Der SV Gerasdorf, kurz SVG, war ein österreichischer Fußballverein aus der niederösterreichischen Stadt Gerasdorf, spielend für den Wiener Fußballverband. Zu seiner erfolgreichsten Zeit spielte der Klub von 1994 bis 1998 in der 2. Division, ehe er gemeinsam mit dem VSE St. Pölten im FC Niederösterreich aufging, der 2000 im Konkurs endete.
1998 wurde dann ein neuer Verein mit dem Namen SV Gerasdorf/Stammersdorf gegründet, der heute in Gerasdorf spielt.

Geschichte
Der SV Gerasdorf wurde 1966 gegründet und arbeitet sich langsam von der 4. Klasse bis in die Wiener Stadtliga auch, der vierthöchsten österreichische Spielstufe, an der der Klub erstmals in der Saison 1989/90 teilnahm. Nie schlechter als Dritter konnte der SV Gerasdorf schließlich 1993/94 als Meister in die Regionalliga Ost aufsteigen. Durch eine Spielgemeinschaft mit dem insolventen Bundesliga-Absteiger Wiener Sport-Club ging es für den SV Gerasdorf allerdings gleich eine Spielstufe höher in die Zweite Division, denn die beiden Klubs tauschten ihre Ligaplätze.

Der frischgebackene Zweitligist konnte sich dank Routiniers wie Gerhard Steinkogler, Frenk Schinkels und Kurt Garger – der später das Training übernahm – überraschend gut behaupten. Bereits in der Saison 1995/96 konnte man als Ligazweiter mit nur vier Niederlagen in 30 Spielen an der Relegation zur Bundesliga teilnehmen. Gegen den FC Admira/Wacker gab es auswärts einen 4:3-Sieg, dem daheim allerdings eine 0:6-Niederlage folgte. Der SV Gerasdorf blieb damit in der Zweiten Division, wo er sich im Mittelfeld hielt und holte 1997 mit Hans Krankl auch einen weiteren prominenten Trainer. Auf Betreiben des niederösterreichischen Landeshauptmann Erwin Pröll kam es allerdings 1998 zum Zusammenschluss mit dem Zweitligaabsteiger VSE St. Pölten zum FC Niederösterreich, spielend in St. Pölten. Nur zwei Jahre später war der Klub im Konkurs und somit auch der SV Gerasdorf Geschichte.

Die Frauenmannschaft spielt in der 2. Wiener Frauenlandesliga.

Spencer's annual Veterans Day program will begin at 11 a.m. at the Spencer Army National Guard Armory on Monday, Nov. 12. Retired Iowa Air National Guard master sergeant, Clay County Sheriff Chris Raveling, will be the keynote speaker addressing the importance of veterans appreciation. Raveling served in the military for 27 years, first enlisting in the Iowa Army National Guard in 1987 with the 1-194th Field Artillery Unit in Spencer. In 1989, he joined the USAF, spending eight years on active duty, before joining the Iowa Air National Guard in 1997, with the 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City. The program also will feature many patriotic traditions and songs. Veterans will also be honored at Sacred Heart School at 9:30 a.m. and Spencer High School auditorium at 1 p.m. on Monday providing a musical tribute. These events are open to the public as well. Veterans Day, Nov. 11, will mark the 100th anniversary of the World War I armistice and falls on Sunday this year.


The TVNext conference, held this week in Santa Clara, California, painted a picture of the co-existence of over-the-top (OTT) content offerings alongside traditional cable programming offerings, complementing rather than competing with one another. Unlike other conferences that explore the future of online video—including the defunct NewTeeVee Live and our own Streaming Media events— TVNext focuses heavily on the concept of OTT as a complementary option to live television, including two-screen plays that synchronize between the handset, tablet, laptop, and the television.
Two panels were of particular interest. John Gildred from SyncTV spoke on a panel titled "The Rise of the Next Gen Operator." Gildred, SyncTV's founder and chief technology officer, thinks that the next-generation operator will potentially be virtual. Gildred espouses the concept of a virtual MVPD—multichannel video programming distributor—as a way to drive revenues for networks and other premium content owners.
Gildred's argument goes something like this: A cable company sells you pre-determined packages rather than ala carte channels, because the MVPD is required by the networks and other content owners to itself buy packages of channels. But what if there were a better way?
In Gildred's approach, the better way is a virtual MVPD, somewhat akin to the way that NBC took the international broadcasting center's raw feeds and placed them as streams on the NBCsports.com website and the NBC Olympics application on iOS devices.
"Think about what NBC was able to do during the Olympics," Gildred wrote in an early September blog post. "Every event had its own live stream so that subscribers could pick and choose which events they wanted to watch. NBC was able to quickly add or remove streams from their website, and were able to broadcast each event simultaneously."
While there is certainly merit to an MVPD approach, the basic premise is a bit flawed: By law, cable companies are required to offer a la carte subscriptions to premium channels—a vestige of the Telecommunications Act of 1996—although the cable companies neither advertise nor price these one-off channel subscriptions at equivalent prices to their base or premium packages.
In fact, subscribing to only one premium channel often comes to within five per cent of the monthly subscription fee for an entire package. In other words, it's a business decision, not a technical limitation, that keeps MVPDs from moving to a virtual model.
SyncTV was scheduled to speak at next week's Streaming Media Europe show but dropped out due to a scheduling conflict. The virtual MVPD concept, however, will explored in more detail with the other four MPEG DASH panelists: Anevia, Ericsson, Interlake Media, and Microsoft.
Ofer Shayo, co-founder and chief executive of Tvinci, spoke on another panel called "OTT 2.0: Personalized, Social Television for Every Individual." The Israel-based company is billed as "a pay-OTT platform provider" meaning that it focuses on a services that can be monetized. The company's platform consists of a MediaHub, a storage component called MediaStore, and several device applications.
The company has seen success in several international markets. One area where the company has focused efforts is the integration of both Widevine and Microsoft's PlayReady into a Tvinci integration for Elisa, a Finnish operator.
The TVNext conference marks Tvinci's chance to explore opportunities for OTT TV market in the U.S., as the company seeks customers to work with its "OTT 2.0" platform.
"We see the OTT market moving, now that the tablet is king," says Shayo, "to a personal opportunity, from households and lean-back devices to users with personal 'television' devices like the tablet."
One-day connected TV and second screen conference hits New York City, bringing a look at tomorrow's viewing.

