The Centre's educational programme Watch it Made, recently welcomed local schools to undertake the Watch it Made experience at Cranfield University.
Throughout the sessions, the children gained hands on practical experience in operating a lathe and engraver and seeing how their chosen watch faces were printed using UV ink jet printing. They assembled their manufactured watch parts with pre-supplied components (movement, hands, crown and stem, watch glass and strap) and went home with their own personalised timepiece.
Schools who have undertaken the experiences so far include Samuel Whitbread Academy, Arnold Academy and Goldington Academy.
Watch it Made is an educational outreach programme funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The idea was conceived by Cranfield University staff who wished to create an engineering activity that would make young learners experience the unique "pride of producing" that only engineering can offer, and to enthuse children into science, technology, engineering and mathematical subjects prior to their GCSE subject selections.

Q: Find last event for each entity in Lucene So I have events (documents) stored in a Lucene document store (version 6.2.1). Each document has a EntityId and a Timestamp.
There can be many documents with the same EntityId.
I want to retrieve the document which has the latest Timestamp for each EntityId.
Do I have to pull out every event and do this in Java? I had a look at faceting, but as far as I can see it is just for counts, not for max/min type aggregations

A: What you try to do can be done with a GroupingSearch available from the artifact lucene-grouping.
The GroupingSearch will group your documents by the provided group field (EntityId in our case) which have to be sorted otherwise on search you will get an error of the next type:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: unexpected docvalues type NONE for
  field '${field-name}' (expected=SORTED).

Then to be able to have the most recent document for a given EntityId, you will also need to have the field Timestamp sorted.
So for example if I index the documents as next:
String id = ..
long timestamp = ...
Document doc = new Document();
// The sorted version of my EntityId
doc.add(new SortedDocValuesField("EntityId", new BytesRef(id)));
// The stored version of my EntityId to be able to get its value later if needed
doc.add(new StringField("Id", id, Field.Store.YES));
// The sorted version of my timestamp
doc.add(new NumericDocValuesField("Timestamp", timestamp));
// The stored version of my timestamp to be able to get its value later if needed
doc.add(new StringField("Tsp", Long.toString(timestamp), Field.Store.YES));

I would then be able to get the most recent documents for a given EntityId as next:
IndexSearcher searcher = ...
// Some random query here I get all docs
Query query = new MatchAllDocsQuery();
// Group the docs by EntityId
GroupingSearch groupingSearch = new GroupingSearch("EntityId");
// Sort the docs of the same group by Timestamp in reversed order to get
// the most recent first
groupingSearch.setSortWithinGroup(
    new Sort(new SortField("Timestamp", SortField.Type.LONG, true))
);
// Set the limit of docs for a given group to 1 as we only want the latest
// NB: This is the default value so it is not required
groupingSearch.setGroupDocsLimit(1);
// Get the 10 first matching groups
TopGroups<BytesRef> result = groupingSearch.search(searcher, query, 0, 10);
// Iterate over the groups found
for (GroupDocs<BytesRef> groupDocs : result.groups) {
    // Iterate over the docs of a given group
    for (ScoreDoc scoreDoc : groupDocs.scoreDocs) {
        // Get the related doc
        Document doc = searcher.doc(scoreDoc.doc);
        // Print the stored value of EntityId and Timestamp
        System.out.printf(
            "EntityId = %s Timestamp = %s%n", doc.get("Id"),  doc.get("Tsp")
        );
    }
}

More details about grouping.

A: You could try using the Collapsing query parser like this (not tested):
fq={!collapse field=EntityId max=Timestamp}

Or you could probably achieve the same with Grouping

During a bushfire the safest place to be is away from the fire. Being involved in a fire may be one of the most traumatic experiences of your life. You and your family's survival and safety will depend on the decisions you make now and acting on these decisions. Do not wait and see.
Any decision you make should be based on your survival, homes can be rebuilt. Leaving early if a fire starts, hours before a fire reaches you, will always be the safest option for you and your family or household.
Only stay and defend your home if it is well prepared and constructed, and you are capable of actively defending it. Prepare for the emotional, mental and physical impact of defending your home. If you have any doubts about defending your home, you should leave.
If you do need to use your home for shelter, stay in the house when the fire front is passing. This usually takes five to 15 minutes. Keep checking for spot fires around and inside your home, especially in the roof space. Spot fires can still occur several hours after the main fire.
Remember to cover up as much skin as you can, but do not overload yourself with tight fitting or heavy clothing, as the heat will be intense. Two layers of loose fitting, natural fibre clothes work well. You should protect yourself from radiant heat with long sleeves, long trousers and strong leather boots.
Whether you choose to leave for a safer place or to shelter in a well prepared and defendable home, preparation is the key for survival.
It is Your responsibility to prepare for the safety and welfare of your pets or other farm animals in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.
If you plan ahead and are prepared your animals will stay safe and out of danger.
Check with the Shire about the possibility of natural hazards in your area and if there are animal welfare arrangements in place during an emergency.
It is a good idea to have a pet emergency kit and a plan for domestic pets to help guide you in the lead up to and during emergency situations.

Q: Evaluating Series at a point not working I have a series as an output and I am trying to plot it and/or evaluate it. How come that doesn't work? I get:

Attempt to evaluate a series at the number 0.10001838571428572`.
  Returning Indeterminate.

IntegrandSerie[x, z] /. {Z0 -> 1, S[x] -> 1, dWNorm[x] -> 1,
dWNorm1 -> 1, z -> 2}

(*Output: Abs[-12. + (1.95833 + 7.7 I) beta + (1.40482 - 0.584549 I)
beta^2+O[beta]^5/2]^2*)

Plot[IntegrandSerie[x, z] /. {Z0 -> 1, S[x] -> 1, dWNorm[x] -> 1,
dWNorm1 -> 1, z -> 2}, {beta, 0.1, 1}]

If I then do:
N[Abs[-12. + (1.95833 + 7.7 I) beta + (1.40482 - 0.584549 I)
beta^2]^2]/.beta->1

I actually get a value of 125.225. However, Plot[N[...]] doesn't work.

A: You can get rid of the O using Normal:
(* using your reported output *)
out =  Abs[-12. + (1.95833 + 7.7 I) beta + (1.40482 - 0.584549 I) beta^2 +O[beta]^5/2]^2;

Plot[ Evaluate @ Normal @ out, { beta, 0.1, 1 } ]

So maybe a simple Evaluate might help.
Update: Including the Bachmann-Landau notation of the OP's edited question.

