Sharps bedroom furniture ideas
Sharps' range of fitted furniture is designed to cater for any size or space. In fact, only two of its designs can't be cut to fit an awkwardly shaped space.
It has four main wardrobe collections:
- Essence: this classic collection has the widest range of wardrobes, available in eight finishes in muted colours or wood effect.
- Signature: more modern furniture, available in four styles.
- Three real wood ranges
- Sliding door wardrobes
It also offers walk-in wardrobe designs, as well as open wardrobes.
Sharps' products and installation have a 12-year guarantee, where most other companies offer 10 years. Its products are all made in the UK, and it is responsible for the entire process, from design to installation.
Flick through the image gallery below for a selection of Sharps' fitted wardrobes and matching furniture. Read on for more on what it offers.

Sharps fitted wardrobe doors
Sharps' Essence, Signature and real wood ranges use hinged doors. All of these doors and its drawers come with soft-close hinges as standard.
If you're after sliding doors, you can have between one and five doors in a mix of colours and styles, using one of nine different configurations. Its sliding doors can be mirrored, painted (in a pale colour, graphite or slate grey), wood effect or glazed.
The doors are made to measure, and are weighted and adjusted during the fitting process to make sure they run smoothly.
Its walk-in wardrobes can be left open, or can have hinged or sliding doors in eight finishes.
Sharps fitted wardrobe storage space
Sharps uses a front-frame system for all its wardrobes. This means the wardrobes don't come with sides, backs or tops, instead using the shape of your room to from wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling.
John Lewis and Hammonds also offer front-frame constructions, but both also sell a premium version with tops, sides and backs.
Inside your wardrobes, Sharps has an extensive range of handy storage solutions. These include: corner wardrobes; pull-down and pull-out rails; pull-out shoe, trouser and tie racks; tie drawers; pull-out mirrors; pigeon-hole shelves; hanging boot rails and jewellery drawers.
All of its designs can have lighting built into the wardrobes. Its 'glamour unit' is designed to store cosmetics and can have lighting and a mirror built in.
Sharps fitted furniture design service
To start planning your fitted furniture with Sharps, you'll need to book a free design appointment. The designer will come to your home with samples so that you can start to plan your wardrobe configuration and style.
Unlike any of the other companies we've reviewed, the Sharps' designer will hand-draw your design, rather than creating a 3D design. This will come once you have placed your order and a surveyor has visited to confirm the designs.
Online planning tool?
Sharps doesn't have an online planning tool – you'll need to book a free design appointment to talk through your ideas and see them visualised as sketches. For inspiration, you can order a print or digital version of its brochure, or visit one of its many UK showrooms.
The Sharps website has a number of inspiration galleries, as well as real customers' designs featuring before and after pictures.
Time from order to delivery
Sharps doesn't give an average time for delivery from order. But when we asked its customers, the average was around one month and three weeks, which is similar to the other companies we've reviewed.
To avoid delays, its team promises to deliver everything needed for the installation before the day itself.
Sharps fitted furniture installation serviceSharps has a fully bespoke service, so you'll need to have your furniture designed, cut and installed by its team.
Sharps types of fitted furniture
As well as wardrobes, Sharps offers a range of additional fitted storage, including benches and overhead storage. It will also design children's bedroom storage, and has a Flexispace range that allows you to alter the heights of hanging rails and shelves as your child grows.
Sharps also has a fitted office furniture service – where its designs can match some of its wardrobes. It can also design storage for awkward spaces, such as hallways and landings, under stairs, bay windows and alcoves.

Sounds like you have some errors in your child theme function.php
@weaver may be able to help.August 13, 2019 at 18:20 UTC - Views: 10 #61312WeaverKeymaster
We really can't support errors in PHP code in child themes, which this is as clearly listed in your notification. The error apparently involves some kind of attempt to interface to a product plugin to show product thumbnails. There is some error in the PHP code.

