Will 'Twin Peaks: The Return' Return For Season 2? David Lynch May Have Poured His Last Cup Of "Damn Good Coffee"
For 25 years, fans waited for David Lynch to return to the unsettling world he created with his short-lived ABC show Twin Peaks and its movie prequel, Fire Walk With Me. Now, after Showtime finally revived the series, it feels like it's already come and gone in the blink of an eye. Will Twin Peaks: The Return return for Season 2? Or will the Sept. 3 finale be the last trip viewers take to the Double R Diner?
I've got good and bad news for you, so let's get the bad news out of the way first: the upcoming two-hour finale is almost certainly the end of the road for Twin Peaks. But every cloud has a silver lining, and the good news here is... that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"A lot of people are speculating," Showtime CEO David Nevins told Deadline at the Television Critics Association press tour in early August. "But there's been zero contemplation [about a second season], zero discussions other than fans asking me about it." But Nevins was quick to dispel the notion that the choice to not continue Twin Peaks had anything to do with The Return's poor ratings performance. Even though relatively few people watch the show live, the show "has had a very palpable effect on our subscriber levels for multiple months now," Nevins told IndieWire, also at the TCA in August. "It kind of did its job, for being such an unusual show for us."
Rather, the choice to end Twin Peaks now was entirely up to co-creator David Lynch, and it would be up to him if he did end up deciding he wanted to revisit the spooky Washington township sometime in the future. "It was always intended to be one season," Nevins confirmed to Deadline in the article previously referenced. But "the door's always open to David Lynch," should he want to pursue a second season, Showtime programming president Gary Levine teased.
For now, Lynch seems content to let The Return stand alone and speak for itself — especially given the amount of work involved in resurrecting a cult classic series 26 years after it went off the air. "This was a Herculean effort," Levine told Deadline. "I'm not sure if any director has ever done 18 hours in a row of a series. It's remarkable what he achieved, fans are liking it, and for me that's what's satisfying."
To be fair, while some fans are indeed liking Lynch's even-more-surreal-than-expected return to Twin Peaks, others are not enjoying it nearly as much. For every critic who has hailed The Return as "glorious" (like Slate's Laura Miller), there's another who felt "utterly duped" by the "indulgent, incomprehensible, taxing" revival (like TVLine's Michael Ausiello). But whether you loved the new Twin Peaks, or loved to hate it, it will be sad to see such a refreshingly bizarre cultural touchstone come to an end.

It was my father's birthday this week; he would have been 75. I thought I'd like to show some pictures of him at work since he seemed to do a lot of the same stuff we do here in Canada nowadays: hauling gear, exposure tests, driving, walking, beards, and the CBC.
Adam – lovely way to show off your Dad's other talent!! See you have taken a leaf and have some great stuff of your own.
I esp. like the one with the CBC wagon behined him – even though it was before my time with you – it is very familiar looking – now I just need to see a photo of the Green GMC van to make me feel complete!!
Hi Adam! What a great surprise to see these photos – I hooked into them from your Mom's facebook spot…they bring back lots of wonderful memories as of course I first met your Dad in 1970 – and about that time he and your mom lived on the top floor, and Alan and I lived on the bottom floor in Vancouver of course – we were young then! It is wonderful that you are going through his photos and choosing some to show – do hope all is going well for you and with your photography – I hope to catch up with your mom sometime soon. The last time I heard she was in Turkey….Ken and Kim and their 3 kids are in Revelstoke again, and Andy is married and living in Lansing MI finishing his degree in political theory. I am fully retired and loving it. Cheers for now Adam…wishing you all the very best.

Kanye West Seeking "Behavioural" Treatment
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman
Following Fivio Foreign's reports that his friend and "Off The Grid" collaborator Kanye West is "healing from all the stress," Page Six has come forward with claims from a source who says that the father of four is currently looking around for a "behavioural treatment" centre to enroll in – hopefully of the "luxury" variety.
"West's team has been looking at treatment facilities for him," a source informed the outlet. "He wants to enter a behavioural treatment centre to be a better human and a better dad," they continued.
This isn't the first report regarding Ye's mental health that has come from Page Six's sources as of late. Just last week, they claimed that the 44-year-old was "going away to get help" following his public feuds with a handful of other celebrities, although Jason Lee (the rapper's media manager) shot those down.
"Most all are being fed to media by 'sources close to the Kardashians,' which have been creating a false narrative that not only is untrue but further compromises his goal of creating a healthy environment for the beautiful children he shares with Kim. He's been focused on taking care of himself, being a present and loving father and a creative genius well before all the false headlines we've seen as recent," Lee said at the time.
"If you don't hear it from [West's] mouth, read it from his social media, or get it from a press release he approved it's simply false," the Hollywood Unlocked CEO added, which gives the latest reports of "luxury" treatment a bit less merit.
During an appearance on Good Morning America, the "Flashing Lights" artist's ex shared her thoughts on Ye's social media attacks, saying, "You wanna take the high road, and sometimes it's hard. But I think that at the end of the day, everyone has their own way of communicating. I've always been, like, a champion of him speaking his truth, and I would always want that."
"Kanye and I will always be family. At the end of the day, I just want my kids to be happy and healthy, and think the world of their dad, and they do."
The Yeezy founder's Instagram page remains blank, and he hasn't publicly spoken in quite some time, but we wish him the best. Check back in with HNHH later for any updates on Ye and your other favourite artists.

Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that CQUniversity, an Australian university with ten campuses and more than 21,00 students and staff, has migrated its critical IT systems to Red Hat solutions. CQUniversity implemented Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite and has since realized significant cost savings, increased performance, ease of management and reliable, ongoing support.
CQUniversity offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses on-campus and through distance education. The University relies heavily on the reliability and stability of its IT environment on a daily basis. Its technology powers critical finance, human resources and student-administration systems. With campuses and students located across various time zones, CQUniversity requires an infrastructure that supports standard operation at all hours of the day.
For a number of years, the University serviced its student body and faculty with an extensive HP Tru64 UNIX deployment. As the University continued to expand and demand more from its technology infrastructure, its IT department knew it was quickly outgrowing its existing IT system and needed a reliable alternative.
"We knew the time was coming for a change, particularly when we knew we would need more than eight CPUs for a single database server," said Bruce Young, PeopleSoft systems engineer at CQUniversity. "HP Tru64 UNIX was a discontinued product, and we didn't have unlimited funds to throw at the problem, so we were forced to look at more cost-effective alternatives for expanding our capacity."
In late 2006, CQUniversity's IT team decided that from both a hardware and software perspective, Red Hat Enterprise Linux was its operating system of choice. "We looked at a few different configurations, including Solaris on Sun T2000 servers and Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Dell, but it was quite obvious that the HP Blade Servers together with Red Hat Enterprise Linux provided a winning combination that met our needs," said Young.
Today, CQUniversity runs 12 HP Blade Servers with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for its databases. Ten additional Blades run CQUniversity's middleware solutions to support its applications. "Already, Red Hat Enterprise Linux has proven to be a fundamental component of our infrastructure, and while we're running more environments than before, we're running them a lot faster," said Young.
The University has also extended Red Hat Enterprise Linux to its research students and staff, using Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, Red Hat's reliable systems management solution, to efficiently manage its IT deployment and keep it updated without additional, costly resources. RHN Satellite offers a centralized management tool that enables users to manage server systems more efficiently. With RHN Satellite, CQUniversity has been able to reallocate resources to focus on proactive, high-value roles, instead of reactively maintaining complex systems and lifecycles.
Since putting its production systems into operation in April 2007, CQUniversity has completed the initial stage of its migration. To date, the University has realized immediate savings of approximately $100,000 when compared to Solaris on Sun T2000 servers. In addition to carving out costs, CQUniversity has experienced a boost in server performance, which has increased by between 20 and 30 percent, and enjoyed an easy-to-deploy solution.
"We're definitely impressed with the initial cost savings and the boost to server performance, and we also expect further long-term savings on licensing costs," said Young. "The reality is that for our budget, Red Hat Enterprise Linux has enabled us to do what we set out to complete. With Red Hat solutions, we didn't have to resort to a poor band-aid job, as would have happened if we had chosen a proprietary solution."
For the future, CQUniversity has plans to transition additional systems to its new Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform.

Problems with Marketplace Fairness Act Still Need to be Addressed H-1B Increase Can't Wait 'Til Next Year
Copyright Ruling Today A Win For Aereo, Future Of Cloud Computing
CCIA Staff April 1, 2013
An online service that allows monthly subscribers to record TV programs and watch them later on any Internet connected device won a key court victory today. The Court of Appeals for the Second upheld a lower court ruling that went against those arguing that Aereo's service breaks copyright law.
The Computer & Communications Industry Association had filed an amicus brief in the Aereo case, asking for today's outcome — that the lower court ruling be upheld. CCIA explained in its brief that many companies beyond Aereo had relied on the interpretation of copyright law from the 2008 Cablevision case that helped define the difference between public and private performances on the Internet. This was a key decision for people who use the various personal music lockers online and also for companies that sprung up to offer cloud services after the Cablevision case. CCIA offered a study it commissioned by Harvard Business School professor Josh Lerner that quantified the jump in venture capital investment in cloud computing after the Cablevision ruling. The Cablevision ruling could have been narrowed or compromised had the appeals court not upheld the Aereo decision.
The following can be attributed to CCIA President & CEO Ed Black:
"This case was not just about broadcast television; it was a test of the legitimacy of the cloud computing industry. Today, the Second Circuit agreed with us that users should be able to access their own, lawfully-acquired content in the cloud without the fear of being branded pirates."
"As technology evolves, the battles to block it are unfortunately similar to those faced decades ago. Too often still, some entrenched businesses would rather sue than evolve. We saw that in the 1980s when TV and movie makers tried to block the Betamax so consumers couldn't record content to watch later and again with the Aereo case as more people use the Internet to watch programs later. Today's ruling is a victory for consumers, but also for the growing cloud industry that will now be able to better offer opportunities for them to watch the content they want on the device of their choice."
The following can be attributed to CCIA Vice President Matt Schruers:
"Today's decision reaffirms the Cablevision principle. Cablevision established that when an online service makes a user-made copy available to the user, this is not a performance 'to the public' of that content for purposes of copyright law. This is one of the primary functions of cloud computing services: making copies of users' files available to those users over the Internet. To have resolved this case any other way would have cast a shadow of uncertainty over an extraordinary trend of investment and growth in the cloud computing sector."

Samsung's first Android Go phone takes a major step towards release
By Chris Smith July 12, 2018 10:26 pm BST
Credit: SamMobile
The specs are unlikely to excite smartphone fans, but the rumoured Samsung Android Go phone will be one of the more intriguing phones to arrive this year.
Now the device, said to be running the lightweight version of Google's mobile operating system, has moved a step closer to reality. It appears the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has certified the phone for sale in the United States.
Unfortunately, the filing doesn't give anything away, beyond the model numbers SM-J260G, SM-J260G/DS, SM-J260Y, and SM-J260Y/DS, which have been previously rumoured for the phone (via UberGizmo).
However, this does seem to confirm Samsung is planning to launch the device in western territories like the US and Europe. Reportedly, Samsung has been testing the handset in "dozens" of markets around the world, including the UK, as it "tests the waters" for a release.
Related: What is Android Go?
Recent speculation has tipped the phone to have a 5-inch Super AMOLED screen, a 1.4GHz quad cor Exynos 7570 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and a 2600mAh battery. In terms of cameras, the leak suggests it would be an 8MP affair on the rear, and 5MP on the front. The device is expected to ride the Android 8.1 Oreo version of the Go OS.
Android Go was announced back at MWC 2018 back in February. It comes loaded with lightweight Google apps like YouTube and Chrome. There's also a dedicated version of the Play Store where developers can create optimised versions of their apps.
As well as providing access to Google's prime tools for those in developing nations, the operating system has also been spied for users seeking affordable weekend phones.

Orion's fourth concert will serve up lighter fare to usher in the summer. The first half of the program features music written for movies or operas, including John Williams' hauntingly beautiful theme from Schindler's List (adapted for violin and piano), and the playful and klezmer-like theme (for clarinet and piano) from The Terminal. In addition, two renowned opera composers will be represented by fantasies based on their works: Beethoven's "Variations on a Theme from Mozart's Don Giovanni," adapted for clarinet and piano by Simeon Bellison; and Liszt's "Fantasie on Themes from Verdi's Rigoletto" for piano. In each case, the well-known tunes of the themes provides a basis for virtuosic play.
The second half of the program features a large chamber work by celebrated composer Alexander Borodin. "String Quartet No. 2" connects with the theme of the program in reverse, as it were; that is, other composers later arranged some of its themes for use in dramatic works. Written in 1881 during a calm satisfying summer in the countryside, Borodin's brilliantly original second String Quartet, in D Major, is assured in its craftsmanship and satisfying in its emotional content. The famous third-movement Nocturne contains the originals of tunes now well-known from their use later in Kismet and elsewhere. The other movements provide equally delightful themes and textures. For this work, Orion will be joined by guest violinist Baird Dodge of the CSO.

