I ran across the most incredible testimony of God's miraculous power, I had to share. I pray that you are blessed beyond measure. I was!!
An interview with Boris – an Internal Affairs officer in Ukraine.
INTERVIEWER: – I would like to introduce to you, Mr. Boris Pilipchuk, who is 36 years old. Please, Boris tell us about yourself.
BORIS: – I am an officer, a Senior Lieutenant on the police force. My position is that of a strategic duty officer in one of the operation sections of the police force in Khemlnitskij District of Ukraine. I fought in the Afganistan war. I am married with three children. We live in a village called Novaya Siniavka, in the Starosiniavskij region of Khemlnitskij District.
BORIS: – I was a strong atheist, but my wife and her parents were believers. They always wanted me to be saved. On September 16, 1996, Pastor Nikolai Ivashenko, of the Full Gospel Church in the town of Mariopol, came to our village, while he was in town visiting his relatives. My wife asked him to speak to me. However, she warned him that I lacked temperance, was very aggressive, and rude. The training I received in the army left a scar on my character.
prayer. The power of the Holy Spirit came upon me and the Lord baptized me in the Holy Spirit. Ever since then, I dedicated my life to serve the Lord.
BORIS: – My mother was very indignant, at the beginning, because she did not know the Lord at this time. Later on, opposition at my work place began. They threatened to lay me off the job or demote me. They even went to the extent of trying to make me backslide, but I wasn't disturbed by this, neither did I worry. In the past, I would have been in a state of confusion, ready to relinquish my officers' rank. Now, this seemed absurd to me. God's word says that if you are taken to court, not to be anxious over what to say, for He will speak for you. So being confident in my faith, I said, " You cannot do anything to me, because the Lord is with me." So my superior officers had to submit to this. Not only did my colleagues adhere to this, they also listened, with pleasure, as I preached during my break period. I told every one about Jesus Christ, in the hope of winning one soul to the Lord. I won't go on to describe what hideous things I did before repentance, because the Lord has forgiven me of all my sin. I praise and thank Him for this. The Lord forgives all the sin of anyone who earnestly repents.
INTERVIEWER: – You are in the service and a believer – this is very unusual. Do people consider this to be normal?
BORIS: – I tell everyone that Jesus Christ is Lord over all, including men in the service. The Lord loves each and everyone the same. I have been asked several times, " How can you serve God, being in the service, handling weapons?" It is God's word that teaches us how to serve Him. When John the Baptist baptized people in the Jordan River, men in the service came up to him and asked, "What shall we do?" He responded by telling them that they should be content with their wages. There is no place in the Word of God where it is written that men in the service should not serve the Lord. On the contrary, we know from the Holy Scriptures that two Roman officers repented and that they and their entire household served the Lord Jesus Christ. Each and every believer has a discrete ministry in God's sight.
BORIS: – Yes. Perfect health is a prerequisite to join the force. It was mandatory for us to undergo routine medical tests.
BORIS: – I will recount how the Lord raised me from the dead. On the 27th of July 1998, I returned home from work to my village. Something happened to me that I cannot explain. I was completely paralyzed and I lost consciousness. According to my wife's account, after I lost consciousness, I was rushed to the hospital and placed in the intensive care unit. Their diagnosis was – Brain hemorrhage. I remained there for several days in a coma. I was transferred to the intensive care unit of the Khelmitskij District Clinic. The doctors continued to fight for my life. However, I had a heart attack which lessened my chance of survival.
INTERVIEWER: – How serious was your brain hemorrhage?
BORIS: – I later found that the doctor had diagnosed internal bleeding in 95% of my brain. All the equipment and the sensors that were attached to my body indicated that I was dead. In their medical report, the doctors detected a hemorrhage that had spread all over my brain; all of the nine tests confirmed my death.
INTERVIEWER: – Boris, from what you were told later, after the doctors certified your death, did they immediately call your wife?
BORIS: – Yes, they did and she was not the only person they informed. Actually, what happened was that every 15 or 20 minutes my colleagues called the hospital to inquire of my health. They were told that I was already dead. At my job, money was already being collected, a coffin was ordered, and every arrangement necessary for my funeral service was being set in motion. In a nutshell, preparation was made for my funeral. I think the sudden death of such a healthy police officer was a very stunning occurrence, which took everyone by surprise. This was clear, from the numerous phone calls to the hospital, from my colleagues.
BORIS: – Yes, she was, but she was not allowed to be in the room. Later on my wife told me, that she constantly prayed to God over my salvation. When the doctors began to desperately fight to save my life, my wife phoned Pastor Nikolai in Mariopol. My wife told him what had happened and asked him to pray for me. While he prayed, God told him that the situation would not lead to death, but to the glory of God. He calmed my wife down and told her that a Christian Festival was underway in the town of Mariopol and that all the believers would pray for me. They prayed. During this time, events in the hospital were mounting. The doctors informed my wife of my death and after two hours she was permitted to accompany my body, on the stretcher, to the door of the morgue.
That means that after establishing the fact that Boris was in a state of clinical death, the doctors struggled for 30 minutes to save his life. While in the intensive care unit, over two more hours elapsed then biological death was confirmed. This meant that the irreversible processes and death of the brain matter had already begun. The time necessary for resuscitation after clinical death is about 4 to 6 minutes. Boris' death was confirmed by the doctors and by the medical equipment that was connected to his body.
Then I saw an extraordinary light at the end of the staircase. The light wasn't like that of the sun or of a welding instrument, which has a harmful effect on the eyes. It was extremely bright, warm, calming, full of joy and peace. I was full of delight, to such an extent that mere words cannot describe how I felt. My delight continued to increase and there was no limit to the joy I felt. I don't know how to describe this vision, this feeling, in words, but I would like you to imagine the picture the Lord showed me. Later, I heard a voice, coming from the direction of the light, which said: "My son, come to me and I will show you something. I will help you".
From the great number of angels, two angels walked up behind me. One stood on my right and the other on my left, just a short distance from me. I didn't turn my head, I didn't look behind me and I didn't gaze around, but it appeared as if I could see 360 degrees about me. I wasn't nervous and didn't feel any form of discomfort. I was absolutely calm and so peaceful that words cannot express how I felt, not then and not now. I didn't ask anyone any question, such as where I was? What's happened to me? What will happen later on? I felt completely confident in myself, as if I was standing in a familiar place. I felt as if I lived there permanently.
There were several very high walls of various colors. There were 12 colors in all, which radiated and shone like a bright light. (Later on, after my resurrection, when I studied the 21-22 chapter of the book of Revelations in the Bible, I found a confirmation of what I had seen). I saw the foundation of the city, which was made up of the 12 precious stones of this world. I saw a pearl gate, three large pearls on each wall. I didn't measure them, but one pearl was larger than two meters, in my opinion. I saw only six gates, because I was led into the city through one of its corners. I saw the two sides of the cube. Then l was taken through one of the gates into the city. As we passed through them, I saw two inscriptions. One was above the gate and the other was under the gate. The name of one of the tribes of Israel was written above the gate, and under it the name of an Apostle was written. Unfortunately I do not remember which gate led me into the New Jerusalem, but now I would like to know that.
When I entered into the city through the gates, I stood in admiration. The city was made completely of gold. The gold was so pure – I had never seen such brilliance before. I had seen how brightly gold articles in a jeweler's store shone, but this was not comparable, to what I saw at that moment. Gold streets, houses of gold, gold doors – everything was made of gold, transparent like glass. I could never have imagined that gold could appear transparent and so pure. I read about this in God's word, but I could not really imagine it. I just couldn't imagine how a hard metal could appear transparent. Now that I had seen this fine gold, I just wanted to touch it. I touched the walls and entered some houses observing everything. I did not ask the angels, where I was to go from here. I seemed to know the way. I was overcome with such a feeling as if I was in a place of my own.
As I continued further into the city, I was now near the center. I saw a large tree in one spot that had pear-shaped fruit on it. The size of the fruit was about the size of two average sized fists put together. The leaves on it reminded me of the leaves of a lime tree, only they were larger and like leaves of a burdock tree. When I got near the tree, I wanted to take a fruit from it and began to reach for one. Suddenly with enthusiasm I stretched out my hand, which to my surprise was not like an ordinary hand but was transparent. When I was about to pluck a fruit, the angel who stood a little distance behind me, on my right side, stretched out his hand and stopped me. Motioning with his finger, he informed me that for now, I shouldn't pluck the fruit. Without any form of regret or disappointment from the angel's action, I left the tree. Generally speaking, within the city, I never experienced any kind of discomfort, or disorder.
