Part 5 of the series shows how self-described 'fanatical Jew' Sigmund Freud's warped views on sex would work their way into the mainstream narrative. Freud thought that even infants were sexually active if only in their thoughts and he reduced all neurosis down to being the result of sexual repression in childhood. All 17 members of his psychoanalytical movement were Jews, giving it the well deserved description of being a 'Jewish science'.
The Frankfurt School would then continue this idea, blaming what they saw as problems with civilisation on the repression of perversity within it. Before civilisation, mankind supposedly lived in a world of perpetual orgies where everyone was equal and of course, there was no anti-Semitism back then either. They produced various books attacking the family and the role of the father, claiming that this was the beginning of fascism and would inevitably lead to the holocausting of six million Jews if allowed to continue.
The New Left would then put all these ideas together and spurred on by mind bending drugs, demand total hedonism for everyone. This became known as the sexual revolution and it succeeded in turning America into the modern day equivalent of degenerate Weimar Germany, which is of course where the Frankfurt Jews had first originated.

Hello Lovelies,
Christmas Day wouldn't be complete without some smoked Salmon before lunch, this years was from a smokehouse in Lancaster, and was pretty darn good.
We always dress up on Christmas day, all snazzy like! This year my three little bros all jumped on the check shirt bandwagon, and all looked very dapper.
As much as I love the scrummy food, the prezzies and family time at Christmas I also really enjoy decorating, the house to make it all festive.
Our table decoration was a cake stand from good old Ikea filled with battery fairy lights and red, white and green baubles from Peter Jones, it was very festive and sparkly.
I'm a complete candle junkie so this year we filled our dinning room with church candles, the traditional white variety and two very snazzy silver glittery ones, there is something lovely about lots of flickering candles.
By the end of lunch everyone was very merry and very full, so the children (can you be classed as a child at age 24) went to sort out the presents, a rather long process in our house as we go a little OTT on the old present front.
It was a present frenzy after lunch, with everyone having a stack in front of them, all the women in my family had a beautiful cream and black bag (you know what that means) yes Jo Malone!
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.

Courtesy of our friends at Elevation Pictures, you now have a chance to win one pair of passes to the Toronto premiere of Lady Bird on Sunday, October 22nd, 2017 in Toronto where the film's writer/director, Greta Gerwig, will be in attendance.
In Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her directorial debut, excavating both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father (Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.

CCTV Drain Camera sales at Scanprobe continue to show strong growth in 2016, boosted by the award winning Maxprobe pipe inspection system which has made such a strong impact since it's launch last year. The latest consignment of 19 Maxprobe drain camera systems have now been successfully delivered to a well known national hire company.
The process started in June 2015 with the question to Vernon Pain, Sales Manager at Scanprobe "so what makes your camera better than everyone else's?" The Commercial Director must have been impressed with the response and a month later Scanprobe were presenting the Maxprobe to their purchasing team. Over the next 4 months they looked at and compared our competitors' products to the Maxprobe whilst maintaining regular communication with us and their Senior Supply Chain Manager paid a visit to our Kenley facility to inspect each area of our business.
We are pleased to announce that the Maxprobe proved to be the best product for a plant hire company who really know their business. They wanted a CCTV drain camera that is durable, easy to use, simple to maintain and can be used in inclement weather whilst giving a great return on their investment.
At the conclusion of the deal Vernon remarked "patience paid dividends, sometimes it takes 11 months to earn a company's business! We look forward to building a strong partnership with our new friends and being the first choice for their future needs"
If you would like to arrange a demonstration of the Maxprobe please contact our Sales Team on 0203 253 2001.

