Minute Maid Park, with its cutting-edge technology and classic architecture, opened in 2000. The $248 million facility has a retractable roof and 50,000 square feet of glass in the west wall of the roof that provides the fans a view of the Houston skyline, even when closed. Seats along the right-field and left-field lines are five feet from the line. Natural Bermuda grass covers the 2.5-acre playing surface.
This retractable roof stadium in downtown Houston has been nicknamed the Juice Box, but trains are the theme. Fans enter through the refurbished Union Station and a replica locomotive runs on a track above left field. Also, fans can now take a light rail line to the game, although this is Houston so most are driving. For more on the Minute Maid Park experience, including a game-day itinerary, visit Wise Guides.

MMR is a safe and effective combined vaccine that protects against three separate illnesses – measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) – in a single injection. The full course of MMR vaccination requires 2 doses.
Measles, mumps and rubella are highly infectious conditions that can have serious, and potentially fatal, complications, including meningitis, swelling of the brain (encephalitis) and deafness.
If you have not previously received your vaccination, please telephone the surgery to book an appointment with the nurse.
Self Care is about looking after yourself; living a healthy lifestyle and looking at what you can do and want to do- rather than what you can't do.
It is also about taking responsibility for your own health and wellbeing with the support of the people involved in your care.
This could be brushing your teeth regularly, taking medicine when you have a cold, or doing some exercise. It is really important to help keep yourself as well as possible.
We have a useful Self Care leaflet available to pick up in the surgery or access it here Keep Calm and Self Care

Surgery times vary. Routine appointments are for 10 minutes duration. To ensure continuity of care try to see the same doctor for on-going problems if possible
If you need to see a doctor within 24 hours we will usually be able to do this, but you may not be able to choose a particular doctor.
You can book and cancel appointments online with SystmOnline via the link at the top of this page.
Please telephone the surgery on 01274 371380. Genuine medical emergencies will always be accommodated.
If you need to speak to a doctor or nurse for medical advice please telephone 01274 371380 during working hours.
If a doctor or nurse is not available we will ask you to call back (for example the doctor will not usually be able to speak to you if already consulting in surgery).
Nurse appointments are available throughout the day, Monday to Friday.
When you are seeing the doctor or nurse you may be offered a chaperone for certain examinations. This is in line with national guidance to support and protect us all, and all our staff have been fully trained in this role. Any patient can request a chaperone; it will not affect their treatment. A doctor or nurse may request a chaperone but will always discuss this with you and you may, of course, refuse. If you would like to discuss the role of chaperones, please ask the doctor or nurse.
If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.
If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay).
It is up to your employer to decide whether you are incapable of work. A medical certificate, now called a 'Statement of Fitness for Work' (see below) from your doctor is strong evidence that you are sick and would normally be accepted, unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.
You could also provide evidence from someone who is not a medical practitioner, e.g. a dentist. Your employer will decide whether or not this evidence is acceptable. If your employer has any doubts, they may still ask for a medical certificate from your GP.
The 'fit note' was introduced on 6 April 2010. With your employer's support, the note will help you return to work sooner by providing more information about the effects of your illness or injury.

Care for Formica surfaces by keeping them clean, using an abrasive cleaner or bleach occasionally, and removing scratches. Rinse the area with a clean, damp towel or sponge after cleaning. The tools necessary to complete the task include a damp cloth, mild detergent or all-purpose household cleaner, abrasive cleaner, bleach, sandpaper, and a damp towel or sponge.Continue Reading
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent or an all-purpose household cleaner. Refrain from using tile and grout cleaners or those meant for toilets.
Remove stubborn stains by using an abrasive cleaner or a wet scrubbing pad. Go over the entire surface with the cleaner or pad to obtain an even look. Remove tea stains, food coloring and fruit drink stains by dabbing the area with bleach and allowing it to set for a few minutes, and then wipe it up with a clean, wet cloth and household cleaner.
Sand scratches with sandpaper attached to a sanding block. Be sure to work in circular motions. Wipe away debris from the sandpaper, and check to see if the scratch is gone. If not, continue sanding until it is. Use 220-grit sandpaper for matte-finish Formica, 320-grit for satin finish and 600-grit for semi-gloss finish. Contact the fabricator to remove scratches on Formica with a gloss finish.

Hysterical Make A Good Meal For Their Panzerfauste Halflings
September 23, 2015 by brennon
Hysterical Games have previewed some great looking miniatures that will be taking more of a background role when it comes to the war effort in Panzerfauste. See what you make of the Gnomes' Chef and Nurse who will be keeping the wounded fed and healthy...
They are very fun miniatures and you can really see the Chef serving up a great meal for the troops. Well, it's either that or he thinks he is better than he is and ends up making something rather inedible. At least the cute Gnome Nurse is around to make them feel better.
I don't know whether or not the next fellow would be such a welcome addition to the hospital ward. Meet the Orc Medic...
This chap looks like he has more of a battlefield role, heading off into the mud to administer some quick and easy medical help that may or may not keep you alive. I think I'd prefer to head back from the front lines and get looked after by the French Gnomes.
You can also check out a neat video above showing off the Orc Troops in more detail.
What do you think of Panzerfauste right now?