"Seven." I whispered against his mouth.
"What if I want to drop out and hermit myself in my room?" I refused to look at him.
I knew the time was ticking by, it seemed the less time we had the faster it went, I guess that's life.
"Time's up," he said gruffly.
"We're no longer friends." I said it as a statement, not even a question.

"The Stranger From Seville" takes audiences on a journey of love and revolution
Home /Music, Opinion, Reviews, Theater/"The Stranger From Seville" takes audiences on a journey of love and revolution
Music,Opinion,Reviews,Theater |
WINTER PARK — The new play "The Stranger From Seville" is about love and passion, about nature and the mysterious and wonderous world of birds, and about revolution — both highly familiar and also exotically original themes for musical theater.
Set in the Yucatan on the eve of the Mexican Revolution, it has heroes and villians and a world that proves to be irresistable to theater audiences. And it was a real pleasure to have the first act of this exciting new play get its premiere here in Central Florida, as part of the Second Annual Festival of New Musicals at the Winter Park Playhouse.
The new musical "The Stranger From Seville" had its premiere at the Winter Park Playhouse as part of the Second Annual Festival of New Musicals.
The festival not only put a happy spotlight on new musicals that get an early test run, hopefully, on their way to finding audiences in other cities and nations but also introduces the artists behind the work.
"The Stranger From Seville" was the creation of Victor Kazan, who wrote the book and the lyrics, and Kevin Purcell, who composed the score.
Both men came here from Melbourne, Australia to see their work produced in an elegant reading as part of the Playhouse's Festival — although "reading" sounds a bit misleading, since the cast of 11 performers, working under superb musical director Shane Ffrench, gave it the feeling of an extravagant and emotionally gripping full production.
What Was The Inspiration For This Play?
As Kazan noted during a talkback session with the audience after the show, the play had its origins in a long flight that Purcell was preparing to board. He stopped in the airport bookstore and found a novel called "The Mapmaker Opera" by a Spanish-Canadian author, Béa Gonzalez.
By the time his plane had landed, Purcell had read the book, and he quickly contacted Kazan to say he'd found the perfect vehicle for their next musical.
Kazan read the book and agreed that the story was ideal for a musical drama.
"We've been collaborating for 25 years, and we realized we worked very elegantly together," Kazan said. "Kevin and I were looking for a subject for a musical, and I fell in love with it as much as he did, and it lent itself to a musical adaptation."
They were also thrilled with the opportunity to fly to Orlando and have an opportunity to be among six new musicals presented to the Playhouse's audience during this festival.
Because the festival had the challenge of juggling six productions over a four-day schedule, it was mandatory that the musicals be confined to about an hour, so the authors opted to present the show's first act.
Set in 1909, on the eve of the Mexican Revolution in the City of Mérida in the Yucatán region of Mexico, the play presents a contrast between the townspeople joyously celebrating the happy sounds of their Mariachi with the Mayan slaves who labor miserably in the open fields. The plantation owner Don Victor Blanco owns a lot of the area's land, and is also an avid collector of rare birds.
That attracts the attention of Edward Nelson, an American Naturalist with a passion for birds who arranges a meeting with Blanco in the hope of convincing him to liberate his birds from their cages.
But Blanco quickly refuses; there is no point in having birds to admire if they can simply fly away, he says, while adding that the same logic applies to his slaves.
We soon meet others, including Diego Clemente, a handsome young man who has just arrived from Seville to work with Norton, and who can draw and paint birds; Sofia Duarte, the beautiful young woman who becomes Diego's love interest; and the comical Very Useful — who insists that's his real name, as opposed to, say, Very Handsome — who is Nelson's personal assistant.
At the same time, revolution is in the air. The cruelty inflicted on the Mayans by plantation owners like Blanco means that bubbling under the surface is a radically explosive situation.
What Was The Playhouse Production of this Musical Like?
The Playhouse staged the production without sets or costumes, but the music was so intoxicating at times, and the singers so uniquely talented, that you hardly noticed.
And while the cast did in fact read lines from their production books, that didn't matter much either, considering that the audience got a cast that included some of the Playhouse's most captivating singers and actors from earlier productions.
That included Zach Nadolski, who used completed a marvelous run in the Playhouse's production of "Gigolo: The New Cole Porter Musical,", here playing the wide-eyed, innocent, and decidedly love struck Diego; and Dave Thome, who charmed Playhouse audiences in productions like "The Fantasticks!" and here has a commanding presence as Norton, the naturalists who feels a heavy weight on his shoulder while coping with the intricate situations in the Yucatan
So many others were excellent, including Brandon Martin as the comical but wise sage Very useful; Ashley Rodrigues as the fiercely independent young Sophia; and Dustin Cunningham as Blanco, whose charm and suave manners mask his vicious ruthlessness.
Watching just the first act made me long to see more, to find out where the emerging passion between Diego and Sophia takes us, to see how the cast copes with the revolution, and to learn whether Norton's often cynical musings about life prove to be correct.
Interesting, "Gigolo," the musical by Paul Gilger, was originally part of the Winter Park Playhouse's Festival Of New Musicals, and then they invited him back for a full-scale production of his clever and enchanting show.
Hopefully, "The Stranger From Seville" will make a return to the Playhouse in the future, this time so audiences can see this production in its entirety.
And kudos to the Winter Park Playhouse for introducing these new musicals to local audiences, giving the patrons a terrific opportunity to discover a new work before it "makes it big," while also allowing audiences to offer feedback on a work in progress.
The Winter Park Playhouse is at 711 Orange Ave. in Winter Park. To learn more about their upcoming season of shows, visit their website or call 407-645-0145.

