Baby S has spent most of the last month in wonder weeks leap 7…. and you can tell. We're a bit all over the place with routine, milk and sleep, and he's been a bit up and down grouchy wise!
At the start of the month he was teething quite bad too and we had a couple of bad nights where nothing would settle him and we were awake for hours! Overall he's been ok though… leap 7 is all about them learning sequences and we can see that in action now… he'll drop something over the side of his high chair and then look down to see what's happened to it!
It has a nice feel to it from arrival, the outside is full of plants and flowers and as you walk into the lobby you see beautiful Moroccan details like light fittings, tiles etc.
I'm not long back from a wonderful few days away in the amazing Marrakesh – I had to share it with you, it was such a nice break! I'd visited once before, for a night, about 10 years ago and it was great to go back and explore it some more… and do a lot of chilling….
I'm sitting on a plane in my way to 4 child-free days in Marrakesh with my sister and her friend… can not wait!
I love travelling alone. 8 years ago I went backpacking by myself around South East Asia and Australia. It was such a big adventure. It seemed like a huge challenge at the time.
It's the sense of anticipation. For your own journey… but also for everyone else's. Where's everyone going? What are their stories?
Always such a mix of people, I love wondering where the journey is taking them. For me, a plane ride usually involves a holiday… ideally a different culture to try out… delicious foods, thirst-quenching beers, amazing architecture, a chance to chill, take it all in…. breathe.
I feel like travel is a huge privilege that everyone should want to try. I'm always a bit baffled by people who don't want to travel. Or who can't travel on their own.
But likewise plenty of people think I'm strange for having travelled by myself!
I love the feeling of independence that comes with flying/travelling on my own. I had some lonely days on my backpacking days but I also made some friends for life.
I love the excitement of new places, new cities to explore.
I love airports, even when they're rubbish and I hate them… I still love them…. again, it's the people, the journeys. Oh the nights I've spent sleeping in airports… Kuala Lumpur… staying up all night drinking in airports waiting for early morning flights… Hong Kong… Bangkok.
bought a Snuzpod co-sleeper cot (c£200) – seemingly an absolute essential according to parenting bloggers!
bought a Sleepyhead bed nest thing (c£120) – I had heard of these when W was a few months old – hadn't read one bad review – this was THE thing to get babies to sleep through!
dug out W's sleeping aids – Ewan the dream sheep (c£30) and the tranquil turtle (C£40) and of course spent a fortune on batteries for them!

Q: A problem on neighbourhood bases of a metric space Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $ a \in X $. If $\{a\}$ is not open, then show that any neighbourhood base of $a$ is infinite.

A: Suppose that $\{a\}$ is not open, and also that $a$ has a finite neighbourhood base, say $U_1,\ldots,U_k$ for some $k$.
As every $U_i$ is open and contains $a$, there are $r_i > 0$ such that $B(a,r_i) \subset U_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,k$.
Then define $r_0 = \min(r_1,\ldots,r_k) > 0$. (Here we use the finiteness: the minimum exists and is still positive.) We know by assumption that $\{a\} \neq B(a,r_0)$ (or $\{a\}$ is open) so there is some $b \neq a$ with $d(a,b) < r_0$ (which is then a point in  all $B(a, r_i)$ and thus in all $U_i$). Let $s = d(a,b) > 0$.
Then $B(a,s)$ is open, and does not contain $b$ by construction, while all $U_i$ do contain $b$, as we saw. So no $U_i$ exists with $U_i \subset B(a,s)$, so the $U_i$ do not form a neighbourhood base at $a$, and this is a contradiction. So there can be no finite neighbourhood base as required.

A: A metric space is $T_1$, meaning that for each two points $x,y\in X$ there is an open set $U$ containing $x$ but not $y$. Equivalently, every point is the intersection of all of its neighborhoods. But intersecting all neighborhoods of a point gives the same as intersecting all elements of a neighborhood base. So if $x$ had a finite neighborhood base, the singleton $\{x\}$ would be a neighborhood of $x$.

A: Hint: If $U$ is any open set containing the set $\{a\}$ then there is a $r > 0$ such that $B(a;r) \subset U$. Now, if you had a finite number of open sets forming a neighbourhood basis for $a$, then what about the open ball strictly inside the intersection of those finitely many open sets?

Claudia has a doubtful / worried / lost expression: The driver facing sensors track the driver's facial expressions and eye movements to understand their underlying emotions. Specifically, the eye-tracking module (TOB) and the expression-monitoring module (NV) will report to the Central Unit (HRMN IVI system). From doubtful or puzzled expressions, the system can infer that the driver might need further or more detailed navigation instructions and help in order to reach her destination. The FANCI system will communicate this level of alarm to the virtual assistant (HRMN) which will trigger the navigation system to give more detailed vocal driving instructions. For example, it could be useful for the driver to have: a) more accurate locations of road intersections, b) more accurate numbers of kilometres to the next turn, c) suggested vehicle speed.
Claudia has a confident expression: The system keeps direction to a minimum, so not to interrupt the driver's music and to let her enjoy the ride.
Directions only when the driver missed a sign: In another case, Claudia can specify the final destination but choose that the navigation system will not provide full turn by turn directions.. In this case the system monitors the driver's eye gaze and the direction signs posted on the road, (leveraging an outward facing sensor), and provides direction instructions to the driver only when she fails to look at a relevant sign.

BEIJING • For more than a minute on Tuesday, nine-digit numbers were displayed across the facade of Hong Kong's tallest skyscraper, the International Commerce Centre.
The seemingly innocuous numbers contained a subversive statement. The animation is a countdown of the seconds to when the "one country, two systems" framework - a guarantee that Hong Kong would keep its civil liberties and a high degree of autonomy for 50 years after its return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997 - is set to expire.
"We hope to deliver this work to illustrate the biggest anxiety of the Hong Kong people," said Mr Sampson Wong, who created the animation with artist Jason Lam. They planned the display to coincide with Chinese leader Zhang Dejiang's three-day visit to Hong Kong.
Mr Wong said he and Mr Lam got the countdown project approved by submitting it as part of a longer, mostly apolitical, digital animation.
The work is scheduled to be shown until June 22. But Mr Wong said he feared it would be cancelled once its meaning became widely known.