I wanted to move but could not. My body did not respond. I experienced such a feeling, as if I was not in my own body. Then I began to pray, because my senses were returning to normal. I saw everything, I recognized everything, I heard everything, but I did not recognize the voice I heard, it was melodious. The feeling was as if an audiotape was playing at a slower speed than normal. At that instant, I began to call upon the Lord, for the Lord gave me strength to walk. When I finished praying, I felt a great outpouring of energy. I felt as if the hairs on my head were falling off and a thousand needles pricked my forehead. I received such an outpouring of energy that I felt as if my feet were in asphalt. I felt warmth and a great power, from my head to my feet. I began to walk as the Holy Spirit led me, in the direction of the doctor's room, where all the doctors were seated. I had perfect orientation of the hospital's layout, seeing as I had been there on several occasions as a police officer.
My wife fell down on her knees, thanking the Lord, because he had resurrected me. When she came to herself, she took a cloth and ran after me to cover my complete nakedness. As I continued walking, the hospital staff all ran in various directions screaming out. Some of them fell down, while others shut themselves in the wards. My wife caught up with me just as I was approaching the doctor's lounge and wrapped the cloth around me. I reached the doctors lounge and with a gentle push, opened the door of the room. Later on, I learned that the room was locked with a key, and cupboards had been placed in front of the door to prevent entry into the room. The power of the Lord opened that door with such ease.
presence. When I came out of the doctor's lounge, I stood a while in the corridor and surprisingly, my first four steps left something like a print of water behind, although I was completely dry and the cloth about me was also dry! I got dressed. My wife called a car and we went home.
INTERVIEWER: – Boris, I can imagine the panic and shock of the doctors, when they saw you. What they saw definitely did not conform with the training they underwent in medical school or to what they had previously experienced in their medical practice. It's clear that it wasn't death that scared them, because they encounter that everyday. Your resurrection is simply incomprehensible to the human mind. It's a fact that blood clots in a closed space like the brain couldn't possibly go anywhere and even more so, considering the degree of the hemorrhage – 95%. There couldn't possibly have been any mistake. After a futile struggle to save your life, your death was confirmed. All the medical equipment connected to your body, confirmed this fact. You were dead in their presence for about 2 hrs and 30 minutes and after that you were taken to the morgue. The irreversible process in the central nervous system had long taken place. It turned out that a dead man, didn't just breathe, but walked in seemingly of his own accord, and even spoke normally. Doctors understand the difficulty and the length of time required in intensive care for a patient to recover who has suffered from a brain hemorrhage. The doctors didn't expect such a miracle.
Furthermore, the resurrection was accompanied with such power of the Holy Ghost that the doors were torn from their hinges and fell to the ground with such a noise. The trolley rolled out of the morgue, over turned and then rolled back into the morgue. All this happened in the presence of the medical staff. The news of your resurrection had already preceded you. The doctors had locked themselves in the doctor's lounge and barricaded the door. The door being opened by the power of the Holy Ghost was something incomprehensible. They were in such a state of fear. The events that took place were just too incredible for the normal human mind to comprehend.
BORIS: I was on my way home, in complete health, seated in the front seat of the car. Along the road, we drove up to a road warden, a vehicle inspection officer, with whom I happened to work. When he saw me, he slumped to the ground. He sat on the ground for a long time stunned. My wife asked me to get out and tell him everything is okay, that I was alive. I said, "I will not do that because he may end up dying from fear".
Within thirty minutes of my arrival home, my superior officer came to my house to find out if I was really alive or if the police officer that met us along the way was out of his mind. They just couldn't believe that after all that had taken place, I was not only alive, but also in perfect health and at home. They couldn't understand this. When I went out to meet them, they were afraid and began to step back, as if they had seen a ghost. I asked them to have a seat and began to speak to them about my resurrection. They began to nod their heads, but their faces revealed so much fright. Neither did they believe a word of what I said. They didn't even continue listening. They tried to leave as soon as possible, to avoid being around me for too long.
· "But do you believe your eyes?" I asked him.
· "I believe", he said.
· "I can hear you", he replied.
· "Can you see me?" I continued to ask.
· "I can see you", he said.
· "Then pinch me, perhaps you don't see me well. I am as healthy as you", I said to him.
· "That's impossible", he said.
7. Deductions by the Medical Committee – Completely Healthy.
INTERVIEWER: – Boris, you talked about the reaction of your colleagues, what about the doctors?
BORIS: – Yes, for two weeks, 15 different medical committees carried out medical checks on me, to determine if I could remain in on the force. The doctor's wanted to prove, that at least some side effects existed. It was impossible for everything to just vanish away without a trace. All their x-rays and their investigations testified of complete health.
The doctors came to the conclusion, that I am well, however up to this moment they remain in a state of confusion. As the medical committee was carrying out their duties and the doctors affirmed that I was completely well, they didn't believe their eyes. Some of them said that if they hadn't personally written the diagnosis, based on the x-rays, cardiographs and many other investigations, they wouldn't have believed it. How could blood clots, within the brain disappear by themselves without any surgical procedures?
The doctors asked me to keep silent about all this, or else people would think I was crazy. But I know that every lie is a sin, as it is written in God's word, that all liars will have their part "in the lake that burns with fire…", and that they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. I told the doctors: "For the very reason I stand on the earth, after all that has happened to me, doesn't give me the right to remain silent. For as it is written in God's Word, that if you remain silent, then stones will sing out. They replied: "Well, that's your own business. We will not record your resurrection".
INTERVIEWER: – I addressed the Senior Pastor of the Word of Faith Bible Church, Pastor Sunday Adelaja, to kindly comment on what happened to Boris.
BORIS: – It's a rare occurrence to know that a person is resurrected to life in our days! When people hear about this, denial is the first thing that comes to their mind. Once dead, always dead. On the contrary, this was either clinical death and the doctors were able to resuscitate the person or an exaggeration – and people would say, " there was no death recorded in actual fact; this is just fiction. In short, any other thing may have happened, but not resurrection and what more…God? This is just fiction! We are intelligent people and we can not be deceived". This is the typical way most people think.
Don't be in a hurry to draw conclusions. By investigating and thinking over the matter, let us discuss what the Bible says about God and resurrection. Scientists have already come to the conclusion that the Bible contains historical facts. That Jesus Christ did exists as a historical person. The teachings of Jesus Christ and His works confirm that He is the Son of God, and that He is God Himself. This was confirmed by signs and wonders (read the new Testament). He has been given all power in heaven and on earth. (Mat. 28:18).
**Unbelievers think in this manner, "if I can not understand how God works, then it simply can not be". They forget that in studying the laws of physics, they do not argue the fact that they can see only a narrow spectrum of light radiation, or hear definite sound frequencies, etc. The limitations of human capabilities are obvious.
It is understood, that not every one can become an artist, a singer, a mathematician or a machine operator, etc. As an example, not ever one would sit down to play chess with a Grandmaster, having actually evaluated their skill in this game. However, man has the audacity to evaluate God and determine His capabilities. For example, they ask, "Can God resurrect a person?" People love to criticize God and His work. People even try to question God, insisting that He may not have done something the way expected or something incorrectly. That is nonsense! This means that a person judges his Creator and a clay vessel commands the potter saying, "What are you doing?" (Isa.29:16, 45:9; Rom. 9:20-21).
Looking at the Bible, I meditated on the resurrection of Lazarus…Jesus Christ loved Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary (John 11:5,35,36) I thought, why did Jesus delay, knowing that Lazarus was dying? Why didn't he immediately go to save his friend? Why did He allow his death to occur? Jesus Christ came only after four days, when the body had started to decay already (John. 11:39). I understood that God allowed this for all to be convinced that Lazarus was really dead, so that God's glory, power and might would be revealed through his death. He showed us that there is nothing impossible for Him.
Listening to the testimony of Boris Pilipchuk, and seeing him absolutely healthy, we see the hand of God in this. God performed a miracle according to His own will…" I will do all that pleases Me", says the Lord (Isa.46: 10). In these last days the Lord has decided to reveal Himself through man, in this case through Boris. We cannot deny the fact of Boris' resurrection. This took place in our days, just like when the Lord Jesus Christ resurrected Lazarus.
The belief in resurrection is everyone's personal business. God has given man freedom of choice. Remember when Jesus was raised from the dead, not every one believed. However, the fact of resurrection is not dependent on our views. A fact remains a fact. We can obtain eternal life, only if we believe in Jesus and His resurrection. (Jn. 3:36). He is The Way, The Truth and The Life – Jn. 14:6.
"Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" – Isa. 53:1, that is to say to whom has the Power of the Lord been revealed?
INTERVIEWER: – In conclusion, I express my confidence that many who have acquainted themselves with the testimony of Boris, will be convinced that for God there is nothing impossible and He performs miracles of resurrection in our day.
The audio and videocassettes (Russian only) of Boris Pilipchuk's testimony of resurrection are available at the Word of Faith Bible Church. You may acquire a copy for yourself.
Not to overload you BUT…this video segment confirms the same miracle of resurrection happened across the world in Nigeria. Enjoy! God wants us to understand the rhyme and reason for such an incredible act – that lives would be saved.