Vietnam, Indonesia agree to boost marine, fishery cooperation Vietnam's Macroeconomic Report-Fourth Quarter 2019 unveiled Vietnam, China should develop stable ties together: Party official
Vietnamese consumer confidence in top 10 despite slight fall
Despite a slight decrease of 2 percentage points in the second quarter of 2016, Vietnamese consumer confidence continues staying at a high level, ranking as the 7th most optimistic country in the world, according to the latest Consumer Confidence Index released by global information and measurement company Nielsen.
The report also reveals that consumers in Southeast Asia are still among the most confident across the globe, reaching 113 points (up 3 percentage points compared to the last quarter). Philippines hit a new record in this quarter, posting a score of 132 points (an up of 13 percentage points, the biggest quarterly increase) that helps the country surpass India to become the most optimistic country worldwide.
Indonesian remains in the third place with 119 points (+2pp). Consumer confidence in Thailand edged down 4 points to 101, while Malaysia jumped 6 points to 87. Singapore maintained the 88 points from the previous quarter. (See chart 1).
"At the height of the internet of things, the market sentiment immediately and clearly reflects the Good, the Bad, and the Neutral.
Vietnamese consumers pay close attention to what is happening, easily influenced by word of mouth, social media, and other news sources, and quickly react to changes. This requires even faster actions from manufacturers and retailers to foresee and address these concerns before they settle in consumption decisions.
However, it is a fact that Vietnamese people continue to be optimistic about the local economy, markedly more so than in other nations, encouraged by the continued growth of the middle class and a stable governmental economic outlook," said Nguyen Huong Quynh, managing director of Nielsen Vietnam.
Chart 1: Nielsen Consumer Confidence Index, Southeast Asia, Q2'2016
Chart 2: Spending and saving intentions of Vietnamese consumers, Q2/2016
Chart 3: Major concerns
Big savers and occasional big spenders
Southeast Asian consumers continue to be among the world's most avid savers, with more than two thirds (68 per cent) putting aside their spare cash. When it comes to savings, consumers in Vietnam keep the highest sum globally (76 per cent), followed by Indonesia (70 per cent), the Philippines (65 per cent), Malaysia & Singapore (63 per cent), and Thailand (62 per cent).
Along with channelling spare cash into savings, consumers in Vietnam are also eager to spend on big ticket items. The survey also revealed that, after covering essential living expenses, around two in five Vietnamese consumers are willing to spend on big ticket items, such as holidays and vacations (41 per cent, with a 5 per cent increase since the last quarter), new clothes (38 per cent), and out-of-home entertainment (37 per cent).
"Vietnamese consumers are known for prioritizing saving over spending, and this mentality largely influences their spending patterns, especially for basic commodities," observes Quynh. "Conversely, rising disposable income is driving the desire to seek out lifestyle upgrades, such as vacations and buying new technology or clothes."
Political stability and crime now among top concerns
Health remains a key concern for Vietnamese consumers, with nearly one third (32 per cent) citing it either as their first or second priority over the next six months. Job security and economic uncertainty remain second and third as concerns go (29 and 26 per cent, respectively).
Political stability (8 per cent) and crime (8 per cent) emerge among the other major worries in the country. Additional items on the list include work/life balance (21 per cent), increasing utility bills (13 per cent), and food prices (12 per cent), as well as parents' welfare and happiness (8 per cent).
"Consumers are looking to lead healthier lives. As a result, it comes as no surprise that health continues to be a top concern. Besides, while consumers continue to be upbeat about their future, financial security remains another top priority. Both job security and economic outlook have a direct impact on consumers' degree of financial security and hence remain key concerns," emphasised Quynh.

A lying woman who swindled more than £85,000 in benefits she wasn't entitled to has avoided jail.
Jenette Bishop, aged 54, pocketed three types of payment claiming she was living alone over a period of nine years – when in fact she sharing a house with a partner who was in paid work.
Bishop, of Bowden Park Road, Eggbuckland, had already pleaded guilty to three counts of dishonesty, failing to notify a change of circumstances affecting a benefit claim on different dates from March 2005 to December 2014.
She was paid income support, housing benefit and employment support allowance to which she was not entitled while living with Mr West.
During Bishop's sentencing at Plymouth Crown Court on Monday, the court heard how the defendant had gone on several holidays each year with Mr West, and had several home luxuries, including a Sky subscription.
Piers Norsworthy, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "Whilst the defendant told the [The Department for Work and Pensions] of certain changes to the household [over the years], she did not mention Mr West living with her.
Mitigating, Emily Cook said the pre-sentence report highlights a "number of difficulties" in Bishop's life.
Judge Taylor said he read the report with "great care" and took these "personal issues" into account.
He said: "All of these offences are extremely serious and in my view, considering the length of time these offences were committed and the amounts involved, I have to consider a custodial sentence.
"This matter clearly passes the custodial threshold and you do have a number of previous convictions, although the last was in 1998, which is a long time ago.
"I took great care over the pre-sentence report which has led me to my judgment I am able to suspend a custodial sentence upon you.

Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust
Huddersfield doctor heads to USA on prestigious fellowship
A HUDDERSFIELD doctor looks set to live the American dream.
Consultant anaesthetist Dimple Vyas has been selected as one of just four UK health professionals to take part in an international exchange.
The Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust doctor, who has a special interest in chronic pain management, will spend a year in the USA, sharing her health knowledge with the American experts.
As part of the Quality Improvement Fellowship, she will also learn from other doctors in the States.
Dr Vyas is the first health professional in the Yorkshire and Humber region to gain the fellowship.
She will spend a year at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Her focus will be to transform care and drive improvements for patients with long-term conditions, through developing closer working between hospital and community organisations.
On her return to the trust, in June 2013, she will put her learning into practice across our community and at a national level.
Dr Vyas said: "The fellowship is a unique opportunity for me to work alongside leading experts from around the world and look at new ways of working."
The fellowship has been offered by independent healthcare charity, the Health Foundation.
She has lead two successful initiatives funded by the organisation previously called Co-creating Health.
Since the programme was launched in 2007, hundreds of people across Kirklees and Calderdale living with chronic pain and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD have had their lives transformed through developing the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their condition.
Programme manager at the Health Foundation, Dorothy Flatman, said: "In recent years there has been increasing interest in the Co-creating Health programme and its achievements.
"With the changing health landscape, the focus on the benefits of self management support has greatly increased.
"The Fellowship programme will help to create a group of key leaders to drive service improvements and make real changes to the quality of healthcare."


Weddings are a time that couples insist on the best their money can buy. The desire for being "the best" has been a driving force in my approach to becoming a wedding specialist. Before becoming an ordained Minister and certified Life-Cycle Celebrant I spent 14 years planning weddings. And, I can tell you, I have never met an ordinary bride or groom. They do not want to settle for anything less than the best.
Modern wedding ceremonies are trending toward collaboration between the officiant and the couple. Today's couples are expecting their ceremony to exemplify all the extraordinary arrangements that have been made leading to guests witnessing the special occasion.
So then, how do you know when you have it (the best)? I propose it is in the connection you feel when you talk with your officiant.
Will they do precisely what you want them to? I will.
Will they spend time with you and give you an entire written script of what they intend to say during your wedding ceremony? I will.
Will they allow you to approve what they are going to say during your ceremony? I will.
Will they do the extra work of providing Ceremony Keepsakes? I will.
What makes an officiant the best is not just performing a ceremony, but one who will perform YOUR CEREMONY. And, I WILL.