Berks Community Health Center offers your entire family primary and preventive health care services. Primary care is your first stop for health care. Why? Because your Primary Care Provider (PCP) and their whole medical team get to know you. They are your first contact and main point of contact for all continuing care. You become a very important member of the health care team, where everyone is dedicated to improving and maintaining your good health.
Primary care is the day-to-day healthcare given by one of our board-certified family physicians or nurse practitioners. As your PCP, he or she promotes effective communication with you and encourages you to be an active partner in your health care.
Primary care includes diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, health promotion and education, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, and coordination with specialists. Disease prevention, including vaccinations and screenings, is very important, because it is aimed at preventing diseases from happening, as opposed to treating diseases that already exist.
BCHC accepts all forms of insurance, including CHIP and Medicaid, and offers a sliding fee discount program for those (with or without insurance) who have income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
Baby's first visit is scheduled about one to two days after hospital discharge. Often your hospital care team will call us to make the appointment. If not, you can call to schedule the first visit, and we make sure newborns are seen promptly. From then on, your little one will be seen regularly for well-child checks, all immunizations, school and camp physicals, and same day sick visits if needed.
Be Smart from the Start! As soon as you know you are going to have a baby, it's very important to start prenatal care. Start prenatal care during the first three months.
Free pregnancy testing is available at all of our health center locations. There is no need to make an appointment, and you don't have to be a BCHC patient. You may simply walk in and request a free pregnancy test at the front desk and our staff will take care of you. If you are pregnant, we will refer you for early prenatal care so you and your baby have the best chance to be healthy.

Giants Acquire Mike Leake from Reds
July 31, 2015, by Brett Taylor Chicago Cubs
Perhaps the most attractive rental on the market is now off the board, as the Reds have traded Mike Leake to the Giants for pitching prospect Keury Mella and infielder Adam Duvall. Mella, 21, is considered by just about everyone to have been the top prospect in the Giants' system, though he's not quite a top 100 type. Duvall, 26, could be a decent big league bat who can play the corner infield spots.
As the Giants had tried to go after some of the bigger names on the market, it's not surprising to see them drop down to the next best available arm, though, to be sure, Leake is not a front-end guy. He's a steady, solid, middle-of-the-rotation type. He will certainly help the Giants, but he's not necessarily a difference-maker (much in the same way he would have been a great addition for the Cubs, but not necessarily a difference-maker).
Still, it's an upgrade for the Giants, who currently sit ahead of the Cubs in the Wild Card race. For their part, the Giants are also chasing the Dodgers in the West, who keep on throwing money around to get incrementally better.
The Cubs, at one time, had been connected to Leake, but the prospect fit must not have been there. There are still plenty of pitching options available for the Cubs, and, as much as it may not seem like it, there's still plenty of time to make a deal.
Aside: one thing I like about all these rentals being traded? No qualifying offers for any of them. The Cubs won't have a protected pick this year, so they're going to be even warier about going after a qualified free agent.

Premier League round-up: Goalless at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool concede late penalty and City thrash Burnley
0-0 at Stamford Bridge
It finished goalless at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur with the draw keeping Spurs at the top of the league. The match contained very few chances in what was a cagey London derby.
Jose Mourinho's side are top on goal difference with 21 points from 10 games while Chelsea are two points behind in third.
Chelsea are unbeaten in the Premier League since the 20th of September and have conceded only once in their last five league games.
Another clean sheet for Mendy and the Blues! 👌🔵 #CHETOT pic.twitter.com/d5T5okAEmd
— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) November 29, 2020
Spurs' four match winning run ended with a draw but they have kept a clean sheet in four consecutive games.
It was the first game they've not scored in since the opening day of the season. They have gained 13 points from five games away from home this season – their most in their opening five games of a campaign since 1991/92.
Edouard Mendy has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League this season with five, despite playing only six games.
Liverpool concede late penalty
Pascal Gross scored a controversial late penalty to salvage a point for Brighton against Liverpool.
The Seagulls snatch a late point but the champions still return to the top of the #PL table 📈#BHALIV pic.twitter.com/wqEsHNdO9W
— Premier League (@premierleague) November 28, 2020
Referee Stuart Attwell did not initially award the penalty but after reviewing the foul by Andy Robertson on Danny Welbeck at the monitor, he gave the penalty.
Brighton had earlier missed a penalty in the first half as Neal Maupay hit the spot-kick wide from 12 yards.
Mohamed Salah then had a goal disallowed by VAR for a tight offside. It took until the hour mark for Liverpool to go ahead with Diogo Jota scoring his ninth goal for the club.
He received a pass from Salah and burst past two defenders before finding the bottom corner with a low shot.
Sadio Mane thought he had doubled Liverpool's lead but like Salah, had a goal disallowed by VAR for straying offside.
The Seagulls then found a late leveller from the spot to snatch a point and remain 16th.
Liverpool are second, only behind Tottenham on goal difference.
City hammer Burnley
Elsewhere, Man City hammered Burnley 5-0 at the Etihad for the fourth time in a row in all competitions (third straight 5-0 win in the league).
Man City put 5⃣ past Burnley at home in the #PL for the third time in a row#MCIBUR pic.twitter.com/XgvvUtjsPe
Riyad Mahrez scored a hat-trick for the Blues who had only scored 10 goals in their first eight league games before Saturday.
Benjamin Mendy scored his first City goal while also Ferran Torres scored his first Premier League goal for City.
City have now scored 27 times in six matches against Burnley at the Etihad and have won their past seven meetings by an aggregate score of 28-1.
Pep Guardiola's side are only the second in league history to win four successive home games by five or more goals against the same opponent.
Leeds win at Goodison for first time in 30 years
Meanwhile, Leeds beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park to win their first game in four.
Raphinha scored his first goal of the season in the 79th minute to condemn Everton to four losses in five games.
Leeds get their first #PL win at Goodison Park 🙌#EVELEE pic.twitter.com/jO1lob1ec7
Marcelo Bielsa's side move up to 11th in the table. They had 13 shots in the first half – the most by any side in a half this season.
The Toffees haven't kept a clean sheet since the opening day of the season.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will huddle up with Michael Vick in Philadelphia Eagles camp today during his bus tour with Hall of Fame coach John Madden.
According to a report, Goodell plans to talk to Vick about terms of the reinstatement he was given at about this time last summer. Goodell will offer Vick support probably because the NFL knows that another serious misstep by the Eagles backup quarterback would be a PR blunder not only for the team but the league.
The NFL already determined it will not punish Vick for his birthday bash gone wrong in late June when Quanis Phillips, a co-defendant in his federal dogfighting trial, was shot in the league, allegedly within minutes of Vick leaving the party. Vick sold tickets to the public party at a Virginia Beach, Va., night spot.
Goodell's best message? Be smarter. A lot smarter.