Sonia Aimy: Singer/Songwriter/Actress Ignites Audiences with African World Music
With her inimitable, velvety voice, Nigerian-born singer, songwriter and actress Sonia Aimy is the quintessential embodiment of contemporary African world music. Her sound blends Afro-jazz, highlife, and call-and-response African griot tradition, in easy flowing, yet virtuosic performances.
Her irresistible rhythms and ...
The dream wouldn't leave singer Sonia Aimy alone. She was in a family compound, teaching young people to sing and dance. Whenever their movements and sounds reached the right place, when their trance went deep enough, the ground beneath their feet would burst into flame, a moment she recounts in the song "Voices of Orisa."
"I shared this idea with [Nobel Prize-winning playwright] Wole Soyinka," explains Aimy. "He told me not to be afraid of the message. I knew I had to sing it."
This conviction and vision animate Nigerian Spirit (release date: June 16, 2017), the resulting blend of a childhood in Nigeria, a busy career in jazz and theater in Italy, and a new life in Ontario, where in addition to her performing career, she is launching a new line of jewelry and apparel inspired by her travels. Aimy reflects on her heritage, using the Italian penchant for romantic metaphor and a globetrotting sonic palette to express her hopes for her native land and for Africa as a whole.
Despite dire situations, the struggles she pays tribute to in pieces like "A Dream for Somalia," Aimy paints a portrait on Spirit designed to move and inspire, with interlocking grooves and jazz flair, in multiple languages. It's part of what Aimy feels is the heart of Nigerian culture. "No matter the situation, we're all responsive people. The poorest person will still manage to make you laugh. You have to try to tell the story in a positive way. It may be dramatic, but you will still laugh because of the narrative style. That's the key. That's the thread that draws it all together."
Aimy grew up steeped in professional music and dance, as her mother was a performer in a prominent cultural group in Benin City, Aimy's hometown in Nigeria. She would watch her mother rehearse, learning the songs and movements. She became the youngest chorister in the local Catholic church choir, opening the world of notated Western music. "My music now is a combination of the experience with gospel music, as well as the traditional music of my people and my formal training," explains Aimy, a sound evident on songs like "Ase." "In Edo music, you have room for improvisation. There are lots of runs, call and response, solos. It's very powerful."
This combination's power dawned on Aimy once she arrived in Torino, Italy at music school. A teacher turned her on to the work of Mahalia Jackson, which in turn led to a serious interest in jazz. "When I first went to the school and was told my vocal style was more jazzy, that studying that style would help me, I was skeptical," she recalls. "Then I listened to Mahalia Jackson. Sometimes I'd really feel myself through her. I thought, this could be me. I'd think of the songs I sung back home. I really related to the spirit of her work, though I didn't know that much about African-American history. This convinced me to study jazz."
Yet Italy also left its mark on the singer and songwriter. "The Italian feel in my music lies in metaphor. How metaphorically they write about love and life; it's influenced me a lot," muses Aimy. "They have a way of writing about things metaphorically, not directly."
Aimy's career in Italy eventually centered on the theater, and she found herself touring relentlessly with theater companies, as well as creating her own works for the stage. On the road, she would often jot down small ideas, snatches of melody that she later developed into full-fledged songs. One, a little riff with syllables Aimy turned into "Chotima," had more meaning than Aimy expected. An artist friend originally from Gabon came to visit and heard Aimy sing a line. To Aimy's shock, she exclaimed: "You're singing in my language! This is my language!" They worked together on lyrics, and the song to a soulmate was born.
Yet for all the positive emotion and metaphorical musings, Nigerian Spirit flows directly from Aimy's concern and rage at what she sees in her homeland, in Africa, in the world. "This album draws on my anger about what's happened in Africa," says Aimy. "It captures my rage about Boko Haram, about the war in places like Somalia. Ever since I started my career, I rarely had a break from the stage, from touring, from networking. When I did, I connected more to people, to the news, to the world and these crises. I started to feel such anger."
She saw what befell her fellow Africans on the waters of the Mediterranean and wrote "Lampedusa," a tribute to those drowned at sea as they tried to reach Italy and a better life in Europe. Her anger resolves into potent calls to move forward, calls her fans from across the continent have heard. When Aimy performed "A Dream for Somalia" as part of a community event in Toronto, many in the audience wanted to hear it in their own language. They translated the words for the singer, and she learned to sing them.
What remains the same, regardless of place or language, is the spirit, the images that spark hope. "When you write something, it's a shadow that overwhelms you. It brings out an image," reflects Aimy. "It's like a womb that brings something new into the world."

When eating out, cooking in or even leaving your living room is too tall an order, two Lexington companies will bring a variety of restaurant food to your door.
The Web- and phone-based services LexEatIn and Takeout Taxi allow you to order from the menus they provide from local restaurants, and then they bring the food to you. Orders may be placed by phone or online with just a few clicks or with free apps for iPhone and iPad users
Both charge $3.99 to deliver orders placed online and $4.99 for orders placed by telephone. A $10 minimum order is required.
LexEatIn was started in October by Kentucky natives Joseph Mitchell and Robert Hamilton, and it offers delivery services for more than 30 restaurant brands. LexEatIn is the first independent venture for both owners. Hamilton said they experienced "normal" challenges at the beginning.
"The rate at which we've grown has kept us all busy," he said. "Business is going well; we're growing and partnering with more and more restaurants all the time."
Takeout Taxi is in a similar growing stage, Kentucky franchisee Tommy Wheelock said.
Takeout Taxi is a national chain. Its Lexington operation opened in November and offers services to more than 20 restaurant brands.
"It's always a slow start," Wheelock said. "We have to build the customer base, and we're doing that each and every day."
After managing the Louisville branch for 14 years, Wheelock said bringing Takeout Taxi to Lexington was the logical next step.
"There was definitely a need for a restaurant delivery service in Lexington," he said.
Hamilton agreed, saying he and Mitchell were inspired by their days at Transylvania University.
"We both saw the idea in other places and thought it would work here with the college campuses and everything," Hamilton said.
He said their goal is to provide convenience among people's frenzied schedules.
"People are busy and don't always have time to cook or go out for food," Hamilton said.
Wheelock plans to target college students this fall by partnering with UK so students' Plus Accounts can be used to pay for the food.
Both LexEatIn and Takeout Taxi offer diverse options. Restaurants including Applebee's, Smashburger and El Chico's broaden the standard delivery choices of pizza and Chinese food.
Besides busy families and students, Takeout Taxi and LexEatIn deliver to corporate sales meetings, office lunches and other events large and small. Both services take orders weeks and months in advance.
After less than a year in business, Hamilton said LexEatIn has received plenty of positive feedback from customers.
"People find it really easy to use and enjoy the variety of cuisine options," he said. Wheelock said customers are intrigued by the idea of dinner simply showing up at their doors.
"They love that they don't have to do a thing," he said.

