Profile: Neil Grainger
As far as Neil Grainger is concerned, he is the luckiest man alive.
On New Year's Eve 2011, he went down to his local pub with girlfriend Zoe, slightly despondent that Hebburn, a TV pilot he'd taken part in two months earlier, looked dead in the water.
The pilot itself, written by comedian Jason Cook, couldn't have gone any better. One of six shows presented at the Salford Sitcom Showcase last October – including BBC One's contentious Asian sitcom Citizen Khan – Hebburn was dubbed an affectionate tale of North East family life. Grainger, a 'serious' actor by trade, played the character of Gervaise, a slimy yet somehow charming pub-singer from Hebburn – and love interest to Vicki Pearson. Think Jerry St. Clair, with a dash of David Brent.
"The Salford Sitcom Showcase was just an amazing experience," says Grainger. "We had such a good time, but at the same time we didn't want to get too excited; because in hindsight we were all very afraid about how much the show could change if it got commissioned – and whether we'd still be a part of that."
A week later, Citizen Khan was given the green light for a full series on BBC One, and the excitement faded even more. "It knocked the stuffing out of us," he confesses. "Everyone just went, 'Oh, maybe Hebburn hasn't got legs after all then.' So we waited, and I stayed in touch with everyone as much as I could. I think we all had a bit of a hangover for about a month afterwards about the show coming to an end."
Then, ten days after his mope in a Chiswick pub on New Year's Eve, Grainger got a phone call. Hebburn had been commissioned too.
"When Jason rang me to let me know I was terrified," admits Grainger. "It's just a dream-come-true job, and such is my nature that in my head I was already re-casting the role to other people. I said to Jason, 'Am I still going to be in this?' To be honest, until the contracts were signed I still didn't dare get my hopes up."
A dream come true indeed. Landing a regular role in one of the BBC's most successful sitcoms in recent times must have felt light-years away for the teenage Neil Grainger, who only really joined his local drama society to "chat up a girl called Ruth."
Born in Middlesbrough in 1979, Grainger joined the amateur dramatics group at Middlesbrough Juniors when he was 13, and quickly began to discover the different lives you can have in the North East. By his own admission, he wasn't a particularly sporty lad, so actively looked for another area he could excel in. Drama and theatre felt right.
At 16, he attended Stockton and Billingham College, where he worked with Wildcats of Kilkenny frontman Mike McGrother and founder of the Stockton Youth Theatre, Gordon Steel. "They ran a really brilliant course which let you personally develop and try out ideas to see what you really wanted to do. Lots of people decided on stage management and stuff like that, but I always wanted to act.
"So I applied to universities to do acting. I was terrified of applying to drama schools; I hadn't really any notion of what they were looking for. I looked at television and saw lots of well spoken, beautiful people and naively thought, 'I'm not going to get into acting school being from Middlesbrough.'"
After college, Grainger left the North East to study at Middlesex University, taking part in Edinburgh Fringe theatre productions while completing his course. He graduated in 2000, found himself an agent in London and landed his first big acting role in ITV soap opera Crossroads. "I was doing a play in Sheffield with the National Theatre and a couple of people who were in it were in Crossroads. A part come up, so I got in touch with my agent, auditioned on the Monday, on Tuesday I signed a three year contract and I started work on the Wednesday morning."
The job was a baptism of fire for Grainger. "Phil Berry was an amazing character to play", he says, "but I joined the soap opera at a difficult time. Crossroads was going through some major cast changes, and I felt it didn't particularly have the backing from ITV."
He left the show after a year and a half, and found himself trying to earn a living in London. To pay the bills, he began doing voice-overs for computer games, documentaries on the National Geographic channel and even donned the black lycra suit for some motion capture work. "There are countless people I know who were 'soap stars' that are now trying and struggling to make ends meet," he says. "It's a false reality."
Then seven years ago, Neil decided he wanted to get into comedy.
"A few friends of mine were running a comedy club called Duke's Comedy Club in Putney, and they said: 'Listen, if you want to get involved you can help us run the night.' I started doing that, and then I sort of took over the reins, really. Comedy became a labour of love."
Tim Vine, Lee Mack and Stephen K Amos have all tried out new material at Duke's, something Grainger is clearly proud of. More recently, he helped programme a three-day comedy festival at the Old Vic Tunnels in London; in total over 80 acts played, including Patrick Monahan, Henning Wehn and Lucy Porter. A jack of all trades, Grainger has even tried his hand at stand-up himself, but admits the quality on offer at Duke's quickly passed him by…
"My delve into stand-up hadn't really got to the stage where I was saying the things I wanted to say. It was just a means to an end to get me on stage, working and developing my type of thing. In the beginning we were getting open spots that were worse than me, but gradually I was becoming the worst on the bill, so you just take yourself off. It's better to just have a really nice line-up – and everyone's happier that way."
Then last September, Hebburn arrived. Grainger's agent called to tell him about an audition for a part in a sitcom pilot written by Geordie comedian Jason Cook.
"I'd heard about Jason, but I hadn't watched a great deal, so I watched his spot on Russell Howard's Good News and I was just blown away. I was a bit overwhelmed when I first saw him live because he's just so relentless. I count Jason as a really good friend now, and he's such a giving person in a conversation – but there's a ruthlessness to him on stage that I really admire."
So desperate for a role in Hebburn, Grainger paid for his own train ticket for the 11 hour round trip to the North East. In the function room of Newcastle's Bridge Hotel, he auditioned for the male lead Jack Pearson in front of producer Ted Dowd and Cook himself – though he knew straight away he hadn't landed the role. "They were lovely, but you just know when you've not got a part. I was so disappointed; I'd come all the way from London and I was going home with nothing.
"Then Jason said, 'Do you want to read for the part of the pub-singer, Gervaise?' And to be honest, I hadn't read up on it. I'd only read Jack's bits, but I said, 'Yeah, okay. Give me some idea on the character.' And Jason said, 'Well, he's got one of those ridiculous voices, like…' So I tried a voice, and then suddenly Jason lept up from his chair and said: "That's it, that's it!"
"Normally you don't feel like you're allowed to explore anything in auditions, but he pushed me forward, and once I heard him laugh a few times I just went for it then. Everyone had the same experience with Jason. You could just see that he loved seeing you put yourself into the part, and I think that's such a rarity from a stand-up of his kind of ilk; to allow other people to take over and be funny…"
It was by far the best audition he had ever had, and Cook obviously thought so too. He was adamant that Grainger was the best fit for the character – and immediately began writing 'Gervaise' with him in mind. Neil fondly recalls a time on set when Jason began re-writing Gervaise's lines based on an "apparently hilarious" scene from Crossroads.
"I basically spent most of the time in Crossroads chasing my on-screen girlfriend, Nicola. Everyone scene, Nicola would walk in, Phil would go over to her, they'd argue, she'd storm out and Phil would shout, 'Nicola…wait!'
"Jason and Chris [Ramsey] would piss themselves laughing at this, so Jason said to me, 'I'm going to write that into the script.' So if you watch Hebburn back, you'll spot me shouting, "Vicki…wait!" a lot. It's a really good example of the writing being just for you, I think."
Since its debut on BBC2 in October, Hebburn has proven to be a huge success in the ratings, with over 1.5 million viewers tuning in for each of the first three episodes. But taking the rough with the smooth, how does Grainger feel about criticism that the show perpetuates negative stereotypes about the North East?
"There was an attitude at the start from some people who thought Hebburn made us look like idiots – but I think that's gone now. I think the show puts a funny slant on the things that are already there, and it maybe highlights them a bit more than they are; but it's got so much heart behind it and it's written by a man who clearly cares about the place he comes from.
"I've been keeping an eye on Twitter. At first I went there tentatively, to see if it was trending and what people were saying about it. And that can be a body blow; because you see people saying vile things for no reason other than they didn't enjoy the show. Rather than saying, 'It's not for me', words like 'shit' were bandied about. But the vast majority of the feedback was positive. I knew how good Hebburn was in my head, but I know you can't really trust that. The more sitcoms you watch, though, the more you start to think, 'This is better. It's got heart, it's got warmth, it's got wonderful performances in it and…'
So clearly enthusiastic about the show, Grainger almost loses his train of thought, but eventually finds his way: "I read an article in The Guardian asking, 'Where is the comedy talent of tomorrow?' It's the comment that the industry is littered with, and I think Hebburn is just full of new, undiscovered talent.
"I think Lisa McGrillis and Vicki Elliott are great, and that, for me, is the answer to that question. And Jason too is now going to get the success and notoriety that he deserves."
One thing that really strikes you about Grainger is that he's always keen to deflect praise on to his cast-mates. I get the impression that perhaps even now, Grainger is still the boy from Middlesbrough who doesn't quite feel like he belongs on television. Yet he so clearly does, and hopefully he is here to stay.
It's time for final questions; I ask Neil where he sees Gervaise in future seasons of Hebburn, and ultimately where he sees himself.
"I don't know where Gervaise will be in season two – if there is to be a season two – but I think the next series would be more of an ensemble if it were to happen," he says. "In season one you always have to establish the main characters first to create an interest and a care, but just to be involved in series two would be a pleasure…
"I have no expectations about the character," he eventually concedes, clearly still reserved about where Hebburn will take him. Though behind his protective armour, one thing is clear; Grainger is having the time of his life. "Hebburn was a joy from the start," he confesses, "and every day it continues to be a joy. I just hope I get to do it all again."
Hebburn continues tonight on BBC2 at 10pm.