Meetings with remarkable buildings
Llanwarne, Herefordshire
Ionically…
The variations on the classical orders of architecture – Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Composite, Tuscan – are legion. They've been the subject of posts on this blog before, but I don't think I've covered a Jacobean variation. This is from a wall monument inside the ruined church at Llanwarne that I featured in my previous post. Maybe some dedicated pursuivant of heraldry could work out whose monument it was from the coats of arms on it. Perhaps it commemorates the person who paid for work on the church in the 17th century, including the south porch – but that's speculation and in this post I'm concentrating on one small detail of the monument's design.
Even now the stonework is weathered, the amount of effort expended by the carver is clear, and one focus of that effort was to delineate a variation in the Ionic order that's very much of its time. Even the shaft is distinctive, with its deep, curving convex mouldings, in contrast to the concave flutes that are more usual on classical columns. There's additional fine detailing between each moulding that looks as if the sculptor has created a series of miniature flutes topped with tiny roundels. The necking ring above is very deeply moulded, and above it is a band ornamented with tiny hemispheres in groups of five, arranged in a pattern that's repeated in the capitals above. Between the capital's spirals is what looks like some egg and dart decoration, but this has worn rather flat. Adjoining the shaft and capital to the right are the rolls and scrolls and flat patterns we now called strapwork, something typical of 17th century English interiors.
In other words, this detail shows an English carver doing what English carvers so often did – taking a classical motif that we associate with ancient Greece or Rome and giving it a character that's both more local and very much of its time. True, some of the ideas may come from pattern books published in France or the Low Countries, go-to sources for much English Renaissance design. But the effect – vigorous, rural, but showing visual flair – is very English, and shows, as so often, that the orders were an adaptable starting point for craftworkers who'd learned the classical ropes.

Floods and fragments
Ruined churches. When I come across one in the countryside I naturally think their ruination has been caused by rural depopulation or population movement. The old church of St John the Baptist at Llanwarne in Herefordshire – a place I was quite unaware of until the other day – was abandoned for another reason. The building, which stands close to a brook, suffered repeated flooding, so in the Victorian period a new church was built on a higher site across the road. The old church still stands, minus its roof, an ornamental and tranquil place in which to contemplate the transience of the works of humankind and the visual qualities of weathered stone.
This building is fragile. Some of the mullions and tracery in the windows seem to be supported by the ironwork that must originally have held panes of glass in place; signs tell us not to climb on the walls. There's a part of me that likes my ruins unkempt and desolate and productive of the sort of emotions that are summed up in the term 'Romantic' and in the useful German word Ruinenlust. That word can be translated as 'Pleasure of ruins', which is the title of a fascinating book about ruins by Rose Macaulay. Ruinenlust involves taking pleasure in something that also invokes dread or sadness. The melancholy aspect of ruins like this is obvious enough, but there are delights too – the vistas of trees and sky above and through window openings, the sense of a quiet haven that's becoming part of nature, the softening effects (so admired by Ruskin) of time on stone.
As you can see from my photographs however, this is not the kind of ruin one sometimes sees slipping rapidly back to nature and surrounded by tall grass and drifts of nettles. It is looked after. The grass is trimmed and the latch on the gate still works. So although I can enjoy the ruin's fragility, the fluid quality of some of its worn window tracery, the patina of its stonework, I can also appreciate the care and effort of the people who look after buildings like this, cut the grass, thoughtfully provide garden benches, and ensure the structure is stable.
Looking at the church is even more than usual an effort of piecing together the building's story from a collection of assorted architectural fragments: a nave and arcade of the 13th century; a 14th-century aisle and graceful 14th-century window tracery; a tower of the same century, much the most solid-looking part of the building; a later porch, probably 17th century. Walking around inside an oddity becomes clear. At some point the ground level both inside and outside the building has been raised, so that now some of the window sills are not far from the turf and the capitals of the arcade piers are only a couple of feet from the floor. Why? Is this the effect of accumulated silt from centuries of flooding? One derivation of the name Llanwarne is 'the church by the swamp'.
The inner doorway of the porch bears fragments of a carved inscription. The difficulty of reading this is demonstrated by the conflicting opinions of a 1931 RCHME survey and Pevsner. Pevsner thinks it's in Latin. The 1931 account sees in it English words such as '[fad]eth – soe doth Man's. . . . the [h]ouse of God', as if a message about decay or ruination is trying to get out. Reading a medieval building can be baffling, but bafflement can be pleasurable, and the quiet enjoyment of a peaceful ruin can be too.

