Founder Members
1950s - 1970
Llandudno is a resort town on the North Wales coast. . In 1952 a Mr. John Kidson arrived from Liverpool to work in the town. He was amazed to find that in this Welsh town there was no local Rugby Club. In a few months he had made enough friends in his new home town to form the first ever Llandudno Rugby Club, which commenced playing at the beginning of the 1952-53 Season with Mr. R.E. Williams the first ever Club Captain.
As the club had no ground in the town, all its games in its first season had to be played away. . In 1953 the nearby Conwy Football Club disbanded and it was suggested that the Rugby Club approach Conwy Corporation to take over the football ground on Conwy Morfa. These negotiations were successful and from the beginning of the 1953-54 season the Club were established on its first ground.
For the next three years the Club developed local interest in the game and at the same time Rugby was introduced at the town's John Bright Grammar School. A few years later there was a steady stream of players from the School (which continues up to the present), helping greatly with the development of the Club. The connection between John Bright's School and the Club is marked by the Annual Boxing Day game between the Old Boys and Llandudno 1 st XV.
In 1957 a fire destroyed the dressing rooms at the Morfa ground. This hastened the Club's departure to a ground provided by the then Llandudno Urban District Council founded on the Maesdu tip in the town. The Club continued to prosper for the next three seasons, and in 1959 were granted full membership of the Welsh Rugby Union. For the commencement of the 1961-62 season the Club moved to the present Maesdu Road recreational ground where it has been established ever since. After using several different hotels in the town (and there are lots of them!!) to entertain visiting teams after the games, the Club took over the old Sailing Club headquarters on Mostyn Broadway. Changing accommodation for visiting teams was always a problem and it was only as a result of the co-operation of the local Youth Club, John Bright's School and Llandudno Central School and the Club and it's visitors had anywhere to change at all.
A great deal of work was done over the next few years by Alan Jennings, Captain for eight consecutive seasons from 1959, and the return to the town of local GP, Dr Ian Wynne Hughes. These two stalwarts took the Club from strength to strength with the help of various hard working committees.
Over the years the playing strength continued to grow and the Club was regularly fielding a First and Second XV together with a Youth XV. Two players from the youth side, David Kyffin and Carl Moose went on to represent Welsh Secondary Schools at International level. In its short history, the Club has produced one Welsh "B' International, Chris Neville and members of the club have also represented North Wales at District level.
In 1976 the Club formed an Official 3rd XV calling themselves "The Cavaliers'. On 6 th November the Club officially fielded four full sides for the first time in its history when the first, second, youth and "The Cavaliers' all played.
In its history the Club have won the North Wales Championship on six occasions and the North Wales 7's four times. It was the first North Wales side to play and beat a touring New Zealand side, Waihou in 1989.
The 1990's have seen the Club playing in the Welsh National League for four seasons and seen success in the early rounds of the Swalec Cup, the Welsh Rugby Union Championship.
From 1998-99 season the Club began playing in the new Division 5 North of the Welsh National League. The Club has been granted a further thirty-year lease on the Maesdu Road ground and in November 1999 work began on the new changing facilities to replace the present ageing changing rooms on the site.
Under captain Jason Roberts, the 1st XV became North Wales Cup Winners in 2000( versus Wrexham Div 3) and 2001( versus Rhyl Div 5), all thanks to an exellent squad of players, who had built up great team spirit in previous years, not to mention a great scrum!.
The 1st XV were relegated to Div 2 in 2012/2013 after they lost a number of players but won that league in 2013/2014 and so will play in Div 1 North again in 2014/2015.

Most of the distracted driving accidents that took place in Montana and around the country over the last five years were caused by drivers who were daydreaming or lost in thought, according to a recent study from Erie Insurance. These findings contradict the prevailing narrative that the recent surge in distracted driving is largely due to cellphone use. Erie Insurance researchers produced their report, which was released at the beginning of Distracted Driving Awareness Month, after studying Fatality Analysis Reporting System data about accidents that claimed the lives of 172,000 road users.
On behalf of Towe & Fitzpatrick, PLLC posted in medical malpractice on Tuesday, April 3, 2018.
Misdiagnosis or a failure to diagnose a severe illness like cancer can be a significant fear for patients visiting the doctor or going to the hospital in Montana and across the country. There can be serious consequences of an incorrect diagnosis or other doctor error, because people can receive incorrect and potentially harmful treatment while lacking much-needed treatment for their actual disorder. This can lead to a declining health condition or even the possibility of the disease becoming untreatable. This means that for health institutions concerned about both liability and patient care, reducing diagnostic errors is a priority.

How to find and find your favorite online stores for your favorite apps
I've never tried a game on an iPhone, so I wasn't familiar with how the system works, but this game is pretty awesome.
The title is the "Coconut and Coconut," but the actual game is called "Coco Island" and it plays like a Disney game, but on an island.
This app uses your phone's GPS to determine where you are, and it will send you an email every time you visit a new island.
So, you can play, and then when you come back you'll see a coconuts floating on the ocean.
The app will ask you what you want to eat.
The coconubs will be a little bigger than usual, and you'll be able to pick them up and place them on your island.
You'll also be able take photos with your phone and send them to your friends.
The game is free, but you can get some extra in-app purchases.
For instance, you get to choose the color of the coconub that you want.
That color is chosen by the player.
In other words, you could buy a coco and coconut t-shirt and use the t-shirts to make coconut cakes.
The coconut cake t-shirts are $5 each, and the coconut cake is $8.
The Coconut Island app is $3.99.

