his libertarian, anti-war positions repelled the GOP establishment, he was bolstered by a grassroots swell of passionate support from youthful, tech-savvy voters poised to influence left-of-center independents and even disillusioned Democrats. Much like Bernie Sanders was doing for progressives and independents in 2016.
Getting left out of the debates
That leads to the other pending litigation affecting independent, third-party politics and the election process as a whole. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party, Jill Stein, and the Green Party are currently fighting the Commission on Presidential Debates in court. This group has two separate lawsuits, Level the Playing Field v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) and Johnson v. Commission on Presidential Debates.
The FEC has faced these kinds of lawsuits every election cycle since the Commission on Presidential Debates was formed in 1987. However, this is the first time when such a lawsuit has been juxtaposed with something like the DNC Fraud case.
The lawsuits against the DNC and Commission on Presidential Debates are indirectly connected because candidates such as Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders have essentially been forced to run within the two-party system. In other words, if independent candidates can't get a fair shot within the two-party system, then there need to be fair opportunities for third-party candidates. Simply put, there are too many unreasonable barriers against third-party candidates, in particular, the Commission on Presidential Debates.
These lawsuits contest that the 15 percent polling requirement by the Commission on Presidential Debates isn't a reasonable threshold. They're absolutely right. If a third-party candidate couldn't reach 15 percent during this election, then it is an indicator that the barriers to entry are nearly insurmountable. After all, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were the most unfavorable candidates in American history. Also, a record-high 43 percent of Americans identified themselves as independents during this election cycle.
A strict polling requirement is also a poor metric for eligibility because many of the polls used simply don't include the third-party candidates. Secondly, only independently wealthy candidates, such as Ross Perot, can pay for enough advertising to reach the 15 percent figure before the debates take place.
Perot spent $63.5 million of his own money to finance his campaign in 1992. However, that amount of money is only a drop in the bucket now that campaign financing has exploded to the tune of $1.5 billion in the last presidential election. That's over six times the figure from 1992. With that in mind, it makes the message of Gary Johnson's campaign more impressive considering that he polled as high as 13 percent in September with only $11.6 million in donations.
Whether you voted for Gary Johnson or didn't support him in any way, his candidacy was an important one for democracy. Third-party candidates haven't had much success on Election Day, but our country benefits from the presence of third-party candidates as they often pressure the main party candidates to modify their stances on various issues.
Of course there need to be barriers to entry, albeit more reasonable ones. Otherwise, the debate stage could be filled with politicians only seeking their 15 minutes of fame. The plaintiffs in this case believe that a candidate should be able to debate if he or she is on enough ballots to win the Electoral College. With that suggested criteria, the presidential debates would have included Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein. The same requirements would have enabled Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan to debate in 2000.
All that said, these lawsuits, even the one against the DNC, are longshots. Ultimately, the courts are unlikely to curb corruption within the two major parties. However, with enough public pressure, the Commission on Presidential Debates could be dissolved or forced to reform its ways. In the end, we all benefit from more competition in the political process.

How many sacrifices will farmers have to make to get agri laws repealed, asks Rahul Gandhi
At least five rounds of formal talks have taken place between the Centre and representatives of farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, protesting on various borders of the national capital for over two weeks, but the deadlock has continued with the unions sticking to their main demand for the repeal of the three contentious laws.
Enacted in September, the three farm laws have been projected by the government as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove the middlemen and allow farmers to sell anywhere in the country.(HT File Photo)
Hindustan Times, New Delhi | ByPress Trust of India| Posted by Susmita Pakrasi
The Congress on Saturday cited a media report to claim that 11 farmers had died in the last 17 days while protesting against the new agri laws, with former party chief Rahul Gandhi asking how many more sacrifices will farmers have to make to get the legislations repealed.
"How many more sacrifices will the farmers have to make to get the agri laws repealed?" Gandhi asked in a tweet in Hindi, tagging a media report which claimed that 11 protesting farmers had lost their lives in the last 17 days due to various reasons such as ill health or a mishap.
Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that despite the "martyrdom of 11 farmer brothers in the last 17 days, the Modi government is not relenting".
"They (government) are still standing with their 'money providers' not with 'annadaatas' (food providers)," he alleged in a tweet in Hindi.
"The country wants to know -- 'Is Rajdharma (constitutional responsibility) bigger or Rajhat' (stubbornness)?" Surjewala asked, tagging the media report that Gandhi also cited.
Farmers are protesting the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020.
Enacted in September, the three farm laws have been projected by the government as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove the middlemen and allow farmers to sell anywhere in the country.
However, the protesting farmers have expressed apprehension that the new laws would pave the way for eliminating the safety cushion of Minimum Support Price and do away with the mandis, leaving them at the mercy of big corporates.

We could not stand in Khunwane's way – Mogomotsi
Latest News, Slider, Sports
Mochudi Centre Chiefs has confirmed that they failed to convince Thabiso Khunwane to sign a contract extension because the player no longer wanted to stay at the club. Khunwane joined Magosi's rivals, Gaborone United last week on a free transfer.
Magosi's Public Relations Officer, Clifford Mogomotsi, informed Gazette Sport that they respect the player's decision to leave, "He informed us that he no longer wanted to play for the club. We cannot say we did not do enough to keep him because it is wrong to keep a player against his will. We could not stand in his way, if a player feels he can progress elsewhere we have to respect his decision. He was a great servant, he represented us well and we hope he will continue to prosper," Mogomotsi stated.
Meanwhile, local pundits believe that Chiefs should have sold the player during the January transfer window rather than let GU capitalize on their failure to retain his services.
Khunwane is expected to wear the number 16 shirt at GU next season and this reporter is reliably informed that the defender initially wanted the number 6 jersey but the club has retired the number as a tribute to the late Joseph 'Big Joe' Phuthego.

