"Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female." Matthew 19:4
Dear Friends,
The evidence that state enforcement of transvestite pseudo rights is an exercise of tyranny and madness continues to make its self known. The man whose birth name was Ronan Oger (Ronan now calls himself Morgane after he fathered two children and decided he was a woman at age 44), the NDP transvestite candidate who is prosecuting me for calling him a guy who God did not want people to vote for, is apparently unhappy that the BC Human Rights Tribunal stated the obvious that he was born a male. The following conversation would be funny, except Ronan and his homosexual activist lawyer are using the BC Human Rights Tribunal to take away the right to speak self evident truths away from Canadians in order to accomodate Ronan's narcissistic gender fantasy.
Here is the conversation between me, Paul Fromm of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, the BCHRT kangaroo judge who refuses to recuse himself for bias Walter Rilkoff, and Ronan's homosexual activist lawyer Susanna Quail.
(Note: The Decision Regarding Interveners is 8 pages, you can scroll past the 8 pages if you are not interested in the decision or are strapped for time, and just read the e-mails containing a four way argument over the request to change the decision's wording to suit Ronan's gender fantasy.)
Susanna Allevato Quail <firstname.lastname@example.com>
to Midhath, BC, me, paul
Dar Mr. Varnals,
Pursuant to Rule 35 of the Tribunals' Rules of Practice and Procedure, the Complainant requests the correction of an error in this decision, 2017 BCHRT 195.
Paragraph 2 of the decision states that Ms. Oger "was born as a male". This is incorrect and is not set out in any of the Complainant's materials. Ms. Oger requests that this sentence be removed, or if it is relevant to specify Ms. Oger's gender identity the sentence could be corrected to state "Ms. Oger is a transgender woman."
Should the Tribunal require further evidence, Ms. Oger can provide a copy of her birth certificate which is marked "female". However, Ms. Oger notes that complainants are not generally required to provide evidence of their sex or gender before the Human Rights Tribunal and would prefer not to give credence to any notion that she must produce evidence to prove that she is who she is.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Susanna Allevato Quail

Here is the offending decision Ronan is complaining about. I highlighted the offending sentence in red and bolded it so you can find it easily.