Mason's Mailbag: Beyond the rules to the bylaws at the NFL Annual Meeting
Senior Digital Reporter
You can tweet questions to me with the hashtag #AskMase or use the submission form to your right (if you're viewing on a standard browser) or at the bottom of the page if you're on the mobile site.
I saw the rules-change proposals, but what about some of the bylaw proposals? Which ones could really have an impact?
-- Hal Smith
There are some interesting procedural proposals among the 12 that were submitted.
My personal favorite -- Bylaw Proposal No. 8 -- came from the Competition Committee, which proposes allowing coaches to use video on their Microsoft Surface tablets while on the sideline and in the coaches' booth during a game. Right now, teams can use the tablets, but are limited to still photos rather than being able to review video. This is an embrace of technology the NFL needs to make as part of the sport's continued evolution.
One proposal came from the Broncos. They want to allow teams to trade players on injured reserve. This makes sense in light of the recent liberalization of rules to allow teams to activate players from injured reserve during the season.
Another one is from Miami, which proposes an end to the rule that a non-vested veteran must pass through waivers before going to injured reserve during the preseason. The rule, as written right now, forces a player who is not yet a vested veteran (a player with four seasons of service) to go on waivers if he is to be placed on injured reserve before the final cut to 53 players. This often forces teams to carry a player on their preseason roster who isn't playing. Last year, for example, the Broncos could not place then-rookie wide receiver Carlos Henderson on injured reserve until the roster deadline, so they were effectively a man down on the 90-man roster. (The official reason for Miami's proposal is to "provide roster spots during the preseason.")
In 2010, the Broncos lost safety Josh Barrett when the Patriots claimed him off waivers when Denver tried to get him to injured reserve. If the Dolphins' proposal passes, that scenario would not happen again.
The 49ers, Cardinals and Chargers proposed that no team would have to play more than three of its eight road games with a kickoff time before 1 p.m. "in the time zone of their home stadium." This would reduce the potential number of early start times for Western teams, who historically struggle when forced to play games in the Eastern or Central time zones that begin at 10 a.m. PT.
The official reason of the proposal from these three teams reads like this:
"Current scheduling rules can result in a single team playing up to six away games with an inherent disadvantage while their divisional opponents may only have one such game. Playing in the early Sunday time slot after long travel reduces the win rate for the road team from 45.2% to 33.5%."
If passed, this could impact the Broncos as soon as the 2018 season. Denver could have four road games with early start times -- contests at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City and the New York Jets. This bylaw would ensure at least one of those was played at 2 p.m. Denver time or later, unless the Broncos gave their "consent" to one extra early kickoff. That "consent" clause is included in the proposal.
Finally, there is another notable proposal that would prevent something the Broncos did last year. In 2017, they placed OLB Shane Ray on injured reserve to open the season. With an eight-week minimum stay on injured reserve before being eligible for reactivation, that meant he could return after six games, since the team had a Week 5 bye and played its Week 8 game on Monday night in Kansas City -- the first full day after the eight-week period had passed.
Thus, the proposal from the Competition Committee changes the minimum time on injured reserve before being eligible to return to the active roster from eight weeks to eight games. It's a one-word alteration that could make a world of difference.
Offensive-line play was one of the Broncos' biggest issues last year; why have we not seen any moves to improve that area thus far?
-- Jason Heater
Jason, I saw that you asked this on March 18 ... sometimes you just have to be patient. There were few clear potential upgrades on the open market at right tackle, so the Broncos had to go the trade route to acquire Jared Veldheer on Friday. If the nine-year veteran can approach the form he had prior to his two season-ending injuries of the last two years, he will represent a clear upgrade -- and a sixth-round pick is a reasonable cost to try and find out whether he can get back there.
If Elway were in his prime and a free agent in 2018, what would be the going rate for his quarterback services?#AskMase
— Chris (@COBroncos) March 19, 2018
An in-his-playing-prime Elway would be worth at least $32 million a year on the free-agent market, given that he would already have multiple elite seasons and trips to the Super Bowl as a starting quarterback. However, I also expect that an in-his-prime Elway would never make it onto the open market, as the team that had him would cherish his presence and build its roster around his talents.
Hey Mase, kind of sad to see your hypocrisy. In a previous post, you told people to slow the hype train of calling for Chad Kelly to start at QB. Kind of sad reading that, especially after hearing you call for a new QB and calling Paxton Lynch a bust after four career starts. Maybe you should slow down the bust train, sir.**
-- Joshua Woodward
It's kind of sad to see someone attributing words to me that I did not say or write, as I did not use that word to describe Lynch. You must have me confused with someone else. I have simply advocated creating as many options at the quarterback position as possible and taking advantage of the fact that the Broncos have the No. 5 overall pick in a year blessed with unusual draft quality at quarterback.
To cite a successful example from another team, the Eagles had just signed Chase Daniel and traded for Sam Bradford in 2016, but that did not stop them from drafting Carson Wentz. That obviously worked out well.
SEND A QUESTION TO THE NEXT MAILBAG!
The analysis, opinion and speculation in this story represents that of the author, gathered through research and reporting, and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Denver Broncos organization.
Mason's Mailbag: A 'summer league' for the NFL?
The NFL doesn't have an offseason developmental league, but in a way, some preseason games serve the same function, giving players like WR Tim Patrick an opportunity.
Mason's Mailbag: Answering your questions about the Broncos Top 100
Let's break down some of the selections on the Broncos Top 100.
Mason's Mailbag: Don't forget about Alexander Johnson
When the pads go on, Johnson could have his best opportunity to make an impression in the scrum for playing time at inside linebacker.
Mason's Mailbag: Defining Noah Fant's expected production
Let's see what we can learn about Fant's rookie outlook from two decades' worth of first-round tight ends and what they did in their rookie seasons.
Mason's Mailbag: A look at the Broncos' special teams
Special Teams Coordinator Tom McMahon had punter Colby Wadman working on a specific aspect of punting during offseason work ... and some thoughts on a wide-open return competition.
Mason's Mailbag: A long-term comparison for Phillip Lindsay
Andrew Mason looks at how the career of former Pro Bowl running back Warrick Dunn offers a template that Lindsay could follow.
Mason's Mailbag: Gary Zimmerman a true Broncos Hall of Famer
Also, a statistic that shows why Steve Atwater should already be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Mason's Mailbag: New Broncos making a big impression
OLB Malik Reed is one of the young, under-the-radar players who have a chance to make an impact during OTAs and training camp.
Mason's Mailbag: Newest Broncos get crash course in NFL 101
Returning on-field work to rookie minicamp allowed Broncos rookies like Juwann Winfree and Joe Dineen to get a comprehensive view of what awaits them at the highest level of their sport.
Mason's Mailbag: Noah Fant was the right choice for many reasons
Not the least of which is his nose for the end zone, given how the Broncos have struggled to generate touchdowns from the tight end position in the last four seasons.
Mason's Mailbag: Drew Lock will get time to develop as backup
And as he pointed out when he talked about his pre-draft visit with the Broncos, he wants the insightful critiques from coaches that will make his game better.
Mason's Mailbag: Inside linebackers on the brain
As the 2019 NFL Draft nears, top inside linebackers such as LSU's Devin White and Michigan's Devin Bush Jr. are among the prospects on whom many Broncos fans have their eyes.

