It would be difficult to overestimate the effect the movie Planet of the Apes had on me as a child. Raised a biblical literalist, evolution was, naturally enough, anathema to me. And yet here was a movie based on the idea that evolution had taken a different course. It was a transgressive film, but the screenplay had been written by Rod Serling, so well known for his trusted work on The Twilight Zone. I was utterly fascinated by it. Until the most recent iteration, I'd seen every sequel, spinoff, and reboot ever made. So important was this story line that as a child I found a copy of the book, in English, of course. Pierre Boulle told the story somewhat differently. Spying the book on my shelf after some four decades of my own evolution, I decided to read it again.
We all evolve. I noticed the improbabilities more this time through. The fact that, unlike the movie, humans wore no clothes at all must've scandalized my young eyes. I would've agreed, however, with Ulysse Mérou's sentiments that humans were created in the image of God, not apes. In fact, there is an undercurrent of a somewhat conservative theological outlook here. Humans may experiment on animals, but when it's reversed, it's evil. In many ways, the cinematic version improves the story, but Boulle's telling grows in intensity as the novel unfolds. Mérou develops a moral sense that includes the apes as well as human beings. The story, of course, is largely about prejudice and its evils. In that respect, it's timeless.
As a child I realized that we lose something if we accept the fact of evolution. We lose that special feeling of having been intentionally created by a deity that made us God-shaped. Ironically, I also came to realize that those who rejected evolution often treated their fellow humans like animals. They held onto prejudices against other "races." They castigated the poor for being lazy. They wish to remove healthcare from those made in the image of God. The contradictions and cruelties simply don't comport with the Good Book they adore and ignore. Evolution, with the realities of nature impinging on our security, is far less dangerous than what biblical literalism has evolved to be. I can't say why this book and its cinematic renditions became so deeply embedded in my young mind. But having read the book again, it's pretty clear that the ideas have remained there, even as they have modified, with descent, over time.

TALLAHASSEE — The Senate Education Committee on Wednesday approved a controversial omnibus package that seeks to bring sweeping changes to the education system, particularly with a school-choice expansion.
After testimony from teachers and parents, the proposal (SPB 7070) passed its first hurdle in the Senate on a 5-3 vote. All Democrats voted against it, largely opposing part of the bill that would create a new taxpayer-funded scholarship program for low-income students to attend private and religious schools.
Under the proposal, the state would create a voucher program, called the Family Empowerment Scholarship, to alleviate a nearly 13,000-student waiting list for the longstanding Florida Tax Credit Scholarship program.
"This bill brings us out of the 19th century and allows parents to really provide the direction for each child," Senate Education Chairman Manny Diaz Jr., R-Hialeah, said before the panel approved the measure.
Other Republicans on the committee agreed with Diaz, saying the new voucher program would provide opportunities for low-income students. They also hammered a point that the state should not force children into a one-size-fits-all education system.
"Our duty is to educate the children. Our duty is not to dictate where they are educated. It is the fact that we are providing the resources for those children to be educated," Diaz said.
Critics, however, argue that private schools and charter schools are not held to the same accountability standards as traditional public schools and that vouchers are sold under the expectation that parents can make the best educational choices.
The education package includes myriad provisions, drawing criticism from members of the public who argued the bill has too many issues and should be broken into several bills.
Other provisions include a proposal to remove struggling traditional public schools from receiving funds from the state's Schools of Hope program and a proposal to overhaul a teacher bonus program that has drawn criticism in recent years.
Democrats have wanted changes in the "Best and Brightest" bonus program, in part because it has taken into account teachers' scores on the ACT and SAT college-entrance exams in determining who is eligible for bonuses. But more broadly, Democrats argue that the state should increase money for teacher salaries instead of awarding bonuses.
"Teacher bonuses are not enough to carry this bill. Instructional professionals need to be paid a base salary," Sen. Janet Cruz, D-Tampa, said. "It needs to be a base salary that is at least at the national average, and honestly, anything less than that is disrespectful to Floridians who dedicate their lives to teaching."
The Senate proposal would remove teacher scores on the SAT and ACT from being considered in awarding bonuses. Instead, money would be awarded to teachers rated as "highly effective" and teaching in schools that have demonstrated academic improvement.
The state's largest teachers union, the Florida Education Association, called the proposal "another bonus scheme."
Sen. Lori Berman, D-Lantana, also questioned whether the Senate's proposed new voucher program would be deemed unconstitutional if signed into law. In 2006, the Florida Supreme Court tossed out a voucher program that directly used state funding to send children to private schools.
But Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, tried to counter Berman's argument.
"Our court system, our Florida Supreme Court, has made it real clear that our parents have the right as to how to educate their children," Simmons, an attorney, said. "A state may not intrude in a parents' fundamental right to raise their children the way they see fit, except in cases when the child is threatened with harm."
Diaz said he doesn't anticipate a lawsuit on the proposal. But even if it would be challenged, three recent appointments by Gov. Ron DeSantis have made the Supreme Court more conservative than in the past, which could benefit issues Republicans are pushing during this year's legislative session.
The premise of the Senate proposal mirrors what DeSantis and the Florida House are backing for a school-choice expansion.
Over the past couple of months, DeSantis has rolled out a number of education priorities. Rep. Chris Latvala, the House's top budget writer for the K-12 education system, told The News Service of Florida that the chamber will unveil its approach in a couple of weeks to tackling the long waiting list for the Tax Credit Scholarship program.
"We'll have some ideas, some that we will share with the Senate and the governor," Latvala, R-Clearwater, said. "We share the same goal of serving the kids that are on the waitlist."