Dr. Eric Graham, Former Board President of Alliance Francaise Accra
Can you start by explaining to us the origin of your link to France?
Everything started in Junior High School, when out of curiosity I chose to follow French classes instead of Latin. Therefore, I became aware of a totally different culture from the one in the Anglo-Saxon system. Later, while studying at the Alliance Française in Accra, I won a scholarship from the French Embassy in Ghana to go and study in Strasbourg in 1965.
What was your reaction once you arrived in France?
I would talk about a culture shock, as I arrived in winter it is primarily the freezing temperatures that surprised me. Then we were only two Ghanaian studying at the University of Strasbourg. However, I quickly got used to the French student life, I went around using a Solex and I started discovering the French cultural heritage.
Do you have any comments comparing the education systems?
Absolutely, first the higher number of students in classrooms and the lack of campus, but also the absence of mentoring and the fact that the French system attributes great importance to oral examinations. I noted that failures or repetition are relatively frequent in France, totally the opposite of the British system in which selection is done at the entrance. I also lived the period of May 68 during which Daniel Cohn-Bendit militated against the teaching conditions. Personally, I attach great importance to what the teaching of philosophy, as well as a cultural policy with musical and artistic education, can bring to citizens. This is what is missing in Ghana and we are trying to do through the French Alliances.
Let's turn to your role in the French Alliance Accra, why this commitment in favor of French learning, especially in Ghana?
Observing that French is not sufficiently taught in Ghana, while the benefits this language provides are incontestable – as my professional experiences in France and then in Brazzaville and Kinshasa have shown me – I obviously identified myself with the missions of the Alliance Française in Accra. I first joined as a member of the committee for this institution that has been very popular since its opening in the 50s. For a long time the only place to fuel the Ghanaian cultural scene, during my term as chair we decided to continue this mission while developing the teaching offer of the Alliance, with both French and English classes.
How do you assess the evolution of the perception of French and France today?
Our work has helped to further spread French teaching in the country, even if the Ghanaian institutions still haven't seized the opportunities provided by France and the International Francophonie Organisation to increase its teaching. I remain convinced that having more bilingualism would directly contribute to the development of the Ghanaian economy, as speaking French, especially in Africa, greatly improves the professional and personal opportunities. This language has for example changed my life! We must also pursue academic and scientific partnerships in which our two countries can bring a lot to each other. But overall the French culture, especially food, wine and fashion, is very popular in Ghana.

My Blogging Experience
At the beginning of the fall semester, I walked into my EDM class feeling uncertain due to my other classmates telling me how hard it is. On the first day of class I knew it was going to be work. As the determine person that I am, I knew I could adapt to this technology class. I usually do not care about technology or think that is a necessity. I have to say by taking this class and writing excessive papers about technology has educated me.
I know now that some children love to blog about their feelings, experiences, and more. It will enhance a child's writing, spelling, reading, and more. I think this is a great way to reach out to other people and different cultures. Blogging is something someone can do to express their thoughts without being embarrassed. Some people may think it is hiding behind a computer screen and a keyboard, but really it is creating liberty for people who are not comfortable with other people.
Although we blogged what was required from my EDM course and not my personal experiences in my life, it has extended my tree branches. I may have complained about making a video or writing a paper about technology but it has all served as a purpose. As my reflection on the class is that it has been a learning experience and has opened my eyes to a different technological word out there. My future students will know more about devices and technology than me most likely, but this could be a doorway for me to motivate them.
Although this reflection is not a requirement for the class and something that could go unread by people, I know that I can go back and look at this small writing as a motivator for me to be a continuous learner with technology. Maybe somethings could change to make this class go smoother but I would do it all over again. It is these classes that makes me become a better teacher, person, and student; which makes me grateful that I did all of this work at the University of South Alabama.

