Haydn Whitcombe was voted as the Harrowbrook MOT Centre Supporters' Man of the Match in the defeat against Chelmsley Town yesterday.
Despite the defeat, the former Littleton 'keeper made a couple of stunning saves to ensure AFC still had hopes of pulling level late on – denying Stephen Sadler's 25 yarder in the first half and Kaine Williams' close range effort in the second.
Sam Agar, who scored once and hit the bar twice, ran him close in second.
Well played, Haydn!

Each year our Talent Attraction Scorecard examines the success of communities in attracting and developing talent. With five years of data and rankings, we now have a clear picture of how each community is trending.
But kind of like how records are meant to be broken, trends (at least the bad ones) are meant to be reversed. And perhaps the only thing harder than getting your talent attraction and development efforts going in the right direction, is keeping them going that way.
To help with this, we couple each year's Scorecard with strategies. These are derived from our years of work with communities and observations of what's working across the country.
The pandemic has forced communities to respond to the impacts of accelerated migration trends and telework on talent attraction and development. We've folded these impacts and others into our five strategies, which are broken out over time. Below is an overview of the strategies, but be sure and download the guide for a full dive with community examples.
0 to 6 months: Attracting Talent
6 months to 2 years: Transferable Skills and Responsive Programs
2 to 4 years: Technical and Certificate Programs
4 to 7 years: Higher Education
7 to 10 years: Preparing for a Long-Term Future
0 to 6 months: Attracting Talent
The spike in remote work over the last year has allowed people to take their talents to South Beach, Boise, New Orleans, or wherever they feel is a better fit. This presents a great opportunity for communities to capture talent that is on the move. If pursuing remote workers, remember to be yourself. You don't need to try to make yourself attractive to every type of worker. Whatever your strengths, highlight those and let talent decide if it's what they're after.
Similarly, be targeted. Maybe you want to lure back graduates or fill a particular skill gap. Take some time to determine which segment of remote workers you want to pursue. And something to keep in mind is that remote work is no longer just for tech workers/professionals. Now, employees in fields as varied as marketing, legal, and healthcare have joined its ranks. So when thinking through the type of worker to attract, know that you have lots of options.
Lastly, it's going to be important to be creative. Incentives and remote worker programs were already on the rise, and the pandemic has reinvigorated them. You'll need to think through new and interesting ways to market your community in order to set yourself apart.
6 months to 2 years: Transferable Skills and Responsive Programs
New technologies are creating new jobs and altering existing ones at a constant pace. At the same time, a wide swath of people are still unemployed due to the pandemic.
This means communities need to be nimble with their training programs, respond quickly to shifts, and emphasize reskilling and upskilling. One of the best ways to do this is to stay in close contact with executives and HR managers at your local businesses. They can keep you knowledgeable on in-demand skills. Job postings data also provides real-time info about employer intentions and needs.
Skills are particularly useful when helping people change careers, advance in their current role, or find a new job. Increasingly, today's jobs require a combination of human and technical skills. As your community seeks to rapidly reemploy displaced workers and also upskill talent for new market demands, a good place to start is identifying existing skills that can be transferred.
2 to 4 years: Technical and Certificate Programs
At this stage, you need to identify the talent needs of the industries you want to strengthen and grow. Just as it's important to understand the current talent needs of these businesses, it's vital to understand the needs they see on the horizon. Your existing businesses know the technologies and trends of their industry, so they will be best to inform you of the skills which should be prioritized in technical and certificate programs.
Once you know the technical skill needs coming down the pike, your community college can develop or adapt necessary programs. Community colleges want their programs to be aligned with regional demand. Your efforts to facilitate a free-flowing conversation for them with local industry will help greatly in doing this.
This is also a good place to think about service sector workers who have been hardest hit by pandemic closures. With strong human skills such as communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, these workers are in a prime spot to combine their current skills with new technical skills. This combination of human and technical skills creates the versatile worker sought by many employers.
4 to 7 years: Higher Education
The pandemic is perhaps the disruption higher education needed to refocus its efforts on developing work-ready graduates. Economic and workforce developers should seize the opportunity to work with their local colleges and universities to reimagine how a college degree can better serve students and local employers. Over time, this will greatly build the talent pipeline in a region.
Skills-based curriculums that align program offerings to the skill needs of employers and the market will better prepare graduates for success. Economic and workforce development organizations can help make this skills-based connection between jobseekers, education, and industry. At Emsi, we call this skillifying your curriculum. Communities and their higher-ed partners will also need to be responsive to new trends which will likely emerge from educational offerings such as Google Career Certificates. Such programs could change employer taste when it comes to qualifications.
7 to 10 years: Preparing for a Long-Term Future
To cultivate a healthy supply of talent, you need to start early. The fruits of these labors will take time to reap but are the necessary foundation for a resilient workforce over the long term.
Introducing careers to students early will help them stay engaged and better understand the "why" of their schooling. By using local employers to showcase careers, communities can also plant an early seed that jobs and careers of interest can be found locally. The pandemic has only exacerbated the information gap that keeps students from taking advantage of career guidance and resource programs (fewer opportunities to learn about scholarships, grants, community college transfer programs, loans, work-studies, etc.). The unfortunate result is that students are less connected and could struggle to remain on an education path to a fulfilling career. Whether through information campaigns or facilitating connections, economic development organizations play a crucial role in filling this information gap.
Furthermore, while certain trends were accelerated by the pandemic, it also shined a brighter light on areas long known to be lacking investment. Inadequate broadband in urban neighborhoods and rural communities was the most apparent. But there are others depending on the community, such as expanded bus service to get students and workers where they need to be. What's important is that you remain cognizant of the many hurdles and barriers facing your talent, and push for community solutions. These investments will take time to come to fruition, but are a needed foundation for a long-term talent pipeline. And they often have the bonus of making your region a more attractive place to live for relocating talent.
Getting Started
As with any project, the hardest step is often the first. If you're having trouble getting started, remember that each of these phases and the entire approach to talent attraction and development boils down to three steps.
Assess your community's strengths and weaknesses
Identify the most pressing needs in your community
Use data to guide your strategy

