Dragon Ball Z is legendary for its action set pieces, with Goku and the Z Fighters taking on Frieza, Cell, and Buu in battles of increasingly epic proportions. With Dragon Ball Super finally entering the Universal Survival arc, which promises to be the biggest-scale brawl in the history of the series, we're taking a look back over some of the best fights in Dragon Ball, but with a twist.
We're counting out the iconic battles between Goku and Frieza, and Gohan and Cell, focusing instead on the fights between the series' main characters. While "protagonist" generally refers to the Z Fighters where Dragon Ball is concerned, we're expanding the definition to include any recurring character in official series canon. Only canon will be taken into account, so the fights of Dragon Ball GT and the various DBZ movies will not appear.
Let's take a look at the 15 Best Fights Between the Series' Protagonists.
15 Gohan vs. Vegeta
Gohan's first confrontation with Vegeta is remembered more for Vegeta's preceding battle with Goku, but with Goku now thought dead following Namek's destruction, Gohan steps up once more to honor his father. The young Saiyan challenges Vegeta for mocking Goku and declaring Gohan his royal servant, and as Bulma tries to intervene, Piccolo holds her back. His pupil prepares to test his strength against the Prince.
The ensuing battle is only brief, with Vegeta coming out the clear victor, but Gohan surprises everyone (not least Vegeta) by gaining the upper hand early on in the fight. In the end, Vegeta is only kept from killing Gohan by Piccolo, who appears behind Vegeta with a short warning to "Back off".
Even if it doesn't make sense that Vegeta would back off at Piccolo's request (Vegeta is far superior to Piccolo at this point), the scene still delivers some tense character moments. It also gives us an insight into Gohan's future, with his dad supposedly out of the picture.
14 Mr. Satan vs. Android 18
The final of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament is decided by way of a battle royale. Trunks and Goten, disguised as Mighty Mask, knock Killa from the ring, while Android 18 swiftly deals with Jewel. Only Mr. Satan remains in the ring as Mighty Mask and 18 face off. 18 gains the advantage over the two Super Saiyans, eventually slicing their costume in two and revealing their identities.
With Mighty Mask disqualified, 18 prepares to battle Mr. Satan. The fight doesn't have the theatrics of her match with Mighty Mask, but it has plenty of laughs to make up for it. 18 puts Hercule in a headlock, telling him she will throw the match for the prize money. She feigns being knocked across the ring, and tells Satan to end it with his most powerful attack. 18 doesn't even blink after she is hit by the Dynamic Mess Em Up Punch, throwing herself from the ring of her own accord.
Mr. Satan would go on to win the next five World Martial Arts Tournaments by paying his opponent to let him win.
13 Trunks vs. Vegeta
Trunks' assault on Vegeta comes when Vegeta allows Semi-Perfect Cell to absorb Android 18, thereby reaching his Perfect form and presenting the Prince of all Saiyans with a challenge. What follows is a battle inside a battle, as Trunks takes on Cell, fending off his meddling father in the meantime.
The fight itself is fairly repetitive, as Vegeta pounds Trunks into the dirt several times, only for Trunks to get up and do exactly the same to Cell, but it stands out as one of the most emotionally-charged battles of Dragon Ball.
Trunks, who had never had the power to defeat the android duo in his time, finally has a chance to make amends by saving the current timeline from Cell, only for his own father to get in the way. Trunks never knew his father in the future timeline, and his one chance to meet Vegeta ends with Trunks blasting him with a massive energy beam.
12 Vegeta vs. Android 18
Trunks' first opportunity to see his father in action doesn't go any more smoothly. Trunks arrives in the present for the second time just as Dr. Gero releases Androids 17 and 18, who were more antagonist than protagonist at this point in the story (if the rules meant the characters had to begin as good guys then Vegeta wouldn't make the list either).
After the duo destroy Gero and prematurely release Android 16, Vegeta challenges the androids solo, and it goes just about as expected. 18 accepts the offer, while 17 keeps watch over the Z Fighters and 16 admires various birds.
After some inventive action sequences, including a Matrix Reloaded style highway chase, Vegeta naturally gets knocked down a peg or two. 18 ends the fight by breaking both of the Prince's arms in devastating fashion, and 17 completes the riot by taking out Piccolo and the rest. 16, meanwhile, looks at birds some more.
11 Piccolo vs. Krillin
Back in the days when Piccolo himself was a villain, he entered the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament with the sole purpose of killing Goku and taking over the world. This after Goku defeated King Piccolo, who used his final breath to spit out an egg so that his offspring could carry out his mission. Piccolo spends the next three years in intensive training, but before he faces off against Goku, he has to go through Krillin in the quarter-finals.
Krillin turns out to be a much tougher opponent than Piccolo had thought, surprising the Namekian just by hanging in there. He even scores a hit, and launches a Kamehameha that might have done some serious damage, if not for the fact that Piccolo was using the Afterimage Technique. Piccolo eventually comes out with the win, nearly killing Krillin along the way, all in a battle the demon simply considered a warm up to the main event.
10 Vegeta vs. Beerus
Beerus also started out as a major antagonist, but through the adventures of Dragon Ball Super, the God of Destruction has become a main character. Whether or not he's a good guy remains up for debate, but he's certainly leaning that way under Goku's influence, while his epic defeat of Zamasu in the Future Trunks arc doesn't harm his case.
Speaking of epic, Vegeta's attack on Beerus in Battle of Gods is one of the standout moments in the entire movie, even if the battle itself ends rather abruptly afterwards. Beerus sets a Vegeta rage boost in motion by slapping Bulma, to which Vegeta replies with a brief assault on the Destruction God.
Vegeta at Super Saiyan 2 level even surpasses Super Saiyan 3 Goku for a short time, as Beerus takes what is probably his only beating ever, at least for a few seconds. Beerus quickly gets himself together and renders Vegeta's boost about as useless as Super Saiyan 3, but it was fun while it lasted.
9 Trunks vs. Goten
Trunks and Goten easily make their way through the junior division at the World Martial Arts Tournament, and with an exhibition match against Mr. Satan awaiting the winner, the two friends face off in the final. The battle is all-round good fun, made even more so by Mr. Satan's terrified reactions as he prepares to take on the winner, and by Goku and Vegeta's parental commentary.
Trunks and Goten actually mirror their parents in the match, with Trunks arrogantly claiming he is the stronger even without his left arm, and eventually winning the match by hitting Goten with a Super Saiyan energy sphere. Goten is innocently blindsided by the blast, which the pair had agreed they wouldn't use, but accepts the loss when Trunks offers him one of his toys.
The match delivers an eye-opening display of the boys' potential, while Trunks goes on to one-punch Mr. Satan out of the ring and into a wall, with the latter claiming to have let the boy win.
8 Goku vs. Master Roshi
Master Roshi enters the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament under the alias Jackie Chun, with the hope of beating Goku to keep him from becoming overconfident and not taking his training seriously. As Goku breezes into the finals, Roshi faces Krillin in the semis, who distracts him with a pair of underwear. Roshi pulls himself together just in time, and goes on to face Goku for the championship.
