Antique buttons with grapes.
Grapes were a popular theme among Victorian buttons. Grapes often represented Christ the with fruit & leaves symbolizing the Christian faith. Grapes themselves represented the sacrificial blood of Christ. The leaves stood for rebirth. The vines a representation of bounty.
Grapes are one of the earliest cultivated crops & the fruit & their vines are sacred to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. As such, these vines take on a jovial symbolism, representing celebration & abundance.
These are just a few examples of antique buttons with a grape motif.
A Bacchante or Maenad, female followers Bacchus, the god of wine.
Carved mother-of-pearl over abalone.
Before & After
Armor & Medieval weaponry.
Perhaps it was the influence of heraldry images on livery in the UK. Or it may have been the Arthurian revival in fiction & non-fiction stories of the 19th century that made armor & weaponry a popular subject for Victorian buttons. The last button above depicts Jean La Hache, aka Jeanne Hachette, a French heroine who helped to defend the town of Beauvais in 1472. She took an ax to an invading soldier who had scaled the city walls & was joined in battle by other women to defend their town. In this scene she is poised to attack one man while another falls to his death. The city celebrates with a holiday in her honor every June.
For the birds, the crane.
Antique Victorian crane buttons made in Paris, France, on original card with blue metallic tint. The crane, stork, or heron are 3 similar looking birds with similar symbolism dating to ancient times. Fifteen species of crane inhabit five continents.
Greek & Roman myth described the dance of cranes as one of love, joy & a celebration of life. The crane was associated with the sun god Apollo & is a sign of Spring. In Japanese, Chinese & Korean culture, the cranes fabled lifespan of 1000 years has made it a symbol of longevity, immortality & happiness.
The Japanese Crane has a red crown & white body. It stands nearly 5ft tall, with a wingspan of more than 6ft & is considered one of the most magnificent. These large & powerful wings were believed to carry people to higher levels of spiritual enlightenment & souls to paradise. The Japanese refer to the crane as "the bird of happiness;" the Chinese as "heavenly crane," believing it to be a symbol of wisdom.
Box on a doily.
I often wonder about the reasoning behind some design choices of button manufacturers in the 19th century. Some designs include everyday objects such as the corner of a lacy handkerchief, dice, horseshoes, buckles, bows, tassels, wreaths, fringed pillows, shells, medieval weaponry, umbrellas, plant containers, vases & more. The design on the large unused buttons of this card are a decorative box on a fancy lace doily.
A bit too plain for jewelry, these lovely silk buttons are perfect for costuming & re-enactors. The 2 cards at the top have a subtle stripe, while the set at the bottom has a braided center. The braided buttons are in a hard setting, most likely vegetable ivory. All have padded backs to sew through. Because these buttons would be more permanently attached by being sewn on, they were probably made for garments that weren't laundered as often such as coats & vests.
French pierced brass buttons.
Nearly a full card of pierced brass buttons with floral designs. Four different flowers among swirling leaves.
In the Victorian era, people enjoyed the use of symbolism in their everyday objects to provide additional meaning & transmit secret messages of love & friendship. There was entire "language of flowers," in which different floral arrangements conveyed certain feelings & messages. Even the placement & direction of a stamp on correspondence could convey a secret message of the heart.
One might expect anchors to represent the navy or military. In fact, the anchor was often paired in Victorian jewelry, accessories & buttons with a cross & heart. This trio represented faith hope & charity (or love), with the anchor meaning hope.
This card was made in Paris, France & the buttons still have their bright gold finish.

Disney can't seem to "Let It Go" just yet.
After breaking records at the box office, the "Frozen" train is going full-speed ahead to sequel town and bringing Elsa, Anna and company back to the big screen.
While speaking to The Telegraph over the holiday weekend, star Idina Menzel let it slip that a second installment to the 2013 smash hit is in the works. And though this news doesn't come as a surprise, it is a bit disheartening.
Over the years, Disney has tarnished one too many franchises with pointless (and plot-less) sequels. Although there's a slight chance "Frozen Part 2" can top Elsa and Anna's first adventure, if these less-than-stellar films from the past have taught us anything, it's that "Frozen" should be a one-and-done deal. Take a look at the flicks that should have stayed in the Disney Vault.
'The Return of Jafar' (1994)
What makes a sequel successful? Aside from a superior story line, returning cast members are also a primary ingredient — but apparently Disney didn't get that memo when green-lighting the follow-up to 1992's "Aladdin" sans Robin Williams.
Though Williams eventually returned for the third and final "Aladdin" flick, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves," in 1996, "The Return of Jafar" featured Dan Castellaneta in the role of the Genie. No offense to Castellaneta, but Williams is irreplaceable as the iconic blue cartoon, and his comedic chops were clearly MIA in this lackluster addition to the franchise.
'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas' (1997)
"Beauty and the Beast" will always be one of the most acclaimed Disney films of all time. Its holiday-inspired sequel? Not so much. "The Enchanted Christmas" not only failed to capture the real heart of the tale as old as time, but its mediocre musical numbers were laughable next to "Be Our Guest."
'The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea' (2000)
Let's be honest — it was probably enough to end "The Little Mermaid" franchise with Ariel and Prince Eric simply living happily ever after. But, alas, Disney wanted everyone to know the pair was venturing on to the next chapter of their lives — parenthood.
Unfortunately, "Return to the Sea" depicted Ariel and Eric as clueless parents who let their rebellious daughter Melody get mixed up with a sea witch — like mother, like daughter.
'Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure' (2001)
One would think the folks at the House of Mouse would have learned something after the unwanted second helping of "The Little Mermaid." Nearly 50 — yes, 50 — years after "Lady and the Tramp" hit theaters, "Scamp's Adventure" went straight to store shelves.
Boasting the voice talents of Scott Wolf and Alyssa Milano, this heartless tale failed to capture even the slightest bit of charm of the original — let alone the infamous "spaghetti kiss" scene.
'Return to Never Land' (2002)
Haven't we seen this story before? Because "Hook" wasn't enough, Disney decided to release its own take on what would happen if Peter Pan returned to Never Land. Unlike the memorable Robin Williams/Dustin Hoffman matchup, however, "Return to Never Land" conjured up more yawns than actual pixie dust.
'The Hunchback of Notre Dame II' (2002)
Because every other Disney franchise scored a sequel or two, it was only fair to give "Hunchback of Notre Dame" fans a follow-up, too. But despite an impressive cast list (including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Demi Moore), this installment was fairly forgettable.
'Cinderella III: A Twist in Time' (2007)
Ever wonder what would happen if Cinderella's fairy godmother had never given her those fateful glass slippers? Yeah, neither did we.
While "Cinderella III: A Twist in Time" boasts an "It's a Wonderful Life" vibe (i.e., alternative universes, "what if" scenarios, etc.), the sequel not only scuffs Cinderella's signature shoes — but the fairy-tale franchise in general.
'Cars 2' (2011)
When "Cars" raced into theaters in 2006, audiences became enamored with speedster Lightning McQueen. But that love affair was soon cut short following the release of "Cars 2" five years later. With Lightning's pal Mater in the driver's seat (literally), the film was on a crash course for disaster from the very start.