Giant mural celebrated in art talk
A much loved community mural created over thirty years ago will feature in a presentation in Alice Springs tonight
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
A mural depicting the history of Alice Springs will feature in writer Kieran Finnane's The Fertile Space Between Us, the second of two presentations looking at the intersection of European and Indigenous culture in the outback town.
Ms Finnane says the mural, on the western wall of the Coles supermarket in Alice Springs, represents a positive vision of two cultures creating a future together.
"The Coles mural pretty much stands alone in expressing such a strong vision of the future as a bicultural future, that it is an Aboriginal and white future to make," she says.
"The major figures of the mural are the Aboriginal stockmen at one end on the horse...and then there's also the Namatjira figure seated on the ground.
"Then in the other section...the major figure is the Aboriginal man underneath the flag with a whitefella alongside him, the sheer scale of it and the boldness of the imagery...there's nothing else like it."
The work was instigated in 1981 following community concern about the enormous bleak wall that formed part of the newly built Coles complex.
Jonah Jones, the founder of the Araluen Art Gallery in Alice Springs, was an advocate for community art and secured funding for the mural from the supermarket chain itself.
The end result features a range of historical figures relevant to central Australia including Aboriginal artist Albert Namatjira, explorer John McDouall Stuart and Afghan pioneers.
Local artists Kaye and Bob Kessing spearheaded the project after being approached by Mr Jones.
"We very much wanted the community involved seeing as they were going to have to look at it for the rest of their lives," says Ms Kessing.
Five designs were offered up to the public, including a bush tucker theme, a history of transport, and a tongue-in-cheek seaside scene.
"We stood at the front of the new supermarket for two months accosting anyone and everyone who went in and getting them to vote on those options and also asking for other suggestions and the history of Alice Springs was the one that won out."
The artists then spoke to local Alice Springs stalwarts including Ted Egan, Dick Kimber and the late Ted Hayes of Undoolya Station to get a sense of what local history should be included.
"Ted was very adamant about [depicting] the pulling of water in the early days," says Ms Kessing.
"He said there were hardly any windmills back in the day and initially the water was pulled by a whip from the wells, usually by camels..."
An estimated 200 volunteers took part in the mural's creation, including school children - some more independently than others.
"There was a hedge opposite the mural and the kids used to hide in that hedge during the day and not go to school," says Bob Kessing.
"When we were painting they came out in force and I think within two weeks the lower section was finished!"
"I was initially surprised that it wasn't graffitied," adds Kaye.
"One time kids broke into Coles and pinched some spray packs, but they did things like going over Albert Namatjira's shirt folds and didn't actually cut across any of the images."
"They didn't want to deface it," adds Bob.
Both of the artists say their positive experiences in Alice Springs helped inform the tone of the work.
"Bob knew a lot of the people who were born and bred here, the old bushies...it was a positive life and it was culturally mixed in a really positive and enriching way," says Ms Kessing.
Kieran Finnane's The Fertile Space Between Us: Part 2 will feature five other works on the theme of intersection and collaboration between Indigenous and other Australians in Alice Springs.
They include projects by Fiona Walsh, Mike Gillam, Micha Bartlett, Doris Stuart, Dan Murphy, Lucy Stewart, Craig San Roque and Anne Mosey

Government says it will soon employ 400 extension workers, in an effort to close the widening ratio between farmers and extension workers in the country. The Director of Department of Agricultural Extension Services (DAES), Jerome Nkhoma said that Government has already made a number of steps to address this situation.
"At the moment, the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources will be graduating close to 400 extension workers. Soon after graduation, they will be deployed as officers in different districts in the country. This is just the first step," he said.
The Deputy General Representative of the Government of Flanders, Nikolas Bosscher, said the current extension workers in Malawi already have their hands full, working with new farmers each agricultural season, hence the need for more extension workers. "The ratio of the farmer to the extension worker is between 2, 000 to 3, 000. So, that's quite a lot of work for one extension worker. So, there is a big gap. So, the idea is how we can close that gap through the use of new innovations such as radio, video, Whatsapp groups, etc," he said.

Boris Johnson's election campaign has been littered with accusations of racism, sexism and fake news.
Comments made by the Prime Minister in columns during his time as editor of The Spectator have been unearthed – revealing derogatory remarks made about single mothers, Nigerians and women who wear burkas.
Some voters have even complained to the Electoral Commission about the Tory campaign after it emerged postal voters had received 'begging letters' from Boris Johnson along with their ballot packs.
Some receiving the letters said they found the tactic "troubling".
Now, the Labour Party have compiled a list of questions for Boris Johnson to answer – including everything from his NHS pledges, Johnson's relationship with American businesswoman Jenifer Arcuri and exactly where is Jacob Rees-Mogg ?
Here is the full list of questions Boris must answer before voters head to the polls:
On his sexism:
On his racism:
On his other offensive comments:
On his Ministers:
On the NHS:
On Jennifer Arcuri:

About me and my therapy practice
I offer short and long-term counselling & psychotherapy with a therapeutic approach recognised as Transpersonal Psychotherapy. Transpersonal psychotherapy differs from clinical mind-centred therapies and is a powerful therapeutic approach that works with what we all possess; a mind, a body and a soul (or spirit), i.e. our "Psychology".
Transpersonal Psychotherapy is a humanistic 'you-centred' approach and values equally all aspects of our 'being'. Unlike most forms of psychotherapy that concentrate on improving mental health alone; transpersonal psychotherapy takes an equally thorough, yet more holistic approach in that it considers a much wider scope of mental, physical, spiritual, social, emotional, creative and intellectual needs; in equal merit, in order to support a client to reach a place of wholeness, balance, self-empowerment and individuation. Client work is an exploration of the ego-mind-body-soul dynamics and their influence on mental, emotional, physical and relational health and functioning.
All aspects of 'self' need to be recognised explored and worked with if we are to heal deep issues and embrace who we are. Such an approach may also consider existential implications such as the meaning and purpose of one's existence, how societal conditions and pressures such as eco-anxiety, climate distress and expectations surrounding gender imposed stereotyping of roles, duties and obligations may affect one's overall wellbeing.
Working collaboratively, we talk about what's happening in your life and any changes you might want to make in order to heal and expand the quality of your consciousness and 'being'; what might need to happen for you to feel more empowered to do this and ways to support and promote your ongoing emotional and holistic health and well-being.