Traditional In-person Summer School
Laurens County schools in Dublin, GA implemented an intensive, in-person summer reading camp. During the 2019 Summer School, Laurens County implemented Lindamood-Bell® instruction to address the specific needs of this student population. Data is available on 21 students who received an average of 60.7 hours of primarily Seeing Stars instruction to develop symbol imagery for reading. The instruction was delivered by Laurens County teachers who received professional development in the programs. Student gains were measured with a battery of reading assessments.
On average, Seeing Stars students achieved significant improvements in reading. Their pre to post-test results were statistically significant on nearly all measures. The results of this study illustrate that Lindamood-Bell instruction in the Seeing Stars program leads to improved reading, which is essential to achieving success with school curricula.
Number of Students: 21
Average Age: 9.5
Average Hours of Instruction: 60.7
Lindamood-Bell Programs Implemented: Seeing Stars®
Outcome Measures:
• Symbol Imagery Test
• Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-3rd (word attack)
• Wide Range Achievement Test-4th (reading and spelling)
• Gray Oral Reading Tests-4th (rate, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension)
Online Summer Camp
Many schools are delivering online instruction to struggling readers. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research on the impact of online small-group reading intervention, leaving educators without an evidence-based model. Results from an online summer reading camp demonstrate a promising model to replicate.
Over four weeks in the summer of 2020, Lindamood-Bell provided job-embedded PD to a district implementing small-group instruction using the Seeing Stars® program. The district targeted 100 students performing in the lowest quartile on the MAP assessment to receive the daily intensive intervention. The instruction was delivered by 35 Fort Smith Public Schools teachers who received professional development in the program authored by LindamoodBell's founders.
Watch this dynamic online small-group instruction in action.
A battery of nationally normed reading assessments measured student gains. Data is available on 14 students receiving an average of 37 hours of instruction. Students made substantial gains in symbol imagery, word attack, and word recognition, skills necessary for establishing independent readers. These gains correlate to nearly a year's worth of age and grade level growth.
Number of Students: 14
Average Age: 9.9
Average Hours of Instruction: 37.6
Programs Implemented: Seeing Stars
Outcome Measures:
• Symbol Imagery Test
• Woodcock-Johnson Word Attack
• Wide-Range Achievement Test – Reading
Reading and Spelling Programs
Symbol Imagery for Phonological and Orthographic Processing in Reading and Spelling
Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LiPS)
Phonemic Awareness for Reading, Spelling, and Speech
Comprehension Programs
Visualizing and Verbalizing (V/V)
Concept Imagery for Language Comprehension, Thinking, and Memory

I'm testing one beside the other QGIS 1.8 and Master, and it seems that in master the support of WMS-C servers is broken (e.g. tilecache).
Using the following server
and both "Ignore getMap..." and "Ignore FeatureInfo..." checked.
Seems a consequence of the raster resampling merge.

Hi Jurgen,
you have to try one of the other layers, one not in WGS84 CRS, for example carta_500000 (other layers may not show at certain scales as the server is configured to serve the maps only in a specified scale interval. But the layer carta_500000 is good to see the issue).

confirmed here using a different layer!

LLM in International Contracts & Arbitration
Full Time and Part Time Programs
The expansion of global trade has resulted in an increasingly high degree specialization in international contract practices. The jurisdictional complexity of such contracts has led to a rapid growth in the role of alternative dispute settlement mechanisms. Many international corporations now have separate divisions within their own legal departments tasked with the drafting, negotiation, monitoring and enforcement of their international contracts – and with the settlement of any disputes they may give rise to. Other companies work with international law firms specializing in this demanding area.
A successful career in international contract law requires a thorough familiarity with multiple legal regimes – including the differing cultures they reflect and the ways in which they interact. When disputes arise, mastery of the ever-growing thicket of international conventions and standards is essential.
The Fribourg Law LLM in Contracts & Arbitration has been specifically designed to prepare students to meet these challenges. Professors of international repute, recognized authorities in their fields will help you gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of international commercial contracts and equip you with the skills you will need to navigate the labyrinth of international dispute resolution mechanisms. In parallel to the coursework, experienced legal practitioners will work with you to develop your drafting, negotiation, pleading and presentation skills through practical exercises in graduate seminars and training clinics.
Who is eligible for the Fribourg Law LLM Program?
The LLM program in International Contracts & Arbitration was designed to meet the demands of experienced lawyers and recent law graduates of proven ability.
The program is also open to university graduates with degrees in disciplines other than law whose professional experience has prepared them for the study of international contracts and dispute resolution.
What will you learn?
The core curriculum of the Fribourg Law LLM in International Contracts & Arbitration offers students numerous options for putting together individualized study modules suited to their own specific needs and interests. Modules can include any combination of curriculum units chosen from a wide variety of offerings:
- a comparative introduction to contracts in civil law and common law jurisdictions;
- graduate level courses on International Arbitration and Private International Law;
- seminars on key international instruments, including the UNIDROIT Principles for International Commercial Contracts, the Vienna Convention for the International Sales of Goods, the Principles of European Contract Law and the INCOTERMS;
- intensive courses on specific contract types of particular importance in international commerce, including construction contracts, agency and distributorship agreements, joint venture and consortium agreements, consumer contracts, insurance contracts, professional sports contracts, mergers and acquisition agreements, secured transactions, trusts and wealth planning structures, etc.;
- specialized courses on law and business in the world's fastest growing economies – in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America;
- legal clinics and moot courts;
- business negotiation training, legal drafting and other skills-oriented courses and seminars.
Successful completion of each unit allows students to earn the number of ECTS credits corresponding to the investment of time and effort demanded. Units may require between 6 and 16 hours of classroom time, spread over intervals ranging from one day to a maximum of two weeks.

