Screen printing and block printing are two creative techniques that allow individuals to unleash their creativity and add a personal touch to textiles. These DIY methods provide a unique opportunity for individuals to showcase their artistic skills and create one-of-a-kind designs.
By learning the basics of screen printing and block printing, anyone can transform ordinary fabrics into works of art.
Screen printing is a technique that involves transferring ink onto a surface through a mesh screen. It allows for precise and detailed designs to be printed onto various textiles, such as t-shirts, bags, and even home decor items. With the right tools and materials, individuals can experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures to create visually stunning pieces.
On the other hand, block printing is a method that involves carving a design onto a block of material, such as wood or linoleum, and then stamping it onto fabric. This technique offers a more hands-on approach and allows for a range of artistic possibilities.
By understanding the step-by-step process of DIY screen printing and block printing, individuals can unlock their creativity and bring their innovative ideas to life.
The Basics of Screen Printing
The fundamentals of screen printing encompass various techniques, such as image preparation, stencil creation, and ink application, which collectively contribute to the intricate process of transferring designs onto textiles.
In screen printing, the first step is to prepare the image that will be printed onto the fabric. This can be done through various methods, such as hand-drawing or digital design.
Once the image is finalized, a stencil is created by blocking out areas that should not receive ink. This stencil is then attached to a screen, which is a fine mesh stretched over a frame.
Next, ink is applied to the screen and forced through the stencil onto the fabric using a squeegee. The ink passes through the open areas of the stencil, creating the desired design on the textile. This process can be repeated multiple times to create layered or multi-colored designs.
The beauty of screen printing lies in its versatility and ability to produce intricate and detailed designs on a variety of materials. It allows for endless possibilities and opportunities for creativity, making it a popular choice for artists and designers looking to unleash their imagination onto textiles.
Whether it's creating custom t-shirts, fabric patterns, or unique art prints, screen printing offers a platform for individuals to express their innovative ideas and bring them to life.
Tools and Materials Needed for Screen Printing
To successfully engage in the art of screen printing, one must have a selection of essential tools and materials at their disposal. These tools and materials are crucial in ensuring that the printing process is smooth and the final result is of high quality.
The main tool required for screen printing is a screen, which is typically made of a mesh material stretched over a wooden or aluminum frame. The mesh is coated with a light-sensitive emulsion that allows the design to be transferred onto the fabric.
Other essential tools include a squeegee, which is used to push the ink through the mesh onto the fabric, and a palette knife, which is used to mix and apply the ink onto the screen.
In addition to the tools, there are several materials that are necessary for screen printing. Firstly, a design or image is needed, which can be created using various methods such as drawing, stenciling, or digitally printing the design onto a transparency.
Next, a piece of fabric is required, which can be anything from a t-shirt to a piece of canvas. The type of fabric used will affect the final result, so it is important to choose a fabric that is suitable for screen printing.
Finally, ink is needed, which can be either water-based or oil-based. Water-based inks are more environmentally friendly and easier to clean up, while oil-based inks tend to have a longer drying time and are more durable.
By having these tools and materials on hand, one can unleash their creativity and experiment with different techniques and designs to create unique and innovative prints.
Step-by-Step Guide to DIY Screen Printing
One effective method for achieving professional-looking designs on fabric is by following a step-by-step guide for screen printing.
Screen printing is a technique that involves transferring ink onto a fabric through a mesh screen. This process allows for intricate and detailed designs to be printed onto textiles, making it a popular choice for artists and crafters.
To begin the DIY screen printing process, the first step is to prepare the design. This can be done by creating a stencil using either paper or a photo emulsion method.
Once the design is ready, the next step is to prepare the screen by applying a light-sensitive emulsion. The emulsion is then exposed to light using a UV light source, which hardens the emulsion and creates a stencil of the design on the screen.
After the screen is prepared, it is time to set up the printing station. This involves securing the fabric onto a printing surface and placing the screen on top. Ink is then applied onto the screen and spread evenly using a squeegee. The squeegee is then used to press the ink through the screen and onto the fabric, creating the desired design.
Once the printing is complete, the fabric is left to dry and the design is set.
Screen printing offers a multitude of possibilities for creativity and innovation. Artists and crafters can experiment with different colors, textures, and techniques to create unique and personalized designs. The process allows for precise control over the printing, ensuring that each design is reproduced accurately and consistently.
Additionally, screen printing can be used on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, and polyester, making it a versatile option for textile printing. DIY screen printing also provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing pre-printed fabrics or hiring professional printers.
By following a step-by-step guide, individuals can unleash their creativity and bring their imaginative designs to life on fabric. Whether it is creating custom t-shirts, tote bags, or home decor items, DIY screen printing offers endless possibilities for those seeking to add a touch of innovation and personalization to their textile creations.
Exploring Block Printing Techniques
Exploring various techniques in block printing allows for a wide range of design possibilities and artistic expression on fabric. Block printing, a traditional form of textile printing, involves the use of carved blocks to transfer ink onto fabric. This technique offers endless creative opportunities as artists can experiment with different block designs, ink colors, and fabric types.
By using various block printing techniques, artists can create intricate patterns, bold designs, and unique textures on textiles.
One popular block printing technique is called 'repeating pattern.' In this technique, a single block is carved with a design that can be repeated continuously across the fabric. This allows for the creation of visually appealing patterns that can be seamlessly repeated, creating a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design.
Another technique is called 'layering.' This involves using multiple blocks to print different colors or patterns on top of each other. By layering the prints, artists can create depth and complexity in their designs. The possibilities are endless as artists can mix and match different blocks to create a truly unique and innovative piece of fabric art.
Overall, exploring different block printing techniques opens up a world of possibilities for artistic expression on fabric. Whether it's creating repeating patterns or experimenting with layering, artists can unleash their creativity and innovate in the realm of textile design. This traditional form of printing has stood the test of time and continues to captivate artists and enthusiasts alike with its versatility and potential for innovation.
In conclusion, DIY screen printing and block printing on textiles offer a world of creative possibilities. By understanding the basics of screen printing and acquiring the necessary tools and materials, individuals can easily embark on this artistic journey.
The step-by-step guide to DIY screen printing provides a clear and concise framework for beginners to follow, while the exploration of block printing techniques opens up a whole new realm of artistic expression.
Screen printing allows individuals to transfer their designs onto textiles with precision and detail, resulting in professional-looking prints. With the right tools, such as a screen, squeegee, and ink, along with a bit of practice and patience, anyone can achieve stunning results. The step-by-step guide breaks down the process into manageable steps, ensuring that even those new to screen printing can confidently create their own unique designs.
On the other hand, block printing offers a more hands-on and tactile approach to textile design. By carving a block and applying ink to it, individuals can create beautiful and intricate patterns on fabric. The exploration of block printing techniques introduces various methods, such as relief printing and repeat patterns, allowing artists to experiment and push the boundaries of their creativity.
In summary, DIY screen printing and block printing on textiles provide an avenue for individuals to unleash their creativity and express themselves through art. With the right tools, materials, and techniques, anyone can transform plain fabrics into personalized masterpieces.
Whether it's screen printing for precise and detailed designs or block printing for a more hands-on experience, the possibilities are endless. So grab your tools, let your imagination run wild, and embark on a journey of artistic self-expression.