The History of Crosses and Crucifixes
A note from Rev. Ricky Anderson, owner of Holy Land Treasures USA
This history of Crosses and Crucifixes is posted on Crosses.org but the author is unknown and therefore is posted here without his or her permission. I think that it is very informative.
See all of our Crosses from the Holy Land or our lovely Crucifixes
The cross most commonly referred to and most usually depicted on Christian monuments of all ages is that called the crux immissa (i.e. the vertical trunk extending beyond the transverse beam). It was on a cross such as this that Christ actually died, and not, as some would maintain, on a crux commissa. And this opinion is largely supported by the testimony of the writers we have quoted. The crux immissa is that which is usually known as the Latin cross, in which the transverse beam is usually set two-thirds of the way up the vertical. The Greek cross, adopted by the East and by Russia, has the transverse set half-way up the vertical.
Both the Latin and Greek crosses play an important part in the decorative styles of church buildings during the fourth and subsequent centuries. The church of Santa Croce at Ravenna, is in the form of a Latin cross; and on the pillars of a church built by Bishop Paulinus at Tyre in the fourth century the cross is carved in the Latin way. The facade of the Catholicon at Athens shows a large Latin cross. And this style of cross was adopted by West and East until the schism occurred between the two churches. Indeed, at Constantinople the church of the Apostles, the first church of St. Sophia, consecrated by Constantine, those of the monastery of St. John at Studium, of St. Demetrius at Salonica, of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, as well as many churches at Athens, are in the form of the Latin cross. Crosses appear in the decorations of capitals, balustrades, and mosaics. In the far-off lands of the Picts, the Bretons, and the Saxons, it was carved on stones and rocks, with elaborate and complex Runic decorations. And even in the Catholicon at Athens, crosses no less lavishly ornamented are to be found.
The cross also played an important part in heraldry and diplomatic science. The former does not directly come within our scope; of the second we shall give the briefest outlines. Crosses are to be found on documents of early medieval times and, being placed at the head of a deed, were equivalent to an invocation of heaven, whether they were plain or ornamental crosses. They were at times placed before signatures, and they have even been equilavalent to signatures in themselves. Indeed, from the tenth century we find, under contracts, rough made crosses that have all the appearance of being intended as signatures. In our own day the cross is reserved as the attestation-mark of illiterate people. A cross was characteristic of the signature of Apostolic notaries, but this was carefully designed, not rapidly written. In the early Middle Ages crosses were decorated with even greater splendor. In the center were to be seen medallions representing the Lamb of God, Christ, or the saints. Such is the case in the Velletri cross and that which Justin II gave to St. Peter's, mentioned above, and again in the silver cross of Agnello at Ravenna. All this kind of decoration displays the substitution of some more or less complete symbol for the figure of Christ on the cross.
Another symbol which has been connected with the cross is the ansated cross (crux ansata) of the ancient Egyptians, wrongly called the "ansated key of the Nile". It often appears as a symbolic sign in the hands of the goddess Sekhet. From the earliest times also it appears among the hieroglyphic signs symbolic of life or of the living, and was transliterated into Greek as Anse (Ansa). But the meaning of this sign is very obscure. We may add that some have claimed to find the cross on Grecian monuments in the letter (chi), which, sometimes in conjunction with (rho), represented on coins the initial letters of the Greek word chrysoun, "gold", or other words indicative of the value of the coin, or the name of the coiner.
The Processional Cross
In the Russian Church the conventional form in which the cross is usually shown is in fact a 3 barred cross, of which the upper bar represents the title of the cross, the second the arms, and the lowest, which is always inclined at an angle, the foot-rest. In England it may be said that in the early years of Elizabeth's reign a clean sweep was made of the crosses so long venerated by the people. All the roods were ordered to be pulled down, and the crosses were removed from the altars, or rather the communion tables which replaced the altars. The only check in this movement was the fact that the queen herself, for some rather obscure reason, insisted at first on retaining the Crucifix in her own private chapel. The presence of a Crucifix or even a plain cross upon the altar was long held to be illegal in virtue of the "Ornaments Rubrics". In recent years, however, there has been a notable reaction, and crosses, or even Crucifixes, are quite commonly seen upon the altar of Anglican churches. Again, in the reredos recently erected in St. Paul's Cathedral in London a large Crucifix, with the figures of St. Mary and St. John, forms the most conspicuous feature. In Lutheran churches there has always been much tolerance for the Crucifix either upon or behind the altar.
Cross Quotes from the Holy Bible:

"might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross" Eph., ii, 16 "For many walk . . . enemies of the cross of Christ" Phil., iii 18 "Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world". Gal., vi, 14

A Crucifix (from Latin cruci fixus, meaning "one fixed to a cross") is a cross with a representation of Jesus' body, or corpus. It is a principal symbol of the Christian religion, primarily used in the Catholic, Anglican, and Eastern Orthodox Churches. It emphasizes Christ's sacrifice, His death by crucifixion, his subsequent resurrection, and the grace and rebirth that he offers to believers. This history of the Crucifix goes back to the beginning of Christianity, and Christ's death on the cross. However, it was originally seen as a grotesque symbol, a sign of death. It was only over time that the Crucifix, through its many phases, was imbued with the meanings it now holds for Christian believers.
The Crucifix is a reminder of the trials and tribulations that human beings face and the hope that comes from the redemption offered through Christ's death on the cross to those who believe. It is a fusion of art and faith, and has been a consistent symbol of Catholicism for over 1500 years.
A cross is a geometrical figure consisting of two lines or bars perpendicular to each other, dividing one or two of the lines in half. The lines usually run vertically and horizontally; if they run diagonally, the design is technically termed a saltire.
The word cross was introduced to English in the 10th century as the term for the instrument of the torturous execution of Christ, ultimately from Latin crux, via Old Irish cros. The word can nowadays refer to the geometrical shape unrelated to its Christian significance. The Latin Crux (translating Greek stauros) was a Roman torture device used for crucifixion.
As emblems and symbols
These crosses are ones used primarily or exclusively in heraldry and do not necessarily have any special meanings commonly associated with them. Not all the crosses of heraldry and the crosses with commonly known contexts are listed below.
In flags
Several flags have crosses, including all the nations of Scandinavia, whose crosses are known as Scandinavian crosses, and many nations in the Southern Hemisphere, which incorporate the Southern Cross. The Flag of Switzerland since the 17th century has displayed an equilateral cross in a square (the only square flag of a sovereign state apart from the Flag of the Vatican City); the Red Cross emblem was based on the Swiss flag.