Do-Nothing Democrats
Senator Ted (Intertubes) Stevens is pissed!
This time doesn't have to do with people just dumping e-mails on his e-truck or whatever. This is personal; this is family; this is about his wife Cat. According to the AP
At a hearing of the Senate Commerce Committee, [Kip] Hawley[, head of the Transportation Security Administration] ran into inquiries from lawmakers with family members or friends who had encountered problems at airport checkpoints.
Among them was Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who complained that his wife, Catherine, was being identified as "Cat" Stevens and frequently stopped due to confusion with the former name of the folk singer now known as Yusuf Islam, whose name is on the list. In 2004 he was denied entry into the U.S., but officials declined to explain why.
Hawley explained that Secure Flight, the new passenger screening program, which he hopes will be running in 2008, would make such problems "a thing of the past."
Ted isn't the only person to have problems with the no-fly list. He's not even the only Ted with the problem. He's not even the only Senator named Ted who has gotten ruffled feathers over the N-FL. Back in 2004, the Washington Post very calmly (probably more so than Ted Kennedy) explained that,
U.S. Sen. Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy said yesterday that he was stopped and questioned at airports on the East Coast five times in March because his name appeared on the government's secret "no-fly" list.
Federal air security officials said the initial error that led to scrutiny of the Massachusetts Democrat should not have happened even though they recognize that the no-fly list is imperfect. But privately they acknowledged being embarrassed that it took the senator and his staff more than three weeks to get his name removed.
Of course Republicans are nothing if not paradigms in organisation, fixes and problem solving. Thus this issue was quickly corrected and rectified. At least until someone at the TSA started reading about papal plots; confusing Congress with Parliament; 2005 with 1605; and Guy Fawkes with jihadist, terrorist NUNS!
Sister Glenn Anne McPhee is a busy woman.
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' secretary for education, Sister McPhee oversees Catholic education in the United States, from nursery school through post-graduate. Her job includes working with the Department of Education, speaking frequently at conferences and scrutinizing religious textbooks to clear them with the teachings of the church.
For nine months in 2003 and 2004, Sister McPhee also took on the task of clearing her name from the government's no-fly list, an endeavor that proved fruitless until she called on a higher power, the White House.
Ok, that was then. Any administrative organisation able to quickly correct and rectify personal problems like Heck-of-a-Job Brownie and under the
dictatorship tight reigned control of Michael Chertoff would, more then 5 years after 9/11, finally have everything under control. Unless of course you keep someone like Donna Bucella, head of the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center since it's inception in 2003, on the job. She was interviewed by 60 Minutes last October,
Asked if she is confident that the list is complete and accurate, Bucella says, "It's like painting a bridge. Once you finish one end, you gotta come back. So we endeavor to get the list as current and accurate and thorough as possible."
She says there are people checking the names to make they belong on the list.
"We got a look at the No Fly List from March. And included on that list were 14 of the 19 September 11th hijackers. How do you explain that?" Kroft asks.
"Well, just because a person has died doesn't necessarily mean that their identity has died. People sometime carry the identities of people who have died," she says.
"What you are saying is that you have no information that this person is alive and poses a threat. It's just a name in the database," Kroft asks.
"In order fort the name to get in the data base there has to be information that they are a known suspected terrorist," Bucella says.
"So you are saying it's just a coincidence that there are 14 names in the computer that match the names of 9/11 terrorists. I mean, the people that are on the list have the same date of births as the people that were killed in the – that died in – the suicide bombers from 9/11. I mean, how do you account for that?" Kroft asks.
Bucella asked how recent this watch list was. When told it was from March, she said, "For some reason the agency might not necessarily want to have taken the name off the list. I can't explain that."
According to the article, other people on the list included Saddam Hussein, Nabih Berri, Lebanon's parliamentary speaker, and Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia. One has to wonder if Saddam has been crossed out yet.
Yes, the TSA will be cutting the no-fly list (N-FL) in half. From an estimated 350,000 to a mere 175,000 people (or down to 25,000, or 22,000 – who the f*ck knows; it's secret!) People, who are so scary, you don't want them sitting next to you. Of course some of these no-flyables might be preferable to George Carlin's proverbial drunk guy with the Grateful Dead T-Shirt and the Fuck-You hat. Or the people who think up these wonderful ideas like the N-FL. Or even Ted Stevens for that matter. But perhaps Family Guy showed the biggest threat to American skies.
So, maybe the Do-Nothing Democrats (almost a month in office and what have they accomplished?) will finally get up off their asses and do something about the N-FL, the threat of singing terrorists… and Ted Stevens.
(For your daily news on the N-FL and other security related issues you might pop by Schneier on Security who does a really good blog on personal, data and general security. He was my source for the 60-Minutes article and the video.)

