By Walter Broeckx
A few weeks ago, after the defeat at AC Milan I wanted to write an article about ref Kassai. For those with some kind of memory they will remember him from that shameful game at Braga last season. Yes the game where he refused to give a blatant penalty for a foul on Vela. He even gave Vela a yellow card. When I saw his name for the game at AC Milan I was afraid he might do us one again.
And he didn't disappoint me. Because a small incident at that time seemed not important. We were 4-0 down and desperately trying to do something back. Van Persie got the ball, controlled it with his chest and then a Milan defender pulled him back and down to the ground. My match reporter (a non English reporter) couldn't believe that the ref didn't point at the penalty spot. It should have been a penalty and it could and should have been 4-1.
But I then decided not to write about it. I thought it was over and you know I don't want to sound too much of a moaner about the refs. I did mention it in the comments after the game. And a few others pointed at it also. And that my Gooners was the Busacca-moment (Copyright Untold Arsenal) of this year's Champions League.
So once again a wrong decision from the refs has been the reason we are out of the Champions League. If it wouldn't be for the money we earn by it I wonder why we bother to get in to it as each year the refs con us out of it. Last year because of the fact that the designated winner was on the point of getting out. This year because well I think they dream of a final Milan-Barcelona. Kassai made it clear: there would be no chance for Arsenal to come back from that defeat.
But look at this tonight. What a match. Or should I say: WHAT A PITCH!! Because this game was played on a football pitch. You know one with real grass on it. One as flat as a billiard cloth. A pitch with no bumps. A pitch where a player can control the ball when it comes to him without having to find his balance. For those who think it doesn't play a part, from now on you should know better.
The game started and we were in complete control for 45 minutes. Our emergency midfield was excellent. Rosicky was…. well world class. He fought 90 minutes for everything he had in his body. And then to think that he was doubtful before the game. I take a bow Tomas. A deep bow.
We got that all important early goal. Vermaelen and Rosicky changed position and the Milan defenders couldn't cope with it and Koscielny scored like it was on training. We kept on pressurising Milan and they could hardly get near to Szczesny. A part from a few harmless crosses. At the other end some good pressure lead to Rosicky and Van Persie combining but they couldn't finish the move. Arsenal was all over Milan. And when Theo made a run his cross was diverted in to the feet of the in my opinion best player on the pitch Rosicky. He buried it with a nice finish in the bottom corner. 2-0 and half an hour played.
I could hear the Emirates rocking till here and my match reporters suddenly saw a big comeback on the cards. When Oxlade-Chamberlain made a great run between two defenders in the penalty area they closed the door and brought him down. A clear cut penalty but it took the ref about 5 seconds to make up his mind. And it looked as if the 5th assistant told him he should give what was a clear penalty. Why this hesitation ref? Not in your script? Anyway he gave it and despite AC Milan and the ref trying to do anything they could to distract Van Persie he converted the penalty in style. 3-0 at half time and lucky Milan missed their only real chance in the extra time.
What followed was a classic game. Milan knew they had to do something and changed their formation and became more dangerous. The best chance for Arsenal came to the one person you wanted it to come to. Robin Van Persie…..and he missed when the ball came back from the keeper. Hat of for the Milan keeper for that save as he looked beaten at first. It was the chance of the match to make it 4. It didn't happen.
And then the legs became tired. Oxlade-Chamberlain got a knock and had to be taken off. Walcott a bit later also got a knock when he was clearly fouled by two Milan players but somehow the ref only wanted to give fouls to Milan in that second half for a while.
Milan got a big chance to score themselves but when you are used to play on a dump I think the player was surprised about the fact that the ball did what it did on a normal pitch and he missed from close range and gave the ball to Szczesny.
We tried everything we could but the 4th goal didn't come. My match reporter was hoping for extra time as he said that Arsenal for their performance deserved at least the extra time. The ref would hardly give normal extra time.
But my boy am I proud to be a Gooner right now. Our players played with their heart. Our players showed that on a normal football pitch they wouldn't have been beaten like that. A 3-0 would have been enough if ref Kassai wouldn't have had his Bussacca-moment. And this was the last thing I wanted in fact.
The boys did us proud today. They showed what they are really made of. And this with even a few of our most influential midfielders in the team like Arteta and Ramsey. It was almost a miracle what they did. But miracles don't happen that much in real life. But still, thanks for showing what the real Arsenal is worth today. This was a top class performance against the current league leaders in Italy. A team that hadn't lost away from home in the CL, not even in Barcelona.
So a great performance from our team. So despite going out of the CL I can only say: Thanks boys, you made us proud.
Oh, and thank you Gooners in the Emirates for your great support until the last minute. You see we can beat everyone when the supporters get behind the team.

Fantastic game! Now let's play spuds out of top 3!
Agree with all you say, the players and fans were superb. Being honest, out main aim has to be the top three or four, for all sorts of very good reasons which may not yet even be apparent. with the injuries we are picking up, anything else could stretch us.
The players should be so proud of that performance. Shame arshavin did not show more patience but guess he had his reasons.
Now, we concentrate on what will not be a trophy but which could be a bronze medal position, however our detractors dress it up.
This team need all the backing they can get, they will be up against some good teams and our perennial enemy. As Gerry Adams once said about an all together different organisation, I will say about the pgmol. " they haven't gone away you know!"
Expect more of dowd dean Webb probert et al, and hope we have the resources to overcome, as we did in our last two league games, and just failed to do this evening.
Put the loss down to the FA/FIFA. 4 games in 9 days including 3 away (including the ridiculous Intl friendly). As AW said no other team in the world is given a schedule like that.
What a disgrace that AC Milan for all their supposed history need to resort to doctoring pitches to win.
Time wasting, ref bias. Football has become a joke.
Anyway, all credit to AW and the team for giving everything and trying to play the game the right way.
Ruaridh
has the ox moved ahead of rambo in the ATM position? (this is of course if Rosicky is unavailable)
Think rambo is more suited to playing beside song, linking deeper midfield to the advanced midfielders with his robustness…
The Spartan
Proud Gooner – Love Arsenal – Heads up.
Good review Walter; great attempt by the team – hope our appreciation is somehow conveyed to them.
akasuna
Thank you flying Gunners!! You made my day..off to sleep//
A Bussacca moment and a surfeit of Dean-Time
(minus the dance, being too dim to put steps together).
In a way a small 1-0 win wouldn't have been such a heart breaking result. We would have won, restored a bit of pride.
But now we were so close to it that it also feels more disappointing than a 1-0 win would have felt.
In 10 days we have beaten the spuds, Liverpool and MIlan scoring 10 goals in total
And in those 10 days the majority of our players had to travel around the world to play some stupid f*cking internationals…
Now let us hope the knocks from Theo and The Ox are not too bad…
9jagunnerdoc
Was Rosicky rocking or what? Definitely my Man Of The Match.
Hopefully this team will know they are now more than a match for anyone. As you say, hope theo and ox not too bad. Song looked a bit laboured, but probably just too many games. Think vermaelen will have some very sore ribs after mixes body checking, which the ref ignored. Wonder if Chelsea will get officiating like that against napoli?
We now have I think until next Monday to get the players ready, have a feeling they will be up for Newcastle, wrongs have to be righted in that game. Just hope we have a few mfs left to play!
The effort we put in today, and against Spurs, need to be repeated in every remaining game.
Iyke oriji
I love this club better days to come keep up the faith lets keep us in good position to start next season with some good few buys……..right now lets end 3rd beat man-city and Chelsea for me i love arsenal…..and lastly no coach can take care of my club like Arsene
Gooner Gal
Good write up Walter. The players can walk away with their heads held high. I love my team and manager.
Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arrssenalllll!
Strange, looks to me like the team are really playing for wenger, have they been given a wake up call? A fright? Or do we just have two very good full backs returned to the side. Hopefully, rvp will be offered the right deal, and see how close this side are to winning things. Injuries and refs are costing us dear as ever but if we can finish the season well, hopefully that momentum will go into next season.
This club holds its head high at a time when a rivals chronic mismanagement makes it a laughing stock , another rival and great historical club has clearly overspent on some very poor players, and will have to spend another fortune replacing them, another rival is in a bit of a tizzy over begging for stadium funds ,and at a time when big, traditional clubs are starting to fail, with extremely sad consequences for their staff, fans and communities.. Maybe the arsenal way is not as bad as most would have us believe
according to the brother of theo Walcott he should be okay as it was just a dead leg. It was a bad kick from Van Bommel and the ref just didn't give a foul…. horrible…
Gunne
WELL DONE ARSENAL TEAM!!! Both AC Milan coach, players & fans won't forget ARSENAL easily. That was good football at emirate stadium. Ac milan who?????? They can't match arsenal anytime, anyday.
Van bommel was on a yellow , but he seemed to know he could get away with what he did to theo, as did Mexes with vermaelen. Just hope none of them did vp, it would not be through lack of trying.
I thought this years final would be two of the obvious three, real, barca or home team bayern, but seeing the favours Milan had, I do wonder?

