Spirit of Christmas show in town
Popular Leeds Male Voice Choir is heading to Tadcaster with its Spirit of Christmas show.
The choir’s extravaganza of yuletide favourites, Christmas songs and carols, will feature at the Riley Smith Hall in Tadcaster on December 14 with spectacular accompaniment from Yorkshire Brass Quintet.
“Now in its sixth spectacular year, the annual concert has proved so successful, that Leeds Male Voice Choir are taking the show on the road, bringing their festive joy to Tadcaster,” said a spokesman.
Under the Direction of Tim Knight since 2014, Leeds Male Voice Choir has defied the traditions of the male voice choir genre, casting aside blazers and welsh hymns, in favour of a modern approach with sharp suits and a diverse repertoire drawing influences from North America, Scandinavia and the Baltic.
It now boasts a membership of almost 60 men of different ages and backgrounds, joining a group that has been making high quality music since 1916.
The Spirit of Christmas comes at the end of another successful year of sell out concerts and a tour of Hungary, but the choir is not resting on their laurels.
Musical director Tim Knight explained: “We have more exciting plans for 2020, including a tour across the Pennines to Lancashire, a range of new music from around the world and the launch of the choir’s free annual Find Your Voice programme.”
The evening looks set to be a fun filled affair for the whole family with free entry for children.
Tim said: “Christmas is always a favourite time of the year for choir and a time to celebrate.
“We’re looking forward to what will be a fabulous fun filled festive evening for the whole family.”

Flap Failure and Wound Complications in Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A National Perspective
- 699 Downloads
There are many options for breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, and data on outcomes are greatly needed for both the patient and the care provider. This study aims to identify the prevalence and predictors of adverse outcomes in autologous breast reconstruction in order to better inform patients and surgeons when choosing a surgical technique.
This study retrospectively reviewed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) and identified each autologous breast reconstruction performed between 2005 and 2012. Of the 6855 autologous breast reconstructions, there were 2085 latissimus dorsi (LD) flap procedures, 2464 pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap procedures, and 2306 free flap procedures that met the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of complications in each of the three procedures was calculated and compared using χ 2 analysis for binomial categorical variables. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified independent risk factors for adverse outcomes in autologous reconstruction as a whole.
The prevalence of general complications was 10.8 % in LD flaps, 20.6 % in TRAM flaps, and 26.1 % in free flaps for autologous breast reconstruction (p < 0.001). The prevalence of wound complications was 4.3 % in LD flaps, 8.1 % in TRAM flaps, and 6.2 % in free flaps for autologous breast reconstruction (p < 0.001). The prevalence of flap failure was 1.1 % in LD flaps, 2.7 % in TRAM flaps, and 2.4 % in free flaps for autologous breast reconstruction (p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that obesity [odds ratio (OR) 1.495, p = 0.024], hypertension (OR 1.633, p = 0.008), recent surgery (OR 3.431, p < 0.001), and prolonged operative times (OR 1.944, p < 0.001) were independently associated with flap failure in autologous breast reconstruction procedures. When controlling for confounding variables, TRAM flaps were twice as likely (OR 2.279, p = 0.001) and free flaps were three times as likely (OR 3.172, p < 0.001) to experience flap failure when compared to LD flaps.
Latissimus dorsi flaps are associated with the fewest short-term general complications and free flaps are associated with the most short-term general complications in autologous breast reconstruction. Free flaps are the most likely to experience flap failure, though there is no significant difference when compared to pedicled TRAM flaps. Free and TRAM flaps remain as the widely acceptable forms of breast reconstruction in the patient without many risk factors for flap failure or wound complications. The identified risk factors will aid in surgical planning and risk adjustment for both the patient and the care provider. Though many other factors will be taken into consideration with surgical planning of autologous breast reconstruction, the presence of these identified risk factors may encourage the use of a surgical technique associated with fewer adverse outcomes, like the LD flap.