A: Try making the function you want to plot really a function of beta, like
 f[beta_?NumericQ]=IntegrandSerie[x, z] /. {Z0 -> 1, S[x] -> 1,dWNorm[x] -> 1,
dWNorm1 -> 1, z -> 2}

and then plot
Plot[f[x],{x,0,.1,1}]

Indonesian Coal Industry Protests January Export Ban, Pledges to Ease Domestic Shortfall
Ronna Nirmala and Arie Firdaus
Coal barges queue up to be pulled along the Mahakam River in Samarinda, East Kalimantan province, Indonesia, Aug. 31, 2019.
Coal mine operators in Indonesia on Monday protested the government's January export ban, saying it would bring up prices for the fuel and dent importers' confidence in one of the world's largest suppliers of thermal coal.
The government took a necessary step last week to halt coal exports because local producers had failed to supply the required 25 percent of their output for domestic use, analysts said. They added that the state should pay the market price for the coal it buys, instead of U.S. $20 below the global rate.
The Indonesian Coal Company Association urged the government to lift the ban, saying companies would quickly meet the required quota for supplying coal to PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (the State Electricity Company), which operates coal-fired power plants.
"The policy was taken hastily and without being discussed with companies. We conveyed our objections and asked the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources to withdraw the decision immediately," said Pandu Sjahrir, chairman of the association (APBI).
Indonesia exported 29 million tons of coal in January 2021, slightly down from 32 million tons in January 2020. Almost 32 percent of Indonesia's total coal production of 405 million tons went to China in 2020. Other top buyers included India, the Philippines, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea – none of them have commented on their potential imports being affected.
Last week, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources stopped coal companies' exports for January, saying they had failed in their obligation to supply at least a quarter of their output for domestic needs. PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara, the state utility, secures its coal supply 20 days before using it to generate power.
The ministry added that the shortfall could affect nearly 20 power plants, which generate electricity for 10 million consumers.
"When the domestic supply has been fulfilled, exports can be resumed. We would re-evaluate the policy after Jan. 5," Ridwan Djamaluddin, the ministry's director general of Mineral and Coal, said in a statement Saturday.
APBI said that temporarily stopping exports would make coal prices shoot up and result in up to U.S. $3 billion in lost revenue for January.
Ripple effects from the ban would also cause losses for the shipping industry, whose vessels are already headed to Indonesia to load coal. "This will [also] result in Indonesia's reputation and reliability as a global coal supplier," Pandu said.
Hendra Sinadia, the executive director of APBI, told local media that the government and businessmen were having intense discussions about the policy, and said the coal mining firms would seek a quick solution to supply the state utility's coal needs.
The temporary ban was unfair, said the chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, noting that not all coal mining companies had failed in fulfilling their domestic obligations.
"We hope that the government implements a fair and consistent reward and punishment system, not a sweeping ban for all coal companies," Arsjad Rasjid said in a statement.
Finance minister: 'No free options'
Meanwhile on Monday, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said that the temporary ban prioritized the needs of the people and encouraged coal companies to comply with what are known as Domestic Market Obligations (DMO).
"There must be sacrifices because there are no free options. The government picked [the option that has a] minimum impact on the people," Sri Mulyani told reporters.
"We see that there are issues of coal prices, DMO decisions, and domestic electricity. We are forced to choose in a rapidly changing situation."
According to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, it had reminded companies several times to fulfill their commitments in supplying the State Electricity Company. However, as of Jan. 1 this year, the companies only met less than 1 percent, or around 35 metric tons, of the target of 5.1 million metric tons required for domestic needs.
"If strategic steps are not taken immediately, power outages will occur widely," Ridwan, the senior official at the energy ministry, said.
Mamit Setiawan, executive director of Energy Watch, a think-tank which focuses on the energy sector in Jakarta, said the ban on coal exports was appropriate because power outages would eventually disrupt the economy.
"Electricity is a basic need for the residents … maintaining domestic economic sustainability is important because, after almost two years of the pandemic, the economy has started to revive again. If it slows down due to coal supplies, it will be regrettable," he told BenarNews.
This policy should serve as a warning for the companies to be committed to national interests, he added.
"This is a firm step for the government and an opportunity to prove that the state is present in meeting the energy needs of the community," he said.
Meanwhile, the Institute for Essential Services Reform, a local NGO that advocates for using natural resources to support human development, said the government needed to review the policy on Domestic Market Obligations. In his view, the policy sets coal sale prices too low compared to the global market.
"Why are coal miners reluctant? Because the market price disparity with DMO is far, they are not wrong to seek profit," Fabby Tumiwa, the institute's executive director, said in a written statement to BenarNews.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has set the DMO price for coal at $70 per ton since 2018, while coal miners say the price should follow market dynamics, where coal currently sells at around $90 per ton.

Commission for Countering Extremism
(Counter-extremism)
The image on the Home Office tweeted announcement of the new commission to "counter extremism".
Commissioner for Countering Extremism
Incumbent: Sara Khan
A "counter-extremism" group set up after the 2017 Manchester bombing.|
The Home Office tweet announcing that they would set up a new commission to "counter extremism". Reaction was generally negative, and centred on the failure to explain what was meant by "extremism".[1]
The Commission for Countering Extremism is a "counter extremism" group set up by the UK Home Office after the 2017 Manchester bombing. Questioning the image used by the Home Office for announcing its creation, The Guardian stated that it evoked an "Orwellian vision of [the] anti-extremism commission".[2]
1 Official narrative
1.1 Activities
Official narrative
The UK Home Office website announced in January 2018 that: "the Commission will play a key role in the ongoing fight to counter extremism in the UK. It will:
Identify extremism and advise the Government on new policies to tackle extremism, including whether there is a need for new powers.
Support communities and the public sector in confronting extremism wherever it exists.
Promote British values and community cohesion – including ensuring women's rights are upheld." [3]
"The Home Secretary and the Lead Commissioner [Sara Khan] have agreed the following priorities:"
"Engaging widely and openly on extremism and Britain's values across the public sector, communities, civil society, and with legal and academic experts. We need to make the case for tackling extremism and the harms it causes, beyond terrorism, in our communities.
Producing a strategic assessment of the threat we face from extremism, and the current response. This will consider the prevalence, concentration and range of extremism that exists in this country, identify the drivers of extremism, and review the success of current approaches in tackling it.
Advising Ministers on the Commission's future structures, work programme and the appointment of further commissioners. This advice will in part be informed by the Lead Commissioner's engagement with stakeholders."
(25 January 2018) [3]
Without citing evidence, the website claimed twice in successive sections that "Extremism causes a wide range of harms, including the promotion of hatred and division, discrimination against women and girls, the encouragement of isolation, and the rejection of our democratic system and the rule of law."
In January 2018 Sara Khan was appointed Commissioner for Countering Extremism, a widely criticised choice.[4][5][6][7][8] She stated that she would "create a Commission that is forthright in challenging extremism in the name of our shared values, fundamental freedoms and human rights."[9]

DMR, Solan has signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) for conducting research work on different aspects of mushroom at DMR as part of Ph.D. programmes with the following universities.
Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad (A.P.).


