European Union virtual currency legislation published
Yesterday (5 July 2016), the European Commission adopted proposals for legislation to amend the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (4AMLD) that will bring virtual currency exchanges and wallet providers into the EU's anti-money laundering framework.
The proposals will see exchanges and custodial wallet providers added to the list of obliged entities required to carry out customer due diligence (also known as KYC), monitor transactions and report suspicious transactions. Only those engaged in exchanging between virtual and fiat currencies are included. Virtual currency to virtual currency exchanges are not covered. So, for example, Bitcoin-to-Ether exchanges will not be regulated.
The proposals extend 4AMLD to "providers engaged primarily and professionally in exchange services..." which suggests companies whose primary business is not exchanging virtual currencies, and anyone buying or selling virtual currency occasionally or just funding a purchase, is excluded.
Only those wallet providers offering custodial services of credentials necessary to access virtual currencies are to be included in the legislation. However, there is no primary purpose limitation, meaning anyone who has responsibility for taking care of virtual currency keys for someone else will likely need to carry out due diligence, monitor transactions and report suspicious activity. Multisig keyholders could well be caught by these provisions.
EDCAB's founder, Siân Jones, who addressed the European Parliament's public hearing on virtual currencies earlier in the year, said: "The draft directive was much expected and in line with the Commission's Action Plan on combatting terrorist financing announced in February. I am pleased the Commission has listened and decided to drop some of its more radical proposals. However, EDCAB continues to make representations to the Commission, MEPs and member states, particularly regarding scope and definitions."
The proposals now go to the European Council (comprising member states) and the elected Parliament before becoming law. Member states will then have to transpose the directive into national law, a process that normally takes up to 2 years. However, the Commission is calling for harmonisation to be completed by 1 January 2017. With the European Parliament currently in its last plenary siting before the summer holidays and with many other money laundering and terrorist financing provisions to be considered, that timeline looks very challenging.

The Helvetica is essentially a neutral font and therefore it is particularly used in signage. On the other hand the Helvetica Bold is used when something needs to be highlighted in a text. The Helvetica Bold Oblique on the other hand is a font that has much more character than the original Helvetica.
It is therefore widely used by graphic designers and advertising agencies all over the world. This font can be creatively used as an ornament on an otherwise simple document. With this font a piece of text like a party invitation will require no other ornamentation to make it look special.