Saint Rebecca Pierrette Ar-Rayes: also known as Saint Rafka, was born in Lebanon in 1832. She was the only child born to her parents and at the age of 6, her mother passed away. Her father re-married and Rebecca did not get along with her stepmother. At 11, she got a job as a maid and at 14, told her father that she wished to become a nun. Her father objected but she joined the Order of the Immaculate Conception at the age of 21.
Later, when her order combined with another, she was given a choice to change. She joined the Order of Saint Anthony of Maronites and she prayed to be able to share in the suffering of Christ.Starting in 1885 she endured intense pain in her eyes and brow, eventually going blind. Still in pain, she suffered bleeding from the eye sockets and frequent nosebleeds. By 1907 she was almost completely paralyzed but often managed to crawl to the monastery's chapel to pray, a feat thought impossible. In spite of the pain, Saint Rebecca never complained.
Prior to her death, she dictated her autobiography. In the midst of suffering from tuberculosis, she prayed for an hour of sight to be able to see Mother Ursula, her superior. Her wish was granted. She passed away on March 23rd, 1914, was beatified in November 1985, and canonized in June 2001 by Pope John Paul II.
Saint Rebecca is the patron saint of lost parents and of the sick. Her feast Day is March 23rd.

You may have already known for a fact that getting out of bad habits is not that easy and it could take a lot of time before you are able to get your head around. If your habit involves eating a lot of sugar, stopping it abruptly will only cause withdrawal symptoms that you wouldn't like to experience. What experts did about this is making good swaps so you will feel as if you haven't really gone without it. There are a lot of people who are so excited to start putting up a diet but will eventually end up falling off the wagon because of the fact that they feel like they're depriving their bodies. You shouldn't really be hungry intentionally. Making some sensible swaps will definitely be the best way for you to work on your diet and habits because doing so won't give you nasty withdrawal symptoms and it is the most effective way for you to do some major changes that will make your life healthier.
There's no denying the fact that smokers already know how smoking can affect their health the worst way, yet they'd still want to smoke for as many as 50 a day! It's nobody's place to tell you that you should stop smoking, but you might want to consider making a change by using e-cigarettes instead of the traditional ones. You can actually still get a hit of nicotine as you prefer but you can avoid getting all those other chemicals and tar. The thing about e-cigarettes is that you can control the amount of nicotine you put which makes it a lot easier for you to make some gradual changes of the amount until you can achieve the point when you're fine without getting any nicotine at all anymore.
There's no question how people love their pasta, but this is actually one of the major reasons why people gain weight because carbs actually turns into sugar inside your body and when it is unused, it will then turn into fats. There are actually hundreds of diet plans you can find online that would only involve a small amount of carbs but you'll definitely find it hard enough because your body will tend to crave for carbs. The best way to trick your body from experiencing this is that you eat your carbs a couple of hours before you go to sleep because this will allow your body to use it efficiently the following day.

