Education in the media: Thursday 22 February 2018
Posted by: Media, Posted on: 22 February 2018 - Categories: Admissions, Education Standards, Statistics, Universities
Today's Education in Media blog looks at news around the schools admissions code, the University College Unions strike action , education export statistics and Minister Nick Gibb's editorial on education standards.
Today, Thursday 22 February, The Telegraph reported on a letter sent from Minister Nick Gibb to academies and local authorities outlining proposed changes to the Schools Admission Code. In the letter, the Minister calls for children from overseas who have previously been in care to be given the "highest priority" for places, where a school is oversubscribed.
The Telegraph article claims the proposed changes will mean schools should prioritise foreign children who grew up in care "over British youngsters".
This is misinterpreted – this is about children, who originally were looked after children from outside England, that have been adopted by a family that is permanently residing in England.
Admission authorities in England can't prioritise on the basis of nationality. It relates to children who will require a school place in England because they are living here, and have been adopted by a UK family from a care system in another country.
Children adopted from care can remain vulnerable and may have experienced abuse and neglect prior to being placed in care; supporting their education is part of ensuring they have the same opportunity as all other children to thrive.
We keep the admissions system under regular review and consider what changes we can make to ensure the admissions system continues to work effectively.
A DfE spokesperson said:
Children in care are amongst the most vulnerable in our society and wherever possible they should be admitted to the school which is best able to meet their needs. School admission authorities have been required to give looked after children the highest priority in their admission arrangements since 2007. This priority was extended to previously looked after children in 2012, to ensure that all children who receive highest priority whilst in care of the local authority continue to receive that priority once they have left care.
The department is looking to amend the Admissions Code, to ensure that children previously in care outside of the country are given the highest priority when considering school admissions.
Education export statistics
Today, Thursday 22 February, the Department published new figures highlighting just how much our education sector is generating for the UK economy - estimated to be £19.3bn, an increase of 19% since 2010.
The new figures show:
Total education exports and transnational education activity was estimated to be £19.3billion in 2015, an increase of 3% since the previous year and an increase of 19% since 2010.
Two-thirds of the revenue (£12.9 billion) from total education exports and transnational education activity is generated by higher education.
The majority of the revenue came from international students (non-EU and EU) who contributed £11.5billion in terms of living expenditure and tuition fees to total education exports and transnational education activity.
Education Secretary Damian Hinds said:
The UK is a world-leading destination for education, study and research, and we want this to continue. I am delighted by the latest figures showing how much our education exports, including international study, are generating for the UK economy - estimated to be £19.3bn, an increase of 19% since 2010.
International students play a vital role in our society, bring greater diversity to our campuses and a welcome income to our wider economy. Their contribution alone is continuing to rise year-on-year, with today's data showing an approximated £11.5bn contribution to our economy. This is particularly encouraging as we have since seen a rise in the number of both EU and international applicants to our universities.
Minister for Investment, Graham Stuart said:
Education broadens minds, provides the foundation for open and prosperous societies and gives Britain the skills we need to remain globally competitive.
As an international economic department we're building on strong educational export growth, up 3 per cent on the previous year. Our specialist education team links UK providers to our extensive diplomatic network of 108 markets around the globe and has already helped more than 100 UK schools expand internationally.
Today, Thursday 22 February, the Telegraph published an editorial piece from Minister Nick Gibb on reforming education standards.
Minister Nick Gibb writes that raising school standards for pupils from all backgrounds is the government's driving force, and sets out an ambition that all Commonwealth countries should provide every child with at least 12 years of quality education by 2030.
University College Union strike action
Today staff in around 67 universities have walked out in a dispute over their pension scheme. This is the first of 14 days of strike action that will run until March 16.
There has been wide spread coverage of the strikes today. This includes prominent coverage running on the BBC and Sky news, as well as print coverage in the Times, Guardian, FT, 'I' and Mail.
Universities are responsible for their own pension provision, which is overseen by the independent Pensions Regulator. However, we are concerned about the impact of the strikes on students. Students rightly deserve value for money when they invest so heavily in our education system, and particularly at this crucial time with many taking their final exams soon.
Responding to the strike action today Universities Minister Sam Gyimah said:
I am deeply concerned about the impact this strike will have on students, who deserve to receive the education that they are paying for. For many, this is a vital time in their studies.
I am speaking to both Universities UK (UUK) and the University and College Union (UCU). I call on them to get back to the negotiating table, without pre-conditions, and to find a solution that avoids further disruption to students.
Where any strike action takes place, we expect universities to keep a close eye on the impact on students, and to put in place measures to maintain the quality of education that they should receive.

Every time I see a picture of a dog in snow I feel a little tinge of jealousy. The nice lady from FIDO Friendly has written a series of posts for All Things Dog Blog on ski resorts that are dog-friendly. The second post is running today and mom seems very pleased. We sure wish we could go snow skiing, but there's no snow in Florida. Imagine that?!!
These posts are good news for all you pups out there that don't want to be left behind on a ski vacation. After all, isn't there a saying about "Leave no dog behind?" I'd like to go too. Who can pick me up?

Action Video Games Make You Smarter
By Stephanie Mlot
14 Nov 2014, 7:30 p.m.
Next time your parents or spouse scolds you about your video game habits, just tell them you're exercising your brain.
According to a new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, playing action titles can improve not only those skills taught in the game, but also general learning capabilities.
"Prior research by our group and others has shown that action gamers excel at many tasks. In this new study, we show they excel because they are better learners," Daphne Bavelier, a research professor in brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester, said in a statement.
"And they become better learners," she said, "by playing the fast-paced action games."
Sure, puzzles and word games are great for training your mind, but action titles actually help nourish our brains.
As Bavelier explained, the brain is constantly building new templates of the world, in order to sharpen its prediction skills—whether listening to a conversation, driving, or even performing surgery. "The better the template, the better the performance," she said. "And now we know playing action video game actually fosters better templates."
In one part of the research phase, a set of participants was tasked with playing 50 hours of Call of Duty over the course of nine weeks; the other half played 50 hours of The Sims for the same time.
Then, based on a test completed before and after the "training" period, the researchers found that action game players did in fact improve their templates. The control group, meanwhile, probably spent many sleepless nights worrying about their animated characters' energy and excrement levels.
"When they began the perceptual learning task, action video gamers were indistinguishable from non-action gamers; they didn't come to the task with a better template," Bavelier said. "Instead, they developed better templates for the task much, much faster, showing an accelerated learning curve."
The effects, according to the study, are permanent. So even if you binge on Grand Theft Auto and Assassin's Creed for the winter, your brain will continue to thank you later.
Bavelier's team is still investigating which characteristics in action games are key to boosting players' learning.
"Games other than action video games may be able to have the same effect," she said. "They may need to be fast-paced, and require the player to divide his or her attention, and make predictions at different time scales."
Sorry—Candy Crush Saga probably won't cut it.