These are the relations between GDP, inflation-adjusted GDP, and prices:
That is a fact. So, what does the arithmetic tell us? It says
1. If you divide "nominal" GDP by "real" GDP, you get "prices".
2. If you divide "nominal" GDP by "prices", you get "real" GDP. And
3. If you multiply "real" GDP by "prices" you get "nominal" GDP.
The three series of numbers considered here are more closely tied than braided hair. You can always convert nominal GDP values to real, by dividing prices out. You can always convert real GDP values to nominal, by multiplying prices in.
Again: The relations between these series is such that if you divide NGDP by RGDP it gives you prices; if you divide NGDP by prices you get RGDP; and if you multiply RGDP by prices you get NGDP. These are the relations, and nothing can be done about it.
On Sunday I wrote:
Unit Labor Cost is Employee Comp multiplied by the price level...
They take numbers like Employee Compensation going down relative to GDP. They times it by prices to make the numbers go up. They say Look, look! Labor costs are going up! And they claim that rising labor costs are pushing prices up.
I don't know which employee cost data is used to figure Unit Labor Cost. I know I'm in the ballpark because the lines on the graph were very close. But that's not the point. The point is, they multiply the employee cost numbers by the price level to get the Unit Labor Cost numbers.
It is a point I've made before. In mine of 6 October 2012, I wrote:
Kaminska seems to think the graph shows labor cost. How does she describe it? "The labour cost attached to the production of one unit". Oh right, right: "One unit".
As I showed the other day, the Unit Labor Cost plot is almost identical to the price level plot:
The similarity between ULC and the price level is so remarkable as to inspire disbelief. And well it should, for the red line is used to calculate the blue line. To calculate Unit Labor Cost, labor costs are multiplied by prices.
And then the graph is used to claim that Labor cost makes prices go up.
As I showed the other day, the Unit Labor Cost plot is almost identical to the price level plot:
|Graph #2: Unit Labor Cost (blue) and the price level (red)
The similarity between ULC and the price level is so remarkable as to inspire disbelief. And well it should, for the red line is used to calculate the blue line. To calculate Unit Labor Cost, labor costs are multiplied by prices.
And then the graph is used to claim that Labor cost makes prices go up.
The first comment on that old post disputes my view:
I'm afraid you've got everything upside down. Unit labour costs are exactly as described, the cost of one unit of output. Normally when we say this, we mean nominal unit costs. Since labour costs account for most costs, as labour costs go up so do prices. It is therefore not remotely surprising that the labour cost line and the price line move together.
Labour costs are NOT multiplied by prices. They are a nominal variable which at least partially drive prices.
There is nothing about multiplying by prices involved. Nominal gdp does go up as prices go up or or as real gdp, which is nominal gdp divided by prices, goes up. It is the nominal gdp which is the directly observed measure.
The similarity between the two lines is "so remarkable as to inspire disbelief," I said. My anonymous commenter's view is that the similarity is not remotely surprising because "labour costs account for most costs". I had to laugh at the difference of opinion. I do think that someone with enough knowledge of math and economics could determine with certainty which view is closer to the truth. This one has an answer.
Meanwhile, I stand by my view. The two lines are inordinately, unjustifiably similar. More similar than can be accounted by labor's share of cost which, unlike prices, has been falling for 30 years. The similarity is artificial.
The similarity is created when labor costs are multiplied by prices.
That brings me to the second point in the comment: "There is nothing about multiplying by prices involved," my anonymous friend writes. "Nominal gdp does go up as prices go up or or as real gdp, which is nominal gdp divided by prices, goes up."
Real GDP is Nominal GDP divided by prices, he says. He's right about that. So if we are dividing something by Real GDP, we can instead divide by "Nominal GDP divided by Prices" and get the same result. The same result, and better transparency:
But we're dividing by a fraction here. Do you remember how to do that? "Invert and multiply." To divide by a fraction, invert the fraction and multiply. We can do that:
The fraction "Nominal GDP over Prices" becomes "Prices over Nominal GDP", and the "divided by" symbol gets replaced by a multiply. But now that we're multiplying, we can rearrange the calculation a bit more:
Now it is obvious that we are dividing our original number by Nominal GDP and multiplying by prices. This is the arithmetic: You can divide something by Real GDP, or you can divide it by Nominal GDP -- actual GDP -- and multiply by prices. Either way you get the same answer.
Either way, you get the same answer.
For figuring unit labor costs, the commenter says, "Labour costs are NOT multiplied by prices ... There is nothing about multiplying by prices involved." But Unit Labor Cost is total labor compensation divided by real GDP. And dividing by "real GDP" gives the same answer as dividing by actual GDP and multiplying by prices.
Actual GDP is GDP at the prices we actually paid to buy it. They call it "nominal".
If Real GDP was "the directly observed measure" then there would be nothing wrong with the Unit Labor Cost calc. But that's not the case. Real GDP is an artificial measure, created by stripping price changes out of actual GDP.
Or if they didn't multiply prices into labor cost, and compare the resulting numbers to prices (and discover an unbelievable similarity) then what they are doing might be okay. But the arithmetic is not okay, because they multiply prices into labor cost and create the similarity they pretend to discover.
When they choose to divide labor costs by "real" GDP rather than actual GDP, they are choosing to multiply labor costs by prices. So doing, they create the appearance of similarity between Unit Labor Cost and prices. To use this artifice as evidence that labor costs have been pushing prices up is an abomination.

