Getting your images out there once taken can be a complicated affair depending on what you're hoping to achieve. If it's just a simple commission with a client then that's easy, you email them a link (and a password if required) and you're done, they see their images and everyone is happy. It's the other stuff that takes a little more care and attention, especially when you are trying to factor in email marketing and social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook Pages, Twitter, and Instagram. I can be found on all of these by the way, but how do you make the task easier you ask? Well, it's a combination of RSS Feeds, MailChimp and a free app called IFTTT, which stands for If That Then This.
It basically breaks down your online activities (if that) and runs 'Applets' to coincide with your instructions (then this) that you can set up on their website or through an app on your smartphone.
I've been playing with it for awhile, mainly to help with the distribution of my iPhone pictures from Instagram to Twitter because Twitter in its infinite wisdom stopped the sharing of 3rd party pictures being displayed natively within tweets, to make you use their platform directly basically. I get it, it's a business, it needs users to actually use it, and I did for years, but then I've kind of got bored of it if I'm being honest. However, I'm slowly coming back round it, because I'm trying to build the brand of what I do back up again, and it's a great tool for that.
The First Strategy:
Pictures of 'random stuff' I like the look of or family orientated 'snaps' will go on Instagram and no further. This will take a bit of work, because it means I've to set up a new Applet that looks at my Instagram and if it sees a hashtag in there, for example #twitter, then it needs to be able to cross platform share that and ignore the others that don't have it.
- Told you this could be complicated.
The Second Strategy:
Any pictures I deem commercially viable for profit will be posted on two separate platforms, the primary being this website through my iPhone Photography section, which in turn will then distribute them to Instagram and Twitter with all the relevant copyright information triggered by and update on the RSS feed from that gallery, those share will contain links to back to source for purchasing (which would be nice). I have some really nice images on there, so there's no reason why someone wouldn't want to buy it. The other platform is a micro stock image resource called Stockimo, which again, if I'm being honest, isn't a massive money maker for me but it never hurts to keep your options open.
So why all the effort?
Automation of processes is what I do. I've been doing this for years for my wedding photography jobs where feedback suggests couples waiting up to 3 months or more with other photographers, just to see their wedding pictures. My couples typically wait 12 to 24 hours depending if I'm back to backing weddings.
With my photography services broadening out into other areas, such as music coverage and press (which I've always done) I felt it was time to expand the automation out to those areas too. There's a great musical culture in Ireland and I want get out there as much as possible to get those images of those artists out there.
As you've probably read in my previous blog, I'm embarking on another service too, the Aerial Photography Business. Much more on that later. But for now, check out my music section, and if you do know of any bands or singers who wouldn't mind getting some new images done (for free), send them my way.

Reflections from COP21, Thursday 10th December
Dirk Hoffmann, Klimablog "Climate Change Bolivia"
Everyone at COP 21 knows about the terrible impact of climate change on Small Island States – but what about the populations of the world´s mountain ranges who are amongst the most vulnerable and marginalised globally?
Mountains have not been very visible here at COP 21, but as it is International Mountain Day tomorrow (December 11th), a number of events will take place in an attempt to make mountain people and their struggle against the impacts of global change more visible.
Today´s side event 'Adapting to climate change – success stories and challenges from across mountain ranges' highlighted the impacts of climate change across the continents, with cases being presented from the Swiss Alps, Nepalese Himalayas, Peruvian Andes and Tajikistan Hindukush.
Meeta Pradhan from The Mountain Institute Nepal, presented the extra challenges that mountain dwellers are facing in the aftermath of the April 2015 earthquake, stressing the importance of improving preparedness and disaster risk reduction based on a livelihood and ecosystem based approach.
Mohammed El Moatamid from Morocco's Agricultural Ministry and the host country of COP22 presented Morocco's mountain development strategy, which offers hope that mountains might play a more prominent role within the climate negotiations in the future.
Mountains had already received special attention, when at the Peruvian Pavilion famous glaciologist Benjamín Morales announced the creation of an Andean Mountain Museums in the city of Huaraz in Peru.
On the sidelines of the negotiations it has also became known that the government of Switzerland is planning to propose an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Mountains; to broaden knowledge of climate change issues in mountains, put the science before key audiences and aim for a more substantial role of mountains within the context of the Climate Convention.
The event, co-organised by the government of Tajikistan, the Peruvian NGO Oikos and the Mountain Partnership coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), was the start celebration of International Mountain Day - for which the topic this year is the promotion of mountain products to improve livelihoods of mountain people.
Everyone is invited to join in on Friday 11th December at 13:15 in Observer Room 04. Happy Mountain Day everyone!

Joanna Read, UK Youth Climate Coalition and YOUNGO
Today has been more unusual for me than most. I usually take part in several 'actions' coordinated by YOUNGO, the recognised youth constituency of civil society that interacts with the UNFCCC. Actions are the most visible way to get a message across and usually attract lots of media. However after yesterday's mass action, where approx. 300 people from across civil society took part in calling for climate justice immediately outside the plenary halls, as we had not been given any other access to the negotiations, I was a bit 'actioned out'.
So I spent this morning meeting with some other YOUNGO members to write the text for our intervention to be given at the final plenary session (hopefully!) tomorrow. We discussed whether to be sarcastic, or angry, or connect to the negotiators emotionally, and how best to communicate our frustrations at the injustice of the text.
I also wrote an open letter to my country's negotiators, in response to the most recent draft version of the text which was released yesterday afternoon – they had dropped some key points such as gender equality, rights of Indigenous Peoples and intergenerational equity (rights for future generations) from the operative, legally-binding section of the agreement. Although it came out later that dropping intergenerational equity was a copy and paste error! We asked them to push to keep global average temperature increase below 1.5°C, and to choose the more ambitious Long Term Goal option. So I posted this letter as a blog and handed it to one of the UK negotiators at their offices, where we post a daily to do list under their door along with a Postcard to Paris, which contain messages from UK youth.
So we're all on tenterhooks for the next version of the text, ready and waiting for rapid response.
Renewable energy and energy efficiency are central pillars for decarbonising the energy sector. Moreover they hold collectively the greatest potential for addressing the climate crisis in a sustainable, decentralised and cost-effective way.
Despite the world's recent annual average of 1.5 per cent increase in energy consumption, and an average 3 per cent growth in GDP, CO2 emissions in 2014 were unchanged from 2013 levels. For the first time in four decades, the world economy grew without a parallel rise in CO2 emissions. This landmark 'decoupling' was due – in large part – to the increased use of renewable resources, and efforts to promote more sustainable growth through increased use of energy efficiency and renewable energy. This decarbonising of the economy also illustrates the place of renewables and energy efficiency at the heart of the solution to mitigate climate change.
The numbers speak for themselves. By the end of 2014, renewables contributed 19.1 per cent to the global final energy consumption and supplied 22.8 per cent of the world's electricity. Over the course of the year, renewables represented 59 per cent of net additions to global power capacity, clearly showing that a transition to renewables is well underway in the electricity sector. Nevertheless, this transition must be accelerated across all energy sectors. In 2014, renewables contributed only 8 per cent to the heating and cooling sector. And much more action is needed to decarbonise the transport sector.
It is evident that renewables are part of the solution agenda to reaching the 1.5°C objective. We have the technological solutions to address this challenge. Morally we have no excuse not to commit to an energy transition that moves us towards 100 per cent renewable energy and energy efficiency, and thereby ensuring energy access for all.
Renewables are cost-completive; the renewables train has left the station. An ambitious agreement coming out of the Paris talks would do much to help accelerate this transition.

