When Suede exploded on to the music scene with their debut album in 1993, they injected a much needed shot of glamour into the staid and grey world of British indie pop. The glam rock stomp and tales of suburban alienation and sexual deviancy of early singles 'The Drowners' and 'Animal Nitrate' catapulted them on to the front page of every music weekly in the land and very quickly, they became the most talked about band in Britain. With androgynous lead singer Brett Anderson providing a ready supply of controversial quotes, Suede became the first British band since the Smiths to inspire rabid devotion from fans and near hatred from non-believers. Their debut album went gold in Britain on its second day of release but it wasn't long before tensions within the band led to the departure of guitar wunderkind Bernard Butler. Replacement guitarist Richard Oakes did a reasonable job of imitating the trademark Butler guitar sound and the band continued to enjoy reasonable success before calling it a day in 2003.
And now they are back with Bloodsports, their sixth album and unquestionably their best since Coming Up in 1996. Bloodsports sounds like some long lost recording that should have surfaced between their debut and their critically acclaimed third album Dog Man Star, a cryogenically frozen Suede reanimated and reinvigorated with the cocky self-assurance of old. The swagger is back – guitar heavy tracks like 'Snowblind' and 'It Starts and Ends with You' are fantastic pop songs that rank up there with the best of some Suede's early work. The grandiose 'What Are You Not Telling Me?' is Suede at their most epic and dramatic while 'Faultlines' works on a similarly grand scale.
If you were a fan of Suede the first time around, chances are this album will instantly appeal, recapturing some of the magic of their early work. If Andersons Bowie mannerisms and the bands glam rock leanings left you unmoved before, then it is pretty safe to assume you will find nothing here that will change your opinion.
While Bloodsports is unlikely to elevate Suede to the lofty heights they enjoyed back in the nineties, it is an album that recalls a time when the band ruled supreme, at the very top of the Britpop pile.
Everything that once made Suede great is here - singer Anderson still sings like Anderson, guitarist Oakes still plays guitar like Butler and all is as it should be in the world of Suede.

Best Robotic Lawn Mower for 2020
f we're honest, there's nothing better than relaxing in the garden, but gardening is dirty, hardwork! However, could the best robotic lawn mower help you to maintain your garden?
While some gardening is therapeutic, what if we could automate some of the heavy grunt work?
Introducing robotic lawn mowers. These small yet powerful devices aim to save time and cut bowling green quality lawns.
As we've covered a seasonal lawn care plan in the past as well as 10 electric mowers and are avid tech geeks, robotic mowers definitely appeal to us.
As always, we've picked a range of robotic lawn mowers which include a number of brands across a wide price scale. So let's get testing!
WORX WG798E L Landroid Robotic Lawn Mower
Robomow RC 312 Pro SX Robotic Lawn Mower
Mcculloch ROB R600 Robotic Lawn Mower
Flymo 1200R Lithium-Ion Robotic Lawn Mower
Yard Force SA500ECO Robomower
Honda MIIMO HRM310 Robot Mower
GARDENA smart SILENO city Set 500 Robomower
Robomow RX12u Robotic Lawn Mower
Bosch Indego 350 Connect Robomower
WORX Landroid WR105SI Robotic Lawn Mower
* Prices correct at time of publishing
WORX WG798E L Landroid Robotic Lawn Mower
If you thought the last two were costly, then the WORX WG798E L Landroid is priced at £1,284.59 on Amazon. So what makes the WORX special and worth the price of a second hand Ford Fiesta!
Let's start under the hood. Powering the WORX WG798E is a 28 V Lithium-Ion battery, which takes around 2 hours to charge. Once fully charged, the unit provides 60 to 80 minutes of cutting time.
Not only does the WORX WG798E self-charge, but it also stops if it starts to rain and will only restart when the grass is dry.
Offering a cutting area of up to 1500 m2, the WORX covers small, medium and even some large gardens with ease. The height of the 3-pivoting razor blades is easily adjusted from 2 to 6 cm. And as a result, the unit provides settings for every season.
The cuttings are fed back into the lawn, helping to fertilise it and maintain a healthy lawn.
While you have to lay a boundary wire, the unit is smart in its navigation and uses Patented AIA technology. Both enable to the WG798E to seamlessly navigate the lawn while automatically avoid objects.
Finally, there are a range of controls on top as well as an Android app.
- Can be controlled via Wifi
- Patented navigation technology
- Quiet 57dB operation (enjoy your garden while it works)
- Long 2 hour charge time for only an hour of use
- Controls are open on top to the elements
- Multi-zone mode available but you'll have to move the unit between areas
Is WORX WG798E L Landroid worth it? Yes! It's expensive. However, it does have a few unique features, which make it worth the price.
We don't like the charge to use ratio. A 2-hour charge only provides just over an hour in use. If this was closer to an hour and a half then it could be somewhat overlooked.
Another element which bugs us is the buttons. They're exposed on the top and don't sit under a cover. While this is a slight niggle, it does mean that the controls are exposed to all weather conditions. Although the unit will return to base once it starts raining, it will still get wet.
The unit uses 3 blades and covers around 22cm in one rotation. This is 5 cm larger than the two previous mowers. This means the WORX will fly around small gardens in no time and will make easy work medium size gardens. Again it's designed to cover a massive 1500m2 or 0.4 acres.
While having to set up a boundary wire will take time, especially if you're marking a few areas. However, in multi-zone mode, the WORX WG798E will navigate multiple spaces. Of course, you will have to move the unit between the areas. However, this is minimal work when compared to actually mowing it yourself.
As tech nerds, we love that it's wifi ready and is easy to programme as well as the navigational technology.
So would we rather buy a Ford Fiesta or a WORX WG798E? If we had a medium garden to tend to, the WORX WG798E L Landroid would win hands down. 9/10!
Robomow RC 312 Pro SX Robotic Lawn Mower
Priced between the WORX WG798E L Landroid and Honda MIIMO HRM310 Robot Mower, the Robomow RC 312 Pro SX costs £1,644.06 (available at Amazon).
As Robomow's premier product, the RC 312 Pro SX is designed for lawns of up to 2000m2. Although the best performance is around 1200m2.
There are more ways to control the RC 312 Pro SX than you'll ever need. In addition to controls on top, you can use an app, a website and even Amazon Alexa.