Time to trade: New regulations are making the markets safer
Markets in the Philippines have been performing well for a number of years. The country's benchmark stock index was up 63% in 2009, 38% in 2010, 4% in 2011 and 33% in 2012. Among Asian equity markets, the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) was the second best performer in 2012 ( just behind Thailand, with a 35.8% gain). It hit 38 all-time records that year, broke 6000 for the first time in January 2013, 6500 in February and 7000 in April. Philippine stocks have very much left their past behind them, having broken through highs set in both 1997 and 2007.
THE NEXT STEPS: The challenge now is to build on this strong foundation, further developing the systems, institutions and regulations that will guarantee the market's continued success going forward. "Basic elements of a stock exchange should have been in place for years; now we are getting it done," Mark Visda, head of the corporate planning and research department at the PSE, told OBG.
It is vitally important for the Philippines to have markets and institutions that follow best practice. With international investors increasingly wary and competition coming in as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) forms, the country will face considerable challenges for a number of years; capital flows are expected to remain volatile and regional banks and securities companies may begin to become more active locally as barriers drop. Some analysts believe that the Philippines, given its balanced growth and the relative dearth of economic bubbles, is one of the best-positioned countries in the region to weather the possible flight of hot money.
Nevertheless, the country is being tested and the current state and future development of its markets infrastructure and regulations are vital if it is going to be resilient to inevitable shocks. The PSE index fell 22% from its May 2013 high as foreigners began to retreat from the emerging markets following indications of higher growth and higher interest rates in the US, and more pressure to this end is expected.
HISTORY: The PSE was established in 1992 from the merger of the Manila Stock Exchange (founded 1927) and the Makati Stock Exchange (founded 1963). The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was established in 1936 and has a broad remit. It is not only in charge of preventing fraud and manipulation in the market, but it also oversees a wide variety of related laws and decrees, including the Corporation Code, the Partnership Law, the Investment Company Act and the Foreign Investments Act.
The Commonwealth Act 83, which created the SEC, was replaced in 1983 with the Revised Securities Act, which called for more detailed disclosure. Considerable reform has also been undertaken at the exchange. The PSE was made self-regulatory in 1998, five independent directors were added in 2001 under Republic Act (RA) 8799, and it was listed in 2003. A trading system from NYSE Euronext Technology was introduced in 2010, replacing a system in use since 1993 (MakTrade). The new NSC V900 platform is 10 times faster than the old system and highly scalable.
The market trades T+3 for equities (and T+0 to T+2 for other securities) and has two depositories. The Philippine Depository & Trust Corporation (PDTC) handles equities traded on the PSE and bonds traded on the Fixed Income Exchange, an electronic platform created in 2005. The Bureau of the Treasury acts as depository for government securities. The country has a real-time gross settlement system called PhilPaSS, which was introduced in 2002 and is based on the model at the European Central Bank. It utilises SWIFT formats and is said to be highly efficient, though according to HSBC, payments from custodian banks to their counterparties are still handled by cheque. The Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines acts as a central counterparty and the market is primarily scripless, with shares immobilised at PDTC. Government bonds are dematerialised.
SMALL BUT GROWING: The Philippines has one of the smallest markets in the region. Capitalisation was about $231bn at the end of June 2013, according to the World Federation of Exchanges. That compares with capitalisations of $400bn in Thailand, $478bn in Indonesia, $490bn in Malaysia and $752bn in Singapore. In terms of the market's make up, the PSE has 253 listed companies, compared with Indonesia's 472, Thailand's 569 and Malaysia's 909. The situation is much the same in the bond market. According to Asia Bonds Online, the Philippines had $85.18bn of government bonds outstanding as of March 2013 and $13.04bn of corporate bonds, for a total of $98.22bn. That compares with Indonesia's $118.62bn, Thailand's $294.45bn and Malaysia's $321.94bn.
SIZE DOESN'T MATTER: Despite their small size, markets in the Philippines are quickly growing. In 2012, a record P219.07bn ($5.27bn) in capital was raised on the PSE, up from P107.50bn ($2.59bn) in 2011. Five companies went public, selling P24bn ($578m) in stock. The new listings comprised D&L Industries, GT Capital Holdings, East West Banking, Calata Corp and Coal Asia Holdings. Two companies – Rockwell Land and Yehey! – were listed via introduction, and a total P195bn ($4.7bn) was raised via private placements (P50.38bn, or $1.2bn), stock rights offerings (P52.07bn, or $1.25bn) and follow-on offerings (P92.64bn, or $2.23bn). Total capital of all PSE-listed firms ended the year up 25.7% from 2011.
Initial public offering (IPO) activity, however, started to stall in 2013 due to concerns about the state of the global markets. Robinsons Retail Group, which has 35 department stores and 71 supermarkets in the country, launched its IPO in mid-October with shares priced toward the lower end of its range, given market conditions. Despite this, the IPO was oversubscribed and expected to earn $650m, making it the country's largest-ever IPO. Earlier in the year, Travellers International Hotel Group delayed its IPO from its original July 19 target to October, where it priced its shares lower than initially expected and was oversubscribed. The money will be used for the expansion of Resorts World Manila, an integrated tourism complex near Terminal 3 of Ninoy Aquino International Airport that offers gaming. Also in July, Harbour Star Shipping Services, a tugboat operator, decided to delay its IPO. Its offer was instead listed in October at a discounted price. All told, 2013 has been a record year for IPOs, with $1.35bn raised as of late October.
INVESTOR INTEREST: As the market expands, the investor base is also widening. In 2012 the number of retail accounts grew 5.9% to 506,761, according to the PSE, with active accounts rising 9.8% to 163,807 (while the number of institutional accounts fell 28.5% to 19,089). Of the retail investors, 75.4% were in Manila. The number of online stock investors rose 48% in 2012, with 86% of those accounts active. However, trade via online platforms was only 6.7% of total turnover (minus block trades).
Inclusiveness in the stock market is a concern for the government and the exchange. Participation, at less than 1% of the total population, is seen as far too low, and the hope is to increase the number of retail investors to promote more healthy and liquid trading. In early 2013, the PSE introduced PSET radex, a platform that can be onsold by brokers to clients so they can trade shares, monitor their accounts and access information on companies.
OWNERSHIP LIMITS: The market is relatively open to foreign investment, but the country does restrict equity ownership in certain areas. A number of industries are totally closed, including mass media, small retail, fishing in the country's territorial waters or the exclusive economic zones and small-scale mining. Other sectors have foreign investment limits ranging from 20% to 40%, including everything from advertising to utilities. A 60% limit is placed on SEC-regulated investment companies and investment houses. Another list limits foreign investment to 40% in companies associated with the defence industry, that are very small, or that are in businesses that are sensitive, in terms of public morals, such as gaming.
Foreign ownership limits have created some controversy in recent years, and the issue is not yet completely settled. In 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that the shareholding structure of Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) violated the prohibition on foreigners owning more than 40% of a utility, a limit which is in the country's 1987 constitution. It was claimed in the suit that as much as 81% of PLDT's shares were held by non-Filipinos following the sale of company stock in 2007 to Hong Kong's First Pacific Group. To work around the limits and to make their structure constitutional, the company sold 150m voting preferred shares to a trust that it 99% owns. This solution may not hold, however. It is now being argued that since PLDT is itself foreign controlled, the trust is also a foreign entity and thus does not dilute the non-Filipino shareholding percentage.