Counsel for the Complainant: Susanna Quail

On his own behalf: Gordon S. Watson

Expression:Paul Fromm
Page | 1
[1] Morgane Oger has brought a complaint against Bill Whatcott alleging that he published
two flyers that are likely to expose Ms. Oger in particular and transgender people in general to
hatred or contempt because of her gender identity contrary to section 7 of the Human Rights
Code [Code].
[2] Ms. Oger was born as a male but identifies as a female. She was a candidate for the New
Democratic Party in the May 2017 provincial general election in the Electoral District of
Vancouver – False Creek.
[3] The first flyer was distributed during the election campaign and was headed
"Transgenderism vs. Truth in Vancouver – False Creek". Mr. Whatcott does not deny publishing
this flyer.
[4] The second flyer was published by Mr. Whatcott in response to a directive from the
Tribunal dated June 9, 2017 in which Mr. Whatcott was directed to refer to Ms. Oger as "the
Complainant" if he was not prepared to refer to her as "Ms. Oger", "Morgane Oger", "she" or
A. Submissions
[5] The Tribunal has received submissions from someone identified only by a signature
which appears to be "B. Gray" with no address or other identifying information and another
from someone who identifies herself variously as "Cecelia von Dehn", "Cecilia von Dehn" and
"Sissy von Dehn", says she is a "Ret. RN SCM" and provides a Vancouver address.
[6] No application for intervenor status has been made with either letter (Ms. Von Dehn
wrote two). Neither letter addresses the merits of the complaint: whether Mr. Whatcott's flyers
violate section 7 of the Code. Rather, the letters simply set out the writer's views about gender
Page | 2
[7] The Tribunal is not a forum for debate about any particular issue, in this case, any
individual's views about gender identity. Rather the Tribunal is a quasi‐judicial body whose
ultimate task is to interpret the Code and to determine whether, on the facts found after a
hearing, the Code has been violated.
[8] No application to intervene by these two individuals has been received or intervenor
status granted. Accordingly, those letters will not be considered further and are not being
circulated for response.
B Applications for Intervenor Status
[9] In addition, two applications for intervener status have been made. The first is from an
individual who identifies himself as Gordon S Watson, of Sidney, B.C. and who describes himself
as Justice Critic for the Party of Citizens Who Have Decided to Think for Ourselves and Be Our
Own Politicians. The second is from an organization that calls itself Canadian Association for
Free Expression [CAFE], a not‐for‐profit company situated in Rexdale, Ontario.
[10] The Code provides the Tribunal with jurisdiction to allow intervenors whether or not
they would be affected by any remedy sought. Section 22.1 states:
A member or panel may, at any time after the complaint is filed and on
the terms specified by the member or panel, allow any person or group
of persons to intervene in the complaint, whether or not that person or
group would be affected by an order made by the member or panel
under section 37.
[11] The Tribunal's Rules of Practice and Procedure provide for intervenors to be granted
status as the Tribunal's discretion. Rules13 (3) and (4) state:
(3) A person who may be affected by the remedy sought under under
section 37 of the Code and who wants to participate in the complaint
process must apply to intervene in the complaint and state:
(a) how they may be affected by the remedy sought; and
(b) how they want to participate.
Page | 3
(4) Any other person or group of persons who wants to participate in the
complaint process must apply to intervene in the complaint and state in
the application:
(a) their interest in and any expertise regarding the issues they want
to address;
(b) how they want to participate; and
(c) how their participation will be useful to the tribunal.
[12] Neither applicant for intervenor status has set out how they may be affected by the
remedy sought, and accordingly, I address both application under Rule 13(4).
1. Gordon Watson Application
[13] Mr. Watson seeks to make submissions, written and oral, to participate in the hearing,
to question witnesses and, if circumstances warrant, to call witnesses. He does not say what
the circumstances would be that would lead him to want to call witnesses.
[14] Mr. Watson says he seeks to represent a class of persons yet unascertained who are
"innocent children considering so‐called 'gender re‐assignment'". In his reply, Mr. Watson says
his participation is important because Mr. Whatcott is not participating in the process.
However, the Tribunal has not received anything from Mr. Whatcott suggesting that he is not
[15] Mr. Watson notes that a court referred to him as a "longtime political activist". It
appears from his submissions that he has many causes ranging from opposition to abortion to
distribution of raw milk.
[16] However, Mr. Watson points to no particular expertise on the issue before the Tribunal:
the proper interpretation of s. 7 and, in light of that interpretation, whether the flyers
published by Mr. Whatcott offended against the Code.
[17] In a seven‐page single‐spaced application and a six‐page single‐spaced reply, Mr.
Watson does not stay focused on the issues relevant to intervening in this case, instead
referring in the course of his submissions to freedom of speech and expression, his anti‐
abortion activism, his version of Biblical principles, homosexuality, raw milk, sex selection,
"Body Integrity Identity Disorder", allegations of criminal activity by the previous provincial
Page | 4
government, Premier Gordon Campbell and the Harmonized Sales Tax, an allegation that some
of the judges of the Supreme Court of Canada who decided Saskatchewan (Human Rights
Commission) v. Whatcott, 2013 SCC 11 [Whatcott] were illegally appointed; that the provincial
NDP and the provincial Liberals took bribes, Orwell's novel Animal Farm; to name just some of
the topics.
[18] In Hughson v. Oliver, 2000 BCHRT 11, the Tribunal in considering an intervention
application by CAFE stated (at paras. 4 and 5):
These cases make it clear that the fact that a potential intervenor brings a
different perspective to an issue is not sufficient to warrant granting
leave to intervene. Rather, considering the nature of the issue, the
Tribunal must determine how likely it is that the intervenor will make a
useful contribution to its resolution. Further, the utility of the
contribution must be balanced against the risk of injustice to the parties:
the parties retain the power to define the issues and should not be
compelled to deal with issues raised by non‐parties. An intervention
should not "take the litigation away" from the parties.
In general, the Tribunal has granted leave to intervene when a potential
intervenor shows that it is likely to usefully contribute to an issue that is
clearly raised by the complaint. Usually, the Tribunal is able to ensure
that the parties are not unduly burdened by the intervention by placing
appropriate limits on the intervenor's participation.
[19] I am denying Mr. Watson's application to intervene. I am not convinced that he will
make a useful contribution to the resolution of the complaint. While obviously a political
activist, he demonstrates no particular expertise with regard to the task before the Tribunal,
particularly, finding the appropriate balance between the strictures of the Code and Charter
protected freedom of speech and expression.
[20] In addition to not being convinced that Mr. Watson has any argument or submissions
that may be useful, I am convinced that allowing his participation, even under strict guidelines,
would raise a very real possibility of the litigation being taken from the parties.
[21] Ms. Oger asserts that the case falls to be decided on the principles established by the
Supreme Court of Canada in Whatcott. Mr. Watson disagrees but wants to argue, among other
Page | 5
things, that some of the judges on the Supreme Court of Canada were illegally appointed. The
Tribunal is not the proper forum for such an argument, even assuming such an argument has
any validity.
[22] I find that Mr. Watson's participation as an intervenor would not be useful to the
Tribunal; I deny his application for intervenor status.
2. CAFE Application
[23] CAFE is a non‐profit organization incorporated in Ontario which specializes in issues of
freedom of speech and freedom of belief. It has been granted intervenor status in court and
tribunal hearings in various jurisdictions in Canada.
[24] It has been granted intervenor status by this Tribunal on more than one occasion,
including in Hughson v. Oliver.
[25] In this case, CAFE seeks intervenor status to make submissions, oral and written, to
participate in the hearings, to question witnesses, and "if circumstances warrant, to call
witnesses" It has not set out what circumstances would warrant its calling witnesses, who the
witnesses might be or what evidence those witnesses might give.
[26] Aside from prolonging a hearing and taking the litigation away from the parties, there
can be an unfairness to parties if their witnesses have to undergo two sets of cross‐examination
where the parties are taking the same position, as is the case here from what I can tell.
Certainly CAFE has not set out the value to the Tribunal of having a second party cross‐examine
witnesses called by an opposing party.
[27] As it acknowledges, in Hughson v. Oliver, CAFE was afforded intervenor status but was
not permitted to call or examine witnesses. In its reply, it says that it is "aware of at least 2
witnesses that we propose to produce." It does not name the witnesses or what evidence those
witnesses would give.
[28] CAFE says that its participation is necessary because Mr. Whatcott is impecunious and
cannot afford a lawyer, while CAFE's arguments, according to its Director, will be prepared by a
Page | 6
"qualified senior lawyer of four decades experience". It does not appear that the lawyer would
participate but rather Mr. Fromm, CAFE's director would. Mr. Fromm is not a lawyer.
[29] Given CAFE's extensive participation in other fora in Canada, I have decided that its
submissions may be of assistance but only for the purpose of making written and oral
submissions. There may also be circumstances in which a witness may be able to provide useful
[30] I am granting CAFE's application on the following terms:
1. CAFE's participation will be limited to making oral and written submissions in
regard to the question before the Tribunal, namely whether the two flyers
violated s. 7 of the Code. CAFE does not have standing to take part in any
procedural matters before the Tribunal unless the Tribunal asks them for
2. CAFE may apply to call one or more witnesses. Any such application must be in
writing and made least 120 calendar days prior to the commencement of the
hearing. Any application must set out the name and contact information of the
proposed witness, the evidence in detail that the witness is expected to provide
and why the witness' evidence will assist the Tribunal in resolving this complaint.
If CAFE proposes to introduce any documents as that term is defined in Rule
20(1), through a proposed witness, then it must provide a Form 9.2 to the
Tribunal and to counsel for Ms. Oger as though it were a respondent in this
complaint. Copies of those documents listed must be provided to counsel for Ms.
Oger and to Mr. Whatcott.
3. If CAFE proposes to call expert evidence, it must also set out the witness'
qualifications to provide the evidence and apply in sufficient time to allow it to
comply with Rule 21. If the Tribunal provides consent to call a witness as an
expert witness, then copies of any literature referred to in the expert witness'
summary of the opinion or report must be provided to counsel for Ms. Oger and
Page | 7
to Mr. Whatcott at the same time that the written summary referred to in Rule
21(1) or the report referred to in Rule 21(2) is provided.
C Disclosure
[31] Ms. Oger's Form 9.1 was due to be filed with the Tribunal on July 7, 2017 and a copy of
the form and any documents listed provided to Mr. Whatcott. Even if no documents are being
disclosed the Form is to be filed saying so. The flyers are themselves obviously relevant
documents and must be listed.
[32] Amending the complaint does not postpone the dates for disclosure. Rule 20.2 makes
clear that disclosure is an ongoing obligation.
[33] In that regard, I bring the provisions of Rules 20(4)‐(6) and Rule 22 to the attention of
both parties.
[34] At this point in time, as Ms. Oger has not complied with her document disclosure
obligations, her complaint is being held in abeyance unless and until she complies with those
obligations. Mr. Whatcott will then have the number of calendar days by which the Form 9.1 is
late‐filed plus 35 calendar days to file his Form 9.2 and comply with his document disclosure
Walter Rilkoff, Tribunal Member
Anyways, I responded to Susanna's request to change the decision to suit her client's gender fantasy with common sense.
Bill Whatcott <firstname.lastname@example.com>
to Susanna, BC, paul, Midhath,
To all:
Is not homosexual activist lawyer Susanna Quail's request that the written decision regarding interveners in Oger vs Whatcott be amended not more evidence that this prosecution of me is really a tyrannical and ill concieved act of madness?
Susanna and Ronan don't like paragraph two of the decision and they want to change it to something that better suits Ronan's refusal to deal with reality. At the moment it correctly reads:
"Ms. Oger was born as a male but identifies as a female."
Actually Mr Oger was born a male and he still is a male and no fake birth certificate or judgment that is executed against me by the Tribunal is going to change this fact.
Susanna goes on to say:
"Ms. Oger can provide a copy of her birth certificate which is marked "female".
What Susanna fails to say and what is the big elephant in the room is that Mr. Oger's first birth certificate had him correctly identified as a male and his name was Ronan.
Furthermore Ronan's birth certificate had him identified as a male as recently as ten years ago when he was married to a woman and was fathering children. Ronan's DNA as of this writing is still 100% male.
Ronan's and Susanna's accusations of "hate speech" against me is completely without merit. The BC Human Rights Tribunal's attempt to pretend that Ronan is a woman in need of so-called human rights protection when he decides to run for the NDP as a "trans activist" is an absolute perversion of true justice. To prosecute someone like me because I decided as a right thinking taxpayer to question this fake narrative and because I gave accurate information on the downside of the transvestite lifestyle and told voters that one can be redeemed from the quagmire and delusion of so-called transgenderism is an abomination.
In Christ's Service