Here's a little story about one of our first (and best) friends in the social media jewelry/beading world. Wendy is very kind, and talented, and sweet, and….I could go on…but for now, her story…
Wendy is a woman after our own hearts. Like us, she fits her creative business in and around her day job. She works at Macy's, mainly on the dock -- unloading trucks and processing incoming and outgoing (penny stock and damages) merchandise, mostly clothing. She also helps with fulfillment, packing and labeling orders to ship to customers. Some days she has to get up at 6:30 a.m., and some days at 8:00 a.m. The days she gets up at 6:30, it feels like it takes her half the day to wake up (hmmm, sounds familiar…) On her off days she spends a lot of time online sifting through emails and Facebook messages. She has learned that she can't read them all, and she stopped even trying (we can empathize…). She squeezes in time to make jewelry. (Again, sounds familiar!)
Wendy started making jewelry because she didn't like what was in stores, and didn't want to wear jewelry that hundreds, even thousands of other women were wearing. She didn't want the cookie-cutter-made-in-China stuff. After she had been making jewelry for a while, a friend convinced her to start selling it. (See some of our favorite items of hers here.)
Also like us, Wendy loves natural stones. She is savvy enough to know that a lot of stones are heat treated and dyed, or the color has been enhanced. While they can fool the amateur and may look pretty, Wendy knows that stones in their beautifully natural state are the best, and is meticulous about letting her buyers know if she has used any materials/stones that have been treated in any way.
She has a growing collection of stones and beads. Most of the time, she knows what she wants to do with them right away. But again like us, she often gets them in her hands and then puts off making something out of them. That's because she likes looking at them and she knows if she makes something, it will likely need to go up for sale, and then she'll miss them!
Wendy just finished a custom made wire wrapped ring for a friend. He bought a bracelet from her a couple of months ago and gave her a stone that he wanted made into a ring.
Wendy likes to get beads and findings from eBay and also from Auntie's Beads. She also gets beads from Magpie Gemstones, and buys copper and jeweler's bronze from The Whimsie Studio. She likes getting her wire from one source because she's sure it will all match. When she tried making something using wire from different sources, she wasn't happy with it – one was darker than the other. Whimsie Studios also has metal in sheets and rolls. For toggle clasps, she goes to Fusion Beads and Goody Beads. She feels the selection of toggle clasps has gotten a lot better recently. That's an important issue for Wendy. You see, she is partially disabled in both hands, and there is a lot of pain involved in making her jewelry. But she loves it and WILL NOT GIVE UP!!
Wendy's jewelry style consists of toggle clasps that allow a woman to style pieces to match her every mood and outfit. Two Toggle Artist Jewelry necklaces can be styled into four unique looks. Adding earrings and bracelets multiplies into many more options. And the bonus is that the toggles are the easiest to clasp for less than nimble fingers.
Most of Wendy's social media time is spent on Facebook. She does like Twitter and posts a lot there. She says she spends entirely too much time on Pinterest (ah yes, we are familiar with that addiction…) She's slowly getting into Google+, Instagram and Tumblr (you're ahead of us on this one, Wendy!).
Regarding other marketing tools, she recommends Fiverr (which we have used as well). In Wendy's case, she found someone through them to have a logo made for her Toggle Artist Jewelry store.
Here are some of Wendy's supplies and tools. The larger area where most of her stuff is kept is about 3 x 4 ft., and the rest is squeezed behind the recliner. She works mostly at the kitchen table. Very small, but She admits it's small, but her brother never expected it to have to sub as a work space. Out in the garage is where she keeps her anvil and her recently purchased tumblers.
Wendy, we admire you sooooo much. You are part of the army of brave working women who toil away every day and strive for more – and you will be a great success! We are your colleagues and friends, and we love your work and your courage and faith in yourself. Persevere!
Our dear audience, browse & shop Wendy's sites! Here's where to find her: http://toggleartistjewelry.storenvy.com/

Until next time,

The one theory about Halley`s comet that makes sense is the conspiracy theory.
Listen, wouldn`t somebody have seen it by now if there really were a Halley`s comet?
And, no, let`s not count those ``old timers`` from Poland to Pago Pago to Philadelphia who have been hired to swear they ``saw Halley`s comet`` the last time it ``appeared`` about 76 years ago.
(``Yup, clear as a bell it was that night, and me just a little kid, but I remember sitting on dad`s shoulders and him pointing into the sky out over the Steppes . . . ``)
No, we`re getting into the Tall Tales Department there, I`m afraid, but desperate straits do call for desperate measures. Even lies.
Hadn`t telescope and binocular sales plunged to rock bottom during the past 76 years?
Some say the decline in sales began when your formerly intrepid whale hunters went high tech, switching from ``some guy sitting in a bucket tied to the mast`` to electronic gadgets that emit beeping sounds when something the size of a two-car garage approaches their ship under water.
Then came the fatal blow. Wasn`t it found that your ocean liners will ply the oceans of the world much more reliably when propelled by computers in the home office than when controlled by the captain shivering on deck and peering into the dark through a telescope, especially in the rainy season?
What did this leave?
It left the occasional pair of binoculars sold to people going to the Orange Bowl for a football game or a rock concert, which hardly is sufficient to support an entire industry, and, in fact, my informed informants inform me that these are not actual binoculars anyhow but are containers for carrying alcoholic beverages secretly into the stadium, believe it or not.
(You may, on occasion, still see someone holding ``binoculars`` to his eyes at the Orange Bowl, but either this is an effort to deceive the authorities, or the containers have been filled with Murine, possibly because the owner has had too many alcoholic beverages already.)

