Arsenal Top Seasons – 1934/35 our 8th Best
The previous season had seen the Gunners win the league for the second successive time despite the untimely death of the great Herbert Chapman in January 1934. The Club appointed the club's press officer, George Allison, as Chapman's successor. In some ways, Allison moved from publicity expert to Club figurehead rather than manager itself and he wisely chose to use the existing coaching and playing resources to their fullest potential.
Although not officially in charge until the start of the 1934/35 season, George Allison had already procured Ted Drake from Southampton in March 1934 for £6,500. (Chapman had tried to lure Drake from The Saints two seasons earlier).
The signing of Drake was key to Arsenal's success in the 34/5 season, with the tough, skilful centre forward scoring 42 goals in 41 games including 3 hat-tricks and four 4-goal hauls.
Arsenal began the season rampant at home but struggling a little on our travels. It wasn't until late November (at Chelsea) that the team secured our first away victory, though managed to end the campaign with the league's best travelling record.
Sunderland and Manchester City made the early season running with the Wearsiders inflicting Arsenal's second defeat of the season in October, proving to be The Gunners main Championship rivals. By Christmas, the North-East side were top of the table with Arsenal in third position, albeit only a point behind.
The Club made some personnel changes in mid-season to bolster and reinvigorate our title bid. In January 1935, Taffy Rogers arrived from Wrexham, a few weeks later, Bobby Davidson joined from St. Johnstone, and in March, Alf Kirchen was signed from Norwich City. All would make a contribution in the run-in.
When Arsenal and Sunderland met at Highbury on March 9 1935, a crowd of 73,295 (the record Highbury attendance) saw a tight 0-0 stalemate. Arsenal remained on top by two points, but with both Sunderland and Manchester City snapping at their heels.
The next game in the League was away at Everton on March 16th and aside from the 8,7 and 6 nil thumpings, proved to be a remarkable match indeed. Frank Moss, the Arsenal keeper was injured after half an hour and had to be replaced by Eddie Hapgood in goal. He left the field of play and received treatment in the dressing room from Tom Whittaker. Ted Drake scored with a long range pile-driver just six minutes after Moss had left the field and Arsenal went in one up at the break.
In front of an astonished Goodison crowd, Moss came out on to the pitch at the start of the second half wearing a red outfield player's shirt and took his place on the left wing with an injured arm strapped to his side. At that time there were no substitutes allowed in English football, not even for severely injured players.
Who knows how much persuasion was required for him to allow the title-chasing Arsenal side to take the field with their full complement of 11 players?
Arsenal's makeshift defence held firm with Hapgood making a number of decent saves. Then bizarrely, Frank Moss, showing a touch of the Jesse Owenses, latched onto a pass from Ted Drake and buried the ball into the Everton net in the 70th minute. Reportedly, even the Toffees' fans applauded his goal as he was mobbed by his excited team mates. Shortly after the goal, he left the field in agony as the injury flared up again (perhaps Herbie Roberts threw him over his shoulder in the goal celebration!). He was taken to hospital after the game to reset what turned out to be a double dislocation of the shoulder. The match ball signed by both sets of players was possibly scant consolation for what, in the long run, was to be a career-threatening injury.
Frank Moss and family
With five games to go, Arsenal demolished Middlesbrough 8-0 (including another four by Ted Drake) to lead the First Division by three points. Four days later the Gunners played the same opposition away from home, this time winning by a single goal (Drake again the match-winner), opening up a five point gap with two games remaining and thus securing the title.
The Highbury faithful were treated to a magnificent 74 goals in the 21 home games of the 1934/5 season while conceding only 17 (even Micky would have been happy to attend!). To put the cherry quite firmly on top of the cake, Tottenham Hotspur were relegated, bottom of the table.

