Former Canaries youngster produces moment of magic to keep Linnets on top
PUBLISHED: 20:45 30 November 2019 | UPDATED: 20:45 30 November 2019
Sam Kelly provided the perfect response to a demand for more of his undoubted qualities with a touch of class that helped the Linnets overcome one of the toughest home challenges of the season.
It was ace marksman Adam Marriott who got the goal, but it was teed up perfectly by Kelly with a sublime clipped pass into the penalty area.
It was the third part of a Kelly mini-series within minutes of his introduction off the bench alongside Sonny Carey.
First he teed Carey up with a similar chipped ball into the box, then he had a go at goal himself, just clearing the target from the edge of the area. Then came the piece de resistance which earned Lynn all three points and kept them top of the table.
To be brutally honest, what Kelly produced in those few minutes is what many Lynn fans have been waiting for this season: he came to Lynn last summer with a pedigree of a youth upbringing at Norwich City and Everton before senior football with Port Vale, Grimsby and Hamilton, but the 26-year-old has struggled to break into Ian Culverhouse's first team.
"I have spoken to him about it," said the Linnets boss. "We have had him in the office and said 'look, come on, we need more from you and the quality you have got'. He has found it hard to get in and stay in and it is hard because of the rotation side of things. Once he gets a run in the team, and I think it's now three or four games where he has come in and done really well, then you will see the real Sam and he will grow and grow as the season goes on.
"But it is all new to him, the way we play, but he has got a lot of good weapons."
You may also want to watch:
There's no doubt that Kelly and Carey helped changed the balance of power in Lynn's favour, although the half-time change which saw Aaron Jones come on for Tom Ward was forced on the manager - the big central defender was ill at half-time, which rather explained some wayward first-half defending.
It didn't help Ward's cause that Gateshead - coached by former Norwich City favourite Michael Nelson - wanted to play football rather than park the bus. They had quality all over the field, although JJ O'Donnell and the excellent strike Josh Kayode stood out. Kayode was denied by a magnificent save by Lynn keeper Alex Street - in a one on one, Street read the striker perfectly and got down low to his left to palm the ball away.
Gateshead deserved to be ahead, but then came the double change - and with Marriott on the pitch, you always have a chance. When he picked up Kelly's pass there was still a bit to do, but from a difficult angle he slid it past Bradley James and home.
"They were a good side," admitted Culverhouse. "They came with a good game plan as well and we found it hard. The pitch doesn't help - it is heavy and it is cutting up on us but I thought were they were very good in their game plan and it took a while to grind that out, and we lived on the edge a little bit. But we keep praising them and they keep finding a way to win, which is a sign of a really good team."
That last comment ought to be noted by some fans who vented their frustrations as Lynn kept possession in their own half - one or two boos were even detected, which is outrageous. As Culverhouse noted, that is the way his team play, and they aren't about to change now. They're top of the league - why would they?

Scalable Verification of Probabilistic Networks
This paper presents McNetKAT, a scalable tool for verifying
probabilistic network programs. McNetKAT is based on a new semantics
for the guarded and history-free fragment of Probabilistic NetKAT in
terms of finite-state, absorbing Markov chains. This view allows the
semantics of all programs to be computed exactly, enabling
construction of an automatic verification tool. Domain-specific
optimizations and a parallelizing backend enable
McNetKAT to analyze networks with thousands of nodes,
automatically reasoning about general properties such as probabilistic
program equivalence and refinement, as well as networking properties
such as resilience to failures. We evaluate McNetKAT's scalability
using real-world topologies, compare its performance against
state-of-the-art tools, and develop an extended case study on a
recently proposed data center network design.