A 26V LiFePO4 (lithium-ion) battery powers the unit and delivers just over an hour of mowing time when charged. A charging time of an hour and a half is quite good. As expected,the RC 312 Pro SX auto-charges as it needs.
The large tri-sided blade provides an impressive 28 cm of cutting width. The blade sits on a floating plate, which rises and falls with small changes in the lawn. The cutting height is easily adjusted from 1.5 cm to 6 cm.
Whether you're mowing one or many zones, the RC312 Pro SX can handle either with ease.
There's two mowing modes. The turbo mode is perfect for longer grass in need of a quick trim. Whereas smart mode, the Robomow anticipates each turn and so doesn't stop at the boundary wire to plan it's next move.
As standard, it will take some time to get the boundary wire set up. Once done, the onboard sensors do all of the hard work. If it starts raining, the unit will return to its dock until it's safe for the Robomow to restart.
There's an impressive anti-theft system on board includes an alarm and pin code. The final thing worth mentioning is the dock. Called the Robohome, this handy shelter protects the unit when charging or not in use.
- Large 28 cm triangle blade
- Several control methods (including app, Alexa and web)
- Unique dock which protects the mower when charging or not in use
- Clunky app
- Long setup time
- Not great on sharp inclines
If you put the price to one side for a moment, it's hard to find fault with the Robomow RC 312 Pro SX. It's a fantastic robotic lawn mower with unique cut and loads of control options.
Yes, it's not cheap but the features certainly match the price. For example, we are impressed by the wide cutting height range and the blade width. Both make easy work of mowing, whatever the season.
The charging time to use is quite impressive. As is the dock, which really is a robo garage and will provide added protection when charging or at rest.
At just over £1,600, it's quite likely you would want to use the Robomow RC312 Pro SX on medium size gardens, but it will handle smaller lawns in no time with great ease. 9/10
Mcculloch ROB R600 Robotic Lawn Mower
With it's black and orange styling, the Mcculloch ROB R600 is definitely the most stylish in our list. It's priced at £538.99 on Amazon and so it about £20 cheaper than the Bosch.
Starting with power, the Mcculloch ROB R600 actually performs the best out of any our of robotic lawn mowers. After a 50 minute charge, the battery can provide 60 minutes of mowing. Again this flipped ratio makes the unit impressive.
When the ROB R600 is running low on charge or is complete, it will seamlessly return back to the dock and start recharging.
The cutting wheel uses three blades and covers a 17cm width. In terms of cutting height, the blades can be moved from 2 to 5 cm. This provides a nice range of options for each season.
Using a mixture of boundary wire and onboard sensors, the ROB R600 navigate the garden with easy and can handle slopes up to an incline of 25%. This mower is designed to handle a maximum area of 600m2 and so will be well suited to small and most medium-sized gardens.
In terms of control, under the lift up top, there's a control keypad and a cutting height adjuster knob. The stop button is easily accessed as it's not covered. While there's no app or another way to control, the keypad offers a range of setting and is user-friendly.
Keeping the unit safe, is a number of anti-theft systems including an Alarm and Security PIN Code.
- Easy to understand keypad and LCD display
- Efficient charging system
- Wide range of cutting heights
- Designed for small gardens of less than 600m2
- Doesn't always get right to the edge
- No app
We're very impressed with the Mcculloch ROB R600 Robomower. Yes, it lacks multiple control options and can leave edges and tight spots uncut.
However, if you have a small garden of less than 600m2 then we can't think of a robotic lawn mower we could recommend higher.
We like that it's the controls are hidden and that they include an easy read LCD display. This makes it fairly idoit proof and should be easy to tweak without having to consult the manual.
In terms of the cut, it follows it's own path rather than randomly flying across the lawn. Plus it's smart enough to see objects, reverse and take off in a different direction. 9/10!
Flymo 1200R Lithium-Ion Robotic Lawn Mower
When you think of lawn mowers the Flymo is probably the first brand that comes into mind. And so we thought they would be a great starting point for robotic lawn mowers.
Introducing the Flymo 1200R, with a price tag of £539.99 (available at Amazon), it's fairly expensive, however, it has some exciting features worth the price tag.
Powering the unit is 18-volt Lithium-ion Battery, which provides 60 minutes of use when fully charged. As a self-charging mower, the Flymo 1200R returns to its dock when the battery is low.
Setting up is fairly easy. Simply mark the area you want the Flymo to cut with the supplied boundary wire, charge and set it to work. With a cutting distance of 400 M², you'll be able to cut most gardens.
Flymo estimates that the unit can cut 30 M² per charge, and so should complete most small gardens in one charge. As the Flymo finely cuts the grass, the cuttings act as a natural fertiliser. So you don't have to spend time emptying it.
In terms of the cut, the 17 cm wide blade can be adjusted between 2 and 5 cm in height. The unit uses an irregular mowing pattern to ensure an equal cut across the area mark by the boundary wire.
In addition to the boundary wire, the Flymo 1200R uses sensors to navigate obstacles such as furniture, humans and pets. The unit also uses these sensors to track uneven ground and slopes with an incline of up to 25%, while providing an excellent cut.
Finally, with a recorded noise level of 56dB, the unit is very quiet – much more than a tradition lawn mower. You won't hear it working but you'll notice the difference!
- Self-charging 18 V Lithium-ion Battery
- Easy to use and requires little human interaction
- 17 cm wide blade, adjustable between 2 and 5 cm.
- Manual is hard to understand and overly technical
- Boundary wire setup takes a few hours
- Does not integrate with home automation systems
We had high hopes for the Flymo 1200R robotic lawn mower and we weren't disappointed. At £540, it's more expensive than other robotic lawn mowers but it's worth it.
It doesn't integrate with Z-wave or Google Home or comes with its own app. We do hope Flymo add some of these options soon as the price justifies it. However, the onboard controls are more than sufficient.
Like many users, we disliked the setup process. Even in a small garden laying and pegging the boundary wire can take a few hours. The manual wasn't very useful in this regard. We would advise Flymo to rewrite the manual. Make it easier to read with less technical details.
Once set up and charged, it runs well and provides a good cut and doesn't need any human support. This is great if you're looking for a set and forget robotic mower.
