As parents we all dread the "phone call." The ring in the night when the voice on the other end tells you something has happened to your teenage child. Shock, disbelief, and possibly panic all flow over you like a river.
You notice something is wrong with your husband. He is a little moody; short tempered, his enthusiasm seems to be missing. So you ask him, "What is wrong?" At first he simply says "nothing." But a few days later nothing has changed so you ask him again. And you gently persist when he defers to the "no problem" defense.
Finally, he gives it up, "I lost my job two weeks ago. I've been out looking and networking every day but there is nothing out there! I don't know what we're going to do."
Bad news is just around the corner. Hiding in the shadows, it can appear at any time and interrupt the peace of any of us. Bad news is not discriminatory; it preys on the good and the bad, the rich and the poor, the old and the young alike.
One common misperception is that Christianity delivers us from bad news. Nothing is further from the truth. Like the psalmist reminds us, "Rain falls on the just and the unjust." Christianity does not indemnify us from pain or suffering. But it does contain a promise. The promise of hope that God is there in the darkness walking through our suffering with us.
Our natural desire is to avoid pain or sidestep trouble. But they will find us no matter how hard we try. Whether by our cause or the cause of others there's trouble in our own River Cities.
But, we have Christ, who on the Cross took our trouble upon Himself and paid the price for us. We have Christ, who on the Cross felt the same pain that we do, suffered the same agony that we feel, endured the same humility that presses us down. In fact, He felt so much more in that while He is enduring my suffering, He is also enduring yours and everyone else's all at once.
And not only that, but at the end of His life when death won its prize, He called out in the hopelessness of despair, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" Abandoned by His Father, God Himself, and left alone to lie in a grave.
But not for long. God's showed His love to raise His son from the grave to provide for us the hope that walks through our bad news with us. It is the hope that says whatever today's difficulty brings we have hope in the knowledge that God has defeated the bad news and opened a victory to us to overcome the suffering of today to live in the glory of His presence tomorrow.
So, yes, bad news will come. But bad news is not the end of the road because God gave us good news to hold our hand on even the worst of our days.

July Bootcamp was for the Children's Book Illustration market. We were to create a page spread which included a mouse with wings and a bird with shoes.
I went with a circus theme which seemed suitable for such animals.

There will always be an affordable insurance plan out there that suits you and your vehicle, but you will need to follow some new rules laid out by the companies. The tips written in the paragraphs below will help the cause. There is a list of criteria that insurers will look at to decide how to give you your rates.
Insurance companies offer a wide range of coverage and services that go beyond what is legally required. You are going to have to pay a higher deductible, but it might work out for you in the long run. Uninsured motorist coverage protects you when you suffer damages to your vehicle or yourself that are caused by an uninsured driver.
Public Transportation
Consider using public transportation or organizing a carpool. Insurers love when their clients are responsible and they can reward them by lowering their mileage. If you take public transportation, chances are your insurance agent can find a way to discount your policy.
Before purchasing automobile insurance, get quotes from several companies. Rates can vary dramatically from one provider to the next. Check back with those companies every year to see if you could save more money. For the fairest comparison, make sure that each quote is for your desired amount of coverage.
Consider raising your deductible to save money. While this means more money spent up front if you are have an accident, it will save money on your premium. In order to make this strategy work, you should set aside enough money for the deductible in case of an accident. Generally, higher deductibles mean lower premium costs.
Don't take the first cheap quote you find. The cheapest plan may turn out to be the best one, but not always. You have to get to know more about the company and the policy that you are opening before you rely on it to cover any damages that occur during an accident.
When you are requesting quotes for car insurance, comparing costs of annual premiums is just a small part of your overall analysis. Make sure you get information on all of a policy's details, such as the amount of your deductible if you are involved in an accident, the limits that are placed on any benefits you receive and the levels on your various types of coverage.
Car insurance rates fluctuate and are dependent upon where you live. If you can afford it, you may want to consider moving to a rural area. Look into the cost difference.
Auto insurance is a required part of driving, and finding the right insurance and proper coverage is an important decision. On top of your insurance premiums, you will have a deductible that needs to be met before the insurance company will cover any of your costs.
Some coverage items are not worth the extra cash though. One item that may not be necessary is collision insurance. If your vehicle has aged and is of little value, you don't need this expense. By dropping from this your coverage, your premiums could go down significantly. You can also think about taking off coverages, such as liability.
Armed with a list of available discounts, mark off the ones you qualify for and total up how much you stand to save. The amount you can save with discounts can be shocking.
Insurance companies are all different. If you are unhappy with the quote you received on your car, be sure to check out several competitors as they all have different prices available.
The price you pay for car insurance will be affected significantly by the infractions that appear when your records from the DMV are accessed. Likewise, when infractions are removed, your total cost for insurance can spiral downward. Once this happens, it's wise to do some comparison shopping on auto insurance rates again.
Consumer Complaint
A ratio of consumer complaint statistics should be accessible for the major providers found in your state. These statistics include consumer complaint ratios, which should give you a good idea of how well the company serves its customers.
Before you change your car insurance, be sure that you don't have any unresolved traffic violations or parking tickets. There is no reason you should not clean up your driving record, and you can be certain that insurers are going to examine it carefully. This is not only morally right, but it can positively affect insurance premiums.
You should always maintain records of all the insurance bills you have paid. Not only do you need it to carry in your car for proof that you do have insurance, it could also come in handy if there is ever a dispute with your insurance coverage regarding premiums being paid.
Some insurance companies will give you lower rates if you enumerate the car's safety features. Theft protection devices and air bags can bring you a discount on your premiums since the insurance company wants to reward the use of devices that reduce future claims. This is also true if you install these features on an older car.
You now know that it is possible to find affordable insurance rates with a great company. With the advice and help offered in these tips, you can see that you are able to lower the premium.

