Official figures show that the demand for goods made in the Northern Powerhouse has grown by 3.5% over the last year, and 16.1% since 2010.
Official figures show that the demand for goods made in the Northern Powerhouse has grown by 3.5% over the last year, and 16.1% since 2010.
Steady year on year and quarter on quarter growth in exports from the Northern Powerhouse shows the strength of the northern economy as the United Kingdom prepares to leave the European Union next March.
The combined value of all goods in Q2 2018 was £14.9 billion, £2.1 billion more than the same time in 2010.
Also, the value of goods on the quarter in 2018 rose from £14.5 billion in Q1 to £14.9 billion in Q2.
The figures also show that exports from across the Northern Powerhouse rose by £497million from Q2 2017 to Q2 2018.
Machinery and transport, chemicals and manufactured goods are the biggest exports from the Northern Powerhouse regions – worth a combined total of £11.2 billion.
Northern Powerhouse Minister Jake Berry MP, said:
These figures show that the Northern Powerhouse is delivering for exporters across the whole of the North of England. As we prepare for Brexit, the exporters of the North are rising to the challenge.
These figures prove that the feeling of optimism about our growing Northern economy I witnessed this summer as part of my tour of the North is real and creating jobs, wealth and growth across the region.
Yesterday's figures from Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs show the European Union is the biggest destination for northern exports, followed by Asia & Oceania.
Paul Harris, Director of Economic Development, Rolls-Royce, said:
It's positive to see that there has been a rise in trade and exports in the Northern Powerhouse. Rolls-Royce employs 25,000 people in the UK, accounts for 0.7% of UK GDP and 2% of all UK goods exports. Trading internationally is vital to our global business and 80% of what we manufacture in the UK is exported around the world.
With sites in the North West, North East and Yorkshire and Humber, Rolls-Royce has a significant impact on the Northern economy employing around 2,000 people, supporting more than 25,000 jobs and spending more than £500 million with supply chain businesses.
Recent investments of over £160 million to modernise facilities in Barnoldswick, Lancashire and £130 million on a state of the art discs facility in Washington, Tyne & Wear demonstrates our commitment to the North and we are also committed to working with the government as Northern Powerhouse partners.

The final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), which labeled the ongoing violence against Indigenous women and girls in Canada a "Canadian genocide" caused by "state actions and actions rooted in colonialism and colonial ideologies", calls on Canadian society "to address the intersecting settler colonial and hetero-patriarchal wrongs that have led to the injustice of MMIWG," argues Andrew Woolford, a former president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars and professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Manitoba.

One of my favorite pastimes for a sunny (lousy light) day is going through old images. So a few days ago I was perusing my archives when I came across this 6-year old poppy image that I have absolutely no memory of taking.
Discovering these unmined gems is like finding a $20 bill in the pocket of a jacket you haven't worn for years. We are constantly growing as photographers (right?), so what didn't catch your eye originally may just turn out to be special to your new and improved photographic vision.
If you've been reading my blog for awhile (and maybe even if you haven't) you probably know the role the quality of light plays in photography. It may be the single most important element of a successful image--without the right light (however you choose to define "right"), even the most beautiful scene becomes a merely ordinary photograph; with the right light, the most ordinary subjects come to life.
Compare today's image with my previous post. Both are intimate views of poppies with startlingly different results. In the earlier image brilliant midday light evokes uplifting emotions of a dazzling spring afternoon; in today's image muted, end of day light creates feelings of brooding introspection. I'm sure in a vote for "favorite," both images would be well represented. In fact, I suspect many people's opinions would change with their moods.
Every time you click your shutter you have the power to move somebody with your creation. The difficult trick is harnessing that power, something that requires an intangible synergy of logic (such as planning and camera settings) and emotion (such as your feel for the scene and your sense for visual balance). Sometimes you don't know what you've captured until return home; and sometimes you don't know for years.

Cluster Headache Signs, Symptoms And Treatments
Silberstein SD, Lipton RB, Goadsby PJ (2002). Headache in Clinical Practice (Second ed.). Taylor & Francis.
Cluster headaches are available cycles (additionally referred to as cluster periods). Most individuals who get cluster headaches have one or two cluster periods annually. A cluster interval would possibly last 1 month or longer. After a cluster interval Children Health ends, you might not get another headache for months and even years. Maintaining a regular body temperature: A sudden rise in body's temperature can set off a headache in those that are susceptible.
This is just a begin to see if the headaches go down, however others may want to examine if meals allergies are current, since finding out about the food allergic reactions as well as many environmental allergy symptoms, the complications have diminished, not eradicated. It has solely been a short time since my allergies were diagnosed, but a cycle of complications has since stopped.
Triggers for cluster complications can include alcohol, heat temperatures, exercise as well as robust smells corresponding to perfume or paint. If a bodily examination is finished during an assault, the examination will normally reveal Horner syndrome (one-sided eyelid drooping or a small pupil).