Master and student go at each other in every which way, with energy beams, new techniques, and even a Great Ape transformation on show, until Roshi destroys the moon with a Max Power Kamehameha.
Roshi ends up taking the fight just by having a longer reach, but Goku shows that he has more than enough talent to match his overconfidence. Roshi himself proves himself to be one of the greatest martial arts teachers, and not just a perverted old man. It's the first significant Dragon Ball battle, with so many twists and turns that it still holds up to this day.
7 Tien vs. Yamcha
Tien began his Dragon Ball career as a major adversary to Goku and Master Roshi, having trained under a rival school, and was on his way to becoming an assassin. He shows his ruthlessness on his way to the finals of the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, first by leaving Nam on the brink of death in the preliminaries, and then during his quarter-final match-up with Yamcha.
Yamcha gets the better of the opening stages, which features some smack talk Vegeta would be proud of ("I can't understand you – I don't speak pain"). But Tien quickly turns the tide in his first true test of the series, reversing Yamcha's Kamehameha and being completely unmoved by the Wolf Fang Fist technique.
Yamcha is on the defensive, but does well to hang in there considering Tien is Goku's equal at this point. That is until he is knocked out by Tien, but even as Yamcha is unconscious on the ground, Tien really introduces himself to the series by needlessly snapping Yamcha's leg. In a brutal display of power, Tien adds real stakes to the World Tournament for the first time in Dragon Ball.
6 Goku vs. Beerus
Goku and Beerus' battle is easily the best-looking in Dragon Ball canon, with only Goku's rematch with Frieza coming close in terms of visuals. The red of the Super Saiyan God transformation and Beerus' purple aura are striking in just about every backdrop, and the battle locale is varied and interesting. Goku and Beerus travel from the city, to a cave and into outer space, all followed by a tracking shot that shows off the Dragon Ball choreography at its finest.
Goku eventually loses the God form, but fights on as a Super Saiyan, matching Beerus as the pair tear through the sky accompanied by a heroic soundtrack. There's really nothing to dislike about the fight, right down to the moment Goku admits defeat, which is a near unthinkable prospect to Dragon Ball fans, and a huge risk that absolutely pays off. It only misses the top five based on the calibre of the battles still to come.
5 Goku vs. Majin Vegeta
Goku and Vegeta's long-awaited rematch is a classic Dragon Ball Z moment. Seeing the two warriors go at it once more-- Vegeta's pent up frustration at every blow he lands, the result of years' worth of training, the return of Vegeta's dark side-- that's what Dragon Ball Z is all about. And if you can find us a better line than "But there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps: HIS PRIDE!"… Well, you can't.
Unfortunately, the battle isn't quite as untouchable as our top four, and it does come with some basic flaws. The first and most obvious being that Goku has Super Saiyan 3 up his sleeve by this point, which could not only have prevented Buu's resurrection, but essentially makes the whole thing a sparring match.
Otherwise, the fight just isn't as inventive as it could have been, with the choreography repeating itself at several stages, but it remains an epic payoff for long-time DBZ fans.
4 Goku vs. Tien
After his brutal defeat of Yamcha, Tien faces Jackie Chun in the semi-finals of the 22nd World Tournament. Roshi ends up forfeiting, not because he is outmatched, but to show Tien that there is more than one path to follow.
Tien goes on to battle Goku, gaining the upper hand almost immediately, but quickly realizing that Chiaotzu has frozen Goku to the spot under Master Shen's orders. Shen orders Tien to kill Goku, but Tien rejects his request, following Master Roshi's path and demanding a fair fight.
The fight itself is even till the end, with some new techniques and plenty of twists and turns on show, greatly eclipsing the previous final between Goku and Roshi. But the match proves to be more of a character study of Tien, who wins the fight and thus the tournament, but offers Goku half the prize money, and Yamcha an apology, becoming an ally to the Z Fighters for the first time.
3 Piccolo vs. Android 17
The battle aside, Android 17's status as a DBZ protagonist is the glaring issue here. That said, 17 is returning to play a major role in the upcoming Universal Survival arc of Dragon Ball Super, and we'll take what we can get if it means his fight with Piccolo gets a place on this list.
Every Dragon Ball Z battle follows more or less the same formula; the villain beats the Z Fighters easily, until Goku (or Gohan in one case) finds a way to get stronger, and which point he massively overpowers the villain... repeat as many times as is necessary. In the fights that seem more even, such as Goku vs. Majin Vegeta, one combatant is generally hiding their true power or concealing a transformation. Piccolo vs. Android 17 is possibly the one exception to this rule.
The battle is even from start to finish, as both go at it with everything they've got. In Piccolo's final important contribution to the story, we get one more look at his full and extensive power set as he matches the android blow-for-blow at a particularly desperate point in the series. The fight only ends when Cell arrives to absorb the androids, which leaves the fate of the most evenly-matched DBZ battle perfectly balanced.
2 Goku vs. Piccolo
The final battle of Dragon Ball and by far the longest in the original series, Piccolo finally gets his chance to challenge Goku for the title of the 23rd World Tournament. It's the fight that everything in Dragon Ball had been building to, and it certainly doesn't disappoint, with the high stakes and destruction serving as a neat segue into the blockbuster battles of Dragon Ball Z.
Piccolo's full array of techniques are on show once more, while Goku has the added incentive of freeing Kami from inside Piccolo. He gets the chance to do so when Piccolo increases in size, and Goku flies down his throat, but Piccolo cripples Goku not long after with a sneak Mouth Energy Wave.
Without the use of his arms and legs, Goku flies for the first time in the series, defeating Piccolo in the same way he beat his father – a headbutt to the chest. The series ends with Goku having shown mercy to Piccolo Jr. by offering him a senzu bean, which would play an important role in Piccolo's DBZ redemption arc.
1 Goku vs. Vegeta I
Goku's original battle with the Prince of all Saiyans is widely regarded as one of the best in anime, and for good reason. The pacing is perfect, the animation is beautiful, but most importantly, the stakes are real. The fight came at a time in the series when death actually mattered, and with Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu all out of the picture, Goku and the rest were running out of options. The desperation is such that even Yajirobe has to get involved, and let's face it – everyone would be dead if he hadn't.
Vegeta had been teasing us through the entire Saiyan saga. We were promised a legendary battle between the last members of the Saiyan race, and we got just that in the Kamehameha/Galick Gun stand-off alone. The action is no-holds-barred from the top, as the proud Saiyan pair throw just about everything they've got at one another, including the final canon appearance of the Great Ape. In that respect, the fight is the perfect way to round off Dragon Ball, and set into motion the rivalry that would become the very heart of Dragon Ball Z.

