Unemployment crisis for young people in London after the Covid pandemic
November 29, 2021 - by adminaws - Leave a Comment
The capital's youth unemployment has risen by 55 percent to 105,000 since the start of the pandemic with 21 percent of young people seeking work without work, a joint survey conducted by the Evening Standard and The Independent has revealed.
The figure is five times the national unemployment rate of 4.3 percent for all ages and is even higher among young women, with almost one in four of them aged 16 to 24 in London unemployed, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The situation here is by far the worst in the country, with the West Midlands the second most affected region with 15 per cent and Scotland at least nine per cent.
Most worrying is that 42 percent of unemployed youth nationwide have been unemployed for six months or more, with devastating consequences for their hopes and self-esteem.
These statistics reveal the failure of the government's £ 2 billion Kickstart scheme, launched in September 2020 to fund employers to get under-25 people on Universal Credit into minimum wage employment, but which has resulted in only 96,700 of the targeted 250,000 roles being filled.
The scheme was hampered by poor design, which initially kept small and medium-sized businesses from participating. Delayed changes failed to generate sufficient admission, resulting in a success rate of only 40 percent, and the scheme was to be completed in March 2022.
The rise in youth unemployment comes despite vacancies rising last month to a record nearly 1.2 million nationwide, leading to both a shortage of jobs and a surplus of jobs that coexist and point to a strong mismatch.
In a five-day study of the extent of young unemployment and its cost to society, we begin by focusing on two young people who worked before the pandemic but who have been unemployed ever since.
We talk to experts who reflect on the costs to society and individuals of the mismatch between the skills and experiences that young people deliver and those that bosses demand.
4,000 job applications, 7 interviews and zero answers
Paulo was thrilled. After diligently making up to 10 job applications a day for two years, he had finally cracked a conversation for an entry-level administrative position at a finance company – and as the conversation progressed, he noticed that his hopes rose. "My answers seemed to really hit the mark," Paulo said. "I thought, wow, after all that time, could this be it?" But as the questions rained in, Paulo became anxious and began to tumble. "I could feel the mood in the room change," he said. "My nervousness was a little discouraging."
The 23-year-old from Stratford, whose dream is to become a City Realtor like his father, never heard back. Not even a courtesy call. Despite estimating 4,000 job and apprenticeship applications over a two-year period prior to the pandemic, he secured only seven interviews. And no job. "Each application took me up to 90 minutes because I was always trying to shape myself for each position and think about it," he said. "You get an automatic response thanking you for your application, and in most cases you never hear a word. The seven interviews I was never told I had been rejected. There was no feedback. I was joking. You have no idea where you are going wrong. You can not imagine how hard it is to keep trying. "
The barren two-year race was broken in 2019 – albeit briefly – when Paulo had a breakthrough. He was hired by a restaurateur through the online job platform Coople to be a part-time waiter and bartender to work for £ 10 an hour at banquet venues across London, including the Waldorf Hotel and Twickenham Stadium. It was only two days a week, but eventually he made progress. But then Covid hit, and in August last year, the restaurateur said they had to let him go. Paulo again made job application after job application. "It destroys the soul," he said. "Two years of trial and error after I left university, and well over a year without work since Covid has left me completely empty."
"There was no feedback, I was joking," Paulo says

Paulo is one of 105,000 Londoners aged 16-24 who are registered as unemployed – and one of 24,000 young people who have suffered from the devastating effects of long-term unemployment.
In a week-long revelation of the problem starting today, we tell the stories of young people who have struggled to find work since the pandemic and address two critical questions: Why is the unemployment rate for young Londoners, at 21.3 percent, almost six times? higher than unemployment for 25-34 year olds? And why does it happen when vacancies have risen to a record nearly 1.2 million nationwide?
Steve Haines, spokesman for Impetus, a group that helps charities transform the lives of disadvantaged young people, said young people have borne the financial burden of the pandemic. "Young people with the least experience were the first to be fired. Later, when the vacancies opened up, they lacked the experience of putting them at the back of the queue and pointing to a competency mismatch between employers' demands and what young people have to offer. A significant proportion of unemployed young people need support before they have the necessary skills and self-confidence. "
Polly Hughes of City Gateway, an East London charity that supports hundreds of disadvantaged young people at work every year, said: "Young people have been caught in a perfect storm. To get a sustainable job, they need the right one. experience and competencies.It provides internships and apprenticeships, but almost 80 percent of newly started apprenticeships and internships were cut or paused due to Covid.As the labor market opened up, there has been increased competition for entry level roles with two years' worth of "Pupils and graduates are looking. Combined with older workers returning to the labor market, the impact is being pushed further down the chain. This is affecting most people with the least experience, no matter how talented they are."
Dr. Joe Marshall, executive director of the National Center for Universities and Business, said the unemployment statistics revealed "a mismatch between skills that stand in the way of the nation's recovery". It was predicted in 2019 by the Industrial Strategy Council, an independent government advisory group, which warned that "the skills mismatch is expected to worsen significantly" and that "government and individuals will all have a role to play in retraining and upgrading the existing workforce" , with math, english and digital and communication skills key.
Paulo is a good example. His problems started when he left school with below par GCSE grades in English and math that knocked out his dreams of a brokerage job. He said, "My grandmother died during my GCSEs. I missed an exam because I was so desperate. We were very close. I got Ds and Cs and below. Then I went to college to get a Btec in accounting, but I lost momentum and failed. " He grew up in a middle-income household where they were taught that hard work was rewarded, but five years ago his father's brokerage business collapsed, putting the family under pressure.
He said: "My father has not worked since. I would pull my weight like my siblings. I have three older brothers and sisters and they all have a decent job, but I have been the subject of constant failure."
He added: "I go online every day and I see lots of vacancies for entry-level jobs, but they demand graduates with years of experience. Even my friends who went to uni can not get proper jobs and feel lucky to work as a barista.
For Paulo, rebuilding his confidence has become a daily struggle. He said: "I felt very depressed. I never wanted to let anyone know because I did not want to burden anyone."
His goal is to get office-based work so he can learn transferable skills and build up, step by step, to work in the city. He said: "I have been working on myself to improve my verbal presentation and sounds more sophisticated. I have a conversation for an apprenticeship on the way. On that day I will tell myself that it will be okay but my hands will tell me it's going to be bad. " He laughed nervously. "I think I can do this. I so want to have a job and make my parents proud. Maybe this time.
Derry's story
Derry arrived at our meeting and looked sharp in a suit and tie.
"I have interviews for reception work at two four-star hotels, one at the Hilton in Angel and one at the Barbican," he declared. "My motto is be prepared."
The 29-year-old from Hackney has been unemployed since Covid resigned from his job as a restaurant manager, and he has made about 1,500 job applications in the last year – which resulted in zero interviews – so these two interviews represented a great opportunity.
"The problem is, you never get an answer," Derry says
/ Matt Writtle
But Covid was not the first time Derry's world had been changed. Nine years ago, after completing a two-year plumbing course, Derry followed his passion for working in the construction industry in his father's footsteps when he got a headache, was blacked out and woke up three days later at the National Hospital for Neurology and neurosurgery.
"I had a brain tumor. They took a biopsy and it was benign, but if it had gotten bigger, they thought it would be cancer, so I had to have radiation therapy, and the biopsy affected my balance and made me dizzy. It meant that I could no longer work on a construction site. "
While Derry was lying in bed recovering, he watched a lot of TV, especially the Food Channel. "My dad joked, 'You watch so many food shows you should become a chef.'"
When he was strong enough, he enrolled in a catering course at Hackney College and came out with an NVQ, where he got a job as a kitchen porter and commis chef for £ 11 an hour.
"It all went well, but because of my health history, I was told I should not work in a kitchen," he said. "My manager moved me to a job in the back office to sort reservations. I was there for four months, but then Covid hit, and because I was designated high-risk, I had to isolate myself. I was on leave for eight months, but the restaurant stalled. I have not worked since. "
Derry is worried about whether he will ever again find an employer who is as understanding as his last.
"My balance is about 10 percent affected, so new tasks may take a little longer to get hold of, but once I know how to do something, I'm a whiz. How do I find another job where they know me? and where do I feel valued? " Derry is looking for more than 30 jobs a week.
"The problem is, you never get an answer. After a while, you feel p ***** away. I have work experience, but I still do not cut through.
"I do not know where I'm wrong. I'm loyal and trustworthy, but until someone takes a chance on me, they do not know. My hope is that there will be two interviews. I just need someone to give give me a break so I can show them what I'm made of. "
Since our interview, Paulo and Derry have had contrasting fortunes. Paulo has received an apprenticeship as a business administrator at Hurak Education Services. Derry did not get a receptionist job.