Dear Mr. Varnals,
In my email below I stated that Ms. Oger could provide a copy of her birth certificate which is marked "female". I mis-spoke. As Ms. Oger was born outside of Canada, it is her proof of citizenship rather than her birth certificate that is her foundational Canadian identity document.
We reiterate our request that the decision be corrected. Thank you for your consideration.

Bill Whatcott <email@example.com>
to Susanna, BC, paul, Midhath,
Dear Tribunal, Susanna and other concerned parties:
I believe Ronan's French birth certificate will say he was a male at the time of his birth. So will Ronan's DNA attest to this fact. Susanna has allowed so-called transgender ideology to bring her to a place where she is demanding that the defendant and the Tribunal deny unalterable biological reality. I have already taken screen shots of the judgment, paragraph two in particular and this conversation. What will be interesting is how does the Tribunal respond to this demand by Susanna to deny what is in essence biological reality?
What kind of penalty should be assessed against the defendant for refusing to partake in this madness and shining a light on it during a provincial election????

RE: Oger v Whatcott -- Case Number 16408
Dear Mr. Varnals:
I write in response to the September 12 letter from Susanna Allevato Quail on behalf of Complainant Oger. Pursuant to Rule 35 of the Tribunals Rule and Practices, she demands rewording of the Tribunal's September 8th ruling granting CAFE "intervenor status" in this matter.
In our respectful submission, it is improper to demand the rewording of such an interlocutory decision. Submissions by respondent Bill Whatcott show that wording is very controversial and sexual identity is very much at the heart of this case.
The proper approach would be for the Complainant to seek judicial review and not to try to negotiate a changing in the wording of the decision.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Fromm

Re: Morgane Oger v. Bill Whatcott
(Case Number:16408)
Ms. Oger has asked the Tribunal to amend what she says is an error in decision number 2017 BCHRT 195, paragraph 2. She disputes that she was born a male but provides no further description of how she says that this statement is in error. She would like the description changed to: "Ms. Oger is a transgender woman."
Mr. Whatcott, not surprisingly opposes the change asserting that Ms. Oger was born a male and remains so.
The decision is an interim decision addressing applications for intervenor status and does not contain findings of fact related to the merits of Ms. Oger's complaint. It is obvious however that even that simple sentence will be hotly contested and argued in the course of the hearing of this complaint on the merits, assuming that the complaint reaches that point.
Changing a decision after it is published is an extraordinary step designed to correct obvious errors. It is for the person seeking the correction to persuade the Tribunal that the particular statement said to be in error was indeed an error. Ms. Oger has not done so. For that reason, I deny the request to change the decision as published.
This brings me to Mr. Whatcott's submissions. They are disrespectful (and in my view deliberately so). He refers to counsel for Ms. Oger as "Susanna" and Ms. Oger as "Ronan". He has already been admonished that if he does not wish to refer to Ms. Oger as such, or refer to her as "she" or "her", he is to refer to Ms. Oger as "the Complainant".
In referring to Ms. Quail or others, appropriate respect is to be shown and first names are not to be used unless quoting what someone has said.
Mr. Whatcott is to refer to Ms. Quail as Ms. Quail and not "Susanna". As noted, Mr. Whatcott is to refer to Ms. Oger as the Complainant, if he chooses not to use "Ms. Oger", "she" or "her".
Failure to abide by this directive will likely lead to an order of costs against Mr. Whatcott and may lead to the Tribunal refusing to accept or to hear submissions that violate this directive.