Arsenal's Top 5 Managers
Throughout our history Arsenal has seen 19 different managers. I'm going to give a brief outline of my personal top five.
First up is Herbert Chapman (1925-1934)
In the 1925 close season Sir Henry Norris placed the following advertisement in the Athletic News.
"Arsenal Football Club is open to receive applications for the position of Team Manager. He must possess the highest qualifications for the post, both as to ability and personal character. Gentlemen whose sole ability to build up a good side depends on the payment of heavy and exorbitant transfer fees need not apply."
He became our manager shortly after and remained as such for a short 8.5 seasons before his untimely death from pneumonia on January 6th 1934
He championed major innovations in football including floodlighting, numbered shirts and European competitions. He along with Charles Buchan created the famous WM formation which helped to transform Arsenal into one of the greats of English football.
Under his guidance we won our first major trophy, the 1930 FA Cup.
A bronze bust of Herbert Chapman is on proud display outside of the Emirates Stadium.
Herbert Chapman's league record –
Games 336, Won 157, Drawn 84, Lost 95,
Goals for 736, Goals against 541,
Goals for per game 2.19, Goals against per game 1.61
Points won 59.3%
Average League Position 6.25
Total # of trophies won – 2 League titles, 1 FA Cup, 3 Charity Shields.
Second we have George Allison (1934-1947)
During WW1 he worked for the War Office and the Admiralty, producing propaganda, and later joined the Royal Fling Corps (later renamed the Royal air Force). After the war he moved into broadcasting, joining the BBC and becoming the first person to commentate on the radio on events such as The Derby and the Grand National, as well as the annual England v.Scotland international, and the 1927 FA Cup Final. By this time, he had already formed a strong association with Arsenal and he became the club's programme editor, becoming a member of the board of directors soon after the end of the WW1; he was first club secretary and then managing director.
After the sudden death of Herbert Chapman in January 1934, he was appointed Chapman's full-time successor, in the summer of that year. Arsenal had already won the League Championship twice in a row (1932-33 and 1933-34), and he made it a hat-trick, winning a third successive title in 1934-35.
He famously appeared in a 1939 movie that was set at Highbury, "The Arsenal Stadium Mystery", where he had a speaking part as himself. Amongst his lines included one uttered at half time: "It's one-nil to the Arsenal. That's the way we like It.", a line which had resonance with the team's penchant for 1-0 score lines many decades later.
He passed away in 1957 after several years of illness.
George Allison's league record –
Points won 60.2%.
Thirdly we have Tom Whittaker (1947-1956)
In 1919, after serving his country in World War I, he joined Arsenal, under manager Leslie Knighton. He first played as centre-forward then as wing-half, signing as a professional in January 1920 and making his debut in a 1–0 defeat away to West Bromwich Albion.
He toured Australia as part of the FA side in 1925, but during the tour, in a match in Wollongong he broke his knee cap and was forced to retire from playing. Following his injury he joined Arsenal's coaching staff and also studied to become a physiotherapist. He became Arsenal's first team trainer under Herbert Chapman in 1927, at the time, he was younger than many of the players. He assisted Chapman in transforming the training and physiotherapy regime at the club, and played a major part in the club's successes during the 1930s.
After Herbert Chapman passed away in 1934, he continued to serve under his successor, George Allison while also becoming a trainer for the English National Team. With the advent of WW11 he began to work as an ARP warden, before becoming a pilot in the Royal Air Force where he achieved the rank of Squadron Leader. For his service in missions on D-Day, he was awarded an MBE.
When George Allison retired in 1947, he became the club's new manager; after winning the League in 1947-48 and 1952-53 and the FA Cup in 1949-50, the club's success waned. He tried, in vain, to attract major stars to the club, one being Stanley Matthews who said later – "I felt there was nothing to be gained by moving south, however I was very happy and politely turned down the offer". "Such an approach was against the rules at the time and, consequently, I couldn't tell anyone about it, and I never have until now."
Sadly Tom passed away from a heart attack in 1956, aged 58.
Tom Whittaker's league record –
Games 378, Won 171, Drawn 101, Lost 106,
Our Fourth manager is George Graham (1986-1995)
Arsenal, who had not won a trophy since the FA Cup in 1978–79, appointed him as their new manager in May 1986. Arsenal finished fourth in his first season in charge, and then went on to win the 1987 League Cup. His sides featured tight defensive discipline, embodied by Tony Adams, who along with Lee Dixon, Steve Bould and Nigel Winterburn, formed the basis of Arsenal's famous defence for over a decade. However, his teams were not only about defence as he had more than capable midfielders such as David Rocastle, Michael Thomas and Paul Merson, plus striker Alan Smith, who regularly scored 20 plus goals per season. In (1988–89), Arsenal won their first League title since 1971.
In the final game of the season against Liverpool at Anfield; Arsenal needed to win by two goals to take the title; Alan Smith scored for Arsenal early in the second half to make it 1–0 and with only seconds to go Michael Thomas surging through the Liverpool defence and lifting the ball over Bruce Grobbelaar and into the net.
The 1994 Cup Winners' Cup was his last trophy at the club; the following February he was sacked after nearly nine years in charge, after it was discovered he had accepted an illegal £425,000 payment from Norwegian agent Rune Hauge following Arsenal's 1992 acquisition of John Jensen and Pål Lydersen, two of Hauge's clients. George was eventually banned for a year by the Football Association for his involvement in the scandal, after he admitted he had received an "unsolicited gift" from Hauge.
George Graham's league record –
Games 364, Won 167, Drawn 108, Lost 89,
Goals for per game 1.49, Goals against per game .90
Points won = 55.6%.
Total # of trophies won – 2 League titles, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, 1 Cup Winners Cup.
Finally we have our current manager Arsene Wenger (1996 – Present)
Arsene was born in Strasbourg, France and raised in Duttlenheim. He was introduced to football by his father, the manager of the local village team, however his playing career mostly as an amateur, was very modest.
In 1996, Arsene was appointed as the manager of Arsenal and two years later the club completed a league and FA Cup double. He led Arsenal to appearances in the 2000 UEFA Cup Final and 2001 FA Cup Final, and a second league and cup double in 2002. Arsenal retained the FA Cup in 2003 and a year later regained the league title, becoming the first club to go through an entire league season undefeated since Preston North End, 115 years previously. The team later eclipsed Nottingham Forest's record of 42 league matches unbeaten and went seven more matches before losing in October 2004. Arsenal made their first appearance in a Champions League final in 2006, though they lost to Barcelona. During his tenure, Arsenal has moved to a new training centre and after 93 years at Highbury they relocated to the Emirates Stadium.
In February 1999, Arsene offered Sheffield United a replay of their FA Cup fifth round match immediately after the match had finished, due to the controversial circumstances in which it was won. The decisive goal was scored by Overmars after Kanu failed to return the ball to the opposition when it had been kicked into touch to allow Sheffield United's Lee Morris to receive treatment for an injury, Arsenal went on to win the replay.
Under Arsene Wenger Arsenal hold the current British record for the most consecutive appearances in the Champions League with 2015-16 being their 20th consecutive, Man U held the previous record with 21 consecutive which stopped in 2013-14
In 2002 he was awarded France's highest decoration, the Légion d'Honneur and was in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of 2003. He has also received an honorary OBE for his service to football and was then inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2006. A commissioned bronze bust of Arsene was unveiled as a tribute to him at the club's annual general meeting on 18 October 2007. An Arsenal fan and astronomer, Ian Griffin, named an asteroid, 33179 Arsènewenger. In January 2011, he was voted "World Coach of the Decade" by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics.
A bronze statue of Arsene Wenger is proudly displayed outside of the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger's Premier league record –
Goals for 1348, Goals against 681,
Points won = 66.2%,
Average League Position 3.01,
These are the records of my Top 5 Arsenal Mangers. If it were possible who would you choose to manage Arsenal today? (My choice will be a (well known) secret)

An Arsenal Blast from the Past 1932/33 League Divison 1 Championship
The 1932/33 season saw Arsenal win it's second League Division One Championship it was the first of three successive Championship wins 1932/33, 1933/34 and 1934/35. During the eight year period of 1930/31 to 1937/38 they won five League Championship titles. In the 1932/33 season they scored 111 goals, Cliff Bastin getting 33 of them, a record for a winger unlikely ever to be beaten. That year there was also a shock defeat in the FA Cup losing 0-2 away to Walsall, Herbert Chapman got the local underground station, Gillespie Road renamed to Arsenal, and he also introduced the now famous white sleeves in a match against Liverpool in March 1933. Unfortunately Chapman died of pneumonia in January of 1934, he was succeeded as manager by George Allison with Tom Whittaker and Joe Shaw as coaches, George went on win the League titles in both 1933/34 and 1934/35. The 1934/35 season saw Sunderland emerge as their main competitors; Arsenal lost 1-2 away then they drew 0-0 at Highbury on March 9th 1935 in front of Arsenal's all time record crowd of 73,295.
Arsenal were the outstanding team in the Football League, early on in the1932/33 season Leeds United were one of their main competitors and they were involved in a titanic tussle for the leadership of the First Division. On Boxing Day 1932 Leeds travelled to Highbury, at the time they were six points adrift of Arsenal in the League standings and to everyone's surprise it was Leeds who triumphed beating Arsenal by 2-1, with Charlie Keetley getting both goals in front of a huge 55,876 crowd, while Joe Hulme scored the lone Arsenal goal. Incredibly enough this set the scene for the very next day, when they played again in the return fixture at Elland Road where the crowd of the previous day was exceeded and a new record attendance for Elland Road was set at 56,796. For safety reasons the gates were locked and hundreds clambering on nearby house roofs as well as the Peacock Public House and various vantage points on Beeston Hill, in an attempt to get a glimpse of the action. Victory would have strengthened Leeds United's championship aspirations but they were held to a goal-less draw by the star-studded Gunners and ended up the season in eighth position.
Arsenal went on to take the Football League Championship that season and were so dominant and overwhelming that they went on to become only the second team in Football League history to complete a treble by winning the Championship again in 1933-34 and 1934-35, Huddersfield Town being the first team to achieve the treble of Championships from 1924 to 1926.
In an English International game played at Highbury against Italy on November 14th, 1934 England fielded seven Arsenal Players Frank Moss in goal, George Male at right back, Edie Hapgood at left back, Wilf Copping at left half, Ray Bowden at inside right Cliff Bastin at inside left and Ted Drake at center forward. Ted Drake scored one of England's goals in a 3-2 victory, during the 1934/35 season Ted netted 42 times for Arsenal.
Arsenal training: Apr 27, 1935
The Arsenal team was chock full of Internationals and household names and their line ups at the time usually included such names as: Frank Moss; George Male, Eddie Hapgood, Frank Hill, Herbie Roberts, Bob John, Joe Hulme, David Jack, Tim Coleman, Jack Lambert, Alex James, Cliff Bastin, Wilf Copping, Ray Bowden and Ted Drake
Arsenal 1932-33 Team
NB: That's the type of League table that I like, no Manchester United, Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur anywhere to be seen – those were the days my friends………