How to Find the Most Suitable Golf Courses for Your Playing Level
Golf is one of the most popular individual sports out there. In any one golf course, you will find both professionals and amateurs sharpening their skills. Due to the fact that some people play professionally and others for fun, there is a wide ability gap among players. A game of golf is most enjoyed when a player plays in a course that matches their ability. This is because the golf courses are also very different and would suit different players. If you are planning on testing your skills on a new course, use the following pointers to help you choose one.
Chances are that as you worked on your game at your local club, you got acquainted with other golf enthusiasts. There is also a chance that you know players with more experience playing on different golf courses. These are therefore the best people to ask for advice and recommendations. Those who know your game very well and have experience playing in many courses can give you useful leads. From this list you can narrow down the choices based on other criteria.
If you want to get a more reliable recommendation, ask a professional within the golfing industry. Most golf courses have some PGA experts who work either as trainers or in other capacities. Provided the professional knows your game first hand, they can give very suitable courses for your playing level. If you have a professional trainer, they will give you the best recommendations.
When looking for a suitable golf course, the internet is a very useful resource. Most golf courses will have a website where all the important specs will be listed. Knowing your game, choose the course that is doable but still challenging to you. There are websites and blogs that are dedicated to reviewing the playing experience on the various courses. Find out what other players are saying about the course, especially those in a similar playing level.
Every player should know their drive length or yardage when they reach a certain playing level. At a certain level, every player will have a certain average figure for their drive length. Knowing this figure, choose a golf course which offers an appropriate length between the holes. You should choose a course that will allow you to finish in more or less the recommended strokes.
Perhaps the best way of finding a suitable golf course for you is to take advantage of demo days. Most golf courses offer demo days whereby players can have a feel of the course. The benefit of this method is that on top of experiencing the course first hand, you also do it free of charge. Whenever possible, this is actually the best way to find the most suitable course for your playing ability. This method is, however, appropriate for evaluating golf courses that are near your area of residence.

A Long Weekend in Straddie
North Stradbroke island is a beautiful spit of land just off the Gold Coast in sunny Queensland, Straya. As with all names in the aussie dictionary, it's abbreviated and subsequently known to most as Straddie. My weekend in Straddie was a huge turning point in my 'settling in' time in Australia cos I gotta say, I completely fell in love with the place and I haven't looked back since. Beaches, sunshine, kangaroos, dolphins, turtles, (…and sharks), it was the perfect cliché aussie combo us Brits dream about and I couldn't recommend the place higher for a weekend away or as an extra stop off on a trip along the east coast.Read More

Do you install stoves?
Despite the name, Stovefitter's does not do installations or fittings. We do sell all the goods required for the job and we are well known for assisting people who desire to self-install.
We can provide you with a list of installers in your area and are happy to help in the unlikely event of your install not going to plan.
We have a selection of Easy Guides (shown above) as well as a comprehensive DIY Installation Manual written by Stovefitter's owner Julian Patrick.
You can visit our Delivery page for full details on shipping options.
Do you sell spares parts or stove glass?
Generally we do not. If you purchased a stove from us and are struggling to locate a part then please contact us.
For stove replacement parts we suggest Woodburner Spares.
For replacement glass requirements we recommend Replacement Stove Glass Ltd.
So many stoves! How do I choose?
Check out our easy to read infographic talking you through some of the main stove options when choosing your log burning stove.
Radiant or convector stove?
Go for standard radiant stoves (99% of stoves sold are radiant). All of our stoves are standard radiant stoves.
See here:
Will a certain stove fit in my fireplace recess?
We get asked this a lot. The stove dimensions and recommended minimum-distances-to-non-combustibles are shown on each product page. If your fireplace is non-combustible then, as a guide, you should have at least 100mm air gap around and above the stove. Also worth checking this infographic as it shows how to obtain the rear air gap.
Ecodesign, SIA and DEFRA. What's it mean?
If you live in a Smoke Control Area you will need to choose a stove approved by DEFRA to burn wood in the area (legal requirement).
The SIA logo recognises stoves that meet the Ecodesign Ready regulations that will come into place in 2022. These regs are designed to ensure stoves are cleaner and less polluting. Stoves installed before this time do not legally need to meet this requirement.
What do the icons mean in each stove page?
We are in the process of redesigning all our icons. However, for the time being, you can read this helpful guide: Terminology & Icons.
Can I self install?
Yes, you can legally self install. However, installation of stoves and liners is notifiable and does need signing off by a registered installer in a suitable scheme or your local council's Building Control Department. With regard to the latter some councils are really helpful and do this all the time, whilst others may refuse to help even though it is their statutory duty to assist.
Do it yourself and get an installer to sign it off at the end? Some will but many will not. What they will usually do is let you do some of the work (e.g. do all the fireplace and hearth work and just leave them the actual stove-install). We advise you to purchase stoves and materials to ensure a high-quality product is installed (some installers use budget materials to increase profit margins).
We can provide you with a list of installers in your area and are happy to help in the unlikely event of your install not going to plan.
If you are thinking of self-installing your log burner then you will find our Stovefitter's Manual site very useful, with a wealth of helpful 'How To' articles. The following are some of our most popular articles:
An introduction to self-installing a log burning stove
An introduction to Building Regulations when self-installing a log burning stove
How much to get an installer in? Where do I find one?
Approx. costs if you have a chimney: £750-£1,000 (save £500 by self-installing).
Approx. costs if you have a chimney and need fireplace opening up: £1,600-£2,000 (save £1200 by self-installing).
Approx. costs if you do not have a chimney £1500 (bungalow)-£2500 (2-storey house). Save £1,000-£1400 by self-installing.
Above figures include labour and materials but no stove.
We, of course, advise you to purchase your stove and materials from Stovefitter's to ensure quality goods are installed (some installers use budget materials to increase margin).