As usual, I just had thee old BBC to follow. No pictures.
Some comments people here at Untold have made about the OX, this comment by Wenger after the game might be of interest.
2214: Wenger on Oxlade-Chamberlain: "He was sick last night and we weren't sure he could play because he had flu. We checked him in the warm up and he was outstanding. It was difficult for him to play at this level in middle of midfield because he usually plays on the flanks but he did very well."
Maybe I am just sensitive, or perhaps you English use the word futile differently than I do. But various things at the BBC had futile in their description of the lead up to the game, half time, or the summary after the game. To me, futile suggests that Wenger should have phoned Milan a couple of days ago and just given them the game. I think that if the BBC represents Britain, the employees of the BBC should remember who signs their paychecks and at least try to be fair in describing things.
There are some twits on twitter who sent their twits in. A selection of interesting and bad:
> "The referee is going to ruin this game (Arsenal v AC Milan)."
> "From 33/1 odds to 5/6 Arsenal, this game has truly overturned! Am a proud gunner."
> "I actually turned down tickets to this… The 2nd leg was worthless surely? I fear I've made a hall of fame bad decision here!"
> "C'mon Arsenal, get 5! Only so Milan can score in the 90th min sending you back where you belong!"
> "If the scoreline stays the same Arsenal deserve ZERO credit. A loss is a loss, however "brave" it might be."
The last two are obviously not Arsenal fans. But why do people feel the need to send this in during a game? Sure, if they are at a pub with a bunch of people, throw nonsense out like this. If someone doesn't like it, maybe a fight starts. Just stupid to be part of the records of the BBC.

The players made everyone associated with Arsenal proud tonight. They really did want it and gave it their all.
Bonds of brotherhood are forged at times like this and I believe we have the foundation in place to compete better in the PL next season particularly when Arsene enhances the team as I expect him to over the summer.
@bjtgooner:
I was there, and believe me that the fans paid their respects to the team! They were sung off the pitch so loudly that it drowned out the Emirates PA system 🙂
Everyone was holding up their Arsenal scarves, and nobody left until the last Arsenal player had walked off the pitch. We kept them out there for a good 10 minutes too just cheering them. And then there was a 45 minute line for the Arsenal tube station, and everyone was still singing.
It's a shame that we didn't advance tonight, but what a great match. And what a great crowd. Whatever the outcome, I was proud to be there 🙂
And I'm hoping to write this up more coherently eventually… But damn… It was a great match… 🙂
Damien Luu
Just amazing! Remember, AC Milan was well prepared for our assault, and they are a top Italian side, but they could do nothing to stop us. Without the help from refs in both legs, and from their hideous pitch, we would have beaten them with only a half of our first team.
Big credit to the team. At 4-0 down in CL anyone could easily give up but not these guys. I have no hesitation saying that this Arsenal team have the greatest fighting spirit that we have seen (and wanted) for years. Maybe this is not the best team we've ever had but boy, I LOVE them.
@Gooner Gal:
Well… Italian teams need their coefficient boost. UEFA knows it. And is willing to provide it at the expense of English teams.
And we kept a clean sheet.. yay!
Goonerdhanesh
Absolute cracker yesterday at the emirates. and excellent article propelling the mistakes of the ref that paved the way for Milan to enter the Q/F.
Hats off to the players who played with full enthusiasm and heart. at least as you said they deserved to play the extra time.
PROUD TO BE A GOONER.
I will try to keep it on my hard disk this game Dogface and try to review it after the season. good idea. Now just hope my wife doesn't delete it…
WOW…was some game! Really proud of the way the team played…it just makes me wonder what would be like if AW had all the players at his disposal. Ox's injury in the 2nd took the wind out of our sail and I can only wish if we had a Diaby or an Arteta or Rambo to replace him…so close! But well done boys, our first half half performance had the hallmark of a great team and we definitely have a bright future!
Indeed Asif if we had only one of Arteta, Benayou, Ramsey or Diaby on the bench it would have made a lot of difference.
We only had two midfielders left after The Ox (what a player he is going to be) had to leave the field.
Walter, thank you so much for putting this up last night.
Weekday matches mean I don't get home until midnight, and am usually tired, but last night I felt utterly exhausted and woke this morning feeling that I had been there. I think I must have kicked every ball.
Just as we kicked off I said to Stefan and Ian who sit next to me, imagine the tension we are going to suffer if we get to 3-0… and so it was. But I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Anne – really glad you had such a game for your first trip to the Ems.
"We can beat anyone in the country and in Europe so it'll give us a lot of confidence,"
"I wouldn't settle now for fourth place. We're four points behind the other north London club, we can challenge them, Chelsea can challenge them as well, and I'll be really pleased to see Tottenham in the Europa League next season." Szczesny
Mahdain
what a game last night which made me feel really proud and honoured to be an arsenal fan..shame we didnt go through but the lads can hold their heads high as in the end it was the stupid refs and a pathetic atrocious pitch that was the difference..somebody rightly said on twitter last night it was the milan groundsmen that were the men of the tie..stupid twats
the only way is now forward..lets beat newcastle and howard webb on monday and go on to get 3rd spot..up and forward is the only way.
Stevie E
Fantastic game last night, very very proud of the whole team. Seems AW is in trouble for daring to criticise the ref. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/9127496/Arsenal-manager-Arsene-Wenger-faces-prospect-of-another-touchline-ban-following-tunnel-row-against-Milan.html
Forgot to add – cheating corrupt bastards
kampala gun
The only problem with Wenger(Arsenal) is that he can never buy off Refs,imagine if that was Berlusconi in the stands!!! Milan could have won by2 penalties.
But as i wrote after the Milan(You can check in the Archives after the game) i knew we would make it but alas we did not but the support from the Emirates was the best i have ever witnessed.Keep it up Gunners
I knew that Milan could get caught out. The comments before the game showed that the team felt the same thing, they never thought that they were out. To me, Milan does not deserve the qualification. We showed that we are much better than them. A shame that we had our worst game in a long time in that first leg.
insideright
Re this so called 'new found spirit' – could it be that the departure of Arshavin has had anything to do with it?
The difference between his efforts for the team and those of Rosicky, Chamberlain, Gervinho (any one of whom might not have played had Arshavin still been around) is obvious. And Koscielny's comment about playing for each other seemed, to me at least, quite pointed.
DarthWenger
Seems like Rocisky is getting a lot of plaudits from fans and media alike for his performance in the last few games. Seems like he is finally recapturing the form when we first bought him.
I guess Wenger was right (as he always is)in keeping faith in so called "dead wood" like Van Persie, Rocisky, Koscielny, Song etc etc
Sammy The Snake
Couldn't have asked for more from our boys. We're proud of you.
Double fist pump from Wenger- best momemt of the night
perfect result in so many ways. thanks again lads.
now go get third. ssshhhh.
What a performance. I cannot wait for Oxlade-Chamberlain & Wilshire to be paired together. We'll have a midfield that most teams only dream about.
gooner murphy
just watched the game on R,T E TV some very very intresting comment form Liam Brady regarding Arsenal's future plans find it on http://www.rte.ie go the iplayer sport section look for champions league, great analysis of the match from the panel note the Arsenal game is after the Lyon matgh so you can surf right to it
AFCThick/Thin
Mancini tapping up 1 of our players again…
Because many people asked it we did a ref review of the Arsenal Milan game and will try to do also the first leg.
I must say I was blown away by the numbers. On here soon…stay on line…
Dogface over to you 😉
DogFace
Righto… I'll look at it now and gen up the tables.
done – all yours.
Persian gunner
When you win a game, you're happy
But, when you win a game like this, you are in love!
Ong Bing
I was so down, I getting sick 2 days after the game. We are so close, but after fantastic first half, we getting tired, I am not blame our player, I think they already do their best, who don't want to go next round of UCL?
Arsene said in a few times before, cup game is little bit gambling, sometimes you get lucky in the right moment, I believe if Arteta there that night, Song and Gervinho on song, the story will be different.
I never saw Song playing very bad before this game. And Gervinho never good after back from African Cup Nation.