Govt plans merger of four public sector banks to overcome losses
AGE CORRESPONDENT WITH AGENCY INPUTS

Asset quality of the bank worsened as gross non-performing assets or bad loans surged.
Around 19 of the 21 state-run banks have reported losses for the fiscal, including country's largest lender State Bank of India.
Mumbai: Around 19 of the 21 state-run banks have reported losses for the fiscal, including country's largest lender State Bank of India.
To empower the financial strength of certain debt-ridden public sector banks the government is planning a merger of four state-run banks considering of IDBI Bank, Bank of Baroda, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Central Bank of India, according to HT reports. The merger will help the banks to overcome the losses incurred in the past.
Bank of Baroda had reported a net loss of Rs 3,102.34 crore for the January-March quarter of 2017-18. Provisions for bad loans jumped to Rs 7,052.53 crore in the March quarter, from Rs 2,425.07 crore in the same period of 2016-17, according to a regulatory filing by the bank. The government had earlier merged State Bank of India with five other banks and Bharatiya Mahila Bank.
Asset quality of the bank worsened as gross non-performing assets or bad loans surged. The merger would allow the banks to sell their assets and reduce the cost of operations, it also plans to shut the branches that are incurring huge losses. The total loss of the four banks was above Rs 21,500 crore in the last fiscal.
If the government proceeds with the merger as planned, then the merged banks combine will become the second-largest bank in India. Currently State Bank of India is the largest state-run bank in India.

В 1929 году поступил учиться в Шосткинский ХТИ, а в 1932 году перешел в ЛХТИ имени Ленсовета на специальный факультет, который окончил в 1933 году, получив специальность инженера-химика-исследователя.

В 1933 — 1940 годах работал на заводе № 5 НКБ СССР в Ленинграде, занимал последовательно должности мастера, начальника мастерской, начальника цеха, начальника производства, главного технолога.

В 1940 — 1944 годах главный инженер завода в городе Электростали, в 1944 году — главный инженер завода № 12 в Москве, в 1945 году — главный инженер треста трофейных боеприпасов. Вскоре переехал в Новосибирск, работал главным инженером оборонного завода № 386.

В конце 1945 года назначен директором завода № 309 в городе Чапаевске (Куйбышевская область). Там познакомился с Ю. Б. Харитоном, который пригласил его на работу в КБ-11.

Осенью 1947 года по решению ЦК ВКП(б) и постановлению СМ СССР направлен в КБ-11 и назначен на должность директора завода № 2. С этого момента его жизнь была связана с атомной промышленностью. Два года напряженного труда на уникальном по своей новизне и сложности производстве ознаменовались изготовлением и испытанием 29 августа 1949 года первой отечественной ядерной бомбы РДС-1. Анатолий Яковлевич был непосредственным участником этого события. Он провел последнюю операцию перед взрывом — снаряжение ядерного заряда капсюлями-детонаторами.

В марте 1952 года А. Я. Мапьский назначается директором завода № 3, входившего в то время в структуру КБ-11.

В 1953 году он становится заместителем директора КБ-11 по общим вопросам. И в этом же году направляется в город Свердловск-45 заместителем директора, с 1955 года он назначается директором завода «ЭХП» МСМ СССР. В 1964 году защитился на учёную степень кандидата технических наук.

В 1971 — 1986 годах директор Приборного завода «Сигнал» МСМ СССР (Обнинск, Калужская область). С 1986 года на пенсии.

С 1986 по 1989 год в качестве старшего преподавателя работал на Цикле Гражданской обороны Специальной кафедры ЦИПК МСМ СССР и на некоторых кафедрах Центрального института повышения квалификации руководящих работников и специалистов МСМ СССР, читал лекции на темы: «Ликвидация последствий при аварийных ситуациях на предприятиях отрасли», «Организация труда начальника цеха».

Умер 17 февраля 1989 года. Похоронен в Обнинске на Кончаловском кладбище.

I love them, they make a huge difference. There basically my headlights now and fill in the dark spots between the light bars I have on front of the truck. I went with the XML2 bulbs and have had them for close to three years and haven't had any issues, even when one of my fog light surrounds fillled up with water the light worked great. I hope this help! There interior lights are on my list to. Cheers!

Prefabricated Homes, sometimes called "prefab homes," are modular buildings that are made and assembled at a location other than the future site of the home. There are several advantages to this distinct type of home building.
First, prefabricated homes offer an accelerated building timeline. When the homes are assembled off-site, weather cannot delay building. Homebuyers do not have to worry about snow or rain delaying the day that they are able to enter their home for the first time.
A second advantage is flexibility of choice. Homebuyers can choose which elements they want to add to their home. Prefabricated houses often offer environmentally-friendly choices, and they contain modern design elements. As a buyer, you have freedom to choose how you would like to customize.
However, the biggest advantage of prefabricated homes is arguably the cost savings associated with purchasing this type of home. As stated above, home buyers can choose from a variety of home features while avoiding the extra cost that they would incur in a custom-built home.
Prefab homes are a great option for homebuyers looking to build a home without the headache. They provide easy building without weather delays and customized options on a budget. This is a great option for homebuyers to look at when searching for a new home.
We would be happy to tell you more about our prefab homes, so contact us today. We look forward to helping you find the perfect home!

