NORTH SEWICKLEY TOWNSHIP -- Guy Prestia, 91, has vivid, if sometimes awful, memories of his years in service, among them the sight of comrades being killed by their own bayonets or shot dead by their own troops.
When Prestia, of North Sewickley Township, was drafted in 1942 he was a machinist working at National Tube Co. He was eligible for a three-month deferment but decided that he might as well just go and get it over with.
He took his basic training at Camp Wheeler, Ga., where he became a infantryman trained in all kinds of weapons. He ended up being a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) man.
He shipped out aboard the USS Thomas Jefferson, which was part of a five-ship convoy. After landing in North Africa his group trained for amphibious landings.
On July 10, 1943, his unit invaded Sicily during a storm with breakers 13 feet high. It was not an easy landing. The unit lost a lot of men climbing down the nets to get into landing boats as some boats turned over and men drowned.
�We were in the boat and we were told to fix bayonets. We were to land on the beach but we hit a rock. Men were killed and injured because when the boat hit the rock the men were thrown forward and some were stabbed with the bayonets,� Prestia said.
�I had the BAR, and it doesn�t have a bayonet. I was glad it didn�t have a bayonet.�
Two days later the men took Comiso Airfield, and a day later they were told to watch for a German paratrooper attack. It was an extremely foggy night and when they heard planes coming over the men began to fire.
�When it got light it was horrible. We could see they were our airmen hanging dead in the olive trees. We had shot down our own,� Prestia said. �It is a sad thing.�
The incident was one of the tragedies of war and there was a lot of trying to place the blame, Prestia said, but there were a number of factors, including poor communication.
After they were there for a while Prestia and his comrades could tell what kind of plane it was by the sound of the motors.
�Gen. George Patton was our general, and we had to be dressed right and have on neckties. He said, �When my soldiers get killed I want them to look like a soldier.� He was a good leader,� Prestia said.
There were many battles in Sicily as they fought their way to Palermo and secured it. On the main street of the town was a very large building used as a hotel. Bob Hope and Frances Langford, members of a USO group there to entertain the troops, were staying at the hotel.
The Germans tried to bomb the building, but the bomb landed in the street and left a huge crater.
�The entertainers really put their lives in danger,� Prestia said. �While I was there I saw Marlene Dietrich, George Raft and boxer Primo Carnera.�
Prestia also was at the battle of Monte Cassino, during which the Germans used the Monte Cassino monastery as an observation post to fire on the men in the valley below. Foxholes were important, and two men dug the foxhole together as one carried a folding shovel and the other a pick. The men shared the hole and slept back to back sharing the one blanket.
Prestia was on amphibious landings in Salerno, Italy, under Gen. Mark Clark.
�We got Stars & Stripes, a newspaper, once in a while and there was a story about Gen. Clark�s wife writing to tell him to be careful, dress warmly and all that. He wrote back, �You take care of turning the chops and let me fight this war,� � Prestia said.��
After many bloody battles they returned to Naples, Italy, and ended up at Anzio. The fighting was fierce, and many were killed.
Prestia�s friend and fellow soldier Ray Zuber of Petersburg, W.Va., was injured when a round struck his helmet, shattering it, and took out his eye. There was no way to get medical attention for three days. Sometime later at a replacement camp Prestia saw Zuber and laughed. Zuber had one blue eye and one brown eye. The blue eye was glass. Zuber said it was just there to keep the socket open until he got to the United States.
Twenty years later Prestia visited Zuber at his home in West Virginia, and he had two brown eyes. They had a lot to talk about.
In Germany, Prestia was one of the men who liberated Dachau Concentration Camp. He will never forget the sight of bodies stacked up and 31,000 people starving.
�We were men hardened by battle; we had seen many men killed and wounded,� Prestia said. �Many soldiers started to cry, many vomited and some did both.�
The soldiers were not allowed to give those they had freed anything to eat. They had to be slowly nourished back to health and cared for. The soldiers could give them cigarettes, however, and many were anxious to get them.
Three years ago Prestia, along with 120 others, was honored at a ceremony at the Holocaust Memorial Museum a ceremony in Washington, D.C., by President Barack Obama and Gen. David Patraeus.
Born and raised in Ellwood City, he graduated from Lincoln High School in January 1940. Prestia retired from Aetna Standard after 32 years.
He is married to Patricia Dawson, and they have eight children, 21 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.

Last night was pretty fun. :]
Staying up until 4:30am, even though you have to work at 10am, getting less than 4 hours of sleep to spend time with people you love and actually not being tired for work is also pretty fun.
And then reality hits you.
And you realize that it happened again. It's just another game.
You're always playing this fucking game, and you're not as good as you think you are, so you're the one getting played.
I'm so tired of people telling me how pretty I am.
Really? Because sure, maybe I'm pretty. Pretty enough to fuck, but not pretty enough to date.
This is how it always happens.
"I just don't want a girlfriend right now" roughly translates to "I don't want to be with you, but I want to keep fucking you"
I'm not even saying this like I'm sitting here fucking people. I mean it with even just like anything remotely sexual or whatever.
Ha, this always happens. I should be used to it right?
I'm just a toy, really.