I've heard more and more people saying "A is N times less than B" in many contexts. I even saw in a news journal (forgot whether it was Time or Newsweek), "The object was 3 times closer than the moon".
I cannot bring my self to say this. It just seems wrong. If "2 times closer" or "5 times slower" mans "half as fast" or "a fifth as fast", then why not just say that? Besides to me it seems logically that "A is 5 times less than B" ought to mean "A = B - 5*A".
I also speak French, and the French say this all the time (in French and in English).
QUESTION. Has this horrible formulation become common place, and we just need to accept it and start using it? Or is it still regarded as ambiguous and should be avoided in scientific writing?
It looks like the usage of both has been pretty variable in the past. "Times fewer than" is rare but has had a bit of a renaissance in the last few decades. But it was more popular in the past.
There is thing called the "recency illusion" where people think that forms of language they dislike are being used more by "people today". (I seem to remember reading about a cuneiform book of grammar with an introduction saying that the author had written it because "people today no longer know how to use our language properly").
p.s. the meaning of "N times less than" is not intuitive to me, so I would never use it.
First, "A is 5 times less than B" does not mean "A = B - 5*A". That is never what a native speaker would think. "Times" is always multiplicative, so the amount of "less" is 5 times greater. "Less" can have a subtractive meaning, but it's much less common than being used as just a word of comparison (like "more"). As such, the multiplicative "times" is a much stronger meaning, and so when used together, "less" is never subtractive.
For example, "A is 10% less than B" means you should subtract 10% of B. If you say, "A is 10 times less than B," it means A is one tenth B. The "times" takes priority. Though for general comparisons, such as "A is less expensive than B", it also is just a simple comparison, not subtractive (and these are more common).
In English, saying something like "A is one fifth as fast as B" is more awkward than saying "A is five times slower than B." They are both correct, and both might be used for the same situation. Thinking in whole numbers is faster and more convenient, however, and is good for emphasizing the size of the difference.

This is my latest version.
My version is 5.0.21.18 I wish they would hurry up with an update too and bring it back to contact specific in your contacts like ringtones. I switched to Textra than I switched back. But am going to give Textra another try.
Does Samsung follow this do they not know how unhappy so many people are? I liked the old stye when I 1st bought my 7 edge where you had circle favorites at the top of the messaging app too. I'd like to see that brought back too! Come on Samsung listen to your customers. I had been a long time HTC fan since the 1st original EVO and than after the M9 which I should of never bougnt I went with the 7 Edge and than tried the Note 8 which was awesome just too big for me so I sold it and got the 9 plus. My husband still has his Note 8 and likes it.
The note's don't allow the individual tones either. They need to send out an update asap for the messages app for sure. I really hope someone monitors this, or they will lose quite a few cutomers. Samaung is my all time favorite.
No, they messed up the S8 and S8+. None of the messaging works as it did. And, after 178 pages of complaints concerning this issue alone, they seem to have ZERO interest in correcting the problem. Easy solution though. NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG PRODUCT! They don't care about our needs? We can care less about their sales. Reports just released show Q2 sales of the S9 models have tanked compared to Q1 sales, which were lackluster. I want to think that 178 pages of complaints by this commumnity have some affect on that. They won't take care of their legacy customers, they won't have future customers. For ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS!.
Well, I wouldn't go THAT far. I'm still Samsung 100% I just wish they would get their act together and stop removing our favorite features just to say " Hey, we made changes"
There was an update that said it was supposed to fix it earlier this month but it still didnt work..
All it did was allow message streams to have a text tone assigned. Once you deleted a string, it was gone. Just goes to show how simple the fix should be. But they don't fix it and won't acknowlege it being a problem that's bad enough to fix immediately. So done with Samsung.