A Christmas Carol at Christ Waterloo
Call for Actors and Crew for A Christmas Carol
Richard Walsh, Christ Church Waterloo
On December 7th-9th @ 7:30 pm Christ Lutheran Church Waterloo will present my adaptation of Charles Dickens's 1843 brief novel A Christmas Carol [ACC]. In recent years Christ Church, located at 445 Anndale Rd. on the corner of Lexington and Davenport, has staged four theatrical productions that I've adapted and directed that address morally and socially challenging issues: Antigone by Sophocles in 2012, Merry Wives of Windsor by Shakespeare in 2013, Don Juan in Hell by Shaw in 2014, and An Enemy of the People by Ibsen in 2016.
At first glance, ACC is a story of Scrooge's personal ghosts; in fact, it's subtitled A Ghost Story for Christmas. Beginning with Marley's Ghost, who represents both his own and Scrooge's notorious greed, each ghost compels Scrooge to face his social transgressions of the past, the present, and the foreseeable future. But the ghosts also give him opportunities to redeem himself. Ghosts, of course, are fun for audiences (but not for young children, who can be easily overwhelmed), which is why adaptations of ACC for the theatre and film tend to stress them.
From a religious perspective, however, ACC is actually a story of conversion and personal liberation from the chains of greed toward the freedom of compassion and generosity. Dickens's annual public readings of ACC evidently contributed to reinvigorating a historically earlier spirit of charitable giving during Christmastime that had been eclipsed during his lifetime.
From a social-justice perspective, ACC is a critique of involuntary poverty. Dickens wrote his story at a time of hideous socio-economic conditions in Britain and colonial Ireland that included child labour and massive, toxic smog. In effect, his message to the powers-that-be was: Attend to the plight of the poor or face a social and political revolt on home ground.
In my adaptation of ACC, over 99% of the script consists of Dickens's text, although I've abbreviated it substantially to heighten its appeal for a current audience. In addition, rather than ignoring Scrooge's psychological development, as film and theatre versions have done, I've included the scenes of Scrooge as a child, adolescent, young man, and middle-aged adult to elicit empathy, even compassion, for him.
Here's how you can help:
[1] Please refer anyone you know – child, teen, young adult, and middle-aged or older folks – who might want to play a character (there are over 40 of them) or help backstage. Email me here: firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll then send interested individuals the script and audition those whose acting skills are unknown to me. Rehearsals begin Sept. 6th.
[2] Please come see the show, and bring every kid you know, including adult ones. By the end of November you'll be able to order tickets from Christ Church by phone.
Thank you very much for your interest and anticipated support.

According to DoctorWhoTV:
More or less confirmed by Moffat earlier in the year, Neve McIntosh has spoken briefly about the return of Madame Vastra and the Paternoster Gang in Peter Capaldi's debut series next year.
McIntosh told the Daily Record: "It will be sad not to be working with Matt again but I'm really looking forward to Peter taking over and seeing what he does with it.
"We'll be helping the Doctor more, but I can't say anything else."
McIntosh also says that she would like the show to be 'edgier': "The sexual themes in Doctor Who should be talked about more and embraced more. It could be edgier and more dangerous."
On the endlessly discussed Paternoster spin-off, she said: "We can do so much in Victorian times, it's got that steampunk edge to it. Think how freaky that era was with the Elephant Man and all that and just add us into the mix, with time travel and all sorts of weird, wonderful stuff."

WASHINGTON (3/27/15)--The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a plan early Thursday morning aimed at eliminating payday lending "debt traps," and CUNA is evaluating it to determine if it accomplishes its goal without hindering credit unions' efforts to provide credit to their members.
The new consumer protections would apply to payday loans, vehicle title loans, deposit advance products and certain high-cost installment and open-end loans.
"One of the goals of the founders of the American credit union movement was to create a system of cooperative finance that provided consumers with access to credit, including short-term, small-dollar loans, on fair terms and rates. Therefore, CUNA supports the ability of credit unions to provide beneficial short-term, small loans as alternatives to predatory payday lending, which has no place in the financial marketplace," said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle.
"The extent to which credit unions will be able to continue to productively, efficiently and responsibly serve their members' short-term, small-dollar credit needs will be a key measure we use in evaluating these proposals. If the rule results in consumers having reduced access to credit from credit unions or if the access to credit is made more expensive by regulatory burdens imposed on credit unions which would be more appropriately targeted toward the abusers of consumers, it will have failed to adequately protect consumers.
"We are evaluating the proposals the bureau released overnight, and we look forward to discussing them with our members, the CFPB and other policymakers," Nussle added.
The proposal would cover both short-term credit products (which must be paid in full within 45 days), and long-term loans where the lender collects payments through access to the borrower's bank accounts. One of the proposal's main focuses is requiring a lender to determine a borrower's ability to repay a loan before granting it.
For long-term loans, the CFPB is considering protections already used by the National Credit Union Administration for its payday alternative loan program. Those loans are capped at 28% interest and an application fee of no more than $20.
The other approach the bureau is examining for long-term loans would cap a loan payment amount at no more than 5% of the borrower's gross monthly income, and no more than two such loans can be made to a borrower within a 12-month period.
For short-term loans, lenders would have to verify a borrower's income, financial obligations and borrowing history to determine the consumer's ability to repay. There would be a 60-day "cooling off period" between loans--loans cannot be made within that period unless there is documentation the borrower's circumstances have improved enough to repay without re-borrowing.
Lenders also would not be allowed to keep consumers in debt on short-term loans for more than 90 days in a 12-month period. Rollover loans would be capped at two, followed by a mandatory 60-day cooling off period.
For the second and third consecutive short-term loans, the bureau is considering two options. One would require the principal decrease with each loan, so that it is repaid after the third loan, or require the lender provide a no-cost "off-ramp" after the third loan, to allow the consumer to pay the loan off over time without further fees.