Hello all,
I am new here and hopefully I am posting this on the right forum. I also apologize for the long post ahead, but I hope someone can help me. What trigged my question above, actually happened just two days ago but requires the following context:
About 5 years ago, after I finished my university bachelor degree, I was desperately looking for a job. I live in a country where it's difficult to find a job where they pay a fair salary (in comparison to the work that is being done) or where you can get a decent work-life balance. I kept looking for a job for about 3 months and the more time I spent at home, the more demotivated I felt. So I thought, 'hey, why not doing voluntary work somewhere nearby while I'm searching? That way I get experience and keep my head entertained' - following this thought, I went to a community youth center nearby asking if they need a hand. I explained them my situation and they said they would let me work there (for free) until I got a job. So I worked there for about 6 months for free, never missing a day or arriving later. Eventually I found a good paying job and had to leave the community center. I left on very good terms and felt very grateful for the opportunity that I was given there, as I had learnt a lot and the people there trusted me completely. They said if there was ever a chance of employing me there, they would give me a call.
Fast forward 2 years later, I got a call from the boss of the community youth center. She said she was starting a new project and was gathering new people for the team and proposed me a not-so-good paying job offer, but with the promise to have me promoted after 2 years. Because I had been so happy when I worked there, as well as because it was closer to home, I left my previous job and accepted her offer.
Now, at this point it is important to refer that the boss of the center was always very friendly - I would even say we became friends. She was demanding and strict, but as a boss that is what you would expect. She also would say that, if I ever needed a day off for a personal reason, or if I wanted to continue my studies, I could just ask her and it wouldn't be an issue she seemed very accessible and understanding, and initially even the team meetings were very easy-going. Additionally, after I joined the team, another person, who was actually a personal friend of hers, was admitted to the team as well.
But after a short period of time, everything started going a bit downhill. The workload grew heavier, I was given projects and tasks that I knew nothing of and that nobody taught me. The deadlines grew shorter and we started to work more and more hours. At the same time, we had this Facebook group together, where the boss would send messages regardless of the time and day, requesting information of projects that were going on, or asking for follow-ups. For most of the extra hours we did on specific activities and projects, we got to take off those extra hours on another day. The problem was the extra hours everyone did on a 'normal office day' - she said she never asked us to stay overtime, but she held us responsible if we were not able to hand a project on time (which we could only if we worked overtime).
Together with this, she started giving moral lessons to everyone, and expanding her 'preaches' to the personal areas and aspects of the co-workers. When a project went not right, she would accuse the team of not being her friend, not being decent or not wanting to know about her image or theirs. The accusations got more and more personal to the point where she would make people cry in team meetings. When the personal friend of hers she employed started doing poorly on her tasks, she spoke bad of her to the rest of the team, accused her of not respecting her and being a ty collaborator in overall. In the end, she fired her friend and told the team she had left on her own terms. After this situation, she kept being - what I now understand to be - manipulative. She started having individual meetings with each collaborator. In the meetings, she would praise her 'favorites' very highly and tell everyone thats how they should behave. In short she would act like the benevolent mother and the team represented the ignorant or lazy child whom she needed to pass her teachings to.
During this time, in private meetings she would tell me I was one of the people she most trusted, one of her most valued workers and her friend. She gave me her e-mail and task-programme password, so that I could answer some e-mails on her behalf, on the basis that, that way, I wouldn't have to leave a process hanging because of the lack of her response. She gave me more responsibilities, with more and more tasks seemingly to the ones of a personal assistance. She also made me responsible for a small team (3 people total) of an ongoing project and topic nobody had had education or training on - all of this without a pay raise and with the same number of tasks as before.
At this point, it is important to mention that I have always been a bit 'frail' mentally - that is, since I've been 14 years of age I have suffered of chronical depression. Needless to say, that all these additional responsibilities, the extra-hours, the strict demands, the competitive environment made me question myself and my capabilities. I started having strong mood and performance fluctuations. I felt that the small team I was responsible for did not respect me and whenever I held out to her asking for advice on how to lead the group, she told me I had to impose myself. I tried talking with my team, I tried several ways of having the 'hierarchy' work. But at this point I couldn't think straight, I made several errors and was not productive.
In the meantime, I noticed that one of the collaborators I was responsible for was the living embodiment of the office-stereotype of 'ass-kisser'. Instead of talking with me, have me review her work, etc., she would directly run to our boss, often lying on who had done what and trying to take credit over things. She would put in extra hours to look good, and slowly started gaining her favor. Ironically, when I approach my boss on that, she said she was aware of her attitude and again told me I should impose myself more and adopt a firm attitude. But at the same time, she maintained the 'private' meetings with that collaborator, and would not tell her that the work she produced should go through me first. There were also situations where she would first give a direction to me by e-mail, and then the same direction to my teammate, personally. To this day, I'm not sure if this was intentional or because she (my boss) was confused, but either way, it led to competitiveness and several misunderstandings.
I grew very tired of everything. I felt like I was stuck in life because I couldn't do my job properly; the pay was (still is) bad, and I couldn't save up a lot, I was in a permanent confused state, and felt I had the obligation to stay there because my boss had put so much faith in me. I became even more depressive to the point of having suicidal thoughts. There were weeks I would arrive at work crying and not being able to do anything. I didn't want any pity or attention - but I was such in state that I was not able to understand how my mood was affecting the team and the work. One day, I arrived in such a bad shape at work, my boss gave me 3 days off. I felt she (the boss) was sympathetic towards my condition and gave me space. During that time, she would say she cared about me as a friend and that she too suffered from a depression for years and understood. I was grateful for her support, and felt even more like I owed her my best efforts.
But despite this, I was having difficulties getting back on track. I missed deadlines and I got slower in performing my tasks. I felt like the biggest piece of crap alive because even with all the support and help from my peers, I wasn't able to do well. Then, one day, after missing several deadlines, I went to talk with my boss. My intention was to inform her on a project that wasn't going so well (due to my fault) and to ask for directions - she completely exploded on me. She accused me of being fake, of not caring of her and the team's image, and of not caring for her as a friend. She said I didn't respect her as a boss and completely disregarded her. I was feeling so clouded, tired and misunderstood, all I could do was crying, without being able to properly talk. That was all I was able to do - cry like a baby - and to this day that moment still haunts me because of how lost and ridiculous I felt. That time was when I got back on meds for about 6, 7 months. During that time, I also had some issues and changes in my personal life that led me to being in an ongoing confused state, mood-swings and inability to think clearly. I was also on the brink of having to find a new apartment, a detail I shared with my boss when I was talking to her about a few personal issues; she offered one of her rooms in her apartment for me to stay, if I ever needed to, and I thanked her for the offer. But I remained constantly tired - both physically and mentally. My family and friends supported me, and my parents were of the opinion I focused too much on work and I that I let it affect me. Slowly I started to gather my thoughts and decided that I wanted to get better, even if just for my parents and friends who supported me. I decided not to be so intense about work - I started leaving on time, ignored the incoming messages after-hours and started to differentiate professional vs. personal life.
But during this phase of pulling myself together, I also started thinking of my relationship with my boss was she really my friend, as in, personal-life-kind of-friend´? We actually never hung out after office hours, nor did we have lunch together; we also didnt have that much fun together and had in overall very different interests. She did help me a lot workwise, but besides that, we had not that much contact. After this realization, I started to have a more professional approach towards her, and avoiding an all too personal involvement.
This was around last summer and truth is, little by little I got a bit better. I got a new apartment, a boyfriend, started to focus more on myself and getting better. Life became more beautiful and I started to want to become better not only because of others, but also for myself.
Meanwhile, and after the 2 years she had promised, a chance came up to get a promotion a chance to receive a little bit more money and a stable job for perhaps the rest of my life. But I needed to be qualified to do so, so I had to undertake an exam, for which my boss helped me by giving me the answers. It is important to mention that, when this opportunity arose, I never asked her (or anyone else) for help I wanted to make it on my own. But on the day of the exam, she came to me with the answers, leaving me both very anxious and confused, especially because it put me in an illegal situation. I now understand that I had the choice to ignore the answers she gave me but I didnt think properly and went with the flow. In the end, I was not caught and everything went out well. Shortly afterwards, she also told me she had put in a good word for me to the higher-up boss; although there is an additional stage to determine who will get the promotion, apparently her boss told her I would get the promotion, but only around the end of (this) year. This all took place in several instances in the last couple of months.
In the meantime, on one of the occasions I was on her e-mail account answering her e-mails, I found out she was going to give a promotion (different to mine) to the co-worker that was part of my team and whom she always said she didnt trust (the ass-kisser I mentioned previously). At this point, I didnt really care about this revelation I was tired of her character, the constant pressure and heavy workload. I felt more and more demotivated and no interest to continue in the community center. Despite the supposed objectives and goals of the community, we rarely worked with the community and most activities were a façade and only implemented in order to present numbers but not real impact. My job consists of painting a nice picture of the situation, and I grew tired of it. Not only is my (current) working contract precarious, the work itself is dishonest with no real retribution to the community. And during this past 2 years, I often tried to have a more honest and correct approached, but whenever I (and also other colleagues) tried to do so, we were brought to attention. This had become a vicious, never-ending cycle, leading to many grey areas within the team and the community center in overall.
I understood that, if I went forward with my promotion process, I would forever be clutched to her together with the extra-hours and extra-workload, stress and mediocre tasks. I decided to not accept the promotion and look for another job. But like any other job, I have several projects and tasks Im responsible for, one of them being especially problematic of course this made me worry, but there had been many times I took over other peoples processes and solved the issues. From my perspective, I didnt think of it as a big issue (but then again, I may have been wrong).
This takes me to last Friday, where I finally had the chance to have a talk with her and let her know I was leaving the community center. She was shocked about my decision, saying me leaving would be a big loss she would be losing her right arm (something she had never said before), and one of the people she trusted the most. But right afterwards, she said I was expendable and she would most certainly find someone to substitute me. When I told her I wanted to leave after a months time (as the contract permits), she said she was deeply disappointed in me for wanting to leave before the problematic project finished, specially after all she did for me, and accused me of being selfish, childish, irresponsible and greedy. Furthermore, she threatened to put a process on me for not concluding the project (which is not possible, as there are no legal obligations involved) and accusing me of wanting to work only until half of march, but getting a full-pay for the month (which can be resolved).
Albeit I maintained myself calm during the whole situation, I was deeply confused and conflicted with myself I am not leaving the center because I want to run from the responsibilities or complicated issues I want to leave because these past 2 and something years were a mess and because there are other and better opportunities out there. But ever since our talk, I feel more and more that I was indeed selfish and that I may have not interpreted her actions well. However, and at the same time, I can only think about how:
- She keeps not respecting the co-workers personal time (sending messages after-hours and during the weekends);
- She makes personal attacks on the co-workers despite the issue being work-related;
- She is constantly preaching morals and accusing the team of not being honest, responsible or caring;
- She is making the team do her work, by giving away her e-mail and task-programme password in order for us to take over them, between other things;
- She doesnt give enough time and/or space for us to learn the tasks that are requested and then literally grounding the team by giving difficult tasks (and then hold us responsible when we do not rise up to her expectations);
- When something goes badly, she brags how she assumed the responsibility for the bad results, but that we have disappointed her and gave her a bad image;
- She bullied two co-workers because she doesnt like them and because they dont work as hard as the rest of the team;
- She has accused me several times of disrespecting her and tried to cross her;
- Etc., etc.
I know this is a long text, but I wanted to try to give a general panorama of the situation, because I am aware I was not entirely correct in my conduct, nor did I speak up for myself when I shouldve (and perhaps avoid several situations). But am I indeed so selfish and irresponsible for wanting to leave now? Am I a bad person? I genuinely care for the team, and I dont want to harm them by leaving in the current conditions and its messing with me thinking that Im being selfish and irresponsible by leaving in the current state of things.
I want to grow as a person but I need to understand whether I am being wrong in my conduct?

