In the 12-minute video, the North Carolina-based Price shows what it's like to shoot Spa 24 Hours (as the race is known) in Belgium during the course of one 24-hour span.
"Behind every swipe and like, there is a photograph. Behind every photograph, there is a story to be told," Price says at beginning of the video and he's not kidding. It's fascinating to follow him as he covers the entire span of the sprawling Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps racetrack, shooting images, chasing the light, and barely eating or sleeping.
The most telling moment, at least to my eye, was when Price visits the press room at nearly 1am and sits down to edit thousands and thousands of shots from the race. For anyone who hates the image culling and editing process, the scene is not for the faint of heart. But it definitely pays dividends.
As the title of the documentary indicates, this is just Chapter 1 of the story. We can't wait to see Chapter 2. You can view more of Price's images from the race here.

Almighty Allah has made it easy for a woman in Ramadan during her menses for she is still able to get the same rewards as men.
The good deed accounts don't stop when a women is menstruating for the angels are continuing writing down good deeds as long as a women is doing good actions in order to please Allah.
So we should set ourselves daily targets of doing as much Dhikr as we can. We can remember & glorify Allah whatever we are doing throughout the day. At work, whilst cooking, shopping & even whilst relaxing. We should remember Allah in our heart's & not just by our tongues. We should also contemplate over his magnificence & his creations & imagine him in front of us as we glorify & remember him.
a. Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee – Recite this abundantly during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Or the shortest durood is: Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim.
The place of Dua is so high in front of Allah, that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim) has said: "Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Most High than Dua." [Sahih al-Jami` no.5268].
Subhanallah this deed can be done in EVERY dua and can you imagine how many rewards can be gained for each and every Muslim you make dua for from Adam alayhis 'salam until now and the last Muslim on earth. This is the easiest way to earn rewards that go into the billions and the more you make these dua's then the more your good deed account wil get filled!
O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.' " (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi).
So she can give dawah by text, e mail, direct or indirect.

It must be nice to be Jeff Bezos.
How do you become one of the richest men in the world by founding a company that only recently gave a thought to profitability?
Amazon has been around a long time. It's one of the few Internet companies that was doing business 20 years ago, when I launched WorldNetDaily.com, now known as WND.com.
But it was less than three years ago that Amazon began to achieve any profits to speak of. And, even today, you'd be shocked to know how high its revenues are and how relatively low its profits are.
For instance, in 2015, Amazon's fourth quarter revenues were an astronomical $35.7 billion. But its net income was, by comparison, a measly $482 million. Last year, Amazon's fourth quarter revenue was up 22 percent to $43.7 billion. It's net income was $749 million.
Of course, net income is after Jeff Bezos gets his astronomical salary, which has helped him to be a mega-billionaire.
I tell you all this so you don't think what I'm about to tell you represents chump change for Amazon and Bezos.
The first profitable year for Amazon was 2013. Fourth quarter profits were $239 million and $274 million for the year. The year before, Amazon posted a loss for 2012 of $39 million.
Later that year, Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million.
To put that another way, Bezos used less than half the money he got from the CIA to buy the Washington Post.
Do you think that was a sweetheart deal?
I do. And like others, I believe it's something Americans should know about. For instance, the Washington Post often quotes unnamed CIA sources in its reporting. Yet, the Post doesn't disclose that the CIA paid the owner of the paper more than twice what it cost to buy it. You won't find any mention of this deal on the Washington Post's Wikipedia page, either. Not worth mentioning, apparently.
Now I want you to imagine the CIA contracting with WND.com for, say, a measly $600,000. How do you suppose that would be covered by the Washington Post? How would it be chronicled in Wikipedia? Do you think I'd get a pass? I think not.
Who was CIA director when this deal with the Washington Post was finalized?
It was Brennan, a good friend of Obama's, who said he believed the contacts were numerous enough to alert the FBI, which began its probe into Trump associates that same July, according to previous congressional testimony from then-FBI Director James B. Comey. Brennan has been a loyal progressive Democrat since he voted for the Communist Party presidential candidate in 1976.
Wouldn't you like to see an investigation into the collusion between John Brennan, Jeff Bezos, Amazon, the Washington Post and the CIA?
After all, they were all involved in an actual monetary deal that could have profound implications for the future of America, American business and American journalism.