2020 WINNER, THE LUCY SHELTON CASWELL RESEARCH AWARD AT OSU
My current research project, Queer Beyond Here: Animated Sex and How to Get Used to It, won the 2020 Lucy Shelton Caswell Research Award from the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library at Ohio State University for its first chapter, "Bugs and Solly Say Hello." My work dives deep into the life and comic art of the nearly forgotten cartoonist, George O. Frink, who died in obscurity in a mental institution in Chicago, and who, as my work builds a wealth of evidence toward, may have not only been the first gay American cartoonist, but a massive influence on cartooning to come.
For more information about this project, check out Ohio State University's official announcement here.
My research funded by the Lucy Shelton Caswell Award will see me spending two weeks over the summer of 2020 in the Billy Ireland Library, reading deep into Frink's comic strips, as well as those of his contemporaries in the early Chicago Newspaper Cartoon scene.
My investigation into Frink, however, hits the road as well as the books. During a January 2020 investigative trip to Chicago and Elgin, IL, my colleague, Alyssa Dewees, and I visited the Elgin State Hospital (the site of Frink's death), the remnants of his residences across the Chicago area, and the site of Frink's burial, which had been lost altogether before our investigation. Moving forward, I will be conducting research at the Gerber/Hart Library, several University of Chicago collections, and at various sites of interest throughout Chicago.
LUCY AND SOPHIE SPEAK!
In conjunction with my work on the 2020 Lucy Shelton Caswell Award, I will be producing and distributing the audio drama, Lucy and Sophie SPEAK!, an adaptation of Lucy and Sophie say Goodbye (1905). Lucy and Sophie Say Goodbye sees Lucy and Sophie (molded in the model of the Gibson girls) who never seem to be able wrap up their prolonged goodbye kisses. The project features Alyssa Dewees as Lucy, Allyson Blinkhorn as Sophie, and myself as the various flustered men of Chicago who can never quite get a word in between their passionate (and controversial) kisses.
Lucy and Sophie SPEAK! is slated for an August 2021 release, in conjunction with the publication of the results of my research. You can check out a preview below.

Cribbs Causeway mall extension decision date announced by Prime Minister
Major objections have been raised about the £300m development which would almost double the mall's size
Patrick DalyBristol Post parliamentary correspondent
Bosses at Cribbs Causeway mall will find out in a matter of weeks whether their planned £300m extension will be allowed to go ahead.
The expansion, which would nearly double the size of the out-of-town shopping centre, was put on ice in March last year when Sajid Javid, then the Communities Secretary, called for a review into the development and its impact.
After a hold-up of more than a year, the Prime Minister has revealed ministers will make a decision on whether the build can go ahead by the first week of August.
In November 2016, South Gloucestershire Council gave The Mall at Cribbs Causeway permission to build a 35,000 square metre extension with dozens of new shops and restaurants, a hotel, flats and an indoor ski centre.
Other plans for Cribbs Causeway could see a new hotel, shops and even an indoor ski area built
The investment came with guarantees to invest in transport infrastructure, with promises of a new bus station being created for local and MetroBus services.
But the scale of the scheme, predicted to create 3,000 new jobs if it goes ahead, saw objections raised by Bristol retailers and politicians in the region.
Why Bristol grandparents have blocked Government offices
During the planning application process Peter Cooper, the director of the Bristol Alliance, which runs Cabot Circus, said it could lose £123m of trade and 1,500 jobs over five years while George Ferguson, Bristol mayor at the time, also objected to the scheme.
In January 2017, Weston-super-Mare MP John Penrose raised concerns about the impact it would have on the resort's high street.
The Mall at Cribbs Causeway wants to build a 35,000sqm extension
The Conservative backbencher said Weston stood to lose £39m in trade by 2021 if Cribbs Causeway mall was allowed to expand, making the town's "rebirth harder to achieve".
The scale of the development and the level of opposition convinced Cabinet minister Mr Javid, who grew up in Bristol, to halt the building plans and announce an independent public inquiry, which took place in September.
Bristol's Carluccio's restaurants at threat as chain announces mass closures and job losses
But after a 15 month delay, Theresa May confirmed on Wednesday that the Government will make a decision on whether to approve the plans by August 2.
The announcement came after Jack Lopresti, Tory MP for Filton and Bradley Stoke, pressed Mrs May for answers at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.
Mr Lopresti, a prominent backer of the development in his constituency, called on James Brokenshire, the recently-appointed Communities Secretary, to "make a good decision quickly" and put an end to the construction hold-up.
"Fifteen months ago, the then Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government called in the planned expansion of the Mall at Cribbs Causeway in my constituency," said the former Tory Bristol City councillor.
When Metrobus services could start running at Bristol Parkway station
"The plan represents huge economic benefit to the Bristol and South Gloucestershire area, and there are 3,000 construction jobs, 3,750 permanent jobs and 150 new homes at stake, as well as a significant amount of infrastructure investment.
"Will the Prime Minister urge the new Secretary of State to start as he means to go on and make a good decision quickly?" asked Mr Lopresti.

Mrs May replied, telling the Ministry of Defence aide that a decision would be announced before the summer was out.
"Obviously, my [Mr Lopresti] refers to the independent public inquiry, and after that took place the then Communities and Local Government Secretary called in the decision, and the new Housing, Communities and Local Government Secretary is considering the inspector's report," said the PM.
"I understand that the Secretary of State hopes to issue his decision on or before the published target date of 2 August."
Philip Vaughan, director of development and construction management at M&G Real Estate, speaking on behalf of the joint venture owners, said: "We are convinced the application presents a significant investment for South Gloucestershire, and the South West as a whole, with the potential for almost 3,000 permanent new additional jobs at The Mall."

Coastguard rescue officer awarded BEM in New Year Honours list
Claire Hayhurst, PA
31 December 2022, 5:41 am ·1-min read
A coastguard rescue officer who is retiring after more than 40 years of service has been awarded a British Empire Medal in the New Year Honours list.
Martin Rayner signed up as an auxiliary coastguard in April 1980 and went on to play a key role in more than 2,000 rescues near the Isle of Wight.
He volunteered with the Scouts for 17 years, as well as with the Isle of Wight Youth Concert Band for 17 years, and helped his local community during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"I'm really honoured," Mr Rayner said, who was awarded the BEM for services to maritime safety.
"My father was in the service before me so between us we have been a part of the coastguard family for around 70 years.
"Being a coastguard rescue officer for the last 42 years has been a way of life for me and my family.
Colleagues paid tribute to Martin Rayner (PA)
"I have had a fantastic time in the service, feeling that I have given something back to the community.
"My family have supported me throughout and I couldn't have done it without them."
James Potter, Ventnor Coastguard Rescue Team's station officer, said Mr Rayner would be missed by the whole team.
"He's a coastguard that many have and do look up to with his experience and professional attitude," Mr Potter said.
"Achieving this great milestone is something very special indeed. We wish him a long, healthy and happy retirement."