Home March 2022 ECT Administered to 239 residents in 2020
ECT Administered to 239 residents in 2020
There were 300 programmes of ECT administered to 239 residents in approved centres in 2020, according to the latest report of the Mental Health Commission.
This compared to 395 programmes of ECT administered to 286 residents in 2019.
"The Administration of Electro-Convulsive Therapy in Approved Centres for the year 2020," said a programme of ECT may involve up to 12 individual treatments of ECT. The average number of treatments per programme was 7.8 in 2020, compared to 7.9 in 2019.
The rate of ECT programmes per resident was 1.3 programmes in 2020 and 1.4 programmes in 2019.
In 2020, 70% of residents who received ECT were administered one programme of ECT, a decrease from 73% in 2019.
A total of 2,329 individual treatments of ECT were administered in 2020, a 25% decrease in comparison to 2019 (3,124).
Fourteen approved centres (23%) provided an ECT service in 2020. A further five approved centres (8%) reported that they referred residents to another approved centre for ECT treatment in 2020.
The average age of all residents who were administered ECT was 62 years and the age range was 25 to 93 years.
Mood disorders (including depression) were reported as a diagnosis for 80% of residents who were administered ECT in 2020.
More females than males received ECT, at a ratio of approximately two-thirds to one-third respectively. The report said the higher ratio of female to male ECT recipients may reflect the relatively higher incidence of depressive illness in women as compared with men.
In 2020, 78% of residents had been admitted on a voluntary basis when they commenced their programme of ECT, compared to 82% in 2019.
In 2020, 81% of ECT treatments (1,881) were administered with consent, and 19% (442) were administered without consent. Five per cent of residents (16) withdrew consent during the course of their programme of ECT.
Following implementation of the Mental Health (Amendment) Act 2015, ECT may be administered to an involuntary patient without consent, only where it has been determined that the patient is unable to consent to the treatment.
Mood disorders (including depressive and manic disorders) were reported as a diagnosis for 80% of residents who were administered ECT in 2020, followed by 12% with a diagnosis of schizophrenic, schizotypal and delusional disorders (37). The least common diagnoses have been personality and behavioural disorders, and organic disorders. This is in keeping with other jurisdictions, as depressive disorders are the most common indication for ECT internationally.
Refractory to medication was the most common single indication for ECT, accounting for 64% of indications. Maintenance ECT and Rapid response required accounted for the second most common indications, at 13% each.
Improvement was reported as the outcome in 86% of programmes of ECT in 2020, lower than in 2019 (87%) and 2018 (92%).
Much Improved or Very much Improved was reported as the outcome for 72% of ECT programmes in 2020, 14% of respondents reported being Minimally Improved, 9% of programmes reported no change.
Programmes with a negative outcome of Minimally Worse, Much Worse or Very Much Worse accounted for only 1% of programmes in 2020.
In 2020, 77% of relevant services (those administering ECT to involuntary patients) were compliant with all aspects of the Rules Governing the Use of ECT, an increase from 61% compliance in 2019.
In 2020, 86% of relevant services were compliant with all aspects of the Code of Practice on the Use of ECT, an increase from 81% compliance in 2019.
The ECT Accreditation Scheme (ECTAS) was established in 2003 by the Royal College of Psychiatrists to support quality improvement of ECT clinics in both Ireland and the UK. The ECTAS standards have been developed for the purposes of review and accreditation of ECT centres. There is also a guide for new or developing ECT services (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2020 Three ECTAS-accredited centres in Ireland delivered 64% of ECT programmes in 2020.
While the MHC does not require approved centres to be ECTAS accredited in order to carry out ECT treatment, ECTAS is nevertheless recognised by the MHC as best practice, and all approved centres are encouraged to become ECTAS accredited in the future.
This report has been issued 12 years after the publication of the first annual Report on the Use of Electroconvulsive Therapy in Approved Centres in 2008 (2009).
Involuntary admissions have increased year-on-year from 2,004 to 2,463 over the twelve-year period, between the years 2008 and 2020, while total admissions have fallen considerably, from 20,752 at the highest in 2008 to 15,391 at the lowest in 2020.