Family Law
By their very nature, family law cases tend to be stressful, even more so when you are forced to navigate the legal system without the benefit of an attorney. Unfortunately, misinformation about family law – about the process, about the law, and about what should be expected – abounds. Contact us now to schedule a consultation, and let the attorneys at Richmond Law Group guide you through this tumultuous time.
DivorceLike custody, divorces generally come in two types. A divorce may be uncontested, meaning the parties are able to settle all the matters involved – property, debts, custody, and others. If some aspect of the marital estate cannot be settled, the divorce is considered contested.
Whether you are looking for an attorney to negotiate and draft a settlement agreement terminating the marriage in an amicable way, or you need one who will zealously represent you and safeguard your rights in a contested trial, Richmond Law Group has the expertise to handle your divorce.
Custody & VisitationCustody falls into two categories: physical custody – determining with whom the child or children reside – and legal custody, determining who is responsible for making important decisions affecting the life of the child.
Regardless of the custodial arrangement, one party may have, or may be able to get, visitation with the child. The potential visitation schedules are infinite, but the attorneys at Richmond Law Group have the knowledge and experience to fight for a custodial and visitation arrangement that is best for you and for your children.

Reflections on the end of my 1 year '$1,000 crypto portfolio challenge'
It was on Sep 1st, 2017 that I enthusiastically began my quest to invest 1,000 bucks in cryptocurrency and turn a profit in the market. My promise was to gift 20% of the profits to the subscribers. Unfortunately, exactly one year later on the concluding day there are no profits but, looking back, there are many positives to take away from this experiment and lessons learned (the hard way!) along the journey.

family bussiness
Two books translated by my grandfather Gustav Francl have been released recently. I was honoured to design the covers and typography. Complete works of
Francois Villon are first published in Czech in single book and from single translator. It is quite unusual to release Arthur Rimbaud's poems in comics form. Cover illustration was taken from original French book. Other translations are being prepared for publishing…

Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee expressed pride in his daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, for the response she gave to a reporter about President Donald Trump's flaws.
Huckabee also responded to the vicious personal attacks that mainstream media outlets like The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times made against his daughter this week, including disparaging her physical appearance and intelligence, telling The Western Journal it reveals "much more about themselves than they do about Sarah."
"To attack people's appearances or their culture is bigotry, pure and simple and the sad thing is that people like these you mention are unaware of their own hateful, sexist, and cynical bigotry," he said.
Advertisement - story continues below
On Wednesday, NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked Sanders during the White House news briefing about Trump's faults.
"Yesterday from that podium you said all of our leaders have flaws, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Kennedy. What are President Trump's flaws?" Alexander asked.
TRENDING: AOC Says She's Taking Action To Stop Trump's National Emergency Declaration
"Probably that he has to deal with you guys on a daily basis," Sanders replied.
Advertisement - story continues below
Alexander followed up, "In fairness, he doesn't deal with us on a daily basis. So what would you say, in sincerity?"
"Most every day actually he does," Sanders replied.
Huckebee loved Sanders' answer, writing on Facebook, "I'd be proud of the White House Press Secretary for this response even if she weren't my daughter."
But New York Times columnist Frank Bruni did not appreciate the response.
Advertisement - story continues below
"Being answerable to a skeptical news media may be an inconvenience, or for someone as thin-skinned as he is, an absolute torment — but it's not a flaw," he wrote in an op-ed published Friday.
He added, "It also happens to be a vital component of democracy, should she and her boss care to reacquaint themselves with that."
Bruni lambasted the press secretary's overall job performance, indicating it made him pine for the days Sean Spicer held the post.
"I missed the panic in his eyes, which signaled a scintilla of awareness that he was peddling hooey," the columnist wrote. "I missed the squeak in his voice, which suggested perhaps the tiniest smidgen of shame."
Advertisement - story continues below
"He never seemed to me entirely at home in the domicile of deception," Bruni added. "(Sanders) dwells without evident compunction in a gaudier fairyland of grander fictions. There is no panic. No squeak. Just that repulsed expression, as if a foul odor had wafted in and she knew — just knew — that the culprit was CNN."
Bruni then got personal, saying Sanders lacks the skill set to be press secretary.
"She's awful at this, but that makes her an excellent fit for an administration in which mediocrity, inadequate experience and nepotism run rampant," he wrote.
"Besides, she is serving a function other than communication, which turns out not to be her forte. (To listen to her pronounce 'priorities' is akin to hearing air seep out of a flat tire, and she leaves half the consonants on the curb.)"
Advertisement - story continues below
The columnist contended, "She's a bogus message to Middle America that Trump's White House is really a homespun, family-values kind of place."
David Horsey of the Los Angeles Times offered an almost equally derisive assessment in his piece entitled, "Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the right mouthpiece for a truth-twisted president."
Like Bruni, Horsey described Sanders as a liar, then added she looks like a "slightly chunky soccer mom."
"Anyone who is going to be tasked with the job of explaining this president to the news media needs to be comfortable with saying things that are demonstrably not true," he wrote.

Horsey added, "Sanders betrays no qualms about her role. She delivers the daily load of fibs and evasions in a flat, emotionless voice and, if questioned, keeps her cool, repeats her fallacious statements and sneers as if she hopes there is a firing squad waiting outside for the upstart journalist."
He concluded, "Over the years we have seen many White House press secretaries who did a good job representing the interests of their administrations. They managed to put a positive spin on things without straying too far from facts. By that standard, Sanders is a failure."
Horsey later apologized to his readers and to Sanders herself for making a personal attack on her. He said his inappropriate description of Sanders "was insensitive and failed to meet the standards of our newspaper."
Meanwhile, in her Netflix program this week, liberal talk show host Chelsea Handler also made Sanders the subject of ridicule during a mock interview with actress Fortune Feimster, who impersonated the press secretary.

"Please welcome that dumpster, smokey-eyed raccoon Sarah Huckabee Sanders," Handler said, as Feimster made her entrance.
"I know you have to come out for him and lie him, and that's your job, I guess," the host said during the interview. "I mean, you are a mother. You have three little children. I would think that that would be at some point you would go home and be like 'I can't behave this way anymore.'"
"I sleep like a baby," Feimster replied.
"You're also shaped like a baby, so congratulations," Handler said in response.

Huckabee told The Western Journal that these critics, including Bruni, Horsey and Handler, "reveal themselves to be self-absorbed snobs who are totally out of touch with people who live real lives."
He added, "My daughter and the millions of people who love her are not surprised by the hypocrisy of those who wouldn't tolerate such hate directed toward one of their liberal friends."