The following article is an excellent article written in 1998 by The Rev. Paul McCain of St. Louis, MO. Many Christians take offense at the Crucifix and we feel that the Rev. McCain addresses this subject very well.
On Crucifixes
December 21, 1998
Greetings all,
I was asked a question recently re. the use of the crucifix in Lutheran churches, and decided to compose an answer that might be an "all purpose" response to future questions about the crucifix. The Synod's Church Information Center is adding it to the "FAQ" they maintain on the WWW site.
Q. Question: Is the use of crucifixes a Roman Catholic practice? Doesn't the empty cross provide a better symbol for Lutherans? How does the LCMS feel about using a crucifix in church? [Note: A crucifix is a cross with a statue of the crucified Christ on it, also called a Corpus].
A. A common misunderstanding among some some Lutherans is the opinion that a crucifix, or the use of a crucifix, is a "Roman Catholic" practice. The history of Lutheranism demonstrates that the crucifix was a regular and routine feature of Lutheran worship and devotional life during Luther's lifetime and during the period of Lutheran Orthdoxy. It was also the case among the founding fathers of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. If you were to visit most of the original congregations of the LCMS here in the United States you would find lovely crucifixes adorning their altars, and in addition, beautiful statues on the altar of Christ and the four evangelists, or other such scenes. There is nothing uniquely Roman Catholic about this. Many Lutherans and Lutheran congregations use crucifixes. Crucifixes are used in the chapels of both of our seminaries.
Lutheranism has always considered the crucifix to be a powerful reminder of the sacrifice our Lord Jesus made for us and our salvation, on the cross. A crucifix vividly brings to mind the Apostle Paul's divinely inspired words, "We preach Christ and Him crucified" (1 Cor. 1:23).
Interestingly enough, while there is certainly nothing "wrong" with an "empty" cross, the practice of using an "empty cross" on a Lutheran congregation's altar comes more from non-Lutheran sources. At the time of the Reformation there was conflict between Lutherans and Reformed Christians over the proper place of pictures, images, statues and the like in the church. Lutherans stood with historic Christendom in realizing that such art in the church was not wrong, and was a great aid for helping to focus devotional thoughts on the truths of the Word of God, no greater truth can be found that the death of Jesus Christ our Lord for the world's salvation.
The "empty cross" is not a symbol of Christ's resurrection, as some say, for the fact is that the cross would have been empty regardless of whether or not Christ had risen from the grave. The point to be kept clear here is that both an "empty cross" and a crucifix, symbolize the same thing: the death of Christ our Lord for the salvation of the world. Many feel that the crucifix symbolizes this truth more clearly and strikingly. That has been the traditional opinion of historic Lutheranism, until the last fifty years ago, due to the influence we will now mention.
Some Lutherans began to move away from crucifixes during the age of Lutheran Pietism, which rejected much of Lutheran doctrine and consequently many Lutheran worship practices. At the time, Lutheran Pietists, contrary to the clear postion of Luther and the earlier Lutherns, held that symbols such as the crucifix were wrong. This was never the view of historic Lutheranism. Here in America, Lutherans have always felt a certain pressure to "fit in" with the Reformed Christianity that predominates much of the Protestant church here. Thus, for some Lutherans this meant doing away with things such as crucifixes, and vestments, and other traditional forms of Lutheran worship and piety. It is sad when some Lutherans are made to feel embarrassed about their Lutheranism by members of churches that teach the Word of God in error and who do not share Lutheanism's clear confession and practice of the full truth of the Word of God.
Lutheranism has always recognized that the use of any symbol (even the empty cross) can become an idolatrous practice, if in any way people are led to believe there is "power in the cross" or that a picture or representation of a cross has some sort of ability, in itself, to bring us into relationship with Christ and His Gospel. Any of God's good gifts can be turned against Him in this life and become an end in themselves.
Lutherans have never believed that banning or limiting proper artwork in the church is the way to prevent its improper use. Rather, we believe that proper teaching and right use is the best way, and the way that is in keeping with the gift of freedom we have in Christ to use all things to the glory and honor of God. Thus, many Lutherans use and enjoy the crucifix as a meaningful reminder of our Lord's suffering and death. It might interest you to know that our Synod's president has a beautiful crucifix adorning the wall of his office, constantly reminding him and visitors to his office of the great love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In short, and this is the most important point of all: there is nothing contrary to God's Holy Word, or our Lutheran Confessions, about the proper use of the crucifix, just as there is nothing wrong with the proper use of an empty cross, or any other church symbol by which we are reminded of the great things God has done for us. We need to guard against quickly dismissing out of hand practices that we believe are "too Roman Catholic" before we more adequately explore their use and history in our own church.
In Christian freedom, we use either the crucifix or an empty cross and should not judge or condemn one another for using either nor not using either symbol of our Lord's sacrifice for our sins.

Hi, is there any additional cost on top of the pricing for the s4 mini non camera when recontracting?
I have went down to the outlet at Tampines. From what the CSO told me is only for signups or recontract. I've been a starhub user for over 6 years. However i've lost my mobile recently. Do you have any idea when will the phone be sold at a retail price instead of a signup?
Can I do a new sign up on a corporate rate for this S4 mini phone?
I hope there are still stocks available....

A Love Relationship
I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began (John 17:4-5)
Jesus is not acting out of duty, identity, and responsibility to the Father's will. He gives us a more personal sense of His motivation — the act is out of love for his "Abba Father". There's an awareness that Dad's watching His life and relating to Him as a Dad.
Jesus Christ loved His exclusive relationship with the Father and the fact that no one knew Him better. He prided Himself on the limited access to their personal relationship. The ground was sacred. They shared a deep and satisfying connection unique just to them. What made it special was the inside knowledge of the other. No human being would ever know Jesus as intimately as the Father and vice versa. This dynamic was and never will be divulged, diminished, or distilled for anyone. God's man is ushered by Christ into this same exclusive relationship with the Father, to possess and treasure a unique bond with the Father just as He did. "No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.' (Matthew 11:27)
That's you, God's man. Have you realized your intimate relationship to the Father?
Father, Help me to realize the intimate love you have for me.