Professional Casino Techniques – Counting Cards
Counting cards is a legal and effective way to tip the scales in your favour when playing Blackjack. It was popularised in 1962 when the mathematical prodigy Dr. Edward O. Thorpe published his book Beat the Dealer, which outlined the basic tenets of card counting as well as other successful strategies that can be employed while playing Blackjack. While card counting won't guarantee a win, it can give you the edge over the house and make Blackjack a more profitable game for the player.
Staying Under The Radar
While card counting is neither cheating nor is it illegal, it is – unsurprisingly – frowned upon by casinos. For this reason, it's crucial that before testing your card counting skills in an actual casino, you practice counting at home until you can do it almost automatically. The more naturally card counting comes to you, the less likely you are to be picked up by a casino's security. Despite card counting being legal, casinos can and will ask you to leave if they suspect you are counting cards, and most casinos employ a number of methods to keep card counters out.
The Hi-Lo System
There are a number of card counting techniques in existence, some more complicated than others. The simplest card counting method is probably what is known as the high-lo system, wherein every card is assigned a value: low cards of 2-6 are worth +1, neutral cards of 7 – 9 are worth 0, and high cards of 10-A are worth -1. A card counter will keep a running total of the cards which have been dealt using this system and use it to get an idea of whether there are more high or low value cards left in the deck.
After going through a full deck, a count should stand at 0. If the count stands at a negative number, this means that more high cards have been drawn and more low cards remain in the deck; if the count stands at a positive number, this means that more high cards remain in the deck. A deck with more high value cards increases the odds in the favour of the player, who may be more likely to be dealt a Blackjack or 20, while increasing the chance of the dealer's going bust.
The hi-lo system can be made more accurate by also considering the number of cards remaining in the deck, because the closer to the bottom of the deck you are, the more accurate your card count will be. The simple way to convert your running count into a 'true count' is to first learn to estimate visually how many decks are left in the shoe, and then divide your running count by this number. For example, if your running count stands at +2, and you estimate there to be two decks remaining, you divide +2 by 1 to get +1 – which means the cards are still in your favour, though only just.
Keep It Simple
There are much more complex card counting systems in existence, but generally speaking simpler systems like the hi-lo system are the safest and the most profitable. By keeping your card counting system simple, you are far less likely to get caught out by casinos and more likely to be able to play well and count accurately.

5 Ways to reduce Childhood obesity
Overweight or obese children are more likely to become obese & overweight Adults. Making changes to their diets early and increasing exercise can helpBefore the problem gets out of hand is an important step .
However restricting your child's calorie intake is generally not a good idea though , swapping to nutritious meals is a better way to go .
Here are five ways to help with childhood weight loss
- Restricting your child's calorie intake is generally not a good idea , swapping to nutritious meals is a better way to go . Slowly remove sugars & processed foods from their diets, most processed foods have addictive properties. Children will have cravings while trying to stop eating them , so be patient and keep trying.
- Encouraging your child to eat a variety of healthy foods throughout the day to gradually move toward a healthy weight.
- The goal is a slower rate of weight gain during periods of growth.
- Boost their physical activity level by joining sports teams , family walks , going to playgrounds , going rollerblading .
- Make a healthy lifestyle change for the whole family not just the child.
Children with worsening or persistent obesity have an increased cardiovascular risk later in life. They are more likely to have illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and plaque build-up in the arteries, all of which increase risk for heart disease.
Overweight and obese children who successfully reduced to a normal weight by their 20s had much lower risk than those who stayed overweight. Children who manage to lower their weight by early adulthood had the same risk for high blood pressure and high cholesterol as those who were never overweight.
Health problems for obese children include:
- type 2 diabetes – This condition is most commonly seen in adults, it is now also being diagnosed in children
- eating disorders such as bulimia or binge eating
- orthopaedic disorders – problems with foot structure
- liver problems
- respiratory disorders, blocked airways and restrictions in the chest wall, which cause breathlessness while exercise
- sleep apnoea – difficulty breathing when sleeping. It also causes snoring, waking often and poor sleep.
- cardiomyopathy – a problem with the heart muscle, caused when extra effort is needed to pump blood.
Eating delicious natural foods is the best way to avoid obesity & preventable diseases in the future.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has accredited the embassies of the United States, the United Kingdom and 105 others for the March 28 and April 11 elections.
Most foreign missions in the country have also opened desks for the monitoring of the election, as facts begin to unfold on why the planned meeting between the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, and INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, failed to materialise.
Overall, INEC, according to investigation, has accredited 82 domestic and 25 foreign observers.
Some of those on the list are EU Election Observation Mission; Commonwealth Observers Mission; African Union Election Observation Mission; Germany Embassy; Embassy of France in Nigeria; Embassy of the Republic of Korea; Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford; ECOWAS Mission; High Commission of Canada; Australian High Commission; Embassy of Japan; UNDP/ DGD Project; Ghana High Commission; the International Foundation for Electoral Systems(IFES); Embassy of Switzerland; UN Women; International Republican Institute(IRI) and Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, Kenya.
The rest include NEPAD, FIDA, NAWOJ, Justice Development and Peace Commission(Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria); National Human Rights Commission(NHRC); Police Service Commission; Election Monitor; Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room(Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre); Nigerian Bar Association(NBA) Alliance for Credible Election among others.
A diplomat told The Nation yesterday that foreign interest in the elections stemmed from Nigeria's 'importance to the political and economic development of West Africa.'
'Apart from being the largest in population in the sub-region, Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa. I think about three to four elections will still hold in Africa this year. If democracy survives in Nigeria, it will serve as a beacon for other parts of the continent,' the diplomat said.
'Most of the diplomatic missions have opened monitoring desks for Nigerian elections. We do not want violence; we want a free and fair process.'
Sources said there is no restriction on where the observers may visit while the elections last.
'All the local and foreign observers are free to go to any part of the country to look at how we are going to conduct elections,' one source said.
'We do not restrict or censor them in any manner because INEC is determined to ensure free, fair, transparent and credible general elections.'
The source however said the commission has some monitors on the field to make sure that all the over 600,000 ad hoc staff and other electoral officers live up to expectations.
The Chief Press Secretary to INEC chairman, Mr. Kayode Robert Idowu, said last night that: 'We are ready for the elections. We have accredited 107 observers apart from monitors to be deployed nationwide.
'As for the training of ad hoc staff, we would be concluding it on Saturday (yesterday) or Sunday (today). All hands are on the deck for hitch-free polls.'
Meanwhile, it was gathered that Jega could not meet with the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor because the Bishop failed to follow up his request for the meeting.
A National Commissioner told The Nation that a text message was sent to INEC by someone requesting for audience for the CAN President.
'As the chairman of INEC, any Nigerian can just wake up and send a text to him. Even at that, Jega was cautious and polite in asking for an official letter of request for audience,' the source said.
'The following day, a letter was sent from CAN booking an appointment with the INEC chairman. Without considering the busy schedule of Jega, the letter was specific on the date and time.
'We tried to adjust the schedule of INEC chairman but it was tight. Jega directed INEC's Secretary to reply CAN President that the time fixed was not convenient because the chairman had a prior commitment. The letter was with a caveat of 'let us look at another time' to meet.
'Since then INEC has been expecting a fresh date from the CAN President. But the INEC chairman woke up to read about snubbing of Oritsejafor. It was unfortunate that only one side of the story was presented to the media.
Responding to a question, the source added: 'Jega had met with all religious leaders last year. Even under the aegis of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), Jega had audience with Oritsejafor and others. The Nation

