Alpha is one of the best ways of exploring life's biggest questions. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Each Alpha evening begins with a free meal and the opportunity to get to know others on your table. Next, there's a thought-provoking talk on a different aspect of the Christian faith followed by time for discussion with others on your table. This is your chance to ask your questions and help each other to discover some answers. No question is too simple or too feisty at Alpha.
Over 2.5 million people in the UK have done Alpha, and over 27 million worldwide. It is primarily designed for people who wouldn't normally go to church, but is open to anyone who wants to explore some of life's biggest questions. People do Alpha for a variety of reasons - some are interested in whether God exists, others have attended church in the past but feel they have never understood the basics. Alpha is a no-pressure course, which means we won't chase you up if you decide not to come back. So come along and see if it's for you!
Alpha Youth is a series which explores life, faith and meaning. Each episode looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. It's for anyone who has questions.

We are a family of different people United in ONE HOPE and Sharing ONE HEART for the nations.
Building a community of God's people to love and to serve.
We are a church on a mission to share the good news that God's kingdom is near, by loving God, building community and sharing Jesus.
Feeding hungry people ... hungry for food, for justice, for belonging, for purpose, for God.
Inspiring each other to love and follow Jesus Christ... everywhere, in everything.
Church is God's plan… to turn you into a world changer. We believe that God has a purpose and destiny for your life; and we would like to help you discover it.
At the heart of Starbeck is St Andrew's Church. We aim to love God with all we have and to love others. To grow in faith, grow as disciples and grow new disciples.
The Vineyard Church in Harrogate - loving people, loving God. All welcome, come as you are.
Demonstrating the love of God through signs, wonders and miracles
Loving God, Loving People
We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
Our Mission Statement is to practically teach the word of God with simplicity and understanding for the purpose of eternally changing lives and impacting the world.
We are a church that believes in Jesus, and equipping and edifying the saints for the work of ministry.
We are a welcoming church community of all ages and backgrounds - a place of faith, hope, and love.
We are an active and friendly family church at the heart of the Knaresborough community.
Whether it's a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together. It's no different at Alpha. Most sessions start with food because it's a great way to build community and get to know each other.
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Usually around thirty minutes long and delivered over about eleven weeks, they can be given as a live talk or played as a video. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions from Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith? to Why and how do I pray? and How does God guide us?
Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously). It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
By the age of 25, Richard realised he was going too far. He was losing control. He started coming back to church to follow a girl and he realised he needed something more, so he signed up for Alpha. Find out what happened to Richard after he tried Alpha.
Alpha is a great oppertunity to find out more about the Christian faith. Have you tried alpha? Beth's youth was filled with worry about fitting in. She stopped her doing a lot of the things she enjoyed for fear they would be seen as uncool. Then one day, a friend invited her to try Alpha. This friend had everything Beth wanted: security, identity and acceptance. Find out what happened to Beth after she tried Alpha.
Millions of people have tried Alpha, all around the world, and it's been translated into 112 different languages.
Developed as a short course at HTB in London, in 1990 Nicky Gumbel took over running Alpha and found that many people outside of the church wanted to explore the Christian faith.
Alpha now runs in every part of the global church, including the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and all mainline Protestant denominations.

How is the quota calculated?
How is a quota calculated - I don't understand the graphs?
Keeping track of time-based quotas for tens of thousands of Outmail users is a tricky job. The way our servers ensure that we know how much of your quota we have used is simple - yet can be confusing.
We price and size Outmail in terms of Daily Emails Sent - but in order to provide a flexible product, we monitor your usage over a number of days that is dependent on the size of the Outmail package. This effectively lets you borrow from the future, or rollover unused quota from previous days. (Outmail 10 are a single day, Outmail500 and above are 7 days). We call this the Borrowed Quota Period.
However, the monitoring isn't just accomplished by resetting the count on a particular day or time every week/day.
This article explains how and why we measure your quota in the way we do.
Quota Score & Quota Limit
For each Outmail account, we keep a track of its Quota Score compared with its Quota Limit. The Quota Limit is the daily Outmail package size multiplied by the days over which we track that quota. For the sake of our examples here - we'll work with an Outmail100 which is monitored over 4 days (its Borrowed Quota Period) so has a Quota Limit of 400.
In addition to keeping the Quota Score, we also keep a record of the time that the last email was sent and the quota score was last updated this allows us to make time-based decisions.
When an email arrives for an Outmail account, if the current Quota Score is greater than the Quota Limit - then the email is rejected with a message indicating that the quota has been exceeded.
Quota Score Tracking
If the email is not rejected, then the Quota Score is updated. But we don't just add one to the Quota Score, we adjust it based on the current Quota Score and when it was last updated. So if the Quota Score in our example was currently 401 when an email arrived but the last email was sent a week ago - it shouldn't be rejected, because time has passed.
The Quota Score is updated by increasing it by the number of emails sent in the current transaction - but decreasing it by a proportion of the Quota Limit based on the proportion of the Borrowed Quota Period that has passed since the last email was sent.
Here is the process
Example Calculation
For our example account Outmail100 the Borrowed Quota Period is 4 days, and let's say the current score is 300 and emails with 10 recipients arrive (the times have been rounded here - but are actually all calculated in seconds):-
(therefore: Quota Limit = 100 x 4 = 400 (outMail package quota x borrowed quota period in days) )
Stored information:
The new quota score will be stored along with the update time (210 & 2018-01-02 06:00) for use next time.
From the calculation you will see:
This method allows us to manage the quota tracking on an Outmail account - and only need to perform any calculations when we receive an email for that account. The downside of this is that if no emails are sent - the current Quota Score will stay as it was when the last email was sent, and is only recalculated when the next email arrives.
NOTE: The Quota Score is tracked every hour when it changes and the largest of these snapshots are shown in the daily graphs on your Outmail Statistics page. If you send emails in large irregular bursts, the graphs will show gaps due to there being no changes in the Quota Score while no emails are being sent.