Full marks for British Steel celebrating the success of their first hundred days, turning in a profit. This is down to their fantastic workforce.
It was great to see British Steel attending a Jobs Fair for their first time under their new banner at the Baths Hall. It was a busy, exciting event. When I arrived people were queuing outside to get in eager to find out more about the opportunities on offer locally.
As well as chatting to the many organisations present I was one of a number of local employers giving mock interviews to people who'd requested that experience. I hope my interviewees found the experience useful!!
If steel and jobs are my number one priority health is a close second. It was good to catch up with Ashby Dental Practice now it is back up and running providing an excellent service to patients.
It was good to hear from the GP practice representatives at the Patient Participation Group Forum. The main concerns were around ensuring we recruit and retain GPs locally. Recruitment and retention of medical staff was also a theme of the stakeholder meeting to report on the progress of the action plan in response to the Care Quality Commission Inspection of our local hospitals.
I was able to reflect on all these conversations at the end of a day of health matters in a few moments of reflection as I donated blood at the session held at the Pods. I smiled as I remembered that the local Women Against State Pension Injustice Group were sending birthday cards to the Prime Minister to try to jolt her conscience in relation to their plight.
My week began at the Labour Party Conference speaking at fringe meetings on the way in which the world is changing and the challenges we will face as a nation by 2030 and how we need to get ready for them. It ended with an excellent coffee morning meeting new Labour Party members. It's their energy and ideas that will ensure Labour does have the answers!

Using a proven methodology helps bring projects in on time and within budget. We work with several methodologies but at the same time we are flexible enough to adapt to your organizations needs.
Kimball multidimensional design
Information stored in facts and dimension is a very old concept (since the1960's) that has been growing in complexity and ability to deliver solutions. The last standardised application of this concept is the Kimball methodology, the most commonly accepted Data Warehouse design technique around the world.
It is a comprehensive solution of how to store, clean and offer information to be used by a Business Intelligence tools (reporting, cubes, FPM, etc). It is so powerful that it can work on its own using any simple reporting tool that you company may already have (such as Crystal Report or even Microsoft Excel).
At the same time it is very flexible. It is easy to modify, expand and improve. It can grow with your company without you needing to redo everything. You can prepare it to record changes in the structure in order to analyse the past from the present. It also includes methods to speed up only certain areas of your Data Warehouse if some information is not being provided fast enough for your reporting requirements.
It does not require any technology in particular and can be implemented in nearly any database system.
Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organising cross-functional teams.
The term was coined in the year 2001 when the Agile Manifesto was formulated. Agile methods generally promote a disciplined project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organisation and accountability, a set of engineering best practices intended to allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software, and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals.
Conceptual foundations of this framework are found in modern approaches to operations management and analysis, such as lean manufacturing, soft systems methodology, speech act theory (network of conversations approach), and Six Sigma.

What if you cam't figure out what your dream is
Dear Bloggers,
I have to make a lot of decisions at the moment and find hardly any time to follow my dreams. And I think it's a lot less about "What if" and more about "Why don't I know what my dream is?" and probably more importantly "Where can I find my dream?".
If you don't have a dream and don't care about not having a dream – well then you probably aren't reading this anyway. If you don't have a dream and you do wish you had one. Then I believe that wish for a dream is actually a sign that you do have a dream… it's just buried under some other stuff right now.
I'm going to share some possible scenarios of what could be happening here and some ideas for what to do with them:
Scenario 1: You know what your dream is, but you are scared to admit it to yourself or to others. This is completely understandable! Having a dream is scary. Having a dream and going after it means everything in tour life could change. Having a dream and going after it means taking big risks. By not admitting that you have a dream, you can avoid all of this change and risk and uncomfortable stuff.
And yet...well, it's still uncomfortable, isn't it?
In avoiding change and risk you also avoid the joy of the dream come true. Mostly you avoid doing the thing you really want to be doing.
Your dream isn't a superficial thing. It's important. It comes from your heart and your soul. It's tied to your purpose for being here on this planet. Avoid the dream and it will not go away. It will only grow more and more difficult to avoid. But all that stuff you are avoiding? It's real too. And it's scary. Pretending it's not there is not a good plan.
What may work here: Admitting it very quietly by writing it in your diary or your agenda. Start to give the dream just a little bit of space. You don't have to tell anyone else about it and you certainly don't have to do anything about it. Just give it some space to be and see what comes of that. Baby steps.
Scenario 2: You know what your dream is, but don't believe that you can have it, so it's kind of uncomfortable to think about it.
Awww. First I just want to give you a hug. Everything I said above about your dream is true: Your dream isn't a superficial thing. It's important. It comes from your heart and your soul. It's tied to your purpose for being here on this planet. And also: Avoid the dream and it will not go away. It will only grow more and more difficult to avoid.
That last part is even more true in this case. Your dream is really important and it is asking you to work through your fear that you don't deserve it or can't have it for some reason. It is asking you to believe. What may work here: Asking "What if?" What if it was OK for me to pursue this dream? What If if was OK for me to have this dream? What do I think I deserve? What would have to happen in order for me to believe I deserve more?
Forcing yourself to go after your dream won't be helpful here, working on changing your mind about what is possible for you will be helpful. Taking some slow baby steps towards your dreams may be helpful too. Sometimes that "I don't think I can have it" starts to fade when it sees evidence that you really can have it.
Scenario 3: There is so much that you want to do, that you can't pick just one to identify as "your dream". Well this is actually a fantastic situation to be in, even though it doesn't always feel like it. I really believe it's better to have too many ideas than too few. I always have way more ideas and dreams than I can possibly work on.
Sometimes this "I have so many things I want to do I can't commit to one thing" is just a way of sabotaging yourself, usually due to one of the fears mentioned above, so you may want to check those out and see if any of the ideas there feel like they may be helpful to you. If that's not it, then what is happening here is a bottleneck. Too many ideas, too little time/resources and nothing can get through. You relieve the bottleneck by choosing some dreams to work on now and putting the other dreams aside for now. If the thought of putting some dreams aside makes you freak out a little: look at what is really happening here.
If you focus on one or two dreams for now, and actually bring them to life, then it becomes much easier to go back to those other dreams and bring them to life as well. With each dream come true you become more experienced at bringing dreams to life and you open up new possibilities for how to bring your dreams to life.
But still, choosing can be hard. What may work here: Asking yourself Which dreams am I most passionate about? This might help to narrow it down. If you start to work on the dream that you are most passionate about, all that passion can help to make it happen faster, so you can get back to the other dreams.
Or you can ask yourself Which dreams feel the easiest to work on right now? which is, of course, the easier way to go. Pick the low hanging fruit. Start with the easy dreams and work your way up. It could be that nothing feels easy but something is bound to feel easier than the others.
It can be hard to put some dreams aside. I have a desktop computer that is my place to put all of my opinions, ideas and dreams in. This way it doesn't feel like they are lost, they are waiting for their right time to be brought to life. And sometimes, because creative dreams are magic, those dreams sitting in the notebook come true all on their own. Because they're been taken out of the bottleneck! Dreams stuck in a bottleneck tend to not come true.
Scenario 4: You really just don't know what your dream is:
Ask yourself: If I could have anything you want, what would it be? If you had no limits. None at all. Where would you live? How would you live? What would you do? How would you spend your days? How would you feel? What kinds of hobbies would you have? What would your social life be life? Your romantic life? Your finances? Your health? Your creativity? Your spirituality?
Somewhere in all of that there must be something you dream of. Something you want to build in your world. Your dreams are about so much more than wanting things to be different than they are. Your dreams are how you express your purpose and authenticity and uniqueness. Your dreams are healing. Your dreams can make a huge difference.
You don't have to know what your dream is before you start working on it! I know, that sounds kind of crazy but it's true. You can make finding your dream the dream you work on! Give your dreams a chance and live them you will be so much happier.
The Old Sailor,