Swiss financial watchdog finds $90 million initial coin offering illegal
LONDON (Reuters) – The Swiss financial watchdog said on Wednesday the firm behind a $90 million initial coin offering (ICO) took money illegally from investors, highlighting a readiness by regulators to apply traditional market rules to cryptocurrency-related fundraising.

Swiss firm Envion AG, which is now in liquidation, accepted more than 90 million Swiss francs ($91 million) from at least 37,000 investors in exchange for bond-like tokens issued without a license, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) said in a statement.
FINMA said the conditions under which the tokens were issued were not equal for all investors; that the prospectuses did not meet minimum requirements; and that Envion did not have an internal audit arm – a legal requirement.
Envion's former chief executive Matthias Woestmann said in a statement that a FINMA report, which has not been made public, said investigators could not find any misappropriation of funds, and that it was evident there had been no intention to damage investors.
"There was no misappropriation of assets," he said.
Policymakers around the world have wrestled with how to craft legal frameworks for ICOs and so-called security token offerings (STOs) – where tokens with features akin to traditional securities are sold.
The new forms of fundraising have allowed start-ups founded on cryptocurrency technologies such as blockchain to quickly raise capital by issuing virtual tokens or coins. But the risk of fraud and lack of transparency about who owns cryptocurrencies have made regulators wary.
Some states, like Switzerland, have moved to treat ICOs as securities, applying rules used for traditional capital markets. That means a step up in regulation for many projects, subjecting them to trading laws and detailed disclosure requirements, and offering protection to investors.
Other countries, like China and India, have banned ICOs altogether. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last year deemed that some ICOs could count as securities.
Switzerland has become a global leader in ICOs and STOs. Six of the biggest 15 ICOs and STOs since 2016 have taken place in the country, according to PwC.
Last year, the worldwide number of successful ICOs and STOs more than doubled to over 1,130 from a year earlier, PwC said.
As FINMA investigated Envion, a court in the Zug canton – known as "Crypto Valley" for its concentration of virtual coin-related firms, opened bankruptcy proceedings against the firm over "organizational shortcomings".
As a result, FINMA said, further measures against the firm were not necessary.

This post is a mash-up of two recipes from books currently sitting on my bench. Like many people reading cookbooks – specifically, baking books that consist mostly of sweet bakes, rather than bread – is my Thing.
I get sent heaps of cook books in my Day Job and I borrow masses from the library so my house always looks like an outpost of the Amazon warehouse.
Getting quite a workout is Margaret Fulton Baking: before Donna Hay there was Margaret Fulton, the queen of Australian baking. This woman, who I had the pleasure of meeting a few years ago, is such a powerhouse of cooking and is still passionate about teaching people to cook real food. The cake is from her book.
The other hot fave is the new Naked Cakes by Lyndel Miller. So many lovely recipes, all gorgeously styled and the syrup is from here.
I reduced the sugar in the cake as there is plenty of sugar in the syrup.
200g blueberries – frozen is fine.
Preheat oven to 180C and grease a 22cm round lose-bottomed tart tin.
In a large bowl stir together flour and sugar then add eggs, milk, rind, juice and butter – stir until combined.
Scrape into tin and top with half the blueberries, bake for 20 minutes.
Scatter over remaining berries then bake for another 20 minutes.
Allow to cool for half an hour before tipping over the syrup – you may not need all the syrup but it will keep in a clean container in the fridge for at least a week.
Place all ingredients in small saucepan and over a low heat, stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil then immediately reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes – you want a thick, soup-like consistency. Take off heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling over cake.
I also love the mix of blueberries and oranges .. yum ..
Thanks. The Hungry Dad took this cake to work so I didn't get to taste it but apparently it got rave reviews.
I can't believe you let this cake escape the house without diving into it by the fistfuls. Such a heady combination of fruit and spirit, I would not be able to wave farewell to such an edible piece of perfection.
Definitely going on my 'must make' list!
I know – I am a martyr to the cake cause! I actually made it to take to my office but then Miss7 was sick and I didn;t go to work. I would have def snaffled a peace then!
Blueberry, orange, and rum – all wholesome stuff.
Blueberries, orange and rum – what a great combination!
Saw the words 'rum syrup' and rushed over! 🙂 Lovely cake!
Definitely a delicious mash-up, loving anything with alcohol…. because I love things boozy!
I love everything in this cake! Yummy!
You had me at 'rum syrup'!
Looks like the perfect combo! I need a piece of this gorgeous cake!
Thanks Pamela! I love baking with citrus, the aroma as it cooks is gorge!
Looks delish! And I love the cutlery there! Very vintage and classy!
Thanks so much Marie 🙂 My cookbook collection is seriously out of control _ i need to cull it!


Retailers are focusing their physical presences on offering excellent customer service and curation of products, said panelists at a ULI Colorado event in Denver. The event itself was held at the Dairy Block, an example of new retail projects that are animating both commercial and public spaces with experimental and experiential places for people to shop, eat, drink, be entertained, and find community.
With the convenience and increasingly experiential process of shopping online, how can retail stores and malls compete? Thriving brands are combining their online and brick-and-mortar experiences to keep foot traffic high and regenerating communities.
At the ULI Japan Spring Conference 2018, panelists discussed how Japan's malls can reinvigorate themselves with culture and content. Retail in Japan has not suffered as badly as elsewhere from the effects of online shopping, but the industry is concerned that malls need to offer more to retain customers.