Pharma's Omni-Channel Efforts Empower Patients
Posted by Kamal Biswas (View Profile | View All Posts) at 10:57 AM
I'll never forget the day when I heard a physician joke that the biggest 'problem' facing the population was the Internet. What he meant was that his patients would often go online to various medical sites to diagnose themselves. When they finally got to see their doctor, they would emphatically tell him what the medical problem was - even if they weren't even close in their self-diagnosis. I have even heard a doctor's annoyed voice: "You tell me the symptoms and not diagnosis."
But the phenomenon of consumers 'talking' to the Internet to receive some sort of medical information is a testament to how distant they may have grown from their primary care physicians. As time in a physician's exam room is getting shorter and waiting time in doctors' offices is becoming longer, accessing the Internet to find treatment options has become natural. Pharmaceutical companies are using this widening chasm and are beginning to see the advantage of omni-channel marketing to doctors as well as patients.
For a very long time, pharmaceutical firms had been stuck in a bygone era as far as their sales and marketing efforts were concerned. It's only recently that these companies have been using an omni-channel approach to reach doctors - they believe that targeting patients will be one of the most effective ways of selling their products in the near future. Of course, regulators are keeping their eyes wide open. But that's part of an interesting phenomenon we are experiencing today: letting consumerism drive changes to the behavior of regulators!
As the ratio of prescription drugs to over-the-counter medication changes (with latter winning by a huge percentage), marketing strategies are changing significantly as well. The traditional push for the field force to market content has taken a hit. Today, those sales associates are lucky to get a busy doctor's attention and that's why a distinct consumer focus has arisen lately.
Some pharma companies have been notoriously lacking when it came to knowing their return on marketing investment. Not too long ago, it wasn't uncommon for a pharmaceutical giant to spend untold millions of dollars on field sales, without having the right metrics in place to measure how their very traditional sales efforts stacked up. Today, some 40 percent of doctors say that they don't have the time to sit down with pharmaceutical salesmen and hear their pitches. True, maybe they'll take a few free samples in order to hand them out to patients, but beyond that, doctors are a lot less influential in moving pharma products than they used to be.
Sales tactics are changing, for very obvious reasons. Here's an example. A European drug company improved its marketing reach by using applications that it deployed across all marketing channels. They dubbed this strategy as a 'digital solutions factory'. Its success is proof that use of all possible channels joined at the hip through a factory operation is critical to the future success of pharma. First, the company gathered feedback from key opinion leaders on what features they wanted to see in a new offering. Then the company provided caregivers with access to different resources that ranged from large communities all the way to highly specialized medical experts. Creating marketing content faster, scaling from a small number of doctors to a group of many, collecting feedback to analyze, and changing marketing content frequently are all possible in a centralized, omni-channel marketing model. This large pharma company has changed its internal content review and approval process to make digital content creation a lot more nimble. This is a game-changer in the industry.
The quick launch of portal solutions increased patient adherence. Better yet, the information gleaned by the pharmaceutical company was such that it could reduce content creation costs by over 40 percent simply by reusing previously created digital assets that were effective the first time. The company reduced precious time-to-market by a minimum of 25 percent because of this omni-channel approach. Lastly, brand managers could save up to a third of their time by not having to think about which channels to use and whom to approach for enabling their brands. They got all channels enabled at no additional cost.
Digital solutions have a direct effect on the time it takes to get a drug to market. This is not just because all information becomes easily available online. The best part is that there still exists a highly knowledgeable and trained sales force. It simply becomes more effective when it's part of an overall omni-channel effort that includes field sales-driven 'e-Details,' social media, emails, call centers, mobile devices, video, and mobile and offline 'eDetails.' All these sources are integrated and interactive with customers.
In virtually every industry, digital consumers have become paramount to a company's success because they use their preferred channels and times to reach those firms' products or services. Pharmaceutical companies have realized the benefits of the digital shift and are now maturing towards maximizing the benefits through all possible channels. In the end, they need to generate as much revenue as possible until the product remains innovative and effective over the products of their competitors.

It was like a known fact that fish prices really do sky rocket in Japan considering how much the public enjoys biting into the white meat. The latest on that front tells us that a giant bluefin tuna was sold for $177,000 at an auction held in Tskukiji. This is the world's largest wholesale fish market in Japan. The fish in question weighs 232 kilograms, which is almost four times the weight of an average Japanese man.
A pair of Japanese and Hong Kong sushi restaurant made the winning bid making it the second highest in world after a record 20.02 million yen was paid for a bluefin tuna in 2001.
The information on the fish revealed that it was caught off the northern tip of Japan's main island of Honshu. These waters are already known to have produced some real famous high quality fishes. One of the owners of the Japanese and Hong Kong sushi restaurant was heard saying that the fish might bring them a lot of publicity and drive people to their eating joint. Again, this auction comes at a time when environmentalists are trying to warn the world of the bluefin tuna's forthcoming extinction,

NRHA's product knowledge training
programs for employees are designed
to give store associates the information they need to be productive right from the
start. We offer training programs in core hardware and building materials categories
and it's free to all NRHA members.
May 2, 2012
This morning on the NRHA Village stage, seminars focused on how retailers can be smarter about finding growth points in their businesses and create loyal customers.
To kick off the morning, Jim Robisch from the Farnsworth Group presented "Developing an Action Plan for Growth." Whether or not the market improves quickly, you have to be proactive in growing your business, says Robisch. "There tends to be a fundamental misunderstanding about what companies think their customers want, and what they actually want. The greatest opportunities will be at the local market level, so find out what is most important in your market to both your customers and more importantly your non-customers. Focus on improving traffic, closure rate and transaction size."
Next, the keynote speaker of the morning Pete Luckett gave a presentation titled "Turning Buyers into Believers." While the cornerstones of a successful business have always been price, presentation, quality and service, the trouble is that practically every retailer out there is already doing those things. "The bar has been raised on all business," says Luckett. So how do you take it to the next level?
Luckett suggests retailers create believers. "Create a bit of personal interaction with the customer that differentiates you from the big-box store. Make it a memorable experience and make it authentic. Make the customer smile. If you can get this type of relationship with your customers, you can turn your customers into loyal customers and then believers."
In the afternoon, presentations on the NRHA Village Stage turned to a few retailers who exemplify what happens when these best retailing practices are put into practice. Dan Tratensek, publisher of the Hardware Retailing magazine, presented NRHA's Top Gun Awards. Now in its sixth year, the Top Gun awards were created to honor leading retailers who are making a difference in the industry. Honorees this year included Ron Cicuttini from Home Hardware, Rocco Falcone from Rocky's Ace Hardware, Doug Gregory from Morrison Terrebone Lumber and CNRG, and Scott Parker from Parker Lumber.
"These best-in-class retailers have raised the bar for everyone," says Tratensek. "Their accomplishments, the examples they provide and the insights they can share with the industry make them truly deserving of the 2012 Top Gun award."