When a lawsuit charges a school with violating the Constitution by using timeouts to control a violent child, judicialization of education has arguably reached a new extreme. Yet federal appellate judges resisted intervention, and instead showed that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), when followed to the letter, may protect school officials from liability.
A mother in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jennifer Couture, sued school officials, claiming that their use of a timeout room for her son ("M.C.") violated his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable seizures and Fourteenth Amendment right to due process. The defendants claimed qualified immunity, which requires courts to rule in favor of a government employee unless the conduct violates "clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known." A district court found for the plaintiff but was reversed by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in August 2008.
M.C. in 2002 was six years old, profane, and violent. He hit furniture and threatened to kill students and teachers with hot oil. Having judged him "emotionally disturbed," school officials had placed him in a special education program and prepared an Individualized Education Plan in consultation with his mother, who signed it. Teachers were obliged to follow the plan and report to his mother daily. Among the techniques of "behavioral intervention" prescribed were supervised timeouts in a timeout room.
After a visit, Ms. Couture objected to the characteristics of the room: "very small" with "carpeting, but no padding on the walls. Nothing in it…. It had a very dim light." In an administrative appeal to a hearing officer, she also complained of "inappropriate reliance upon timeouts and physical restraints." Defeated there, she complained to the district court under section 1983 of the U.S. Code, which individual litigants often use in an effort to show that state or local officials have deprived them of constitutional or federal statutory rights. The district court was troubled by the length of some of the timeouts and what seemed on occasion to be insufficient provocation on M.C.'s part, such as refusing to take his spelling test.
In response to the Fourteenth Amendment claim, the court said that at some point, removing M.C. from the classroom and putting him in timeout might have gone so far as to deprive him of a protected interest in a public education, but the circuit judges, unlike the district court, concluded that 21 timeouts totaling approximately 12 hours over two and a half months did not go that far. Besides, they said, timeouts were not an interruption of his education, they were part of it.
For schools, the decision signaled that courts would prefer leaving management of troubled students to educational professionals as long as they abide by the law. For state governments wishing to avoid lawsuits, the lesson may be that laws should be crafted to give parents ample choice. For example, Florida law gives all parents with a child in special education the option of finding a private school with support to the same level as the average spent statewide on students with that disability.

Hypermagic — седьмой студийный альбом голландского дуэта Laserdance, выпущенный 30 июня 1993 года. Композитором всех песен является Михиль ван дер Кёй (Michiel van der Kuy).

Альбом продолжил классический стиль группы и, как и в предыдущем альбоме Technological Mind, присутствуют только быстрые, динамичные и танцевальные треки. Выпущен он был поспешно, без аранжировки Михиля ван дер Кёя, хотя на этот раз альбом удивляет более широким спектром мелодических решений, позволявших отличить друг от друга отдельные песни. Темп песен немного выше чем в предыдущих альбомах. Альбом выпущен только на CD, потому что содержит композиций больше, чем может поместиться на пластинке.

Авторство произведений
Обложка голландского альбома (Hotsound Records) не содержит информации о композиторе. На обложке немецкого издания (ZYX Music) в качестве автора указан Эрик ван Флит (Erik van Vliet). В свою очередь, на обложке польского издания (Snake' s Music) в качестве композиторов указаны оба участника проекта Laserdance. По словам Михиля, ван Флит никогда не выполнял в Laserdance функции ни композитора, ни исполнителя. Будучи исполнительным продюсером, ван Флит купил авторские права у настоящего автора и, таким образом, мог поместить свое имя в композиции, которые он никогда не создавал.

Над обложкой альбома работал голландский график и композитор Эдвин ван дер Лааг (Edwin van der Laag), который одновременно работал с Эриком ван Флитом над другим проектом под названием Syntech.
Это единственный компакт-диск, который был выпущен в двух версиях: одна версия стерео, а другая — в формате Dolby Surround. Для версии Dolby к номеру диска добавлена буква D (ZYX 20239D-2), сам диск с чёрной наклейкой, а на обложке надпись Dolby Surround.

NEW BEDFORD - A New Bedford man is arrested after police find an assortment of drugs in his possession following a traffic stop.
Police stopped a vehicle in the area of 89 Campbell Street at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday for traffic violations, and determined that the driver, Napolean Tavares, 28, of New Bedford, was driving with a revoked license.
Police searched Tavares and found he was in possession of prescription narcotics, 1.75 grams of cocaine in packages, and $990.50 in cash.
Tavares is charged with driving an uninsured motor vehicle, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, refusing to identify self, use of a motor vehicle without authority, possession of a Class E drug, and possession and distribution of a Class B drug.


I should have remembered that as soon as I sit down at the computer, that's always Manasse's cue to jump up in my lap and make typing an extremely arduous exercise...so what should have taken me no more than a minute to write has now taken me ten.
This is just a quick note to say that as per usual, I've left sending cards too late for some of them to reach you in time for Christmas; in fact, so far I haven't sent any yet, because I haven't even had a chance to buy them. I will go out for them later this afternoon though, as I'm feeling slightly better today and will likely return to work tomorrow (with this being a new job, I don't want them to think I'm skiving off already).
All this typing around a cat's wriggly bottom has made me very hungry all of a sudden; I think I'll make myself a ploughman's lunch in a minute, or at least a rough approximation of it, depending on what ingredients I can find in my larder. There'll be the bread and cheese, obviously, but I'm afraid I'll have to forego on the cider. Pity, a drop of that pear and strawberry cider I tasted earlier in the year (or was it last year?) would go down a treat just now.


Spaghetti donuts are spaghetti noodles baked to fit the shape of a donut. Surprisingly soft and delectable, this treat comes in three flavors (pesto, marinara and bacon Alfredo).
The month-long San Diego County Fair annually draws 1.6 million people who ride the Ferris wheel, drink craft beers and indulge in unhealthy, yet tasty, fried foods from June 1 at 4 p.m. until the fireworks go off on July 4.
This year's theme is "How Sweet It Is" with a whole new set of rare and unusual foods and drinks from vendors including Chicken Charlie's, Pignotti's, Mike Hess, and much more.
"I can promise you, no two days are alike," Del Mar Fairgrounds CEO Tim Fennell said in a speech to news media.
With so many years under its belt, the fair has built a community of legacy merchants who have greeted some guests for their entire lives. Pignotti's began at the fair in 1964. Today, they infuse the same tradition they always have with the absurdity that comes with fair food. This juxtaposition creates a luscious headscratcher.
Spaghetti donuts are spaghetti noodles baked to fit the shape of a donut. Surprisingly soft and delectable, this treat comes in three flavors (pesto, marinara and bacon Alfredo), but this is not all they have to offer. Pignotti's is rolling out lasagna nachos with a five cheese, ricotta blend, fried fish kebabs with shark, octopus, Alaskan cod, freshly cut zucchini, and for dessert, cannolis drizzled in caramel, chocolate or a delightful combination of the two.
Craft beer and cocktail drinkers are in for a surprise this year with breweries Mike Hess and Ballast Point releasing San Diego exclusive beers. Mike Hess is releasing a tangerine infused IPA called Tangerine A-Fair, and Ballast Point is releasing a new wheat beer called Made in San Diego Golden Ale.
Those 21 and over should also look out for three food and drink festivals spread throughout the course of the fair. The Toast of the Coast Food and Wine Festival takes place Saturday, June 9, the International Beer Festival runs from June 15-17, and Distilled: San Diego Spirit and Cocktail Festival is on Saturday, June 23.
Tickets to The Fair and any corresponding events are available either online or at the Del Mar Fairgrounds box office. Adult tickets are $19, seniors and kids ages 6 to 12 pay $12 and those ages 5 and younger are free. By far the best deal is a season pass available for $28, which gets you into any of the 26 days. These are available online, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds box office or at any San Diego Von's or Albertsons.