Students about us
Fatma Esra Güzeloglu (Turkey)"As an LLM student in International Contracts and Arbitration at Fribourg University, I had a priceless experience the program. Not only the courses are wide ranging and intriguing, but they are also taught by the best academics and practitioners in their field who are open to interaction and eager to teach. It should be noted that the program is highly practice oriented; with number of contract drafting assignments and moot court sessions, enabling students to apply theory into practice. Moreover, during the course of studies, there are plenty of internship opportunities within reputable international bodies or law firms. For all these reasons, I feel confident, well-equipped and ready to embark upon a successful professional career."
Andres Mejia (Colombia)
"I would like to highlight three advantages/benefits that as a student of the program in International Contracts and Arbitration I experienced. Firstly, I was trained by legal professionals, members of the most prestigious law firms in the world, with practical experience in multiple legal backgrounds and jurisdictions across the world. Secondly, I had the opportunity to expand my networking by meeting colleagues from different legal and cultural backgrounds (e.g. Russia, Indonesia, Iran, China, Turkey, South Africa, and many other nationalities). Finally, I received a steady support from the Law School staff in matters not only related to the academic program, but also in matters appertaining to the challenges that living in a foreign country entails"
Theodoros Bougioukos (Grece)"Submitting in Contracts and Arbitration LLM program, proved to be the key for my professional future and assisted me a lot at my work as a legal consultant in Zurich.
This program was my choice after careful search in order to boost up my legal studies and eventually it was more than that. The program is consisted by a unique structure of really interesting modules that provide a coherent and in depth knowledge of the international business interrelations in combination with contemporary legal challenges. The classes are held by Professors specialized and highly experienced in their field of profession, always willing to assist during the semesters and beyond them.

As a leader in credentialing for radiologic technologists, we feel it's important to give back to our community. At ARRT, we support the profession in many ways: by providing financial assistance to help people become R.T.s, by recognizing technologists who go the extra mile, and by supporting industry organizations that seek to advance the profession.
Support of the ASRT Foundation Campaign
ARRT's pledge of $250,000 to the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Foundation's 30th anniversary campaign helped the Foundation reach its $1 million fundraising milestone. The campaign will fund a range of scholarship, grant, and other special programs that provide financial assistance and support to educators, students, and clinical staff in our profession. Learn more about the ASRT Foundation.
Royce Osborn Minority Student Scholarship
ARRT believes that everyone deserves a chance at pursuing the goal of becoming a radiologic technologist. To help minority students ease the financial burden of an educational program, we created the Royce Osborn Minority Student Scholarship. It awards five $4,000 scholarships per year to minority students in entry-level educational programs (for Radiography, Sonography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Radiation Therapy, or Nuclear Medicine Technology). The scholarship is funded through an endowment that ARRT established; it also receives contributions from individual donors. Contact ASRT to learn more about applying.
Annual Grants
We've partnered with three professional societies to award 65 $500 grants per year to technologists. These grants help defray the cost of continuing education activities, postprimary application fees, professional courses, and educational products. Learn more:
- Advancing Your Profession: Education and Professional Growth Grants—in partnership with ASRT
- Grants—in partnership with the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
ARRT partners with industry organizations and professional societies throughout the country. We provide resources—such as informational materials, brochures, and giveaways—for local chapter meetings and conferences. Our Trustees, executive team, and staff also contribute their time by speaking at chapter and affiliate conferences and by leading seminars. Recently, we supported local chapters of:
- The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT)
- The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)
- The Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT)
In 2016, ARRT created I Am the Gold Standard, a recognition program for R.T.s. To be considered for the honor, nominees had to meet a range of criteria, such as making a positive difference in patient care, volunteering, leading improvement efforts in the workplace, and/or participating in meaningful research. Three winners receive airfare, hotel, and conference registration for a national society conference of their choice in the continental U.S.