Weight gain! We are BACK, baby!
Just a little happy note! We had to go in to the doc for some unhappy times (B and I are sick, blah!) but since we were there, they measured her and weighed her. Well, I am very happy to say that all the weight she lost from her avocado reaction in February is finally back!!!!!!!!! She lost about 2 pounds and as of two days ago, she is back to the weight she was before her avocado reaction! I am SO HAPPY!!!! After her reaction, she continued to lose weight for about 3 1/2 weeks following and it was pretty obvious that she wasn't fully digesting her meals (if you know what I mean) but now she is doing great! If we can keep her free from severe reactions, she might have a growth spurt yet!!!!

Fan Favorite Episode Series: The Rhinitis Revelation
TBBT Fan Favorites
In honor of the Big Bang Theory Season 11 renewal, we've decided to look back at some of the TBBT fan's favorite episodes. There have been so many funny plot lines and conflicts over the years, it's fun to look back and try to remember everything that's happened.
This time around we're remembering The Rhinitis Revelation. This episode features one of our favorite guest stars, Laurie Metcalf, coming to the Big Bang Theory set as Mary Cooper. Sheldon and his friends find themselves competing for the doting mother's affections and attention.
Mary Cooper Comes To Town
First of all, Mary Cooper's reason for visiting Sheldon this time around is hysterical. She's waiting to join a Christian's cruise entitled "The Born Again Boat Ride." Nothing has ever been more typical Mary Cooper behavior. Sheldon is a bit spoiled and expects Mary to cook for him the entire time and dote upon him.
However, Mary seems to enjoy Sheldon's friend's suggestions more than her own cooking. She ends up getting sushi with Leonard. She also comforts Raj in a time of heartbreak instead of making Sheldon's favorite pie.
Sheldon Revelations
Sheldon soon begins acting like a child, jealous of his mother's attention going elsewhere. When Mary engages in a conversation with Penny about clothing, Sheldon can barely stand himself. She even decides to take Amy to a Nobel Prize Winner's lecture, instead of Sheldon.
Sheldon has come a long way throughout ten seasons of emotional growth, and this episode is a great example. Amy points out in this episode that no matter how intelligent Sheldon is, he's still going to feel the same emotions as everyone else- including jealousy.
Of course, the episode ends with the iconic singing of Soft Kitty. Sheldon learns that his relationship with his mother will have to change as an adult, but some things never will always remain the same.
Great quotes:
Mrs. Cooper: I am still going out with your friends.
Sheldon: But I apologized. And that was hard for me since I didn't do anything wrong.
Leonard: Mrs. Cooper, were we supposed to take that pie out of the oven?
Sheldon: Get out.(Leonard exits and closes door)
Mrs. Cooper: Well, that was rude.
Sheldon: I know, but he means well.
Do you remember this TBBT fan favorite episode?

Our philosophy
Our goal at Vertical, as enthusiasts and athletes of all levels, is to design products with the best technical features and the most competitive prices; all whilst keeping our core principle design features of creating light and ergonomically designed products.
- Why so light? Because a 100g saving in weight allows a runner during a 30 km run, to save 3 tons of thrust force on the thighs. So; imagine the difference a 500g reduction in weight makes? For us and our customers, this lightness is not just a luxury, but rather a necessity.
- Ergonomic designs are paramount to ensure the highest level of comfort during use. Clothing should not only be comfortable, but equally it should be designed to fit to the body shape and allow for easy access to equipment. The equipment needed for mountain climbing shouldn't have to be a hindrance to your performance, it should help you through each challenge, regardless of the level of difficulty.

RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announces that a shareholder class action lawsuit has been filed against Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq: WYNN) ("Wynn Resorts" or the "Company") on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018, inclusive (the "Class Period").
Wynn Resorts shareholders who purchased securities during the Class Period may, no later than April 23, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.
Shareholders who wish to discuss this action or request additional information about the lawsuit are encouraged to contact Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check attorneys D. Seamus Kaskela or Adrienne Bell at (888) 299-7706 or online at: https://www.ktmc.com/new-cases/wynn-resorts-limited#join
Wynn Resorts owns and operates luxury hotels and destination resorts in, among other places, Las Vegas and Macau, China. Until recently, Stephen ("Steve") A. Wynn was the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
The shareholder class action complaint alleges that Wynn Resorts and certain of the Company's executive officers made a series of false and misleading statements to investors during the Class Period, and failed to disclose that: (i) the Company's founder and CEO, Steve Wynn, had engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct with respect to Wynn Resorts employees; (ii) discovery of the foregoing misconduct would subject the Company to heightened regulatory scrutiny and jeopardize Steve Wynn's tenure at the Company; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Wynn Resorts' shares traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
On January 26, 2018, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled "Dozens of People Recount Pattern of Sexual Misconduct by Las Vegas Mogul Steve Wynn." According to the article, "dozens of people … who have worked at Mr. Wynn's casinos told of behavior that cumulatively would amount to a decades-long pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Wynn."
Following this news, shares of the Company's stock declined $20.31 per share, or over 10%, to close on January 26, 2018 at $180.29, on unusually heavy trading volume. The following trading day the Company's stock declined an additional $16.81 per share, or 9.3%, to close on January 29, 2018 at $163.48, again on heavy trading volume.
Wynn Resorts shareholders may, no later than April 23, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class in the action. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check prosecutes class actions in state and federal courts throughout the country. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check is a driving force behind corporate governance reform, and has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of institutional and individual investors from the United States and around the world. The firm represents investors, consumers and whistleblowers (private citizens who report fraudulent practices against the government and share in the recovery of government dollars). The complaint in this action was not filed by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check. For more information about Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, please visit www.ktmc.com.

Regional manufacturers are optimistic about the economy over the next six months despite concerns over rising raw material prices and the effect of the new federal health care law.
A survey released Thursday by Creighton University showed a surge in business confidence starting off 2014. Its business confidence index, which looks six months ahead, soared to 66.5 in December from 57.2 in November. Any reading above 50 is considered positive.
Ernie Goss, director of the Omaha university's economic forecasting group, said "the resolution of the federal budget impasse and improvements in the nation's housing sector" gave supply managers' optimism a boost.
But when asked to identify the biggest challenge to growth prospects for their company or industry this year, more than a third cited escalating prices for materials. Next, according to more than 20 percent of the respondents, were higher costs and uncertainties surrounding implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The third biggest potential hurdle this year for regional factories is rising regulatory costs, the survey said.
The report also said the monthly Mid-America Business Conditions Index climbed in December for the second consecutive month, with a reading of 53.2 "tepid," but better than the 51.2 recorded in November. The index ranges between 0 and 100, with any reading over 50 indicating a growing economy over the next three to six months.
The index measures new orders, production, employment, inventories and delivery lead time for manufacturers in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Regional manufacturers said the job market weakened in December, particularly among businesses tied to agriculture. On the other hand, job growth for trucking and rail companies remained strong, the survey said.
Also Thursday, the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said its national index of manufacturing activity slipped to 57 from 57.3 in November. But that's still the second-highest reading in the past 2½ years.
A measure of new orders rose to its highest since April 2010. And a gauge of hiring increased to its highest level since June 2011. Production and a measure of manufacturers' stockpiles fell.
"It is clear that growth remained strong at the end of last year, and this should continue into 2014," said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics.

Composing involves listening to the world around you. What are the rhythms connecting my body with the outside world? I hear them in beautiful little details like the hum of the fridge or the noise of the record just before the song starts. I am interested in hybrid electronic and acoustic instruments that I use to manipulate these sounds, and in physical ways to perform electronic music live: with light sensors, touch, gesture or brainwaves.
My work is often interdisciplinary, I collaborate a lot with other artists. I have worked internationally with dancers, choreographers, light designers and filmmakers, like choreographers Kenzo Kusuda, Martin Butler, Roser Lopez Espinosa, Pere Gay I Faura and with the Guangdong Modern Dance Company from China. I have performed throughout Europe, in China, South Korea, the United States and Venezuela. I have worked with choreographer / visual artist Luis Lara Malvacias in Danspace/St. Marks Church, Dance Theatre Workshop and The Kitchen in New York. My work has been presented at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and in 2011 I was a guest composer at the University of North Texas. I am also active as curator and member of composers collective Monoták.

However, that doesn't mean there was a lull on the cooking side of things; eating wonderful leisurely food is one of my favourite parts of being on holiday.
And, today's delicious recipe epitomises the lazy, easy, sunny feeling of the holiday food that I'm after. Straight from the domestic goddess we all love and know as Nigella Lawson - her take on Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca which translates into english as whore's pasta, i.e. the wonderfully named Slut's Spaghetti.
After watching her make it on TV, I decided to cook it for me and mum one night when we were having a girly night to ourselves, and was pleasantly surprised that it actually was as easy as she made it look. One for people who like strong flavours, it consists of anchovies, olives, capers and garlic in a tomato sauce and here is how you can make it yourself.
Ingredients - This serves 4-6, I halved it for two and still had some left over.
- 3tbsp olive oil
- 8 anchovies, drained and finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1/2 tsp of dried chilli flakes
- 500g spaghetti
- 1 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
- 150g pitted black olives, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp small capers, rinsed and drained
- fresh parsley, to garnish
- salt and pepper to season
|'melted' anchcovies
- Heat your oil in a large shallow frying pan, on a medium heat.
- Add the anchovies, cook for 3 minutes whilst stirring and pressing with a wooden spoon until they have, as Nigella says, "melted" (you will see exactly what she means when they are cooking). Add the chilli flakes and the garlic and cook for a further minute
- Add your spaghetti to a pan of salted boiling water and follow the instructions on the packet in terms of cooking time.
- Add the tomatoes, capers and olives and cook for ten minutes, stirring every once in a while; it will thicken at this point.
- A great tip here - when your spaghetti is almost done, remove a small cupful of cooking water and put it to the side. Then, when your pasta is cooked, add it to the frying pan of sauce and you can also add some of the saved pasta water to help the sauce and pasta combine if needs be.