Man has 4 limbs amputated after dog lick leads to severe infection
Greg Manteufel was forced to have all of his limbs amputated after contracting a rare blood infection that likely came from his dog. (Fox 6 Now)
(FOX NEWS) -- A 48-year-old man with a history of good health, and who has spent his life around dogs, was forced to have all of his limbs amputated after contracting a rare blood infection that likely came from his own dog.
Greg Manteufel, of West Bend, Wisc., landed in the emergency room last month with what he thought was the flu, Fox 6 Now reported.
"It hit him with a vengeance," Dawn Manteufel, his wife, told the news outlet. "Just bruising all over him. Looked like somebody beat him up with a baseball bat."
Subsequent testing revealed that Manteufel had contracted an infection from a bacteria identified as capnocytophaga, which is found in dog saliva. The bacteria can cause severe infections in people with weakened immune systems and is spread through bites or close contact with infected dogs.
Patients infected with the bacteria may have blisters around the bite wound, redness or swelling, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches and muscle and joint pain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms typically appear within three to five days, but can take up to two weeks. Severe infections can be fatal within 72 hours after symptoms appear.
"This infection in his blood triggered a very severe response on his body," Dr. Silvia Munoz-Price, an infectious disease specialist, told Fox 6 Now. "More than 99 percent of the people that have dogs will never have this issue. It's just chance."
The infection caused Manteufel's blood pressure to drop and the circulation to his limbs decrease, causing those limbs to turn black.
With a week, according to Dawn Manteufel, her husband's legs were gone. Manteufel had to undergo additional surgeries to remove portions of his hands, then half of both forearms.
"Furthermore, all areas of Greg's body and tissue was affected by the bacteria and the sepsis, the [doctors] say his nose will need extensive repairs, which means he will need plastic surgery to rebuild a new healthy nose," a post on the family's GoFundMe page said. "Greg is going to need several more surgeries, lots of time and his family by his side to get [through] this life-changing event."
Dawn Manteufel said they are focused on what her husband has left, rather than what was taken away.
Those who would like to donate to Manteufel's medical care can do so through the family's GoFundMe.

Title: Landslide susceptibility map in the Przemysl region in the Eastern part of The Carpathians in Poland.
The Polish Carpathians are built by overthrust of flysch nappes. There are two nappes in the Przemyśl region: Skole Unit and Zglobice-Stebnic Unit, which during orogeny overlapped the autochthonous Miocene of the Carpathian Foredeep. These formations during the Pleistocene and the Hollocene were covered by thicker layers of loess, glacial till and river sediments of the San and Wiar valleys. In general , landslide is one type of mass movement tiggered by gravity. Describes type of movement and type of material moved. Landslide is also the landform that results from such movement. Landslides are a very common occurrence in the Polish part of the Carpathians and their role in slope shaping is great. There are generaly caused by climatic conditions like humidity and precipitation under specific lithological and tectonic conditions. In the world literature, there are many publications from different regions of the world, in which attempts were made to prepare maps of landslide susceptibility: Bonham-Carter et al. (1989), Thurston I Degg (1996), Derbyshire et al. (2000), Pandey and Sharma (2017). There are just a few publications. In Poland, there is also a growing interest in this issue, to mention only such names as: Długosz (2011), Kamiński (2007, 2012), Mrozek (2013), Małka (2015). There are many effective methods of calculating landslide susceptibility maps using GIS tools and software. The most popular are: weithts of evidence, neural network method, frequensy ratio method or statistical index method. The last method was used for the calculations. Counting landslide susceptibility maps consists in crossing several thematic maps with a landslide map. The author of this work, limited herself to only 3 thematic maps, defining the passive factors of landslide formation, i.e. geological structure (geology layer), slope inclination (slope layer) and slope exposure (exposure layer). Landslides from the Przemyśl region were selected for the research. The assumption of the presented method of calculating the landslide susceptibility is "crossing" the landslide map with individual thematic maps. It is possible to calculate the surface landslide index for each selected class of the thematic map and compare it with the surface landslide index for the study area. In this way, we obtain the so-called index maps, i.e. we assign the calculated indexes to the appropriate classes of thematic maps. For each pixel, the index values were summed and a landslide susceptibility map was obtained for the Przemyśl region. The susceptibility to landslides was determined on a 5-point probability scale and the map separates areas with: very low, low, medium, high and very high susceptibility. It is a simplified map. The aim of the work was to understand the philosophy of the chosen method. During the calculations, it was proved that the areas most susceptible to landslides are: areas with sandstone and shaless under loess , areas with slope angle is 7-11 degrees and slopes with western exposure.

Title: Geophysics of the Intraplate Volcanic Fields. Los Encinos and Santo Domingo Case, Central Mexico.
The volcanic fields of Los Encinos (CVLE) and Santo Domingo (CVSD), located northwest of San Luis Potosí – northeast of Zacatecas, and northeast of San Luis Potosí respectively, are located on the trace of an apparent regional line whose origin has been suggested as a possible basement fault. This structure has an approximate N50W orientation whose distribution appears to extend more than 200 km from the northeast of Zacatecas to the central part of San Luis Potosí. Both fields are made up of intraplate mafic rocks with alkaline affinity, although in the case of Campo Santo Domingo they are more recent products presenting Middle Pleistocene ages (0.35 to 0.45 Ma.), while the Los Encinos rocks span Medium to Late Miocene (13.6 to 10.6 Ma.). On the trace of this lineament there is also more recent volcanism (Eocene-Oligocene) with a calco-alkaline composition, which suggests a repeated influence on the rise of magmas at least since the Paleogene. The hypothesis of this study is the presence of a basement fault that has favored the ascent of intraplate magmas in these volcanic fields. This is still controversial since no evidence has been presented to prove the presence of a deep structure in the lithosphere that could have channeled the magmatism. To fill this gap we carry out an integrate study of geophysical methods (gravimetric, geomagnetic, electromagnetic (TEM and MT / AMT soundings), as well as gamma ray spectrometry and radon concentration measurement) in combination with a structural geological study and the application of some remote sensing tools that allowed obtaining information on the geological-structural configuration of both the surface and the subsoil of the region. Preliminary results of this study are presented in this work.