Hit squads of debt collectors are being sent into hospitals to get money from health tourists
Jeremy Hunt is toughening up the NHS stance after a report reveals it fails to get back the millions of pounds it spends on treating overseas patients
DEBT collectors will be sent into hospitals to get payment from health tourists as the NHS is failing to get back millions of pounds it spends on treating overseas patients.
A damning report by the National Audit Office (NAO) reveals NHS Trusts collected just £255million of at least £500million it spent treating foreign patients last year.
The failure to collect the cash is partly because half of doctors and a quarter of nurses do not think it is their duty to ensure overseas visitors are charged.
And the NAO reveals eight of England's specialist and acute NHS trusts failed to collect payment from a single overseas patient who received free treatment, to which they were not entitled.
The Daily Telegraph reports "debt collectors" will be sent into such trusts as part of a Government crackdown.
At the moment overseas patients are only charged for non-urgent care and ministers want to take the charging much further.
They are proposing to start charging overseas patients who use accident & emergency departments, ambulance services, maternity units and GPs.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he is determined to ensure the NHS was not "abused".
He said: "We consulted earlier this year on extending the charging of migrants and visitors using the NHS to other areas of healthcare.
"We will set out further steps in due course to ensure we deliver on our objective to recover £500million a year by the middle of this Parliament."
And the head of the NAO Amyas Morse said: "Hospital trusts remain some way from complying in full with the requirement to charge and recover the cost of treating overseas visitors."
The Government introduced measures two years ago to get the money back from overseas patients who are not entitled to free care.

THERE'S A RAT IN ME STITCHIN'NHS makes 5,000 pest control call-outs a year as hospitals battle rodent and maggot invasions
A target of getting £500million back by 2017-2018 was set but the NAO report says last year the NHS did not even manage to get half of that.
Health services tried to charge £289million for such costs and only managed to get back £255million of this.
The NAO report said the NHS will miss the £500m target for 2017-2018 by more than £150million.
To try and stop this happening squads of specialist accountants, former doctors and managers will be sent into NHS hospitals.
Their job will be to make them better at identifying patients who should be paying for treatment and getting money from them.
One hospital trying to crackdown is St George's in Tooting, south London, where the maternity unit was used by around 900 pregnant health tourists last year – with deliveries from non-EU women making up a fifth of all births.
It is now running a Home Office pilot scheme where the mums have to hand over their passports before they give birth.
Under the new "debt collector" system the NHS has three sets of charges.
It should get money back from EU countries for patients who live in the European Economic Area (EEA) – just as the other countries charge Britain when we are treated abroad.
As well as this it is supposed to charge all visitors from outside the EEA.
And last year it introduced a surcharge which charges £200 a year to students and temporary migrants for healthcare.
An NHS Improvement spokesman said: "At a time when the NHS faces tough financial challenges, we want to support trusts ensure that those who must pay for the treatment they receive do so.
"We are working to identify those within the NHS who have real experience and skills in this area, and putting them into teams to offer additional support to some of our trusts in areas with high numbers of overseas visitors."