Dr. Rowan Williams to challenge infighting over gays and women bishops
Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent
Times Online
February 9, 2010
Dr Rowan Williams is to challenge Church infighting
The Archbishop of Canterbury will fight threats of disintegration in the Church of England with what is expected to be a forceful intervention at the General Synod today.
Dr Rowan Williams is determined to challenge the increasingly bitter infighting sparked by disagreements over women bishops in England and gay ordinations in the US.
In one of the most important presidential addresses of his seven-year archiepiscopacy, described by one insider as a "brilliant piece of work", the Archbishop is expected to salvage hope from the despair felt by many Anglicans over pressure brought by the liberal, evangelical and Catholic wings of the established Church.
Anglican leaders are increasingly concerned at the way that the Church's tussles over women and gays is hindering its mission to proclaim the gospel to the nation. The synod was told yesterday that the Church of England was suffering a "testosterone deficit" caused by a "seriously out-of- line" gender balance. The synod heard anecdotal evidence suggesting that women are playing an increasingly important role in the Church, and when it comes to attendance bishops should be actively pursuing missions directed at men.
Dr Williams's address comes after a decision to proceed with the ordination of women bishops with no significant concessions to traditionalists.
He is also expected to address a contentious debate tomorrow about a motion to recognise the new conservative evangelical Anglican Church in North America, which was created by traditionalists who have been deposed or broken away in the dispute over gay ordination in the US.
Lorna Ashworth, a lay synod member from the Diocese of Chichester, is calling for the Church of England to afford the new church recognition within the Anglican Communion. This would be no more than symbolic but it would add weight to any formal request from the new church to become an extra province within the Anglican Communion.
Bishops have put up an alternative motion designed to wreck Ms Ashworth's motion by stalling it for the foreseeable future.
Dr Williams's speech will come as the Church faces losing thousands of laity and clergy from conservative and Catholic traditions over the issue of women bishops. When the synod agreed two years ago to proceed with the legislation to consecrate women, Dr Williams was among the bishops who voted against a simple measure and wanted concessions to keep Anglo-Catholics and evangelicals on board. Traditionalists hoped for similar arrangements to when women were ordained priests in 1994, and the synod set up a system of "flying bishops" to care for traditionalists. But under the proposals announced yesterday after months of debate, the Church has been unable to find a way to make provision for traditionalists without turning women bishops into "second-class" consecrations.
The conservative evangelical group Reform warned that as a result the Church of England would suffer a drastic cut in men seeking ordination. In an open letter from 50 Anglican clergy, Reform said that in the past ten years it had sent more than 180 men into the Church of England priesthood and also contributed £20 million to church coffers. Issuing an implicit threat of withdrawal of funds, the group warned that it would finance the training of new ordinands outside the Church of England should women bishops go ahead without measures to mollify opponents.
The evangelical wing is one of the few parts of the Church of England that is growing, and is also the wealthiest and tends to have the youngest congregations.
The Synod's Catholic Group said that it was "deeply disappointed and dismayed" by the statement made to Synod by the Bishop of Manchester, the Right Rev Nigel McCulloch, chairman of the revision committee that has been trying to find a way forward.
Spokesman Martin Dales, of the York diocese, said: "We believe that the vast majority of ordinary members of the Church of England would not want to see the consecration of women to the episcopate as the trigger for the exclusion from the church of a large number of faithful Anglicans." He warned that this is what will now happen. "If the committee refuses to provide an alternative source of episcopal oversight for those who cannot accept the jurisdiction and sacramental ministry of a woman bishop, and General Synod follows the same course, then those who hold to the traditional teaching of the Church must either leave or sacrifice their consciences.
"We cannot believe that is just or right - not only with respect to those who have reservations about the ordination of women, but for the sake of the mission and unity of the whole of the Church of England."
He said that Anglican Catholics on the synod would fight the legislation when it comes back to synod in July. "Across the country there are thousands of people who could leave over this, a lot of them irregular worshippers, particularly in rural areas, who just feel they have not been listened to." He predicted that hundreds of priests would leave.
Traditionalists on the Catholic wing of the Church of England oppose women bishops because they argue that Jesus had no female disciples and that the apostolic succession of bishops should therefore be male. On the evangelical wing, they oppose women bishops and priests because St Paul wrote to the Corinthians that the woman should not be head of the man.
The Bishop of Manchester, the Right Rev Nigel McCulloch, told the synod that attempts to find a way of creating a safe space for traditionalists had failed. These would have provided a church within a church, or what have been called "super flying bishops" to replace the flying bishops that are in place at present to look after opponents of women priests.
Instead, the existing three flying bishop posts are to be abolished and not replaced. Instead, any women consecrated bishops will be asked to "delegate" authority to another bishop, such as a suffragan, to carry out confirmations and other episcopal duties in parishes that refuse to accept her ministry.
The historic decision, to be ratified by the synod in July, paves the way for women bishops to be consecrated as soon as 2012, once all parliamentary hurdles have been cleared. Canon Jane Hedges at Westminster Abbey and Canon Lucy Winkett at St Paul's are among the favourites to be ordained as the first women bishops in the Church of England.
Supporters of women voiced relief at the decision because it means that even where opponents opt for the ministry of the bishop delegated to look after them, there will be no alternative hierarchical structure of oversight that could make it appear as though the mother church of the Anglican Communion was being half-hearted about women bishops, or in any way doubting the integrity of their orders.
It will bring England in line with Canada, New Zealand and the US. Even Scotland and Ireland have voted to have women bishops already and although a woman was shortlisted in Scotland last month, none has yet been consecrated.
One effect will be to increase the number of Anglicans taking up Pope Benedict XVI's offer to join the new Anglican Ordinariate. Catholics have criticised the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, for saying in an interview last week that those Anglicans who respond to Pope Benedict's invitation to join the Catholic Church under the provisions of the new Apostolic Constitution, would not be "proper Catholics".
The Church has been trying to do the impossible and square a circle over the issue, by going ahead with women bishops while creating some form of statutory provision for traditionalists. The revision committee was forced to postpone its plans to address the issue at this week's meeting after more than 300 submissions were received by the group drafting the legislation.
Christina Rees of Watch, which supports women bishops, said: "The measure will have aspects of delegation and I welcome that. They have broken through the sound barrier of trying to find something that would work for everyone. they have looked at a huge array of different options. Now they are back on the track that synod asked them to go down last year which is fairly simple legislation which will allow women bishops and which will have certain arrangements for those who are opposed.
"We have gone as far as we can go without making a nonsense of the substantive issue, which is that we have said yes to women bishops. But I would be sorry to see anyone leave the church over women's ordination. Being able to open the episcopate to women is a call for rejoicing." The synod will later this week also debate a motion criticising the BBC for cutting back on religious programming.
The controversy over women bishops came as church members voice growing concern at the Church of England's "testosterone deficit" due to the feminisation of its demography. Canon Simon Bessant of the Sheffield diocese told the Synod: "There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support the view that the gender balance in Church of England congregations is getting seriously out of line." The Bishop of Bristol, the Right Rev Michael Hill admitted this raised questions over structure and leadership but these were "best left" to the Bishop of Manchester's revision committee on women bishops. He added: "I believe every bishop is concerned to build a well-balanced church, and mission among men and younger people is on everyone's agenda."