FOREIGN ACTIVITY: Foreign brokers are particularly active on the exchange. According to the PSE, they dominated in 2012, when the top 10 brokers were Deutsche Regis Partners, UBS Securities Philippines, CLSA Philippines, Maybank ATR Kim Eng Securities, Macquarie Capital Securities, Philippine Equity Partners, COL Financial Group, DBP-DAIWA Securities, SMBC Philippines, JP Morgan Securities Philippines and SB Equities. Of these, Philippine Equity Partners, COL Financial Group and SB Equities are local.
In the first six months of 2013, the top five brokers were UBS (with 12.81% of the trading), Deutsche (12.09%), CLSA (8.13%), Maybank (7.78%) and Macquarie (6.38%). UBS was also the number one underwriter in the first half of 2013, with a full 62% of the business. Foreign buying was also strong. In 2012, non-Filipinos purchased P109.9bn ($2.6bn) worth of local shares, up from P56.52bn ($1.36bn) in 2011. And foreign investors have been active traders. In early 2013, they accounted for 49% of the turnover on the PSE.
KEY REFORMS: Many of the improvements being undertaken at the exchange and by the regulators centre around compliance, transparency and inclusiveness. This is in line with current trends; under President Benigno Aquino III, the emphasis in the Philippines has been on achieving greater openness and addressing institutional weaknesses, and the PSE and the SEC have been focused on relevant reforms.
To those ends, the Capital Markets Integrity Corporation (CMIC) was provisionally formed in 2011 and then made operational as a self-regulatory organisation in 2012. It took over the responsibilities of the PSE's market regulation division and is tasked with being the independent audit, compliance and surveillance arm of the exchange. In early 2012 the CMIC introduced the Total Market Surveillance (TMS) system, which tracks activity in the market and works to detect unusual trading. It can handle 1m transactions per day and utilises advanced software technology. The system was built in cooperation with the Korea Exchange, which also assisted in the development another system. The PSE Electronic Disclosure Generation Technology allows corporate announcements and other related listed-company information to be accessed and integrated real-time into existing electronic platforms. The old Online Disclosure System delivered PDF documents, which needed to be manually stripped of data that can then be input for publication or analytical work.
The CMIC's counterpart at the SEC is the Investor Protection and Surveillance Department, which monitors the market on a daily basis, receives anonymous tips and gathers information about any alleged violations from the CMIC. In the spirit of promoting transparency and fairness, the SEC has been using its powers – which extend undertaking to criminal prosecutions – to make the markets more efficient and equitable. At the end of 2012, for example, the commission announced that it was conducting nine investigations, six of which involved market manipulation while the other three were insider trading.
The SEC is even seeking to expand its powers. In April 2013, SEC chairwoman Teresita Herbosa said that a proposed amendment to the Securities Regulation Code is the "disgorgement of profits". Anyone found to have gained from illegal or unethical activities will be required to pay back those profits plus interest.
ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES: Under RA 8799, or the Securities Regulation Code, a long list of activities are prohibited, including: "painting the tape", which involves making transactions to create the appearance that there is price movement in a stock; "marking the close", which is making trades at the end of the day to influence a stock's closing price; collusion between the buyer and the seller to match prices; artificially pumping up prices and then selling into the rising market; sales in which there is no real change in ownership; disseminating false information; and taking advantage of a shortage of securities.
The 1999 BW Resources scandal, which involved an 18,000% increase in the stock price of the company, was never successfully prosecuted; it took a decade to get a judgment and the defendant had fled the country before he could be charged. But times have changed and newer cases may be more successful. When the shares of Calata, an agricultural input supplier, were listed in May 2012, the price rose from P7 ($0.17) to almost P24 ($0.58) and then back to P8 ($0.19) in the span of less than three weeks. By that time, the TMS was up and running and the CMIC announced that it found clear evidence of manipulation. In late 2012 the SEC sued 13 individuals for the manipulation of Calata stock shares.
Additionally, the first and only criminal conviction so far under Securities Regulation Code was achieved in early 2013. The Regional Trial Court of Makati City ruled against Francisco Borromeo, the former head of a local brokerage house, for seven violations of RA 8799. He was convicted of selling client shares without their consent, buying shares with dummy accounts and of failure to deliver the proceeds of the sale of client shares. As a result of the conviction, Borromeo was fined some P2.1m ($50,600).
MORE EFFICIENT: Aside from battling securities violations, the exchange and the SEC have been implementing a number of reforms in recent years to make the market more efficient and more promising for investors. At the beginning of 2012, the Amended Rule on Minimum Public Ownership became effective, requiring all listed companies to maintain at least a 10% public float (which includes individuals with less than 10% of the total shares, mutual funds, the social security fund and pension funds, but excluding Treasury shares). The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has noted that public shares traded in listed companies enjoy preferential tax rates and that this is not fair if the company is not truly public.
In July 2013, the SEC approved Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) rules with the expectation of allowing these vehicles on the PSE by the end of the year. The first two sections (A and B) on listing and disclosure were approved in March. Part C, which covers market making, was settled in July. The exchange hopes that the introduction of ETFs will offer investors more opportunities. To this end, the PSE has been actively working to educate the public about them, running seminars and conferences and providing incentives to encourage the trading of the instruments, such as waiving transaction fees for market makers when they handle ETF transactions. The ETF rules seek to achieve a high level of transparency and investor protection and follow the International Organisation of Securities Commissions guidelines on ETF regulation. ETFs in the Philippines will need minimum paid-up capital of P250m ($6m) and a public float of 10%, but the lock-up periods and track records required for normal IPOs will not apply (though fund managers should have two years experience).
REITS: Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have also been promoted, but with little success. The REIT Act, passed in late 2009 and implemented in July 2011, established a framework for these investment vehicles. REITs in the Philippines are required to distribute 90% of their income as dividends, have paid up capital of P500m ($12m) and have at least one-third of their shares in public hands. They are allowed to invest in Philippine real estate, income-generating foreign real estate, debt securities and listed shares, cash and government bonds, and they benefit from a number of tax breaks.
However, REITs have so far not been very popular; none were launched as of mid-2013. Despite tax incentives, such as a special 1% withholding tax rate, potential issuers see the burden as still too high. They cite the fact that a REIT has to pay a 12% value-added tax (VAT) on asset transfers and 30% corporate income tax, along with the fact that the public shareholding must reach two-thirds over a three-year period.
The sector is trying to convince the BIR that eliminating certain taxes on REITs would be in the best interest of everyone, arguing that the establishment of REITs would generate considerable economic activity, and because of that they should be VAT exempt. The authorities, however, see potential for abuse if groups with small public floats are allowed to make investments without paying the tax.
OUTLOOK: Despite some dips caused by exogenous factors, 2013 has been a good year for the PSE, and efforts to expand the investor base and the instruments on offer should support continued expansion.