New York, NY — "The American people want to be heard on both sides. In order to do our job well…we need to have a level of bravery and thick skin and fearlessness." These quotes can be found in a scathing resignation letter written by former New York Times op-ed staff editor about culture and politics, Bari Weiss, on July 14th.
You can find The Liberty Loft's coverage of Weiss' resignation here.
Similarly, a former MSNBC producer wrote an open letter on Monday explaining why she left the far-left network a little over a week ago, saying that they are a "cancer" that is "stoking national division" by amplifying "fringe voices" and forcing "journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis."
The letter was written by Ariana Pekary, who Fox News noted described herself as an "integral member" of MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell." Ms. Weiss took to twitter Monday with the following tweet regarding Ariana Pekary's letter of resignation.
Integrity. Eager to see what @arianapekary does next. https://t.co/1LnhhOxYgP
— Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) August 3, 2020
Pekary began her letter by sharing quotes of what people said to her over the last couple of years as she debated leaving the network due to the detrimental effect that it is having on society.
Pekary wrote:
"July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don't know what I'm going to do next exactly but I simply couldn't stay there anymore. My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis."
Pekary said that at MSNBC, it was "practically baked in to the editorial process" that decisions on what and who give coverage to were based on what would generate the most ratings for the network. She said that behind closed doors "industry leaders will admit the damage that's being done."
A high profile TV veteran reportedly told her, "We are a cancer and there is no cure. But if you could find a cure, it would change the world."
"As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis," Pekary said. "The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events, at the expense of others… all because it pumps up the ratings."
"Context and factual data are often considered too cumbersome for the audience," Pekary later added. "There may be some truth to that (our education system really should improve the critical thinking skills of Americans) – but another hard truth is that it is the job of journalists to teach and inform, which means they might need to figure out a better way to do that. They could contemplate more creative methods for captivating an audience. Just about anything would improve the current process, which can be pretty rudimentary (think basing today's content on whatever rated well yesterday, or look to see what's trending online today)."
Pekary said that she has heard colleagues "deny their role as journalists," and claims that a "senior producer" told her, "Our viewers don't really consider us the news. They come to us for comfort."
"Through this pandemic and the surreal, alienating lockdown, I've witnessed many people question their lives and what they're doing with their time on this planet," Pekary continued. "I reckon I'm one of those people, looking for greater meaning and truth. As much as I love my life in New York City and really don't want to leave, I feel fortunate to be able to return to Virginia in the near term to reconnect with family, friends, and a community of independent journalists. I'm both nervous and excited about this change. Thanks to COVID-19, I'm learning to live with uncertainty."
Pekary concluded by writing, "More than ever, I'm craving a full and civil discourse."

Mining equipment – how to assure the employees professional job conditions?
Working in the building industry is believed to be a relatively risky job. It is so because of different reasons. First of all, above mentioned employees use machines.

Another factor that may have influence to problems of the employees is that they usually work on pretty great heights.

Healthy relationships have boundaries and so do friendships. Indicating boundaries in friendships ensures healthy, deep and valuable relationships, but what are your boundaries and how do you indicate them?
Not everyone sets boundaries easily with friends or family. Expressing these boundaries and sticking to them often turns out to be quite difficult in practice. We are often conflict avoidant busy because we don't feel like a hassle. Often you think: 'well it must be good'. Only then will you get irritated by that one friend who is always late or by your mother who calls five times a day.
Of course it is difficult to express what your limits are. For example, I ignored a friend who really only talked about herself and sucked energy. She probably had no idea that's why the friendship broken because I didn't say anything. That is passive-aggressive behavior.
I didn't honestly say what I felt, but the girlfriend in question could count on silence from my side. While it would of course have been much better to say what was bothering me, then she could have done something with it (or not).
What are friendship boundaries?
To know when to indicate a limit, it is good to first clearly explain what a limit is exactly. When we talk about a border, we are talking about one line of respect. It is the way you want to be treated in which you prevent someone from exhibiting undesirable behavior in your presence through communication.
The importance of setting boundaries in friendships
I had a friend who preferred to talk about men all day long. These endless stories kind of annoyed me, I didn't care, but I couldn't bring myself to say that I found it annoying. So I reluctantly listened to all talk about potential lovers and what was wrong with that. Only when it came to topics that I touched personallylike having children and IVF, I thought it was enough.
She literally said: "I'm heartbroken (after another failed date) and don't feel like people in my life talking about children, you don't want to start having children too."
That went too far for me, if she had listened, she knew that we were working on IVF and that I did want a child. A remark like: "You don't want to start having children, do you?" was therefore not appropriate. I've drawn my line, honestly I'm the one blunt comment and she was shocked by that. She didn't realize that this actually came across as very selfish.
Set your own limits
Before you set limits, you naturally want to know what your limits are. And what the consequences are if someone does not adhere to these limits. Because setting boundaries is one thing, if someone crosses them, you want to act on them. Suppose you find it very annoying that a friend sends you Whatsapp messages all day and expects you to respond immediately, then it is clear what the limit will be.
Share honestly with the avid apper that you like it too much because you simply don't want to spend all day on your phone. Sharing with the person why you're setting a boundary makes it clear to both parties.
Suppose the flow of Whatsapp messages continues, then it's okay not to respond. After all, you have shared that you are not served by all those messages. If this is driving you apart, that's the result…
Be prepared for negativity
Suppose you indicate a limit, then it is possible that the other person does not understand or respect your limit. This happens regularly. If you always like everything, and suddenly say: 'I don't want this anymore', then you can negative feedback to expect. This can lead to conflict or even the end of a relationship. Then you realize that this relationship would never end well. It's always give and take… and setting boundaries helps with that.
If someone doesn't respect your boundaries, they want to get their way and don't care about your feelings. Suppose someone expects you to always be there for him or her, but because you are not feeling well yourself, that is not possible for a while.
Then it's best to say that you're struggling and that it's not going well for a while. It makes sense that you troubles of another then can't have it. Normally someone would understand that, if not, it is better to take a step back.
The reason why you set a limit is very important and you can also share it with your friend or family member. If you set limits and indicate why it is so important to you, you can be proud that you think about yourself. Ultimately, it prevents passive aggressive behavior and misunderstanding. It ensures that you take each other into account and that is only beautiful, isn't it?