While it's quiet, Flymo has programmed it to work for 12 hours a day. This means it doesn't operate overnight unless you manually start it. So, on average the unit provides 6 hours of daily mowing time (given it needs an hour to fully charge). 8/10
Yard Force SA500ECO Robomower
While you might not have heard of Yard Force. The American sounding brand but is actually in fact based in Yorkshire! They offer a range of mowers from electric, petrol and 2 robotic lawn mowers.
The Yard Force SA500ECO Robomower (Available on Amazon for £549.99) is powered by a Samsung Lithium-Ion Battery, which provides 60 minutes of use. As well as a short 60-minute charging cycle. And as a result, the SA500ECO has performance built-in from the start.
In terms of charging, the unit auto-docks and can self-charge. So you can leave it to get on while you enjoy your garden!
The SA500ECO, like the Flymo 1200R, navigates using a boundary wire and onboard sensors. So you will need to spend some time laying a boundary. The sensors guide the mower and ensure objects are avoided.
With a range of 500 m2, the unit can handle small and most medium sized gardens easily. Plus with an adjustable cutting height of 2 to 6cm, the Yard Force provides year-round lawn care.
Like the Flymo 1200R, the Yard Force SA500ECO doesn't collect the cut grass. Instead, it releases cuttings back on the lawn. This helps to keep the lawn fertilized and reduces the amount of TLC you need to give.
Using the onboard controls, you can set the Yard Force to automatically cut your lawn. The unit also features an anti-theft alarm for peace of mind.
- 28V Samsung lithium-ion 2Ah battery
- Large 500 m2 range
- Easily adjustable 5 cutting heights
- No smart home integration or app
- Lengthy setup process
Costing £550, the Yard Force SA500ECO Robomower is simple to use and doesn't require much intervention in order to keep working.
We don't like that there's no app or way to integrate into a smart home system. Also, setting up the SA500ECO takes a few hours as you have to lay a boundary wire.
While these two points are annoying, they're hardly dealbreakers.
So what do we like about the unit? Quite a bit really. The adjustable cutting height provides 5 positions. The steel blades should last a long time and the 18 cm cutting width, means the machine can cover a sizable area.
The Samsung Battery charges fairly quickly and is more than 50% larger than others. 8/10
Honda MIIMO HRM310 Robot Mower
Costing the price of a family holiday, the Honda MIIMO HRM310 Robot Mower is the most expensive of our robotic lawn mowers at £1999. So what do you get for your two grand?
It won't surprise you that a Lithon-Ion battery powers the MIIMO. What might is for a mower which can cover 2200 m2 is that it can fully charge in 30 minutes. Once charged it can run for 40 minutes.
Setting up is fairly simple. You'll need to lay the included 220-metre boundary wire. The HRM300 will automatically return to its dock for charging or when finished.
While there's no app or onboard wifi, the onboard controls are easy to understand and programme.
The 3 blades sit on a floating deck, which adjusts with the contours of your lawn. This means the overall cut is superior to other robotic lawn mowers, which don't have this technology. The cutting width is an impressive 22 cm and the cutting height can be set between 2 and 6 cm.
With a nearly silent motor, you can set the HRM310 to work day and night using one of the three cutting options. These are Random, Directional and Mixed.
The unit also features inbuilt programmes including yearly lawn care, which works hard on your lawn in the spring and summer. And then reduces its activity in autumn and winter.
While the unit won't stop for rain – a feature sorely missing at this price, the MIIMO has a superb range of safety features. The built-in sensors will guide the unit over and around objects. As well as stop it running if it lifted off the ground while in operation.
The last safety feature worth mentioning is the anti-theft alarm system – which protects your investment and makes criminals unable to use your MIIMO HRM310 once stolen.
- Impressive charge to use time ratio
- Built-in annual lawn care programme
- Manufactured in France
- Expensive
- No app or remote
- Might require a dealer to install (at an additional cost)
If you're looking to get into robotic lawn mowers and not entirely sure, then the Honda MIIMO HRM310 Robot Mower problably isn't for you. That said, if you have a medium to a large garden or want to replace a gardener then it's worth the £2000.
What we dislike about the unit boils down to three issues. The first is a minor complaint. You might need to pay a dealer to install and set up the MIIMO HRM310. While this might cost another £200 or so, it's still a lot of money.
Since there is no rain sensor, you could find that the unit cuts wet grass. This creates a built up in the blades, which requires removal by hand or damages itself by roiling through standing water.
Our third and the more major issue is the lack of control. Of course, if you're paying under £500, then only having onboard controls is to be expected. However, for the price, you'd expect at least two control methods.
We like the overall cut and the fact it requires little ongoing maintenance. The programmes are useful and ensure the lawn is kept healthy and cut all year round.
While it will eventually replace your gardener and at a cheaper cost, there are cheaper and better robotic lawn mowers out there. 8/10
GARDENA smart SILENO city Set 500 Robomower
Quite likely our second most stylish robotic lawn mower, the GARDENA smart SILENO city Set 500 is available from Amazon at £1,123.74. And so, it's the third most expensive of our robotic lawn mowers.
So what does slightly over a grand buy you? A smart mower which offers app control, efficient battery and detail cut on small gardens.
Let's start with the power source. The Li-Ion battery takes an hour to charge and once complete provides just over an hour of mowing time. This is very impressive yet a feature you would expect at the price.
Designed for smaller lawns of up to 500 m2, the Smart Sileno uses it's mapping feature to create efficient routes. Once planned, the onboard SensorCut Systems navigate around your garden including tight space and edges to give a complete cut.
The three wheels include a swivelling rear wheel, which aids navigation and allows the unit to turn quickly. This makes the Gardena perfect for small and narrow gardens.
In terms of cutting, 3 blades sit on the deck and this disc can be adjusted from 2 to 5 cm. This means you can adjust the cut for the season and nurture your lawn all year round.
Using built-in wifi, the mower connects with your router to allow control via an app. This means you can programme the unit to start working around your schedule. There's also onboard controls if you're looking for multiple ways to interact with it.
Also, you can wash the entire unit down with your garden hose, keeping it looking like new. Finally, there's no alarm but there is a pin code. So the unit is useless if stolen.
- Multiple control method including app
- Efficient battery charging
- Easy to clean
- No onboard alarm
- Expensive considering the limited area
- Complex set up
It's stylish, can be controlled by an app, and has some cool features. However, to us, at just over £1,100, the GARDENA smart SILENO city Set 500 is expensive for the features and area range.