Advantages of LED Lights
Athearn produces a great variety of HO locomotives with outstanding detail and reliable performance. But one common complaint among modelers is that they continue to use 1.5-volt incandescent bulbs for the various lights on the locomotives, which can include a headlight, back-up light, classification lights, and ditch lights.
While incandescent light bulbs provide a nice color, they can burn out quickly. Fortunately, these locomotives can be converted to LED lights fairly easily. LEDs will last a lot longer and reduce the voltage draw—which can be significant if your layout includes a lot of locomotives.
These techniques will work on other brands of locomotives as well. While each installation can be a little different, the basic steps will be the same. The model shown in our example is an older Ready-to-Run SD40. For this installation, both LEDs and fiber optics will be used.
Tools and Materials You Will Need
Continue to 2 of 6 below.
- Soldering iron
- LED lights (T1 3mm "sunny white")
- 1k ohm 1/4 watt resistors
- Heat-shrink tubing
- Wire cutters
- 0.40 fiber optic strands
02 of 06
Remove the Incandescent Bulbs
The first step is to remove the incandescent light bulbs. The small bulbs are held in place with glue on the inside of the shell. Just place a small drop of water on the water-soluble glue and let it sit for about a minute. You should be able to gently pry the bulbs loose without any problem.
Next, disconnect the wires from the PCB board. You can use the same tabs on the board for the new LEDs. If you are installing a DCC decoder, you can use the tabs on the board or just hardwire to the white, blue, and yellow leads on the decoder.Continue to 3 of 6 below.
03 of 06
Pre-Wire the LEDs
Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs are polarized, meaning that each light has a positive and negative lead. The positive (+) lead is called the anode, and if the LED has leads attached, the positive will be the longer one. The negative (-) side is called the cathode and will be the smaller of the two leads. Other LEDs, such as surface-mount styles, will have a flat spot or mark on the (+) side. It is important to wire the LEDs correctly, so be careful to distinguish the anode from the cathode lead.
You'll also need a resistor to reduce the voltage sent to the LED. You can wire the resistor to either the positive or negative side.
For most model train applications, the combination of LED and a resistor, as shown here, will work very well. The preferable LEDs are T1 3mm "sunny white." (To better mimic incandescent bulbs, look for a sunny or warm white LED; others will have a more bluish hue.) Pair these with 1k ohm 1/4 Watt resistors.
It is easiest to wire the LEDs for the headlight and backup light before installing them in the locomotive. You can greatly shorten the leads of most LEDs, just by clipping them to the desired length with wire cutters. Space is at a premium inside most locomotives, so use as little lead as possible.
Continue to 4 of 6 below.
- Place the LEDs back to back, and solder the anodes together.
- Then, attach a short length of wire to connect the light or the PCB or decoder. If hardwiring to the decoder directly, attach to the blue lead.
- Next, wire a resistor onto each of the cathodes.
04 of 06
Wire the LEDs to the PCB
Next, the LEDs need to be connected to the locomotive. Again, you can use the PCB board in the locomotive or go directly to a DCC decoder. It is best to plan and think about how you will connect the fiber optics to the LED and the LED to the board in a manner that will still let you get the shell on/off the locomotive.
For a PCB board, connect the anodes to the common post, and connect the two cathodes to the headlight and reverse light posts respectively.
For a decoder, use the white wire for the headlight, yellow for the reverse light cathode, and blue for the anodes.
Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing over the wires before soldering the connections. Then position the tubing over the bare wire and use the edge of your soldering iron to shrink it around the joint. Use liquid electrical tape over the anode connection. Space is tight inside these models—don't take any chances with bare connections.
If you are adding additional lights (ditch lights, warning lights, marker lights, etc.) simply repeat these steps and use the appropriate leads.Continue to 5 of 6 below.
05 of 06
Attaching Fiber Optics
Use fiber optics to carry the light from the LEDs to the lenses. For most Athearn engines, .040 strands will work well.
This is where the installation gets a little more difficult. You'll have to plan to determine the best way to go about the installation in your locomotive. For this example, it was easiest to test-fit the strands, install them in the locomotive, make the connections with the shell in place (keeping the dynamic brake hatch off), and then trim the fiber optics to length.
With some models, you may find it easier to first connect all of the fiber optics first, next attach the LED assembly to the body, and lastly make the connections to the PCB/ decoder.
Continue to 6 of 6 below.
- First, cut each fiber optic strand to an approximate length to run from the lens to the LED. Leave a little extra length.
- Bond the ends of the fiber optics together with more heat-shrink tubing. For paired lights, use a small band of tubing to first join the two leads together with their ends even. Then use a larger-diameter tubing to connect the pair and the LED. The tubing should fit snugly around the LED. Avoid using much heat on the tubing, as it could damage the fiber optics. (If necessary, you can take the strands off the LEDs and reattach as you assemble the model.)
- Paint the fiber optic strands black to prevent light from leaking through fans, cab windows, or other openings in the body.
06 of 06
Finish the Lights
With the body assembled and everything connected inside, the last step is to finish the lights themselves.
Trim the fiber optics to length. Hold the tip of your soldering iron near the end of the strand and the end should flare out. If this gives you enough of a lens appearance, you're good to go. You can also use clear plastic lenses from Details West in the openings themselves. Trim the fiber optics so they end just inside the housing, then glue the plastic lenses in front. Use a piece of tape to hold and position the tiny lenses in place as the glue dries.
After you've done a few of these conversions, you'll find the process goes fairly quickly. Buying in bulk, the cost of materials for the conversion is well under $2 per locomotive—about what you might spend on replacement bulbs each time.