Research Master's Psychology
Apply between 1 October 2019 and 1 March 2020 (for enrolment in September 2020)
It may take a couple of days to complete all steps of the application procedure, so make sure to start your application well in time.
Note: you may apply before finishing your Bachelor's programme. However, you must obtain your Bachelor's degree and show us a valid proof of graduation by 31 August 2020.
The Board of Admission carefully considers all applicants on their individual merits. In addition to reviewing study records, and information with regards to academic achievement, the Board of Admission looks for motivation, an active interest in research, evidence of strong scientific writing skills, commitment, potential for growth and likelihood of finishing the programme in two years.
The Psychology Research Master's is a selective programme. In case the number of candidates exceeds the number of places in the programme, students will be ranked based on their study results and motivation; admission will be decided by drawing lots for equally ranked candidates.
Applicants should have at least a Bachelor's degree (equivalent to at least three years of Dutch academic training) or an equivalent degree in a field relevant to the research master's programme in Psychology. Education systems vary considerably across the world; some bachelor's degrees are valued at three years of a Dutch university education, while others are valued at two years or less.
The minimum entry level for the research master's programme in Psychology is three years of Dutch university education. Students with a bachelor's degree in other disciplines than Psychology can apply for admission to the research master's programme, but they should have at least general knowledge of Psychology and its subdisciplines, as well as knowledge of statistics and methodology. Applicants should also have experience with the topic of specialization in the master's programme.
Experience with setting up, conducting and reporting experimental research is necessary.
The Research Master's Psychology programme at the University of Amsterdam is firmly embedded in experimental psychology. Over a two-year period, students complete advanced courses on research methods and statistics. Because these are advanced courses, we expect our students to have sufficient statistical skills and methodological knowledge.The book that reflects the level of statistical knowledge that is needed is:
Agresti & Franklin, Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data.
You can make this test to find out whether you possess skills and knowledge required to follow our advanced research methods and statistics courses. The 20 questions in this test are based on the book "Statistics: the art and science of learning from data" by Agresti & Franklin (2012).
The results of this test will in no way affect the selection of students for our Research Master. The test is purely designed to give students insight in the skills and knowledge required to successfully follow our advanced methods and statistics courses.
For this master's programme we're aiming at the top 10% students. If you wish to apply for the research master's programme in Psychology you are expected to have an overall grade point average (GPA) of at least:
However, admission will not be granted based on a sufficient grade point average only, our decision is based on academic level and background (esnuring that applicants have an adequate background in psychology, methods and statistics and advanced knowledge in their chosen major); motivation, experience in psychological research, level of scientific writing skills and grade point average. Across the different groups of courses (i.e. basic knowledge, methods & statistics and advanced knowledge) a GPA of 7.5 is also required.
International candidates who are non-native English speakers are required to submit official English proficiency test scores.
Before you can apply to the UvA, you will need to submit an enrolment application in Studielink. Studielink is the national online system for students who would like to pursue a degree programme at a Dutch university.
A DigiD (Digital Identification) is an online ID (username and password) that provides access to government administration websites.
When submitting your enrolment application, choose 'WO master' Psychology (Research).
Before starting your enrolment application in Studielink, read the 'Step-by-step guide to Studielink'.
After submitting your enrolment application in Studielink, you will receive an email with your UvAnetID. Follow the instructions in the email to activate your ID as you will need it to complete your UvA application.
After you have registered in Studielink, you will receive an email (within a few days) from the Central Student Administration with a link to our online application system: MyInfo. This is where you will submit your application to the University of Amsterdam. During your application via MyInfo you will be asked to upload documents, see 6 'upload required documents'.
Students who apply on basis of a non-EU Bachelor's degree will be asked to pay 100 EUR application fee. Foreign degree certificates are always sent to the Deans of the University of Amsterdam for a credential evaluation first. The deans compare diplomas in terms of equivalence to Dutch academic training. After they have given their advice, our admissions committee looks at the (amount of) psychology courses in the candidate's academic training. Education systems vary considerably across the world; some bachelor's degrees are valued at three years of a Dutch university education, while others are valued at two years or less.
Students who have been accepted and have a full enrolment on 1 October can ask for a refund of the application fee.

As social media sites go, Twitter gets a bad rap. Between the celebrity fights and the politics, it can be a little intimidating to get onto Twitter, especially for a business. There's no reason to fear the little blue bird, though.
Twitter is all about keeping it short and sweet. Tweets can only be 140 characters. This might cut some of our ramblers down, but for the majority of businesses, this shorter message is a good thing. Like Facebook, pictures and videos are encouraged, so that followers get a rounded view of your and your business.
Unlike most other social media sites, more information on Twitter is a good thing. It's actually hard to spam on Twitter (it's not impossible, though: there are businesses who pull of spam here, too). The reason for this is because the messages are short, your followers are able to get lots of information in bite-size bits, making it easier to swallow.
In fact, most people expect more information from companies on Twitter. Twitters _________ faithful tweeters have come to learn that more tweets are a good thing, especially from businesses they're interested in. More is better…here.
The other thing that makes unique is that, unlike most other social media platforms, Twitter is actually more about words than pictures. Sure, there are lots of pictures floating around Twitter, but the majority of tweets are opinions, facts, tips, and other sentences, image-free. This is great for businesses, because there always seems to be an abundance of literature and a lack of images.
Twitter is incredibly interactive, which means that there will also be a lot of liking and retweeting. Never fear! Retweeting simply means that you're involved in your community or in key issues that your business represents. For example: if you're in the solar industry, and you retweet about energy-saving measures in another country, that's great! You're showing your following that not only are you the expert in your field, here, but you also care about what's happening in your field abroad. It might not be anything that directly involves you, but it is something that involves the solar industry, and that's what makes it interesting. The people following you on Twitter will find it interesting, too. It starts a conversation, and that's the key of social media.

Even a hint of political apathy is enough to crash investment.
Clean energy investment falls back to 2016 levels amid policy uncertainty
Katharine Murphy Political editor
Wed 11 Sep 2019 04.00 AEST
The recent record investment in renewable energy is showing signs of slowing dramatically, the Clean Energy Council warns
A new snapshot of Australia's clean energy sector warns new investment committed in the first half of 2019 has fallen back to 2016 levels, when Tony Abbott invited an investment strike when he tried to abolish the renewable energy target.
While the Morrison government has been trumpeting record recent investment in renewable energy to rebut persistent arguments the Coalition lacks ambition on climate policy, an assessment of the investment outlook prepared by the Clean Energy Council, to be released on Wednesday, warns the positive trend is in danger of abrupt reversal because of the ongoing lack of policy certainty.