A bit of friendly competition and debate is good for business
Who ever said a bit of competition and debate wasn't a good thing?
Over the past two months, there have been two major news stories centred around big companies going head-to-head with one another in public.
Just this week, Amazon and The New York Times have locked horns over an article written by The Times in August about the online retailer's work culture. The story, which was a large piece in the daily paper, resulted in an Amazon VP drafting a 1300-word essay on Medium.com, refuting the article and claims made in it. From there, The Times Executive Editor responded with an equally long post to Medium and so on.
And less than two months ago, McDonalds and Burger King had a bit of a public tiff, which began when Burger King extended the olive branch in hopes of putting their 'burger war' aside and creating a McWhopper to celebrate Peace Day on 21st September. It all started when Burger King launched www.mcwhopper.com that included this:
What was the response from McDonald's, you ask?
Kind of gruff, no?
So what can local businesses learn from Amazon vs New York Times and McDonalds vs Burger King. It's that a bit of competition and debate can lead to some tremendous exposure. By making things public, all of the businesses involved were not only widely seen on Facebook and Twitter, but news stories flooded the internet from sources like Forbes, BBC Business Insider and dozens of other national outlets.
As a marketing expert, I think a bit of friendly competition and debate is great. Not only does it keep things fresh and interesting, but it also offers a new way of getting into the public eye.
For example, in 2012, after working with SO Festival – an East Lindsey / Skegness arts & culture event – for the previous two years, we knew that putting Skegness on the national news agenda would take a bold move. We recognised that we needed to do something that would provoke a reaction, capture media's attention and bring other seaside towns into the debate about the need for coastal resorts to market themselves.
As Brighton and Blackpool both sit above Skegness in the tourism league tables, we decided to place these controversial advertisements in their local newspapers, the Brighton Argus and Blackpool Gazette.
As expected, the newspapers refused to run the ads, but ran editorials on the campaign that showed pictures of the shocking ads. The ads also spread via social media and the story escalated from a regional news item into national story, which ran for over a week, giving SO Festival organisers, East Lindsey District Council, numerous opportunities to explain the rationale behind the ads and to discuss the issues facing traditional seaside towns, whilst also promoting SO Festival 2012.
In the end, the campaign reached over 23 million people and contributed to a 15% increase in SO Festival visitors year-on-year as a result of print and online media coverage with The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Daily Express and Observer, as well as radio and TV coverage in the south, north east and Lincolnshire as well as national exposure on The Million Pound Drop, This Morning and The Wright Show.
So how can a bit of competition give your business a boost? Well it can help you:
• Generate press coverage you may not have otherwise received
• Boost your social media following if the campaign spreads or goes viral
• Get some word-of-mouth going about your business
But, wait! Before you step into the ring with a competitor or other public figure, here are some very important things to consider first:
1) Have a reason behind your campaign
Slagging off your competition just for the sake of it is an extremely terrible idea. You'll only make yourself look like an antagonist and bully. Make sure you have a deeper underlying reason for what you're doing. Our SO Festival campaign wasn't just created to boost awareness for an event; it helped broach the topic of talking about the issues facing traditional seaside towns.
2) Be light-hearted in your approach
The more serious you are, the less people will relate to your campaign. The general public always love a bit of banter and competition in their personal lives – whether it's with partners, family or friends – so they can relate when the companies they love do the same. But if you're downright mean or rude in what you're saying, you again risk earning yourself the reputation of being a bad guy and bully. Be clever and witty – but not malicious.
3) Don't start a battle if you're not prepared for war
Some public tiffs fizzle out before the second party has time to rebut, but, in the case of Amazon and New York Times, both parties have gone back and forth numerous times over the course of a week – turning a small battle into a small war.
4) Plan your approach
Think ahead and ensure you've ran through all the responses you might receive once you've launched your campaign. Do the positives outweigh the negatives? If so, crack on and go for it you're comfortable. But if you can't justify the campaign or if the negative consequences are far more than the positives, it's best to leave the idea as just that – an idea.
So there you go. A bit of friendly competition can be good for business, but don't take it too seriously and definitely think before you speak – or else you may have some serious PR firefighting to do!

LA VERNE, Calif. — The University of La Verne volleyball team got off to a perfect start to the 2014 season as it beat Wheaton (Ill.), Whitworth, St. Scholastica and UC Santa Cruz at the 2014 Pacific Coast Classic on August 29-30.
Returning All-SCIAC outside hitter Brittany Yaxley and sophomore middle blocker Kelsi Robinson were named to the All-Tournament Team as voted on by the coaches after combining for 97 kills and 17 total blocks on the weekend.
Game 1: La Verne 3, Wheaton 0 (August 29)
The Leopards dominated in their first game against Wheaton and won in three straight sets, 25-23, 25-19, 25-13.
La Verne was fueled by balanced attack. Yaxley registered 10 kills and Robinson was right behind her with eight. Nysa Allen, Ashlyn Cross and Kylie Cooke each recorded at least five kills as well.
On defense, Anna Suarez led the Leopards with 18 digs while Yaxley pitched in 16.
La Verne was in complete control of the net, finishing the game with 38 kills and 10 total blocks, making it nearly impossible for Wheaton to attack.
Wheaton's Shelby Knowles led all players with 15 kills, accounting for exactly half of the Thunder's total output.
Game 2: La Verne 3, Whitworth 1 (August 29)
The Leopards carried over their dominant performance from the first match into their second against Whitworth.
Yaxley was a force all over the floor. She put down 21 kills on 48 attempts, had 22 digs and added 2.5 blocks at the good measure.
Behind Yaxley, the Leopards continued to spread the attack with excellent passing from Tiffany Mancuso and newcomer Kailey Faust. The two setters combined to dish out 49 assists in the match and helped five players recorded at least six kills.
Suarez led the team with 25 digs and Cross had two.
Nicole Leonard and Brenna Bruil led the Pirates with 16 and 14 kills, respectively.
Game 3: La Verne 3, St. Scholastica 1 (August 30)
Kelsi Robinson recorded 5.5 total blocks and the Leopards continued to play dominant defense at the net to beat St. Scholastica, 25-22, 23-25, 25-16, 25-22.
Cooke had three block assists to go along with five kills and 12 digs. Thompson also had three block assists and added seven kills.
Yaxley and Cross paced the Leopards on offense with 22 and 14 kills, respectively.
Game 4: La Verne 3, UCSC 1 (August 30)
After going down a set for the first time this season, the Leopards recovered to beat the Banana Slugs, 17-25, 25-17, 25-23, 25-18.
La Verne looked somewhat sluggish in the first set and looked as if it were losing focus towards the end of the frame. After La Verne took a 16-15 lead on a Yaxley kill, UCSC ripped off a 10-1 run to close out the set and looked to be carrying the momentum into the second set.
However, the Leopards regrouped and showed winning resolve. In each of the final three sets, La Verne took early leads and never relinquished them.
Yaxley once agains led all players with 15 kills followed by Thompson with 11. Cross and Robinson recorded nine apiece.
Robinson was a strong presence at the net yet again, recording 3.5 blocks.
The Leopards will get a little breather before traveling to Santa Barbara to take on Westmont on Sept. 6 at 2 p.m.
From the Coach
On what stood out the most: "Blocking. We've been working on blocking a lot and the girls have really bought into the concept of 'you have to start with the small things before the big things.' The more we can keep our energy up the better our defense is. So we're going to have to keep that going."
On Brittany Yaxley: "Yaxley is doing a fantastic job as a junior. She has come in and has decided to be an aggressive force for us."
Takeaway from the tourney: "The more we can keep our energy up the better our defense is. So we're going to have to keep that going. … We also have to work on maintaining the flow and staying away from up-and-down moments"

