USA - Charity Behind the Scenes has announced a series of Mental Health First Aid virtual training classes throughout January and February.
The Mental Health First Aid course takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations with someone you are worried about by teaching you how to recognize the signs and symptoms, how to listen and give reassurance, and how to refer that person to appropriate professional support and services. The course is delivered in two parts - a self-paced online course followed by a six-hour virtual live instructor-led session.
Participants will learn about the risk factors and warning signs of mental health and substance use problems including information on depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis and substance use; the five-step ALGEE action plan to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or is in crisis, and the available evidence-based professional, peer and self-help resources. On completing the course, you will become a certified mental health first aider which is valid for three years.
The registration fee is $125, with IATSE Members and those working under IATSE agreements eligible for Training Trust Fund reimbursement upon proof of successful completion of the course. A limited number of partial and full scholarships are available - contact email@example.com for information. Training for Canadians is available through the AFC at https://afchelps.ca/mhfa.

UK - The ALPD has launched an evolution of its Lumière Scheme apprenticeship programme.
The Lumière Scheme provides a pathway into the industry for emerging lighting designers by creating professional opportunities that include practical training and professional experience. The new Production Lumière Scheme has been established as a pilot in 2021, with its first edition initially planned as a virtual process due to the continuation of COVID-19 restrictions within the theatre environment.
But circumstances as well as generous donations have since made it possible for this year's Lumières to benefit from a week of onsite paid work experience alongside their mentors, with all the associated networking opportunities that brings.
As such, the five successful Lumière applicants were paired with suitable and professionally established mentors. The Lumières engage in a series of structured discussions based around each stage of the production process, as well as some group-based masterclasses with leading industry professionals.
The 2021 ALPD Production Lumières are Izzy Waugh, mentored by programmer Victoria Brennan; Lewis Byfield, with mentor John Delaney, production electrician; Louisa Craig, mentored by programmer Dan Street; Rachel Stanwood-Jones, mentored by programmer Sarah Brown; and Dan Heesem, for whom production electrician, Fraser Hall is mentor. Stuart Porter and David Ayton run discussions and masterclasses for the Lumières with guest speakers.
The roles of production electrician and lighting programmer continue to evolv
France - PlugFest, the technical event for entertainment lighting interoperability, returns to Lille in France from 29-31 March 2022 following a two-year hiatus. Organised by PLASA, the popular event welcomes manufacturers, developers and technicians from across Europe to test their products and learn about the latest protocols.
PlugFest is an opportunity for participants to collectively test and demonstrate device and system interoperability with the aim of improving reliability, resolving compatibility issues and ultimately improving connectivity between all entertainment lighting and related technologies.
The event's expert hosts, Hamish Dumbreck (JESE Ltd), Peter Willis (Howard Eaton Lighting) and Wayne Howell (Artistic Licence) will host a series of workshops and technical break-out sessions and will also provide individual support and guidance. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about a wide array of protocols and technical standards, including the ESTA TSC developments.
The 2020 edition of the event sold out well in advance, with leading manufacturers such as GLP, Luminex, Highlite International, Robert Juliat, TMB, Claypaky, ChamSys, ETC, Chauvet and Eaton. Those interested in attending in 2022 are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment.
PlugFest takes place in the city of Lille, France which is directly connected to London with the Eurostar and all major European cities via a mainline train station. Furthermore, attendees can take advantage of specially discounted rooms in the hotel that PlugFest takes place in
UK - The leader of Dudley Council was "bowled over" with the life-changing opportunities being given to students at Resonance during a recent visit. Councillor Patrick Harley stopped by the higher education facility based within the DY5 Enterprise Zone at the Waterfront in Brierley Hill to find out how students will be working alongside global company Sports Technology (ST) at next year's Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Game
ST is the specialist major multi-sports division of Creative Technology (CT) and has been appointed official provider of large video screens and audio services. Alongside LED and PA systems in the majority of the venues, ST will provide a broad range of audio-visual services including a flexible signal distribution network in every venue, providing a fully integrated IP based solution for all non-broadcast audio, video and data distribution.
As part of its bid to provide services, the company had to demonstrate how it would give something back to the community and support a local organisation, in this case Resonance.
During his visit to Resonance, the leader met with some of the team from Creative Technology and Sports Technology who were delivering their first training and educational session to students.
Students were briefed on how the company will support and train them and given details on an ambitious work placement and internship programme, which could see them gain real life experience working within the technology disciplines at the Games.
Rick Benton, chief executive at Resonance observes, "Engaging

UK - The recruitment network for creatives and freelancers Curtain Call has re-launched an improved membership platform to help link up freelancers with employers - and PLASA members benefit from reduced subscription fees.
The network, which is free to join by freelancers, has a search and match algorithm that makes it easy for employers to find skilled available freelance technicians and creatives for project-based or long-term positions.
Businesses looking to recruit need to subscribe to search the database, with PLASA members able to get 15% off for 12 months by signing up through the Pioneers programme. For every PLASA member company that signs up, Curtain Call will donate £15 to #WeMakeEvents, and for every month of membership, the network will plant a tree. Early adopters include the Ambassador Theatre Group, Donmar Warehouse, Sonia Friedman Productions and White Light.
Peter Heath, managing director of PLASA, comments: "Curtain Call is a fantastic platform which brings employers together with skilled workers while also creating accessible pathways for newcomers into our industry. We couldn't be more pleased to bring this service to our members, particularly after the prolonged period of industry closure and loss of personnel to other sectors. This partnership will certainly help to connect up and regenerate our sector's workforce."
Matt Humphrey, founder of Curtain Call, adds: "We are thrilled to partner with PLASA and lau
UK - With 4,500 miles clocked up on the rental van and 350 engineers, end users, customers and rental companies seen in 29 days across 27 locations, the 2021 DiGiCo and KLANG roadshow has completed its run.
The DiGiCo team toured the UK with a DiGiCo Quantum 338, Quantum 225, SD12 and a KLANG Immersive Personal Monitor package, as well as showcasing the KLANG:vokal immersive processor and the new KLANG:kontroller. Stopping at various rental companies, venues and customers along the way, the team provided two three-hour sessions a day offering a closer look at the new consoles and refreshers on the SD-Range with the company's experts.
"When our world slowly started to come back, we began to get an increasing number of requests from engineers to pop into our HQ in Surrey for some refresher training, so we thought 'why don't we come to them instead?', which is how the idea of a Roadshow around the UK came about," says Tim Shaxson, technical sales manager at DiGiCo. "In addition to answering any questions engineers may have had on the SD-Range, it was also the perfect opportunity for us to show them the new Quantum consoles and to demonstrate and explain the benefits of the KLANG Immersive IEM system."
Strictly adhering to Covid policies, each session was limited to a maximum of 12 people, who all had to register in advance via a dedicated section on the DiGiCo website. Each informal event consisted of 45-minute 'show and tell' training on Quantum 338/225 and KLANG followed by a two-hour refresher on the SD-Range.