Jeremy Corbyn has outlined an alternative plan for Brexit which comprises a permanent customs union, a 'strong' relationship with the single market and 'stronger' level playing field obligations. The plan now forms the core of one of the amendments that MPs may have the opportunity to vote on next week.
Opposition party proposals don't always get scrutinised in the same way as Government policy. But the official opposition always represents a government-in-waiting, so it is appropriate to assess the content and workability of their plans.
Corbyn's major pitch is that a Labour government could secure a better Brexit deal from the EU than the incumbent Conservative administration has so far managed. But for all the rhetoric of presenting a viable alternative, Labour's plan remains vague in key respects. From what has been articulated, Labour's Brexit plan appears little different in substance from the Government proposals which were resoundingly defeated last week.
Labour has said it wants a permanent customs union with the EU to prevent the return of a hard border in the island of Ireland and to protect British manufacturing.
The Government has already agreed a fall-back single customs territory through the Irish backstop that would kick in if a future deal between the UK and EU were not agreed. In the words of the Attorney General "unless and until" a deal on the future relationship is concluded, the backstop will remain in place "indefinitely".
Although the backstop has been presented as an insurance policy to maintain an open Irish border, in practice it is a way of guaranteeing the UK permanent tariff-free and rules of origin free trade if it decides it wants it, or if negotiators fail to find another way to avoid a hard border.
So the Prime Minister's customs territory already delivers the practical effects of the customs union for both business and the Irish border.
Labour has said it wants a "strong relationship with the Single Market" but it is yet to spell out what that means, or what would be required to make it work.
For example, we don't know whether Labour's proposal involves services or merely goods. Nor do we know whether Labour has moved on from its manifesto statement that "free movement will end when the UK leaves the EU". If it does then Labour have the same problem as the Government: trying to retain access to the single market without adhering to the four freedoms.
An amendment to Theresa May's 'Plan B' motion tabled by the Labour frontbench suggests that Labour envisages this 'strong relationship' being "underpinned by shared institutions." However, the EU has given no indication it would agree to such an arrangement. In the past it has refused to countenance similar arrangements for the EEA and Switzerland.
Based on precedents, there is no reason to believe that a Labour government would find the EU more ready to compromise on UK access to the Single Market than it has so far been with Theresa May.
On the one hand, Labour dislikes the EU's level playing field provisions on state aid and competition rules - which the Government has signed up to as part of its deal on customs. The EU have been very clear they won't countenance a deal without state aid provisions. If Labour want to avoid no deal they will have to drop this policy.
On the other, Labour has said it wants to stay within the EU's social and environmental rules, and is keen to tie the hands of any future Conservative government that might attempt to water these down. The EU would be very happy to see such commitments included in a future deal. If the Government wants to negotiate more access than the backstop provides then it will have to concede this anyway in the future relationship. The question is when not if.
In terms of its declared objectives, Labour has little reason of substance to oppose the Withdrawal Agreement. It has always said that it supports certainty for citizens and meeting legal obligations on money, and Labour called for a transition period ahead of the Government accepting the need for one. Its proposals on a permanent customs union would achieve few practical benefits over Theresa May's plan and its single market proposal is unclear.
The backstop arrangement and the Political Declaration negotiated by the Government set up a perfectly workable baseline for any future Labour government wanting to negotiate the type of future relationship it has said it wants. At this stage, there are few signs that a deal negotiated by Labour would be substantively different to that proposed by the Government.


This book wasn't what I thought it would be and I kept trying to push myself to read it. I got to page 152 and really didn't care what happened next, so I decided enough is enough. I am going to put this book away and switch to something worth reading. I gave it 1 star.
That bad huh???? Geesh, that's disappointing because I had read some good reviews of it. Well, now I have to cross this one off my TBR list!! Thanks for the honesty Cheryl...hope your next book is better!!
YOu can borrow it if you really want. Some people liked it so you just never know I guess. It's not due back until February.
I gave up on a book today. I don't do it often but lately I'm of the mind that there are just too many good books out there (or on my shelves) to waste time on one that isn't grabbing me, you know?
O I hate when that happens.