Retail developers who gathered at the 2018 ULI Florida Summit talked about what is working and what isn't, as they shift their focus to more entertainment and dining amenities combined with mixed use from the traditional strip centers of the recent past.
At a ULI Triangle event in April, representatives of North Carolina's Capitol Broadcasting Company shared the firm's plans to redevelop a historic cotton mill, ultimately shifting the fortunes of the town of Rocky Mount.

Silverthorne knife attacker with criminal past sentenced to 3 years in prison
Crime and Public Safety | April 24, 2017
Jack Queen
jqueen@summitdaily.com
Dylan Haas, 23, was sentenced to three years in prison for a 2015 brawl near Silverthorne during which he slashed a victim with a kitchen knife.
File photo |
They could have just left when they were asked to and not come back. Instead, prosecutors say, 23-year-old Dylan Haas and a group of his friends returned with a posse to the birthday party they were asked to leave near Silverthorne on the night of Nov. 14, 2015, kicked in the door and started a brawl with the occupants.
On Monday, April 24, Haas was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in the fracas, during which he is said to have slashed the apartment's owner with a kitchen knife, causing a 6-inch laceration across his chest and three more cuts on his arms.
"He has no impulse control and he has no ability to conform to the rules imposed by the court," prosecutor Johnny Lombardi said, arguing for a six-year sentence. "My concern is that when he acts, he involves other people in his criminal conduct. … The influence this young man has is bad."
In Lombardi's telling, Haas has built up a lengthy rap sheet and has been charged with numerous criminal counts, including charges for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old in Illinois.
Haas was originally charged with 15 counts related to the knife incident, including attempted second-degree murder. A judge dropped that charge last January, and Haas eventually pleaded guilty to menacing, trespassing and weapons possession with a previous juvenile offense, all felonies.
His conduct since that initial arrest didn't do him any favors at his sentencing hearing. In arguing against probation, Lombardi noted that Haas was arrested for driving under the influence in March and robbery last December, both of which were violations of his bond.
"Why, given his history, should we have any confidence that he would follow (probation terms)?" Lombardi asked. "He has fundamental issues so far beyond supervision, and he is an extraordinary threat to the local community."
According to an arrest affidavit, Haas entered a convenience store on the night of Dec. 30 with one of the same people who was involved in the Silverthorne brawl. Haas proceeded to converse with the clerk and distracted him while the friend stole five beers from a cooler in the back, the affidavit says.
"Mr. Haas is not beyond redemption, but he does have a history," public defender Reed Owens said, arguing for five years of probation without prison time. That was the recommendation of a pre-sentence report issued by the court, Owens said.
Haas asked District Court Judge Thompson for leniency, acknowledging his past transgressions but claiming that he had cleaned up his act.
"I made mistakes, yes, but I've improved, and I can do probation, sir," he said. "Prison is not where I need to be."
Judge Thompson, however, was not swayed, and Haas' extensive criminal history and repeated misconduct after his arrest ultimately outweighed his affability in the courtroom.
"Mr. Haas, you've always presented yourself as a polite and energetic person, and while it is tempting to accept your word and sentence you to probation, your past history does not speak to your ability to remain compliant with court orders," Judge Thompson said.
While the victim only suffered superficial cuts, Thompson said, the attack could have easily left him with more severe injuries or even killed him.
Haas was sentenced to three years in prison on each of the counts. Those will run concurrently, and Haas will face a mandatory two-year parole period, as well.
"The threat that this defendant poses to Summit County has abated for a time due to his being sentenced to prison," District Attorney Bruce Brown said in a news release. "While we disfavor sentencing a relatively young man to state prison, he has earned it."

Google VR Exhibit Invites Public Into Chauvet Cave
The Dawn of Art opens this significant site of usually inaccessible 36,000-year-old prehistoric art to the public via immersive tech.
The Chauvet Cave in Ardèche, France, is home to some of the most ancient human art ever known.
Discovered in 1994, the site, considered one of the world's most significant for prehistoric art, revolutionised our understanding of emerging human creativity.
The cave has been sealed off to the public since its discovery to preserve the fragile and irreplaceable art that has survived undisturbed for 36,000 years. Now, Google, partnering with Syndicat Mixte de la Grotte Chauvet, have launched The Dawn of Art, a VR experience that opens the site to the public.
Launched yesterday on the platform Stream VR, the 10-minute VR experience was executive-produced by Atlas V as part of an immersive project comprising a YouTube 360 Video, and an AR format, Pocket Gallery, which allows people to interactively explore the frescoes. The collection contains 54 curated exhibits and over 360 digitised assets to discover.
Actresses Daisy Ridley and Cécile de France provide narration in English and French, respectively, while experts provide commentary.

Ehrman, however, is not afraid of breaking rank with his fellow scholars and speaking the truth. In his new book, Forged: Writing in the name of God—Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are (HarperOne; April 2011), the New York Times bestselling author debunks many popular myths about the Bible's forged books and letters, including the idea that "writing in the name of another" was a common, accepted practice in antiquity. According to Ehrman, forgery was just as disgraceful then as it is today.
Posing the provocative argument that parts of the Bible contain intentional deceptions, and that some of its texts were deliberately and painstakingly crafted to further the agendas of Christians living after the apostles, Forged will again turn upside down what we "know" about the Bible.
Bart Ehrman is the author of more than twenty books, including the New York Times bestselling Misquoting Jesus, God's Problem, and Jesus, Interrupted. Ehrman is the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and is a leading authority on the Bible and the life of Jesus. He has been featured in Time and has appeared on NBC Dateline, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, CNN, History Channel, and other top media outlets. He lives in Durham, North Carolina.