Monthly Tennis Coaching Pointers - January 2019
Following on with our new 5 Tennis Tips feature to the Four Seasons Tennis Blog, today's new 5 tips are focused on the volley and net game.
In our modern tennis era, the net game has lost its way in singles match play. With new techniques and powerful racquets creating heavy spin and fast-paced shots, you don't always get the time to get to the net and close the point.
In doubles, the net game is as strong as ever. Tactically you want to close the net and shut down the angles, which is easier for 2 players covering the doubles court.
For players wanting to add another element to their game, or those trying to sharpen their net play, these tips will help you achieve more when closer to the net.
Tennis Tip 1 – Get a Grip!
Use the same grip for both forehand and backhand volleys, that is, the continental grip (2).
If you're changing between the eastern forehand grip (3) for forehand volleys, and eastern backhand grip (1) for backhand volleys, you don't have time to set up the correct technique and be able to place the ball as well.
Tennis Tip 2 – Tisk, Tisk, Wrist
Keep your wrist firm and braced when playing a volley. Most other shots have a relaxed wrist for more racquet head speed.
Try not to choke the racquet, but don't have a wet fish hand either.
Tennis Tip 3 – Two Left Feet?
Step the opposite foot to which side of the body you're hitting the ball on. Push off the back leg and lean into the shot, stepping the front foot at moment of contact on the ball.
Right-handed players would push off the right foot and land with the left foot when playing a forehand volley.
Tennis Tip 4 – Chicken Wings
Keep the elbows in front of the body when waiting for the ball and split stepping, then open the racquet and punch the ball in front of your body.
Tennis Tip 5 – Close the Net
The closer you are to the net, the better the angle you can play. Don't wait back on the service line all day. Move forward and put pressure on the opponent. However, if you stand too close to the net for too long, or at the wrong time, you leave yourself open for lobs.
Thank you for reading. If you have any requests please let me know :)
On Sunday we had our Adults Winter Tournament and it was a blast. As usual there were 4 divisions with 6 players battling it out in each group. The playing conditions were perfect for tennis. The sun was out and not a hint of wind. It was shaping up to be a wonderful day.
After the speech and the rules were set out it was time to play. Best of 8 games for 5 matches each player and the 2 top point scorers play out the final for the trophy… and the glory!
Unfortunately we were missing Tony Strachan for his infamous BBQ so I had to make do. A few BBQ steaks and veggies were had, even a few beers. There's nothing better to slow down the footwork o
It was a class of regulars including David O'D who won the Division 2 round last comp. In the end John M. defeated friend Matt B. 6-3 to clench his first Four Season Tennis trophy. John uses the unconventional double handed forehand and backhand which maximises power although it was a close match. Not bad for a hangover.
Two first-timers were contenders for the trophy in Div. 2. Marc F. from our Social Tennis and Marcelo H. Playing in his first tournament in Australia. Marc took it out with a 6-1 victory. It was nice to see Marcelo using the serve volley tactics but Marc had slightly more power which clenched the victory.
It was regular players all around in Division 3. All play in our tournaments, social tennis and/or do lessons. It was the most evenly scored division of the day. In the end Ash P. defeated Rachel O'C 6-3 for his second FSTS trophy. Might have to be division 2 next time Ash.
After waking up in Brisbane Kate B. flew into Sydney with only one thing on her mind… tennis tournament! Making a late entrance Kate ended up playing a final against the Frenchman Eric A. who eventually defeated her 5-3.
Thank you to all who participated in the tournament and those who came down to cheers friends on. It was a wonderful day and I hope to see everyone next time.
Plus, here are some more pics...

text: I just straight-up asked the P if I should start looking for a job. He said that, at this exact day and moment, he can't answer the question. He also said he wasn't considering making any decisions on anyone who is non-tenured. He did say he likes what he sees with my teaching so that's a positive..... I then told him about how I was handed my "thank-you-for-your-service" letter at the last minute on the last day from one principal and another principal told me that he "strongly recommended that I look for another position." So I just wanted to get ahead of the information... Just being professional and trying to figure out what my next step would be without any surprise. Given how my current P didn't say to start looking must be encouraging. But then he told me that any non-tenured teacher would be crazy if they're not looking around. So maybe I didn't get the answer I was looking for. Last year, a former P asked me in January if I planned on coming back. Two years ago at a different place, the P said to look... From what I wrote above, does it feel like I should around? To me, it feels that I am safe?