How to Make a Great First Impression
How long does it take to make a first impression? If you're thinking in terms of minutes, you are seriously missing the mark. The reality is that the person you are meeting will have started to form an opinion of you within the first few seconds of your encounter. In a business or interview scenario it could very well be over and done with between your entrance and the first handshake.
So why are first impressions so important? Humans are hardwired to think fast and make hasty decisions. Part of this reason is because we are visual creatures and in that first instance, if we don't like what we see, we have a tendency to put our guard up and ignore all the other attributes. This may seem judgmental and redundant but we all make this hasty observations and form opinions at lightning speed. We do it several times a day without even realizing it. Ask yourself, how many times have you refused to see a movie simply because you didn't like the movie poster? Later you watch the movie and it turned out to be a pretty decent one, but that first impression from the movie poster clouded your judgment.
In our social lives and in business we are making first impressions every day and we may not be aware of the opinions people have of us. Most of the time it doesn't really matter, but other times we could miss out on friendships, career and business opportunities over the tiniest detail. When we start to understand the importance of making a good first impression we realize we need to put our best foot forward every time we find ourselves in a new situation. Let's take a look at what it takes to make leave a lasting and positive impression.
Research The Dress Code
While the very first rule of dressing for success is knowing what to wear for each different occasion it's always a good idea to do a little bit of research. Overdressing can be just as negative as under dressing. If you are going for a job interview, ask around and find out what the company's dress code is and dress accordingly. The same applies to social gatherings. However, make sure what you do wear is comfortable and makes you feel confident. Fidgeting and looking uncomfortable in your clothes will leave an impression, but not a good one. If you can't find the information you need on the dress code, it's always better to err on the side of caution and put in a little more effort. That doesn't mean you need to put on a three piece suit for a job in a sporting club but you still want to put in a little bit of a better showing on the first day. In such a case, a good quality pair of jeans and a collared shirt or polo with do fine.
Pay Close Attention To Personal Hygiene
Do you remember the smelly kid at school? Sadly, every school or indeed every class had one. Now think how this kid was perceived by everyone else. Things don't change when we finish school and enter the workforce and you could be signing your own career death sentence if you show up to a job interview smelling a little sour. Good hygiene will go a long way when it comes to the importance of a first impression and you really want to make an effort in this area. It is an absolute must to shower and shave before a job interview or coming to your job every morning. The use of deodorant is also greatly encouraged. If you have a tendency to perspire a lot, bring your deodorant with you and even a clean shirt wouldn't go astray in extreme circumstances. Whatever you do, don't try to cover up the odor by drowning yourself in deodorant and cologne. You won't be able to hide the original nasty smell but instead you'll just be adding another overpowering one to it.
Flash Those Pearly Whites
One thing that usually tops the list when it comes to making a good impression is your smile. Everyone likes a happy, friendly looking person so when you enter and office, party or any other social or business setting, greet everyone with a smile. Smiling at people tends to disarm them meaning they will start to feel more comfortable around you and will be more likely to engage in conversations with you. Keep it relatively tame but genuine. If you smile too much you will either come across as flaky or overly nervous. Neglecting to smile may give off an air of arrogance or indifference. Just smile as naturally as possible and you'll be fine. While we're on the topic of your signature grin, make sure you brush your teeth and use a mouthwash. Your boss or interviewer does not need or want to smell what you had for dinner last night.
The 1st Impressions Handshake
A handshake may seem insignificant but it offers a lot of insight into the person you are meeting and greeting. Firstly, it is a sign of respect and courtesy so you want to get it right. A good handshake can exude confidence mixed with a certain degree of friendliness. There is a very fine line between a handshake that is too weak or too strong so it's best to try a firm, but not overly aggressive handshake that simply conveys your desire to become acquainted.
Perfect Your Speaking Skills
So many people overlook the importance of good speaking skills and that generally means speaking clearly. It's also important to not slur your words, but rather, pronounce each word clearly and concisely. Avoid using slang words unless you are at a relaxed gathering with close family and friends. Speaking clearly makes you look classier and more educated. This is most important in the business world because the last impression you want to make is one that has no trace of professionalism. Another consideration when it comes to speech is the volume of your voice. Speak like a church mouse and you won't be heard. This could result in people losing interest in speaking with you, particularly if they need to keep asking you to repeat yourself. Speaking too loud is just as bad as you could give your speaking companion a headache.
Eye Contact Conveys Trustworthiness
Eye contact is crucial at establishing trust. If you keep darting your eyes in all different directions, you may give the impression or being bored with the company, distracted or perhaps even a little dishonest. That doesn't mean you need to stare intently at with the people you are conversing with. That can come across as a little weird. Just make eye contact with the person and blink when you need to. It's a lot easier when you're in a group as you can speak the eye contact around instead of focusing on just one person.
You May Not Be Talking, But Your Body Language Is Shouting
You could be speaking in volumes without saying a single word depending on your body language. You want to come across as confident and interesting but you can't do that if you are slouched over like Quasimodo. The trick is to stand or sit up straight without looking too rigid. Also, pay close attention to what your arms and legs are doing when you are speaking. It's fine to be a little animated and interesting so hand gestures are fine to tell a story, but you don't want to look like a buffoon with arms flailing all over the place. Similarly, fidgeting too much can ruin a first impression as this can make you look incessantly nervous and ready to take flight. Try and sit or stand in a relaxed position without looking like you're about to fall asleep. Show your interest and in subtle ways mirror the body language of the person you are having a conversation with. Not every single movement though. Just enough to show interest in the person and the topic being discussed.
Pay Attention To Names
Nobody likes to be forgotten so try to pay close attention when you are being introduced to new people and remember their names. Remembering someone's name shows you genuinely have an interest in them as a person and the things they have to say. The best way to remember a name is to repeat it at regular intervals throughout the conversation. Of course, we all come across moments when we do forget a name, but don't make that obvious to your new acquaintance. Try and bring a new person into the conversation and then let them introduce themselves to the new person. This time you really do need to pay close attention to the name because you may not get another opportunity should you forget again.
Discuss Interests Other Than Your Own
We've all got interesting things to say and it's perfectly fine to share these interests with others. Don't forget though, that no one likes an egomaniac that believes the whole world revolves around them and only them. Take the time to discuss other people's interests and ask them questions related to their interests. Be genuine in displaying your interest though as it often isn't' difficult to spot fake interest and it really won't be beneficial to anyone. If you happen to have the same or similar interests, don't overtake the entire conversation. Let others have their say too.
Tone Down Some Of Your Habits
When we look at how to make a good first impression, the tendency is usually to focus on what we need to do to. Sometimes, however, there are things we need to avoid, or at the very least tone down so that we don't ruin a great first impression. One situation would be the all-important business lunch or dinner. Sure, a glass of wine may seem like a good idea at the time, but the second or third glasses can destroy the positive first impression you made at your first meeting. It's always best to decline any alcohol during these business gatherings unless the boss or new client insists and is having a drink. The key to keeping a good impression here is not drinking more than one. Also, if you are a smoker, you should never light up at the dining table while others are still eating. In many cultures around the world this is considered bad manners. Wait until everyone has finished eating and think twice about that cigarette if you are the only smoker there.
Don't Despair If You Think You Messed Up
There may come a time when you did everything you possibly could to make a great first impression but somehow you feel you failed to impress. If this does happen to you, don't spend too much time worrying about it. If you missed out on a job, there will be another one. Similarly, if you are concerned you may not have shown your new boss the best of you, just make sure you do your job properly and be friendly and courteous when the boss is around. Although the first impression does count, you will always have a new chance to put your best foot forward and change the boss' perception of you to a more positive one.
Always try to present yourself at your best in terms of your wardrobe, hygiene and the way you conduct yourself. The important thing to remember is that every new encounter is a new opportunity that you don't want to lose. You just never know when these new opportunities can turn into something big so try to be confident, positive and genuine. Don't be afraid to use a little of your own unique charm either. Pay attention to the fine details in how you conduct yourself and you'll learn to make a great first impression the first time every time.