Socio-economics & Climate Change
Victor Luca
27-Jun-22, Unpublished
The tremendous capacity that gases such as carbon dioxide have to absorb heat and alter climate was first demonstrated more than 150 years ago by Joiin Tyndall and then Svante Arrhenius. Since that time irrefutable scientific evidence has accumulated that the burning of fossil fuels generates carbon dioxide and other gases that endanger our planet's ability to maintain temperatures that are suitable to organized human life.
Figure 1. (a) Thwaites (doomsday) glacier, Antarctica, (b) Larsen C ice shelf, Antarctica, showing a new crack that developed in 2017, (c) example of permafrost thaw and (d) destruction of infrastructure due to permafrost thaw.
The first general warning to humanity regarding global warming was published in 1992 by the Union of Concerned Scientists. This warning was co-signed by 1,700 eminent scientists, including all Nobel laureates of the day. This first warning was followed up in 2017 by a second warning that was co-signed by 15,364 eminent scientists. A third warning was issued in 2019 related to ecosystem destruction.
Recent studies have established that the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change now exceeds 99.0%. Despite these and other warnings over the past decades, and recent shrill warnings by the IPCC and other professional bodies, little or nothing seems to deter our relentless march to self-destruction. More recently the question seems to be shifting from, not if human-caused climate change is occurring, to whether it is too late to do anything about it.
Although the degradation of Earth systems by humans is concerning and terrifying, these are symptoms of a more deep-rooted disease. The cause is the extraordinary 'success' of the human species and our inability to comprehend exponential growth and planetary limits coupled with a flagrant disregard for the impact we have on the systems that support us.
Scientific and technological advance has allowed us to live longer and dedicate more time to other productive and leisure activities. Two hundred years ago we lived much shorter lives and 99% of us would have spent most of our short lives doing hard labor associated with food production. Today, in developed countries, science and technology allows us to satisfy nutritional requirements of large numbers of people with a tiny fraction of the workforce thus freeing up the majority of us to do other things. In the future it is envisaged that automation will likely make many of us surplus to requirements. There may even be no need for the majority of humanity to work at all as the robots will do the hard yakka.
A system of quantitative computation facilitated by the advent of modern computers allowed MIT scientists in the early seventies to estimate when we would be in what was referred to as 'overshoot'. Overshoot is when consumption would exceed Earth's resource base. This system of computation was described in the famous book Limits to Growth that was published in 1972. The date at which overshoot was expected to occur was around the year 2000 give or take a decade or two.
So convinced was I more than three decades ago of the reality of human-induced climate change that I directed my own research toward climate change mitigation technologies including in lithium ion batteries and the photoelectrochemical generation of hydrogen.
In the 30 years since I started that work all I have witnessed is prevarication, vacillation and ignorance. Only now are we starting to see the very early stages of a desperately needed clean energy transition, although how clean it ultimately turns out to be remains to be seen. Whilst I am glad that that an incipient transition is finally underway, it has been very slow to get going and much precious time has been squandered. Weaning ourselves off our century-long fossil fuel addiction is not proving easy.
After half a century of denial and white-washing, the fossil fuel industry has now turned itself to green-washing. Even the much publicized COP 26 climate change conference held in Glasgow recently (31-Oct-13-Nov-21) turned out to be a relatively lame affair with too many concessions made to fossil fuels.
Although some progress was made, there is still much ignorance of the fact that climate change and environmental degradation are the result of the immense success of our species and acknowledgement that the coupling of scientific and technological advancement with a rapacious form of capitalism have combined to produce a toxic brew.
We desperately need a clean energy transition but we seem to be unaware of the fact that this transition requires the consumption of resources. For instance, for their manufacture, solar panels require a pure silica (SiO2) feed, lithium-ion batteries require lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and wind turbines require rare earth elements. Cars are complex objects requiring a wide assortment of elements including all the aforementioned elements plus aluminium, iron, polymers and so forth. The extraction of these elements is energy intensive. The complexity of modern automobiles makes them very difficult to deconstruct and recycle economically and the process is also energy intensive. That energy has traditionally been provided by cheap and abundant fossil fuels. It is what kicked off the industrial revolution in the first place.
As you read this article and look at your surroundings it should not be hard to figure out that everything you see was extracted through the exploitation of Earth's limited resources. From the bricks and mortar, steel and wood from which your home is built, the car you drive, the roads you drive on, the device you are using to read this column, the food you eat, air you breathe and water you drink. All of it!
Some have become intoxicated by the fantasy of green growth. That is, the belief that we can continue to grow in a manner that is benign to the environment.
Meanwhile, extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity and we are approaching tipping points in the climate system. These tipping points occur when we hit a negative feedback loop in the climate system that cannot be halted. For instance, the melting of ice reduces the back reflection of heat into the atmosphere which causes more warming which causes more ice to melt.
Currently, it is known that heating of the Polar Regions is occurring at 2-4 times the rate of the global average and this can hasten the melting of land and sea ice and the thawing of permafrost (Figure 1c).
Permafrost is frozen soil primarily found in the arctic regions. Not only does the melting of permafrost release carbon dioxide and methane, it also directly threatens billions of dollars of infrastructure (Figure 1d). Permafrost thaw also poses serious health risks since it is being increasingly recognized that bacteria and viruses locked in the permafrost for thousands of years could be released.
Figure 2. Glacier on Svabard, Norway taken in 1928 and 2002. Photo by Christian Åslund.
Melting of Polar ice also has the potential to raise sea level significantly and glaciers the world over are in retreat (Figure 2). The Thwaites glacier (Figure 1a), often referred to as 'the doomsday glacier', is one of the largest and evidence shows that it is at risk of parting company with the West Antarctic ice shelf. If this occurs, and the ice shelf melts, we are in for six meters of sea level rise. Melting of Greenland would contribute seven meters of sea level rise and Antarctica 57 meters. I have only addressed parts of the cryosphere which is only one of Earth's systems that are threatened with collapse. I will not mention the other problems that the increasing frequency of extreme weather events will pose and the number of climate refugees that will be generated looking for a new place to live.
It is also pretty clear that folk in our country living in coastal zones will not be spared either.
So how do we reconcile our relentless and obsessive pursuit of growth with the fact that we live on a finite planet? What must we do about all this?
I would like to believe that science can provide the tools to give us a fair chance of saving ourselves. However, societal and political will would still need to be mustered to act with urgency.
In 2006, the UK economist, banker and academic, Nicholas Stern, and his team, released a comprehensive review in which it was concluded that it was cheaper in economic terms to address climate change than to try to fix the mess once it happens, if it can be fixed at all. Sixteen years on and the Stern review is seldom mentioned and scant progress has been made.
Among the many inventions of modern man is an economic system in which money having no intrinsic value is created from thin air by governments. But money and value are not the same thing. Although it might be said that money makes the world go round, it is idiotic to think you can count the value of the life-support systems that sustain human life in dollar terms.
Where the money that governments create from thin air is spent is largely a political decision. Much of the money that we create goes toward speculation and is not directed toward productive activities that guarantee that our offspring, and theirs, will continue to prosper on this planet. What will we do with this money when we don't have a viable planet on which to live?
In April last year I gave a two and a half hour introductory lecture on the Science of Climate Change. That few people attended leads me to the conclusion that most people don't give a stuff. If I am flooded with requests to repeat the performance, it may give me hope that some in our community do care. I wont hold my breath.