Of course, if it could cover double the range and the setup process wasn't as complex as it is then the price would make more sense. Also, it lacks in the anti-theft department, which is regrettable.
The battery efficiency is spot on and takes less time to charge than the useful time it provides. Gardena certainly gets points in this regards.
The onboard mapping software also drives efficiency and enables the mower to complete a cut quicker than if it was cutting a random pattern. Again this is a superb feature.
As you can wash it down with a hose, it's easy to clean and keep looking near new. While the Gardena smart Sileno lacks in a few major areas, our rating is a strong 8/10.
Robomow RX12u Robotic Lawn Mower
Costing £395.57, the Robomow RX12u is the cheapest of our robotic lawn mowers. However, it still has some useful features and so it well worth considering if you have a small garden.
Unlike the others we've covered so far, the battery is composed of Lead Acid. This means you could be waiting up to 20 hours, yes, 20, for the unit to fully charge. Once charged, it will run for an hour and a half to two hours.
The unit will return to dock and auto charge when finished or low on charge, however, someone has to be there to start it going.
While designed to cover up to 250m2, the Robomow RX12u works best on gardens of 150m2 or less. The unit has a cutting width of 18 cm and uses two blades. The cutting height is adjustable from 1.5 to 4.5 cm.
In terms of cut, the Robomow actually performs rather well. This is due to its small size and lightweight construction. Both of which allow the unit to navigate tight spaces.
Also aiding its navigation are two large wheels and a rear glide. This is a fairly inventive design and differs from the typical three-wheel configuration.
Since you have to lay a wire around the perimeter, you will need to invest some time into the setup process. However, you can mark out multiple lawns and the RX12u can navigate between them, given a clean path.
As you usually have to assist the unit by moving it between different area, this is a valuable feature, which isn't always included in more expensive models.
The RX12u doesn't collect grass instead it feeds cuttings back onto the garden, meaning you'll have a naturally fertilized lawn.
- Compact and nimble design
- Unique drive featuring two wheels and a glide
- Super low cutting height of 1.5cm (range of 1.5 to 4.5cm)
- Charging time of 16 to 20 hours
- Requires someone to start it
- Can't cope with grass near fencing
As the cheapest robotic lawn mower in our list, we didn't have high expectations for the Robomow RX12u. However, it's a good entry level unit for smaller gardens.
One feature which lets the RX12u down is the charging time. It takes between 16 and 20 hours, which is far too long. As it's small in size, a normal Li-Ion battery doesn't fit. Hopefully, Robomow changes this in future versions.
Given its price, the controls are quite limited. While you have to start it going, the RX12u will dock and recharge automatically. As expected there's no app, control via wifi or remote.
The unique drive design is a nice feature, as is the cutting height. Together these provide an accurate and close cut.
While it doesn't have a comprehensive anti-theft feature, it does have a child lock, which uses a pin code to block unauthorised uses.
What surprised us the most is the floating deck and multi-zone mode.
The floating deck simply means the mower tracks the subtle movements in the ground level and adjusts the cutting height to overcome these differences.
The multi-zone mode is very useful on medium sized gardens and the mower can navigate between zones as long as there is a path.
Again these two features are quite advanced and so you wouldn't expect them on an entry-level model.
Taking all of this into considerating, we recommend the Robomow RX12u if you're just starting out with robomowers or if you have a small garden. It might struggle to mow larger lawns in a single charge and could and up taking a weekend to complete the task. 6/10.
Bosch Indego 350 Connect Robomower
As Bosch is a long stay in the consumer DIY electronic business, it makes sense for them to release a robotic lawn mower. Introducing the Bosch Indego 350 Connect. Available on Amazon for £565.99, this robomower sits comfortably in the middle of our price range.
An 18V Lithium-ion battery powers the Indego 350 and after a 45-minute charge, it runs for 30 minutes. This means it's very efficient when compared to other models in our list. And as you'd expect, the unit automatically docks and charges when it needs to.
Using 3 pivoting blades, the indego 350 delivers a cutting width of 19 cm. This is slightly bigger than other similarly priced models. There are 3 height setting available and range between 3 and 5 cm. With a recommended area up to 350 m², the Indego 350 is perfect for small and medium-sized gardens.
If that all seems pretty standard, then hopefully the onboard technology will excite you. Once the boundary wire is installed, the Indego 350 will map the area, assessing the ebb and flow of the lawn, as well as obstacles it will have to navigate.
Once mapped, the AUTO Calendar Function allows comfortable scheduling of mowing times. You can also control the mower via an app.
Using Bosch's Logicut technology, the Indego will calculate the most efficient route to mow. As well as remembering where it has already cut. This technology also creates different mowing paths each time, and so reduces stress on the lawn. As it mulches as it goes, your lawn will be naturally fertilized by the cuttings.
Finally, there's a superb anti-theft system, which includes a PIN and alarm. Both make it useless if ever stolen.
- Built for App control
- Unique onboard technology including "Logicut"
- Efficient charging system
- Some users have had issues with the unit often getting stuck
- Doesn't perform well on slopes over 10%
- Some have issues getting the unit recharge
While the overall online real user reviews are fairly downbeat on the Bosch Indego 350 Connect, we like some of it's unique features.
There's little we dislike about the unit. Although reports of charging issues concern us.
We like the cut especially as the onboard technology is unique. Not only does the Indego 350 map your lawn, but it also makes sure it uses different paths on each mow.
The app enables control from anywhere in the world or from your sofa! Again this is a nice touch.
There are only 3 cutting heights, which is a bit disappointing, especially seen as they only cover 3,4,5 cms. This means you might struggle in autumn when you want a higher cut in order to protect from frostbite.
All in all, Bosch Indego 350 Connect while it has some unique features, the reported charging issue concern us and so it scores 6/10.
WORX Landroid WR105SI Robotic Lawn Mower
What excites us about the WORX Landroid WR105SI Robomower (available on Amazon at £699.99), is the unique placement of the blade, the dual action cut and onboard wifi.
Unlike most robotic lawn mowers, the blades on the WR105SI are located to one side. This means you get a closer cut as the unit can navigate under hedges and near to borders or fencing.
While you might expect this feature would reduce the cutting width, it doesn't. At 18 cm, the cutting width is comparable to most models on the market.