Yo Ice. It's so Sad to see the old Kaipara Co-operative Diary Co in such a dreadful stateReplyDelete
The top photo is where the reception area used to be along with a fantastic 1950's curved glass exterior which was smashed by vandals
The Dairy Company was quite successful during its heydays. At one point during the late seventies and early eighties the Dairy Company ventured into the Margarine building an edible oils factory which is adjacent to the building. River Valley Margarine was the brand the KDC marketed and for a while it did quite well. Then disaster struck with the change of economic situation and the edible oils factory was closed down sometime around 1984 or 85 perhaps earlier I would again need to check with Roi since he used to work for the KDC. The KDC also owned the local small supermarket and sold farm supply goods as well. That is now the RD1 shop. The KDC also had a large workshop and maintenance area sited across the other side of Mill Rd. Fred Day of Helensville Timber bought part of the site and revamped the entire building into Helensville ITM around 2001 or so. I'm not quite exact on the date there. From there Fred and Anne day sold out to Mitre 10 which is now on the current site. Kelvin Paton of Steelpac Buildings purchased the rest of the workshop site sometime during the late 1980's and operated from the large steel warehouse building until around 2002. It was then sold I think to Stokes Transport or Dave Swale Contractors. I would again need to ask the people directly.
The Kaipara Co-operative Dairy Company was closed completely around 1987 and taken over by NZ Dairy. The buildings now surplus were sold to Martec Industries who attempted to run a fruit juicing operation there and failed on two occasions. Finally the company was put into liquidation as I recall in 1989 and the machinery within the KDC completely stripped out and sold off. The building was again sold and has had a number of owners since. It has been at one stage leased by Helensville Railway Trust then run by Arnold Gosling. Sadly Arnold passed away some years ago. Arnold fought for the preservation of the Helensville Railway Station and thanks to his perseverance it still remains alongside the railway tracks.
The KDC Supply store became Anchormart on one side and the grocery business was sold as a separate going concern. Eventually with the opening of the Woolworth supermarket the Fou Square store could no longer complete. The last owners sold the lease to RD1 (owned by Fonterra) which has operated since.
One last thing to note. The KDC also built a house for the Dairy Company Manager in the 1950's, The house is situated right on the corner of Puriri Street opposite the church on the other side of the same street. It's been sold of course several times since the KDC closure but a typical design of its era.
And on a final note. When the KDC closed down it nearly killed the township. Sad but a fact of progress.
Hope that helps at least a little bit
Oh and I think the area where the reception part is has a date above the door way saying 1952 or 1953. Hard not to forget something I go to know so well over nineteen years of living in Helensville.
The date over the word "Wakefield" in the photo is 1937. This is something I can't tie in with the Helensville history I have here, unless it means the mid 1930s alterations and additions.ReplyDelete
The site was a that of a pa, initially, and later one of the early sawmills. Lots of history, there. Thanks for the info, my friend.
I used to drive milk tankers for the KDC. I started with a TK Bedford.ReplyDelete
One of the upstairs parts of the building was rented as a private residence for a time in the late 80s early 90s...my family lived there...huge metal stairs used to go up the outside to our door...or you could enter by the internal stairwell...ReplyDelete
I lived here with my family as a child...either the late 80s or 90s it must have been rented as a private rental...there was a big glass door at the bottom off of a gravel car park that opened into a stairwell that led up to our house there was also a big metal staircase that went up the outside of the building that led to a big metal door...there were a few abandoned rail cars just next to the building...ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi there, do you happen to know if the factory still stands? I'm interested in doing some filming there, but I don't know who to get in touch with about permission. I also can't find the exact address online. I know some demolition happened about 4 or 5 years ago, but is there any part of it that is still there? Would really appreciate a lead on this! Thank you! :)Delete
Contact the Helensville museum. They have a website ...Delete
Yes it still stands, the shell anyway. It's on the main road leading into Helensville from the Parakai end. Don't know who to contact tho.ReplyDelete

Grrrrr… that's shocking.
I can't believe that these Three won't let you fix that for them. Maybe I'll just Google some coding stuff and roll some app stuff out to millions of customers to stop them doing the same thing over and over and over without ever thinking of stopping… or maybe upgrading to keep with the pace of technology change.
Makes your blood boil really doesn't it?
- Ian Walsh
So you signed a contract, forgot about it and somehow that's Three's fault? Loads of people have phones/ contacts that are for emergency* and rarely used.
30 days notice on a rolling month contract sounds like, well, a month right?
If you don't pay that's breach of contract and so yeah, Three can get paid. That's how these things work.
*yeah yeah yeah of course there's a data outage right now but in an emergency you're not gonna email an ambulance after you?

The 3 service in Twickenham is totally down on several SIM cards and devices. This has been lasting since the beginning of the week + happened several times last month for several days! This company are just liars, the only thing they want is picking you with fake promises, then they absolutely don't care to cut 100% of the service without even telling you in advance! I lost so much precious time for work because of this catastrophic service over the last several weeks. Even the night now they cut it!!!! I am boiling!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 2GB data SIM card in my s10 plus. I've opened the 3 app, and it's saying that I have 1.9 GB left, but there's a message saying I need to buy an add on. If there's a problem with 3, would that be why the app is playing up? I've spoken to them on chat, and he said that I definitely have data left, and that I've hardly used any!
- e andrews
can anyone tell me if three data sim is down in dorset please
- Dj
Only 50kb (not mb) on Three 4G in Inverness.!! Useless – but in same house O2 gives 8mb on 4G.
- Keith
East Anglia 5mbps max on 4g
- Keith
Called Three
5mbps iand below is normal and ok according three tech
Tried everything
I believe that the 4g network for three is beyond capacity now
This happened with 3g to 4g
You tube works and thats that according to Three!
- Keith
5mbps is normal and ok

Can`t begin to relate how disgusted I am with Three at the moment. I`ve just tried to cancel a rolling one month broadband only sim which I`ve had, but haven`t used for 5 years..I`d forgotten I even had it… (For 5 years I`ve paid £7.50 a month for something I`ve hardly ever used), I was told (quite haughtily by a very rude indian rep), that I need to give them 30 days notice and pay a FURTHER payment, (despite me explaining that I don`t use it,and wouldn`t be using it, and had now destroyed the sim). He first went through all his cue cards telling me what a "wonderful customer" I was, and how VALUED my custom was, in his folorn attempt to stop me from cancelling. He didn`t listen to a damned word I said. I cancelled the direct debit with my bank thinking that that would be the end of it… but apparently not. Did you know that even if you cancel your means of payment, these leeches can STILL take money from your account by presenting the bank with the contract? – (That shook my faith in the bank also btw). After learning this from the bank rep, I rang Three back to pay them their damned charge only to be told "sorry the system is down". I really don`t understand the attitude of Three, their treatment of customers is hardly conducive to gaining my custom in the future. To be honest I am now determined never to use them again. Horrible grasping firm.