International flights to and fro Somalia have resumed after approximately five months break. This resumption is in line with the government's directive on Thursday, July 30, that international flights would resume on Monday, August 3.
The federal government of Somalia banned international flights, including khat (Miraa) planes, in mid-March as part of its efforts to contain coronavirus.
While issuing a statement on Thursday permitting this resumption, Caretaker Prime Minister Mahadi Mohamed Guled alias Khadar announced that all travelers jetting into the country will be required to produce a medical certificate confirming they are coronavirus free. The certificate should be issued not earlier that 72hours before the arrival. Mahadi added that all travelers will also be taken through a mandatory screening with those displaying COVID-19 symptoms being quarantined for the first 14 days of their stay.
The suspension on Khat flights remains effective until further notice as the government fears if lifted, the narcotic could contribute to increased COVID-19 infections.
The Somali Government has also ordered the reopening of all schools and universities, effective August 15. All education centers were closed in March, barely a week after the country recorded the first COVID-19 case.
Somalia is the second East African country to order for resumption of learning after Tanzania who declared itself coronavirus-free in June thanks to prayers by citizens.
Somalia has recorded a decline in Covid-19 cases with the country recording 3,220 cases, 1,598 recoveries and 93 deaths as of 31 July.

Greetings my dear friends, i want to start by thanking God for his Mercy, Grace, favor and provision for this meeting and want to thank you all for praying for IMPACT - 2008 it was awesome. WE CREATED HISTORY.
It was one powerful day. We had a record turn out of 1100 young people, from about 60 churches. The whole auditorium was filled with shouts of praise, dancing and celebration. We had an awesome time of worship, the Spirit if God moved in a mighty way, young people were speaking in tongue's and seeing visions many were experienced speaking in tongue's for the first time and many were healed and delivered during the time of worship.
The bible says His word will not return void, so did it happen on that day. God used and spoke through Pastor Martin very practically of coming out of slavery and being useful for God from the book of Philemon. The word of God came in Power and Might penetrating every soul and heart and about 140 of them rededicated their lives to Christ Jesus, many were set free from addictions and sinful obsessions. That's the reward for all our prayers and efforts - Hearts and lives being changed and God's Name being Glorified.
We had a great feast and it was time for some fun…. We had five competitions eating, singing, preaching,dancing and quiz. All the churches came prepared for them. There was an uproar of noise as guys and girls started to support and cheer for the churches. It was hard for the judges to pick the best as all of them were doing great. Many hidden talents were surfacing and all of them stayed till the end and received their prizes and gifts. The First overall championship trophy went to Praise Garden Church (Pallikarani) and the Second went to TELC Christ King Church (Kalpakkam).
I receive phone calls from pastors and youth leaders of how their young people's lives have changed intensely and how they being such a blessing to the church and community. Many pastor called and said the competitions opened their eyes to see that they have such talented and gifted youths in their church. Overall through the meeting Jesus Christ Rocked the district of kanchipuram and set hearts on fire for Him. None of them went empty that day they left as Impactor's, Warriors and Planet shakers ready to spread the revival fire to their church, community and district.
I believe young people are the future for the nation of India what more if these young people are all Jesus Orientated ready to make an IMPACT where ever they go like their Master Jesus Christ.
Praise Jesus Hey………
I once again thank God and thank everyone who prayed and supported in every way for this meeting. May God Bless You and May His Countenance Shine Upon You.
I leave you with some memorable pictures of Impact - 2008

From July 21st through the end of the year, a timeline of serious obstacles threatens to crater the speculative Bitcoin marketplace. One of those events has been called a "Bitcoin civil war" and could threaten the very existence of the crypto currency. That's why people are taking profits right now, selling their Bitcoin holdings and driving the price downward. (See BitRAPED.com for more coverage.)
Remember: Bitcoin isn't backed by gold. It isn't backed by anything at all. There's nothing technically superior to Bitcoin compared to other crypto currencies such as Ethereum or Z-cash. As a result, nearly all the growth in Bitcoin over the last few months was based on speculative greed, where people hope to cash in on the bubble of crypto currencies even though they don't understand the real risk.
The Bitcoin promoters telling you that you can't trust the dollar because it's fiat currency usually fail to inform you that Bitcoin is crypto fiat currency, backed by nothing. In fact, one of the "fixes" being discussed by the Bitcoin community right now would result in lifting the limit of 21 million Bitcoins, allowing potentially unlimited future Bitcoins to flood the marketplace, thereby devaluing presently-held Bitcoins. Quantitative easing, it seems, isn't just for central banks...
I've explained all this in more detail in my studio video, below, recorded on June 7th, 2017, long before the Bitcoin market began to really crumble. For the record, I support the idea of decentralized crypto currency and rendering corrupt central banks obsolete. However, Bitcoin is so far lost into the depths of greed and hucksterism that I can't stay silent on this issue.

I have created a new CPT called 'Properties' and have added a new taxonomy called 'Project Categories' which then have subcats called 'Current_projects' and 'Past_projects'. I want to have a button on the archive-property.php page which when clicked shows either one or the other category's related posts.
I used CPT UI to build both the taxonomy and the custom post.
in the archive-property.php, I have the following code:
<?php if( have_posts() ) : ?>
<div id="post-list" class="columns property-grid">
<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'partials/content' , 'property' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // while has_post(); ?>
<?php the_posts_pagination(); ?>
<?php endif; // if has_post() ?>
Inside the template partial it just calls the article information (title, excerpt, etc).
This pulls all my postings however in that Custom Post type. How do I have it so that it only pulls posts with 'current_projects'? I plan to have a div/tab system that filters between the two.