FAIRPORT CONVENTION – What We Did On Our Saturday (Matty Grooves MG2CD055)
If you've ever been to a Cropredy Festival you'll know exactly what they do on Saturday. They gather together a bunch of former band-mates and old friends and play a mammoth set long into the darkness (subject to health and safety restrictions, of course). These days, Fairport Convention don't need an excuse to mount a celebration but 2017 marked the band's fiftieth anniversary and so this was the perfect opportunity to tell the band's story in music – although not strictly in the right order. Thus we have What We Did On Our Saturday, packaged in an homage to their second album.
The album begins with their first album and (almost) their first line-up. For younger readers that was Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews and Judy Dyble now with Dave Mattacks on drums. They kick off with 'Time Will Show The Wiser' and 'Reno Nevada' and I was impressed at the way Richard played the sort of guitar lead appropriate to 1967. He couldn't help himself, of course, and went off on one but I don't suppose that anyone complained.
Chris While took over on lead vocals for 'Suzanne', a slightly less off-the-wall arrangement than the original. Chris does a very good Sandy Denny particularly on the rockier numbers but she's her own woman and the grace notes and decorations are all her own. Judy and Iain get time off and the others take it in turns so the current line-up doesn't actually appear until 'Crazy Man Michael' when Gerry Conway briefly wrestles the drum stool away from DM. The remainder of the first disc is taken up with selections from Liege & Lief and Full House and they keep 'Sloth' to under ten minutes.
The second disc opens with 'Now Be Thankful', a song which Chris Leslie is rapidly making his own, even though Richard elbows him off the mic on this occasion. It's worth noting that Chris doesn't get a break after the third track until the Fotheringay homage of 'Ned Kelly' and 'Rising For The Moon' which feature Sally Barker and PJ Wright and introduce Maartin Allcock to the stage. The latter is a feature of the revamped Fotheringay's set but sadly, of course, Jerry Donahue isn't available. I have to say, in passing, that Simon does a wonderful job with 'Fotheringay'. Maart gets to lead 'A Surfeit Of Lampreys' and Ralph McTell takes centre stage for 'White Dress' but Simon keeps 'The Hiring Fair' for himself.
There is only one song that originates with the current line-up and that's Chris Leslie's 'Our Bus Rolls On' and now we're on the downhill run. You know how it ends: 'Matty Groves' – with both drummers – and 'Meet On The Ledge' with everyone back on stage.
As you might imagine, I own a lot of Cropredy recordings and all have their own attractions. For me the 25th anniversary set stands out while the earlier ones: A.T.2 and The Boot have the particular ramshackle charm that we used to associate with Fairport Convention thirty-odd years ago. What We Did On Our Saturday is tight and slick without much in the way of stage chatter – an appropriately serious set to go with such a milestone in Fairport's history. Exemplary performances as we've come to expect, of course, but sometimes I do miss Simon playing rhythm viola!

Sally Barker and Vicki Genfan – debut duo album
This album was brought to life by the friendship between singer-songwriters Sally Barker (UK) and Vicki Genfan (USA) that spans the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Fifteen years into their friendship, these troubadours and roving minstrels have prepared a special collection of newly penned original songs. The project germinated over five days in the sweltering heat of a North Carolina Summer in a cabin in the shadow of Pilot Mountain at the foot of the Appalachians, was tended to during Autumn transatlantic song-writing sessions via Skype and successfully bloomed in a New Jersey in January as the snow drifts settled, knee deep, at the recording studio door. The resultant record In The Shadow Of A Small Mountain is a product of the modern age yet tells stories from both sides of the Atlantic with flavours of the American south infusing tales of a very British sort. Both sing and play acoustic guitar while Vicki also plays electric guitars, manditar, banjo-tar, bass & percussion. The only guest appearances are John Mettam playing drums on 'Something Blue', Finn Magill (low whistle and vocals) and (from Malawi, Africa) Peter Mawanga (nsansi & chisekese & vocals) on the song 'Malaya' (recorded by a mobile recording studio in a car park at Swannanoa Gathering at midnight!).
Sally, founder member of the Poozies, has released seven solo albums and toured consistently supporting artists such as Bob Dylan and Robert Plant until the death of her husband in 2003 after which she performed sporadically. She re-emerged on prime time TV show The Voice UK 2014 on which she was Sir Tom Jones' finalist. Rejecting the offer of a deal from Island Records (quick cash-in covers album) she has continued to plough her own furrow with the release of her latest album Ghost Girl in February 2017.
Vicki holds the title of 2008 'Guitar Superstar' having won the Guitar Player Magazine's annual competition in front of celebrity judges Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Elliot Easton. She has released 4 solo albums, five instructional DVDs and tours throughout the US and internationally where she has supported artists such as David Crosby, David Wilcox and Larry Carlton.