Europe - The debate over what LED system produces the best white is a difficult one to resolve. Is crisp brightness and power most important? Or the ability to create a variety of shades and deeper colours? In the end, it all depends on your needs.
Alistair Smyth and Frederik Afif on the 9 September Elation Coffee Break will scrutinize the Fuze Spot and Fuze Profile with framing, versatile LED moving heads with RGBMA colour mixing systems that can mix any shade of white a designer desires, or just as easily mix deep saturates or soft-field pastels.
The Fuze Spot and Fuze Profile's carefully tuned RGBMA LEDs and high CRI (92) ensure accurate color mixing and color rendering while delivering a powerful white output of over 10,000 lumens. Shades can be fine-tuned to match the environment in a variety of ways - virtual colour wheel, virtual color temperature, magenta/green adjustment or CMY emulation. Complete FX packages, including dual gobo wheels, make them ideal high-performance luminaires for use on any stage or studio.
The Elation Coffee Break on the Fuze Spot and Fuze Profile luminaires will air live on Thursday, 9 September at 11:00 a.m. CEST at facebook.com/ELATION.Pro.Europe/live. No registration is required.
The Elation Coffee Break is an online presentation series from Elation's European office in Kerkrade, the Netherlands that takes an up-close look at some of the company's most popular product series.
UK - Backup recognises the need to positively communicate with colleagues and to be aware of how they might be feeling and to ensure that they are not suffering alone, so this year's PLASA Show sees the charity launching a free Mental Health First Aider course sponsored by Unusual Rigging in memory of Alan Jacobi who was a long-serving and valued Backup Trustee.
"Alan was always concerned about the welfare of his colleagues, and it is wonderful that Unusual Rigging has sponsored this course in his memory," says Backup chair, John Simpson. "We are not good at asking for help or asking others if they need help. We want to change that."
In general, the role of a mental health first aider is to be a point of contact for anyone who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress. This interaction can range from having an initial conversation through to supporting the person to get appropriate help.
"Backup's remit is to support the welfare of our technical community and is here to help if colleagues are in a dark place whether because of mental health issues, hardship, injury or illness," John continues. "One of Backup's missions is to ensure that there will always be one trained mental health first aider crew member for every 20 crew, no matter what the event is or the size of the whole crew. We trust that venues, promoters and production companies will engage with this is and it becomes part of crew contracts."
Backup is partnering with fellow industry charity, Music Support which, as an MHFA England Instructor M
UK - The Lighting Programme, an opportunity for graduate lighting designers and technicians, has announced the participants of its 2021/22 edition.
The programme is run by SLX, a lighting and production company based in Bristol. It aims to foster young, upcoming talent within the industry - especially important in the post-Covid era, where many are struggling to recruit.
This year, five students were selected instead of the initial offer of four places, due to the exceptionally high standard of applications.
The five students all graduate next year, and will gain experience working a number of jobs at venues around the UK, the first of which is a fit-up inside the London Palladium. They will also be introduced by SLX to key industry figures at events such as PLASA/ABTT London, as well as having access to equipment for use on their course projects.
The five students selected this year are Alexander Hannah - Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, Jessica Brigham - Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Oliver McNally - The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Guy Knox-Holmes - Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Ciaran Lillis - Guildford School of Acting.
SLX CEO Alastair Currie commented: "The Lighting Programme is an excellent initiative for us to engage with students from a diverse range of backgrounds and colleges. I am delighted that we are in a position to offer this support to aspiring young people as they start their journey in our wonderful and creative industry.

USA - The Behind the Scenes Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Initiative has posted the Autumn schedule for online Mental Health First Aid training for entertainment industry workers in the US at btshelp.org/mhfa.
The Delta variant has now clouded the road map for the return to work and created additional stress and anxiety for those scheduled to resume work over the next few months, as well as those currently employed who are trying to cope with constantly changing safety protocols. Reports from around the industry show a rising level of concern for the mental wellbeing of industry workers, and individuals who have responsibility for others working with or under them are increasingly asking for training in how to provide support to those workers.
Mental Health First Aid takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems by teaching you how to recognize the signs and symptoms that suggest a potential mental health challenge, how to listen non-judgmentally and give reassurance to someone who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, and how to refer a person to appropriate professional support and services.
Whether you are in a supervisory position or simply want to be able to assist co-workers, this training will provide you with the skills you need. Post class evaluations continue to be extremely high with over 97% of respondents rating the class value as very high or high value and over 96% stating the training covered issues they have previously seen arise in their workplaces.
UK - TV lighting specialist Version 2 has launched a new Lighting for Radio podcast series that offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of some of the UK's leading TV & film lighting professionals.
Each episode will talk to some of the industry's leading lighting experts as they share first-hand experiences and lessons on how they reached the top of their profession.
Nick Edwards, managing director of Version 2 explains the concept of the podcast. "Born out of a lockdown idea, this behind the scenes podcast series will give listeners and I hope In particular students' ideas for their future career paths," he says.
Hosting every conversation is broadcaster Nia Visser, whose career credits include work as a radio presenter with the BBC and currently Jazz FM.