Listview Form Doesn't Display All Query Items Anymore, Access 2013 Web App

Hi folks,
Normally, the listView shows the first so many items and it retrieves more when you scroll down. For some reason in OnPremises SharePoint2016, it stops after an arbitrary amount of records and retrieves some more when you scroll down (but not always). The more simple the underlying query is, the better the ListView form works but the query itself always returns the correct dataset. We can tell by having the query result in a datasheet as well. It we use the filter control from a ListView, each existing record is always found. Even when it's not displayed in the ListView list part. In Ofice365 everything works okay.
Does anyone have similar experiences or perhaps even a solution?
Kind regards, Rob

It looks as if this is an old problem that has been solved on O365 SharePoint but not on On Premises SharePoint 2016. I found this in a google cache of (a not existing anymore) AWA-uservoice webpage.
Fix serious flaw in Access Web App LIST view
LIST view shows fewer items than actually exist. Below is the response I received back from Microsoft Partner Support who obviously have know idea what is going on so they have passed the buck to this forum.
I have seen this issue across various forums including our community (Post URL https://partnersupport.microsoft.com/en-us/...1-46f4ddec0477). It appears that the issue occurs widely but very sporadically. There should be a flaw in Access Web Apps. Hence I would like to suggest you go to the Access Web Apps uservoice site and report this issue to the Product Group via this channel:
Additionally, you may contact the Office 365 local support to double confirm this issue. It is a free support and you can get the support phone numbers from here.
Thanks for your understanding and patience. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Anonymous san
This is Yoshiki Tojo, from Tokyo, Japan.
I could not determine your issue. We could insert the field to List View from available list.
I have experienced no limitations. Do you have some limitations, on List view?
I think there are very little issues on List view, comparing with Data sheet view.
I'm sure Data sheet view development is difficult for product engineer.
However Jackie is an excellent staff of MS partner network.
If Jackie has recognized this as an issue, it will be true.
Pleas let me know your pointed out issue details, if you have enough time to report.
I'll try it.

Did some testing because I couldn't understand I didn't encounter this problem in 2012-2015. It doesn't occur if you have the indexing perfectly matched with the query (which of course I did back then :-). Now issues whatsoever with more than 10,000 records
The ListForm is just not overloading the database server if your query isn't indexed properly. I know now again why I loooove Access Web Apps :-).

Well they're closing the case again. No support On Premises either. Read from the bottom up.
HI Aleksandar,
I presume Access Web Service 2010 and 2013 are deployed as Service Applications in SharePoint. With these being put to end of life in O365 and unsupported (but there) in On Premises SharePoint, Microsoft could make the source and compiling environment publicly available. It would be very easy to gather dozens to hundreds of developers that are interested in fora like accessusergroups.org and UtterAccess.com.
I have no clue on whats going to happen in MS-Access 2020 Desktop but certainly the Access Web App mode will stay in there (regarding the service will still be in the next version of SharePoint).
At this moment many developers try to migrate to products like Zoho Creator a.t.l. Those developers have been loyal to Microsoft for decades and feel left out in the cold by Microsoft the way things are now.
Not just the AWA-developers but also a lot of MS-Access Desktop developers could be very interested of the SharePoint Webservices would remain to be supported and expanded. I know of a number of MVPs that would very gladly invest their time and money in an Interest Group on Access Web Apps.
Kind regards,

Hello Gerard,
Thank you for the e-mail.
Youre correct, the access apps are supported for the on-premises versions of SharePoint. However, your issue seems not to be related to configuration but something deeper related to the source code, thats why you wont be charged for this service request.
As we discussed over the phone in the internally logged issue Ive found that adding index is the only available workaround at the moment. Unfortunately, I have no information how safe this method is.
As agreed, I will push for an additional information and once I receive it I will share it with you.
Thank you for your collaboration and understanding.

Hi Aleksandar,
We only accept closing of this case after you (Microsoft) have confirmed that the workaround of adding indexes is a fail-safe method that (if applied properly) guarantees returning complete query results.
The Access Apps were announced to remain supported for the normal product lifecycle and it will be part of the next Sharepoint version after 2016. So, regardless of the termination of the product in 365, Access Apps should be a fully working environment on premises for many years to come. The product could not be considered fully functional if completeness of query results would not be certain with the workaround, we therefore need the confirmation from Microsoft that the workaround is a 100% solution.