Q: How to open Location Services page in iOS using swift? I need to ask user to enable Location Services if disabled. I have created an Alert which asks user if he wants to enable Location. I user clicks Ok I want to open Location Services page on iPhone as seen below:

I am trying 'openSettingsURLString' but it opens App settings instead of Location Services page, this is the code:
            let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString)

            let settingsAction = UIAlertAction(title: NSLocalizedString("OK", comment: ""), style: .default) {
                (UIAlertAction) in UIApplication.shared.open(url!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
                self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
            }

            alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
            alertController.addAction(settingsAction)
            self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

A:
⚠ Caution
There is a way to achieve the following. However, as of iOS 12, Apple
has begun rejecting apps that use App-Prefs or prefs:root as both methods are based on undocumented APIs.

Open Settings App - This one should be OK to use.
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString)!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)

Open Location Services
If this app is for personal use only and you do not plan to submit it to the App Store, then you should be ok to use the following. Otherwise, if you do plan to release your app, Apple will reject it upon review.
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "App-prefs:LOCATION_SERVICES")!)

A: I believe this is not possible, you can only navigate to the settings of the app itself; Apple expects the user themself to navigate to location services. . I would recommend giving the user instructions on how to navigate to location services as an alternative such as some screenshots and the path they should take.

I've succumbed to the festive disease of constant binge eating/drinking over the holidays so have little to say so far. Back at work on Tuesday which is coincidentally the day I become teetotal for a month (normally starts on Jan 1st however being on holiday stopped that.......). Quick post here with a pic of my miniatures workbench - the total chaos is indicative of my own life. Very little gets done. New Year. New organisational skills needed. Probably. More later.


© Jan Pakulski and Bruce Tranter, 2015. The authors of this book argue that changing recruitment patterns and career profiles of Australian federal MPs - analyzed in the context of trends towards factionalized patronage parties, opportunistic populism, party-bureaucratic careers and increasing fast tracking to the top - have reduced the parliamentary elite's quality, particularly since the 1990s. The declining quality of the Australian 'political class' is a major factor underlying the decline in public trust and confidence in federal parliamentarians. Major parties in Australia are weakened by voter-party dealignment, factional divisions, falling trust and declining membership. They gradually abandon the systematic recruitment and grooming of leaders, attempting instead to pick emerging leaders and vote winners: factional loyalists, media celebrities, and skillful party functionaries. This trend is aggravated by relentless media exposés that undermine the system of political recruitment by skewing it towards the selection of party bureaucrats, demagogues, celebrities and PR experts.

Hellas Gold to continue operations in Halkidiki
Thursday, September 21st, 2017
Hellas Gold will continue operating its gold mines in Halkidiki after the company on Thursday announced a temporary postponment of a work suspension decision due to be valid from Friday, 22 September.
The decision came after a meeting between miners with the secretary-general of Environment and Energy ministry Mihalis Verriopoulos and the management of the company, following the beginning of arbitration process between the Greek state and Hellas Gold and the approval of licenses needed for the operation of Olympias, last week.
Eldorado Gold Corporation announced that it has entered into constructive dialogue with Greece΄s Ministry of Energy and Environment in respect to the development of the company΄s subsidiary, Hellas Gold S.A.΄s, Kassandra Mine assets in Halkidiki, Northern Greece. The Kassandra assets, which include the Skouries and Olympias projects and the Stratoni mine, were permitted under one single Environment Impact Study approved in 2011 by the Greek State.
George Burns, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado, commented: "We are very pleased with the constructive dialogue that is underway with the Ministry of Energy and Environment. Furthermore, last week the Ministry issued a number of long overdue routine permits for our Olympias project. As a result of these developments we have decided to temporarily postpone our decision to place our assets in Halkidiki on care and maintenance."
"We preserve the right to place our assets on care and maintenance and to take prompt legal action to protect the Company and its assets in Greece should our dialogue with the Ministry of Energy and Environment prove unsuccessful. At the same time, we remain confident that the arbitration process initiated last week by the Greek government will be concluded in a timely and efficient manner, for the benefit of all stakeholders," Burns concluded.