Dexcom Philippines New Office Fit-out Project
Dexcom is an industry leader that develops, manufactures, and distributes glucose monitoring system for diabetes management. This glucose monitoring technology helps patients and healthcare professionals around the world to better manage diabetes. As its business continues to grow globally, Dexcom has decided to establish their Global Business Services operations in the Philippines.
As a start-up company in the Philippines and with the intention to attract more talents, Dexcom's office was built with modern and world class design, equipped with high-end technologies and facilities that promote dynamic work settings. Dexcom wanted to ensure that their office is not a typical workplace, but an office with plenty of collaborative spaces for exchanging ideas, lively environment that boost employees mood, and an ergonomic friendly facility that their employees would enjoy.
01 THE CHALLENGE
The building was not yet completed when the leased spaces were handed over to Dexcom. The Landlord's major pending deliverables include water tightness of the building, completion of common areas and building utilities, which affected the overall project timeline. Water leaks were experienced during heavy rains which delayed the construction and incurred damage to the site.
Dexcom's safety concerns for their target go live day in their new office was a great challenge to the project. The main entrance and exit of the building cannot be accessed as the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) insisted not to remove the barricade and overhead protection (OHP) of the base building. Landlord proposed to use the back entrance where construction was ongoing, but this was immediately declined by the project team, as this was a high risk for the safety of the employees. Another concern was only one passenger elevator was operational, which cannot accommodate the expected 400 employees who will move in to the new office.
Unavailability of proper documentation and permits required by Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) was also a challenge, which became a risk for Dexcom's migration from their temporary space to their permanent office.
02 THE SOLUTION
The project team strategically updated the project timeline considering the delays on Landlord's deliverables. Construction was done by phasing to meet the target project completion. Simultaneous works were executed by the main contractor and building's general contractor in order to complete Landlord's deliverables. The project team diligently tracked their pending works and ensured it will be completed on the agreed timelines.
The project team initiated to go directly to Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) to discuss the issues on the barricade and overhead protection (OHP). BFP provided list of items/requirements for the removal of barricade and OHP, which were coordinated by project team to the Landlord. The project team closely monitored Landlord's compliance on BFP's requirements and ensured that the main entrance and exit will be ready prior to the move in schedule. Frequent meetings were initiated by the project team with the Landlord to discuss the timelines for elevator installations, testing, and commissioning. The schedule provided by the Landlord was closely tracked and any delays were escalated immediately to make necessary adjustments.
As Dexcom's operation team were not yet fully established, C&W's move management team took the lead in collating all necessary documents required by Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) for their transfer to their permanent office. The move management team led the discussion and coordination with PEZA and ensured all documents will be filed properly, and all the necessary permits needed for their office migration will be acquired.
03 THE RESULT
Cushman & Wakefield provided Dexcom with end-to-end solutions to their project requirements, from leasing, project management, cost management, move management, and contracts administration services. Our ability to provide packaged services and our expertise in delivering PEZA projects were the key factors for the success of this project.
Moreover, Dexcom's first office in the Philippines will not be completed successfully without the power of collaboration, strategic approach, and diligent coordination with all project stakeholders and authorities exerted by the entire Cushman and Wakefield team. Remarkably, our one team one goal approach is very essential to ensure successful delivery of every project.
Dexcom is now fully operational in the Philippines and expecting continuous growth in the next coming years.

March 19, 2022 Ilyas Entertaiment, News
Dongyo Entertainment, as the management of boyband DONGKIZ , announced a number of changes for the group. One of them is to rename the group to DKZ.
This was announced through a post on DONGKIZ's official fancafe. They also announced that one of their members, Wondae, had decided to leave the group.
The doctor thinks Wondae should undergo regular rehabilitation in the future. So, Wondae decided to leave DONGKIZ," said Dongyo Entertainment.
Ahead of his comeback, we suggest Munik to return to activities and check his condition. We also gave him time to think about this. However, it was decided that Munik would not participate in the comeback because his condition is still not good fully recovered."
Dongyo Entertainment then announced the renaming of DONGKIZ . Starting April 2022, the group name will change to DKZ.
"As can be seen in the release of the official logo before the name change, DONGKIZ will be reintroduced to fans under the name DKZ starting April 2022," explained Dongyo Entertainment.
Then, we will also add three new members. In the future, DKZ will be active with Kyoungyoon, Jaechan, and Jonghyeong. DONGKIZ and DKZ are not different groups, but we hope fans will see them as two groups merging into one that connects the past, the future now, and in the future. We hope the fans will continue to give them support and love," he added.
At the end of the statement, Dongyo Entertainment apologized because fans had to wait a long time for DONGKIZ to make a comeback. Management also thanks fans who have supported Wondae and Munik in their recovery.
Previously, the song DONGKIZ for the first time entered the chart since its debut because of the popularity of Jaechan who starred in the Semantic Error series.