Hello Gerard Timmerman,
Further to our phone conversation Im sending you this e-mail.
This support request will now be archived. If you have further problems within the scope of this issue, please do reopen the support request.
You may receive an invitation from Microsoft to complete a brief web survey. Your feedback is very important to us. We use it to continually improve our service. We would appreciate it if you can take the time to complete this survey. In addition, if you would like to discuss any feedback you can contact me or my manager using the contact information in my signature.
Below is a summary of the support request for your records:
Symptom - When the cx opens an access app in the SharePoint, then the table "tblCache" and click on the button to generate new sessions "Create for this session" in the form "Test" all of the records "Employees" table are being generated but only 50 of them shown in the view. If the user searches for the item "51" it's shown. The total number of the items is 1900. In the Datasheet view only 50items are shown.
CX has made the following tests:
"1 We created a second identical Query and discovered that swapping the query for the same datasheet view would consistently produce 50 rows with the original query, and 1900 rows with the new identical query. The new identical query had the unreliable effect of showing reducing numbers of rows when repeatedly using the scroll bar; like 1900 -> 745 -> 250 -> 180 etc rows on each movement of the scrollbar.
2 We added an index on the SessionString field and with that index both queries worked flawlessly ! Both datasheet view and list view now keep showing the full 1900 items."
Cause - N/A
Resolution - Expected behavior where the only available workaround is to add index
My first priority is to make sure that I have reached or exceeded your expectations regarding this support.
If I can continue to assist you or if you have other suggestions for improving our support, please feel free to contact me or my manager, Nikolay Tenev.
If you have suggestions for improving the SharePoint product, you can submit them here aka.ms/spfeedback (you can also participate in voting for existing submissions).

Denmark - one of the best places to live and work (photo credit: 2015-05-03 via photopin (license))
Forbes – the American business magazine – like lists. It publishes lists of the richest people and the world's top companies for example, and I've been looking at their list of the best and worst countries for business in 2015.
It's not hard to work out why the countries at the bottom have acquired the worst label. They are where economic, social and political strife occur; where there is hunger and uncertainty, high unemployment and low life expectations. But I wonder if the top rated countries have anything in common.
- Denmark
- New Zealand
- Norway
- Ireland
- Sweden
- Finland
- Canada
- Singapore
- Netherlands
- United Kingdom
The most obvious common factor is small populations – the first six countries have less than 10 million people – and a stable democratic political system.
Six of these countries also appear in the Top Ten of countries with the best quality of life (worked out by combining life expectancy at birth with gross national income per capita). Norway is actually number 1 on that list compiled by Maps of the World and the others are: Denmark, Netherlands, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand,
I wasn't sure how to assess civil rights, but finally decided on the Rainbow Ranking of Europe. This is where countries are judged on a scale between 0% (gross violations of human rights, discrimination) and 100% (respect of human rights, full equality) with reference to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual and intersexual people. The United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands all appear in the top ten.
The Economist magazine produced a "glass-ceiling index" on International Women's Day 2016 to show where women have the best chances of equal treatment at work. It included data on higher education, labour-force participation, pay, child-care costs, maternity rights and representation in senior jobs. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and New Zealand all appear in the Top Ten
Read the full Fobes report HERE
You can find Maps of the World HERE
And the Rainbow Ranking is HERE
Check out the Glass Ceiling Index HERE
So, Denmark and Norway appear in all these top ten lists where average tempertures range from 0.0˚C (32˚F) to 15.7˚C (60˚F).
Perhaps a defining characteristic of a good place to live is that cardigans are needed all year round.

The Sun Rises in the East is a classic hip-hop album from the early 1990s. It is chock full of great -- really, really great -- beats courtesy of DJ Premier and is almost flawless, other than the annoying and degrading track "Da Bichez." Jeru takes aim at commercial rap artists and record labels with a flow that is at times purposely off-cadence and was beautifully original for the era. He followed it up with another great turn-in, Wrath of the Math.
Now, 15 years later, Jeru the Damaja is playing the White Room. He has put out a few so-so records since Math and no longer works with Premier, but I imagine that he will be doing some of the classics that made him famous. Hopefully we won't be subjected to a 45 minute a capella freestyle, which he is known to do from time to time. Either way it's worth the money to see a guy as talented as Jeru can be.

Car Seat and Baby Rash
This time I wondered if they only made infant seats just purely for the fact that they are easily removable? And that you could carry them from the car to the house in the seat? I can see the advantage of that, especially with two kids, especially if the baby is sleeping. But, since we rarely left Luke in that seat, we decided we wouldn't do it with our new baby.
We bought the big car seat that can be used in the early days, and then converted into a front facing seat, that stays in the car. The one disadvantage is that the seat is so bulky, I can't reach around to hand her anything while I'm driving (at a stop light of course). So I questioned the decision. So much so that my husband and I went to target last night and bought an infant seat, thinking it would magically be better. We put it into the car, same thing, we couldn't reach around it too, it's just too far back there. I couldn't tell it was any different as far as me being able to reach. After all that, my husband taking the old seat out and putting it into the trunk, opening the new one and putting that into the car, we took it out and took it back inside and got our money back. Should have just gone with my original idea. Plus, those nice (expensive) convertible seats are lot better quality than the infant ones.
I noticed Taryn barely had any baby acne. Luke had quite a bit more.
I figured it out. My midwife gave us those papers after the baby was born on care for mother and baby. I noticed that those papers mentioned a lot more natural remedies than the ones we were given with Luke. One that really stuck out was that we shouldn't use any commercial wipes for our newborn. We should only be using water with cloth. We were planning on doing that anyway (maybe adding some almond oil) but only because we got cloth wipes to go along with our cloth diapers that we're going to have to wash anyway. I read on, it said don't use commercial soap or lotion or oil. So we've really only used a wet cloth when we need to wipe something off of her. We haven't even given her a bath *GASP*. And I never even planned to after we stopped using any harsh soaps or shampoo on Luke too. In fact we really only use soap on Luke's hands. I sometimes put some natural soap on him, but very rarely.
I wondered today, was it the soaps, lotions and oils causing babies to get a lot of baby acne? I looked it up and even baby center said that it could cause more rashes.
Then I thought about what they gave us for Luke in the hospital. They used Johnson and Johnson on him when he was a day old. Then they gave us the bottle. Then someone else bought us that soap too. So we used it. We had no idea. Luke's wasn't that bad either... we didn't bath him that regularly as a baby either.
Isn't that wrong? Everyone recommends not using soap, lotion or oil. Then why does the hospital use it? Why does everyone give it? Ugg, advertising...