Synopsis from Goodreads.
The dryly precocious, soon-to-be-fifteen-year-old hero of this engagingly offbeat debut novel, Oliver Tate lives in the seaside town of Swansea, Wales. At once a self-styled social scientist, a spy in the baffling adult world surrounding him, and a budding, hormone-driven emotional explorer, Oliver is stealthily (and perhaps a bit more nervously than he'd ever admit) nosing his way forward through the murky and uniquely perilous waters of adolescence. His objectives? Uncovering the secrets behind his parents' teetering marriage, unraveling the mystery that is his alluring and equally quirky classmate Jordana Bevan, and understanding where he fits in among the pansexuals, Zoroastrians, and other mystifying, fascinating beings in his orbit.
Ever wondered what it would be like if Wes Anderson got drunk on vodka and watched the entire box set of The Inbetweeners in one night?
Reader meet Submarine. Submarine meet reader.
Aah, and herein lies the conundrum.
For I really dislike The Inbetweeners (I know, I know… I have received many a horrified glare when I have divulged this information. I just don't find it funny because I'm a horrible, stuffy prude) but I adore Wes Anderson.
This could have gone either way and I think I knew this risk before I started this book. I am nothing if not a risk taker.
So, let's see shall we?
Did I enjoy this book?
Very much so.
Did I laugh at this book?
I barked like a seal a few times, so yes, again… very much so.
Is it a bit vile and vulgar and is there lots of graphic sex and fumblings?
Ho yes.
Considering I only read this book so I had something to talk to Richard Ayoade about (I'm kidding. Our
imaginary conversations would be about lots of excellent things from films to music, to whether it would make him uncomfortable if I touched his hair), I really, really enjoyed it.
I like to call books like these "It got dark" books; meaning you pick it up in the afternoon and you read…and read….and read and then the next time you look up well, um, it got dark.
This is exactly what happened with Submarine.
inhaling reading of Mr Dunthorne's debut was only hindered occasionally by me stopping to jot down some of my favourite quotes and then pick up my phone so I could text them to my sister.
I battled (well ok, maybe battled is getting a bit giddy) with the decision to whether I should class this as young adult. I know that just because a book has a fifteen year old protagonist doesn't automatically make it a young adult book. Like I said before, this book has lots and lots of awkward sexual shenanigans in and frank discussions about things that might not be to everyone's liking. So if you're put off by that, maybe give this book a miss or at least approach with caution.
But, even though people might argue with me saying it's not a young adult book, I believe if an author writes a book where there is a fifteen year old narrator and it's a realistic portrayal (which I personally feel Mr Dunthorne managed brilliantly), then why shouldn't a fifteen year old pick the book up?
Plus, classing this book as YA would make it infinitely cooler because YA fiction is all the rage right now and all the indie kids read it and pretend they liked it before it got famous.
(FYI, we hard core YAddicts read Hunger Games before it was cool)
It's kind of like I'm doing Mr D a favour reviewing this on a YA blog. I'm sure he appreciates it.
Anyway, I loved Oliver. I'd probably hate him if I met him in real life, though. If we had gone to high school with each other I would have watched him cautiously from behind my ill-advised fringe and think that he was odd and trouble. He'd be the kind of guy I'd cross the road to avoid passing… but I'd be intrigued by him.
I understand that that probably says more about me than Oliver, but that's kind of how I felt about him in this book. I wouldn't say I necessarily liked him as a character, but he was a brilliant narrator. I loved seeing the world through his warped-tinted spectacles.
Some of my favourite Oliver quotes, which I have realised won't be funny out of context:
[On pocket-sized Encyclopaedias] "It would only fit in a pocket that was specially designed."
"I slam my fist on to the table to no effect. It's made of stone."
"I would never say snog. I would say osculate."
[On condoms] "The smell nothing like a positive first sexual experience."
I find that a book like this is incredibly difficult to describe why it's funny to people because if you don't find it funny, then no matter how many times I say "specially designed pockets" and cackle, you will still look at me blankly and wonder why we are friends.
But I laughed.
I don't really want to go into the story because, if I'm honest, there's not that much of a story. It's about a boy growing up in South Wales where things aren't always peachy and the boy observes them with dry humour.
The only gripe I had with this book is that I wish certain parts had been explored more in depth. There were some things that seemed to either get overwhelmed by Oliver's personality/narration, mentioned a few times and then forgotten about or, at the end, solved and wrapped up in a neat bow.
Theme Tune.
Hiding Tonight by Alex Turner.
It's like this song was written for this story.
Heh… heh….
Actually, that um… joke would have been funnier if this song had been written for this story. But, it's not true because I think Mr Turner wrote these songs before the film soundtrack, so I'm not just unfunny; I'm also a liar.
I couldn't find the perfect song for this book but I love this song and… wait, why am I even justifying myself? It's Alex Bloody Turner.
Also um… with regards to Welsh Week. I'm… um, sure that the Arctic Monkeys are from Sheffield which is in England which is part of the UK along wiiiiiiiith….. Wales!
Also, I'm sure they played in Wales at some point and really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed this book but I know that it won't be for everyone. It's clever, it's witty, it's occasionally vulgar and it's definitely a hipster's paradise (which is nothing like a gangsta's paradise… something I found out recently. But that's another story for another time.)
I'll let you make up your own mind whether that's a good thing or not.
AND! That's not all I have for you today because I have an extra special guest on my blog today who will be reviewing the film version of Submarine.
It is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to Rachel, my sister.
Firstly, thank you to my dear hermana for letting me impose myself on her blog. (About time). Secondly, I must confess that I have not read the book and so any opposition that may arise are completely unbalanced. Just like my sister and I, no doubt.
Just like Dunthorne used Submarine to introduce himself to the literary world, Richard Ayoade, the bespectacled wonder who has long reigned over cult TV geekdom, broke his directing virginity with this film adaptation in 2010. While the defining features of his on screen persona include a fear of oranges, human interaction and the female species*, behind the camera Ayoade is transformed, presenting a heartfelt, comedy drama and an awkward leg-crossing homage to the world of a young boy in love.
Oliver Tate, played by newcomer – and Welshie – Craig Roberts, is a cinephile in the very best way, residing in a bedroom adorned with pencil sketches of Woody Allen, whose love for all things gabardine and vintage and literary could stir the coolest of girl's loins if only he wasn't so strange. Yes I am aware he is only about 15 but you get my point. He is the boy next door, the slightly odd boy next door but an intriguing boy next door nonetheless. You want to be friends with him and go on wonderful sepia toned adventures on the beach. But this would mean you'd have to spend time with his equally disillusioned but rather more streetsmart classmate, Jordana Bevan (Yasmin Paige). This girl is awesome. But so is her fringe. And as a woman who has a love/hate relationship with her own high density fringe, I try and avoid mixing with other befringed folk. Especially if it's raining.
Our protagonists are the epitome of old souls, preferring to see the world through a cinematic past rather than a reality that would force them to admit the pains of adult life. Oliver is torn between concerns for his parent's marriage and his own burgeoning feelings for Jordana both in his heart and in his downtown areas. And Jordana is just an enigma shrouded in a mystery that poor Oliver is determined to solve…With a who's-who of British indie talent providing the adult cast, Submarine creates a perfect opposition between the two worlds of children and adults or rather to use a more sexy metaphor, red silk sheets and back-seat love-ins…
Submarine is a testament to the best of British, whether it be our sense of humour or cynicism or even our landscapes, our actors, our writers or our musicians (see the awesomely suited original soundtrack by Alex Turner). Although eyes open for a cameo by Ben Stiller who 'presented' the film.
Returning to my hermana's opening statement about The Inbetweeners comparison, I have to disagree. Yes Submarine is gritty, and too real to want to admit, but behind each frame here is a tender sadness as we realise teenagers must enjoy the frivolities of love and their loins alongside the impending realities of the adult world. And even the cheapest vodka won't let you forget that. Believe me…
*A little visual to help you imagine Richard Ayoade and his sweet moves.
Me again!
My sister and I exchanged a few texts about the two because I've not seen the film (yet) and she's not read the book (yet). Here is the transcript:*
J: Um, what? You didn't get the Inbetweeners vibe? And Woody Allen? He's never mentioned EVER.
R: No, not at all. It was a very beautiful film about tenderness, love and things. Inbetweeners is vile and disgusting and absolutely brilliant. And… what? He loves the Allen!
J: I forgot you liked the Inbetweeners. Sigh. OK, but what about the bit when [blank] and [blank] and then the bit where he [blank] her on the rug.
R: …. what?!
J: Yeah and then he when he [blank] in the theatre and [blank] and then she [blank] with a [blank].…and [blank].
J: I know, right?
J: Also, did you notice that we both mentioned our fringes in our reviews? Does that mean something?
J: Except that we're awesome but have unfortunate hair on rainy days?
J: Rach? You still here?
J: Rach? Are you watching IT Crowd episodes again?
An absolute huge thank you to my wonderful sister for writing such a brilliant film review. It's an absolute pleasure to (finally) get her on here!
If you're interested in more of Rachel's film reviews, you can find them on her site: ilovefilmdoyou?
Also, she is always on Twitter. You should follow her.
She always finds herself into ridiculous situations that will entertain you endlessly.
*May not be an exact transcript.