The three blade cutting wheel can be adjusted from 2cm to 6cm and therefore provides options for every season of lawn care. The blades cut grass into tiny pieces which are then left on the ground, creating natural fertilizer for the lawn.
You can easily control the WR105SI using the WORX app via wifi. Plus thanks to the onboard programmable timer, you can set a weekly mowing schedule.
Looking under the hood for a moment, a Li-Ion battery power the unit and fully charges in an hour and a half. Once charged, it provides just over an hour (60 to 80 minutes) of mowing time. As you'd expect the WR105SI will return back to its dock when finished or running low on battery.
AIA (Artificial Intelligence Algorithm) technology paired with a boundary wire means the WR105SI can navigate both single and multiple zones with its unique cutting pattern. While the onboard rain detector, ensure the unit isn't damaged during a downpour and returns to the dock until the grass is dry enough to restart.
- Controlled by an app via built-in wifi
- Great charging time to use ratio
- Unique cutting system using side mounted blades
- Offset blades increase the unit's sensitivity to small dips, which can present issues
- The app doesn't work over long distance. You might need to hover over it for the app to connect
- Some report issues registering which blocks the app
As the second WORX on our list, it's easy to draw comparisons between them. While the first cost the same as a used Ford Fiesta, this WORX Landroid WR105SI is far more affordable at £700.
We like the offset blades and while some have reported that this can cause issues on uneven ground, the WR105SI is more than capable of dealing with micro changes in terrain.
The biggest downside to this WORX seems to be the technology. Some users have had issues trying to register and therefore can't download the app. When they have installed the app, they have to stand very close to the unit to get it to communicate. Not great.
The charging to use ratio is very good. As it takes 90 minutes to charge, you won't be waiting long for it to crack on again. Plus it should keep mowing for around 80 minutes on a full charge.
With this in mind, the WR105SI should conquer small gardens in one charge. With medium size lawns being completed after a charging break in the middle.
While it might take you some time to get it set up after a few hours spent pegging the boundary wire, we would recommend looking at others. 5/10
vidaXL Lawn Mower Robot Garage
If you're planning to spend hundreds or thousands on a robotic lawn mower then you also want to invest in a garage. And while you can do down the DIY route, at £40 from Amazon, the vidaXL is affordable. It's stylish and will protect your robomower from theft and the weather.
The metal frame forms a stable and secure base, which can be anchored into the ground. Whereas the durable roof will protect your robot and it's charging dock from the elements.
Regardless of what robotic lawn mower you end up buying, it worth ensuring it can fit comfortably in a garage before buying it. So measuring tapes at the ready.
The best robotic lawn mower
We'll start with our usually tech disclaimer. If you're not entirely sold on the concept of robotic lawn mowers, then either start a cheaper one or try to borrow one. Whatever you do, it's worth doing your own research and buying with confidence.
With any of robotic lawn mowers, you will have to do some setup. Usually, all this involves is laying and pegging a boundary wire. However, if you have a few tight corners or don't lay the wire correctly, then you need to carry out some maintenance.
If your lawn is fairly square and easily navigated then you can probably sit back and relax while your robomower works its magic.
Firstly we would avoid the Robomow RX12U completely, until they sort out the battery. Having to wait up to 20 hours for the battery to charge isn't worth it.
For small to medium sizes gardens we recommend the Flymo 1200R. It's affordable, works as expected and is quiet.
Should you have a bigger budget then we don't think you can go wrong with the Mcculloch ROB R600. This unit impressed us with its battery efficiency and ease of use.
If you've got money to burn or a large garden, then the WORX WG798E L Landroid won't disappoint. It's actually our favourite of all the robotic lawn mowers we've covered.

AFP Dubai 26 February, 2016 00:29 IST Nick Kyrgios: 'It's probably my favourite win over the last couple of weeks.' - Getty Images AFP Dubai 26 February, 2016 00:29 IST Nick Kyrgios overcame back pain and stomach illness to beat Tomas Berdych for a second week in a row, posting a 6-4, 6-4 victory to reach the semifinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships on Thursday. "I wasn't in the greatest shape, obviously. I think I got a bit of food poisoning last night," Kyrgios said. "I was really surprised with the performance I gave out there today, coming out and beating a quality player and in tough conditions. It's probably my favourite win over the last couple of weeks." Kyrgios followed up on his semifinal defeat of the Czech third seed from last week in Marseille, where he claimed the first ATP title of his career. "It's tough, especially with Tomas. He's so diligent with everything he does, so professional. For me to come out there and put in a great performance like that, I just took my chances when they came. "Conditions were really fast. When one of us got a pretty good strike, I think the point was pretty much over." The 20-year-old, ranked 33rd, won his eighth consecutive match and will wait for an opponent as second seed Stan Wawrinka and German Philipp Kohlschreiber clash later. If it is Wawrinka, Kyrgios is expecting no drama as the pair play for the first time since Kyrgios made crude remarks concerning Wawrinka's girlfriend Donna Vekic during a heated match with the Swiss last August in Montreal. But Kyrgios said there won't be a problem: "Since the incident, I think we've both moved on from it. We played on the same team in IPTL. That was actually really good. I got to know him a little bit more. He played great there. He's one of the best players in the world, no doubt. He's playing great tennis." Baghdatis into last four Top seed Novak Djokovic was facing Spain's Feliciano Lopez as the Serb returns to action a day after clocking the 700th victory of his career. Marcos Baghdatis returned to the semifinals here after a six-year pause as he knocked out fourth seed Roberto Bautista Agut 7-5, 6-0 and will play the winner. The first set was a 67-minute struggle while the popular Cypriot broke it open in the second to send the Spaniard out. Baghdatis overcame four double-faults in the eighth game of the first set to suddenly turn his momentum. "That was the most important game of the match - and the week," said the 2006 Australian Open finalist. "I'm very happy, the way I ended it (with an ace). I think I started playing better and better throughout the second set." Kyrgios brought out the physio after the fifth game of his opening set against Berdych for a tight back. The right-hander, who was injured during the Australian Open in January, has been going flat-out since returning last week. He will be tested physically with a Davis Cup tie next weekend in Melbourne against the United States. Berdych, a two-time Dubai finalist, had reached the semifinals at the Aviation Club in four of the last five years. The last loss for Kyrgios in 2016 came against Berdych in the Australian Open third round. Kyrgios took 41 minutes to win the first set but dominated in the second, losing only three points on serve as he rolled to the win, finishing with a tenth ace.