MIAMI (CBS4) – Jose Baez, the lawyer who defended Casey Anthony in her murder trial, is in South Florida opening up a law firm and promoting his new book.
"What people are going to find with this book, is that this is not just a book about trial. It's a book about our justice system," said Baez.
"I think if I became a number 1 best seller for a straight year, I'd probably get bumped up to about $4 an hour. All the hours I put into this case. It was a significant personal sacrifice," he said.
His former client, Anthony, was accused of the first degree murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. A jury found Anthony not guilty last year.
Baez thinks Caylee drowned in the family pool and argues that Anthony's father knew about the death. But for some reason, he says, nobody called police.
We turned the conversation to George Zimmerman, accused of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman approached Baez for representation, but Baez did not take on the case.
"No one should read into that, meaning if I thought he was innocent or guilty or anything like that, but I'm just not at liberty to say any more," he said.
Jose Baez will sign copies of his book at Books & Books in Coral Gables on Monday night at 8 p.m.

Effect of Rotation and Revolution on Performance of Blade-Free Planetary Mixer
Author(s) Takayuki Yamagata, Nobuyuki Fujisawa
Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan.
In this study, flow structures and mixing performance in a blade-free planetary mixer, which combines rotation and revolution motions inside a cylindrical vessel, are numerically investigated. Flow fields in the mixer vessel are simulated in a single rotating reference frame with various revolution speeds and a fixed rotation speed. The mixing process is investigated by a Lagrangian particle tracking method and the mixing performance is evaluated based on particle concentration. The results of the numerical simulations show that a vortical flow with an axis inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the vessel is generated by the combined influence of the rotation and revolution motions. The flow structure and vortical flow intensity vary as a function of the precession rate, which is the ratio of the revolution speed to rotation speed. The mixing performance of the blade-free planetary mixer is found to be maximum at aspecific precession rate.
Blade-Free Planetary Mixer, Numerical Simulation, Particle Tracking, Flow Visualization, Mixing
Liquid blending and solid-liquid mixing are important operations in the production processes of various industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food. A typical method for the blending and mixing is agitation of a fluid in a vessel with impellers. Various techniques, such as visualization of mixing process [1] and velocity measurement by particle image velocimetry [2] [3] [4] , have been used to clarify the mixing mechanism and improve mixing performance. Theoretical consideration [5] and numerical simulations of mixing performance [6] - [13] were also performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which can be applied to prediction in practical problems. Although agitation is a typical mixing technique, there is a demand for blending and mixing without impellers and agitators for mixing liquids with higher viscosities.
A blade-free planetary mixer is a new technology for mixing liquids without impellers and agitators. This type of mixer can mix highly viscous fluids with less contamination as the flow in the vessel is induced by precession that combines rotation and revolution of the vessel. The fluid mechanics in a precessing cylinder, which is the basic principle of the blade-free planetary mixer, has been studied in connection with the instability of the fluid motion [14] . However, the design methodology of this type of mixer has not been thoroughly studied in literature, which may be due to the complexity of the flow field of the blade-free planetary mixer even in a laminar flow regime. Only a paper in literature is a numerical simulation of flow field in the blade-free planetary mixer of laminar flow [15] . It reported that spiral vortical flows were generated in the vessel, and their sizes, shapes, and rotation axes were influenced by the precession rate, which is the ratio of the revolution speed to the rotation speed. Nevertheless, the influence of the precession rate on laminar mixing performance has not been clarified, because it is difficult to evaluate the mixing performance only from the flow field information.
Two approaches to evaluate mixing performance with CFD have been reported in the literature: Eulerian-Lagrangian method [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] and Eulerian-Eulerian method [11] [12] [13] . The Eulerian-Lagrangian method was employed in this study, because this method is desirable for advection-dominated problems, and it can provide the trajectory of individual particles in the mixing process. An example of the Eulerian-Lagrangian method is the mixing performance analysis in a precessing sphere [10] . It was found that the flow mixing was enhanced under weak precession in the turbulent flow regime.
The objective of this study is to investigate the laminar mixing performance by numerical simulation in a blade-free planetary mixer, which is related to flow structures induced by the combined influence of rotation and revolution. The influence of the precession rate on the flow structure and mixing performance was also investigated.
2. Numerical Methods
2.1. Flow Field
Flow structures in a blade-freeplanetary mixer vessel were investigated by three-dimensional numerical simulations [16] . The simulations were carried out with the SRFPimpleFoam solver in OpenFOAM 4.1. The solver used in this study was an unsteady-state solver for incompressible Newtonian fluid flows including a rotating reference frame in the computational domain. However, the target flow field was the steady state laminar flow of blade-free planetary mixer. Fluid motion in a rotating frame is expressed by Navier-Stokes equations with the Coriolis and centrifugal forces acting as external forces, as well as continuity equation. The governing equations are written as follows:
∂ u ∂ t + u ⋅ ∇ u = − 1 ρ ∇ p + ν ∇ 2 u − 2 Ω × u − Ω × Ω × r (1)
∇ ⋅ u = 0 (2)
where t, u, p, ρ, and ν denote time, fluid velocity, pressure, fluid density, and viscosity, respectively. Note that the fluid velocity and position vectors are defined as the relative velocity and position vectors in the rotating frame. The third term on the right-hand side of Equation (1) is the Coriolis force, where Ω is the revolution speed of the rotating frame. The fourth term is the centrifugal force, where r represents the position vector from the revolution axis.
Figure 1 shows the computational configuration of a blade-free planetary mixer. The mixing vessel has cylindrical geometry with an inner diameter of d = 76 mm and a height of h = 77 mm. The rotation axis of the vessel was inclined 45 degrees with respect to the revolution axis. The revolution radius was Rrev = 83 mm at the bottom center of the vessel. The configuration of the mixer was determined based on an actual machine designed for the purpose of experimental investigation. The rotation speed of the vessel was set to nrot = 60 rpm, and the fluid was silicone oil with kinematic viscosity of ν = 1.5 × 10−5 m2/s to keep the flow regime laminar in the range of the computational conditions. Therefore, the Reynolds number was Re ( = 1 / 4 ⋅ ω r o t ⋅ d 2 / v ) = 605 ,where ωrot is the angular velocity. Note that the present Reynolds number is smaller than the critical Reynolds number of 1 × 104 in a stirred cylindrical vessel with weak precession [14] . Simulations were performed with revolution speeds of nrev = 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 rpm, and the precession rates in the simulation were Γ (= nrev/nrot) = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. The rotation and revolution directions were opposite.
The computational domain was in the cylindrical vessel which was filled with the fluid. At the wall boundaries of the vessel, the rotation speed was applied to define the rotational motion of the vessel. The governing equations were discretized using the finite volume method with the quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) scheme for the convective term and with the central differencing scheme for the other terms. The pressure implicit with splitting of