Remarks in a Briefing on Wildfires in McClellan Park, California
The President. Well, thank you very much, it's great to be here. Great to be with the Governor. We've been speaking a lot about the problem, and it's a big problem, and it will get solved. We want to pay our love and respect—and we say "God bless you"—to those that were killed in this horrible fire, because it's a series of fire. You put them together, and it's a big monster, Gavin. Right?
Governor Gavin C. Newsom of California. Yes, yes.
The President. It's a big monster. But we are showing and give unwavering support for the people of California and, I have to say, for the State of Washington and Oregon, who we're very much in touch with—also declaring your declarations. We have declarations for all three. The Governor of California called me up, and we immediately signed the declaration. I think a lot of people would take a lot longer——
Gov. Newsom. Yes.
The President. ——but we wanted it fast. And I want to thank all of the FEMA people for doing such a great job. We really appreciate it. They've been fantastic. They've been fantastic.
And thank you to Gavin Newsom; Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf; FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor; and all of the people—State, local leaders. They join us today.
And we're having a separate news conference a little bit later on some other subjects. And I just want to thank everybody. It's been pretty amazing.
In August, I approved a major disaster declaration for California. I've approved, I think, Gavin, about 40 Stafford Act declarations—so, very quickly, because we want to get this thing taken care of—including fire management assistant grants to help multiple States stop the fires. More than 28,000 firefighters and first responders are combating the fires in California, Oregon, and Washington. Over 230 soldiers are fighting the August Complex fire, and that's the largest fire in California.
The President. That's the big one.
The President. That's the biggest.
And we want to thank all of the brave fighters. We want to thank these incredible people. The first responders, servicemembers who are racing to the extreme peril, really, of their lives, and extreme danger.
Soon after the event, I'll present the Distinguished Flying Cross to seven military heroes who recently braved raging fire and suffocating smoke to save lives. So we have seven people that were recommended very strongly by your representatives. And we're going to give them a very nice medal—a very important medal for—a U.S. medal that's very powerful, very important. So I know you like that. Together, we'll keep the people safe. I want to thank the Governor for the job he's done. We've had great coordination, great relationship. I know we come from different sides of the planet—[laughter]—but we actually have a very good relationship. A good man.
And, Governor, would you like to say something? Please.
Gov. Newsom. No, well, it's great to have you back——
The President. Thank you.
Gov. Newsom. ——here in the State, Mr. President. Thank you for being here, in particular, with two of the Coast Guard aircrafts that we're now bringing into the California family——
The President. Right.
Gov. Newsom. ——that are being retrofitted, these C-130s. Just an example—another example of the partnership between the Federal Government and the State of California. That partnership, of course, extended with the incredible collaborative spirit of FEMA.
Pete has done an amazing job. He's known by first name as Pete out here in the State of California. Bob Fenton, his regional director. We're joined by Thom Porter, the chief of CAL FIRE——
The President. Good job, thank you.
Gov. Newsom. ——head of natural resources Wade Crowfoot.
Pleased to have the Fresno County Mayor here, Mayor [Sheriff]* Mims. And, of course, supervisor from up north in Siskiyou was kind enough to come all the way down. We've got fires from Siskiyou County, right up there at the border of Oregon, all the way down to the Mexican border.
About a month ago, literally to the day, we began to have a series of 14,000 lightning strikes over a 3-day period; 1,100 fires have sparked in the last month; 2.8 million acres, just in the last 30 days, have burned—unprecedented in California history; 3.2 million over the course of this calendar year.
There's over 16,500 firefighters currently out on the lines. And I'm very pleased and I'm very grateful, Mr. President, that you're recognizing some of the other heroes, those National Guard men——
Gov. Newsom. ——and women that did an extraordinary job saving the lives of hundreds and hundreds of people stranded with some of these most intense fires.
You mentioned the August Complex: 789,000 acres, the largest in California history. We have a series of forest fires, but also brush fires and grass fires that we're tackling. We've made great progress in the last few weeks, though tragically we've lost 24 lives, so far, to these battles; 4,200-plus structures——
The President. Wow, that's a lot.
Gov. Newsom. ——have been lost, and 44,000 people have evacuated.
I want to thank you and acknowledge the work that you've done to be immediate, in terms of your response to our FMAG requests—14. We were just talking—Mark Ghilarducci is the head of the Office of Emergency Services—this may be a record that the State's received in the FMAG support, as well as the major disaster declaration, which you referenced, on August 22, which was profoundly significant, not only to help us support our mutual aid system, but also individuals that are in desperate need of support.
We can agree to disagree, and I appreciate your frame on the politics of this. But let me just acknowledge two things briefly, and I'll turn it back to you. There's no question, when you look past this decade and looking past almost a thousand-plus years, that we have not done justice on our forest management. I don't think anyone disputes that. I want to acknowledge we have our U.S. Forest representative here.
The State of California, your administration just entered into a first-of-its-type commitment, over the next 20 years, to double our vegetation management and forest management.
Gov. Newsom. I want to thank you for supporting that effort, funding that effort. We acknowledge our role and responsibility to do more in that space.
But one thing is fundamental: 57 percent of the land in this State is Federal forest land; 3 percent is California. So we really do need that support. We need that emphasis of engagement. And we are fully committed to working with you to advance that cause.
And final point: I'd be negligent—and this is not—and we've known each other too long—and, as you suggest, that the working relationship—I value. We obviously feel very strongly that the hots are getting hotter, the dries are getting drier. When we're having heat domes, the likes of which we've never seen in our history; the hottest August ever in the history of the State; the ferocity of these fires; the drought, 5-plus years; losing 163 million trees to that drought—something has happened to the plumbing of the world. And we come from a perspective, humbly, where we submit, the science is in and observed evidence is self-evident that climate change is real, and that is exacerbating this.
And so I think there's an area of, at least, commonality on vegetation and forest management. But, please, respect—and I know you do—the difference of opinion out here——
The President. Sure.
Gov. Newsom. ——as it relates to this fundamental issue on the issue of climate change.
The President. Absolutely.
Gov. Newsom. Appreciate that.
The President. Chad, please.
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad F. Wolf. Well, thank you, Mr. President, for coming to Sacramento today and, again, taking that decisive action that we heard the Governor talk about in really pulling the full resources of the Federal Government here to California, as well as to other areas out here in the West.
[At this point, Acting Secretary Wolf continued his remarks, concluding as follows.]
And then, let me just say thanks, as you did, Mr. Secretary—Mr. President, to the brave firefighters and all the first responders that are responding every day to the fires that we see here. Those are the heroes of the day, and we're just happy to be part of that process; happy to support them with the resources through your office, Mr. President; and just really, again, look forward to the partnership we have here and continuing to push that along.
The President. Well, they're doing a great job, and they really have over the years. We've—it's a tough battle, but they've never let us down.
Gov. Newsom. No.
The President. Incredible what they're able to do, and the risk and the danger.
Pete Gaynor, please. FEMA.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Peter T. Gaynor. Sir, you're going to hear this constantly about the partnership. I can't say enough about the Federal, the State, counties, Tribes working together out here in California, from the Governor on down. It is a true team effort.