Snack Review
Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Taste test: These potato chips from England had a strong yellow color and fairly flat shapes, with many small bubbles embedded inside and lots of skin around the edges. There wasn't much visible seasoning powder.
We crunched in to find a light crunch and a tasty mix of cheese and some slightly sweet fruit-like flavors. I couldn't detect anything that really tasted like apple, but I did find the flavor combination very tasty.
Shop: Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Nice tangy mix of cheese and maybe something fruity.
From the package: "Hand cooked potato chips with Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese and Cox apple chutney seasoning" ... "Discoveries is all about exciting flavour combinations inspired by food from near & far" ... "This 'Creamy' 'Wensleydale' & crisp apple chutney seasoning takes us back to sunny picnics in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales"

Rotary Raises Over $141,000 for Local and Global Projects
Annual Rotary Foundation Walk Helps Fund Humanitarian Initiatives
Toronto, ON (September 8, 2019) – Over 200 members of Rotary clubs in District 7070 (South Central Ontario, Canada) and their families joined together today in the annual Rotary District 7070 Rotary Foundation Walk to raise money for the Rotary Foundation. This year's Walk was held on Sunday, September 8, at the Humber College Lakeshore Campus and in Colonel Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke......
"It was a great pleasure to welcome so many Rotarians and community members again this year," said Michael Bell, Past District Governor of Rotary International District 7070 and this year's Rotary Foundation Walk Chair. "The Walk continues to be a great opportunity to come together as a community and support local projects."
The Foundation Walk started 27 years ago to raise money for The Rotary Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation that helps fund humanitarian initiatives.
"The Foundation offers two types of grants," explained Michael Bell. "The district grant funds small-scale, short term activities that address needs in local communities, while the global grants support large international activities like the Global Polio Eradication Initiative."
Over the years, Rotary District 7070 has worked with Rotary International to eradicate polio and is encouraging all Rotarians to join them on October 24, recognized around the world as World Polio Day and help, once again to raise funds and awareness to Eradicate Polio from the entire world. One of the major initiatives supported by the Rotary Foundation is the End Polio Now Campaign - one of Rotary's most ambitious global humanitarian projects.
"August 2016, marked the last reported case of the wild polio virus in Africa," said Michael Bell, District, Past 7070 Governor. "We are very encouraged to see this significant progress towards the global eradication of polio."
For more information, visit https://rotary7070.org/event/2019-rotary-foundation-walk/
About Rotary
Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world's most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work improves lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world.

More notes from the Rotary Foundation Walk 2019:
Chairman Michael Bell welcomed Rotarians from all over District 7070 to the 2019 and 27th Annual Rotary Foundation Walk at Humber College Lakeshore Campus and Colonel Sam Smith Park for the 27th Annual Rotary Foundation Walk to raise funds for the Foundation and its humanitarian local and international projects.
Michael thanked and welcomed Derek Stockley, Senior Dean of the Faculty of Social and Community Service of Humber College for assisting with the hosting and sponsoring o f the Foundation Walk.
He also thanks Andrea Prior, of Duca Financial in Etobicoke for her contributions to aid in the event this year.
He then called on Past District Governor and District 7070 Chair of the Annual Programs Fund of The Rotary Foundation, Ted Morrison. Ted thanked everyone for their generous donations and fundraising for this year's walk which raised over $141,000 for the Rotary Foundation. Ted reminded us all of our friend, Past District Governor and past Chair of The District 7070 Rotary Foundation Committee for many years, Bill Patchett who did so much for raising awareness and funds for the Rotary Foundation. Ted asked us all, this year to give just a little more for Bill, and help reach Bill's goal to raise One Million Dollars for the Rotary Foundation – "A Mill For Bill". He reminded all of the Presidents to get their Goal for this year's Rotary Foiundation goal into Rotary Club Central as soon as they can (3 months have already gone by in this Rotary year and only 19 clubs have entered their goals) . He suggested Rotary Direct as a great way to save money and pay directly to the Rotary Foundation. He asked Clubs with their own foundations to make a donation, especially this year, to honour Bill, and asked all clubs to dedicate some money from one of their many fundraising events to The Rotary Foundation, this year.
District Govenror Beth Selby thanked everyone for coming out this year and raising so much money for the Rotary Foundation. She also thanked the entire committee for all of their efforts to make this year's Rotary Foundation Walk, such a tremendous success. She thanked Chair Michael Bell, RC Etobicoke; Iosif Ciosa, RC Etobicoke; Cathy Borg and Terri Tucker, RC Parkdale-High Park-Humber; Pat Neuman, RC Toronto; Antoine Hirsch, Janet Harley Boomer, and Shirley Snow, RC Toronto Bay-Bloor; Chad Fink, RC Toronto Eglinton; Doug Vallery, RC Toronto Sunrise; Nick Ryall, RC Toronto Twilight;

Cardio Care ECG/EKG Recorder
The Principle of ECG/EKG
Human heart is able to beat as the electrical impulse passes across and though it, and the beat accompanies producing electric activity. An ECG/EKG does not measure the movement of your heartbeat but rather the electrical activity, it is recorded by measuring the potential difference of particular surface part of body by the electronics instrument.
Intended use
Cardio Care is a non-invasive and easy-to-use ECG/EKG electrocardiograph unit that you can use at anytime, anywhere. It records and stores electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) measurement of your heart rhythm of each 30-second period. These ECG/EKG reading can help your doctor observer your unnoticed symptoms and monitor your condition more easily. This unit is intended for use on the adult population over 20 years old. The ECG/EKG measurement recorded by the unit is NOT designed for self-diagnosis.

The Man Who Stole My Year (Season 4, Ep 6)
What's it like when the person you're closest to in the world is not the person that you think they are? 'Elizabeth' spent a year dating a man who provided only sketchy details about his life, but ingratiated himself into her friendship circle, her family and her home.

Description of 316 Stainless Steel
Type 316 (UNS 31600) is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. This addition increases corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting chloride ion solutions and provides increased strength at elevated temperatures. Properties are similar to those of type 304 except that type 316 is somewhat stronger at elevated temperatures. Corrosion resistance is improved, particularly against sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic and tartaric acids, acid sulfates and alkaline chlorides.