Gender Controversy at 'Muggle' Quidditch World Cup
At the North-East U.S. Quidditch Regional Finals last month, the Montpelier (VT) Marauders set off an international controversy by fielding 7 players who, to look at them, all seemed to be male, each one claiming to be of a different 'gender'.
"A little strange," you might think, "but hardly major sports news, even for quidditch fans." Strange is definitely the right word, especially when you see that the 'genders' listed are 'doughnut', 'walrus', 'sdfh', 'panache', 'reddish-green', 'neutrum', and 'The Karo-Cann Defence'. However, this choice of players is actually a very big deal for quidditch because of the sport's 'gender rule', also known as the 'two minimum rule' and the 'four maximum rule'.
Let's back up, for the sake of those of our readers who are not quidditch enthusiasts: Quidditch, also known as 'Muggle Quidditch', to distinguish it from the version of the game which requires enchanted broomsticks and thick round glasses held together by a piece of tape, was invented in 2005, and differs from the magical version of the game by not beginning with a capital letter. One rule unique to quidditch—as opposed to Quidditch—is the gender rule, which, according to the US Quidditch Rulebook (8th edition, 2nd version) runs as follows:
A quidditch game allows each team to have a maximum of four
players, not including the seeker, who identify as the same gender
in active play on the field at the same time. The gender that a
player identifies with is considered to be that player's gender,
which may or may not be the same as that person's sex. This is
commonly referred to as the "four maximum" rule.1
By fielding players identifying as seven different genders, the Marauders obviously complied with the rule. However, the opposing—and losing—team, the Portland (ME) Possums, lodged an objection with the International Quidditch Association immediately after the game, claiming that, "while the Marauders did, it would seem, satisfy the gender rule as written, they used the rule to gain an unfair advantage."
There are, as yet, no indications of what action, if any, the IQA will take in response to this seeming abuse.

Cornwall has many wow factors: the beaches, the dramatic cliffs, the sunsets over the Atlantic – not to mention the artwork, wildlife, architecture, gardens and, well, you get the idea.
And this month's wow comes encased in paper and filled with light on the streets of our capital city for one night only. The City of Lights parade, will take place on 21 November when Truro will see around 700 lanterns of all shapes and sizes head through the centre of the city in front of a crowd of 30,000 people who come from all over the world to see one of the biggest parades of its kind.
'When City of Lights started we wanted to create the possibility of a new tradition for Truro,' explains its artistic director Tony Crosby who has been with the festival since it began.
For many of us it is the giant lanterns that we remember most of all: and these, along with others lanterns are created along a different theme each year.
City of Lights aims to simulate the artists' imaginations each year with a good theme and this year the theme is Remember.
The event has gotten more and more popular every year, with more people wanting to get involved. But that success comes at a cost. And that cost has increased as the event has gotten bigger – there is a lot of health and safety involved, as well as the cost of creating the lanterns themselves.
Just a £2 donation from everyone who attends would cover the cost of the event and help towards the following year,' explain organisers.
The work to create this night goes on throughout the year with around 300 volunteers involved – around half of those on the night as stewards and the celebrated 'bucketeers' who raise money on the night. Other volunteers will be involved in workshops with schools and community groups who have been busy creating their lanterns over the last month.
Behind the scenes a small team – of mostly volunteers – work tirelessly throughout the year to bring this us one magical night and its wings have slowly spread throughout the community which art residencies and other events planned throughout 2018.
And while the simplicity of the lanterns – created from paper and glue – remains the main appeal, the organisers are also looking at how to use new technologies to keep refreshing the event.
'Imagine the number of lanterns made over the years: many thousands by the children and more than two hundred by the artists,' says Tony of the past 21 years. 'That is quite a spectacle in anyone's eyes. A lot of stories told and inspiration shared, everyone will remember their favourite lantern. But none of this happens without a remarkable and dedicated team who work tirelessly across the year to make this all happen and for Truro to shine.

Things You Possibly Really Did Not Learn About Health And Wellness.
The World Health and wellness Organization defines health as a state of total physical, mental, and social well-being. However, the interpretation of health and wellness differs extensively across societies. According to the United Nations, only 15% of the complete health budget plan is dedicated to healthcare. The staying 80% is devoted to the social components of wellbeing, which impact the health of people and also communities. These elements are frequently identified by sources, power, and policies, and are frequently the outcome of establishments or plans that were established by those with money as well as power.
The Globe Health Organization defines health as a state of full physical, psychological, and social wellness. There are several means to promote healthiness, including decreasing harmful habits and also promoting healthy tasks. There are additionally several architectural sources of illness, which might affect wellness. The complying with are some of the significant danger elements for bad health. In addition to lifestyle, genes, and environmental problems play a significant role in determining an individual's health.
The that defined health in 1948, and also the present interpretation highlights resiliency as well as the capacity to handle altering settings. It likewise specifies health as the lack of condition. The that has changed its interpretation of health in 1984, and it currently consists of a variety of aspects including the capacity to accomplish one's needs and fulfill desires. A healthy way of living, including regular exercise, can enhance a person's lifestyle. Additionally, healthy and balanced lifestyles are important to ensure that an individual is literally as well as mentally solid.
The term wellness can be defined in measurable terms based on its feature and also the chance of unavoidable illness. The meaning of health is usually described in tables of referral worths or in textbooks on clinical medicine and medical diagnosis. A health examination will likely include a series of tests, some of which are extra descriptive than quantitative, while others are highly-quantitative and also can suggest the existence of a disease in an apparently healthy person. The objective of a health examination is to guarantee that a person's health and wellness is optimum.
In 1948, the Globe Wellness Organization (WHO) specified health and wellness as the absence of illness. Today, the interpretation of health is more comprehensive and also a lot more comprehensive. It describes a person's total health and is characterized by physical, psychological, and also social elements. Because of this, it needs to be able to measure and analyze their very own health and wellness as well as identify the degree of danger for numerous diseases. Further, the interpretation of health and wellness must not only be adapted to their way of living however should likewise be consistent with the requirements as well as objectives of their environment.
The World Wellness Organisation has additionally specified wellness in its beginning constitution. This constitution rejects the concept of a condition state as an absolute entity. Rather, it specifies it as a person's capability to adapt to their environment. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehend that wellness is not a single attribute, but instead a continuum. Hence, condition can be referred to as a collection of qualities, such as anatomical framework, or anatomical structures.
The Globe Health and wellness Organization specifies health as "a state of full physical, psychological, and also social well-being." Efforts to advertise wellness can consist of engaging in healthy and balanced activities, reducing unhealthy ones, and also staying clear of unhealthy circumstances. Several of these aspects are determined by individual options, while others have architectural reasons. In Canada, the general public has a responsibility to keep their health in good condition. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to improve your health.
First, consider the definition of health. Historically, that specified wellness as "the lack of disease." Nevertheless, contemporary society has actually altered the meaning of health to position an emphasis on the capacity to handle stress, develop skills, and also keep connections. The Globe Bank specifies health as the quality of life of an individual, family, and society. The United States Division of Wellness as well as Human Services (HHS) offers an useful device to analyze health and wellness. It has many benefits, but it also has some drawbacks.
To comprehend just how to measure health, we need to define health as a set of resources that people need to live their lives. On The Planet Bank, we define wellness as the capacity of a person to manage the setting. The United States has a Constitution that defines health and wellness as a basic human right. The right to a high quality of life is a basic right. The Globe Financial institution estimates that roughly 75% of grownups in creating nations are not healthy. This reality is the basis for the UN's meaning of wellness.
The World Health Organisation's Constitution for the Globe Health Organisation (WHO) was adopted in 1948. The constitution acknowledges that 'wellness is a standard human right. It stipulates that 'the pleasure of the highest possible obtainable requirement of health is a fundamental human right, despite race, political belief, or socioeconomic status. Many nation states have backed the WorldHealth Company's right to health and wellness and have legal responsibilities to advertise wellness for all residents.
The interpretation of health is based upon the definition of disease. In the clinical model, health is the absence of condition. Therefore, if an individual is healthy and balanced, they do not experience any kind of conditions. However, the visibility of a condition will certainly cause a poorer lifestyle. For example, an individual dealing with AIDS might not be healthy and balanced, as well as could not have the ability to operate appropriately. In such a case, the that would consider their health as inadequate. Health Clinic
According to the World Wellness Company's constitution, wellness is a basic human right. It specifies that "the satisfaction of the greatest obtainable requirement of health and wellness is a fundamental human right." Better, it is a right that should be safeguarded by the regulation. Without the right to health, the nation will certainly not have the ability to provide quality medical care to people. Additionally, the USA' Constitution preserves the right to wellness is a constitutional right and also has a wonderful influence on the globe.