CROPREDY 2017 – Campie's Highlights Of An Amazing Few Days
All photographs by Jean Camp
Last year I was a Cropredy virgin, but this year on THAT field in August, I knew what the score was. Well, until I tried to do the camping and putting up the tent thing! Every year will bring new things I guess!
Arriving at the Folkmaster's abode on Wednesday 9th August, things were in full swing for the journey to meet the other Folkingdotcommers in Tesco car park, on the outskirts of Banbury, early the following morning. The kitchen sink was being loaded into the Folkmaster's car in an orderly fashion, and it was suggested that if I hadn't bought wellies with me, that I should go out and buy some. Talk about the 11th hour, I found a store and paid for them at 5.29pm when the store closed at 5.30! I was a bit anxious at this point as surely it wasn't going to rain? I don't do wet camping, I don't do camping generally!
Sparrow spit early Thursday morning came, and off we went to Banbury. Not a bad journey, although I slept most of it! (NO – I wasn't driving)! We all arrived at mostly the same time, Paul, Jonny Mac, No Chance and ourselves were too early for breakfast, so spent some money in Tesco, before we had breakfast. Full English were ordered by all but 2 of us, and then off we set, into the midst of Cropredy bound Festival goers. All wanting to get the best fields and parking. Last year I remember the queues, but this year was plain sailing. We soon found out why, because loads of others had started out before us, so we should have forgone breakfast! We were shepherded in to Field 7B, ended up right in the middle of the field, miles away from the few loos and the even fewer showers. I was panicking already!
Tent time. Paul was in his van, so all he had to do was connect his awning. Few minutes and he was ready. No Chance had a smaller tent and he knew what he was doing, Folkmaster had a new tent which was an air based one, so he got his instructions out and sorted his out, Johnny Mac was ably putting his tent up, and there was little old me, with a new tent. Poles and all.
I tried, dear readers, I really did. The lads were brilliant though, and thank them all for it. It was suggested I wore my new wellies, as mud could well be present, due to the onslaught of rain in the days leading up to the Festival. Visions of Glastonbury encroached in my mind……
We were a bit early when finished, as we couldn't get into the arena field until 2pm, so were twiddling our thumbs for a while. The usual banter flowed. We were expecting another member of the Folking team – Paul Johnson – but he was nowhere to be seen or heard, so we did the Chariots Of Fire walk with our chairs and bags and waited for the gates to open. On the way there, we were serenaded by medieval musicians, Myal Pyper, who were a delight to listen to.
We finally got in, and headed for our usual spot. Looking at the Stage we headed left, near Leon's food stall, always a lovely experience to savour their food. The queue for Fairport merchandise was already growing rapidly and that did not stop all day and evening. The staff in that tent were heroes! It was the same the following day!
4pm finally arrived and Fairport Acoustic opened the Festival. Riotous applause from the crowd, a full packed arena, for the Thursday is not what usually happens apparently. A mostly cracking line up and one that I didn't want to miss. Feast Of Fiddles came next featuring an array of the best fiddle musicians this country has produced, such as Peter Knight of Gigspanner, Hugh Crabtree – melodeon player with attitude, Garry Blakeley, Tom Leary, Ian Cutler, Brian O'Neill and Fairport's own superb fiddler – Chris Leslie. Phil Beer, Marion Fleetwood and Sophie Crabtree came on later on in the set to enhance the line-up, totalling nine fiddle players! Legendary drummer Dave Mattocks was over from America, Martin Vincent and Dave Harding on guitars and Alan Whetton on sax and keyboards. Awesome!
Show of Hands next – favourites of mine, they played an absolutely blinding set. Highlight was their rendition of Don Henley's classic – 'Boys Of Summer'. The whole field was talking about how fab it was.
Chris While guested for 'Dark Fields' and it was indeed a lovely occasion to witness her singing on this again. Phil told us that he will be virtually taking next summer off to revive his Folkboat activities, which is why this year they have so many festivals booked and Steve will be doing solo work next summer. Really enjoyed the whole set.
Eventually we met up with our lost team mate – Paul Johnson – who had had a nightmare putting up his tent apparently, and his mobility scooter had a flat battery. Could only happen to Paul!
Next up – The Trevor Horn Band – consisting of three producers – Trevor Horn, Steve Lipson and Lol Crème (of Godley & Crème) who had played and or produced songs for other artists. A kind of covers set but all perfectly connected to these three fine producers. They sounded good too. They got the crowd going and singing along to numbers we all knew, such as 'Two Tribes', 'Relax,' 'Video Killed The Radio Star', 'Rubber Bullets' etc. They have over 200 hit singles and albums to choose from and it was very pleasant and lively set. Nice mix.
Headliners for Thursday evening were The Divine Comedy. Frontman Neil Hannon came on and his first sentence had the 'f' word in it. He seemed star struck initially about the big crowd and following Trevor Horn and Lol Crème. He didn't do it for me but I hear that they went down well with some people.
Friday came and rain was forecast. Oh no!! Kick off was at midday after the gates being opened at 11am for the festival goers.
Paul Johnson tests the folking digital interview recorder on Paul Miles, the original co-founder of folking.com – its quite funny so we have kept it in…

Josie Duncan & Pablo LaFuente (2017 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Winners) opened up the proceedings and I could see why they had won this accolade. Scottish traditional, Gaelic, and other influences, songs from the mines and cotton mills. They have played some well-known festivals including Cambridge and in their short time together, are certainly making a mark for themselves.
Another favourite of mine – Gerry Colvin Band – delighted the crowd, for those that were aware of his music and for those that didn't. A cracking set from Gerry and the Band. Gerry is a delight to watch and although is so hyper, can sing, play and write a fab song. Particularly 'Watching Feathers Fall' from his Colvin/Quarmby days. Nick Quarmby, Gerry's sidekick who left us last year, would have been so proud of Gerry taking centre stage at Cropredy. Gerry gained a lot of fans during that set.
A Cropredy moment for me was asking Gerry later, as I came across him backstage, how he felt and could obviously tell he was ecstatically happy, he said he had met Pet Clark. She spoke to him and said get out of her dressing room. I'm sure he was joking, he usually is!!
Quill were a new name to me. Quite Gothic and I thought the lead singer Joy had a little Kate Bush about her. They have been going since the 70's, have loyal audiences, and are amazing story-tellers. Really enjoyed them.
Darren Beech and Paul Johnson caught up with Joy from Quill shortly after the set. The Elephant in the Room EP that Joy discusses in the interview will be released on the 23rd of August.

Next up Gigspanner, who a lot of folks were waiting to see (especially the folkmaster, the editor Dai Jeffries and Paul Johnson who are huge fans). While I admire their immense talent, I am not a huge fan myself, but respect that Peter Knight and the Big Band are all superb musicians. They are a little too trad for me.
CC Smugglers were another new one on me, and were superb, in my eyes. The effervescence of the lead singer was palpable and infectious. His shirt was wet through by the time he finished. The rain had arrived by this time but didn't dampen theirs or the audience's spirits. CC Smugglers are a band of buskers, who had come together, to form this band. They have even performed at Glastonbury! Definitely ones to watch.
Darren Beech and Paul Johnson caught up with Chris on the Friday.