Cat Meows and What It Means
Hunger, worry, and even old age are all reasons for cats to meow. Owners of pets must be aware of and understand their animals' noises. Understanding why cat's meow and how much is too much can assist cat owners in becoming more conscious of their feline friend's communication and what it represents. Cats meow to communicate with humans, but adult cats don't meow at each other; they only meow at humans The Cat Behavior Answer Book includes advice on how to get your cat to quit meowing.
Why Do Meow So Loudly?
Cats use various vocalizations to communicate, including meowing, purring, chirping, hissing, and yowling (a sound that is similar to a meow but is longer and more vocal). Louder, more forceful, and more frequent meows are associated with certain cat breeds. Some varieties, such as Siamese cats, are known to meow loudly by nature, but any cat can do so for various reasons. Your cat's excessive meowing could be a sign that they aren't feeling well. Many cats learn to meow to indicate that they want to be fed or go outside. Cats meow when they're hungry, thirsty, or need to be noticed. If your cat starts meowing excessively, get him checked out by a veterinarian right away. When cats are in discomfort, have neurological abnormalities, or have sensory deficiencies, they may meow. Check for any indicators that your cat might be sick if they suddenly start meowing excessively. Meows might also sound different depending on the circumstances of their existence. For example, stress can cause a cat to become noisier when it is stressed or hungry.
Train your Cat to Meow Less
Instead of responding every time your cat meows, pay attention to them when they go quiet. Of course, the idea is always to reward her with cookies before she begins to meow.
Cats may cry at night because they're bored or haven't had enough to eat throughout the day. The purr is a quiet, throaty rumble emitted by your cat when they are in a good mood. Crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) and nocturnal cats exist (active during the night). With a little time and diligence, you can reset your cat's body clock. You can also train her to follow you around the house, reward her for quiet sit behavior, or teach her to sit quietly and stay in one area away from you.
What Does It Mean When a Cat Meows Loudly at Night?
Your cat will be boisterous when she wants to procreate if she isn't spayed or neutered. Also, cats, like people, can age and become forgetful or confused.
Meowing might indicate that a cat is hungry, thirsty, or in discomfort. Excessive vocalization can also be caused by an overactive thyroid gland or kidney illness in cats. Cats, contrary to popular belief, do not enjoy being left alone.
Cats don't want to feel alone. So cats purr a lot during the day, but their purring becomes louder and can seem harsh at night.

china calcined carburant
china calcined carburant
What are the uses of china calcined carburant?
(1) china calcined carburant used in electric arc steelmaking furnace is mainly used for electric furnace steelmaking. Electric furnace steelmaking uses a china calcined carburant to introduce current into the furnace. The powerful current generates arc discharge through gas at the lower end of the electrode, and uses the heat generated by the arc to smelt. According to the capacity of the electric furnace, different diameters of china calcined carburant are equipped. In order to make the electrodes continue to be used, the electrodes are connected by the electrode screw joints. China calcined carburant for steelmaking accounts for about 70-80% of the total amount of china calcined carburant.
(2) For submerged electric furnace china calcined carburant Submerged electric furnace is mainly used to produce ferroalloy, pure silicon, yellow phosphorus, matte and calcium carbide, etc. Its characteristic is that the lower part of the conductive electrode is buried in the charge, so the static elimination plate and charge In addition to the heat generated by the arc between the charge, heat is also generated by the resistance of the charge when the current passes through the charge. Each ton of silicon needs to consume about China calcined carburant, and each ton of yellow phosphorus needs to consume about 40kg of china calcined carburant.
(3) Graphitization furnaces used in resistance furnaces for producing graphite products, melting furnaces for melting glass, and electric furnaces for producing silicon carbide are all resistance furnaces. The materials in the furnace are both heating resistors and heated objects. Usually, the conductive china calcined carburant is inserted into the furnace head wall at the end of the hearth, so the conductive electrode is not consumed continuously.
In addition, a large number of china calcined carburant blanks are also used to process various crucibles, graphite boats, hot die casting molds and vacuum electric furnace heating elements and other special-shaped products. For example, in the quartz glass industry, 10 tons of china calcined carburant blanks are required for every production of lt electric fusion tubes, and electrode blanks are consumed for every production of lt quartz bricks.

Forget a personal trainer or ultra hands-on yoga teacher — now, there's workout garb to help correct your form. Behold, the Nadi legging, "smart fitness and lifestyle tights" intended to fix your form during yoga (and beyond).
The pair you didn't know your sweat-centric wardrobe was missing was created by Sydney-based wearable tech company Wearable Experiments (We:eX), which has been tinkering with tech-addled apparel designs for the past three years. "I am never 100% sure if and when I am doing my yoga poses correctly; I wanted these pants to be able to help with this problem," We:eX cofounder and CEO Billie Whitehouse told Refinery29.
The sleek white-and-black, mesh-accented leggings take data from six points on the body, and haptic vibrations are emitted whenever the wearer's alignment is askew. "As the technology gets smaller and more sophisticated, we've been experimenting with how it can go beyond quantified devices and into clothing that can be empathetic towards the wearer," Whitehouse says of how We:eX came up with the Nadi.
The Nadi leggings are also aimed at people who aren't exactly down with downward dog: They're also being billed as a "lifestyle product," to be worn during everyday activities to, say, remind you to uncross your legs during a long workday, Whitehouse explains.
And, unlike some fashion-tech experiments out there, these leggings manage the sought-after combination of smarts and style. "We believe technology should empower the human experience, not overtake it," says We:eX cofounder Ben Moir. "With Nadi, the sleek design allows technology to seamlessly integrate with the tights, allowing the beauty and design to take center stage."
You'll have to wait until later in the year to get your legs in a pair, though; the exact launch date and price point aren't yet released. The leggings are currently only Android-compatible, but once an iOS app is finalized sometime in 2016, they'll become available. They'll be sold online, directly from We:eX, and also at select retailers.
But in the meantime, there's already a pair of data-measuring, reality-check-inducing workout pants on the market: $149 capris by Athos, which monitor your body's movements via sensors (For these, you also have to buy a $199 "Athos Core" device, which uses Bluetooth to communicate with your smart phone.). Then, notifications in a corresponding app reveal which muscles you're really using for each squat or push-up — and which you're actually not, despite feeling the burn. The brand also makes shorts and a top equipped with the same technology.
So, there's certainly a heftier price tag to be expected with intuitive, workout-improving gear (though designer athleisure brands' leggings, whether at chains like Lululemon or Sweaty Betty, are already in the $200-plus stratosphere). But it's also a question of whether you want to have your form chastized — err, improved — by a pair of smart leggings. But if you do need some help, technologically tricked-out leggings could be a cheaper alternative to a personal trainer.