Night At The Museum (2006) – movie review
24th March 2022 26th December 2006 by Phase9
Movie Review by Vivienne Messenger
Starring: Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs
Director: Shawn Levy
Do you remember as a child wandering around a vast, major natural history museum in awe of the towering exhibits and sometimes fearsome 3D models of extinct prehistoric animals? While some exhibits were scary and interactive and kept your interest at a peak, others like the dioramas became bland as your eyes glazed over at the static, motionless depictions of a past era that were difficult to envisage and grasp.
What if they could have come to life and re-enacted the scene they were set in? Not as a film – but for real!
Well that's what happens to Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), the new night security guard at the museum of natural history. Dropped in at the dead end by his new boss, he settles down to the eerie silence of his night shift but before he can read his shift instruction sheet, which will apparently answer all the questions he needs to know, the exhibits come to life – and he's their target! From a Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing him along corridors to Attila the Hun intent on pulling his limbs off, Larry is under siege. Can he survive the mayhem that erupts within these walls and survive until morning and the end of his shift?
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM is a brilliantly entertaining, live action combined with CGI, adventure comedy that brings to life a child's imagination. Ben Stiller along with his supporting cast especially buddy Owen Wilson, Robin Williams and Ricky Gervais keep the action coming. It was nice to see old timers Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs playing the baddies and getting in on the action, while Carla Gugino (SPY KIDS trilogy) and Kim Raver (24 TV series) play Larry's hopefully-to-be girlfriend and ex-wife respectively.
This is one of those movies that's really great fun for all the family to watch and is skilfully directed by Shawn Levy (CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN) allowing your imagination to run wild.

# Allow collaboration on merge requests across forks

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/merge_requests/17395) in GitLab 10.6.

When a user opens a merge request from a fork, they are given the option to allow
upstream members to collaborate with them on the source branch. This allows
the members of the upstream project to make small fixes or rebase branches
before merging, reducing the back and forth of accepting external contributions.

This feature is available for merge requests across forked projects that are
publicly accessible.

When enabled for a merge request, members with merge access to the target
branch of the project will be granted write permissions to the source branch
of the merge request.

## Enabling commit edits from upstream members

The feature can only be enabled by users who already have push access to the
source project and only lasts while the merge request is open. Once enabled,
upstream members will also be able to retry the pipelines and jobs of the
merge request:

1. Enable the contribution while creating or editing a merge request.

   ![Enable contribution](img/allow_collaboration.png)

1. Once the merge request is created, you'll see that commits from members who
   can merge to the target branch are allowed.

   ![Check that contribution is enabled](img/allow_collaboration_after_save.png)

## Pushing to the fork as the upstream member

If the creator of the merge request has enabled contributions from upstream
members, you can push directly to the branch of the forked repository.

Assuming that:

- The forked project URL is `git@gitlab.com:thedude/awesome-project.git`.
- The branch of the merge request is `update-docs`.

Here's how the process would look like:

1. First, you need to get the changes that the merge request has introduced.
   Click the **Check out branch** button that has some pre-populated
   commands that you can run.

   ![Check out branch button](img/checkout_button.png)

1. Use the copy button to copy the first command and paste them
   in your terminal:

   ```sh
   git fetch git@gitlab.com:thedude/awesome-project.git update-docs
   git checkout -b thedude-awesome-project-update-docs FETCH_HEAD
   ```

   This will fetch the branch of the forked project and then create a local branch
   based off the fetched branch.

1. Make any changes you want and commit.
1. Push to the forked project:

   ```sh
   git push git@gitlab.com:thedude/awesome-project.git thedude-awesome-project-update-docs:update-docs
   ```

   Note the colon (`:`) between the two branches. The above command will push the
   local branch `thedude-awesome-project-update-docs` to the
   `update-docs` branch of the `git@gitlab.com:thedude/awesome-project.git` repository.

<!-- ## Troubleshooting

Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
questions that you know someone might ask.

Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->

HomeOur AreasCongleton
Family rejection of sexuality highlighted
A disabled Congleton man rejected by his family over his sexuality planned to spend Christmas alone in a "cold flat" with a "49p pasty" for dinner, according to one of the country's top columnists.
Owen Jones, a political commentator for the Guardian, wrote in a recent opinion piece that many LGBTQ+ people were isolated at this time of year because they might otherwise face abuse from family members.
He used the case study of a man in Congleton, who said that his family "don't support homosexuality – it's not for religious reasons, they just don't like the 'concept' (in their words)".
With the effects of the cost of living crisis and the man surviving on disability benefits, Mr Jones said that the man could not "afford to decorate his cold flat and he expects to eat a 49p pasty on Christmas Day".
Research from the LGBTQ+ anti-abuse charity Galop found that almost three in 10 LGBTQ+ people had experienced abuse from a family member, which rises to more than four in 10 trans and non-binary people.
Richard Walton is the secretary of Congleton Pride, which will hold its fourth annual celebration of inclusion and diversity this year.
In response to the case study, he said: "It's tragic in this day and age that people in those awful situations have to walk away and spend time solo so that they don't face abuse. It's a sad indictment on the parents and their lack of understanding."
When asked how activists could combat such situations, he added: "I think it's difficult, but education is important, and it needs to happen early. People at a younger age have to become more aware of LGBTQ+ issues. All you can do is talk to people.
"Congleton Pride tries to normalise things – we see LGBTQ+ people out in the community having fun and doing completely normal things and it becomes part of daily life. It's not a fringe group."
Tribute to a 'pioneer' of farming diversity