The Terminator franchise is not in good shape these days. While you can try to make a case for Terminator Salvation, the less said about Genysis the better. Yet hope might be on the horizon, according to Deadline, as James Cameron wants Tim Miller to helm a reboot.
Because some of you may not know, Tim Miller made his feature directorial debut on a little movie called Deadpool. Unfortunately, due to creative differences, Mr. Miller will not be involved in Deadpool 2. This does mean he's free for the Terminator reboot. Of course, James Cameron sold the copyright to Terminator back in the eighties. So how can he be planning a reboot?
Because he's getting the copyright back in two years. According to Slashfilm.com;
"Franchise creator James Cameron is the beneficiary of changes in copyright law. Basically North American rights to the franchise revert back to him in 2019. That is because the copyright reversion now takes place after 35 years, and The Terminator was made in 1984."
So what's Deadline's source on all of this? A 'source', apparently;
"Sources said that Cameron, whose copyright reversion happens 35 years after the release of the 1984 classic, is in early talks with Deadpool director and VFX wiz Tim Miller to direct a reboot and conclusion of one of cinema's great science fiction tales."
So, assuming this is true, what role will Cameron have with his return to the franchise? Tapping Tim Miller suggests he's not planning to direct. Not to mention he has four Avatar sequels to direct. Cameron's return to the franchise might save it. On the other hand, if it goes the way of Avatar, this might be the final nail in the coffin.
An avid gamer since Nintendo vs Sega was a thing, Joe hopes to one day be a game designer himself.
When he's not working on his design document for his planned 'Joe is awesome' RPG, he spends his time writing, going to track days and going to his local cinema.