Dot Foods, the largest food industry redistributor in North America, congratulates its Modesto employee Miguel Sanchez for placing first in the pallet jack competition at the company's 2018 Forklift Rodeo National Championship. Sanchez, of Stockton, Calif., is a six-year employee with a spotless safety record. This was Sanchez's fifth appearance at the National Championship and second win on the pallet jack. He also took home top honors in the category in 2013.
Each June, Dot brings finalists from all 11 of its distribution centers across the country to Mt. Sterling to compete in the Forklift Rodeo National Championship. The finalists are selected based on regional competitions at each Dot location. Finalists qualify on one of four pieces of equipment: narrow aisle, forklift, pallet jack, or order picker. The competition is designed to highlight the importance of safety measures and show mastery of their job duties. Finalists must navigate an obstacle course of pallets with their piece of material handling equipment while balancing a basketball on an upturned trash can. Participants are penalized for improper dismounts, basketball drops, bumping objects on the course, and failure to stop or honk at intersections. Finalists from Mt. Sterling, Ill. took home the top prizes for the narrow aisle, forklift, and order picker competitions.
"Not everyone in this industry holds an event like the Forklift Rodeo," David Bigelow, Dot Foods California general manager, said. "The Rodeo allows our employees, from all different locations, to interact with one another in a fun environment. The National Championship also allows Dot to promote the importance of safety and continue recognizing and rewarding our employees working in the warehouse. Congratulations to all of the winners this year."
As a national champion, Sanchez won his choice of an all-expense paid vacation for one of the following locations: Cancun, Mexico, Caribbean cruise, cruise of the Bahamas, Disney World in Orlando, Fla., New York City, San Antonio, or St. Petersburg Beach, Fla.