ALLEN HILL – SATURDAY, 9/21/19 @ 11:30 AM
When Allen Hill, Houston's Minister of Fun, enters a room, he brings the party with him — particularly with his world-renowned Allen Oldies Band, which has been covering tunes from the '60s hit parade since 1996.
Now the unstoppable performer, whose ridiculously fun shows can run upward of five hours, is releasing his dream rock 'n' roll record, "All Over the Map," out Friday, September 6.
"I poured so much of myself into these tunes. It's a radical shift," says Hill, who sings and plays guitar, bass, piano, and surfboard on his debut solo disc. "Don't worry, I'm still all about OLDIES FOREVER, but I am also having a blast pursuing a different artistic direction."
Unlike the '60s platters of The Allen Oldies Band, the new album's 13 original tracks reflect a "1970s rock 'n' roll roadhouse groove." From the first single, the romping-and-rolling "2 Gigs and a 1 Way Ticket to Amsterdam," to the dancing shoes-ready "Fanny Pack," and the heartfelt "Fall Out of Love," the album offers an eclectic mix honed by decades of exploring diverse styles. Given Hill's musical history, the turn in direction makes sense.
Early on Allen, a voracious fan of The Who and other rock staples of '70s FM radio, fronted a "super high-octane classic rock band," whose setlist included tracks by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
"I learned a lot through that band — about how to treat older material," says Hill. "It was a key part of developing The Allen Oldies Band. When you sing songs that are part of people's lives you have to mean it."
Recording his own songs is unfamiliar territory for Hill, who has built his career playing hits popularized by others. "I've always loved performing great songs that move hips, heads, and hearts — whoever wrote them," he says. "It took 30-plus years of pursuing my craft to get to the moment of creation."
"2 Gigs and 1 Way Ticket to Amsterdam," the first single, out Friday, August 2, was inspired by his two-month trip to Europe in the summer 2018. "There was nothing on the schedule, other than the gigs and seeing The Rolling Stones in Berlin" he says. "It was a totally magical trip and super necessary."
He wrote the title and hook first. "Doug Sahm was great about writing tunes about cool locations — such as 'Mendocino' and 'Meet Me in Stockholm' — so I definitely jumped in with that approach," he says. "Once I banged out the chorus on the guitar, the rest of the sections fell into place."
You can't resist boogying to the exuberant "Fanny Pack," written in NOLA after a college pal's days-long birthday bash. "It's a back-to-school hit!" Hill declares. "It's preposterous and funny." And catchy too.
When it comes to teachers, Hill counts Sahm, Tommy Roe and The Who's John Entwistle among them, even though he never worked with any of them. "You can have people whom you don't know as your mentors," he says. "John was a huge influence on my playing bass. Roe sparked a love for sparkly pop songs."
"Sahm's influence was his spirit," says Hill, who does an annual tribute to Doug Sahm with his musical cohort David Beebe. "He played anything — jazz, tejano music, rock and roll. He was a musician's musician."
Hill has worked with many of the artists he admires as a back-up band. "I've learned so much about songwriting as part of The Allen Oldies Band and working with greats, like Chuck Berry, Archie Bell, Andre Williams, Wanda Jackson, Barbara Lynn and Roy Head, that I was finally ready to make the leap as an original artist" says Hill. Bell makes a guest appearance on the track, "Soul Travels." "When he was in the studio, I couldn't believe it."
He didn't have to leave his own Houston neighborhood to record "All Over the Map" — his friend and David Beebe's brother, Paul Beebe owns Beebe Gunn Studio, nearby. "It was a blast bringing in great buddies and players like Pete Gordon, aka Polish Pete, on piano, and Jason Barker from Banana Blender Surprise on lead guitar to make it a celebration of the friendships we've all made through rock and roll," says Hill. Banana Blender Surprise was a post-college, food-obsessed, original rock, blues, funk band that became a Texas cult fave. Other great buddies who play on the album include Eric C. Hughes, Landis Armstrong, and Jim Henkel from The Allen Oldies Band, vocal wizard Tomas Escalante, Felipe Galvan from Los Skarnales, and Matt Graham from Swimwear Department.
For more than two decades, The Allen Oldies Band has become a South by Southwest must-see. Since 2000, it's opened Mojo Nixon's annual daytime fest at the Continental Club, performing as fans scarfed down jalapeño pancakes at 9:30 a.m. In 2005, The Allen Oldies Band played a 5½-hour set at Maxwell's in Hoboken. "Allen Hill…a dervish in constant motion, working the crowd and testifying to the power of old-time rock 'n' roll to soothe your soul," wrote The New York Times.
For the last seven years, Hill's tooted the tuba with Polish Pete's Polka Band, which, during World Series fever in 2017, released the "The Altuve Polka," to honor the Houston Astros' MVP second baseman Jose Altuve. After the Astros won the championship, more than one million polka-loving fans partied — and polka'd — to the song as the band played it from a float in the victory parade.
Hill isn't just flipping the switch in music. After decades of playing surf tunes, he's actually taken up surfing, as referenced in "Surfer's Sunset," taking lessons in Galveston, Texas.
"What's the feeling of surfing and catching the last wave out?" he asks. "If you do it right, you get to ride on top of the world and how awesome is that?"

Bollywood Film industry no longer laughing stock: Ratna Pathak Shah
Veteran entertainer Ratna Pathak Shah accepts the Hindi entertainment world is done producing "trash" for the sake of motion pictures and says it is consistently walking on the way to carry worldwide magnificence with its work.
The entertainer, a phase and screen sturdy, said the Indian entertainment world's development is running corresponding to the clear defeat of the film from the West.
The appearance of new creators and the fortitude to recount more daring stories conveys with itself the guarantee of placing Indian film at the center of attention, Shah said.
"We were truly absurd, today we are not. Today, we view ourselves pretentiously and ideally the world will as well. We haven't arrived at this point, we are as yet battling with numerous things, however we are on the way. Down the line, the world should consider us. "We will concoct shows, films, that will shout out, standup for themselves. Not in the specialty, but rather in the standard (space). Our second will come. We likewise turned out to be situated well, since check out the trash the West is putting out as far as movies!" the entertainer told PTI.
Yet, the current period of Indian film, the 64-year-old entertainer said, is hard acquired.
Shah, who has been a piece of the absolute most acclaimed movies of late occasions, including Kapoor and Sons, Lipstick Under My Burkha and Thappad, said the entertainment world legitimately merited analysis for carrying out average substance before.
The explanation, Shah said, was the business' aggregate dependence on 'downplaying' everything, which was reflected in its films.
When inquired as to whether it harms her when individuals take a gander at media outlets with scorn, considering it a danger and scrutinizing its obvious absence of significant worth, the veteran said it "torments her" since it is consistent with a 'specific degree'.
"We have downplayed everything. Up to this point, our movies were about the most insignificant things, trash that we could see. Obviously not all, but rather out of the huge number of movies we delivered 800 or something–perhaps just eight were something that would endure over the extreme long haul.
"That is a pitiful division. We merited that member, that we should be peered downward on. The business was peered downward on, halfway obviously, (in light of the fact that) it was highbrow character of the most exceedingly terrible kind. That anything well known is so 'downmarket,'" she added.
The entertainer, who highlighted in acclaimed films like Mandi and Mirch Masala during the 80s and cherished TV shows like Idhar Udhar and Sarabhai versus Sarabhai, presently needs to be a piece of the developing account and end up parts which challenge her as an artiste.
There is a desperation in her to plunge profound into characters which go past the surface in investigating different shades of ladies, she added.
"What I might want to play now, I surmise, is the more outrageous edges of human experience. I've never played an alcoholic, I have never played a simple-minded individual or a truly upsetting individual.
"Those are portions of me too. I couldn't want anything more than to investigate what I can resemble when I'm truly mean. Also I don't mean adorable mean like Maya Sarabhai," Shah said.
The entertainer said sadly when journalists think of misguided characters for ladies, they make them like 'mean men'.
"I got a section where I should be the scoundrel. Yet, she was doing all that Amrish Puri had at any point done. I might want to be mean, however not in such a cliché way. Ladies can be mean in an exceptionally uncommon manner, we needn't bother with assistance from men," she added.
Shah as of late featured in Hum Do Hamare Do and will be next seen in Jayeshbhai Jordaar, highlighting Ranveer Singh.

Michigan resumes action at streaking UCF

Both Michigan and Central Florida are in good shape in the NET rankings at this point of the season, but Thursday will provide quite an opportunity for each squad to earn a big boost in those rankings.
When Michigan visits Central Florida for an evening tip in Orlando, the game will present each side an opportunity to earn its first Quad 1 win of the season, since Michigan was No. 34 as of Wednesday in the NET rankings, while Central Florida was No. 50.
Michigan is returning from a lengthy layoff due to the holiday break and COVID-19 issues. The Wolverines haven't played since they blasted Southern Utah 87-50 on Dec. 18.
A game scheduled on Dec. 21 against Purdue Fort Wayne was canceled for COVID-19 reasons.
Despite being relatively high in the NET rankings, the Wolverines (7-4) haven't had the start to the season they had hoped for, but see the performance against Southern Utah as a catalyst to better things against Central Florida and beyond.
Michigan head coach Juwan Howard said he noticed a difference in his team during practice prior to the Southern Utah game.
"They came in with a lot of energy," Howard said. "They were razor sharp with their focus. Nobody came in with their head down. Everyone had their eyes open and ears perking and (was saying), 'Hey, let's fix it.'"
Central Florida is off to an 8-2 start and will be playing its first game since Dec. 22, when they beat North Alabama at home, 75-64.
The Knights are seeking their fifth straight win.
"I like our team," UCF head coach Johnny Dawkins said. "I think we can compete against anyone. We have to keep getting better. Like most teams, we definitely are not a finished product right now. It's still early. We're one-third through our season. I think there's a lot of room for improvement in our team. I see it in them, and we have to try and get that out of them."