UK - Responding to post-pandemic staffing demands and a need for improved entry level training for crew, a collective of industry professionals established Event Crew Training and has released its first course - Event Crew Essentials.
Identifying that post-pandemic there would be a need to recruit a large volume of new and inexperienced crew and sharing a view that the existing training was not fit for purpose, the collective saw the period of stagnation created by COVID-19 as an opportunity to create an online portal that not only provides the required training but gives trainees knowledge that will enable them to feel comfortable in their new working environment.
The Event Crew Training portal is designed to be a benchmark for entry level crew and technicians looking to start a career in the events industry. Its initial offering covers a range of topics, including understanding stages, live event jargon, departmental load in and load outs, health and safety and manual handling, providing participants with the practical knowledge they require. This new-found awareness ensures essential elements are addressed, thus elevating the standard of health and safety in the workplace and enabling crew companies to meet legal compliance.
Event Crew Essentials takes approximately 90 minutes to complete and costs crewing companies £20 per access token. One token provides training for one member of crew.
The Event Crew Training team believes this training will establish 'an important foundation for the live events industry and hope th
India - Boutique audio enterprise, Audio Academy in Bangalore added the compact Audient ASP4816 mixing desk to its setup last year. The facility offers professional audio education programmes as well as providing commercial recording, music production, sound design and Foley services, and the compact mixing desk has settled in very well.
"We were looking for a console that would serve as both a teaching tool as well as a highly functioning mixer for professional studio bookings," explains studio manager Gautham Pattani. Part of a hybrid setup in the studio, the analogue desk's array of connectivity options means it can work easily with the outboard gear and send audio straight to their Pro Tools DAW.
"Our multi-monitor setup helps reveal every detail in the recording and mixing process. Dedicated hardware controllers, industry standard converters, high quality mic pres and a selection of microphones help us meet the demands of any project," he says, referring to the independent musicians, producers and sound artists he works with, as well as his students.
"The console serves as our main monitor controller for all aspects of production. A summing desk while mixing and a preamplification stage while multi-track recording." Aside from the fully-featured monitor control offered by the British desk, Gautham also enjoys the parametric EQs, bus compressor and its flexible routing capabilities.
The recording studio and adjacent spacious live room allow music production students to work on their commercial assignments. Each student is re