Pak-Russia cooperation is natural
Russia and Pakistan are facing Economic Challenges. Pakistan is over-burden with 95 Billion US dollars external debt, decline in exports, decline in foreign remittances, as a result facing severe shortage of foreign exchange. Government of Pakistan has taken some measures to address the economic situation. But need to do a lot more and may be it will be an up-hill task. Export is the most feasible option and most do-able way to generate foreign exchange. As Pakistan has a potential of exports in many areas, like Agriculture, Textiles, Minerals, Gems and Jewelry, Leather Products, Herbal Products, Handicrafts, Rugs and Carpets, Fruits, Vegetables, Dairy, Grains and etc.
On the other hand, steps has been taken to reduce the import burden. The biggest import-bill is Oil & Gas, Energy sector, where Russia has rich in resources and advance in technology. Industrialization is also an edge for Russians to help Pakistan. The first ever "Steel Mill" in Karachi was built by Russia. Steel Mill is back bone of all industries.
Russia is facing sanctions from US and its allies and need new trading partners. While Pakistan is also having similar situation and seeking new market. Both countries are alliance under SCO platform as well as BRI. Both countries have similar stand on Afghanistan issue and are active in restoration of "Peace and Stability" in Afghanistan. In fact, a stable Afghanistan is vital for trade between Pakistan, Russia, Central Asia, and China and onward to Middle-East, Africa, Europe through Gwadar and Arabian Sea.
"Convergence of Interests" make both Pakistan and Russia close allies. There exists defense ties between two nations and joint military exercises have witnessed a complete harmony among us. On diplomatic from, we are on the same page, either it is regional or international issue, we enjoy identical views.
There is dire need to enhance our trade relations and there exists numerous opportunities where we both countries can benefits of each other's strengths and supplements each other's deficiencies.
Pakistan is an Energy deficient country and meet only 15% of its energy requirement domestically, the rest 85% depends on Imports. While Russia can meet Pakistan's energy requirement very conveniently. Russia has shown interest in Off-shore gas pipelines in Pakistan, which is estimated an investment of around US Dollar 10 Billions. Russian role in KASA 1000 and TAPI projects is admirable.
Pakistan's export potential may be utilized in the best interest of Russian people, who can get good quality and affordable priced commodities from Pakistan and simultaneously, boost Pakistan exports and solve its economic crisis to some extent. Trade ties must be strengthen at a fast pace. Chambers of Commerce and Industries of both countries need to enhance mutual interactions and develop more understandings with each other. Business communities of both side may explore opportunities for trade. Governments of two countries may facilitate by offering easy-visa policies, exhibitions, mutual visit of trade delegations, and rationalization of tax structures.
Culture exchanges and student's exchanges are best mode of promoting understanding among two nations. Russian Universities may offer opportunities for Pakistani youth for higher education. Academicals and intellectuals may enhance mutual visit. Media can play even much more effective role and bridge between the two countries.
We ae already on the right track and need to speed it up. The goals are to help each other and benefits to be trickled down to the common citizens of both nations. We believe in "Peace, Stability and Development" and we may strengthen our cooperation for the same.

Western Maryland Rail Trail Supporters
Building a broad coalition of support for the effort to extend the Western Maryland Rail Trail
The Western Maryland Rail Trail (WMRT) is a 26 mile long paved trail that stretches from a mile west of historic Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool, Maryland to its western terminus at the Potomac River in Little Orleans, Maryland.
Spectacular river views, vistas of hardwood covered mountains exploding with color in the fall, rock formations, dramatic tunnels, transportation history and pristine wilderness all within a few hours drive from Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and Pittsburgh, PA.
The WMRT is perfect for hiking, biking, inline skating (rollerblading) or, weather permitting, cross country skiing. One excellent feature is that the entire trail is handicap accessible. The trail is especially suited to families, novice cyclists (it's almost completely flat), and for anyone seeking a pleasant, leisurely ride.
Biking is the most popular use of the WMRT, with 26 miles of paved trail. The excellent western section follows the rugged mountain terrain west of Hancock, offering great views of the Potomac and surrounding mountains, and no interstate noise!
The Best is Yet to Come!
Help extend the WMRT through the Paw Paw Bends of WV and MD
Imagine crossing and re-crossing the Potomac River between Alleghany County, MD. and Morgan County, WV. Six times on high trestle bridges and going through three exciting tunnels! For the hiker or biker, these 14 miles of unmatched railroad history are sure to make this on e of the oputstanding trails in the country.
Western Maryland Rail Trail Ribbon Cutting
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Maryland Park Service are pleased to announce the completion of Stage IV of the Western Maryland Rail Trail.

Noreen Goode says the promise of a free home pushed her to wake up at 4 a.m. on Wednesday to stand in a long line, all for an opportunity to get a Detroit home, for free, no strings attached.
Goode and nearly a thousand more just like her bucked the heat and responded to the campaign called the Detroit Free Housing program, proposing to allocate homes like this to Detroiters who need them.
7 Action News looked into the claim on Tuesday, the city of Detroit confirming to us that the program was bogus.
Still, hundreds came out and bought into claims that signing a petition for a new city government would help at least start the process.
Organizers stood by their claims, but some we spoke to were disappointed by what they called a false promise.
"It's a bad thing to do to residents of Detroit," said Rudolph Muhammed. "Don't you think residents have had enough? Who's the webmaster? Who's in charge of the website?"
As we reported on Tuesday, the permit that was denied for the event was filed under the name Ramzu Yunus.
Exactly two years ago, Yunus held a protest where again, he lured hundreds of people by claiming they would get free homes.
Just three months later, he held a rally in Highland Park, where he stated he would be taking over the city and making it a free state. That event drew a major police presence - helicopters and even the swat team.
Yunus was charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. As for the free homes promised, they were never given out.