Mars Facts for Kids
Diameter: 6,779 km (4,212 miles)
Mean distance from Sun: 227,943,824 km (141,637,725 miles)
Orbital period (year): 687 Earth days
Rotation period (day): 24.6 hours
Atmosphere: 95.3% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon,
tiny amounts of oxygen, carbon monoxide and water vapor
Mars was named for the Roman god of war.
Mars was the Roman god of war. The Greeks called him Ares, and he always went into battle with his sons Phobos (panic) and Deimos (terror). When American astronomer Asaph Hall discovered the two small Martian moons in 1877, he named them Phobos and Deimos.
Mars isn't bloody, it's rusty.
For a god of war, a planet the color of blood sounds just right. But the color comes from a layer of iron oxide – that's the chemical name for rust.
Mars doesn't have liquid water on the surface.
There isn't enough air pressure from the thin Martian atmosphere to keep water liquid on the planet's surface. Long ago, Mars flowed with water, but it had a thick atmosphere then. There is still lots of water frozen on Mars. If the southern polar icecap melted, there could be enough water to cover the whole planet with 11 meters (36 feet) of water.
Mars is much smaller than Earth.
Mars is only half as big across as Earth, and the pull of gravity on Mars is only 38% of what we're used to. So a person weighing 100 lbs (45.5 kg) on Earth would weigh 38 lbs (17 kg) on Mars. This might sound like fun, but the low gravity is one reason why Mars lost most of its atmosphere. You could run and jump, but not breathe.
Seasons on Mars are the most Earth-like of all the planets.
A planet has seasons because its axis of rotation is tilted. (For an explanation, click on the link below this article "Why Planets Have Seasons".) Earth's axis is tilted 23 degrees, and the Martian axis 25 degrees, so we have a similar pattern of seasons. Of course, Mars is a lot colder and its seasons are longer. It's farther away from the Sun than we are, and its years are two Earth years long. If Mars still had a thick atmosphere, it would be warmer than it is, because an atmosphere acts like a blanket.
The highest mountain in the Solar System is on Mars.
Olympus Mons is 27 km (17 miles) high, which is more than three times higher than Mount Everest. Mars also has the largest known canyon. Valles Marineris is about 4000 km (2500 miles) long. Even if the Grand Canyon in Arizona went all the way to Florida, it still wouldn't be as long as Valles Marineris.
There weren't ever any giant canals on Mars.
Nineteenth-century Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli thought he saw long channels (canali in Italian) on Mars. This sounded like the English "canals", which are always man-made. A prominent American, Percival Lowell, was enchanted by the idea of a great Martian civilization that had built canals. So he built Lowell Observatory in Arizona to observe them. As telescopes got better, it was obvious that the canals were an illusion. However Clyde Tombaugh did discover Pluto at Lowell Observatory. So even though we lost a Martian civilization, we gained an interesting dwarf planet.
Mars has the biggest dust storms in the Solar System.
The storms can be local and last a few days, but others cover the whole planet for months. Amateur astronomers can see really big ones through their telescopes. The Martian Rovers Spirit and Opportunity were caught in such a big storm in 2007 that NASA was afraid they'd be permanently damaged. Both rovers survived to continue their exploration, but sadly, Spirit stopped communicating on March 22, 2010 and her mission was formally ended on May 25, 2011. And Opportunity was finally lost in 2018 in the biggest dust storm ever seen on Mars.
The "stone face" in Cydonia is a natural rock formation.
In 1976 the Viking orbiter took a picture of the Cydonia area of Mars that included something that looked like a giant face. This was a trick of the light and shadows. You can see a more recent high-resolution picture of the same rock formation, along with the original Viking photograph.
We haven't found any life on Mars yet.
Many people still hope to find life on Mars even though ultraviolet radiation from the Sun would be fatal to any living thing at the planet's surface. Earth is protected from most of the dangerous radiation by a thick atmosphere and a magnetic field, but Mars doesn't have either of these. Future missions looking for life will be designed to dig deeply into the soil to take samples. If there is still bacterial life – or evidence of past bacterial life – we'll be most likely to find it underground.

What would you do if you heard from on high, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you?" Would you accept the challenge and run with it, or, would you be overwhelmed by the enormity of what God is asking of you and hide?
The truth is, God has called all of us to make disciples of all people. God did this when we accepted the call to be baptized. It is our job as the modern day apostles of Christ to go into the world and to make disciples, followers, of the risen Christ.
This cannot happen if we continue to hold back, if we continue not to trust in the power of our own stories, our own experiences of Holy Spirit in our lives. Or, if we continue to see baptism as an end point, the holy grail of our Christian existence and not what it has always been meant to be, the beginning of a committed relationship with God.
As a people of God we need to celebrate and come to own the power of baptism as the true reality of our being commissioned by God to make disciples of all people. And we do that by sharing our stories with others.
Last week, we took the time to share our experiences of the how the Holy Spirit has touched our lives through this community. Although I did not have the opportunity to listen in on all the group discussions, Mary Parish did. What she observed was deep conversations . . . conversations as to how God has called many of us to this community and opened the door to a new, open and accepting faith community after we had left feeling broken by others. Others talked of finding solace and being uplifted when the world had come crashing down around them. And still others spoke of finding inspiration and hope for this broken world though the spoken word.
These are the stories the world needs to hear, to be shown how the Risen Christ is as relevant today as he was 2000 years ago. And yet, this cannot happen if we don't fully own our baptism. If we fail to see how through the waters of Baptism we move from being a disciple, one who is a follower, to becoming an apostle, one who is sent.
We who are baptized are apostles, each week at the end of our worship we are sent into the world with the words, "go in peace, to love and serve the Lord."
Being sent out on our own is never easy, in fact it is downright scary. But then again, why should our experience be any different from that of the first apostles. In today's Gospel, we heard Matthew's version of the great commission. The eleven remaining disciples went up the mountain where Jesus had directed, and yet, even after experiencing the resurrection, even after having had the chance to touch his wounds we are told some still doubted. Did they doubt the resurrection? Probably not, but most likely they doubted in their ability to make new disciples, to make known the power of their experience of the risen Christ.