Q: Have a path point to the middle of another path Using Javascript, given the Bezier curve string of an SVG path, is there a simple way to obtain the midpoint of that path?
I want to have a path point to the middle of the first path, but all I have is the string in <path d="...">. I'd rather not have to parse the string and manually calculate the midpoint of the Bezier curve if I don't have to.

A: I haven't tried this, but if you get hold of the <path> node in JS, it will be an SVGPathElement and thus you might be able to use:
var len = path.getTotalLength();
var midPoint = path.getPointAtLength(len/2);

Finding Beowulf: Is Some of the Famous Anglo-Saxon Heroic Epic Based on Truth?
Beowulf is possibly the most famous example of Anglo-Saxon literature. The heroic epic was created between the 8th-11th century and is set in Scandinavia. In the tale, Beowulf helps the king of the Danes, Hroðgar, by defeating a monstrous being called Grendel. Until Beowulf showed up, Grendel had been wreaking havoc on the mead hall and the rest of the kingdom. Just a piece of fiction? Maybe not. The 6th century dining hall at the center of this epic has been found in Denmark.
Beowulf, The Legend
In the Beowulf story, Hroðgar had a 'great and splendid hall' created to share the gifts of God. The legend says craftsmen came from distant lands to build the hall and their skilled hands completed the construction quickly. This hall was called Heorot and it was the site of grand feasts, the gifting of gold rings, and the sounds of songs and poetry around a harp. But all the merrymaking annoyed Grendel, who snuck into the hall while Hroðgar and his warriors were resting…he devoured many of them.

Veronica Parkes describes how the rest of the Beowulf story involving Grendel goes:
"As a result, Heorot is abandoned by those who are left and a call is made for aid. Beowulf answers this call and faces Grendel one on one, without any weapon. Beowulf's men come to his aid in the heat of battle, but their swords cannot pierce the monster's skin. Finally, Beowulf tears Grendel's arm from his body and the monster retreats to the marshes and it dies."
That's not even the end of it. Grendel had a mother and she sought revenge for her son's death. Beowulf tracked her down, found she took Grendel's body with her, and that her skin was also immune to his weapons. But he was able to defeat her with a sword found in her lair. The warrior decapitated Grendel's mother and Grendel, then brought the heads to Hrothgar and was presented with many gifts at Heorot.
The Real Setting of Heorot
Heorot has now been named a real location. It was discovered in the old royal capital of Denmark, Lejre, 23 miles (37 km) west of modern Copenhagen by Tom Christensen and his team. The archaeologists found, excavated, and dated the building to the late 5th or early 6th century. They also managed to name the foods that were probably consumed at the grand feasts held in Lejre's first royal hall.

By analyzing the bones of hundreds of animals discovered at the site, the researchers showed that suckling pig, beef, mutton, goat meat, venison, goose, duck, chicken, and fish were all feasted on. They also found fragments of glass drinking vessels, pottery from England and Rhineland, and 40 pieces of bronze, gold, and silver jewelry.
Reflecting on the discovery , project director Dr. Christensen, curator of Denmark's Roskilde Museum, said, "For the first time, archaeology has given us a glimpse of life in the key royal Danish site associated with the Beowulf legend."

Is There More Truth to the Beowulf Story?
The find raises the question as to how much of the Beowulf story is legend and what may be truth. Historical records also state that the grand hall was abandoned due to Grendel's attacks. If Grendel (literarily 'the destroyer') existed as a malevolent spirit causing disease and death, or was a fierce human enemy, is still unknown.
Another depiction of what Grendel may have looked like. ( Public Domain )
Riley Winters has explored this topic in a previous Ancient Origins article . She came to the conclusion that:
"Grendel is likely a version of a Scandinavian giant . While the Anglo-Saxon author—whoever he was—might have created his own version of a "monster" while placing the tale of Beowulf in Scandinavia, the numerous interactions with Viking forces in modern day England, Ireland, and Denmark make it possible that the author attempted to incorporate Scandinavian mythology in the text as well. Further, there is quite a bit of overlap between pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon gods and Norse ones."
Either way, it is exciting to think that at least some of the Beowulf story is based on real life – as shown by the identification of the story's legendary hall.