Open Letter to Faith Communities in Greater Liberty
2017 from Ed Chasteen
aka Pedalin' Prof
The billboard on campus that summer showed the route I rode on my bicycle from Orlando to Seattle to Anaheim. By myself. With no money/. Looking for goodness. And finding it. Took me 105 days. On my longest days I rode 125 miles. So when I was back I drew a 125 mile circle around our town called Liberty. I dubbed this little piece of God's good earth, Greater Liberty, meaning to call attention to the Greater Liberty we all have to live beyond all the names other people know us by. My hope is to find a friend in every Greater Liberty faith community and to encourage others to come with me.
I propose a class for faith communities located in Greater Liberty. An on-line class, with few, maybe no, actual visits. But! Close enough that should we wish, a visit//visits might easily be arranged. I ask members of Greater Liberty faith communities to contact me on line and sign up for this class. I will then pair you with a member of another faith community. This new identity will be someone of another faith who lives nearby. Let us call this The Greater Liberty Class.
Both members of every pair will hold seven on-line conversations using the seven sets of questions I provide. Each will then write the life story of the one with whom you are paired. The story will be written in first person" "My name is (……)" Each member of the pair will submit your story to the other for possible additions and/or corrections. And then to me.
After each online conversation, each member of the pair will tell me by email what you learned about the person you are becoming. When the seven conversations have been completed, each member of the pair will write the story of your new identity as you have learned it through the seven sets of questions.
This class will follow the academic calendar: fall semester September-December; spring semester January-April. In May at William Jewell College all pairs will be invited for a Human Family Reunion honoring those who by their work as pairs are now recognized as World Class Persons, able to go anyplace at anytime and talk to anyone about anything and feel safe.
Students may sign up for either the fall or the spring semester. The seven sets of questions are designed to be completed in one semester. I know of no better way to deepen and widen one's own faith than by delving into another, and no better way of delving than by spending a few weeks as someone of another faith. One of my very good friends is Yahya Furqan, a Muslim imam. We have traveled the country together. We have visited in each others homes. Yahya says he is a better Muslim because he knows me. I am a better Christian because I know him. Neither of us have even thought of trying to convert the other.
I am now contacting some of my longtime friends in the various faith communities in the area to ask them to help me enlist their folks in this quest to both find friends and build bridges. And to all who may happen to read this letter, I ask you to please join me. Sign up for Greater :Liberty.. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

A different way to think about creative genius: Elisabeth Gilbert surprises us with a breakthrough thinking on innovation. She muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person « being » a genius, all of us « have » a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

Waterfall, WaterFAIL
Musicals have the power to transcend cultural barriers...audiences are longing for this kind of show. And with the exotic set up of culture clash--the East and the West--there is an opportunity here to have a luscious, sincere, romantic love story.
-Tak Viravan, Co-Director of Waterfall
Set in pre-WWII Thailand, Waterfall (currently playing at the 5th Avenue Theater) is a musical adaptation of a famous Thai romance novel. The current producing artists have switched the race of the novel's female protagonist from Thai to a white American, in an attempt to appeal to American audiences and create a cross-cultural, "sincere, romantic love story". They have failed. Written by a male author, adapted by male playwrights and told through the eyes of a male central character, the woman is written only as an object of reference for the male protagonist. Instead, they have created a male coming-of-age story where the woman is reduced to trite characterizations and where "cultural barriers" are only "transcended" through the addition of whiteness.
In this musical adaptation, Noppon, a 22-year-old Thai student, falls in love with Katherine, the 35-year-old white American wife of a Thai diplomat. They consummate their relationship atop a mountain next to a waterfall but politics and cultural differences separate them soon after. Eight years later, Noppon is an influential diplomat who has altered the course of history in his country and Katherine is sick on her deathbed. Katherine gifts Noppon a painting of a waterfall, confesses that she has loved him all these years, and dies.
In the few conversations Noppon and Katherine share, the male playwrights have written Noppon so that his text revolves around his desire to make a difference in the world, while Katherine's focuses on how out of place she feels as an American in a foreign country and how she's worried she no longer makes her husband happy. Noppon's objective is to better himself as an individual, but Katherine's objective is not so clear--she is written not as an independent subject of the story, but as a point of reference for Noppon's character arc. The elimination of her character is the catalyst for Noppon's denouement; her literal death is the only way he can resolve his journey.
In the process of this race-swapping, the original cultural context of the story is lost, and the playwrights have lost their love story as well. They have (unfortunately but predictably) missed an opportunity to empower their new female character. By adding whiteness to the play, producing artists believe they are enabling the entire production. In other words, they think this production wouldn't happen [be monetarily feasible]-without the addition of at least one white American.
By passively accepting the white, male dominated world they live in, the producing artists fail to present their audience with anything new, useful or challenging in terms of race or gender, nor is the play what they tout it as. Audiences deserve more. Today, American audiences demand women characters who are written as subjects, not as objects. Artificial injections of Americana whiteness and shaky portrayals of women written by men will not and should not be expected to placate us anymore.