Dig Safely - Please Call Before You Dig
Whether your a licensed contractor or a homeowner/landowner, you are required by law (NRS 455) to notify your local one-call utility notification center at least two working days (48 hours) prior to any digging/excavating.
When digging or excavating, people either neglect or decide not to call to request for underground utilities to be located and marked. And it may be for the simple reasoning that this may cause project delays, additional costs, or the assumption that there are no underground utilities in the area or that prior area project calls would suffice. Following this reasoning may result in leading to hazardous consequences. To help address this issue, a new, Federally-mandated, national "Call Before You Dig" number has been created to help protect you from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while digging or excavating. Now you just simply need to dial "811" to reach your local one-call center, regardless of where you are digging.
Just follow the four simple steps:
1) Call before you dig.
2) Wait the required time for facilities to be marked.
3) Respect the marks.
4) Dig with care.
If for any reasons you are not connected to your one-call center by dialing 811, you may dial 1-800-227-2600.
Remember, just call 811 - Its FREE, its the safe thing to do & it is the LAW.
If you don't call, it could result in hitting an underground utility line that in the least could result in disruption of utility service for you and/or you're neighborhood. At worst, it could cost the life of yourself, a worker or an innocent bystander.
If you would like to obtain further information regarding Call Before You Dig, please visit any of these following web-sites:
Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 455
If you have any problems or concerns regarding the Building & Safety web-site, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Internal wrangling dampens Ondo APC's excitement over Edo victory
• Agunloye wants Ondo people to vote for progress, not crisis
Buoyed by the victory of Edo State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), in the governorship election held on Wednesday, members of the party in Ondo State are excited that such feat could be reenacted in the November 26 governorship election.
However, they are troubled that it would be a herculean task given the fluidity of the party in the state arising from the squabbles over its primaries.
The fears are that if the leadership do not come together to forge a common front, the party might end up having a repeat of the 2012 defeat rather than the an encore of the Edo success.
The crisis rocking the Ondo APC is far from over after the September 3 governorship primary that was won by former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu.
Unfortunately for the party, the crisis trailing the primary has escalated even beyond Ondo. The national leaders are at each other's throat with former governor of Lagos state, Bola Ahmed Tinubu taking a swipe at the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, as well as calling for his resignation.
In another turn, one of the aggrieved governorship aspirants, Chief Olusola Oke, who left the PDP to the APC few years ago, has officially dumped the party for the Alliance for Democracy (AD) to realize his ambition.
Oke came third in the primary election.The APC, which contested the 2012 governorship election in Ondo, as Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) before the 2014 merger, faced similar case when Akeredolu was imposed on other aspirants as the party's candidate.
Majority of the ACN governorship aspirants in 2012 left for other parties to realize their ambition while those who stayed exhibited indifference towards the election. The party subsequently lost woefully to the then ruling Labour Party (LP) and the incumbent governor, Dr. Segun Mimiko.
While Oke has taken the bold step to leave APC, his colleagues like Senator Ajayi Boroffice and Segun Abraham were alleged to be playing the ostrich game pending when the leadership of the party would resolve the imbroglio.
Justifying his exit from the APC, Oke explained that his defection was necessitated by the injustice perpetrated by some leaders of the party during the primary.
Addressing his supporters drawn from the 18 local government areas of the state, he said he waited patiently for the leaders to correct the injustice but they were not forthcoming hence "I have to opt out."
While some members of the party in Ondo taunted Oke's exit as a usual trait of persons with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) background, there is also the fear that many of the APC governorship aspirants may follow the footstep of Oke before October 19 deadline when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would close the submission of name of candidates by parties.
It is also being alleged that most of them have made up their mind to stay back in the party but that they would work against Akeredolu and the APC's interest in the election.For instance, sources alluded that Oke's exit may have had the backings of Tinubu and Senator Boroffice. While Tinubu is expected to provide the logistics for Oke in the race, the position of nominating the running mate to Oke would be conceded to the Senator.
However Oke, who was a former national legal adviser to the PDP, said he was contesting for the governorship election to rescue the people of Ondo from underdevelopment. He said AD is home of the progressives.
Wondering why some leadership of the APC would embrace mediocre, Oke noted that the PDP has been celebrating the decision of the APC to field Akeredolu as the party's candidate in the election.
Some members of the party said for it to repeat what it did in Edo come November 26 "it must settle down for its best to confront the ruling party in the election."
But the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), said his party would retain the governorship seat. Speaking during a road show after INEC pasted his name as the party's authentic candidate, Jegede boasted that he would win with wide margin. Addressing a crowd of supporters in Ondo town, he noted that the massive turnout indicated that he is a popular choice for the poll.
According to him, "What is happening today is a confirmation of what we all know that I am the only candidate of the PDP and the fact that PDP's candidate has generated some form of interest because I won't call it dispute, also confirmed to me that PDP is a party to beat.
To him, nobody will show interest if the party is not popular, saying: "I wonder why everybody is interested in PDP's candidate. There was a transparent primary here in Akure, it started in the morning, concluded in a in the evening, and a winner emerged and that was my self.
"INEC was present both from Akure here and INEC from Abuja, security agents were also there and it was opened for all to see and that to me, was a confirmation that what we have done was transparent and lawful.
"Look at the level of support demonstrated by the people both young and old and I am excited by this affirmation and confirmation of friendship by the people who represents voters in Ondo State.
"I believe that this demonstration of support is also a call to duty in its own way. That we will more than ever before be committed on the need to serve our people and ensure that we make life better for all."
But waiting to catch in on the controversies within the APC and the PDP over their primary, former Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Dr. Olu Agunloye, the Social Democratic Party's (SDP) governorship candidate said what the state and its citizens need now is a committed person that would bail it out of the present economic crisis "it found itself in the last eight years."
Agunloye who spoke with The Guardian said it was important to see the challenges confronting the state beyond the internal wrangling in the PDP and the APC "I will urge my people to vote for commitment, integrity and seriousness because our state needed to be developed."

