Without doubt, Hydraulic tiles will play a leading role in your decoration if you want to get a different and original ambiance, inspired by the 30s and 40s. Vintage style is an elegant look, with romantic air than match old designs with more modern features. Combined with the suitable furniture and complements, you will achieve that ´retro´ touch you are looking for.
Hydraulic floors in modern designs
The decorative tiles will make your rooms different, with a fun touch. As in this room with a hydraulic floor that match perfectly with soft tones, do you think that the rectangle created by these hydraulic tiles looks like a carpet? The ceramic offers you infinite possibilities in decoration.
In Mercasur, you will find a wide range of materials and we will give you the ideas your need. We have a large catalogue of tiles and hydraulic floors in Estepona, Marbella, Sotogrande and Gibraltar.
The plinths of this corridor seem to be made of ancient tiles, isn´t it? Technological innovation allows the current ceramic reproduce the hydraulic tile as if it were real. The whole decorative resulting, helped by the use of wood and a cream-colored ceramic floor in addition, is a rustic environment.
Although it was fashionable until the 70s, the hydraulic tiles have come with strength to stay. In Mercasur Estepona you will discover different varieties of imitation tiles whose advantages over artisanal ones are, among others, their resistance and their easiness for cleaning and maintaining daily.
As we can see in this image, in the hydraulic flooring the floral and geometric patterns that are mixed together are predominant. In addition, they could be combined with decoration from different styles; in this example with a industrial type decoration with the detail of facing bricks on the walls. An original and strong mix!
Would you like to give an original touch in your kitchen? Look at this hydraulic mosaic that has been applied to a wall covering. In this case, it is a wall dividing the kitchen to the area of the dinning-room. In this kitchen stands out the mixture of styles: modern in the kitchen furniture and the rustic touch with the use of wood.
An easy way to have a different bathroom is applying and playing with its combinations, where we could achieve results as good as these ones. The strength of this space is certainly the flooring. This type of ceramic is perfectly suitable for using in humid areas.
The hydraulic ceramic is perfectly applicable both to flooring as wall coating. Furthermore, it is also recommended to be used in zones with abundant flow of people as commercial spaces as this one. For any question about its uses and applications, Mercasur have a qualified professional team that may advise you, indicating the resistances of each model and for what type of environments are designed.
The hydraulic mosaic is a handcrafted decorative tile which is manufactured in compressed cement with the use of a hydraulic press. This tile was invented in France in the mid-nineteenth century. The current technological innovation allows producing this kind of ceramic, imitating it faithfully but making it lighter and more resistant than the handcrafted one.
The hydraulic patterns and drawings in the purest floral style are integrated in the bathroom and they are the perfect complement for white walls as these ones. These tiles are easy to clean and maintain. It is the best option for wet spaces and zones. The resultant composition, with this type of classic bathtub and faucet provides an original decoration
Have you decided to place it in any area of your home? If you have thought to buy hydraulic tiles, do not hesitate to approach to our store, where you can see our catalogue of this ceramic style and we work with the best manufacturers, quality and price.
The Hydraulic stoneware or the Vintage perfection
The stoneware, imitating hydraulic tile, as it is logical and as the technology advances, presents a number of advantages over the manufacturing in a handcrafted way. The ceramic stoneware is more resistant and stronger than the traditional one and more easily manipulated but its size. In addition, imitating floors are not porous so they are easy to clean and maintain because they do no absorb stains and they are more resistant to abrasive products.
Here we can see that the application of tiles have taken a timeless and stylish character, claimed and used in projects of contemporary luxury today. Any ceramic proposal that is inspired by them, turns out to be a perfect option to coat walls or paving floors, resulting an original, unique and with character composition.
In this image we could see how, within the inner design of this space, the application of the hydraulic floor has been able to create the center of attention of the decoration. There are several ideas to achieve that effect, in this case, a ´carpet´ has been designed through the ceramic pavement.
The trend ´retro´ is also trendy in commercial spaces or restaurants like the one in the photo. This style is reflected in the creation of the environments, the distribution of the premises and the wood furniture or the cabinets´ doors chosen. Hydraulic mosaics used in this decoration provide a unique touch of inspiration.
These floors match exactly with more modern and current decorative styles like in this commercial place. In this one is combined the enchantment of hydraulic-inspired tiles with dark furniture, contrasted with shades of soft wood and straight lines, much more contemporary and sophisticated. This type of floor is perfectly suitable to this high traffic area. Consult with our professionals about any question that may arise.
Even if they look like ancient floors, nothing is further from the truth. The hydraulic ceramic allows you to recover a resource from the past and implement elements more according to our time. For example, we can see here as the wall in the bar area, with facing bricks, provide a more urban and industrial style. If we add all over to this ambience the combination between wood elements and the plants used, the result is a guaranteed success.
Do you want a classic style bathroom? Use this hydraulic floor to your bathroom and the result will be as attractive as this ambience. It has been reinforced, in addition, with the use of decorative features and colors as gold and silver than give an antique touch. Undoubtedly, the hydraulic ceramic will help you to reinforce this decorative style
Hydraulic Pavements improved to endure
We cannot deny the irresistible appeal of the pavement imitating hydraulic, which has achieved that at present, its use has been so popularized that many companies are launched ceramic collections that reproduce their aesthetic, with faithful reproductions completely credible. Its aspect is antique but with all the advantages that the ceramic material give us to endure over the time.
Porcelain tiles could present very various decorative patterns. The used on this pavement revive old classical designs that remind us the old wallpapers. They have enough decorative ornament and they are perfectly accompanied with the ceramic imitation, look at how in the rest of the atmosphere the dominant colors are whites and cream ones, only with few touches of color, like the armchair.
The hydraulic floors help to define spaces. If you want to use them to cover the complete room pavement, they could be applied to specific areas. In this room, in particular, the hydraulic ceramic separate the area of the bar from the space where the tables are. A decorative touch that gives a great strength to the composition.
The traditional pavement is a handcrafted coating made with cement powder, sand and mineral pigments. Each tile is made one by one. Metal moulds are used to apply color, which are fixed in the cement base, using a hydraulic press to compact them.
The atmosphere of this bathroom looks modern, by the elements used: the column and the shower plate, the suspended toilet, the type of the floor. However, using the hydraulic ceramic solution in this bathroom has been a success in order to bring some warmth, what do you think?
This hydraulic floor used in this kitchen gives a color touch. It is also perfectly combined when is applied, too, covering one of the walls in the zone where is the ceramic hob. Surely, the use of this type of floor in the kitchen is a success to achieve elegance and gives a high character to the space as this one. Here we can appreciate how the grey colors predominate and confer it an urban touch too.
It is reminding us of the old tiles used in the sockets of the courtyards of the Ancient Houses. A little corner has an elegant style and with a ´chic´ touching in its furniture.
Hydraulic ceramics dress the spaces by itself. Applied to walls and floors the result is a success. As an example, this place of restoration, its decoration is simple, nothing that is needed. The hydraulic imitation ceramic gives it all the elegance and personality it needs.
The popularity that has reached in the last years has allowed that its use in the domestic decoration would be more affordable to our pockets. Different ceramic firms present proposals of hydraulic floor at very competitive prices. In Mercasur, leader in its sector in Estepona and Marbella, you will find the newest proposals.
We find in the market new porcelain tiles imitating hydraulic style that are able to, as we see in the picture, be applied to other points in the kitchen as coating the island or using in the kitchen worktop splashbacks.
Next to this retro ceramic air, it has been used industrial-type resources that reinforce this style as the 50s style fridge or the metal stools.
Do you like it but you think you cannot afford it? Nothing is further from the truth. We invite you to visit our showroom and talk to our professional team, they will advise you about prices, advantages and styles. Nowadays, it could be found in the market imitation of hydraulic tiles at very affordable prices.
Here we could see how the hydraulic ceramics could be applied to all types of rooms; in this case, it is a bathroom in which predominate the pure , simple lines and the white color, as we can see in the style of the sanitary equipment used. The socket made of hydraulic ceramic and the used of wood, break with the minimalist style and gives the necessary warmth in this type of space.
The decorative tendencies allow us to travel to the past. In this kitchen, it has been used this application to coat the walls, moving us to the middle of the century, a trip to the past with winks of present.