The absolutely brilliant Pierce Brothers twins came on to a stunning welcome. They were so happy to be there and in tears of happiness! Great guys, great musicians, great energy and great stage presence. So glad the organisers brought them back after last year's success. Something that is rarely done two years on the trot. I hope they make it third time lucky.
The amazing event of having Petula Clark attend her first festival ever at Cropredy was certainly a scoop. A favourite of my mothers, she would have loved it. Pet at 84 years of age looked and danced as though she was in her 50's. She sounded great. She performed her hits pitch perfect and aired some numbers from her new album – From Now On, Awesome. She had the crowd eating out of her hand, and they all sang along. A very special moment. Pet did say at the end of her set that she had enjoyed it immensely, and she certainly seemed to have done so, from the audience's point of view.
Headliner for Friday evening was the Folk Rock Legend Richard Thompson OBE. A co-founder of Fairport in the 60's he helped pioneer British Folk Rock. He is known as one of the world's most critically acclaimed and prolific songwriters. He didn't disappoint. Just amazing. You would have thought four guitarists were on the stage and it was only him, doing it all. His fingers were a blur as he worked so fast. I had the pleasure of meeting Richard at the signing his new album – Acoustic Classic 2, and he was very quiet and unassuming, and lovely to talk to. No ego at all.
I will say at this point that compere for the weekend was Anthony John Clarke, who did a marvellous job of introducing artists and keeping dedications flowing and read them out to the audience. Excellent choice for an MC.
Richard Digance was missed from his usual spot on kicking off proceedings on the Saturday, but he sent a message to say he was busy touring and not to forget his album and books in the merchandise tent. When he came on to the big screens, the audience applauded him, even though it was a pre-recorded message. Lovely.
Richard's slot was taken by the Ashley Hutchings Morris On Band, who did a marvellous job of performing some classics from the Morris On album, and we had Morris Dancers dancing on stage to complete the scene. Hankies were at the ready and the audience took part in what is usually Richard Digance's attempt at getting the whole crowd to wave hankies Morris style! A superb sight to see.
Next up ex-Fairport member Judy Dyble and the Band Of Perfect Strangers who took us on a musical journey, ending with her promoting her autobiography – An Accidental Musician – published last year.
Plainsong included another ex-Fairport Member – Iain Matthews and was formed 45 years ago. A very pleasant set, and Iain obviously has his fans.
I then went to try and find a shower, hopefully no queues at this time, so sadly I missed most of the Cats In Space set. I could hear them from afar, but they were visual, and glad I could see even a short bit. Surprisingly only formed last year, they were a tight knit of pop rock genre. All six of them. I enjoyed what I saw. Blew a few cobwebs away!
Marillion followed. Not my cup of tea, but they clearly had their fans there, and were enjoyed by them.
Scottish multi award winning singer-songwriter Dougie McLean OBE followed. He has a global following. I hadn't seen him before, and certainly did enjoy his set. Full of stories and song, and lots of audience participation. Particularly on his 'Caledonia', which has a high regard in Scotland. He also has a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Superb.
Now was the time for the BIG set!!! Three hours of Fairport and friends. And what a gift to us!!
Difficult to put this all into words as to how the atmosphere of what it was. You just had to be there. Fairport's Golden Anniversary and an extremely emotional crowd.
Their guests came on during the course of the evening. The wonderful Chris While who picked up the vocal batton for Come All Ye, The Deserter, Tam Lin and Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Richard Thompson came back into the set after the early years stint for Walk Awhile, Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman, Sloth, Now Be Thankful and Sir Patrick Spens. As did Judy Dyble for I Don't Know Where I Stand and Iain Matthews for Time Will Show The Wiser, Reno Nevada and Suzanne in the early years opening piece. Ralph McTell sang us a version of 'White Dress' which was the song Dave Swarbrick wrote for Sandy Denny. That was Ralph's only contribution, which was a shame as he is a great favourite of the Cropredy crowd. All the Folking Team gave a big cheer and Paul Miles kept saying I love him, I love him I don't know how many times, bless him! Don't we all!
Former Fairport member Maartin Allcock dazzled us with A Surfeit of Lampreys and Jewel in the Crown with his playing and that electric blue suit . He looked very dapper. We had Sally Barker who also sang 'Rising For The Moon', Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks joining Gerry Conway on drums and percussion. Such a wealth of talent, emotion and music was enjoyed by all. The finale of 'Meet On The Ledge' had the audience spilling tears all over the now dry grass.
You came, we saw, and you conquered Fairport and all. Congratulations on your Golden Anniversary can't wait for next year for the start of a new decade.

ANDY GRIFFITHS – Big Red Monster (Musician Records MR011)
The Big Red Monster of the title is probably the rusting old tractor on the back cover but even Andy Griffiths isn't quite sure. This is Andy's third album of original songs, gentle and thoughtful with the laid-back support of a fine group of musicians including Rick Foot, Natasha Pattinson, Glen Hughes, John Budgen and Sally Barker.
The opening song, 'Yesterday When', is an exercise in nostalgia of the sort that every songwriter essays at some time, nice but undemanding. However, Andy quickly picks up the power with 'The Liquorice Field', a story of the young farm-hand and the girl from the big house. I set out looking for the history of liquorice growing in Britain, hoping that the fenlands from which Andy hails were its source, only to find that it hasn't been grown commercially here for over a century and, as the song implies, only in Yorkshire. The reference to liquorice, however, gives the song a unique twist.
Nostalgia returns with 'Lighthouse Keeper' and 'Tyneham Valley', the memories of a young child displaced during the last war when the village was taken over by the army – another excellent song. My favourite track is probably 'Any Day Now' if only for its opening line: "I can't remember getting arrested". I suspect that it's largely metaphorical but I'm not sure. Then again, 'Sake Of My Heart' is a description of alcoholism filled with clever wordplay and an air of mystery which, on reflection, is the best writing. Actually, Andy is adept at the art of oblique writing – I'll figure out 'Occasional Tables' one day.
Twice through and I'm really getting into Big Red Monster. It's beautifully played and there is something haunting in these songs that draws the listener back.

SALLY BARKER – Ghost Girl (Old Dog Records 017)
The title track is a new recording of the song she wrote for 2015 Poozies album, Into The Well, featuring real rather than electric piano, given a softer feel and with Tom Bull on double bass, Sally Barker's follow-up to Maid In England, the 2014 album on the back of her appearances on The Voice, is woven around a theme of abandonment and putting your heart back together.
One of the first reactions to being dumped is want retribution, and smoke-wisped jazzy blues opening track 'Emperor Of Cool' taps into the narrator's embittered feelings towards the ex who cruelly tells her, "the harmony to all of your songs" he only dated her for a bet, sharing his less attractive attributes with whoever she meets.
Realisation of being broken arrives with the early Dylan influences of 'I'm Not Whole', the acoustic guitar riff behind the piano written and played by her son, its lyrics built around imagery of the sea and being washed up on the shore. Delivered against a steady acoustic guitar pulse and streaked by pedal steel, 'Like Sugar' offers a different spin, a woman lonely while her soldier husband is away at war being courted by a local chancer bringing food and stockings and offering to help with a little DIY.
Picking up the 'Ghost Girl' imagery and running with it, 'Vampire of Love', featuring Sally on piano and guitar, is a slow dance romancer with a 30s styled waltzing chorus that, set in Victorian England, draws on the dangerous sexuality embodied in the Dracula-inspired seducer.
The mood shifts again for the 60s R&B sultry groove of 'Hand of Fate', apparently written for Tom Jones and inspired by the offer of major label deal following The Voice, one which, perhaps wisely, she declined. Bolstering the instrumentation with keys, slide and electric guitar (Knopfleresque solo provided by PJ Wright), the country tinged 'Mr Bang' apparently has its inspiration in a difficult and troubled chap who also happened to be very loud drummer.
If it's been about loss, betrayal and loneliness so far, the even more country slow waltz 'Two Hearts', again featuring pedal steel and with Ian Crabtree on Spanish guitar, addresses the possibility of finding new love, hope tinted with hesitancy.
Underpinned by double bass, the earlier jazz vibe resurfaces for the smoky, finger clicking 'Queen of Reckless Feelings', a lyrical throwback to Barker's earlier and less complicated singleton days. She reminds me here slightly of Janis Ian, as indeed she does on the spare acoustic 'Tell It Like It Is', a brittle break up of an affair number, even if the publicity blurb evokes Dory Previn, another 70s singer-songwriter doyenne of songs about spurned and discarded lovers.
The album ends with Glenn Hughes on piano for the brief instrumental 'Theme to 'Ghost Girl''. But, before that pedal steel, Spanish guitar and the theme of new but difficult starts are reprised with the folk and country tones of 'Canada', a strummed first person narrative of hardships suffered by settlers encouraged by the British Government to emigrate there in the early 1800s on the back of the fur trade boom and build new lives for their families. Some went under, but many more survived and emerged stronger for the experience, which, in a nutshell, is the message at the core of this fine album.