Media confusion over how to discuss education
BBC NEWS | Education | Heads' tough warning on Diploma
You will notive by the history that it seems to be alternate 'good' and 'bad' stories about the diploma. If there is low uptake, then it is becuase parents don't know what it is. Maybe then, the media might be a good place to help people understand what the diplomas are…
Just a thought. I mean, not like it's a big thing or anything. Or maybe reporters don't know what it is?

We just gotta make some items for it and figure out how we want to implement them exactly. Just sold from vendors? Some cube recipe? We'll see, it's not really a big topic, we just haven't got to it yet.
Implementing the choice of which item graphic is way harder and will not be implemented. Not only would it make no sense to have your character's head display a bone helm when you're wearing a circlet, but the implementation would be tedious and difficult to code in. I'd rather spend that much development time on features that are worth it for the time invested.
Also the str/dex bug was fixed.
Alright, thanks for the answer! Cool to hear that dyes are already a thing on your list.
I can totally understand that it would be too tedious to change the looks of visible items.
But what do you think about cosmetic effects (glowing, auras etc) from charms for some end game content? I'm just curious.
When I muled some stuff 2 days ago, my Sin was shown naked though, so I thought that the str/dex bug was still a thing.

Marketing Revamp
Every new design is going to draw attention to your business in one way or another. By knowing what you want to emphasize you will have more control over what gets attention from your audience.
A marketing revamp or redesigning of any marketing materials whether on or offline, above or below the line can be a very involved process, and it is important to properly plan and consider the necessary factors that will make or break the redesign which is our our brand strategists and designers at Marked Perception can help. Here is a quick look at factors that you should be contemplated.
What is the goal of the Market Revamp?
What do you hope to accomplish? It's always important to have a clear understanding of your reasons and motivations as they should impact the decisions that you make along the way. Without knowing these goals the project will lack direction and you will likely wind up with with literature or a website that still doesn't meet your companies needs.
Is this going to be just a minor upgrade or a complete overhaul of your exhausting marketing?
A redesign could be anything from a minor facelift to an entirely new look. Obviously the time, effort, and cost involved will vary, but first you should determine what types of changes are required to your marking for you to meet your goals with the design. If a complete redesign is done you will also want to consider to what extent the new design should resemble the old design. If existing customers are coming back to you for a repeat product or service, chances are you will want them to notice the new design style without feeling like they've never done business with you before.
What aspects of your current design are most effective?
Most likely there are some things about your current designed literature or website that work very well, and these may be aspects that you would like to keep or incorporate into the new design. It's a good idea to make a simple list of your likes and dislikes to help with decisions on the new design when speaking to your designer.
What aspects of the current design are not effective?
Building on what aspects are important, if you are redesigning the your sales and marketing literature or website you are bound to want to get rid of some specific aspects of the website or the design that aren't productive. Are there some characteristics of the design that do not accurately portray your business to new visitors in the way you are wanting to be perceived? Remember it is all about perception.
Who are your target users?
During any design process you never want to lose focus on your audience. By knowing who you are targeting and how you can meet their needs, you will be on your way to creating effective marketing materials or a website. So it is important to consider what style of design are your audience to like?
How can the website be more user-friendly?
Improving the functionality and usability of a website or the way your content appears within a brochure is always a good thing. It's pointless to spend time and money on a redesign that looks great but simply isn't easy to navigate around in the case of a websit or does not explain the content order clearly in a brochure.
Does your logo or branding need to be changed or updated?
Most likely your sales literature or website will include some form of your logo or branding. Are these items still up-to-date and will they work effectively with your new designs? If your logo or corporate identity is out-of-date and not attractive, a new design may not do much good if it is still using the same old logo or brand.
Should the color scheme change or remain the same?
We have already mentioned mentioned that most of the time you will want to keep some elements of your design looking familiar in order to stay connected with repeat clients. Using a similar colour scheme is one of the best ways to accomplish this. A lot of times it can be a good idea to make some minor changes to the color scheme, such as changing shades of colors or adding a few new colors, just to give your literature or website a fresh look, but at the same time it is important to stick to your brand or corporate colours.
What should be the focal points of the design?
Every design is going to draw attention to certain parts of the brochure or website in one way or another. By knowing what you want to emphasize you will have more control over what gets attention from your audience.
What does your audience want from your marketing literature?
Meeting the needs of your audience is important to the success of any marketing campaign or sales team. Will your audience be coming to your site or picking up your brochure looking for information? If so, make it easy to find the information and make it a prominent part of the design. Will your audience be looking for a products? Or will they be looking for some other reason? Anticipate what your audience will want and do your best to give it to them.
What will make your audience make an enquiry or want to come back at a later date?
Most likely you've considered how the new design can make a solid first impression, but what is it about your literature or website that will ensures your audience makes an enquiry or will come back to visit your site for more information?
If you re able to answer these questions then you are more than half way there. However if you are struggling then you need to talk to our team. Either way Marked reception has the experience you'll need to point you in the right direction and help you revamp your on or offline presence.