A hard Brexit could cost the UK's automotive, tech, healthcare and consumer good sectors £17bn a year, as well as halving farmers incomes, according to new research.
The news comes after seven countries rejected a key part of Theresa May's plan to reintegrate into global networks – highlighting her government's vulnerability as it seeks to negotiate new trade deals outside of the EU.
A report by global law firm Baker McKenzie found that lost exports to the EU in the event of a hard Brexit would hit automotive, tech, healthcare and consumer goods manufacturers hard.
The four sectors account for 42 per cent of the UK's manufacturing GDP and 45 per cent of manufactured exports to the EU.
The report forecasts the extent to which increases in costs to UK exports could lead to EU consumers switching to a domestically produced alternative or to a different exporting country, and the subsequent decline in UK export revenues.
The impact of a hard Brexit is most notable in the consumer goods and automotive sectors, with a predicted £7.9 billion loss in annual UK to EU export revenue in the automotive sector and a £5.2 billion loss in the consumer goods sector.
Baker McKenzie trade partner Jenny Revis said: "These figures indicate the extent to which the UK's key manufacturing sectors are likely to be hit by the impact of a hard Brexit.
Meanwhile a separate report found that agricultural incomes could be slashed by half if the government crashes out of the EU with no deal.
The report, by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), urges farmers to boost their productivity to prepare for Brexit.
The average British farm is predicted to see its income fall from £38,000 a year to £15,000 if the UK removes barriers to low cost food producers from abroad. If the UK imposed protectionist trade barriers, incomes would drop to £20,000.
The reports come after the government suffered a crushing setback in one of the only areas it is has seen progress in during the EU negotiations: that of post-Brexit agricultural tariffs.
In August, Britain and the EU agreed that EU's WTO quotas for international agricultural products will be reduced with Britain taking a share of them after Brexit.
The agreement hinged on the fact that outside countries would be "no worse off" because of the deal, however the US, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, New Zealand, Thailand and Uruguay have rejected the arrangement.
The deal was rebuffed by the group because under the current arrangements the quotas can be spread throughout the EU, meaning that if a product is not selling in one country it can be sold in another. However once the UK leaves the EU, its share of the quotas will no longer be transferable to other EU member states.
The setback was all the more painful for May because her government is attempting to leverage Britain's long established relationships with the US and commonwealth countries such as Canada and New Zealand to achieve favourable trade deals.
The government's ambitions to negotiate a trade deal with the mercurial Trump administration are looking increasingly unrealistic.
Just last week, it was revealed the government was powerless to prevent the US slapping massive tariffs on aircraft manufacturer Bombardier, potentially hitting thousands of jobs in Northern Ireland.

Good Little shop, only problem is it is very Little, but then again the northern end of the ridge farm is unused as the vets is not going in now as far as I know, maybe someone else has a bit more info on it.

In that case I hope the Co-Op take the rest of the space... its great to have it there but its too small - especially as there's no space to queue for tills leading to confusion about whos next for which till.
It certainly seems busy enough to sustain a slightly bigger store.
Chris Dobey reaches first ever European Tour final to all but assure World Matchplay qualification
Bedlington darts ace Chris Dobey reached his first ever European Tour final on Sunday to all but secure his place in next month's World Matchplay.
Dobey was beaten 8-3 by Dave Chisnall in the final of the Danish Darts Open at Copenhagen's Brondby Hallen but enjoyed a superb run over the three-day competition.
The 29-year-old saw off Steve West, Ricky Evans, former World Championship finalist Kirk Shepherd, and Jose de Sousa before beating two-time major champion Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals to reach his first big-stage final.
'Hollywood' ran out of steam in the final, though, and despite taking a 2-0 lead, he won just one of the next nine legs as Chisnall secured his first European Tour title since 2013.
Dobey's run over the weekend now means he is all but assured of a World Matchplay debut next month, following on from his debut in the Premier League earlier this year.
The World Matchplay is widely considered the second most prestigious major in the darts calendar after the World Championships and after narrowly missing out on qualification for each of the last two years Dobey is delighted he has secured a long overdue debut in the competion.

Croatia is well known as a country of many islands but lesser known as a country of many vineyards, ranging from the tiny unknowns to the award-winning gold medal wine producers.
With the wine industry blossoming since the independence of Croatia, the quality of the wine being produced is increasingly being recognised internationally. In 2009, Croatia stunned the wine world by taking eight gold medals at the illustrious Decanter Wine Awards, over and above the heavy weights of New Zealand and Chile. In 2016 Croatia won an amazing 72 medals at these same awards.
For those visiting Dubrovnik I can highly recommend a visit to d'VINO WINE BAR.Located in the heart of the Old Town at Palmotićeva ul. 4A. Open 10 am – 02am. d'Vino has an impressive selection of fine domestic and imported wine available by the glass, bottle, and tasting servings. They also organise wine tours …join a group for a day of fun, sun and wine..
The Cheese Platters at D'Vino are exceptional…paired with appropriate local fine wines. together with fresh in season strawberries, pate, sun-dried tomatoes, proscuitto, and dips.
For those visiting Split, I can highly recommend Zinfandel Food and Wine Bar located in the heart of old Split at Ul. Marka Marulića 2. At Zinfandel Food and Wine Bar there are over 100 bottled wines and an extensive range of 20 wines by the glass …a wine to suit every palate. Here you will find wines from Croatia's most renowned vineyards and wine tastings are available upon request. At Zinfandel Food and Wine Bar great care is taken in selecting their wines..most wines are delivered straight from the vineyards.
Listed below are some of Croatia's finest wines and many of my personal favourites…..

Digital wall clocks are very fashionable and popular in today's world. Usually, it is used in railway stations, air ports, shopping malls etc. At present, it's getting popularity for office use and even, it is being used in some homes in the bedrooms of young boys and girls.
These types of clocks come in various features and styles. Most of the digital clocks are small. Some are flip open style just like the large pocket watch. When the watch is in a suitcase the clock thus is protected inside from the bumps. Some small clocks also look like a cell phone. Top listed digital clocks are Slim Multi – Function Clock, Slim Fold – Away Clock / Calendar, Digital Clock, Deco Desk Clock, Rosewood Wall Clock, Silver Arch Clock, Gyroscopic Clock with Wood Base, Cherry-Finish Desk Clock w/Silver Bezel, Flex Man Digital Clock, Ellipse Clock, Spinning Desk Clock, Metallic Clock and more.
Digital wall clocks can be used in the kitchen, near or inside the bedroom, living room, rest room, family living, and dining room or even in the laundry room.
The uses of a digital clock are no different than that of the general clocks. You can use them for the same reasons of using any other clocks. Since there are small spaces in the modern apartments or other living areas, finding a place for a large clock or even for a jumbo digital wall clock is hard. Therefore, a digital clock with slim body and stylish shape will serve the purposes of showing time along with saving space and decorating the space as well.
The most important use of this clock is during travelling or for alarm purposes. When we are preparing for a trip, we don't take a big luggage with us as it causes lots of hassles. Taking a clock is a must as we don't want to be late for anything or miss any part our life. Now after leaving from home, we can't make sure that we are moving with time unless we have access to a watch or clock. Even in the car or taxi that we use for transportation, has a small digital wall clock placed inside it.
Digital wall clock is a very stylish and comfortable way of keeping track of time these and it also lets you make the best use of your small spaces.
If you want to buy digital wall clock, you should know how to choose the ideal one. For more information, please visit my digital wall clock guide site.
HTC Salsa Get Ready For Socially Interactive Time!
Along with its immediate cousin, the HTC ChaCha, the HTC Salsa is all set to make the life of those users who are more socially inclined. With more features to help you out on your social networking, the Salsa is naturally targeted at the slightly more younger crowd. Though this is not to say that the smartphone handset from HTC Corporation is not meant for other who may equally socially active in their lives. The phone handset is slated for a June, 2011 release. Hence, it will be a couple of months more before the network service providers can get into action and introduce quite a few HTC Salsa deals.
For the time being, potential buyers will have to contend themselves with the knowledge that the Salsa will start selling though the online retailer Expansys from June 17. 2011 onwards. Expansys has officially announced the date for both the HTC Salsa and the, by and large, similarly equipped HTC ChaCha for the mobile phone market place in the UK. The retailer has yet to mention an unlocked SIM price for the phone on which it will start selling to buyers across the UK market.
The HTC Salsa, HTC ChaCha, HTC 7 Pro, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire S,. HTC Max 4G, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Ozone, HTC Dream, HTC Touch Viva are some of the coming soon that the Taiwanese mobile phone maker has lined up for the coming few months. With a branded Facebook key on its front and other similar features that make for a very socially lively time, the Salsa does not leave any one in doubt as to for whom it is meant. All the same, the handset does possess other worthwhile features. This includes a vivid 3.4 inches wide capacitive touchscreen and 3G compatible connectivity. The five mega pixel camera device will be given company by the basic VGA snapper at the front. The handset itself will run on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread version of the operating system. Though the OS can also be the slightly upgraded 2.3.3 version also.