Apart from the dreadul coverage… (another story…), heres a sorry tale.
I have a three sim in an older 3G ipad mini, & It seems now that with recent updates, that there is NO Three app that is compatible with this older model. The old app will only open to a locked screen telling you to "update now", clicking that, sends you to the app store where you find there IS no option to "upgrade now", just an `open` button which sends you back to the locked screen, and its message. Uninstalling and re-installing the app just re-installs the same obsolete app, and its "upgrade now" message….
Come on Three, this is elementary programming… how hard is it to filter out the older machines and turn off that dumb message? did you suddenly decide to piss off all your customers with older ipads? (and presumably older iphones too as they use the same operating system)?
Why disable the working app, if you`re offering no viable alternative?
Heres one customer who will be cancelling his payments and using another carrier, enough is enough.
- Sonia Smith
I'm with id mobile on three network since monday have not been able to receive or make calls, id keep telling me to restart phone, take sim out put it back in bla bla.
Can't get any answers as to why my signal strength is now only 2 bars yet partner on O2 is experiencing NO problems.

Hi, I have had terrible days for years where I can't even get one page opened or hours, it's not a joke. Every time I can't seem to get anywhere with customer services as one of them was basically calling me a liar. And I was in tears as one of them was being pushy with me. And I asked if the price was the real price & got charged £11 or more while he should have told me why & what to yo considering I told them I had fibromyalgia but said I have to pay. I said I leaving because they changed the dates & made my leaving date even longer & I was told it would stay the same as he assured me it was only the contract had changed & the dates would be the same. The service is so bad & I stupidly stayed as its the cheapest but you pay a price for the cheapest & get a bad service & go to bed in tears for being called a liar not on. Bang out of order. 3 Three you need to be kinder to customers & provide an excellent service. As fed up of being lied to loads of time. Fact.
- Edwards Spencer
My 4g is slow and weak real bad when I called them try be smart by sending text msgs with we have not cancelled contact I ant paying them jack all I go back to my virgin mobile eveyone do black to 3 network and don't pay them note plus cancel direct debit as well make them listen

Data services in pl12pd area of Plymouth are ridiculous yet again. Started a year ago and getting worst. Internet is impossible to use most of the time. They blame it on people using data. If I'm limited then reduce my bill.
- Jo
I've had no signal at home, & intermittent signal when elsewhere, for the last three days in Ipswich.
- Kate
I have nothing wrong with signal or anything, but what I do have issues with is I have paid 2 bills in just one month, 1 at the beginning and 1 at the end. I have ALWAYS paid by direct debit once a month at the end.
- Lauren
I've had no signal for 24 hours now
- Damien
I am in Finsbury Park London and have no signal at all, but on the bus going towards Camden Town and signal comes back. This is just a pain, wonder if anyone else has the same issue in this area.
- Gulay Ahmet
I'm in South East London & having problems daily it's b|be ending. I have rang up but never get anywhere as promised to ring me back but 1 ring & no more I'm not super woman. Also I've had some bad customer service where I've been told off & spoken to with bad tone, made me so upset so I put the phone down then had call back after I put phone down & like an idiot I ended up being sold a contract I really didn't want but wouldn't sell me the one I wanted & insisted time again I should get the second deal to when I said I'm broke but didn't care at all still kept pushing the second deal. Now I'm being charged for £195 for a contract I never had yet told me to give it away & then to give 30 days notice yet had no itemized bill said it didn't exist. But first time without being told by 3three first I got a bailiffs letter to pay up. Nice one that's just what I need when suffering with health & money problems. They don't know what each others doing its a absolute mess. Help give me strength please.
- Ahmed Semerdzhiev
Banned outgoing calls unless I have a credit. I have an active mobile data packet by March 5, 2019 but I only use the Internet. The operator has made me update the phone software and much more, but I think the problem is not in the device but in the mobile operator. They said that up to 24 hours my problem will be removed but I know the same issues with new purchased sim cards from my acquaintances. They also do not work. You can use the Internet but not make a voice call.
- mike pearse
24 month contract had no data for the full 24 months cut a long story short was in hospital for a month had a call from (3g) saying il be blacklisted if I don't pay straight away bit hard when in hospital but even better was I only had 2 months left of my contract any help would be great full..was told when took my contract out the mask will be up in 2 week's plymouth. ..it's still not up 3 years later !!!!!

I have no signal whatsoever. I just changed my network in the last few days and I've just had my number transferred as well so my old phone is of no use. The status thing says it will be sorted by Monday. It says that for so many areas. WTH. This is appalling. They need to give us more information.
- Paul
Nothing in central Scotland either!!
No wonder we can't get our coverage sorted, the team don't even know where they are. The UK is made up of 4 separate countries with borders and their own capital cities. There is life outside London, the capital of England, not the UK.

My husbands old phone died. I bought him a new one yesterday. I got a 3 network. I have had to climb to the top of a 1000 ft hill ( highest p;oint in the area) to get a signal. That is not realistic. Seriously. I have never had any network that didnt work in my home except this one. I have sent for a new SIM from a different company.
- Youcef Beno
I can make calls but I can not receive
- badger freedom
I have the 100GB data offer for £25 which includes unlimited calls and texts, this gives me 30GB tethering. I thought this was a pretty good deal and it is sometimes. I am trying to tether from my mac in north cornwall. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but lately it keeps not working. I have to disconnect and reset everything, turn off and turn on. It is getting quite frustrating.
- Vicky Harrisom
I hate 3!! Had nothing but problems with 3. Forever getting texts saying they are working near my area. Cornwall. Phones been down sInce last night. This happens often. Absolutely gutted I couldn't speak and still can't talk to my I'll partner.

Mine has been the same in Leicestershire…only working phones are those which can do Wi-fi calling. I am an ID Mobile customer (uses 3s network). Down more than up of recent. I won't pay for days I have no signal – otherwise it's paying hard earned money for zero service. I am luckily not tied into a contract luckily so will choose a better provider if not resolved shortly. If you happen to have taken out a new contract (less than 30 days ago). You can force the network to cancel it & return handset & sim. Google OFCOM rules for mobile providers.