Hi RWTHLESS,
Didn't mean to confuse you it's just that the name Cain caught my attention it got me too thinking of Enoch; the intriguing thing I that I found out about Enoch is Enoch 2 Book of Secrets of Enoch; apparently, it was translated in Scandinavia isn't that region where Beowulf originated?
As for when Enoch got cast out from the Bible both the Vatican and the Protestant Reformation removed it the only place that still read The Book of Enoch is Ethiopia their Bible has over 87 Book's in its Scriptures; plus Enoch was so valued that in the mid-1700s a Scottish Missionary of the name Jerome who was hanging out in Ethiopia, saw a copy of The Book of Enoch in the Marketplace and immediately took that copy back to Europe, since He was Scottish, I'm going to assume that Jerome took it too Scotland.
Getting back to Cain, the symbol of Cain in the story of Beowulf for me at least also helped me to understand what I'm reading all about in Enoch and if you're interested Enoch 1 Book of Watchers is online for Free, Enoch 2 Book of Secrets of Enoch also online for Free Pseudigraphia is its heading, and Finally Enoch 3 Book of Giant's is Free Online yes I'm in the midst of studying these 3 Sacred Text.
Anyway sorry about the confusion Goodbye look forward to speaking too you again.
[email protected] wrote on 27 July, 2020 - 09:44
You are beginning to confuse me. Ancestors are before us. Our children and their children are our descendents.
I had forgotten about the daughters of Cain marrying angels. We have to remember when the book of Enoch was left out of the bible. I think the writer of the poem was Christian, but would only have the book of Genesis to draw on. England was almost entirely Christianised when the poem was written down, but perhaps to explain the wickedness of the monster the poet or editor called on the most sinful man who acted without outside influence by killing a person of his own blood to describe the indescribable. It's just a possibility that I have no particular evidence for.
Hello RWTHLESS,
Thank you wait did you say Cain as in Cain who murdered his Brother Abel?
Okay now Beowulf is beginning to make a little more sense too me, according; (this book I'm mentioning was dismissed by the Church in my case I'm beginning to believe this Book), to the Biblical Book of Enoch 1 The Book of the Watchers, who are 200 Fallen Angels, and Enoch 3 The Book of Giant's the 200 Angels married the daughters of Cain and some Angels married a female animal of a different Species, perhaps those half-human/half-animal gods paints a whole new meaning to those Ancient Statues of the World which now for me explains; Beowulf/Grendel/& his Mother Hrothgar.
I think that Hrothgar is also an Ancestor of Cain; Grendel an his mother must be his sister or distant Cousin's, perhaps an ancestor of one the Fallen Angels, God rendered Judgement and so as punishment because of what these 200 Angels did, turned their children in to Demons and Evil-Spirits.
Though to be fair God did try talking to the Children of these Angels who were the more reasonable ones but if one feels as though their invincible and there's nothing God can do too you then I suppose they would thumb their nose up at God's Olive Leaf.
God can't be bought He is no Respecters of Persons.
Which now helps me better understand Beowulf thank you for what you shared with me Goodbye!
According to the poem , and only source studied in Anglo-Saxon, Grendel is not described. If my memory serves me correctly he (or she) is referred to as the inheritor of Cain, who slew his brother Abel.
As an avid consumer of detective literature, this suggests to me that Grendel is human, and perhaps a relative of Hrothgar. The impervious skin suggests armour of some kind. I think the 'mother' is more of a garrison than a person or single monster. In armour and/or armed to the teeth.
The motive is clearly envy, and contempt for Hrothgar who seems unable to learn by his mistakes. Where did Hrothgar get the wealth in the first place to hand out in exchange for loyalty? By conquest? or a mine?
Cutting it all back to basics, after the feasting, Grendel massacres six men, then comes back and kills another six. Why only six when everyone on the hall is dead drunk and why not Hrothgar? Were the six nominally the guard? So the guards were killed on a second occasion. Normally the penalty for sleeping on guard duty. So Beowulf stays awake and disarms and seriously wounds Grendel who goes home to Mother. A garrison of soldiers who send out a patrol to investigate. When they see someone, they lock their shields to make a many legged 'tortoise' and go back to report. Beowulf finds the garrison of (probably only 10 men and six full sets of armour left behind by/or captured from the Romans. Maybe a small group that didn't want to go back to Rome. Perhaps local troops trained by a centurion's family. So Hrothgar's cousin has grown a bit bored by the feasting and sloppiness has found the camp and joined them to train in Roman warfare. He warns his cousin that he is at risk from his sloppiness so steals the weapons of the the first 6 guards, but kills the second lot of guards, taking their treasures and weapons.
Remember that Beowulf later goes on to kill a dragon whose hoard turns out to be cups and arm rings and other manufactured treasure,
Hello Joanna,
This is probably the most exciting article that I've came across and read. I'd sat in my teen years I would of thought Beowulf as this is just another great mythical story.
However, I've been reading and studying the cast out Biblical Book of Enoch; a Bible Book that I dismissed, for me it was a matter that if it wasn't in The Bible, then God didn't want it in The Bible but upon learning that Man made the decision and not God; well now I know better and because of the Book of Enoch, I thought they were all Myth's now I believe that those stories are true an that Beowulf did happen.
It is a bonus that archeological evidence supports the Beowulf account only thing is I wouldn't recommend searching for The Cave of Grendal an his mother (my attempt at humor).

When you buy something at Leon's (in my case, in calgary), the delivery date indicated in the invoice is a BIG BIG BIG BIG lie. They are not really really committed with the delivery date. I bought a furniture to be delivered within 6 weeks. Came 6 weeks they called me up, telling I should wait for another 2 weeks. I waited for that 2 weeks but no delivery was made. Thereafter, I had been calling them each week for 3 months. They could not even give even the approximate date of delivery - blaming it all to their supplier. They could not tell me when, even the approximate date of delivery, say, ok Mr. your purchase will be delivered after 3 months and please wait for it. But no, according to them, they didn'nt know when the item will be delivered, that was of course, after the fact that I had already paid for my purchase. Too much for 5 months to wait for the delivery, finally, I cancelled my order. Another thing, the customer service personnel who attended my order cancellation was very rude. With all my tolerance for the delay, she was not even apologetic, she had more guts trying to defend and defend leon's side. Anyway, my experience with Leon's gave me a lesson that never ever I, my family, friends and friends of my friends, will never buy again at LEON's CALGARY.

When it Comes to Internet Porn, the Bible Belt Craves it Most
in Religion, Sex stuff
James Schlarmann March 21, 2019, 8:49 pm 2 Comments
I hope you're sitting down when you read this. I know it's very possible it could make you pass out from shock. So, please, take whatever precautions you deem necessary. Because I can't be held responsible for what happens after you do read it. Okay?
Religious conservatives can be sex-starved porn addicts.
I know, I know. It's hard to believe that people in the so-called "Bible Belt" — the part of the United States where Christianity is most widely practiced and embraced — would be the kind to search for porn on the Internet, but that's exactly what the data shows.
Get the official Area 51 Fun Run shirt, on sale right now in our store!
FREE SHIPPING on all orders $30 or more site-wide!
A 2014 report called Archives of Sexual Behavior, published by Canadian Universities, makes it plain that when analyzing Google traffic patterns, folks who consider themselves Christlike go looking for free sexually-related content more often than those in other regions.
Across two separate years, and controlling for demographic variables, we observed moderate-to-large positive associations between: (1) greater proportions of state-level religiosity and general web searching for sexual content and (2) greater proportions of state-level conservatism and image-specific searching for sex.
While we should be careful to assume and generalize about Christians in the Bible Belt based on this study, The Daily Beast once reported similar findings based on data from an online porn distributor. That time though, the data was focused on homemade adult content
Homegrown Video announced the results of a six-month study on amateur porn demographics. Just under a third of all homemade sex tape submissions were created in the "Bible Belt". (Patheos)

The Daily Beast story also contained a tidbit I thought was kind of interesting. It seemed to imply that maybe what we should be taking away from these reports is that there are more sexually free and independently thinking people in the Bible Belt than we had presumed. Perhaps the issue is that we assume the Bible Belt has more prudes in it than it does, and maybe even the number of born-again evangelical porn shamers isn't nearly as high as we'd thought?
But perhaps even more interesting is the type of user-generated content coming from areas of the country some consider repressed. 'We get so many interracial tapes from states that people would stereotype as being racially bigoted areas,' says Timlake. 'And that plays into the same thing: the more repressed it is, the more taboo it is, the more somebody is going to want to see it or touch that fire.'
Pornhub — a site I've definitely never, ever, ever heard of or visited, publishes data every year on the kinds of porn that's searched for in different regions of the country. Their results often find that in the Bible Belt, a lot of people go looking for gay porn.
… the majority of states with a high percentage of gay viewers is in the South. According to the numbers, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia lead the South in gay porn consumption, and the state with the highest percentage of gay porn viewers in the nation is Mississippi at 5.6%. (PornHub)
It's interesting that a lot of interracial porn comes from states in the Bible Belt. It also is very eyebrow raising how much gay porn gets searched for in the same regions. One would presume that the overwhelming majority of rhetoric that's anti-LGTBQ comes out of those states, so either we have a lot of hypocrites in Bible Land, or there truly are a lot fewer people in the religious right and the reality might just be they're louder and unrelenting in their complaints.