Chelsea 2
Azpilicueta 41
Alonso 105
Argyle 1
Gillesphey 8
No Pilgrim will ever forget the day we came so very close to taking the European Champions all the way to a penalty shoot-out.
Argyle ignited the possibility of an FA Cup dream with a terrific Macaulay Gillesphey header on eight minutes. Chelsea were frustrated all the way to the brink of half-time, when home captain Cesar Azpilicueta converted a skilful leveller.
The Greens defended brilliantly in the second half to force extra-time but ultimately went out to a well-taken goal from substitute Marcos Alonso.
On a day of heroic performances, Argyle kept piling forward in search of the goal that would force penalties, and were given a big chance when Ryan Hardie won a spot-kick three minutes from time, but Kepa made the save to rescue his exhausted team of global stars.
Argyle manager Steven Schumacher made three changes from the 3-1 win at Doncaster last weekend, with Danny Mayor, Panutche Camara and Jordon Garrick coming in for Adam Randell, Ryan Broom and Niall Ennis.
After a two-week break from Premier League action, Chelsea named a side packed with international talent, including the likes of German giant Antonio Rudiger at the back, Italian midfield icon Jorginho and Belgium's powerhouse striker Romelu Lukaku.
A bright start from the Blues forced Mike Cooper into an early interception as a deep cross sought the run of Lukaku before a low Jorginho volley was arrowed narrowly wide.
It proved to be the calm before a wonderful Argyle storm, as over 6,000 Pilgrims inside Stamford Bridge, and countless more around the world, screamed with delight after a superbly-worked opening goal.
Jordan Houghton was the architect from a free-kick on the left flank, whipping over the perfect delivery for Gillesphey to glance a delightful header beyond Kepa and inside the far post.
It was the perfect set-piece routine and the perfect start, but the Chelsea reply was a sweeping move down the left and a lay-off from Lukaku was thumped against the bar by Mateo Kovacic.
In a thrilling start, Argyle were soon back on the attack, as a fabulous team move culminated in a Luke Jephcott cutback for Camara on the edge of the box, but his curling effort was charged down by Malang Sarr.
The game calmed into a period of assured defensive shape from the Greens, with Gillesphey, Dan Scarr and James Wilson doing a fine job of protecting the penalty area, ably assisted by wing-backs Conor Grant and Joe Edwards.
In midfield, Camara, Houghton and Mayor were working tirelessly, with Jephcott and Garrick occupying Chelsea's illustrious back four, as the half-hour mark arrived with Cooper enjoying a relatively quiet afternoon in the West London sunshine.
Safe hands from a deflected Hakim Ziyech shot was greeted by another Green Army roar of approval. When Callum Hudson-Odoi did find space at the far post, his close-range header cannoned off the bar and away to safety.
Chelsea skipper Azpilicueta opted to try his luck from distance and Cooper got down smartly to his left to parry clear, as the home side looked to turn the screw.
Camara was covering every blade of Chelsea turf in a display that typified the Argyle approach but the Pilgrims were grateful to the woodwork for a third time on 38 minutes, when a raking drive from Kovacic struck the inside off the post.
Eventually, home pressure was rewarded with an incisive move down the right and a low cross from Mason Mount was cleverly flicked past an exposed Cooper by Spanish international Azpilicueta.
After another tremendous Scarr clearance, Jorginho whistled a drive inches wide to conclude a superb 45 minutes from the Pilgrims.
The second period opened with a flurry of Chelsea corners, all defended with discipline by Argyle, but there was great relief when a swift exchange between Mount and Ziyech resulted in a cross that just eluded the back-post lunge from Lukaku.
Successive blocks from Scarr and Gillesphey thwarted the next Chelsea foray before Cooper raced from his line for another solid save at the feet of Alonso. Schumacher then opted to freshen his attacking ranks with the introduction of Ennis for Jephcott.
After soaking up 20 minutes of second-half pressure, Argyle found their passing rhythm again and won a corner through the perseverance of Grant but Houghton's whipping delivery was punched clear by Kepa.
Seconds later, Chelsea substitute Kai Havertz was sent clear for a run on goal, only for captain Edwards to somehow race back for an incredible goal-saving challenge. Gillesphey repeated the trick with an equally astounding block on Lukaku.
Hardie returned from injury to replace Garrick for the final quarter, as Edwards found room for a swinging cross nodded wide by the advancing Camara.
A beautiful pass inside the left channel from Gillesphey found the run of Hardie, who was thwarted by Kepa racing to narrow the angle. It was a big chance for Argyle and another sign of the growing Green threat.
Chelsea responded with Lukaku using his strength to feed a pass into the path of Mount for a rising drive from 18 yards, brilliantly tipped over by the imperious Cooper, as a fantastic game took yet another compelling twist.
Randell for Mayor was the next Pilgrim change before Cooper produced one more super save for his scrapbook, palming wide a Havertz effort, although the offside flag was raised in the aftermath.
Former Chelsea youngster Houghton took his turn in the list of incredible blocks to frustrate Ziyech on 85 minutes and Wilson then came across for a perfectly executed slide challenge on Timo Werner.
Referee Simon Hooper blew his whistle for extra-time at Stamford Bridge and the Green Army continued to provide their extraordinary, magnificent support.
Mount fizzed a 22-yarder wide before Broom and Ryan Law came on for the weary legs of Camara and Grant. Understandably, however, fatigue on both sides was the dominant factor in the first period of extra time.
Chelsea then found a decisive moment of international class on 105 minutes, with Havertz conjuring room for a cross from the right touchline and Alonso was in the right place to steer a neat finish into the far corner.
From somewhere deep within, Argyle found the energy for one last push. Law whipped over a terrific cross that fell to Broom for a sweet strike thumped clear by Kepa. The loose ball came back to Broom for a second attempt just about blocked by the body of Sarr.
The European Champions were clinging on and exhausted in the closing stages. A mistake by Sarr gifted Hardie a glorious chance and he compounded the error by bundling over Argyle's leading scorer for a clear penalty.
Sadly for Hardie and Argyle, Kepa guessed right and made an excellent save from the spot-kick. It was an incredibly harsh conclusion but nothing can take away from an astonishing performance from every single player, supporter and club official.
A proud day to be a Pilgrim.