After a fair few weeks wading through some patents, I have whittled them down to the relevant few. These are the backbone of my timeline, which will be filled in along with other documentation and whatnot. I've only gone up to 1959, as after that it gets a bit more convoluted and would make this entry twice as long!
The initials in brackets after the name indicates the applicant's nationality, while the brackets after each entry have the patent number. The letters there are the country in which the patent was made. The dates are those in which the patent applications were made, not in which they were granted (anything up to 5 years after the application).
Oct 1894 – William Adam (GB) patents a 3 boat pelagic trawl. It's all a bit odd, but he is thinking outside the box and trying to make a functioning mid-water trawl. [GB189420323]
Nov 1898 – The first patented vertical trawl door by David Sherrit (GB). It is, however, entirely a demersal affair. But like William Adam, the idea and willingness to experiment a bit are there. [GB189824035]
Nov 1922 – Cornelis Pieter Dros (NL) patents what looks lake a trawl that can vary its depth. It is, however, not a pelagic trawl in the true sense, as the impetus for this design lies in engine and fuel efficiency, not in optimising the catch or range of the ship. [GB202887]
1925 to 1935ish – V D Ltd, a company comprising of two Frenchmen, Oscar Dahl and Jean-Baptiste Vigneron (and later on, William Black) make a series of patents for demersal trawls. The innovation here is the idea of not connecting the net directly to the trawl doors. After 1940, almost all pelagic trawl patents distance the trawl doors from the net with cables of some description.
Sep 1930 – Unlike Cornelis Dros, this patent by Marcel Simonin (FR) is specifically designed to be used at whatever depth is desired. The design is quite simple and has a very narrow mouth with the net being directly connected to the horizontal trawl doors. [GB356493]
Dec 1938 – Franz Suberkrub, along with Ernst Karl Ludwig Roscher and Kurt Jaeger Hansing (all DE) patent their vertical trawl door. Made of wood and metal fittings, the door is made for demersal use. [GB523452]
Dec 1948 – Robert Larsen (DK) patents his two-boat pelagic trawl in Denmk.
Nov 1949 – Robert Larsen's (DK) first patent outside Denmark is made in Ireland – the two-boat pelagic trawl, as before. [IE019864]
Nov 1949 – Karl-Hugo Larsson (SE) was, judging by the amount of research he published and was involved in, a key and influential figure in the development of pelagic trawling. This is his patent for a one-boat pelagic trawl with vertical trawl doors. The vertical doors in this case are curved, very much in the manner of Suberkrub's patents. [GB670222]
Nov 1949 – Robert Larsen (DK) makes a British patent for his two-boat trawl. [GB695361]
Nov 1950 – Sterner Persson (SE) patents his trawl capable of functioning at different depths – primarily a pelagic trawl. The trawl has three trawl doors – two at each side, and one from the ground rope to keep the net open. The trawl doors in the more traditional location are vertically orientated. [GB682824]
Feb 1952 – Jon Sigurdsson (IS) patents a pelagic trawl, with a third trawl door attached to the ground rope and horizontal trawl doors. [GB699206]
Aug 1952 – Another Icelander, Agnar Gudmundsson Bredfjord, patents a pelagic trawl. This trawl has the hallmarks of a modern pelagic trawl and has vertical trawl doors. His patent states that one of his reasons for pelagic, rather than bottom fishing, is to not disturb the vegetation and small fry that may be on the seabed. [US2771702]
Nov 1954 – Robert Larsen (DK) isn't taking any chances; this is his Canadian patent for the two-boat trawl. [CA507700]
Dec 1955 – Karl-Hugo Larsson (SE), who made his one-boat pelagic trawl patent a year or so after Robert Larsen in Britain follows his lead and makes his patent in Canada as well. [CA519107]
May 1957 – This time a man of unknown nationality, Donald S Johnson, has his invention patented on his behalf by the Dominion Textile Company, Canada. The patent describes a one-boat pelagic trawl with what appears to horizontal, tubular trawl doors. [CA541497]
Dec 1958 – Moises Larrea Esesumaga (PT) patents a trawl for working at varying depths, from surface through to demersal The trawl has no trawl doors, instead relying on four kites at each corner to hold the net open – the shape of the mouth of the net being controlled by 'guides'. [GB911666]
June 1959 – Franz Suberkrub makes a solo patent, for the vertical trawl door. Now designed for pelagic rather than demersal trawling, this door is now a sleeker, version of the 1938 version, no longer being made of wood. [US3079720]
So that's the boiled down version – the real one is a lot longer and a bit more complicated. But at least you can all see the basics from which I am expanding and researching from. That and having to teach every word-processing programme I come across the word 'demersal'. Non of the seem to recognise it!

