Operation Shiress - Chapter 7:
Luin and Istate were sent back to Samblar on compassionate leave. When the other members of ECHO heard of Shiress's death, they arranged a private memorial service in her honour.
An empty casket was placed in the temple, and those attending the funeral stood in a circle around it. Over the coffin was draped a cloth with an image of Kyara's face embroidered on it. Traya and Luin sat at the head, on either side of the High Priest and Priestess that presided over the service. Incense burned in censors marking the four points of the compass, and the coffin faced East.
This was because, in ancient times, the belief was that the soul travelled to the East, to be resurrected with the dawn of a new day, once it had finished its time of rest and healing, that occurred after the body had died. After the soul had been revived, it then had a choice: To either take on a new physical form, or to move on to a higher plane of existence. In this belief, that was shared by both Elf and Llianar alike, there was no 'Heaven and Hell' scenario. Death was not the end, but the beginning of a new phase in the individual's spiritual development.
During the service, Traya stood up shakily to deliver her eulogy. She had written it down, and did her best to recite it. This she did, but it took some time as she often broke down, and had to be encouraged and comforted by those around her. This is what she had written:
"Goodbye sweet one.
We commend you to our beloved Goddess
Whose nature you -
Along with the rest of our kind -
Have been blessed to reflect.
May your heart find the peace
And acceptance at our Goddess's bosom
That you fought to gain for those you leave behind.
Until we meet again,
Love as always -
Your partners:
Traya and Luin."
Kyara's kist was taken to the graveyard, and placed in the ground. The grave was left open, and the rest of the mourners left quietly, leaving Traya alone. She stripped off, and sat on the capstone that had the last stanza of her dedication engraved upon it. She began to fondle with herself until her dick eventually responded. Slowly, amidst her tears and weeping, she jerked herself off. As she reached climax, she knelt with her one hand supporting her, and her legs on either side of the gravestone. She continued to pleasure herself until her offering spurted out into the grave. As she came, she said her last farewell to her first love.
Slowly she dressed herself again. Soon after she had left, the grave was covered up.
She only just made it home when she broke down. She collapsed in the hallway, and sobbed uncontrollably until Luin came downstairs and picked her up. As gently as she could, the she-man took her up the stairs, and lay her down on the bed. She lay next to her. Putting her arms around her frail partner, she did her best to console her. Eventually it seemed to be working, and Traya began to calm down once more. Both of them stood up, embraced one another, and kissed. What at first was motivated by a need for solace, became a desire for fulfilment, and soon they were standing next to the bed naked.
Traya's hand went down and began coaxing Luin's dick until it became erect. She loved the feeling of that huge organ as it hardened and throbbed in her hands. Soon - if only but for a brief moment - her grief was forgotten as she saw Luin's eyes close and her face relax. Luin lay on the bed, and motioned for Traya to sit next to her.
Holding her cock in one hand, she inserted what resembled a large q-tip, but with a soft latex head instead of cotton wool, into the opening of her urethra. Slowly she pushed it further into her cock, stretching the small tube as it slid down. Soon her cock responded by producing a lubricant to ease the item's passage. As her urethra widened, Luin lay back and replaced the rod with her index finger. Traya's eyes were fixed on the spectacle as she felt her own member jerk with excitement.
As Luin became more and more aroused, she tried to maintain eye-contact with her lover. The expression on her face made Traya quiver with anticipation. Luin took another rod, thicker than the first with a rounded tip, and inserted it as far as it could go. As she pushed it into her, her cock began to throb even more, pushing it back out. In time to this rhythm, Luin began to jerk herself off. The inside of this rod was hollow, with a hole at its tip. Luin's eyes closed, and her body convulsed as a jet of milky white gism shot out of the hole.
Carefully she removed the rod. She then told Traya to kneel on the bed. They knelt together, facing each other. The she-man took her lover's excited cock in her hand, and carefully guided it into the distended opening of her urethra. She then thrust her hips back and forth so that Traya's member drove in and out of her. Soon the she-femme felt that her climax was imminent, and she tried to withdraw, but Luin clasped her hands around her waist, and held her there. Before she could respond, her cock released its load into her partner's swollen member. Luin let go of her as her own orgasm overtook her, and she came with such strength that she forced Traya's cock out of her, a stream of semen spilling out onto the bedding below.
Traya collapsed onto the bed, and Luin buried her head into her lap, as a small wet rivulet trickled down her leg. The she-femme stroked her lover's short-cropped hair as she said: "As long as we are together, I will be able to cope with Kyara's loss much more easily than of I was on my own."
Luin stroked her lover's thigh, and whispered assuringly: "You will never be alone, dear heart. I'll always be here for you." She turned, and kissed Traya's dick as an attempt to emphasise her point.
Before they fell asleep, Traya informed: "I want to join ECHO as an agent. I want to stop these bastards from torturing anyone else like they did Kyara. Above all, I would like to retrieve her body so that we can give her a proper burial."
Sleepily, Luin cautioned: "Be careful, my sweet. The desire for retribution is not always wrong, but it does have a habit of clouding your judgement."
Even though Traya's involvement with ECHO was on a purely technical level, she too had attended Base One, the basic training common to all members. After another three weeks revision, she was ready to go into the field as an operative. She and Luin were put together as a team, and together with Agents Jade and Amber, they were sent to finish the task that had cost Kyara her life.
Traya adopted the pseudonym 'Deyash', meaning 'Viper'. She was given this name because she was found to have very quick reactions, especially when it came to unarmed combat. It was Jade who first gave her the nickname, and it seemed to stick from then on. She also had the innate ability to improvise and think on her feet.
The other two agents were also lovers. Jade herself had been held captive by Gorrash's followers, and had been rescued by her partner. Like Kyara, Amber was not a field operative initially, but her success in saving her lover from almost certain death had secured her a place among the group of agents. Jade also had some inside information about the Slaver. It was for this reason that she and her comrade were chosen to assist in this particular mission.
Jade had a contact within the Slaver's inner circle. Her name was Elitha, and she was Jarvis Erlang's Personal Assistant. It was also believed that she was one of his many mistresses. Jade was also privy to a secret that very few were aware of, including her boss. The secret was that, like Erlang, she had a soft spot for llianari - the bigger the better.
"When that scum captured me the last time, she came to my cell with a plate of food." Jade explained, "I had been given nothing but bread and water before then, so when she offered it to me, I could not resist. In return, she insisted that I have sex with her. I was only too glad to oblige. Not only did I get some decent chow, but I also had gained a handle amongst the Slaver's people. If she's still there, it's possible I could use her to our advantage."
"She won't want her boss to discover her secret, that's for sure." Exclaimed Luin.
"Yep." Agreed Jade, "That's the advantage. Our last communique with the local Resistance was that the Slaver had moved his operations elsewhere since Martin Caldor and his forces had entered the city. His present whereabouts is unknown, but his secretary will know for sure, especially because I suspect than she does more than assist him."
The following morning, at the Slaver's official head office, a tall slender figure entered the opulent hallway. She made enquiries at the front desk, and the attendant asked who she wished to see. When she told him, he enquired: "And who shall I say wishes to see her?"
"Tell Elitha that Tara is here. She knows who I am, we go back a long way." The woman replied.
The receptionist did as she requested, and then responded: "She's waiting for you. You can go in."