due to access problems - "new rolling stock on it's way" is on hold
117 refurbishment project
February 2018
All the seats are out and being re-upholstered. Floor is up and the side panels stripped ready to be replaced. Doors are also coming along.
November 2017 Progress
Work has started on the interior refurbishment - first class is in better shape than the toilets and second class and so work is starting there.
So - as an immediate solution to our capacity problem we have initiated a project to re-furbish the 117 (which we now own).
October - the 117 gets a trip down to Truthall to make sure the undercarriage and bearings are in good working order prior to hose down and the start of refurbishing work.
The 1st Class cabin is in better condition and so we have removed the seats for re-upholstering and will clean the compartment prior to starting on the remainder of the carriage.
New rolling stock on it's way
We had so many visitors in 2016 that we had queues of vistors waiting for trips up the line using our brake vans.
With the introduction of steam in 2017 we badly need extra capacity to handle the much larger visitor numbers.
We have been offered 3 units "free - as long as we can transport them".
Carriage from National Railway Museum
A suburban Mark 1 carriage is available. It is in working order but requires some renovation work. HRPS will own this carriage.
Funding needed for transport from York - £4,000.
Carriage from GWR Preservation Society - Southall
A carriage is available in exchange for the work we are doing on William Murdoch. HRPS will own this carriage.
See above for example picture
Funding needed for transport from Southall - £4,000.
Toad brake van from Southall
Funding needed for transport from Southall - £3,000

From Goodreads:
An unforgettable and unpredictable debut novel of guilt, punishment, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive
Noa P. Singleton never spoke a word in her own defense throughout a brief trial that ended with a jury finding her guilty of first-degree murder. Ten years later, having accepted her fate, she sits on death row in a maximum-security penitentiary, just six months away from her execution date.
Seemingly out of the blue, she is visited by Marlene Dixon, a high-powered Philadelphia attorney who is also the mother of the woman Noa was imprisoned for killing. Marlene tells Noa that she has changed her mind about the death penalty and Noa's sentence, and will do everything in her considerable power to convince the governor to commute the sentence to life in prison, in return for the one thing Noa is unwilling to trade: her story.
Marlene desperately wants Noa to reveal the events that led to her daughter's death – events that Noa has never shared with a soul. With death looming, Marlene believes that Noa may finally give her the answers she needs, though Noa is far from convinced that Marlene deserves the salvation she alone can deliver. Inextricably linked by murder but with very different goals, Noa and Marlene wrestle with the sentences life itself can impose while they confront the best and worst of what makes us human in this haunting tale of love, anguish, and deception.
Silver accomplished an arduous novel for her debut. A complicated and controversial subject matter on many levels. Powerfully written with extreme detail, irresistible page turner. The reader understands the 'why' but most importantly you are left asking yourself the question of 'does the sentence fit the crime?'
Guilt and innocence are intricately entwined leaving the heavy question of mitigating circumstances the deciding divider between the accusers guilt or innocence. Inside and outside factors of the law also play an import role in the overall determination of Noa's actual participation along with the root of her guilt or innocence.
Silver will capture your undivided attention with her focus on details, and outstanding characterization with superb dialogue. The tension created causes great angst and the reader is hooked into the novel head on.
Memorable, will leave you asking yourself several uneasy questions for quite a while after the novel is placed on the shelf. Excellent selection for groups providing endless discussion.

'How to use new insights into the kinetics of ligand – target interaction to improve the profile of the biological activities of your new compounds, thus making them better candidates for therapeutic use' was the topic of the 13th EFMC short course held in the conference Centre "Oud Poelgeest" in the outskirts of the City of Science Leiden, from 23-26 April.
About 30 participants — mainly from European countries, but the Americas were also represented — followed a programme of lectures and discussions with expert scientists from Belgium, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. The beautiful scene of the venue, a small castle in a park full of flowers contributed to the relaxed and informal atmosphere during the course.
The programming was coordinated by Prof. Ad IJzerman and Dr Laura Heitman, both from the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research. The course was concluded by group discussions on the different sub-themes of the programme. The central question was 'how will insight into the kinetics of the ligand - target interactions influence the outcome of the investigations in the different phases of the drug discovery.' How does the kinetic behaviour of a compound when binding to the target, reflected by association (kon) and dissociation (koff) rate constants influence its selection for further development. This question was addressed for the process of target selection and validation, lead finding and optimization, and (pre) clinical development.
At the end of the programme the theme of the 2018 EFMC Short Course was announced as "Peptides and Proteins".
The EC of the EFMC is very grateful to Ad IJzerman and Laura Heitman and all the lecturers who together made the 13th Short Course such a successful event!

The Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS) is an interest group of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) in the UK. The annually elected committee is primarily responsible for the organisation of Scientific Meetings and Symposia, supporting educational activities in the UK, and advising the Society on policies that directly affect the BMCS.
Specifically, the BMCS aims to further the interests of all members of the RSC, both industrial and academic, involved in the pursuit and understanding of biologically active molecules. The predominant areas include pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavours and fragrances. It also acts to promote public awareness of the crucial role played by chemistry in the modern industrial environment.
The BMCS is particularly active in the organisation of scientific meetings and does so in collaboration with a wide variety of other groups both within and external to the RSC. In recent years, the BMCS has been especially active in promoting some of the important interdisciplinary areas in which chemists are intimately involved. We typically run several meetings each year jointly with the Society for Chemical Industry, but we have also held internationally attended meetings with fellow societies across Europe. The BMCS also supports educational activities at both primary and secondary school level, such as the running of lectures and day schools, and the provision of equipment.
The BMCS administers two biennial awards, the Malcolm Campbell Award, the winning team of which was announced recently (see http://www.rsc.org/Membership/Networking/InterestGroups/BMCS/) and the Capps-Green-Zomaya Award, which acknowledge major scientific achievements in both academia and industry that have been carried out within the UK.
In addition, the BMCS publicises medicinal chemistry at universities by funding a 'BMCS Lectureship' and providing travel bursaries for UK-based postgraduate students undertaking research in medicinal chemistry to attend international symposia.

On Friday the 10th March 2017, SCI Headquarters in Belgrave Square, London hosted a celebration of organic chemistry, as it was the venue for the final of the 4th National Retrosynthesis Competition. This event was jointly organised by members of the RSC's Heterocyclic and Synthesis Group and the Fine Chemicals Group and Young Chemists Panel of the SCI, under the leadership of Dr Rob Wybrow of Syngenta, UK. From ~40 teams who entered the preliminary round in December 2016, 10 were selected for the final by the judging panel, Dr Ross Denton (University of Nottingham), Professor Paul Davies (University of Birmingham), Dr Robin Attrill (GSK) and Dr Sharan Bagal (AstraZeneca). The finalists were drawn from a broad cross-section of chemistry-based organisations, universities and academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, CROs and agrochemicals. At the final, teams presented their synthetic strategies for the as yet un-synthesized natural product, eucalrobusone D (DOI: 10.1002/chem.201601732), and answered questions from the audience and judges challenging their reasoning and route selection. The winning team was "SnaAZzy Synthesisers" from AstraZeneca and the runners up were "Dysfunctional Group" from the University of St. Andrews while "We Mean Bismuth" from the University of Oxford took third place. Special commendation from the judges was also made to Concept (previously Peakdale) "Chapel Team" for a very valiant effort.
The organising committee would like to thank all of the teams who entered the competition for their contributions as well as the judges, guests, attendees, sponsors and exhibitors for their significant input into the event. We would particularly like to thank the SCI for their generous support for this year's competition, which included the donation of a year's membership to all the members of the winning team and e-memberships to the runners-up. Based upon enthusiastic positive feedback from participants and special guests on the day the competition was hugely successful, underlining the key central importance of synthetic organic chemistry in both fundamental and applied research in the UK. Taking that positive momentum forwards, the organising committee has already begun their planning for the 5th National Retrosynthesis Competition, to be held in early March 2018.