Title: Mineralogical and Physico-chemical Characterization of Bentonite from Iboughardain Area (North-eastern Rif, Morroco).
The Iboughardain deposit is located in the Kert basin (North-eastern Rif, Morocco). The outcrop of bentonite appears in the form of alteration of subhorizontal layers of trachy-andesitic tuffs and cinerites. This alteration is in contact with the greenish marls of the Miocene. Analyses and studies carried out on samples collected in the study area demonstrated a qualitative and semi-quantitative mineralogy mainly composed of variable contents of montmorillonite and associated minerals. Indeed, the chemical composition mostly consist of aluminosilicates which reflects high rates of SiO2 and Al2O3 and relatively sodic than calcic (dominance of albite over anorthite) based on the high percentages of Na2O. However, the other oxides express medium percentages of Fe2O3 (2.58%), K2O (1.63%), MgO (3.526), and MnO (0.04). The bentonites show significant swelling properties based on the calculation of swelling index. The results obtained from the chemical and mineralogical composition, and the swelling index allowed us to characterize the bentonite of Iboughardain area.

Title: Urban Farming, Ecosystems and Climate Change Mitigation in Urban Environments. The Case of SATURN Pan European Programme.
The 'System and sustainable Approach to virTuous interaction of Urban and Rural LaNdscapes' (SATURN) project is exploring how resilience at a city scale might be achieved and how the issues of landscape fragmentation, governance and land management can be addressed resulting to a sustainable future. The EIT Climate-KIC SATURN project is based on a collaboration between three cities of very different scales and contexts, those of Gothenburg in western Sweden, Trento in northern Italy, and Birmingham in the United Kingdom. This paper focuses on the ways in which urban farming can become an important tool to mitigate or adapt to climate change in urban environments by exploring how the three major cities of SATURN deal with these concepts. Using the experience gained throughout the SATURN project as well as the strong communication developed within the consortium, the paper introduces the reasons why urban farming is not just an agricultural activity, but it relates to climate awareness, health and an element of community. With the examples of different urban farming models, this research presents the fully entrepreneurial model of Gothenburg, where public underutilized land is matched with farmers in order for them to scale up their businesses and provide sustainable food, by limiting the shipping distance of the produce. In the Trento case, a land lease scheme named 'banca della terra' has been introduced into a national law, aiming to provide support to farmers and make use of both public and private underutilised land with the creation of a matchmaking platform. Issues of land fragmentation create challenges for sustainable use and successful entrepreneurial activity in agriculture in the Trentino region. The case of Birmingham presents a different model where farming in an urban environment is mostly seen as a support to communities, mental health and awareness, rather than an entrepreneurial activity. The innovation in this paper comes in the form of different European models related to urban agriculture and best practices, demonstrating how abandoned and underutilised public and private land can be regenerated and become an active part of the urban realm. SATURN aims to create a framework presenting sustainable farming models where different examples are tested across the three core cities and other European and global countries (eg. Slovenia, Greece, Spain, New Zealand) focusing on new ways of sustainable agriculture and a viable scheme for public and private underutilised land. The goal behind this project is for the three cities to exchange knowledge and identify innovative characteristics from each model that can work in their own region, providing a new concept for urban farming that can relate and support the fight against climate crisis while at the same time, supporting its community, business and economy. Insights on the ways in which the three different models operate, as well as results on how farming in an urban environment can enhance resilient cities are discussed in this paper.

Title: Drought after a Fire, the Survival of the Genus Quercus in Extreme Conditions.
Mediterranean vegetation as we know it is the result of selective processes that occurred in the Pliocene, the frequent fires of the Tertiary and a process of drying out the climate that occurred after the last ice age. The presence of fire in the ecosystem favours the appearance of xerophilic species, due to the alterations it produces on the hydrological cycle. In a context of global warming where we see an increase of more than 0.5ºC in the average temperature in the Iberian Peninsula in the last 50 years. Consequently, an increase in the effects of the summer drought, typical of Mediterranean climates, is expected under these conditions. In this context, is necessary to know the characteristics of the Mediterranean forests in order to react and improve the plans for conservation and repopulation of this ecosystem. Forest management is framed within the principles of conservation of biological biodiversity, environmental protection and sustainability. In order to achieve these principles it is necessary consider different aspects related to the estimation, maintenance or increase of the genetic variability of forest species, as they largely determine the future evolution of populations, their adaptation to the environment and their conservation. In this study, we have focused on two of these typical and emblematic xerophilous species of Mediterranean forests such us Quercus ilex and Quercus suber. The existence of genetic variation in forest species linked to their geographical distribution and the different environmental conditions of the different populations is a known fact, and the Quercus genus is no exception. That is why in this research a series of populations of Q. ilex and Q. suber from different environmental conditions of Huelva of have been selected, in order to carry out a deep characterization of the phenotypic characteristics that gives them a better adaptation to extreme drought after a fire. To highlight the differences of the different populations were subjected to stress conditions due to drought, with a previous hardering. After that, some morphological parameters such as plant size, stem diameter and the number of leaves of each individual were analyzed over time in order to see the effects of drought on the development of individuals of the different populations in stages of juvenile development. On the other hand, we analyze the water content of the different populations in order to find which individual is the one that best manages water resources in a drought situation. This essay aims to better understand the Q. ilex and Q. suber populations, due to its importance in forest management tasks. This biodiversity search task is vital to select "elite" individuals from populations with respect to their ability to resist drought. This will facilitate better management of the Mediterranean forest.