Azerbaijani lawmakers on Monday appealed to the president to dissolve parliament and call snap elections, in a surprise move that followed the prime minister's resignation a month ago.
Members of the current parliament, which is dominated by President Ilham Aliyev's Yeni Azerbaijan party, backed the appeal urging its own dissolution by 99 votes to one.
At the moment, the next parliamentary elections are scheduled for October, 2021.
But under the terms of the constitution, early elections have to be held 60 days after the legislature is dissolved by a presidential decree.
Yeni Azerbaijan's executive secretary Ali Ahmedov told journalists last week that "parliament's composition needs to be renewed as part of the reforms that are being carried out by President Aliyev".
He gave no further explanation for his statement, which followed a cabinet reshuffle nearly a month ago.
In October, the then prime minister Novruz Mammadov tendered his resignation in a surprise move.
Aliyev appointed Ali Asadov, a technocrat and close ally, as his replacement.
With most powers concentrated in the hands of the president, parliament has a limited role in the country's political system.
The president has ruled the oil-rich ex-Soviet Caspian state with an iron fist since he was first elected in 2003, after the death of his father, Azerbaijan's Soviet-era Communist leader and former KGB general Heydar Aliyev.
Under the Aliyev dynasty, Baku has faced strong international criticism for silencing dissent and opposition media.

An understanding of distributed systems is critical to understanding blockchain technology, as blockchain is a distributed system at its core. A distributed system can be centralized or decentralized.
A distributed system is a network of autonomous computers(processors) that are connected together to form a system in which they communicate and share resources to perform a specific task.
The independent computing units of the distributed systems are known as Nodes.
Coordination among different nodes in the presence of corrupted nodes or in case of network failure is the primary challenge faced by the distributed systems.

A lot of people allow their cats to roam the streets around their house — that’s why most people clarify whether they have an “indoor cat” or an “outdoor cat.”
When people give their cats the freedom to wander outside, they usually assume that when the cat gets hungry or lonely, it will make its way back home for food and company. Even if they get cold, cats will usually come home instead of approaching a store or another house.
That was not the case for this orange kitty, though. After leaving his home in the U.K., this cat entered a bank building. But he didn’t realize the bank was closing, and the tellers didn’t notice him.
When the bank workers left, they locked up as usual, but didn’t see the little cat still inside. It wasn’t until later that evening when the cat ventured to the bank’s entrance that someone noticed him trapped inside.

Some molds are dangerous, in fact, to my knowledge, most are. Some are used for medicines, such as penicillin, which is used to combat many sicknesses. Others are very dangerous, such as black mold, which will grow in damp places in places such as indoors. Most molds on foods are forms of penicillin, but it is not wise to eat it. -Molds can be toxic in high amounts. Not all black mold is is dangerous, however stachybotrys chartarum is dangerous in very small amounts. It is a blackish slimy mold, and it's spores do not become airborn easily.

It depends on what you mean. It can be dangerous to breathe mold spores. It can also cause other problems occasionally if you eat the mold or get it on your skin.