Got a feeling 3 may be facing court cases. This is day 9 of network being down more than up. My phone has forgotten what the 4G symbol is!

It is unlawful, theft. But three won't do a thing, not taking live chat, the system is overun with people complaining.

I've tried making calls this morning but all in getting is..your not registered on this network…roll on October when I can cancel my contract …its a joke…
I think it's pretty bad that I called my Mum 3 times 2 days ago and her friend called her too and she says her phone never rang, checked her phone no missing calls on log nor messages,really awful as my Dad has been taken into hospital and that could have been emergency calls,also a week ago sent a text to my friend's daughter to say I could not make her Engagement Party never heard back found out she never got it. Feel this network has gone downhill and agree very poor service and even more so since they raised their prices.
- [Adam Aqualung]
If I had the power I would gladly make them bankrupt, force them to refund all of their customers (whether you're on pay as you go or contract) like you rightly said so.
We have terrible service here in London SW8,SW9 – Poor reception when calling, text messages arriving late & slow horrendous internet.
Don't even get me started on about their appalling excuse of customer service. Every time I call them about the issues raised above, it's always the same old excuse "restart your phone" or "we're planning upgrades in your area" I mean seriously??
How three are getting away with this level of disgraceful service is beyond belief. Not to mention how they have the cheek to constantly increase top up prices & contract prices..
They should be shut down honestly END OF
- Karen Louise Crosskey
What is going on with 3 network. My husband has a contract phone and pays monthly. Since Monday morning he has had no internet coverage. We paid the bill last week and it came up on Monday you've used all your monthly data allowance, if that was the case then he wouldn't be able to call out, which he can.
Every 3 customer should receive compensation , due to the fact your not providing the service they pay for . Sort it out. At least explain on your site what is going on. It's disgusting.
- Truth86
PAYG all you can eat is permanently throttled on tethered devices between 3pm and 12 midnight. Best to switch to a month to month contract, they have one for 26/month

something like two and a half hours later, have just tried again this time was able to make a call although the reception status bare said barely one bar, the heavens have just opened up so I'm wondering what effect that will have on 3's services

I had no 3 dongle internet from around 5.30 last night 7.9.17, until about 10pm, starting to get a terrible service.

Belfast, issues started on 31st August 2017, all hotspots are throttle until 12 midnight, then they work again. Data speed drop of 99% down to 0.02 mb/sec on my tethered laptop. Lots of issues after the 10 quid hike on the all you can eat package, now I'm paying 35/month sim only! Three used to be a great network, worked in the USA and many other countries, not sure what's happened them now, but ORANGE went the same way… used to be good then over 1 year they lost a lot of customers.

3 (Three) Reports
@Power0verMen @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport The girl I work with had the exact same problem and has had nothing but problems with three since June. She's taking them to small claims because they unrightfully took almost a grand out of her account and haven't paid it back yet!
@iamwheelerd @onepeloton @ThreeUK Did your problems also start last week?
@mick_miller @ThreeUK They'll play every dirty trick in the book to stop you cancelling. They'll tell you your details are wrong, or say the "cancellation systems are down", or they'll stick you on hold music for an hour and then hang up.
Grr, have to go back down town thanks to @ThreeUK , who think customer service is optional and seem to be able to answer a phone only if they're TAKING money. There's no point saying call us then putting a "haha we're not going to answer anyway"message.
@ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @Three_Is_Broken your 4G has been down for quite some time now and now on your 3G service, I'm encountering network issues.

I hate to say am highly disappointed to say this is the end of the road. I will be closing my account down and be rest assured that I will do all in my power to get my resolution @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK
@ThreeUK I am sick and tired of THREE's 4G service issues. 2mbps down at the moment. Tried support,, useless. Don't bother with Three's 4G home broadband.
@ThreeUK hi, I'm having real problems with my 3 homefi at the moment. It has got worse over the last week and I am having to use my 3 mobile hotspot to tether all our devices too (so the mobile signal is fine ... although often 3G and not 4G!). Postcode is BA12 0QT. Can you help?
@ThreeUK Is the internet down ? Running like dial up today

Today is Saturday, my first day off of work this week.
Work days are from Monday till Friday only.
And because I haven't been getting enough sleep hours lately because I still have yet to fix my sleep cycle, I got them all back today.
What do I mean?
Because I got home late from my Friday dinner out, I arrived at home at almost 12MN.
And since I missed reading stories in Wattpad, I read a short story and a few updates.
I slept at around 2:45 in the morning.
I woke up at around 10 AM.
My sleep was around 7 hours and 15 minutes.
I was still sleepy when I woke up so after 30 minutes, I managed to get some sleep again.
My second sleep was from 10:30 AM till 5:30 PM!!!
Another 7 hours!
I know.
I slept a lot today.
But in the past also, I can really sleep for long periods.
There is just something about sleeping that I can't get enough of.
When I woke up from my second sleep, I really felt so refreshed and ready to face another week!! ——or not.
With my work schedule, I really hope I can fix my sleep cycle so I need not sleep half a day during weekends!
I need my weekends for self-improvement.
And speaking of self-improvement..
My sister and I will try to follow a Jillian Michaels exercise video in awhile.
It's around 45 minutes but a friend said that you really will sweat a lot after it.
want need to be sexy soon!
For whom?
For myself :>
Cause I love myself 🙂
YAY for loving oneself more!
Have you been doing something to reach your fitness goals?