According to the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC), the indigenous family was murdered "by armed men in uniform" in a shelter between Barbacoas and Tumaco. "It is not certain which group committed the slaughter. In this region there are paramilitaries, illegal groups and the security forces present," the secretary of ONIC, Luis Fernando Arias, told news agency EFE.
It has not been established whether the exact number of murdered indigenous is eight or ten since the bodies have not been recovered yet due to the unstable security situation.
The secretary of ONIC recounted the massacre in February when eight members of the same community were murdered and nine disappeared. Between then and the latest slaughter, eight other Awa indigenous were murdered.
15,000 Awa indigenous live in 21 shelters in the Nariño and Putumayo department. This community is one of the indigenous groups mostly affected by the violence in Colombia.

|AIWA! NO!|An 18-year-old Saudi woman who fled her family saying she feared for her life, is due to arrive in Canada on Saturday, after being granted asylum in the North American country.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday that Canada had accepted a request from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to take in Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun, who grabbed international attention earlier this week after she barricaded herself in a Bangkok airport hotel room to resist being sent home to her family, which denies any abuse.
"Canada is a country that understands how important it is to stand up for human rights, to stand up for women's rights around the world, and I can confirm that we have accepted the UN's request," Trudeau told reporters.
The decision is likely to exacerbate Canada's already poor relations with Saudi Arabia, which last year barred the Canadian ambassador to Riyadh after Ottawa criticised Saudi authorities for detaining female activists.
Alqunun had arrived in Bangkok on January 5 and was initially denied entry, but she soon started posting messages on Twitter from the transit area of Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport saying she had "escaped Kuwait" and her life would be in danger if forced to return to Saudi Arabia.
Following a 48-hour standoff at Bangkok airport, some of it barricaded in a transit lounge hotel room, she was allowed to enter Thailand and was then processed as a refugee by the UNHCR.
The UNHCR welcomed Canada's decision and also acknowledged Thailand had given Alqunun a temporary refuge.READ MORE

"Ms Alqunun's plight has captured the world's attention over the past few days, providing a glimpse into the precarious situation of millions of refugees worldwide," UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a statement.
Alqunun has accused her family of abuse and has refused to meet her father and brother who arrived in Bangkok to take her back to Saudi Arabia.
"It was her wish to go to Canada," Thailand's immigration chief Surachate Hakparn told reporters. "She still refuses to meet with her father and brother, and they are going to be travelling back tonight as well … They are disappointed."
Her case has drawn global attention to Saudi Arabia's strict social rules, including a requirement that women have the permission of a male "guardian" to travel, which rights groups say can trap women and girls as prisoners of abusive families.
A Korean Air flight carrying Alqunun left Bangkok for Seoul on Friday night at 11:37pm local time (16:37 GMT), an airport official told Reuters news agency.
Putting the spat between Saudi Arabia and Canada in context
by Bill Law
Alqunun was expected to board a connecting flight to Toronto from Seoul's Incheon airport before arriving in Canada on Saturday morning.
Trudeau brushed off a question as to whether Canada's move might make it harder to repair ties with Saudi Arabia.
"Canada has been unequivocal that we will always stand up for human rights and women's rights around the world," he said.
Amid increasing domestic political pressure, Trudeau said last month that his Liberal government was looking for a way out of a multibillion-dollar arms deal with Riyadh.
Alqunun's flight has emerged at a time when Riyadh is facing unusually intense scrutiny from its Western allies over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October and over the humanitarian consequences of its war in Yemen.
Canada has repeatedly said Khashoggi's murder was unacceptable and has demanded a full explanation.

This Week in Fiction
Susan Choi on How Much She Can Leave Out
By Deborah Treisman
Photograph by Igor Vidyashev / ZUMA / Alamy
Your story in this week's issue, "Flashlight," revolves around a ten-year-old girl, Louisa, who has lived through the trauma of losing a parent. The adults around her are desperate for her to confront her grief. Are her resistance and her "bad" behavior a defense mechanism against that?
I think that's fair to say, although I think it might be equally fair to say that, for Louisa, resisting adults and behaving badly have come to seem like perfectly rational responses to a world that makes no inherent sense. Perhaps the extremity of trauma isn't even a necessary ingredient. Louisa knows that certain behaviors are labelled "good," others "bad," but—for reasons that may include trauma or that may not—the labels have lost meaning for her.
Do you think the adults have failed Louisa? Or is she failing herself?
That's such a fascinating question. Right away, it turns into another question for me: Is it even possible for young children to fail themselves? I'm always fascinated by the interplay of agency and power with children and young people. They do have agency, and the hyper-articulate ones, like Louisa, can sometimes appear to have as much agency as an adult. But this is still a young child, in the power of others. I guess that's a long-winded way of saying that I don't think it's possible for Louisa to fail herself.
You—I assume deliberately—don't give us much information at all on the parents. We don't know why they were in Japan, what ethnicity they are, what illness has disabled the mother, why she has had no contact with her brother, and so on. Why leave these perhaps crucial elements out of the story?
Background information—and how much we really need—is something I think about a lot. I used to just pile it on, with the feeling that readers could never possibly "understand" unless they had all this information—but then where do you stop? At some point, reading writers like Jenny Erpenbeck and Alice Munro, I started to see the whole backstory question from the opposite direction: How much can you leave out? Now, instead of adding more and more, I keep taking things away, up to the point at which, I hope, the story still has that tensile quality of holding together but nothing extraneous.
Why does Louisa repeatedly deny that her mother is even ill?
To make you ask that question! Is her mother really ill? Hmm. . . .
The opening scene—the only one in which we see Louisa's father—is narrated in the present tense, even though, chronologically, it predates the rest of the story, which is told in the past tense. What guided that choice?
I don't tend to choose which tense I use where; it just happens, and then I see if it continues to feel right. With that scene, I wrote it in the present tense without thinking about it, and then the sense of immediacy that the present tense brings was just right for what the scene turned out to be: the undigested, uncomprehended moment in Louisa's life at which she suddenly lost her father. Louisa can't get perspective on that moment, so it's stuck in the "present."
You mentioned that the events of the story take place in the seventies. Why is it important that it be set then?
I do like to strip out as much backstory as I can—but that doesn't mean that the backstory doesn't exist. There's something terrible lurking in the background of this story, a historical reality that belongs mostly to the late seventies, and that will be revealed more fully if the longer version of this ever comes into focus (see below).
Are you tempted to turn this story into something longer? Or is this where we leave Louisa?
See above! I've been wrestling with this material for years, trying to figure out what it wants to be—a short novel, or a long novel, or stories, or one story, or maybe just a bunch of files on my desktop? I'm so glad that at least one part of it—this part—has come together.