Russia's Military Manpower Crunch Will Worsen
Authoritarian Threats Europe's Edge National Security and Intelligence Regional Security
Pavel Luzin
The Russian Armed Forces are shrinking in size, creating a growing crisis for its war effort in Ukraine. The "partial" mobilization may well fail to solve this situation.

After seven months of full-scale aggression against Ukraine, Russia has suffered tens of thousands of dead and wounded from an invasion force that initially numbered up to 190,000 troops.
The invading forces have the Russian Armed Forces (RAF) at their heart, supplemented by the Russian National Guard, Rosgvardia, including Chechen units personally loyal to Ramzan Kadyrov, the republic's dictator, and supplemented by paramilitary units of the FSB security service along with various units of mercenaries and forcibly mobilized men from the occupied areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
Ukraine's counteroffensive has now demonstrated that Russia does not have significant and combat-capable reserves of manpower, even though the nominal strength of its armed forces is 1 million soldiers and officers.
With the start of the fall conscription in Russia now imminent (October 1), these facts raise serious questions about the country's ability to restore its military manpower. Vladimir Putin's announcement of a so-called partial mobilization on September 21 — which officials claimed would raise 300,000 extra personnel — also creates as many questions as it answers.
While the official strength of the Russian Armed Forces is 1 million (1.013 million), the true number has been far lower for many years. In 2016, the figure was 770,000 service personnel in all branches, and at the beginning of 2022, it could be estimated as 740,000-780,000. Among these troops, there were 168 battalion tactical groups (BTGs), the combat capable forces of the ground forces, airborne troops, and marines designed for conventional warfare. Considering that each BTG typically consisted of 800-1,000 soldiers and officers, the country's total combat capable force did not exceed 168,000. These units could also be supplemented by reserve personnel estimated at no more than 100,000.
Rosgvardia units, the second largest military formation, could theoretically join the aggression against Ukraine, did not exceed 60,000-70,000 at the beginning of 2022 and in fact were much smaller. (This estimate derives from the numbers of lieutenants — about 1,000 —that graduate annually from Rosgvardia's four military universities.)
It's therefore clear that Russia's losses of 80,000 personnel, both killed and wounded, together with the inevitable outflow of those reaching the end of their service with the Russian Armed Forces and Rosgvardia, mean that the shortage of manpower, especially in the former, constitute one of the country's most urgent problems.
Conscription is traditionally Russia's main source of military manpower. Moreover, if a recruit has a university degree or at least vocational education he is allowed to become a contracted soldier at the beginning of his service and is actively asked by the recruiters to do so. Other conscripted soldiers may sign a contract for military service as early as three months into their service and are also pressed by their commanders to do this. That is why the conscripted soldiers and the contracted soldiers in Russia are overlapping sets in terms of their numbers. In this way, any decline in conscription inevitably leads to a major decline in actual armed forces numbers.
The 2022 spring conscription, which ran from April 1 to July 15, was supposed to recruit 134,500 soldiers. However, on July 11, Sergei Shoygu, the defense minister, said that by this date only 89,000 had been sent to the military units. His statement revealed that the spring conscription was a de facto failure.
If there is a repeat failure during the upcoming conscription period —from October 1 to December 31 — then the armed forces' total strength will fall by 80,000-90,000 soldiers, in addition to the massive losses suffered in Ukraine and the ongoing outflow. Even if the defense ministry manages to realize the targeted numbers (for instance, by making it harder to get exemptions from conscription), the Russian Armed Forces will nonetheless drop to below 650,000 soldiers and officers. It is therefore the case that Russian manpower cannot be restored in a foreseeable future.
By the way, this trend completely contradicts the Kremlin's announcement that it is increasing the military's headline manpower from 1.013 million to almost 1.151 million on January 1, 2023, and this contradiction will mean further imbalances within the Russian military power.
What can the government do? Many experts presume that a general mobilization can be announced to restore manpower. But Russian law requires states whether the mobilization is partial or full-scale, it should mean both recruiting military personnel and also mobilizing institutions at different levels of government from federal to local authorities, and mobilization of the economy. This would require a delegation of power to the military leadership in a country where the Kremlin has not trusted its generals since the Stalin era, and would also involve the transition to a command economy. Consequently, once started, mobilization will create political and economic chaos. Put simply, partial mobilization cannot work as planned.
Moreover, there are only two possible types of mobilization: the republican type of mobilization which is seen in Ukraine, and which occurred during the French Revolution or the American Civil War, or violent authoritarian mobilization, as conducted by Bolsheviks and by the Chinese, Vietnamese and Cambodian communists in the agrarian societies of the 20th century.
Republican mobilization is impossible when the Kremlin mistrusts both its generals and the Russian people, yet violent mobilization relies on compulsion that is hard to organize in a highly urbanized and complex society like Russia, without the threat of massive popular resistance and counter-violence.
That may explain why the Kremlin continues to shy away from full mobilization, and will probably aim instead to rely more and more on irregular and asymmetric warfare in Ukraine, copying some elements of the Hamas conflict playbook (bombarding Ukraine from long distance, without committing troops to bloody offensives), resulting in the further fragmentation of Russian military power.
This might allow the Russian leadership to avoid the domestic political challenges related to the armed forces. This option will become much more probable if the Ukrainian armed forces are unable to defeat Russia as soon as possible.