Storage heaters
Night Storage Heating are insulated boxes containing bricks with electrical elements running between them. When the electricity is switched on, the bricks heat up. This is called 'charging' the heater.
The storage bricks are covered with insulation. This holds most of the heat in the box for up to 14 hours or so but this heat will eventually 'leak' out.
At the top of the box is a flap, which can be opened to let the heat out more quickly.
The objective of night storage heating is to utilize the cheaper electricity available during the night.
FAQ – Do Night Storage Heaters lose most of their heat in the daytime and are therefore cold in the evenings?
This may well be true if the property is badly insulated and/or if the Heaters are old. Under these circumstances, supplementary heating is often needed in the evenings.
FAQ – How expensive are they to run compared to oil or gas heating?
Heating a property with night storage radiators costs around 55% more than heating with a modern mains gas-fired condensing boiler, 13% more than with a modern oil-fired condensing boiler, 26% less than with an LPG-fired condensing boiler, and 47% less than using peak-tariff electric heating
How to control?
Input control – This is sometimes called 'Charge' or 'Auto-set control'. This determines how much heat is 'charged' into the storage bricks during the night. On older models this is determined directly by the 'Charge' control setting. On more recent models 'charging' is thermostatically controlled either by room temperature or by an external weather sensor.
Remember! The higher the input setting, the more heat the heater will store, this will increase the amount of electricity used. If you have it set too high for the size of room, you will be wasting money.
Output control – This is sometimes called 'Boost' or 'Room temperature'. Heater has a flap, which open to release heat. How much the flap opens is determined on older models directly by the output control. On more recent models the flap is controlled by a thermostat. You set the thermostat by adjusting the setting of the 'Output' control.
Tips if you have old type of storage heating:
- Remember to turn down the 'output' control before you go to bed to stop heat being given out when you don't want it.
- If the room is cold, turn up the 'output' control until it warms up.
- As the weather gets warmer turn down the 'input' control to store less heat.
- When the room is warm, turn down the 'output' control to save heat for later in the day
Tips for all Electric heaters:
For a property to be adequately and economically heated it is recommended that wherever possible all cavity walls should be insulated (or be of modern, insulated, timber-frame construction) or if of solid wall construction, has either cladding or dry-lining. Loft/roof insulation should be to the highest possible level (currently the minimum standard is 250mm (10 inches) thickness of mineral wool (or its thermal equivalent). In addition, open fires (including gas flame-effect) should be removed.
Think of Replacement!
- In case you need more control over your heater
- Have trouble maintaining comfortable temperature
- Uncertain or fed up using input/output settings
- Your electricity bills are always high
If the answer to the above questions is YES, your heater may still be working but you are not satisfied; the heater is older than 15 years and looks like a thing from the past – there is an opportunity to Replace It with more economical and efficient.
For greater savings why not check our New, improved Lucht LHZ electric combination radiators. They are up to 50% more ECONOMICAL than Storage heaters
It highly recommended to use a new Economical & Energy Efficient type of Electric heating such as "Lucht" or "Farho". These by 40% more economical, have more efficient heat output, have built in digital timer and can be switched on/off any time of the day.

LAGRANGE, Ga. — Representatives of a car parts manufacturing company say they've remedied several issues and have increased training after receiving the most federal safety violations in Georgia.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Sunday that Sewon America, which manufactures components for Kia, has been inspected nine times and received 18 citations since 2009 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Among other things, federal officials have accused the company of failing to provide workers with adequate hand and eye protection, and exposed employees to crush hazards.
The plant's general manager Ken Horton says employees had to overcome a learning curve, and officials say most of the citations were issued in 2009 and 2010.
Former employee Kimberly Scandrick recalled an incident in December 2010 when sparks from a robotic welding machine lit her clothes on fire.
"Everybody started screaming. The girl next to me said that my clothes were on fire, and I just took off running," she said. A manager eventually tackled Scandrick and put the fire out.
Scandrick has had skin graft surgeries and faces an additional $150,000 in operations.
Labor officials found that two violations linked to welding flash burns and subpar protective gear were willfully committed by the company with indifference or disregard for workers' safety and health.
Sewon representatives say they've addressed issues associated with welding.
"The company is allowing us to invest whatever it takes to keep safe our employees," Horton said. "It's just the right thing to do and the numbers speak for themselves in terms of reduction" of workplace accidents.
The newspaper reported that ambulances have been sent to the plant 23 times for trauma calls since it opened four years ago. The company disputes those numbers, and officials say ambulances were only sent to the facility 10 times for trauma calls.