He is an absolute master. Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.

Event material online: 6th European Grid Conference - Sustainability and the Power Grid
At our 6th edition of the European Grid Conference, we looked at three different dimensions of the power grid: society, economy and the environment. How can grid investments have a social dimension? How can economic benefits for communities affected by new grid infrastructure be realised? How can biodiversity and nature profit from new and existing power lines?

By B15m1lah. Chair. At Wednesday, October 17th 2018, 03:55:42 AM.
The single most overlooked feature to consider when looking at buying office chair is the base. It is standard for these chairs to have casters or wheels. However some chairs come with only four spokes, or for legs with wheels; others with five, or six. It is important to get a chair that has more than four legs. With only four legs, depending on the orientation of the chair, it can be easy to tip out of the chair. Because of the head rest, someone sitting in the chair will be inclined to sit back and lean back in the chair. If the chair has only four legs, i.e. a base with four wheels, if they are leaning back between two of the legs, the chair could tip over backwards. (The taller back of an executive chair makes this more likely than with a smaller, standard office chair.) With five or more wheels, the chair becomes more stable. Of course, the other determining factor of the stability is the width of the base. Again, high-end executive chairs will have a wider base.
That question was asked of me recently by a pastor we were working with. He had contacted us regarding the worship seating needs of his church, he was operating with a very tight budget, and he wanted a church chair that featured a high degree of quality. As we conversed, I suggested one chair solution that we have placed in several churches that performs very well, possesses great quality and is easy on the budget. The pastor though, even though he loved the price and was pleased with the specifications of the chair, uttered the words above.
The last factor to consider is how adjustable you will need your ultimate ergonomic chair to be. If you work for more 8 or more hours a day, you will likely need a highly adjustable chair that allows you to recline throughout the day with tilt lock and tilt tension control(allows the user to choose the amount of tension needed to recline back in their chair and to lock their chair in the upright position when typing then unlock when recline is desired). If you are a taller or shorter individual, it may be beneficial to have a seat slider adjustment that allows you to determine make your chair's seat depth either longer or shorter.

Max Baucus, the former U.S. senator and ambassador to China, gave this year's Zeidman lecture.
As the changing relationship between the United States and China continues to garner headlines, local China experts, scholars, and others with an interest in Chinese studies gathered in the Robert L. Smith Meeting Room recently for the 36th Annual John Fisher Zeidman '79 Memorial Lecture.
Addressing current events head-on was this year's lecturer, former U.S. Senator Max Baucus, who served as U.S ambassador to China from 2014 to 2017. On Capitol Hill, Baucus worked extensively on international trade issues, securing the passage and enactment of free trade agreements with 11 countries, as well as congressional approval of permanent normal trade relations with China in 2000.
In times of uncertainty like these, Baucus told the audience, it's absolutely critical for Chinese and Americans from all walks of life to know more about each other. Continuing and expanding current Chinese-American educational, cultural, and business exchanges can help promote a more nuanced understanding of the differences and similarities between us.
"Much of our future is going to be tied to China," he said. "Even a senator from Montana can figure that out!"
Citing Henry Kissinger, Baucus spoke about national identity and the traditional view that Americans tend to focus on winning while the Chinese prioritize patience and long-term positioning. Our vastly different governance structures and norms can also impede understanding and agreement.
"As we look down the road, whether it's trade issues, tariffs, the South China Sea, or North Korea," Baucus cautioned, "we have to keep in mind that it's a big difference, and we have to understand it."
Cultural awareness plays a critical role in brokering agreements among nations. For example, he said, the Chinese ignored an international tribunal ruling about their increasing presence in the South China Sea, saying it did not apply to them. But after President Obama warned President Xi about it in a face-to-face meeting, the Chinese backed off their expansion efforts, at least temporarily.
Baucus believes that the Chinese are feeling increasingly confident about their economic prospects and will likely continue to make it harder for U.S. companies to do business with them. And he doesn't think the tariffs recently proposed by President Trump will work: "These tariffs are going to cause more problems than they solve," he said. "I don't think our government has thought them through."
As the two nations struggle to find common ground economically, Baucus said, it's important to remember our common humanity. Living in China made it clear to him that American and Chinese people share many of the same basic goals: "They both want decent incomes and to be able to take care of their kids" with good, readily available health care and education. "That's where we have commonalities," he said.