WASHINGTON — Although credit-rating agencies played a crucial role in creating the nation's severe financial crisis, the legislation to revamp financial regulation that Congress is considering would give them a dangerous pass.
Neither the Senate Banking Committee bill that's being debated now nor the version that the House of Representatives passed last year would require credit-rating agencies to do any due diligence when they rate complex financial instruments.
It was the failure to verify the soundness of underlying loans that led to the global financial meltdown; complex mortgage-backed bonds with investment-grade ratings were sold worldwide, but later proved to be junk.
A McClatchy investigation last October exposed how Moody's sacrificed the quality of its ratings in order to preserve a lucrative market share even as it knew of brewing problems in the housing market and what that might mean to the broader financial system.
Ratings agencies grade bonds on their risks of default. Until the September 2008 near-collapse of financial markets, their word was gold. However, the three leading agencies — Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings — downgraded to junk status billions of dollars' worth of mortgage-backed bonds that they'd given top ratings to earlier.
Beginning in 2007, those downgrades set a chain of events in motion that resulted in a freezing of global credit markets, the rescue and sale of investment giant Bear Stearns, the failure of investment bank Lehman Brothers and the $180 billion-plus taxpayer bailout of insurance titan American International Group. The financial crisis snowballed into an economic recession, and more than 8 million Americans have lost their jobs.
At the leading edge of this devastating chain of events was a collapse in underwriting standards. People who'd previously been deemed not creditworthy received mortgages; for slightly higher interest rates, lenders didn't even verify borrowers' incomes or employment.
Since there was no requirement for due diligence, the credit-rating agencies simply worked off mathematical models, treating as gospel whatever information was provided by the Wall Street firms that packaged the rotten mortgages into complex mortgage-backed securities.
The Wall Street firms didn't do sufficient research on underlying loan quality, either. At every link in the chain, the risks grew and were passed on to new investors. A joke during the boom said that a rolling loan gathered no loss.
None, that is, until the investor who'd believed the bond's investment-grade rating from the ratings agency was left holding worthless junk.
"The current (ratings) firms, for various reasons, claim to do no due diligence. They do not engage in what most people call due diligence. They take the facts, and then they run with it. They don't go any further than that," said Jerome Fons, a former managing director of credit policy for Moody's. "If investors owned or controlled the rating agency, they would certainly want more work done."
The Senate Banking Committee's legislation discourages the government's use of credit ratings for its own purchases and would create a special regulatory office within the Securities and Exchange Commission to focus solely on credit-rating agencies. The legislation, similar to the House version that passed in December, also would create an annual SEC inspection process for these agencies.
However, neither bill would require the ratings agencies to conduct due diligence on the underwriting of bonds they rate. Both bills would require a measure of certification that due diligence had been done by someone, but neither would dictate who'd pay for it.
In a hearing last month before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Moody's CEO Raymond McDaniel claimed that his company had warned about deteriorating underwriting standards beginning as early as 2003.
Moody's and its competitors didn't stop rating the complex securities backed by shaky loans, however, and the panel's chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., made public documents that showed how the companies went out of their way to avoid examining the quality of the underlying loans.
Levin presented e-mails that showed that a Moody's analyst who was rating one deal alerted superiors that the troubled lender — Fremont General, in Anaheim Hills, Calif., which later filed for bankruptcy_ had the highest delinquency rates on mortgages in the country. Yet the deal in late 2006 got a top rating anyway.
The documents were even more damning for S&P.
One of its analysts on a subprime deal with Fremont loans being packaged by Goldman Sachs asked whether more collateral should be demanded of Fremont. The analyst hinted at Fremont's growing problems, including trouble with regulators and the fact that it had severed ties with 8,000 mortgage brokers who'd originated bad loans that Fremont had underwritten.
The answer separately from two supervisors was no, it's not S&P's job to make that call.
Levin's documents proved that ratings agencies overlooked obvious problems because they weren't required to conduct due diligence.
Since then, the collapse of investment grade ratings on mortgage-backed bonds has damaged the ratings agencies' reputations severely, lowered their share prices — by almost two-thirds for Moody's — and made investors wary of all ratings.
The issuers of bonds pay ratings agencies for the ratings they get, a conflict of interest that's had disastrous consequences. During the housing boom, as the McClatchy investigation and Levin's subsequent hearing revealed, Wall Street banks such as Goldman Sachs exploited this conflict to shop for ratings.
"Our view is that the model is fundamentally broken," said Sean Egan, a co-founder of Egan-Jones Ratings Co., a small firm that conducts due diligence on the underlying loans of products it rates for sophisticated investors.
Ratings agencies have replaced credit examiners in banks, but those examiners did look at the quality of loans, he said.
"There should be responsibility to the ultimate investors, and that's not the case" with ratings agencies, "and there's nothing in the proposals that is addressing that, unfortunately," Egan said, speaking of the bills before Congress.
Enter Kroll Bond Ratings, which is to open in late summer. Its founder Jules Kroll, well-known in the esoteric field of forensic accounting, bets that from now on, investors will demand due diligence before they purchase another complex security packaged by Wall Street and given an investment-grade rating by a ratings agency.
"It's a fundamental difference; we're going to accept responsibility for doing a certain level of due diligence," he said.
Fons, the former Moody's executive, is now an executive vice president at Kroll. "We'd like to compete on the quality of ratings, and we don't think that's happening today," he said.
Moody's and S&P enjoy huge profit margins, however, in part because they didn't invest time and manpower in verifying underlying assets. Kroll's business will be more expensive.
"That's going to be a big challenge. It's going to cost more money because we're putting in more time and doing things," Kroll acknowledged.
Investors, not the issuers of bonds, will hold the key to his success or failure.
"It's the only way we can have a material impact as a company, with the support of the investment community. We need them to say, even if it is for a second look or second opinion, get me a Kroll or someone" else who's willing to research the quality of underlying loans, Kroll said.

If there ever was a week when a team would be better off against a division opponent, this would be the one.
The Giants are in Carolina tonight to take on an unfamiliar Panthers team that runs a diversified offense, led by multi-talented QB Cam Newton. And the Giants are playing their second game in five days, having beaten Tampa Bay on Sunday.
And Tom Coughlin goes into the game without injured WR Hakeem Nicks, WR Domenik Hixon, RB Ahmad Bradshaw and RT David Diehl.
Here are three key matchups to watch:
1. Panthers QB Cam Newton vs. Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell. Newton has three running backs at his disposal as well as the option play and a no-huddle attack. How does Fewell scheme against this strong-armed passer who ran for a career-high 71 yards vs. the Saints last week? Perhaps LB Jacquian Williams will be used as a spy.
2. Giants RB Andre Brown vs. Panthers LB Jon Beason. Brown's ability to create something of a power running game vs. the Bucs opened up the passing game for Eli Manning to have a 500-yard day. Brown needs to do it again in order to give WRs Victor Cruz and Ramses Barden room to operate.
3. Panthers WR Brandon LaFell vs. Giants CB Jayron Hosley. It is assumed Hosley will make the second start of his pro career and be giving up four inches to the 6-2 LaFell, an emerging threat. Hosley did well vs. the Bucs but rookie mistakes are inevitable, and Newton has the mobility to extend plays to take advantage of them.
Prediction: NYG 27-24
Prediction record vs spread: 1-1
What's your prediction for Giants-Panthers? Be heard in the comments below!

Drew & Jessica Guff
The 4th Annual SCO/Family Dynamics Art Auction & Cocktail Party will be held from 6:30 to 8:30pm on April 28th at Site/109, 109 Norfolk St., Manhattan. Acclaimed artist Erik Parker is this year's Honorary Chair. Parker, who has for the past four years donated a piece of original art to be auctioned off in support of the Family Dynamics art program, has created an original painting for this year's Auction entitled "New Knowledge."
The Art Auction supports the Visiting Artist Program at Family Dynamics, which provides art instruction by two professional artists in an after-school program for children and teens living in the high-need neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. To date, students have created striking self-portraits, mixed media and collage style landscapes, sculptures and stagecraft all with discarded materials. As their contribution to the Auction, students will create and donate for auction a large collage depicting a horse from "Jane's Carousel" at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The goal of this year's event is an expansion of the art program, which now serves about 100 young people each year.
The auction will have both a live and silent component. The live auction will include work by Erik Parker, Robert Szot, Ron Diorio and Ron Agam. The auctioneer will be Benjamin Doller of Sotheby's, who is volunteering his time. The event is being co-chaired by Jeremy FitzGerald and Joni Grossman. Previous honorary chairs for the Auction have included Julian Schnabel in 2011, Dustin Yellin in 2012 and Donald Sultan in 2013.
SCO Executive Director Gail Nayowith says: "Our Visiting Artist Program gives children who might not have the opportunity otherwise a chance to express themselves creatively, to learn new skills and to grow as artists and individuals."
Family Dynamics, a program of SCO Family of Services, is committed to protecting children and strengthening families. Based in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, and Brownsville, Brooklyn, Family Dynamics reaches thousands of children, youth and adults with after-school & summer school activities, workforce readiness, family support services and the arts.