Yield sign
In road transport, a yield or give way sign indicates that each driver must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed. A driver who stops or slows down to let another vehicle through has yielded the right of way to that vehicle. In contrast, a stop sign requires each driver to stop completely before proceeding, even if no other traffic is present. Particular regulations regarding appearance, installation, and compliance with the signs vary by jurisdiction.
While give way and yield essentially have the same meaning in this context, many countries have a clear preference of one term over the other. The following chart compiles which countries and territories use which term. This chart is based on official government usage in the English language and excludes indirect translations from other languages.
A black triangle (within the standard down-arrow-shape of stop signs) was a symbol of "stop for all vehicles" from about 1925 in Germany. The triangular yield sign was used as early as 1938 when it was codified in Czechoslovakia in a blue-white variant without words[1] and in 1939 in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia which adopted the current red-white variant.[2] In the United States, the first yield sign was installed in 1950 at First Street and Columbia Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma, having been devised and designed (apparently independently) by Tulsa police officer Clinton Riggs.[3] [4][5] Riggs invented only the sign, not the rule, which was already in place.[6] The sign as originally conceived by Officer Riggs was shaped like a keystone; later versions bore the shape of an inverted equilateral triangle in common use today.
Country specifics[edit]
In Australia, the Give Way sign evolved similarly to its counterpart in the United States. During the 1940s and 1950s, the sign was circular and yellow. In 1964, the sign changed to a red triangle. In the 1980s the sign adopted its modern design and gained a counterpart for use at roundabouts.
Modern design for use at roundabouts since 1984
In road signs in Ireland, the yield sign reads yield in most areas, though in Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) areas, it reads géill slí ("yield way"[7]) instead.[8][9] Signs erected before 1997 and still in service read yield right of way,[10] which remains legally permitted.[9] Signs 1956–62 had blank white interior or were hollow.[11]
Modern design in Irish (1961–present)
New Zealand[edit]
In New Zealand, the original design also used the keystone shape as in the United States, but used a black background with a red border. In the 1980s, the modern design was adopted.
United Kingdom[edit]
The United Kingdom's Road Traffic Act calls for give way signs and road markings at junctions (intersections) where the give-way rule is to apply. The road marking accompanying the sign consists of a large inverted triangle painted just before the place to give way.[12]
In Wales, the signs bear a bilingual legend: the Welsh ildiwch appears above give way.
In the United Kingdom, a stop or give-way sign may be preceded by an inverted, blank, triangular sign with an advisory placard such as give way 100 yards.[13]
United States[edit]
In the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a yield sign may be warranted[14]
"if engineering judgment indicates that one or more of the following conditions exist:
- When the ability to see all potentially conflicting traffic is sufficient to allow a road user traveling at the posted speed, the 85th-percentile speed, or the statutory speed to pass through the intersection or to stop in a reasonably safe manner.
- If controlling a merge-type movement on the entering roadway where acceleration geometry and/or sight distance is not adequate for merging traffic operation.
- The second crossroad of a divided highway, where the median width at the intersection is 9 m (30 ft) or greater. In this case, a STOP sign may be installed at the entrance to the first roadway of a divided highway, and a YIELD sign may be installed at the entrance to the second roadway.
- An intersection where a special problem exists and where engineering judgment indicates the problem to be susceptible to correction by the use of the YIELD sign."
The sign went through several changes from its original design to the sign used today. Originally invented in 1952 and was added to the MUTCD in 1954, the sign used the "keystone" shape, before adopting the more readily recognized triangular shape. In 1971, the sign evolved into its modern version and changed from yellow to red.

Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland (blue background has now been phased out in favour of white)

The list of benefits are enormous but let's start with
what yoga actually means. Many people know it as
an exercise which strengthens and tones the muscles and improves flexibility. Yes it can do that, but it is so much more as well. The word yoga can be translated from the Sanskrit as 'union' and one of its principle purposes is to help improve the mind body connection.

This is an incredibly relaxing type of yoga where all
the postures are done passively, fully supported by blankets and bolsters. No effort at all is required, in
fact the postures are designed expressly to put the
body into positions where deep relaxation is inevitable - of both body and mind. Restorative yoga provides an opportunity to renew, heal and allow the body to rediscover its equilibrium. It balances the
nervous system and allows the adrenal glands to rest.

Employers offering yoga classes to their staff find a
more motivated and more productive workforce who
are able to release and expand physically, mentally
and emotionally. Alongside the mental and emotional benefits, greater physical strength and flexibility can
also be preventative - fewer days lost due to back and neck pain, or to infections flooding weaker immune systems.

1. Content and Use of the Part-Book-Viewer
Most of the polyphonic vocal and instrumental music prints from the 16th and 17th centuries have been published
in the manifestation form of part books. The part-book-viewer of the BSB has been developed as an adequate
online presentation tool for ca. 1,285 musical part book prints from the BSB, which have been catalogued and
digitized in the DFG-project Printed sources of polyphonic music (1501-1700) from the Bavarian
State Library between 2012 and 2016. All part books of one music publication (one bibliographical entity)
will be shown simultaneously on one screen.
The remaining more than 1000 printed music sources from the same project represent all forms of manifestation in their centuries: Lute and organ tablatures, printed choir books, musical broadsides, polyphonic hymn books, music theory containing complete polyphonic works, occasional settings inserted in funeral or wedding sermons or poetry editions, and full scores.
The default presentation tool for all 2,356 music prints of the project is the part-book-viewer. The part-book-viewer offers access to the standard viewer of the Bavarian State Library as well, which should be preferred for sources published in the form of single books (e.g. scores, hymn books, tablatures).
The OPACplus of the Bavarian State Library (https://opacplus.bsb-muenchen.de) is the main research tool for the catalogue entries of printed music including access to the digitized form of the musical sources. The search interface of the part-book-viewer uses a shortened catalogue entry of all music prints of our project.
The default presentation tool for music prints in the form of part books is the part-book-viewer. The part-book-viewer offers an access to the standard viewer of the Bavarian State Library as well.

During the Christian Year
Recognising the important festivals and seasons of the Christian calendar.
Recognising the important festivals and seasons of the Christian calendar.
An important part of the church year are the various festivals that mark Christ's life from the foretelling of his coming celebrated in Advent through to his death on the Cross and his resurrection at Easter.
• The First Sunday of Advent is marked with Holy Communion.
• In recent years, the St Catherine's Hospice Tree of Light Service has been held in early December.
• The Fourth Sunday of Advent sees a traditional, candlelit Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols Service in early evening followed by mince pies.
• Christmas Eve Holy Communion at 11.00pm and Christmas Morning Family Service at 10.00am are celebrated by a churchful each year.
• Late January sees a Christingle Service for all the young and uniformed organisations.
• Ash Wednesday Holy Communion starts the season of Lent.
• Mothering Sunday is celebrated with a Parade Service and a bunch of daffodils for all the ladies present.
• In recent years Holy Week has seen a service each evening leading up to Commemoration of the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, Family Service and the Service of the Cross on Good Friday, Morning Prayer on Holy Saturday and Holy Communion on Easter Day.
• Whitsun is observed with Holy Communion.
• After summer, Harvest Thanksgiving sees a Church Family Lunch where all gather together and enjoy the harvests of the land.
• Church Anniversary Sunday is observed on the first Sunday in October each year with a special service led by a guest preacher.
• The second Sunday in November is Remembrance Sunday. Being the only church in Caterham with a striking clock, this is a significant service up to the Two Minute's Silence at 11.00am.