In beef patties, the addition of both spices resulted in the inhibition of some spoilage bacteria, however, there was activation of the growth of Lactic acid bacteria. The results indicate that the use of garlic and coriander in fermented meat could encourage an optimal fermentation process and depress the presence of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria.

Create A Very Simple, Rough Web-App So That I Can Test A Concept
Budget $250-750 USD
My goal -- > Simplify the exporting and importing process of cargo by creating a platform that allows a client to identify and compare vendors that already have the expertise required to transport cargo from any origin to any destination.
However, I'm going to separate my goal into a few sections.
For now, the section that I need your assistance to build will be a simple, rough, web app so that I can quickly test my concept.
What I want ...
- The front end interface will be an overhead map (*Such as that used at -- > [login to view URL]) which would allow a user to enter an origin address and a destination address for their cargo.
- Once an address is entered, a search of a simple database should determine whether there are vendors that are capable of handling the transportation of the cargo. *Whether a vendor is suitable or not is determined by where they operate and their capabilities, which I'll explain in more detail later in this description.
- Once suitable vendors are found, the theoretical path that the cargo will follow during transport should be plotted on the map ... Just like in Google Maps.
- After the path of transport is plotted, competing vendors should be displayed so that the client can choose who they want to work with. *Import and export of cargo can involve more than just shipping companies. Other vendors such as brokers, packagers, and others may also be required, which I'll explain in more detail just below.
End of project.
And as promised, here are my "detailed" explanations as to how the logic must work ...
Vendors must be organized based on the following criteria, think of these as "if then else statements" when calculating "suitable" vendors:
- Services provided ( Shipping / Customs Clearance )
- Areas served ( Cities / States / Countries )
- Vendor Address(es) ?
- Can vendor pick up cargo ? ( If yes, which Cities / States / Countries can they pick up from ? )
- Can vendor deliver cargo ? ( If yes, which Cities / States / Countries can they deliver to ? )
- If vendor can pick up or deliver cargo, can they perform Customs Clearance ?
*Programmatically, the web app that you build should be able to search through all vendors saved in the database and choose those vendors with the necessary expertise needed to complete the transport of the cargo. Think of the import/export process as a relay race where each vendor has their unique role to play.
Here is a theoretical example -- > If a 300-pound wooden crate were to be shipped from Albany, New York to London, England via airplane, the cargo would pass through a few vendors as follows ... Tractor Trailer transport from Albany, NY to New York, NY ... Then the cargo would travel by Airplane from New York, NY to London England ... Then the cargo must be passed along to a broker in London that can complete the customs clearance process so that the cargo can legally "enter" England ... Then another Tractor Trailer transport from London to the final destination.
This may seem complicated, but programmatically, it's just a matter of connecting dots.

Troupe 5777 Puts on Little Shop of Horrors
September 26, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
This year at Winter Springs High School, the theater department will be performing Little Shop of Horrors as the fall play. In the past, the theater department has done Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, Guys and Dolls and many other amazing and fun plays. Students anticipate Little Shop of Horrors.
Little Shop of Horrors is a play about an average flower shop worker named Seymore. Seymore soon comes in contact with a blood thirsty plant that lives in the shop. The plant, named Audrey the Second after Seymore's crush, starts to tell Seymore to feed him people. Audrey the second offers Seymore fame in exchange for human blood. Little Shop of Horrors is a musical and also contains a lot of comedy. It is a fun thing for you, your friends, and family to see and it also is a great way to support the theater department. Troupe 5777 is working hard getting ready for their performances. They are being led by the head of the theater department, Mrs. Jennifer Devine.
Students were asked about their thoughts on the upcoming play. "I've seen the movie and I'm excited for the play" said sophomore Madisen Byrd.
Last year the theater program performed Monty Python's Spamelot which was a big hit. Viewers greatly enjoyed it and the theater department hopes to have the same outcome with Little Shop of Horrors.
To ensure that students know about the upcoming play, fliers providing information have been posted around the school. Little Shop of Horrors will take place in the school auditorium on September 28th, and September 29th at 7:00 pm and September 30th at 200 pm and 7:00 pm. Students are encouraged to go! Also, the Winter Springs community including schools and middle schools are invited to come see the play!
It will be a fun thing for you and friends to do and an awesome way to support our drama department and all the hard work they have done to put this play together!

This woman Gina Marie was a frequent customer at the restaurant my boyfriend and I worked at. She was well aware that he and I were in a serious relationship and living together when she pursued him and told him that she would one day make him her husband.
She was bitter after finding out that her own husband and father of her two children had been caught watching child porn. After sleeping with my boyfriend and messaging back and fourth with him for years, she decided to come clean to me after we were married and I was 7 months pregnant with our second child, causing me immense stress and heartbreak during the later stages of my pregnancy. This person is a complete excuse for a woman. She knew exactly what she was doing, and that she was hurting someone else, yet she continued to do it for years. I feel terrible that her children have to live with the embarrassment of having such a **** for a mother.

If the extraordinary allegations in this
documentary book pan out, we're through the looking glass here. El Palestino comes out on Tuesday. The journo who wrote it, Antonio Salas, seems bona fide. He spent six years working on it, and he's done similarly daring, immersive reportage before. He claims he has the first fresh photo of Venezuelan Public Employee/ETA leader Arturo Cubillas Fontán since the 1970s.