Hi everyone,
Colombia inked a major licensing deal with Manchester United. The US outdoor brand will create a dual branded outerwear for outdoor pursuits, including hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and water and snow activities. The collection will debut in fall 2016.
Manchester's Managing Director, Richard Arnold, said the partnership joins two brands with a rich history – Columbia starting in 1938 and Manchester in 1878 – and a shared commitment to performance and innovation. Manchester has won 62 trophies and garnered a dedicated global community of more than 650 million followers.
"We look forward to working together to provide our fans with a new way of expressing their support for the Club via our range of branded outdoor apparel," said Arnold. "No matter what activity they are partaking in, this partnership will help the Club to accompany our fans wherever they go."
For Columbia, the agreement is similar to its deal starting in Spring 2015 to make co-branded sportswear, outerwear and accessories with the Dallas Cowboys. Through Outdoor Custom Sportswear (OCS), Columbia has similar licensing deals with MLB, the NBA and hundreds of college teams.
Beyond driving brand awareness in the U.K., given Manchester United's sizeable, global fan base, Columbia saw a significant sales opportunity in its focus markets across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Said SVP of Columbia Merchandising and Design, Joe Boyle, "Together, we will deliver to Manchester United fans around the world an attractive line of outerwear featuring Columbia's most advanced proprietary technologies."