Today is a auspicious date that will not be repeated in our lifetime: 11/11/11. Where were you at 11:11 AM or 11:11 PM? These are thought to be especially significant times for those who believe in the numerology of Synchronicity.
We experience synchronicity in genealogy when luck or the ancestors' whispers meet our well-prepared mind. The Psychic Roots books by Hank Jones speak to many of these types of events. You may experience it in the "just happens" episodes of research. You just happen to stop in at a distant library or court house when someone who knew your ancestral family was there. You just happen to knock a book off the shelf at the library that opens to your ancestor's information (happened to me). You just happen to mention something to someone that results in finding the long-lost family Bible. You take a class and spend all week next to your second cousin three times removed — and find that out during the course. You attend a lecture and see your family up on the screen as an example of what the presenter is discussing (happened to me twice as an attendee and once as a presenter).
What are your "just happened to" moments? Did you recognize it because your mind was prepared to receive the answer? How does one become aware of these synchronicities? Genealogical education will help you. We are fortunate to live in an age when you can view online lectures (FamilySearch.org has several by your GRIP coordinators and staff), take online classes, or in-person conferences, institutes, or cruises. It is a great time to plan your genealogical education for next year on this auspicious day.
Who says you can't learn and have fun too? Half of the featured Wholly Genes cruise presenters are 2012 GRIP instructors. The sold-out cruise, which begins Sunday, November 13, looks like a wonderful adventure. Check out the topics that John Humphrey, CG, Rick Sayre, CG, and Pam Sayre, CG, CGL are giving at http://www.whollygenes.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?screen=CRUISE.
FamilySearch.org is continually adding instructional videos that presenters donate to them. One of the latest is a basic cemetery lecture by Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL. It has many slides of tombstones of the Pittsburgh area. Check it out to see if your ancestor "just happens" to be included: https://www.familysearch.org/learningcenter/lesson/messages-from-the-grave-listening-to-your-ancestors-tombstone/314

I read with interest your September 25 article: "OV council members;' conduct questioned, recall effort likely". I think this article reflects a decision by city council to have the police department report to them instead of the city manager.
First, allow me to state that I am pleased to be a member of the Oro Valley community. Overall, I think we do a lot of things correctly.
However, the issue of the police department reporting to the city council representatives, and why it was enacted defies rational logic.
The mayor and council have voted to have the police report directly to them. My concern lacks clarity; why the mayor and council would have the police department, which represents 50% of the city budget; report to other than the city manager. The most logical conclusion is one of two things.
1. The City Manager is incompetent and does not take corrective action on issues, and should be terminated. If he isn't fired a salary adjustment should be made since he is only responsible for approximately 50% of the city budget. The second alternative is:
2. We have a political power play occurring in our community. That is, a relationship exists in the governing community, like the one Lyndon B. Johnson had with J. Edgar Hoover. Example: Johnson told Hoover, get all the possible dirt on all my fellow senators so I may, as the majority leader, keep them in line. In return, I will, assure you that I will give the FBI all the funds you request, and award you "The Distinguished Service Award" also. If I get sufficient power I will make you Director for Life; all of which happened in the relationship between these two men while both were in Washington.
If there is another logical conclusion; to this transfer of responsibility of the police department, please provide a clarification of facts.
John Masenheimer,
Oro Valley

Tin box maker Michael Dell has decided to give the Linux laptop a second chance in the former British colony of Virgina.
Dell has launched Project Sputnik in the US which graduated from Dell's internal incubator program into a real product.
Project lead Barton George has confirmed to TechCrunch that Dell will sell a special "developer edition" of its XPS13 Ultrabook after summer.
Each Ultrabook will come pre-loaded with Ubuntu and will not be allowed to dual boot Windows. If you must have dual booting then you will have to buy the Windows version of the Ultrabook and then install Ubuntu.
George said that the developer version will be the high end configuration of the XPS13, with 4GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7 processor and a 256GB solid state hard drive. While Dell sells this for $1,499 the Ubuntu version will be a bit cheaper.
Dell dumped Linux in 2010 saying that it was too confusing to average users and was not reaching the right audience. This was only really a problem in the US, as Dell was selling a lot of Ubuntu laptops outside the land of the free where they are not so easily confused.
What differs is that Project Sputnik is more for power users and these tend to know what they are doing.

(Rampage and Dana in happier times – photo via Combat Lifestyle)
You're not alone if you've been wondering what's been going through Rampage Jackson's somewhat unstable mind over the past year plus as he has continuously said and done things to try to get fired from the UFC – including a bizarre tranny rape video – so he can go fight somewhere where people actually appreciate him. Rampage has made no secret of the fact that he wants out from under the oppressive thumb of Zuffa. And it aint about money, so he says. It's about respect. The man feels disrespected and unappreciated. He's mad as hell and he aint gonna take this shit no more.
It could be that he doesn't like being just another fish, albeit still a dangerous one, in a very large pond. Or maybe it's his scorn with being matched up against guys who amazingly aren't willing to just stand in front of him and get knocked out. Who the hell knows with Rampage? He's an unstable mix of emotions.
I have to assume he's serious about leaving though. I don't buy the argument that it's not about money from a guy who has a history of whining about money. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's about respect as well, or a perceived lack thereof, but Jackson seems to have a profound, self-important sense of what that word means. He even implied disrespect from his next opponent, Glover Teixeira because he claims to have some inside information that Teixeira plans to take him down. Well, ya know, this is mixed martial arts 'n all, and grappling comprises a good portion of the whole "mixed" part of it.
Either way, Saturday night may be the last time we see Rampage in the Octagon. And I just don't care. As excited as I was when he arrived in the UFC, I'm equally excited to see him go. There's just nothing worse than a whiny athlete. Good luck and good riddance. Even Dana White doesn't seem to give a shit. From MMAMania:
"I don't know [if Saturday will be Jackson's last UFC fight], we'll see what happens. I mean I got to answer this question the way I answer all 'Rampage' Jackson questions. You never know where you are with the guy, you know, if you ask me, do I think we've treated 'Rampage' Jackson well? I think we've been great to 'Rampage' Jackson. Financially, personally, professionally and every other way you can be cool to a guy."
"It's one of those deals where me and Lorenzo love what we do, we love being involved and we love doing great things and growing the sport, making guys more money, doing all the things that we've done over the last 13 years, but at the end of the day, any job you have, I don't care what you do for a living, you have to be happy with what you're doing and be happy with the people you're doing it with. And if 'Rampage' isn't happy with us then what are we going to do? The guy needs to go somewhere where the people make him happy."
Hopefully Rampage can find that magical place where everyone lines up every morning to kiss his ass. More than likely though he will get a harsh lesson in the economics of boxing, as well as a firmer understanding of why kickboxers cross over into MMA, not the other way around.