The campaign for compensation for blacklisted construction workers has stepped up a gear. Some 86 former construction workers have lodged a High Court claim against the Sir Robert McAlpine firm.
The claimants are part of the Blacklist Support Group (BSG). This is a network campaigning on behalf of construction workers illegally blacklisted by major building contractors because of their trade union activities.
The last invoice issued to the firm by the Consulting Association, who ran the blacklist, was for more than £28,000.
A conspiracy charge means that, if found guilty, Sir Robert McAlpine would also be responsible for the actions of 40-plus contractors who systematically blacklisted workers. These include Carillion, Balfour Beatty and Skanska.
The average compensation claim is £20,000. The current cases are valued in excess of £17 million. There are 3,200 blacklisted workers—so building firms could face payouts of more than £600 million in total.
Mick Abbott, a 74 year old ex-scaffolder, is one of those who have lodged the High Court claim. He said, "This nearly ruined my marriage and it meant that my children were on free meals at school.
"My file goes back to 1964 and the last entry says that I rekindled the campaign for justice for the Shrewsbury picketers in 2006. They have been watching me all these years and passing this information around, blighting my life over four decades."
Steve Kelly is an electrician and spokesperson for the Blacklist Support Group. He said, "I was blacklisted because I was a union member and because I raised issues about safety.
"In 2007, McAlpine sacked me from the Colchester Barracks project after two days for refusing to work on a moving platform without proper training, exactly as we had been instructed in the site induction. The dismissal is recorded on my blacklist file.
"Over the year I suffered severe financial strain. My wages were cut in half. This caused immense stress paying bills and putting food on the table."

Richard Peers Quodcumque – Serious Christianity New Wine United (2): LGBT Issues – "Be kind to one another, tender-hearted …"
Martin Sewell Archbishop Cranmer CofE clergyman tells suicidal sex-abuse victim to "crawl back under a stone", and that he "probably enjoyed" it
Marcus Green The Possibility of Difference flagging up issues of pride
The "I wish survivors would crawl back from under the stone…" comment is just part of a spectrum of secondary abuse experienced by victims and survivors. Whilst Bishops and other church leaders continue to make misleading statements, withhold documents, obfuscate or simply ignore victims, the fact that these sorts of statements are made to victims in private is hardly surprising. I think what is important is that all clergy and people in the pews wake up to this!
Father Richard Peers, an openly gay man, says we need to accept that we are all sexually disordered. This statement, above much else that he says in his blog, I hear quite frequently and radically disagree with. I am not sexually disordered. After 10 years of therapy in a number of different contexts, I have no doubt that I am somewhat normally sexually ordered. I just happen to be gay and that's my 'normal'. Where did this idea that the whole human race is sexually disordered come from? From the same stable as 'we are all sinners', I suspect. Both… Read more »
I couldn't agree more with you on both points, Colin. Especially given a recent Fr Peers blog entry describing rituals to mark his long-term relationship with his (presumably by now?) spouse or civil partner.
It's not simply disordered, it's a very deep cognitive dissonance.
I don't know if Richard Peers is following these comments or ready to reply. However I'm somewhat disconcerted by Colin's dismissal of the view that 'we are all sinners'. I would have thought that was uncontroversial Christian orthodoxy. That is not the same as claiming that we are essentially depraved; it's simply admitting that as human beings we frequently fail to love as we are called to do. Our love is always less than 100% perfect and hence we always 'miss the mark' (as I was taught was the definition of sin). I suspect that Fr Richard means something similar… Read more »
"However I'm somewhat disconcerted by Colin's dismissal of the view that 'we are all sinners'. I would have thought that was uncontroversial Christian orthodoxy." It may be standard Christian theology, but it's amazing how often "we are all sinners" is thrown in the face of GLBT people. I've had conservative Christians tell me online that Christian shopkeepers shouldn't refuse service to GLBT people, but instead should remind them that "we are all sinners" and offer to teach them about the saving power of Jesus. More than a decade ago, a reporter asked the president of the United States his view… Read more »
Just because some people distort the gospel to fit their own prejudice, is even more reason to insist on using it properly. And a 'Christian' message that suggests only some of us need to repent ('I have strong views; you are bigoted; he/she is beyond the pale') is surely what Jesus attacks in his parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector.
I've never heard any discussion of heterosexual behaviour start with 'well we're all sinners'. I think that's telling.
'What do you think of William and Kate's marriage?' Well we're all sinners…'
While 'we are all sinners' may indeed be uncontroversial Christian orthodoxy, context is all.
Absolutely. Yes, quite. Thankyou Fr Andrew for putting so well what I've struggled to articulate at all!
I haven't yet discerned whether Father Richard Peers is an Anglo-Catholic who does/doesn't agree with the ordination of women. Could he inform us outright? However, Fr. Richard certainly seems 'liberal' enough to attend 'New Wine' so he cannot be too strait-laced! I do appreciate his story of what went on at the N.W. meeting, and it is good to be informed that a scheduled Speaker was able to discuss the Church's reluctance to accept LGBTI people as 'equal partners' in mission.
Ron, if you read Richard's blog you will very quickly discover his support for the ordination of women.
'Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways to the glory of your name. Amen'. Wacky Pentecostal theology? No – mainstream Canadian Anglican liturgy. Week by week (day… Read more »
Tim: Not just in Canada. The wording of the alternative prayer of confession in the C of E's 'Common Worship' Holy Communion service (Order One)—now the standard C of E liturgy, and with more than a nod to Micah 6.8—is very similar (page 169): "Most merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we confess that we have sinned in thought, word and deed, We have not loved you with our whole heart. We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. In your mercy, forgive what we have been, help us to amend what we are, and direct what we… Read more »
Beautiful prayer David! My wife and I fly to the UK tomorrow and we will be worshiping there the next three Sundays, so maybe we'll get to use it. I love the nod to Micah 6.8!
Martin Sewell should simply publish the entire "under the stone" piece, with the name and address of the sender included. It's possible that there is a breach of confidence action in publishing it, and it's possible there is a copyright action: let the author sue if he wishes. It would be a civil action with many possible defences and Sewell would have no problems in crowd-sourcing the money required to robustly defend it. It would obviously not be in any way defamatory. This would, of course, render the author unemployable whatever the outcome of any action, but that would be… Read more »
While all of us feel outraged by it, as JayKay8 points out above, this 'statement' was made in private. The resolution one would hope for would be an unconditional apology from the author. The point isn't really material, but I can't see any issues of copyright here. 'Dave' is the owner of the email, not the author, nor Martin Sewell. I can't envisage anyone in this situation embarking on any litigation – the least therapeutic form of resolution when successful, and devastating when unsuccessful.
IO, if Martin Sewell were to publish the email he would (presumably) run the risk of outing the survivor, who may not wish to be outed. He is right to be guided by the survivor's wishes in this matter.
There is no excuse for the 'under the stone' letter but I suspect the author may be grappling with his own demons, which should have been picked up and dealt with rather than allowing them to spill out into such pastorally damaging behaviour. Surely the aim is to call out the injustice, express solidarity with the survivor and prevent such things from happening rather than to destroy an individual (as opposed to disciplining him, if the recipient allows this to be shared with diocesan authorities, which I hope will happen) while leaving dangerous attitudes and a dysfunctional system in place?
I echo the comments of others here: setting aside my personal feelings about this horrific comment, triggering a lawsuit wouldn't help anyone, least of all the survivor.
We don't know what's happened since it was sent, if there's been further contact, or even an unreserved apology. Neither do we know what lay behind such appalling words. The survivor deserves all the support possible, but must be the one in control of the response.
Survivors STILL receive similar versions, although superficially more polite, to this comment from bishops and others in positions of church leadership. Sadly, the shocking attitudes revealed at IICSA towards victims are still alive and well.
I agree with Savi that they should be picked up and dealt with as they certainly are pastorally damaging behaviour – but the problem is that the senior leadership is unaccountable so dangerous attitudes and a dysfunctional system remain.
If you read the IICSA reports you'll see many examples where no action was taken against perpetrators of abuse because the victims said they did not want to "press charges". The writer of the "under the stone" piece is being abusive and it's not good enough to make excuses. I would have thought that the right action was to make a complaint under the Clergy Discipline Measure. Writing this kind of thing seems to be definitely to be conduct unbecoming of a clerk in holy orders.
I have received a response from a diocesan bishop within the past 12 months that I think calls for a CDM complaint to be made against that bishop. The NST know that I stated the bishop withheld documents, contrary to HoB safeguarding policies, but as far as I am aware they are not instigating disciplinary proceedings against the bishop, which I understand is within their powers. Based on previous experience of making a CDM complaint against a bishop, and of reading about Matt Ineson's experience, I see little point in expending my time and energy to make this complaint since… Read more »
There is a clear need for a fully independent Clergy Complaints procedure.
Couldn't agree more. Given the string of coverups — going right to the top of the CoE — the evidence is overwhelming that bishops can't be trusted with discipline. It's structural as much as it's personal: even if a bishop wants to do the right thing, the conflict of interest is awesome (not that this absolves anyone of responsibility). Putting the organization first is an evil that bedevils all institutions. I've previously gone further than saying that the disciplinary process should be made independent, to suggesting something like France's juge d'instruction, a trained lawyer with sweeping powers to pursue complaints,… Read more »
It's not (just) to do with whether bishops can or cannot be trusted. I'm surprised that they don't themselves see how an independent complaints/discipline process would free them up to do what I imagine they would prefer to do with their time and energy. James is right: currently their various loyalties present irreconcilable conflicts of interest. We've seen the same self-regulation issue with the police, with parliamentary expenses, and so on. Perhaps the bishops who read this blog will comment? Of course the details would have to be worked out, but the principle is a clear one.