It may surprise you to know that many of my clients are coaches themselves. Anybody can benefit from the additional insight and reflection coaching brings, even qualified and experienced coaches!
One client, in particular, had recently reached a bottleneck in his self-employed coaching career, mostly because without realising it, he had been putting off all the tasks he didn't like. (Perhaps you can imagine how easy this is to do if you are in charge of everything in a business!)
While self-employed people have the benefit of being their own boss, this can be a double-edged sword in that they are also responsible for each and every aspect of their business. Even if you have set up a company doing something you love, there will be aspects about it that you won't enjoy, such as chasing payments, marketing or networking. As my client experienced first-hand, it is all too easy to let these aspects slide, as you concentrate on those you do enjoy.
If all this sounds familiar to you, one of the best ways to clear the bottleneck and plan your future strategy is to develop strong self-awareness about what you enjoy, and what you're best at. Do you prefer setting goals and enabling others to achieve them (a leader), do you enjoy overseeing operations (a manager) or do you feel a buzz from ticking an array of completed tasks on your 'to-do' list (a do-er)?
It is important to note that no skill is better than others. Analysing your particular capabilities and the things you find enjoyable is all about employing a rounded skill set in your business that ensures sustainable growth. For example, if you're a do-er, working with a coach can help you set strategic goals for your business. If you're more of a leader, you may need to outsource some day-to-day operational tasks.
I'm a big fan of working through issues on paper, and I regularly ask my clients to visually compartmentalise tasks by drawing a series of simple boxes. This works particularly well for 'problem' issues such as time management, when it's amazing how clear priorities can suddenly become once you see them in black and white!
If you feel your business could do with some shaking up, why not try the exercise for yourself? If you need any further assistance, I would be very happy to hear from you.

By Sikhumbuzo Moyo
Mighty Warriors coach, Sithethelelwe "Kwinji 15" Sibanda is not harbouring any thoughts of revenge as she leads Zimbabwe against South Africa in the Cosafa Women Championship final at Barbourfields Stadium tomorrow.
Sibanda, who was on the losing end as a player in 2002 when South Africa lifted the first of their three Cosafa championships, beating the Mighty Warriors 2-1 in Harare, however, contends that tomorrow's game will be a blockbuster.
Zimbabwe beat Banyana Banyana 1-0 in 2011 also in Harare but Sibanda was not part of the entourage.
The final presents the former midfield marvel with a perfect opportunity to have "a peace of mind", at least to any follower of women football but the 36 year old former New Orleans midfielder says that is not on her mind.
She says a good tactical approach to the game will be key to the Mighty Warriors lifting their second regional title.
"It's going to be a blockbuster of a final, that is for sure but you know in football there is never payback time, modern football is scientific, things are changing we just have to have a good tactical approach.
"History doesn't count because if we keep talking about history maybe I will still be playing, someone will know that there is Kwinji but time has gone, these are new players.
"It's not payback time but it's another game on a different day, we will have a different approach to it and hopefully our tactics are going to work," she said.
The Mighty Warriors are likely to be backed by a roaring crowd, if the numbers that cheered the girls in their 4-0 routing of guest nation Kenya on Thursday is anything to go by.
Full tactical alertness is needed from the Mighty Warriors' defence as the South Africans showed great character in their dramatic semifinal win over Zambia, coming down from 3-0 to level the scores and then wrap the game up through shootouts.
The defence line of Nobuhle Majika, Lynnette Mutokuto, Danhai Bhobho and Sheila Makoto had an excellent day in office on Thursday and will be key in shutting out the Banyana Banyana duo of Leandra Smenda and Refiloe Jane.
Leading scorer, Rutendo Makore, will once again be key for the Mighty Warriors as she has often been a tormentor of the opponents' backline, regardless of whether she is "man-marked" or not. The Chronicle