James Calvin was born in 1895 in Preston. His father, also named James, was an American, born in New York; in 1901 his father was working as carpenter and joiner. His mother was named Mary. James was the eldest child, having a brother named John and two sisters called Winifred and Ellen. They were living at 14, Fleetwood Street, Preston.
By 1911, he had two more younger brothers, Arthur and Jospeh. At this time it is shown that James was working as an apprentice drapers assistant.
James Calvin was 20 years 4 months old when he enlisted in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment on the 10th December 1914. He was still living with his parents, now at 68 Egan Street, Preston. He gave his occupation as being a salesman.
James was unmarried, and had no previous military service. He gave his fathers' name, also James Calvin as his legal next of kin.
James was mobilized on 26th January 1916 and posted into No 4 Company, 2nd Battalion and given the service number 22993.
On 24th May 1916, James embarked at Devonport for South Africa on the S.S Trafford Hall. The 2nd Battalion, as part of the Indian Expeditionary Force had been evacuated there following mass ill-health in German East Africa earlier that month.
On 27th December 1916 he landed in Suez, Egypt, and the following month was admitted to hospital in Cairo with malaria.
In June 1917, James attended a Lewis Gunners course, achieving the qualification '1st class gunner'.
In May 1918, James and the 2nd Battalion were moved to the Western front, France. They landed at Marseilles on the 27th May 1918.
On 23rd July 1918 he was wounded in action during The Battle of Soissons, a phase of the 'Second Battle of the Marne'. He had suffered a gunshot wound to his knee, and was sent through hospitals in Paris and Rouen, before receiving treatment in Etaples.
Source: Wikipedia
The Battle of Soissons (also known as the Battle of Soissonnais and of the Ourcq (French: Bataille du Soissonnais et de L'Ourcq)) was a World War I battle, waged during 18 July to 22 July 1918, between the French (with American assistance) and the German armies.
Ferdinand Foch, the Allied Supreme Commander, planned a major counter-offensive on 18 July; 24 French divisions, including several British Divisions, and the Buffalo Soldiers 92nd Infantry Division (United States) then under French command, and reinforced by other Allied troops including eight large U.S. divisions under U.S. command, and 350 tanks, sought to eliminate the salient that was aimed at Paris.
The Allies suffered 125,000 casualties (95,000 French, 13,000 British and 12,000 American), while the Germans suffered 168,000 casualties.
The battle ended with the French recapturing most of the ground lost to the German Spring Offensive in May 1918.
On 16th March 1919, James returned to the UK. He was demobilized to 'Class Z' reserve on 15th April 1919.

I don't like trends and 90% of my clients didn't want to get married wearing colors that they saw at other weddings, they wanted colors that they liked and could relate to.

If it is anticipated that thousands of people will want to make photos or videos or paintings where the statue would appear, then the artist and the city can bargain over a commission price where the city claims the reproduction rights (and, hopefully, puts them in the public domain) and the artist is compensated at the beginning for transferring that right. That greatly reduces the transaction and other costs of anyone wishing to create an image that includes the statue having to negotiate individually with the artist.

Fairfax County Stormwater Planning Division (SWPD) ecologists have developed a lab activity for high school students entitled Stream Crime Investigation (SCI) that couples the informative nature of presentations with the hands-on experience of lab exercises. The lab illustrates the connection between the residents' behaviors on land and their impact on local waterways. Students act as recruits for a crime prevention unit whose role is to track and stop common pollutants from entering our waterways.
Students use kitchen chemistry reactions that emulate the tests conducted by real stormwater scientists to identify the sources of pollutants in a fictional town and they propose solutions to prevent additional pollutants from entering the storm drainage network. Response to this lab has been overwhelmingly positive from teachers and students, alike.
- Fairfax County ecologists present the lab at no cost to the school
- Specific elements of the lab can be emphasized or deemphasized according to age group and curriculum requirements
- All materials are provided by Fairfax County stormwater staff
- The lab runs from 45 to 60 minutes
The Stream Crime Investigation lab won a 2015 award from the National Association of Counties (NACo) in the category of Children and Youth. Also, SCI won a 2015 Achievement Award from the Virginia Association of Counties (VACo) for outstanding local programs.

Time for India to push past anger and strengthen BRICS cooperation
By Liu Zhiqin Source:Global Times Published: 2017/8/30 19:08:39
The 9th BRICS summit will be held in Xiamen, East China's Fujian Province, from September 3 to 5. This summit is significant since it will not only summarize the achievements of BRICS in the complicated international environment, but also put forward an action plan for the operating system and prospects of the bloc.
In September of last year, the successful
summit in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, showed the world China's passionate involvement in the global economy during a time when global economic growth is faltering, protectionism is rising and the US has withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement. In particular, China's
Belt and Road
initiative received generous support from B&R countries and their enterprises.
However, there are still voices of discontent in some BRICS countries. When it comes to economic and trade activities, various kinds of protectionism and egoism have been undermining the mutual trust and respect among member countries, as well as the bloc's foundation for heightened cooperation and mutual benefits. This goes against the development principle of BRICS and is sure to harm the economic growth of the international market, especially the markets of BRICS members.
For the cooperation and future of BRICS, Sino-Indian relations is a topic that cannot be ignored due to what a healthy and stable relationship between these two populous countries means to the international community.
China and India share many similarities: They both seek to improve the standards of living for their people and play an indispensable role in the world. The healthy development of BRICS in the past has relied a great deal on close cooperation between China and India, especially their consultation and dialogue in solving important problems related to economic and trade cooperation.
However, recently, India's attitude toward China has changed a lot. India has become aggressive and bellicose. In August, India launched anti-dumping and countervailing investigations into more than 90 Chinese products. This more or less demonstrated India's unfriendly attitude toward China. Additionally, after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US, the Modi administration strengthened its opposition against China. These changes were music to the ears of Western countries since they feel that India's actions will be able to suppress China at low costs to themselves.
There are three reasons that India has started disputes with China.
First, India harbors ill feelings toward China's development, which is different from the West's prejudice and arrogance toward China.
When India saw developed countries such as the US and Japan blame China for their slow economic development, it realized stirring up disputes against China was the most convenient way to alleviate domestic political pressures, while also wooing the US to its side.
Yet, in the end this will end up harming India.
Similar to China's experiences, the West has never truly promoted India's development, but instead has acted as a backseat driver while letting India develop all on its own. India should learn from the lessons of history.
Second, India may think that China has no counter capability and therefore will have little impact on India. Because of this, it has chosen to make some risky moves. However, the development of India has benefited much from China's rapid development due to globalization. China regards India as its most important raw material supplier. The complementary advantages of the two economies have been given full play, making China and India gain benefits from bilateral trade.
Third, India is beset with contradictions. The structural conflicts between trade and industry have especially restricted India's market competitiveness. What bothers politicians in India is that they have no solutions for these contradictions. They once thought that the market would correct itself, but the reality has proven disappointing.
Additionally, India's national governance has always been criticized by the international community, but now the Indian government thinks that following the West's suggestions will end up helping India's economic development and improve people's livelihood.
This most likely will not happen as expected.
The BRICS countries should stand fast when facing the challenges of the complex international environment so that BRICS can contribute to the development of the global economy.
Only by maintaining cooperation and unity can BRICS push their development to a new stage.
Only through equal cooperation can BRICS countries maximize their benefits and maintain the smooth and healthy development of their economies.