The video was made during November 2013 in the municipality of Ricaurte, Nariño Department, Colombia. The day was the day of "subienda", (Brycon henni) that belongs to the Characidae family. This benthopelagic/pelagic species is endemic to Colombia and found in Trans-Andean river basins of Colombia. During the spawning season, fish go upstream to spawn. During the spawning migration of the species, the residents (especially the youth) head to the nearest river for the easy catching of the spawners using sheets, nets or even with their bare hands. The event shown in the video was an educational event designed to educate people about the harm which their practice can cause against the sustainability of this fishery resource which has economic value when caught using fishing rod and bait. This species has also an economic value for aquaculture in Colombia.

We recently covered voltage dividers in our Ask MAKE column. In the above two videos, done by our pal Jeri Ellsworth, computer industry legend Lee Felsenstein (member of the Home Brew Computer Club and Osborne designer) explains voltage dividers and how to calculate them. Things get pretty thick by part II and I pretty much got lost, but sharper math heads should prevail. These videos are labeled as "Lessons from Industry Legends." What a cool idea. I hope Fatman and Circuit Girl do more of these in the future.
4 thoughts on "Lee Felsenstein on voltage dividers"
at 3:19 (second part) he says that the ratio R2/R1 cant be bigger than one, but alpha can.
alpha cant be bigger that one, since Alpha=R2/(R1+R2) , so R1 should be negative to make Alpha bigger than one -
That's a nice explanation for students BUT once you have your theorical values, you need to go back into your maths with real E48 or E96 values.
So for me it's not the most effective way to calculate a bridge divider if you work in design.

Виголошена Постійним представником України при міжнародних організаціях України у Відні І.Прокопчуком на засіданні Постійної ради ОБСЄ 9 червня 2016 року
Mr. Chairman,
It is with great concern that we assess the situation in the conflict-affected areas of Donbas, where combined Russian-separatist forces have significantly intensified their aggressive activities. Sharp deterioration of security on the ground was in the focus of the phone talks, held by the Presidents of Ukraine and France and the German Chancellor on 6 June. The three leaders agreed that establishing security in Donbas in line with the Minsk Agreements remains a primary task and must be at the core of the international efforts.
The SMM reports and information from Ukraine's military staff portray an extremely worrying picture with the number of ceasefire violations being on the rise and heavy weapons, in particular mortars and towed high caliber artillery being widely used by the Russia-backed militants. They deliberately provoke violence by intensifying shellings and direct attacks on the Ukrainian positions, sniper fire and activities of their subversive groups. As a result 2 Ukrainian soldiers were killed and 44 were wounded during the first week of June.
It is a new dangerous development that the SMM and its monitoring equipment are deliberately targeted by militants' fire aimed at making effective performance of the Mission's duties impossible. Over a recent period the SMM lost two long-range UAVs and one mini UAV, all over the occupied territory of Donbas. The fact that both long-range UAVs were equipped with modern anti-jamming systems and flew at high altitude serves to indicate the origin of weaponry and the training of personnel, capable of hitting them. Notably, the last UAV was downed immediately after it had spotted dozens of tanks, MRLSs and heavy artillery in Donetsk and outskirts.
We regret that Moscow has not reacted to these incidents, just as to disconnection by the militants of the SMM cameras near the Donetsk airport, remaining disabled since 20 May. We reiterate our request to the Russian delegation to clarify whether specific measures were taken by the Russian side in the JCCC to resolve the issue of restoring work of the cameras.
It is unacceptable that the SMM continues to experience significant problems with its freedom of movement and access in the occupied areas of Donbas. Over 85% of restriction incidents happen there.
We consider the recent attacks on the SMM as also attacks on its mandate and attempts to conceal ongoing violations of the Minsk agreements. All such attempts are entirely unacceptable. We welcome the release in Donetsk of a captured SMM member and thank the Chairmanship and the SMM's leadership for their immediate efforts to this end. At the same time we condemn the capture of the SMM member as a deliberate act of intimidation. We urge Russia to deliver on its commitments on SMM's unfettered access and full freedom of movement as well as the security of its staff and equipment.
Distinguished colleagues,
The past week registered increased shellings of the residential areas, resulting in casualties among the peaceful civilians, and heavy damages of private houses and community facilities. On 6 June the SMM reported that a local resident was killed in Pervomayske, Donetsk oblast, during the militants' shelling. This shelling also destroyed the local kindergarten, which would not be able to receive children in September. Civilians were also wounded by the militants' shelling in Avdiyivka and Krasnohorivka.
The SMM again reported about eye-witness accounts that the illegal armed formations resorted to shellings from the residential areas of occupied Dokuchayevsk. This appalling practice was called as "usual" for provoking the Ukrainian forces to return fire.
Another evidence of utmost disdain for the security and humanitarian needs of the civilians along the contact line remains regular targeted shellings of the entry-exit checkpoints. The Ukrainian authorities were compelled to close two of them – in Zaytseve and Mayorsk – as sniper fire and mortar shellings put the lives of people crossing the contact line under threat.
We are concerned over the SMM report about the situation in Novooleksandrivka, where local residents have been effectively taken hostage by the illegal armed formations, exercising control over the village. As follows from the SMM report, the residents are unable to move freely to and from village despite they suffer from food and medicine shortage.
Intensified provocations by the combined Russian-separatist forces testify that Moscow maintains its aggressive course against Ukraine with military escalation in Donbas as a main element of its destabilization strategy. Security provisions of the Minsk Package of measures remain unimplemented by Russia and its proxies, which makes it impossible to place de-escalation on a solid basis and to progress on other aspects of the Minsk agreements, including on the political track.
Making public declarations on implementation of the Minsk agreements, which would restore Ukraine's sovereignty over the occupied part of Donbas, Moscow acts in the opposite way and continues to integrate these territories into Russian political, military, financial and ideological space, as well as to eradicate any sign of the Ukrainian identity there. Russian officials resume referring to the occupied areas of Donbas as so-called "republics" as it was done recently by the Russian Foreign Minister.
Pending are clarifications from the Russian delegation concerning the SMM report about its visit to the closed BCP "Uspenka", indicating that people with the so-called "DPR passports" and vehicles with so-called "DPR licence plates" were allowed to enter the territory of Russia. Relevant requests were made at the last two regular meetings of the OSCE Permanent Council.
Ukraine remains committed to sustainable de-escalation on the ground. At the last Normandy Ministerial in Berlin we put forward a comprehensive plan on urgent steps to this aim and expect that our proposals can be swiftly implemented. We urge Russia to abide by its commitments on peaceful resolution of the conflict, giving up its attempts to undermine the Minsk agreements by their selective interpretation and setting out conditions for stopping the shellings. Until now it has not yet happened.
There are a number of immediate steps, which are necessary and require a good-faith approach of Russia to advance the peaceful resolution:
Distinguished colleagues,
Ukraine notes the 14th Report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the human rights situation in Ukraine, which is based on findings of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine and covers the period from 16 February to 15 May 2016.
The Mission underlines the critical need to restore control by the Government of Ukraine over the entire border with Russia and to withdraw foreign fighters and all heavy weaponry. The Report once again testified to the large-scale crimes committed against Ukrainian citizens by the Russian occupation authorities in Crimea as well as by the combined Russian-separatist forces in Donbas.
According to the Mission, the human rights situation in Crimea, illegally occupied by Russia, has sharply deteriorated with the ban of Crimean Tatar Mejlis as one of the most recent signs. The majority of victims of the repressive policies by the occupying authorities have been Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians who publicly opposed Russian occupation of Crimea. Two weeks ago we drew attention of the Permanent Council to abduction of Ervin Ibragimov, member of the Executive Committee of the World Congress of Crimean Tatars and member of regional Mejlis. We note with concern that until now his whereabouts remain unknown.
We reiterate our persistent call on Russia as an occupying power, to take responsibility for stopping all human rights violations on the peninsula and to facilitate free and unconditional access of the international monitors to Crimea, which is also one of the Mission's recommendations, contained in the Report.
Ukraine takes the position of zero-tolerance to the human rights violations regardless of personalities and places. In this regard, we take serious note of the Mission's information on alleged abuses and violations committed by the representatives of Ukrainian military or security forces as well as of the recommendations provided. All facts reported will be subject to thorough check and investigation by the Ukrainian law-enforcement.
The worrisome developments in Donbas indicate that Moscow still opts for being a challenge, not a partner in terms of maintaining the international peace and order and countering security threats. It remains critically important that the international community maintains its political and economic sanctions, which were imposed in response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, to stimulate Moscow's return to the tenets of international law and full implementation of its Minsk commitments on peaceful resolution of the conflict in Donbas.
We urge Russia to restore its respect for the norms of international law and the OSCE principles and commitments, to halt its aggression against Ukraine and reverse the illegal occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.
Thank you, Mr.Chairman.