Retrenchment and measures how to avoid retrenchment
Retrenchment is nothing but a dismissal for operational reasons, which can include a variety of reasons such as the financial decline of a business, an employer deciding to increase profits of his business or a part thereof, the introduction of new technology that results in a decline in positions or structural changes such as the transfer of a part of the business of the employer. Retrenchment is one of the three reasons accepted in the South African labour law to dismiss an employee. Retrenchment is also known as a "no fault dismissal". Due to the fact that it is in essence still a dismissal, the requirement of "fair labour practices" still applies.
Fair labour practices are the constitutional right of every employee. The Constitution, by way of section 23(1) (a), specifically declares that every person has a fundamental right to fair labour practices. In the context of retrenchment, expression is given to this in the Labour Relations Act by affording an employee the right not to be unfairly dismissed and an employer the right to dismiss an employee for a fair reason based on the employer's operational requirements and in accordance with a fair procedure. The Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) codifies the requirements for retrenchments by way of section 189 and 189A. Employers cannot achieve a fair retrenchment process without following the requirements of the LRA as it underlines the constitutional right to fairness. Section 189 therefore regulates the exercise of the competing fundamental rights of an employee not to be unfairly dismissed and that of an employer to dismiss for operational reasons.
Because retrenchment is a "no fault" dismissal and because of its human cost, the LRA places particular obligations on an employer, most of which are directed toward ensuring that all possible alternatives to dismissal are explored and that the employees to be dismissed are treated fairly.
Section 189 and 189A places a high value on consultations, in fact, if the employer fails to consult with employees on retrenchment, it will be an unfair retrenchment and the employer will face re-instatement or a compensation order. The purpose of consultation is to enable the parties, in the form of a joint problem-solving exercise, to strive for consensus, if that is possible.
It is required of the parties to attempt to reach consensus on, amongst other things, appropriate measures to avoid dismissals. In order for this to be effective, the consultation process must commence as soon as a reduction of the workforce, through retrenchments or redundancies, is contemplated by the employer, so that possible alternatives can be explored. The employer should, in all good faith, keep an open mind throughout and seriously consider alternative proposals put forward. If this is not done and the employer made the decision before the process commenced, it will render the retrenchment substantively unfair.
The list of measures to avoid dismissals is vast and dependent on the employer and the industry the employer is operating in. Examples thereof are:
- measures to increase productivity;
- short time;
rationalizing costs and expenditure;
- increase or decrease in shifts and length of shifts;
- decreasing the number of contractors or casual labourers;
- using employees to perform the functions performed by contractors or casual labourers
- outsourcing a function to its own staff after the employees have formed themselves into a company;
skills development to enable employees to move into different positions;
stopping overtime or Sunday work
- bumping
reducing wages (by agreement)
early retirement offers or schemes
moratoriums on hiring new employees
- gradual reduction of workforce by way of natural turnover
extended unpaid leave or temporary lay-off
If one or more employees are to be selected for dismissal from a number of employees, the LRA requires that the criteria for their selection must be either agreed with the consulting parties or, if no criteria have been agreed, be fair and objective criteria. An example of fair selection criteria is "LIFO", which means that the last employee in, therefore the one with the least amount of service, is the first employee to be chosen for retrenchment. This criterion is based on years of service and not on any subjective means such as the performance or disciplinary record of the employee, which will be unfair.
Employees dismissed for reasons based on the employer's operational requirements are entitled to severance pay of at least one week's remuneration for each completed year of continuous service with the employer, unless the employer is exempted from paying severance.

MALVERN, Pa. — Wireless, cashless payment systems manufacturer USA Technologies (USAT) has implemented a nationwide rollout of new acceptance points for Apple Inc.'s Apple Pay mobile payment system, USAT reports.
The move adds approximately 200,000 acceptance points to the "growing list" of locations supporting Apple Pay, bringing the mobile payment service to owners and operators of vended laundry equipment, among other self-serve appliances.
"Our customers are excited to accept Apple Pay at the self-serve locations they operate," says Stephen P. Herbert, chairman and CEO of USAT. "We anticipate that the millions of consumers who frequent these locations will appreciate the convenience and security of using Apple Pay for their everyday purchases."
Apple Pay users add a credit or debit card through the app. Actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple's servers. Instead, a unique "Device Account Number" is "assigned, encrypted and securely stored" in the "Secure Element" on the user's mobile device, according to USAT.
Each transaction is authorized with a one-time "unique dynamic security code," instead of using the security code found on the back of the original debit/credit card.
"USA Technologies has always sought to provide convenience, security and an easy way to pay for consumers who are less and less likely to carry cash," says Herbert. "We recognized early on the potential for mobile payment, and promoted the technology to ensure our customers were ready for this shift to occur."

Looking to join one of the largest scouting organizations in the United States?
Then join Unit 382 and become a member of the Boy Scouts of America! Founded in 2013, Unit 382 has proudly been serving its community and youth members. Unit 382's goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations.
Does my youth qualify as a Boy Scout or Cub Scout?
Cub scouts is available to boys from kindergarten to fifth-grade or 6 to 11 years.
Boy scouts is for boys ages 11-18.
Advancement in Cub Scouts.
All boys will first work on their Bobcat badge to complete the Cub Scout joining requirements, which include knowing and reciting the Scout Oath and Scout Law and knowing the Cub Scout motto and salute. Once the Bobcat badge requirements have been completed, the Cub Scout will continue with the age appropriate program. Cub Scouts in first grade work toward the Tiger badge, while those in second grade work toward the Wolf badge, and those in third grade work toward the Bear badge. Cub Scouts at all three levels must complete six required adventures and one of thirteen elective adventures with his den or family. Cub Scouts in fourth and fifth grades work toward the Webelos badge and Arrow of Light. Initially, Webelos work toward the Webelos Badge. A Cub Scout may begin work toward the Arrow of Light only after earning the Webelos badge; however, a new Cub Scout joining his first pack while in fifth grade may immediately begin working toward the Arrow of Light. To earn the Webelos Scout badge, the Cub Scout must complete five required adventures, two of eighteen elective adventures. The Arrow of Light award is the highest rank award available to Cub Scouts. To earn the Arrow of Light, the Cub Scout must complete four required adventures, three of eighteen elective adventures. Earning the Arrow of Light can help earn many of the requirements for the lower ranks of the Boy Scouts. The Arrow of Light award is the only Cub Scout award that can be worn on a Boy Scout uniform.