Budget Proposal 2018/19: Citizens Advice West Berkshire
This consultation is now closed.
This is one of three budget proposals for 2018/19. You can view the full list online.
We have a service level agreement with Citizens Advice West Berkshire (CAWB), to provide services for people in the district needing support and guidance with a range of financial advice relating to:
- Debt worries
- Benefit enquiries
- Housing and employment problems
- Concerns about consumer or tax issues
CAWB also provides:
- Advice on legal matters
- Advice on immigration
- Advice on family and personal matters
- Support for carers
CAWB currently run drop-in sessions three days a week, and their website offers a wide range of advice and information. *Face-to-face support is available to anyone who requires advice. There are 27 advisors, all of whom are volunteers. There are 1.5 FTE paid caseworkers along with a small number of other paid staff.
CAWB provided support to approximately 3,500 clients last year.
*Information updated 8 December 2017
Legislation requirements
The advice and support services provided by CAWB are not statutory in nature. This proposal does not therefore conflict with any legislation.
CAWB will operate within their own governance framework, but from a legislative perspective there is nothing which requires us to provide the services offered by CAWB.
What are we proposing?
To reduce the annual core funding to CAWB from £120,000 to £40,000 for 2018/19.
What do we think the impact will be?
We are aware that Universal Credit will be introduced by the government in December 2017, and that this will initially impact on new claimants and individuals whose circumstances change. The Department of Works and Pensions (DWP) is expecting councils to provide appropriate money management support and advice, although it is expected that the roll out of this new, all-encompassing benefit, will impact on CAWB as well.
CAWB may have to reassess the range of advice and support that they currently provide, and it may be that people needing advice will have to wait longer for an appointment. CAWB will also have to continue to liaise with the DWP over their concerns for managing clients in receipt of Universal Credit.
Whilst it is difficult to estimate the number of individuals who will receive Universal Credit in the first phase, what is known from the early pilots is that people who are referred by the DWP to local authorities for money management advice and support, do tend to present with more complex debt management issues. Resolving these problems takes considerably more time than the two hours per client that the DWP are able to provide funding for. This could potentially impact on CAWB, who have the expertise to manage clients with these complex debt management issues.
We are aware that CAWB have reduced the footprint of their office space at Broadway House, Newbury and have other proposals in place to reduce their costs. It is also understood that reserves will be used to support day to day activity.
Please refer to the Equality Impact Assessment Stage One [338kb] for more details.
What else have we considered?
We have met with CAWB and it is clear that if this proposal proceeds, they will have to reconsider the scope of the support and advice that they can offer. The roll out of Universal Credit will impact initially on new claimants or where an existing claimant's circumstances change. However, at this time it is difficult to estimate the number of claimants that will be impacted by Universal Credit.
Why we want your views
We would like to hear from you as to how this proposal could potentially impact on you and on the wider community. In particular, we would be interested in any views you have on how we can minimise the impact of this proposed change.
Please note: Twitter and Facebook posts will not be considered as a valid response.
What you told usWe received 263 responses (incl. 13 incomplete responses) to the consultation. A background to the proposal and outline of the responses can be found in the Consultation Summary Report.
What we didAn Equality Impact Assessment Stage Two was completed following the consultation.
A recommendation on how to proceed with this proposal, was made at the Full Council meeting on 1 March 2018.

Wedding photography has changed dramatically since the invention of the camera. Stiff and formal cookie-cutter poses were the norm decades ago. But now, imagination is encouraged to flash from behind the lens. Wedding picture frames are filled with creative shots capturing the uniqueness of every wedding.
1. Candid/Impromptu – Posed pictures still fill photo albums, but these shots should be spiced up with some candid ones to bring out the fun.
2. Before the Procession – It's been ingrained in us to snap away continuously during the procession down the aisle. Of course you want to capture these moments, but they can be as boring as stiff soldiers marching down the street. Try getting some pictures of the party lining up and coupling off just before the procession begins — especially paying attention to the father of the bride and his daughter. These can be emotional times.
3. Emotion – Don't be afraid to capture it. You might feel awkward zooming in on the groom shedding a tear, but these are the moments the couple will want to remember forever.
4. Environment – Don't forget to capture the weather. A little rain or high wind might be unwelcome at a wedding, but it's these things that add to the uniqueness of that particular wedding. Make sure to include any sweeping views or other unique aspects of the location as well.
5. Details – Couples will be so caught up in the moment that they may not be able to enjoy the little things at their celebration. Try to get a few tight shots of table settings, menus, and chairs. Also, think creatively like focusing in below the knees of a group of people. A portrait of shoes can be fun.
6. The Couple as a Frame – A great way to get shots of family and other guests is from up on the alter. Shoot through the couple as they say their vows to capture the expressions of the attendees. These shots will look great in the wedding picture frames.
7. Shot List From the Couple – Run through your ideas with the couple before the wedding. This will give them an idea of what's going to happen, and give them a chance to express any specific shots they want included.
8. Case the Spot – If you can, arrive at the location early (or even a day or two before the wedding), and figure out the lighting and angles.
9. Display Shots at the Reception – Another great idea is to bring your computer and upload all the photos from the ceremony on the spot. Then display the photos as a slideshow at the reception. But make sure to keep snapping away because now the drinks are flowing, and it's going to get good.