An Arsenal Blast from the Past No.6 …… 1947/48 League Division 1 Championship
One night during WWII I was lying in bed when the room was suddenly lit up with a nearby searchlight coming on. Thinking it was a raid coming, I jumped out of bed and I started to get dressed. Looking out of the window, I saw dozens of searchlights sweeping the sky and waving backwards and forwards. I went into the front room where Mum and Dad had the radio on and they were just announcing the end of the war in Europe. Our next-door neighbour rushed in and everybody sat talking until the early hours of the morning. The next day nobody went to work and we had an impromptu party down at the corner of the road. People took cakes and sandwiches down to be shared out and a radiogram was fixed up to provide music for people to dance to.
Germany had officially surrendered and Londoners could now try to rebuild their damaged City and lives. Life was still very difficult, good jobs were scarce, food was still rationed, we still used Cow and Gate powered milk, and bomb sites were scattered all over town. But gradually life was returning to the streets and the daily fear of bombing raids, and having to dash to air raid shelters for safety, was now just a horrible memory.
The Arsenal ground in North London was not spared from war damage as the North Stand was extensively damaged by fire and the roof had collapsed, the South Stand terracing was also badly damaged and in need of repair. The debts from the construction of Highbury and the costs of repairing the war damage were a heavy financial burden, and Arsenal struggled when competitive football resumed. The war had cut short the careers of many of the club's star players, including Bastin and Drake and nine of the pre-WW11 had been lost during the war.. They lost 6-1 on aggregate to West Ham United in the third round of the 1945-46 FA Cup, and upon the league's resumption in 1946-47 the club finished a disappointing 13th.
After close to forty years with the Arsenal George Allison decided to retire from football at the end of that season, and was replaced by his assistant Tom Whittaker, who had been the clubs trainer under Herbert Chapman. So Tom Whittaker took over the reigns at Highbury with Joe Shaw joining him from Chelsea. Arsenal kicked off the1947/48 season with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland at Highbury, an ideal start for the new management team. Leslie Compton, the previous club Captain who had been playing cricket for Middlesex Cricket club, returned to Arsenal and they won the next six games. Joe Mercer had been Arsenal's Captain in Compton's absence but Whittaker felt that now Compton was back he should, once again, lead the team but Compton felt differently and persuaded him to keep Joe on as the clubs Captain.
1947 was a milestone year in the life of GunnerN5, I was nine years old and, for as long as I could remember I'd spent endless hour's playing football on Avenell Road with my mates and kicking a rag football (made by my Mum) about and using the main gate into Highbury as our goal. We were in awe of all the grown ups as they streamed in and out of Highbury on Saturday afternoon's and wished we had the few pennies it cost to get inside. The different noises coming from the ground always left us wondering what was happening inside but we always knew when the Gunners had scored as that caused the biggest roar of all.
My maternal Grandfather then changed my life and gave me the best present I have ever received, for my 10th birthday he took me to my very first Arsenal game it was November 22nd 1947 Arsenal vs Huddersfield Town and we won 2-0. My memories of the game are somewhat of a blur but we stood, in what was our family section under the Clock, (you see nobody ever told my Grandfather to move – he was a 6"5" local coalman and made of steel). I often feel that the young Paul Ashworth, in the movie "Fever Pitch", was none other than a young GunnerN5 because after being inside Highbury for the first time there was nothing that was going to keep me out, lack of money, broken glass topped brick walls, turnstiles, stewards, were just mere obstacles to be overcome – I was hooked for life.
Tom Whittaker enjoyed immediate success with the club, winning the League in 1947-48; led by Captain Joe Mercer and with goals from the attacking front two of Reg Lewis and Ronnie Rooke, Arsenal topped the table from October and never looked back beating second place Manchester United by seven points. Given the age of the Arsenal side at the time (Rooke and Mercer were both over thirty, as were Denis and Leslie Compton), it was a remarkable achievement however long-term success was never on the cards. In response, Whittaker started to rebuild the team with younger players and brought in Doug Lishman, Alex Forbes and Cliff Holton.
In a remarkable family double Denis and Leslie Compton played alongside each other at football in Arsenal's League Championship of 1947/48 and at cricket in Middlesex's County Championship title in 1947.
The highest ever Football League attendance was on Saturday January 17th 1948 when a crowd of 83,260 watched Manchester United play Arsenal at Maine Road the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Greatest Manager – Herbert Chapman or George Allison
Today's post is a collaborative effort between GunnerN5 and Gooner In Exile and is the first in a series that will be profiling the best managers and players ever to represent the Arsenal. We will publish a poll at the end of each category to allow readers to choose who they deem to be the best of all time. The end result will establish (after 8 weeks of painstakingly researched articles) who readers believe comprises the best Arsenal team of all time.
1. Herbert Chapman: 1925-1934
He was born in Kiveton Park, near Rotherham; his father was a coal miner. One of eleven children in a keen sporting family, two of his brothers played professional football. The most successful was Harry, who played for The Wednesday in the 1900s. His older brother Tom played for Grimsby Town and yet another brother, Matthew, became a director of the same club. Herbert's own playing career was mostly as a journeyman amateur.
His managerial career began with Northampton Town after which he joined Leeds City.
During the suspension of league football, during WW1, he decided to help the war effort by becoming manager of a munitions factory in Barnbow. Soon after the end of WW1 Leeds City was accused of making illegal payments to players and as they refused to open their books for examination the club was expelled from the football league. Five officials including Chapman were banned from football for life. However the ban was overturned in 1921, when Huddersfield Town gave him a character reference, he then joined them as assistant manager on February1st 1921 and was appointed secretary/manager the following month. He went on to win the FA Cup in 1924-25 and consecutive League Titles in 1923-24 & 1924-25.
In the 1925 close season, Arsenal chairman Sir Henry Norris placed the following advertisement in the Athletic News.
Herbert moved to Arsenal soon after, attracted both by Arsenal's larger crowds and a salary of £2,000, double what he earned at Huddersfield Town. Arsenal's league form was indifferent but in 1927 they reached the FA Cup Final losing 1–0 to Cardiff City. That same year, Arsenal became embroiled in a scandal over illegal footballers' pay. Sir Henry Norris was indicted for his part and banned from football, but Chapman escaped punishment.
He showed his cunning during negotiations held in a hotel when looking to buy David Jack from Bolton. Chapman met with the barman and gave him two pounds and then said "This is my assistant Mr Wall; he will drink whiskey and dry ginger. I will drink gin and tonic. Our guests will drink whatever they choose but you will give them double of everything while Mr. Wall's drinks and mine will contain no liquor." His cunning worked as Arsenal paid 3,000 pounds less than Bolton had first asked.
He went on to establish Arsenal as English footballs dominate force and his football concepts and ideas served as a template for teams and managers all over the globe. He won the first trophy for the club winning the FA Cup in 1930. His 1930/31 team scored an incredible 127 goals – still a club record. He championed innovations such as floodlighting, European competitions and numbered shirts.
Tragically he passed away from pneumonia in 1934 aged 55 years.
A bronze bust of Chapman stood inside Highbury as a tribute to this outstanding manager.
2. George Allison: 1934-1947.
Born in Hurworth-on-Tees, County Durham, he played amateur football in Stockton-on-Tees and dabbled in writing as a sideline and eventually became a full time journalist.
Unlike Herbert Chapman he took a hands-off approach to managing and left Joe Shaw and Tom Whittaker to take care of the training and squad discipline, while he concentrated on transfer policy and the club's relationship with the media. He was known as being tactful, friendly and good-hearted but it was felt that he fell short in his handling of the squad and lacked a professional's deep knowledge of the game. However his proponents have cited the amount of trophies won in his reign, although by the end of the 1930s Arsenal were no longer the all-conquering team that they had once been and he was unable to replace many of the stars from the first half of the decade. With the start of WW11 football in England was suspended; after the war ended, many of the players that had made Arsenal great had retired from playing. Arsenal finished a disappointing 13th in 1946-47, by now he was in his mid-sixties and being tired of managerial life, he decided to step down and retire from the game.
He died in 1957 after several years of illness.