The purpose of this policy is to provide the University with an alternative withdrawal option of courses for a student who may have experienced extenuating or traumatic circumstances that are beyond their control.
Retroactive Withdrawal: A process that allows students to be withdrawn from the University for a past semester due to extenuating and traumatic circumstances. A student must apply for a retroactive withdrawal within one calendar year from the last day of the term they unofficially withdrew from their courses.
Retroactive Withdrawal Procedures
A student may petition to have all grades in an academic period (one or more semesters of continuous enrollment) be retroactively removed and be replaced by entries of "–W" on his or her transcript. A retroactive withdrawal may be granted only when a student could neither function normally during the academic period nor be reasonably expected to complete a university withdrawal due to extenuating circumstances such as an incident leading to major physical or mental trauma, or a similar circumstance as determined in the sole discretion of the University.
The following issues are not adequate circumstances for a retroactive withdrawal:
- Lack of time management
- Not satisfied with the grade you earned
- Not aware of university policies – withdrawal deadlines
- Participated in non-academic activities, limiting time for academic requirements
- Failed relationships or roommate issues
- Disciplinary withdrawal
Generally, a retroactive withdrawal is allowed for students to petition to a "--W" grade for only program specific didactic courses. However, students seeking to retroactively withdraw from experiential or clerkships may be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Dean's Executive Council Committee. A request is not allowed if the last semester covered by the request exceeds more than one calendar year.
Steps in submitting a Petition for a Retroactive Withdrawal:
Step 1: Students requesting a Retroactive Withdrawal for a past semester are required to first meet with the College specific Student Affairs Office, Academic Affairs Office, and Financial Aid Office to provide guidance and assist the student in gathering all the necessary required documentation prior to submitting a retroactive withdrawal form to the applicable Dean's Executive Council Committee.
The following documentation must be included with the Petition for a Retroactive Withdrawal. (Documentation not included will result in a denial of the petition).
Step 2: Personal Statement
Your personal statement must present a full account of why you feel you were unable to satisfactorily complete the semester. The extenuating circumstances must have been of major proportion and beyond your control.
Your personal statement must:
- be clear and concise, yet fully explain the situation
- include important reference dates
- adequately explain the extenuating circumstances that prevented you from satisfactorily completing the semester
Step 3: Supporting documentation must:
- clearly support and amplify the personal statement
- be verifiable, and on letterhead or other official documentation
- include specific dates noted in your personal statement
- you may also include any appropriate letters of recommendation from faculty or advisors
- the most convincing evidence will be from professionals who worked with you during the course of the illness or crisis and not from professionals who saw you after the trauma.
Step 4: Committee Decision:
Once the Petition for a Retroactive Withdrawal form has been completed and all required documentation has been included with the form, the Office of Student Affairs will give the information to the applicable Dean's Executive Council Committee for determination of approval or denial of the petition.
Upon decision of the petition, the applicable Dean's Executive Council Committee will forward the form and documentation to the Office of the Registrar for processing of approved petitions. If the petition is approved, the grade(s) will be retroactively removed and replaced by entries of "--W" on the academic transcript will include "Withdrawal" and the retroactive effective date.
A student who withdraws from CHSU and wants to return to complete their program may be considered for readmission upon re-application and are required to comply with all CHSU program specific admissions requirements for non-readmission applicants and provide the documentation as specified in the College specific Admissions Policy. Students who reapply for readmission must complete the specific program within the maximum length of time permitted by the program specific graduation requirements.