It was just one year ago that Yankees GM Brian Cashman told reporters that Didi Gregorius needed Tommy John Surgery. Fast forward to Thursday's end-of-season news conference, he deliver the same news -- this time regarding Aaron Hicks.
Hicks needs the surgery to repair a torn UCL in his throwing elbow, and he'll need about 8-10 months to recover. That means the Yankees will need to prepare without Hicks for a good chunk of the first half of the new season.
So who should fill in his center field role in the meantime?
Brett Gardner would be the obvious choice -- if he was under contract. The 36-year-old is an unrestricted free agent, and after this announcement, it would make sense for Cashman to negotiate another short-term deal with him.
But Cashman won't be making any comments about free agency at the moment. The Yankees will begin their offseason planning next week to see what direction they want to go in regarding tweaks to their 25-man roster for next season.
"We'll see," Cashman said when asked if he'll look into free agency to add Hicks' replacement. "Our pro scouting meetings start Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. Obviously you know our current outfield alignment that we have that doesn't include free agency, you know what the depth happens to be and obviously it's an area we're going to have to evaluate and discuss and factor in. But I don't have any answers to that specific question."
Looking at the current roster, Mike Tauchman would be the favorite to replace Hicks. He was one of those solid replacement Yankees this season, slashing .277/.361/.504 with 13 homers and 47 RBI over 87 games. He suffered an injury before the end of the season, but was actually 100 percent healthy during the ALCS and could have been an option.
Clint Frazier is also someone that comes to mind, especially with his power bat in the lineup every night. But the Yankees would need to be certain his shaky glove from this season can be trusted enough on a regular basis.
Both of these options, though, don't compare to the years of experience Gardner has manning center field for the Bombers. And he had arguably his best season in 2019 after hitting .251/.325/.503 with a career-high 28 homers and 74 RBI.
Cashman also gave him a stamp of approval as someone who could be that centerfielder for his club. He just couldn't unveil that is what he's thinking of pursuing.
"In terms of Brett Gardner, I don't think there's any question about what his capabilities are," Cashman said. "He had a tremendous season, both sides of the ball, offensively and defensively including playing center field. Obviously he's a free agent. I guess the main question is can he handle playing center field in 2020 both offensively and defensively? I don't think there's any question based on the performance he must forward this year and next year."
This past offseason, Cashman brought back the longest-tenured Yankee on a one-year, $7.5 million deal. He could likely replicate that deal with maybe a little more money to match his production from this season. It would be the smartest move, as Gardner could certainly find playing time if/when Hicks returns.
Also another name to consider: Cameron Maybin made more than a solid impression on the Yankees. He was a one-year rental for the Yanks as well, but was a great presence on and off the field while producing a .285 average with 11 homers (career high) and 32 RBI over 82 games.
But the path should lead back to Gardner, whose veteran presence in the clubhouse as well as his heart and hustle on the field have been valuable for this franchise since 2008.

Neustar, a provider of real-time cyber-security information, has released its research on DDoS attacks in the EMEA. The findings come as part of Neustar's larger report on DDoS attacks, titled "North America and EMEA: The Continual Threat to Digital Brands for 2015", for which they surveyed 800 executives from around the world in the financial, retail and technology sectors.
One of the report's main revelations is how DDoS attacks are becoming smaller but more frequent, in an effort to distract IT security teams while malware is installed on the target's system.
Nearly half – 40 percent – of reported DDoS attacks were less than five gigabits per second (Gbps), a relatively small attack, and 36 percent of firms surveyed found that malware had been installed on their systems after DDoS attacks.
Mark Tonneson, CSO and CIO of Neustar, remarked on this tactical shift: "In launching such an attack, the attacker accomplishes several things: he disrupts operations, distracts the website and security teams, and makes sure the target network is still operational - that is to say, accessible." Tonneson added, "Now the attacker can go in and plant malware or a virus, setting the stage for data theft, siphoning funds, or whatever else."
The financial services sector has been disproportionately hit with this tactic - 54 percent of attacks on financial services companies were less than five Gbps but nearly half of all attacks left viruses or malware.
Hacker groups can even be rented to perform such attacks, according to the report, for less than four pounds a month.
Among the report's findings were not just that DDoS attacks are becoming smaller but also more common and, increasingly, that they are becoming a sustained threat to businesses' profitability; 25 percent of firms that had sustained DDoS attack found that data or funds had been stolen afterwards. What's more, 40 percent of companies surveyed said their losses during a peak hour DDoS attack would be greater than £75,000 per hour.
In response to these changing tactics, firms are stepping up their cyber-security capabilities: 55 percent of firms are devoting more resources to their DDoS security than last year

Trump supporter threatened Cruz, sources say
A death threat left on the voicemail of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has led to the arrest of a Universal City man.
The official allegedly targeted by James Amos Headley, 59, is not identified in court records, other than by the initials T.C., and prosecutors and the FBI won't name him. The Express-News confirmed it is Cruz through other sources.
"Pretty soon you're gonna be runnin for your life, just hope your family is not with ya because I'm not gonna insult them, I'm gonna kill them, right after I shoot you right in front of them..." court documents quote Headley as saying in a July 11 voicemail left at the official's office at the U.S. Capitol.
Agents quietly arrested Headley last week on a federal felony charge of threatening to assault and murder a public official with intent to impede, intimidate, and interfere with the official and his duties. Headley remains in jail, and his court hearing this week was postponed until next week.
The San Antonio Express-News confirmed through law enforcement sources and others sources familiar with the matter that Headley supports President Donald Trump and was upset with the Houston Republican's stance on a number of issues that don't align with Trump's views.
Messages seeking comment from Cruz were left via email and by phone Thursday.