Multiple hangars and dozens of airplanes were damaged or destroyed at KOJC.
Company out-delivered its nearest rival by 30 percent.
When 2016's billing numbers were released this week by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Cirrus Aircraft easily captured the top slot, having delivered 317 aircraft, fully a third more airframes than its nearest rival, Textron Aviation's Cessna Aircraft Company.
Interest-free loans will fund C Series and Global 7000 jet programs.
Bombardier is poised to receive a boost in funding for its C Series and Global 7000 jet programs.
The Montreal-based jet maker announced this week it will receive roughly $282 million ($372.5 million in Canadian dollars) in interest-free loans over the next four years from the Canadian government.
STC covers installation of low-cost unit in hundreds of certified light airplane models in Europe.
The FAA has thrown in the towel in the fight for Santa Monica Airport, striking a compromise deal with local officials that will permit the city to shorten the runway from about 5,000 feet to 3,500 feet within a year and close the airport forever at the end of 2028.
The city is already laying plans to shorten the runway, a move that would prevent most large business jets from using the airport that is a favourite of Hollywood A-listers. Santa Monica must give the FAA 30 days' notice before altering the runway, after which it can take over services from airport FBOs — though the city must continue selling leaded avgas, according to the FAA.
A 30-nautical-mile temporary flight restriction will be in force whenever President Trump is at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, the government has said.

Privately owned warbirds still soar because of the efforts of a few dedicated folks.
HOUSTON—My first thought was that I should have rented a wider lens. Sitting in front of me was a vintage two-seat Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk, and this aircraft dominated the space. It loomed like a temporarily grounded raptor, simultaneously enormous and oddly toy-like.
Bill Hamilton will be inducted into the Nebraska Aviation Hall of Fame on Jan. 26, 2017, during the silver anniversary of the Nebraska Aviation Symposium, which he helped found 25 years ago.
Leonardo performed a 30min maiden flight of its Aermacchi M-345 trainer on 29 December from its Venegono Superiore facility in northern Italy.
"The aircraft conducted itself perfectly, meeting the expectations of the design parameters while showing excellent performance," says Quirino Bucci, a test pilot for Leonardo's aircraft division.