Harrogate, Yorkshire
High up in Harrogate 3
Harrogate's Royal Hall, my third striking skyline structure in the Yorkshire spa town, actually has three towers topping its entrance front, a rather squat square one in the middle and two round ones, one at each end. I like the design of the circular end towers – they're actually quite plain, but the ring of windows offers ventilation, light – and, presumably, could be illuminated at night too, to add interest to the evening skyline.
This large building fulfilled several functions, as hinted by its original name, still carved into the face: Kursaal. If you look up the word 'kursaal' in a dictionary, you'll find it defined as 'a public room at a spa'. The word comes from the German, and is made up of words for 'cure' and 'hall'. But curative functions were far form the only ones in most kursaals – balls, entertainments, theatrical performances, those were the kinds of things that might take place there, and today buildings known as kursaals are given over to all kinds of uses, cinemas and theatres being the most common, although the most famous kursaal, the one at Southend-on-Sea, is the main building of an amusement park and was designed to house a range of activities from balls to billiards.
The Kursaal at Harrogate houses a large theatre and performance auditorium. This is surrounded by an ambulatory, a space around which people could stroll and socialise, not the least important function of the building. You could also take the waters here. This multitude of functions, and the building's size, made it an important one for Harrogate when it was erected in 1903. A competition was organised to find the best design, and well known theatrical architect Frank Matcham was hired to assess the entries and act as consulting architect. He chose a design by an architect called Robert Beale. However, the council judged that Beale's design wasn't entirely practical – it couldn't be built with the available budget – and Matcham was asked to revise the designs. It's said that the final result owes more to Matcham than Beale.
Matcham is best known for his theatre interiors, which are typically highly ornate and admirably practical. The Royal Hall is certainly both of those things – its highly decorative auditorium is looking good after a lengthy restoration in 2000–2008, and its entrance front is certainly inviting and striking. Like my other Harrogate towers, those of the Royal Hall pinpoint a building that's both interesting to look at and an asset to the town.

For the second in my trio of Harrogate towers (all of them from the town's heyday at the end of the 19th century), I've chosen the Westminster Shopping Arcade. When this was built in 1898, shopping arcades were enjoying something of a golden age. The Victorians loved arcades, because they gave pedestrians an escape route from the noise, smell, and bustle of the streets. By presenting themselves as elegant or exclusive, arcades shunned the lower classes and did their best to keep out anyone who might be a pickpocket. Middle-class and upper-class shoppers felt safe and able to shop and window-shop in comfort and at ease.
An arcade was an interesting challenge for an architect. Inside there would be elegant shopfronts (think rich, dark woods, gilded lettering), and a well-lit central walkway (often achieved with an iron and glass roof). But outside? The frontage was often quite small, and the challenge was to make it look at once inviting and upmarket. Norwich's Royal Arcade (blogged long ago here) is a small masterpiece in this regard, with its curving frontage and colourful tiles. The architect of the Westminster Arcade, perhaps inspired by the name, with its hint of the Houses of Parliament, went for a faux late-medieval look – stone walls, vaguely Gothic (or Tudor Gothic) windows, battlements, protruding corner turrets, and a wooden 'belfry' topped with a pointed spire-like roof. Quite a lot of care was given to the details of the belfry. Openings, shafts, crenellations, and the pattern of the roof slates and leadwork are all designed with care, and the whole thing is topped with a wrought-iron crown and finial, a detail seen on several buildings in these parts. No doubt few shoppers even glanced at all this detail once they'd got used to the building. But it turns what could be an anonymous plain frontage into something memorable. It's an entertaining addition to Harrogate's varied skyline and well worth an upward glance.

Although Harrogate was established as a spa by the early-18th century, it had its great boom in the late-19th century, when it became a favoured resort of the upper classes from Britain and abroad. This boom is reflected in the town's architecture, with various grand buildings put up for the benefit of the rich who frequented the place, and for the profit of the locals – improved spa facilities, theatres, shops, all featured. Many of these buildings were architecturally ornate, and one way for a building to make its mark in this hilly town of dramatic prospects and skylines was for it to incorporate at least one tower. When you walk around Harrogate and look up, the chances are that one of these towers will punctuate the view.
This one is a wonderfully effective piece of architectural advertising. Stained glass lettering that is designed to be lit up at night immediately alerts us to the presence of the Grand Opera House – it's the Harrogate Theatre now, but the old name survives on the tower. The opera house opened on 13 January 1900 and was designed by Frank Tugwell, who was also the architect of Scarborough's Futurist Theatre.
Original front-of-house fittings survive inside the building, but what particularly interested me was this tower. It's a combination of diverse elements – a bit of an eclectic mixture – but the brick parapet, tapering slate roof, lantern with its stained glass, curvy cupola, and wrought-iron crown combine to happy effect, with just the right amount of swagger for a theatre in a prosperous town at the dawn of the famously optimistic Edwardian era.
Architecturally, the tower has another role. Drawn to the building by the lantern, one finds that the tower is actually on a corner, where two merging streets force the building into quite an acute angle.* The octagonal tower, made still more memorable by stone quoins and some pretty circular windows on the upper floor, helps the building turn this tight corner with grace and flair. On the skyline and on the street, it's a winning bit of Edwardian whimsy.
* There's a picture of the corner view here.