Wage and hour laws are extremely important to employees. The take home pay of workers throughout the country is governed by these types of laws, and a simple mistake can result in a huge loss for employees.
Disney to pay employees back wages
It turns out even the happiest place on earth is susceptible to poor labor practices. Disney will be paying out $3.8 million in back wages to thousands of employees at the company's hotels, resorts and time shares in Florida.
Kay and Jared Jewelers accused of ongoing sexual harassment
We recently wrote about the importance of company culture in maintaining a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. In today's post, we discuss an example that illustrates this point.
What is a tip credit?
A tip credit allows an employer to pay an employee who receives tips less per hour, with the tips being used to make up the difference between the minimum wage and the employee's wage. The federal minimum wage is $7.25, but the federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13, meaning a $5.12 tip credit can make up the difference. If an employee doesn't reach $7.25 after tips, the employer is required to pay the difference.
New Yorkers have protections when reporting wage theft and other violations of the FLSA
Getting and keeping a good job is not always easy. That is why employees are often reluctant to come forward with information about their employers' unlawful business practices.
The importance of workplace culture
When an employee experiences discrimination or some other unlawful conduct at work, it's usually not because the employer is unaware of its obligations under the law. In fact, many employers have their own rules and policies prohibiting the same kinds of activity made illegal by federal, state and local laws.

April 14, 1978
Release #78-021
WASHINGTON, DC (April 14) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today warned the public not to use certain unguarded automatic baseball pitching machines which it considers extremely hazardous.
The Commission advises anyone having possession of such unguarded machines to place these machines in a locked storage area where unwary persons will not have access to them.
The machines, which were sold to schools, recreational organizations and individuals, may be labeled "Dudley" or "Commercial Mechanisms."
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, the Commission alleges that the unguarded, rotating metal pitching arm can go off suddenly, without warning, and strike persons standing in the path of the arm. The Commission alleges that this has happened in numerous incidents even though the machines were unplugged or turned off.
Everyone should be careful of pitched balls. However, the hazard addressed in this action relates to the unguarded arm.
The Commission has received numerous reports of serious injuries -- including paralysis, skull fractures, brain damage, loss of sight, and other severe injuries such as broken bones -- suffered by persons hit by the pitching arm. In one reported incident, a nine-year-old boy was left a permanent paraplegic as a result of being hit in the head by the pitching machine. According to reports received by the Commission: baseball coaches, high school students, "Little League" instructors, and even small children who have come up to the machine just to look at it, have been seriously injured.
These reported injuries have occurred on school grounds, in city parks, and at private homes.
Reportedly, about 7,500 of the baseball pitching machines were manufactured between 1956 and 1975 and distributed nationwide. The majority of the owners appear to be institutions such as schools and "Little League" teams, but some machines are privately-owned. The machines were sold under various brand names including: "Olympia, " "Olympic," "Champ," "Blazer," "Super Blazer," "Pro-Blazer," "Range Blazer, " "Range, " "Master," "Mentor," "Pro-Trainer," and "Professional."
The pitching machines are operated by electricity or gasoline engine. Even when the machine is turned off or unplugged, however, if the pitching arm is cocked in approximately the "10 o'clock position," the machine can fire if jarred or subjected to vibration. Consequently, the Commission warns that the machines should be locked up to prevent accidents and should never be left in areas where children can reach them. Before locking up the machine, CPSC advises that the pitching arm cable be disconnected carefully from the coil spring.
The Commission has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to compel the manufacturer and distributors of the machines to provide a guard for the pitching arm at no cost to the purchaser. Without such a guard, the Commission warns, the machines are dangerous and may cause severe injury. The Commission urges people not to use these machines.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

On Thursday the U12 team played in a mini 7 a-side tournament at Manor Academy – they played really well and their skills are developing all the time. They narrowly lost 2 matches, 2-0 against Fulford and 1-0 against Archbishop's but they had a fantastic 1-0 win against Manor (Aria scored).
On Saturday, the U18 team played a team from St Peter's – a brilliant game, full of skill and attacking play by both teams. The game was 2-2 for a long period but St Peter's scored two very quick goals to end up winning 4-2.