Defender Kelli Hubly has signed with Portland Thorns FC, the club announced Friday.
Hubly originally signed as a national team replacement player when forward Hayley Raso was away with Australia on international duty.
Hubly has played 90 minutes in all four Thorns game so far this season, stepping in on a backline that has been missing Emily Menges (right tibia stress syndrome) this season. Hubly leads the league in blocks with five and is fifth in the league in interceptions (14) and tackles (16).
"Kelli has been an important piece to our positive start," Thorns FC head coach Mark Parsons said in a team news release. "She has put in the work and has continued to grow and improve during her time here. She has earned this opportunity and we are excited to be able to reward her."
Hubly made two substitute appearances for the Thorns last season.

I got talking to Rob about Blade Runner and he suggested I see this as another example of Sean Young's efforts in the 1980s. It also features Gene Hackman and a young Costner, both of whom are bigger than the movie. It's not bad, and very 1980s — I don't doubt that it was IMAN's acting in this that won her David Bowie's heart. The tension ramps up, sometimes implausibly and clunkily, but nevertheless resolutely, until it is abruptly terminated by a non-sequitur of an ending.

Detecting Enterprise Security Threats And Unusual Behavior With SIEM
The Continuous Collection, Analysis And Reporting Of Security And Operational Information
Organizations are widely adopting IT solutions that digitize and connect data. This connectivity has created efficiencies within business operations and a new level of risk to be managed.
The traditional security perimeter of an organization's campus considered endpoints, such as servers, PCs and laptop computers. With mobile devices, the perimeter extended further. These boundaries have become even less clear with the adoption of cloud services. The deployment of IoT adds thousands to hundreds of thousands of endpoints further complicating the security process.
The large volume of exposed endpoint devices has been met with high levels of enterprise spend to minimize the potential vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, this had the side effect of creating a hyper-focus on containing unauthorized access and data breach incidents in the present.
At the same time, cyber threats are continuing to become more sophisticated. A large volume of security alerts and event notifications within the organization create a need for robust and efficient security-based solutions.
See Related: Developing A Culture Of Enterprise Cyber Security Resilience
Right-sizing The SIEM Platform For The Enterprise Need
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform is an enterprise cyber security tool used by businesses. Industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan encourages organizations with 300 or more endpoints to use a SIEM to detect security threats, malware, unusual behavior and suspicious network traffic.
A SIEM platform supports the continuous collection, standardization, correlation, analysis, and reporting of security and operational information. For SIEM tools to be effective says Frost & Sullivan, they need policies and regulatory processes, transforming logs into intelligence and mixing with other forms of information (vulnerabilities assessments, threat intelligence, etc.).
"Implementing mismatched security products and making them work with your other systems is a challenge, especially when you have limited budgets," noted former Herman Miller CISO Chris Wolski during the CISO Exchange West conference, "until something happens. That's when the blank check shows up."
Wolski also discussed the importance of making everything seamless to your information security professionals so that your least common denominator — such as a help desk technician — can understand the information and act on it.
"I have a 24x7 help desk but not a 24x7 SOC. That is orchestration," Wolski said. "It's not just about technological capabilities and automation but having processes in place that make it work." For Wolski, the key is having a SIEM to bring information and events together and allowing his help desk to respond more quickly.