She thanked him, and made her way to the second floor from the top of the twenty storey building. There she headed for the large office at the end of the long corridor. The door was half open, so she knocked lightly before entering the room. Behind the desk sat a woman in her late thirties, with shoulder-length brown hair. She wore a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles. She smiled, and stood up, a look of disbelief on her face.
"It's really you!" She exclaimed, "I heard that you were dead. How did you escape?"
"That's a long story." Jade replied, "Perhaps for another time. By the Goddess, I'd forgotten just how damned gorgeous you are. Come closer - let me look at you."
The woman blushed as she drew nearer. Jade put her arms around her. Elitha's eyes shone as she brushed the llianar's hair from her face, and looked into those dark brown eyes. A tear trickled down her face as if she had been reunited with a long-lost lover, despite the fact that they had only been intimate once, and that in a cell.
"Excuse me." She whispered, and closed the door, putting a 'Do Not Disturb' sign outside. She stood in front of Jade, and slowly undressed. A smile played on the llianar's lips as that curvaceous body was uncovered before her. Soon she could no longer hide her appreciation as a bulge began to appear beneath her skirt. She took the now naked woman in her arms, and her hands trailed down onto her shapely butt.
Elitha pushed her partner away, and started unbuttoning her blouse. Once it had been removed, her hand stroked the llianar's petite breasts until her nipples stood proudly atop them. They embraced once more, and the she-male removed her skirt. The woman sighed as she felt that rigid organ against her. She wrapped her fingers around it, and began to slide up and down its length. Gently, Jade pushed her away, and told her to wait a little while.
They moved over to the desk, still in each other's arms. The woman bent over, supporting her weight with her elbows. Jade stroked the back of Elitha's thighs, first with her fingers, and then with her cock's velvet tip. Those slender legs parted, and the llianar brushed herself against the moist lips that were revealed between her thighs. They seemed to urge her into the secret world behind them. Jade could not resist much longer, and she pushed herself in.
Elitha moved back and forth in time to Jade's thrusts. Soon she was groaning in delight as she felt that wondrous organ deep inside her. No male could fill her like this! Her knees began to give way under her, and it was all she could do to keep from collapsing onto the carpeted floor. Her movements became more frantic as she felt her orgasm sweep over her. Jade's cock was buried deeper into her partner's quim, and this seemed to heighten her own pleasure. She tried to withdraw, but the woman's inner muscles held her fast.
"Honey." She cried out urgently, "I'm going to cum!"
As if deaf, the woman continued her rocking as Jade kept still, trying to avoid the unavoidable. But she could not stop the flood of semen from flowing out of her into Elitha's still writhing body. She finally withdrew, watching the woman's quim as it continued to convulse until the last wave of her climax had left her.
Exhausted, the two of them headed for the sofa against the opposite wall to the desk. There they collapsed in each other's arms. Elitha lay on her back, and took Jade in her arms so that she lay on top of her, burying her head under her chin.
In a soft voice, she stated: "You didn't come back just to see me again. What is it you want from me?"
"I didn't realise it was so obvious." Responded the llianar, "Okay - I need some information about your boyfriend."
"He's not my 'boyfriend' any more. We split up." Came the reply.
"Why is that?" Jade asked.
"Even I have standards, and he crossed the line when he captured that other dick-chick a few months ago. He ordered her to be experimented on until she talked. As you know, she killed herself before they got anything out of her. But I was surprised she even lasted that long. She was a tough one, she was." Elitha answered. "After that, my eyes were opened. At last I saw him for the scum he really is."
"So why does he keep you as his assistant?" The llianar enquired.
The woman explained: "He's not stupid enough to let anyone who got that close to him out of his sight. So he keeps me where he can see me. But then the Yeshan forces arrived, and began to rattle his little cage. He took some of his most loyal lap dogs, and fled the city."
"So, where is he now?" Jade questioned.
"Believe me." Elitha admitted, "I don't know. He only communicates with me via com-link. Nobody in this office had seen him for that last month or so. The only one who has had any contact with him, besides me, is Mira, his new flame. It didn't take long for that bastard to charm a new plaything into his bed."
"One more question." Continued Jade, "Why did you make me cum inside of you?"
"It was you who opened my eyes to see Jarvis for what he really is." The woman explained, "His filthy cock had released its load into me so many times that I felt polluted. I needed someone else to make me feel clean again. When I heard that you had returned, I knew that you were that person."
Almost sub-consciously, the woman's hand began to caress Jade's cock. Soon she felt it grow in her palm. The llianar put one hand in the small of her partner's back, and lifted her hips with the other, so that her maidenhead brushed the rampant organ. Gently this time, she pushed herself into the moist opening. With all the tenderness she could muster, she took her partner to the very height of ecstasy before she let her own climax flood over her. Even if she did want to stop herself from cumming inside the woman, her gentle hand on her butt let her know that she was welcome there.
At last she stopped thrusting as Elitha's hips still bucked off the seat. This time she allowed herself to remain inside her until the last drop had been released. As with all llianari, her member still remained hard, demanding more. Obligingly, Elitha took her turgid cock in her mouth, and pushed it in as far as it could go without her gagging on it. She rode up and down, while Jade's hips rocked back and forth in unison with her movements. The woman tasted the first hint of bitter almond on her tongue, then lifted her head just before her partner came a second time.
Only then did the llianar relax, her desire spent. Elitha rested her head against Jade's muscular tummy, and fondled lazily with her now flacid member, every now and then wiping the strands of sticky white fluid, that oozed from its tip, on the cushion.
Jade ran her fingers through the woman's sweat-laden tresses. She said softly: "So where do I find this Mira chick?"
"She doesn't work from here any more. Jarvis got her an apartment nearby. I can give you the address, but under one condition." Came the reply.
"And what's that?" Jade asked.
The woman answered: "That you don't go there yourself. She is no slouch with a weapon. She grew up in a rough neighbourhood, and is more than capable of taking care of herself. Whoever deals with her shouldn't do so alone. She's dangerous."
"Thanks for the tip, Elitha. I promise we'll be careful." The llianar vowed.
"That's not all." The woman continued, "I can tell you where to find the team members that ambushed your friend and her comrades when they first arrived in Rothloe. Not only that, I know who informed Jarvis that there was a plan to capture him."
"Why are you telling me this?" Jade enquired once again.
"There's a lot of us who want to see the end of this violence. We weren't all part of it because we agreed with the leaders' doctrines." She explained, "I was a college graduate when Jarvis found me. I had studied to become a forensic technician. So when he offered me a job in the cloning labs, I gave no thought to what the work entailed. It was an opportunity to further my career, that's all. The pay was good too. Soon Erlang took a shine to me, and promoted me to the position where I am now.
Then the affair started. At first, I guess, I was in love with him. Too enamoured to see what he and his followers were trying to achieve. But in my heart-of-hearts, I knew that it was all wrong. I just couldn't do anything about it without losing my position. As if that means anything!
And I wasn't the only one. By the time you came along, there were a few of us that tried to make a difference. Hell! Even some of the clones had a better sense of 'right and wrong' than the bastards that created them! One of them even tried to help your friend - Shiress I think she called herself - escape. She was gang-raped and left for dead for her efforts.
Every beast's reign comes to an end. And it's time that someone ended that of Jarvis Erlang, the fucking Slaver." The anger that accompanied these last words convinced Jade that what she said was the truth.