Do you know about the wild animal called african wild dog that lives in Africa and has a tabby pattern?
They are said to be the strongest canid in Africa with strong family bonds and high sociality. They are skilled hunters.
Such Lycaons have a history of persecution by humans and are sometimes called "dirty dogs" with an ignominious name.
Let's take a look at what characteristics and secrets african wild dogs have in this article!
~ Basic information. ~
Mammalia-Carnivora-Canidae-African wild dog genus.
Length:80~110cm weight:18~36kg.
The biggest feature of Lycaon is the tabby pattern consisting of black and brown, white colors that are different for each individual, as if painted with paint. Other features include the fact that the tip of the tail is always white, the ears are large and round, and the limbs are long.
African wild dogs live in packs called "packs" consisting of multiple pairs of males and females and their children. A pack of Lycaons has 6 to 20 members, but larger packs were once seen.
African wild dogs have a very strong family bond and are known to share food fairly among pack members. They also try to help their weakened comrades if they are injured or sick.
African wild dogs can reach sexual maturity at 1 to 1.5 years old and can breed, but basically only the most dominant male and female pair in the pack mate and breed. The gestation period is about 60 to 80 days, and they give birth to 2 to 16 (average 10) children at a time. The weight of newborn babies is about 300 to 500g, and child-rearing is done by members of the pack working together.
African wild dog's Q&A.
Where does the name african wild dog come from?
In fact, there are various names for African wild dogs. Besides "african wild dog", there are "african hunting dog", "african painted dog", etc. Some of them are called "lycaon". In Japan, it is often called "rikaon", so this time we will introduce the origin of "rikaon".
The origin of the name rikaon is said to be "Lycaon", a king who was transformed into a wolf after incurring the wrath of Zeus, the supreme god in Greek mythology.
By the way, the scientific name is written as "lycaon pictus", which means "colored wolf", and in Japan, it is sometimes called "haienainu" in addition to rikaons.
Why do african wild dogs live there?
African wild dogs live in grasslands and savannas south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.
I couldn't find a specific reason why african wild dogs live mainly in Africa. However, it may be related to the fact that large canids that compete with african wild dogs, such as hyenas and foxes, do not live in Africa.
Animals of the same canid family as african wild dogs (wolves, coyotes, and dholes) live all over the world and prey on large to medium-sized herbivores. As a carnivorous animal, african wild dogs prey on herbivores like wolves and coyotes and play a role in regulating herbivores in Africa so that they do not increase too much.
What do african wild dogs eat?
African wild dogs are carnivorous animals and mainly prey on medium-sized herbivores such as impalas, thomson's gazelles, reedbucks, and warthogs, but they also attack large herbivores such as gnus and zebras that are weakened by illness or injury. They also eat small animals such as rabbits, rodents, and birds.
African wild dogs have the stamina to run for long periods of time at speeds of 50 to 60 km/h and often use their stamina rather than speed to corner their prey. The success rate of hunting is very high, and it is said to be as high as 80% among the top savanna animals (by the way, the success rate of lion hunting is about 30%)
In zoos, they often eat horse meat, chicken meat, beef offal (liver and heart), dog food, etc.
Is it true that the hunting methods of african wild dogs are cruel?
Different people feel differently, but there are a certain number of people who find the hunting method of african wild dogs cruel.
Hunting for african wild dogs is basically carried out in herds. When hunting, teamwork is used, with the other members biting into the prey's tummy and pulling it down while one bites into the leg and stops moving. At this time, the prey is still alive, but the african wild dog begins to eat internal organs and meat regardless of that.
It is for the above reasons that the hunting method of african wild dogs is hated as cruel. However, it is believed that african wild dogs have a habit of preferring fresh meat and not eating rotten meat, and because their bodies are small and it is difficult to suppress their prey for a long time, they hunt and eat in this way.
It is said that animals that fall prey to african wild dogs die in a shorter time than when attacked by other carnivores, so the time to feel pain is surprisingly short. By the way, it seems that the average time it takes from the time a prey is caught to the time it dies is about 5 minutes.
Is it true that african wild dog sneezing has meaning?
It's true.
African wild dog is known to be an animal that sneezes a lot even compared to other animals. It used to be thought that african wild dog sneezed just to clear its nose like humans do. However, as observation and research progressed, it became clear that african wild dog's sneezing has a meaning similar to raising one's hand for humans.
When african wild dog wants to go hunting, it holds a meeting called "rally" with its pack to confirm the opinions of its members. And in the rally, it is said that they decide whether or not to go hunting based on the number of sneezes.
By the way, even if african wild dog with a high rank in the pack sneezes less, it is decided to go hunting. However, african wild dog with a low rank in the pack has to sneeze a lot.
This behavior has only been confirmed in african wild dog living in Botswana, and it is not known whether african wild dog living in other regions exhibit this behavior.
What is the difference between african wild dogs and hyenas?
African wild dog is a member of the dog family. It has long legs but has a dog-like body. However, there is one thing that is different from other canids. The number of fingers in canids is generally 5 in the front legs and 4 in the back legs, but african wild dog has no "dewclaw" on its front legs, which corresponds to the human thumb, and has only 4 fingers on both front and back legs.
Hyenas, on the other hand, are similar to dogs, but they are not actually members of the canine family. They are classified as "carnivorous hyenas" and are taxonomically closer to cats (especially older types of civets) than dogs.In addition, the body length is 86 ~ 150 cm and the weight is 50 ~ 90 kg, which is much larger than the african wild dog, and has a unique body that lowers the waist. Interestingly, however, the number of fingers on the forelimbs and hindlimbs of a hyena is four, just like the african wild dogs (only one species of hyena, the aardwolf, has five fingers on the front paws).
In other words, african wild dogs and hyenas are completely different animals categorically and visually, but they have the same number of fingers. It should be noted that the fewer fingers an animal has, the more suitable it is to run.
Can african wild dogs be kept as pets?
When breeding rare animals at home, it is necessary to follow the established laws in some countries. This time, we will introduce whether it is possible to breed african wild dogs at home in Japan.
African wild dogs are designated as "Specially Designated Animals" under Japan laws that may endanger human life and property. Since June 1, 2020, it has been completely prohibited to keep specific animals for pet purposes (keeping them as pets), so african wild dogs cannot be kept as pets in Japan.
Is there a place to see african wild dogs in Japan?
African wild dogs are an endangered animal with a very small population, but in fact, there are places where they are bred even in Japan.
As of 2021, African wild dogs are kept in two locations.Yokohama Zoo Zoolasia in Kanagawa Prefecture and Fuji Safari Park in Shizuoka Prefecture. At both facilities, you can observe how African wild dogs live in groups, so when you go to play, you can enjoy observing them closely.
What is the lifespan of a african wild dog?
The lifespan of african wild dogs is thought to be about 10~12 years in the wild.
However, there is little information about lifespan, and no records of lifespan in captivity have been found.
What enemies does african wild dogs have?
African wild dogs have almost no natural enemies, but they can sometimes be attacked by lions and hyenas. Children in particular are easily targeted by other carnivores, and are often attacked and eaten by lions, hyenas, and leopards.
But the biggest enemy of the african wild dogs is not lions or hyenas, but us humans.
African wild dog is a carnivorous animal, but it hardly attacks humans. However, because it sometimes attacks livestock, it has been persecuted by farmers for a long time and has been thoroughly exterminated. In addition, it is said that the entire pack was sometimes destroyed when infected with infectious diseases unique to canids such as "rabies" and "canine distemper" from pet dogs.
African wild dog is a feline animal that does not have a territory like lions and leopards and moves over a wide range in search of prey.
For african wild dog to survive, vast land is necessary, but Africa is generally being developed, and wildlife is being confined to protected areas and national parks.
These protected areas and national parks are not large enough for multiple packs of african wild dog to live, and this does not bode well for their future.
African wild dog was once believed to have had 500,000 individuals throughout Africa, but now there are only about 5,000. Although it is designated as an endangered species, there is a possibility that african wild dog will become a phantom animal if this continues.