London (Jul. 18)
Six percent of the soldiers in the Polish division being trained in Russia for combat duty on the Soviet front are Jewish, it is reported today by British correspondents in Moscow who this week witnessed a review of the Polish group.
The unit, which is called the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Division, includes members of the army of General Anders, who refused to leave when the Polish forces were evacuated to the Middle East, many persons released from exile in Central Asia, and former guerrilla fighters.

Luke 13:10-13
Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Luke 1:37
With God, nothing is impossible.
John 9: 1-3
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]

Skip to comments.New Energy Lays Off 40 Employees
Posted on 11/08/2012 11:42:54 PM PST by My Favorite Headache
Published: Friday, November 9, 2012
Indiana's oldest ethanol plant has shut down indefinitely.
New Energy Corp. President Russ Abarr said the plant shut down last week, resulting in the layoff of 40 employees.
"We've been looking at what we can do and trying to avoid it," Abarr said. "The decision to lay off long-standing, dedicated employees of New Energy was extremely difficult.
Abarr says an undetermined number of workers will stay on the job as the plant that opened in 1984 prepares to remain idle for at least several months.
Abarr says he believes the plant will reopen sometime in the future because of its proximity to corn supplies, the ethanol market, transportation infrastructure and the South Bend labor supply. He says the plant is for sale.
Abarr cites high corn prices, large ethanol inventories, lower gas prices and lower fuel demand as factors leading to the shutdown.
In June 2011, 30 workers were laid off in the only other workforce reduction in plant history.
Abarr said he is hopeful that some of all of the laid off employees will be called back to future employment at New Energy, but this would depend on starting back operations, and he said there are no guarantees.
"Due to the challenging economic conditions facing the ethanol industry, the New Energy Co. has decided to cease production and temporarily idle the facility," he said.
HOORAY New Energy! Prepare. Persevere.
Shut down before the election, just being reported now...

Gold, silver, and the six platinum-group metals are known as noble or precious metals. The term 'noble' refers to gold's extreme reluctance to combine chemically with nonmetallic elements, notably oxygen. The term 'precious' refers to its rarity, durability, and beauty that until the 19th century made gold by far the most expensive of metals.
Of 14 known isotopes, gold is found in terrestrial rocks as the only stable isotope, atomic number 79 and atomic weight 197, located in Group 1b of the periodic table of elements along with copper and silver. The other 13 isotopes have half-lives ranging from a few seconds to a few days. Gold crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice, melts at 1,064.18° C, and with a specific gravity of 19.3, is among the densest of metals. It is also the most malleable of metals, is soft and highly ductile, has a bright pleasing color, is highly reflective to infrared radiation and to most of the visible spectrum, alloys readily with common metals, is readily joined by fusion bonding (soldering and brazing), and has high electrical and thermal conductivity. Chemically inert towards most naturally occurring substances, gold does not tarnish or corrode in use.
The name 'gold' as well as the word 'yellow' derives from the Sanskrit word meaning to shine; the chemical symbol for gold, Au, comes from the Latin 'aurum,' which means glowing dawn.
Gold has been treasured since ancient times for its beauty and permanence. Most of the gold that is fabricated today goes into the manufacture of jewelry. However, because of its superior electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and other desirable physical and chemical properties, gold emerged in the late 20th century as an essential industrial metal. Gold performs critical functions in computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines, and a host of other products. Although gold is important to industry and the arts, it also retains a unique status among all commodities as a long-term store of value. Until recent times, it was considered essentially a monetary metal, and most of the bullion produced each year went into the vaults of government treasuries or central banks.
This report on the gold industry covers the basics of this glittering industry, ranging from the production/consumption of gold, the historical importance of gold, the different uses of gold, and much more. A detailed analysis of the regulatory environment of the industry is included in the report, along with comprehensive coverage of the three major players in the industry. A brief overview of the global gold industry is also provided to help the reader to analyze the U.S. gold industry from a global perspective.

Barriers to Participation in Archaeology Online
Start: May 22, 2012 02:00 PM
Location: Room 612, Institute of Archaeology
The Archaeology and Communication Research Network (ACRN), will host a workshop to address the themes of barriers to public engagement with archaeology online at the Institute on 22 May.
The afternoon workshop will explore factors that may limit or impede public participation in archaeology and heritage, via digital media and the Internet.
This event will be structured in two halves:
- In the first half, there will be 6 short presentations by researchers and practitioners in the field of digital Public Archaeology.
- In the second half, there will be an open discussion on the topics raised, moderated by the chair, Don Henson (Centre for Audio-Visual Study & Practice in Archaeology).
The discussion will be enriched by the presence of participants from a wide variety of archaeological backgrounds, and through active contributions via Twitter and a Wikispace. The hashtag for the event will be #digipubarch. The outcome of the discussion will be posted onto the Wikispace, and will be presented at a larger ACRN Public Archaeology conference to be held in November 2012.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Lorna Richardson (UCL Centre for Digital Humanities/Institute of Archaeology)
- Cara Jones (Archaeology Scotland)