Today is officially my 'first day' back to working after what was an incredible Bank Holiday weekend. I spent the weekend camping in Wales and climbing Mount Snowdon for the third time, which was fantastic as we all know what brilliant weather we were graced with!
However, my Saturday was spent doing something a little more unique and rather special, setting me up for the bank holiday Sunday and Monday that was to follow. A super cool Margarita Rumble was coming to Manchester's Albert Hall on the Saturday just gone – 5th May – what a new, exciting event coming to the city!
Sponsored by Jose Curevo, the popular Margarita Rumble which had recently taken place in London travelled up to Manchester to take over the Albert Hall, for an all-day festival of Margaritas, Nachos, Tacos, tequila-fuelled fun, entertainment and fierce competition.
Over 15 specially curated, best of the best, bars and restaurants in Manchester sent their top mixologists in to compete for the title of Best Margarita in Manchester at the Margarita Rumble, each shaking up a distinctly unique version of the ever-so-popular cocktail.
Tickets cost £25, and guests were entitled to sample the best margaritas from allllll the bars showcasing, enjoying two whole hours of unlimited cocktails. Two whole hours of bottomless margaritas? Yes please!
It was so nice to see a range of Manchester's top bars all lined up, competing to win the title. I mean, the Margarita cocktail is a firm favourite for so many drinkers, it's like a real classic, traditional cocktail, right? And to experience a twist to the original was rather exciting in my eyes.
I love a good Margarita don't get me wrong, but I was more than ready to taste some twisted version, shaken up to reflect the personalities of Manchester's top bars.
So who was competing? Well, I started my sampling in order of entering the building, which meant I sampled drinks from Hotel Football, Cabana, Mr Coopers, Lock 91, Crazy Pedros, Flock, Lola Lo's, Common, FRESS and El Capo, to name a few, popping round to each little pop-up stand, chatting to the cocktail makers and tasting their delicious versions.
Some were coated in thick, coarse sea salt and pepper, whilst others were light and fruity, with huge slices of lime. And Jose Cuervo also has cute little pop-up stands too, serving up the tradition, much-loved Margarita, as well as fruit inspired twists.
Once I had sampled the delights across all contenders, I soaked up all that tequila and tucked into tasty tacos and nachos, before giving the Margarita prize wheel a little spin. I won A LIME! Yes, a lime….
No mystery gifts for me, but the suspense was super fun and if this festival is to return next year, I'll be back more eager than ever to win some real prizes on that wheel!
Entertainment was provided by a pumping DJ banging out the hits all day and night, as well as Jose Cuervo dancers and the most adorable Mexican band, circling the building playing live music as we sipped, chatted and danced.
After sampling the finest Margarita's Manchester has to offer, I had the chance to cast my vote. So who was worthy of my token? I have to say, Mr Cooper's (situated at The Midland hotel) won by a country mile in my eyes. Their version of the Margarita was floral tasting, yet light and fruity.
It wasn't bitter or sour like some of the others, with no 'tarty' after tasty. Just a juicy, fruitful version, with a bit of a kick.
I popped my vote into their box and crossed my fingers.
And what do you know? They only went and WON! Of course they did – anyone with decent taste buds who know that their version of the Margarita was incredible, and by far a worthy winner.
The whole experience was a fantastic day out, but what I enjoyed the most about it is just how unique and fun it was. It wasn't like any other event or festival I'd been to before. It was cleverly put together, well organised, and the strong Margarita/Mexican theme was prominent the whole way through, with engaging activities and a laid back vibe.
I really hope this Margarita Rumble comes around again next year. I really feel it was a super cool addition to what the Albert Hall – and Manchester in that matter – has to offer.
Mr Coopers – I'll be heading back to your restaurant and bar especially for that delicious drink of yours!

Recently the ATF has waffled on how to interpret an old law. In the 80's, Congress passed legislation to prohibit the manufacture and importation of handgun ammunition designed to pierce armor. Historically, the law has been applied to practically any round under 50 caliber with the only exceptions being 30-06 and 5.56 "green tip".
Other 5.56 ammunition, including true armor piercing designated by a black tip, has been banned from civilian sell. So what are we to make from this unequal treatment of 5.56 ammunition? The ATF must consider the 5.56 to be handgun ammunition, otherwise black tip ammunition would be available to the general public.
So why was "green tip" ammunition allowed to be sold when "black tip" was not? I believe that answer can be found in the two part definition of "armor piercing ammunition" at 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(B).
Subsection (i) bans all handgun ammunition with a projectile or projectile core made entirely "from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper or depleted uranium." Those who are familiar with the "green tip" ammunition know that it has a two part core with a significant part made of lead; a metal not listed. Since the core is made of two different materials, one of which is not listed, the bullet does not fall within subsection (i).
Subsection (ii) bans ammunition "designed and intended for use in a handgun" where the jacket of the bullet makes up more than 25% of the weight of the bullet. According to the ATF, at the time the "green tip" ammunition was designed and an exemption applied for, commercial AR-15 style handguns were not available. Thus we can deduce the ammunition was not designed and intended for a handgun.
Once the ammunition is designed, unless it is redesigned, the purpose of the design cannot change. Therefore, without the ability to say the ammunition was designed for handguns, subsection (ii) should not apply.
Once analyzed, it becomes clear that "green tip" ammunition should not fall within the definition of "armor piercing ammunition". Unfortunately, the ATF moved to include "green tip" 5.56 in the definition of subsection (i) without addressing that the core is not made entirely from one of the proscribed materials.
The ATF then bungled this attempted rule change. First it drafted its regulations book and conveniently left out the 30 year exemption for the ammunition effectively putting the public on notice that "green tip" 5.56 was illegal. Next, more than a month later, it published a proposed rule change that would reclassify the ammunition and allowed 30 days for comments. Before the comment period could run, the change in the regulations book was discovered and publicized. Meanwhile, the ATF received an overwhelming response, more than 80,000 comments, that were mostly negative: This included a letter from a majority of the House and Senate against the ban.
In face of the overwhelming odds, the ATF chose a tactical retreat and alerted the public that it would "further evaluate the issues raised" by the comments. While this is certainly good news, it is not the end of ATF's push to restrict ammunition.