text: Can you imagine a world where the Internet has become widely available, and the cost of connecting decreased considerably? It sounds familiar, right? Welcome to the 21st century! In fact, the Internet has truly revolutionised the way we live, connect and work. But how had it changed day-to-day objects? The Internet of Things (IoT) is a current headline and topic amongst anyone interested in connectivity and smart technologies. The concept beyond IoT appeared in 1989, with the first Internet-connected toaster. Nowadays, all these connected "things" are like drinking water: natural and non-surprising. Simply explained, the IoT concept is the ability to connect any device to the Internet (and to each other). We have been creating more and more devices with Wi-Fi or other types of connectivity, and sensors built into them, the costs of the technology have been decreasing, and smartphone penetration is skyrocketing! It is literally in everybody's hands (or fingers) the capability to switch any "thing" on or off (the tools used to read and actuate from/on the IoT devices). Experts call the devices as "things" because almost anything around us can now connect to the Internet, whether it is a heart monitor (linked to someone's heart), a biochip transponder (controlling a farm animal) or traffic sensors (communicating with a vehicle). Imagine one day your alarm clock connected to your coffee maker, and at the moment the alarm sounds, the latter automatically starts making coffee. Or suppose your car tracks an accident and recommends a new route to your office so that you don't arrive late. Amazing, right? That's the philosophy of IoT – "Anything that can be connected will be connected". FIWARE, an open-source, Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem wants to become the core infrastructure that will empower connected devices and cities. FIWARE is a partner of the EMBERS project, and has recently posted an interesting infographic about how everyday routines can improve with technology, data storage and reporting: Aligned with sustainable goals, FIWARE wants to support smart cities infrastructures, enable intelligent factories and precision agriculture, as well as helping entrepreneurs to carve out viable market share in a connected, IoT-enabled world. According to the well-known consultant Gartner, in 2020 more than 26 billion devices will be linked. BEST 1MORE HEADPHONE. These are exciting news since most devices can help intensify the so-called smart cities, transportation networks which can reduce waste and improve efficiency for things such as energy use. With technology as the greatest support for IoT, there are still some challenges and concerns related to this topic. The first one is security – how can people protect their privacy? How much is too much information? Can someone hack someone's toaster and then get access to valuable and private information? Another primary concern relates to tracking all the data generated by all devices. We're talking about a massive amount of data to be stored and analysed. Are all machines, and even us, capable of understanding all these "things" connected? Of course! Contact us to get to know our solutions for connected devices and real-time information. We hope you've enjoyed this post.

Powering in from above ahead of the launch of the Beyond the Gates of Antares boxed game (yes, there is a rumour that there may be a special launch edition…) are the fearsome and well armed Concord C3 Drop Squad the elite units of the Concord Combined Command!
Drop troops are the most heavily armoured and armed of the Concord Combined Command's Strike forces. Their role is to spearhead assaults onto enemy held planets, and capture and hold objectives without the support of conventional heavy equipment.
For this reason Drop Squads are heavily armed with powerful plasma weaponry including the ferocious plasma lance, capable of destroying even heavily armoured targets.
Comparing the Drop Trooper to the standard strike armour you can see how the heavier plates make the Drop Squad stand out as your elite on the battlefield.
The fantastic armour detail and the intricacy of their jet packs really makes these troopers a must for any Concord commander.
Add the new Drop Squad to your Concord Strike Force Starter Army and prepare for combat!
The 'Concord Strike Force Starter Army Deal' contains everything you need to get started with the core of your collection:
- 1 x Command Squad: Strike Commander, 2 Strike Troopers, Spotter
- 1 x C3 Strike Squad firing: Strike Leader, 4 Strike Troopers, Spotter
- 1 x C3 Strike Squad advancing: Strike Leader, 4 Strike Troopers, Spotter
- 1 x C3 Support Team with X-Launcher: 2 Strike Trooper crew, Spotter
- 1 x C3 Support Drone with Plasma Light Support: Weapon Drone, Spotter
- 1 x C3 Targetter Probes
- 6 x Olive Green order dice
This provides you with a strong, balanced force to start exploring the Gates of Antares. Of course, there will be more to come for the Concord in the future like the C3 Interceptor, so you'll find plenty more variety to add to this core force.

The NHS Digital Data Security Awareness Level 1 training has been archived and replaced with a new version of the training.
The Data Security Awareness Level 1 session now meets the statutory and mandatory training requirements and learning outcomes for Information Governance (IG) in the UK Core Skills Training Framework (UK CSTF) as updated in May 2018, to include General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
This session is also aligned to the new data security standards that came out of the National Data Guardian's 2016 review. It therefore meets the requirement for Level 1 staff training in data security.
An eAssessment should be completed to demonstrate the required knowledge and understanding and to complete the training.
The previous course will remain accessible within an archive folder until 31 March 2019 enabling users and local administrators to access historic certificates and report on learning history to support your Data Security and Protection Toolkit 2018/19 submissions.
A separate Data Security Awareness Survey is also available alongside the new course. This survey has been developed by NHS Digital to assist organisations in understanding the data security awareness of its staff. Local administrators will have access to a report detailing the outcomes of the survey to facilitate IG Toolkit submissions.
NHS Digital has been providing accredited training to IT and security professionals across health and care to build local capability in security best-practice. Training has been piloted with over 300 professionals with positive feedback.
NHS Digital intends to continue providing accredited security training to relevant staff across the sector and is commencing engagement activity to understand security skill and education needs to shape the future provision of training. This will provide opportunities for IT and security staff across health and care to undertake professional accredited training wherever possible, ensuring that organisations have suitably skilled operational staff to improve security control and preparedness. Any future correspondence will be to named IT and security leads from the NHS Digital Data Security Centre. If you are interested in receiving any future training please contact email@example.com.
NHS Digital are currently piloting the provision of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)-accredited cyber and information security awareness sessions with NHS Boards. A decision has not yet been made on a future rollout, but if you are interested in your Board receiving this training, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am so proud to announce my results for the recent Image Competition for the Professional Photographers of Canada. Three of my images have been accepted into the show and I received the award for Best in Class – Child Portrait for my image titled "No One to Play With." This is my first national award and it was totally unexpected!
"No One to Play With" was captured as part of a Child Study I was doing of my nephew. These types of sessions are more in depth than a standard child portrait and involve really getting to know the child. The goal was to capture his unique personality, highlight his interests and catch a glimpse of his soul. This was truly an award that Mason and I won, together.
To book a Child Study session for a special child in your life, contact me here.
The second image accepted into the salon is "Urban Chic," a portrait of country music singer Brooklyn Roebuck. Brooklyn performed at an event that I co-organized, in support of the London Anti-Bullying Coalition and this image was originally published in the event program.
"Angel," which was created as part of my new be.Tween Project is my third accepted image. This project is geared toward tween girls (aged 10-12) and highlights who they are at this moment. The main goal is to help girls to feel strong, confident and celebrated.
For more information on how to participate in the be.Tween Project, visit our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/betweenproject/.