From the private to the public phase of the equity crowdfunding offer, Equitise helps innovative startups to prepare for the raise and attract investors.
In the past decades, the process of targeting the right investors and the right business partners was a long and time-consuming challenge for startups. The development of the web has simplified and shortened this step, especially with the growth of web-based crowdfunding platforms.
Our equity crowdfunding platform Equitise was born in this lively and dynamic context. Our goal is to help the early-stage businesses that onboard on our platform throughout the whole equity crowdfunding campaign, guiding them through the different stages of the campaign.
Let's now have a look at the different phases of the equity crowdfunding offer:
The Campaign Pre-Launch
This phase usually lasts at least a few weeks before the launch. During this time, the company gets ready for the crowdfund, undertaking activities such as creating the Information Memorandum (IM), becoming a publicly unlisted company and starting to shoot the deal room video.
Once all the above activities are underway, Equitise can put up a coming soon tile on our website, which will start to capture registrations of interest, build a crowd around the offer. This is vital as those who register interest start to create the momentum that will make the offer take off once launched.
The Private Deal Room
The private Deal Room, or private offer, which is normally open for approximately a week, is important as it provides further validation and traction for the company. At this stage, specific investors are targeted with the offer. In addition to some of our contacts, these investors are often friends, family and previous investors of the business.
As these investors are either connected to the business or have been chosen specifically, this phase helps to launch the offer with some momentum which is vital before the public launch.
From a marketing perspective, the offer is marketed usually by email driving as much traffic as possible towards the offer deal room. In this time, we continue to collect registrations of interest from those who have not been invited to the private deal room phase.
The Public Launch
The second stage is the public launch, where everyone, if it's a retail offer, can access the offer on the platform and invest in it. At this point, we market the offer more broadly with the aim to provide investments from a larger network of investors. We address our network, the companies' networks, their suppliers and any other strategic groups that are considering investing.
We also cast the net wider, to those who perhaps haven't heard of the company or even equity crowdfunding. This brand awareness will help not only with the capital raise but with attracting new customers. The channels we use include press, social media, email, SEM and monthly events.
By implementing a variety of marketing activities, we want to ensure the maximum coverage of the crowdfund.

A Brief History
On November 3, 1783, highwayman John Austin became the last person to be publicly hanged at London's Tyburn gallows.
Digging Deeper
For centuries Tyburn, formerly a village, but now within the city of London, had the infamous distinction of being the principal place of execution in England's capital for criminals, traitors, and even religious martyrs. Executions and sometimes public torture occurred in Tyburn from at least 1196 until 1783. The executed included noblemen and commoners alike of both sexes. Even the dead could be "executed" there, as was the case of notorious rebel Oliver Cromwell whose corpse was disinterred so as to be publicly mutilated as a caution to would be traitors to the monarchy.
Convicted robber John Austin would be the last man hanged at the "Tyburn Tree" before authorities disassembled these dreaded gallows. Before the execution, Austin uttered the following last words: "Good people, I request your prayers for the salvation of my departing soul. Let my example teach you to shun the bad ways I have followed. Keep good company, and mind the word of God. Lord have mercy on me. Jesus look down with pity on me. Christ have mercy on my poor soul!"
Unfortunately for him, the execution did not go smoothly. Instead of snapping his neck as intended, his noose slipped in such a way that he instead wound up choking to death. Or course, unlike certain other historical figures, given that he had not just robbed someone, but attacked his victim, cutting and wounding him, it is hard to feel too much sympathy for Austin.
Question for students (and subscribers): Is hanging a justifiable form of punishment? If so, should hangings be done in public view? Please let us know in the comments section below this article.