If any had doubts when they came down from the mountain, all doubts they may have had vanished on the day of Pentecost. As we heard last week, thousands stopped to listen as the Apostle's told the story. And as we heard, suddenly a great wind rose up and flames like tongues of fire settled on each apostle and the crowd, made up of all the languages of the known world, heard the apostles' message in their own language. Luke tells us over three thousand were baptized that day.
Three thousand people who came to listen that day, heard the story, chose to follow the story and then were commissioned, given the authority to share their story with others.
Not every story of the apostolic age is as dramatic, later on Luke will tell of Phillip converting the Ethiopian Eunuch. On this day only one was quietly converted, but yet it was still one more for the kingdom. In this account, Phillip is traveling between Gaza and Jerusalem, he finds an Ethiopian reading the book of Isaiah, Phillip offers to interpret what the man is reading and then tells him the story of how Jesus fulfilled the prophet's words. The eunuch is moved by the story and asks to be baptized. No one knows where the Eunuch's story goes from there other than through Luke's words that he went on his way rejoicing . . . perhaps even changed and transformed.
Imagine, our stories, our words in the name of Christ have the power to change lives and to send people out rejoicing.
Our world doesn't need any more followers, or disciples of one ideology over another. What the world needs are leaders, people willing to own their baptism and to tell the story of love itself. We need people willing to share how God came into this world through his only begotten son, who lived as one of us and died so that we would be freed from the bonds of sin and death. The world also needs people willing to discuss how that man, the Christ, is part of our lives through the Holy Spirit today and how all of this has made a difference in our live.
In the song from the 70's we sang, " what the world needs now is love sweet love," the same is true today. What the world needs now is love, the love of Christ not the sappy love of the Kardashians or other reality tv shows, but the real unconditional love of God. It is God's love that tells us we can be loved unconditionally, that we can be transformed, and that there is still hope, because as the story says, "God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son so that those who believe in him would not parish but have everlasting life." And, that the light has come into the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
This is the love many of us bore witness to last week and this is the love the world still needs to know and experience. And this is the love we need to share with others by sharing our own experiences of the Risen Christ, the Holy Spirit.
Therefore I charge each of you to GO, to own the power of your baptism and and to be apostles by making disciples of every nation. Amen

For some, for-profit advertisements are the only source of information when it comes to career preparation.
Source: Why many low-income people end up at expensive for-profit colleges
Without reliable advice about the benefits of different types of higher education institutions and the connections between more academic courses and a career, the students in the study found the pitches from for-profit colleges the most salient, the researchers found. Many of these students live in overcrowded situations that they're in a rush to leave and so the fast-track to a career that for-profit colleges appear to offer can be very tempting, DeLuca said, even when it's more expensive than a public community or four-year college.

Chartering private jets offers a host of advantages to travelers over the scheduled commercial flights, particularly if you have a busy schedule and time is very precious. They allow you to fly in relative comfort as well as privacy and you will be able to set your own travel schedule thus travel stress-free. If you are planning to fly a business jet, the easiest way to go about it is by taking a UK private jet charter. This basically involves renting an aircraft and setting your own time, the date as well as the flying route.
A good option when hiring the UK private jet charters is by taking up the ad hoc charters. These are suitable for the light users who would want to fly a few flights per year. For the heavier flyers, there are more suitable and flexible jet charter options such as the fractional aircraft ownership or the block hour jet cards. It all depends on the user needs and the business model of the UK jet charter company.
Yet chartering a jet is not always an easy process even for the seasoned flyers. There are certain tips that you need to know and information that you need to grasp in order to grab the best deals in the marketplace.
- Use a Jet Charter Operator: Jet charter operators offer the best deal when it comes to hiring jet charters in the UK. Look for a licensed operator that has multiple bases and which can conveniently avail the jet to you at the nearest location to your home. These can include the small operators with one or two aircraft to the large operators with massive fleets.
- Use a Broker: There are air charter brokers in the UK that can help you get the best deals in the market. These companies act as the go-between you and the aircraft operators. Although they charge commissions on the charters, you can choose from an array of wholesale prices. Go with the largest broking companies and gain from their wealth of industry experience as well as great prices.
- Watch on the Charter Costs: The costs will depend on an array of factors including the passenger numbers, the distance that you need to fly along with the type and the size of the aircraft that you are planning to charter. The cheapest planes in the industry are typically the ultra light jets and the turboprops. The jet airliners and the heavy jets are the most expensive in this category. These can be used for the intercontinental flights: you can easily hop from one city to another on business or official functions.
Getting Your Jet Charter Quotes
It is important to get multiple quotes from various UK private jet charter operators. Take note of the additional fees associated with chartering aircraft including the airport fees, taxes, fuel and the cost of catering. These should be included in the initial quote provided by the operator or broker. When asking for a quote, ask for clarifications on whether that is the case. There are also, typically, additional costs which are associated with delays.

On Feb. 7 at the State Chamber's Annual Meeting, Gov. Pete Ricketts issued a proclamation declaring February as "Chamber of Commerce Month" in Nebraska.
Presented to the leaders of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce Executives (NCCE), the governor's proclamation states: "Chambers of commerce play a vital role in shaping Nebraska's future by promoting the free enterprise system" by providing leadership and fostering "an economic climate conducive to the growth and development of our great state."
Receiving the proclamation from Gov. Ricketts were NCCE Chair Denise Wilkinson, president and CEO of the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as NCCE Advisory Council Chair John Hales, vice president of the North Platte Area Chamber and Development Corp.
On Thursday, Feb. 7, the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry held its annual meeting in Lincoln.
At the Chamber's morning board of directors' meeting, board members reviewed 2019 state legislation and acted on "support" and "oppose" recommendations made by the Chamber's policy councils. Gov. Pete Ricketts spoke at the luncheon, which honored local chambers of commerce from across the state.
The afternoon featured a panel of experts who discussed the state's workforce challenge and current economic conditions; another panel spotlighted federal issues that could affect Nebraska. The third panel -- the traditional Legislative Leaders panel -- featured Speaker of the Legislature Jim Scheer, as well as Senators Curt Friesen and John Stinner, all of whom addressed the current challenges facing the Unicameral.
During the evening hours, approximately 500 attended the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame Banquet, which featured the passing of the gavel from 2018 State Chamber Chairman Rich Herink, market executive for First National Bank, to 2019 Chamber Chairman Todd Foje, the CEO of Great Plains Communications in Blair.