Arsenal, man and boy…… memoirs of a life-long Gunner
We are delighted to publish this fascinating historical insight from our latest writer GunnerN5. The bomb site he played on as a lad is what we now know as Ashburton Grove … yes, the Emirates Stadium; how times have changed.
I was born on Avenell Road as the bombs were dropping on Islington; later we were evacuated to Lemsford near Hatfield in the county of Hertfordshire.
My maternal Grandfather was a coalman and used to deliver around the cobbled streets of Highbury by horse and cart. He lived on Stavordale Road and watched the very first Arsenal game at Highbury.
For my 10th birthday he took me to my first Arsenal game- Nov 22nd 1947 – Arsenal 2 Huddersfield 0 – I was hooked for life.
We were a poor family and my parents could not afford to buy me tickets to the game but that did not stop a determined Arsenal supporter from getting into the ground. Over the walls, I had to negotiate the broken glass bedded into the cement at the top of the walls and often went home with torn pants and got a clip round the ear. Through my Dads legs and under the turnstiles, usually ending up with scuffed knees.
Failing either of these ways in I would wait until half time and when the stewards opened the gates I would dash in and hide in the crowd – the stewards used to give a mock chase but I think they kinda enjoyed letting me go.
I went to every home game, 1st team one week, reserves the next and went to every away cup game that I could afford. We stood as a family under the clock, about 20 of us. My parents both were born in family's with 9 sons who fathered 46 sons. Of the 64 of us, 60 were fervent Gunners but 4 misguided soul's went the wrong way up Seven Sisters Road and ended up to be Spurs supporters – I ask ya?
Life's path took me and my family to Canada, it was a real shock not being able to go to live games but I've made up for it by having 3 satellite dishes and the internet – between which I NEVER miss a game, although not always live. Still to this day Arsenal results can make or break my day and as game time approaches I still get goose bumps.
Being a statistical type of person I've created masses of data on our history and have recorded on excel spreadsheets every seasons results by year and manager. I also have our history by every team we've played in the EPL.
I've seen the teams of our past 12 managers going back to George Allison and in this mans view Arsene Wenger is far and away the best.
Unfortunately I've not seen a live game at the Emirates although as a kid I did play around that area.
Cheers to all and here's to another exciting season.
Since GunnerN5 grew up in wartime, we thought it would be interesting to reproduce this passage describing the adaptation of Highbury, taken from Arsenal.com…..
Highbury becomes ARP stronghold during World War II
During the Second World War 42 of Arsenal's 44 professional footballers were drafted into the services. The majority of the administration staff at Highbury followed and even the stadium itself did its bit for the war effort.
Arsenal Stadium, Highbury was transformed into a ARP (Air Raid Precautions) stronghold and Arsenal had to play their wartime home fixtures at White Hart Lane!
Incidentally, manager George Allison did convert the referees room at Highbury into a small flat for a while.
Success continued during the war years with Arsenal winning the South A League in 1940, the London League in 1942, the Football League South and the Football League South Cup Final in 1943.
Arsenal relied heavily on guest players during that six-year period, notably Stan Mortensen and Stanley Matthews.
For all its efforts, Highbury paid the price when it was bombed. The North Bank was completely destroyed and much of the terracing on the South Stand was also damaged. These had to be repaired before Arsenal could return home after the war.