SIEM Market Drivers
According to industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, the continued proliferation of SIEM platforms can be distilled to five market drivers:
- Improved usability: SIEM solutions assemble the security logs for human analysis and escalating any events. Platform training remains necessary for adapting SIEM to new threats.
- Additional security intelligence integration: As new threat vectors are introduced, SIEM must adapt and integrate with threat intelligence and forensic analysis tools
- New compliance regulations: Regulated industry sectors, including healthcare and financial services, enabled compliance reporting with SIEM. Data privacy regulation, such as GDPR and CCPA, will drive future SIEM adoption across all vertical markets.
- Cloud as integral SIEM vector: Mobile device security was managed as endpoints of the organization's security perimeter. With cloud migration and third-party relationships, event management must be coordinated. The cloud has become an essential deployment vector for SIEM platforms.
- Automation: The use of Artificial Intelligence (specifically machine learning and deep learning) improves the effectiveness of the SIEM solution.
Legacy security tools, including a firewall or anti-virus solution, are not obsolete with the deployment of a SIEM platform; however, they do not protect against contemporary evolving and mutating threats that bypass detection. A SIEM platform with behavior analytics, for example, provides visibility into insider threats and suspicious user activity. As threats continue to become more sophisticated, more advanced techniques and expertise will be required to augment legacy tools.

95.6 Questioner: I assume you mean that we should put the salt on the outer doors only and not the inner doors of the house. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. We cannot express the nature of salt and water and garlic with clarity enough to inform you as to the efficacy with which salt absorbs vibrations which have been requested to move into salt when salt has been given water. We cannot express the full magical nature of your water, nor can we express the likeness and attractiveness of the garlic cut to lower astral forms. The attractiveness is negative and no service-to-self astral form will accept coexistence with the cut garlic.
Therefore, we offer these suggestions. We also request, carefully, that the broom be clean and that the garlic be burned. The virginity of the broom is most efficacious.
95.7 Questioner: Let me see if I have the scenario correctly. I'll repeat my version of it. We would hang garlic, fresh-cut garlic in the area of the wet bar and the area of the bedroom that is adjacent to the kitchen area. We would salt all window sills and all outer wall door sills and then sprinkle blessed water from our fingers on all of the salted areas. We would then say appropriate words to bid farewell to lower astrals. Those words I am not sure of. Would Ra comment on the scenario that I've just stated?
Ra: I am Ra. Your grasp of our suggestions is good. We note that the salt be poured in the straight line with no gaps. There are various ritual words of blessing and farewell to entities such as you are removing. We might suggest the following.
When the salt is laid you may repeat "We praise the One Creator which gave to salt the ability to enable those friends, to which we wish to bid farewell, to find a new home."
As the water is sprinkled you may say "We give thanks to the One Creator for the gift of water. Over it the Creator moves Its hand and stirs Its will to be done."
The hanging of the cut garlic may be accompanied by the words "We praise the One Creator for the gift of garlic and bless its ability to offer to those friends to whom we wish to bid farewell the arrow which points their way of egress."
When the sweeping is done you may say "We praise the One Creator and give thanksgiving for the spiritual cleanliness of this dwelling place."
As the garlic is burned you may say "We give thanks to the One Creator for the gift of spiritual cleanliness in our dwelling place and seal the departure of all those who have left by this exit by the consuming of this substance."
95.5 Questioner: I am assuming that we would prepare the blessed water the same as we prepare the water for the instrument to drink after a session and then would wipe the windows and doors with this water… probably have to be done in a bucket, and… I would like to know if this is correct, and what was meant by salting of the windows and doors?
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, you may bless the water yourselves or may request so-called holy water from any blessed place; that is, blessed by intention. Secondly, the water shall be carefully shaken from the fingers along the sills of all windows and doors as they have been opened. Thirdly, prior to the sprinkling of this cleansing, blessing sacrament of water, the salt shall be trailed along these sills in a line and again allowed to exist in this configuration for 36 to 48 hours. Then the virgin broom may ritually sweep the salt out of each window and doorway, sweeping with each stroke the less fortunate of the vibrations within the dwelling which might find coexistence with your group difficult.
95.8 Questioner: Is any place more appropriate than another to hang the garlic in the rooms; for instance, over the windows or anything like that? I know it is supposed to be hung in the area of the bar but I meant in the bedroom. Is there any more appropriate place than another?
Ra: I am Ra. The windows and the doorways are most appropriate and, in addition, we suggest the salting and sprinkling of any door which may lead elsewhere than out of the dwelling in order to afford to the entities the understanding that they are not desired elsewhere within the dwelling.
95.4 Questioner: Thank you. The new room that we choose will of course be carefully cleaned and marred surfaces made well. We shall also use the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram prior to a working. Is there anything else that Ra could suggest? And I would also know if there is anything in particular that Ra might suggest with respect to the particular place that has been chosen for the new location.
Ra: I am Ra. We scan the recent memory configurations of the questioner. Firstly, there has been some less than harmonious interaction within this dwelling. The dynamics of this interaction were potent enough to attract a lesser thought-form. Therefore, we suggest the salting and ritual cleansing by blessed water of all windows and doorways which offer adit into the domicile or any out-buildings thereof.
Further, we suggest the hanging of the cut garlic clove in the portion of the room which has accommodated those whose enjoyment has turned into a darker emotion centering upon the area we find you call the wet bar, also the room intended for the sleeping which is found near the kitchen area. The appropriate words used to bid farewell to those of the lower astral shall be used in connection with the hanging of the garlic cloves for the period of approximately 36 of your hours. We believe that this is equivalent to two of your night periods and one of your lit periods. This should cleanse the house as you find it to the extent that it is neutral in its vibrations. We suggest that you then request of this living entity that it now be welcoming and absorbent for the vibrations of harmony, love, and thanksgiving which this group shall then, as the incarnational experience proceeds, offer to the domicile.