Supatight to play every first Friday at Murphy's Pub
The Appalachian Online
Molly Flinchum
Starting Sept. 4, Supatight will play the first Friday of every month at Murphy's Restaurant & Pub.
Supatight is a North Carolina funk band that hails from Asheville.
And although the deal is new, the band has actually been playing at Murphy's for four years.
"We get to see them get better and better," said John Rush, Murphy's talent buyer and promoter. "They've become friends over the past few years and they've drawn a lot of attention around here."
While focusing on funk, the band is always integrating many different genres into their sound such as reggae and jazz, said founder Mikey Domanico.
"We tap into a bunch of different stuff," Domanico said. "We don't take it too seriously, don't strive for a particular sound or anything. We want people to enjoy themselves. We want to take people outside of the music they normally listen to."
Domanico, an Appalachian State graduate and guitar player for the band, founded Supatight with high school friend and vocalist Tyler Mack. The original band went to different colleges and played at different schools.
When Mack and Domanico moved to Boone, they added band members and ASU students Matt Powers and Will Miller, Domanico said.
Whit Barnes, a former ASU student who is taking a semester off, has been a huge fan of the band.
"I watched them when I attended school and I like that they play at Murphy's — it's a different venue from everywhere else in town," he said.
Barnes says he imagines that the new contract should increase revenue at Murphy's.
The band is currently mapping out songs and hunting for a studio to begin recording and hope to have a new album out by the beginning of next year.

If you're not using Pinterest yet to promote your handmade business, get more traffic to your store, and sell more of your beautiful products then we definitely need to talk! Here are the top five reasons why you need to start using Pinterest to promote your handmade shop.
The first thing about Pinterest is that it is not just a social media platform. It's actually much more powerful than that because it works exactly like a search engine. Pinterest is a very visual platform where people go in, type in a few keywords about what are they looking for, and the results show up as images. Each of these images has a link linked to it.
Meaning that if someone sees a picture they like, they can click on it and they can be taken directly to your online store where they can purchase or learn more about your products.
But the best part is that your content is actually there to stay. Meaning that not only can people use Pinterest as a tool to search products that they'd like to purchase, but it also doesn't matter whether you uploaded a pin six months ago, two years ago or yesterday because unlike on Instagram or Facebook, even if your pin was uploaded six months ago it might still be generating traffic to your store today.
As long as people keep on pinning it to their own boards you'll get traffic from it and you can still generate sales and revenue from that one pin that you posted to your Pinterest account months or even years ago. And that my friend, is very powerful.
Secondly, Pinterest drives tons of traffic. Shopify and Pinterest partnered to look at some actual numbers and their findings were positively surprising. They found that Pinterest was a major driver of online traffic. It's actually the number two overall source of all social media traffic to Shopify stores.
Two million people pin product pins every single day!
And it gets even better because Pinterest is not only able to drive a lot of traffic to your online store, but it is also convert your shop visitors into customers really well.
Meaning that they go into Pinterest with the actual intention to buy something.
Pinterest also wants to help business accounts sell more products and they've done that with a handy feature called Rich Pins. A Rich Pin looks like a regular pin but you can only use them if you have a business account on Pinterest, which is completely free. It allows you to put more information about your product and your brand in the pin including stock and prices. Meaning that your Pinterest users can get all the information they need directly on Pinterest board and then decide to click your direct link, visit your shop, and purchase your product! It makes it quicker and easier for a Pinterest user to translate into a sale than it would be on ANY other social platform.
Finally, Pinterest isn't time-consuming…if you don't want it to be!
Pinterest doesn't work the same way as regular social platforms because it is a search engine.
You can automate Pinterest so that you work no more than half an hour a week on it as long as you take some time the first time to set everything up and make sure everything is automated properly. After that, it really isn't a very time-consuming task to use Pinterest to get more traffic and more sales to your online shop. And how important it saving time, right?!
You can use tools such as Board Booster to automate your pinning, put your pins on loop, create campaigns and post your pins to group boards. All of this is au-to-ma-tic and would take less than 30 minutes a week. This is not like one of those things where experts say "automate your Facebook marketing" and you still end up having to create all the content every week and thinking about new post every day… Pinterest doesn't work the same way! You can fully automate it and scale your strategies to a degree that you wouldn't be able to have on something like Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.
5 – no followers? no problem!
Since Pinterest isn't a social platform but more of a search engine, you don't actually need to have a lot of followers for your content to be seen.
This is great when you're just getting started and very different from how you would approach Facebook or Twitter marketing because on Pinterest people actually find your product through search and keywords and they don't have to actually follow you and your Pinterest account to see your pins, interact with them, repin them, and click on your links. So it's a great tool if you're just getting started.
You can also use group boards, which is a great way to leverage the followers of other brands and other influencers to show your pin to a broader audience when you don't have a big following yet.
Here is a link to a workshop just on that where I dive into the basics of Pinterest for makers and handmade shop owners. If you want to learn more about Pinterest marketing I highly recommend you check it out.
These are great tips. Thanks so much, Deb!
Thank you Kathy, I am glad you liked it!

est un genre d'insectes hyménoptères de la famille des Apidae.

Selon certains auteurs, Tetralonia appartient aussi à la sous-famille des Apinae et à la tribu des Eucerini. Selon d'autres auteurs, Tetralonia serait un sous-genre du genre Eucera.

Présentation
Tetralonia fait partie de la famille des abeilles à longues langues. Le genre a une distribution presque cosmopolite, sur tous les continents à l'exception de l'Australie et de l'Antarctique.

Selon des études phylogénétiques récentes, ce genre est placé comme un sous-genre d'Eucera.

Cependant, il est toujours considéré par divers auteurs comme un genre distinct. D'autres auteurs placent également les espèces qui sont autrement comptées comme faisant partie de Tetraloniella dans ce genre. Les espèces appartenant à Tetralonia (et Tetraloniella) diffèrent des autres espèces du genre Eucera en ce qu'elles ont trois cellules cubitales (Eucera s. Str. Deux cellules cubitales).

Près de vingt espèces de Tetralonia (toutes de l'Ancien Monde) ont été décrites dans le monde.

En Europe centrale, il n'y a qu'une seule espèce, l'abeille mauve longicorne, Tetralonia macroglossa = Tetralonia malvae = Eucera macroglossa (nom valide). Il se produit en Allemagne (Kyffhäuser, Markt Hohenwart, Griesheim) [6] et en Autriche (Burgenland, Basse-Autriche, Styrie), de Suisse il n'y a que des preuves historiques.

Vama este o formație românească de muzică pop-rock, înființată în anul 2006, în urma destrămării trupei Vama Veche. Primul album al trupei a fost lansat în 2008 și poartă același nume cu cel al trupei, iar cel de-al doilea album este intitulat "2012", datorită anului în care a fost lansat. În 2017 au lansat albumul Better, primul album în limba engleză al trupei.

Formația a fost fondată în 2006 de Tudor Chirilă și Eugen Caminschi, vocalistul și chitaristul formației Vama Veche, cărora li s-au alăturat Lucian Cioargă (tobe), Dan Opriș (bass) și Raul Kusak (clape), cel din urmă fiind înlocuit în 2009 cu Gelu Ionescu. În 2007 apare primul single - Bed for love.

Activitate

2007–2011: Vama
Primul album al trupei, cu nume omonim, a aparut in 2008 lasi a fost lansat printr-un concert la Arenele Romane din Bucuresti . Cu single-uri ca E plin de fete, Pe sârmă, Suflet normal și Bed For Love, VAMA își conturează stilul muzical în noua componență.