Westwell, Oxfordshire
Country classicism
My photograph shows what I saw when peering through the churchyard hedge at Westwell, a small village in West Oxfordshire. My first thought was that this building was substantial enough to be the manor house, but actually it's the former rectory. The Church of England quite often accommodated its incumbents in houses of this size and pretension between the 17th and early-20th centuries. The clergy were usually second in status to the Lord of the Manor and often had large families and more than one servant, so a big house was not seen as inappropriate. But by the mid-20th century the church was selling off many of its big rectories and housing rectors and vicars in smaller houses that were easier to care for, cheaper to heat, and generally more suited to the needs of a modern family.
This example was built at the beginning of the 18th century in that simple but satisfying style that I think of as rural classicism – regular rows of mullioned windows, stone quoins, a wooden eaves cornice, and a hipped roof with dormer windows. There's also a pleasant stone doorway with an open pediment supported by curvaceous consoles. The protruding wing on the right is later – mid-19th century – but in the same style and materials.
The church and most of the tombstones in the churchyard are of similar creamy limestone. Altogether, it's a pleasing ensemble, one that has plenty of age, but is still a fitting and one hopes comfortable home – for the living and the dead.

Not long ago the building housing W H Smith's shop in Weston-super-Mare was listed. That, in my opinion, is a cause for celebration, because it's a rare example of how magnificently this company decorated their shops in the interwar period, a time when they were expanding and upgrading many branches, using a repertoire of techniques that included tiling and classical style lettering, the latter designed by Eric Gill. The Weston shop is a rare remaining example of the decorative leadwork they sometimes used – the upper floor is covered with leadwork coats of arms and heraldic symbols representing Bristol, Bath, Taunton, and the county of Somerset – everything, you might say, except for Weston itself, which didn't have a coat of arms until 1928, two years after this shop was rebuilt. The facade includes the same Shakespeare quotation ('Come and take choice of all my library / And so beguile thy sorrow' from Titus Andronicus) that was used on the branch at Stratford. The lending library in this branch was upstairs, and the room that housed it still has decorative plasterwork featuring figures such as a man carrying a leather-bound book, another reason for preserving the building.
All this decoration was of course a very effective piece of advertising. But it's also testimony to the quality of the goods Smith's sold. Many branches of Smith's are today dominated by stationery, newspapers, and magazines. They have always sold goods like these (the Smiths made their first fortune out of railway stalls selling newspapers), but they were just as committed to bookselling, as well as to their lending libraries. Even when I was growing up in the 1960s, the local W H Smith's was a good place to go for books. I had quite a few children's books that came from Smith's (Ladybirds, Observer's books, that kind of thing) and later I bought a few shelves of Penguins and Pelicans from Smith's, some of which I still have. The range was wide, and the attractions for a book lover with little money who didn't live in a place with a big specialist bookshop were obvious. So if you look up at the fancy leadwork and the Shakespeare quotation and think it's all a bit much for a shop stocking mostly magazines, stationery, and a few mass-market paperbacks, remember that once upon a time, you could almost educate yourself at Smith's.
Note on the photograph The last time I visited Weston it was a dull day and the light wasn't very good. I've therefore increased the brightness and contrast in the picture, in an attempt to make the design of the leadwork clearer. Clicking on the picture will enlarge it and make it clearer still.

Page Street, London
Fit for service
In the years before World War I, few people could afford to run a car. Most car owners were rich, and many were rich enough to employ their own chauffeur, who'd usually double as mechanic – which was important, since motor vehicles were nowhere near as reliable as they are today. If you didn't have a chauffeur, it was as well to have at least basic maintenance skills, but, in larger towns especially, there was enough demand for the first garages to start in business. Many mechanics worked in a large shed – maybe a wooden or corrugated iron structure – with enough space to work on a car and to store tools. But some garage owners went for something bigger.
One such firm was Charles Jarrott & Letts, who built their garage in London's Page Street in 1913. Amazingly, the building is still there and traces of the owners' names are still visible on the front. I didn't know what it was when I first saw it, but the open door provoked my interest and I did wonder if it was a place where cars were once repaired. It seemed to have what was needed – plenty of space inside without columns getting in the way, so that you could drive cars in and turn them around; good headroom to accommodate larger vehicles and to allow air to circulate and fumes to find their way out; decent lighting (although this was provided by modern strip lights when I passed by).
Browsing through the excellent English Heritage book Carscapes,* I found a little more out about the building and its owners. Charles Jarrott was one of Britain's first racing drivers, and one of the most successful of the period. Sir William Letts was chairman of Crossley Motors of Manchester, a company that had begun by making engines and industrial machinery, branching into car manufacturing in 1903. They had showrooms in the heart of London, in Great Marlborough Street. The Page Street premises were where vehicles were repaired and serviced.
Like many a garage, it's not a beautiful building. A substantial cornice and pediment are the main architectural ornament. The rest of the visual interest would have come from the signage – the owners' names above the double doors and in the pediment above, the single word 'GARAGE' in large, widely spaced capitals. Just a little more than the basics, then, but enough to ensure that the building paid its way long after Crossley Motors ceased to be an independent company in the 1940s. Above all, this not quite basic building shows how even such a structure can embody interesting history, reminding us that the early development of the motor car involved a variety of personalities – not just a prominent industrialist and a successful racing driver, but also the many anonymous mechanics who got the cars on the road and kept them there.