Alimodian is a beautiful and quiet town packed with great natural and historical attractions. It features amazing sites, views and landscapes that are surprisingly diverse, with remote upland barangays, rice paddies, tumbling waterfalls and vegetable plantations.
Alimodian is a Third-Class municipality situated south-central of the province. It is 24.6 kilometers away from Iloilo City. The town is bounded in the north by the province of Antique; in the east by the towns of Maasin and Cabatuan, Iloilo; in the south by San Miguel, Iloilo and in the west by Leon, Iloilo. It has a total land area of 14, 480 hectares that is politically subdivided into 51 barangays.
Alimodian is populated by 34, 408 (2015 Census on Population) Alimodianons. Market day is every Tuesdays and Sundays. It annually celebrates its Religious Fiesta every 22nd of September in honour of St. Thomas of Villanova.
To get to Alimodian, one can take a jeepney or van at the ALEOSAN Transport Terminal at El 98 Street, Mandurriao, Iloilo City or at the ALEOSAN Transport Terminal in Barangay HIbao-an, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.
Derived from alimodia or alimodias, the old Hiligaynon name for Coix Lachyrma-Jobi, a grain-bearing tropical plant of the grass family found to be abundant in the area. The town is also nicknamed as the Banana Capital of Western Visayas.
Founded in in 1754 by Capitan Agustin Magtanong, Alimodian was formerly an arrabal of Ogtong (Oton). In August 20, 1756, Alimodian was officially separated from Ogtong.
ST. THOMAS OF VILLANOVA PARISH CHURCH is of Baroque architectural style. The first church was built sometime in 1700 was destroyed by an earthquake in July 13 1787. The present church was built on the same foundation with the old church. It was under the supervision of Father Florencio Martin in 1859.
The stones used in the construction of the church were taken in Camando (Leon). The belfry of the church was one of the tallest and the most beautiful in Panay and Negros during its time. It had seven bells and was said to give the loudest and most melodious sound. The convent was completed in 1868 and was just as big as the church though longer in length.
However, in April 16, 1942, it was looted and burned. A month after the church was also burned for fear that Japanese Imperial Forces will use the church as its hideout and storage center for their supplies. The 1948 Lady Kaykay earthquake rocked the church totally destroying its convent and about 2/3 of its belfry. It was then abandoned. It was in 1951 when the ruined church was renovated and opened for public worship in December 22 of the same year.
The stone church of Alimodian was completed in 1864 and was dedicated to Saint Thomas of Villanova, the town's patron saint. Fr. Florencio Martin, OSA was credited for building it while his successor, Fr. Ignacio Marcos, OSA, completed the stone and wooden convent in 1868. Its belfry was fitted with bells manufactured in 1876 by Juan Reyes in his foundry in Arevalo. The largest bell weighed 120 arrobas or 1,470 kilos where two pairs of bullcarts transported them from Arevalo to Alimodian. Both the church and the convent survived the earthquake of 20 June 1869 where a number of churchgoers got injured, and the tremor of 13 February 1882 where the image of Saint Augustine fell from its niche over the church's main entrance.
During the outbreak of World War II, the convent became the refuge of the Ysmael and Caram families who were friends of Fr. Mariano Perez, the parish priest at that time. Shortly after the invasion of Iloilo by the Japanese Imperial Army on 6 April 1942, fleeing residents looted the convent and set it on fire.
A month later, Filipino guerrillas under Col. Macario Peralta torched the church to prevent Japanese soldiers from turning it into a garrison. Its roof was restored in 1943 by Fr. Genaro Ramos following the surrender of the town to the Japanese. Five years later, the church collapsed to the ground during the 25 January 1948 Lady Caycay 8.2-magnitude earthquake that also toppled the Jaro bell tower and the Oton church.
AGONY HILL is a venue for Religious Pilgrimage especially during the Holy Week. Stations of the Cross are located along the trekking area where people can pause for a moment and pray. The concept of Agony Hill emerged from the combination of the human appreciation of nature`s beauty with the amazing landscape designed naturally by the hill`s rolling slope and topography.
SEVEN CITIES is composed the seven barangays or villages located in the upland hinterlands of the town of Alimodian and are linked to the Bucari mountain range of the town of Leon. It is composed of the barangays Cabacanan (Proper and Rizal), Dao, Lico, Manasa, Tabug and Umingan. It is called the "Little Baguio of Iloilo" because of its cool climate. They produce high yielding crops such as cauliflower, carrots, broccoli and even strawberries. It is also known for its lush vegetation, thick jungle forest, diverse wildlife and plants such as wild berries and fruits, caves, steep cliffs and boulders, waterfalls and rice terraces.
UMINGAN PLATEAU On top of barangay Umingan lays the green grass covering a wide range of the plateau which blends with the foggy atmosphere and freezing breeze. An aerial picture of the entire area beneath exactly describes how high a traveller has reached. At night, a panoramic scene appears to be stars blinking at night but it was on the ground. Such view, most perfectly describe how the night spots on the quivering and meddling City of Iloilo look like.
LICO WATERFALLS is almost hidden within barangay Lico, located near the thick forest, is a haven where a series of mini waterfalls can be found. Splashes of cool and refreshing waters flowing endlessly show the abundance of water poured by nature. A quick dip would often lead to a prolonged craving to dive the crystal clear waters for a more relaxing experience.
BATO DUNGOK IN AGUA COLOGNIA is within the rugged and forested terrain and on the highest area of Agua Colognia, Bato Dungok invites one to discover its amazing natural landscape with sculptured rocks in an artistic and exquisite manner.

When footprint 3D Models components are pushed from the Altium Designer ECAD domain to the MCAD domain using Altium Codesigner, they are transformed and converted for transfer. In some cases, a 3D model may have some features in the Model Topology that breaks this conversion process.
This can result in the model not transferring the 3D shape and only a flat geometry when loading into the MCAD domain. The accompanying message when loading into MCAD is, "Warning: Component type <model_name> model was not properly imported. Model's shape was replaced with a fallback geometry".
It will be necessary to fix the model and then re-add it to the footprint and update your board and perform the MCAD CoDesigner transfer again.
The following steps describe how to fix the 3D model in your ECAD tool. The easiest way is to save the file out in a Parasolid format.
Once the model has been repaired, try the transfer again using MCAD CoDesigner.