Step 5.1: Carry out bottom-up estimates
Some top-down estimates of effort, cost and duration will already have been done (see Step 3.6).
Chapter 5 on Software At this point, estimates of the staff effort and other resources required, and the
Estimation deals with this probable elapsed time needed for each activity will need to be produced. The topic in more detail. method of arriving at each of these estimates will vary depending on the type of activity.
The individual activity estimates of effort should be summed to get an overall bottom-up estimate, which can be reconciled with the previous top-down estimate.
The activities on the activity network can be annotated with their elapsed times so that the overall duration of the project can be calculated.
Step 5.2: Revise plan to create controllable activities
The estimates for individual activities might reveal that some are going to take quite a long time. Long activities often make a project difficult to control. If an activity involving system testing is to take 12 weeks, it might be difficult after six weeks to judge accurately whether 50% of the work is completed. It would be better to break this down into a series of smaller sub-tasks.
Case Study Example: IOE Maintenance Group Accounts - breaking activities down into manageable tasks
At IOE, Amanda has to estimate the lines of code for each of the software modules. She looks at programs that have been coded for similar types of application at IOE in the past to get some idea of the size of the new modules. She then refers to some conversion tables that the information systems development department at IOE have produced; these tables convert the lines of code into estimates of effort. Other tables allow her to allocate the estimated effort to the various stages of the project.
Although Brigette is aware that some additional programs might have to be written to deal with local requirements, the main software is to be obtained 'off-the-shelf' and so estimating based on lines of code would clearly be inappropriate. Instead, she looks at each individual task and allocates a time. She realizes that in many cases these represent 'targets' as she is uncertain at the moment how long these tasks will really take (see Step 6 below).

The Advantages of early Piety. Tiliotson.
YOUNG Years are tender and easily wrought upon, apt to be moulded into any Fashion; they are like moist and soft Clay, which is pliable to any Form; but soon grows hard, and then nothing is to be made of it. It is a very difficult Thing to make Impressions upon Age, and to deface the Evil which hath been deeply imprinted upon young and tender Minds. When good Instruction hath been neglected at sirst, a conceited Ignorance doth commonly take Possession, and obstruct all the Passages through which Knowledge and Wisdom should enter into us.
Upon this Consideration the Work of Religion should be begun by Times, because it is a mighty
AdvanAdvantage to any Thing to be planted in a Ground that is newly broken up. It .is just the fame Thing for young Persons to be entered into a religious Course, and to have their Minds habituated to Virtue besore vicious Customs have got Place and Strength in us: For whoever mall attempt this afterwards will meet with insinite.Difficulty and Opposition, and must dispute his Ground by Inches.
It is good therefore to do that which must be done one Time or other, when it is easiest to be done; when we may do it with the greatest Advantage, and are likely to meet with the least and weakest Opposition. We should anticipate Vice and prevent the Devil and the World, by letting God into our Hearts betimes, and giving Religion the sirst Seisin and Possession of our Souls. This is the Time of sowing our Seed, which must by no Means be neglected. For the Soul will not lie sallow; Good or Evil will come up. If our Minds be not cultivated by Religion, Sin and Vice will get the Possession of them: But if our tender Years be seasoned with the Knowledge and Fear of Go D , this in all Probability will have a good Influence upon the following Course of our Lives.
The Preciousness of Time. Tillotson.
TIME is the Season and Opportunity of carrying on of any Work, and sor that Reason is one of the most valuable Things; and yet nothing is more wastefully spent, and more prodigally squandered away by a greater Part of Mankind than this, which, next to our immortal Souls, is of all Things most precious; because upon the right Use or Abuse of our Time, our eternal Happiness or , Misery does depend. Men have generally some' Guard upon themselves, as to their Money and Estates, and will not with Eyes open suffer others to rob and deprive them of it: But we will let any Body almost rob us of our Time, and are contented to expose this precious Treasure to every Body's Rapine and Extortion, and can quietly look on, while Men thrust in their Hands, and take it out by whole Handfuls, as if it were of no greater Value than Silver was in Solomon's Days, no more than the"Stones in the Street. And yet when it is gone, all the Silver and Gold in the World cannot purchase and setch back the least Moment of it, when perhaps we would give all the World for a very small Part of that Time which we parted with upon such cheap and easy Terms.
The Guilt os Lying. T i L L 0 T S 0 N .
TRUTH and Faithfulness are divine Perfections \ but Lying and Falfhood are the Propei ties of the Devil, and the predominant Qualities of Hell.
No Man can be cruel and unmerciful, false and treacherous, without a very high Degree of Guilt; because these Sins are contrary to the chiesest and most essential Persections of God. Lying is a Sin that would fly in the Face of an Heathen, because it directly contradicts those natural Notions which , every every Man hath of God and Religion,; therefore we sind that there is hardly any Thing that Men are more ashamed of than to be taken in a Lie, and it is esteemed the highest Reproach to be charged with it; it argues such a direct Contrariety to that which is the Rule of Persection, "the Nature of God," and consequently ib much Impersection and Baseness; he that tells a Lie out of Fear, is at once bold towards God, and base towards Men.
¥ht Evil of corrupt Communication. Tillotsox.
ALL corrupt and silthy Communication is a notorious Abuse of, one of the greatest and best Gifts which God hath given us, and does directly contradict the natural End and Use of Speech. Our Tongue is our Glory, as the holy Pfalmist often calls it, who had duly considered the Excellency and Use of this Faculty, and took great Care to employ it to the Purposes to which God gave it, and is herein an admirable Pattern to us.
The two great Ends for which this Faculty of Speech is given us, are to glorify God our Maker, and to edify Man our Neighbour: But all corrupt Communication contradicts both these Ends; because, instead of praising God with pure Hearts and Lips, we do greatly dishonour him, by polluting our Tongue with lewd and silthy Talk. For hereby we offer a direct Affront to his holy Nature and Laws. This renders us altogether unsit for the Worship and Service of Almighty God, who is " of purer Eyes than to behold Iniquity"
and Impurity of any Kind. For how can we think that' he will accept those Prayers and Praises, which are osfered to him by such impure and unhallowed Lips? when we dishonour God with the fame Mouth that we pretend to glorify him? and commit Sin with the some Tongue that we consess it? How can we hope that he will accept the Sacrisice of such polluted Lips, out of which proceed Things so contrary and inconsistant?
Against Profatiencss in Ordinary Conversation.
AS all Kind of Profaneness is unprositable, so more especially customary Swearing in ordinary Converfation, upon every Occasion of Passion, or any other trivial Cause, nay it may be without Cause, out of mere Habit and Custom. Now what can possibly be imagined to be the Prosit or Pleasure of this Vice? Sensual Pleasure in it there can be none, because it is not sounded in the Temper of the Body: A Man may be naturally prone to Anger or Lust; but no Man I think is born with a swearing Constitution.
And there is as little Prosit as Pleasure in it ; for the common ami trivial Use of Oaths makes them persectly insignissicant to their End, and is so far from giving Credit to a Man's Word, that it rathe-' weakens the Reputation of it.