Amadeus announced its first pan-regional agreement with an Asian online travel agency: Hutchison Priceline.
Madrid, Spain, 26 October: Amadeus, a global leader in technology and distribution solutions for the travel and tourism industry, today announced its first pan-regional agreement with an Asian online travel agency: Hutchison Priceline. Amadeus will provide Hutchison Priceline with access to its comprehensive air, hotel and Hotel Multimedia content. Amadeus will support Hutchison Priceline in its current Asian markets: Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, and its expansion plans.
Hutchison Priceline plans to use the Amadeus Master Pricer suite to access flight content. Amadeus Master Pricer Standard will allow Hutchison Priceline's customers to view up to 200 low-cost, availability-checked fares for a given date in a single transaction. Amadeus Master Pricer Calendar will allow Hutchison Priceline's customers to easily view a range of low-priced, availability-checked domestic and international flight and price options from multiple airlines in a calendar format. Hutchison Priceline will also have access to Amadeus' international hotel content with over 68,000 locations as well as Hotel Multimedia.
The Master Pricer low-fare search and Calendar tools, and Amadeus Availability Server, which uses advanced algorithms and intelligent technology to optimise availability data, are currently the world's leading international low-fare search technology applications, used by many international online travel agencies around the world. By enhancing the shopping experience these solutions will help Hutchison Priceline convert shoppers into buyers, thus significantly improving the conversion rate and increasing sales.
Hutchison Priceline is operated by Hutchison-Priceline (Travel) Ltd, which is owned by US-based Priceline.com Inc, and the Hong Kong-based multinational conglomerate, Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. "We were very pleased by the technology offered by Amadeus," says Tony Ma, Chief Executive Officer, Hutchison-Priceline, "and we are confident that this technology will allow us to offer our customers a better shopping experience and faster access to the best fares and rates, as we continue to build and expand our business across the Asian region."
PhocusWright expects the Asian online travel market place to grow by 30% a year to USD25.6 billion by 2007. "Amadeus is committed to providing the best technology for online travel agents and consumers and our strategy in the online travel agency sector is to develop our success in the European market, where we have over 60% of the market, to the fast-growing Asian markets," says Gillian Gibson, Vice President, Multinational Customer Group, Amadeus, "Clearly this partnership with one of the best names in online travel takes that commitment forward significantly."

User Experience Notes Explained
Hubspot offers other SaaS companies several ways to integrate with its suite of tools. Here are some of the most common use cases:
CRM Extension: Add your data to a Hubspot CRM Contact, Company, or Deal record, and have it viewed inside the CRM's UI on its own branded sidebar "card." You can also add UI functions that trigger events and push data back to your app.
Timeline: Add Contact, Company, or Deal specific event data to that Contact, Company, or Deal's timeline viewed inside the Hubspot UI (including CRM, Marketing Hub, and others TBD.)

Left Hook will also build custom UI elements for user authentication, field mapping, and related implementation steps. These costs will scale depending on number of users and the amount of data moving between apps; for most SaaS companies, this secure infrastructure will cost between $50 and $200 per month. Contact us to explore these costs in greater detail.
Backend Difficulty Explained
- Medium
Frontend Difficulty Explained
- Medium
Left Hook Notes on Marketing Dimensions
Because this Opportunity brings two SaaS apps together without an intermediating integration platform, the technical complexity and UI development are more extensive and important.