Transportation and Logistics companies are continuously looking for ways to improve accuracy and efficiency while lowering costs and optimizing the performance of assets.
Ways for Transportation & Logistics to improve accuracy and optimize asset performance:
Asset Management
Knowing where your most critical assets are at the right time can transform your business. Tracking your fleet, your mobile workers, and their equipment in the field are just a few examples of asset management solutions that give your business the visibility to get ahead of the competition.
- Real-Time tracking
- Fleet Management
- Mobile Workforce
- Check in/Check out devices, tools, or equipment with Automated Locker Systems
Inventory Management
Moving from manual to digital with proof of delivery materials save time and increases productivity. When drivers, in-field, and on-site workers are equipped with the right device your business will stay connected with visibility and intelligence to make informed decisions.
Using Barcodes for scanning and delivery is the way to maintain tracking information and provide proof of delivery for an increase in customer satisfaction levels.
RFID applications are transforming transportation and logistics businesses by use of real-time tracking and mobile tracking capabilities for goods, equipment, and other assets.
Whether it's in the field, a driver, or a combination of both, your mobile workforce is more productive with the right tools. Shifting your employees from a manual to a digital work environment and using mobile equipment will lead to faster response times, increase customer satisfaction, and improve employee job satisfaction.
- Rugged Devices, Tablets, SmartPhones with Carrier enabled/managed options
- Fixed Mobile Devices in vehicles
- Mobile printers
- Sleds and device protector accessories
Printing & Labeling
Having the right label may not only be required for compliance but can also save time, reduce errors, and increase customer satisfaction. Labels in the field that mobile workers print for proof of delivery may not need to withstand conditions of a cold storage facility.
- Proof of Delivery
- Compliance Labeling: GHS, PTI, FDA, UDI
- Product and component ID, Shipping, Pallet Labels
- ID Cards
- Label Assessments and Audits
Services & Support
From warranties to configuration and development on devices, there are a variety of services and support considerations based on your business requirements. By using us as your expert resource, your business can focus on more important tasks.

The U.S. Coast Guard has re-opened the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to some recreational boaters following a four-week closure over safety concerns about increasing the voltage in an underwater electric fish barrier.
Boats greater than 20-feet long must first seek permission from the coast guard to pass through that narrow section of canal near Romeoville under their own power. Previously, the coast guard had required all recreational vessels to be towed across the electrical barrier. Safety concerns still prohibit passage by all personal watercraft, canoes, kayaks, rafts, shells, or sailboats without a motor.
"There are very serious risks associated with coming in contact with electrified water." Capt. Luann Barndt, Commander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan, said in a statement. "We want to ensure people understand all the risks before they decide to request permission to transit through the safety zone."

Reading through the Modularization of XHTML draft, I'm trying to figure out how namespaces can be added to new modules. For XHTML 1.1 itself, this is easy, as all of it lives in a single namespaces. For additional modules, I'm not quite sure what to do. Should I override/modify Xmlns.attrib? Should I just give all the elements I might use in my new module an xmlns* attribute that defines their namespace? I'm sure there's a good answer for this, but I can't find a good explanation. Section 6.4.4 describes what the namespace for the 'My Elements' module should be, but doesn't actually create an attribute defining it. All suggestions are very welcome.

Becoming the longest alternate ending in the history of the film, Scarface: The World is Yours starts at the end of the classic movie. As venerable Tony Montana, players break out of the drug lord's mansion instead of falling face first into a puddle of blood. Losing everything, Tony starts over from the bottom rung of the Miami drug scene, and it's up to the player to gain it all back.
This creates an interesting scenario for a movie based game. Besides rewriting film history and completely changing the point of the movie, Scarface has a lot riding on it to deliver as far as the story is concerned. Sadly, that's the one area the game misses out on entirely.
Scattered between countless drug runs, murder, escort missions and other various side missions is a story struggling to keep pace with the rest of the game. By the time the next plot point arises, you've forgotten the previous cinematic. Slightly upgraded character models seem to be the only noticeable change from the Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions.
Thankfully, the game play is engrossing enough to keep things interesting through an extensive array of missions. An obligatory third person Grand Theft Auto knock-off, Scarface doesn't manipulate the formula enough to feel fresh. What it does is build on that same concept, and in the end, it's a better game.
At the heart of Scarface is targeting, a multi-tiered system that allows for locking on and manual firing. Holding down the auto targeting button allows for precise shots that can lead to a number of gruesome injuries. Becoming the standard for Wii ports, the remote acts as the right analog stick, aiming accurately and controlling the camera. It's a far better aiming device than it is a camera controller, though disorientation caused by a sudden wrist movement is easy to recover from.
To give a purpose to the manual targeting, you'll increase Tony's "Balls" meter with each successful kill. Yes, it means exactly what it says, and can also be filled by spewing vulgar taunts, risky driving or carrying on full conversations with civilians. When filled, Tony can enter a rage mode, making him a dead-on shot from a first person view and regaining life with each kill. This is a solid upgrade on the Wii, as the ability to rapidly shift targets allows for higher counts before the clock ticks down.

Ten in a Bar is established as Wiltshire's premier close harmony singing group. Under the musical direction of Jill Hodge Ten in a Bar performs an eclectic mix of music from modern classics to serious contemporary works. Next year they celebrate 25 years of music and charity work.
The group is fortunate to have many leading soloists, but it is the closeness of their ensemble work which endows them with a distinctive and professional sound .
Ten in a Bar started with 8 singers, a director and accompanist – hence the name Ten in a Bar! But over the years the group has comprised up to 16 singers with an age range from 17 years upwards.
Jill had already directed a number of successful choirs in and around the Swindon area when the group was formed in 1992, With a reputation for high quality singing and music sketches – Ten in a Bar was never going to be just another singing group.
The group perform their annual show at the Arts Centre in Old Town, Swindon in February, and then usually select a number of charity concerts throughout the year in which to feature their latest repertoire. They have supported many charities over the years through the Rotary Club , Swindon Cares and Swindon Borough Council charities.
The group have also been into the studio to record a high quality CD of their repertoire from the 2018 show. This is available at concerts throughout the year.