Highley, Shropshire
These are probably the humblest of all railway buildings. They're lamp huts or tool sheds, and these corrugated iron versions, just 6 ft wide by 9 ft long, were ubiquitous on the Great Western Railway, and no doubt on other lines too. You found them by the trackside, near stations, signal boxes, and anywhere else where lamps, tools, and other small items needed to be stored. They were cheap, utilitarian, and supplied in flat-pack form, for easy erection on a prepared base in a matter of hours. Corrugated iron made assembling these structures quick and easy. Prepare a base, order up the flat pack, assemble, add a coat or two of paint – and the job was done. Whether they were building the roof of a large train shed in a city or putting up a little shed at a country halt, the Victorians looked on corrugated iron as a marvel of the industrial age.
Usually you find these huts on their own – if you needed more space, the flat-pack building firms like Boulton & Paul of Norwich or Samuel Taylor of Birmingham could supply something larger. But here on the Severn Valley Railway at Highley there are a couple, close together, painted in GWR colours, like the little platform shelter I posted recently on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway at Hailes. Most of them are admirable examples of the way heritage railways find old, worn-out structures, restore them, and give them new life.
People used to look down on corrugated iron structures, especially small ones like this. 'It's just a tin hut', they'd say. 'What's so special about that?' But they were economical, readily available, easier to put up than a chest of drawers from IKEA, long-lasting, and simple to customize with a coat of paint in your railway's livery. These days, more people appreciate these qualities of corrugated iron, and more and more I notice garages, sheds, and fences in the gardens of private houses, even in the cosseted Cotswolds where I live, many of them put there by people who haven't necessarily chosen this material because it's cheap. From a lamp hut to a barn for your 4 x 4, this Victorian wonder material is quietly but effectively doing its job.

Facing up to it
There has been much talk recently about Britain's past involvement in slavery. The immediate focus for this discussion has been statues of slave owners and slave traders, but in this post I want to highlight a different kind of monument: this arch in Stroud commemorates the passing of the Abolition of Slavery Act in 1833. It was built in 1834 by Henry Wyatt, a local businessman and supporter of the Stroud Anti-Slavery Society, and it formed the entrance to Wyatt's estate on the edge of the town.
Abolition was slow in coming. Britain abolished the slave trade – the buying and selling of slaves – in 1807, but British people continued to profit from slavery, especially in the form of sugar plantations in the Caribbean.* The steady rather than swift process of abolition. was in part due to pressure from slave owners and in part to the national Anti-Slavery Society, which included, as well as famous abolitions like William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson, Jamaican campaigners of mixed race such as William Hill and Louis Celeste Lecesne. This society initially argued for gradual reform, starting with improving the conditions endured by slaves, followed by emancipation over an extended period, followed finally by the abolition of slavery. But by the 1830s, those who wanted abolition to come more quickly prevailed, helped by local anti-slavery groups, who sent more than 5,000 petitions to Parliament between 1828 and 1830.
Pride when this goal was finally achieved led Wyatt not only to erect this arch as a memorial to the antislavery movement, but also to build it a the entrance to his estate. It's a grand, classical arch but it's not designed like a Roman triumphal arch – it's more modest than that, lacking the massive superstructure of buildings like the Arch of Titus in Rome. At first glance it looks like many an entrance arch to the grounds of a country house, now placed rather incongruously next to modern houses, but with the old entrance lodge nearby and the hills in the distance. At the top, though, there's a plaque explaining the role of the arch 'Erected to commemorate the abolition of slavery in the British colonies the First of August A. D. MDCCCXXXIV.'
The house, Farmhill Park, was demolished in the early-20th century, and a housing estate and a school built in the former grounds. The school, called Archway School, seems especially appropriate today. We need to understand the history of slavery and the impact it has had. Education is vital for this, as it must be if racism is to be tackled. As James Baldwin put it, 'Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.'

Phantom Architecture
Phantom Architecture looks at some of the great buildings of the world that did not make it past the architect's drawing board. A skyscraper one mile high, a dome covering most of downtown Manhattan, a triumphal arch in the form of an elephant: some of the most exciting buildings in the history of architecture are the ones that never got built. These are the projects in which architects took materials to the limits, explored challenging new ideas, defied conventions, and pointed the way towards the future. Some of them are architectural masterpieces, some simply delightful flights of fancy. It was not usually poor design that stymied them – politics, inadequate funding, or a client who chose a 'safe' option rather than a daring vision were all things that could stop a project leaving the drawing board. These unbuilt buildings range from Boullée's vast spherical monument to Isaac Newton to Archigram's Walking City. Phantom Architecture shows why they still haunt us today.