BROOKS WILLIAMS – My Turn Now (Red Guitar Blue Music RGBM-2016)
I first encountered Brooks Williams five or six years ago at a festival. He was sitting outside a pub playing in the sunshine because the venue was locked and nobody could find the key. It was a splendid session and that's the sort of man Brooks is.
The blues and the delights of resonator guitars are at the heart of Brooks' music but there's more to him than that. Take 'Rosalyn', one of his own songs, the tale of a doomed love affair. It is deceptively simple with drums by co-producer Chris Pepper and bass by Richard Gates with Brooks playing National and slide guitars. But listen again to that bass line and then pick up on the subtleties of the melody.
My Turn Now is a mixture of styles and there is a sort of narrative thread running through the record. The first two tracks, 'Crazy Dance' and 'My Turn Now' are brash, up-tempo numbers and it feels as though a few rough edges have been deliberately left in place. Track three, 'Nine Days' Wonder', featuring the first contribution from Sally Barker, is an upbeat, slightly cynical take on modern-day celebrity culture, followed by one of my favourite tracks here, 'Darkness'.
The covers include a rocking version of Mose Allison's 'You're Mind Is On Vacation' and a snappy take on 'Hesitation Blues'. Kris Kristofferson's 'Nobody Wins' is another departure, featuring sharded lead vocals with Barker. I have to say that it's a bit naughty to label 'Sitting On Top Of The World' as traditional. Its authorship is, I believe, beyond question but putting that caveat aside this is a fine album.

Ludwig Ignaz Schupmann (* 23. Januar 1851 in Geseke; † 2. Oktober 1920 ebenda) war ein deutscher Architekt und Hochschullehrer, der außerhalb seiner beruflichen Tätigkeit als Konstrukteur von Teleskopen hervortrat. Bekannt wurde er durch die von ihm entworfenen Schupmann-Kandelaber und durch das von ihm konstruierte Schupmann-Medial-Fernrohr.

Leben

Schupmann studierte Architektur an der Technischen Hochschule Aachen. Nach seinem Abschluss beschäftigte er sich vor allem mit der Gestaltung von öffentlichen Gebäuden, wobei ihm zahlreiche Auszeichnungen zuteilwurden und er 1881 zum Regierungs-Baumeister ernannt wurde. Aufgrund seiner Talente und angeeigneten Kenntnisse seit April 1881 erhielt er neben Karl Bethge (1847–1900) sowie weiteren am 17. Juni 1882 eine Reise-Prämie von 1800 Mark zugesprochen. Zweckbestimmung war eine längere Studienreise zur Vervollkommnung der Ausbildung zu ermöglichen.

Im Jahr 1887 gewann Schupmann einen Berliner Wettbewerb für die Gestaltung repräsentativer Bogenlampen-Kandelaber, die nach ihm benannt wurden.

1889 wurde Schupmann zum Ordinarius für Hochbau an die Technische Hochschule Aachen berufen und später zum Geheimen Baurat ernannt. Nach seiner Berufung an die Hochschule hat er bis auf eine Ausnahme nicht mehr an Wettbewerben teilgenommen.

Sein Neffe war der westfälische Heimatforscher Josef Lappe.

Bauten und Entwürfe
 1880: Vereinshaus für die Berliner Kunstgenossenschaft (Entwurf, Schinkelpreis des Architekten- und Ingenieur-Vereins zu Berlin)
 1882: Reichstagsgebäude in Berlin (Entwurf, dritter Preis im Wettbewerb zum deutschen Reichstagsgebäude)
 1883: Hochreservoir (Wasserturm) der Stadt-Wasserleitung in Colmar
 1884: Entwürfe zur Bebauung der Museumsinsel in Berlin
 1885: Rathaus in Nauen (Entwurf; ausgeführt wurde der preisgekrönte Entwurf von Hartung & Schultze)
 1887: Pfarrkirche St. Johannes in Allagen, heute Ortsteil von Warstein
 1890: Kreuzbergkapelle auf dem Loermund in Sichtigvor, heute Ortsteil von Warstein
 1895: Empfangsgebäude des Bahnhofs Osnabrück (Entwurf zusammen mit Bergmann, nach Überarbeitung von Hermann Eggert ausgeführt)

Schupmann-Kandelaber

Im Jahr 1882 wurde in Berlin die elektrische Straßenbeleuchtung am Potsdamer Platz und in der Leipziger Straße in Betrieb genommen. Die Firma Siemens & Halske lieferte insgesamt 36 Kohlebogenlampen.

Im November 1887 schrieb die Stadt Berlin einen beschränkten Wettbewerb für die Gestaltung von reich verzierten Bogenlampen-Kandelabern für den Boulevard Unter den Linden aus, den Ludwig Schupmann gewann. Insgesamt wurden 104 Lampen mit einer Lichtpunkthöhe von 8 m nach diesem Entwurf gebaut und im Jahr 1888 Unter den Linden, auf dem Pariser Platz, auf dem Opernplatz und der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße aufgestellt, die später nach ihrem Schöpfer als Schupmann-Kandelaber benannt wurden.