WILLIAM WHISTON, A. M.
LATI PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE,
$1. WHEREAS the war which the Jewus made with the Romans hath been the greatest of all those, not only that have been in our times, but, in a manner, of those that ever were heard of ; both of Whose wherein cities have fought against cities, or nations against nations ; while some men who were not concerned in the affairs themselves, have gotten together vain and contradictory stories by hearsay, and have written them down after a sophistical manner; and while those that were there presont have given false accounts of things, and this either out of a humor of flattery to the Romans, or of hatred towards the Jerus ; and while their writings contain sometimes accusations, and sometimes encomiums, but no where the accurate truth of the facts ; I have proposed to myself, for the sake of such as live under the government of the Romans, to translate those books into the Greek tongue, which I formerly composed in the language of our country, and sent to the Unper Barbarianst: 1.Joseph, the son of Matthias, by birth an Hebrew, a priest also, and one who at first fought against the Romans myself, and was forced to be present at what was done afterwards, Cam the author of this work.]
2. Now at the time when this great concussion of affairs happen. ed, the affairs of the Romans were themselves in great disorder,
* I have already observed more than once that this history of the Jewish war was Josephus's first work, and published about A. D. 75. when he was but 38 years of age; and that when he wrote it, he was not thoroughly acquainted with several circumstances of history from the days of Antiochus Epiphanes, with which it begins, till near his own times, contained in the first and former part of the second book, and so committed many involantary errors therein. That he published his Antiquities 18 years afterward, perused those most authentic histories, the first book of Maccabees, in the 13th year of Domitian, A. D. 93, when he was much more completely acquainted with those ancient times, and after he had wrote the Chronicles of the Priesthood of John Hyrcanus, &c. That accordingly he then reviewed those parts of this work, and gave the public a more faithful, complete, and accurate account of the facts therein related ; and honestly corrected the errors he had before run into.
† Who these Upper Barbarians, remote from the sea, were, Josephus himself will inform us, sect. 2. viz "the Parthians and Babylonians, and remotest Arabians (or the Jews among them]; besides the Jews beyond Euphrates, and the Adiabeni, or Assyrians. Whence we also learn, that these Parthians, Babylonians, the remotest 'Arabians or at least the Jews among them,) as also the Jews beyond Euphrates, and the Adiabeni, or Assyrians, understood Josephus's Hebrew or rather Chaldaic books of the Jewish war, before they were put into the Greek language.
Those Jews also, who were for innovations, then arose when the timos were disorder they were also in a flourishing condition for strength and riches, irisomuch that the affairs of the East were then exceeding gunuliuous, while some hoped for gain, and others were afraid onto toss in: sacharoubles:; for the Jews hoped that all of their natioriówhich were beyond Euphrates would have raised an insur. rection together with them. The Gaule also, in the neighborhood of the Ronians, were in motion, and the Celta were not quiet ; but all was in disorder, after the death of Nero. And the opportunity now offered induced many to aim at the royal power; and the soidiery affected change out of the hojies of getting money. I thought it therefore an absurd thing to see the truth falsified in affairs of such great consequence, and to take no notice of it ; bul to suffer those Grreks and Romans that were not in the wars to be ignorant of these things, and to read either flatteries or fictions, while the Parthians, and the Babylonians, and the remotest Arabians, and those of our nation beyond Euphrates, with the Adiabeni, by noy
knew accurately buih whence the war began, what miseries it brought upon us, and after what manner it ended,
3. It is true, ihese writers have the confidence to call their accounts histories ; wherein yet they seem to me to fail of their own purpose, as well as to relate nothing that is sound. For they have a mind to demonstrate the greatness of the Romans, while they still diminish and lessen the actions of the Jews ; as not discerning how it cannot be that those must appear to be great who have only conquered those that were little. Nor are they ashamed 10 overlook the length of the war, the multitude of the Roman forces, who so greatly suffered in it, or the might of the commanders; whose great Labors about Jerusalem will be deemed inglorious, if what they atchirved be reckoned but a small matter.
4. However, I will not go to the other extreme, out of opposition to these men who extol the Romans, nor will I determine to raise the actions of my countrymen too high ; but I will prosecuto the actions of both parties with accuracy.
Yet shall I suit my langutige to the passions I am under, as to the affairs I describe, and must be allowed to indulge some lamentations upon the miseries undergone bij in?! own country. For that it was a seditious temper of our own that destroyed it, and that they were the tyrants among the Jique who brought the Roman power upon us, who unwillingly attacked us, an! occasioned the burning of our holy temple, Titus Cerar, who destroyed it, is himself a witness, who, during the entire war. pitied ihe peopie who were kept under by the seditious, and did ofien voluntarily delay the taking of the city, and allowed time to the siege, in order 10 let the authors huve opportunity for groepentance. But if any one makes an unjusi accusation against us, when we speak so passionately about the tyranis, or the robbers, or sorely bewuil the misfortunes of our country, let him indulge my af. fections herein, though it be contrary to the rules for writing history; because it had 80 come to pass, that our city Jerusalem had ar. rived at an higher degree of felicity than any other city under the Roman government, and yet at last fell into the sorest of calamities again. Accordingly it appears to me, that the* misfortunes of all men, from the beginning of the world, if they be compared to these of the Jews, are not 80 considerable as they were ; while the authors of them were not foreigners neither. This makes it impossible for me to contain my lamentations. But if any one be inflexible in his censures of me, let him attribute the facts themselves to the histori. cal part ; and the lamentations to the writer himself only.
5. However, I may justly blame the learned men among the Greeks, who, when such great actions have been done in their own times, which, upon the comparison, quite eclipse the old wars, do yet sit as judges of those affairs, and pass bitter censures upon the labors of the best writers of antiquity; which moderns, although they may be superior to the old writers in eloquence, yet are they inferior to them in the execution of what they intended to do. While these also write new histories about the Assyrians and Medes ; as if the ancient writers had not described their affairs as they ought to have done ; although these be as far inferior to them in abilities, as they are different in their notions from them. For of old, every one took upon him to write what happened in his own time ; where their immediate concern in the actions made their premises of value ; and where it must be reproachful to write lies, when they must be known by the readers to be such, But then, an undertaking to preserve the memory of what hath not been before recorded, and to represent the affairs of one's own time to those tha: come afterwards, is really worthy of praise and commendation. Now he is bc esteemed to have taken good pains in earnest ; not who does no more than change the disposition and order of other mens' works, but he who not only relates what had not been related before, but composes an entire body of history of his own : Accordingly I have been at great charges, and have taken very great pains [about this history] though I be a foreigner ; and do dedicate this work, as a memorial of great actions, both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians. But for some of our own principal men, their mouths are wide open, and their tongues loosed presently, for gain and law suits, but quite muzzled up when they are to write history, where they must speak truth and gather facts together with a great deal of pains; and so they leave the writing such histories to weaker people, and to such as are not acquanted with the actions of firinces. Yet shall the real truth of historical facts be preferred by us, how much soever it be neglected among the Greek historians.
6. To write concerning the Antiquities of the Jews, who they were [originally] and how they revolted from the Eghptians, and
* That these calamities of the Jews, who were our Saviour's murderers, were to be the greatest that had ever been since the beginning o! the world, our Saviour. had disily foretold Matth. xxiv. 21. Mark xiii. 19. Luke xxi. 23, 24. and that they proved to be such accordingly, Josephus is here a most authentic witness.