A high-ranking Milton police officer won't be facing a domestic assault and battery charge. A Brockton court official decided Tuesday there was insufficient evidence Deputy Chief Paul Nolan had bruised the face of a girlfriend during an argument in his car on the night of Sept. 10 in Quincy.
A high-ranking Milton police officer won't be facing a domestic assault and battery charge.
A Brockton court official decided Tuesday there was insufficient evidence Deputy Chief Paul Nolan had bruised the face of a girlfriend during an argument in his car on the night of Sept. 10 in Quincy.
The decision came after a hearing last week to determine if a crime had been committed.READ THE DOCUMENTS
Alleged victim's affidavit Transcript of 911 call Quincy Police report State Police report
Click to hear the 911 call. Warning: Contains obscenities.
"It is disgraceful that Deputy Chief Nolan, a man who is recovering from hip replacement surgery as a result of being shot on the job, had to defend himself against the baseless and scurrilous allegations of a person who appears to be quite troubled," Nolan's attorney, Daniel O'Malley of Quincy, said after learning of the decision.
Because Quincy and Milton police cases are heard in Quincy District Court, the hearing was shifted from Norfolk County to Plymouth County to avoid any conflict.
Quincy Police had filed an application with the court clerk for a criminal complaint against Nolan.
An assistant clerk magistrate in the district court in Brockton, Kevin Leach, decided there was not sufficient evidence to charge Nolan.
Laurie Kineavy, 45, of Milton, alleged Nolan, 54, became enraged and grabbed her face when she refused to have sex with him and told him that she had been married twice.
Neither Kineavy nor attorneys representing her could be reached for comment on Leach's decision not to issue a criminal complaint against Nolan.
Last month, Brockton District Court Judge Paul Dawley refused to continue a temporary restraining order Kineavy had obtained to keep Nolan away from her.
"As we expected, the truth surfaced at both hearings, and the allegations were found to be without merit," said O'Malley, Nolan's attorney.
Kineavy testified during a lengthy restraining order hearing that the couple had dated since 2005, which is when she separated from her second husband.
Nolan is an attorney as well as deputy chief in Milton. The two would sometimes have sex at Nolan's law office in the Willard Building on Furnace Brook Parkway in Quincy, according to Kineavy.
The night of the alleged incident Kineavy and Nolan had a few drinks at the Adams Inn in Quincy before driving to Sonny's Pub and Restaurant in Dorchester.
While the pair later allegedly argued, Kineavy called 911 on a cell phone and left the line open, but didn't answer the operator's questions.
Kineavy testified she called the emergency number just in case Nolan became violent.
She went to Quincy police after initially telling an officer responding to her 911 call that she was OK and nothing had happened.
Quincy police then filed a complaint seeking a clerk magistrate's hearing to determine whether Nolan should be charged with domestic assault and battery.
Evidence included Kineavy's 911 call and a 70-minute surveillance video, without sound, of the couple at the Dorchester pub.
Milton Police Chief Richard Wells Jr. placed Nolan, the department's media spokesman, on paid administrative leave upon learning about the incident.
Wells could not be reached about Nolan's status in the department.

Baimao Hou

|Baimao Hou
|Traditional Chinese
|Simplified Chinese
Baimao Hou (Chinese: 白毛猴; pinyin: báimáohóu; literally: "white-haired monkey") is a green tea made from the top two leaves and the bud of new season growth (late March / early April). It originates from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, China. These delicate leaves are gently and gingerly steamed and dried. The dried leaf is said to look like that of a white-haired monkey's paw.
The leaves still show the "hairy down" on them which indicates that these leaves were plucked very early in the morning and within the first two weeks of the new season of growth. Even though this is a green tea, the visual appearance and cup liquor is so delicate that this is known as a white tea.

Research group at Cornell: A smart approach to enhance UVC LED efficiency
The efficiency of deep ultraviolet light (< 280 nm) emitting diodes (UVC LED) for converting electrical power to UVC photon power (wall plug efficiency) is still low compared to diodes emitting light in the visible spectral region, for instance blue light (50%). A research group at Cornell University, NY has released a promising route for dealing with the basic physics that limits the UVC LED efficiency. According to postdoctoral researcher Moudud Islam, there are three basic problems that limit the efficiency of the UVC LEDs. Read moreRead more