White Peak Distillery whisky launch
White Peak Distillery set to raise a dram with whisky launch & crowdfunding programme
The Peak District's first full-scale craft Distillery - White Peak - is getting set to release its first-ever single malt whisky this autumn.Â
Published Date: 7th April 2021
Founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Max & Claire Vaughan - both originally from Derbyshire - White Peak Distillery has gone from strength to strength in its first few years, winning awards for its Distillery visitor experiences, as well as its Shining Cliff Gin and its new make and maturing single malt spirit.
However, it is the launch of White Peak's first single malt whisky that was the heart of the dream from day one that they are most excited about, set to take place in October 2021. And with a dynamic crowdfunding campaign currently gathering momentum and raising funds for the launch, the next few months are poignant for the Distillery's close-knit team, their loyal supporters and the wider whisky community.
Located in the dramatic former *Johnson & Nephew Wire Works building alongside the River Derwent, within beautiful woodland that forms part of Derbyshire's Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, every aspect of the Distillery and its spirits link back to its heritage-rich setting. Their first whisky release will be no exception to this.
To build on the Distillery's successes over the past five years, whilst increasing resources and investment during this pivotal year, the Distillery is currently offering the opportunity to become a shareholder in White Peak, inviting interested parties to consider supporting the crowdfunding campaign that is being run through Crowdcube. As part of the growth around the whisky launch, the Distillery plans to add to its team and increase resources across the business, most notable within production, sales and marketing. Whilst the fundraising has already hit its minimum target, the team is looking to offer as many keen investors as possible the chance to be part of the Distillery's future.
Max Vaughan, Co-founder of White Peak Distillery, said: "Our journey over the past five years has been incredibly rewarding. We are so proud to have established the Distillery as a recognised, innovative business within the Peak District, whilst winning awards for our spirits within the drinks industry and our visitor experience within our vital local community."
"Our team is passionate about the business we're building: our extraordinary location and its regeneration, the heritage we are building upon and the spirits we are curating as a true taste of our homeland. We are all now excited for the next chapter of our story to unfold with the release of our single malt whisky later this year."
"To make the most of this opportunity and so that we can accelerate our growth plans, we've decided to launch our crowdfunding campaign, and the interest so far has been amazing."
Those wanting to discover and taste White Peak's new single malt whisky will be able to explore more from October 2021 onwards.
Further details about White Peak's crowdfunding campaign can be found within the link below, with the opportunity to invest open until 23rd April 2021: https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/white-peak-distillery/pitches/Z5no2b
The Distillery will also be reopening for visitors, tours and tastings from 22nd May 2021 – see www.whitepeakdistillery.com for more information.

TN schools, employers preparing for projected nursing shortage
Food City customers help raise $50K for Project Help
by: WATE 6 On Your Side staff
Project Help, an East Tennessee non-profit that helps families in need keep the electricity on, received a special donation on Monday.
Food City, with some added help from Home Federal Bank, raised $50,000 for the project. Generous East Tennesseans who gave back at Food City checkouts across the Knoxville area raised that amount in just a month.
Project Help's board president says every single dollar helps.
"Donations make the difference. It keeps people from choosing between going to the doctor when they need to, paying for their medicine when they need to. It keeps them from having to go without food, because if they know there's one place, once a year, to get over that one hump to receive assistance for their utility bill, it's the difference sometimes bordering on life and death, as far as we're concerned," said Teresa Lawson.
Project Help helps pay one pricey bill each year, mainly helping those whose power would otherwise be turned off. It's especially important during the colder months.

Q: How can I compute the cardinality of $\mathcal{O}_K/\mathfrak{p}_i$? Given a finite field extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with associated ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, how can I find the cardinality of the finite field $\mathcal{O}_K/\mathfrak{p}_i$ where $\mathfrak{p}_i$ lies over $(p)$ and
$$
(p) = \mathfrak{p}_1^{e_1}\cdots p_n^{e_n}
$$
For example, I want to be able to compute the finite field from
$$
\frac{\mathbb{Z}[x]}{(x^2 + 1, 2-x)}
$$
where
$$
(5) = (2-i)(2+i)
$$

A: In the Gaussian integers you could just calculate the norm, $N(2-i)=5$  (Note that $(2+i)(2-i)=5$ not 3!)