i've really been enjoying Michael Hyatt's blog lately – tons of great content for leaders and it's super practical! just yesterday he posted a challenge in response to the news of Arnold Schwarzenegger's infidelity. and it made me think of a previous post on why speaking well of your spouse is so important. here's a few highlights from that post, head there for the rest!
Affirmation wards off the temptation of adultery. When others see you are happily married, they are less likely to proposition you. It's like a hedge that protects your marriage from would-be predators. You simply stop being a target.
Affirmation provides a model to those you lead. To be a truly effective leader, you must lead yourself, and then you must lead your family. Your marriage is a powerful visual of how you treat the people you value the most. When you speak highly of your spouse, your followers are more likely to trust you. It takes your leadership to another level.
Affirming your spouse in public is an investment that pays big leadership dividends. In a world where fewer and fewer marriages last, it can be a difference-maker.

CIE system loses Islamiyat paper of 'O' Level students
Islamabad, Sept 22: The parents of 67 'O' Level students of a local school are contemplating to move the court against the Cambridge International Examination System for allegedly misplacing the Islamiyat paper of their children and awarding marks to them on mere assumption.
"I am thinking about taking up the case with the court of law if either the lost paper is not produced or forecast grade is not awarded to my son," Dr. Anwar Butt, father of Imad Butt, a student of Global System of Integrated Studies (GSIS) said.
He said that the trust of parents and children in the CIE system has been shattered due to poor handling of the Islamiyat paper and its marking.
He said that his son, along with 66 other students, appeared in the 'O' Level examination session June 2010, the result of which was announced on August 12, 2010. The result of Islamiyat paper was shown as delayed without mentioning any reason.
He said on protest from the GSIS administration and parents, a result was sent again showing no less than 29 students getting U grade, 10 E grade, 11 D grade, 6 B grade and only one student securing A+ grade.
He said when the school administration again protested, the CIE sent another result showing 9 U grades, 5 E grades, 12 D grades, 9 C grades, 19 B grades, 6 A grades and 9 A+ grades. "By doing so, the CIE system admitted that it lost the answer sheets of Islamiyat (Paper A)," Dr. Anwar Butt said. He said that they produced three different statements of result within a week, which is highly objectionable.
According to him, whenever such situation arises in which papers are lost, there is a rule to award marks to students close to the forecast numbers which are provided to the CIE system by the concerned school from where students appear in the examination. "The marks awarded to students in this case are not close to the forecast numbers," he said.
GSIS Principal Quratulain Ali Rizvi told said that the first explanation from the British Council, Islamabad, was that the papers got delayed with the paper checker and the second information came from William Bickerelikes, regional manager of the CIE Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan based in Dubai, on August 18 that some of the scripts have been lost and the forecast grades are being considered. "It is highly regretful that the forecast grades system was not followed," she regretted.
Ms. Rizvi said the students are in a state of shock for not getting fair grading from the CIE system. She said that the CIE system and British Council are responsible for conducting examination and handling of question and answer papers then why the school administration and students should suffer.
William Bickerelikes, when approached for his comments, said their first priority is fair outcomes for all students who took the examination. The examination has two papers, and we received one but not the other. "We dealt with this thoroughly following the usual procedures that are employed for in rare circumstances such as this, taking into account the student work that we have and our examiners' professional judgement, to ensure each student receives a fair and accurate grade," he said.
The GSIS principal said the confidence of students would be restored only when justice is done with them. She said the CIE system had also offered the school that the students would not be charged any fee if they appear in the paper A of Islamiyat but there was no reason as to why the students should reappear.
Education amid the floods
Islamabad: The devastating floods, besides displacing some 20 million people and killing around 2000 human souls, have also badly shaken our already crumbling education sector. The relief organisations are focusing on providing food, shelter, clothing and medication to the flood victims but no one has bothered to include education in their priority list. News reports suggest that almost 5,674 schools have been damaged across the country due to the floods while 4,932 schools are being used as shelter for the flood affectees. It's almost impossible to conduct classes in the damaged school buildings unless they are renovated. It also seems difficult to evacuate the school buildings currently being used as shelter for the flood victims until an alternate arrangement is made for them. When authorities in Nowshera recently made such an attempt for evacuation, the affectees resorted to vociferous protests. It would definitely take a long time to provide a permanent shelter for these victims. Therefore, the only immediate option for the authorities is to revamp the ruined school buildings.
Now when the floodwater has receded, the condition of the damaged schools could be assessed. Renovation of the damaged schools should begin without further delay. UNICEF is doing its best to prioritise the educational needs of the flood victims and has taken concrete steps in this regard. Similarly, Turkey has provided makeshift schools. We have seen our government's inability and mismanagement during the floods and therefore have no high expectations from it. Nevertheless, we still urge upon the government to realise the crisis and take steps towards restoring suspended educational activities in many parts of the country. The news