How Do You File 1099 Corrections Online?
One of the major advantages of the TSC1099 system is the ability to handle post-filing 1099 corrections. Knowing how to file amended 1099 forms is a problem for many organizations. Once the initial 1099 e-filing is done, corrections to existing 1099s or new forms must be transmitted to the IRS. The requirements for the correction filing can be complex and, if done incorrectly, may result in the assessment of IRS penalties.
Whether the issue is an incorrect amount entered or a mismatched Tax ID number, you need experts who can file a corrected 1099-NEC online or other form without risk of further errors. Although the process appears simple on the surface, filing a corrected 1099 needs to be handled with care. Any further mistakes can lead to delays or even charges from the IRS.
Tab Service Company makes it easy to spot errors and correct them. We assist with Type 1 errors, such as using the wrong box on the form, as well as Type 2 errors, which can include 1099s sent to individuals instead of their companies. If the error involved, however, involves the payer name and/or Tax ID, it must be resolved through a written letter to the IRS. In most cases, corrections should be submitted as soon as the errors are discovered.

Shoot From The Heart (Immi, 2006)
Reviewed by George Hauenstein
Though he's been under the radar for a while, he remains a top-notch singer. Few in Nashville these days pack as much soul into a song as Hunley. Paired with producer Norro Wilson, he has tapped some great writers for material, including Kris Kristofferson, Larry Shell and Dean Dillon.
Top songs include wonderful renditions of Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia On My Mind," Kristofferson's "Why Me, Lord", "I Can See You With My Eyes Closed" and a great country ballad, "Deep In The Arms Of Texas."
Hunley offers a few "Words From Con," in which he introduces the final two tracks on the record, a nice, personal touch.
Con Hunley continues to make good music. This album is proof. Fans may have to go the extra mile to find it, but they will be rewarded in the end.

How to attract more birds to your garden
It is said that birds evolved from dinosaurs. These ancient creatures bring an unmistakable benefit to our physical and mental health. Bird watching is a very relaxing and de-stressing activity bringing us closer to nature. Furthermore, birds provide us with a feeling of freedom, belonging and caring, and give us a reason to enter the outdoors to refill their feeders.
With that in mind, it would make sense to attract more of these beautiful animals to our gardens. But before we share our tips on attracting more birds to your outdoors, there are some considerations. The wildlife works as a whole ecosystem. Small organisms and insects attract larger predatory animals and birds. Try to remember this if you decide to bring more wildlife into your garden.
How to attract more birds in 4 basic steps
- Plant bird-friendly plants and hedges
- Provide bird feeders
- Supply water
- Provide additional nesting grounds
Plant bird-friendly plants and hedges
Bird-friendly shrubs and trees provide food supply to birds in the form of berries. Among the favourites are holly, hawthorn, bird cherry, and rowan. They are mostly small trees and can be found grafted on small rootstocks, making them suitable for any sized garden, and self-pollinating varieties are also widely available. Plant them in a position where you can see them from your preferred window.
According to the old saying, when loads of berries are produced, the winter will be cold, although this mostly applies to holly trees. It is nature's way to provide birds with extra calories before cold winter months.
Hedges provide shelter from predators as well as opportunities for birds to build their nest. While evergreen hedges are a viable option when it comes to your privacy, mixed deciduous hedges are a preferred source of food for birds. Mixed hedges generally include holly (although they are mostly evergreens), hawthorn, and hazelnuts. Bear in mind that hazelnuts attract squirrels, but as we said earlier, wildlife works as one ecosystem and it's quite impossible to only attract a sole species of an animal.
Climbing plants with dense foliage such as wisteria and honeysuckle can also attract birds. Even if they don't produce warm coloured blossoms, in direct sunlight they seem to be a magnet for birds and they like nesting in them. You would be surprised how many birds' nests I have come across that were in wisteria.
Provide bird feeders
Bird feeders are an excellent source of additional food supply during winter. It might take some time for the birds to acclimatize to the presence of food in your garden, so don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen overnight. Based on this fact, it is good for our mental health to wire in patience as one of the core skills for all aspects of our lives.
Bird feeders can contain different types of food, depending on the type of birds you would like to attract. Sparrows and robins like to feed on sunflower seeds, providing them with protein and fat, keeping them warm in the cold winter. Meat worms are a very good source of protein and attract mostly blackbirds. Peanuts in the bird feeder are providing our feathered friends fat and protein and attract finches among the others. Suet balls also called fat balls are packed with healthy fats and are favoured by robins.
For the best results, provide at least two bird feeders located near the shelter created by the dense foliage of plants. You can't hang them in the trees or even hedges. If you don't feel like spending extra money investing in bird feeders, you can place the food in plastic saucers. They are usually much cheaper but remember to place them close to shelter and importantly, above ground level.
Supply water
Water is an essential substance for all living organisms including birds. Birds not only use water for drinking but also for bathing too. They prefer to drink and bathe in shallow rather than deep.
Again, you could use plastic or a terracotta saucer from your garden pots. More expensive options would include the purchase of a bird bath. A strategically positioned bird bath in front of evergreen shrubs with dark green foliage can create an instant focal point, enhancing your garden.
Beneficially, we recommend allocating an area close to a shelter to position the water supply.
Provide additional nesting ground
Birds feel comfortable in a safe environment where they can lay eggs and raise their chicks. Nesting boxes located higher up in the trees can give birds and their young a hideaway spot. The small hole equipping nesting boxes disallows predators such as cats to enter.
Furthermore, the wooden nest boxes last for years making them a more durable material, also being hard to remove when firmly fitted to a tree as opposed to traditional birds' nests.
Note: in the warmer climate of the southern hemisphere, nest boxes are prone to snake attacks.
What else can I do to attract birds?
As mentioned earlier, wildlife is one ecosystem. Attract smaller animals or organisms to increase the number of predatory birds feeding on them. You can do this by including a pond in the corner of your garden, which is irresistible to insects. If you choose to keep fish in the pond, ensure to include protection from herons.
Well maintained topsoil in your garden is also beneficial as it accommodates a large number of earthworms and larva, the irresistible snack for most bird species.
Birds are ancient creatures able to put a smile on our faces when we least expect it. Luckily, birds are animals, meaning they are driven by their instinct. If you give them what they want, they will become your loyal companions for years to come.