With a weeks-long run up to an allegedly significant partnership, XVG defied the falling markets.
The Verge (XVG) project continued to rally in expectation of the announcement of a partnership on April 16. XVG grew by more than 17% overnight, recovering to $0.045. The asset continued to climb despite the general weakness in overall markets, which saw Bitcoin hover below $7,000.
The coin is up more than 12% in the past week, one of the rare weekly earners as other assets slid. But once again, the recovery is happening on very thin trading volumes, and nothing is certain at this point. What XVG has achieved was to climb to the 4-cents range, at least for now.
In the coming days, the Verge project may rely a lot on the partnership news, and confidence may return at least temporarily. But XVG has also positioned itself as a speculative asset, and buying into the current trend may be risky.
But beyond the planned efforts of the project, the fate of XVG, as well as other digital assets, depends on the general mood of acceptance in the wider community. In 2018, crypto coins may be set for a multiple-month period of low prices, with very thin volumes. And while short-term spikes may not be out of the question, the latest downturn showed that the market goes downward easily, and price spikes are the anomaly.
However, the hype around Verge continues on social media, and may invite new inflows of buyers in the coming days, or older buyers in expectations of a price rise. Yet some coins also fall after an announcement, so buying into Verge may also lead to new losses.
At this point, altcoins with a low price are seen as an appealing bet on a scenario in which their dominance increases and the value rises akin to Bitcoin, but also Ethereum, Monero, and other coins that spent years with a relatively low price.
However, other coins have remained underpriced for years. And now, Verge sees much speculation on its partnership, once again mentioning Amazon as a potential counterparty.

The Pc Muscle
The pubbocxygennus muscle, commonly referred to as the PC muscle, is one in a group of pelvic floor muscles present in both men and women. In men, it stretches from the pubic bone at the front to the tailbone at the back and cradles the internal sexual organs. It has several uses, including playing an important role in bladder control and urinary continence. But what we're going to be looking at in this chapter is how toning the PC muscle and learning how to use it properly can increase your ejaculatory control by over 300%. That's not a typo. Having a well-toned, strong PC muscle as well as being able to use it well during intercourse is one of the best physical ways of improving the control of your orgasm.
Many men are truly surprised when they find out how much of an impact their PC muscle has on their sexual performance and ejaculation response. Here are just a few of the effects having an average or below average PC muscle can have on your sexual abilities.
• Erections that subside easily and are difficult to maintain.
• Weak ejaculations that result in "dribbling" and little orgasmic pleasure for the male.
• Being less able to detect and control arousal and pleasure sensations in the penis, which leads to a build-up of orgasmic tension and finally premature ejaculation.
• Having to wait for long periods of time between ejaculations to "recharge" your sex batteries.
No wonder the PC muscle is often referred to as the fountain of male sexual youth. Each and every effect of having a poorly toned PC muscle hinders your ability to sexually perform for long periods of time and be in full control of when you finish. The great news is, every single man can improve their PC muscle and in turn reverse each of the above effects. They can:
• Develop stronger, rock-hard erections that don't disappear after 10 seconds of taking a break.
PC muscle is often referred to as the fountain of male sexual youth
• Have ejaculations and orgasms that are more pleasurable and pleasurable, as well as turning the "dribble" effect of semen into a more forceful, long-distance shooting style.
• Improve their ability to detect the arousal level in their penis. Couple this with the new knowledge acquired in the Know your body, Know Yourself chapter and you double the effectiveness of the self-awareness technique.
• Shorten the amount of time needed to regain their sexual energy after ejaculation. Then, get an erection and begin sex again.
"All of this from simply improving your PC muscle's health?" You may be asking. The answer is yes – all of those positive changes in your sexual prowess can be achieved by toning the PC muscle and learning how to use it during sex to extend your performance.
But how do you go about exercising an internal muscle such as the pubbocxygennus? The answer: you use an appropriate, tried and tested technique.
If you're looking to build muscle, you lift weights. You want to improve strength in your legs while giving yourself an effective aerobic workout? You use one of those fancy rowing machines. You want to tone your PC muscle and improve practically every aspect of your sexual endurance and ejaculatory control? Then you thank Dr Arnold Kegel for inventing a simple exercise that does just that. It's aptly named after the man himself.

Robin Pronk and his team, the Ajax Under 17s are ready for the second AEGON Future Cup, which is to be played over the coming Easter weekend at the sports complex of the Ajax Academy. Pronk and the team that was then the Under 17s, won the first edition of the tournament in 2010. In spite of this, the coach is playing down the high expectations which are based on last year's tournament victory.
,,You mustn't expect these lads to perform like last year's team, which won by playing beautiful football and winning five matches without a single goal against them.'' Pronk was referring to the exceptional group of players from last year's Under 17s who won the national title with the Under 19's on Saturday. ,,But that doesn't mean we're destined to lose.''
The main difference with last season is that Pronk has a much younger team this year. Pronk: ,,We have four or five first year Under 17s, whereas last year we had all second year Under 17s. These lads simply haven't progressed as far yet. That doesn't mean to say that there's not a number of interesting players in amongst them, they just need more time.''
Pronk's young talents are certainly enthusiastic enough. ,,They are all looking forward to the tournament and the chance to present themselves. That's why I expect a team which is fully motivated.'' The Ajax under 17s begin the second edition of the AEGON Future Cup on Saturday against Fluminense, Deco and Romario's former club. ,,That promises to be an interesting game'', predicts the son of former Ajax player, Ton Pronk. ,,I know a bit about Brazilian football and their youth football is at quite a high level.''
After the opening match against Fluminense, a duel with Ajax' satellite club, Ajax Cape Town awaits the Amsterdam players. Ajax Cape Town arrived in Holland last week. ,,They play the same way we do'', Pronk says, pointing out the most important similarity. ,,They may not be used to playing matches and tournaments at this level, but they are technically skilled players who have been well trained.''
In their last group match, on Sunday, Pronk's men face the notorious Celtic. ,,That will mean typical, British football with the 4-4-2 formation. All those various styles of play, are what make the tournament so enjoyable.'' If the Ajax Under 17s survive the group phase , it will play either Anderlecht, Bayern München, DC United or China U17 in the next round. Everything seems to be in place for an attractive tournament. ,,We are hoping for a larger crowd than last year'', Pronk says to encourage people ti buy a ticket for an afternoon of top class football. ,,Much depends on the weather, of course. It may work to our advantage that we're playing on Sunday morning while Ajax-Excelsior is being played in the Amsterdam ArenA that afternoon. The fact that many people have now heard of the tournament, will make a difference as well.''