Pensions devour towns
Adding evidence that government in Connecticut is becoming mainly a pension and benefit society for its own employees, the New Haven Register reported this week that Hamden has unfunded liabilities of more than a billion dollars, most of it obligations to present and future retirees.
As with state government itself and, according to recent reports, Bridgeport and Meriden, Hamden officials long have made fat promises to keep town employees happy but, to keep taxpayers happy, have not taxed enough to put the necessary money aside.
As was noted this week in Connecticut's Hearst newspapers by David Stemerman, a candidate for last year's Republican nomination for governor: "The average U.S. state spends about 10 percent of its budget on debt service and unfunded benefits. Connecticut spends more than 20 percent. According to JP Morgan, Connecticut would need to spend a staggering 35 percent to cover the true cost."
Government employee retirement benefits are cannibalizing government in Connecticut. Stemerman blames it on the control exercised by government employee unions over Connecticut's dominant political party, the Democratic Party. While the pension disaster at the state level is now well understood, if not yet confronted, the disaster at the municipal level is not quantified comprehensively.
So Gov. Lamont should direct the state budget office to survey all municipalities about their unfunded pension obligations and issue a report, even if that would risk offending the unions.
People's United, based in Bridgeport, and United, based in Hartford, overlap heavily in central Connecticut and western Massachusetts, and the advantage of their combination is brazenly to increase profit by eliminating competition, likely closing dozens of branches and dismissing hundreds of employees. People's United eliminated competition on a smaller scale last year by acquiring Farmington Bank, which long advertised its localness until the opportunity to sell out to a behemoth came along.
People's United Bank and United Bank are both profitable, so neither will go out of business without their deal. Both still could combine with banks outside the region and gain efficiencies without reducing competition in Connecticut and Massachusetts. But destroying competition is where the big money is.
The antitrust division of the attorney general's office is capable. Lately it has been a leader in a promising antitrust lawsuit with other states against price fixing by pharmaceutical companies. But Connecticut has plenty of help there. If the attorney general won't defend competition in banking in Connecticut, no one else will.

Eminem came under fire on Friday after he released his surprise album Music to Be Murdered By.
In one of the songs, titled "Unaccommodating," the 47-year-old rapper referenced the 2017 Manchester Arena bomb attack. The attack, which took place during a stop on Ariana Grande's tour, killed 22 people.
"I'm contemplating yelling 'bombs away' on the game like I'm outside an Ariana Grande concert waiting" he rapped, with the sound of an explosion following.
After hearing the track, many social media users took to Twitter to criticize the Grammy winner.
"Eminem literally just made a joke about the Manchester Bombing at Ariana Grande's concert... That is just so f--king sick," one social media user tweeted. "Y'all better not give this man any attention. People literally lost their lives, and you're going to release music and try to make a profit off of them?"
"Eminem using Manchester bombing in lyrics on new cd is outrageous," tweeted another.
Other followers pointed out that Eminem helped raise about £2 million for the victims of the attack and their families. The Manchester City Council thanked him for the support at the time.

Oxford United 2 United Reserves 2: Resilient Reds stay unbeaten in pre-season after stirring comeback
Posted by nickogs20 on July 26, 2008
|Oxford United
|MUFC Reserves
|Odubade 16
|Drinkwater 54
|Guy 52
|Hewson 75
With the hosts 2-0 to the good after 52 minutes of this encounter at the Kassam Stadium you could have been forgiven for thinking the wheels had slightly come off the reserves' encouraging pre-season campaign so far, but Reds' boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked on as his young team produced a comeback the great man would have himself been proud of. Well-worked goals on the break from Danny Drinkwater and skipper Sam Hewson earned United a thoroughly deserved point that showed there's something of a steely side there to compliment the slick passing and skills.
The starting lineup saw four changes from last week's win at Altrincham – Conor Devlin replaced Gary Woods in goal, while Richard Eckersley (back from injury), Corry Evans and Joshua King replacing first-team call-ups Craig Cathcart, Rodrigo Possebon and Tom Cleverley. Evans, making his first appearance of pre-season, took up a role in front of the back four as part of quite a narrow midfield, with Eikrem and Hewson taking up the wide positions only when necessary and the full-backs being expected to offer width.
Oxford started the stronger, and although United had been slowly easing their way into the game, it was the Blue Square Premier side who took the lead after Devlin's missed punch from a corner saw the ball fall to Yemi Odubade, who did well to volley home when slightly off balance. Genuine chances were few and far between until the home side doubled their advantage early in the second half, striker Jamie Guy burying a rebound after David Gray had done well to clear his initial effort off the line.
This delighted the majority of the 6000 strong crowd, but also sparked the United youngsters into life. Just two minutes after conceding that second goal, the Reds had one back, and it was all about Danny Drinkwater. A surging run from deep inside his own half took him well into opposition territory, and after cleverly flicking a pass to Eikrem on the right flank, he continued his run into the box and was in perfect position to head into the roof of the net as the defence focused their attentions on Macheda.
2-1 and the game was now an open and engaging contest with both sides going close over the next twenty minutes, but when a fourth goal did finally arrive, it went to the visitors. Another rapid break from Drinkwater saw the England U18 international play David Gray in on the right and his cross was just asking to be converted – Hewson duly obliged with a firm header at the far post to bring his side level.
Further chances came and went but as both managers took the opportunity to give other players a run-out, the game lost its rhythm somewhat and a 2-2 draw looked an inevitable and ultimately fair outcome. The goalscorers were the stand-outs for United and Richard Eckersley again impressed at centre-back, but a lack of width in attack (despite the source of the two goals) continues to be something of a concern. All in all though this was an encouraging set of answers given to a stern test set by an enterprising Oxford side, and should be ideal preparation for Wednesday's Lancashire Senior Cup final clash with Liverpool in Leyland.