Prayer Against Abortion: For Life, Families and Schools
Sue Hughes
with Intro from Victoria Boyson
October 2, 2018
Dear Friends,
The recent hearing for Judge Kavanaugh for allegations made against him had nothing to do with any assault on a woman. It had nothing to do with any crime that was committed 35 years ago. It had absolutely EVERYTHING to do with battle for the unborn.
Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation will be a deal-breaker in the battle to save the lives of innocent human beings slaughtered in what is unarguably the world's greatest Holocaust ever known to mankind.
We point fingers at the Nazis, and are unable to understand why the Germans allowed millions of Jews to be killed, yet we live everyday with the knowledge that billions of human beings are killed in the name of convenience and choice. We've become dispassionate, thinking we cannot do anything about abortion. Still, there is a remnant who believe the impossible can be done - we can save these children.
The enemy hates mankind and will do anything to destroy the live of human beings made in the image of God. So, he is pulling out all the stops to try to stop those who would rescue The Unborn and rid our nation of this shameful degradation. This is murder, not a medical procedure there's nothing Redemptive in it. It is bloody, gruesome and unthinkable. We have to look ourselves in the eye and say am I any better than Germany? OR am I a Bonhoeffer who would fight against the brutality of Injustice.
We have to try, indeed every generation has to try to overturn the injustice of Roe v. Wade. And we will!! Absolutely! Indeed, we are now closer than ever before to doing so and we can't be fooled by all the nonsense that's thrown at us nor allow ourselves to be governed by emotion. Focusing on the bigger picture, it seems clear what are enemy is trying to do. He's trying frustrate our vision with political issues to redirect our focus with discouragement and anger.
Prayer is the key to over turning injustice and saving innocent lives.
The following is a prayer prayed and information from Sue Hughes, the head of the Conroe area Aglow in Texas. She prayed this at our night of prayer September 29th, 2018. I was so incredibly overcome with emotion, I just had to share it with you. I pray that you will pray into this as we have done to see an end to the unjust treatment of a great man and also the murder of innocent lives. God bless you. Thank you for reading this and praying into this.
Blessings to you,
Victoria Boyson
The bloodshed of 60 million innocent babies has occurred in America since 1973. That is equivalent to almost 3 times the population of California. So we can wrap our heads around that 60 million number, just think, Houston, Texas only has 2.312 million.
It would take almost 450 Hiroshima like nuclear attacks to kill as many as have been murdered in the U.S. through abortions since 1973. Since Roe V. Wade.
Pay taxes anyone? Our Government has made all Americans complicit in the genocide of the children of this nation.
Where are our churches standing on this battlefield?
In the 10 commandments we're told, "THOU SHALL NOT KILL," and in Leviticus 17:11,14 it says, "FOR THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD; FOR IT IS THE LIFE OF ALL FLESH;"
Now we know that life is in that little unborn baby when we are shaped in our mother's womb, therefore we know that it is the heart of God that the act of abortion be completely abolished. Ephesians 2:1-2 tells us, "And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins: Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience."
God has called us to read, and listen to His Word, to make our prayers, our petitions and decrees known to Him; so let's Pray for the Repentance of our Nation.
Dear Heavenly Father, We humbly come to you to cry out for mercy, your mercy on America. We ask for forgiveness for the hundreds of thousands of lives that have been taken by abortion in our country, and we ask for your protection of all the unborn still forming in their mother's womb. We repent for all our sins, and we repent for all sins of our Forefathers. Forgive the bloodshed that has stained our local area, Texas, and our nation, in Jesus' name we pray.
Matthew 18:18… "…WHATSOEVER YE SHALL BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN."
Lord we Thank you, that you have conquered death with your resurrection, and we come now to BIND THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, THE SPIRITS OF DEATH, MURDER, AND IN-DIFFERENCE against the life of All of God's children that you have placed in their mother's womb, and all that are to come.
We cancel every assignment of the enemy against all these babies and their parents. We PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS on each and every baby, and upon their mother's and father's.
Lord, we ask for Righteous legislators & leaders, and, that you open all their eyes that they would enact laws that would protect Life, and seek to serve the weak and vulnerable.
LORD, WE LOOSE THE ANOINTING and the LOVE OF GOD over all Your children, and their parents, and we ask for SALVATION for all.
We claim all the souls of America for you Lord, and…, and we claim protection in all homes, all over this land as you draw all lost souls to you. We LOOSE THE PROTECTION OF GOD OVER each child in every school all over this land, from pre-kindergarten, through their College years.
WE BIND THE SPIRITS OF TERRORISM, MURDER, HARM & INJURY both physically and mentally, FROM EVERY STUDENT, SCHOOL, and CITIZEN, ALL OVER AMERICA. We plead the BLOOD OF JESUS OVER EVERY SCHOOL, STUDENT, TEACHER AND ALL ADMINISTRATORS OF ALL SCHOOL SYSTEMS, and citizens in our local area, Texas & our nation!
Father, we ask for the breakthrough in the Supreme Court we have been requesting for Decades, for those who are Constitutionalists and those who are Pro-Life! We pray against all evil attacks against Judge Kavanaugh and His family. We ask for all evil to be exposed, and we ask for his confirmation Next week, with No more delays, and we ask for another Vacancy on the Court soon! Father, we pray for Dr. Ford, that you draw her into her rightful place in you and in the Holy Spirit.
We thank you Father, for the gift of our nation. We thank you for the freedoms we have and the ability to speak and share your WORD. May we never be silent, never be neglectful of serving Your gift of Life. We ask that you hear, and answer our prayers, in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Directory Listings
NAP. No, I'm not talking about taking an afternoon snooze. I'm talking about one of the most important parts of your online presence in relation to your directory listings!
- When it comes to directory listings, you need to know 2 things:
Google is king, so make sure to manually claim your listing!
- NAP – Name, Address, and Phone Number. Three variables that need to be consistent across all of your online presence to improve your local SEO ranking.
If you are a local business or have an address that consumers visit, submitting your information to the top directory listing sites is very important. There are hundreds of directory listing sites, and there are many softwares that automatically submit your information to the top directories in your industries with a click of the button. This service is not cheap! But, it's well worth it to make sure your NAP is consistent across all of the directories.
Be sure to ask your agency what directory listings they are automatically submitting to, and if they are including claiming any listings manually. Some directories do not play well with the automated submissions, so will need to be claimed by hand. Also, make sure they include claiming (if you haven't already) and optimizing your Google listing manually for you. Google has many more features that you can take advantage of that are not readily available to update in the directory listing softwares available.
Ensuring your online presence is consistent using both manual claiming techniques and an automated submission, will ensure that your customers can find you, call you, and drive to you when they look for you!