And I know—you know, through the major disaster decs and FMAGs have allowed the Governor's team to exercise all the resources that the Federal Government has to protect—to respond and protect life, and that's the number-one priority. I know we're going to be working on debris removal, and then lastly, protection of the watershed to prevent follow-on disasters, come the wet season. So, together, I couldn't ask—be prouder to be part of this team in California.
The President. That's great. Thank you, Pete. Great job. Let everybody know what we think. Incredible job.
So, Wade and Thom, please.
California Natural Resources Agency Secretary Wade Crowfoot. Yes, well, from our perspective, there is amazing partnership on the ground, and there needs to be. As the Governor said, we've had temperatures explode this summer. You may have learned that we broke a world record in the Death Valley: 130 degrees. But even in Greater L.A.: 120-plus degrees. And we're seeing this warming trend make our summers warmer, but also our winters warmer as well.
So I think one area of mutual agreement and priority is vegetation management, but I think we want to work with you to really recognize the changing climate and what it means to our forests and actually work together with that science; that science is going to be key. Because if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think it's all about vegetation management, we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians.
The President. Okay. It will start getting cooler. [Laughter]
Secretary Crowfoot. I wish——
The President. You just watch. [Laughter]
Secretary Crowfoot. I wish science agreed with you.
The President. Well, I don't think science knows, actually.
Thom, please.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Director Thom Porter. So, Mr. President, if you—if you're okay, I'd like to approach the map.
The President. Yes, I'd love that. Thank you.
Director Porter. And Governor, good?
Gov. Newsom. That's great. Thanks, Chief.
Director Porter. So, on my way, I'll just reiterate, this is—[inaudible]—as has been already identified. But I wanted to approach the map because what this displays very simply is, all of the green is Federal lands—Forest Service, BIA, BLM—all of the agencies, including the Fish and Wildlife Service. The yellow is all private land, and then that 3 percent—you can't really see, it's scattered out here; that's the State land.
But what we have showing here is the ownership and then the fires that we're currently fighting, all the way from down on near the Mexican border within 8 miles of the Mexican border, all the way into Oregon. So we got a thousand-mile spread between these fires. We have about—in order to put a line around these fires, with all the partnership we were talking about, we have to cut lines—scrape line in the ground from here to Chicago. So it's a lot of dirt we have to move. But——
The President. And why is that? Why are you doing that?
Director Porter. You have to put a line between the green and the black in order to put a fire out.
The President. Really?
Director Porter. We do.
So what we're seeing is: In the south here, in around 2000, we had beetle kill that caused large fires—the Cedar Fire, the Old Fire——
Director Porter. ——the Grand Prix—huge fires in 2000. In 2010s, through the '15 time, massive beetle kill in this area and large fires throughout.
The President. Would those trees have died anyway from the beetle kill?
Director Porter. They died from beetles, from drought.
The President. So they were largely dead, or the area was largely dead in terms of the trees?
Director Porter. True. They were—they died from the beetle kill, and then—and now they're being burned up by the fires.
The President. Yes.
Director Porter. Now we're also seeing in—here's the——
The President. Do you view that differently? When the trees are dead and the whole area—because I know the beetle kill has been terrible.
Director Porter. Yes.
The President. So do you view that differently? And now you're going to be clearing it or doing whatever you're going to do?
Gov. Newsom. A hundred and sixty-three million. So it's——
Gov. Newsom. ——boy, it's a——
The President. No, it's something.
Gov. Newsom. ——hell of a chop, right, to start clearing that out.
Director Porter. Right. Yes. So we——
The President. But those trees are dead and, therefore, they're very flammable; they're explosive.
Director Porter. They are. They are. So then, we have what I'll call the asbestos forest, the redwood region. It doesn't burn more than a few hundred acres on occasion. But this year, we have 85,000, plus almost 60,000, plus these fires are getting into redwood as well. We're going to have over——.
The President. So why is—because of the thickness, the power of tree? Why aren't they burning?
Director Porter. They have bark that's about 2 feet thick.
The President. And they're very wet.
Director Porter. And they're very much—they're very wet. They're very resilient to fire.
The President. Are you losing some redwoods or almost none?
Director Porter. Some redwoods are dying, but most of them will be okay. It's everything else that's getting—[inaudible].
The President. No kidding. That's something. I never heard that before.
So, with time, they could go, but the fact is, they don't go with the fires. That's a fantastic——
Director Porter. So yes, and they're 2,000 years old in that area.
The President. That is so incredible.
Gov. Newsom. It's incredible to see.
The President. Think of that. Yes.
Director Porter. So that's kind of the landscape——
The President. So your giant redwoods are where? What area? The giant redwoods.
Director Porter. So we have coastal redwoods, and then we have giant sequoia, which is—they're the biggest girth of a tree.
The President. And they're in good shape?
Director Porter. They're getting burned, but they're—they will also survive. Those ancient trees will survive. But this fire down here, the SQF Complex is——
The President. Will the bark regenerate on the outside, eventually?
Director Porter. The bark will continue to accumulate on the outside, and then the tree will continue to survive.
The President. Do you see a big difference?
The President. You see it. Will that change with time, where you don't see it? Or will you always know there was a fire there?
Director Porter. We'll always know there was a fire.
The President. You'll always know——
Director Porter. Because they have——
The President. ——on the redwoods.
Director Porter. They get scars over time.
Director Porter. That's how we can tell——
The President. Well, that in itself is a shame, when you think, right?
Gov. Newsom. Oh, boy.
The President. That in itself is a shame, so—that's an incredible story. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Mark, would you like to say something?
Governor's Office of Emergency Services Director Mark S. Ghilarducci. Well, Mr. President, first of all, thanks for being here. The term I use here is a term I use—"one team, one fight"—and it really does represent everything that you're seeing today. All the agencies that we're working with—before, during, and then after these disasters occur—I couldn't be more pleased. Our partnership with FEMA has been fantastic.
Right now, you know, as you mentioned, you've provided a major disaster for 11 counties within the State—different categories. And many of the people who have lost things have already started to register with FEMA, and that's been really a beneficial support to us.
The President. Right. Right.
Director Ghilarducci. So we appreciate that.
And the mitigation is really, really critical. You know, since 2017, we've done 94 projects, about 138 million dollars' worth of mitigation focused on fire prevention. It's a whole variety of different kinds of projects and programs within the wild land and people—what we call the WUI, the wild-land-urban interface, to try to buy down the amount of impacts that these fires are occurring. And so we really appreciate that. All these new fires and this new declaration provides additional mitigation funds, which we will turn back around and continue to support the mitigation efforts.
The President. How many individual fires do you have?
Director Ghilarducci. I think we have, right now, actively, about 29 major fires.
The President. So when you add them all up, this is about as big as it's ever been, right?
Gov. Newsom. Yes, I mean, well 1,100 just since—I mean, think about that: 1,100——
Gov. Newsom. ——fire starts in the last 29 days with 29 complexes—[inaudible].
The President. So we all put them out—most of them are put out early?
Gov. Newsom. Many—making tremendous progress. The largest—the three largest, they're still active. Two of them are substantially contained.
Gov. Newsom. The August, we have still a lot of work to do.
Secretary Crowfoot. And, Governor, if I could, just for the President, this is a bar chart that shows the acreage burned over the years. Top bar is this year. And the real scary part——
The President. Yes Secretary Crowfoot. ——Mr. President, is we're only partway through the season.
Secretary Crowfoot. The worst fire that you obviously visited, the Paradise fire, happened in October.
The President. That was a bad one.
Secretary Crowfoot. So we're still staring down the barrel of worse fires potentially this year.