Just finished a 400 mile round trip towing a Popup camper with my 2018 Pacifica. Dry weight of the trailer is 2400 lbs (2500 lbs with roof top AC), it has trailer brakes, & I do not have the factory tow package. On the way home I weighed my Pacifica and trailer at a certified scale. 8060 lbs. This was with 3/4 tank of gas, family of 5 (3 young children), & gear.
First 200 miles was all in the rain, half highway (Flat), half back roads (some hills but nothing to big). Last 200 miles was all highway, dry, and mostly flat. Outside temps were in the 70's and low 80's.
-Oil, transmission, and other Temps were at most 10 % above normal for the speeds I was traveling. But still below the half way mark on the gauges.
-Trailer had brakes, and I gave myself space to stop, but I never felt like I could not stop in time for something. Including a time I had to slam on my brakes to avoid someone who cut me off.
- I also have a mechanical anti sway bar because the pop dealer recommended it.
- On flat highway I was able to drive 75 without any issues. This was in a 70 mph area and I did not feel comfortable any higher then 75 even then I mostly kept it below 72.
-With all the gear in the van plus the 250 tong weight there was 1-3 inches of sag in the suspension. Ride handling was fine, but I may consider air bags in the future.
-The pacifica transmission is without a doubt the week point in the whole towing system. It tends to stay in high gears for fuel efficiency, which was fine on the highway, but can make towing on hills difficult. This can be fixed by giving more gas, but requires a bit of a learning curve I still need to master.
- I did have to start the van from a dead stop on a small hill in the rain. This produced some front wheel slippage, but the van was still able to get going.
I have the Tekonsha 90250 Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Controller which I am not completely sold on. Highway braking was fine, but it tended to be jerky at low speeds. I found I had to use the hand held controller a few times to smooth out braking at low speeds. Also when braking down long hills there were issues with consistent braking. At no time did I feel like I was going to lose control of the van, and I have never towed a trailer with brakes before, so it may be technique. I tried to keep braking to short bursts.
Anyway, if you are considering a popup or other trailer below 2500 lbs dry weight the Pacifica can handle it well. I would avoid anything heavier as you will quickly reach the 8600 lb combined vehicle max.

I traveled nearly 2,000 miles with a full load in my van and a pop-up trailer weighing about 2500 lb during the April 13th snow storm from Seattle Washington to Austin Minnesota. I have the tow package with sway control and that definitely came in handy well I didn't experience a lot of ice and snow on the road there was lots of wind and the van stayed firmly on the road which was very nice. We averaged about 23 miles per gallon as I never went over 65 miles an hour given the rating on my trailer wheels. All in all I was thoroughly impressed with the towing capability and handling of the Pacifica.
As the o p stated I to have any electronic brake system that I installed you will need to get your own harness but the wiring is in place and easy to get to once you know where it's at use the Primus IQ from tekonsha and that helped tremendously. My advice is to make sure that you go ahead and follow the manufacturer's instructions on calibrating your brake controller as when I first started and I do not do that I've hardly felt an impact. Setting the right brake pressure made a world of difference.

@mattlreese What is the part number of the anti sway bar you added? Did you put it on your self? Thanks for the info!
You will need a special hitch it will look something like the link below, but with the correct rise for the van. I did not install mine, but it is raised at least 4 inches.

Sen. Osten Approves Raises For Long-Denied Health Care Workers
State Senator Cathy Osten (D-Sprague) joined a bipartisan vote in the state Senate today that gives thousands of unionized health care workers their first pay raise in over a decade – and avoids a harmful strike at the same time.
Sen. Osten joined a bipartisan 29-4 Senate vote on House Bill 5460 to give about 2,500 members of the SEIU 1199 labor union a raise of up to 5 percent beginning January 1, 2019. The workers staff about 170 group homes in Connecticut that care for physically and developmentally disabled state residents.
The workers now earn an average hourly wage of $14.19 an hour – about $30,000 a year – which is less than half the average household income in Connecticut. They have not received a cost of living adjustment since 2004.
"In the public hearing on this bill, we heard from group home operators all across the state about how important this bill is in attracting and retaining qualified, caring, hardworking people who, quite frankly, have one of the toughest jobs in Connecticut: caring for people with physical and developmental disabilities," Sen. Osten said. "These workers who are impacted by today's bill earn an average $14.19 an hour – less than $30,000 a year. That's less than half the average household income in Connecticut. And they haven't had a cost of living adjustment since 2004. I'm pleased that today's Senate vote was ultimately a bipartisan vote and that these personal care workers will get the long-delayed pay raise that they not only need, but have worked so hard to deserve."
The state House of Representatives had passed the same bill earlier in the week on a 88-62 vote, with just nine Republicans joining all Democrats to vote in favor. The bill now heads to the governor for his signature.