Mole Listening Pearls - The Collection Vol. 1 (1996 - 2000)
30 Jan 2010
Mole Listening Pearls – The Collection Vol. 1 (1996 – 2000)
1996 wasn´t an outstanding year in its historical dimensions. Comet Hyakutake was discovered, and the Nintendo 64 came on the market. The 20th Century splashed slowly and gently towards the Millennium. But it was a year for a new music trend: The final neon glow and the green laser effects in dry ice fog in the 80ies were warped. The electronic music drew from the techno temples into cozy living rooms, quiet bars and comfortable lounges. A new generation has grown up and got the label Mole Listening Pearls, a new sense of life tailored to the body. In the beginning it was just an experiment: An open production with an uncertain outcome. The "Mole sound" soaked in his great sensitivity and sensuality. For the first time Mole Listening Pearls brings together a retrospective in three parts, first, the beginning of 1996 – 2000, the development of the Sound by 2001 – 2005, and ultimately the development from 2006 until today. A series from the excellent range of benefits to artists, having placed the label in the last 14 years to light: Audio Lotion, Lemongrass, Alphawezen, Naomi, nor elle, Lahr, Yonderboi, Khoiba and many more.

Master of Science in Real Estate Students Blog at MIPIM
Our University of San Diego School of Business Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) students, along with Stath Karras, executive director of the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate, were invited back to be bloggers at the annual MIPIM conference in Cannes, France from March 13-16, 2018. MIPIM is a leading international real estate conference for property professionals. This international event brings together the most influential players from all property sectors and offers unrivaled access to the greatest number of development projects and sources of capital worldwide.
In collaboration with MIPIM, School of Business MSRE students Kurt Luedtke '18, Taylor Stack '19, Whitney Jorgensen '18 and Tyler Jenkins '19 served as official MIPIM bloggers, curating content on a range of topics related to commercial real estate. USD School of Business MSRE students have served as official MIPIM bloggers for the last six years.
Popularly advertised by MIPIM as "a year's worth of business in four days," the event offers expositions, networking, conferences and awards. Representatives from more than 90 countries attend each year from property sectors such as office, residential, retail, healthcare, sport, logistics and industrial.
In addition to attending many informative panel presentations, the students were also able to meet with several global leaders in real estate. Two of the meetings included the head of global research for USAA and the head of business development-Europe for Aon. The students were also invited to attend a reception hosted by Deutsche Bank on a private yacht where they met the CEO of Deutsche Bank.
"MIPIM is a unique opportunity for the students to extend their international perspective on commercial real estate and gain insight on industry trends," says Karras. "It allows the students to network and demonstrate their interests and expertise in the field to property professionals from around the world."