Discul a avut parte de o lansare inedită prin SMS, prima de acest fel din România. În urma unui SMS, au primit un cod care le-a permis să descarce albumul direct de pe site-ul www.vamamusic.ro.

2012–2015: Albumul 2012 și Perfect fără tine
Următorul album, "2012", se lansează pe 28 mai 2012 la Sala Palatului, din București . Printre cele mai cunoscute piese de pe album sunt Copilul care aleargă către mare, Fata în boxeri și în tricoul alb, Post iubire, Cântec de găsit. Înainte de asta, Tudor Chirilă scrie scenariul videoclipului Copilul care aleargă către mare, pe care îl și regizează. În rolul regelui îl distribuie pe maestrul Victor Rebengiuc, aflat la prima apariție într-un clip muzical. Pe 17 decembrie 2013, trupa a lansat primul DVD - "2012", cu înregistrarea show-ului de la Sala Palatului.

După o perioadă de absență pe posturile de TV și radio, VAMA revine în atenția publicului pe 1 mai 2013 prin lansarea melodiei Perfect fără tine, melodie care devine rapid imnul acelei veri. În aceeași toamnă, VAMA lansează cu Guess Who single-ul Zile fericite, pe care Tudor Chirilă îl descrie a fi "o meditație la nostalgia pe care copilăria ne-o transmite de multe ori și, cumva, la ideea că ajungem la o maturitate care ne face să regretăm copilăria, dar nu cred că ar trebui pentru că întotdeauna există posibilitatea să o refaci."

2016–prezent: Albumul Better și concerte prin Europa
Pe 12 mai 2016, Vama a lansat single-ul Memories Now, primul single de pe al treilea album al lor, Better.

În vara anului 2016, VAMA a colaborat cu Pepsi pentru o campanie inedită. În timpul unui concert din București, Tudor Chirilă s-a oprit din cântat piesa "Vara Asta" și le-a spus celor prezenți la eveniment că restul concertului va fi continuat în Vama Veche. Afară așteptau trei autocare care au dus 150 de persoane în Vamă. La ora 04:00 au ajuns la mare, trupa a continuat concertul și la 06:00, după răsărit, toată lumea s-a întors la București.

La 1 septembrie 2017, în cadrul unui show la Sala Polivalentă ,  Better a fost lansat. Albumul este primul disc în limba engleză al trupei, fiind înregistrat în Marea Britanie, în colaborare cu producătorul englez James Lewis.

Albumul a fost promovat prin diverse concerte atât în țară, cât și în diferite cluburi și festivaluri europene. În România, Untold, Neversea și Afterhills au fost pe lista evenimentelor în care Better s-a auzit live.

În Europa, VAMA a avut ocazia de a-și prezenta noile materiale muzicale în Marea Britanie, Cehia, Suedia și Germania. Concertul din Hamburg s-a desfășurat în cadrul celui mai mare festival de tip showcase din Europa, Reeperbahn.

Albume

Problemele legale
În perioada 2008 – 2010 a existat un proces privind drepturile de autor asupra pieselor trupei Vama Veche, pe care Tudor Chirilă nu avea voie sa le interpreteze în concerte fără acordul foștilor colegi (actualmente Trupa Veche), încheiat amiabil între cele două părți, care au hotărât ca atât Trupa Veche cât și Vama pot folosi repertoriul.

I've been trying to reproduce it on my target and I'm observing no difference between having nothing connected to the measurement port and having my wire connected. LNA set to high with max gain. I'm wondering if wire length is an issue. I'm using a 36awg wire with 7 wraps. Then I made a twisted pair with a ground wire. The tail of the wire is about 20cm to reach the cwlite comfortably but I'm afraid it's too long and the signal gets degraded. What is the optimal max length? Any tips to get the cw to reach?
Also the decoupling capacitor I chose is a 0402 1uF which seems to bypass 10-100MHz correctly. My device is running at 36MHz. However, I'm unsure of the material of the cap–should I replace it with something known? Would that make a great difference?
Also any advice to check that you're getting a good signal? I've been collecting 100 traces and averaging it using cwanalysis and observing a straight line which means I'm just getting noise.
Hi, Yifan. I am now working on redoing your attack on PSV. while searching for any tips for hardware setup, I reached to your thread. I think you did have solve this problem in your research. Would you please release a little more detailed hardware setup of your attack ?
BTW, i went through your git repository, I did not find the eagle project of psvcw board which was mentioned in your DFA article.


In late 2012 the freelance American photographer Matthew Schrier was heading out of Syria after a stint of work when his taxi was stopped. Suddenly he found himself bundled out by armed men into seven months of captivity. This rollicking and gripping account of his time in detention is an insight into what happens to humans when they are deprived of their freedom.
Schrier is a cocksure New Yorker whose childhood "reign of terror" saw him secure 60 days in a county jail for robbing houses. Although Syria was by no means at "peak chaos" in 2012, it is still a strange place to find Schrier, who had no Arabic language skills, institutional support, or any real knowledge of the country.
Although he was transferred between locations in and around Aleppo it was apparent that his primary captors were the Al-Qaeda linked group the Nusra Front. Rather than being executed on camera in an orange jumpsuit, something that ISIS would later become a household name for, Schrier is drained of his bank account by his captors who see him as an asset with an undefined value.
As a Jewish American, Schrier is more than aware of his need to think on his feet in order to survive. He does this through a reliance on confidence, humor, and empathy. He nicknames his guards and seeks human connections. Humor is not just a copping mechanism but a way of bridging cultures and protecting himself against the random acts of torture and beatings that come his way.
It is important to note that Schrier experiences nothing like the level of torture and deprivation of so many Syrians that have disappeared into the prisons of the Regime or other armed groups. His ability to secure allies allows him to accrue blankets and occasionally secure more preferential treatment than others around him. Schrier also avoids any sustained period of isolation, instead being held with regime soldiers or paramilitaries and most importantly with another American by the name of Theo.
The relationship between these two Americans defines much of the book. They are substantially different characters; while Schrier is an extrovert, Theo is introverted and spends much of his time in captivity hiding under his blankets. Theirs is an awkward buddy story in many respects. While Schrier looks to find any opportunity to work out, Theo spends time naming his bedbugs.
Schrier spends a lot of time explaining the practicalities of food and toilet visits—all part of his effort to maintain his humanity in the face of such oppressive conditions. He describes his world as "Lord of the Flies, only instead of being armed with spears and bows, they had AK-47s and RPGs." To kill time Schrier would look to recite entire movies and play homemade chess or various forms of volleyball.
Schrier admits that the experience has made him "stronger" and the story of his escape is particularly thrilling. It is a shame that longer is not spent on telling the story of his homecoming. Apparently, the FBI suspected he may have been recruiting by extremist groups so there was no flag waving homecoming parade. Schrier has now found himself giving motivational talks to the U.S. army, and this book is surely going to sell lots of copies at signings.