For Melbourne additive manufacturing company Titomic Limited, winning last week's Best Maritime Innovation Award at the Pacific 2017 maritime exposition in Sydney was another validation that its Kinetic Fusion titanium spraying system has potential across a range of markets.
Titomic has exclusive rights to commercialise the CSIRO-developed Kinetic Fusion, an additive manufacturing system that sprays up to 45 kilograms of titanium or titanium alloy particles per hour across a scaffold to produce a load-bearing structure.
The system overcomes limitations of earlier additive systems, enabling manufacture of complex parts without shape or size constraints
By building up a component instead of milling down from a titanium billet, the system can reduce the amount of material used from "buy to fly" by more than 80 per cent and cut production time from days to hours.
A Titomic aerospace industry application would see a component produced and built up in 2.5 hours with 25 kilograms of sharp powder and 10 per cent material wastage, compared with a traditional billet milling system starting with a 225 kilogram billet, with 90 per cent wastage to produce a machined part in 44.5 hours.
Titomic believes the system overcomes limitations of earlier additive systems, enabling manufacture of complex parts without shape or size constraints. Multiple robots can be used to build larger components, with the system also allowing joining of dissimilar metals, stronger structures and reduced time to market with no tooling.
The company sees potential in a myriad of markets from sporting goods to medical, automotive, building and low-volume high-value aerospace and defence manufacturing, and is building a 40.5 cubic-metre additive manufacturing machine, one of the largest in the world, at its Melbourne site for development and prototyping.
"We are all delighted to have won 'Best Maritime Innovation' award at Pacific 2017," Titomic CTO and CEO Jeff Lang said. "It's exciting to see the high level of interest in Titomic's Kinetic Fusion technology from multiple industries. This increases our potential revenue target markets for Titomic to expand into as we seek to deliver the maximum value for our investors."
Titomic's business model will see clients offered a licence to manufacture with the technology, with access to prototyping services, consumables and support.

So here are the basic charges that you should be paying, with a brief explanation to go with it.
Debt Relief Order (DRO)
Maximum £90
This fee is per person, as a DRO is individual, joint applications cannot be done
This fee is paid to the Insolvency Service, and NOT to any third party organisation.
There is no reduction in the cost if you are on low income, benefits, etc.
Maximum £707 Variable between £525 and £707 depending on circumstances
This fee is per person, as a Bankruptcy is individual, joint applications cannot be done (except in businesses)
There are two fees to be paid, the Court fee and the Official Receiver's Deposit.
The Official Receiver's Fee is £525 and there is no reduction for low incomes, benefits, etc.
The Court Fee is £175, and depending on your circumstances you can get part or all of this fee remitted (reduced). (You will need to complete a Form EX160 claim this, do it in advance or submitting your petition).
In some courts (please ask BEFORE going to court) there is a charge to 'swear your documents, which is a legal requirement, and if they charge there is a flat fee of £7. If charged this again can be remitted, though many do this free of charge
These fees are paid in CASH to the court you are presenting your bankruptcy in, they are NOT paid to any third party organisation.
Again you should not need to pay anyone to submit the application for you.
Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA)
Maximum = Up to 40% of all monies paid in - most charge a lot less
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a formal agreement between you and your (lenders) creditors. It is generally appropriate for people who are unable to make their monthly repayments in full but who do have some money to give to their creditors each month. An IVA proposal sets out how you are going to repay your creditors, usually over a period of five to six years. The IVA can also take the form of a lump sum raised from the sale of an asset such as property or an insurance policy or a contribution from friends or family.
There should be no upfront fees for an IVA, as any reputable company should collect the fees from the agreed payment into the IVA when and if the IVA is approved. If the IVA is not realistically going to be approved then this kind of provider would not put forward as if the IVA is rejected they will have done the work of the adviser, nominee and creditors meeting for no reward - fees are not cheap
Debt Management Plan (DMP)
Maximum NIL up to 25%
By using the service of either PayPlan or CCCS, the DMP will not cost you anything, because these organisations are funded by the creditors directly.
If you choose to use a fee charging company, you can expect (as an average) the first two month's contributions to be retained by the company to cover 'set up costs' and they will retain up to a further 20% of each month's payments as 'administration charges'. In effect this reduces your DMP payments by about 25% or will extend your repayment period by 25%.
We also caution the use of fee paying companies as many DO NOT pay the creditors and 'fold' taking your money with them.
Informal Voluntary Agreement (IVA)
Oh yes they do exist, please be VERY careful when dealing with small debt management companies when entering into an IVA, as some have recently been advertising IVAs and people have signed up thinking they are INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS, when in reality they are signing up for a DMP in another name!
Recently we are aware of a person who LOST £1500 to a company who convinced the person they were in an INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT, when in reality they were in a DMP and then 'folded' the company.
Currently this practice is not illegal and OFT is investigating!