It's Fantasy Football Championship Week, and Jake Ciely of RotoExperts.com is here to give you all of the key fantasy tips for NewOrleansSaints.com to help you take home the title.
I hope that you are joining the New Orleans Saints in coming off a big win and are now looking to win your league championship. The Saints looked great on Monday night against the Bears and will look to keep that momentum going in an important matchup with the Falcons at noon Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees had another impressive road performance, further proving he's elite no matter where he plays. Brees was efficient and terrific, going 29-for-36 with 375 yards and three touchdowns. Brees topped 300 yards (333) in the first game against the Falcons this year, while also throwing for a touchdown. That gave him 15.52 Fantasy Points (FP) on NFL.com, but you should expect better as Brees does remarkably well against the Falcons at home, averaging 28.81 FPPG the last four years.
Running back Mark Ingram had another good game as his workload jumped back up against the Bears. Ingram finished with 11.9 FP on 59 yards and a touchdown. The Falcons continue to allow the highest amount of FPPG to running backs at 24.16 on NFL.com. That includes a league high 18 rushing touchdowns allowed, and the next closest (TEN) has 15. The FPPG allowed actually increases to 26.25 over their last four games. This is a positive sign for Pierre Thomas, too. Thomas had just two carries, but he saw five targets, caught them all and put up 83 receiving yards. Keep Ingram locked in to your RB2 spot and Thomas in your RB3/Flex position with more potential in PPR for Thomas. ![]( http://www.xbox.com/en-US/entertainment/nfl#fbid=FFQDTWId3xN)
Kenny Stills and Marques Colston led the way for receivers with seven targets each. Their final stat lines were nearly identical with both catching five and Stills having 67 yards, while Colston had 65. Colston ended up with the bigger fantasy day thanks to a touchdown. Both are low-end WR2/high-end WR3 plays with the Falcons allowing 25.57 FPPG to receivers. In fact, Colston put up 110 yards on five catches in the first matchup. Nick Toon continues to have deep league value. Toon hauled in all four of his targets for 43 yards, and if he can find the end zone, you're looking at a championship x-factor in larger leagues.
Tight end Jimmy Graham was clearly a focus against the Bears. Graham saw seven targets like Stills and Colston did, and he too had five catches but was able to turn his into 87 yards. While Graham didn't find the end zone, it was still a nice output, and Graham put up 82 yards on eight catches in Week 1 against the Falcons. Graham is a no-doubt TE1 and one of the few elite options. Josh Hill surprised many with two touchdowns; however, they came on just two targets. Hill is a high risk/reward deep league play, as the Falcons have given up just two tight end touchdowns.
Shayne Graham had a decent week, and the Saints DST finished as the sixth best unit, thanks to three interceptions. Graham is a K1 this week in what should be a high-scoring affair. Plus Graham had 12 FP against the Falcons the first time. The DST is a bit riskier this week, as Ryan has thrown only 12 interceptions.
Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez has a much better matchup this week, as the Redskins allow the most FPPG to quarterbacks and have given up 31 touchdowns with only five interceptions. Robert Griffin III has plenty of upside in that game too. His rushing ability always makes him a fantasy threat, but the Eagles also allow 19.76 FPPG on NFL.com. The Cardinals' defense hasn't been as dominating as it was early this season, and Seattle QB Russell Wilson put up 19.74 FP on them with 73 rushing yards the first time the teams played.
Fred Jackson just keeps rolling on, even at his age, and he gets a great matchup this week. Even without a touchdown, F-Jax still has 26.7 FP over the last three weeks, and the Raiders give up 23.59 FPPG, including a 24.98 mark over the last four. Hopefully, you have avoided major running back injuries, but if you need a fill in, Toby Gerhart had 63 yards against the toughest run defense last week (Ravens) and now faces the third easiest (Titans).
When RGIII plays, DeSean Jackson's FPPG is 7.7 and 15.0 with everyone else, while Pierre Garcon's is 6.1/10.0. Both Smiths in Baltimore have high potential this week, as Torrey and Steve should take advantage of a Texans defense allowing 26.62 FPPG to WRs on NFL.com, which includes the second most touchdowns (19). Look for Charles Johnson to continue to impress, as the Dolphins pass defense has allowed 29.73 FPPG (fourth highest) over the last four games. The Packers have given up a high number of FPPG over the last four too, as they sit at 26.68 on NFL.com with eight touchdowns allowed. That's great news for Tampa receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.
The Redskins allow the second most FPPG to tight ends (10.24), the most over the last four weeks (12.88), and that includes the third most touchdowns (11). The Eagles aren't a tight end heavy team, but Zach Ertz brings nice upside in the matchup. The Cowboys have given up the third most tight end points and fourth most touchdowns (10). Dwayne Allen is touchdown reliant, but this is a matchup where you can bet on his scoring.
There are quite a few DST pickups for your championship game. The Bills are still just 66 percent owned on NFL.com, rank second overall and get the Raiders. The Packers are 47 percent owned and head to Tampa Bay. With injuries, the Texans have a new quarterback this week, and the Ravens are only 57 percent owned. The Panthers are a Top 10 defense the past two weeks and get the Browns. Lastly, the Titans and Jaguars face off and both teams give up a lot of DST Fantasy Points, just know that both are risky too.

Opinions wanted on new flood pump for Cumbrian town
Report by Ralph Blunsom
People in Appleby are being asked to give their views on plans for a major new pumping station in the town which it is hoped will five it extra flood protection.
The Environment Agency is behind this project, which has said it will give extra protection to 60 homes and businesses.
Appleby, in Eden, has flooded regularly for many years. It was particularly badly affected by the floods of December 2015, including Storm Desmond.
Councillor Gareth Hayes, Mayor of Appleby Town, has described the proposal as a chance to "future-proof" the town.
He said:
He added: "Along with the important building work going on across the town, this will make Appleby a safer and more enjoyable place to visit and give residents a greater security and peace of mind in the challenging times of climate change and economic regrowth."
Stewart Mounsey, Environment Agency flood risk manager for Cumbria, said: "We are looking forward to sharing our plans to reduce flood risk with the community in Appleby. We have been working really closely with the community to look at options to help reduce the impact of flooding in the future and have considered many options for the town.''
A drop-in session is being held in The Public Hall, Boroughgate, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm today.
Information will also be available following the event by e-mailing email@example.com.