H3 Polo Passion win narrowly in a heart-stopping final of the Summer Cup
by Mag. Margit Kotrosits
Magnificent scenery with a castle bathed in sunlight, fields that could not have been prepared better, exemplary Austrian hospitality with a romantic bonfire within the boundaries of the colonnaded temple in the park; all this followed by a traditional Austrian barbecue featuring brass music and most importantly, the exciting polo games with players and ponies in their top form – this is what characterises the Summer Cup in Ebreichsdorf. A traditional tournament that takes place in the first two weeks of July has long established its position in the calendar; with eight teams competing every year, it has again proven its unbreakable popularity.
The prosperous Summer Cup found its winner after a heart-stopping final game – Julia Hiebeler and her team H3 Polo Passion confirmed their position as top players after a match against Renate Seidler's team. An encounter that had taken place for the second time – on the first day of the qualifications, Renate Seidler's triumph was clear, yet the day of the final game, and indeed the last minutes, brought about a change in fate – a happy ending for the German team.
The final day was also the day of an accordant end for the Power Horse team whose captain, Walter Scherb, gained valuable experience through playing with Robert Kofler and Martin Bleier – a preparation for the upcoming European Championships. The third place in the Subsidiary Cup against the Slovakia team was of least concern (8:4,5); however, this was an example of significantly better teamwork in the game.
Eva Brühl, one of the first members of the Polo Club Schloss in Ebreichsdorf went back to her roots, as it was here where her passion for polo started. One witnessed her very emotional reunion with the host and president Richard Drasche, who drew everybody's attention to the remarkable level she achieved meanwhile – this could be seen in her final game of the Subsidiary Cup alongside Eva Marquard, Jürgen Kargen and Pedro Fernandez Llorente. The team from Niederweiden Polo Club had to acknowledge themselves beaten by the Los Doctores team (4,5:7).
Leon Hauptmann, one of the talented young players from the Ebreichsdorf Polo Club missed his entry to the finals only by a narrow margin due to an unfavourable difference in the number of goals against Renate Seidler's team. Also the game for the third place could be singled out for its emotional and thrilling value. The team from Ebreichsdorf led by unparalleled Santiago Marambio only lost in the last twenty seconds of the closing chukker when Abel Flamenco scored the ultimate goal – (5:6); Chateau Nine Peaks were on a streak that day.
An extraordinary final was awaited, and indeed, the high class, electrifying game met everyone's expectations. Federico Rooney from H3 Polo Passion was outstandingly effective from the first minute, similarly to Julia Hiebeler, who impressively outperformed her -1 handicap. Felu Beguerie with his 'Best Playing Pony' named Chocolate, Nacho Brunetti, Joe Reinhard and the team captain, Renate Seidler fought unbroken. The excitement in the air was nearly tangible. The last minutes seemed to have stretched endlessly. It was precisely the extraordinary intensity and speed present in the game that fascinates people and continues to draw crowds.
With the final result of 8:7,5, H3 Polo Passion became the victors of the Summer Cup. Renate Seidler, a proud finalist, was awarded the title of "Fair Player", while the title of "Most Valuable Player" added icing to Julia Hiebeler's already considerable achievement.

– Exploring acting methods and vocal techniques for business use
The Brighton Summit Blog
Exploring acting methods and vocal techniques for business use
During this year's Desire Hour at the Brighton Summit actor Michael Greco, a tutor at Brighton's Bird Studios, held a West End workshop which included exploring acting methods and vocal techniques for business use, and learning a song from Chicago.
Michael Greco trained at Guildford School of Acting in London. He played Beppe di Marco in EastEnders from 1998 to 2002. He also played Billy Flynn in the West End's Chicago.
In 1999 and 2000 Greco won the British Soap Award for the Sexiest Male for his role in EastEnders. Greco has recently moved back from Los Angeles where he appeared alongside Kevin Costner in the three-part film Hatfields & McCoys.
Brighton Chamber's Lead Ambassador and Managing Director of PR and marketing consultancy Chimera Communications, Jill Woolf, met up with Michael just after the Desire Hour, and chatted to him about how he had found working with business people instead of stage school students.
Jill: Thanks so much for taking part in the Summit today and for spending just a few moments with me after your session. I imagine it was very different having business people of all types, ages and experience in the room. Did you enjoy it and just how different was it?
Michael: I did really enjoy it because it's great working with people who aren't actually actors or teaching kids who want to become actors. That's a long process which takes years and years, and they gradually get better at it but today, with people who have 'normal' jobs, their enthusiasm was in abundance.
Jill: Tell me more.
Michael: The ideas delegates had to put into practice, for example just walking across the room, were challenging! It wasn't easy and I could see that. As Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage" and everyone has a little bit of showmanship in them, so they really enjoyed the session. Actually, we could have gone on for hours. They also lost their inhibitions quickly; they really just got stuck in. I spoke to them about, for example, being happy or being angry and they just went for it.
Jill: Did you pitch your workshop differently because it was for business people?
Michael: Yes. With actors, it's part of a process but with business people who don't want to become actors, I just took the first two or three principles of acting. There are around 200 and we only had an hour.
Jill: What were the three principles you covered?
Michael: The voice (which is the most important thing), breathing which of course incorporates the voice, and physicality as an actor – not just fitness but how you stand, walk and use your body to create a character.
Jill: So that means your presence, which is equally important to business people.
Michael: Absolutely.
Jill: How did you find the input and questions from the delegates compared to your normal students?
Michael: Actually there were very few. They were very attentive and I took the stage along with Mia [Mia Bird, founder of Bird Studios] and we covered so much that the hour went really quickly. As adults, it was almost as if they didn't want to miss out of anything and they really appreciated this opportunity, which was great.
Jill: I guess people were there as they'd chosen your workshop so they keen to soak up the information eagerly?
Michael: Yes, that's right! So different from some children.
Jill: Were there any takeaways for you today from being with them that have surprised you?
Michael: Yes, actually. It was interesting to be with adults instead of young people, those who have day-to-day jobs and lives, families and other jobs, and it was something new to them to discover how to breathe properly, how to walk, how to create a character. So what I learned from them through just the feedback I got, seeing their smiling faces, is just how much they were enjoying it! It was like being back at school for them and something different from their normal mundane jobs, so I learned that they appreciated it a lot more than kids do. Kids probably take it a lot more for granted and the adults knew that this was something different, especially hearing it from someone different – I've done TV, West End, lots of work over 25 years. They were a good audience.
Jill: What do you think they're going to take back to their businesses from this session?
Michael: I think they're going to take back probably being able to stand up in front of people with more vigour, with more positivity hopefully; being able to use their diaphragm, which is very important in breathing. If you get in a particular situation where you're shallow breathing, you need to be able to relax into your breathing so you can do whatever you need to next because as I said, breathing is everything and you've got to be able to take good, deep breaths in order to relax yourself.
Jill: That's particularly important for those who present in their business life. It's something which is covered in the training I and my team do for presentation and media training, but I'm sure it really meant a lot more having this experience with a professional actor.
Michael: Yes, it's so important to get an audience relaxed in the first few minutes of a presentation and have them eating out of your hand. That's when you get a better chance to get your business ideas across.
Jill: So can we expect a Summit production next year then?
Michael: For sure! Why not?!
Jill: It's been a delight to have you on board for the Summit. Thanks so much again.
It's been a brilliant day, I've learnt lots and met some really great people

Q: Value of an inverse trigonometric expression
If $p>q>0$ and $pr<-1<qr$ then find the value of $\arctan \dfrac{p-q}{1+pq}+ \arctan\dfrac{q-r}{1+qr}+\arctan\dfrac{r-p}{1+rp}$

Attempt:
Formula used:
$$\arctan p - \arctan q = \arctan\frac{p-q}{1+pq} $$ if $pq>-1$
$\implies \arctan p - \arctan q + \arctan q - \arctan r + \arctan\dfrac{r-p}{1+rp}$
Now, as $p>0$ and $pr<-1$  $\implies r<0$
Formula to be used now:
$$\arctan x - \arctan y = \pi + \arctan \dfrac{x- y}{1+xy}$$ if $x>0 , y< 0 ,xy<-1$
$\implies \arctan p - \arctan r - \arctan \dfrac{p-r}{1+rp}  $ $(as \arctan(-x)= -\arctan(x))$
$= \arctan p - \arctan r - (\pi +\arctan  p - \arctan r)$
$= -\pi$
But answer given in the book is $\pi$.
Is my approach incorrect? I am quite confident about it.