Tribute to Toei Animation - The Golden Age of Japanese Animation
(edited by Luca Della Casa)
Toei Animation was the first Japanese animation studio, and is still one of the most important in the world in terms of success of its productions and their number: over 160 TV series and 180 feature films so far. Born in Tokyo at the end of
the forties as a section of production company Toei, in 1958, it produced the first color animated feature film which has ever been realized in Japan, The White Snake Enchantress (Hakujaden), directed by founders Taiji Yabushita and Kazuhiko Okabe. Future Film Festival will pay a tribute to this studio, at 60 years from its birth and 50 from its first film, by proposing a list of classics belonging to the history of animation:
Hakujaden (The White Snake Enchantress) by Yabushita Taiji, 1958
The first color feature-length animation film in Japanese history, Hakujaden (The White Snake Enchantress) is a rather large production, involving 42 animators and over 10,000 assistants. Toei Animation chose a traditional Chinese legend as its first major production, Bai Su Zhen: the search
of a soulmate throughout one's life, and the love story between the young Xu Xian and the beautiful Bai Niang, the human reincarnation of a snake spirit.
Anjo to Zushiomaru, released in Italy as Robin e i due moschettieri e mezzo ("Robin and the two and a half musketeers"), is an adaptation of a Mori Ogai novel, Sanshô Dayu (Sansho the Bailiff), first adapted by the famous director Mizoguchi Kenji in 1954. The story, set in a medioeval Japan, tells the adventures of an unlucky family whose children, Aniu and Zushio, are separated against their will. The two will have to cross many difficulties before meeting again and re-joining their mother, who they thought to be dead.
A real turning point in Japanese animation film, Taiyo no Oji: Hols no Daiboken (The Little Norse Prince), is the first directorial venture of Takahata Isao, Miyazaki Hayao's teacher and collaborator (they later established Studio Ghibli together). For the first time, the story was not told from a child's perspective, but aimed at an in-depth analysis of the characters' feelings. Camera movements and wide-angle shots bring action to the foreground.
At the time of his dad's death, young Hols sets out on an initiation journey through lands threatened by snow. During his journey, he comes across a stone giant and an ancient sword, the legendary Sun Sword, which can melt the ice and help him fight against horrible wolves led by the mean Grunwald, who has subdued the Northern lands.
Hyokkori Hyotan jima is a nonsensical version of The Treasure Island, known in Italy as La strana isola (The Odd Island).

A sunny day in Dulverton
Laura Binding:
Posted on 20 May 2014 21:13
Well, in the words of a famous song, let's start at the very beginning (is it in your head now? it's in mine!)
As much as I love Jewellerymaker, it is not the only thing I do, I do commission work, magazine work and of course, just because I can work! so, after working hard all last week to prepare my project's for Monday's Designer Inspiration show, I was able to enjoy the sun and a lovely bit of quality family time with my mum, the two dogs, hubby and the kids! bliss!!
so, what is the point of this blog I hear you say, yeah yeah you went on holiday...great (although it wasnt really a holiday, more of a weekend escape) but what is your point?!
well, I got to sit in the garden of a beautiful cottage in the blazing sun (that would have been the cue to go get the suntan lotion - opps!) and raided my mum's stash of gemstones, I found a beautiful blue crackled agate slab and was instantly drawn to it, having brought with me the essential 0.4 and 1mm wire it was a no brainer! the wire? of course it was copper!! this is me!!! I did also bring with me a 0.4 reel of antique bronze to throw a bit of a mix in, and as my mum had nabbed my 0.4 copper it looked like it was a good thing, as it was a perfect contrast to the stone!! sometimes, these things present themselves to you as I know I would have gone straight for the copper 0.4 and wrapped it in complete copper, as it turns out, I love the contrasting colours with the sea blue! do you?
anyway, I sat and played and loved the outcome..oh, did I mention I was also sipping on some lovely chilled bubbly with my mum (yes the pic shows red wine, we had that first hehe) whilst the kids played and hubby took pictures of the lovely birds that were being very noisy to try to chase us out of the garden!! lol
but of course i am just teasing you, of course i made the pendant, would you like to see? I did my trademark of making it reversable and dont know which side I like best!!
so, here you go... please let me know what you think, do you like it? i am undecided as to a long chain so it can hang and twist and turn and show all the sides or a shorter chain/viking knit..? hmm... please comment, i love to hear what you think :)
Spellbinding xx

Laura loved the shows last week and Monday's show as well. The pendant is gorgeous I like the blue, but like you I would love to see it swivel round so I think a long chain maybe viking knot as you do make beautiful jewellery. I think this pendant has beautiful colours that make the copper against it outstanding xx