Every year the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival presents movies about Jewish-American life, the cinema of Israel and the legacy of the Holocaust. But this year's festival, which takes place at multiple venues Feb. 6-26, features several films that explore homosexuality and gender issues.
"We (saw) a tremendous number of films … that explored issues of the LGTBQ community, whether it be the process of discovering one's own sexuality or the difficult task of gaining acceptance from friends and family," says Jason Evans, co-chair of the selection committee, which evaluated 703 films to program this year's festival. Among those selected for inclusion is "Family in Transition," a documentary about an Israeli father of four who announces a wish to live as a woman.
"Tangentially related to that," says Evans, "we (saw) a good number of films about sexual harassment and women in the workplace." One that made the cut is "Working Woman," an Israeli workplace drama for the #MeToo era.
Over the course of three weeks, the 19th annual Atlanta Jewish Film Festival will show 76 narrative and documentary shorts and feature films representing 24 countries, says Evans. Of those, three are world premieres, six are North American premieres and two are U.S. premieres.
Special guests in attendance include director Lisa Dapolita, whose documentary "Love, Gilda" profiles "Saturday Night Live" star Gilda Radner, her battles with breast cancer and her marriage to Gene Wilder.
The program includes several anniversary screenings, including the 1979 comedy "The Frisco Kid," starring Wilder as a rabbi travelling the Wild West with a gruff bank robber played by Harrison Ford.
"93Queen." In Paula Eiselt's documentary, a group of women in Brooklyn's orthodox community of Borough Park attempt to form an all-female ambulance service called Ezras Nashim as an alternative to the community's all-male establishment. Don't look for the kind of emergency medicine set pieces you'd find on "ER," but do look for a compelling cast of characters. Ezras Nashim director Rachel Freier emerges as particularly driven and complex as she faces the hostility of Hasidic traditionalists and internet trolls while balancing the demands of her family, faith and career ambitions. 1:25 p.m., Feb. 8, Atlantic Station; 11 a.m., Feb. 17, UA Tara Cinemas; 4:35 p.m., Feb. 17; Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center; 3:45 p.m., Feb. 18, Regal Perimeter Pointe.
"The Golem." In 17th century Europe, a childless, self-educated wife (Hani Furstenberg) uses forbidden knowledge to create an avenging golem to defend her home shtetl from invaders. This grisly but thoughtful, English-language horror film from Israeli filmmaking brothers Doron and Yoav Paz features makeup effects and moody cinematography evocative of Hammer Studios. The script takes ideas involving childbirth, motherhood and feminism, and connects them to such archetypal monsters as the golem and Frankenstein. 9 p.m., Feb. 9, Regal Atlantic Station; 11:20 a.m., Feb. 15, UA Tara Cinemas; 8:35 p.m., Feb. 23, Regal Perimeter Pointe.
"Enemies, A Love Story." The festival presents a 30th anniversary screening of this acclaimed dramedy from multiple Oscar nominee Paul Mazursky. Based on a novel by Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer and set in post-war New York City, the film depicts a Jewish refugee (Ron Silver) juggling his relationships with his dutiful second wife (Margaret Sophie Stein), his passionate mistress (Lena Olin) and his long-lost first wife (Anjelica Huston), whom he believed died in the Holocaust. Lena Olin, an Oscar nominee for best supporting actress for the role, will attend the screenings. 7 p.m., Feb. 14, Regal Perimeter Pointe; 1:50 p.m., Feb. 15, UA Tara Cinemas.
"Leona." A young muralist (Naian González Norvind) from a devout Jewish community in Mexico City faces ostracizing from her family when she strikes up a relationship with a gentile (Christian Vazquez). Norvind gives a sensitive portrayal as the heroine Ariela, who struggles to reconcile her desire for personal freedom with the constrictions of her loved ones. Writer/director Isaac Cherem avoids easy answers in this smart, occasionally steamy romantic drama. The Feb. 16 screening is the festival's Young Professionals Night. 8 p.m., Feb. 16, Woodruff Arts Cinema; 1:35 p.m., Feb. 17, UA Tara Cinemas; 8:10 p.m., Feb. 17, Regal Perimeter Pointe; 1 p.m., Feb. 18, Regal Perimeter Pointe.

With December approaching, we're embracing the Christmas Spirit and are delighted to introduce our very own advent wine rack.
We think that the run up to Christmas should be more fun than just a cardboard door & a chocolate so we've created a 24 bottle alternative to a traditional calendar.
This unique wine rack is made from a large reclaimed pitch pine timber that was rescued from an old industrial building dating back to the early 1800's. This characterful piece had original slot mortises & a host of refurbished metal work.
Simply choose 24 of your favorite bottles & bring the spirit of Christmas to your home.
We've just finished this reclaimed English elm wine rack & we love it! This 6 bottle wine rack has been handmade out of reclaimed English elm which has been rescued from an old build on the Blenheim Palace Estate.

EPA watchdog says investigation into former agency chief Scott Pruitt's condo 'inconclusive'
Posted on: November 30th, 2018	by ABC News	No Comments
Mark Wilson/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — The Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general informed Congress this week that it has dropped investigations into former administrator Scott Pruitt's deal to live in a lobbyist's Capitol Hill condo and alleged abuse of office, saying that Pruitt resigned before he could be interviewed by investigators.
The two investigations were demanded by outraged Democrats on the Hill who said Pruitt abused his position for personal benefit, including asking EPA employees to help him find housing and reportedly seek job opportunities for his wife. While the investigations continued after Pruitt resigned he was no longer required to cooperate.
A spokeswoman for the inspector general's office said they do not comment on closed cases and declined to answer whether Pruitt declined to be interviewed.
The inspector general's office also cleared appointee Samantha Dravis of allegations that she did not attend work for about three months, even though she was still being paid. Investigators said multiple witnesses and records show Dravis was working in the office and attending meetings during the time she allegedly wasn't working, so the allegations were unfounded.
In another investigation, the watchdog determined that ethics officials were not pressured to approve the controversial condo deal, even though they did say they were only informed of the details of the arrangement after Pruitt lived there for several months.
The results were announced in the inspector general's Semiannual Report to Congress, which details the offices work over the previous year. The EPA watchdog has published 52 reports in the 2018 fiscal year, including audits of Pruitt's security detail, failures that worsened the Flint water crisis, and the agency's management of asbestos in schools.

Q: Formatting Time Stamps I am trying to correct and reformat Timestamps in a 24 hour format, however they are missing enough numbers to use the POSIXct function correctly.
Here is an example of the Date and Timestamps. Within the data frame their is a column for Year (ex:2018), DOY-day of year (ex:305), and TIME (ex: 0).
The TIME column is giving me issues. The values look like (0, 30, 100, 130, 200). In this case 0 should be 00:00:00 if formatted to a %H:%M:%S format. My issue is I need to figure out how to format it that way.
Here is the code I tried:
mt$date <- as.POSIXct(paste(mt$Year, mt$DOY, mt$Time), format = "%Y %j %H")

Thanks for any help, I am sure this is likely an easy fix.