Cloud vs On Premise CRM: Which one is for you?
If you've been involved in meetings discussing technology solutions there is a good chance that you've heard the terms "Cloud" or "On-Premise" mentioned. So firstly, let's put this post into context by describing what a cloud based solution is and what an On premise solution is.
(or "Cloud CRM") is shorthand for a remote CRM system that is hosted away from your offices, on the internet (or 'the cloud') and not on your own computing system. Because it's hosted remotely, it means that your information can be accessed anywhere, any time and any place (assuming the user has access to the web). They've been around for a while, but really took off as internet download speeds improved and made accessing large amounts of data easier to do. Paying for on-demand CRM is usually done via a licensing system – you pay an annual fee based on the number of people who will use the system.
(or "In-house CRM") on the other hand, is a software that you manage from your own company's premises which allows you to have absolute control over your data. You typically purchase your licences only once and after that the whole system management stays with your IT department.
The problem in teasing out the advantages and disadvantages of on-demand against on-premises CRM solutions is that almost all the information out there is put together by someone who wants to sell you one or the other.
However, there are some generally agreed challenges and opportunities that can be looked at objectively. On-demand seems to grow in popularity, and small businesses are in the vanguard of those taking it up. It's no surprise really, cloud storage and cloud applications are mushrooming in every area of computing, so why should CRM be any different?
On-demand CRM should now offer you very nearly as much customisation as an on-premise solution, certainly if you're using an established system with a wide user base. However, they are designed to be used – and tailored to – a variety of organisations, and if your business is going to need something completely unique then on-premise solutions may be better suited to add extra pages, tabs and so on. Against this it should be noted that on-demand CRMs are usually designed so that they can be customised with no programming expertise by users.
On-demand will come with remote access as a standard, almost certainly via the web. It's worth checking, though, that you won't be completely cut off from your new CRM system if you lose the internet for an afternoon. Also check which devices can use the system.
Price is a major decision maker for any small business and it's something you should research carefully when you consider your CRM system. And don't just look at upfront costs, bear in mind that you might be using this system for five years or more and weigh the initial layout against licensing fees and extra user costs. However, in the short term in particular, on-demand CRM is almost always better value.
With on-demand systems you are putting a lot of your data over the wires, so ensure that you check out security carefully. That said, for small businesses, the costs of hosting their own data in-house with the levels of security most CRM solutions will offer can be prohibitively expensive in any case. In fact, outsourcing this function can often offer increased levels of security.
One of the key selling points of an on-demand solution is that you get an IT team for free (or, for less than it costs to employ your own). If you're struggling to find IT support in any case, you might not wish to add a complex new software system to their responsibilities. However, do check that your on-demand supplier can offer you all the support you're going to need, including if possible user training and help lines – outsourcing CRM admin to the end of a phone that is never answered is no answer.
Some experts warn that on-demand solutions don't offer the same level of integration into existing systems that can be found with on-premise systems. This may be true if your organisation is complex, however, for many small businesses on-demand will be perfectly adequate. However, do check out what you'll be getting.

TransIT Services of Frederick County is a public transportation agency in Frederick County, Maryland, that is operated by the county government.  The agency currently operates 9 Connector bus routes, mostly in the city of Frederick, 5 shuttles, and demand-response for seniors and persons with disabilities. TransIT provides connections to other public transportation services in the region, including the MTA Maryland's routes 204 and 515 commuter bus and MARC Train service. According to the agency's homepage, the service had approximately 909,800 boardings in FY 2012.

TransIT Services is the result of merging the former Trans-Serve Frederick County shuttles and the Frederick City Transit lines.

Connector bus routes operate Monday–Friday, and routes 10–65 also provide Saturday service. The agency does not operate any of its routes on Sunday. Most routes provide weekday peak-hour service (every 30 minutes) in addition to hourly service Monday–Friday.

Fares
In April 2014, the fare for a one-way trip using Transit for the general public was $1.25 with a monthly pass costing $45.00. In June 2014, the one-way trip fare for the general public increased to $1.50. At the same time, the fare for TransIT Plus also increased.

Youth and students do not get a discount on one-way trip fare, but do get a discounted rate of $30.00 for a monthly pass. Seniors and disabled persons have a discounted one-way trip fare of $0.60 and a discounted monthly pass rate of $30.00. Ten trip passes can be purchased for $12.00 for the general population, $8.00 for students and youth, and $5.50 for seniors and disabled persons. Transfers are free, and most routes have timed transfers with other routes at the TransIT Center, which is at the city's downtown MARC rail station.

If the bus needs to deviate from its normal route for a stop, an additional $1.50 is charged to the passenger and 24 hours heads up must be given.

Fleet

TransIT currently has a fleet composing of full length buses for their connector routes as well as cut-away para transit vehicles used for shuttles and TransIT+ services. Currently, the fleet subsets are replaced and returned on average every 14 years, the maximum service life for a bus permitted by Maryland law.

Currency there are 28 buses and 35 para-transit cut-away buses on the active fleet, along with several minivans, and passenger cars used for various TransIT special needs services.

Former fleet
The original Frederick City Transit bus system utilized several former Frederick County Public School buses fitted with rear exit doors. These buses were numbered 101 and 102 and painted white.

Frederick City's first new bus order consisted of 1981 vintage TMC T-30 Citycruiser thirty foot buses (a license-built version of the Ontario Bus Industries (OBI) Orion I), which served the original Red and Blue Routes and were numbered 200–203. Frederick City purchased one lone Orion I thirty foot model transit coach built in 1987 (old faithful, number 204) to serve the new White Route that ran from downtown to the city's north end.

Soon after the formation of TransIT Services of Frederick County, TransIT purchased four new Orion V, thirty foot models (numbered 322–325) in 1994 to replace the original three TMC buses. The Orion V buses wear the new green over white color scheme. Due to acceptance testing delays, TransIT operated for several weeks under a combination of the original TMC/Orion I fleet and three thirty foot Flxible Metro buses on loan from Maryland MTA. The MTA buses however were suburban models and lacked a rear exit door.

In 2001, TransIT ordered five Thomas Dennis SLF-230 low-floor buses (numbered 917–921). Service was announced and expanded before the new buses arrived due to a delivery delay from the builder. Rather than delay service for 13 months, five small front engine used Spartan/Champion "Breadboxes" (re-badged, Goshen "Transette" buses) were purchased for short term use. The breadbox buses were used for the old "FLEX" routes, which supplemented the connector routes. The low-floor Thomas buses arrived in 2002 and the breadboxes stayed in service until the last ones were sold in 2010.

Due to increase service demand, several more used Breadboxes were purchased later the same year. All of the breadboxes arrived with front entry doors and a rear wheelchair lift at the very back end of the coach. However, the first order had black banding around the windows while the second order did not.

Current fleet
In 2003, TransIT purchased seven new standard Orion V models (numbers 922–928) with an additional seven delivered in 2004 (numbered 060–066). In 2005, the old Frederick City Transit—number 204 was sold, ending the era of the Frederick City Transit blue over white colors.

In March 2010, TransIT bought six new Gillig Advantage buses that have replaced the aging 300-series acquired when TransIT formed in the early 1990s. These buses have a simplified stripe which does not slope up over the windows on to the roofline at the rear of the bus.

Two additional Gillig Advantage low floor buses arrived, purchased with federal grants, the new buses sport a different paint livery and are the first hybrid buses in the system. These buses have a battery pack on the roof and use a Cummins ISB engine.

TransIT took bids in late 2013 to replace the five SLF400 buses nearing their service life. In 2015, TransIT placed an order for five re-manufactured, Gillig Advantage all-electric buses from Complete Coach Works (CCW). The new buses are numbered 779-783 and entered revenue service on June 1, 2016.

In 2018, TransIT acquired six new hybrid buses split between two deliveries of ElDorado National E-Z Rider II buses to replace older high floor buses that were removed from service due to reliability issues or accident damage. The first batch of three buses 956-958 entered service in July 2018, while the second group 122-124 entered service in October 2018.

In late 2019, TransIT began receiving four new K7M thirty-foot buses from Chinese builder BYD. The first of these buses began testing in March, before finally entering revenue service in July. As of December 2020, all four buses, 364-367 have been accepted and are now in service replacing the last few remaining Orion V buses from the 2005 order.