operator (PISO) algorithm was used to solve the governing equations. Independence of the grid convergence was evaluated using fine, medium, and coarse grids with 6.5 × 105, 3.8 × 105, and 4.8 × 104 cells, respectively. Root-mean-square errors for the velocity fields based on the fine grid were 0.1% and 1.8% for the medium grid and the coarse grid, respectively. Consequently, the medium grid shown in Figure 1 was used for numerical simulations in this study.
2.2. Mixing Performance
In this study, the mixing performance of the blade-free planetary mixer was evaluated by the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The degree of mixing can be estimated from the number density distribution of particles by tracking a sufficient number of the particles in the vessel. Particle trajectories were simulated with the Lagrangian particle tracking method as passive particles after flow in the vessel reached the steady state. In this study, for experimental validation, it was assumed that solid particles gravitated to the bottom before mixing and were transported throughout the vessel by mixing. The particles were spherical with 10 μm diameter, and the particle mass density was equal to the mass density of the fluid in order to evaluate the mixing performance of the flow field itself. Collisions between particles were ignored.
The mixing performance was evaluated by the mixing index, which was calculated based on the particle number density in the vessel [17] . The entire vessel was divided into N sub-domains. The relative particle number density ρi was defined as the ratio of the particle number density in the ith sub-domain to the maximum particle number density in all sub-domains. The standard deviation of the number density σ over all sub-domains is defined as follows:
σ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N ( ρ i − ρ m ) 2 (3)
where, ρm represents the average particle number density in the entire vessel. The mixing index Im is given by the following equation:
I m = 1 − 2 σ (4)
In this study, the number of sub-domains was N = 6000 and the number of supplied particles was 6000 per second.
3.1. Flow Structure
Velocity fields in a blade-free planetary mixer vessel were computed to understand the mixing mechanism. Figure 2 shows three-dimensional flow structures and cross-sectional velocity fields in the mixer vessel for a rotation speed of nrot = 60 rpm and precession rates Γ (= nrev/nrot) =0 (a), 0.25 (b), 0.5 (c), and 1 (d). The results for Γ = 0.75 are omitted because they are similar to the results for Γ = 1. Streamlines (left) are shown to analyze the three-dimensional flow structures, and velocity magnitude contours of the in-plane velocity components are shown
Figure 2. Flow structures and cross-sectional velocity fields: (a) nrev = 0 rpm (Γ = 0), (b) nrev = 15 rpm (Γ = 0.25), (c) nrev = 30 rpm (Γ = 0.5), and (d) nrev = 60 rpm (Γ = 1). Each column shows the streamlines (left), velocity contours in the x-z plane (middle), and in the y-z plane (right).
in the x-z plane (middle) and in the y-z plane (right). The velocity component was normalized by the wall velocity U0 (= 1 2 d ω rot ). At this Reynolds number, a steady flow was observed after a certain transient state. The results from panel (a) show circular streamlines parallel to the bottom and no in-plane velocity component due to the two-dimensional rotating flow. In the precession cases, the streamlines show the generation of vortical flows with axes inclined with respect to the spin axis of the vessel. The velocity fields for the lower precession rate of Γ = 0.25 (b) show strong rotational flow in the vertical cross-section, but the flow structure was nearly two-dimensional. The results for Γ = 0.5 (c) show a spiral axis of the rotating flow and a complex vortical flow structure. Non-axisymmetric rotating flow was observed in the x-z plane, and twin corner vortices occurred near the upper left and lower right corners in the y-z plane. As the precession rate increases further, the flow structure for Γ = 1 (d) became more complex. However, the low-speed region extended around the vortical flow axis. These characteristics of the vortical flow structure with the spiral and inclined axis in the blade-free planetary mixer are similar to the results from others presented in the literature [15] . The occurrence of the rotating flows in the vertical cross-section of the cylindrical vessel is caused by the inclination of the axis of the rotating flow, which is caused by the Coriolis force due to revolution. It is noted that the rotating flow does not occur in the cylindrical vessel without revolution. With increasing the precession rate, the flow around the axis of the rotating flow is highly magnified due to the instability of the rotating flow [14] . Therefore, the complex flow pattern due to the Coriolis force is generated in the vessel and results in the enhancement of flow mixing in the blade-free planetary mixer.
The mixing performance was investigated by tracking tracer particles in the vessel and evaluating the particle number density. Figure 3 shows the temporal evolution of particle mixing in the vertical (x-z) plane. The particle positions were calculated based on the velocity field at different precession rates of (a) Γ = 0, (b) 0.25, (c) 0.5, and (d) 1. Particles were supplied near the bottom surface. The degree of mixing converged to a steady state in any cases by t = 200 s after mixing began. In the case of only rotation (a), the particles remained at the bottom of the vessel due to the two-dimensional rotational flow. In the case of Γ = 0.25 (b), some particles moved to the upper region along the vessel walls by the rotating flow induced through the combined effect of rotation and revolution. However, the particles continued to move in the outer area along the vessel walls. This result indicates that although the rotating flow axis was inclined with respect to the vessel spin axis, the flow in the vessel was a two-dimensional rotating flow. As the revolution speed increased, the particles were dispersed throughout the vessel and particle mixing was maximized for Γ = 0.5 (c). The relatively high concentration of particles was observed in the lower part of the vessel due to the supply of particles from the bottom surface. As the revolution speed increased further, unmixed areas were observed for Γ = 1 (d) due to the low-speed rotating flow region in the y-z plane (Figure 2).
To quantify the mixing performance, the mixing index was evaluated from the particle number density at different precession rates. Figure 4 summarizes the mixing index in the steady state as the precession rate varies. As shown in the figure, the precession rate for Γ = 0.5 shows the highest mixing index value. The mixing index at Γ = 0.25 was comparatively lower, though strong rotating flow occurred in the vertical plane. At higher precession rates, the mixing index gradually decreased due to the occurrence of the unmixed region, since the low-speed region extended around the rotating flow axis. These results indicate that the moderate precession enhances the mixing performance by the magnified rotating flow, but too strong precession prevents the formation of the large-scale vortical flow. Therefore, an optimum precession rate, which is around Γ =0.5, is found to enhance the mixing performance of a blade-free planetary mixer. It should be mentioned that the optimum precession rate in a precessing sphere operating in a turbulent flow [10] was reported at Γ = 0.1. Therefore, the optimum precession rates may be affected by the influence of container shapes, precession angles, Reynolds numbers and the laminar or turbulent flow. Therefore, further investigation is needed to clarify the influence of these parameters on the optimum precession rate.
Figure 3. Temporal evolution of mixing of tracer particles from the bottom of the vessel: (a) nrev = 0 rpm (Γ = 0), (b) nrev = 15 rpm (Γ = 0.25), (c) nrev = 30 rpm (Γ = 0.5), and (d) nrev = 60 rpm (Γ = 1).
Figure 4. Mixing index versus precession rate.
The flow structures and the mixing performance of a blade-free planetary mixer were investigated by numerical simulations. The flow fields in the mixer vessel were determined by solving the Navier-Stokes equation considering the influence of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces in a rotating reference frame. The mixing process was numerically visualized by a particle tracking method, and the mixing index was evaluated from the concentration of particles. In the numerical results, a vortical structure with an axis inclined with respect to the rotation axis was induced by the combined influence of rotation and revolution at lower precession rates. This vortical flow generated a rotating flow in the vertical cross-section of the vessel. As the precession rate increases, vortical flows showed complex three-dimensional flow structures with a spiral rotation axis. It is found from the present numerical simulation that the laminar mixing performance of the blade-free planetary mixer becomes maximum around the precession rate 0.5, which is contributed by the occurrence of rotating flow with an inclination angle to the spin axis and the generation of highly magnified flow around the axis caused by the precession. However, too strong precession prevents the formation of the large-scale vortical flow.