Vor den Olympischen Spielen 1936 wurden die Schupmann-Kandelaber Unter den Linden durch sogenannte Biedermeierleuchten ersetzt. Lediglich am Pariser Platz und am Opernplatz blieben wenige Schupmann-Kandelaber erhalten. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war ein großer Teil der Berliner Schmuck-Kandelaber schwer beschädigt oder zerstört. Sie mussten abgebaut und durch schlichte moderne Lampen ersetzt werden. Nachbauten des einflammigen Schupmann-Kandelabers wurden 1992 am Pariser Platz und 1998 Unter den Linden aufgestellt. Auf dem Pariser Platz und auf dem Platz vor dem Brandenburger Tor wurden etwas später Nachbauten zweiflammiger Schupmann-Kandelaber aufgestellt.

Astronomie und Teleskop-Entwicklung
Neben der Architektur galt Schupmanns besonderes Interesse der Astronomie und der Technik von Teleskopen. Er beschäftigte sich intensiv mit der Verbesserung von Fernrohren. Dazu ersann er ein Korrektursystem, das die Farbfehler der Linsen kompensierte.

Schupmann beabsichtigte, große Teleskope mit Objektivöffnungen von mehr als 1 m für den professionellen Einsatz an Observatorien herzustellen, was sich allerdings nicht realisieren ließ. Obwohl Schupmann-Medial-Fernrohre mit Öffnungen bis zu 38,5 cm mit hervorragenden Abbildungseigenschaften hergestellt wurden – der Mondbeobachter Philipp Fauth benutzte ein solches Gerät – konnte sich dieser Fernrohrtyp nicht durchsetzen. Ab 1911 – mit der Inbetriebnahme eines 1,5 m großen Teleskops am Mount-Wilson-Observatorium – traten die Reflektoren (Spiegelteleskope) ihren Siegeszug an.

In den USA existieren jedoch noch heute regelrechte Fangemeinden von Amateurastronomen, die Schupmann-Mediale selber bauen. Die Geräte eignen sich besonders zur Beobachtung der Planeten und des Mondes.

Zu Schupmanns Gedenken wurde ein Krater auf dem Mond benannt. Auf Initiative der amerikanischen Schupmann-Fangemeinde bekam der Asteroid 1990BC1 im Dezember 2007 den Namen "(5779) Schupmann".

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1950s → 1959 → July 1959 → 24 July 1959 → Commons Sitting → MENTAL HEALTH BILL
Clause 35.—(REGULATIONS AS TO GUARDIANSHIP.)
HC Deb 24 July 1959 vol 609 cc1699-701 1699
§ Lords Amendment: In page 23, line 35, at beginning insert: Subject to the provisions of this section".
§ 11.45 a.m.
§ Mr. Walker-Smith
I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This and certain related Amendments deal with the Clauses which caused us a certain amount of worry in Standing Committee and on Report and which have been the subject of attention in another place, that is to say, Clause 36, dealing with the correspondence of detained patients and Clause 133. This Amendment goes with other Amendments in page 23, lines 37 and 41, and in page 24, lines 8 and 13. The first three are paving Amendments for the fourth and the fifth is a purely drafting Amendment.
The fourth Amendment, page 24, line 8, makes two alterations of substance to the conditions under which Clause 36 allows detained patients' outgoing correspondence to be opened or withheld from the post. The same alterations which automatically apply to the power to control the correspondence of non-detained patients, that is to say, informal patients, come under Clause 133.
The first alteration of substance is to give the Minister power to make regulations adding to the list of people from whom patients' letters may not be withheld in any circumstances. It was suggested in another place that a patient's solicitor should be an appropriate person to be added to the list and there were other suggestions such as people acting as agents of the patient, and ministers of religion.
What I propose to do is to provide in the regulations for the Clauses not to be 1700 applied to letters addressed to any person whom the patient has informed the hospital authorities to be acting as his solicitor, or whom he would wish to act as his solicitor. Of course, the House will appreciate that if letters are to be forwarded unopened, it will be necessary for the hospital authorities to be notified, because the solicitor may not be identifiable from the address on the envelope. For that reason, it would not be practical simply to add the words, "The patient's solicitor" to the exceptions contained in the Clause. One noble Lord wanted the word "agents" to be added. That is rather at large if one simply added it as a phrase.
"Ministers of religion "is another phrase which came under consideration. I do not think that we can write into the Bill an automatic provision to extend the exemption to Ministers of religion. Some hon. Members may recall that one of the examples which I gave in Committee of the sort of letters which should not be allowed to go referred to offensive letters to clergymen. Of course, I shall see what I can do in the regulations to help administratively to get over any practical problems which arise in that connection.
The second alteration of substance is to introduce a new subsection (3) which will limit the powers to open and examine outgoing letters to cases where the responsible medical officer has reason to think that the patient is likely to send the type of letter which subsection (2) allows to be withheld.
As hon. Members will recall, we had a good deal of discussion on this in Committee. By doing this I am making clear in the Statute what has always been my intention, that hospitals should not read patients' letters simply as a matter of routine. They should only do it where they know, or think, or have reason to think, that the patient is likely to send this type of letter.
§ Mr. K. Robinson
It would be churlish of me not to welcome the intention behind the Amendment, because it goes some way in the direction which I have been urging on the House and the Committee ever since the Second Reading of the Bill. Indeed, I believe that if there were six or seven more stages to the Bill we might achieve the object that I want, 1701 which is total elimination of interference with patients' correspondence.
Having said that, I must go on to say that I welcome the Amendment for a reason which will not be very acceptable to the Minister. Many times during our discussions on censorship I have made the point—and this is one of the few points which has never been squarely answered by the Minister—that these censorship provisions are administratively impossible and unworkable. I have made it clear that the object behind the Clause, and the subsequent Clause in the Bill dealing with informal patients, that of saving people distress through the receipt of letters from mental patients, cannot be achieved unless there is routine censorship of all patients' letters.
The Minister has not dealt with the administrative difficulties and the possibility of evading censorship which all patients have open to them. He has merely said that it is not the intention that there should be a routine examination of out-going mail. The Minister now makes it impossible. He now says that, statutorily, there shall not be any routine inspection.
This makes the whole thing administratively ridiculous and I suggest to medical superintendents and responsible medical officers that they remember that that these powers are merely permissive. They should say to themselves that as the Clause is in such a state as to make any form of censorship administratively impossible they will abolish any kind of censorship in their hospitals. I am sure that all progressive medical superintendents and psychiatrists will do this if they have not already done so. The Minister's regulation-making power which he has taken under the Amendment is another step in the right direction and I am only sorry that he is being hoist with his own clergymen.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
Back to Clause 31.—(EFFECT OF APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION.)
Forward to Clause 47.—(DISCHARGE OF PATIENTS.)