A temporary bus, #959, a Champion Defender, thirty-foot bus was acquired used to make up a shortfall in the roster until new buses on order arrive in mid-2021 to begin replacing the 2010 Gillig Advances buses which are now at the end of their usable service life. These buses are being retired early due to service reliability issues.

Routes
TransIT routes are ten based, with the first digit designated to the part of the city/county the bus runs outbound to.
10 line buses operate from outside of downtown. 20 line routes run south Frederick, while 40 line buses serve the west end of the city. 50 line routes serve the west-to-southwest areas along the Jefferson Street corridor and Patrick Street sharing much of the same route as 40 line buses. 60 line routes serve the north end. 80 line routes serve the north end to the northwest side of the city including Ft. Detrick and the Yellow Springs area.

Routes that end in one (e.g. 51) run on an alternative route from their zero based counterpart. These routes began service in 2013.

One anomaly to the routing is the number 65 Walkersville Connector; so designated as an in-fill route after all available route numbers in the ten based system were in-use when the route began in 2011.

Currently there are no 30 or 70 line routes in service.

During peak hours, starting in 2014, the number 20, 40, 50, 51 and 60 buses run every half-hour. These buses are designated with a P after the route number denoting it is a peak hour, extra bus. Example, the number 50 bus may show as the 50P.

Discontinued routes
In early 1994, the Red, Blue and White routes from the Frederick City Transit were discontinued. The Red Route was replaced by the #50, the Blue Route was replaced by the #40 and the White Route was replaced by the #60.

In August 2012, Route 30 was disconnected replaced by the new 50/51 routes. Route 70, Midtown Connector was replaced by the new 60/61 route.

An unlicensed driver in a 1993 Honda Accord tried to pass a car going eastbound on Highway 46 and struck the 2010 Mini Cooper occupied by firefighter Christopher Stubendorf, 34, of Paso Robles and his father, Richard Stubendorf, 61, of Scotts Valley.
Stubendorf suffered two broken legs and a broken arm. His father suffered a broken arm and facial fracture.
The brother of the unnamed Honda driver was a few cars ahead and turned around after he saw the crash. He helped the unlicensed Latino male in his 50s from the Honda, collected his luggage and fled the scene.
He transported his brother who had suffered a serrated spleen, third degree burns, fractured legs and a 9-inch laceration to his head to a hospital in Indio, 300 miles away.
California Highway Patrol officers are investigating the accident.
BTW, This is a sincere question.
Can an unlicensed driver obtain car insurance of any kind? So, someone here illegally can NOT be issued a drivers license and therefore can NOT obtain insurance? Or, maybe insurance could be obtained despite these barriers, but, at a premium cost? Someone in the business with a factual answer for me?
Without a driver license s an incomplete application that cannot be processed.
Even if you have $35,000 to post as a cash bond to satisfy DMV, it cannot be processed without a DL number!
If memory serves me, during the last year of Gray Davis tenure, there was a legislative proposal to allow all illegal aliens to get a driver license primarily so they can drive insured.
It opened a big can of worms both ways ranging from self-implication to government (taxpayer) liability.
The proposal faded bitterly in the night.
Other related laws: Under the civil code then and now, the first responsibility is the driver, when the driver cannot be found, the registered owner shall bear responsibility, the only exemption if s/he reports his/her car stolen.
An insurance company can also op NOT to honor the insured if it involves an act of God, Terrorism or serious crime.
No difference than leaving a serious injured victim for dead.
He almost made it to Mexico. Starting to get it?
Another unlicensed, uninsured, undocumented driver I'm certain. Too bad for those involved as they will see no financial remuneration for their pain and suffering.
Not alot of protection, those Mini Coopers. Do MC owners really think accidents will never happen to them???
You could say that about any motor vehicle, mini-cooper, motorcycle, etc. An inexperienced, unlicensed driver pulled a stupid move. Stupid is as stupid does.
"The brother of the unnamed Honda driver was a few cars ahead and turned around after he saw the crash. He helped the unlicensed Latino male in his 50s from the Honda, collected his luggage and fled the scene." I hope he and his accomplice are found.
There are no words to express my thoughts at this minute other than to say we are fighting foreign wars and just look around our homeland, DAILY!

2011 interview with cellist János Starker
Two years before his death on 28 April 2013, János Starker gave a 20-minute interview to fellow cellist and educator Laurinel Owen at the Kronberg Academy, covering a wide range of topics regarding playing, teaching, and his own career.
Read more about the Kronberg Academy in our German-focused April issue, available for download here
At 3:50 Laurinel Owen refers to an incident that occurred in Vienna in 1946, when Starker was 22. As recounted in his memoir, The World of Music According to Starker:
'Schubert's Arpeggione was on the programme. The only version I knew of it was Cassadó's concerto transcription, with the piano reduction. The concert went well, and I was applauded and paid. But the next day a review appeared that was among the most memorable of my life, and which greatly affected my future.
'The gist of it was highly complimentary, but one sentence stated that I played as if sleepwalking. I realised that there was truth in it. A few days later I attended a concert where Yehudi Menuhin played, and I was shocked… his sound was cramped, and his breathing was audible at the back of the hall. He was struggling. I couldn't sleep for days. How could this happen to a miraculous child prodigy? And if it could, then it could happen to me as well. Was I a sleepwalker? Did I really know what I was doing? I began a lifelong effort to learn everything I could about every aspect of instrumental playing and music making.'

My deputy tried to unseat me even though I paid him N13m monthly —Akeredolu
Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, on Thursday opened up on his frosty relationship with his deputy, Agboola Ajayi.
The duo's poor relationship forced the embattled deputy governor to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in July.
He later defected to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) after failing to secure the PDP ticket for the October 10 governorship election in the state.
Akeredolu, who featured in a Radio personality programme in Akure, the state capital, said he gave Ajayi a "free hand" to operate in his government but he later betrayed him.
He claimed that the deputy governor attempted to unseat him.
The governor also insisted that Ajayi was the highest-paid deputy governor in the country.
Akeredolu, however, said he was ready to forgive all his detractors.
He said: "l ensured that Ajayi was well paid in order to make him comfortable in office despite all warnings from different quarters that he should not entrust Ajayi with power.
"Ajayi does not want to wait for his time. I made him comfortable. I asked him to represent me in so many places but some people were warning me, I said they should leave him alone.
"No deputy governor has collected what he was collecting in the history of the state. I gave him N13million monthly. His predecessors did not collect as much as that.

"No deputy governor collects as much as that in Nigeria. I gave him enough room to operate yet he betrayed me."
He also said his predecessor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, was envious of his achievement.
Akeredolu added: "There are things that create envy in a persons' mind. I believe Mimiko is jealous of me and does not want anyone to equal his achievements. But I will equal and surpass him.
"We have been doing our best for this state. All the abandoned projects of the past administration had been completed.
"We have rehabilitated and constructed over 700 primary schools in this state.
"We have improved our education system. We have received a loan to complete the abandoned Owena Water Project. We will do it.
"We are also working five dams. There are so many things in our plans to do for the state."