A: We could make use of sprintf to create the format
mt$date <- with(mt, as.POSIXct(paste0(Year, '-', DOY,' ',
 sub('^(..)', '\\1:', sprintf('%04d', Time))), format = "%Y-%j %H:%M"))
mt$date
#[1] "2018-11-01 00:00:00 EDT" "2018-11-08 00:30:00 EST" "2018-06-24 01:00:00 EDT"
#[4] "2018-08-13 01:30:00 EDT" "2018-11-16 10:00:00 EST"

data
mt <- structure(list(Year = c(2018, 2018, 2018, 2018, 2018), DOY = c(305,
312, 175, 225, 320), Time = c(0, 30, 100, 130, 1000)),

Okay, completely off topic, I know, but im looking to get a military style Beret, and put a Ron Paul pin through it. Any one know where I can get an Affordable but good quality one? Thanks!
I'm sure you can find a used one or a new one on eBay.
Any Army-Navy store or military surplus place should have all you need.
This is were we get ours for the Indiana Militia Corps. They are real good quality. I have about 3 tan ones avalible if you need one faster than they can ship it.
Aye, I have a fedora my self, although it got dusty and bent up =\. Oh well, thats what you get for leaving it where you dog can carry it around... Agh!
Ah, thank you! I think im going to get a black one, and yeah, this a basically a whim thing, so speed isn't really that big of deal (long as its not like 2 weeks + or something), but thanks anyways!
Edit: Ill admit, I kinda like the droopy style of the bigger crown, but I dont think it makes all that much of a difference. Do you really notice it not hanging down as much?
They are useually pretty fast shipping things.
Yeah, looking at that black one... do the other ones you linked (the tan, maroon, black, green) hang down at all?
No not really what you see in the pic of the tan one is basicly how far they go. These are meant for military dress uniforms. That is what we use them for so I dont know if any one else has any thing else. I skimmed the berets.com site and they might have something informal.
"Crown size is the preferred smaller diameter for a crisp, and less droopy look."
its a toss up between that one and the black one on Brigade Qrtr., im just gona to decide if I want a droopy or a bit more even hat. Thanks for the help, btw :D! I never would have found that one on beret.com, had already looked there and skimmed over it. As for th BQM., i might of found it eventually.


This medication may cause a severe (rarely fatal) intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a type of resistant bacteria. This condition may occur during treatment or weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Tell your doctor right away if you develop persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, or blood/mucus in your stool. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medications if you have any of these symptoms because these products may make them worse.
Clindamycin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually 4 times a day (every 6 hours), or as directed by your doctor. Take it with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking this medication.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the dose is also based on weight.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are using this medication (unless your doctor/dentist has directed you to take this drug before surgery as a precaution).
Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of this drug, especially persistent diarrhea.
If you are using this drug for a longer time, laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., kidney/liver function tests, blood counts) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.


This, relatively up to date collection of academic articles edited by Charlene Depner and James Bray is an attempt to analyse and discuss the role of non resident parents in contemporary society. It asks a number of key questions. How can policy makers and professionals who work with families address the emotional and financial needs of children who do not live with both parents ? What resources exist for developing parenting agreements between mothers and fathers who live apart ? What should be done when a child refuses to visit the non residential parent ? What effect does a parents remarriage have on a child ?
The book is divided into two sections; 1) Nonresidential Parents, Who are they ? and 2) Using Social Science Research in Policy and Practice. There are interesting articles by Joan Kelly, 'Developing and Implementing Post Divorce Parenting Plans' p 136 and also by Janet Johnston, 'Children of Divorce who Refuse Visitation' p 109.
At �.50 for the paperback edition it is a bit steep. Why not request that your local library gets hold of it for you.

UK students are the most distracted by social media like Facebook and Twitter than any other students in the world, a new survey claims.
According to a global survey conducted by Cisco, more than 9 out of 10 British students were distracted by social media platform at least once an hour.
In terms of being connected to the Internet via mobile devices, British came second only to the Chinese, said Cisco.
The survey also found that about three quarters of students preferred an Internet connection over a car, Cisco revealed.
Cisco UK CEO Phil Smith said employers needed to incorporate these changes within their employee policies.
"It could mean fewer people commuting, more people working from home. But businesses also need to consider that if people are getting distracted from their jobs, it's often down to bad management," said Smith in a statement.
Meanwhile, 2 out of 5 students worldwide, who took part in the survey, claim that the Internet was more important to them than dating or going out while 1 in 3 claimed that Internet was as essential as basic human needs like air, water and food.


Klaas Devos focuses on social aesthetic researches that encircles the cracks between the experience and the understanding of what we share in and through movement. Through workshops and masterclasses he open up the possibility to exchange practices of embodied research and keeps alive the methods and questions ranging from our daily experiences to project-oriented research.
Participants shape a physical research together. Passing on understanding and misunderstandings of movement and the aesthetics of dance, adhering to the questions that surface. The goal is to expand awareness and experiment on embodiment. The practices unfold through a series of proposed exercises, a shared starting point to extend the consciousness of and through movement. The technics stem from my personal aesthetic and academic researches on flirtation, resonance, the nervous system and aerodynamics.
In the past I have been actively involved giving workshops for independent organizations (EDC, TDF), different schools (MUDA, Conservatoria Gent and Bruges), and higher education institutes (KASK, Gent), and mentoring for postgrad. research (Apass, Brussels).
Workshops and masterclasses have also found their place on international dancefestival (Aperto, Como (It.), Camping CNDC, Paris (Fr.), TDP dance, Cork (Ie.), Ibsen Laboratoria, Habana (Cu.)).

Q: setting global CURLOPT_SSLVERSION to CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 According to the php.net manual pages, http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php, the following is stated:

CURLOPT_SSLVERSION One of CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT (0), CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 (1), CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv2 (2), CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv3 (3), CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0 (4), CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1 (5) or CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2 (6).
Note: Your best bet is to not set this and let it use the default. Setting it to 2 or 3 is very dangerous given the known vulnerabilities in SSLv2 and SSLv3.

How can I set CURLOPT_SSLVERSION globally to CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1.

CWA was one of the public interest organizations that served on the working group, along with other industry, government, community, and higher education representatives.
Just over a year after emerging from bankruptcy, Frontier is increasingly outsourcing good union jobs to irresponsible subcontracting companies, putting public safety at risk.
Part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Talent Pipeline Challenge, CWA has secured new partnerships with employers and industry associations, including NTCA-The Rural Broadband Association, AT&T, and more, opening doors to training opportunities and new job pathways.
NLRB orders T-Mobile to disband illegal workplace organization
T-Mobile's illegal attempt to undermine worker organizing at the company is just one in a string of labor law violations at the company, which merged with Sprint in 2020. Throughout the merger process, CWA raised concerns about the impact of the merger on workers and consumers, particularly the effect of store closures on jobs and wages.