The improbable rise of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign presents an interesting question: why is Sanders, a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist," running as a Democrat? "In any other industrialized country, Sanders would likely be the standard-bearer for a labor or social democratic party," said McGill University sociologist Barry Eidlin, whose new study appeared in the June issue of the American Sociological Review. "But the U.S. famously lacks such a party."

ASA speaks with sociologist Dustin Kidd at the 2016 ASA Annual Meeting on August, 2016, in Seattle, WA. Kidd talks about what it means to "do sociology," how he uses sociology in his work, highlights of his work in the field, the relevance of sociological work to society, and his advice to students interested in entering the field.
Dateline: Seattle. Sitting together at the American Sociological Association's annual conference, we're reminded (not that we really needed reminding) that sociologists do a really good job of documenting and analyzing so many different facets of our social world. While the last issue was themed "Good News," this issue is a cornucopia of sociological goodness.
A new study suggests that financial factors, including couples' overall resources and wives' ability to support themselves in the event of a divorce, are not predictive of whether marriages last. Rather, it is couples' division of labor — paid and unpaid — that is associated with the risk of divorce.
What's the best way to prepare high schoolers for jobs in the 21st century?

If you look at the "core holdings" that are owned by Institutional Investors, you get a pretty good idea of what is happening to the stock market.
The current chart is below, and there is good and not so good news here.
First note the short term action is up on the short term.
The not so good news is the medium term action which shows a lower/high and a lower/low. This medium term action is technically showing down trending action.
So, there is still work to do in order to get the trend back to a medium term up trend.