Tveter Escapes Major Injury in Horrific Accident In FIA Formula 3 Race Saturday in Austria
SPIELBERG, Austria, May 23 — Ryan Tveter, the only American competing in the international FIA Formula 3 series this year, turned 22 on Friday. In Saturday morning's F3 race at the Red Bull Ring, the Oyster Bay, N.Y.-based driver almost saw all those years pass before his eyes when he was involved in a horrific accident that garnered a great deal of attention worldwide.
It started with a simple spin, which happens all the time in racing. His black and blue Dallara #3 waltzed into a gravel trap and slowed dramatically, which is exactly what a gravel trap is meant to do to a race car.
This time, though, when Tveter's car stopped it did so right on the racing line, instead of in the gravel trap itself.
It was a dangerous place to have landed.
One driver passed him with no problem, because he'd seen him go off.
The next driver onto the scene wasn't as fortunate. Zhi Cong Li, whose teammates call him Peter, couldn't see Tveter's stopped car because the dust from the gravel trap hadn't settled back onto earth yet, and the car was in a blind spot.
Li, who is one of Tveter's teammates and friends, was at racing speed when he slammed into the back of Tveter's car. It sent Li's car flipping high into the air in a crash that drew a lot of attention on YouTube almost as quickly as the video clip was posted.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nYyvYNvdq0
Another driver, Pedro Piquet, hit the front of Tveter's car to give the young American another punch and contact on both ends of his car.
Miraculously Tveter crawled out of his crumpled car under his own power and walked over to a corner worker. After a ride in an ambulance to a local hospital, his only injury was determined to be a badly bruised right knee.
Li was knocked unconscious, but he was alert and talking when he was airlifted to a hospital. He suffered four broken vertebrae and several broken bones in one of his heels.
Piquet was not hurt.
The race was red-flagged due to the crash and declared complete.
Tveter had started 15th in the 22-car field at the beginning of the race 17 laps earlier. After a great start in which Tveter had already advanced three positions, Anthoine Hubert hit Tveter in Turn 2 on the first lap, sending Tveter into a spin where he was collected by Arjun Maini and Weiron Tan. Tveter was able to reverse and pit for a new nose for his car, and proceeded. Hubert was penalized for avoidable contact. Tveter restarted at the rear and had climbed his way back up to 17th when the big crash occurred.
"We're very lucky that all of us involved are OK," Tveter said. "I cannot express more gratitude to the FIA, Dallara, FIA F3, and all those involved in pushing safety forward in racing. Because of them, we're still here.
"I visited Peter in the hospital on Sunday, and I'm wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery. I can't wait to see him back in the car as soon as possible!"
The next F3 event is slated for June 24-26 on the Norisring street circuit in Nuremberg, Germany.
Tveter's primary marketing partners are Skratch Labs, Pacha Macau, Hintsa, Stilo, Freem, and the social media app With. His black and blue #3 is also carrying the logos of three not-for-profit organizations this year: Right To Play, MTV Staying Alive, and the Lessons for Life Foundation.
For more information see RyanTveter.com and follow him on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. For more information on the series, see FIAF3Europe.com. His team's Web site is at Carlin.co.uk. Videos of all the races are available on YouTube.

US Supreme Court extends gun rights
Page last updated at 15:52 GMT, Monday, 28 June 2010 16:52 UK
The US Supreme Court has restricted the rights of state and city governments to enforce controls on gun ownership.
The US's highest court ruled by 5-4 that a ban on handgun ownership in Chicago was unconstitutional.
Justices said the US Constitution protected the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defence.
The ruling could potentially change laws on gun ownership in many of the US states.
Debate over the exact meaning of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms has raged for years in the US.
The ammendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Two years ago, the court ruled a ban on handguns in Washington DC was unconstitutional – declaring that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess guns, at least for purposes of self-defence in the home.
But Washington is a federal city, with a unique legal standing. Gun rights proponents almost immediately filed a federal lawsuit challenging gun control laws in Chicago, Illinois, and its suburb of Oak Park, where handguns have been banned for nearly 30 years.
In Monday's ruling on that challenge the justices said the Second Amendment right "applies equally to the federal government and the states".
Correspondents say the ruling will be seen as a blow to efforts to reduce the role of firearms in American life.
The justices seen as the more liberal – Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg and Sotomayor – voted against the latest ruling.
The case was brought by four Chicago residents as well as local firearms rights activists and the National Rifle Association.
The latest Supreme Court decision does not explicitly strike down the Chicago area laws, but it orders a federal appeals court to reconsider its ruling – leaving little doubt that the laws will eventually be overturned.
The NRA welcomed the "landmark decision" of the court.
"The NRA will work to ensure this constitutional victory is not transformed into a practical defeat by activist judges, defiant city councils or cynical politicians who seek to pervert, reverse or nullify the Supreme Court's McDonald decision," said NRA executive vice-president Wayne LaPierre.