Ever since the monastery's foundation in the 10th cent., St. John the Baptist has been the patron saint of Walsrode Abbey. The medieval stained glass window shows him in his camel hair gown, leather belt and the lamb as reference to the crucified and risen Jesus Christ.
< View of the nave
St. John's Day on 24th June is an important day in the annual calendar as Midsummer's Day. Many traditions were linked to this day, and even now Midsummer's Day is a widely celebrated.
Since the 1980s, the Convent has celebrated this holiday with a public singing in the monastery chapel. Many guests from Walsrode and further afield congregate in the chapel in order to join in communal singing of summery songs - church hyms as well as secular songs. The Superintendent and the choirmaster of the town's church and sometimes a choir support Convent and visitors in the joyful "St. John's Day Singing".
After a brief break, the Convent then re-enters the chapel to the tolling of the monastery bell dressed in their solemn habit to celebrate a church service with the visitors.
This is the only regular church service in the chapel. On Sundays, the Convent attends the service in the Town Church: dressed in cope and bonnet, the ladies of the convent take their accustomed places in the "Prieche", a secluded stall in the church's chancel.

Back in late May 2017 BeCA (HERE), reported on this website of the need for cyclists to be aware of the gutter used to separate the veloway from adjoining footpaths as in the photo above. This method of separation mainly occurs in Baringa around the new school. At that time in late May 2017 BeCA mentioned that several cyclists had had nasty spills when they inadvertently clipped the safety gutter causing them to tumble off. Regretfully these spills continue to occur with one older residents suffering nasty bumps, cuts and scratches from his recent fall.
At the time, BeCA suggested to Stockland that these gutters could be painted a brighter color to further alert cyclists that they are there. Stockland is again considering painting the gutter in a hi-vis color following on from BeCA's recent concerns. We are hopeful that the request will be granted and the gutter will be made more visible for those using the veloway.
The problem is that where there isn't an immediate adjoining footpath, there isn't a safety gutter as the above photo shows. As this photo shows, a 30cm garden separates the footpath with the veloway in this situation and therefore, there is not a separating gutter.
Extensive works continue at the new school site getting things ready for the first school day of 2018. A major section of the veloway directly outside the school site is currently unavailable for pedestrians and cyclists to use because of the last minute site works. At these places pedestrians and cyclists are asked to use the footpath on the opposite side of the road. However sections of this footpath are also closed to pedestrians as construction gets underway on a new block of terrace housing.
When completed, the whole Baringa area will be a great spot for both pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy. Until all site works are completed and footpaths and veloways again become available, BeCA urges all cyclists and pedestrians to use extreme care when travelling in Baringa.

Consolidating Debts: Unsecured Personal Lending options
For some, the answer to consolidating debts is to obtain an unsecured personal lending option in Nome, Alaska. Because the lending option is unsecured, you don't need assets. Thus in case you ever default on the loan, there is nothing the lender will be able to take away from you like a car or property as with a secured loan.

Contemplating an unsecured personal loan for debt consolidation in Nome, Alaska? Recognize your options in Nome, Alaska
A reputation for paying your bills when they're due and great credit can make it easy to get a low rate on an unsecured lending option. For people with excellent credit, rates go down as far as 5 to 6 percent. For people who have poor credit ratings, you might not get approved. Those that get a loan with poor credit are going to pay higher interest rates (perhaps 15-20%).Read More
Alternatives for those that have very unhealthy credit scores include financing against home equity or putting up collateral. Even so, the interest rates might be too high, if you can even get approved. Therefore, other options may be better for you.
Below-average Credit and Unsecured Personal Loans
Unsecured personal lending options are typically not a possibility for people that have bad credit. Those that do get approval, can get extremely high, expensive interest rates. Loan sharks will typically provide extremely unreasonable rates. The lending company recognizes that you are not as likely to pay your bills punctually if you have a bad credit score. It could also suggest that you have maxed all of your credit lines.
When a loan provider examines your credit profile and score, they won't like to deal with your high risk history. For this reason you'll be shelling out large fees and interest rates if you're able to get approved for the lending option. Loaning to you is seen as a risk, and the loan company wants to be compensated for that financial risk.
The large fees and interest rates associated with unfavorable credit ratings and unsecured personal loans can cause it to be extremely hard for you to attain your goals and objectives. With an interest rate of 19% to 29%, you may continue to have a problem. At that rate, you will pay $19 to $29 for each $100 you borrow. It usually is better to discover other means of help with your debt.
Are You Eligible for an Unsecured Personal Loan with Below-average Credit?
If you apply for a loan, lenders are going to do a credit check. You will find few lenders that will let people take a loan with no credit check. Your practices and reputation of paying your bills are revealed in your credit rating. This is one way the loan provider knows whether or not you're likely to come up with timely repayments.
Hence any kind of loan company willing to provide a substantial unsecured personal lending option without any credit check is probably not legit. If it's a reputable loan provider, then you are probably going to be paying high interest rates or extreme fees. You'll find yourself repaying 3 times what you borrowed. Whenever we say it that way, it does not sound like a deal. Even though you might not like the idea of running your credit to acquire a new line of credit, you should agree to pull your credit for any reasonable lending option offer.
In case you are concerned about lacking adequate credit history to get a loan, then today is probably not the right time to seek financing. You should expect any honest loan provider to examine your credit scores. Lots of people have zero credit standing whatsoever, and they are also less likely to acquire a loan. Hence you should build up your credit history to make your loan request more suitable to financial institutions later on.
Loan companies Providing Guaranteed Approval for Unsecured Loans
When you're trying to get financing, you'd probably feel much better if your future loan provider offered "guaranteed approval" right? It appears that all you need to do is apply and you can be accepted for a loan. It may sound like a good arrangement. Before you decide to jump at the opportunity, consider what it really suggests.
Could a reputable loan company really promise a guaranteed approval loan? What sort of financial institution might do this? I don't know of many lenders who will promise to agree to a loan application without demanding income verification or credit history. When you've got zero income, why could a truthful loan company promise to agree to your request? There would be too much risk for a lender if they agreed to promise a loan acceptance without knowing about your financial circumstances.
That is why you shouldn't count on assured approval of a lending option from any kind of honest loan provider. The loan originator must evaluate your financial situation, including your income and past debt and credit report. Before they are able to decide whether you're a very good candidate for a lending product, they will need to estimate your income to debt proportion. This will let the lender know if you are able to take care of the brand new loan in addition to your existing financial obligations.
You could be pre-approved without a serious consumer credit inquiry. They do this by doing a light pull on your credit that doesn't affect your credit score. This isn't much like certain approval, but it's as near as you are going to get.
Unsecured Personal Loan Value
One thing you need to think about while you're trying to get an unsecured loan on the internet is exactly how much you wish to borrow. According to the financial institution, the minimum loan may be in between $1K to $5K. There are various maximum loan amounts with various financial institutions, as well.
The max sum can be between $35,000 to $40,000, depending on the loan provider. And you will find others that can enable you to receive all the way as much as $100,000. With bigger financial loans, you can get a lesser monthly installment, a longer period to pay it back, and a higher rate of interest.
It can save you lots of money by paying a higher monthly payment to pay back the money faster. You have to look at the different repayment sums versus the duration of your loan to determine which option meets your budget. Lots of people are inclined to get much more than is actually required for their requirements. However, repaying it all can be harder than you can manage.
When you only need $50K, then you should not be lent $100K, even if that is an option for you when searching for an unsecured personal loan in Nome, Alaska. Carefully consider each of the options, such as the fees, installments, and interest rates.
Would it be Challenging to Acquire an Unsecured Loan?
How challenging it is to find an unsecured personal loan varies according to a number of things. When you satisfy the financial institution's lending requirements then you shouldn't have a hard time being approved for a financial loan. The challenges happen for those who have lower income or poor credit history. You definitely are not going to get the lowest interest rates if you've got a low credit score. For people who have average or weak credit you will probably pay a larger interest rate and maybe even present more proof to substantiate your income.
Unsecured financial loans are harder to receive than secured financial loans given that secured loans have assets to back them up in the event that you ever fail to pay on the loan. However overall unsecured loans are not hard to get when you meet their credit standing and income requirements. People who do not satisfy the lender standards have the alternative of waiting for six months or so while they focus on their consumer credit and income source. Loan companies want to see on time payments and lines of credit that aren't maxed. If you want an unsecured personal loan with a reasonable interest rate and monthly payment, these are generally the factors to concentrate on.
Responding to Credit Card Debt with Unsecured Loans
Despite having fine credit scores, your credit card rates can be as much as 19-23%, and are most likely not less than 12 to 15% It's outrageous.
There's something you could do about it and it won't require too much time. You can consider a market place lender who's eager to increase its business and lend out money at a reasonable rate to save you from these high charge card interest rates. You can easily pay back your personal credit card debt with a low rate unsecured loan. There are lending options available, should you qualify, with the minimal rate of interest of 5.99%. Compare this to the present-day interest you're paying on your credit cards right now and find out the money you could save each month.
The fixed terms of unsecured personal loans are superior to the indefinite revolving of credit cards. It requires way less time to settle debt with set monthly installments. Dependant upon the loan length you pick, it could be as low as 24 to 84 months.
Many who are sick of credit card providers with their fees and excessive interest charges utilize competitive online loan providers for unsecured personal loans.
Unsecured Personal Loan Solutions near Nome
There's a lot of people who have small income and less-than-perfect credit that want to obtain an unsecured personal loan in Nome, Alaska. Professional lenders won't let people get a loan at a lower APR when they have a reputation of skipping monthly payments or insufficient income to settle their financing application. You should be aware that when you have bad credit, low earnings or no assets you will typically not have a minimal interest rate loan and will probably be denied and have to try to find alternate options for your financial debt issues.