The President. We were there together. Let me ask you, in Paradise—so did they have—it was like a blowtorch, right? Because the winds are 85 miles an hour. Nobody has ever seen anything like that. So that was different. Has there ever been anything like that in terms of the power and the heat?
Participant. No.
Secretary Crowfoot. Well, I'll tell you this, sir: The Creek Fire that the sheriff evacuated folks from is generating some of the worst heat in Fresno and Madera Counties that's ever been experienced, creating its own weather cloud that almost looked like a mushroom cloud.
The President. I see. So that creates the heat also. That's incredible.
Would you like to say something, please?
Fresno County, CA, Sheriff Margaret Mims. Yes, sir. First of all, thank you, Mr. President, for coming and visiting California. And, on behalf of Fresno County, who I'm speaking for today, I want to thank you for your visit.
Beginning on September 4, our Creek Fire started, and it impacted not only the residents, but utility infrastructure that services California.
Sheriff Mims. Yes.
The President. That's right. That's a big problem isn't it, huh? How is that going?
Gov. Newsom. Progress. We got the largest utility in the United States, PG&E, out of bankruptcy in record time with——
The President. Good.
Gov. Newsom. ——firm commitments to make sure we never walk back down that path.
The President. Good. That's a lot of utilities that are burning up though.
The President. Go ahead.
Sheriff Mims. So our fire, right now, is over 200,000 acres, and it's really more than any single, local government can take care of, and so we are asking for assistance. And we've already made some progress today by getting ahold of FEMA, and I made a request from Pete to have a representative right in our command post, and we're making that happen. So that's going to be very valuable for us.
Not only has it impacted our woodland, but the families that have lived there for generations in that area. The Big Creek hydroelectric power generating system that served California for over a hundred years is destroyed, as well as the people that lived there and their homes that operate that system. One major concern in the future is erosion, slope stability, ash runoff, and possible mudslides as a result.
The President. So what's going to take the place of that generator? What are you going to do?
Sheriff Mims. We have to actually restart it—the Southern California Edison.
The President. So you'll be able to fix it and restart it?
Director Ghilarducci. [Inaudible]—the process.
The President. It's big damage? Big.
Director Ghilarducci. Well, it was a hydroelectric plant that was—wasn't directly damaged, but there was damage leading up to the facility.
The President. I see.
Director Ghilarducci. And so we're mitigating all that now.
The President. I love hydro—hydroelectric. I love. [Laughter] I think it's great. You must like that. I love it. I love the hydroelectric. [Laughter] Go ahead. Please.
Sheriff Mims. So far, we've had over 300 structures that have burned, but we could have had many more, and I need to commend the efforts that CAL FIRE gave to us, not only with prework by doing some tree mortality mitigation——
Sheriff Mims. ——but during that fire, they were able to cut some breaks that allowed us and law enforcement to evacuate over 20,000 people from these areas. And so they just did a great job, and I'm glad to report that, in Fresno County, we've had no loss of life.
Sheriff Mims. And I will say that, in Fresno County, we understand that we need a strong partnership with our Federal Government. And we are ready, willing, and able to be your partner on this. We support——
The President. And your State government. Right?
Sheriff Mims. Of course. Of course.
The President. That's going good, right?
Sheriff Mims. Of course. We're getting what we need.
The President. I have no doubt. Good.
Sheriff Mims. In fact——
The President. We had to mention that. [Laughter]
Sheriff Mims. Of the areas that we've mitigated, I think, in Fresno County, we've got five of those. So thank you.
The President. So you're working well with everybody.
Sheriff Mims. Yes. The President. Okay.
The President. Good. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Siskiyou County, CA, Supervisor Ray A. Haupt. Thank you, Mr. President, for—[inaudible]—on. Thank you, Mr. President, for being here and listening to a very rural community or—and county in California. I'm at the very—the far extreme end of the State up there that they were pointing to.
My county continues to repeat the things that you saw in Paradise when you were there, on a smaller scale. The town of Happy Camp, this year, is under the Slater Fire that took off. And in a 24-hour period, we lost 258 structures in a very small town. Half of my population is displaced. At this point in time, we have 158 homes completely destroyed.
The President. Will that population come back?
Supervisor Haupt. Sir, that's a tough question, because these are very poor people anyway. And they're living through the downturn of the timber economy at this point, and there's very low employment in this area.
We are completely surrounded by Federal timber at this point that needs some active forest management that would both improve the economic—the economy of the area, as well as even increase the water flow that is in shortage in California, in some of these places. I've—you know, I personally, I come to you as a forester, an elected official, and a past land manager for the U.S. Forest Service, and firefighter.
Supervisor Haupt. In this area, I've worked with the UC Berkeley and UC Davis—and UC Merced on some studies. Our forests in the northern region, which historically have been pretty asbestos-like, are carrying four times the density that they did in 1930. So we have both the increase in brush in the wild-land interface, as well as the lack of management, producing these extreme densities.
And climate change is—and I can't do much about that. As a forester actively managing that forest, I can manipulate fuels, and I can do that in a pretty short order. I applaud you for the work you've done. I applaud you for the farm bill authorities. Our county just completed a master stewardship agreement with the U.S. Forest Service. And we have about a half-million-acre project that's ready to go across all boundaries in our State and——
Supervisor Haupt. ——the four national forests that you—within our boundaries.
The President. Well, Gavin is working on that with me. And we—you know, you make money too. You're cutting down trees. You're thinning it out, and you're selling those trees for a lot of money. And it's really pretty good in a lot of ways.
And I guess the—one of the things are the cuts. The big—whether it's 50 yards or 100 yards—but the cuts to stop it from spreading. And that's always tough environmentally, but you know, they can do it in a way that's pretty good. And I think now the environmentalists have come a long way after watch—you know, watching this.
Supervisor Haupt. Yes.
The President. The ones that really want to take care of a problem, they've come a long way. So they'll be thinning it out then. You're working on a plan to thin it out?
Supervisor Haupt. That's what the plan is right now. I will say that, you know, we have excellent working relationships with CAL FIRE as well.
Supervisor Haupt. And we need to marry the State programs with the Federal programs across boundaries and jurisdictional boundaries so that we're effective in moderating large-fire behavior.
Gov. Newsom. And, Mr. President, just to the supervisor's point, that's exactly what the stewardship partnership that we advanced with your administrations do—will do in the next 20 years——
Gov. Newsom. ——is, we're sharing maps, we're sharing resources, we're prioritizing, we're doubling the number of acres—federally managed, State-managed. And I will say just, humbly, we've got to double it still. Meaning, the partnership was significant. It was the first in California's history with the U.S. Government. But we're going to need to do a lot more in the extent——
The President. Yes. Well, I'm all for it.
Gov. Newsom. ——we could provide—[inaudible].
The President. That's something I feel so strongly about.
The President. You can knock this down to nothing. You know, you go to Europe and different places in Europe—countries where they're forest countries—and they're very, very strong on management, and they don't have a problem. They really don't have with, as they say, more explosive trees than we have in California.
So thank you very much for your comments. But we're working on that very hard together. And I think we're totally in sync. I really think we're totally in sync.
Secretary Crowfoot. Governor——
The President. We're going to see you in a few minutes for the award ceremony. So thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.
NOTE: The President spoke at 11:31 a.m. at California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) hangar at the Sacramento McClellan Airport. In his remarks, he referred to Distinguished Flying Cross awardees CW5 Joseph Rosamond, CW5 Kipp Goding, CW2 Brady Hlebain, CW2 Irvin Hernandez, CW1 Ge Xiong, Sgt. George Esquivel, Jr., and Sgt.