'Elvis' star Austin Butler attends Lisa Marie Presley's memorial with Kaia Gerber
By Desiree Murphy and Nicki Gostin
Austin Butler, who famously portrayed Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" biopic, attended Lisa Marie Presley's public memorial service at Graceland on Sunday.
The actor and his girlfriend, Kaia Gerber, were seated right behind the Presley family as stars like Alanis Morissette and Axl Rose performed tributes in honor of Elvis' only child.

Butler, 31, was dressed in a black peacoat with matching pants and dress shoes, while Gerber, 21, complemented her beau's look in a similar somber ensemble.
The two have been dating since January 2022, following Gerber's highly publicized breakup from "Euphoria" star Jacob Elordi.

An eyewitness told Page Six that Luhrmann was also in attendance for the service with his wife, "Elvis" costume designer Catherine Martin. We're told the Australian film director, 60, walked over to Butler at one point to give him a hug.
As previously reported, Lisa Marie died on Jan. 12 at the age of 54.
Butler has been dating Kaia Gerber for over a year.

"My heart is completely shattered for Riley, Finley, Harper and Priscilla at the tragic and unexpected loss of Lisa Marie," Butler said in a statement to E! News at the time, referencing the singer's daughters and mother.
"I am eternally grateful for the time I was lucky enough to be near her bright light and will forever cherish the quiet moments we shared. Her warmth, her love and her authenticity will always be remembered."
"[I] will forever cherish the quiet moments we shared," the actor previously said of Lisa Marie in a statement.
The tribute came just days after Butler won Best Actor in a Drama at the 2023 Golden Globes for his portrayal of the late King of Rock 'n' Roll.
In his acceptance speech, Butler thanked Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley for opening their "hearts," "memories" and "home" to him in preparation for the role.
"Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever," he added.
Butler recently won a Golden Globe award for his portrayal of Elvis.
Sunday's memorial also featured tributes from Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, talent manager Jerry Schilling and Lisa Marie's 33-year-old daughter, Riley.
The actress' husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, took the podium to read a note on Riley's behalf – revealing they quietly welcomed a daughter together prior to Lisa Marie's death.
Lisa Marie's daughter Riley Keough was also in attendance for Sunday's service.
"Thank you for showing me love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters," the message read in part.
"Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I'm a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart."
The actress' husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, revealed they quietly welcomed a child together while reading a note on behalf of Riley.

Page Six also reported Sunday that Lisa Marie was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden at Graceland next to her beloved son, Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020.
Elvis and his parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, are also buried in the garden of the property in Memphis, Tenn.
In addition to Riley, Lisa Marie leaves behind two other children: 14-year-old twins Finley and Harper Lockwood.

With no end to the partial government shutdown in sight, the Washington State Employee Security Department (ESD) has come to the rescue of furloughed federal workers. In a press release, the department stated that furloughed workers might apply for unemployment benefits even as they wait to return to their jobs. These benefits may help them meet their financial commitments.
To apply for benefits, federal employees may visit the official website ESD.wa.gov or call at 800-318-6022. "The day they should call depends on the last digit of their social security number," stated the release. Applications are entertained online or on the phone because there are no longer "unemployment offices" in Washington state.
Since the department will be unable to contact their employers regarding verification of their wages owing to the shutdown, furloughed workers should be ready to provide the proof if requested. Copies of pay stubs or W-2 forms can be included as valid documents.
For more information regarding unemployment benefits related to the partial federal shutdown, employees may go through the ESD web page specifically answering queries for federal workers affected by the shutdown.
Over 73,000 federal employees worked in Washington as of the first quarter of 2018.
Approximately 1,000 workers have applied for unemployment benefits with ESD since the furlough started.
Applications also have been received from furloughed employees and also workers who were fired for other reasons. The release further states that according to the law, workers who receive backpay must repay if any benefits received.
However, Washington state federal workers who are currently working full time but are not being paid during the partial government shutdown are not eligible for unemployment benefits because they are considered fully employed, states the special ESD web page.

Gloucestershire is a county in southwest England. Traditionally it included Bristol, which has not been considered part of Gloucestershire since 1373. Also, the area of South Gloucestershire is now a separate administrative county, although it remains part of Gloucestershire for ceremonial purposes.
Gloucestershire borders the Monmouthshire in Wales, and in England Herefordshire, South Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, Swindon, Warwickshire and Wiltshire.
Berkeley Castle, an example of a feudal stronghold.
The cathedrals of Gloucester and Bristol, the magnificent abbey church of Tewkesbury, and the church of Cirencester with its great perpendicular porch, are described under their separate headings. Of the abbey of Hayles near Winchcomb, founded by Richard, earl of Cornwall, in 1246, little more than the foundations are left, but these have been excavated with great care, and interesting fragments have been brought to light.
Most of the old market towns have fine parish churches. At Deerhurst near Tewkesbury, and Cleeve near Cheltenham, there are churches of special interest on account of the pre-Norman work they retain. The Perpendicular church at Lechlade is unusually perfect; and that at Fairford was built (c. 1500), according to tradition, to contain the remarkable series of stained-glass windows which are said to have been brought from the Netherlands. These are, however, adjudged to be of English workmanship, and are one of the finest series in the country.
The great Decorated Calcot Barn is an interesting relic of the monastery of Kingswood near Tetbury. Thornbury Castle, in the same district, is a fine Tudor ruin, the pretensions of which evoked the jealousy of Cardinal Wolsey against its builder, Edward Stafford, duke of Buckingham, who was beheaded in 1521. Near Cheltenham is the fine 15th-century mansion of Southam de la Bere, of timber and stone. Memorials of the de la Bere family appear in the church at Cleeve. The mansion contains a tiled floor from Hayles Abbey. At Great Badminton is the mansion and vast domain of the Beauforts (formerly of the Botelers and others), on the south-eastern boundary of the county.