OpenLearning raises $8.5 million from Malaysian investors
Jun 11, 2018 – 10.00am
Education technology start-up OpenLearning has raised $8.5 million from Malaysian investors as it aims to keep building its platform for hosting massive open online courses (MOOCS) by winning more university clients.
Led by two publicly listed Malaysian companies, Prestariang Berhad, the south-east Asian country's leading technology and talent platform innovator, and Paramount Corporation Berhad, an education and property company, the raise values the Aussie business at $33.5 million.
Co-founder and chief executive Adam Brimo told The Australian Financial Review Malaysia had become an increasingly important market for the company.
OpenLearning chief executive Adam Brimo says the business will focus on growing in Australia and Malaysia. Supplied
"This speaks to the importance and value south-east Asian and Australian investors place on education," he said.
"All our early investors are from Australia, but Malaysia is a very important market for us and we wanted to look for strategic, value-adding investors."
The round brings the company's total funding to $13.7 million since it launched five years ago.
The business provides higher education institutions with a platform for running MOOCS, consulting services to develop online courses and a global marketplace to attract new students, which also includes marketing services.
The business now counts seven out of 43 universities in Australia as customers and 30 out of 500 universities and colleges in Malaysia.
Short course demand
Mr Brimo said the business was seeing increasing demand from universities to establish more short courses, which cater to skills of the future workforce and which early and mid-stage professionals are increasingly seeking.
"A lot of the skills these professionals are looking for are quite new and courses don't meet these needs yet, so universities are developing short courses that are four to 12 weeks long. Taking a few months to learn a new skill is also a more exciting opportunity for a working professional than going to university for three or more years to do another degree,' he said.
"For a long time universities were content with just offering degrees, but I don't think that's sustainable and a lot of growth will come from people wanting to do these short courses."
OpenLearning's Australian investors include tech entrepreneur Clive Mayhew, who is also the company's chairman, ICS Global and Telstra's muru-D.
The latest funding round will allow OpenLearning to build up its presence in Australia and Malaysia, before potentially expanding to other south-east Asian markets.
'Good indicator of growth'
"Over the last four years we've had on average 100 per cent year-on-year growth in student numbers," Mr Brimo said. "That rate increased in the past quarter, when we added well over 250,000 to 300,000 students.
"Enrolments alone aren't our main driver, but they're a good indicator of growth and interest in the courses."
OpenLearning's platform and consulting services are its largest drivers of revenue, with its marketplace making up about only 10 per cent, but Mr Brimo believes the percentage of revenue from this segment will grow as universities turn to it to help market the courses.
The business now employs 70 staff, split between Sydney and Malaysia, and in the next 12 months it intends to grow its headcount by at least 30 per cent.
Paramount chief executive Jeffrey Chew Sun Teong said there had been a strong push from the Malaysian government to modernise its education system using technology and it was committed to playing a part in that.
"As we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0, companies – big or small – will have to innovate and stay relevant in order to stay competitive in the global world," he said. "As such it is critical for us to embrace change.
"We have been looking for opportunities to gain entry into technology-based businesses and this investment with OpenLearning is a step in the right direction."