Kingfisher Pole Vaults to Ordfordness
The great majority of Kingfishers breeding in the UK are resident. However, the kingfisher that winters in your patch may have known other countries in its life, and that's what this story shows...
Last Monday we had news from Mike Marsh of what seems to be the first Polish ringed Kingfisher ever controlled in the UK, Mike said:
At Orfordness, Suffolk we catch a small number (up to 8) Kingfishers each year, usually in the autumn. We have assumed that these have been dispersing juveniles of fairly local origin. How wrong could we be ?
On Sunday Sep.25th we controlled one wearing a Polish ring – YN16870 !
From the on-line recovery totals this appears to be the first Kingfisher from Poland to be caught in the UK. Previously the most easterly Kingfishers recovered in the UK has been from Germany (5 from there). The distance moved by this bird will almost certainly be over 1000km which will be even further than the remarkable recovery of the BTO-ringed Kingfisher that went from Wales to Spain!
Without a doubt this will be one of the longest distance runners among the Kingfishers in the ringing database and we can't wait to hear from the Polish Scheme about the ringing details.
While we wait for this record to be processed, you can see a map showing the 4 longest distance runner Kingfishers in the ringing database so far:
In 4th position a bird ringed in Aken, Kothen (Germany) as a pullus in 2008 was controlled in Saltfleet Haven (Lincolnshire) the same year
In 3rd position a bird ringed in Templin-Knehden (Germany) as a pullus in 1998 was controlled near Sturry (Kent) the same year
In 2nd position a bird ringed in Horsham (Sussex) as young in June 2005 was controlled in Saint-Gaudens (France) in August the same year
On top of the marks is a bird ringed in Marloes (Pembrokshire) as young in Aug 1993 was controlled in Irun (Spain) in Sep the same year (in yellow)
View Kingfishers in a larger map
To prove the veracity of this story please meet the Polish Kingfisher itself!
Thanks to Mike Marsh for sharing the story and to David Crawshaw for supplying the photograph (they had not taken the ring off - this is a sequence of photos).

What happened to the recoveries?
After looking at how many recoveries we get from predators in the last posting, I thought it would be nice to look at the recoveries we get as a whole.
I have used all the recoveries that we have received from August up until now. We use two codes to say what happened to the birds. The finding condition tells us, for example, if the bird was found dead or alive. The finding circumstances give the cause for what happened to the bird, if known.
The pie chart below is of the condition of the bird reported. As you can see the vast majority of reported birds are dead but a reasonably large slice goes to ringers catching birds after that have already been ringed (this generally only includes birds travelling more than 5km from the site of ringing).
The second pie chart is of the finding circumstances. We have a multitude of codes for the circumstances but I have just highlighted those that we have had more than 10 reports.
The 'bird found' slice is when the finder just finds the bird's body but doesn't know what happened to it. Obviously the pie chart results are very specific to this time of year and the proportions change very quickly. For example this is the start of the shooting season and we get a sudden increase in the number of birds shot compared with earlier in the year.
It should be pointed out that these portions are of reported individuals, for example you would hope that 100% of all shot birds would be reported but not all birds are reported that end up in a cat's belly.
Labels: circumstances, condition, finding, pie chart, recoveries
August recoveries update
"I found a bird's leg in my sock!"
Over the years there have been some odd finding places for bird rings, including at the bottom of the North Sea, a Red Kite in the engine of a plane and a Mute Swan killed by a Lion at Chester Zoo. This month's winner is quoted, "I put my sock on this morning and felt something sharp dig into my foot. Upon further inspection, and to my disbelief, I found a tiny metal ring attached to a dismembered birds leg!". We are waiting for the ringing details on this one, but the leg was small, perhaps Wren or Goldcrest sized.
With the start of the shooting season, reports of ringed wildfowl are increasing. Last month we had 2 interesting reports of Pochard that were shot in Samarskaya Oblast, Russia (3287km) and Shaturskiy Rayon (2600km), Russia, after being ringed at Welney WWT, Norfolk in 2007 and 2008 (yellow pins).
Passerines played their part last month with Common Redpoll L656176 (blue pin) being ringed by Spurn Bird Observatory on the 16th of October 2010 to be then controlled by a ringer in Finnvik, Tromso, Norway on 5th August 2011 (2035km in 293 days).

We don't normally get many reports of dogs attacking birds (apart from the odd swan) but House Sparrow TS36895 was very unlucky to be killed by a Jack Russell while flying past a bird table! Cats are the normal cause of death in gardens, partly because they frequently bring the ringed bird to the owner for reporting. Out of the 32 'caused by predator' reports during August, 22 of these were from cats, with the next highest being five deaths from birds of prey.

CES ringers finally get a lie-in
Greg Conway writes:
As the breeding season draws to a close, so the hundreds of dedicated ringers who run the 120 Constant Effort Sites (CES) scattered across Britain and Ireland can start to relax and recuperate after a summer of early morning starts. As they use the same mist nets in the same places each year to catch the birds, the information they collect tells us about changes in numbers of adults and juveniles over time, so abundance, breeding success and survival can all be measured, making this one of the most valuable ringing projects.
Target species include many of our long-distance migrants (e.g. Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Garden Warbler, Whitethroat, Willow Warbler) plus resident scrub species such as Wren, Dunnock, Blackbird and Robin.
The CES scheme started in 1983, so ringers have just completed the 29th season and will soon be focussing their attention on getting all their data to BTO HQ ready for analysis. The results of the most recent CES analysis can be found on the species pages here and the preliminary results from 2011 will be available later in the autumn. These will provide the first indications of abundance and breeding success of birds nesting this summer, helping to assess the potential impact of yet another harsh winter.
Early indications suggest that a number of migrant species have returned in greater than usual numbers. However, despite an early start to the breeding for many species, prolonged periods of cool and wet weather, particularly in the north and west of Britain and Ireland, were associated reduced breeding productivity levels.
A big thank you to everyone whole has help with CES this year and those ringers who have already submitted their data.