Austrian populist coalition deal a warning sign for other EU states
Analysis: Right/far-right coalitions within realm of possibility in other EU countries
Austrian conservative Sebastian Kurz (31) feels he has a mandate for change in a continent destabilised by politicians twice his age. Photograph: Alex Halada/AFP/Getty Images
One thing is sure: he can expect a less chilly welcome to Brussels this week than his conservative predecessor Wolfgang Schüssel, who in 2000 teamed up with the populist Freedom Party (FPÖ), then headed by Jörg Haider.
Other European Union capitals, fearing a postwar taboo had been broken, imposed diplomatic sanctions on Austria. They were dropped again seven months later because isolating Austria, EU leaders realised, only boosted the well-behaved FPÖ's popularity at home.
With today's EU battling an authoritian politicians in Hungary and Poland, Austria's new right/far-right coalition is also within the realms of possibility in other western European capitals so outraged 17 years ago.
For now the key difference is that, while French and Dutch voters have only flirted with populists, a majority of Austrian voters have elected a conservative-populist alliance.
Siege of Vienna
With an eye on history, Austria's new coalition partners chose a historical venue to present their alliance: the Kahlenberg in Vienna's 19th district is from where Polish King John III Sobieski drove back Turkish forces during the 1683 siege of Vienna.
Some four centuries later, the new Austrian coalition promises to be a bellwether in European politics, after promising voters it would crack down on immigration and its perceived threats to security, the welfare state and social peace.
That means interesting times loom with Germany, Austria's bigger neighbour to the north.
In the refugee crisis, Kurz crossed Chancellor Angela Merkel by acting with its Balkan neighbours to close down a major route.
While she was furious at a perceived unilateral decision at odds with EU law, he hit back by saying its response to the German leader's own unilateral action not to close borders had reduced asylum pressure in both countries.
It's not just Europe that has changed. The last alliance between the Kurz party and the FPÖ collapsed due to the populists' instability. This time around, political analysts say the FÜÖ is stable and determined to go the distance.
Only time will tell whether, by adopting a milder version of FPÖ policies to secure power, Kurz has beaten Austria's far-right populists – or joined them.

Synchronicity Comes with Listening
Picture Source: Pinterest board Spirit by Jessica M.
Synchronicity happens when work and preparation come together to create some fortuitous circumstance. It's the right place; it's the right time. You're the right person and good things happen.
While living in sync requires us to take cues from the world around us, part of living in sync involves listening well to ourselves. This does not happen in an egocentric way, but in a way where you ask yourself: What is true? What is real? What shall be done? Then, listen for the answer.

US security pre-clearance zones in other countries may cause more problems than they solve.
Speaking at yesterday's Spotlight on the US session at World Routes 2017 in Barcelona, IATA regional vice president the Americas Peter Cerda said some airports cannot deal with the additional pressure.
He added: "All airports are highly congested. You have to cross your national border, go through security and immigration and then US pre-clearance. When you're trying to run a hub operation this makes connectivity very tight.
"Our concern is the wait time for the passenger is going to be much more longer and the experience is not as efficient.
"It is something the government has to make sure the resources are in place."
US Travel Association senior director, domestic policy Erik Hansen agreed, adding where airports already have issues with security and staffing, trying to host a pre-clearance facility adds additional pressure.
He said: "It is simply too large not to solve this issue with staffing and finding a long-term solution."
Hansen added while pre-clearance might be one issue, infrastructure also remains an issue for US airports.
He said: "The idea that we don't need to invest in airport infrastructure is a misnomer."
Hansen added Los Angeles, JFK and La Guardia airports would all benefit from landside improvements, saying: "We have out dated infrastructure from landside and airside throughout the terminals and we're going to need to address that issue."
JetBlue senior vice president – airline planning Scott Laurende added: "The challenge we see in airports in a lot of cases is not limited to additional infrastructure. In a lot of cases the airports are (physically) constrained.
"One of the reasons we are pushing for air traffic control (ATC) (reform) is airports don't have a lot of space to grow and are penned in."
All the panel agreed ATC remains an issue in the US with Cerda adding it now takes 20 minute longer to fly from New York to Washington DC than it did in the 1990s thanks to delays and other issues.