40,000 people throughout Ireland access Carmichael Centre services and supports annually.
Governance Code Support Service / Consultancy
Governance Code Support Service
Has your organisation yet to embark on the Governance Code journey? Maybe you are already "on the journey" to compliance but are unsure of the actions you need to take in order to be fully compliant?
Carmichael Centre can help!
Carmichael Centre for Voluntary Groups was one of the first organisations in Ireland to comply with the highly recognised Governance Code for Community, Voluntary and Charitable Organisations, and has been involved in the Governance Code working group since its inception. We also have many years' experience in delivering high quality training on corporate governance including training on implementing the Governance Code.
It's time to implement the Governance Code!
Charities were, up to very recently, one of the few remaining pillars of Irish society in which the public's trust had not been crushed by repeated damning failures. The development and adherence to good governance principles is a collective responsibility of the board, the CEO and the management team.
The Governance Code is a very useful tool for putting these issues on the table on an objective basis. Good governance is a continuing journey where you constantly aim to apply good practice principles and check regularly on how you are doing. It is about leadership, compliance, accountability, transparency, effectiveness, honesty and fairness. It is about seeking to do the right thing at all times.
Why the Governance Code?
The Governance Code is a code of practice for the good governance of community, voluntary and charitable organisations in Ireland. It was developed by the sector for the sector.
It is not a management guide. It is intended as a benchmark for the governing body of the organisation with specific actions which they need to apply in order to fulfil their role.
The review will consist of three key activities:
1. Half day workshop with your Board and CEO
2. Desk Review (including email and phone contact with Chair/CEO)
3. Report
1. Workshop
The workshop will cover the five principles of the Governance Code and the governance requirements of the Charities Regulator.
2. Desk review
The desk review will consist of an overview of relevant documentation and policies provided by your organisation.
3. Report
Following the completion of the desk review, a report setting out the key action points will be prepared and submitted to your organisation. On completion of your action points your Board should then be able to sign off on compliance with the Governance Code. Responsibility for completion of relevant checklists and registration with the Governance Code rests with your organisation.
The Governance Code Support Service does not include or serve as an alternative to legal advice.
Cost €975 (plus travel costs where applicable) 50% non-refundable deposit payable in advance.
Client organisations are required to complete a readiness questionnaire in advance of commencement of the work.

Derek spent 14 years in overseas aid programme management in Ireland, Africa and Eastern Europe. In Carmichael Centre, Derek focuses on coordinating and delivering governance and management training and support. Derek is a member of the Communications Committee of the Governance Code Working Group.

She is particularly interested in the strategic development of organisations through the diversification of revenue generating activities. Anna has also supported several organisations through the journey to Governance Code compliance, having coordinated the administration of the process and supported senior management and board of directors to achieve full compliance.
Consultancy Service
Carmichael Centre also undertakes specific contracts for organisations and consortia that require specialist corporate support. Support typically revolves around six core areas: governance, business planning, finance and fundraising, communications, quality assurance and human resource management.
The Centre training and support team works with an external panel of Subject Matter Experts to ensure that appropriate consultancy can be delivered in any part of Ireland and on budget.

In order to make school swimming a success at your school, those people who have an established relationship with pupils, like their class teachers, are best placed to do this.
School swimming is a statutory national curriculum subject, so it is essential that you train your teachers and they have access to appropriate support and resources.
You can use the government Sports Premium in order to get your teachers trained and confident, and here at the ASA we have made it as easy as we can for you to put the necessary steps in place.
The National Curriculum Training Programme (NCTP) is specially designed to provide class teachers and others involved in school swimming delivery with the information and skills they need to feel confident in supporting the effective delivery of school swimming.
Much of the training can be accessed online, which means your teachers don't need to spend long hours away from school, just attend a few practical sessions over the duration of the course. These are structured to allow maximum flexibility for schools, with many of the face to face practical sessions fitting nicely into current INSET planning.
There are two separate parts to the programme which can be completed together or as individual packages:
- Fundamentals of School Swimming – for those who will be actively assisting a more qualified teacher.
- Aquatic Skills of School Swimming – providing the skills needed to teach school swimming independently.
For more information please visit our training page, or email firstname.lastname@example.com to request course availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does each session take?
It depends but most of the sessions will take you 45mns.
I hate squatting, can I still run this program?
I feel like my strength is pretty good, should I still run this program?
Nobodies strength is "pretty" good. There's always room for improvement.
8 weeks to set yourself up for the rest of the year is how we like to state it.
Endurance is relative comparable to strength.
Who's going to deadlift 225 for more reps in a wod, the 300lb deadlifter or the 500lb deadlifter
What do I do for metcons?
We have provided you a consistent progressive template to add into your weekly training schedule. Because of this, it's opened up the variety for you to slay a wod with your box, or add in the other training disciplines that you'd like to focus on.
We also have two new wods posted Tuesday and Friday each week, as well as a Metcon bible of over 200+ wods if you ever feel you'd like to vomit with pride.
Can I run the program four days in a row?
We do not advise that by any stretch.
We like to focus on a 2 on 1 off 2 on protocol for maximum benefits of the program.
Obviously everyone's schedules will be different and some may not have that option.
If you can't adhere to this set up, touch base with us in the Facebook group so we can better advise you on what your schedule looks like and how to maximize your progress.
I just want to focus on powerlifting and not Crossfit©, will this program get me ready for a meet?
No question. Again, if you're training specifically for a comp, having access to the coaches will help us help you outline the best plan of attack with the program at hand.
Why is there no specific conditioning in this program?
As I mentioned above, we have new wods and a book of 200+ for you to access whenever you'd like.
We found that all of our athletes run our power and Olympic parts of our programs and cherry picked the wods through out the week.