This is a video lesson based around the video "Mr. Bean packs his suitcase" thanks to British Council for bringing it to my attention in their lesson plan on making predictions but I've adapted it for use in different ways with different levels.
The aim of this lesson plan is to practice holiday vocabulary (clothes and items that go in a suitcase) and some basic grammar structure.
You could also use this quizlet set to go over clothes vocabulary.
Ask students: What do you have to do before you go on holiday?
Buy your ticket, pack your suitcase, find your passport etc.
Put students in pairs and arrange them so that 1 is facing the screen and one has their back to the screen. Tell them that the one facing the screen is going to watch 20 seconds of the video then describe it to their partner, their partner will then repeat back what they've heard to make sure they have understood. Students then change positions and repeat until minute 3:14. Then let all students watch the end together. Alternatively students could come up with predictions for how the video will end.
I recommend pausing the video quite frequently so that students can concentrate on describing 2 or three actions accurately rather than trying to describe a big chunk of the video.
Then replay the whole video from the start so that everyone can watch it together, ask students if they think their partner described the action well.
Thanks a lot. I am really looking forward to using this lesson plan with my first year learners of English.
Just to let you know that we've shortlisted this blog post for this month's TeachingEnglish blog award and I'll be making a post about it on Thursday's TeachingEnglish Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/TeachingEnglish.BritishCouncil, if you'd like to check there for likes and comments.
Thanks for the idea! My children of year 5 and 6 really love it. They are really enthusiastic of watching Mr Bean videos.
Great lesson. Worked really well with my 11 year old pre-Int student. Many thanks!
You're very welcome. Glad to hear it.

Air embolism caused by the removal of a catheter. An air embolism, also referred to as a gas embolism, happens when a couple of air bubbles input a vein or artery and prevent it. As soon as an air bubble enters a vein, then it is known as a venous air embolism. As soon as an air bubble passes an artery, then it is known as an arterial air embolism. Buchanan, Williams & O'Brien have experience with a wide variety of medical malpractice claims and always go the extra mile to hire the right experts needed to understand your situation. The results of our personal injury clients from the past 40+ years speak for themselves.
These air bubbles may travel to a mind, heart, or lungs and trigger a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory collapse. Air embolisms are somewhat rare.
Occasionally an air embolism or embolisms are modest and do not obstruct the arteries or veins. Little embolisms generally dissipate in the blood and do not cause significant issues. Substantial air embolisms may cause strokes or heart attacks and might be deadly. Immediate medical care for the embolism is vital, so instantly call 911 in the event that you have questions about a potential air embolism.
Routine medical procedures can become dangerous when those we trust to carry them out act negligently or have mistakes. Over half catheterized hospital patients underwent a complication, based on comprehensive interviews and chart reviews from over 2,000 patients. The results are printed in JAMA Internal Medicine. Although a lot of patient safety specialists have concentrated on UTIs that could occur out of indwelling urinary catheters, also known as Foley catheters, that threat is five times less prevalent compared to noninfectious difficulties, the analysis found. Those problems include pain, bloody urine and action restrictions whereas the catheter was in; difficulty with sexual and smoking function can happen after the device has been removed.
Between 30-180 minutes of oxygen deprivation, you might get rid of consciousness.
In the one-minute markers, brain cells start dying.
At three minutes, neurons suffer broader harm, and lasting brain injury becomes more likely.
At 10 minutes, even when the brain stays living, a coma and lasting brain damage are nearly unavoidable.
In 15 minutes, survival becomes almost impossible.

What Is Credit?
How do you define credit? This term is broad with many different meanings in the financial world. Credit is generally defined as a contractual agreement in which a borrower receives something of value now and agrees to repay the lender at a later date—generally with interest. Sometimes, it may even involve crediting a 401(k), for instance.
Credit also refers to the creditworthiness or credit history of an individual or company. It also refers to an accounting entry that either decreases assets or increases liabilities and equity on a company's balance sheet.
How Credit Works
In the first and most common definition of the term, credit refers to an agreement to purchase a good or service with the express promise to pay for it later. This is known as buying on credit. The most common form of buying on credit is via the use of credit cards. People tend to make purchases with credit cards because they may not have enough cash on hand to make the purchase. Accepting credit cards can help increase sales at retailers or between businesses.
The amount of money a consumer or business has available to borrow—or their creditworthiness—is also called credit. For example, someone may say, "He has great credit, so he's not worried about the bank rejecting his mortgage application."
Service credit is an agreement between a consumer and a service provider such as a utility, cell phone, or cable service.
In other cases, credit refers to a deduction in the amount one owes. For example, imagine someone owes their credit card company $1,000, but they return a purchase worth $300 to the store. They receive a credit on their account and then owe only $700.
Finally, in accounting, credit is an entry that depicts a decrease in assets or an increase in liability. So a credit increases net income on the company's income statement while debit reduces net income.
There are many different forms of credit. The most popular form is bank credit or financial credit. This kind of credit includes car loans, mortgages, signature loans, and lines of credit. Essentially, when the bank lends to a consumer, it credits money to the borrower who must pay it back at a future date.
Credit is generally defined as an agreement between a lender and a borrower, who promises to repay the lender at a later date—generally with interest.
Credit also refers to an individual or business' creditworthiness or credit history.
In accounting, a credit may either decreases assets or increases liabilities and equity on a company's balance sheet.
For example, when someone uses his or her Visa card to make a purchase, the card is considered a form of credit because they are buying goods with the understanding they will pay the bank back later.
Financial resources are not the only form of credit that may be offered. There may be an exchange of goods and services in exchange for a deferred payment, which is another type of credit.
When suppliers give products or services to an individual but don't require payment until later, that is a form of credit. So when a restaurant receives a truckload of food from a vendor who doesn't demand payment until a month later, the vendor is offering the restaurant a form of credit.
In accounting, a credit is an entry recording a sum that has been received. Traditionally, credits appear on the right-hand side of the column with debits on the left. For example, if someone is tracking their spending in a checking account register, they record deposits as credits and money spent or withdrawn from the account as debits.
Additionally, if a company buys something on credit, its accounts must record the transaction several places in its balance sheet. To explain, imagine that a company buys merchandise on credit.
After the purchase, the company's inventory account increases by the amount of the purchase, adding an asset to the company. However, its accounts payable field also increases by the amount of the purchase, adding a liability to the company.
Revolving Credit
Revolving credit refers to a situation where credit replenishes up to the agreed upon threshold, known as the credit limit, as the customer pays off debt.
What Is Joint Credit?
Joint credit is issued to two or more people based on their combined incomes, assets, and credit histories.
A liability is something a person or company owes, usually a sum of money.
Debt consolidation is the act of combining several loans or liabilities into one by taking out a new loan to pay off the debts.
Understanding Lines of Credit (LOC)
A line of credit (LOC) is an arrangement between a financial institution, usually a bank, and a customer that establishes the maximum amount a customer can borrow.
Debt Security Definition
A debt security is a debt instrument that has its basic terms, such as its notional amount, interest rate, and maturity date, set out in its contract.