The freedom of the seas -- meaning both the oceans of the world and coastal waters -- has been among the most contentious issues in international law for the past four hundred years. The most influential argument in favour of freedom of navigation, trade, and fishing was that put forth by the Dutch theorist Hugo Grotius in his 1609 'Mare Liberum'. ''The Free Sea'' was originally published in order to buttress Dutch claims of access to the lucrative markets of the East Indies. It had been composed as the twelfth chapter of a larger work, ''De Jure Praedae'' ('On the Law of Prize and Booty'), which Grotius had written to defend the Dutch East India Company's capture in 1603 of a rich Portuguese merchant ship in the Straits of Singapore. This new edition publishes the only translation of Grotius's masterpiece undertaken in his own lifetime -- a work left in manuscript by the English historian and promoter of overseas exploration Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616). This volume also contains William Welwod's critque of Grotius (reprinted for the first time since the seventeenth century) and Grotius's reply to Welwod. Taken together, these documents provide an indispensable introduction to modern ideas of sovereignty and property as they emerged from the early-modern tradition of natural law.Grotius, Hugo is the author of 'Free Sea', published 2004 under ISBN 9780865974319 and ISBN 0865974314.[read more]

Political Mirchi: Kiran Kumar & Chiranjeevi absence disappoints Congress - Tv9
Tue, Feb 19, 2019, 07:24 PM
At a time when all the parties are gearing up for the election 2019, some of the senior leaders of Congress in Andhra Pradesh have been keeping away from the active politics. Former AP CM Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy and former MP Chiranjeevi have so far not come to the public on political issues. This has disappointed the Congress cadre including the party high command. Both these leaders have so far not shown interest to contest in the election either on Assembly or on Parliamentary seats.

text: trekterrano 9 #1 Posted December 17, 2019 Hi All. A while since I intro'd myself and the 1987 Hardbody V6 auto trek terrano. I was intending to start down the path of getting the engine out for a rebuild and then the plans went off track due to other commitments and it is only now back on the list of things to do. Having started on the engine removal over the last while and now having worked through the manual for the "how to's", I am down to trying to get the torque converter disconnected from the flywheel via the (supposed) access area between the sump and the bellhousing. Only issue is the V6 4wd/auto has a stupidly large rear sump pan that completely shrouds the bellhousing with maybe 5mm/3/8" space between. I have dropped the front diff, all needed ancillaries, exhaust connections etc. and am now trying to see options to make some space. In looking at the main challenge, the dropped front diff sits between the sump and front cross member so it is a challenge to raise the engine even slightly to try and drop the sump so as to get to the torque converter bolts through the access area. In looking at the options, I was considering one of any of the following : 1. Disconnect the torsion bars and drop the front diff completely out to clear the sump - drop the sump to access the torque converter bolts. 2. Drop the middle span of the front cross member which would seem to then allow the front diff to drop and give space to more easily drop the sump and then access the torque converter bolts. This looks like a minimum number of bolts etc., on the front cross member and potentially less challenges but not 100% sure of any issues that this may bring up as well. 3. Remove the diff rear cross member from the diff, drop the diff, etc etc (have already tried to undo the three nuts holding this cross member on to not much success - even considered cutting the heads/connections off the cross member and then replace/repair afterwards) 4. Take a large flame and.......... At present, it looks like the final torque converter bolts are the last items to disconnect before undoing the engine mounts and lifting the engine out. So close, but.... I am used to getting engines in and out with far less hassle in the past but not having had a 4WD before was expecting a "bit" more work. but this is getting to the point where it seems each step forward hits another blocker. In reading all of the various online stories, takes of woe etc, it seems the v6/auto hardbody wasn't exactly designed in such a way to make this job straightforward, so any suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance on any words of wisdom Cheers Ian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Water consumption in most households involves several water outlets. However, showers consume the largest quantity of water in most households. So, just by installing efficient shower heads, the total cost of water consumption can be reduced significantly.
Efficient shower heads and faucet restrictors can also help households not to exceed the extra water consumption limits imposed by some Water Authorities, thereby refraining from paying steep tax levies. Add to this, the savings associated with water heating and sewage costs, the overall savings are more than significant.
Here is an example of the savings in cost of water and energy in a typical residential household indicating the feasibility of investment in these shower heads and faucet restrictors:

Where the Girls Aren't (Redux)
Randall Stross defines the gender gap in computer science well in this NYT article, but he doesn't do much to explain it.
That's understandable. When we wrote last year about the closely-related problem of women leaving IT jobs, we were quick to say there was no simple answer or simple solution.
One of several points raised: "The idea is that women along with racial and ethnic minorities, including blacks and Hispanics, according to a 2005 survey by the Information Technology Association of America have fared worse in IT jobs than white men during the downturn and subsequent recovery because their position in that marketplace was so tenuous in the first place. The limiting factors on women in IT became self-perpetuating and reinforcing mechanisms when the downturn hit. For example, the lack of female mentors and networks, long seen as a disincentive to entering the field to begin with, made it more difficult for women to find new jobs in a tough market."
Also: "Ultimately, workplace diversity is about culture -- both corporate culture and its relationship to the larger cultures in which the company operates. And like all culture stories, this one stresses the importance of leadership from the top."
More thoughts here.