"My donation is my gratitude for what Canada has done for me and my family"
By Siva Sivapragasam
Peter Munk and his family fled Hungary in 1944 to escape the brutalities of the Nazis and later settled down in Canada to start life from scratch. He made enough wealth but was also convinced that the "wealth should flow back to society one day". He made this a realty by donating an unprecedented amount of one hundred million dollars last month to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre run by the University Health Centre at the Toronto General Hospital.
The University Health Network acknowledged that this historic gift "represents the largest commitment to a Canadian hospital in our country's 150-year history and builds on Peter and Melanie's extraordinary legacy of philanthropy." Himself a heart patient, Mr. Munk and his wife, Melanie, have supported the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre for more than two decades with an amount that now stands at more than $175 million.
The news, delivered by Brian Porter, Chair of the Board of University Health Network (UHN), drew thunderous applause from a packed room of patients, medical staff, business leaders, donors and government officials, including Ontario's health minister.
This gift, which will bring the Munks' support of UHN and the PMCC to more than $175 million since 1993, will primarily be used to develop a data-driven digital cardiovascular health platform that reduces costs, advances medical research, and improves the outcomes of patients with cardiac and vascular disease.
The Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (PMCC), established through the generous support of the Munks, is the premier cardiac centre in Canada. Since its opening, the Centre has saved and improved the lives of cardiac and vascular patients from around the world. Each year, over 163,000 patients receive innovative and compassionate care from multidisciplinary teams in the PMCC.
(The writer can personally vouch for the excellent treatment and nursing care he experienced at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre years ago after his successful by-pass surgery performed by the well-known Cardiac surgeon Dr. Cusimano).

Veal Chops with Sage-Balsamic Sauce and Warm Mushroom Salad
The balsamic-based marinade combines with red currant jelly for a piquant sauce.
How to Make It
To prepare veal, combine first 7 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add chops; seal bag, tossing gently to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat broiler.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Remove chops from marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle chops with salt. Add to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove chops from pan.
To prepare salad, place onion and mushrooms, gill sides up, on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Combine soy sauce, 1 tablespoon juice, and honey, stirring with whisk. Spoon soy sauce mixture evenly over mushrooms and onion. Broil 3 minutes; turn onion. Broil an additional 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Cut the mushrooms into thick slices. Combine mushrooms, onion, chives, and parsley. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss gently.
To prepare sauce, combine reserved marinade, broth, and jelly; add to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 6 minutes), stirring frequently. Serve sauce with chops and mushroom salad.

28days until SEASON KICKSOFF!!
Football is the
national game. All those involved with the game at every level and whether as a
player, match official, coach, owner or administrator, have a responsibility,
above and beyond compliance with the law, to act according to the highest
standards of integrity, and to ensure that the reputation of the game is, and
remains, high. This code applies to all those involved in football under the
auspices of The Football Association.
Football, at all
levels, is a vital part of a community. Football will take into account
community feeling when making decisions.
Football is opposed
to discrimination of any form and will promote measures to prevent it, in
whatever form, from being expressed.
Football recognises
the sense of ownership felt by those who participate at all levels of the game.
This Includes those who play, those who coach or help in any way, and those who
officiate, as well as Administrators and supporters. Football is committed to
appropriate consultation.
Young People
Football acknowledges
the extent of its influence over young people and pledges to set a positive
Football acknowledges
that public confidence demands the highest standards of financial and
behaviour within the game, and will not tolerate corruption or improper
Trust and Respect
Football will uphold
a relationship of trust and respect between all involved in the game, whether
they are Individuals, clubs or other organisations.
Football rejects the
use of violence of any nature by anyone involved in the game.
Football is committed
to fairness in its dealings with all involved in the game.
Integrity and Fair Play
Football is committed
to the principle of playing to win consistent with Fair Play.
Coaches are key to
the establishment of ethics in football. Their concept of ethics is their
attitude directly affects the behaviour of players under their supervision.
Coaches are, therefore, expected to pay particular care to the moral aspect of
their conduct.
Coaches have to be
aware that almost all of their everyday decisions and choices of actions, as
well as strategic targets, have ethical implications. It is natural that
winning constitutes a basic concern for coaches. This code is not intended to
conflict with that. However, the code calls for coaches to disassociate
themselves from a "win-at-all-costs" attitude.
responsibility is requested from coaches involved in coaching young people. The
health, safety, welfare and moral education of young people are a first
priority, before the achievement or the reputation of the club, school, coach
or parent.
Set out below is The
F.A. Coaches Association Code of Conduct (which reflects the standards
expressed by the National Coaching Foundation and the National Association of
Sports Coaches), which forms the benchmark for all involved in coaching:
1. Coaches must
respect the rights, dignity and worth of each and every person and treat each
equally within the context of the sport.
2. Coaches must place
the well-being and safety of each player above all other considerations,
including the development of performance.
3. Coaches must
adhere to all guidelines laid down by governing bodies.
4. Coaches must
develop an appropriate working relationship with each player based on mutual
trust and respect.
5. Coaches must not
exert undue influence to obtain personal benefit or reward.
6. Coaches must
encourage and guide players to accept responsibility for their own behaviour
and performance.
7. Coaches must
ensure that the activities they direct or advocate are appropriate for the age,
maturity, experience and ability of players.
8. Coaches should, at
the outset, clarify with the players (and, where appropriate, parent) exactly
what is expected of them and also what they are entitled to expect from their
9. Coaches must
co-operate fully with other specialists (e.g. other coaches, officials, sports
scientists, doctors, physiotherapists) in the best interests of the player.
10. Coaches must
always promote the positive aspects of the sport (e.g. fair play) and never
condone violations of the Laws of the Game, behaviour contrary to the spirit of
the Laws of the Game or relevant rules and regulations or the use of prohibited
substances or techniques.
11. Coaches must
consistently display high standards of behaviour and appearance.
12. Coaches must not
use or tolerate inappropriate language.
Players are the most
important people in the sport. Playing for the team, and for the team to win,
is the most fundamental part of the game. But not winning at any cost – Fair Play
and respect for all others in the game is fundamentally important.
This Code focuses on
players involved in top-class football. Nevertheless, the key concepts in the
Code are valid for players at all levels.