Miscellaneous Remarks


A candlelit ambience greeted parents to the first Singers Recital in several years. Performing were singers from Senior Girls Years 7-11 taught by Mrs Barter and Mrs Foster. The diverse programme included several first performances at a school concert, from Katie Rathbone and Isabel Ryan to established singers perfecting their technique.
Cassie Halpin treated the audience to a very confident performance of the postmodern jukebox version of 'All of me' and Cleo Sloggett sang 'I dreamed a dream' with real maturity. Other highlights included Jazzy Parr singing 'Wings' and Maddie Sparks singing a duet of 'Panis Angelicus' a piece she is preparing for her GCSE ensemble performance.


I was feeling a little smug with myself last weekend because I actually managed to visit all of the linked artists joining in with Paint Party Friday.
It's something that I've tried to do each week, but then life happens and I'm afraid I fail abysmally.
If you linked up after my visits, then I'm sorry I missed you... maybe I'll catch up with you this week.
So as my last post mentioned the rain finally spotted and we saw not only the sky, but some sun too.
The temperature has dropped and there is talk of possible snow... oh yes and as the weather presenters have mentioned (numerous times)... "we'll have minus double digits this weekend"!
This must be the latest buzz word in the meteorologists office, or from the office memo, because all the news presenters are using this new turn of phrase. We would normally be given the actual temperature ie -3 or -32 (ha) or whatever, but obviously we've moved into a new phase and this is the up to the minute phrase.
I decided to go back and revisit a previous design.
Here it is in more detail from my old journal.
But I've decided to draw this new one as an A3 design.
I used a uni-ball eye which is one of my favourites.
I do find these kind of drawings incredibly relaxing.
I can leave it at any time and also pop back at random times to carry on, which is perfect for me just now.
Before I go I must mention this gorgeous T2 Tiny Tin of Tea that arrived in the post recently.
Happy post... don't you just love it when surprises arrive.
I decided that today was the day that I would dive in (not literally) and try it out.
I must say that I've been intrigued since it's arrival, but you can't rush these things.
I have to say I loved the tin as soon as I saw it, even before it was opened to reveal the delight within.
A blossom opens up along with the green tea.
It's beyond fascinating to watch... I did video it, but it was a slow process and my available space is very tight, so I decided just to show you the still photo.
And that's before you even taste the peachy tea!
Well, now that I have my cuppa it's time to start visiting all of Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday blog.
Have a brilliant day and a wonderful weekend.

Rep. Duncan Hunter Tries Again to Obstruct 'DADT' Repeal with Amendment That Troops Don't Have to Approve of Gays
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), who was behind a spate of anti-gay amendments to the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" which were not approved, is trying again. The bill he has introduced this time actually seeks to ensure homophobia has a place in the U.S. military, and directly contradicts concerns about the repeal disrupting unit cohesion by introducing a measure that would do just that.
The language of the bill:
To amend Public Law 111-321 (Dont' Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010) to require that… members of the Armed Forces are not pressured to approve of another person's sexual conduct if that sexual conduct is contrary to the personal principles of the members.
The Army Times reports:
Essentially, this would mean that military people have to accept the presence of gays in the military but they would not have to like it, said an aide familiar with the legislation.
Hunter has tried several times to block or undermine repeal of the ban on open service by gays but has been blocked at every step by the Senate's refusal to take up any legislation modifying the repeal law.
There also is no guarantee that his new proposal would become law. Hunter might be able to get House leaders to schedule a vote on the legislation before Sept. 20, the day when the ban is scheduled to officially be lifted, but again, the Senate would be unlikely to take up the measure.
Hunter could introduce the bill as early as Sept. 7, when the House resumes work after the August recess.

Carter and West propel No. 12 WVU past Texas

(Photo credit: Kelsie LeRose, BGS)
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.–Jevon Carter and Lamont West combined for 47 points as No. 12 West Virginia University knocked off Texas 77-62 on Monday night.
Carter notched his third double-double of the season, scoring 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Mountaineers (22-6, 10-5 Big 12). West recorded a career-high 23 points on 6-of-8 shooting from 3-point range. Elijah Macon added 10 points.
Jarrett Allen led the Longhorns (10-18, 4-11) with 17 points and seven boards. Eric Davis Jr. had 14 points. Kerwin Roach Jr. added 13 and Andrew Jones 11.
However, the story of the evening happened right before halftime when WVU head coach Bob Huggins fell to his knees and clutched his chest during a timeout. According to the fiery but beloved coach, he claimed he got light headed from standing up too quickly and his defibrillator went off.
Huggins suffered a heart attack at an airport in 2002 while coaching at Cincinnati.
Lamont West for three. West scored 23 points 18 points from 3-point range during WVU's 77-62 win over Texas on Monday, February 20, 2017.
Texas started the game with a 12-2 run but the Mountaineers rallied behind West's hot-hand with a 21-3 run to take control. The freshman scored 20 points in the first half.
"Well, we watched film for half an hour today and then we were on the floor for maybe an hour," Huggins said. "Then Lamont was out there for another hour and a half. I walked in two hours before the game and he was one of three guys down there shooting the ball. That just goes to my theory. If you are in the gym and you work at it, Billy (Hahn) says it's the Basketball Gods, if you cheat the game the Basketball Gods catch up to you."
WVU led 46-32 at the break.
The Mountaineers' bench bench outscored the Longhorns' 36-5.

WVU shot 46 percent from the field and 85 percent from the free throw line. The Mountaineers made 10-of-24 from beyond the arc.
Texas shot 45 percent from the floor, 23 percent from 3-point land and 75 percent from the line.
Esa Ahmad missed the game with back spasms and is listed as day-to-day.

I am officially a Oiselle ambassador!
Oiselle makes extraordinary running clothes for women. The design is clean, sporty and modern. There are no boring paisleys, hoaky florals or in-your-face street rat prints. The colors are imaginative but tasteful. They don't just recycle the tired formula of black, bluish and pinkish season after season. The fit is streamlined and not size-inflated. And the performance is top-notch. But what I love most about Oiselle is that they are the labor of love of a small but mighty group of women runners in Seattle who believe women should be able to wear what they love when they run. And based on their Twitter feeds and Facebook page, they have an awfully fun time plying their trade.
I got turned onto Oiselle when I discovered their running tees. So much to love in a simple t-shirt! Oiselle's tees showcase the soul of the company and speak to women runners in a way that I've only seen from marketing behemoth Nike – except Oiselle would never be caught dead making a t-shirt like this.
Oiselle's motto is "go fast, take chances." While I can't represent fast like the some of the elite and ambassador runners on the team, I can represent the sense of daring that thrives in so many runners. That gumption that spurs runners to trot up that massive hill after staring at it, contemplating, "How bad could it be?" That desire to push beyond what's known. Those moments when we ask ourselves: "What if I turn that corner on this trail? Wonder if there'll be a view?" or "OK, I've run a 10K, what would it feel like to run a half marathon?" The chance we take when we decide to try running despite never having been active before. That's what my Oiselle racing singlet will stand for.