Are Traders Right to Oppose FDI in Retail?
It's been a long wait for the likes of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that might want to set up shop in India. Currently, multi-brand retailers (industry jargon for supermarkets and department stores) are barred from selling directly to India's shoppers. But as India's Parliament begins its winter session today, there is greater hope than in, say, the last 15 years that the bar on big-box retailers (more industry jargon) might be lifted and partnerships with Indian companies allowed.
But, predictably, those who oppose any further opening of the retail industry are trying to make themselves heard, too. Members of Confederation of All India Traders, a trade body, organized a sit-in protest Tuesday at the Jantar Mantar – Central Delhi's favorite spot for protestors – to draw attention to their objections.
"The trader community opposes the proposal to allow FDI in retail trade in India and we fear that it will generate mass unemployment," said Praveen Khandelwal, the confederation's general secretary, in an interview. "It will also lead to a monopoly in retail trade and this domination will lead to a closure of business establishments."
The trade body warned that if the government proceed with an expansion of foreign direct investment in retail without a discussion in Parliament, traders will "ensure that it forms a major issue in forthcoming polls in different states," a reference to five state elections, including in Uttar Pradesh, that will happen next year.
FDI in retail has been a perpetually tricky issue. Allowing more of it would provide huge opportunities for foreign retail giants and for consumers. But there is great fear and loathing among small shopkeepers and traders who claim they will be put out of business.
"Why do we need outside companies? We are adept both in resources and manpower to support retail throughout the country," Om Prakash Jain, head of the Delhi Grain Merchants Association, told India Real Time. "If the foreign retailers come to India then small traders like us will lose our livelihood."
Devraj Baweja, a trader representing the Sadar Bazar market, a popular wholesale market of household items in Old Delhi, was concerned about the impact foreign giants may have on his industry. "By bringing retail sector in the hands of a few, the prices of goods and commodities will spiral out of control and the consumers will suffer," he said.
India's retail market is estimated to be around $500 billion annually. Under current rules, foreign multi-brand retailers like Wal-Mart and France's Carrefour S.A can only invest in cash-and-carry businesses. Single-brand retailers are allowed to bring in up to 51% foreign direct investment in India. In July, a government panel recommended allowing 51% FDI in multi-brand retail and also suggested that multi-brand operations be allowed only in cities with a population of at least one million people. But since then, no headway has been made, reportedly because of differences between India's ministries.
Speaking to India Real Time, Saloni Nangia, senior vice-president of retail at Technopak Advisors, an advisory firm in India, said FDI in retail should not have any downside because "it will lead to growth in modern retail industry. The negatives are mostly political posturing."
India's Bharatiya Janata Party and the Left parties have already expressed their opposition to the idea.
But Ms. Nangia said that rather than destroying the livelihoods of small shopkeepers, allowing in foreigners will boost employment both in rural and urban sectors. "Both modern and traditional retail needs to grow in India," she said. "And opening up FDI will also benefit the small shopkeepers because it will streamline supply chain and give better prices."

I've just installed Jing and started using it but immediately come across a minor problem.
I'm using this in my development environment which for a number of reasons is accessed through remote desktop. When I do that the top of my remote session has the Windows Remote Desktop Connection Bar, which hides the Jing 'yellow sun'. I have to use the system tray icon in order to use the product.
Definitely not the end of the world, but it would be useful to be able to position the 'yellow sun' somewhere else?

Mission Statement
The SEALS New Scholars Committee coordinates the SEALS New Scholars Workshop, which provides opportunities for New Scholars to interact with their peers and experts in their respective fields at the SEALS Annual Meeting. For over a decade, the New Scholars Workshop has provided new scholars with the opportunity to present their work in a supportive and welcoming environment. The New Scholars Committee accepts and reviews nominations to the program, organizes new scholars into colloquia based on subject matter, and coordinates with the Mentors Committee to match each new scholar with a mentor in his or her field. We also hold a New Scholars Luncheon at the Annual Meeting at which New Scholars and their mentors can get to know one another and the members of the New Scholars Committee. To ensure that the annual program runs smoothly, members of the New Scholars Committee attend the colloquia and, following the conference, survey the New Scholars to solicit their feedback and comments on the program's success. Additionally, the Committee traditionally has organized at least one substantive panel or discussion group on a topic of particular relevance to new law teachers, including navigating the tenure track; balancing the demands of service, scholarship, and teaching; and effective self-promotion. In recent years, the Committee has organized a social function at which New Scholars could meet and interact with one another at the Annual Meeting. We also draft an annual report on our activities.