Best of the Web
Our weekly round up of the best things we've seen on the internet.
We're very busy here at Design Week, so although we've heard this site is great, we simply haven't had a moment to play on it. No way. And naturally had absolutely no time to make a special stick man with MC Hammer shorts and a speech bubble declaring 'I heart Design Week.' You're probably not as rushed of your feet as us and should therefore spend the rest of your day playing on this (apparently) awesome website.
Architecture magazine Blueprint asked a series of designers, artists and architects to redesign the British roadsign, and here are the consequences.

On the eve of the Postmodernism show opening at the V&A , it's fairly timely that we take it upon ourselves to comment on people commenting on comments.

Trump Administration Set To Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes
Following growing health concerns regarding vaping, the Trump Administration has prepared a ban on flavored e-cigarettes.
CNBC reports that federal health officials have called for restrictions of vape and e-cigarette products. The call for restrictions comes following a sudden outbreak of a lung disease that has sickened hundreds and killed six people. In response, the Trump administration is readying a ban on flavored e-cigarettes.
According to CNBC, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is finishing a guide to remove all non-tobacco flavors of e-cigarettes, including mint and menthol, from the market within a 30-day time span. Tobacco flavored products will be kept on the market for adults who may be using them to quit smoking cigarettes. It could be possible for companies to reintroduce their flavored products back into the market at a later date, but they must submit a formal application and be granted approval from the FDA.
Vaping has seen a spike in underage usage, which is attributed to companies like Juul for having flavors like mango and creme, according to CNBC. The Health and Human Services Secretary, Alex Azar, said that the Trump Administration wants to reverse the epidemic of youth e-cigarette use.
In New York State, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Monday, Septemeber 9, 2019, that he plans to ban flavored e-cigarettes as well. There have been 41 confirmed cases of illnesses caused by vaping in New York State.

He knows all my feelings about him now, so the ball is really in his court.
Everyone has a reputation in one way or the other, but do you ever get to hear about yours unsolicited? He's in a serious relationship, and during our conversation, something dawned on me: All my friends who are in serious relationships think being single is just NON-STOP fun.
I put it all out there: I think he is good-looking. Jocelyn reminded him that all relationships are a risk. After all the discussion today about commitment-phobia, I read a few articles on the topic.
He is fun to hang out with, and we always have a great time together. I reminded him that I understood the risks, and thought that we were both over thinking things. Tim definitely meets most of the criteria for being a commitment-phobe. How do you feel about this relationship/project right now? I want to have fun with this all, no matter what happens. While I am still not feeling well, I'm realizing how much a positive outlook can help.
In the New Yorker there is an English translation of a story by Haruki Murakami, called Yesterday.
I was reading the first part of it to my wife, and the young man speaking asked, "Did she let you go all the way?
He quickly followed this statement by warning me that this plan very well might backfire! He asked me how I could possibly like him considering everything that has happened, considering his past, considering his reputation, considering that he has blonde hair and that he's not my usual "type." I told him that besides his serious commitment issues and all the shit that goes with it, I think we could be a pretty good fit. He said he is concerned about what people will think of him if the relationship becomes intimate. Ultimately, some of the things our friends are saying are a mirror of what we're actually feeling. We also discussed the idea of taking our relationship further and what that could mean. If Jessie and I were using a scorecard for the first 17 days of this project within the "Baseball Metaphor" rules, it would be wildly uneventful.
He suggested that I could try being completely open with the reasons that I like him, which might make him feel more secure. It's very important to me that I find someone that I can collaborate with, formulate ideas with, and just make shit with. After I told him all this, Tim seemed genuinely confused and taken aback. Jocelyn talked about how vulnerable we are to our friends' opinions. I feel bad that I'm confused about what I want, but after what happened the other night, I'm even more defensive about it. If she could just ease up on the gas a bit, then I'd be more willing to come around. My friends only hear the highlights once a month, but they don't hear about all those long, tireless innings full of eating bad food and drinking beer alone in the stands.
My wife immediately asked whether the common English expression "to go all the way," referring to sexual intercourse, would be that similar in Japanese.I answered that I didn't know, but that it might be a fairly universal concept.I assured her that more detailed American English slang on that topic would not be mirrored word for word.In American non-baseball usage it can be used to joyously indicate incredible, 100% success; or it can be used facetiously to indicate complete failure with no successes."In every single trial our toxic brew killed all the bedbugs. " "In every single trial our toxic brew failed to kill a single bedbug." (Sighs): "We're batting a thousand." Longer answer: "Batting a thousand," refers to a player's If he got a hit 29 times after 96 at-bats, he would have a .30308333 batting average.This gets rounded to .303 for all intents and purposes.