Waiting for the kids to leave home
Over 36,000 Reed Warblers were ringed in the UK during 2010, so what was interesting about the seven caught at a site in south Norfolk on Thursday?
During the summer of 2011, a team of BTO staff, collectively known as The Swamp Things (AKA Dave Leech, Lee Barber, Rachael Portnall, Mike Toms and Jez Blackburn), decided that the best way to spend their free time would be to slip into a pair chest waders and wander the reedbeds of Norfolk. Why, you ask? A good question, especially when the temperature rises into the high twenties and the horseflies are hungry, but there was method in their madness as there really is no other way to collect data on the nesting success of Reed Warblers.
So, when the warblers arrived back from Africa in April, The Swamp Things sprang into action, catching and ringing the adults, finding their nests and ringing the chicks. The first full clutch of eggs was recorded on the 8th May, and the last nestling was ringed on the 12th August, by which time several of the team were looking considerably sleeker and, at least from the shoulders up, more tanned. In the intervening three months, they monitored 257 nests and ringed 596 nestlings. An added bonus was provided by the 12 nests parasitized by Cuckoos, of which at least seven were thought to have fledged (and by now have presumably joined Clement , Martin, Caspar, Lyster, and Chris on their wintering grounds).
The seven birds mentioned at the top of this posting were all ringed as chicks in the nest between the 8th and the 30th July and are still finishing their moult and building up their fat reserves. By adding this information to the other recaptures of ringed nestlings, the team will be able to learn a lot more about the behaviour of the youngsters when they reach independence and prepare for their first ever migration, an incredibly important, yet seldom studied, period in their lives.
Thanks to Dave Leech for this post.

Parmalat improves in difficult first half
11-Sep-2002 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 06:42 GMT

Shrugging off difficult economic conditions in a number of markets,
Italian dairy group Parmalat has reported solid, if hardly
spectacular, results for the first half of the year.
Italian dairy group Parmalat has said it is encouraged by its first half performance in the light of the difficulties facing the world economy. The company improved its position in all 30 markets where it is present, and maintained its overall operating profit at roughly the same level as in the previous year.
Consolidated sales for the first half amounted to €3.9 billion, an increase of €23 million on 2001. Organic volume growth was slightly lower at 2.2 per cent, but organic value growth was 4.5 per cent, the company said. Turnover was hit by the recessions in both Argentina and Venezuela and the depreciation of several of the main currencies in which the group operates - in particular in South America and South Africa.
European sales were up 5.4 per cent to €1.3 billion, driven by solid performances in Italy, Spain, Portugal, the UK and Hungary. New product launches helped the group improve its share of markets which remained essentially stable during the half.
Sales in North and Central America increased by 2.5 per cent to €1.35 billion, and while North American markets remained stable, the company continued to restructure its operations south of the US border, consolidating its market position in Mexico and improving its market leading positions in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
South American turnover slumped 9.1 per cent, however, to €871 million as a result of the currency devaluations and political instability, but there was still much encouraging news, with Brazilian operations remaining stable and markets outside Argentina and Uruguay posting solid volume results.
Sales in the rest of the world (essentially Australia and South Africa) rose 3.1 per cent to €334 million and would have been better still if not for the weakness of the Rand and other South African currencies.
The first few months of the second half have seen a continuation of Parmalat's good performance. In July, an agreement was signed over a strategic alliance with Raiffeisen-holding Niederosterreich-Wien, majority shareholder of the Austrian company Nom, involving the purchase by Parmalat of a 25 per cent stake in the Austrian dairy group for €30 million.
Once the sale is concluded - subject to approval by competition authorities, Parmalat will benefit from improved access for its products both in the Austrian market and in neighbouring markets.
Nom, whose sales amount to €235 million, is a leading operator in the pasteurised milk market in Austria with several strong national brands and leading market positions in production of fruit yoghurt and fresh pasteurised milk. It is also a leading player in the drinking yoghurt market in the EU as a whole.
For the remainder of 2002, Parmalat said that organic volume growth was expected to remain in line with that seen in the first half of the year, although sales in Euro terms were likely to suffer because of continued currency devaluations in South America and elsewhere.

Alfalfa's Hires Natural Products Retail Veteran in Top Operations Role
Download the Press Release PDF here.
John Varsames, VP of Operations, brings 25 years of retail and restaurant management experience to help Alfalfa's achieve its new store growth plans.
BOULDER, Colo. (Dec. 17, 2013) – Alfalfa's, a Boulder, Colo. owned and operated natural and organic market, announced today that natural products retail operations veteran, John Varsames, has been named Vice President of Operations. Varsames brings 25 years of retail operations experience to Alfalfa's, and has held senior operations roles at leading natural products retailers, including Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats Markets.
"We are happy to have someone with John's industry knowledge and operations experience at Alfalfa's," said Mark Retzloff, President and CEO of Alfalfa's. "As we gear up to open our second location in Louisville, Colo. next year, and lay the groundwork for future new Alfalfa's stores seeding the Front Range of Colorado, John's expertise will be a critical part of our growth and success."
Varsames brings significant food retail and restaurant operations experience to the Alfalfa's leadership team. His 25 years of experience includes extensive work in opening new stores, building and developing empowered teams, and driving successful financial performance. He comes to Alfalfa's from Whole Foods Market, where he was a member of the Rocky Mountain Leadership team for eight years. In that capacity, he served in several key operations roles, including store team leader at a variety of stores, and had a successful track record of optimizing performance of various store formats and sizes. Most recently, Varsames led successful transformations of acquired stores in Boulder and Golden, Colo., and served as a mentor, developing and coaching many of the company's operations leaders.
Prior to joining Whole Foods Market, Varsames created an independently owned natural foods store, Blue Sky Market. In his nine years with Wild Oats Markets, he held several management positions, including regional food service director, director of new store development and senior director of new stores and operational procedures. In this capacity, he oversaw nearly all aspects of new store openings, including facility design, leasing, construction, implementation and operational efficiency. Prior to his career in the natural foods industry, Varsames worked in food management for Hyatt Hotels and Village Inn Restaurants.
"John's experience in food service, retail operations and new store development provide the perfect blend of knowledge and expertise to help Alfalfa's achieve our new store growth objectives," said Retzloff. "We are excited about the possibilities and about bringing our high product standards, passion for natural and organic, and commitment to community to more neighborhoods along the Front Range of Colorado."
About Alfalfa's
Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1983, Alfalfa's Market grew to be one of the nation's leading-edge natural products retailers throughout the 1980s and 1990s. With 11 stores and an iconic reputation for being a community gathering place filled with an infectious passion for natural and organic foods, Alfalfa's Market was acquired by Wild Oats Markets in 1996. In 2011 Mark Retzloff, an original Alfalfa's founder, Barney Feinblum, Hugo van Seenus and Jimmy Searcy resurrected the Alfalfa's name with the reopening of the original Alfalfa's at Broadway and Arapahoe in Boulder. The store is true to its roots as a Boulder-owned and operated natural foods market. For more information, please visit www.alfalfas.com.