Some like it hot
Although there is only a comparably small number of animal species we use as livestock, there is a vast number of different breeds within these species.
Some animals have been selectively bred for thousands of years to fulfil certain purposes: dairy cows have been breed for milk production, while beef cattle have been bred for the quality of their meat. Layer hens produce an egg every single day, while broiler chickens bred for meat, grow to their final size in six weeks. In domestic pigs, breeding has even lead to an elongation of the animals, a larger number of vertebrae and set of ribs to gain more pork from each animal.
Figure 1: Different chicken breeds. © University of Reading
Many livestock breeds have been bred for increased production, originally with little emphasis on animal health and resistance. This production-focussed breeding has resulted in some livestock being more susceptible to health problems, particularly in combination with husbandry systems that challenge the animals due to: low hygiene, stress due to the large number of animals, and unnatural husbandry conditions.
Low resistance and robustness may cause additional problems in the future: A possible geographical shift in the distribution of certain diseases due to climate change might challenge livestock production in the future (such as the bluetongue disease mentioned in Step 2.6.
Breeding efforts for the future could focus on different aspects such as: feed efficiency, productivity, fertility, resistance to environmental stress and diseases, longevity and lower emission of GHGs. Many of these aspects are already being addressed by research and the industry.
As breeds in different regions of the world are adapted to different conditions (for example, higher temperatures and drought in many African countries), this provides an opportunity to use genepools from existing breeds adapted to certain climates, to cross-breed with more modern breeds. Many of the native breeds in developing countries are less efficient in the production of milk or meat, however, when compared to the high-performance-breeds used in industrialised farming. While crossbreeding could bring improvements in resistance, it could also result in a decrease in productivity, which must be considered. Some old, local breeds that are not used commercially on a large scale, could offer interesting potential to improve the resistance of livestock.
Figure 1: Different cattle breeds. © University of Reading and Marie Dittmann
Many highly productive livestock breeds used in commercial farming require high maintenance and do not cope well with small scale production systems in hot countries. So rather than exporting Holstein Friesian cows, crossbreeding suitable dairy breeds with local cows in developing countries, is considered one possible way to increase milk-efficiency in these more extreme climates. Some sturdier dairy breeds, used commercially (often in extensive farming systems) in developed countries, may be suitable for cross breeding to increase milk production in developing countries. For example, the Fleckvieh breed has been a success in Kenyan dairy farming. You can read more about this on the African Farming website.
A higher efficiency in digesting food, to utilise nutrients and produce lower methane emissions are all traits that could be selected for, to reduce the environmental impact of cows – provided they produce the same amounts of milk or meat as they do now. In general, the efficiency of cows in developing countries can be raised drastically by comparatively small measures (change in breeds, feeds, husbandry and management), whereas the productive efficiency of cows in developed countries is already very high. In some cases, dairy farming might become unsuitable in a particular location. Some dairy farmers are already switching to beef or sheep farming due to the low milk price. If climate change poses further challenges for milk production, supporting farmers will be crucial.

Triple dip here we come. That's the clear message from the latest health check on the services sector from CIPS and Markit. To say the report was a disappointment is an understatement. News that activity fell for the first time since December 2010, when Britain was shivering under a foot of snow, came as a real jolt after the slightly better news from manufacturing earlier in the week.
It is possible, although not likely, that the report was a blip caused by the wet weather. This was, after all, the fourth fall in the survey in a row and – December 2010 apart – was the weakest since April 2009, when the world economy hit rock bottom after the collapse of Lehman Brothers the previous September.
CIPS/Markit say that the reason the services purchasing managers' index dipped below the 50 level that separates expansion from contraction was an unwillingness of firms to invest at a time when their customers were not spending.
This is entirely consistent with the UK's flat-lining performance over the last couple of years. Businesses see no point in buying new plant and machinery until there are signs that consumers are willing to spend more. But household budgets are being stretched by the squeeze on wages and the rising costs of essentials such as food and fuel.
Services account for 75% of the economy, so the survey does not bode well for the fourth quarter growth figures due out at the end of the month. In recent days there had been growing optimism that Britain might avoid another quarter of falling national output: the Bank of England reported that banks planned to extend more credit, the economic data from the US, Europe and Asia suggested that the soft patch in the global economy was coming to an end. Some policymakers at the Federal Reserve, America's central bank, are pressing for an early end to quantitative easing, the programme of money creation used as a means to boost demand for the past four years.
It is safe to say that an end to QE in the UK remains a long way off. The 0.9% jump in gross domestic product in the third quarter of 2012 now looks even more like a statistical aberration caused by bank holidays and the Olympics, and a decline in output in the fourth quarter now looks highly probable.
The Bank of England's monetary policy committee meets next week and will probably adopt a wait and see approach even after the downbeat news from the services sector. Threadneedle Street remains hopeful that the stimulus already provided, coupled with its Funding for Lending Scheme, will be enough to conjure up a slow recovery during 2013. It will be encouraged that mortgage approvals rose to their highest level in 10 months during November and will want to see what happened to consumer spending over the Christmas and new year period before deciding whether to sanction any further stimulus.
But make no mistake. Even after unprecedented policy measures, this is an economy that is going nowhere fast. The story of the year ahead will be weak growth, failure to meet government borrowing targets, credit downgrades and pressure on both the Bank and the Treasury to end what is comfortably the slowest and weakest recovery of the modern age.


text: Having just arrived at their new home on a naval base in Key West, a young teen and his brother are taking the the latest Vincent Price double billing at the local theater. The trailer features the latest picture from scare maestro Lawrence Woolsey about a half man half ant being shown in the new format ATOMOVISION, and leaving the theater the two realize that Woolsey himself will be there promoting his film in two weeks! Now they along with rest of the town must get ready for the big event, all during the course of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Joe Dante's "Matinee" is a sweet, nostalgic, silly, and extremely fun throwback to monster movies and times of innocence passed. John Goodman is a lot of fun as the confident B movie man and Cathy Moriarty is just as good his his jaded leading lady/girlfriend. There are some half baked elements in the film that could have used more fleshing out, but when the film gets down to business in the premier of "Mant" (this movie within a movie is an absolute riot), the movie really soars in supremely funny and chaotic fashion.

Consider us thoroughly killed with kindness
For Plain White T's, there could well be a remainder of the 'Hey There Delilah' backlash from 05 – some justified, a lot following the herd. So from opener 'Irrational Anthem', their sixth album is so unashamedly poppy and upbeat that it's like they're gleefully giving their finger to the haters. What this means is that if you find this band annoying, you'll probably hate them 10 times more after hearing 'Wonders Of The Younger'. For the rest of us, there's no denying that 'Rhythm Of Love' and 'Killer' are guilty pleasures in the making – consider us thoroughly killed with kindness.