We want to hear from YOU!
When you became a new mom (or had your second, third....fifth, etc...little babe),
what's the BEST GIFT you've ever been given?!
Image via Unsplash
For example, for me, someone brought me my favorite sandwhich from my favorite local deli, and my mom sent me an Edible Arrangement. I was constantly starving as a new mom breastfeeding, and having a c-section, I was pretty immoble just coming home from the hospital (I couldn't drive). So those two things, on top of her doing my laundry and dishes, were my ultimate "new mom survivial must haves"!
So, we want to hear from you...it can be something material or something sentimental....
Using your phone, film us a 10-20 video of what your favorite new mom gift has been (or one you've given!) Make sure to film horizontally for submisison to be considered.

Brexit has been one of the main sources of uncertainty for most businesses in the UK since the referendum results were announced in June 2016.
Brexit is an unusual kind of shock as there are many unknown political and economic factors that businesses are having to consider such as the political impasse currently affecting negotiations regarding date of exit, the terms on which the UK will leave the EU, the length of the transitional arrangement and how the longer-term relationship with the EU will look like.
Economic factors of uncertainty include unpredictable and fluctuating currency, supply change issues and dampened investor and economic confidence.
Firms operating in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and retail markets have been significantly affected by Brexit since the referendum results were announced in June 2016.
The immediate depreciation of the pound after the referendum leading to higher import costs combined with higher energy costs, labour costs, higher business rates and, rent prices and interest rates on the one hand and increasing popularity of online shopping on the other have led to record number of store closures.
Even high-profile retailers such as Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Debenham, B&Q & HMV have had to announce major restructuring leading to job losses and store closures.
The B2B firms have also had to deal with uncertainties of Brexit mostly in areas of supply chain & inventory management and stalled investment growth. The risk of large delays and disruptions in circulation and delivery of goods between the EU and UK in the case of a No Deal Brexit has led to a significant reduction in investment in 2018.
The slowdown in manufacturing and construction sectors in the UK were also to some extent affected by these uncertainties. The European automotive industry is one of the most tightly integrated industries in the EU with highly complex supply chains stretching across Europe and production relying on 'just-in-time' delivery.
The European Single Market provides for a high level of economic and regulatory integration for the automotive industry and a No-Deal or hard Brexit would be potentially catastrophic.
Today, motor vehicle manufacturers operate almost 300 plants across the European continent, often manufacturing components such as engines in one country and assembling vehicles in another.
Businesses working in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry are anticipating disruption and delay in the delivery on 'life-saving' drugs and higher costs of raw material in general.
Firms will also expect to be hit by lack or withdrawal of R&D funding from the EU. It is also expected that regulatory changes in this area may cause major disruption to procurement and production of drugs.
In the case of a No-Deal or hard Brexit the UK financial services sector is expected to move around £1tn of assets out of the UK into Europe.
A survey conducted by EY of 222 UK-based financial service firms shows that they anticipate 7000 high-paid jobs to move to EU as a result of Brexit resulting in a £600m loss to the UK treasury. 39% of 222 firms surveyed stated their intentions to relocate some of their departments to Europe as a direct result of Brexit.
Gauging Brexit effect
To better understand the impact of Brexit on UK business the Bank of England, University of Nottingham and Stanford University have set up the Decision Maker Panel, a survey of approximately 7,500 business executives in the UK. Data collected by Decision Maker Panel from approximately 3000 business executives in the UK shows five interesting facts:
- In 2016, 36% of firms recognised Brexit to be one of the top three drivers of uncertainty this figure has risen to 54% in Jan 2019.
- Businesses anticipate Brexit to impact on their costs, exports and sales. According to the survey firms expect total sales to fall by more than 3%, exports to reduce by 2.5%, labour costs to rise by 3.5% and unit costs by over 5% by 2020.
- Since the results of the referendum investment growth in UK businesses has fallen by 6% in the first two years after the referendum
- Employment has fallen by 1.5% in the first two years after the referendum
- The most productive firms expect the biggest negative impact from Brexit. The most productive firms are the ones that are more internationally exposed and therefore whose productivity will be hit the hardest as a result of lower sales and higher costs resulting in a fall in productivity by around 0.5%.
Sage conducted a global survey with YouGov on the topic of Brexit and come up some interesting findings:
- Only 33% of businesses have started preparing for Brexit, 34% don't know how long they'll need and 40% aren't sure when to start preparations.
- Whilst 57% of large businesses are concerned about the impact Brexit on their business only 27% Start-ups seemed to concerned.
- Over 50% of businesses would like more guidance and information on how Brexit will affect three areas of their business namely tax and import duty; safety standards; and personal data storage.
The above facts are hard to deny. Yet, Brexit, in our view, is embedded in wider global trends concerning the crisis of globalisation, decrease in the volume of global trade, especially intra-EU trade, the rise of China and the disruption such rise causes in the transatlantic economies, which are the main drivers of globalisation to which the UK economy belongs.
From this point of view, the British state and its elites have a major task to perform in case hard Brexit turns out to be the only option: advance a coherent new industrial policy for Britain.
This could be driven by a nationalised manufacturing and banking sector, forging new forms of partnership between the public and the private and opening up a new European perspective for the rest of Europe, which still has some Treaty commitments that vaguely remind of democracy and socialism.

In recent years, forming flexible electronic circuits on plastic substrates, including PET, has been studied due to demands for weight reduction and miniaturization of electronic devices. We are currently developing silver pastes with a volume resistivity of 1.0E-06 (Ω·cm) cured at a 150℃, and we will be rolling them out in applications in the future.
As the high function of the electronic device advances, conductive paste which has low-temperature cure, low resistance and high thermal conductivity are required. NAMICS own MO technology enables to sinter Ag at low temperature 150 degree and also get low resistance and high thermal conductivity. This MO technology can meet customer's various requirements.

Ericsson, IBM collaborate on 5G tech
Two firms jointly working on phased-array antenna designs
Ericsson and IBM announced today that they are jointly working on phased-array antenna designs for the 5G cellular standard, which promises to provide many times faster data speeds.
The two companies are working on phased-array antenna techniques to develop prototype systems that will serve mobile users, they said in a joint statement. These designs will enable new services on the same frequency, as well as offer speeds that are comparable to today's cable and wired internet access speeds, they said.
The phased-array design allows for more directional antennas that are electrically steerable and will have significant weight and flexibility advantages over existing mechanical antennas, the statement said.
The outcome of these technological advances will integrate on the order of a hundred antennas and radios on a single chip smaller than a credit card in size, allowing for the use of these technologies for high-capacity small cells in indoor spaces and dense downtown areas.
"Ericsson is performing world-class radio research that will enable the extremely high data rates that will be required in the future. We have already showed 5 Gbps over-the-air in trials back in July," said Thomas Norén, head of product management for radio, Ericsson.
We are also working to solve the size barrier and look forward to developing antenna technology with IBM that will open up possibilities for new uses. We recently launched the industry's most flexible small cell, which allows for concurrent use of multiple technologies.
"Even with its tablet-sized footprint, the form-factor was limited by components inside. This research collaboration will help us enable mobile network builds that provide the right coverage and capacity even in the densest urban environment."
Dr Mehmet Soyuer, manager of the Communication and Computation Subsystems Department at IBM Research, added: "We have accumulated over 10 years of experience in developing radio frequency integrated circuit and packaging solutions, demonstrating highly integrated phased arrays for various applications. We look forward to collaborating with Ericsson to help shape the future of mobile communications."