Warming Reality
research shows the earth has
undergone a remarkable
cycle of warming and cooling over
the last 400 thousand years.
It warms up fairly quickly over a 10 thousand year time frame,
and then undergoes a slower
period of cooling that lasts for about 100 thousand years.
This cycle has repeated itself 4 times in the last 400 thousand
years. We appear to be approaching the end of the period of
melting of the northern polar ice cap is the main driver of this
cycle. Once it is significantly melted, weather patterns irreversible
change and a new glacial period begins.
has been in an inter-glacial period (warming period) for over
10 thousand years now. Most of the ice shield
over North America and Europe has already melted except for Greenland.
The oceans have already risen an estimated 120 meters and would
rise another 6.5 meters if most of the ice on Greenland
melts (as it did in the last interglacial period).
Canada Ready?
for visiting our site. Global warming and how we deal with it is
a very important issue to be discussed. Is this happening independent
of what mankind has done to the environment? Will mankind speed
or slow this process? Can we make a difference or is this simply
an overwhelming force of nature that we have to adapt to. Your
participation in this public message board discussion is one way
to bring understanding
to this issue.

Black just became way cooler.
British company Surrey NanoSystems has developed a super black coating that absorbs 99.96% percent of visual light, setting a new world record.
Made out of carbon nanotubes, the new material, dubbed Vantablack, is so, so dark that the human eye can't discern its shape and dimension.
The nanotubes are 10,000 thinner than human hair and are so tightly packed together that light particles can't get through them. This means most of the light is absorbed, creating an effect that its inventors describe almost like a black hole.
The inventors have grown this nanotube material in sheets of aluminium foil, which they have manipulated to create different shapes. But the shapes can't be seen because everything that's covered by Vantablack appears smooth because of its light absorbing properties. "You expect to see the hills and all you can see … it's like black, like a hole, like there's nothing there. It just looks so strange," said Ben Jensen, the firm's chief technical officer, to The Independent's Ian Johnston.
Vantablack can be used to calibrate astronomical cameras, telescopes and infrared scanning systems to get better readings. "It reduces stray-light, improving the ability of sensitive telescopes to see the faintest stars, and allows the use of smaller, lighter sources in space-borne black body calibration systems. Its ultra-low reflectance improves the sensitivity of terrestrial, space and air-borne instrumentation", said Jensen in a release.
"Many people think black is the absence of light. I totally disagree with that. Unless you are looking at a black hole, nobody has actually seen something which has no light," professor of colour science and technology Stephen Westland from Leeds University in the UK told The Independent. "These new materials, they are pretty much as black as we can get, almost as close to a black hole as we could imagine."

With more Jedi teaching Ezra has to deal with his emotions regarding Seebo and the knowledge his enhanced cranium contains, specifically regarding Ezra's parents. It's a tough time for him and he is understandably prickly. He has to remember however, that anger leads to hatred etc etc. You know it by now.There is something I really want to talk about, as it's something I've not seen or read about in the Star Wars universe before. But you need to see it yourself, as I thought it was crazy when it first came up! It is however a trippy experience and very cool to see additional ideas being introduced into old concepts that we're familiar with.
One of the strongest aspects of this show is the characters and how they interact. You could pair up any two members of the crew and they'd make a good team or story. My favourite though is Kanan and Ezra, and we get a good look at that here. Kana may not be a Master, but he's learning enough about Ezra to get the best out of him. It's not without it's ups and downs though.
On a side note, we hear from the mysterious Fulcrum once again. Who is he/she? Internet rumours suggest Ahsoka, Anakin's Padawan through the Clone Wars. The voice is modified but it sounds female to me. Could it be? Time will tell I guess.
We get more intrigue regarding Ezra's past so it's not as easily wrapped up as I maybe hoped it would be. But whilst I was frustrated slightly with that, it was more than made up for by a blistering final action sequence. It's always fun to see a Jedi use more than a lightsabre to fight, and if like you one of your favourite EU characters is Kyle Katarn you'll know what I mean.
Obviously not having real people acting allows more to happen, but if a TV show can show off such exciting action then what can we expect from the new films?
With this two episode arc finished now who knows where the Ghost will end up next. I just want to know who Fulcrum is and what happened to Ezra's parents! Rebels has got me hooked.
What do you make of it so far?