Q: Using Data Objects while E2E testing with Protractor So a coworker and I were discussing making a data object for our e2e tests. From my understanding about data objects they are used for decoupling your test suites. For example, my first test suite is to create an account and to test if the fields are valid and the second test suite logins into the account and does its own tests. I am told it is good to use data objects (not a page object) just incase the first test suite fails when making an account. That way we can use the data object in the second test suite to create a new user just for testing login. My problem is that if my first test suite fails at making an account, why would creating an account in my second test suite pass? Whatever error I get in the First test suite, I should also get in the second test suite right? I have many more questions about data objects and how to use them. I was wondering if someone could explain data objects and how to use/write one.
    /***
    Test Data Object
***/

var Member = function() {
    var unixTime = String(Math.round(new Date()/1000));
    this.username = "TestAccount" + unixTime;
    this.email = this.username + "@gmail.com";
    this.password = "password";
};

Member.prototype.create = function () {
    var signup = new signupPage.Signup();
    signup.getPage();
    signup.memberAs(this.username, this.email, this.password);
};

Member.prototype.login = function () {
    var login = new loginPage.Login();
    login.getPage();
    login.memberAs(this.username, this.password);
};

Member.prototype.logout = function () {
    // k.logoutMember();
};

exports.Member = Member;

This is the data object my coworker wrote. We haven't finished writing the tests because we stopped to think about it more, but here are the tests we have so far.
var chai = require('chai');
var chaiAsPromised = require("chai-as-promised");
var expect = chai.expect;
var member = require('./lib/test-data');

chai.use(chaiAsPromised);

describe.only('Member Account Settings and Information', function() {
    before(function () {
        member.create();
    });

    before.each(function() {
        member.login();
    });

    describe('My Account', function () {
        it('Logging in should enable the "My Account" link.', function() {
            member.login();
        });

        it('Clicking on "My Account" should expand the account options', function() {
        });
    });

A: I use hashes for my data objects. Here's an example from my protractor_example code on GitHub.
Given a data file:
var UserData = function() {
    this.testUser = {'username': 'test', 'password': 'test'};
};
module.exports = new UserData();

Then the spec...
describe ('non-angular login test', function() {
    var loginPage = require('../pages/nonAngularLoginPage.js');
    var userData = require('../data/userData.js');

    it('should goto friend pages on successful login', function() {
        loginPage.loginAs(userData.testUser);

        expect(browser.getTitle()).toContain('Angular JS Demo');
    });
});


A beautiful identity icon for the Richmond Hill Hotel. Crafted oak leaves marry to form the shape of a stags head. A nod to the Georgian building and the Hotel being on the edge of the famous Richmond Park, known and loved for its deer. Mosaic commissioned Chris Mitchell to create a contemporary symmetrical and elegant illustrative design but with a traditional 'lilt'. Importantly it had to be in keeping with Georgian wall paper design, as the design had to also feature as a repeated pattern.

K.I.S.S. — Keep It Simple Stupid! A Guide to Nailing Your New Year's Resolution
By Tyler King on	 December 27, 2013 Lifestyle
Halloween candies, Thanksgiving feasts, and Christmas sweets have given us plenty to eat for the past couple months and have, unfortunately, been wreaking havoc on our bodies. Now with New Year's Eve and Day quickly approaching, it's time for one last hurrah before the proclamation of change, as old as the turning of the years itself, hits center stage: the New Year's resolution.
A quick google search gave me a Forbes article which states only about 8% of people fulfilled their New Year's resolution from year's beginning to end. Almost all who make a resolution, as well intentioned as they may be, will ultimately fail. Never fear, though, readers. Below is a fool proof plan to make sure you nail that resolution from "Oh, oh, oh, another year already?" to "Ho, ho, ho!" all over again.
The first issue people run into is making their resolution specific. People, perhaps even yourself, may resolve something like, "I want to get involved in a gym in 2014." You mean well, and you may even have a plan, but what does "get involved" really mean? Find something specific. "I want to increase my bench press" is a lot better. More steps need to be taken to achieve this goal, but we're going in the right direction.
The second issue is the attainability. What if your goal is to go to the gym five times a week, but you work 80 hours a week, have a family, and live an hour away from the nearest gym? And even if you are within driving distance of a gym and your social and professional life can withstand an hour of exercise a night, the "get into a gym" resolution is too vague. You may want to bench press 300 pounds or do 20 pullups, but if you can't do one pullup or can't bench press the bar, these resolutions are doomed to fail. So, make it attainable. Put your resolution, and yourself, in a position where it can be done. "I want to add (X number) or more pounds this year to my bench press" is good. It's difficult enough you'll need to remain dedicated all year, but not so far that you can't reach it unless you're Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath.
Finally, the main reason we fail is accountability. Going to the gym to work on your bench press is awesome. but what happens in Mid-May, when the sun begins to shine and all you want to do is be outside. It's easy to remain dedicated to a goal that involves staying inside when it's (-30), but what about when other factors step into play? Get a buddy. Someone who will go to the gym with you, remind you why you're there and not let you quit until the resolution has been met. Keeping an accountability partner allows someone else to get inside your head — know your reasoning for your resolution — share in your successes and be there to get you back on your feet during the set backs. I'm not saying you can't fail with a resolution buddy, but it is a lot harder to give up when someone else at your side pushing you along.
Back in December of 2010, I told myself, "No pop for 2011." I liked it because it was specific enough that I didn't really have room for excuses, but broad enough for myself to still enjoy other flavored drinks, like juice and iced tea. I'm not myself a beer drinker so I really had no worry with that beverage. I was able to keep it with help from others who took up the challenge to keep me honest and I noticed significant improvements. I no longer had headaches from caffeine withdrawl, my muscles recovered faster when I spent time in the gym, and I didn't feel as slugglish. On New Year's Day 2011, after a full year of not drinking pop, I opened up a Mountain Dew and chugged it. IT BURNED. All the way down my throat it hurt. Now, I will drink a pop but I don't need it in my life. I knew the pros outweighed the cons, the resolution was doable, and I had a great support system helping me all year round.
This year, I've decided to go with another health based resolution. Although a little nervous, I have resolved to run 2014 miles within the 2014 calendar year – that's 5.5 miles a day for those doing the math.
While I don't at all expect everyone, or anyone for that matter, to follow in my resolution, I hope you make one. Keep it attainable and make it specific. Find a buddy or two, or 10, to help keep you on track and always remind yourself why you committed to the resolution in the first place. Have a great 2014 everyone, and good luck on your resolutions!