Kevin Harvick won the 26th annual Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard on Sunday. He dominated the race leading all but 42 laps en route to his second victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the 48th of his career.
"Yeah, this is great. Got to say thanks to all the fans. Can't tell you how much, yeah, that's great. How much coming to Indianapolis means to me, as a kid I watched Rick Mears win Indy 500s and got to be around him as a kid, and he was my hero, so coming here and winning here is pretty awesome." Harvick said.
This was Harvick's third victory of the season and his 17th top-10 finish in 2019.
"Yeah, I don't know if we had the best car, but we had the fastest car. We gave up the lead there on one of those restarts and then we came and pitted and the caution came out and it worked our way. We've given so many away just because of circumstances here, and the way that the caution flag fell today actually worked in our favor. It gave us control of the race and we were able to keep control of the race and not make any mistakes and here we are in Victory Lane at one of the greatest places on earth to race," Harvick said.
In a rare schedule that saw qualifying early Sunday morning, Harvick qualified on the pole. Stages were broken into 50/50/60 laps to make up the 160 lap race.
Stage 1: Lap 1- Lap 50
On Lap 12, potential playoff contender Daniel Suarez slapped the wall off Turn 2 and brought out the first caution of the day. Chaos broke out on pit road when an incident saw Chase Elliott get turned around causing a backup on pit road. Jimmie Johnson, Martin Truex Jr., Bubba Wallace, William Byron and Austin Dillon were all involved.
Johnson had the most damage and would have to come back down pit road for a right rear issue. After the restart, Kurt Busch had a left front tire rub which saw him making a pit stop shortly after on Lap 17. As a result of the incident on pit road, Truex had left front damage on his car. Also during this stint, Brad Keselowski reported a possible vibration, but it was minimal.
The second caution flew on Lap 43 when the No. 00 of Landon Cassill hit the wall hard after a right-front tire went down. Cassill walked out under his own power and was okay.
Under the caution, Joey Logano and Ryan Newman played pit strategy by staying out to get the top spots and everyone else wound up pitting.
A restart came with four to go in Stage 1, however, the field was slowed once more with Erik Jones and Keselowski making contact with each other off Turn 2. Jones hit the wall hard and Keselowski's car went sliding down to hit the tire barrier. Both drivers would be unharmed.
Due to the incident so late in the stage, Stage 1 ended under yellow with Team Penske's Joey Logano taking the stage win. Kyle Larson, Harvick, Ryan Blaney, Newman, Johnson, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Alex Bowman and Chris Buescher rounded out the top-10 stage finishers. A red flag would eventually come out to allow track workers to clean up the accident.
Stage 2: Lap 57- Lap 100
Stage 2 almost saw a long green-flag run to the end of the stage before a caution was brought out by Kyle Busch. His motor expired and his car came to a stop on pit road going up in smoke. NASCAR would fly the yellow flag due to the car being stopped.
At the time of caution, Johnson was the leader and green flag pit stops were taking place. Harvick had already pitted on Lap 85 and caught a lucky break with the timing of the yellow. Harvick would cycle out as the leader for the restart. Like the ending of Stage 1, another caution was seen for debris in Turn 2 on Lap 97 and the stage ended under yellow once more.
This time it was Harvick who would end up winning the stage. Logano, Larson, Blaney, Logano, Clint Bowyer, Suarez, Kurt Busch, Johnson and Byron were the top-10 stage finishers for Stage 2.
Stage 3: Lap 105- Lap 160
When Stage 3 began, a major wreck broke out in Turn 2 when Johnson hit the wall. This would end Johnson's championship hopes for the first time in his career. Kurt Busch, Byron, Buescher, Menard, Kligerman and Daniel Hemric were also involved in the crash.
In what seemed like a potential race losing moment for Harvick, Blaney took the lead for a short while before green flag pit stops began with 34 to go. Harvick pitted from the lead two laps later and once again, a caution was flown for the No. 42 of Larson who hit the wall.
Two more yellows were seen. The first occurred with 26 to go for Bowman spinning off Turn 2 and hitting the inside wall on the backstretch. The other caution came with 14 to go when Matt Tifft hit the wall in Turns 1 and 2.
This would set up a late race restart with nine to go. Logano was on the outside row and tried to make a move on Harvick on the backstretch. However, Harvick closed him off, checked out from the field and went on to win his third race of the season and the 48th of his career.
"As long as I was side-by-side going into Turn 1, I just didn't feel like they were going to pass me," Harvick added to PRN Radio. "I felt like I could hold my car in the second lane for the first three corners and nobody ever made it to the fourth corner on the inside line. So for us, I just needed to stay side-by-side and I wasn't trying the bottom again, and that didn't work. Luckily, things worked our way."
With three wins this season, Harvick is going to compete for the championship and hopes to win his second title for the first time since 2013. Harvick led five times for 118 laps for his second career Indy win.
There were nine cautions for 48 laps and 13 lead changes among eight drivers.
Up Next: With the playoff grid set, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers began their 10 race playoff run next weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

A couple weeks ago I was asked by a sweet friend, and blogger extraordinaire, to do a guest post over at her place...I about fell off my chair from excitement when I read her email. (I kid you not;)
Amy, over at The Idea Room, is constantly sharing wonderful ideas revolving around crafts, decor, home improvement, recipes, and gift ideas! She had a fun and oh-so busy last couple of weeks (Spring Break vaca with her family, then attended Creative Estates) so I was more than happy [honored really] to relieve her load a bit and provide the post over there today. I had a few ideas...some of which I'm still working on...but this is what I decided to share :) This is just a sneak peak...I'd love it if you'd GO HERE to check out my spring time craft :) It was easy, and you can take it in so many directions...let me know what you think! :)
PS - Here are just a few FANTASTIC projects and recipes of Amy's...enjoy!
(I want to make these for Brooks, when he's a big older and won't eat them;)

Experimental Identification of Asymmetric Information: Evidence on Crop Insurance in the Philippines
Gunnsteinsson, Snaebjorn
Gunnsteinsson, Snaebjorn. 2017. Experimental Identification of Asymmetric Information: Evidence on Crop Insurance in the Philippines. University of Maryland, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics Working Papers, WP 17-04.
MetadataShow full item record
Asymmetric information imposes costs on a wide range of markets and may explain why some important markets, such as most agricultural insurance markets, have failed to develop. It is hard to empirically identify the different dimensions of asymmetric information but doing so is crucial for improving efficiency and solving market failures. I develop a new experimental methodology and apply it to study asymmetric information in crop insurance in the Philippines. Using a combination of preference elicitation, a two-level randomized allocation of insurance and detailed data collection, I test for and find evidence of adverse selection, moral hazard and their interaction – that is, selection on anticipated moral hazard behavior. I conclude that information asymmetry problems are substantial in this context and that they are unlikely to be reduced appreciably through contract redesign alone.

This year's volunteers have arrived to Congo-Brazzaville
Gothia Cup's new volunteers have left Sweden to spend the next six month at our sports school in Congo-Brazzaville. At CF Gothia they will support the leaders in the daily activities.
Around 300 children attend to our sports school in Brazzaville. After school, the children go to CF Gothia to play football, beach volleyball and practice gymnastics. In conjunction with training, the children participate in social activities, with education in the school's ten hallmarks as welll as lectures in life lessons: physiology and puberty, gender-based violence, hygiene and discrimination – subjects that are taboo in many households.
CF Gothia runs with local leaders in Brazzaville but every year two Swedish volunteers go to Congo-Brazzaville to support the leaders at the school. Last week this year's volunteers left Sweden for an experience of a lifetime.
Elin Weman is 19 years old, from Nävlinge in southern Sweden and she's an elite wrestler. She's excited to widen her world in a totally different environment and culture.
"I expect to get to know all the children and adolescents and learn a lot about Congo-Brazzaville and the Congolese people. I really look forward to live in a Congolese family. I love challenges and felt that this was a great opportunity", Elin says.
Olof Lagerqvist is 24 years old and his ordinary work is in shipping and logistics in Gothenburg. He has played football since he was five years old and has a great interest in sports in general.
"With my experience in football, I look forward to find out how the same sport is played on a different continent. The big challenge will be to live in a different culture and I hope to learn a lot, about other people but also about my self. And I look forward to try a lot of new food!", Olof says.