Searching for an All-in-one desktop? Chances are you can find some really interesting options in the market right now. But there are some problems with it. They are either too expensive or cheap with a lot of compromises. In this Dell Inspiron 24 3000 Series i3455-4040BLK review, let's take a look at this new release that is aimed at people with a budget.
The specs are good enough for the light user to take care of his everyday tasks. Even the mid-range user can get off to a good start with this desktop. The pricing is pretty affordable and one of the best things about this model. If you are in the market for a cheap, all-in-one desktop computer, read this review till the very end.
Click Here to see what other Owners are saying!
Computers in the Inspiron series are well designed and give a good impression. That is definitely true with this model as well. The front looks neat with smaller bezels and a front facing speaker grill. This is great for media consumption. The front facing speakers can improve you experience by a big deal.
The desktop is not bulky when looked from the sides. Dell has managed to get everything without spoiling the beauty of it. You also get a standard keyboard and a mouse that are standard. The ports can be found on the sides and can be reached without any issues. Overall, it is a neat design without too many major flaws.
Dell Inspiron 24 3000 Series i3455-4040BLK Specs
The display will be the first thing to get your attention, and that is not an exaggeration. This 23.8-inch True life LED-backlit Full HD display is an excellent addition in this price range. This is also a touchscreen, and that is really cool. The picture quality is splendid thanks to the 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution.
You can also enjoy watching movies and tv series with your friends on a weekend. This is possible because of the excellent viewing angles. The IPS panel should be credited for the wide viewing angles here. The widescreen is also suitable good for playing games and working. You can open more windows at the same time that is great for productivity.
The touchscreen supports capacitive touch and not optical touch. This ensures better response with improved sensitivity. It is easy to navigate the Metro UI in Windows 8.1 with your fingers than with a mouse.
The Dell Inspiron 24 3000 Series i3455-4040BLK is powered by an AMD E2 7110 processor. This is a decent processor that has the power to take care of your everyday activities without any hiccups. You can check your mail, browse the web, stream videos and do other daily tasks without breaking a sweat.
The memory department comes with four gigs of RAM that is quite reasonable for an entry-level desktop computer. You can run multiple applications simultaneously without any lags. Multithreaded applications also run fine without any problems.
The 500GB hard drive comes with a decent amount of space for today's users. Light users can take some time to fill this hard disk. You can store all your movies and games without any restriction. If you think this might not be good enough for you, you can easily get an external hard drive for cheap.
Windows 8.1 is the operating system, and it is better when you have a touchscreen at your disposal. You can get a better, more intuitive experience than non-touch users. You are also eligible for the free upgrade to Windows 10 for the first year. With all the positive reviews, you should upgrade to it at the earliest.
Graphics department when it comes to rendering. The AMD Radeon R2 graphics card allows you to play some mid-range games. Though not the best choice for serious gamers, it has what it takes to handle most of the modern day games.
There are a couple of USB 3.0 port that are reliable and fast. The 4-in-1 media card reader can be handy for those who use a lot of memory cards. The HDMI port enables you hook your device up with a high-end display. There is also a tray-load DVD writer that a lot of people still prefer. The desktop also support Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth 4.0.
Dell Inspiron 24 3000 Series i3455-4040BLK Review: Verdict
The new Dell Inspiron 24 3000 Series i3455-4040BLK is an all-in-one desktop for people in a budget. It brings home a gorgeous touchscreen display that is a rarity in entry-level devices these days. If you are keen on getting an all-in-one desktop, then this one is a very good choice.

Seals and sea lions are very different creatures, and that's the main thing people asked me about when visiting the habitat.
One of the differences is in their movement. Sea lions are more flexible and can "walk" on their front and back flippers, while seals aren't so lucky. They scoot like a caterpillar, so when I wrote about them in Legasea, I had to show some of the limitations of their movements when they move across the beach or dive off of rocks. Those limitations are also the reason sea lions are often substitued for seals in live shows and movies.
Another difference is in their social behavior. While sea lions are social and can often be seen floating in piles in the water (this is called "rafting"), seals aren't. Seals congregate in large groups, hanging out on rocks or the beach, but they keep their distance from each other. In Legasea, the seals often hang out on the rocks behind Aileen's house, exactly like they do in the wild.
It was a very foggy, very quiet morning. I took a lot of pictures and video taped them navigating the rocks and slipping into the water, so I could work extra details into my revisions. Seeing them in the wild vs. observing them in a manmade habitat was a totally different experience. I knew how they behaved, but seeing it first hand really helped to solidify their behaviors in my mind and helped me to revise with more realistic details.
Has researching books led you to any exciting places?

Broward Circuit Judge Mel Grossman denied former Sunrise City Attorney Arthur Parkhurst`s request to be reinstated Thursday, but threw out the city`s firing procedure as unconstitutional.
Attorneys for both sides claimed victory.
``I consider this a victory for the city because the judge did not order Mr. Parkhurst to be reinstated,`` said Richard Jay Weiss, attorney for the city.
Parkhurst`s attorney, Maurice Garcia, disagreed, ``We got what we wanted,`` he said. ``The court said the firing procedure was unconstitutional. We really didn`t expect him to be reinstated at this time.``
Grossman ruled the firing procedure adopted by the City Council in April, which gives the council the right to act as the appeals board for Parkhurst after firing him, is unfair and therefore will not apply to Parkhurst.
Parkhurst, who has been city attorney for 16 years, told Grossman that he needs to be reinstated because he has lost business as a result of being fired by Sunrise, a move he said was unjust.
Garcia said Grossman`s ruling on reinstating Parkhurst came during a preliminary hearing and Parkhurst should get his job back at a later hearing.
``I have every confidence that when this comes to trial and all arguments are heard Jim will be reinstated and the city will end up paying two attorney`s fees in the end,`` Garcia said.
Council member Bill Colon, who suggested having the council act as the appeals board in the firing procedure, said he will ask the council to establish a different appeals process, but he had not decided what that process would be.