An internal CDC e-mail sent by Frumkin on Jan. 15 and obtained by ProPublica said he was leaving his position that day and would become a special assistant to the CDC's director of Climate Change and Public Health. His old job will be temporarily filled by Henry Falk, who led ATSDR from 2003 to 2005. In the e-mail, Frumkin praised his staff and described more than 20 ATSDR accomplishments during his tenure. They include strengthening the agency's tobacco laboratory and creating the Climate Change and Public Health program.
A CDC spokesman said Frumkin's transfer shouldn't be considered a demotion but rather a change of function and responsibilities that the CDC's director, Dr. Thomas Frieden, said would benefit both the agency and Dr. Frumkin, who is a recognized expert on climate change. But Frumkin's authority has been sharply reduced, even though his salary won't change. Previously, he oversaw two departments with a combined budget of about $264 million and 746 full-time employees. Now he will be an assistant to the director of a new program that has a budget of about $7.5 million, five full-time employees and five contractors, two of whom are part time. Through a CDC spokesman, Frumkin declined a request to be interviewed for this story.
In 2008, ProPublica reported  that Frumkin and others failed to take action after learning that ATSDR botched a study  on the trailers provided to Katrina victims. The Federal Emergency Management Agency used the study to assure trailer occupants that the formaldehyde levels weren't high enough to harm them. ATSDR never corrected FEMA, even though Christopher De Rosa, who led ATSDR's toxicology and environmental medicine division, repeatedly warned Frumkin that the report didn't take into account the long-term health consequences of exposure to formaldehyde, like cancer risks. Frumkin eventually reassigned De Rosa to the newly created position of assistant director for toxicology and risk analysis. De Rosa went from leading a staff of about 70 employees to having none. He has since left the agency and is starting a nonprofit that will consult with communities close to environmental hazards.
For example, an ATSDR report about water contamination at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, said the chemically tainted drinking water didn't pose an increased cancer risk to residents there. The report was used to deny at least one veteran's medical benefits for ailments that the veteran believed were related to the contamination. A month after the subcommittee hearing, ATSDR rescinded  some of its findings, saying it didn't adequately consider the presence of benzene, a carcinogen that it found in the water. Eight months later, the agency said it would modify another report that was criticized at the hearing, about a bomb testing site in Vieques, Puerto Rico. For decades, the U.S. military used the site to test ammunition that contained depleted uranium and other toxins. In a 2003 report, ATSDR said that heavy metals and explosive compounds found on Vieques weren't harmful to people living there. But Frumkin decided to take a fresh look at those findings because ATSDR hadn't thoroughly investigated the site.


In the week beginning 11th March,, we recognised British Science Week. Throughout the school, classes carried out fun investigations, such as: making parachutes out of different materials, constructing an erupting volcano and making slime. Each class also carried out research around a famous person in the field of science, technology, engineering or maths. All of the staff and children thoroughly enjoyed carrying out their experiments and look forward to continuing to develop their investigative skills in their science lessons this year!
Friday 18th January was the last day of Cool to be Kind week which was a great success. Children were even kinder and more helpful than usual and achieved stickers for their actions. Well done everyone!
In the week beginning 21st May, many of our children took part in Walk to School Week and as a result of this have earnt stickers, which will be converted to house points for their team. They have also been rewarded with a packet of sunflower seeds for taking part in the challenge. Thank you for supporting us in Walk to School week and we hope that you and your children have enjoyed the many benefits of a daily walk.

Saša Fuis POGLED unstaged.
Location: Galerija
Venue: Galerija
The exhibition is open from 21. maj 2021 to 31. oktober 2021
The photographer Saša Fuis, who lives in Cologne, this time introduces himself to the hometown audience with the latest selection of photographs from the Pogled Unstaged cycle. The title of the exhibition is certainly directly related to the declared content of the cycle. Above all, this term refers to the photographer's creative approach, the essence of which is based on the principle of intuitive, in the ability to capture the fraction of a second he felt as a photographer without any intervention, in a physical sense, which unequivocally defines his authorial and conceptual punctuation.
The photographs, which were taken over a period of eight years, represent a photographic capturing of the street in terms of content. In the photographs, the author immortalizes prosaic scenes created in Europe and in the capitals of the world where he traveled because of his profession and his photography. Recorded genre scenes are, no matter how insignificant or everyday they seem at first glance, mainly because of the author's approach in a formal technical sense and because of its message, emotional, subjective expression thus placed in the immediacy of artistic speech, which is sovereign and convincing. Above all, the author, as a truly sensitive observer, summarizes them in suggestive starting points, receptive to diverse interpretations and semantic emphases.
The exhibition also includes a rich catalog with reproduced photographs and texts by curator Katarina Dajčman and Dr. D. W. Dörrbecker (the original German text can be downloaded here).

National Bank of Fujairah has announced a strategic partnership with the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) Fujairah through which it will sponsor and train handpicked Emirati students for banking careers upon graduation. The sponsorship initiative, NBF's second partnership with HCT Fujairah, further underscores the bank's commitment to the Fujairah community as well as the country's Emiratisation efforts.
Under the programme, NBF will pay monthly stipends to select fourth year students and expose them to the bank's business operations during their school holidays. They are committed to work with NBF upon graduation and are expected to maintain good grades throughout their fourth and final year of study, thereby assuring NBF with a ready pool of fresh talent from which to help grow its business.
Four students will be selected for the programme's inaugural cohort, and their internships will be individually tailored to provide them with an overview of the bank's key business areas and critical departments, from corporate and institutional banking, retail banking to finance and information technology.
NBF's partnership with HCT Fujairah follows the bank's donation of AED 250,000 to the college last year for the purchase of laptops and iPads for its needy students.
At the sidelines of the Fujairah Career Fair, of which the bank is a key participant, NBF's Head of HR Abdulla Aleter said that the programme is specifically catered to developing human capital within the bank's home base of Fujairah; whilst the bank's overall Emiratisation ratio is close to 41%, almost two-thirds, or 63% of its staff in Fujairah are Emirati Nationals.
"NBF has long enjoyed a strong relationship with HCT Fujairah because of the faith we both share in our youth's capacity for great things.
"We are confident that this latest programme will set a new benchmark in the private sector's outreach efforts to Emiratis in Fujairah and the greater UAE. It will also bolster NBF's continuing investment in a cadre of high-quality local talent aimed at helping the bank achieve further success."
Brian Keenan, Acting Director of HCT-Fujairah, said that the high academic standards and extensive on-the-job training expected from the programme will ensure that trainees are better prepared for the rigours - and rewards - of a career in the financial services.
"We are delighted to continue our partnership with the National Bank of Fujairah as we strive to unleash the potential inherent in our country's youth. The partnership opens the door for our students to establish careers in one of the leading local banks in the UAE. We look forward to further strengthening ties with NBF in the years ahead."
NBF's latest collaboration with HCT Fujairah is an extension of the bank's recruitment efforts, which include an ongoing management trainee programme that fast tracks Emiratis for leadership positions and a career advancement programme singling out long-time local staff for advancement.