Crédit Agricole Immobilier's 2010 results: a year of growth and strong housing production
Crédit Agricole Immobilier generated net operating income of €123.5 million and net income of €22.5 million in 2010. It is now active at all stages of the real estate value chain and throughout France.
Crédit Agricole Immobilier is a national and global real estate specialist. It refocused on four key businesses in 2010: real estate development, property management and sales, facility management and advisory & valuation services. Its core duty is to offer useful services to the Crédit Agricole Group, for which it manages all property facilities, as well as to the market in general.
The company has reported:
- €123.5 million in net operating income, up 17% on 2009
- €22.5 million in net income, up 75% on 2009.
Key achievements in 2010:
- 2,650 homes sold, 1,400 delivered and 3,900 under development;
- 5 student halls of residence delivered or under development under the "Les Académiades" brand, and 5 elderly care homes delivered or under development;
- 3 Crédit Agricole Regional Banks headquarters delivered, including the Crédit Agricole Centre France administrative centre at Aurillac, the first multi-purpose timber-framed positive energy structure in France;
- the delivery of the Crédit Agricole Group's data centre, comprising two 14,000 m² sites. Situated near Chartres, these buildings are equipped with fresh-air cooling systems and vegetated roofs and blend perfectly into the surrounding countryside.
2010 was also the year of "Evergreen", the project to relocate Crédit Agricole S.A. and its subsidiaries to Montrouge near Paris. Crédit Agricole Immobilier played a key role in this process. It offered expert advice on the acquisition of the site and took responsibility for organising the office space, installing the incoming staff and constructing 110,000 m² of buildings.
In property management, Crédit Agricole Immobilier has new mandates, including Europe Avenue, 65,000 m² of offices certified to High Environmental Quality (HQE®) standard at Bois-Colombes, occupied by IBM and GDF Suez.
In advisory and valuation services, Crédit Agricole Immobilier invested €600 million in 2010 on behalf of Predica, the Crédit Agricole Group's personal insurance subsidiary, and set up three real estate funds: OPCI Predica Bureaux, OPCI Predica Habitations and OPCI Predica Commerces. Crédit Agricole Immobilier has €1.5 billion assets under management.
In 2011, Crédit Agricole Immobilier will operate within the guidelines of the Crédit Agricole Group Project to meet its priorities:
- healthcare via the construction of hospitals and elderly care homes, and by adapting the homes it builds, particularly for senior citizens;
- sustainability via its construction methods, taking account of energy and environmental issues;
- housing, with activity throughout the production process, particularly in priority zones, as well as consideration of low-income families' access to housing and the promotion of age, functional and social diversity in housing.

Project management (PM) is a professionally planned and organized process to achieve a project's goals and working results.

Effective Work with Docs
Google has a variety of options that ideally suits project management needs, including Google Docs. Google Docs is very useful with its many functions, helping you to create spreadsheets, presentations, and text documents.

In addition, there are a lot of in-the-cloud analogues, like OpenOffice or Zoho. They offer the ability to share your docs from any device with Internet capability and to edit them too. It is a convenient function in today's world, because you can edit files in the cloud, if it is necessary.
Fast Calendar Sharing
Staying informed in terms of due dates with your project management assignment is almost impossible without a smart online calendar. There is a substantial amount of calendars for assistance on the Web, starting from super-detailed to extremely minimalistic. The most popular one is Google Calendar, which certainly offers benefits. You can synchronize it with all of the Google apps you are using for your assignment.

PE in St Edmund Campion is an area of strength and a subject that we strongly promote. It has been well documented that children who take part in regular PE perform better in all other areas of their academic learning.
All children take part in 2 hours of PE lessons each week with the focus being on Games, Gym and Dance with the addition of swimming in the summer term. In Dance the focus is on the children developing the skills needed to be able to create and combine a series of movements that when performed together create a dance sequence. Children in Years 4-6 take part in an annual musical and dance performance at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts. Children in Year 3 take part in the annual Schools Partnership Dance festival.
The focus in our Gym lessons is more about the children developing their agility, balance and co -ordination skills using a variety of equipment, music and floor work.
Games is an area where the children can focus on their agility and inter personal skills all of which are an important part of team games.
Each unit works on developing their own personal bests so that they are only competing with themselves to help build resilience and determination. In KS1 there is also an afternoon PE break where children are allowed time to develop basic skills of catching, throwing, skipping, climbing, hopping using a variety of equipment. We are also lucky to have an all-weather running track where the children are able to go out and run the "Daily Mile" at some point during the school day.
Having a heated outdoor swimming pool on site means that all children from Reception up to Year 6 get the chance to swim and improve their skills during the summer term.
There are a number of inter school competitions and tournaments which the school takes part in on a regular basis and always does well in, eg Tag Rugby, Hi 5 Netball, Kwik Cricket, Badminton, Football, Tennis, and Hockey culminating last year in receiving a place to go and compete in the Berkshire School Games in Tennis, orienteering and netball. We were county champions in netball and orienteering in 2018.
We often come first in local tournaments in a variety of sports and go on to represent our Borough in the Berkshire County Finals held at Bradfield College or Bisham Sports Centre.
Extra Curriculum Activities
Before and after school, there are also a number of clubs which cater for all the age ranges of children within the school. Some of the clubs include:
- Running Y3-6
- Tag Rugby Y1-6
- Football Y3/4/5/6
- Hi 5 Netball Y3/4/5/6
- Badminton R –Y6
- Hockey KS2
- Cricket Y1-6
- Rounders Y3-6
- Tennis all ages
- Cheerleading Y2-Y6
- Rowing Y6
- Street Dance Age 7+ in the mornings and 5+ after school.
Most of these clubs are free and run by school staff and are very well attended. Our children love sport.
We currently hold Gold Mark award for Sport. This is an annual award that is given to schools that show they are committed to sport and healthy lifestyles.
Here at St. Edmund Campion we also have Sport Ambassadors who are chosen from Year 5 and Year 6 to lead fun games during lunchtimes to encourage all children to take part in some form of daily exercise.
Future Funding
We have just been allocated £19,620 for 2018-19. This funding is allocated to the following:

Income: £19,620
|Equipment purchased inc. tennis equipment, tag rugby equipment, rainbow wands and Forest School Equipment.
|We have continued to invest in the schools equipment to make sure we are delivering high quality PE with high quality equipment.
|PE equipment and pool service and repair
|All equipment that is used by the children in their PE lessons such as the large Gym apparatus and benches are checked every year to make sure they are safe for purpose. Any problems are repaired or replaced where needed. The Pool is also checked regularly and any repairs needed are undertaken quickly to make sure that it is safe for the children at all times to use.
|Real PE whole school inset day

|Ascot & Maidenhead Sports Partnership 18-19
|Being part of the partnership has increased the number of competitions and festivals available and therefore increased the number of children participating in these events.
|Staff cover whilst attending courses and competitions
|Being able to cover the cost of supply cover has meant that teachers and staff are more able to take teams to the various competitions and festivals on offer. Keeping up to date with CPD has meant that teachers are able to build on their confidence in all areas of PE.
|CPD Shallow Pools Training
|All teachers have to have up to date shallow pool training to be able to teach swimming in our school pool. This qualification lasts 2 years.This proved a valuable chance for the PE co-ordinator to network idea share making sure that we are still delivering high quality inclusive PE and activities for all children within school.
|Transport to competitions
|Most competitions and festivals are off site and need transport to get the teams there. The sports premium has meant that this is no longer a stumbling block for teachers and families. More children have taken the opportunities to take part in the competitions on offer.
|Swimming Lessons at Lunchtime for non-swimmers
|This was a lunchtime club targeting the children who were still struggling with swimming through school. It had a positive effect on the children attending both in their ability and their confidence and is something we are going to run again this year.
|Pastoral manager and ELSA support
|Having onsite pastoral care and ELSA support has meant that children with any issues can be identified earlier and supported from an early age.
In summary, we take sport very seriously. Not because we are obsessed about winning, but we believe that everyone one at our school should benefit from sport. We teach children to lose and win with grace. We want everyone at our school to engage in sport, enjoy it and carry this on for life.