Is the Biomass Industry Overpaying for Insurance?
In 2003, renewable energy industry entrepreneurs were building their businesses. Early on, they noticed there was a big problem with their property and casualty insurance—it was expensive. For a few years, they validated that the pricing was not an accurate reflection of the risks. In 2006, an innovative insurance program was developed to specifically meet the needs of a segment of the renewable energy industry—ethanol production. These companies used their superior knowledge of the industry to create their own insurance company to protect and insure their assets and potential liabilities. Over the past decade, this insurance company has grown to include nearly half of all ethanol production facilities in the U.S.
Highlights include:
• More than $13 billion of insured value.
• Returned more than $20 million to its members through surplus credits/returns and dividends.
• Nearly 50 member companies with over 100 separate facility locations.
• 100 percent retention over the past three years.
• Decreased property rates more than 74 percent since 2003.
• Decreased general liability rates more than 79 percent since 2003.
• Decreased work compensation rates more than 49 percent since 2003.
As the ethanol production sector has diversified over the past 12 years, the insurance company has added other similar agricultural and renewable energy industry companies, where the risks could be controlled and underwritten to make sense.
How was the insurance company created?
This particular insurance company is named ERM SPC Ltd. and it is a Segregated Portfolio Company captive reinsurance company domiciled in the Cayman Islands, and exists for the purpose of reinsuring property, general liability and workers compensation risks. What is a captive, you may ask? Via captive.com: A captive insurer is generally defined as an insurance company that is wholly-owned and controlled by its insureds; its primary purpose is to insure the risks of its owners, and its insureds benefit from the captive insurer's underwriting profits.
What does that mean?
In simple terms, a captive is a group of insureds (companies) that come together to purchase insurance in an advantageous way. In the case of the ERM SPC Ltd., there was a group of ethanol production facilities that met certain design standards, had effective risk control programs in place to make them better than average in the traditional insurance marketplace.
As part of the captive, these companies also have a responsibility to themselves and the group to control risks and losses. In addition, they share loss-related information in order to learn from one another. Each facility is inspected at minimum of two times annually to ensure they are keeping their facilities as safe as possible.
How does a captive work to save a business money?
Captives have a direct impact on companies' bottom lines in a variety of ways. One of the most direct impacts is the ability to leverage the insurance markets on behalf of the entire portfolio of companies, instead of individual companies approaching insurance markets on their own. This allows the captive to decrease premium while improving their coverage and terms for the captive members.
Secondly, for every dollar of insurance premiums paid to an insurance carrier, a large percentage is set aside to pay claims, and when claims do not occur, it creates underwriting profit. For a business, that dollar is a sunk cost. In traditional insurance, even if a company practices superior risk control and safety, and works hard to limit claim activity, the carrier will keep the profit that results from the company's risk-control efforts. In a captive environment, those profits are returned to the participant.
How does a captive help lower claims?
The claims are lower for a number of reasons, which are the following:
• Members are directly incentivized to improve safety and reduce claims.
• All claim costs are monies that would otherwise be paid back to the captive participants (rather than a sunk cost paid to the insurance company), so all captive members are incentivized to reduce or eliminate claims costs.
• Every member is required to go through two risk control inspections per year, where regulatory compliance and best management practices relevant to the industry are reviewed.
• It shapes a team environment for all members, and a percent of premium is at risk, based on the performance of the captive as a whole. It also incentivizes members to help fellow captive facilities reduce claims.
• Organizations that refuse to make improvements, should they need to, will be suspended and removed from the captive program.
Why a captive program is right for the renewable energy industry?
The renewable energy industry has had a lot of growth in the U.S. over the past decade, and there is not enough underwriting information at a specific carrier to support their own classification and rate structure. The loss ratios on good risks are very low, and these accounts aren't priced appropriately for the insured. A customizable program is the perfect avenue to not only improve risk control practices, but can provide a fair net cost to the insured.
What does this have to do with the biomass power and processing industry?
Over the past few years, we have seen that the biomass power and processing industry has experienced the same growing pains, related to insurance, that ethanol saw in 2003. Companies appear to be paying too much for their property and casualty insurance, and we want to do something about it, so these organizations can reinvest their diverted premiums into what they need to advance their business and the renewable energy industry. IMA Corp., the largest employee-owned insurance brokerage in the country that focuses on several niche markets and is the top provider in various renewable energy industry sectors, is currently performing a benchmarking study of renewable energy facilities to analyze current insurance programs, operations, loss history, etc. The end goal is either building a separate insurance company or segregated portfolio company for the biomass power/processing industry, or if mutually beneficial, introducing these companies into this already established, and very successful, renewable energy segregated portfolio companies containing ethanol production companies.