Taoiseach says EU deal on gas prices good for Ireland
Updated / Friday, 21 Oct 2022 19:45
Michael Martin described the agreement as good for Ireland
By Tony Connelly
Europe Editor
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has hailed last night's agreement by EU leaders on a price cap on imported gas, saying it would lead to a stabilisation of the market and reduce price spikes.
Mr Martin said that the impact for Irish consumers might not be immediately felt because Ireland received most of its gas via the United Kingdom.
"It's good for Ireland. We export into the European market quite significantly. We see this as progress," he told reporters as he arrived for the second day of the summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
"We import our gas from the UK. Our prices are lower than some across Europe. There may not be an immediate impact other than to say that any stabilisation of the gas market ultimately benefits us."
EU leaders agreed to press ahead with a cap on the wholesale cost of gas as a way to bring down electricity prices during talks in Brussels, which concluded in the early hours of this morning.
The price cap will be conditional on safeguards to ensure it does not lead to a reduction in the supply of gas or a rise in gas consumption.

After 11 hours of talks, EU leaders hammered out an agreement on a price cap which, according to European Council President Charles Michel, should soon start to lead to lower electricity prices.
Mr Martin said it was positive that Europe continued to work together collectively, and said that there had been a decline in gas prices since August.
He said the objective of last night's agreement was stability in the gas market to ensure that Europe was not subject to spikes in prices.
"[Gas] has been on a downward trajectory since the high point in August. Nonetheless it's still much higher than it was before the commencement of the [Ukraine] war," he said.
He said the benefits of the windfall tax on energy companies not relying on gas for production would not be felt in Ireland until "early next year."
EU leaders agreed to what is being called a dynamic price corridor when gas is being purchased from outside suppliers.
This would mean that wholesale prices could be capped if there are spikes in the benchmark price, but in a way which would mean it was still attractive for suppliers to sell gas into the European Union.
However, the cap would be heavily conditioned on ensuring it does not reduce the security of supply, and that it does not lead to a rise in gas consumption because of lower prices.
Leaders also agreed to press ahead with joint purchasing of gas over the longer term to help fill storage facilities, and to deepen measures to reduce gas consumption.
The price cap would take effect on the EU's main gas futures market in Amsterdam. Since Ireland secures its gas mainly via the London market it is not immediately clear what impact the measures will have.
Officials point out that if the price cap encourages suppliers to sell through the London market that could mean more supply and therefore lower prices.
The summit agreement set out a "solid roadmap to keep on working on the topic of energy prices", European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen told a media conference.
The published text calls on the European Commission and EU countries in coming weeks to find ways to shield consumers from the high prices "while preserving Europe's global competitiveness... and the integrity of the Single Market".
Mr Michel said that "the energy crisis represents a threat to the internal market" of the EU and stressed "maximal coordination" was needed to protect it.
At least 15 EU countries, more than half the bloc, are pushing for an ambitious cap on prices and are increasingly unsettled by strikes and protests over the cost of living spreading across France, Belgium and other member states.
But the price cap idea has met resistance from Germany, the EU's biggest economy, fearing that gas supplies could end up shifting to more lucrative markets in Asia.
Several smaller economies are also furious that the German government will not back a gas cap and for going it alone in helping its citizens pay for high prices with a €200bn spending bonanza.
In the end, the agreed text said a "cost and benefit analysis" of a price cap for electricity generation should be carried out, and that the impact beyond Europe would be assessed.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who had gone into the summit saying Germany was isolating itself, expressed satisfaction with the result.
"The next two or three weeks will allow the commission to come up with these mechanisms" to be implemented.
He said it sent a "very clear signal to the markets of our determination and our unity".
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said "good progress" had been made.
"We wanted, together, to limit fluctuations that could be caused by speculation."
There was no hiding, however, a general Franco-German discord that is simmering. That became more evident on Wednesday when the two countries delayed a regular meeting between cabinet ministers.
But France's Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire sought to downplay fears of a rift at the heart of Europe, telling the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper that "no one can split up the Franco-German couple".
How he said there was a need for a "strategic redefinition" of bilateral relations to create "a new alliance".
In another sign the two were not in concert, France did not consult Germany before agreeing with Spain and Portugal to scrap a planned gas pipeline that Berlin has been pushing for years.
Leaders of the three countries met just before the summit and "decided to abandon the MidCat project and instead create, as a matter of priority, a Green Energy Corridor connecting Portugal, Spain and France with the EU's energy network."
The MidCat, a project that emerged a decade ago, called for an overland gas pipeline to be built to connect gas terminals in Spain and Portugal, across France, to European networks supplying Germany, among others.
In its place, they said, an underwater pipeline, called BarMar, would be laid from Barcelona in Spain to Marseille in France. It will initially be used for natural gas but, over time, more and more for more climate-friendly hydrogen.
But the agreement released by Macron and his Spanish and Portuguese counterparts laid out no timetable for BarMar's completion, and did not say how it would be funded, leaving experts sceptical.
In another nod to Germany's concerns, the summit agreement on energy backed joint purchases by the EU energy giants in order to command cheaper prices to replenish reserves, as long as "national needs" were taken into account.
It also set limits aimed at "preventing increased gas consumption".
Another point gives the EU's executive arm the power to establish a pricing "corridor" on Europe's main gas index to intervene when prices get out of control.