- RTI reveals large-scale evasion of tax and money-laundering may be taking place through agricultural income route.
- Between 2010-2011, area under cultivation, agricultural production remains almost constant, but agricultural income exceeds GDP by nearly 20 times
- Hardly 2% of the income tax assessees declare agricultural income, yet it runs into thousands of trillions of rupees
- Spike in agricultural income recorded during the same period when government-initiated enquiries regarding black money in foreign accounts
It is difficult to comprehend that agricultural income can be made a vehicle for large-scale evasion of tax and money laundering, not to the tune of thousands or millions or even billions, but in thousands of trillions of rupees. This fact emerged from a reply to an RTI application seeking information regarding declaration of agricultural income by income tax assesses. The said information made available by the Directorate of Income Tax (Systems) via a letter dated 27 May 2015 for the last ten financial years, 2003-04 to 2012-13.
The information was mind boggling. The number of assessees disclosing agricultural income has increased exponentially and the disclosed agricultural income has increased at a still higher rate.
Land Constant, Growth Constant, But Income Up By Trillions
The land under cultivation has remained constant over the years at around 14 crore hectares. The growth in agriculture has been hovering around 3-4 percent, never exceeding 5 percent. Agricultural production too has been almost constant around 14-15 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country. There has not been any agricultural revolution to justify exponential growth in agricultural income. Poor growth in agriculture is further buttressed by growing indebtedness among farmers with thousands of them committing suicide every year.
More than 90 percent of agricultural land is cultivated by marginal farmers who do not file any income tax return, as agriculture income is exempt from taxation. Hardly 2 percent of income tax assessees declare agricultural income.
But this miniscule percentage of so-called farmers have declared agricultural income worth thousands of trillions.
Agriculture income disclosed for financial years 2010-11 and 2011-12 exceed the total GDP of the country by nearly 20 times and 6 times respectively.
The average income of these so called farmers is around Rs 300 crore. In the next year it averages to around Rs 70 crore per farmer. How one wishes this was the state of our agriculture!
Black Money Laundered Through Agricultural Income
This gives rise to a bona fide suspicion that illegal gains (and clearly not agricultural income) from undisclosed sources are being laundered through the route of agricultural income and unscrupulous people are laundering their ill-gotten black money without paying taxes. If this income is subjected to tax, the taxes for the year 2010-11 would be around Rs 600 lakh crore , i.e. over 6 times the GDP of the country that year.
Yet another significant factor which needs to be flagged here. Around the same time, the government received information regarding black money of several Indians that was parked in foreign accounts and enquiries were initiated. After much delay, when the said bank accounts were finally reached, it was found that the money had mostly been withdrawn. It appears to be too much of a coincidence that there is tremendous spike in the declaration of agricultural income during the same period.
Issue Rocks Parliament, Govt Promises Probe
The information has been sent to the relevant authority for thorough investigation/enquiry in the matter. Further information relating to top hundred assessees of income tax who were disclosing such high income has been sought under the RTI Act. This was denied on the ground that the applicant has not brought on record any public interest warranting disclosure of information held by the department in fiduciary relationship.
In view of the denial an appeal was filed emphasizing that the attempt to evade taxes, and money-laundering using agricultural income was subterfuge, and hence clearly being in public interest.
When no reply to the earlier letters as also to the appeal was received, a public interest litigation was filed before the Hon'ble Patna High Court. This petition has requested for instruction to the concerned authorities for proper investigation, assessment and collection of taxes. The Hon'ble Court has called for a reply from the government.
Of late, this issue has rocked Parliament, and the government has promised to investigate into cases where more than Rs 1 crore agricultural income has been declared.
The whole issue however clearly points to systemic failure as agricultural incomes declared are being accepted without any questioning, however high the quantum.
(The author is a retired IRS official who filed the RTI application to the Income Tax Department. He has now moved the Patna High Court seeking further investigations into the matter, raising suspicion that income from undisclosed sources is being shown as agricultural income to evade taxes.)

Textiles: the Photography of Chris Payne

"The incredible photos of Chris Payne tell the story of working textile factories and mills in a blaze of color and precision patterns. His ongoing photographic project, TEXTILES, captures the essence of this factories"
Here's the link to the article: http://www.quiltviews.com/textiles-the-photographic-art-of-christopher-payne
And here's the link to Chris Payne's website: http://www.chrispaynephoto.com/textiles1/
Chris writes: "In this era of service jobs and office work, most of us have never been inside a factory. Several decades of overseas competition, unequal trade policies, and a flood of cheap imports have decimated American factories. Since 1990, job losses in apparel and textiles have been greater than those in any other type of manufacturing, and today we have little idea where, or how, the shirt on our back is made."
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Keep quilting!

Bravely going: City's baseball team to walk away from Atlanta in 2017
The city of Atlanta just received a swooft kick to the coin purse.
The Atlanta Braves, the team named after the city it is in, will move to Cobb County in 2017.
No one saw that coming, and yet it shouldn't come as a shock. The Braves have been hinting they'd like to move out of Atlanta since Reagan was president.
I'd like to confess that I'm not a baseball fan. The games take forever. I don't like being outside when it's hot. I am, however, a faithful capitalist. I recognize the economic impact of having a professional baseball team close to home.
I also can appreciate the troubling symbolism of moving a baseball team out of a majority-black city to a majority-white county.
Creative Loafing reports that everyone is asking the same question: why? The team gave an answer and, of course, no one buys it. I'm in the "not buying it" camp.
We really don't need any deep philosophical, soul-searching explanations. It's about money. Cobb County is reportedly offering some $450 million in incentives to get the Braves to move there. You don't need an economist to figure it out.
Odds are, we'll be having this discussion all over again once the tax money runs out and the Braves go shopping for a better deal.
A couple of things stand out to me about this story. While some of the details on the move are lacking, there is an abundance of irony.
– For more analysis on the Braves moving out of Atlanta, let's go to the newspaper that already moved out of Atlanta. The Atlanta Journal Constitution's scrutiny of the Braves moving to the suburbs is pure comedic gold, considering the AJC did the exact same thing in 2010. The AJC's owner, Cox Enterprises, even got $1.4 million in tax breaks from Sandy Springs to expand their campus. (To be fair, this came way later.) Why brand yourself with Atlanta's name if you don't even want to do business there?
– The city's Falcons deal looks like less of a deal for taxpayers. Yeah, I know this is all supposed to be paid for with hotel-motel money, but that's a misleading claim. That's like narcotics officers saying the drug dealer's Cadillac they seized isn't something that should concern taxpayers. If the government owns it, collects it or drives it to church on Sunday, it belongs to the taxpayers. The City of Atlanta issued $200 million in bonds to pay for the new Falcons stadium. Anyone want to guess what happens if that hotel motel tax money doesn't match projections because the Atlanta Braves games will be in Cobb County?
– Was the move to Cobb backed by a study? As we all know, studies are iron-clad prophecies delivered to us by the Ghost of Christmas Future. Before Atlanta delved into its stadium deal, the project's supporters produced a study touting the economic benefits of spending $1 billion in a city's downtown. That was a stretch for policy wonks, but they did the math and concluded it made sense. We have no such study from Cobb. None. A study not blessed by the time lords becomes a reverse prophecy by default, which means that Cobb is in grave danger.
– Your transit sucks. Let's move to Cobb County and build the stadium at the intersection of I-285 and I-75. You can't possibly tell me with a straight face that driving on I-285 is somehow more convenient than taking a dinky shuttle from MARTA to the stadium. Hell, that shuttle is one of the few things MARTA succeeds at with any kind of consistency. Getting to, from and through Turner Field is pretty easy if you're not driving. There won't be any MARTA access to the new stadium, because Cobb County fears MARTA the way a televangelist fears "60 Minutes." MARTA was the great boogey-man used to persuade about 70 percent of Cobb County residents to vote against a sales tax that would – ironically – pay for road improvements.
I don't see how this will make it any easier for people to get to the baseball games if they don't already live around Cobb County. I suspect it's probably not something people in Cobb are too worried about.

Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:7-10
One-hundred-thousand dollars is a lot of money.
Still, $100,000 was the amount of the warrant set for Eligah Christian. And what had Christian done to generate such a sum for his arrest? Well, he was wanted on charges for scheming to defraud, 15 counts of theft, and 21 counts of issuing bad checks.
Understandably, police wanted to catch Christian, and he didn't want to get caught.
To make a long story short, an Alaskan State Trooper spotted Christian around the town of Wasilla. The officer turned on his lights and siren and began to pursue him. It wasn't difficult to keep him in sight, and it certainly wasn't considered a high-speed chase.
I say that because Christian tried to make his getaway in a motor home.
That's right. Christian was behind the wheel of a big, slow-accelerating, hard-to-wend-through-traffic-and-turns motorhome. It had to be embarrassing. In short order the highway patrol put down spike strips to blow out the motorhome's tires. Christian tried to maneuver around the spikes and brought the chase to an abrupt end when he plowed into a couple of highway patrol squad cars.
I have to tell you, when I read Christian's story and pictured him hunkered down behind the wheel of that motorhome, I laughed. I am laughing still.
It is preposterous to think you can escape the police in a motorhome.
And it is equally preposterous to think we can escape the Lord's judgment.
As the Psalmist says, "Where can I go to get away from the Lord's Spirit, and where can I flee to escape His presence?" In other verses the songster lists some of the places he might try. At the end he is forced to conclude wherever He goes the Lord is already there.
Yes, the Lord is there and for our manifold sins He is justly displeased.
Thankfully, it is not necessary for us to get away from the Lord; it is unnecessary for us to try to flee from Him. That is because we no longer are wanted criminals. Indeed, the number of transgressions for which we have to pay is now numbered at zero.
Because Jesus has carried our sins, resisted every temptation, and defeated death, all who believe on Him are forgiven and saved.
No longer should they run away from the Lord. On the contrary, because of His grace, they should eagerly run to Him in thanksgiving and appreciation.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, because of Jesus may I always run toward You and never away from You. This I ask in the Name of the Savior who has changed my circumstance and eternal status. Amen.
In Christ I remain His servant and yours,

Named after the Mediterranean wind that can change from calm to gale in an instant, the Levante is a master of powerful forces that will drive you far and wide. The Levante is a midsize SUV recently launched by Maserati to extend the lineup of the Italian brand. It gets the twin-turbo V6, eight-speed gearbox and all-wheel drivetrain from the Ghibli S Q4. The Levante is available in base and S versions, the latter serving up 424 horsepower. In addition to the Maserati Stability Program, the Levante offers Sport and Off-Road modes that help optimize engine settings according to the situation at hand.
The unmistakable Levante design has reached new levels of sportiness in this top of the line Trofeo. The elegant restyling was mainly focused on the lower front fascia and the rear bumper and is underlined by the 22-inch forged aluminium "Orione" wheels – the largest ever fitted on a Maserati – available in both polished and matte finishes.
The side air intakes in the lower fascia feature a new, more aggressive design, defined by two aerodynamic wings that give a sense of further stability, visually "pushing" the weight of the car's nose towards the massive front wheels. And to help improve the airflow distribution, Trofeo is outfitted with carbon fibre side bezel blades and a carbon fibre splitter.
The rear end also looks wider and more muscular with a sharper carbon fibre horizontal element and body-color lower extractor that embrace the oval quad exhaust tips.
In front, the Levante has Matrix LED headlights, a front grille with double vertical bars in a piano black finish and lower honeycomb mesh fascia, as well as body color door handles, oval exhaust tips in a dark finish and performance painted brake calipers in red, blue, black, silver or yellow.
Maserati engineers developed the mighty 3.8-litre Twin Turbo V8 engine to accommodate the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, providing it with a new crankcase design, specific crankshaft assembly, new oil pump and auxiliary belt and a different wiring layout.
New turbochargers feature increased flow, while redesigned cylinder heads with specific camshafts and valves, different pistons and new connecting rods allow the ability to reach the maximum power targets in combination with specific engine calibration mapping.