Solo exhibition of Sama Alshaibi's work on view at Ayyam Gallery in Dubai
Mā Lam Tabkī (Unless weeping) from Silsila series, 2014, Diasec, 166 x 250 cm.
DUBAI.- Ayyam Gallery Dubai is presenting Collapse, the solo exhibition of Sama Alshaibi. Featuring a diverse range of work spanning several years of her artistic career, the exhibition highlights Alshaibi's conceptual approach to photography and the layered and collapsing signs that are integral to her distinctive aesthetic, particularly her use of the body as a metaphor for spatial and temporal transgressions. In addition to outlining Alshaibi's intricate sense of formalism, the photographs, installations, and videos of Collapse indicate the underlying themes that have shaped an ongoing narrative in her work, as the artist traces the consequences of war, the psychic effects of forced migration, and the ecological crises that have resulted from such manmade disasters.
Several of Alshaibi's photo-based projects are included in the exhibition, allowing the viewer to travel through a series of performances. By positioning her body, or that of another model, as an image that measures the psychological content of a scene, Alshaibi symbolically gestures to conditions that obstruct physical movement and suspend the imagination, forcing figures to navigate the unseen yet palpable obstacles of fraught spaces.
A centerpiece of Collapse is the multimedia series Silsila, which was first shown as part of the Maldives pavilion of the 2013 Venice Biennale. Depicting a journey that traces the footsteps of fourteenth-century Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta, Alshaibi composes a chain of images that link the significant desert areas and shrinking bodies of water of the MENA region to the island nation of the Maldives, which is currently threatened by rising sea levels. Also inspired by the nomadic traditions of Bedouins, Alshaibi performs at each site, alluding to the processes of purification, transcendence, and renewal while signaling the mystical and historical continuity of these diverse environments.
The title work of the exhibition is a split channel video that invokes the collapse of social structures as different forces struggle for power and humankind disregards the intensifying destruction of the environment. Narrated by the melancholic and foreboding sounds of a child's violin, Collapse (2013-14) describes the loss of our most essential source of sustenance while we remain focused on momentary dominance, collectively headed towards disaster.
As a sort of epilogue to the Silsila series and Collapse, Alshaibi's newly created multimedia installation Exodus (2015) confirms her earlier predictions of impending widespread crises. Inspired by the recent mass migration resulting from overlapping conflicts in North Africa and West Asia, the large-scale installation maps the delicate nature of human life as communities and lands are torn apart by violence. The colony collapse of honeybees that serves as a disquieting metaphor in Collapse reappears in the detailed image of a bee's magnified wings, which is realised in the form of a sculptural object. Between the mosaic veins of each wing are video images that describe the trails of refugees that are now etching new migratory patterns across the world as other environments are left burning.
Collapse is curated by art historian and Ayyam Gallery artistic director Maymanah Farhat.
Sama Alshaibi's multimedia work explores spaces of conflict and the power struggles that arise in the aftermath of war and exile. Alshaibi is particularly interested in how such clashes occur between citizens and the state, creating vexing crises that impact the physical and psychic realms of the individual as resources and land, mobility, political agency, and self-affirmation are compromised. Through performance, video, photography, and installation, Alshaibi positions her own body as an allegorical site that makes the byproducts of war visible.
Born in Basra to an Iraqi father and a Palestinian mother, Sama Alshaibi is based in the United States where she is Chair and Associate Professor of Photography and Video Art at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Alshaibi also holds a BA in Photography from Columbia College and an MFA in Photography, Video, and Media Arts from the University of Colorado. Her works are housed in both public and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Nadour, Germany; The Barjeel Collection, Sharjah; The Rami Farook Collection, Dubai; and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Tunis, Tunisia. In 2014, Alshaibi was awarded the prestigious Fulbright Scholar Fellowship as part of a residency at the Palestine Museum in Ramallah, where she developed an education program while conducting independent research.
Recently, Alshaibi has featured in solo and group exhibitions at the Pirineos Sur Festival, Lanuza, Spain (2015); Ayyam Gallery, London (2015); Arab American National Museum, Michigan (2015); Honolulu Biennial, Hawaii (2014); Photo Shanghai (2014); FotoFest, Houston (2014); the Maldives Pavilion of the Venice Biennale (2013); Venice Art Gallery, Los Angeles (2013); Madrid Palestine Film Festival (2013); University of Southampton (2013); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2012); Edge of Arabia, London (2012); HilgerBROTKunsthalle, Vienna (2012); Institut Du Monde Arabe, Paris (2012); Maraya Art Centre, Sharjah (2012); Lawrie Shabibi, Dubai (2011); and Selma Feriani Gallery, London (2010). Sand Rushes In, Alshaibi's first monograph, was published by Aperture Foundation, New York in 2015.

Medical consumption and costs during a one-year follow-up of patients with LUTS suggestive of BPH in six european countries: report of the TRIUMPH study.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the medical consumption and associated treatment costs of patients with LUTS suggestive of BPH. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional, observational survey in six European countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom, with a one-year follow-up of incident and prevalent patients. RESULTS: Treatment costs were estimated for 5,057 patients with a mean age of 66 years and a mean IPSS score at inclusion of 11.5. In 30% of patients watchful waiting was the therapy of choice for the full follow-up period, 57% were prescribed alpha-lockers, 11% finasteride and 10% phytotherapy at any moment during the follow-up (including switches and combination of treatment). Surgery rate was 4.9%. Mean one-year treatment costs were 858 per patient, three quarters of which concerned medication costs. Multivariate regression analysis showed that medication choice, complications and undergoing surgery were associated with higher costs. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment costs for patients with LUTS suggestive of BPH were moderate and largely consisted of medication costs. Daily practice and associated costs varied considerably across the six countries.

Report: Univision might be shopping for a buyer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A report says Spanish-language television network Univision could be considering a sale from its private equity owners.
Univision confirmed it is "reviewing strategic options" and has hired outside advisers after a report in The Wall Street Journal said it was looking at options, including potentially a sale.
Univision competes with fellow Spanish-language network Telemundo in the U.S.
Private equity firm Saban Capital Group and other firms bought Univision in 2007. In 2016, Univision bought what was then known as Gawker Media, which included news sites Gizmodo and The Onion, for $135 million in an attempt to bring in young readers.
The plan did not pan out, and Univision sold the properties for an undisclosed price earlier this year.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Former Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter has asked the Trump administration to investigate possible Chinese involvement in a mining company that could compete in Idaho with a Canadian-based company that tapped Otter to serve on its board of directors.
The Idaho Statesman reports in a story on Friday that Otter in a July 9 letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he's concerned cobalt mined in Idaho will be shipped to China.

NEW YORK (AP) — The market for small businesses cooled for the third straight quarter during the spring as tariffs from the trade war with China made some sellers and buyers uneasy about making a deal.
That report comes from BizBuySell.com, an online marketplace for small companies that counted 2,444 transactions reported by business brokers from April through June, down 9.6% from 2,705 in the second quarter of last year. Sales fell 6.5% in this year's first quarter from a year earlier, and 6% during 2018's fourth quarter.

NEW YORK (AP) — A wobbly day of trading ended with meager gains for U.S. stock indexes on Monday, enough to nudge them further into record territory, as the curtain rose on what's expected to be the weakest earnings reporting season in years.
Financial stocks fell even though Citigroup said it made more money last quarter than analysts expected. Energy stocks were also weak, but gains for technology and health care stocks helped tip the S&P 500 and other indexes past the highs set on Friday.