I missed a couple of your posts, how did that happen?
Weird you couldn't reach back around the carseat. I was able to do that for Michael (thank goodness).
Michael got a lot of acne around 3 weeks old, but it wasn't from cosmetics. We were told not to use anything but water on him. I have heard the acne is from the mother's hormones that get into the baby's body (I think before they are born), and it usually takes a few weeks before the acne flares up, and the acne goes away once the hormones are out of their system.
However, it makes sense that the lotion and soap would make it worse.

Our usual Pattern of Worship:
9.15 am Holy Communion (Common Worship)
Held each Sunday apart from the third Sunday of the month when instead we have:
9.15 am Morning Prayer (Common Worship)
Whichever Sunday it is, the 9.15 service is a traditional service with robed choir and organ.
11 o'clock Service
Lasting about one hour this is a service of all-age worship with music group and a mix of traditional hymns and more contemporary worship songs.
Children leave for their groups about 10 -15 minutes into the service and after the ever-popular Action Song.
On the third Sunday of each month we celebrate Holy Communion. The children return to the service to receive Communion or a Blessing, and often show the congregation what they have been doing in their group time.
Please stay for tea or filter coffee after all our services.
Joint and special Services
At certain times in the year (Mothering Sunday, Easter, Harvest and Christmas) our service times change to allow for Joint Services at 10.30am when the whole church family comes together to worship.
We also hold special week day services during Christmas time and Lent including Ash Wednesday, also in Holy Week and on Ascension Day.
Please look out for special notices about all our occasional services.

The GRAPHIC DESIGN process is a problem solving process. A process that requires creativity, innovation and technical expertise.
It is critical for the designer to fully understand the client, their goals, their competitors, and the target audience. This information is then translated into a visual solution created from the utilization of shape, color, imagery, typography and space.
This is what I love to do.
"William K. Lucas has the rare ability to transform any challenge, any opportunity, into something of style, beauty, grace and function. He's a jaw-dropping, where-did-that-idea-come-from creative visionary, artist, illustrator, designer and imagineer.

Gett is an Israeli-based startup that connects people with taxi drivers. Customers in cities across the globe can order a taxi through the company's website or a GPS-based mobile app. Gett operates in more than 50 major cities, including New York, London, and Moscow, in addition to 13 cities in Israel.
Gett is a fast-growing company, with several million people using the service in cities around the world. "We are growing at a rate of 300 percent per year right now," says Lior Bar-On, the company's chief architect. "We are expanding quickly throughout Europe and adding new cities all the time." To support this rapid growth, Gett requires the ability to quickly scale its website and mobile app back end. "We continuously need to add more compute to meet customer demand," Bar-On says.
As it continues to expand, Gett strives to deliver better app performance at a lower price. "We want to be able to augment capacity for performance, but we're still a startup and are always looking to reduce our costs," Bar-On says. Gett also wants to get more out of its data. "We need to have a strong data-analysis solution, so we can make more informed business decisions based on data from the field," says Bar-On.
In addition, the company needs flexibility for both its production and development environments. "When it comes to production, we need to be able to make changes immediately, whether it's adding compute or memory, trying a new technology quickly, or setting up a Hadoop cluster with hundreds of nodes for a few days," Bar-On says. "We also need to try out new configurations and set up new systems for our developers to test before we push them live."
To meet its business requirements, Gett chose to launch its web and mobile platforms on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. "AWS is the most advanced cloud technology company and offers the widest range of services," says Bar-On. "That's why our company chose to be on AWS from day one."
Gett runs its website and mobile app on several hundred Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. The company uses Auto Scaling to scale its EC2 capacity up or down automatically, based on user demand. Recently, Gett chose to reduce some of its costs by taking advantage of Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, which give customers the opportunity to use unused Amazon EC2 capacity at a discounted price. The company runs the Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) service on Amazon EC2 Spot Instances to help them process huge amounts of data.
Gett also uses Amazon Redshift as its primary data warehouse. "We put all kinds of business activity data into Redshift, including change logs, transactions, and ride data," says Bar-On. Additionally, Gett uses AWS CodeCommit as a backup and disaster-recovery service for several of its DevOps processes. Using AWS CodeCommit, Gett does not have to manage its own source-control system for those processes.
Using AWS, Gett can scale its mobile app and website to meet an ever-growing number of users. "We're growing at 300 percent annually, and we have the ability to meet that growth using AWS. We can scale our service as much as we need to and as fast as we need to," says Bar-On. "We can provision new servers in just a few minutes, so we know we'll be able to quickly keep pace with our rapid business growth."
Gett is able to augment capacity to optimize performance, while significantly lowering costs, by using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. Approximately 90 percent of the company's non-production Amazon EC2 instances are EC2 Spot Instances, with 65 percent of production instances running as EC2 Spot Instances. "We are saving $800,000 annually by taking advantage of Amazon EC2 Spot Instances," says Bar-On. "We can now increase our capacity very cost-effectively."
Gett uses Amazon Redshift and EMR to gain new business insights from its data. "Using Amazon Redshift as our data warehouse, we can get important key performance indicators and metrics about our data," Bar-On says. "For example, we can analyze past events such as the connection between showing drivers the destination in earlier stages of the matching process versus the driver being willing to accept all ride types. We are using these metrics to improve our service to our customers and improve our business overall."
Gett also has more operational flexibility. "Using EMR, we can set up hundreds of nodes in our Hadoop cluster whenever we need, and we can shut the cluster down when we don't need to use it," Bar-On says. "We can also push data into AWS CodeCommit for some of our secondary DevOps processes, which gives us the flexibility to deploy code from either GitHub or CodeCommit. That supports our DevOps approach, which depends on agility and flexibility." As Gett grows, the company looks to use additional AWS services to help drive that growth. "AWS is improving and innovating all the time, and the platform keeps evolving rapidly," says Bar-On. "We're excited to follow AWS into the future."