COVID-19: Rev. Kristilere Urges Churches to Prepare members for Heaven
The Senior Pastor of Shepherd hill Baptist Church, Obanikoro, Lagos, Rev. Israel Kristilere has described the coronavirus pandemic as a God-given wake-up call on the second coming of Jesus Christ. He said despite the several failed predictions of the end of the world in history the fact remains that Jesus Christ is coming back. The cleric made this statement in his lecture at the webinar Continuous Education Conference of the West African College for Missionary Bishops (WACOMBS).
Rev. Kristilere, in his lecture titled Focus on the second coming of Christ, the Lord of the Church, pointed that Jesus is coming back to judge the world and separate people from one another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He asked what it would profit people if they escape the coronavirus pandemic, but end their lives in hell fire. "It is like escaping a mud spray from a moving car only to jump into a drum of boiling water. If we are going to press forward after the pandemic, we must prepare our people for the second coming of Christ," he said.
The preacher admitted that the Church would lose some worshippers to the deadly pandemic, but would also gain more members. He explains: "The fact is that many of our churches had more worshippers/customers than members or disciples. The pandemic will do the sieving or separation for us. We must therefore not betray our caller by failing to prepare those he has committed to our hands for the purpose for which they were committed. Jesus is coming. Let us be prepared," he enjoined.
The preacher then the revelation that he said God gave to him about the COVID-19 pandemic. "One revelation the Lord has given to me concerning this pandemic is that genuine revival shall break out after this pandemic. This was the case after the Spanish flu. I believe this COVID-19 or Chinese flu will not be different. One scripture the Lord has constantly laid on my heart is Isaiah 14:1-7. God has promised to have mercy on our world and there will be restoration. But much more than this is the fact that, there will be revival. The pandemic is a revival preacher."
While he advised people to prepare to be part of the coming revival, kristilere said no military power or wealth has been able to stop the destructive global spread of COVID-19, which he described as a tiny member of the coronavirus family. He expressed confidence that God would stop the pandemic that has ravaged the world
"But God will stop it. The full human impact and economic cost might last for months, but it will come to an end. This pandemic has revealed how vulnerable human beings are and has also exposed our weaknesses and frailties. The heart of men will definitely be searching for genuine answers which can only be found in God and His word. We must not fail as God's servants. The importance of good leadership at such a time as this cannot be over emphasized. We must be on top of situations to be able to bring our members to the top. We must pray and seek God's face like never before to know what is next in line in His agenda for His World, His church and each of us in particular."
Rev. Kristilere assured the world that there is hope after the COVID-19 global scourge. "Definitely, there is hope for a tree when it is cut, it shall sprout again. (Job 14:7) There is hope for you after the pandemic. There is hope for the Church. There is hope for the world. Definitely, it can no longer be business as usual, but we must ride on the gains of this pandemic to reexamine, evaluate and reorder our priorities and activities. In life, there are three classes of men namely those who have no idea of what to do, those who have idea but not willing to pay the price of doing it and those who know what to do and are willing to pay the price. With the strength and power that God supplies, we shall press unto victory" he assured.

Members of Qaumi Kohistan Jirga rejected the Forest Ordinance 2002 and demanded 80% royalty on the sale of timber.
They warned the jirga would not accept the government's unilateral policy on forest cover in Kohistan. The speakers vowed to continue their agitation and resistance against the ordinance.
Addressing a news conference at Peshawar Press Club on Thursday, Hazrat Syed Gujr of Kohistan demanded that the government suspend the Forest Ordinance 2002 and devise a policy friendly to his region in consultation with locals. Khan Muhammad Roghani, Hazrat Bilal Kohistani, Malik Sher Azam Gujr, Khaista Muhammad Roghani, Bahadur Khan Afghani and Taj Muhammad, along with elders of Gujr tribe, were present at the press conference.
Syed Gujr added forest owners in Malakand Division were getting 80% royalty, but the same was only 60% for Kohistan. He said the government unlawfully seized forests and meadows owned by Kohistan residents and imposed the 2002 ordinance.
Syed Gujr said it was tantamount to exploiting the rights of the people of the district. He urged the provincial government to immediately withdraw the policy and increase royalty from 60% to 80%.
"Forest Ordinance 2002 is against the interests of Kohistanis. Under the order, 70% of our forests, meadows and valleys have been grabbed by the government. It deprives us of our livelihood," Syed Gujr said.
Khan Muhammad Roghani said through the ordinance, authorities imposed a ban on the cutting of forests and this was making it difficult to fulfil daily household needs such as firewood.
He added residents of Kohistan had united to protect their rights. "The government is bound by law to grant due rights to the people, but our government is snatching them. We will go to every extreme against the ordinance," he said.
He asked authorities to evaluate the gravity of the situation and immediately lift the ban. He echoed the demands of others that a policy should be evolved with the consultation of elders of the area.

Politicians Are Lying About The Swastika At Ottawa Palestine Rally
The image was taken by a former director of communications for Israel and spread by a pro-Israel lobby group to smear Palestinians.
The image was taken by a former director of communications for Israel and spread by a pro-Israel lobby group to smear Palestinians.
Israel lobby groups have used claims of 'rising antisemitism' based on shoddy data to try to ban pro-Palestine protests.
Israel has killed more than 3,100 Palestinian children since October 7, but many journalists have still not called for a ceasefire.
Media and political focus on Cafe Landwer is another attempt to equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism as a means to smear Palestinians.
A variety of Canadian columnists, editorial boards, panellists and hosts have called for and/or supported Israel's brutal actions.
Palestinians are constantly subjected to a level of scrutiny never applied to supporters of the civilian-slaughtering apartheid state.
Last week, I asked if Freeland is a fraud or a Nazi sympathizer. Yesterday, she offered an unconvincing response.
A true reckoning with the soft-on-Nazis approach that has become increasingly common in media and politics is long overdue.
"We know what the so-called root causes (of crime) are ... Poverty, lack of access to education, lack of access to a living wage and lack of access to justice."