Sleep Station
"I will hide this way / while bombs drop everyday / just close my eyes and wait to die / They can take our lives / but my soul is yours and mine / and I love you Caroline."
- "Caroline, London 1940"
Writing a concept record about a war might seem a bit lofty for most bands, but if you consider Sleep Station's apt penchant for cinematic scope and big ideas, it's a perfectly logical muse. The band did, after all, paint a heartbreaking portrait with their debut -- and homage to an astronaut's panicked isolation on Hang in there Charlie and then once again on the recent Von Cosel EP (which was based on a real life 1930's doctor/patient TB love triangle), so what better setting for the extreme castes of topical human drama than a war, or better yet World War II. Front man Dave Debiak elucidates, "The first concept record I wrote came as an afterthought. I actually intended to make a movie yet had no means to produce it. I could never have come up with a budget to shoot, so I thought I would at the very least write a score for the film. Since then I have been thinking of things in a more cinematic mode."
Sleep Stations carefully nuanced lyrical/musical ambitions are as much influenced by their sonic-fetishist impulse, as well as Dave's hermetic work ethic. Debiak, along with drummer/percussionist Daniel Goodwin, bassist Ryan Ball and guitarist/arranger Brad Paxton, recorded much of After The War at their collective home studio Electric Fence in New Jersey leaving the audiophiles room to fully explore, tweak and expand until they were sated. Hoping to incorporate as much equipment from the era as possible -- "We actually recorded a good portion of the record on vintage 1940's set ups, ribbon and mushroom microphones and a few old amps. It was amazing that this it all worked as well as it did. The end result sounds better than most of what we have access to today." adds Debiak, speaking of the album's vast warmth.
Regardless of subject matter or sonic subtext -- it's clearly Debiak's role as narrator that truly captivates, his empathy for the individuals he has created coupled with the band's sonic blast of 70's AM Gold is wholly engrossing. After The War lands lush and mournful, contrasting perfectly against the band's sanguine song-craft. The record unfolds as a parade of characters weave in and out of the songs, tales of hope and longing collide with a bitter expanse of humanity -- all the while amplified by the backdrop of conflict. Debiak expands, " The thread of one soldier's story as the central focus through the entire album, but also songs to provide outside context. The songs serve more as a montage, a compliment of viewpoints to the soldier's singular experience within the war." The record's various vignettes are abutted by found sounds filling out the mix, further blurring any distinction between song and story.
As Debiak purges these delicate and soaring tales from his psyche he is giving voice to a world that thankful isn't wholly his, but ultimately as open ended as the listener dare dream - a beautiful concept indeed.

Real property : a new definition of VAT on 1 January 2017
The new definition of real property will be the same for all countries of the EU and will have an impact in many areas on VAT, in particular regarding the territoriality of services connected with immovable estate.
According to this new definition, there will be four classes of real property. Will thus be considered as such:
– Any specific part of the earth, located at or under the surface, to which can be attached property rights or possession;
– Any building or building attached the ground or in the ground, above or below sea level, which can not be easily moved;
– Any component installed and an integral part of a building or structure without which the building or construction is incomplete (doors, windows, roofs, stairs, elevators …)
– Any equipment or machine permanently installed in a building or structure that can not be moved without destroying or modifying the building or construction.
Note that the European Commission has elaborated on this concept in the explanatory notes published October 26 2015.

When there is apparent defeat
Lord, I stand on Your Word believing that what the enemy has meant for defeat, You are able to turn into a victory. You cause me to triumph and have victory through Christ Jesus. Thank You for sustaining me during this time. In Jesus's name, amen (Isa. 59:19; Rom. 8:37; 1 Cor. 15:57).
When there is lack
Father, I repent of all the things I have or have not done that have caused lack and want to affect my life. I set myself free fro this curse and ask for wisdom and understanding to trust You with my substance. Teach me, Holy Spirit, to be a good steward and to obey God's Word. My God is able to supply all my needs (Phil. 4:19).
When there is worry and anxiety
Father, you have promised to guard my heart and to preserve me with Your peace. I command all worry and anxiety out of my heart and thoughts in the name of Jesus. I trust You, my Lord. You have not given me a spirit of fear. You have given me power and authority and a sound mind. Thank You for this promise, in Jesus's name (Isa. 26:3; Phil. 4:6-7; 2 Tim. 1:7).
When there is weariness and discouragement
Father, thank you that Your Word declares You give power to the weak, and to those who have no might You increase their strength. When I am weary, You cause me to mount up with wings as an eagle. I declare that discouragement shall not have dominion over me (Isa. 40:28-31; Heb. 12:3).