London Road has had a bit of a revival over the last year or so, with many quality coffee houses opening within the last year. One of the hidden gems of the area is Phoenix Coffee House, serving locally roasted beans from Lazy Dog Coffee Roasters. We tried their Mellow Lazy Dog Blend, containing a mix of Mexican Finca La Laja and a Peruvian SHG, which was initially chocolatey making way for a nutty aftertaste, with a smooth, balanced mouthfeel.
Phoenix Coffee House has a rustic, retro feel, with old video game consoles sitting atop vintage wooden furniture. As we entered there was a couple playing Tony Hawk's on the PS2 and the owner Martin was busy making homemade sausage rolls behind the counter. As well as the homemade cakes and snacks, freshly made sandwiches, wraps, and baguettes are available.
If you have a love for coffee, homemade food, and great games, Phoenix Coffee House is a must visit.

Bernie Marcus for President! He made CNBS watchable this morning. Get the clip if you can.
Not triple but quadruple witching Friday. Yeeehaw! Its all about the Fed. Minis were up as high as 32 last night opening up a whole new realm of price possibilities to the upside. After they remained relatively range bound and significantly under priced compared to cash (IMO) they have now leapfrogged back into the lead. Price continues to consolidate in the wedge and eerily fractals to the rise in July.
Minis 60m for a closer look at the wedge that has now met the triple top and taken out prior highs. Price consolidation to resistance is very apparent. Keep your eye on that gap at 08 and the 60m 200ma.
It looks like the wedge has definitively been busted this time as price consolidates under resistance. I am still voting for the ABC to higher highs. It could have one last pop today but does not look like it at this time, but it won't be much. Down to 92/80 range then the final pop to keep it elevated for the elections as POMO plays out. If that is wrong, it just crashes from here. Be patient. Look closely at the form of the fall. That will be key. How impulsive it is will be the tell.
They have the market right where they want it. Don't think for one minute they don't know where it will close today. I'm betting flat if the candles are anything like they were at the top in early August we may get a big down move only to recover to close at even. If the minis take out 19 it could get interesting. That gap at 08 could be in play.
GL and have a great weekend. Thanks for all your views, donations and support.

Let me start by sharing that I was in contention to be one of The Biggest Loser's first season's personal trainers. That's right, I went through several levels of interviews, and did not make the final cut. I was lucky in a sense, because I daresay I would have quit if I had made it into the trainer stable. I don't do shows that risk the health of patrticipants, and have turned down other similar projects.
It was obvious to me after watching the first season, that despite the occasional on-air presence of a physician, the show was dabbling in dangerous diet and fitness protocols. And though very low-calorie diets have a role in morbid obesity, reversing it's effects do not go hand-in-hand with endless hours of daily training. Also quite clear is that most entertainment health shows are not out to save people - they are out to garner viewers, get huge ratings, and offer major financial payoffs for networks and advertisers. Any serious health show that I'm aware of, like one recently hosted by Sanjay Gupta, typically get cancelled because viewers find real health news boring.
We all want to see a good show. Especially when the stakes are radical body makeovers in relatively short periods of time, with a big fat dollar prize at the end. Weight loss that literally transforms the person, tears and torture, serves a big payoff that can make a difference in a person's quality of life that all makes for great TV.
So I have to believe that a recent Biggest Loser's confession that was covered in the New York Post, Secrets Behind the Biggest Loser, Sunday edition (Jan. 18), is really no surprise and offers no secrets. Just how do you think people lose 17 pounds in a week? How do you think they lose 100 pounds in just months? It's not by exercising an hour a day most days of the week and eating a well-balanced 1500 calorie diet Though a lot more agony may be kept behind the scenes, people still tune in to watch the torture others are going through. Maybe you identify with the back stories, especially sad stories. Maybe you have even had their same excuses, and frankly, dreamt that this could be you someday.
Some facts to consider:
- Fat-shaming happens in the real world and it is probably a big weight-loss motivator behind the scenes on The Biggest Loser.
- The fitness regimens that start on day one on the show may indeed pose huge health risks for the contestants. Some health experts just juxtapose that danger to the choice of remaining morbidly obese and the dangers that persistent excess weight poses.
- Very low-calorie diets have been used for years as part of the treatment plan for morbidly obese patients. The key is that the patients are monitored closely, supported by a team of health practitioners, and yes, the rate of weight re-gain is quite high.
- Contestants knowingly sign disclaimers. These have been around a long time in the world of entertainment, and play a big role in shows that offer risks, especially health and bodily harm risks.
- The show would not have sustained itself if viewers were not transfixed with the model of the show - contestants losing large amounts of weight quickly. The onyl way to reduce harm to contestants is to stop watching.
- Many obese individuals want a fast way to lose weight, they want it on someone else's dime, and so they're willing to ignore sensibilities and sign non-disclosure because they are truly desperate. Nearly 200,000 people apply to audition every season.
Kai Hibbard, who was the Biggest Loser participant interviewed by the New York Post reporter, describes brutal workouts, contestants who became dangerously ill, and unrelenting seclusion to keep show secrets intact. Diets were often filled with processed low calorie "crap," with a calorie count oftentimes under 1000 calories/day. She also describes fat-shaming, harassment, bullying and brutal comments meant to keep participants in line, residual injuries after months of extreme workouts, and severe emotional fatigue and pain.
I'm not surprised, I'm not shocked, and news flash - that's what makes it such a compelling show! The worst part is that I think most of the contestants immediately gain back some weight because they simply can't sustain the irrational weight goal that is set. Many of them even gain back all the weight and more. Only a few contestants "get the money," and even they don't keep the weight off. Yes, most of them do learn some valuable fitness and nutrition lessons that they might otherwise have not learned. But the failure to sustain the weight loss is due to the same daunting reasons most of us can't sustain our weight loss:
- We get cocky and believe we are cured.
- We believe exercise will counterbalance over-eating.
- We develop an "all or nothing" attitude and abandon the exercise and/or the diet because it is too extreme.
- We don't do the emotional work necessary to help limit emotional and stress eating.
- We decide we don't have the time, money or energy to maintain the lifestyle change long-term.
- We don't believe that obesity will kill us, so we allow all the other important tasks to get in the way of a commitment to our health. We make excuses.
You have to decide to turn off fantasy TV and seek a personal solution if you are obese or overweight. Most of the viable solutions are not sexy, exciting, or quick. Make a New Year's resolution to take charge of your health and to lose weight by meeting with a health professional and creating a long term plan. But do it right this time. Or, you can keep watching The Biggest Loser and dreaming.