Taking at least 2-3 times a week to analyze your website performance is crucial for SEO purposes, because Google SERP is a very competitive landscape contained with ranking beasts and SEO wizards who fight their way to get to the first page of Google, if Google finds any error within your page or sites they may likely start de-ranking your site keywords. This might not occur to you at an early stage until you have lost half of your search engine rankings. But if you do an SEO auditing on your page, it will give you further hints ahead to what is to come and what you are to do to prevent the consequences of what lies ahead.
Our website SEO score checker is one tool that is designed to help you get the possible best analytics for your website score, most tools on the internet wouldn't offer this for free they rather put it on a premium package, Well yes we also have a premium package but not withstanding there is no too much different from our free and paid plan, The difference is how many times you can use the tool, The free plan allows you to use our tools to analyze 5 difference URLs why the premium plans give you 10 chances to use the site in a 24hrs interval.
We're expanding the use of big SEO companies Saas, SEOmoz, Semrush, Ubbersuggest, and many others, we use their APIs to collect metrics for your results comparing the results with algorithms and bringing the possible best result to you. There are different factors we look out for when scanning your site but most especially your SEO, SPEED OPTIMIZATIONS, SERVER AND SECURITY, and other Required technologies and we will talk more about them below.
The main reason you are consulting a Website Audit is that you want to know the website SEO score checker for your site and to make that possible we will need to look through your site using our partner's API to fetch the overall SEO performance of your site in real time. The information provided to us will be compared in three undisclosed categories using our AI algorithm learning to see which one works best.
We do not just want to be any website SEO score checker out there that is why we came in with a different approach and a simple interface that is not going to bore your screen with mathematical expressions rather you will be presented with your SEO reports in detailed form. Giving you the insights of what is good on your site and what needs to be fixed.
Because speed is an essential part of website audit we also made it part of our report, our tool also looks through your website to find heavily loaded scripts and images that are causing slow loading of your website or scripts that are making your website not mobile/desktop friendly.
Google says if for a reason a customer leaves your site due to slow loading that same reason will make 10,000 of that type of customer leave, for that reason they make speed optimization a crucial factor when determining a page ranking, so it is important that you understand your website speed, so you don't work in vain.
The most common speed scripts that we have encountered based on our backend reports are Adsense scripts, page sizes, HTTP requests, and images. The best practice remains that you should always minimize the script you use within your web page to avoid slow loading, use lazy loading to serve images to your web visitors, and also use a minimum of 2-3 ad codes on your webpage, don't overload your website with AdSense because you want to earn more think of your visitors and think of Google.
Over 1 million among 100 million websites on the internet get server threat requests daily, that's why unknown hackers have hijacked big names and sites like 360nobs and many others, this pose is a result of server and security audits for their website, our website SEO score checker make sure that we look into details of how your server is doing and the security guiding it. if we find any issues we will quickly report to you so you and your team can quickly resolve them.
So the first thing we check when we visit your site is the SSL that is securing your site, in case you don't know the meaning - SSL stands for secure socket layer, it is a technology that was introduced to help information between website and browser secured using end to end encryption. It means hackers can't see the information your browser requested from your website http.
When there is no SSL certificate, penetrators can create a path hole called enemy bots, that stand between your website and your browser using HTTP injection the injection fetches information from your MSQL provider and sends it back to the penetrators, this information can be used to harm your website until now it is no longer possible due to the help of SSL certificate.
Other things we look at on your site are Mixed content, in a case where we observed that some parts of your site are secured with SSL why some parts are not secured such as images, internal links, and external linking, we will report it immediately so you can take action, such mixed content can make penetrators fetch information of your website request.
Server signature is another crucial step we look into because when a signature is "ON" it becomes a vulnerability for penetrators, they can simply know what software you are using to host your site, the version, and many others, this can cause a stair for an attack so to better be on the safer side we always recommend you turn it off.
In a situation where you have used Unsafe Cross-Origin Links in one way or the other you may not know such as using the target="blank" attribute to link to an external source we check for the rel="no opener" or rel="no-referrer" on those attributes if we don't find it we immediately report to you so you can fix that.
This can cause a malicious attack on your website when the aforementioned type of attribute does not include a rel="no opener" or rel="no-referrer", the other source you are linking to can see the window object for the linking domain which is yours and in other ways may interlink your page to a malicious bot attack, so always check to be safe.
HTTP2 Test is also very important when it comes to transporting information between browsers and preventing it from leaking to third parties if it is not enabled on your server this can cause a glitch for pen testing that might affect your website.
HSTS is another piece of information we look for to help you stay safe you must be using a strict transport protocol to force HTTPS on your webpage so the browser won't load some of your website content on http which is very bad for your website. This can be enabled from your server or contact your web host for them to enable force ssl for you.
Apart from the above mentioned, Our Website SEO score checker uses other advanced technology to analyze your website and fetch information about your website in real-time, such as the social media tags, structural datasets, sitemap availability, social media presence, webpage content lengths, Keywords usages and also long keywords usages.
We gather all this information to enable us to analyze your site and verify the information using our API partners, if after verification we affirm the rules, we will then present them to you on screen. at this time you can see how your site has performed so far and how you can solve the filtered errors, if you have solved the errors you can come back here and analyze your success so far.

Golden Khokhloma Factory, Semyonov
Golden Khokhloma Factory in Semyonov, Russia is an unassuming attraction which churns out the world's most recognizable wooden spoons and some of Russia's most popular souvenirs.
In the 17th century, regional artists began to embellish wooden spoons with unique paintings distinguished by lurid golden backdrops interlaced with colorful depictions of foliage, animals and mythical characters. Initially designed by former icon masters, the unmistakable painted patterns soon came to be known as Khokhoma, a reference to the village where the art form began. As Khokhloma spoons were sold along local trade routes, their ornate detail caught the eye of many and demand for the product soared, even reaching international fame at the turn of the 20th century. Yet in the coming years demand for the product began to decline, and were it not for the efforts of a group of Semyenov artists, this unique national art form may have died out altogether.
In order to keep the Khokhloma tradition alive, a school for artistic woodworkers opened in Semyonov in 1916 with the aim of training skilled artisans. In 1931, graduates from the school created an artel which in time developed into the Golden Khokhloma Factory, whose establishment allowed for the patenting and large-scale production of the national product. Today, Golden Khokhloma Factory (sometimes called Khokhloma Painting Factory) continues to produce Semyonov's famous spoons as well as decorative tableware, candlesticks, vases, toys and furniture, all of which are painted with bright and unusual Khokhloma designs.
On a visit to Golden Khokhloma Factory, you will be greeted by statues of Semyon Lozhkar, one of the region's original wooden spoon makers, and George Matveev, founder of the modern school of Khokhloma painting. The factory itself is permeated with the smell of wood and varnish, the sound of whirring machines and a cheerful conglomerate of bright colors and glittering gold. A tour of the factory includes a visit to the workshops where woodcutters and skilled artists are hard at work, giving you the unique opportunity to watch as spoons, stacked matryoshka dolls and other products are created. Learn little-known historical facts along the way and even interact with some of the skilled woodworkers and painters. While on the campus, be sure to visit the accompanying Golden Khokhloma Museum to admire the colorful displays of historic and modern Khokhloma products.
Those who wish to dig deeper into this unique Russian art form can time their visit to Golden Khokhloma Factory in Semyonov to coincide with the Golden Khokhloma International Festival of Folk Art Crafts, held annually on the second Saturday in June.