Cooling Jacket Expansion Link:
Use this Expansion Link with your Cool Zone Cooling Jacket to control fermentation temperatures with larger diameter fermenters such as conicals, kegs, and others up to approximately 18 inches diameter. (Approximately 13"H x 16"L)
Made from neoprene with Hook and Loop fasteners that connect with the Cooling Jacket's fasteners.
Posted by Unknown on 12th Jul 2018
It works well to wrap larger fermenters and adds insulation, but it should match the width of the cooling jacket. It is wider and makes for fitting a bit challenging.
Posted by Mark on 10th Oct 2017
The velcro is super sticky and although I didn't need it for my 30L Speidel, it fits perfectly on my 60L along with the cooling jacket.
Posted by Kurt Landthaler on 19th Jun 2015
I am delighted with my cooling jacket, and this item increases its versatility. Used it on my 60 liter Speidel and it functioned perfectly. Quality construction, and unparalleled level of customer support from Gotta Brew are worthy of more than the five stars I was limited to giving it!
Posted by Aaron on 9th Nov 2014
I am using these for my 15g sanke fermentors and they make it very easy to wrap around them. They make the cooling jacket system very versatile when sizing to different fermentors. They seam very durable and should last me a very long time.

28 Cochrane Street is a three storey wooden house built in the Second Empire style. Located in downtown St. John's, 28 Cochrane Street is a typical downtown home built in 1892-1893. This designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Statement of Significance
Formal Recognition Type
Registered Heritage Structure
Heritage Value
28 Cochrane Street has been designated a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador due to its architectural and historic values. 28 Cochrane Street is architecturally valuable as a good example of a typical late 19th century house in downtown St. John's. Built in the Second Empire or Southcott style, 28 Cochrane Street remains a well preserved example of this style of house. The house features many elements that are characteristic of Second Empire such as a mansard roof, peaked dormers, eaves brackets and intricate door and window detailing. 28 Cochrane Street was built in 1892-1893 on the foundation of a previous building that had burned in the Great Fire of 1892. Since its construction, 28 Cochrane Street has had a number of functions including residence, funeral home, craft shop, rooming house, restaurant and as offices. This house is historically valuable for its association with Andrew Carnell, former mayor of St. John's and original owner of Carnell's Funeral Home. Carnell had an important influence on the City of St. John's during his years as mayor from 1932-1949. Some of his many accomplishments include raising funds for the construction of Memorial Stadium, as well as various efforts regarding water and sewer in the city. Carnell opened the funeral home in this house in 1940 and it was housed here for a number of years. During this period, the house was also used as a residence for the Carnell family.

I love prototyping.
It is the best way to evaluate designs, and it exposes and reveals design assumptions (both known and unknown). A design can look good, and seem good, and explain well, but once it's in a prototype – even a simple one – flaws become easier to spot.
Now, I know I sound a little crazy for saying "I love prototyping because it makes mistakes obvious". Who wants their mistakes to be obvious? But I am firmly on the side of "prototype early, and prototype often", because I want to find mistakes before they go any further.
Picking the right tool for prototyping is key to having a successful prototype.
Paper prototype
I'm talking about this first since it is the "simplest" form. In my human factors program in college, we did this quite a lot, but as a UX designer who works primarily within a design system, it is not my first choice. Paper prototypes are fantastic when:
- Testing new patterns
- Testing novel form factors
- Testing physical devices
It is far cheaper to draw a physical button on a post-it than to construct one.
However, when working with a digital experience, the manual cutting & pasting of a paper prototype takes more time than a lightweight click-through prototype, so I usually jump ahead to that.
Simple click-through
I find that a "simple" click-through prototype generally provides the most "bang for the buck" when it comes to prototyping choices.
For novel experiences, I start with greyscale wireframe-like flats. For things that are more mature or more familiar, I start with flats which match the color and overall look & feel of the design system it is going into. This makes something that is "real-enough" without too much additional work in crafting a prototype.
Watching and observing users interact with a series of flats reveals not only information on what you wanted to test, but also information adjacent to your main goals.
I've used Marvel and XD to make these prototypes and test users.
Interactive prototype
An interactive prototype that looks and behaves like the real system is the holy grail of prototypes. Unfortunately, it requires more effort and time investment than the others.
Generally I use interactive prototypes when testing things that involve data entry (users being able to actually type is great for getting meaningful results) or has visual interactions that are difficult to mock up in a simple click-through. (And is easier to write in HTML/CSS/Javascript than to create a gif!).
Today, I will create these in HTML or work with a developer for more robust code, but I have experience using Axure to create these prototypes as well.

Young playmaker Maxime Lopez says he was wanted as a long-term successor to Philippe Coutinho at Liverpool, only to reject the club's advances
According to French newspaper L'Equipe, Marseille starlet was subject of interest from the Merseyside club at the end of 2016, with Arsenal also pursuing the 19-year-old.
Speaking to French publication L'Equipe, Lopez claimed Jurgen Klopp's side had made an offer, with the incentive of taking over from Coutinho in the future.
"They said to me: 'In five years you get Coutinho's place!'," he is quoted.
"They approached me in a good way. I even met Steven Gerrard at the stadium after a game.
"I wanted to go there, but also to stay at Marseille. To go like that, at this age and even with your family, is very hard.
Lopez has since signed a new long-term contract with Stade Vélodrome club.
Fier d'avoir prolongé avec mon club de cœur! Merci à tous pour votre soutien! Prochain objectif: Rennes samedi! 🙏🏼💙 #TeamOM ⚪Ⓜ #ML27 #2021 pic.twitter.com/uq7fZdsN29

My childhood, teen years, and early twenties were filled with tragedy, traumatic events and a plethora of resulting intense emotions. During my mid twenties and early thirties, I fell madly in love with life. I managed to harness the power of sensual energy along with a variety of holistic healing modalities to overcome the residual negative energy. It was a process that took a toll on myself and my lover, but in the end, it was well worth the effort.
It was as though I had burned in a fire of sadness and mistrust, like the Phoenix bird and found myself transformed. Before my initial transformation, pleasure was an act. Something I performed in order to believe I was satisfied and of course, to pleasure my partner. It is so easy to pretend to feel pleasure….it is much more challenging to truly feel pleasure. To be pleasure.
For many years, my lover Mountain and I experienced a blissful connection. At no time, in fact, has our connection dulled. However, the daily grind of motherhood, and all of the challenges life threw at me left me feeling spent. My mother's friend, who happens to be an art therapist, told me that she thought my stress bank was full. That I was feeling down because I had nothing left to give.
I won't bore you with the depressing details of the ups and downs or the many losses I have suffered over the past couple of years. To do so would force me to relive them and I am moving on, so that would be counter intuitive. What I will share is my recent breakthrough.
I was convalescent for two weeks due to a bout of pneumonia…the pause in my daily life forced me to reflect. While turning my focus inward, I found that the vibrant, sensuous woman I had become was feeling dull and listless. For those of you who have been reading my blog over the past few years, you know that "dull" is not generally a descriptive word used to describe me.
Honestly, looking at my true inner reflection scared the shit out of me. Even my daughter mentioned in passing that, since I stopped offering Intimacy Coaching sessions or leading TantraDance, that I was not the same woman she knew to be her mother. My daughters wise words gave me the incentive I needed to dig deep and transform.
I re-read some of my favorite chapters in Tantric Orgasm for Women…talked openly with Mountain about what I was feeling and chose a course of action. In the past I had experienced such awe-mazing success using orgasm and sexual exploration, that it made sense to at least try to utilize these techniques to re-discover the wild woman within.
What unfolded was profound and earth shatteringly erotic. I will share more later, but life calls! That;s all she wrote…from my heart to yours, Joy