On November 14 & 15, over 70 students from Diamond Bar High School attended the 2015 Leadership Development Institute at the Riverside Convention Center. Future Business Leaders of America, the largest student-run business organization in the world, held the conference, which contained keynote speakers, workshops, and competitive events.
The largest event which took place was "Shark Tank," based off the hit ABC show where entrepreneurs pitch their products to wealthy investors, known as the "sharks." While these students did not have Mark Cuban sitting across from them, it was still a very competitive process. Over 30 schools were represented in the competition, but a group from Diamond Bar High School took the crown.
Their product, Peel-Out, was designed to help prevent the spread of diseases caused by unclean wrestling mats. The team had 20 minutes to work together and design a presentation for the other groups. After being voted into the final three by their peers, the group worked overnight to prepare a 10 minute presentation in front of a panel of judges.
The winning group consisted of seniors David Walters, Morgan Dempsey, Jarrett Hsieh, Kevin Lee, and Aishwarya Bhupathiraju, as well as juniors Cade Lawhead and Chris Yanez.
Diamond Bar FBLA members will next meet at the Inland Section Conference at Los Osos High School on February 6.

Poha upma is one of the delicious and easy to make breakfast recipe. Poha is also called as Atukula or Aval in different languages across India. It is a popular dish in Maharashtra and the people on low calorie diet can always rely on poha upma.
Poha is a traditional dish of Maharashtra. Most of you might be familiar with Kande Pohe. It is a famous recipe of Maharashtra which is very spicy. Here I have used less number of green chillies because of my children. If you want you can add 4 to 5 chillies along with some red chillies also which will give you some spiciness.
It is not necessary that it should be made plain. You can also mix in sprouts to this which will add to its nutritional value.

salt (to taste)
lime juice – 2tsp
coriander leaves
1. Boil water for some time. Switch off the gas and add the poha into it and keep for 2 min.
2. Strain it nicely. ( you have to get thick poha, if it is soft then when you put it in hot water it becomes sticky)
1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Keep the stove in sim. Add hing and cumin powder. Saute for some time. Then add channa dal and again fry it.
3. Add the onions and fry nicely till it turns pink.

When bartending, occasionally I meet interesting people.
I'm just kidding. You're all interesting, in your own peculiar way.
Last night, because it was a bit slow, I was able to talk with some of my customers. This guy, with his cell phone, sipping at his beer, wearing a brown leather coat, looks interesting. Maybe I'll strike up a conversation. You from here? I ask. He says, no actually, this is my first time in Des Moines. We get to talking, he tells me his job is to transport works of art around the country. I ask him some questions. Have you ever handled a Warhol, one of my favorite artists? He says, oh yeah, all the time. That's like bottom of the barrel. I'm almost sick of seeing the soup cans. I say, what artist have you transported that you were impressed with? He says, I don't know. There's so many. He says, recently, I held a 7 million dollar painting. He adds, a lot of times, I'll look at the art, and think, are you kidding me? This is crap, I wouldn't pay a $100 for it. I ask, where do you take it to? He says, all over. Art museums, private homes. You wouldn't believe the homes I go into. They're like showrooms. And I think, most of the time, that these people have so much money, but they're not happy.
Later on, two guys come in, sit at the bar. They look Middle Eastern. I serve them, then they start talking in a foreign language. I'm half-Lebanese, my mother is 100%, but my family is straight up American. My great grandfather moved when he was a young kid to Iowa from "the old country." I think he spoke Lebanese, but the rest of the family doesn't. We know about 40 words that we say, but from talking to other Lebanese people, they're all BS. I tell them the words, they look at me funny, and say, I don't know that word.
I go up to them, say, are you speaking Arabic? One of the guys say, yes, we are. I tell him I'm half-Lebanese, I ask him where he's from, and he says, the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. We get to talking, he describes his hometown. 1,000 years old, people live in homes made of mud and stone to keep them cool inside. I ask him what his hometown is known for, and he tells me seafood. I ask him if he's sick of seafood, and he says, no way.
The most interesting thing he told me was that his grandmother lives in a home that's 750 years old. Can you imagine that? That's incredible. My house was built in the 40's, I thought that was ancient.
Around 1:30, everyone is gone, I start cleaning up the bar, and think about how lucky I am to have the job I do, to meet people from all over the world, and have conversations that I occasionally learn things from.
Sorry. You can't do that working in a cubicle.

The textile industry has claimed a major part in the economy of Pakistan for several decades. It is the largest manufacturing industry in Pakistan and provides work for almost 30% of the country's work force. Pakistan is the fourth largest country in the world that produces cotton and then the consequential products ranging from clothing to home linens and numerous other products utilized in daily life. But this capacity has been paralyzed lately due to power cuts and major shifts in the power costs.
The industry has seen many ups and downs during these last many decades. The energy crisis in Pakistan has also affected the textile industry like the rest of the walks of life in Pakistan. Hundreds of people have lost their jobs as many factories, looms and production units closed down. The textile industry has lost an estimated one third production capability as compared to the start of the new millennium.
The most damage was done to small business owners, looms and production units. The individuals working on daily wages suffered a lot and have also added to the unemployment figures which have already been on a rise in recent years. When the looms are shut down due to power outage, there is no work; hence no wages.
The power crisis was never resolved and still goes on, forcing many of the surviving units to work far less than their actual capacity. It has been the survival of the fittest.
In the beginning of the power crisis, the manufacturers were forced to make use of the alternate sources for producing energy to meet the deadlines and achieve their targets. But that could not prove to be a long term solution. The alternate energy sources, such as diesel and other fuel run generators were a total loss due to their high prices and heavy consumption.
Now the only survivors are the bigger factories that have their own energy generating units. They have managed to retain their international orders and clients after heavily investing in their own energy production at the earnest, which has been a major setback for them too. Although, the government has taken some initiatives to supply the manufacturers with uninterrupted power supply, yet it is not enough.
The need of the hour is to deal with this issue on emergency basis. The power costs need to be adjusted, as they are far higher than the costs in the countries competing us in this regard. The hopes are shifted to new power plants, which are estimated to lower the energy costs after they become functional.
With these advancements the supply needs to be more consistent, to retain the constant production. Even then, it's a long way to win back the confidence of the clients and reassure them an incessant supply on time and as per their requirements. The statistics for this year so far, do not show much progress in manufacturing or exports which mean the struggling industries are still far from recovering.

Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act"),[1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on April 12, 2005 and on May 13, 2005 (Amendment No. 1), the Pacific Exchange, Inc. ("PCX" or "Exchange") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons and is approving the proposal on an accelerated basis.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange and its wholly owned subsidiary PCX Equities, Inc. ("PCXE") are proposing to extend the pilot rule in PCX Rule 12.1(i) and PCXE Rule 12.2(h), which requires industry parties in arbitration to waive application of contested California arbitrator disclosure standards, upon the request of customers (and, in industry cases, upon the request of associated persons with claims of statutory employment discrimination), for an additional six-month pilot period, until November 26, 2005.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item III below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
On November 21, 2002, the Commission approved, for a six-month pilot period, the Exchange's proposal to amend PCX and PCXE arbitration rules to require industry parties in arbitration to waive application of contested California arbitrator disclosure standards, upon the request of customers or, in employment discrimination cases, upon the request of associated persons.[3] The Commission approved an extension of the pilot period on May 15, 2003,[4] November 19, 2003,[5] May 24, 2004,[6] and November 23, 2004.[7] The pilot period is currently set to expire on May 25, 2005.
On July 1, 2002, the Judicial Council of the State of California adopted new rules that mandated extensive disclosure requirements for arbitrators in California (the "California Standards"). The California Standards are intended to address perceived conflicts of interest in certain commercial arbitration proceedings. As a result of the imposition of the California Standards on arbitrations conducted under the auspices of self-regulatory organizations ("SROs"), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") suspended the appointment of arbitrators for cases pending in California, and filed a joint complaint in federal court for declaratory relief in which they contend that the California Standards cannot lawfully be applied to NASD and NYSE because the California Standards are preempted by federal law and are inapplicable to SROs under Start Printed Page 29372state law.[8] Subsequently, in the interest of continuing to provide investors with an arbitral forum in California pending the resolution of the applicability of the California Standards, the NASD and NYSE filed separate rule proposals with the Commission that would temporarily require their members to waive the California Standards if all non-member parties to arbitration have done so. The Commission approved the NASD's rule proposal on September 26, 2002 [9] and the NYSE's rule proposal on November 12, 2002.[10] Both the NASD and the NYSE filed rule proposals to further extend the pilot period for additional six-month periods.[11]
Since the NASD's and NYSE's lawsuit relating to the application of the California Standards has not been resolved, PCX is now requesting an extension of the pilot for an additional six months (or until the pending litigation has resolved the question of whether or not the California Standards apply to SROs). PCX requests that the pilot be extended for six months beginning on May 26, 2005. The extension of time permits the Exchange to continue the arbitration process using PCX rules regarding arbitration disclosures and not the California Standards. No substantive changes are being made to the pilot program, other than extending the operation of pilot program.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,[12] in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[13] in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade by ensuring that OTP Holders, OTP Firms, ETP Holders and the public have a fair and impartial forum for the resolution of their disputes.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited nor received.
III. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
Electronic Comments
- Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or
- Send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include File Number SR-PCX-2005-50 on the subject line.
Paper Comments
- Send paper comments in triplicate to Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609.
All submissions should refer to File Number SR-PCX-2005-50. This file number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used. To help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently, please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection and copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609. Copies of such filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the principal offices of the Exchange. All comments received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make available publicly. All submissions should refer to File Number SR-PCX-2005-50 and should be submitted on or before June 10, 2005.
IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change
The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, applicable to a national securities exchange.[14] In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act [15] in that it promotes just and equitable principles of trade by ensuring that members and member organizations and the public have a fair and impartial forum for the resolution of their disputes.
The Commission also believes that the proposed rule change raises no issues that have not been previously considered by the Commission. Granting accelerated approval here will merely extend a pilot program that is designed to inform aggrieved parties about their options regarding mechanisms that are available for resolving disputes with broker-dealers. The PCX and PCXE adopted the pilot program under PCX Rule 12.1(i) and PCXE Rule 12.2(h), respectively, in Start Printed Page 29373response to the purported imposition of the California Standards on Exchange arbitrations and arbitrators. The pilot rules are currently set to expire on May 25, 2005, and must be extended in order to continue to provide the waiver option until a final judicial determination is reached. During the period of this extension, the Commission and Exchange will continue to monitor the status of the pending litigation.
After careful consideration, the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[16] for approving the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the date of publication of notice in the Federal Register. The Commission notes that the current extension of the pilot program, under PCX Rule 12.1(i) and PCXE Rule 12.2(h), expires on May 25, 2005. Accordingly, the Commission believes that there is good cause, consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[17] to approve the proposal on an accelerated basis.
V. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[18] that the proposed rule change (SR-PCX-2005-50) is hereby approved on an accelerated basis, and that PCX Rule 12.1(i) and PCXE Rule 12.2(h) are extended until November 26, 2005.Start Signature
For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.[19]