Perfect, happy, lovely are all words I would use to describe my weekend. I actually got to spend the whole weekend with Mr Joyful Thrifter minus any of this books for studying. It was so wonderful. We spent the day in Ojai, and I will share pictures of our lovely adventure later this week. Today has been so relaxing.
Grocery shopping is a favorite errand that I do weekly, and since Mr Joyful Thrifter has been studying so much lately he has not been been able to come with me. Today we go to go together and it was so much fun.
The fruit is my favorite part of the store. I love fresh fruit. I am not sure what I love more its beautiful color or its wonderful taste.
Now we are back home and I am getting into my new book that I bought at an adorable book store in Ojai. It is a small used book store connected to the public library, and all the books are $1.50. I wish it was closer because I would frequent this store often.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and got time to rest and treasure hunt.
Smiles,Pin It Now!

How to use Discover Deals
Table of Contents
What's Discover Deals?
Discover cardmembers have the opportunity to earn extra rewards or instant savings when shopping through the Discover Deals portal. There's plenty of retailers and travel providers online where you can earn cashback and the rewards you get are in addition to your regular rewards. New cardmembers get cashback doubled at the end of the first year and all cardmembers earn 5% cashback in quarterly rotating categories:
So a new cardmember can make a purchase with a Discover card to get:
- 5% cashback in a quarterly rotating category (currently gas stations, ground transportation and wholesale clubs through March, 2017)
- 1% cashback on all other purchases
- Double cashback awarded at the end of the year
But if you also shop through the Discover Deals portal with your card, you earn even more. For instance, one of the current 5% cashback categories is wholesale clubs, so this includes Sam's Club, which is one of the available merchants on Discover Deals:
A new cardmember would then instead earn:
- 5% cashback with the rotating category of wholesale clubs – doubled at the end of the year = 10% cashback
- 5% cashback by shopping with the wholesale club online via Discover Deals – doubled at the end of the year = 10% cashback
So that's 20% cashback total on that purchase! Your $500 shopping bill just cost $400.
How much cashback can I earn on Discover Deals?
You can typically earn back between 5% and 20% of the purchase price (though it's usually around 5%). Right now, there are 123 deals, from Alamo to Wolferman's. You can earn 5% cashback shopping online with Apple, Kohl's or Walmart, or you can find reward deals like these:
- 15% off 1800Flowers.com
- $20 off a $200 purchase at Destination XL
- 25% off regular menu price orders at papajohns.com
How do I use Discover Deals?
Log in to your account here and then simply search for the retailer; for example, search for Sam's Club and click through to shop as normal. You need to pay with your Discover card to earn the reward.
If you have multiple Discover cards, you'll need to make your purchase with the card logged in to Discover Deals in order for your cashback to track.
Not yet a Discover cardholder? Apply here and start earning more rewards!
What else do I need to know about Discover Deals?
It always pays to compare your online shopping in advance of purchasing. It could be that a different cashback portal makes more sense or you may get a huge discount elsewhere just by shopping around first. However, in many cases, having a Discover card can really save you a bundle.
Note that some merchants may exclude certain portions of your purchase from these offers (e.g. on taxes or shipping charges) so always check the T&C on Discover Deals first.

Brilliant. That is the one word that comes to mind to describe Clare's Costly Cookie: A Young Heart Discovers the Way of Love by Julie Kelly and illustrated by Mary MacArthur. Parents today have a grave responsibility to not only teach the catechism to their children, but also to foster in their children saintliness and a daily prayerful relationship with Jesus that they can use throughout their entire lives. With this book, Julie has given parents a wonderful resource to do just that. The reader follows nine-year-old Clare with her everyday strains of being a typical child and watches her grow in holiness through little talks with Jesus. This book teaches and shows how a child can be transformed by the power of prayer.
Children follow Clare, the third child of four, through her twenty prayerful conversations with Jesus. She begins the first discussion by telling Jesus she doesn't pray a whole lot and how she is irritated with her little brother. After sitting quietly- listening to Jesus- she says she feels the ice cube in her chest start to melt and a warm feeling starting to grow. From there each conversation with Jesus builds upon the prior; the reader watches Clare slowly grow and learn, and, of course, she has many relapses along the way! With each conversation, the reader is able to hear all of her failings, angers, concerns, and disappointments, then later her understandings, calms, reassures, and satisfactions. Clare struggles with her selfish tendency, obeying her parents, getting along with her siblings, sitting still for Mass and family rosary – just to name a few. Along the way she learns to be unselfish, learns to offer up her daily sufferings, learns the importance of preparing her heart to receive Jesus in Holy Communion, learns the importance of spending time with Jesus before the Blessed Sacrament, and learns how important it is to pray every day to keep her heart closed to the devil and sin. Additionally, each conversation nicely ends with a Bible verse which relates in some way to Clare's discussion with Jesus. This book is loaded with many wonderful lessons to help children grow in holiness.
We received a copy of the book for this review from the author.