I was one of the people last year that jumped on the MacHeist bundle with glee because it had some interesting applications like Disco and Delicious Library, but I did it mainly for TextMate.
To this day I use TextMate almost every day. The others, not so much. Disco once in a while and I'm not sure that I even installed most of the others.
My reasoning has nothing to do with the "OMG teh developers are getting screwed" fest that went on around this last year. The developers wouldn't do it if they didn't see value. So, with that in mind and looking at the list of applications this year I can reason my way out of doing this year's heist.
While I really like the concept of 1Password MacHeist actually did something weird: They gave away Wallet during the missions. I've been taking advantage of OS X's keychains lately and getting Wallet for free makes this hard to rationalize.
Coversutra is an interesting program as well, but unfortunately lies in a very crowded space where a wealth of free programs makes it hard to justify paying for something especially when screen real estate is at a premium and being able to focus in on what I'm doing is getting increasingly hard. Less is more in this case.
While I really should pay more attention to my finances, and while a program like ChaChing would certainly help that, I'm more interesting in just being able to generalize a budget so I can see what my monthly kinds of expenses I'm incurring so I can see trends. That's all. I don't need complex cross referencing of my accounts.
I can't comment too much on what iStopMotion can or cannot do, but I know that I don't need it.
There are two reasons why I don't need Awaken. 1. Last year they gave away Alarm Clock Pro. 2. We just bought an iHome something or other so I wake up to an iPod already.
I already own a license for AppZapper. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have it and who likes to check out various different applications – this helps clean out the cobwebs.
Last year was a big year for GTD, and TaskPaper is a very nice concept due to its pure simplicity. However he's allowed others to pretty much copy the concept and there's a plugin for TextMate that does the same thing. So, its hard to justify this one.
I already own a CSSEdit license and would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone who builds web pages. If I didn't already have this program it would be the program that caused me to buy the bundle.
I like Snapz Pro X. But… yeah, there are easy free replacements for doing screenshots and even screen movies. Capture Me has served me well in the past.
Being a creative professional (I'll admit that could be a loose definition 😉 ) I just don't need Pixelmator. I do like the concept and having played with a demo I think its going to be a good tool. But not needing it because I already own other products I think the bling factor overshadows the functionality. The UI looks good until you start to use it. Plus, The Gimp has come so far in recent years I'm actually starting to be a proponent of the open source option.
I don't play games on my Mac, so, Wingnuts is king of lost on me.
So, while I'm all in favor of bundles like this I've essentially talked myself out of it. There's just not enough value for me this year. Though, I will admit that I do appreciate some of the freebies from the missions. I'll get good use out of Wallet, Catalog, Overflow and Wire Tap Pro.
I was really hoping that there would be things that I could use this year 'cause I'm still using some of last year's items, plus some items from other efforts like the MacAppADay giveaway last year (I bought an upgrade to YummyFTP). Unfortunately not. Maybe next year.
So, they added VectorDesigner and because of the hype it got from MacWorld this year I was actually tempted again to buy the bundle.
Then, I got bad news from a friend: while it seemed like a very capable application its inability to parse EPS files makes it much ado about nothing. I can understand not opening AI files, but EPS? C'mon, any self respecting drawing application has to be able to work with EPS. On top of that – while it can export EPS it only exports raster EPS and has mediocre anti-aliasing at that.
Bummer. At least for free/low cost drawing there's still InkScape.
I got an email back from VectorDesigner tech support noting that while EPS import is being worked on for an upcoming major release, regular EPS export worked just fine when desiring vectors. There's just one simple caveat: don't use any special effects. Hey, there's a way to sell the program! How's about you do what every other self respecting EPS writer does – write the core EPS data so that it can be used by anything that understands EPS but then take your proprietary stuff and wrap it so that it renders properly in VectorDesigner but then gets discarded by those that don't recognize it… just a thought. It would be a ton more portable than a raster conversion.


For the cooking challenge this week, I was craving something fruity, warm and filling -- a mix of the fruity tropical goodness I ate when I was on vacation in combination with something warm and comforting to make me less sad about the snow.
I settled on a delicious bowl of oatmeal topped with berry goodness.
I promise there is actually oatmeal under there.
Topped with raspberry Chobani, blackberries and something new I stumbled across in the grocery store.
Yogi granola crisps in strawberry. Mmmm these things were yummy and would probably make a great yogurt topper or bowl of cereal on their own.
Speaking of fruit and all reminds me that I have a big race coming up in April, the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler.
Because of everything going on with my hip the last few weeks, I haven't been actually training for the race. I've been running when I can and trying to keep up my endurance with cross training.
After my three successful runs on the cruise, I'm hoping I can start officially training next week. That will leave me approximately seven weeks to get in shape for the race. I'm confident that's enough time to get ready.
I'm working on my training plan now, and tentatively I will be running three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays with a couple days of cross training as time allows. A more fleshed out plan to come.
I'm looking forward to shaking off these winter blahs and getting back at it.
I didn't get into cherry blossom! I am planning to either find a bib or run it as a bandit. You can totally be ready in 7 weeks!
Those granola strawberry things look delish.
That breakfast looks really yummy.
You can totally do it in 7 weeks.
I eat a ton of cereal too, and one thing I started doing was buying the dehydrated berries; you know the "Just Blackberries" tubs. They don't go bad, they rehydrate (some) in the cereal and taste amazing. I also use dried Pomegrante seeds.
That oatmeal sounds yummy! And looks great!
I TOO am confident you can do the 10-miler! Just make sure to listen to your body!
I never eat cereal, it just doesn't appeal to me but in the picture with the berries, the cereal looks so delicious!
I like your three day running plan, it looks so do-able!
That breakfast looks great. I usually do oatmeal about once a week and will create a fruit smoothie to drink. Generally, half the smoothie ends up in the oatmeal as flavoring.

Today's theme is Ancient Rome. I was attempting the laurel wreaths you often see adorning their heads.
Whilst I didn't have a leaf pattern, I thought the roses were pretty.
Still a fair few time periods coming up so stay tuned!
This is so pretty. I have this stamping plate and had never noticed the roses before!
This is such a great idea! I would've never thought of doing laurel wreaths!
I've never seen a stamp thingy before. Soooo cool!

Black Book: Resale Values Settle Into Seasonal Decline
Prices for pre-owned sporty cars such as the Dodge Challenger fell by 3.3% in October, leading all segments in seasonal depreciation, according to the latest report from Black Book.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — According to Black Book data, the average price of a used vehicle for model years 2013–'17 fell by 1.9% during October, a noticeable drop compared to the previous month when values were unchanged. The 1.9% change was also the largest monthly price decline dating back to January.
Car values fell by 2.4% and trucks were down 1.6%. Unlike September, when eight segments either retained their value or saw increased, every truck and car segment saw a decline in October. Subcompact crossovers saw the lowest depreciation at -0.4%. Vehicles in this segment finished the month with an average segment value of $11,926, an 8.9% decline from a year ago.
Sporty cars saw the largest depreciation on the month at -3.3%. Vehicles in this segment finished October with an average segment value of $13,529, a 9.1% year-over-year decline. Two other segments finished the month at -2.5% depreciation or greater: full-size cars at -2.6% and minivans at -2.5%.
Subcompacts were one of five segments to suffer a monthly depreciation of 1% or less, joined by full-size SUVs and CUVs, full-size vans, and compact vans (-0.9%) and subcompact luxury CUVs (-0.6%).
"It appears as though we've settled into normal depreciation patterns for the remainder of the year. Our residual forecasts reflect depreciation increasing next year," said Anil Goyal, Black Book's executive vice president of operations. "Increasing interest rates, potentially higher incentives on new vehicles and rising used supply levels, particularly in the compact SUV segment, will be key factors driving the trend in 2019."