This probably means we should all stop and pause before we make a comment about how racist they are. Then again…
I could just as easily be assuming the wrong way myself. It's entirely possible that this data shows pretty conclusively that a lot of people are "Hide the beer, the preacher's here" kind of religious conservatives. They talk the talk, but when the lights are out and they think no one's looking, they want to fap just as much as anyone else. Given humankind's propensity to be at least a little hypocritical — try being a parent and never dipping a toe in the "do as I say, not as I did at your age" pool — that's really the most likely paradigm to take away from the data.
It's not a stretch at all to imagine that religious conservatives might be more obsessed and preoccupied with sex in general. If something is made taboo, it tends to attract more of our interest, not less of it. In the religious corners of this country, I can't think of something with more taboos associated with it than sex.
But I'll leave you all to draw any conclusions you want.

Midland Funding | Morrow & Artim, P.C.
Who is Midland Funding and Why are They Suing Me?
They go by a few different names… Midland Funding…Midland Funding LLC…. Midland Credit Management… but they are all subsidiaries of one company. Midland Funding is a large junk debt buyer. They are one of the biggest that we deal with for sure. A junk debt buyer, as mentioned multiple times elsewhere on this site, is a company that buys delinquent credit card accounts and delinquent loans and then tries to collect on those accounts. They are not working for the original credit card company, whether its Capital One, Synchrony, Chase, or whomever. They bought the accounts and now they are the owner. They are collecting for themselves, not for the original creditor. These purchases are always at a small fraction of the amount of the debt, usually to the tune of 2-3 cents per dollar. They never buy 1 account at a time or 100 at a time. They always buy thousands at a time. The great thing about these purchases is that they always make them on an AS IS basis. AS IS is a legal term, have you ever heard of that before? Maybe you heard that term associated with a used car? AS IS means that you take the asset with all known and unknown defects. There is no representation of quality or accuracy or authenticity. Think about that, we have a debt buyer who buys thousands of accounts at a time, for 2 cents per dollar, on an AS IS basis. You should definitely call them and make payment arrangements right away, right? WRONG WRONG WRONG. (Please don't do that).
Usually, its Midland Credit Management (MCM) who will call you about an old debt, or, send letters to you about that debt. MCM appears to be the name of the internal collection agency for Midland Funding. Think about that, a collection company so large that it needs its own special inside collection agency to collect its debts. I will strongly suggest right now that if you receive a collection letter from Midland or MCM, SAVE IT and let a consumer attorney review it. These letters often have illegal or deceptive language in them. If your letter does have deceiving or illegal language then you may end up with a claim of your own to file against them. Why would a large company put out letters that have illegal language in them? Because it works…. of course. Illegal threats, failure to give the right notices, illegal computation of interest, this occurs every day by all of the debt buyers that we face. They take these risks because they know that most people don't know that they are being lied to, or that the letter is misrepresenting something. Most people will do nothing and Midland knows this.
If the phone calls or letters don't work, then the account goes back to Midland Funding who then hires a collection attorney to file a lawsuit (Sometimes they do use their in house attorney but often times the claims are shipped out to collection law firms such as Pressler, Hayt, Hayt and Landau or others). The collection lawsuit is most often filed at your local District Justice. They do this for a very specific reason. At the District Justice level, the Plaintiff (in this case, Midland) does not have to show up unless the Defendant tells the court that he/she intends to defend the case. Again, Midland knows that most people are going to ignore the lawsuit so they file these claims at the District Justice level as a cost saving measure. If the claim is larger than $12,000, then it will be filed in the Court of Common Pleas of whatever county you reside in. As mentioned elsewhere on this site, several times, the lawsuit WILL be defective. It WILL lack the requisite evidence and/or documentation. This is a certainty and this is the basis for my continuing stance that you should DEFEND, DEFEND, DEFEND these cases (obviously by hiring my firm or another reputable consumer attorney).
You hire a consumer attorney. That is the only real choice. Please don't make the mistake of trying to handle this yourself. If you show up, the Midland Attorney will be able to cross examine you and use your testimony to beat you. That's right, you will help Midland prove their case! If the lawsuit is filed at your local District Justice, then your attorney should not allow you to go. He/She should attend in your place. Midland cannot question an attorney about the case because we cannot testify as to the facts of what transpired. This leaves them on their own to prove the case. They need documents, and lots of them. Contracts, Terms and Conditions, Monthly Statements, Assignments, Forward Flow Agreements…. It's unlikely that they are going to have all of the documents that they need, and they want you to be there, check that, they need you to be there to fill in the blanks. If the lawsuit is filed at the Court of Common Pleas, again, these documents are necessary. If they cannot produce them then the claim should not move forward (provided that you file the proper response to the lawsuit which again needs to be prepared by a consumer attorney).
So What If I Lose?
Good question. All this talk about DEFENDING gives a certain level of confidence to you as you read it, I'm sure. Well, nobody wins every case. If you lose, you have two choices. (1) Appeal; or (2) Settle. An appeal is usually the right choice. If the case was strong enough to defend at the lower level, then its very likely strong enough to defend at the higher level. You really need to take a look at why you lost the case. Did you lose because the judge made a mistake? If so, appeal. Did you lose because you were supposed to lose? (Who is supposed to lose???). What I mean is, did they produce every document that they needed to, and did they have a good witness? If so, maybe you settle at this point. Remember, these debts are always negotiable, but they shouldn't be negotiated unless its necessary.
At Morrow & Artim we offer a free telephone consultation on all Midland matters… whether they have sued you or not. Please call us today at 412-823-8003 to set up a consultation.