A 20s-inspired DIY day
Happy Saturday everyone! This fantastic DIY 20s-inspired day made me smile a lot! So I hope it makes you lot happy too – I'll hand over to Ju to tell you all about when Andy and Ju got married…
All images © Ju Mitchell
"We wanted our wedding to reflect who we are and the things that are important to us. It wasn't just about us though, it was also very much about my seven year old son Joe, and our wonderful family and friends. Andy and I had known each other as colleagues and friends for a few years before we got together. Once we were together, we very quickly realised that we'd found our "keepers" and a just over a year later Andy proposed. We planned our wedding for 14 months later – we wanted to wait until the Spring – our favourite season – and to have time to do lots of collecting and crafting."
"We soon found the perfect venue for us. We wanted our 70 guests to feel relaxed and comfortable and to have lots of fun – a bit like a fabulous informal house party, albeit in a very large house!. Hargate Hall was ideal as it gave us the freedom to do things just as we wanted to. Our guests were able to stay for up to three nights in the twelve self-catering apartments and the house actually felt as if it was our home for the weekend. Not only that, Hargate is located in a beautiful part of the country that we both love – the Peak District."
"We didn't want a specific theme but were inspired by the work of artist Rob Ryan – we used a selection of his card designs for our invitations and order of service booklets – and the vintage feel of the 1920s and 30s. Our eclectic mix of handmade decorations had a bit of a 'secret garden' feel about them. During the months in the build-up to our wedding, Andy made literally hundreds of origami cranes, which we used not only as part of our decorations, but also in place of confetti. I made length upon length of bunting and lots of paper tissue pom-pom flowers. Two good friends made flowers and hearts from the pages of charity shop bought copies of our favourite books. I also used pages from these books to create paper wreaths that were used to 'dress' the fireplace. We kept our lighting soft with lots of fairy lights and LCD tea-lites in pretty glass holders – 50 of them were tied to the staircase banister along with paper flowers', origami birds and butterflies, and bunches of fresh rosemary. Ceramic birds and ladybirds were made for us by another talented friend. Wooden signs made by my Dad that we hung with ribbon and decorated with words that we felt were important to our future:- love, laughter, happiness, fun, passion, commitment, courage, understanding, sharing, forever. We now have these hung up at home. Photos mean a lot to us and so we framed lots of images of us and our guests and scattered these around the venue to make it feel like home."
"As much as possible we used local suppliers – a keg of local beer on our DIY bar and hampers for our guests – in each of the twelve self catering apartments at Hargate – were filled with produce from a nearby farm. Our Pie and Pea supper was supplied by a farm shop in Sheffield where we live. Everything else, we did ourselves. Two days before the wedding Andy and I went to our local flower market and filled our car up with beautiful flowers. My bouquet and the flowers around the venue were arranged by my talented friend and Best Woman on the Day – she used to work as a florist and now runs 'Patisserie Lola' and so therefore also made the cups cakes we had instead of a traditional wedding cake."
"Prior to the day, we'd asked our guests to each select a song they'd like to hear played during the weekend. We made a huge wall decoration about "who chose what" with photos of each person, their song choice, their relationship to us and a little bit about them. We also noted during which 'bit' of the wedding their song would be played so they could listen out for it. This 'collage' – made up of A4 pieces of cream card (a page per family or couple or individual) tied all together with ribbon – became a real talking point and gave our guests the opportunity to find out a little more about each other."
"I was very happily five and a half months pregnant on the day of our wedding and determined not to wear the predictable empire line maternity wedding gown. The 1920's flapper-style Leluxe gown I wore felt amazing. It gave me the look I wanted, was flattering, and just roomy enough to accommodate my ever-growing bean-bump! At the last minute (days before the wedding) I splashed out on the most gorgeous pair of Rachel Simpson shoes which Andy suggested I fell in love with at least as much as I love him – this isn't true of course. Andy wore a fabulous Olive Green Paul Smith suit. Braces and a checked shirt and tie provided a quirky vintage feel to his outfit. We entered into the ceremony together as part of a procession made up of our shared four Best Men – including my seven year old son Joe, one Best Woman, and three Bridesmaids. The children carried large origami cranes on sticks that we had made. When it came to saying the vows we had written ourselves it felt as if we were the only two people in the room, it was magical. During our speeches, my son Joe shared his favourite joke:- "Two aerials got married…great reception"."
"Following our ceremony, we caught up with our guests whilst drinking the cocktails we'd made and bottled – the elderflower based "Marital Bliss" and non-alcoholic version "Happily Ever After", and an orange squash "Young Love" for the children. We didn't want the formality of a sit-down meal and so we instead had a delicious cream tea, prepared by Andy's Mum, in the afternoon – served in the vintage china we had collected along with beautiful embroided table cloths – and a pie and pea supper in the evening followed by a dessert buffet We kept our younger guests entertained throughout the day with a children's crafting room – the paper crowns were a big hit! – and Joe's cinema screening of Wall-E complete with servings of popcorn and ice cream for the children. The retro sweet table we set up, with stripy paper bags for our guests to 'pick n mix', was well received by both young and old. During the day we played 1920's and 30's influenced music sourced by a muso friend and then had fantastic live music from Andy's Brother-in-law in the afternoon and in the evening the amazing Nicola Farnon's Quartet accompanied much dancing – some of our guests even joined the band for singing and drumming during a couple of numbers! A fancy dress box provided lots of fun and some great photos! As darkness fell we enjoyed sparklers and sky lanterns. A 'paper quilt' was created in place of a guest book."
The whole wedding was very DIY and we couldn't have pulled it off without the help and support we had from our families and many talented friends. We had the most AMAZING weekend and have so many fantastic memories. We have since welcomed "Will", our new baby, into the world and I'm currently blogging http://ju-musings-on-life.blogspot.com/ about family life. I am in the process of setting up my business named "Teatime Vintage" which will specialise in tea parties, event styling, vintage china hire and sweet and dessert bars – after all, it would be a shame to let all that vintage china go to waste!