There isn't a PGA Tour event in his birth state of Iowa nor his home state of Idaho. So this week's 3M Open is as close to a home game as Troy Merritt is going to get. Friday in Round 2, he played TPC Twin Cities like there was a home-field advantage.
The former Spring Lake Park prep golfer shot 7-under 64 on a muggy, windless morning that got him to 8 under for the tournament, tied for 11th place heading into the weekend.
"It was funny, they were a lot louder [Friday] when more birdies were going in," Merritt said of the "several" friends, family and other local golf fans following his group. "Hopefully we can continue that this weekend and see how loud we can get them."
After starting his round with five consecutive pars, Merritt got the crowd charged with a chip-in eagle on the par-5 sixth hole. Merritt gave a shot back on the difficult ninth hole, then shot 6-under 30 on the back nine. That impressive run included a 27-foot putt for birdie on No. 15, part of a stretch of marking four circles on his card in a row.
"Just kind of took care of business," Merritt said. "It's fun when 6 under in nine holes just kind of seems simple. It doesn't happen very much."
It certainly didn't last week in Detroit, when Merritt shot even par and missed the cut at the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic.
That's never the goal, of course, but the extra time before coming to Blaine allowed Merritt to rest up and zero in on another new event.
"That was the main focus this week, put some time in with the driver," Merritt said. "Obviously I know the course. … Still needed to find the driver. Just because you know a golf course doesn't mean you're going to play it well."
Whatever Merritt did it worked. He has missed only three fairways so far, which on a course that is playing long with saturated rough can mean a world of difference.
Merritt planned to enjoy Friday night's Twins game at Target Field before making a run up the leaderboard Saturday.
That's Tom Lehman's plan this weekend, too. The 60-year-old shot 69 on Friday and at 6 under made his first non-major cut on the PGA Tour since 2012.
"The idea of even being near the lead is a little hard to imagine with the quality of these players," Lehman said. "I'm very pleased to be playing four rounds, that's for certain."
Lehman played the first five holes 2 over Friday but rebounded with four birdies in his final 13 holes.
He acknowledged that as a course co-designer and having played it in PGA Tour Champions competition his familiarity of the layout — especially the greens — has helped immensely through two rounds.
"I still have to make those putts," he said. "But I'm very, very clear on where to hit it, where the breaks are and where the tough pins are. Where not to miss."
Two-time Minnesota State Amateur champion Tom Hoge two-putted from 53 feet on the 18th hole to make birdie — and shoot 71 for the day and make the cut on the number at 3 under.
That's the same score for Osceola, Wis., native Charlie Danielson, who holed out from 136 yards on No. 7 to finish with a round of 66. Wayzata's Tim Herron missed the cut at 5 over after shooting 74.

a new day greets with a lovely smile
blue skies with tint of clouds.
i paint the image of my mind
delete all the 'no longer'
plan for the 'not yet'…
suddenly ahhhhhhhhh… yes, suddenly
aware of my 'instantaneous now'
my food spoilt: i need a brand new refrigerator.
but this 'instantaneous now'
never really existed
annihilated, as always,
by the infinite 'not yet'…
thus, this whole series of annihilation
the 'not yet' passes through
the 'instantaneous now, to the 'no longer'…
all… melting to nothingness
my flesh, bothers worldly cares… all are temporal.
so… why, why wars hates killings
why not LOVE?
why not MAKE PEACE?
why not ENJOY?
every seconds minutes hours weeks years
wasted on whiles of the world
they are but existing impressions
we are meant to
melt into nothingness!

Antonio Ferrari
Chiesi Farmaceutici, Italy
Title: Spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias in early clinical trials: A report from a single and repeated ascending dose study
Antonio Ferrari earned an MD at the University of Pavia in 1990 and specialized in Cardiology at the University of Pavia. He served at Policlinico San Matteo in Cardiology dept for 14 years where he performed Clinical Cardiology, EPs Studies, cardiac angiography, clinical research in particular in Arrhythmology. From 2009, he is Corporate Cardiac Leader and Head of International Medical Unit in Chiesi Farmaceutici.
Ventricular Arrhythmias (VA) may be recorded in Phase 1 clinical trials, and although not common fi ndings, the increase in ECG monitoring time in Healthy Volunteers (HV) may be associated with more frequent reports of asymptomatic VA. In particular, occurrence of Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia (NSVT) can raise Cardiac Safety concerns in a development program. Methods: Th e primary objective of the single centre clinical trial was to assess the safety and tolerability of single (SAD, seven dose levels) and repeated (MAD, fi ve dose levels for seven days) ascending doses of a compound compared to placebo when administered to male HVs. Th e study designs were crossover in SAD part and parallel group in MAD part. In SAD, two out of the ten subjects in each of the two dose cohorts received placebo, in MAD placebo was administered in three out of the twelve subjects. Th e Holter schedule (12-lead digital) was the following: in SAD part, two consecutive Holters, on Days -1 and 1 for each dose and in MAD, fi ve Holters on Days -1, 1, 3, 6 and 7. Th ere were two Holters for each subject in off -drug conditions, one at screening and one at Day -1. VA occurrence time was compared to individual maximum drug concentrations (Cmax). Results: Th e present report only focuses on NSVT runs, defi ned as at least three consecutive beats of ventricular origin, excluding isolated and couplets of VA. A total of 124 volunteers were screened, and NSVT were observed at screening in fi ve Holter recordings out of 124 (four subjects not randomized and one subject randomized). Twenty volunteers were divided into two cohorts and randomized to SAD part and NSVT were observed in two subjects. Fift y-four subjects were randomized to MAD part, divided into three cohorts, and in three subjects NSVTs were recorded. Th e total number of subjects showing at least one NSVT was 10 out of 124 total screened, randomized or non-randomized. In six subjects out of 10, the NSVT were observed in off -drug periods (screening or before dosing). In the other four subjects the arrhythmias were observed far from drug Cmax. Conclusions: Th e occurrence of ventricular runs was low and in line with that reported in the literature (10 out of 124). Ventricular runs in these HVs were consistently short and monomorphic, with a predominant left bundle branch block pattern, with a long coupling interval of the fi rst ventricular beats. Th e use of both systematic screening Holter and additional 24-hour recordings before dosing allows the determination of the "background frequency" of such episodes in off -drug conditions and so permits a more robust evaluation of drug eff ects.

Have you ever wanted to reuse our cylinder (or I-tip) hair extensions? In this video we will show you how our cylinder extensions can be reused over and over again.
Many of our stylists aren't aware of how easy it is to reuse our cylinder extensions.
When it is time to move up the extension strands and replace the copper links, it can be difficult to insert the flattened tip into the round micro links. We make it easy with a simple technology that allows you to quickly and easily reshape the tips.
I-tip extensions are usually made with a hot melt glue that can easily crack and shed when pressed flat with the rings.
Our Cylinder extension tips are protected with a special sheath developed by NASA and originally produced for the aerospace industry for long lasting strength, while maintaining flexibility. This material is unique because under certain conditions, it will return to its original shape.
For our cylinder extension tips, the condition that will bring the material back to its original round shape, is heat.
If you reshape our cylinder extensions yourself, we would love to see some before and after images of the cylinder tips. You can send them directly to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or direct message us on Instagram or Facebook.