Holt to Build Largest Rooftop Solar Power Plant in North America at Gloucester Marine Terminal

1.1 million square-foot project on the roof of the Terminal's refrigerated warehouse .
GLOUCESTER CITY, N.J.,
Gloucester Marine Terminal today announced that it is partnering with solar technology leader SunPower Corp. to build the largest rooftop solar installation in North America – a massive, 1.1 million square-foot project on the roof of the Terminal's refrigerated warehouse near the Walt Whitman Bridge on the Delaware River.
Known as Riverside Renewable Energy, LLC, the $42 million, privately funded project calls for the installation of 27,528 photovoltaic rooftop solar panels that will generate nine megawatts of electricity (9 MW) – or roughly enough to power 1,500 homes – at Gloucester Marine Terminal, which is owned by the Holt family. The Riverside project will be nearly twice as large as any previous rooftop solar installation in New Jersey, which has emerged as a national leader in the development of renewable energy resources. Construction is underway and should be completed by the fall.
When completed, the Riverside project will generate the equivalent of nearly 80 percent of the Terminal's power demand. According to estimates provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the system is expected to offset more than 9,500 tons of carbon dioxide, approximately the same amount that would be offset by planting 400,000 trees or removing 1,700 cars from the road.
"This $42 million, privately funded project is a testament to the strength of New Jersey's solar market," said Lee A. Solomon, President of the N.J. Board of Public Utilities. "It is also consistent with the policy set forth in the recently released 2011 draft Energy Master Plan, which calls for photovoltaic solar arrays on commercial and industrial properties to lower their utility bills, improving competitiveness and reducing demands upon the electric grid."
The Riverside project will rely in part on the availability of federal Investment Tax Credits that supply tax incentives to spur the development of green energy sources systems nationwide; and the continued support of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) created through the New Jersey Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), which also enhances the economic viability of the project. Riverside will sell the SRECs and environmental benefits associated with the system.
In addition to the Holt family, the Riverside project is a partnership involving SunPower, a global solar technology company that designs, manufactures and delivers the highest efficiency, highest reliability solar panels and systems available today; Rabobank, a leading global bank and financier of renewable energy projects, which will lead the financing for the venture; and PSE&G, which will play a critical role in the interconnection of the project.
"Riverside Renewable Energy is good for the environment because it generates clean, non-polluting energy from the sun," said Tom Holt Sr., Chairman Emeritus of Holt Logistics Corp. "But it's also good for our business, because we will have the benefit of reliable, affordable electricity to operate the Terminal. It's a win for us and a win for our region, and we're very proud to be a part of this venture."
"Rabobank is pleased to dedicate our resources and expertise to support this important project," said Ron Klein, Managing Director in Rabobank's Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Finance-Americas group. "This is a prime example of putting a previously unused asset, a rooftop, to work by hosting a renewable energy installation and bringing value to its owners."
At the site, Sun Power is installing its T5 Solar Roof Tile system, the solar industry's first non-penetrating rooftop product that combines a high-efficiency solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single, pre-engineered unit.
"At nine megawatts, this is a milestone solar installation made possible with SunPower's high-efficiency panels and T5 Solar Roof Tile System," said Tom Leyden, managing director at SunPower. "By hosting this system, Holt Logistics will reliably maximize its savings on electricity costs at the Terminal over the next 25 years or more."
Locally, the Riverside Renewable Energy project development and finance team was led by Bill Streich, Riverside CFO; J. Ferd Convery, from the Reed Smith law firm in Princeton, N.J.; and Keith Peltzman, President of Independence Solar, LLC in Cherry Hill, N.J. for financial and technical advisory services.

From very modest beginnings and throughout a long history that includes trucking, rail and ocean transportation with a focus on safe and productive development and operation of marine terminals and distribution centers, the company and its clients have shown an unwavering commitment to the families and communities of the Delaware River.