2018 Annual Report
The following is a report of the activities of the New Scholars Committee for the 2017-2018 academic year:
2017 New Scholars Program: Highlights
The 2017 New Scholars program included 37 participants organized into 10 panels. The panels generally went well with few technical or other issues—with the exception of two missing mentors and one very late moderator. Audience attendance at these panels was relatively low (as it has been in past years), but participation among audience members in Q&A was high (again, as is usually the case). Our substantive panels (Getting Out There and Inside the Mind of the Outside Reviewer) went smoothly and were well attended. The New Scholars Happy Hour was the best-attended ever.
Survey of 2017 New Scholars
Soon after the 2017 Conference ended, the Committee prepared and circulated its annual New Scholars Survey in cooperation with the Mentors Committee. New Scholars who participated in the 2017 program generally reported that the SEALS New Scholars Program was a positive and enriching experience. Those results were in line with results from past surveys. We received 20 out of 37 survey responses, which is a slight uptick from the past year. The survey was circulated immediately following the conference (consistent with last year).
Development of 2018 New Scholars Colloquia
Beginning in the fall and extending into the spring, the Committee accepted nominations to the 2018 New Scholars Program and organized participants into panels. The 2018 New Scholars Program has only 21 participants—the smallest number in recent memory. We can only attribute the relatively low participation to continuing decreases in travel budgets and the general lull in faculty hiring. We may want to think critically about how we can increase participation among member schools.
New Scholars panels are scheduled on Monday, August 6 and Wednesday, August 8. The Monday panels have been scheduled for 10:15 rather than during the traditional 8:00 time slot in an effort to determine if scheduling the New Scholars panels later in the day might increase attendance. Later scheduling has come with a slight downside: each panel has room for only three participants (rather than the traditional four). We did our best to organize the papers thematically, but given the low number of participants some of the panelists are rather imprecisely grouped.
New Scholars Committee members will be reaching out to a number of individuals and groups in an effort to increase audience size and participation at our panels. We intend to contact subject matter experts whose expertise aligns with New Scholars' presentations and encourage them to attend panels in their fields. We intend also to coordinate with the chair of the Moderators Committee (as we have in past years) and ask her to encourage moderators to ask panelists in the New Scholars program to sit in the audience (as a means of increasing audience size and facilitating conversation among panelists). We also intend to contact the chairs of the Prospective Law Teachers Program and ask them to encourage the participants in that program to attend New Scholars presentations. We hope that all of these measures will increase audience size and provide New Scholars with ample questions and feedback on their papers.
Substantive Panels
The New Scholars Committee took a hiatus from its tradition of organizing substantive panels on topics of interest to new scholars. We intend to return to this practice in 2019.
Socializing and Networking Opportunities
The New Scholars luncheon is scheduled for Tuesday, August 7. We anticipate that it will be well-attended, especially since the New Scholars program is only two days long and falls at the beginning of the conference. We anticipate that most New Scholars will be in attendance at the conference on Tuesday. Consistent with this, we have scheduled the New Scholars Happy Hour for the evening of the same day.
Summer Communications
Last year we communicated with the New Scholars during the summer primarily through the use of an online Newsletter. We included dates and times of New Scholars panels, substantive programming, and social events. We also included at-a-glance information about how the program and panels are conducted, a link to the New Scholars guidelines, and a reminder to look for and attend New Law Teachers Workshop programming. While a few of our surveyed participants said that they found the newsletter quite helpful, it is apparent that most of our New Scholars did not read the newsletter. We intend to revert back to traditional (text-based email) communications with New Scholars this summer to ensure that participants have complete information about the program.
Testimonials from New Scholars:
Victoria S. Sahani (W&L)
The 2014 SEALS New Scholars program was a phenomenal experience for me. Early in the summer, I received detailed feedback from a very senior faculty mentor (who later became a Dean) on an early stage draft of an article. In August, I presented the article at SEALS to a wide-ranging audience and received excellent feedback that I incorporated when I reworked my draft. I recently published that article in the UCLA Law Review. I am truly grateful for the New Scholars program's invaluable contribution to improving my scholarship.
Christopher K. Odinet, Southern University Law Center:
The new scholars program was immensely helpful to me. It is often difficult as a new professor to develop relationships with senior scholars in your field who will read your work and give detailed feedback. This program at SEALS connected me with a knowledgeable senior faculty mentor who sat down and gave me substantive critiques and line-by-line edits. I attribute the success of that article largely to tremendous help I received in the New Scholars Program.
JoAnne Sweeny, University of Louisville School of Law:
Being at SEALS helped me make contacts with people at various points in their careers. Not only did I get to present my research to an engaged audience, but I was able to talk to them in a relaxed atmosphere that made connecting easier and a lot more fun.
Michael T. Morley, Barry University School of Law:
The SEALS New Scholars program was one of the most useful opportunities I've ever had to present my work. I received thoughtful feedback from a committed mentor that greatly improved the quality of my draft, and the insightful questions I received from the audience helped me recognize issues I had overlooked. Particularly as a young scholar, it is rare to have an opportunity to receive such extensive, thorough feedback.
Andrew Wright, Savannah Law School:
The SEALS New Scholars program has been instrumental in my launch from government into academia. Making a commitment to present a paper topic during the summer has sharpened my focus on scholarship during the hurly-burly of teaching classes. The panel discussions are lively and the New Scholars Committee does a great job of matching mentors and providing constructive feedback. SEALS has been my primary source of mentors, not to mention friends, in the academy.
Welcome to the SEALS New Scholars Program. We are thrilled that you will be participating in this year's exciting program. We look forward to learning more about you and your area of scholarship interest. Please look at the New Scholar Guidelines, which should address most questions that you may have about your presentation.
We try to organize the panels of New Scholars at least loosely by subject matter and to schedule them near the times of other panels in related subject areas. We do this to allow you to meet other New Scholars in similar areas and to make it easier for more seasoned scholars to tell which panels they might attend to hear about new work and to offer advice based on their areas of expertise. While the diversity of subjects and last minute substitutions can make subject matter groupings difficult, we have done the best we can. All New Scholars are also assigned a mentor.
If you have not done so already, please make sure to register for the conference, pay the required registration fee, and arrange for your rooms soon. Some people attend the whole week-long conference, while others attend just a few days centered around the time that they are speaking. Information for registering is also on this website.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference.
Warmest regards,
SEALS New Scholars Committee