The Indian Lake Women's Club of Denville is sponsoring their 6th annual House Tour of unique homes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, September 16.
The event is an opportunity to visit seven of these distinctive homes in the private lake community. First held in 2010, the event is now organized every other year.
One includes an original lakefront log home built in 1916 which still maintains its character. Another is an island property, where a 1923 summer bungalow once stood. Today, this newly-expanded house features a paver patio and bluestone fire pit area with panoramic views of Indian Lake.
Story continues below gallery.
Indian Lake House Tour homes in Morris County
The home at 28 N. Shore Road was created as a weekend home for residents of Hoboken around 1930. Purchased in 1997 by Leslie Pessemier and Stephen Brown as a home for their family, the house was in a dilapidated condition, both inside and out. The family went to work and while keeping the layout of the house as it was, they added a number of upgrades inside and out. Photo courtesy of the Indian Lake Women's Club of Denville

Vince Napolitano's home at 53 E. Shore Road was built in 1926 and is one of the first log cabins on the lake. The home is considered part of Lenape Island as it sits at the entrance to the island. Exposed log beams harken back to the home's origin and two additions were made to include a living room and an upstairs. Napolitano added a fire pit, new dock and irrigation system and cut down all the trees blocking the view of the lake. Photo courtesy of the Indian Lake Women's Club of Denville
The home of Leah and Steve Horky is located on Lenape Island at 15 Lenape Trail. The Horkys purchased the two-bedroom ranch property in an estate sale after the owner, a beloved member of the community and a 40-year resident, passed away. The Horkys renovations included a second story with three bedrooms and two baths. Photo courtesy of the Indian Lake Women's Club of Denville
The log cabin home of Ed Warren and Terri-lee Paradise at 57 E. Shore Road was built in approximately 1916. An original lakefront log house inside and out, it includes the original stone fireplace and the screen porch was enclosed to make it into a living room. The original garage in the front of the house was turned into another bedroom. Photo courtesy of the Indian Lake Women's Club of Denville
The home of Michele Rome at 116 E. Shore Road in Indian Lake in Denville. The Rome cottage was built in 1922 as a summer cottage for seasonal living. Most of the house has been kept original including the field stone fireplace, foundation and structure. Originally a screened in front porch greeted visitors until it was enclosed to provide more living space. Photo courtesy of the Indian Lake Women's Club of Denville
The home of Laura and John Van Dine at 137 E. Shore Lake Road in Indian Lake. Right on the lake, the hockey loving Van Dines were happy to learn hockey is a big part of Indian Lake living in the winter. After a lot of work clearing trees in the backyard and adding new paint and updating the house, the Van Dines are happy to be living in the Van Dine Lake House.

"We all love to admire a beautiful home from the outside, but it's so much more fun to see what's behind the front door or in the backyard. We invite our visitors to see how seven Indian Lake residents have transformed their original houses into surprising showplaces," said Chairperson Linda Lash. "We expect 50-60 guests from Denville and surrounding towns taking the tour this year."
The self-guided tour is rain or shine. A history of the lake, biographies of each home and a detailed map of the area will be provided.
Tickets are $20 per person for adults and children over 12. Tickets will also be sold on the day of the tour at the Indian Lake clubhouse, 91 E. Shore Rd., Denville. Free parking will be available.
Call 201-874-1494 or email callaman@verizon.net for more information.

Crisis between Cyprus and UK after minister Duncan disputes EEZ
May 15, 2019 World Comments Off on Crisis between Cyprus and UK after minister Duncan disputes EEZ 5,545 Views
A crisis erupted between Cyprus and UK after Europe Minister Alan Duncan disputes Cyprus sovereign right on its own Exclusive Economic Zone.
"The Exclusive Economic Zone of Cyprus is a disputed area," Duncan said in his speech in the House of Commons.
Duncan said "I met with the Turkish ambassador yesterday [Monday], and had a very constructive talk with him. The position of the United Kingdom is that, according to the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas, exploratory drilling cannot be conducted in any area in which the sovereignty is disputed."
His statement triggered an outrage in the Republic of Cyprus as he was clearly supporting Ankara's position.
The Cypriot government described Duncan's statements as unacceptable.
British High Commissioner Stephen Lillie has been called to the foreign ministry to clarify statements by the UK government on its stance vis-à-vis Cyprus' exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Speaking after the cabinet meeting on Wednesday, government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said Nicosia would make its demarches to London through the High Commissioner "on the unfortunate statements" by Minister for Europe Sir Alan Duncan.
According to daily Cyprus Mail, Duncan's comment comes amid reports that the Turkish drilling ship located 60km west of Paphos seemed to be preparing to start drilling in the island's waters.
"Mr Duncan has been and continues to remain unacceptable," President Nikos Anastasiades said on Tuesday night.
The British Foreign Office had earlier sought to clarify its position but triggered more confusion instead.
In reply to a request on behalf of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK by Mike Freer MP for clarification on Sir Alan's statement, the Foreign Office initially repeated the same statement as the British minister saying: "The position of the UK is that, in line with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, exploratory drilling should not proceed in any area where sovereignty is under dispute."
Then, however, the Foreign Office went on to repeat a contradictory statement on the UK's long-standing position saying: "We recognise the sovereign right of the Republic of Cyprus to exploit the oil and gas in its internationally agreed Exclusive Economic Zone. We believe Cyprus' oil and gas should be developed for the benefit of all Cypriots, as the Foreign Office has said before."
While Cyprus is preparing to contact directly Prime Minister Theresa May on the issue, Turkey has published maps in which it claims its continental shelf extends far beyond any limits and into the continental shelf of Greece and Cyprus.
In a briefing to foreign ambassadors on Tuesday, Ankara presented these maps claiming that the Turkey continental shelf not only extends far beyond its limits, it also connects to the continental shelf of Egypt with which Cyprus has signed an energy agreement.
With red Ankara marked the alleged Turkish continental shelf where it has also deployed drilling ship Fatih. With the color pink it marked an alleged continental shelf of the Turkish occupied North Cyprus, a pseudo-state recognized only by Turkey. With yellow it marked the plot of the Republic of Cyprus which Turkey does not recognize and claim that they coincide with its own plots for exploitation.
The Turkish diplomats told the foreign ambassadors that Ankara is to conduct drilling in its own area.

We hate wrinkles. The goal is almost always to get rid of them. When it comes to your body alignment, it's no different.
As mentioned in the video, posture is about alignment. The goal isn't to crank the shoulders back and fix things in the moment, it's to continually remind the body where good alignment is and encourage slow change over time. The more often you can do that the better you will feel and the more long term change you'll be able to achieve.
You still have to stretch the tight stuff and strengthen the weak muscles* but it all starts with awareness. When it comes to increasing your awareness, wrinkles are the little thing that can really help in a big way.