Irish Water staff threatened with machete and pelted with rocks
An incident log shows that 21 instances of assault or abuse were reported by staff since 2017.

THREATS WITH A machete, speeding cars veering towards a team of workers and rocks being thrown at vans were among the instances of abuse and assault reported by Irish Water staff over the past three years.
A log of flashpoints since 2017 shows that 21 instances of assault or abuse were reported by staff or contractors of the water utility, including ten last year.
In Galway city last year, a contractor crew were threatened with a machete by an irate homeowner, according to records released under the Freedom of Information Act.
A note of the incident explained: "The male involved was standing on his property waving the 500mm machete at the contractor crew installing boundary boxes in the footpath outside his house."
Two incidents were also recorded in Co Donegal involving attacks on people working for Irish Water.
In March, "one of [the] contractor's traffic management operatives was assaulted by a member of the public. As of yet unsure if he needed medical treatment. The operative reported the incident to the gardaí."
Another similar incident followed three months later in June in the same county.
A database of the complaints noted: "Contractor operative was attacked by a stranger. Operative received several blows to the head before the gardaí arrived and arrested the attacker.
"Operative was taken to hospital for examination and was advised to rest for the remainder of the day."
'Irish Water scum'
In another incident last year, three employees of Dublin City Council who were working on behalf of Irish Water were verbally abused by a gang of people.
A note of the incident said: "While one individual shouted obscenities and referred to … employees as 'scumbags', 'kn***ers', and 'Irish Water scum', another photographed their vehicles."
The records also detail another assault on a worker in Tipperary in February along with "insinuating remarks".
Two months later, also in Tipperary, a "contractor operative was confronted by an aggressive member of the public who threatened and verbally abused him."
A log of the incident continued: "The operative consulted with the site caretaker who was able to identify the aggressor."
In 2018, five assaults or threats were recorded including one sinister incident in the early hours of the morning in Dublin city.
"[The] incident took place at 2.00am when gang of 4/5 persons questioned crew about their work and looked for ID," said the Irish Water records.
In Mayo, a staff member of Irish Water sat into her vehicle and was starting to reverse when she noticed a cardboard box had been placed against the rear wheel.
According to the records, she then got out and removed the box, and noticed abusive graffiti had been daubed on the vehicle.
Children threw rocks
Six further incidents were reported in 2017 including one where a member of the public harassed a staff member on the phone and then turned up at Irish Water offices to continue verbally abusing him.
In another case in north Dublin that March, two cars approached a work site at high speed.
An account of the incident said: "Just as the vehicles passed by the works, [a] silver car swerved in towards an operative. Operatives had to jump onto the bank to avoid the car."
The cars subsequently crashed into each other and clipped the back of an Irish Water cabin.
"The two cars stopped a short distance up the road. There were four people in the silver car and three people in the red car. They got out of the cars and starting roaring down towards the crew, who were within the caged site," said the note.
The gang then got back into the two cars, only to return some time later to verbally abuse and threaten the work crew again.
In another incident in Limerick, a contractor drove to an emergency job as part of a leakage repair project in the county.
A description said: "Local children threw rocks at their van and damaged it."
Asked about the log of attacks and threats on employees and contractors, a spokeswoman for Irish Water said: "We have no further comment to make on it."

Harvard Scientist Engineers Bacterium That Inhales CO2, Produces Energy
May 30, 2016 • 1 min read
Nocera's artificial leaf, developed while he was at MIT, made a splash five years ago because the wafer of silicon and other elements can be dropped in water, exposed to sunlight, and it will continuously split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen, a clean burning fuel, is typically made from natural gas in a process that emits greenhouse gases. The leaf hasn't lived up to its promise, Nocera said, because the world isn't ready for hydrogen fuel. (...)
But if hydrogen from the leaf can combine with CO2 to make alcohol fuel, the fuel can be used the way diesel is now. So over the last 18 months, Nocera worked with biologists from Harvard Medical School to engineer a bacteria called Ralston eutropha to consume hydrogen and CO2 and convert them into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy molecule used by natural organisms. Building on discoveries made earlier by Anthony Sinskey, a professor of microbiology at MIT, they inserted more genes to convert the ATP into alcohol and cause the bacteria to excrete it. (...)
A one-liter reactor full of Nocera's bacteria can capture 500 liters of atmospheric CO2 per day, he said. For every kilowatt hour of energy they produce, they'll remove 237 liters of CO2 from the air. But much of that will return to the air when the alcohol is burned. "This isn't solving your CO2 problem," he said. "I'm taking CO2 out of the air, you burn it and you put the CO2 back. So it's carbon neutral. I'm not going to reverse 400 ppm of CO2. But you're not going to use any more stuff out of the ground."

The van that Thomas and Sherri have has a ramp that goes out when the side door opens and Thomas can go in and out with his wheel chair. He has regained enough use of his arms and hands that he could drive the van if it were equipped with hand controls, but the van is to old to qualify for hand controls by the insurance. So they need to buy a relatively new van and then Workers Comp will pay for the conversions that need to be made with ramp and hand controls. Relatively new vans are relatively expensive so Sherri being the planner/organizer that she is has come up with these various fund raisers like bottle drives and this garage sale that is in my orchard today and tomorrow. people have brought pickup loads of stuff to donate and this is like the granddaddy of all garage sales. With all the cars and people coming and going it was more like a rodeo. There were lots of people who donated stuff and there were a lot of people who donated time to help for hours organizing all the stuff and then being here today and tomorrow for the sale. It is always fun to see people work together for a cause and to see the great results when they do. It always seems that God's hand of blessing is on those projects and people involved with them when the cause is noble and there is good unity on the part of those involved.