Little Free Library Celebrates 10 Years
New book illustrates how to create and curate your own Little Free Library.
Crystal Liepa
Ten years ago, Todd H. Bol built the first Little Free Library. He put it in front of his home in Hudson, Wis. and created a movement propelled by book lovers around the world with more than 80,000 Little Free Libraries in all 50 states and in 91 countries. Bol was lost to us last year after a battle with pancreatic cancer, but his libraries are sure to remain a lasting legacy.
Furthering that legacy includes a new book published in cooperation with the Little Free Library organization titled Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds: 12 Miniature Structures You Can Build by Phillip Schmidt. It contains detailed illustrations and photography covering every step in the planning and design of 12 different structures, including a replica of the first Little Free Library built by Bol in the style of a one-room schoolhouse with a bell on top.
Bol's original design is available for the first time according to Margaret Aldrich, spokesperson for the Little Free Library, a nonprofit organization. Aldrich is also a writer and published a book in 2015 titled The Little Free Library Book that details the history of the movement along with interviews with Little Free Library owners and a resource guide. "I loved working on the book and the organization," Aldrich says. "I got to talk to so many people about why they wanted to [build a Little Free Library] and the impact it has on their community. Whether in the Ukraine, Brazil or South Korea, people want universal things like sharing the love of reading and building community."
Aldrich says that over the years, one of the most visited pages on the organization's website is about how to build a Little Free Library. "People get so creative and we love it when people build their own and register it with us," she says. Many people were requesting more details on how to build one, so when the Little Free Library organization was approached by the Quarto Group, a book publisher, to create a DIY book about building Little Free Libraries, Aldrich thought it was a wonderful idea.
Schmidt had worked with Quarto before. "He's such a pro," Aldrich says of Schmidt's ability to write all of the detailed instructions and create the step-by-step photography. Aldrich wrote chapter five, providing practical information about how to register your Little Free Library and curating your books. But what she says is really special about this book is that Bol wrote the foreword. "It's the last thing he put out into the world before he passed away," she says.
The book makes a wonderful keepsake and gift for any DIY-er, book lover or anyone who cherishes the contributions to literacy and community offered up by a local persona and organization.
Other 10-year celebratory events include a giveaway of 10 commemorative Little Free Libraries to communities in need. Visit littlefreelibrary.org to see the winners and get connected. The Little Free Library movement is for everybody, no matter your age or economic background. Share a book in a Little Free Library or start your own. You can do it. It's easy and impactful.

Early Years Professionals are integral to supporting the millions of working parents in today's society. Irrespective of what career path a young person will choose at some point in their lives, if they choose to have a family they will come to rely on flexible, quality childcare to support them.
The Careers Strategy states that each school must have a named Careers Leader and that 20 Careers Hubs will be set up across the country - each supported by a Gatsby Coordinator from the CEC.
As the largest UK network of childcare recruitment agencies, Tinies Childcare are in a unique position to raise awareness of the large number of opportunities for employment in the childcare industry and would welcome the opportunity to work in partnership with local schools and their careers advisor network to promote the opportunities that exist in the childcare sector.
So if you are planning a careers event or looking for support, simply email us with your contact details and postcode and your local branch will be in touch.
Each of our Tinies branches have a customised "Why Work In Childcare" leaflet for their area to promote the benefits of working in childcare to students in this age group. You can also download web banners and posters from our campaign marketing page to raise awareness of the campaign and the job opportunities that exist once students are qualified.
Tinies are also able to offer some work experience opportunities to young people and are encouraging more nursery settings to consider offering work experience placements.
Signing up is easy and is done through a secure online website. Once you are registered as a school, you can then organise an event and volunteers from within the childcare sector can receive invites from you to come and speak. Volunteers are rated by schools staff and 96% of teachers who have held an Inspiring the Future event would recommend the service to a colleague.
In England alone over 80% of secondary schools have registered and are able to contact locally registered volunteers by email and at no cost. Over 40,000 volunteers, from archaeology to zoology and now the childcare sector, have registered nationally, ranging in experience level from apprentices to CEOs.
Our inaugural childcare career speed networking event in London which was hosted by Tinies Childcare, Education & Employers Charity, and the Department for Education demonstrated what can be achieved when schools and local employers work in partnership.
This event gave students an opportunity to meet and talk to professionals working across the childcare industry. The event successfully challenged student's perceptions and demonstrated how the sector embraces gender diversity. It showed young people that childcare is not just about caring for children. There are a number of support roles required behind the scenes for which IT skills, business acumen, marketing and customer service skills are required to operate a childcare business or provide services to support the sector. Broadening their understanding of the choices that exist to help them to make decisions on their career and subject choices at school.
Equally, such events offer an ideal solution to support the Gatsby Benchmarks which advise that every young person by 2020 should have been offered by their school, seven encounters with employers. At least one a year from Y7 to Y13.
Signing up to Inspiring the Future is quick and easy and you only have to offer up 1 hour per year. Please make sure you include Inspiring a Future in Childcare in the "How Did You Hear About Us" section.
Please support us to make a difference by inspiring students to consider a career in the childcare industry.
The nanny immediately developed a great rapport with the children and has already become an invaluable support. The children look forward to her coming to look after them.

See The Musician That Made $185 Million In 2019 To Become The World's Highest-Paid Celebrity
Taylor Swift begins the Lover era at No. 1 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, pulling in pretax income of $185 million over the past year, her biggest earnings total yet. Her estimated pay grew 131%, after clocking in at $80 million in 2018 (this year's full list can be found here).
In 2018, Netflix brought the Reputation Stadium Tour to living rooms on New Years Eve, after acquiring the exclusive rights to the tour for a live concert special. The streaming giant's payout and endorsement deals with Apple, AT&T and Diet Coke added millions to Swift's coffers.
In November 2018, Swift parted ways with her long-time home, Big Machine Label Group, to join Universal Music Group's Republic Records, a deal that according to multiple Forbes sources, could be worth up to $200 million.
Swift's label swap re-appeared in headlines last week, after the singer penned a Tumblr post advocating for the ownership of her vast music catalog that is still under the control of BMLG. She criticized mega manager Scooter Braun, after learning that his media holdings company, Ithaca Holdings, had acquired BMLG for $300 million.
Swift alleges that BMLG offered her a chance to earn back her albums piecemeal—one album for every new album she put out—but says she declined with fears that BMLG chief Scott Borchetta would sell the label. Meanwhile, Borchetta wrote in a letter that Swift "had every chance in the world to own not just her master recordings, but every video, photograph, everything associated to her career."
Starting with Lover's planned Aug. 23 release, Swift stated that she'll retain ownership of "anything" she creates with UMG, which bodes well for her continued inclusion on the Celebrity 100 list.