A: You were good until you substituted
$$\left(\pi+\tan^{-1}p-\tan^{-1}r\right)$$
for
$$\tan^{-1}\frac{p-r}{1+pr}$$
because you just showed a line above that that
$$\tan^{-1}\frac{p-r}{1+pr}=\tan^{-1}p-\tan^{-1}r-\pi$$
Also try it out on a calculator and you will see your mistake.

Today we're pleased to announce the release and availability of new nameplates for the Western Class 52 in both 4mm and 7mm scale. The nameplates for Western Enterprise include the Lion and Wheel crest which we are particularly pleased with.
This weekend we are at the Wigan show, where we will have all the new products as well as our regular ranges in stock.
Today we're pleased to show some of our recent etches in our nameplates and depot plaques range. These are all measured from the actual locomotive nameplates themselves as we pride ourselves in ensuring the products we sell are of the highest quality.
We've also just finished the complete range of depot plaques in 7mm scale. Whichever depot you wish to represent on your locomotive in either 7mm or 4mm scale, we are able to supply suitable plaques from stock. Like our nameplates above, these too have been measured from the actual depot plaques to ensure the accuracy and authenticity we strive for.
Today we're showing a selection of some the new nameplates into the range. We're really pleased with the quality and enthusiastic reception we've seen of these releases. Double click the image above to see a larger image, and come and see us at a show and have a look for yourself. To contact, or order from us, please don't forget to use the links on the right hand side of this page.
This coming weekend we are at Stafford, see you there!
We produce a wide range of nameplates and shed/depot/works plates in all of the three popular UK modelling scales, 2mm, 4mm and 7mm. Whilst the Shawplan range of nameplates will continue, we anticipate that as new plates are added to the range they will be supplied under the 'Extreme Etchings' brand. This will also be true for existing plates in the Shawplan range as they are photo re-tooled.
Most modellers are familiar with our nameplates and we also supply a range of etched accessories under the Shawplan brand name. These earlier products will in due course form a 'heritage' product line. We recognise their value for those starting out in the hobby who want to improve their models, and that the multi-layer approach and finer detail of the Extreme Etchings range will not be for everyone.

When we met in a cafe on campus, Shayan, a Pakistani international student, told me about his love of food. He revealed his secret dreams, which he called his 'realistic goal and the unrealistic one' – to become a food reviewer on YouTube, and to open an excellent steakhouse back in Pakistan. Good steak is rare in Pakistan, he tells me, despite meat being a big part of their food culture, particularly for the Muslim community of which he is part.

What global health systems taught me
Tabatha Parker's eyes were opened when she experienced foreign healthcare, where solutions mattered more than labels. It inspired her to found Natural Doctors International, and fight for similar practices in our own country.
"I have been working out of the country for nearly the past decade. I started an organization called Natural Doctors International and we worked in Nicaragua and still have an integrative clinic down there. That experience changed everything for me.
It just was a very different model that really was focused around public health and finding solutions for patients. It didn't matter what your title was. You were there, you wanted to help and what could you do. This organization is bringing together all of the professions on an equal level to really transform medicine and healthcare.
So I'm really excited to see that that movement is actually happening now here in the United States and it's bringing together some of the leaders across all of the major health fields. We're realizing as a nation that the systems we have around healthcare in particular, they're not working.
The only way for us to do this is together, unified, hand in hand, not just the providers, the patient, all of us. We all have to decide that we want a different world, that we want to different system. Come out and voice what you need and be a part of the change. We've got all the knowledge and all of the heart that we need to do that, so let's do it."
"The only way for us to do this is together, not just the providers, the patient, all of us" #IntegrativeWisdom
Dr. Tabatha Parker has dedicated her career to breaking down the boundaries to natural care, and spreading the practice to the areas of the world that need it most.


Iform Pro – This is the perfect quick audible to/from iform close as it will give us the ability to hit with quick inside runs in FB dive/ISO while also having one of my favorite passing plays in PA Draw shot which can bomb any coverage in the game besides a two man under. The ability to hit bench/PA Power O to attack the sidelines or PA post Shot/X Post to attack the middle of the field with either receiver or the tight end will make manning up from zone a complete headache.
Single back Dice Slot – Sleeper passing formation with the plays PA Flow attacking the middle of the field and also flooding zones to the left, PA Draw shot which will allow you to attack with a deep crossing route/ hi-low read over the middle of the field which also doesn't really get guarded by zone if they bite down with the user, PA Y-Corner will allow you to attack the sidelines on the right side of the field with a deep in route coming back over the middle of the field and Fade Smash will give you the ability to attack with the tight end as the primary crossing route to keep your opponent from simply manning him up with a defensive tackle which is a popular way to stop the tight end drags. Running game is pretty week but does have a HB Dive and a Power O.
Single back Wing Slot – Run game will consist of HB stretch, HB dive, counter weak while the passing game has some really nice passing plays in Inside Cross, PA Boot LT, PA FL Dive, TE Slot, U Drive Check, PA Fork and PA Post Shot. Another formation that allows you to run the ball semi-effectively and also be able to attack both sidelines along with the middle of the field. PA Post shot will have the glitchy crossing route that zones don't guard (Besides purples and a pass commit/inverted coverage), U Drive Check forces our opponent to respect the deep in/post combo along with the drags underneath. PA Fork/TE Spot will be our plays to attack the sideline with flat/corner routes. Inside Cross is a nice quick hike play along with PA FL Dive and PA Boot LT gives us a motion play to force our opponent to respect motion by the slot receiver.


While most people were clinging to their air conditioners, the Killington Softball League had games in the 90-plus degree heat. Not all games though. Apparently, it was too hot to play in Killington, but Bridgewater is where men play softball.

Laila Bocarro's bid to become Britain's Greatest Dancer has ended.
The youngster from Lower Road, Teynham, is part of the 13-strong dance group Prospects Fraternity, which was hoping to share a £50,000 prize and a slot on Strictly Come Dancing.
Despite a winning audition and making it through to the final eight, the team was knocked out of the BBC One live show on Saturday after a non-stop routine of urban dance and spectacular jumping set in a school classroom.
The street dance group, aged from 10 to 18, is based in Bermondsey, south London, and had been under the wing of American entertainer and dance coach Matthew Morrison.
This week Laila, 13, was back in her own classroom at The Abbey School, Faversham.
Proud mum Natasja Munden, 33, said: "They did incredibly well to get as far as they did and were the only street dance group to be selected.
"We were taking Laila to rehearsals three or four nights a week after school. They all worked amazingly hard. They are like a family."
Laila, who was wearing French plaits on TV, first became interested in dance at school and then joined Sittingbourne's ShakeThat Dance Academy where she represented Britain in Austria before winning an audition for Prospects Fraternity.
Dancers had to audition for The Greatest Dancer TV show in a Birmingham 'dance studio' in front of a giant mirror.
If they were successful, the mirror split in two to reveal dance coaches Matthew, former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl, Oti Mabuse and an audience.
After seeing the group perform, Matthew said: "Someone call the fire brigade because that was smokin'."
One of the group's members said: "When the mirror opened everyone was so happy, not just us dancers but our mums, too.
Mum Natasja said: "The TV show has given them good exposure but they are normally more 'underground'.
"They had to change their routine to make it more TV friendly and had to dance with school desks on Saturday.
"They had more daring moves they wanted to use but the producers said it could be too dangerous."
Laila's young brother Vinnie, 10, is following in his sister's dance shoes and is in Prospect Fraternity's junior squad.
The group was knocked out on the second live show from London by a viewers' vote despite scoring 95.5% from the audience for the second week running.
The show is presented by singer and former Strictly judge Alesha Dixon and Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo.