Children of all ages are catered for at Guildford Baptist Church, with different activities for them to get involved with, both on Sundays and during the week.
Our vision for the children's ministry is 'Love God, Love Others'; this tagline is the foundation on which we build our work on Sundays and throughout the week. We hope that what we do in our ministry to children and families, both aspires to, and reflects this.
In their different small groups on a Sunday, you will find that the children will spend time in worship, learning Bible stories, playing games and doing various types of craft.
Our work is only possible with the help of many members of the Church, all of whom have given up time to care for our children and show God's love to them. On Sunday mornings we have a team of more than 60 adults working with around 100 children in six different age groups. All our volunteers are vetted according to the Child Protection policy guidelines for working with under 18s.
For any enquiries, please contact Lydia Birmingahm: email@example.com or 01483 575008

Quite possibly the funniest live performer I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. He's a true original, with a laid-back, conversational style and philosophical approach to writing. TV has always had trouble capturing this guy's stuff in the confines of a 20 minute monologue, but there's no one better in a comedy club.
He's crude, sexist, racist, and ignorant, but he's also really smart and provocative with his material. Patrice is the real deal.

Previously on The Inevitable Love Story: Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five
Things were going well as "friends". We texted each other during the day and occasionally hung out in the evening that week. We kept it very casual. That is until July 14th. After church that day, as we texted back and forth, I expressed to him that I felt things were still a bit awkward and no matter what we said about there being no pressure, there still was. We both tried to brainstorm ideas on how to fix this dilemma. I finally told him I had an idea, but was a little embarrassed to tell him what my solution for our problem was. He obviously wanted to know, but I said that I wasn't going to tell him over texting and he would just have to wait to find out.
That night, we got together a group of friends. We watched Despicable Me and made rootbeer floats. Once the movie was over, we were anxious to find something exciting to do. Next thing you know, we're all in the pool after jumping in fully clothed. We spent hours swimming and playing games. Once we realized that it was one in the morning, everyone parted ways. It was truly a fun evening and for once, there felt like absolutely no pressure. It was a carefree and easy night between us. Once I got home, I received a text from Andrew saying that he had hoped we would have at least a few minutes alone so I could tell him my solution and he was wondering if I was still up for talking. I decided to be brave and said he could come over even though it was nearing 2 AM.
We sat on my couch and I tried to avoid the topic. I was scared to tell him. He eventually got me to admit my thoughts as I blurted out, "Just kiss me already!" He was taken aback, completely confused. He thought I was going to tell him that we should give up and stop trying to possibly get back together in the future. Boy, was he wrong. I explained to him how I felt kissing would ease a lot of the pressure. We both knew it would come eventually, might as well get it out of the way. He tried to be a gentleman saying that he didn't want me to question his intentions. I told him that I appreciated that, but to knock it off and kiss me. And so he did. He grabbed my face in his hands and went in for the kiss.
And you know what? It worked. My solution worked. After the kiss, we were completely relaxed with each other. We stayed up until five in the morning laughing and talking and occasionally kissing. It was perfect.
Although we weren't "officially" back together just yet, we became inseparable after that night.

FCGI::Engine::Core - A base class for various FCGI::Engine flavors
This is a base class for various FCGI::Engine flavors, it should be possible to subclass this to add different approaches to FCGI::Engine.
The basic FCGI::Engine shows a Catalyst/CGI::Application style approach with a simple handler class, while the FCGI::Engine::PSGI shows how this can be used to run things like PSGI applications.
This class is mostly of interest to other FCGI::Engine flavor developers, who should pretty much just read the source. The relevant docs are to be found in FCGI::Engine and FCGI::Engine::PSGI.

June 16 (UPI) -- Police in Canada made an unexpected rescue after finding a premature seal pup on a routine boat patrol Thursday.
A man flagged down Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers in Coquitlam, British Columbia to alert them of the baby seal that appeared to have been abandoned by its mother for more than a day.
"We made a quick detour to the Vancouver Aquarium's Marine Mammal Rescue Center," Cpl. Justin Abels said. "The staff there named the pup 'Fort St. James' and said it looks like he was premature and only a day or two old. Now the staff will do their best to rehabilitate Fort St. James over the next two months before releasing him into the wild."
Police shared video of the baby seal after it was rescued, showing matted fur and wounds near its face.
"The pup definitely needed some food and it had a few superficial abrasions," Cpl. Michael McLaughlin told Global News. "It was in pretty rough shape, but nothing that we don't think the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre can help out with."
Police said the rescue was a rare situation and urged anyone who encounters a seal pup alone to not assume it is abandoned, but provide the animal with space and time for its mother to return.