IN THE rush of preparations leading up to the implementation of the General Health System (GHS), reasonable questions emerge with regards to the socioeconomic impact of this whole effort. The public's concerns intensified following data published by the Association of Cyprus Insurance Companies, which presented an increase in the turnover of the private health insurance sector for 2019. A reasonable explanation for this increase appears to be the considerable uncertainty about the GHS and its extended structures, which has increased due to the public disagreements between stakeholders.
The newly established health system will be mainly funded by the contributions, which have already started being paid from the 1st of March 2019, and will be increased on the 1st of March 2020, when the system will be fully implemented. The categories of contributors include employees, employers, the state, the self-employed, pensioners, income earners, government officials and persons responsible for the payment of remuneration to government. The contributions of employees, employers and self-employed citizens, which make up the majority officials of the contributions of the private sector, have been determined at 1.70 per cent, 1.85 per cent, and 2.55 per cent respectively for 2019, while in 2020 they will be increased to 2.65 per cent, 2.90 per cent and 4 per cent respectively.
As can be seen by the above, the implementation of the GHS will bring about significant changes for employees and businesses, causing a chain reaction and potentially affecting the entire Cypriot economy. These contributions will cause an immediate increase in the average cost per employee for the employer, while they will also simultaneously decrease the net income of the employees. Specifically, businesses that already offer health insurance coverage through private insurance companies will face a serious dilemma on whether they should continue providing private health insurance plans to their employees or not. Specifically, since the public debate and clashes in relation to the GHS continue, employers and employees are still uncertain about whether they should discontinue their private health insurance plans.
In the case where employers choose to continue providing private health insurance, the net income of their employees will be potentially reduced; either because they will pay the whole amount of the premium (whereas usually in the past, the employer covered half of the employee's premium, with the employee covering the remaining half) to private insurance companies, or because of a potential salary decrease equal to the employer's compulsory contribution to the GHS.
Additionally, those who wish to continue with private insurance, in order to offer complementary coverage through their companies, they will likely be burdened with additional taxes through the PAYE system. This may occur because private health insurance plans may be considered as a 'Benefit in Kind', when offered selectively and on an exceptional basis to only some of the company's employees, given that health coverage will be available through the GHS.
At the same time, the competent authorities should also clarify another point: the clause requiring employers to submit a private health insurance certificate for third-country nationals as well as EU nationals with A1 certificates, whom they wish to employ in Cyprus. This clause clashes with the present legislation, which stipulates that everyone must contribute to the GHS.
Without a doubt, the GHS is a social necessity. Each modern state, in the context of its social policy, must offer its citizens equal access to high-quality healthcare services. The skilful management of the new health system by the competent bodies and the timely identification of serious issues, such as those mentioned above, are of paramount importance for the successful implementation of the system.

Why Donald Trump May Be the Most Pro-Religion President We've Ever Had
5:15PM EDT 10/18/2018	 Stephen Strang
Christian leaders praying over Trump in 2016 (Reuters)
Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, was one of the first evangelicals to support Trump's presidency. He still often articulates many of the views evangelicals across the country share in regards to what's going on in our country and this president.
When I interviewed Jeffress for my new book, Trump Aftershock, he told me that "Donald Trump may not be our most religious president, but he's the most pro-religion president in recent memory."
And Jeffress is right—Trump isn't very religious. It's true that he was raised a Presbyterian and was influenced by Norman Vincent Peale, as I detail in my first political book, God and Donald Trump, but most of his adult life, Trump was anything but a Christian. Yet 10 to 15 years ago, something began to change. He started watching Christian television late at night and began reaching out to some of these ministries, like Paula White-Cain's.
I think that at that time, something began to stir in him to think about what he was going to do with the rest of his life. And of course, his election was an absolute miracle. It was an earthquake that nobody saw coming. In fact, that imagery gave me the idea for Trump Aftershock. Throughout the book, I highlight Trump's successes and accomplishments since becoming president—all of which I call the aftershocks to the earthquake of his election.
In one of the chapters in my book called "Shaking the Church," I share a LifeWay study that revealed 51 percent of Protestant senior pastors approve of how Trump has handled his job as president and 25 percent strongly approve.
Even more interesting is that 86 percent of Pentecostal pastors approve of Trump's performance, followed by 68 of Baptist pastors. The denomination least likely to approve of Trump is Methodism, of which only 25 percent of pastors agree Trump has handled his presidency well.
The high approval rate among pastors, especially Pentecostals, should come as no surprise to America. Trump made promises to evangelical Christians during his campaign, and he's kept many of them so far. For example, he's appointed two very conservative judges to the Supreme Court. He's proved himself to be a fierce proponent of religious liberty, to the point of punishing Turkey with sanctions until they released American pastor Andrew Brunson.
Trump is also one of the most pro-life presidents we've had, as Dr. James Dobson told me as I interviewed him for the book. Trump has furthermore stood for other issues that aren't necessarily "Christian issues" but are still important to Christians, such as having a healthy economy and a strong military.
I think you'll appreciate the way I document these achievements in my new book. I back up my research with 37 pages of end notes so you can see the evidence for yourself.
What Trump Has in Common With Winston Churchill and Gen. Patton
How Trump Honors Evangelicals More Than Any Democratic or Republican President Before Him
Jeffress offered this comment when he read Trump Aftershock: "I'm glad my friend Stephen Strang has written this book, Trump Aftershock, which sets the record straight on the achievements of the Trump administration and the very real opposition he faces. Stephen is not only an author; he's a journalist who heads up a Christian media company we can trust as a source of news that affects our daily lives. We need more voices like Stephen's who are unafraid to speak the truth. Don't believe the lies of the mainstream media. Get the facts from trusted Christian sources such as Stephen Strang, Charisma News and books such as this. Our president is shaking things up. He needs our support. It's time for all of us to become informed, stand united and call for an end to the witch hunt investigations, fake news and hateful rhetoric of those whose agenda is to bring an end to this president and turn our great nation away from God."

Nintendo has revised its financial forecast for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, predicting a net loss of 65 billion yen ($837 million). In October, it had forecast a net loss of only 20 billion yen ($258 million).
"We had higher expectations for the year-end season, but failed to meet them," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told reporters in Osaka, Japan, according to a Reuters report.
Although Nintendo 3DS had a rocky start, Nintendo stuck to its original forecast of 16 million units during the fiscal year on the back of a drastic price cut and the back-to-back releases of killer app software Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.
While this did stimulate sales, it didn't have the effect Nintendo expected and the company revised down its forecast to 14 million 3DS units this fiscal year.
Nintendo also revised down its expectations for Nintendo DS and Wii hardware sales this year, from 6 million to 5.5 million and from 12 million to 10 million, respectively.