Now a community can chant the Office in unison from their smartphones!
I was excited recently to hear that the website Universalis.com now has an option to have the psalms of the Divine Office pointed for chanting. This allows people to chant them in community or congregation in unison. The psalm tones which can be applied to these are those that are given on this site, thewayofbeauty.org on the Psalm Tones page; they are adapted from the traditional Gregorian tones.
The points (the marks over certain syllables) coincide with the naturally emphasized syllables of speech, and so are intuitive and natural to use.
The psalm tones on my website make use of the final two points in each line and are simple to use. Scores for the tones can be downloaded, and there is an instructional video along with materials explaining how to use them. All the materials on this site are free, but for those who would like greater help, I have created an online course teaching you how to sing them from the traditional chant notation at www.Pontifex.University, which costs $95 for several hours of tuition.
The pointed psalms are available on the app, which can be downloaded from iTunes or Google Play.
Tap on the screen to get the toolbar to appear.
Tap on the cogwheel to open the Settings screen.
The tones I have created conform to the pattern of language, rather than imposing their own rhythm on the words. This means that once you understand how the system works, which is pretty simple, they flow naturally, and it frees you to contemplate the text more deeply.
Also, with this system, any psalm tone can be sung to any psalm, so once you know even just one, you can sing the whole psalter.
These tones are arranged so that any tone can be applied to any text, and they always follow the natural rhythm of the words of the text. The system is so simple that you don't need a deep musical training - if you can sing it, you can teach others to sing it. This means that in just a few minutes, you could have a completely fresh group able to learn a tone and sing a whole Office together.
Furthermore, because the system of matching tone to text is so natural, it makes it easy to compose new tones. I was motivated to create these because I was struggling to find any that I was happy with, and realized that there was no reason that I couldn't do it at least as badly as anyone else. So, if you don't like mine, compose your own. I would love to see someone doing better than me and the more people composing the better, for the best will rise to the surface, so to speak, and catch on. This way we will have a living, organic tradition!
I would love to see the Coverdale Psalms of the Anglican Ordinariate Psalter pointed in this way too. I am currently going through a Google Doc file of all 150 psalms and pointing them, and I hope to have that available later this year (it is quite time-consuming to do it, as you can imagine). If so, I may publish it myself with Way of Beauty press (which published my latest book The Vision for You - How to Discover the Life You Were Made For).
In the meantime, perhaps prayer.covert.org or another site that offers the Anglican Use Office might consider doing the same. I understand that the simple reason that Mr. Kochanski did this on Universalis was that someone wrote and asked!


Here is the photography highlights from Nicola & Kevin's wonderful wedding at Pembroke Castle and then moving onto the party at The Giltar Hotel in Tenby. The sun was shining and it was a very special day. Congratulations!


For a happy and harmonious father's day steer clear of driving lessons with your dear old dad is the advice being offered by AA Membership. The results of a light hearted AA membership poll, completed exclusively by parents who have dared to take their son or daughter for a driving lesson reveals that dads by and large have a lower patience threshold than mums when it comes to instructing their children.
At the other end of the patience scale 11.3% of the dads surveyed during the AA Membership poll said they simply didn't have the temperament for teaching their off spring how to drive. A slightly lower number of mums said the same. 9.2% of those surveyed said teaching their children how to drive was far from their natural calling and a major test of their patience.
For children looking to repay their dads for all the driving lessons, lifts and help with their car over the years, AA Membership has a special offer to celebrate Father's Day – 25% off all its Membership products.
As an AA Member your dad can enjoy Roadside Rescue Assistance, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in Ireland and the UK.