Australian man who woke up from coma speaking fluent Chinese has now fallen in love on Chinese dating show
Once again a true-life story is stranger than fiction! We previously reported on an Australian man who fell into a week-long coma after a car crash in 2012. When he woke up, he spoke fluent Mandarin Chinese, to everyone's surprise. He has since embarked on a new life using his new language and recently even found love on a Chinese dating site.
Although Ben McMahon had taken some basic Chinese lessons in high school and even took a backpacking trip to China, doctors could not explain the near-native fluency that he acquired after waking up from the coma. Fortunately for his parents and friends, he started to remember his English after some time, or they might have had to learn Chinese in order to converse with him.
What's been happening since 2012?
First of all, Ben realized that his new-found language skill has given him a new opportunity, very much in the spirit of the Chinese saying of "from a tragedy comes something great," and he was inspired to bring different cultures together. He began his own tour guide service to Chinese tourists. He recently started his Youtube channel, where he teaches topics about China and Australia. (For those of you who aren't native Chinese speakers, I can assure you that his Chinese is quite excellent and he even has a Beijing accent. He can perfectly pronounce certain Chinese sounds that don't exist in English. His vocabulary is very impressive too. )
Here is one of his funny videos:
Because of his unique experience, he made headline news in China and has been invited to appear on TV variety shows. Ben recently decided to participate in If You Are the One, an extremely popular dating show in China, during a special segment featuring Australian participants. The show regularly attracts around 50 million viewers who find the show fascinating, especially with the candid questions and responses where the male contestant has to impress 24 female contestants.
Here's Ben appearing on the show, from 37:12 to 59:13. (For English-subtitled episodes, you can visit the Australian SBS TV channel that broadcasts the If You Are the One program.)
Ben was approved by all 24 contestants, and he got to choose one of the female participants after a second round of Q&A.
He chose Sydney-based Chinese lawyer, Feng Guo, who was also the first to like him during the first round. Ben said it was love at first sight for him. The couple won a trip to the Maldives. Since Ben lives in Melbourne, they have pledged to make their long-distance relationship work.
Ben is very excited about his new romance and said, "When you go through a near-death experience, it definitely changes your perspective on life."
Wouldn't you agree with Ben? Life is certainly an adventure, and romance will add even more excitement to the adventure lovers.

ONS: Rise in business investment and consumer spending is helping growth, with GDP rise confirmed at 0.8%
The UK economy continued to advance in the first quarter of this year, helped by growth in all sectors as well as an increase in business investment and households spending, official figures have showed.
The Office for National Statistics confirmed its estimates of GDP growth of 0.8 per cent in the first quarter of this year and of 3.1 per cent compared to last year, the latter marking the best annual growth rate since the last quarter of 2007.
All sectors contributed to economic growth, led by the dominant services sector - which makes up three quarters of UK output – where it was recorded growth of 0.9 per cent.
UK economy: The ONS confirmed its estimates of GDP growth of 0.8 per cent in the first quarter
Meanwhile, on the expenditure side, businesses increased their investments for the fifth successive quarter, growing by 2.7 per cent and contributing 0.2 per cent to the economy.
Higher employment, revived consumer confidence and improved purchasing power saw consumer spending rise by 0.8 per cent, picking up speed from the end of last year, the ONS said.
The UK economy has been struggling to return to its previous levels of activity since it plunged into recession six years ago.
But the overall size of the economy in the first quarter was just 0.6 per cent below the level where it last peaked in early 2008, meaning it looks likely to return to this level during the current quarter.
Dominant: All sectors contributed to economic growth, led by the services sector
Howard Archer, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, said: 'With latest data and surveys pointing to ongoing robust activity, it is odds-on that the economy is finally surpassing the first quarter 2008 peak level in the current quarter. It's been a long time coming but hopefully the economy can now sustain decent growth for an extended period.'
David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, said that, while he expected growth figures to remain unrevised, it was encouraging to see a rise in business investment which was likely to boost business confidence further.
He said: 'It is pleasing to see strong growth in business investment for the second consecutive quarter, and a welcome improvement in the trade balance.
'It is a shame however that exports declined in the quarter and the improvement in the trade balance was the result of an even bigger fall in imports.'
Growing confidence: Consumer spending picked up speed from last year and rose by 0.8 per cent
Net trade had no impact on growth, after adding 1 per cent to GDP in the last quarter of 2013, the ONS said.
Mr Kern added: 'Some rebalancing towards investment and exports is taking place, but the pace is inadequate and efforts in these areas must be strengthened.'
Industrial output was up 0.7 per cent underpinned by manufacturing, while construction grew by 0.6 per cent, with performance limited by the bad weather and flooding in February.
Figures published today by the CBI in its monthly Industrial Trends Survey echoed official figures. The CBI said manufacturers' orders were flat in May, after a slight fall last month, while hopes for the next three months remained strong.
'Overall, the manufacturing sector
continues to perform well. Output growth is on an upward trend, with
firms expecting an even stronger rise in the next three months,' said
Katja Hall, deputy director general at the CBI.
Exports, however, continued to fall, with with 19 per cent of firms
saying their export order books were above normal and 28 per cent saying
they were below normal, giving a negative balance of 9, down from a
negative balance of 3 in April.
'The recent rise in sterling, coupled with a tepid recovery in the euro zone could weigh on export demand,' said Ms Hall.
With the economy showing continued strength, expectations are mounting that the Bank of England could start to rise interest rates early on in 2015, and perhaps even before the end of this year.
Expectations: The Bank of England could rise interest rates earlier than predicted as the economy continues to recover
The Bank of England's Policy Monetary Committee voted unanimously to keep interest rates at their historic low of 0.5 per cent at the start of the month, but minutes released yesterday showed that 'for some members the decision was becoming more balanced' - suggesting central bank 'hawks' will start voting for an increase in the coming months.
Officials also argued that rates may need to rise early for the Bank to fulfil its promise of 'gradual' and 'limited' increases.
'It could be argued that the more gradual the intended rise in Bank Rate, the earlier it might be necessary to start,' the meeting minutes said.
Mr Archer said: 'For the time being, we retain the view that interest rates are most likely to start edging up in the second quarter of 2015, but there is undeniably a very real and growing likelihood that the Bank of England will act before then.
'We suspect that a majority of MPC members will be willing to err on the side of caution in raising interest rates so as to give the economy every chance to develop more balanced, sustainable growth with business investment seeing extended improvement and exports increasingly kicking in.'
In contrast to confirmation of robust GDP growth in the first quarter, public finance figures for the month of April provided disappointing news for the Chancellor George Osborne, as public sector net borrowing soared to a much larger-than-expected £11.5billion from £9.5billion in April 2013.
Mr Archer said:'The disappointing public finance data for April are likely to reinforce the credit rating agency's caution about upgrading the UK's sovereign credit rating.'
Meanwhile, the ONS figures confirmed that the Chancellor just met the downwardly revised target for last year contained in March's budget, with deficit falling to £107.4billion from a previously reported £107.7billion.
'Nevertheless, a deficit of £107.4billion in 2013/14 highlighted the fact that here is still an awfully long way to go in getting the public finances into decent shape,' said Mr Archer.