The philosophy that we employ at Armada Assets can be explained by these famous quotes:
"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand."
Vince Lombardi
"There is no substitute for hard work."
Thomas A. Edison
Under this philosophy we feel our hard work gets paid off when we hear great things from our clients, some recent ones are shared below:
My client manager has always provided a professional and personalised service. Was always there when I needed questions answered whether by phone, email or in person and returned calls promptly. The friendly and helpful nature gave me peace of mind and made the process seamless. I have no hesitation in recommending Armada Assets for investments to my family and friends.B, Paul

I got the best personal and professional service from Armada.Q, Asif
Armada Assets is a pure facilitator of investments with guaranteed returns substantially surpassing most at minimum risks. This is significant considering the erosion of income from bank interests on which retirees rely for their wellbeing. That 30% of my portfolio investment with them generates 70% of my total portfolio returns is reflective of their performance.....and above all, the client manageress is proactive and ever willing to help with the burden of paperwork.N, Tailor
Dealing with Armada assets has always been a joyful experience. Having someone like my client manager to answer any questions on the range of investments at all times has enabled me to invest successfully and with peace of mind ensuring great returns.

My client manager has been extremely professional and prompt. Will highly recommend Armada Assets to anyone who would like to diversify their investments.N, Santosh
Very happy to include Armada Assets and more specifically James & Jasmine as part of my wealth creation/preservation team. In this current, crazy global financial system, driven by central bank's intent on driving rates of return into negative territory, it very comforting to have a team of very professional people helping me with my portfolio in the 'alternative investment space'. I would highly recommend these guys.P, Smith
I thank my client manager for keeping me updated on the investment opportunities and products from time to time! Your timely input, professionalism and immediate follow up on any queries raised from time to time is much appreciated.Dr I Desai
I have been with Armada Assets for some years now and find all of the Client Managers professional but down to earth. We are very pleased with the service that we get from Armada Assets and would recommend them to any of our friends, family or anyone.S, Cherrett Director
I'm very pleased to have made the investment with Armada assets. My client manager is very kind and professional and I'm extremely satisfied about it. I'm also very happy with their service, they are doing a great job.Z, Mahmoud
My client manager has always been the ultimate professional in her dealings with me. She is very well informed about the investments that she recommends.

The Tesco.com Grocery API has been 'on air' since just before Christmas 2008 and your feedback has been outstanding. So over the next few weeks you will start to see a major upgrade to the API taking place which will:
1) Take on-board your feedback,
2) Offer new functionality and interfaces,
3) Release some constraints imposed by the current set of terms and conditions, and
4) Starting now - completely release the 'count' limits imposed on the current service.
The API is currently being re-developed to take on the functionality of our new forthcoming 'Martini' grocery platform which offers a powerful step-change in what we can bring to the customers in a great new grocery application.
The current API will continue to function but the new service will run alongside it. As 'Martini' rolls out then the old API will start being closed down - probably around Sept 2009. I'll give precise dates of when this happen as soon as I have them.
In your feedback:
You wanted: To use the API for applications you wish to release to customers.
We will: Release conditions stopping you from doing this currently. A new set of terms will be published which you will need to agree to before you start to use the new API. You'll be pleasantly surprised about what we will be letting you do! Price comparison? Selling your apps? Getting your users to rely on your apps? Yes yes yes do whatever you like. All we won't let you do is portray Tesco in a bad way politically, nor store private info without customers permission, nor sell insight on to competitors from customers using your applications, nor use Tesco branded images other than those that will be provided to you, nor attempt any form of denial of service. Apart from that you can do what you like using our API.
You wanted: To access customer product favourites.
We will: give you full access to favourites and previous ordered products through the new API. Great if you fancy trying out some 'prediction' ideas.
You wanted: Extended product info (e.g. nutrition, fat content etc).
You will: Have access to all data we can provide through extended calls.
You wanted: To checkout customers so they don't have to checkout through our web site.
We will: Provide limited checkout facilities although this may not be on 'day 1' of the new API. The challenge we have is allowing third parties between us and customers when taking payment. Customers need to trust that your application won't take their card details and store them or act nefariously with this info. We'll be looking at the 'using stored card' facility on our web site going forward but we have to be careful and I hope you understand this. Thoughts on how to improve on this will be gratefully received. We operate within strict Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance and there is nothing we must do even slightly risk that compliance.
You wanted: A RESTful web service interface.
We will: Aim to provide this on or very soon after Day 1 although it is unlikely to be a 'pure' REST interface because of the need to login and authenticate customers, and offer different product ranges dependent on the Tesco branch from which we deliver to them. If you can accept the need for POST data and/or cookies then REST will be a nice simple way of accessing the API. RESTful purists beware you may feel a degree of dissatisfaction!
You wanted: A simpler and quicker way of accessing categories.
We will: Provide a cached category interface that's fast to download.
You wanted: Vastly speeded-up product searching when including ratings.
We will: Rewrite this ratings facility to be available in a different call to product search (using an array of product objects).
You wanted: Unlimited calling of the API, including full product counts on returned searches rather than any limit.
We will: Release these limits tonight (7 July 2009).
You wanted: To access our customers to get some ideas about what they would like from a Tesco grocery application.
We will: Be providing a Tesco.com Innovation Day called 'T-JAM' to be held in central London on the evening of 5th August 2009. Follow my blog which will soon provide a link for you to register if you fancy joining us.
You wanted: to help us help you make money from your application.
We will: Give you access to our affiliates scheme where customers using your application will make you money. After all, we want to incentivise developers to create best-of-breed applications!
So to summarise: A great new Tesco.com Grocery API is coming which will offer extended facilities and faster performance, enable you to obtain an affiliate income from the customers who use your application, and find out what customers are asking for at our T-JAM event coming soon.
Thanks for reading and I hope to meet you at T-Jam in London on 5th August.
Best regards