Hey everyone! I'm a huge fan of products that remind me of dessert, I mean who isn't?! I especially love when brands packaging resembles sweet treats. I must say I am a sucker for cute packaging because after all that's what you see first before testing out a product. So I thought it would be fun to review some of my "sweet" products for you all!
*Keep an eye out for next weeks post. It'll be the beauty products I got for Christmas!
L'Oreal (Pro Matte Les Chocolats Scented Liquid Lipstick)– I saw an ad for these liquid lipsticks in a magazine and obviously that night I had to go find them! I got the scent 'Dose of Cocoa' which is a mauvey-nude. These smell EXACTLY like chocolate, and honestly that's why I wanted it. I love that it's a liquid lipstick, being that's all I typically wear since they last the longest. If you are a chocolate lover then I highly recommend purchasing one! I will say only the tube smells like chocolate, you don't smell it once it's on your lips.
Bath & Body Works (Hot Cocoa & Cream Body Lotion)– The other day I went to the store during their $8 candle sell (it was a complete mob, incase you were wondering). I randomly found this small body lotion sitting on a table so I grabbed it. I'm so glad I bought this because the smell is heavenly, and the packaging is super cute. It's not exactly a hand lotion but who cares, works the same way! I wash my hands a lot which causes them to get really dry, so I always have lotion in my purse. This contains Shea Butter which leaves your hands super soft and moisturized.
It's Skin (Cookie Hand Cream)– I've talked about this product numerous times on my blog and there's a good reason! I originally found this in Sephora a long time ago and was never able to find it since. This one I found on Amazon luckily! I use this hand lotion every night before bed, it smells just like mint chocolate chip. It has real cookie pieces inside that melt into your skin. If that isn't enough to make you buy it then idk what is!
I hope you enjoyed this post and until next time xoxo

Regular readers know I have an umbilical connection to Barclays, because my father spent his working life there, I was on the payroll myself for a decade, and I wrote a book about the bank's modern history, called Falling Eagle. So I cannot react objectively to news that the Serious Fraud Office has brought charges against Barclays' holding company and four former executives in relation to the £7 billion fundraising from Middle Eastern investors, including Qatar Holdings, that saved it from a taxpayer bailout in 2008. On behalf of the extended family of Barclays folk, I cannot feel anything but sadness to see a once-respected institution brought into the dock. All the more so since — despite the shenanigans of RBS, HBoS and all the rest — these are the first criminal charges against any UK bank or senior bankers in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
They relate to £322 million of '-advisory' payments and a £2 billion loan to Qatar Holdings at the time of the fundraising; the loan is alleged to constitute 'unlawful financial assistance', since it could be interpreted in court as Barclays lending to itself. The outline of the case has long been known, but goodness knows how long it will take to come to trial. Meanwhile, what is most astonishing to anyone familiar with the dramatis personae of modern Barclays is that among the individuals charged is the former chief executive John Varley.
I first knew Varley in the 1980s as an exceptionally capable young manager, trained as a solicitor, impeccably well tailored and mannered, who always looked destined for the top — but was also universally liked by his colleagues. One of our bosses told me he was 'the best man I've worked with in 30 years', and many of us thought him a last standard-bearer of rectitude, courtesy and human concern in a City that was changing for the worse. I have often written jokingly, even last week, about 'the curse of Qatar'; I have no idea what verdicts will result in the Barclays case, but I am very sorry indeed to see that curse fall on John Varley.
Without honour
Honours lists offer a glimpse of the changing public perception of business, or at least of that perception as filtered through Whitehall committees. The upper reaches of last week's contained none of the 'captains of industry' whose predecessors would have populated it a generation ago. The only business-tainted Companion of Honours were the designer Terence Conran and the entrepreneur-philanthropist Dame 'Steve' Shirley. Leaving aside Ukrainian-born multi--billionaire Sir Len Blavatnik, honoured for donations to the Tate Modern and elsewhere, the only knighted business leaders were Malcolm Walker, founder of frozen food retailer Iceland, and John Timpson, chairman of the eponymous shoe-repair chain which provides work for disabled people and ex-offenders.
As for the Square Mile, there was a K for the City Corporation's former Brexit spokes-man Mark Boleat, and a predictable damehood ('for services to diversity') for mother-of-nine media favourite Helena Morrissey, the fund manager who has campaigned for women on top company boards.
But if you run a multinational business or bank these days you should expect no public esteem, in gong form or otherwise. Rather you should brace at all times against abuse for being a fat cat and suspicion of being part of an establishment conspiracy. All of which perhaps contributed to Lord Mayor Andrew Parmley's decision to cancel the Mansion House dinner last Thursday, 'in the light of the tragedy at Grenfell Tower', after the Chancellor sent word he would no longer attend to speak.
Business clearly must go on, even after traumatic events, but we had to wait until Tuesday, after the formal start of the Brexit talks, to hear what Philip Hammond would have said at the Mansion House. Crowded as it is with foreign bankers and diplomats — who I have watched on previous occasions snatching selfies in awe of the swagger of the assembled City — this annual feast is also an important exercise in 'soft power'. But my man who polishes the Mansion House silver tells me 'the City is very aware of not looking out of touch these days — and banqueting while poor people burn isn't the image it wants'. Quite so. Andrew Parmley is a headmaster in his day job, not a moneyman, so perhaps unusually sensitive to these issues; and I'm sure cancellation wouldn't have happened without a nudge from Downing Street. But behind it, I suspect, was fear of the Corbynite mob.
Sir Owen's example
An authentic captain of industry of a generation ago (who died this week, aged 92) was Sir Owen Green. He built BTR, formerly British Tyre & Rubber, from a dusty group of factory businesses into a high-performing 1980s conglomerate and takeover player. Known for his modest style and tight grip on costs, he was also a quiet but wise member of the board of The Spectator, and it was in conversation with him that I crystallised the views I have expressed ever since on the subject of excessive boardroom pay.
In a May 1993 article headlined 'Snouts in the Trough', provoked by huge rises for privatised utility chiefs — and possibly the first full exposition of this debate in the national media — I quoted him: 'There's absolutely nothing to be said against entrepreneurs or pop stars creating personal wealth through their own talent… But in many large companies the people at the top are really a type of functionary; the culture and the strategy are already set. In any business which has not been created or distinctly improved by a single person, I can't see any justification for or any good example being set by trying to keep up with entrepreneurs, who are entirely different animals.'
Despite his example and my sermonising, that distinction between rewards due to corporate functionaries and entrepreneurs is more blurred today than it was then — and is one factor in the growing mood of hostility towards big corporate capitalism.