One day when she was searching out her attic, she found a journal which had been written by the Tenth Doctor when he was in the form of John Smith. She was credited as the author of A Journal of Impossible Things, which was based on the writings of John Smith and Joan Redfern.
Near the end of his tenth incarnation, the Doctor went to a book signing of hers. She asked him who to sign it to, and he replied "the Doctor". She then realised it was the same man as in her book.
Verity told the Doctor her great-grandmother died happily when he asked, asking him, in turn, if he was happy. The "dying" Tenth Doctor smiled, and simply walked away without giving her a reply. (TV: The End of Time)
Behind the scenes Edit
- The actress who portrayed Verity Newman, Jessica Hynes, also portrayed the character's great-grandmother Joan Redfern.
- Verity Newman gets her name from Verity Lambert (the first producer of Doctor Who) and Sydney Newman (more or less the "creator" of Doctor Who). The names "Sydney" and "Verity" were used previously in TV: Human Nature / The Family of Blood, as the names of the parents of the human John Smith.
- As pointed out in Doctor Who Confidential, John Smith truly loved Joan, and the Doctor seemed to care about Joan and her well-being following the events with the Family of Blood, but did not share John Smith's romantic feelings towards her.

Irrfan vows to be more organised next year
After a year filled with big releases and a lot of chaos, Irrfan vows organise his timetable much in advance
Most actors in Bollywood often live out of their suitcases, as they jet from one city to another completing their shoot schedules and promotional activities. However, Irrfan has decided to take things a little easy from next year and organise his timetable much in advance.
The actor confesses that he often picks up too much on his plate and ends up having little time for himself. Having recently appeared in Ang Lee's ambitious 3D film, the National School of Drama alumnus has already wrapped up Tigmanshu Dhulia's upcoming sequel and is currently shooting for Nikhil Advani's forthcoming action thriller.
"I try to do a lot of things at once! No wonder I'm so disorganised. Having said that, if I connect to the script, I instantly agree to the film. There's no set formula," says Irrfan.
Although the actor tries his best to spend as much time as possible with his family, he usually finds himself on plane shuttling between cities. "I try to get out but it's difficult with my work. From next year onwards, things are going to be different. I'm going to plan stuff in advance, as I don't have the tendency to plan. That's why I end up doing too much!"
Irrfan recalls, "I've been in situations where I have had to choose. For instance, I was supposed to be with the promotions of Life of Pi for months given the international scale of the film but at the same time I was already committed to Nikhil's film. Something similar took place during Paan Singh Tomar and The Amazing Spider-Man."

The Gossips – part III
Being a somewhat superficial researcher, paddling at the shallow end of the vast amounts of information available on oh, so many things, the tendency is to choose a bit of this, a little of that along with a side order of the other. The resultant product being something that never existed at all. As long as we take this vital snippet of information on board when viewing any of the blog, hopefully no-one should be lead too far astray.
Above are details from some of the pickings through the available image info on the web and I also dipped into images in various printed publications – all used very loosely in the designs for the Gossips' clothing: lace and loops, bum rolls and skirt frames, embroidery and bows, flat and filmy headgear, feathers and frizzy or 'beehive' hairstyles, eg: Anne of Denmark in last portrait above (Wife of James VI/I).
I think all three of the doll kits or parts thereof are from items that used to be stocked by Mary Williams – I'm unsure because I bought them almost at the start of working on the project. I needed 'people' around the rooms I was/am building to get a feel of size, shape and general personality of the place. Lace, feathers, beads and buckles etc, are either from old hoardings from way-back when or current purchases at Heverbell Miniatures, Buttercup Miniatures or Bluebell Miniatures.
It's been a consuming job so it's time to try to stand back a little and have a look-see.
I like the rearrangement and resizing of the sitting room and the opening on to the stairs. Much better than the closed box I'd originally planned.
General ideas fine(ish), execution, not so much. Although I've got a little better handling wood and can occasionally produce something cleaner of line without the slightly grubby, over-handled look, there's still a need to work on simplification of line and trim for the little people. More discipline with detail and less abundance might help, though I reckon the third figure shows more definition in both line and styling. Ah, but is it repeatable? Dun dun dun dah …
The ladies are sitting by a window overlooking the main street – or they would be if I had built it yet, so perhaps that should be the next move, but first I must tone down the feather fan holder from tacky gold to something a little less.

Blood Alcohol Calculators
Maybe the breath testing Approved Instrument or its operator made a mistake and your blood alcohol concentration at the time of taking the test wasn't what the qualified technician recorded in the Certificate of Analysis. Maybe your blood alcohol concentration at the time of the test was higher than it was at the time of driving because alcohol takes time to be absorbed and distributed in the human body. Maybe something went wrong.
You may be innocent but not have a defence. We used to call this "evidence to the contrary" or a "Carter defence". Based on your recollection of eating and drinking (using the Canadian Drinking Driver's Worksheet), a toxicologist would calculate your actual blood alcohol content at the time of driving or care or control. If the Judge believed you and your witnesses, the evidence of the toxicologist would be applied by the Judge and if he or she had a reasonable doubt you would be acquitted.
In recent years the issue has become the scientific reliability of the breath testing process. Calculation of BAC is, however, a useful activity in determining moral innocence. Evidence of moral innocence may help your lawyer seek and find a scientific explanation for the error.
Warning: Only a toxicologist should perform a calculation of blood alcohol concentration. Ask your lawyer to retain a toxicologist to provide an opinion of blood alcohol concentration based on what you actually had to drink.
Warning: Do not under any circumstances use a blood alcohol calculator as a guide to whether or not it is safe to drink and drive. Impairment of ability to operate a motor vehicle can occur at low concentrations of alcohol and/or drugs.

For the first time in four years, U.S. employment contracted as a result of huge drops in construction and manufacturing payrolls, reports Jeff Testerman of BrokerHunter.com. Fears that the slowdown in housing has affected the overall economy have led the Federal Reserve to lower rates for the first time in four years in an effort to help the mortgage and housing industries.
In addition, previous employment reports were also revised sharply downward; with the most dramatic restatement being for June, cutting the job growth to nearly half of what was previously reported, Testerman explains. The average employment rate has fallen to under 45,000 for the last three months compared to over 145,000 for the period between January and May of 2007.
Securities Industry
The securities industry, while not unscathed in the recent report, faired a bit better than the overall. Employment in our sector, managed to eke out a small gain, albeit against revised numbers for previous months. So while, June and July were revised downward; the numbers still show us above the 850,000 mark. Whether this level is sustainable remains to be seen, since the Bureau of Labor Statistics has been notoriously consistent in revising employment numbers downward in recent years.