James 1:1-8
How would you currently characterize your faith? Is it up one day, down the next? The short book of James contains practical advice for those whose faith fluctuates because of difficult circumstances. When we start doubting God and His Word, we're driven and tossed about like the surf of the sea.
James says a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. To be double-minded is to go back and forth in our thinking. We may begin with strong confidence in God, but as time goes by and the difficult situation continues, we may start to doubt that the Lord will do what He's promised.
Doubting and questioning are not necessarily the same thing. Questioning is seeking to gain further information in order to better understand what God has said. Doubting, on the other hand, involves believing what…

What Do You Get When You Combine MX Synth Features And Real Piano Feel?
By HC News |
Yamaha Expands MX Series with 88-Key, Weighted-Action MX88, Combining Synth Features and Real Piano Feel
BUENA PARK, Calif. (April 20, 2017) – Yamaha today announced the MX88, the latest addition to its popular MX line of synthesizers for stage and studio.
Equipped with 88 weighted keys, the MX88 represents the logical extension of the MX line, known for its high-quality instrument and synth sounds, deep computer and iOS integration, and with this introduction, a full-size keyboard featuring realistic piano action.
Connection to both Windows and Mac computers is a breeze, thanks to a class-compliant, bi-directional USB audio/MIDI interface. Players can record the keyboard's superb internal sounds into a computer-based DAW and monitor the computer's output through the keyboard's ¼" audio outputs or headphone jack.
The comprehensive sound collection of the MX88 is based on the legendary Yamaha Motif sound engine, and contains everything from synthesizer leads, pads and more to authentic acoustic instrument sounds. The realistic Concert Grand Piano sound has been optimized for the MX88 keyboard to provide the highest level of expression.
"The MX88 will appeal to players who need the touch and feel of a real piano with 88 weighted-action keys," said Nate Tschetter, product marketing manager, Music Production, Yamaha Corporation of America. "Now, any keyboardist can take advantage of the computer and iOS integration and superb Motif sound that distinguish the MX line in the market. And like the MX49/61 BK/BU, MX88 unlocks FM Essential – a free FM synthesizer iOS app. This provides the great sounds inside MX88 along with the pure FM synthesis Yamaha made famous."
Other key features on the MX88 include:
• A full selection of VCM effects
• Easy Split/Layer Performance Mode
• 16-part Multi timbral operation and 128-note polyphony
• Extensive hands-on control for VSTs and DAWs

A major challenge for myelinating glial cells is the temporal and spatial orchestration of myelin membrane biosynthesis and traffic to control the directed growth of the emerging myelin sheath. The cellular process of myelin formation during development is not understood and so is the question, why remyelination in certain pathological conditions of the CNS (such as multiple sclerosis) is blocked or insufficient. We are studying myelin membrane sorting and transport, deciphering the oligodendroglial membrane trafficking pathways involved in myelination and exploring their regulation. We aim to improve the understanding of myelin disease pathomechanisms and to identify new therapeutic targets. Specific topics are:
a) The role of endocytic sorting and recycling in myelin membrane morphogenesis. (See Winterstein et al., 2008)
b) Identification of SNARE proteins controlling specific fusion steps in the myelin transport pathway and myelin membrane extension. (See Feldmann et al., 2009)
c) Cell signalling mechanisms and regulating myelin membrane traffic.
d) Misregulation of myelin protein trafficking as a trigger of pathology in myelin disease.
European Leukodystrophy association (Project "Analysis of myelin membrane trafficking pathways in PLP-related disorders" 2005-2006, University of Mainz (Forschungsfond 2005, Forschungsförderung Stufe 1 2009-2010)
a) Endocytosis
Myelin proteins undergo distinct endocytic sorting and recycling. A shows endocytosed PLP (red) and MAG (green) and their targeting to the same endocytic compartment (yellow). Recycling of these proteins is associated with their appearance in membrane domains of distinct biochemical composition (see Winterstein et al. 2009 and White et al. 2009)
b) SNARE Proteins
We have analysed the expression profile, subcellular localisation and function of SNARE proteins in oligodendroglial cells (see Feldmann et al. 2009, 2011).