Before you start investing in any real estate, it is important that you consider some important tips. There are lots of great opportunities to make money in the real estate market if you know what you are doing. Those who learn the basics about this type of investing will give themselves the best chances of success. The last thing you want to do is to invest any money in anything before you educate yourself.
Can You Do the Necessary Repairs Yourself?
One thing that you should ask yourself before investing in any piece of property is how much of the repair work will require a professional. You should consider your own repair skills so that you can choose properties that you will be able to fix up yourself for the most part.
There is nothing wrong with hiring professionals to fix up your investment properties, but it can get very expensive. Many people who invest in real estate do a lot of the repairs themselves to save money. You don't want to get in over your head when buying a property to flip or rent out.
Pay Off Your Debts Before Investing
Make sure that all of your outstanding debts are cleared before you begin investing in any real estate. You don't want to have to deal with making payments on your debts as well as your rental properties. You will also be able to get better deals of financing for your investments when you don't have any current debt hanging over your head. Whether it is student loans or credit card debt, make sure you take care of it.
Get Your Down Payment Together
You will find that investment properties generally demand a higher down payment amount, so be prepared to put down at least twenty percent. The more money you put down on the property, the better of a deal you will get on it. A bigger down payment means a lower interest rate, so keep that in mind when looking for financing. If you don't have enough for a down payment, save up before taking out a loan.
Think Twice About Fixer-Uppers
A lot of people who invest in real estate buy broken down houses with the ultimate goal of fixing them up and making a nice profit. The only people that should think about doing this are those who know a good contractor that works cheap. If you are very skilled with lots of different types of repairs, it might also be worth it. Don't get mesmerized by low prices though, because there are always catches that come with them.
Determine the Overall Operating Expenses
Operating costs for investment properties tend to be anywhere from 35-75% of the person's gross income. It is imperative that you take the time to calculate these expenses so that you can make the right overall decision. It's a good idea to use what is known as the 50-percent rule. This means that wherever the total amount of rent you charge, you can expect to pay half of that in expenses. Sometimes the operating costs can be even more, depending on the condition of the property.
Figure Out Your Return
Anyone who is going to invest in properties of any kind need to know what their return is going to be. What are you going to make back on the property? This is something you will have to figure out right from the start. If you aren't expecting a very significant return, move on to another investment property.
It's All About Location
People talk about how location is such an important factor in real estate, and it's true. You should always consider the location of any property before deciding whether or not to invest in it. An ideal location can mean a much higher return on investment for you. Properties that are closer to shopping malls, school, parks and other things are almost always worth more. You should always think twice about getting a property that isn't in a very good location. There is a chance you could turn a profit, but the question is how much you will get.
Get Outside Assistance
Sometimes it helps to get a fresh set of eyes before making a decision on a particular property to invest in. If you know someone who has more experience with real estate investment than you, it is a good idea to consult with them. You should also utilize the internet to learn as much as possible about the real estate market and individual properties. There are tons of useful resources that can help you find great properties to invest in. The more you use these resources, the easier it will be to make important investment decisions that could make you very wealthy.

Cash-strapped local authority blew £2k of taxpayers' money on audio expert to check if a councillor called colleague a 'd***head'
Wigan Borough hires £108-an-hour boffin, who worked on Milly Dowler murder probe, to bring Town Hall dispute to a close
A CASH-STRAPPED local authority blew £2,000 of taxpayers' money on an expert to discern whether a councillor called a colleague a "d***head".
Wigan Borough top brass brought in the boffin - who charged £108 an hour - to try and settle the row between representatives Bob Brierley, 56, and Stephen Murphy.
Renowned audio expert Iain McArthur pocketed £2,160 for 20 hours work, including spending four hours attending a code of conduct hearing.
Council chief defended the decision to blow the cash on McArthur, who had previously worked on the Milly Dowler and Rhys Jones murder investigations.
Brendan Whitworth, Assistant Director For Legal, said: "To determine if Cllr Brierley swore, he having denied doing so, and thus to allow proper consideration of whether there was a breach of the code of conduct we decided to consult an audio expert.
"There was a cost attached to this but to ensure transparency and fairness we felt it important to have an independent opinion."
Cllr Brierley's alleged to have made a remark to Cllr Murphy that "was about his head and another part of his anatomy", according to Cllr Anita Thorpe.

Mr McArthur told the code of conduct hearing Cllr Brierley said to the councillor: "Oh, I forgot it's you Mr Murphy, you d***head".
Mr McArthur added: "He (Coun Brierley) had the microphone very close to his mouth and it's a very clear recording. I have no problem with accents, I have lived around Manchester for a number of years and I understand the accent."
Asked by former monitoring officer Linda Fisher if Cllr Brierley could have said: "Oh, I forgot it's you Mr Murphy, you again", as the councillor claimed, Mr McArthur said: "Absolutely not, 100 per cent."
The full investigation had cost the taxpayer £9,000, but council chiefs blamed Cllr Brierley for refusing to apologise at an early stage and not "engaging with the process".
Brierley was eventually found guilty of making the comment at the end of a 16-month legal process that cost taxpayers £9,000.
It's the seventh time the independent representative has breached the council's code of conduct in two years.

HST 111: United States History I
This course introduces you to United States history, starting in pre-Columbian times up to 1865. After completing this course, you will better understand the trends, concepts, and key historical events that shaped the formative years of the United States and its development through the Civil War. The course flows chronologically, starting with a discussion on the Western Hemisphere prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, then moves on to the European colonization of the North American continent. We explore how the original 13 Colonies formed, how those colonists lived, and what prompted them to revolt and create the United States. From there, we will learn how the Founding Fathers enacted their vision of government by, for, and of the people, how the Jacksonian Era impacted the direction of the country, and how Manifest Destiny led to a rapid expansion westward. We conclude by discussing how the growing conflict between northern, urban, manufacturing interests and the southern, pastoral, slave owners resulted in the American Civil War.