Yesterday I brought New Jersey to the local pond and Maja was kind to make some video. Here is the first:
It was at no time going full throttle. I hope it will give an idea of the performance it has achieved. Thanks for looking
New Jersey crewTamiya BB 62 New Jersey Posted on Jun 19, 2011 17:54:54
Last Monday Maja and I put some crew on New Jersey. I had selected service dress white because I believe I am going to use New Jersey at summer time, so my crew should be dressed properly. More info on US. Navy uniforms here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniforms_of_the_United_States_Navy.
Currently the crew consists of 48 members.
Here are some pictures. My camera ran out of power – sorry.
Thanks for looking.
New Jersey maiden voyageTamiya BB 62 New Jersey Posted on Jun 05, 2011 14:44:48
Today the weather was perfect to make the maiden voyage for New Jersey. Almost no wind, no waves and bright sunlight. As I was expecting it would be difficult to mount the battery at the pond, I decided to mount it at home. And just as I expected, the hull railing was in trouble. It came loose tow places and had to be fixed. before I would go anywhere.
When I arrived at the lake and tried out New Jersey, everything went fine The ship looks good on the water and handled well.
Here are some pictures I took with my cell phone:

Pictures of New Jersey completedTamiya BB 62 New Jersey Posted on May 29, 2011 16:46:53
I brought New Jersey along to work last Friday to take some photos. Unfortunately some railing came off before the shooting. I hope it isn't too evident in the pictures. Sten Carlsen joined me and did some of the photos below. Still no crew, I am working on it. I am also waiting for the maiden voyage.
Thanks for looking
New Jersey completed!Tamiya BB 62 New Jersey Posted on May 20, 2011 17:41:55
This Wednesday I completed the New Jersey build Sorry, no pictures yet, and I haven't tried it out yet. It may still need some balancing to look right on the water.
I might still do some rigging and I might also add some crew. I have 144 crewmen that just needs painting to be ready. I don't think I'll add all 144 crewmen though They can also be painted to match my Yamato and other 1/350 boats.
New Jersey almost completedTamiya BB 62 New Jersey Posted on May 14, 2011 17:16:02
The latest project on New Jersey has been to put the railing on the hull. I decided to put it on the outside of the hull top instead of on top. That will hopefully give a little extra clearance when putting the deck on. Then I also made some entrances for the anchor chains. For that I used some Tamiya epoxy putty. It was the first time with the putty for me, but it seemed to work out OK. Epoxy putty also seems quite useful for other situations.
The pictures also show the Seahawk helicopter. I haven't fixed that yet. The same goes for the link 11 antenna at the bow. I don't want to fix the link 11 antenna before I have the anchor chains completed.
Then I still need to add some antennas and if I want, add some crew.
Thanks for looking
New Jersey newsTamiya BB 62 New Jersey Posted on Apr 26, 2011 15:21:35
I have been working on getting New Jersey completed. The lower deck is now almost in place and working as I intend. A bit more silicone and it is hopefully done. A functional test will be conducted at this point. The upper deck attaches nicely to the lower deck. No risk of loosing that I believe. Furthermore there should be very little risk of water ingress.
Further I have been working on the link 11 antenna. I believe it is complete. Then I am working on one of the helicopters and on the anchor chains. One in place so far. Waiting for the glue to set.
The upper deck is stitched together in one piece. This was also some project. I had to remove extra deck material and use extra polystyrene pieces to ensure good joints.
It is now also for certain that this boat is New Jersey. I put the name and hull number decals on the hull and secured them with some matt varnish.
Then I am of course missing some details that I intend to put on as the last. For one thing the hull side railing is missing. Then I could add some crew.
I hope to bring some pictures soon.

Setting Recycling Goals In Your Home
In 2018, multiple companies and governments alike have set recycling goals in an effort to reduce how much waste is sent to landfill. Princes, one of the UK's largest producers of plastic bottles have pledged to recycle over 50% of their bottles in just four months. The government itself has set a target of recycling 65% of Urban waste by 2035, but how can you commit to better recycling in your own home?
Divide the work
At home, it's normal to share out the chores amongst the family, so take the same approach to recycling. On average, families recycle 47% of their waste but there is no doubt this figure could be improved. If possible, assign roles based on materials or rooms to get the whole family involved in recycling. You may be surprised how much is recyclable and how you could be recycling more materials than you currently are. So, divide out the different areas of your home and begin taking action now.
Where to find recyclables at home
Each room in your house will have different materials that you should divide up and dispose of correctly. Take for instance your bathroom - there are an array of recyclable plastics which many people throw in their rubbish bins. Shampoo, body wash and even some toothpaste containers can all go in your recyclable waste container, usually a blue bin. You may need to remove labels but by and large you can save this type of waste from landfill. Aside from containers, toothbrushes, shower curtains and toilet roll tubes can all be made from recyclable materials, just be sure to check with your local council.
Your kitchen is also an area with great green potential; glass jars, non-greasy cardboard containers and even pots and pans are just some examples of salvageable materials. Certain papers and kitchen rolls can be recycled and some are already made from pre-used materials. If, as summer approaches, you begin using BBQ cutlery check the packaging to ensure you buy items that can be recycled.
While assigning roles and dividing up the recycling amongst family or flatmates may seem like a lot of work, it can be enjoyable. With your children, why not create some charts or system to measure how many bottles or jars you are recycling? Even use recyclable materials to measure your progress and add an element of enjoyment to your recycling.
Some centres will actively reward you for donating clothes and more recently plastics - see one great example here. When you reach targets or clear out your old wardrobes, treat those involved in your domestic recycling to ensure you keep up the good practices. Did you know that the UK has hundreds of cash-for-clobber schemes that reward individuals and schools for certain materials?
At ReGen Waste, we have processed in excess of 1.5m tonnes of waste and we are always trying to build on this figure. Our targets may be slightly above what the average family can produce, but we strive to inform and educate people on how their small changes can have a huge impact. Keep up to date with our work here.