- The DevOps company JFrog announced Tuesday that it's acquiring the security startup Vdoo.
- Analysts say they expect more M&A in the DevOps space as competition heats up.
- These mergers benefit customers that prefer to buy into single platforms versus multiple tools.
On Tuesday, the $4.3 billion software management company JFrog announced plans to buy the security startup Vdoo for $300 million and analysts say it's the start of an incoming wave of consolidation in the DevOps industry.
DevOps, a term that combines "development" and "operations," aims to help companies secure, test, and release code faster. While DevOps tools were initially aimed at developers through open source software, companies have increasingly sprung up to focus on selling to the C-Suite.
And now that it has become a mainstream category, competition is heating up. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft are rolling out DevOps tools to challenge independent software vendors, while developer companies like GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian are building new capabilities or acquiring startups, too.
All of this will "continue to put pressure on niche players," according to Forrester principal analyst Charles Betz, because most customers would prefer to get all of their tools from one platform rather than buying from several different companies.
"There's so many darn tools and platforms and vendors that anytime there's consolidation in DevOps, the market sort of cheers," Jay Lyman, senior research analyst at S&P Global, told Insider. "It's one less decision I have to make. It's one less option I have to offer developers and DevOps teams."
Last year, XebiaLabs and CollabNet converged to form Digital.ai and Microsoft's GitHub acquired NPM. In May, ServiceNow announced it would acquire the monitoring company Lightstep and CircleCI acquired the release platform Vamp.
Analysts think the trend will continue:
"Certainly we expect there to be a fair amount of consolidation and acquisition activity," Thomas Murphy, senior director analyst at Gartner, told Insider. "Part of this is driven by companies and the need to grow. Part of this is that organizations need more complete solutions."
The SolarWinds breach also highlighted how too many siloed DevOps tools from different vendors can lead to greater security risks, since there are more avenues for hackers to attack your company, according to Forrester's Betz.
"If you really are that new organization trying to start a DevOps journey, why would you buy tools from five different vendors?" he said.
That's actually in part why JFrog — which went public last September — decided to acquire Vdoo: Right now, customers often have to choose between several security solutions, so JFrog wants to build a holistic solution that helps developers both secure and release their code during each stage of development, JFrog cofounder and CEO Shlomi Ben Haim said. He expects JFrog to acquire more companies in the future to help prevent major security hacks.
"This is a great opportunity to add 100 people to the company with the same DNA and the same vision," Ben Haim told Insider.
Gartner's Murphy also generally expects to see more mid-sized companies make acquisitions in AI-based analytics, cloud tooling, security, and cloud support to keep up with giant enterprises like Amazon and Google that can build similar functionalities: "Those to me are the places where any player in the market is going to need to make acquisitions, not just build things on their own."

Territorial Cup countdown: 5 biggest wins for each team
Arizona and ASU meet Saturday in the annual Territorial Cup game. It would be silly to say this latest meeting is as big as some previous -- but it's still the next installment in the heated rivalry.
Since the two teams joined the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) in 1978, they produced some memorable games. Here are the top five victories for each team.
The Wildcats are up first, by virtue of the advantage in the all-time series, 48-39-1, and in the Pac-10/12 era, 20-16-1.
1. 1986 -- Arizona 34, ASU 17. The Wildcats hand the Rose Bowl-bound Sun Devils their only defeat, thanks to Chuck Cecil's 100-yard INT return and James DeBow's goal-line tackle of Channing Williams.
2. 2014 -- Arizona 42, ASU 35. Rich Rodriguez gets his first win over Todd Graham to give Arizona the Pac-12 South title. Nick Wilson runs for 178 yards and three TDs.
3. 1985 -- Arizona 16, ASU 13. John Cooper refuses to play for a tie that would have sent ASU to its first Rose Bowl, and Max Zendejas kicks 32-yard game-winner following an ASU turnover. Zendejas earlier nailed 57-yarder as Wildcats overcame a 13-3 deficit.
4. 1982 -- Arizona 28, ASU 18. Arizona returns to the locker room for white uniforms after both teams show up in dark jerseys and shocks the sixth-ranked Sun Devils to knock them out of the Rose Bowl.
5. 1998 -- Arizona 50, ASU 42. Trung Canidate's 288 rushing yards trumps Ryan Kealy's 511-passing yards as Arizona wraps up an 11-1 regular season.
1. 1996 -- ASU 56, Arizona 14. Jake Plummer, Keith Poole and Terry Battle star as the Rose Bowl-bound and No. 2-ranked Sun Devils wrap up unbeaten regular season.
2. 2010 -- ASU 30, Arizona 29 (2-OT). James Brooks blocks at Alex Zendejas extra-point attempt to force overtime, and then blocks another one to give ASU the victory.
3. 2012 -- ASU 41, Arizona 34. Marion Grice runs for three TDs and ASU erupts for 24 fourth-quarter points with help of two turnovers and a blocked punt in first meeting between Todd Graham and Rich Rodriguez.
4. 1992 -- ASU 7, Arizona 6. Fourth-string tailback Kevin Galbreath breaks loose for 51-yard, fourth-quarter run against vaunted "Desert Swarm" defense for game's only TD.
5. 1991 -- ASU 37, Arizona 14. Eric Guliford scores two TDs as ASU convincingly ends "The Streak" at nine in Larry Marmie's final game as head coach. He was fired days later.