San Micheletto is a Baroque- style, now-deconsecrated Roman Catholic church located on a street of the same name in Lucca, region of Tuscany, Italy.

History
A church at the site was present since the 8th century, but the present 12th-century church was attached in the 15th century to a Clarissan monastery.

Further reconstruction occurred in the 18th century, a few Romanesque touches remain. In 2015, the convent houses the Fondazione Ragghianti, with its photographic and media archives and library.

Flynn sentencing move spurs questions about duration of Mueller probe
By Morgan Chalfant - 09/19/18 06:00 AM EDT
Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) Swan MuellerTop Republican considered Mueller subpoena to box in Democrats Kamala Harris says her Justice Dept would have 'no choice' but to prosecute Trump for obstruction Dem committees win new powers to investigate Trump MORE's request that a federal judge move forward with sentencing for Michael Flynn, President Trump Donald John TrumpCould Donald Trump and Boris Johnson be this generation's Reagan-Thatcher? Merkel backs Democratic congresswomen over Trump How China's currency manipulation cheats America on trade MORE's former national security adviser, has triggered new debate over the status of the special counsel's investigation and the value of Flynn's cooperation.
Some observers interpreted the move, which followed months of delays in Flynn's sentencing, as an indication that Mueller is unlikely to call Flynn to testify at any future trials that may arise from the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"It's a sign that, perhaps, Flynn may not be critical to other pieces of Mueller's investigation," said Ron Hosko, a former assistant director at the FBI.
But Hosko and others warned that while Mueller may be wrapping up with Flynn, the development should not be construed as a sign that Mueller is concluding his broader probe, which includes examining possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Moscow and whether the president obstructed justice.
"These are the types of moves a prosecutor makes when they are entering the final stage of an investigation or prosecution," said Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University. "What people have to be cautious about is that Mueller could be wrapping up aspects of his investigation while continuing to explore other aspects."
Mueller's request for Flynn's sentencing came days after he secured a key cooperator in Paul Manafort Paul John ManafortWebb: Questions for Robert Mueller Top Mueller prosecutor Zainab Ahmad joins law firm Gibson Dunn Russian oligarch's story could spell trouble for Team Mueller MORE, the onetime Trump campaign chairman who participated in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer that was predicated on obtaining damaging information on then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonPoll: Majority of Democratic voters happy with their choices among 2020 contenders No presidential candidate can unite the country GOP lawmakers speak out against 'send her back' chants MORE.
"The Mueller investigation is now so sprawling that it is dangerous to assume that shutting down one aspect will necessarily mean the end to all aspects of his investigation," said Turley, who is also an opinion contributor for The Hill.
Flynn pleaded guilty in December to one count of lying to FBI agents about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States and agreed to cooperate with Mueller's team, from submitting to interviews with government investigators to providing courthouse testimony.
From the start, Flynn has been viewed as a valuable witness in Mueller's investigation, given his prominent role on the campaign and brief tenure as national security adviser. Court filings show that Flynn communicated with senior members of Trump's transition team about his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about U.S. sanctions on Moscow.
Mueller had sought to delay Flynn's sentencing four times, a sign that as of late August his cooperation was still needed months after his guilty plea. Early on, there was speculation in conservative circles that Flynn's plea deal could be collapsing, with some alleging that Flynn had been set up by the FBI.
In a joint filing with Flynn's defense attorneys on Monday, Mueller's team requested that Judge Emmet D. Sullivan set Flynn's sentencing date for Nov. 28 or thereafter, a sign that Mueller has gotten all the information he needs from Flynn for the purposes of the investigation into Russian interference.
But some legal analysts downplayed Monday's action, noting that Mueller could still call Flynn to testify after he is sentenced.
"It's an insignificant development on the testimony front. I think if Mueller intended to call him, he's going to call him to testify," said Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor in D.C. "The one thing that it convinces me of is Flynn's investigative usefulness is over."
Prosecutors often will delay a defendant's sentencing until after their testimony in any pertinent cases, a move that provides leverage over the defendant and incentivizes them to testify to the best of their ability.
But because Flynn is likely to face a minimal sentence for his crime, some argue that it is unlikely that any testimony he makes in court would have a major impact on his sentencing.
"Flynn probably isn't going to go to jail," said Randall Eliason, a former assistant U.S. attorney in D.C. "There's not much reason to delay it, from either side's point of view."
Mueller's request is likely to set up the former Trump adviser, who has made few public appearances since his guilty plea, for a key court appearance just after the November midterm elections. It is possible that Flynn's sentencing could shed more light on his cooperation with the government, though Mueller's team could file documents under seal so as to shield the public from sensitive information about the investigation.
For the time being, the extent and nature of Flynn's cooperation remains shrouded in mystery.
Meanwhile, Trump and his allies are anxious for the probe to wrap up, and the developments with regard to Flynn are unlikely to alleviate frustrations at the White House.
"On one side for the White House, I think it's a recognition that Mueller and the special counsel's office are done with Flynn and likely the collusion question," said GOP strategist Ford O'Connell. "But the White House is still fuming because what you have here is an investigation in search of a crime."
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Flynn's crime carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of as much as $250,000, though the federal sentencing guidelines call for a prison term of between zero and six months and a fine of between $500 and $9,500.
Other Trump campaign associates, including Richard Gates and George PapadopoulosGeorge Demetrios PapadopoulosInquiry into origins of Russia investigation is a scam Trump accuses Democrats of crime amid rising calls for impeachment Comey: Trump peddling 'dumb lies' MORE, have pleaded guilty and cooperated in the investigation; Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison earlier this month.
Many observers view the developments in Flynn's case as a step forward in an investigation that has lasted 16 months so far. Still, Mueller has revealed little about his game plan beyond what is included in indictments and said in court appearances, offering few clues of where the broader investigation stands.
"There's an urgency to everything he's doing," said Hosko, who worked under Mueller when he was FBI director. "He's trying to get to the core truth of what his tasking has been, and I don't think speed is of the essence to him, though I believe it's fully on his mind."

Sales people, architects, and professional practice accountants are most in demand in Australia with opportunities likely to be around for years, as per the recruitment experts.
As per the latest Hays Quarterly reports of skills in demand, experienced professionals working in accountancy support, financial planning, health care, insurance, marketing and legal firms are also high in demand, and they are not expected to see demand wane any time soon.
Some of the highly skilled jobs are available for overseas workers who can get skilled visas, but the dept of immigration always advises candidates from other nation to check to avoid disappointment.
These professional are well placed to find and keep jobs. They do not need future proof for themselves as they have technical skills as well as experience. Employers would continue to need them in future years, said, MD Nick Deligiannis of Hays in New Zealand and Australia.
As per the report, we find there is a severe shortage of accountancy support for professionals, for example, high volume payroll officers. We find there is also demand for highly skilled accounts payable professionals, credit controllers, accounts clerks, receivable candidates and book keepers.
We find most territories, as well as territories, are reporting increasing demand for architecture skills.