Owning a swimming pool can be great fun during the summer, as well as a good source of exercise. Maintenance on a pool, by contrast, is anything but fun. One of the most troublesome aspects many pool owners face when maintaining their swimming pool is the problem of stains. Stains are a problem that every pool owner will face eventually. Dealing with them properly can not only remove any trace of the stain, but also prevent them from recurring.
How to Remove Stains From a Pool
Drain the pool so that all stains can be inspected and cleaned. Never attempt to remove a stain from a pool that has only been partially drained. The chemicals and cleaning agents used in stain removal will contaminate any water remaining in the pool. It is therefore recommended to drain the pool completely so that the entire surface can be inspected.
Make note of the type of pool surface. Your pool will be made of concrete or plaster. Knowing which material your pool exterior is made from will help you choose cleaning solutions formulated specifically for your type of pool.
Inspect the stain to determine its type. Stains in swimming pools are usually one of two types: organic and rust. Organic stains are caused from leaves and other organic material being allowed to settle in the pool to decompose. Iron is the primary source of rust staining. You would also inspect the area of the waterline for evidence of calcium or lime.
Use a cleaning solution that matches your specific situation. If you have a concrete swimming pool and are faced with an organic stain, then buy a cleaning solution developed for removing organic stains from concrete. There are a number of highly specialized products for swimming pool stains, so it is normal to customize the product based on your particular needs. Some cleaners need to be scrubbed with a brush, and others only ask you to pour the cleaner on the stain. Follow the directions that come with your product.
Use a water hose to spray off the area where the stain once was. You will get best results by using a power spray nozzle. Be sure to spray the entire area thoroughly, along with the entire path that the water takes to the drain. It is important to wash away every drop of the cleaning product.
Refill the pool. Add a new supply of your usual water treatment chemicals so that you can restore the water's PH back to normal levels. Once the PH is at normal levels and chlorine is in the water, it is safe to take a dip in the stainfree pool.
Things You Will Need
- Soft bristle cleaning brush Cleaning solution Water hose
- Bioguard is a general purpose pool stain remover. It is well worth using if you don't know what kind of stain you have. It will also add a protective coating to the area to prevent the stain from recurring.

This week you might have seen all of your friends sharing their top songs and artists of 2017 with help of their favorite music streaming services. And we were so here for it! Which artists made your top list? My top artists included Balance and Composure, Paramore, The Front Bottoms and lots of other APU faves.
Although we have been reminiscing about our AOTY lists and checking them twice, we too have also been listening to lots of new songs — a few of which were released this week. If you might have missed some of these freshly released jams, you are in luck because we have rounded up a few of our favorites just for you.
Make sure to check out these songs you might have missed in this week's roundup below and share the love.
Boston Manor – "Drowned In Gold": Boston Manor has released a new video for their new song "Drowned In Gold" and we are so stoked for it! Does this mean new album in 2018? We might have to wait and see for that one, but in the meantime, we have this sick tune to keep us going.
Chapel – "Don't You Love Me": Chapel has some of the most fun and appetizing videos! They released a new vid for their single "Don't You Love Me" — which keeps the quirky brunch-inspired theme going to a fun and dancey tune. Check it out below!
Head North – "Somewhere, N.D.": Watch Head North's new video for their song "Somewhere, N.D." off their album The Last Living Man Alive Ever in the History of the World. Head North's drummer Ben Lieber created the video by compiling digital collages to make one beautiful storytelling of a video. Make sure to watch this beautiful work of art below and see Head North on tour with Trophy eyes in a city near you.
Homesafe – "Headache/Guts": Chicago's next breakout band is without a doubt Homesafe — who are currently in the process of writing their first full-length LP to be released in 2018. They released a double-whammy of a new video for not one but two songs off of their Evermore EP, Headache and Guts. Check it out below and make sure to get familiar with them.
Pale Waves – "New Year's Eve": Everyone's favorite 2017 breakout band is back with a new video for their song "New Year's Eve." Watch the band play an empty venue and solemnly walk around singing about not wanting to be alone on New Year's Eve (#toorelatable).