I absolutely LOVE lamb, but rarely eat it for reasons I'm not entirely sure of. But when I saw a recipe in Good Food magazine for lamb stuffed aubergine while I was in the midst of a serious aubergine kick, it was just too perfect to ignore. Annoyingly, the area where I live seemed to be suffering a serious lamb shortage the day I made these as I went to three different supermarkets and couldn't get lamb mince in any of them. What?! So I ended up using lamb leg steak instead, just dicing it up as small as I could manage and, though I'm still yet to try this recipe with proper mince, I suspect this version might actually be even better – certainly leaner, which can be no bad thing.
The original BBC recipe also calls for ras el hanout, which I was sure I had in the cupboard so I didn't bother buying any on the fruitless lamb mission. Turns out, I'd used it all so had to wing it by throwing in all the spices I did have which go into a typical ras el hanout blend. If you have it, use it, if not, just wing it. It'll be fine. If I remember rightly, it also used sultanas but I'll never be a fan, so I left those out.
You will need… (serves 2)
1 large aubergine (or 2 smaller)
1 lean lamb leg steak (or mince, approx 150g)
1 small red onion
2 cloves garlic (or less, if you're weak)
A handful of pine nuts
A handful of fresh parsely
A good pinch of the following seasonings – as many of these as you have are fine, it won't suffer too much if you don't have one or two:
Smoked paprika
Ground coriander
Ground cumin
Chilli flakes or powder
Fennel seeds
Start by preheating the oven to 200c (180 for fan ovens, or gas mark 6) and preparing your aubergine(s). Slice in half lengthways, score gently and spray or drizzle with a little oil. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
In the meantime, finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. If using mince, you needn't do anything with it but if you're using leg steak, dice it up as small as you can manage. Chop up the parsely, too, get that out of the way.
Warm up a frying pan over high heat, adding a drizzle of oil if using steak (you won't need it if using mince). When the pan's very hot, tip in the lamb and brown for somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes. When the liquid that comes off the meat has evaporated, you can move on. Add the onion, garlic and all the spices you're using, and keep the heat up to allow the meat and onion to caramelise. Add the pine nuts and parsley, then set aside.
Once the aubergine is done, scoop the flesh from each half and add this to the pan with the lamb mixture. Make sure to leave a small border of aubergine flesh in the skins to keep them reasonably sturdy. Scoop the lamb, mixed with the aubergine flesh, back into the skins. Return to the oven for 10 or so minutes to heat everything through, and serve with whatever you like – we had buttered Jersey Royals and steamed tenderstem broccoli. Perfection.

Whisky Tumbler - Hand Thrown Ceramic
A like a whisky every now and then and think its important what you drink it out of. I decided to have a go at a whisky tumbler, in ceramic, to see if it was good to drink from. To my surprise it was very good and great for use in the garden.
I have thrown the walls and the base of the tumbler quite thin unlike a traditional heavy whisky glass. The tumbler is wide and fills the hand.
I am not sure why it works , but it definitely does. For me its a large measure of whisky over one ice cube. I also make small water jugs for those of you that take it with a splash of water.
Approx 9 cm high x 10 cm wide.

How to Wear a Toga. Toga parties are very popular these days, especially for adults and college students. Make your next party a toga party and enjoy the breezy outfits. Buy some good wine and grapes and get ready to do as the Romans do.
Throw away that sheet. It won't fit, and cabbage roses won't look all that authentic anyway.
Buy 3 to 4 yards of drapey material. Cotton, muslin or poplin will work best.
Wear whatever you want on top; for example, a T-shirt, a bathing suit top or a sleeveless tank is fine.
Holding the length horizontally, wrap the material around your waist 1.5 times.
Pin it or tie it.
Throw the rest of the fabric over either shoulder.
Bring fabric back to your waist and tuck it into waistband. You can also tie it with a similarly colored sash, or pin it again.
Adjust the material to cover more of what you want to cover.
- Sandals are authentic footwear to complete your toga outfit.
- History reveals that the Romans (and Greeks, for that matter) didn't go bare-shouldered at all; they wore a tunic-like garment beneath the toga.
- Experiment with different materials, if you like. Upper arm bangles and/or laurel wreaths can also be nice additions to your costume.
- Experiment with your fasteners. You don't want to lose your toga in the middle of your speech, do you?