South Korea U23 vs. Fiji U23 – Preview / Prediction (Rio Olympics 2016 August 5th)
Date: August 4, 2016Author: Modern Seoul 0 Comments
The long 4 year wait is over and the Olympics Games officially starts this coming weekend. However football fans get an early taste of Olympic magic as the Men's and Women's football tournaments kick off a few days prior to the opening ceremony. Sadly the South Korean women's side failed to qualify, however the Men and bronze medal winners from 2012 will be at the games. They were drawn in Group C with Germany, Mexico and their first opponents pacific island nation Fiji. Before looking at that game lets quickly overview the Men's 2016 Olympic Football Tournament;
Men's Football at the Rio Summer Olympic Games 2016
As shown above 15 national plus hosts Brazil qualified for the Olympic Football Tournament. Sides are comprised of under 23 squads plus 3 overaged players. The tournament starts with 4 groups of 4, with the top 2 sides progressing to the knockout stages. Then it's winner takes all going toward the goal medal final later this month.
Games take place in stadiums used during the 2014 World Cup, and with a country whose national sport is football you know this tournament will be well supported.
South Korea U23 vs. Fiji – Preview and Prediction (Friday August 5th 2016)
South Korea U23:
South Korea will be looking to go 2 steps further these Olympic Games and a take a gold medal, bettering the Bronze they won in London. The U23 squad also won the Gold Medal 2 years ago at the Asian Games held in Incheon. They came runners-up in the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship back in January to qualify, and so have a proven track record. They've played 6 friendlies this year in preparation winning 4 and drawing 2, the last game a few days ago was against Sweden which they won 3-2.
Key Player: Tottenham Hotspur Striker Son Heung-Min (valued around $30million) will be a danger for any defence during this tournament. He's played at the World Cup and Asian Cup, so he also brings in valuable experience.
Fiji U23:
Fiji qualified for the Olympics by winning the 2015 Pacific Games. They gained from the disqualification of New Zealand who fielded an ineligible player during the group stages. During that tournament they beat the Federated States of Micronesia 38-0 in the group stages, but also drew with Tahiti and Vanuatu. They beat Papua New Guinea in the Semi-Finals and Vanuatu in the final on penalties. They've never been tested at a high level before and have never qualified for a major tournament at U23 or senior level. A lack of warmup games might be a factor too.
Key Player: Roy Krishna plays for A-League side Wellington Phoenix and it one of the most famous players to come from Fiji. He is also the only member of the squad not locally based.
Head-to-Head: They've never played before at any level.
South Korea U23 5 – 0 Fiji
Fiji have an experienced goalkeeper so we don't see this being a cricket score, but we can't see South Korea losing. Korea will be looking to score a few early goals and then save some energy for their up coming games against Mexico and Germany. On paper this is a bit of a mismatch (Korea are 50-1 on favorites), but you never know what might happen on the day as Fiji are unknown quantities.
South Korea U23 vs. Fiji U23 (Olympic Games Group C) Result & photos
South Korea U23 8-0 Fiji U23
Fiji held on until the last 30mins when Korea scored 7 goals, including 3 goals in a 90second period.

Defending the EU's Trade
by Martin Banks 3 years ago Jul 27, 2020 0 Comments
The European Union is committed to free trade. However, if European industries suffer as a result of unfair practices by non-EU countries, such as dumping and subsidised imports, the EU can respond with Trade Defence Instruments (TDIs). The European Court of Auditors has looked at this area for the first time. It concludes that the Commission has been successful in enforcing trade defence policy, but that there is room to improve the policy's effectiveness, particularly in view of the growing tensions in global trade politics.
As a member of the World Trade Organization and given its own values, the EU is committed to an open and rules-based trading system. The European Commission can use trade defence instruments to fight back against unfair competitive practices that are not compliant with international rules, such as dumping (export sales below domestic prices) and subsidisation (unjustified state support for export products).
Ildikó Gáll-Pelcz
"Open trade creates opportunities for European companies, if the playing field is level. In our audit, we found that the Commission was able to defend the interests of EU producers against unfair competition", said Ildikó Gáll-Pelcz, the member of the European Court of Auditors responsible for the report. "We think that European businesses should be more informed of this action against unfair practices. Moreover, there is scope for improvements in monitoring and prioritising activities to tackle future challenges in international trade."
Trade defence measures usually take the form of extra duties to compensate for losses suffered by EU industry as a result of unfair practices. Trade policy is an exclusive competence of the EU, meaning that the European Commission is responsible for carrying out investigations and imposing duties on behalf of the Member States. According to the auditors, the Commission makes active use of the tools at its disposal, properly carrying out investigations, and duly justifying measures when imposed. In most cases, these defence measures target industrial rather than consumer products, bicycles (both electric and standard) being a notable exception. Indeed, the auditors found that TDIs had had a clearly positive impact in the e-bikes sector: production in Europe would probably have ceased without them. Moreover, according to the auditors, TDIs were also an important source of support for the steel industry, although less so for the solar panel industry. However, the latter sector is strongly impacted by political decisions about the environment and climate change.
In general, the auditors recommend that the Commission raise awareness of trade defence instruments, as only a few industries currently use them: sectors such as steel and chemicals are well acquainted with TDIs, but others – particularly small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) – are much less familiar with them and may therefore not seek protective measures when experiencing trade distortions. Furthermore, the auditors recommend that the Commission, as the EU's global trade player, improve the way it monitors the policy's overall effectiveness and prioritise some actions better (e.g. in context of the WTO forum).