We offer state-of-the-art, up to date level of care surgery. What exactly does that mean? It means that we have spared no expense in the construction of our state-of-the-art surgery suite including a brand-new multi-positional surgery table, auto adjusting heating and cooling water blankets to maintain patient temperature while under anesthesia, gas anesthesia machine using isoflurane, sevorflurane or desflurane with or without a ventilator, Steris pendant surgical lights, patient monitor ( electrocardiogram, venous blood percent oxygen concentration, end-tidal CO2, dual patient temperature, noninvasive blood pressure, dual heart rate, respiration rate, and esophageal stethoscope).
The best equipment that we have available is our well-trained staff who are constantly monitoring your patient while under anesthesia not only using the training that they have and the equipment available but they're invaluable experience in detecting early changes while under anesthesia so that compensatory actions can be made making for the safest anesthesia around.
We encourage all patients to have preanesthetic blood work performed prior to any anesthetic episode, but especially elective procedures to ensure that the medications we administer can be processed appropriately into the active drug form as well as metabolized into the inactive drug form and be effectively eliminated from the body. Our minimum requirements for any scheduled anesthetic episode is that the patient be current on heartworm prevention and have negative heartworm test within the last year. The reasoning behind this minimum requirement is that heartworm are very real and placing a patient under anesthesia puts extra demand on the load of the heart and we need to know that the increased stress that were placing on the heart is not compromised by an active heartworm infection that could lead to death under anesthesia.
Anesthesia is only part of the equation. It is the actual surgical procedure itself and how it is performed with the utmost care and precision, and keeping up-to-date with the latest techniques used. Because Dr. O'Bryan still works in human surgery and because, in general, human surgery standard of care exceeds that of veterinary medicine he is able to bring some of those techniques used on us to our pets resulting in shorter surgical anesthesia time and resulting in faster recovery times.
When it comes to surgical instrumentation I think that you'll find we have some of the best around. We are meticulous in keeping our instrumentation up to the performance by having all of our scissors sharpened routinely and any instrument that is not working properly is immediately taken out of service and either sent for repairs or replaced with a new instrument. Furthermore, we critique the cleaning and sterilization of our surgical instruments and surgical packs to the same standards as if they were going to be used on ourselves.

Panel Cuts Ties With Accreditor
WASHINGTON (AP) -- An advisory panel to the Education Department has voted to recommend the government sever ties with a group that accredits many of the nation's for-profit colleges, including schools once owned by the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges Inc. -- a critical vote that could lead schools to close their doors and threaten financial aid to hundreds of thousands of students.
The final decision on whether to revoke federal recognition of the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, the nation's largest accreditor of for-profit schools, will be made by a senior official at the department in the next few months.
After that, if the department goes along with the Thursday's recommendation, the hundreds of schools now accredited by the council would have to find a new accreditor in 18 months or lose their ability to participate in federal financial aid programs, such as student loans and Pell Grants.
The council has been accused of lax oversight at some of its schools. The council oversees about 250 colleges and schools and more than 600 additional campuses in 47 states, covering some 800,000 students. Its schools received $4.7 billion in federal aid for students last year.
During the meeting, which lasted more than 10 hours, the head of the council acknowledged missteps.
"We sincerely believe that we can solve and address the legitimate issues the department has flagged," Anthony Bieda said. "We do not say this lightly and we take the department's concerns very seriously."
Bieda said the council had made changes, including stepped-up monitoring of its schools, new leadership and a committee to review standards and practices.
That wasn't enough for the independent advisory panel, which voted 10-3 against continuing recognition of the council.
"This agency failed to act in an appropriate and timely manner," said panel member Ralph Wolff. He said the council neglected to dive deeply into years of allegations of fraud and misrepresentation for some of its schools.
"I know this is going to disrupt human lives," said panel member Kathleen Sullivan Alioto. She said she hoped the vote "will send a signal" to accreditors to take their responsibilities seriously.
Last week, a staff recommendation from the department proposed withdrawing recognition for the council, saying "its monitoring regime appears insufficient to deter widespread misconduct regarding placement, recruiting and admissions."
Advocacy groups, lawmakers and others have long complained about the council. It has been accused of continuing to accredit schools under investigation for falsifying job placement rates and claims for federal aid, illegal recruiting practices and misleading marketing claims.
The council had allowed Corinthian Colleges, one of the largest chains of for-profit colleges, to continue to receive accreditation even while it was under investigation for fraud. Corinthian sold many of its campuses, closed others and filed for bankruptcy protection last year. Thousands of its former students are asking the Education Department to forgive their federal loans, in a taxpayer bailout that could top $3 billion.
Other council-accredited schools, such as ITT Technical Institute, are currently under investigation.
Finding new accreditation for schools would take time.
"Under the best of circumstances, it takes schools a year to 18 months to get accredited," said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education.
Hartle said institutions that have experienced problems, such as ITT, "are probably not going to be the first ones to receive accreditation from other accreditors. They're going to be looked at very carefully."
At some schools accredited by ACICS, students said this week they didn't know that their institutions were at risk of losing accreditation.
At Salter College in Malden, Massachusetts, near Boston, Maria Depina said she plans to finish her program and become a medical assistant before any 18-month deadline passes, but she worries about other students.
"I have a couple friends that are talking about coming to school here," said Depina, of Dorchester, Massachusetts. "I don't want them to be stuck in the middle of nowhere."
Financial aid during the time schools would need to find a new accreditor would not be affected. However, federal aid would cease after the 18-month deadline if affected schools don't get a new seal of approval from an accreditor. Students caught up in the mess also might be able to transfer their credits to new schools.