…So we, thank God, don't have to:
#LizAndDick: My review – by Ken Levine
I only hope that when they do the Lindsay Lohan TV biopic – and they will – that it's as jaw droppingly atrocious as LIZ AND DICK. They will need to find the worst actress in America to play Lindsay, if only to do the same justice to her as she did to Ms. Taylor. Although I don't know if a worse actress can be found. Lindsay might have to play herself – assuming she's still with us and not locked up somewhere.
LIZ AND DICK (by the way, never, not once are they referred to as Liz and Dick in the movie – it's always Elizabeth and Richard) is the cheese-rich schlock film of the year. Imagine Ed Wood directing a screenplay by a 7th grader and starring, well… Lindsay Lohan.
The only question was: yeah, it's fun watching a trainwreck for awhile. But could I stick it out until the very end? So I wrote this review in real time knowing that at any point I might just have to shut it off and plunge an ice pick in my head. These were my impressions as the movie unraveled.
Oh… SPOILER ALERT. I spoil everything. So if you don't want to know what happens, I'll see you tomorrow. But I believe in this case you're going to want to know what happened. Either you're not going to see this tripe anyway or once you read this you'll be compelled to see it because you think I'm making all this up. Further WARNING – this is the type of movie that brings out the snark in me in a big big way. Ready? Here goes:
This guy is Richard Burton? He's like Jim from THE OFFICE with a phony accent. (Grant Bowler is his name. He should fire his agent.)
When was Richard Burton blonde? Or am I just being too picky about minor details?
Best TV movie review ever. And, really, what is with Burton's blonde hair?
But to answer Ken's question: Burton was blonde when he played Alexander the Great. Goldfinger-type blonde. It was, well, kinda like Lindsay's voice:

TRÀ VINH — This southern province will support the development of 15,000 private enterprises by 2030, officials have said.
The province strives to have 4,000 private firms by 2020 and 7,500 private firms by 2025, according to the provincial development plan for the private economic sector for the 2011-20 period.
Under the plan, the private economic sector will contribute VNĐ12 trillion (US$533 million) to the provincial State budget during the 2016-20 period, 3.3 times higher than its contribution in the 2011-15 period.
Trà Vinh has built many solutions to achieve targets, including the creation of favourable investment and business environments for enterprises, the improvement of enterprises' ability to enter the market and the promotion of the private economic sector's fair competition.
The province will have solutions in place to help the private economic sector renew production technology and develop human resources, improve labour capacity and increase the efficiency of State management.
The province has invested in the infrastructure of Định An Economic Zone and the Cổ Chiến and Cầu Quan industrial parks.
Departments have implemented the electronic one-stop-shop model and provided online public services, especially online tax declaration and payment. This action will encourage individual households to convert to private enterprises.
Sơn Thị Ánh Hồng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Trà Vinh, said that in the 2011-15 period, the provincial private economic sector contributed over VNĐ3.625 trillion to its State budget. Trà Vinh currently has more than 1,900 enterprises and more than 60,000 individual business households. However, some 98 per cent of them are small and medium enterprises.
In the 2012-16 period, the province established 1,192 new businesses but also dissolved 499 enterprises due to ineffective operation. — VNS

Mr Ofori Amanfo, the Assembly member for Yaabem North in Agona West Municipality has called on the Assembly to provide residents with tools to undertake clean-up exercises in the area.
He said they were eager to mobilise residents to undertake clean-up exercises daily in their communities, but lacked logistics.
Mr Amanfo made the call when he spoke with journalists to express his worry about the pile-up of refuse in the Agona West Municipality, which was causing diseases among the people.
He said: "We love to see to it that every day is declared as national sanitation day as was proclaimed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to all Ghanaians, but the assembly is not providing us the tools to work to make the towns and villages in the municipality clean."
The National Sanitation Day came into inception in 2015 to ensure that Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies teamed-up with other stakeholders to tidy their various areas.
Meanwhile, residents of Agona Swedru have boycotted the monthly National Sanitation Clean-up exercise with the reason that the assembly was doing little to solve sanitation problem in the Municipality.
According to sources at the Assembly, the last Saturday's exercise held on October 6, this year, was attended by a skeleton staff of Agona West Municipal Assembly and Zoomlion Ghana Limited including only three out of 16 Assembly Members.
The sources said the participants were addressed by Nana Esieni, Nifahene of Swedruman Council of Chiefs, Mr Frank Abban, the Presiding Member of the Assembly and Mr George Freeman, the Head of the Agona West Municipal Environmental Health and Sanitation.
Mr Abban said sanitation issues needed collective efforts from all and sundry and urged residents of the municipality to put their shoulder to the wheel to help keep the environment clean.
Nana Esieni expressed worry about the attitude of the residents of Agona Swedru for failing to actively participate in the clean-up exercise and entreated them to put a stop to such act, giving the assurance that the Sanitation Committee of the Council would liaise with the Assembly to ensure that the area was kept tidy to prevent outbreak of diseases.
Mr George Freeman, said the Assembly had gazetted its bye-laws that would empower it to arrest and prosecute sanitation offenders and his outfit had embarked on a programme at churches, mosques, market places and other social gatherings to educate the people on them.

POLL RESULTS: Which 20th Century Fox Franchise Should Disney Prioritize?
This week 21st Century Fox announced that the $71.4 billion deal with the Walt Disney Company had reached completion. With that in mind, ComingSoon.net asked our readers which one of the major 20th Century Fox movie franchises they would like to see Disney prioritize now that they have ownership, and over 5000 of you responded! Check out the poll results below to see which Fox movie series our readers want the most… and the least!
RELATED: POLL RESULTS: Should Tim Burton and Michael Keaton Make a Third Batman?
#1. X-Men (32%, 1614 votes)
#2. Fantastic Four (22%, 1133 votes)
#3. Alien (14%, 716 votes)
#4. Avatar (14%, 712 votes)
#5. Deadpool (8%, 382 votes)
#6. Planet of the Apes (3%, 166 votes)
#7. Predator (2%, 117 votes)
#8. Die Hard (2%, 96 votes)
#9. Kingsman (2%, 80 votes)
#10. Night at the Museum (1%, 31 votes)
#11. Ice Age (0%, 25 votes)
So as you can see, there's a lot of X-citement from CS readership over what Marvel Studios will do to integrate those uncanny X-Men and all their offshoots into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There's also a surge of intrigue over what Kevin Feige can do with Fantastic Four after the team has struck out three times in its 1994, 2005 and 2015 incarnations. The biggest surprise may have been how popular the Alien franchise still appears to be, despite the fan disappointment with Alien: Covenant. Is it too late to bring Sigourney Weaver back? Speaking of which, James Cameron's Avatar franchise (currently with four sequels in production) came in at #4, and given that Disney has Avatar all up in their theme parks it's a sure bet they will treat it right. Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool will hopefully maintain its R-rated luster now that it's under the Mouse House roof, though we're not sure what the status of Drew Goddard's planned X-Force is at this point.
The rest of the entries did not fare so well. Planet of the Apes finished a successful run as a trilogy in 2017, but it's hard to figure where it can go from here now that Andy Serkis' Caesar is dead and the series is without an anchor. Shane Black's 2018 sequel The Predator did little to ingratiate fans with its oddball characters and promise of an Iron Man-esque Predator Killer suit. Even though the Die Hard prequel-sequel McClane is in active development there isn't much interest in Bruce Willis shooting bad guys dressed in a wife beater. Matthew Vaughn's prequel Kingsman: The Great Game and a planned sequel Kingsman 3 are apparently flying into theaters on a wave of apathy. Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum franchise might be best if it remains a trilogy. At the bottom of the list is poor Ice Age coming in with 0% of the vote… that's cold.
RELATED: POLL RESULTS: Should Maya Hawke Play B.B. in Kill Bill Volume 3?
As the agreement was being settled last year, it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that Disney intended to release any films amidst production at Fox. Of course, whether Disney will eventually phase out Fox properties that do not fit with their particularly family-friendly image remains to be seen. Only time will tell what precisely Disney will do—or not do—with its wide variety of newfound properties.
Keep reading ComingSoon.net for future details on Disney's acquisition of the 21st Century Fox assets! What do you think of the poll results? Let us know in the comments below!