I have a function getAnnotated that iterates through the countries to make an array of AnnotatedItem.  That is used in Map and gets looped through as item to actually create the MapAnnotation.  Then item is passed into a helper function getCountry.  I filter through countries to get the country that has the same display_name field as item.
The desired behavior is to have an annotation/marker over each country and tapping on that annotation will pop up a modal/sheet that gives info on the country.
My issue is that if I am zoomed in and on screen is only a single annotation/marker, the proper country is displayed when clicking on it.
If I zoom out on the map and there are multiples annotations, every annotation I tap pops up the same country info for each one. I assume there is something wrong with the way I am looping.

                Button(action: {
                    showSheet.toggle()
                }){
                    Image(systemName: "airplane")

                .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) {
                    SheetView(country: getCountry(newItem: item))
                }

            }
        }
    }

}

A: I would try something like this to achieve the desired behaviour:
class SelectedCountry: ObservableObject {
    @Published var item: AnnotatedItem = AnnotatedItem(name: "no name", coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D())
}

struct MapView: View {
    @ObservedObject var selected = SelectedCountry()  // <--- here
    @State var showSheet = false

    ...

    var body: some View {
        Map(coordinateRegion: $region, annotationItems: getAnnotated()) { item in
            MapAnnotation(coordinate: item.coordinate) {
                Button(action: {
                    selected.item = item  // <--- here
                    showSheet.toggle()
                }){
                    Image(systemName: "airplane")
                        .foregroundColor(.white)
                        .padding()
                }
                .background(Circle())
                .foregroundColor(Color.green)
            }
        }
        // ---> put the sheet here
        .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) {
            SheetView(country: getCountry(newItem: selected.item))
        }
    }

Why are we making a proposal to close the small group and individual instrumental teaching part of East Sussex Music?
The Arts Council England grant and income we receive from schools and from parents who pay lesson fees does not cover the whole cost of the delivery of instrumental teaching by East Sussex Music. A saving of £180k is needed to ensure East Sussex Music is financially sustainable. While a number of savings have been identified, it has not yet been possible to identify an alternative delivery model for instrumental teaching which would deliver all of the required savings and would meet the Arts Council requirements (a condition of the grant). East Sussex Music is not a statutory service and because of cuts to public funding, local authorities find themselves in a position where difficult decisions are being made about cutting much valued services.
£10m cuts are also proposed for Adult Social Care, seven libraries and the Mobile Library have closed, £400k has been cut from the budget for grass cutting and Early Help services for vulnerable families are being reviewed with an expectation of £2.6m savings being delivered. The Director of Children's Services has made it clear that he does not think it is right to identify additional funding for East Sussex Music by cutting other statutory services. Please see the related documents at the bottom of this page for more information on statutory children's services and the Lead Member report.
What will happen if the instrumental teaching part of the Music service closes?
Working with our partners as part of the East Sussex Music Education Hub, we want to ensure children and young people from a variety of backgrounds are able to enrich their lives through having access to affordable opportunities to learn a musical instrument and to come together to make music.
3136 children are currently learning a musical instrument through group or individual lessons with East Sussex Music. If this part of the service closes lessons would be available through the private market or through other organisations. Many children in East Sussex already access instrumental lessons in this way.
East Sussex Music would still run Area Music Centres, summer schools and special projects, providing opportunities for young musicians to play together. Please see the related documents at the bottom of this page to see a fuller list of what East Sussex Music would continue to deliver.
This survey asks for your views about the proposal to close the small group and individual instrumental teaching part of East Sussex Music after September 2019. Your views will help us to understand the potential impact and identify what we could do to address your concerns. We regret and acknowledge that if this part of the music service closes, there may be some negative impact on music opportunities for some young people who learn to play an instrument via East Sussex Music and therefore we are interested in exploring alternative options to closure and would like to hear of any alternative proposals you might have.
There is a separate survey from young people.
Other services that East Sussex Music provides, such as whole class instrumental tuition in schools, orchestras, bands and choirs at Area Music Centres and summer schools and the East Sussex Academy of Music are not included in this consultation as these services will continue.
We want to reassure you that if the proposal goes ahead, we will provide information about what instrumental teaching would continue to be available from other providers in East Sussex.
We will be able to report on a final decision about the proposal in September 2018.

HOW MUCH ENERGY AND MONEY CAN I SAVE WITH ZYPHO?
The high efficiency of heat recovery allows to an average family with 3 daily showers to save over 200€ per year, which results in an exceptionally short payback period of less than 2 years.
WHERE CAN ZYPHO BE INSTALLED?
Thanks to its unique design, the ZYPHO is versatile and therefore suitable not only for domestic bathrooms but also for non-residential applications like sports facilities, hotels, campsites, hospitals, prisons, factory shower rooms, etc.