Queen Mary University of London is a Russell Group university, operating across five campuses in London and at sites across Europe and Asia. We have close to 4,500 members of staff and more than 25,000 students. The profile of our undergraduate students in London is distinctive for a Russell Group university - 91 per cent are from state school; 60 per cent are BAME; 42 per cent are first into Higher Education; and 27 per cent are from households where the annual taxable income is less than £10k. We teach and research across a wide range of subjects.
In April 2017 Queen Mary was awarded a grant from the HEFCE Catalyst Fund: Student Safeguarding on Campus for a project addressing sexual harassment on campus. This was in response to Universities UK's Harassment Taskforce report on the need for universities to do more to address this problem. This is a fixed term post working to progress actions identified as part of the above project and aiming to support the university's plans in tackling sexual violence, harassment and hate crime. The post holder works with colleagues from across the university and the Students' Union to develop new roles, reporting pathways, processes and systems in support of those plans.
This post is within the Student Life team; one of three student wellbeing teams based in Student and Academic Services. Student Life positively influences the student experience through education, communication and events in relation to student health, diversity, music and faith. The team works with the Students' Union and external partners towards the development of services in the above areas.
The successful candidate will have a relevant degree or equivalent professional qualifications alongside experience of project management and the ability to act independently. The postholder will also have effective time management skills, confidence and accuracy in written and verbal communication. Good understanding of and commitment to equality and diversity issues, as well as good knowledge of the UK higher education sector are essential.
The post is part time (21 hours per week), fixed term appointment for 1 year, to commence as soon as possible. Starting salary will be in the range of £37,411 - £44,015 per annum (pro rata), inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan.
The closing date for applications is 21 November 2018. Interviews are expected to be held shortly thereafter.


Each month I will be sharing a selection of 5 fashion labels that I love, would wear and also reflect a design aesthetic that I find inspiring. Fashion is one of many leading contributors in the design industry which inspires style and our daily lives.
Not only have the Scandinavians mastered the art of paired back and super stylish interior design but also with fashion industry too.
A Danish brand I love and have a few items myself. This label doesn't have one designer behind the label but a collaborative design team. 'Ganni has an instinct for designing pieces that style-obsessed women want in their wardrobes'.
Danish Label Vila mixes colour print and texture. An affordable brand with feminine and clean lines.
Super soft knits and stylish jersey-wear and laid back luxe, Selected Femme is one of my favs. This Danish brand was founded in 1975 as a small family owned company now sells in more than 5,300 stores in 43 countries. A vastly growing brand in both style and retail presence.
Scandinavian label Bruuns Bazaar brings as new fashion line BZR. With a focus on minimalist design this understated, clean lined and super stylish brand is one to watch.
Swedish outdoor clothing brand Fjallraven (translated, Arctic Fox) has become the must have label in anyone's wardrobe. The Fjallraven Kanken backpacks are iconic, originally designed for school children in the late 70's, now worn by children and adults alike.
Having looked at many Scandinavian design brands I think the message is to buy less, choose well (as Vivienne Westwood has said). Like interiors this attitude to design is creating classics, simple and paired back. These classic styles will last for years and I'm much more excited about this than the throw away fashion culture that is unfortunately becoming the norm.
Edit your wardrobe as you would when designing a room.


The WhatRunsWhere (Competitive Intelligence Tool) team reached out to me last week for an interview. Some of my answers are things I've never discussed on this blog before so you definitely don't want to miss this.
1) With an army of "make monies online" gurus, what's your motivation for dropping knowledge bombs on your blog?
2) You've been an arbitrage media buyer in a competitive industry with so many meteoric ups and downs lately. You speak about the motto "adapt or die", but does affiliate marketing still have a bright future?
3) CPA offers are rampant across various affiliate networks. When (if ever) does it make sense to "go direct" with a merchant/advertiser?
4) Aside from your site, what other resources should serious media buyers tap into for useful information?
5) What paid tools do you use? Do you see value in paid competitive intelligence subscriptions like WRW?

The APL2 systems on CMS, TSO, AIX®, Linux®, Sun Solaris and Windows all contain the following features: Cross system shared variables for synchronization and data transfer in a distributed processing environment. A TCP/IP socket interface for communicating with non-APL applications. Program control of an APL2 session by another application or APL2 user. Remote session manager capability.
The graphics processor supports generating high-quality graphics, text and images using a simple command syntax. The GRAPHPAK workspace is compatible with versions offered on all of the APL2 systems.
The TIME workspace allows for analysis of APL2 programs to determine performance bottlenecks.
Example and utility workspaces are provided which can be used directly or modified for individual needs.
APL2 accepts system commands and issues messages in several national languages. Unicode data is supported by the Tcl interface and the HTTP server. The APL2 Tcl interface supports access to the Tcl command language, which provides a wide variety of tools for string parsing, file IO and building GUIs.
IBM Workstation APL2 for Multiplatforms runs on IBM AIX®, Linux for PCs, Sun Solaris and Microsoft Windows.