Rainham mosque planning application refused by council
PUBLISHED: 17:04 06 February 2019
A planning application to build a mosque in Rainham has been refused by Havering Council.
Plans were submitted to build a single storey modern building at 135 New Road, but it was refused by planning officers yesterday (Tuesday, February 5).
Residents who live close to New Road complained about a lack of parking if the Mosque was built.
Councillor Natasha Summers who campaigned against the mosque because of those reasons told the Recorder: "I am pleased the council put the residents first.
"I am for the residents and always have been. I received hundreds of letters of complaints about the application, and the council has listened to them.
"It wasn't because it was a mosque, if it had been an application for any community building there it wouldn't have made sense, and we would have objected to it too.
"I'd like to thank Ross Elliott for all his help campaigning, and realistically I just hope they don't try to build anything else like that there, and that they apply for somewhere more reasonable."
The council said the application was refused because of an anticipated increase in movement to and from the site would be detrimental to the area, there would be inadequate car parking spaces, and the mosque would be "unduly cramped" if it was built at the proposed site.
The application decision states: "The proposed community facility would, by way of its hours of operation and the anticipated increase in movement to and from the site associated with the intensity of the use sought, result in an unacceptable character change to the detriment of existing amenity.
"The proposed building would be adjacent to and in the immediate vicinity of, existing residential uses and it is considered that the increased levels of noise and
disturbance associated with the scale of activity and the hours of usage sought, particularly for occupiers in close proximity to the site would be unacceptable.
"The proposed use would, by reason of the inadequate on site car parking provision, lead to overspill in surrounding roads where there is existing parking stress. The proposals would therefore increase competition for existing on-street spaces within the surrounding roads to the detriment of the amenity of surrounding neighbouring occupiers and highway safety.
The proposed building would, by reason of its excessive overall proportions relative to the narrow and constrained site, scale, depth, design and siting, appear unduly cramped in the plot and consequently appear as a feature that would be out of keeping and visually intrusive in the streetscene."
The full list of the reasons why it was refused is available on the council's planning portal.

Leather is what I need. Not only is leather a trend for Fall 2012, but it is my favorite sleek-et-chic way to give an edge to a blouse, to sharpen a pair of slacks, or to use as an accent detail in accessories or apparel. While online browsing, as I always do, I find my self attracted to anything with faux or vegan leather. My favorite sites right now to find these gemes are Free People, Shopbop, Piperlime, Asos, and Urban Outfitters.
A great way to latch onto this trend is to find leather accents in pieces. For example, a long sleeve top with leather sleeves, or a skirt with a leather hem.
My favorite leather pieces for this season are as follows:
1. A Free People Vegan Leather Motorcycle Jacket
2. A Free People Vegan Leather Pleated Skirt
3. A Faux Leather Shopbop Dress
4. Michael Kors Faux Leather Leggings

Jack Hallows looks at Adam Lallana's struggles against his former club Southampton and why he'll have to be on top form this weekend when they come to Anfield if Liverpool is going to get a result.
Despite it being due to a Philippe Coutinho injury, seeing Adam Lallana return to the pitch earlier this week against Watford was a more than welcome sight for myself and many other Reds.
The Englishman has been one of Liverpool's best and most important players this season with his work ethic, performance level and newfound end product all being huge contributors to Jürgen Klopp's men being right in the competition for the Champions League places
However, this weekend he faces a personal test like no other: his old club Southampton.
Opportunity to lead by example
This game is huge in the bigger picture of Liverpool's season. The Reds haven't beaten Southampton since the 6-1 thrashing in the EFL Cup back in November 2015 but go into this match needing to take three points at every single opportunity to secure Champions League football.
Lallana is often mentioned – to the surprise of many – by Klopp as one of the biggest leaders in the Liverpool changing room and this game is the perfect chance for him to lead by example on the pitch too.
The Englishman has really embraced being one of the 'senior' players in the Liverpool camp this season, often letting his feet do the talking but also not being afraid to give others a bollocking or get stuck into confrontations with opponents.
While all this is great, however, Lallana still hasn't scored or assisted a league goal this calendar year with all 14 of his goal contributions coming before the turn of the year.
He's still been an important player don't get me wrong but Jürgen Klopp will hope that he can rediscover the creativity and penetration from midfield that made him so dangerous throughout the first half of the season.
Shrugging off the away support
It's no secret that Lallana – like fellow former Southampton man Dejan Lovren – is often affected hugely by playing against his former club.
It's no surprise really; Lallana played for them for 8 years, helped them to secure promotion into the Premier League and captained them when they got there. He loved that club and put his heart and soul into it – much like he currently does for Liverpool – so of course, it's going to hurt when they boo and jeer him in an attempt to throw him off his game.
If, however, there's any time for the midfielder to prove the new mental strength he's shown this season is no facade, it's this weekend.
The Reds are three games away from Champions League football and with Philippe Coutinho expected to make a full recovery in time for kick off, it's almost guaranteed that Lallana will line up in his favoured position on the right side of Klopp's midfield three.
In his favoured position, backed by the home support and surrounded by a strong Liverpool line-up, there can be no excuses.
The away support will try to get under his skin but Anfield will be louder. The home fans will be behind him every single step of the way and will cheer every Cruyff turn, back heel, spin and successful instance of pressure that he provides.
Have as much sentiment towards Southampton as you want Adam, you've earned that right but do it after the game. For those 90 minutes, focus solely on helping Liverpool to win that game.
Good signs against Watford a timely reminder
You just have to go back and watch the match against Watford for a reminder of how important this man is to Jürgen Klopp.
The game as a whole was a poor affair and – Emre Can's goal aside – won't exactly go down as a spectacle but Lallana still shone brightly with an encouraging performance.
He was understandably rusty at times having been out for over a month but overall he was very impressive. The Englishman boasted an 88% passing success rate, played one key pass, completed four take-ons and two crosses, chipped in with one defensive action and showcased sublime technique as he sent a left-footed volley crashing against the crossbar.
When he's not playing Liverpool's midfield just isn't the same. All credit to Can, Wijnaldum and Lucas, of course, as that trio has been fantastic in all of Liverpool's recent fixtures bar Palace but the creativity, dynamism and work ethic that Lallana brings is unrivalled by any of them.
His ability to not only find space himself but create it for others was singled out prior to the Watford game by Troy Deeney as his biggest fear when playing Liverpool and it's fair to see why.
Lallana's quick feet and ability to use his right and left equally allows him not only to jink and twist his way past opponents but open up passes that other players in the squad wouldn't be able to provide.
The former Saints man was constantly looking as if he'd run into dead ends down the right flank at Watford but a wonderful combination of a quick shift of his feet and a little bit of trickery saw him get away from trouble more often than not. Even in the build up to Emre Can's wonder goal, Lallana shifts the ball from his right to his left and back before backheeling a cute pass to Origi who squared to Lucas and the rest is history.
It's a huge game this weekend. The first of 'three finals' as all of the squad seem to be intent on demonstrating and Lallana is going to be absolutely key to getting us three points.
A solid 8/10 performance from him is always going to raise the games of the likes of Coutinho, Firmino, Can etc. and this is only going to be to our benefit. Let's hope he can finally get over this emotional hurdle and put his old club to the sword.

As remarked in the "talk" part of the wikipedia article, the proof is done with elements of a set and functions. I guess it's possible to carry it out purely with "objects" and "arrows"
Who volonteers to do that?
Edit: If possible without that Freyd embedding thm mentionned in the talk.