3. Set a positive

4. Avoid all forms of
gamesmanship and time wasting.
5. Always have regard
for the best interests of the game, including where publicly expressing an
opinion on the game and any particular aspect of it, including others involved
in the game.
6. Not use
inappropriate language.

1. Make every effort
consistent with Fair Play and the Laws of the Game to help his own team win.

throughout the club at every level. Football belongs to and should be enjoyed
by everyone, equally. Our commitment is to confront and eliminate
discrimination whether by reason of sex, sexual orientation, race, nationality,
ethnic origin, colour, religion or disability.
Equality of
opportunity at Corinthian Casuals Football Club means that in all our
activities we will not discriminate or in any way treat anyone less favourably,
on grounds of sex, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ethnic origin,
colour, religion or disability.
This includes:

Football Club will not tolerate sexual or racially based harassment or other
discriminatory behaviour, whether physical or verbal, and will work to ensure
that such behaviour is met with appropriate action in whatever context it
Corinthian Casuals
Football Club is committed to the development of the programme of ongoing
training and awareness raising events and activities, in order to promote the
eradication of discrimination within its own organisation, and within football
as a whole.
Corinthian Casuals
Football Club is committed to a policy of equal treatment of all members and
requires all members of whatever level or authority, to abide and adhere to
this general principle and the requirements of the Codes of Practice issued by
the Equal Opportunities Commission and Commission for Racial Equality.
All members are
expected to abide by the requirements of the Race Relations Act 1976, Sex
Discrimination Act 1986 and Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Specifically
discrimination is prohibited by:
Treating any
individual on grounds of gender, colour, marital status, race, nationality or
ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability less
favourably than others.
Expecting an
individual solely on the grounds stated above to comply with requirement(s) for
any reason whatsoever related to their membership, which is different from the
requirements for others.
Imposing on
individual requirements, which are in effect more onerous on that individual
than they are on others. For example, this would include applying a condition,
which makes it more difficult for members of a particular race or sex to comply
than others not of that race or sex.
Any other act or
omission of an act, which has as its effect the disadvantaging of a member
against another, or others, purely on the above grounds. Thus, in all the
Club's recruitment, selection, promotion and training processes, as well as
disciplinary matters, it is essential that merit, experience, skills and
temperament are considered as objectively as possible.
Corinthian Casuals

Any member found
guilty of discrimination will be instructed to desist forthwith. Since
discrimination in its many forms is against the Football Club's policy, any
members offending will be dealt with under the disciplinary procedure.
The Football Club
commits itself to the disabled person whenever possible and will treat such
members, in aspects of their recruitment and membership, in exactly the same
manner as other members. The difficulties of their disablement permitting
assistance will be given, wherever possible to ensure that disabled members are
helped in gaining access. Appropriate training will be made to such members who
request it.
The Football
Association, along with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Health
and Safety Executive and the British Standards Institution, would like to draw
your attention to the following guidelines for the safe use of goalposts. Too
many serious injuries and fatalities have occurred in recent years as a result
of unsafe or incorrect use of goalposts. Safety is always of paramount
importance and everyone in football must play their part to prevent similar
incidents occurring in the future.
1. For safety reasons goalposts of any size
(including those which are portable and not installed permanently at a pitch or
practice field) must always be anchored securely to the ground.
Portable goalposts
must be secured by the use of chain anchors or appropriate anchor weights to
prevent them from toppling forward.
It is essential that
under no circumstances should children or adults be allowed to climb, swing on
or play with the structures of the goalposts.
Particular attention
is drawn to the fact that if not properly assembled and secured, portable
goalposts may topple over.
Regular inspections
of goalposts should be carried out to check that they are kept properly
2. Portable goalposts should not be left in place
after use. They should be dismantled and removed to a place of secure storage.
3. It is strongly recommended that nets should only
be secured by plastic hooks or tape and not by metal cup hooks. Any metal cup
hooks should be removed and replaced. New goalposts should not be purchased if
they include metal cup hooks, which cannot be replaced.
4. Goalposts which are "home made" or which have
been altered from their original size or construction should not be used. These
have been the cause of a number of deaths and injuries.
5. Guidelines to prevent toppling:
i. Follow
Manufacturer's guidelines in assembling goalposts.
ii. Before use,
adults should:
These must be
repeated until it is established that the structure is secure. If not,
alternative goals/pitches must be used.
Corinthian Casuals FC
will operate the Football Associations recommended guidelines for child
protection. The club will appoint a Child Protection Officer who will deal with
all the practices around child protection. Copies of the Football Associations
Practices and Procedures can be obtained from the Club Secretary.
The aims of the
Football Associations Child Protection Policy are;
To promote ethics and
high standards of football.

procedures below.
1. They should report the
matter to the Club Secretary or another member of the Committee.

A man was jailed after he allegedly punched a woman in the face repeatedly during a robbery attempt, Bradenton Police said.
Officers responded to a fight in progress involving a man and woman behind a convenience store at 1718 14th St. W. around 3:06 a.m. Saturday, according to a police report.
When they got there, they found the woman, who had suffered facial fractures and a broken jaw.
Officers in the area then found a man matching a description they were looking for, and witnesses were able to positively identify him.
The woman was taken to Blake Medical Center for treatment. There, she told authorities in an interview the suspect attempted to rob her and when she resisted, he punched her in the face over and over.
The suspect, identified as Broderick Furlow, 27, was charged with attempted robbery and aggravated battery. He remained in custody Saturday evening and was being held without bond, police said.
The victim had been downgraded to stable condition and remained hospitalized, according to police.