The Department of Education (DepEd) last week assured local government units that it could source enough funds for its ambitious blended learning program with barely a month left before the opening of classes.
An appeal from Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla triggered such an assurance from DepEd, which until now, has yet to release a full and detailed budget on blended learning.
It remains to be known how much the blended learning program will actually cost the Duterte administration, if it will shoulder any expense at all, given that many local government units appear to be filling in for the role of DepEd.
By now, the whole country already knows of the DepEd's sloppy plan on blended learning—use printed modules, online instruction, and radio and television—but the question on how much such initiatives would entail remains to be unanswered.
READ: Limitadong face-to-face na klase pinag-aaralan sa mga lugar na MGCQ
An assurance that it could source enough funds is simply not enough. In fact, the DepEd should have long released the needed budget for the program so that the public can see if it really is feasible.
The public needs to know how much funds are we talking about. Where will such funds specifically be used? How much is the budget per region? Per school? Per student?
So many questions remain unanswered by DepEd but the bottom line is, the public needs to know.
The DepEd should release a full and detailed budget plan for blended learning so that the nation can brace itself for the program before classes start on Aug. 24.
The DepEd should take this as a challenge to prove the critics wrong: show us that the government is actually prepared for blended learning.
And before going on a media caravan again on how prepared the DepEd is for blended learning, answer this question first: where's the budget for blended learning?

The Palo Alto school district could reopen schools for students in grades seven through 12 as early as next month, Superintendent Don Austin said yesterday (Feb. 5).
These students have been participating in distance learning on home computers since March.
The re-opening will depend on whether the number of new Covid cases remains low, Austin said.
In October, the district partially opened pre-kindergarten through 5th grade classes to some 2,100 pupils. Some weeks, kids go to school three days a week. Other weeks, two days. On the days they're not in the classroom, they're participating online.
Palo Alto is one of only two public school systems in Santa Clara County to provide any in-person learning. The other is Los Altos elementary. Now other districts are looking to follow Palo Alto's lead in reopening.
The county is currently in the purple tier of Covid regulations, the most restrictive level in the system set up by Gov. Gavin Newsom and enforced by the county Department of Health.
If the county moved into the red tier, the second-most restrictive level, that will open the door to in-person instruction in more grades.
"Our progress toward moving to the red tier went much faster than anyone expected," Austin said. "So we think there will be a path there early enough that it would make sense to return."
He said if the county maintains a transmission rate of about 25 cases of Covid per 100,000 people, then "a move and a shift to the red tier looks imminent."
Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci is in favor of opening the schools. In an interview with ABC News on Nov. 29, Fauci said the nation should "close the bars and keep the schools open."
"The default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school, or to get them back to school," Fauci said.
In Palo Alto, there hasn't been any contact-traced student-to-adult, adult-to- student or student-to-student cases of Covid since the elementary schools reopened, not including possible instances of a sibling giving it to another sibling, Austin said in late January. He said there have been very few cases of adults giving it to other adults in the school system.
"Personally I believe students should be in school and we've proven that we can do it safely," Austin said.

Here's an email about Mashgiach Robert Frank
Dear Luke,
I have another story for you. On Friday night when Robert Frank and his wife went to synagogue — services are held in a cafeteria on the Albert Einstein School of Medicine at Yeshiva University — as they walked in to the services, they were stopped by the security guard. He told us he had orders not to let them enter. The vice-president of the synagogue was walking in to the services and saw what was happening and intervened. The Franks were allowed to enter the synagogue, but a few minutes later, the same guard came up to Robert and insisted that they leave. The president of the synagogue saw what was happening and intervened. He was told by the guard that he had orders to throw them out. The synagogue president asked the guard to call his supervisor. The guard called his supervisor. When the supervisor came over, he told the president of the synagogue the same story. That he had orders not to allow the Franks to pray in the building. The synagogue president told the supervisor that no one informed him or any synagogue officer or the rabbi of the Franks not being allowed to pray.
So the synagogue president made an arrangement with the security supervisor that the Franks could attend the services for the remainder of the Sabbath until the synagogue president could contact someone in authority to see what is going on.
This is retaliation for Robert Frank going to the media with the kosher fraud story.

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The tall and virile Johnny Mack Brown portrays the short and dyspeptic outlaw William Bonney, a.k.a. Billy the Kid. Wallace Beery is more effectively cast as Pat Garrett, the sheriff who's sworn to bring in Billy dead or alive despite his grudging friendship for the young killer. Hardly the "homicidal moron" described by western historians, the movie's Billy has a certain amount of charm, though he's shown to be a cold-blooded killer when the opportunity arises. The film's ending was shot twice: One ending retained fidelity to the facts by having Garrett kill Billy, while the other denouement allowed Billy to ride into the sunset, as Garrett beatifically looked on. Over the protests of western purists, the second ending was used in the American release version, though the more tragic climax was seen by European audiences. Billy the Kid was originally released in a 70mm widescreen process called Realife; to avoid confusion with MGM's 1941 Billy the Kid, the earlier film has been retitled The Highwayman Rides for television.

This is a quick video I shot while out for a run prepping for the Country Music Marathon.
[tentblogger-youtube el8Vb_sr4mk]
What's a nail on the side of the road?
My Dad taught me – "it's a flat tire."
The lesson is: you can't ignore problems, hoping they will go away.
For leaders, this is true particularly in the areas of relationships and communication.
If you don't deal with issues, you end up with a flat tire.
I hope that's helpful to you!
The Lord be with you!