A Race with Love and Death
This superb biography by Richard Williams not only captures the image of the British wealthy post-war racing driver who was drafted into the successful Mercedes-Benz grand prix team in the late 1930s that was created to underline the technical superiority of German engineers in the Adolf Hitler era.
A modest man who started out racing a K type MG he quickly moved on to more powerful cars such as an ERA voiturette, a racing Delage and a former factory Alfa Romeo before being selected to join Mercedes.
This modest Englishman was to win the 1938 German Grand Prix for Mercedes but was killed in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa in an accident in the Belgian Grand Prix.
It explains Seaman's rise to the premier league in motor racing at that time and something of his character which always seemed out of place in the regimen of Mercedes Benz. It also brings out the tragedy of his short marriage to Erica Popp the daughter of one of BMW's executive at a time when there was much anti-German feeling.
A fascinating biography.

According to the Vedas, the Sun is the provider of life. The Sun is a revolutionary kind of force as in astrology, whichever house, the Sun is placed, it will make you realistic. You may not be supposed to have a superficial kind of approach in those matters.
The Sun is the king of astrology and all the planets revolve around it. So, the Sun is the main planet and it indicates soul, ego, father, self-esteem, authority, health, vitality, courage and confidence.
The Sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra. This exaltation and debilitation is a very controversial phenomenon. Both the placements have positive and negative indications.
In a natural zodiac wheel, Aries is the 1st sign and Libra is the 7th. Libra lies on the lower side of the zodiac wheel. The Sun being a king enjoys the attention he gets in the 1st sign, but it doesn't like to be in the sign where it has to remain in the background. It doesn't like to be in this sign despite the house because this house deals with day to day relationships.
Being the King, the Sun likes to be in the throne, but when he sends out to deal with all the complexities in the relationships, then a person with Sun in debilitation can have issues with so many people. Primarily with father, this person can have issues.
The Sun indicates father in astrology and a Sun in Libra person will have to go an extra mile in being happy with their father. The father-child relationship will advance amidst a lot of struggles. They may have to go an extra mile in controlling their ego and this ego can bring issues in all the relationships.
Power struggles will be another feature. When the Sun is in Libra or when it is in the 7th house that can also make your Sun weak. The Sun doesn't share a good relationship with Saturn, and Venus. So, when placed in the sign owned by these 2 planets, then the Sun can be weak or inefficient.
The Sun is a powerful planet, so even if it is in a good mode, it may make you power hungry in the matters of the house which it is placed, despite exalted or debilitated.
If this debilitated or weak Sun is in the 1st house, then it indicates a recurrent focus on health. In the 2nd house ongoing power struggle in the family. In the 3rd house, then the power struggles can be with siblings. The 4th house is showing the stress with family. When Sun is placed in the 5th, then the power struggles can be with children or partner in romance. In the 6th house, it makes you power hungry over your colleagues.
The 7th house Sun is, of course, showing the hiccups in the marital life. In the 8th house, it can be with your partners. Then, the 9th house sun shows the friction with gurus, mentors or father. The 10th house sun shows issues with administration. The 11th house Sun shows frictions in your group settings. The 12th house Sun reflects issues in emotional stability.

"Large's voice is a Swiss army knife, and she spent her show slicing through the limits of the Great American Songbook. She touched on jazz, rock, show tunes and the orchestra's classical presence, no genre out of reach of her flawless vibrato." - The Oregonian
"She is an intoxicating and unmissable cocktail of power and vulnerability." - The Times
Storm Large: musician, actor, playwright, author, awesome. She shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the CBS show Rock Star: Supernova, where despite having been eliminated in the week before the finale, Storm built a fan base that follows her around the world to this day. She was also seen on the 2021 season of America's Got Talent.
Storm spent the 90s singing in clubs throughout San Francisco. Tired of the club scene, she moved to Portland to pursue a new career as a chef, but a last-minute cancellation in 2002 at the Portland club "Dante's" turned into a standing Wednesday night engagement for Storm and her new band, The Balls. It wasn't long before Storm had a cult-like following in Portland, and a renewed singing career that was soon to be launched onto the international stage.
In the 18-19 season, Storm performed her one-woman autobiographical musical memoir Crazy Enough at La Jolla Music Society and Portland Center Stage, celebrating the show's ten-year anniversary. Recent engagements include debuts with the Philly Pops, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Seattle Symphony, as well as return engagements with the Houston, Detroit, Toronto, and BBC Symphonies; the New York Pops; and the Louisville Orchestra, with whom she recorded the 2017 album All In. Storm continues to tour concert halls across the country with her band Le Bonheur and as a special guest on Michael Feinstein's Shaken & Stirred tour. Alongside Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey, Storm joined Michael Feinstein as special guest with the Pasadena Pops.
Storm made her debut as guest vocalist with the band Pink Martini in April 2011, singing four sold-out concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. She continues to perform with the band, touring nationally and internationally, and she is featured on their album Get Happy. Storm has also sung with Grammy winner k.d. lang, pianist Kirill Gerstein, punk rocker John Doe, singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton.
She debuted with the Oregon Symphony in 2010, and has returned for sold out performances each year thereafter. Storm made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2013, singing Weill's Seven Deadly Sins with the Detroit Symphony as part of the Spring for Music Festival. The NY Times called her "sensational," and the classical music world instantly had a new star.
In 2007, Storm starred in Portland Center Stage's production of Cabaret with Wade McCollum. The show was a smash hit, earning Large glowing reviews. Her next endeavor, the musical memoir Crazy Enough, played to packed houses in 2009 during its unprecedented 21-week sold out run in Portland. Storm went on to perform a cabaret version of the show to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Festival in Australia, and Joe's Pub in New York. Her memoir, Crazy Enough, was released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, named Oprah's Book of the Week, and awarded the 2013 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction.
Storm is featured in Rid of Me, a film by Portlander James Westby, starring Katie O'Grady and Theresa Russell. In 2010, she starred at the Mark Taper Forum with Katey Sagal and Michael McKean in Jerry Zak's production of Harps and Angels, a musical featuring the work of Randy Newman.
In the fall of 2014, Storm & Le Bonheur released a record designed to capture their sublime and subversive interpretations of the American Songbook. Entitled simply Le Bonheur and released on Pink Martini's Heinz Records, the recording is a collection of tortured and titillating love songs: beautiful, familiar, yet twisted … much like the lady herself.
For our December performances, we're partnering with the Laguna Food Pantry and will have donation bins for highly requested food items to go to the most vulnerable in our community. Consider bringing a can (or two!) for donation. More info HERE