What happens when a school is rated as 'Requires Improvement' by Ofsted?
Results of the Ofsted inspection were published yesterday.
St Joseph's Catholic Academy in Hebburn has been handed a Requires Improvement rating by education watchdogs at its most recent inspection.
The school's latest Ofsted report was published yesterday, ruling that standards have slipped since its last inspection in the spring of 2015.
Then, St Joseph's was awarded a Good rating.
This was the school's first full Oftsed inspection following its inception as an academy in July 2013.
Previously, it was known as St Joseph's RC Voluntary Aided Comprehensive School.
This most recent inspection was undertaken by Ofsted over two days January this year, with the report revealing that the school was given the second-lowest rating across four of five inspection areas.
St Joseph's was awarded Good for 16 to 19 study programme and in the report, the leadership of the school's sixth form was praised as "strong".
The school was also commended for having a "committed and motivated staff" and for having effective leadership and support in place for children with special educational needs and disabilities.
We have taken a look at how Ofsted inspections are carried out and what happens after the results are published.
According to information on the Government's website, inspections can take place at any point after the end of the first five working school days in the autumn term.
A school can submit a request for an inspection to be cancelled, but these are only granted in exceptional circumstances.
All news schools, including academies, are usually inspected by Ofsted in the first three years after they open.
Schools are usually notified of forthcoming inspections at around midday on the working day before the inspection date.
What are the Ofsted ratings?
There are four Ofsted ratings: Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement and Inadequate.
What happens when a school is rated as Requires Improvement?
The school will usually have a full re-inspection within 30 months of the school's last full inspection.
Those judged as Requires Improvement may be monitored by Ofsted, though this does not normally apply to a school handed the rating for the first time.
The report on St Joseph's states that the school needs to "improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in key stages 3 and 4" and "develop the effectiveness of leadership and management".

Project Perfect Mod :: View topic - Simple map! ORE!
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2015 12:13 pm Post subject: Simple map! ORE!
Although the map is extremely simple, i do like the concept.
It makes you think twice about what to build on the little space you have.
It could in theory also reduce early game rush.


Wouldn't it be nice if your swimming pool took care of itself? With new pool automation technology, you can handle all the labor-intensive, and sometimes tedious, work of sanitization, pH balancing, keeping the pool clean, and taking care of the filtration systems all with no more work than pressing a few buttons. Sometimes, you don't even have to press anything. It all just takes care of itself!
Better yet, swimming pool automation can save you money. In fact, you can save up to 70% on chemicals and energy costs by automating many of a pool's essential functions. And if you're really into the cool tech stuff, you can use voice automation system, like Amazon's Alexa, to adjust the lights and get the hot tub bubbling.
When people think of tedious pool work they often think of standing on the edge of the pool and fishing out stray leaves with a net. Not to mention cleaning the dust and rocks that can collect at the bottom of pools. This can leave your pool looking dirty and not very appealing.
Now, enter the robotic pool cleaner. This is much more than the old suction or pressure cleaners. These robotic cleaners use sensors, algorithms, and new pool cleaning technology to make sure the entire pool gets cleaned, including scrubbing the walls. Your new swimming pool will be effortlessly spotless!
A real concern many people have when it comes to installing a new inground swimming pool is safety. Swimming pools, like almost anything, can be hazardous without proper supervision and if certain safety precautions aren't taken. However, swimming pool alarm systems go a long way to adding an extra layer of security for worried homeowners. These alarms have been rated up to 100% reliability in detecting any large object falling into a pool. In this case, "large" means anything bigger than a twig. With one of these in the pool, you can feel confident that your family is safe.
Keeping the water clean from debris is one thing, but what about making sure it has the right chemicals? Nobody likes dirty water and nobody likes burning red eyes. So how do you find the right balance? Luckily, you can just use a remote water chemistry monitor to take all the guesswork out of maintaining proper water chemistry.
With a remote water chemistry monitoring system, all those things like pH, calcium hardness, alkalinity, and chlorine levels are continuously monitored by a device that floats in the pool and sends a message to your smartphone when the water needs adjusting. How easy is that?
Even with the latest technology, a swimming pool is only as good as its construction. That's why you should choose Tampa Bay Pools to build your Tampa Bay, Brandon, Clearwater or surrounding area pool. With the right combination of old-fashioned quality and new technology, you'll have a pool that looks amazing, is easy to take care of, and that you can enjoy for years and years to come.

Unofficial CineBench R15 Extreme Edition Mod Launches
By Zak Storey 2019-02-07T10:44:00Z
CineBench R15 has been one of the go to benchmarks, for any and all looking to see how well their processors compete on the world stage. Whether it's stress-testing your latest overclock, or cranking out some numbers to see how well your chip compares to the latest 16 core behemoth, it's an invaluable tool for everyone, from reviewers like ourselves, to the everyday consumer.
However, as benchmarks go, it was originally designed for back in the days when most mainstream CPUs only packed in a paltry four cores. Now on the other hand, with the average processor inching ever closer to twice that number, and with the highest of high end consumer parts multiplying those four cores by a factor of eight, the benchmark is starting to show its age.
With most runs completing in less time than it actually takes for the turbo to engage and disengage fully, it's actually one of the reasons why, personally I complete three consecutive runs, back to back to give an accurate figure, before committing to a second and third test.
This is where the Extreme Edition mod comes in. Pioneered and developed by Guru3D's HWGeek, what the unofficial Extreme Edition mod does is multiply the base render resolution by a factor of four, increasing the workload, and decreasing scores by a similar amount. For instance a Ryzen 7 2700X, scoring 1,671 points in the standard Maxxon distributed CineBench R15, scores only 422 points in the modded variant.
As the core war heats up, and number bloat rises, this could very well be an answer to our multi-threaded problem. You can find the download link here, to give it a shot yourself.