Our tradition of superior design and craftsmanship started in 1906
A History of Craftsmanship
We began our journey as Kalamazoo Sheet Metal more than a century ago. As a custom sheet metal fabrication shop, the family-owned company relied on its reputation for craftsmanship. Through the years, a focus on custom food and dairy processing equipment evolved. The "dairy standard" describes a flawless fit and finish level for stainless steel welding. Every seam has to be finished perfectly so that the equipment can be easily cleaned and kept free from bacteria. Kalamazoo Sheet Metal excelled at this, but also served architectural firms and the pharmaceutical industry on a wide variety of projects.
The Birth of the Hybrid Fire Grill™
In the nineties the first Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill was born. It did not follow the conventional industry template. A heavy-gauge welded frame offered lasting durability. Casters from industrial dumpsters gave warning of its ruggedness. A deep, hopper-like firebox improved the heat dynamics and made it easier to clean. And, above all, it was designed to combine the convenience of a gas grill with the superior cooking capabilities of a charcoal grill. The outcome was a gigantic departure from the previous expectations of stainless steel grill.
The Birth of a New Company
These unique grills developed a passionate and loyal following over the next few years. Kalamazoo's focus slowly shifted exclusively to outdoor cooking equipment, but it was still the same craftspeople putting their skills into every bend, weld and stroke of the hand-rubbed finish. The "dairy standard" was (and is) still alive and well.
Before long, we pioneered the first modular outdoor kitchens. The seamless rain gutter that keeps our outdoor kitchen cabinets weather-tight is the same rain gutter we used to fabricate the wash-down electrical enclosures on that dairy equipment.
Today, more than a century after our humble beginnings, we are the industry leader in outdoor kitchens. Every piece of Kalamazoo's equipment is still built by hand with the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship. We build it to order, and we ship directly from our factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan to homes all over the globe. When each grill has been through the process of cutting, forming, welding, finishing, assembly and testing, it is signed by the people who made it with their own hands.
A Heritage of Innovations in Outdoor Cooking
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is the leader in outdoor kitchens. Our grills, pizza ovens, refrigeration and cabinetry set the standard for performance, quality and innovation in each of their categories. We invented Hybrid Fire Grilling, and Kalamazoo still builds the only high-performance gas grill that also cooks with charcoal and wood. That spirit of innovation is just as much a part of the rest of our outdoor kitchen collection. Each piece is distinctive in the world of outdoor kitchens.
Outdoor Grills
Aside from being the best gas grill money can buy, a Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill also allows you to cook with wood and charcoal. We invented the Hybrid Fire Grill in the late 1990s, and have since perfected the technology behind it. The Kalamazoo is the only grill available that gives you the freedom to cook with three fuels - on one grill. We have settled the age old gas versus charcoal debate once and for all – why choose when you can cook with both? Thanks to our advanced design and deep firebox, these excel at every outdoor cooking technique there is.
Outdoor Pizza Oven
With the introduction of the Artisan Fire Pizza Oven, Kalamazoo brought the convenience of cooking with a gas flame to outdoor pizza making. The sleek countertop model features two independently-controlled burners and reaches temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The Artisan Fire Pizza Oven was designed to mimic the heat characteristics of a wood fired pizza oven, but with the modern convenience of a gas fueled flame. The Kalamazoo pizza oven has it all; a quick pre-heat, dual-control burners for ultimate cooking precision, and the ability to make incredible pizzas with ease at a moment's notice.
Outdoor Refrigeration
Kalamazoo's expansive range of outdoor refrigeration is the most powerful and advanced available. The full lineup includes more than 25 different outdoor appliances, including the industry's first outdoor freezer.
A Kalamazoo outdoor refrigerator is one of the only refrigerators currently available that can keep your groceries at food-safe temperatures, even when the mercury rises to 110 degrees. Advanced insulation, powerful compressors and forced-air cooling are all key components that help keep your food and beverages chilled and ready for your next party.
Outdoor Cabinets
Kalamazoo makes the only weather-tight cabinetry available. Our full line of outdoor kitchen cabinets feature seamless rain gutters around every door and drawer opening to channel water and debris away. Dishes, cookware, linens and utensils stay clean and dry all year long, no matter what Mother Nature throws at them.

The U.S. Tax Court today held that a "short sale" and debt forgiveness with respect to a nonrecourse loan on the taxpayers' residential real estate were parts of one transaction. The court found the transaction did not generate cancellation-of-indebtedness (COI) income or gain or loss.
The case is: Simonsen v. Commissioner, 150 T.C. No. 8 (March 14, 2018). Read the Tax Court's opinion [PDF 131 KB]
The taxpayers (husband and wife) in 2005 bought a home in northern California and financed the purchase with nonrecourse debt. Following the downturn in the economy, the couple in 2010 moved out of the house and converted it to rental property.
The taxpayers eventually faced a mortgage debt much greater than the value of the home. They were unable to keep up with their loan payments, and negotiated a "short sale." The bank discharged the debt.
The taxpayers believed the short sale and the debt forgiveness were two separate transactions that resulted in both a substantial deductible loss and excludable COI income.
The IRS, however, determined that this was one sale or exchange; that there was no COI income; and that there was no deductible loss. The IRS assessed a tax deficiency of approximately $70,000 and imposed an accuracy-related penalty of almost $14,000.
The Tax Court today held that the short sale and and debt forgiveness were part of one sale or exchange, and that the amount realized included the discharged nonrecourse debt. The court found no COI income.
As the court further explained, because the home loan was nonrecourse debt, the amount realized on the sale included the discharged debt. The taxpayers received no consideration in addition to the bank's forgiveness cancelling the loan balance. Accordingly, the amount realized was greater than their loss basis in the property, but less than their gain basis in the property (pursuant to Reg. section 1.165-9(b)(2)). The court thus concluded when property is sold for an amount between those bases, there is neither a gain nor a loss on the sale.
The Tax Court held that the taxpayers were not liable for the accuracy-related penalty under section 6662(a).