Larva is a Ruby daemon builder based on top of the Propono pub/sub library and the Filum logging library.
It is the foundation for daemons in Meducation's infrastructure.
Getting started is simple. Just install the gem and run
larva spawn my_daemon_name
If you want to add this to an existing daemon, add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'larva'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Larva provides you with listeners, processors and a worker pool to quickly build an application that listens and responds to Propono messages.
Here is a sample application that forms the basis of a rake task for most Meducation daemons.
require 'larva'
# Setup Config for Filum and Propono
class MyProcessor < Larva::Processor
def comment_created
# I get called when the message is received :)
processors = {my_topic: MyProcessor}
Larva::WorkerPool.start(processors, "queue-suffix")
# In another application...
Propono.publish(:my_topic, {entity: "comment", action: "created", id: 8}
Larva Listeners provide an easy way of listening to a Propono topic and processing the message, complete with lots of logging through Filum.
Larva::Listener.listen(:my_topic, processor, "queue_suffix")
This will listen for messages on :my_topic and pass them to
processor.process. It will log what is happening via Filum.
Processors are used by listeners to handle the messages that are received.
If your messages have an
entity and
action fields, then you can create methods named `#{entity}_#{action}, which get called when a message is received.
For example:
class MyProcessor < Larva::Processor
def comment_created
# I get called for the first message
Larva::Listener.listen(:my_topic, MyProcessor, "")
Propono.publish(:my_topic, {entity: "comment", action: "created", id: 8}
If those methods do not exist, then a method called
process is called. This method has acccess to
entity and
id fields. If this returns true, then the message is considered processed, else if it returns false, an error wil be logged.
For example:
class MyProcessor
def process
if message[:foo] == bar
# Larva will consider this message processed successfully
# An error is logged for this message
Larva::Listener.listen(:my_topic, MyProcessor, "")
Propono.publish(:my_topic, {foo: "bar"} # -> Will be logged as a success
Propono.publish(:my_topic, {foo: "meh"} # -> Will be logged as unprocessed.
Worker Pool
The worker pool creates a listener for each topic, and proxies messages to the associated processors. If any processors die, the application will die.
Creating a worker pool is trivial:
processors = {
my_topic_1: MyProcessor1
my_topic_2: MyProcessor2
Larva::WorkerPool.start(processors, "queue-suffix")
Is it any good?
Firstly, thank you!!
We'd love to have you involved. Please read our contributing guide for information on how to get stuck in.

Family Values Strengthen Forestry Research
A memorial contribution by the Nevison family has created two endowed scholarships for students conducting research at UNBC's research forests.
Alan Nevison never went to university himself, but during his nearly five decades as an early builder and longtime vice president with Prince George-based
Industrial Forestry Service Limited (IFS), he came to appreciate the value of a post-secondary education.
Alan was often the first point of contact for clients needing help and information and he witnessed first-hand how technology drove progress in the forest industry. With his knowledge of aerial photography, geographic information systems and other new technologies in the forest sector, he led his company's efforts to become one of the largest, most reliable and successful natural resource consulting firms in B.C.
In the company's early years, investing in the technology was the easy part; what was more difficult was finding university-trained employees to collect, interpret and disseminate the data. In those days there was no UNBC, and the company
recruited trained personnel from all parts of Canada and some from the United States for forestry and mapping work. He found that those trained in the Lower Mainland rarely stayed long in Prince George.
So not surprisingly, the Nevison family were supporters of UNBC from the beginning and got behind the public campaign for a northern university in the 1980s.
"There was always this interest in our family with UNBC," says Marjorie Nevison, Alan's wife of 61 years. "We enjoyed watching it grow and develop as it came into being."
After his death in November 2015, Alan's family made a memorial contribution to UNBC to fund two endowed scholarships, valued at $1,500 each and awarded annually, for students conducting research at UNBC's research forests.
"After Al died we wanted to do something to honour his memory," Marjorie explains. "Forestry was his passion. A donation to support forestry students at UNBC was the obvious thing to do."
Through this contribution, the Nevison family is strengthening research and teaching excellence, and growing UNBC's grassroots efforts to strengthen B.C.'s and Canada's North. UNBC's research forests are important sites for discovery and guiding natural resource management, and the scholarships the family created will help future generations of foresters find innovative solutions for the next wave of forest sector advancements.
And, 25 years after its creation, UNBC is producing graduates who provide the skills and experience that Alan had to previously search for abroad.
"In the old days it was just cutting down trees, bringing them into town and selling the lumber," Marjorie says. "Now there is so much more to forestry and the students at UNBC are on the cutting edge."

House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara yesterday attributed his election to divine intervention.
According to him, he lacked the resources to fight for the position adding that the greatest challenge the country faces is bad leadership.
He urged followers to support and pray for leaders who mean well for the development of the nation.
Dogara spoke at a Thanksgiving church service at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Centre in Tafawa Balewa, Bauchi, his home state.
It was his visit home since his election as speaker on June 9. On Saturday, he visited Emir of Bauchi Alhaji Rilwan Sulaiman who prayed for the quick release of the Chibok girls who were abducted from their school dormitory more than one year ago.
He said: "God sent angels who made it possible for me. This is because in terms of resources and connection, there was no way we could possibly deliver this project."
The Speaker thanked the people for their support and prayers and reminded them that it is God' command in the Bible for them to pray ceaselessly for all leaders irrespective of differences.
He added: "The biggest challenge we have in this country is lack of credible leadership because if there is no leader, everything around us decays, but if we have good leadership, I believe Nigeria will be greater.
"With prayers, the quality of leadership we have will improve and if it improves, the quality of our lives will equally improve.
He said his emergence as speaker is a clear sign that northern Nigeria is becoming united more than ever before.
He said it was an act of God when the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, from the same Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi state, where he comes from, became Nigeria's first and only Prime minister in the first republic, Dogara said but for divine intervention, his emergence as the fourth citizen in the country would not have been possible.
"This victory we are celebrating here today wouldn't have been possible without your support. Apart from the support from our brothers from other political zones', support.
"The North at a time searched for leadership from other parts of the country because, we were divided. My emergence with the support of all people of different tribes and religions in Nigeria, showed that we're beginning to come together as a region and Nigeria will be better for it."
"For God to have returned to this region and pick someone here is an indication that there is a new dawn for this region."
Executive Secretary, Tertiary Education Fund (TETFUND), Prof. Suleiman Bogoro, said Dogara's victory is history made in grand style.
He described the Speaker as a man of faith who believed he was going to occupy a prominent position in the country, he added that "if we ever thought that someone from this land would work against the emergence of Dogara as Speaker, he was a liar because God made it possible.
"The said that can anything good come out of Nazareth? Something good has come out of Zaar land," he said.
Guests at the Thanksgiving service included former Plateau State Deputy Governor Paulline Tallen, former Chairman Christian Association of Nigeria, Bauchi state, Rev. Shiabu Byal and Supreme Court Justice Bitrus Tsammani, among others.