David Solomons Author Visit
On Monday 10th July we were visited by David Solomons, author of 'My Brother is a Superhero.' We loved hearing about the inspiration for his popular series of books and suggesting our own idea for a superhero. Children were inspired by the visit and are already busy reading the adventures of Luke and his superhero brother. Don't forget to look for the signed copies of the series in our school library.

Since the end of the yellow fever outbreak, I've lost touch with many of my Brazilian sources of health news. Now, with the impending inauguration of Jair Bolsonaro on January 1, such sources will be increasingly important.
A quick search for Brazilian health bloggers has turned up very few active blogs, and I doubt the Ministry of Health website and blog will be very helpful. I'm also aware that Brazilian bloggers on political topics sometimes get shot—and I have no desire to see that happen to anyone else.
Still, if you know of any individuals, groups, or agencies that are familiar with Brazil's public health issues, working online in or out of the country, I'd be grateful for the links.

Most conventional shocks are made with shock bodies cut from a piece of steel tubing, stamped internal parts and compromised tolerances. In contrast, Bilstein's shock bodies are precision formed through a unique seamless extrusion process. This provides superior strength along with high finish tolerances that are usually associated with surgical instruments. The shock body is then treated with a special paint finish durable enough to withstand grueling 240-hour salt spray tests. The finished body is mated with a solid, induction hardened steel chrome plated and polished shaft, machined valving components and highest quality seals. Combined with extreme attention to detail, Bilstein manufactures the closest thing to a hand built shock available today.

"Strength is for everyone." This week we're blessed to have Sam Johnson founder of Strength Farm and Betina Gozo Nike Master Trainer as special guests on the Fitness Break Room.
They believe true strength is the emotional or mental qualities necessary in dealing with situations or events that are distressing or difficult. And they're people who've experienced a lot of life in a fairly short amount of time. Get your ego in check, people! These two are humble, powerful, and so empowering.
Don't miss their stories and get inspired to make a huge impact on your community. We're in this together so we might as well learn as much as we can from our fellow fitness pros.
Enjoy the show,
As a Nike Master Trainer, musician, performer, and budding entrepreneur Betina has spent most of her life building a strong foundation for her versatile set of creative interests. Her background ranges from stage, dance, and on-camera instruction to training in guitar, bass, and piano.
In both grade school and high school, she was actively engaged in a variety of activities such as choir, jazz band, dance team, plays, and musicals. Throughout the years, she found that nothing fulfilled her spirit more than helping others, so she became a Certified Personal Trainer.
Throughout Sam's early childhood his parents made it a point to enroll him and his siblings in as many sports as possible. They grew up loving to compete and train. Unfortunately, he also battled injuries and sickness due to a lack of understanding in nutrition and strength training. With parents who worked long hours and days providing for a large family it was impossible for them to afford any kind of personal trainer or athletic performance training membership for him and his siblings. They found themselves doing what workouts they knew how to do, mostly sprinting uphill or racing each other at local parks and the boys and girls club.
Sam's time in the military showed him there are ways to develop strength in the most simplistic formats. In StrengthFarm, his vision is to create a fitness center, not only for adults but for people of all ages to become stronger.
"We value all forms of diversity and it is part of our mission to create an environment where each individual is valued for bringing their own skills and talents. We believe that diversity inclusion makes for a stronger community.
We coach adults of all ages in a personal one on one or group setting to reach for and attain their goals and aspirations physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We coach young athletes and guide them through their athletic endeavors, supporting them through high school, college and beyond.
We also, coach and help train military recruits. My experience in the military provided me with the unique ability to coach military recruits and I am passionate about preparing them with the skills needed to make the cut.
StrengthFarm is truly a place where you will see a 50-year old working professional training beside a 15-year old high school kid and performing the same exercise at their own paces respectfully. I believe that everyone is an athlete regardless of any perceived limitation, and it is my promise to help each of my members unleash the power of their potential. Strength is for Everyone."

Dear Montessori Friends and Families,
As you may know, the first three years are the most crucial in the life of the child. These experiences and interactions of the child lay the foundation for trust and understanding of the world, brain functioning, problem solving, and executive functioning. That is why Sweet Pea Montessori creates ideal environments for infants and toddlers. Sweet Pea Montessori's mission is to collaborate with families to nurture the minds and spirits of infants and toddlers. We strive for community, equity, and connections with nature. Our commitment to providing beautiful Montessori environments and qualified and caring staff ensures that we provide the best foundation for children while they are in our care.
We are dedicated to providing this care to families regardless of income level. At this time we have several families who need tuition assistance in order to attend Sweet Pea Montessori. To meet the needs of these families, we are providing tuition assistance of over $3,000 a month. Until we have a fund for this, it is coming out of staff salaries and other areas of our budget. We are asking for end of our fiscal year donations at this time to meet the needs of our community and to offer benefits to our staff. We are grateful for several donations in the past year- more than $5,000, but we still have a gap to fill.
We aim to raise $5,000- $10,000 by the end of June 2019 and we would love an end of the year donation from you to get us started! Your gift will allow us to continue to offer our program to families who cannot afford full tuition and who are not eligible for child care assistance or who are in the process of applying for child care assistance. We recognize that it is expensive to run the unique type of program we have at Sweet Pea Montessori and that we need support for it to be accessible to all. Please consider a tax deductible donation to Sweet Pea Montessori for the youngest and most important members of our world! You may send a check to our school (our preference) or donate online.
With Gratitude and Hope,
All of us at Sweet Pea Montessori
Checks can be mailed to 300 Cedar Lake Road South, Minneapolis, MN 55405. Use the donate button below to donate online (Sweet Pea Montessori is charged a 2.2% fee for online donations).Donate

In addition, the upgrade addresses a relatively frustrating bug that resulted in the text size for labels beneath application logos on the home screen not adjusting according to the on-screen zoom settings, which will come as good news to those who take advantage of the firm's Easy Mode layout.