Short stories penned by two East Renfrewshire residents have been chosen to be published for Book Week Scotland.
Margaret McVey, from Giffnock, and L.M. Sloan, from Barrhead, were selected from 600 other writers to win a place in Journeys.
On her story The final journey, Margaret said: "My husband died suddenly 13 years ago. As I reflected on the journey to the hospital, the tears seemed to be the ink for my pen, and it was therapeutic to write down the saddest experience which would have been difficult to verbalise to anyone.
"When I found out that my piece had been picked, my initial reaction was surprise and gladness. It's such a paradox that that which caused such pain should also give me joy. The nurse in me would say it's like medicine for the soul."
L.M.'s story, The Bedtime Express, is dedicated to her father — she commented: "My Dad believed in me when no one else did, and I'm so glad he inspired me to keep writing."
The Scottish Book Trust competition marks Book Week Scotland, running November 23-29 across Scotland, with plenty of book lover events taking place in Glasgow — see www.bookweekscotland.com.

Ski area hopes ABC board doesn't shred liquor license
After a day's skiing on the steep slopes of Arctic Valley, it's not uncommon for skiers and snowboarders to gather in the slopeside Alpenglow Lodge to swap tales of fresh powder over a glass of wine or beer. It's a tradition that links the small nonprofit ski area with lodges from Alaska to the Alps.
"Apres ski is something that's a part of ski culture all over the world," said Arctic Valley general manager John Robinson-Wilson last week.
Those post-piste gatherings may become a little less spirited if the Alaska Alcohol Beverage Control Board goes along with a recommendation by the state's Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) to deny the ski area's permit for a recreational liquor license.
"We're certainly concerned and we're taking it seriously," Robinson-Wilson said.
In a letter to the board in advance of its June 12 meeting, AMCO director Ericka McConnell wrote Arctic Valley does not satisfy the requirements of a recreational site license, which defines "recreational site" as "a location where baseball games, car races, hockey games, dog sled racing events, or curling matches are regularly held during a season."
"There do not appear to be 'events' regularly held at a ski area," McConnell wrote in her recommendation. "While ski race events may be held at a ski area, there is no indication that Arctic Valley holds and is limited to such competitive events, which is a common thread of the examples provided in the statute."
Arctic Valley is run by the nonprofit Anchorage Ski Club and includes a T-bar, two chair lifts and a tube park. The sleepy ski area nestled high in the Chugach Mountains (the base is at about 2,500 feet) was originally established by the U.S. Army, and today known for providing skiers and riders a lift-accessible backcountry ski experience within a short drive of Anchorage or Eagle River.
Robinson-Wilson said he thinks the ski area fits the definition of a recreational site, and said the license has been renewed three times since it was originally obtained in 2010 — despite legislative audits in 2014 and 2018 that found other locations such as pool halls or bowling alleys to be noncompliant with the regulations.
"Our license was renewed in 2016 after that audit came out," he said.
In addition to bowling alleys and pool halls, the 2014 and 2018 audits of the law specifically singled out a sports center/pub, a gym, a gift shop, theaters, tour companies, an art council and a spa.
"These business types did not meet the definition of a recreational site nor were operations limited to a season," reads the 2014 audit.
Arctic Valley was never singled out as an example of a noncompliant location.
"Our license was not mentioned in either audit," Robinson-Wilson said.
Though the nonprofit can forge ahead without the liquor license, he said he's hopeful the board sides with Arctic Valley and renews the license.
"We think we have a pretty good case," he said.
However, if the board decides not to renew the license, he said it could mean the end of apres ski at Arctic Valley.
"It would certainly hurt the atmosphere up here," he said.