Wolverines fall to Wilkes Central in third round
Published: Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 10:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 10:42 p.m.
MORAVIAN FALLS – Wilkes Central had to overcome a storm of sorts to beat Polk County 7-5 on Saturday night and advance to the western semifinals of the State 2A Baseball Tournament.
Polk County proved to be a gritty bunch and hit the Eagles with a four-run first inning to take a lead it held until the fifth inning.
Polk Coach Ty Stott calls any inning that his team scores more than three runs a ‘storm.'
“Normally, that means we have a good chance of winning,” Stott said. “Coming into this game we were 16-0 when we have storm. But tonight, we were playing a different kind of team.”
Wilkes Central improved to 28-1 with the victory and will play at Surry Central in the Western Semifinals on Tuesday at a time to be determined.
The Wolverines end the season at 18-8.
After a solo home run from Joel Booker in the fifth inning, Polk led the Eagles 5-3. In the bottom of the fifth, Wilkes Central began its comeback when Martin Koon singled to score Luke Gragg, who'd reached on single, to make it 5-4. Gray Tuttle then singled to score Graylan Groce, who was a courtesy runner for Koon to tie it at 5-5.
Wilkes Central took the lead for good in the sixth inning when Ryan Harrold hit a two-run homer to make it 7-5.
Polk started the game with a roar in the first inning when Brandon Jolley hit a three-run homer that scored Rooster Ross and Lucas Cash, who both reached on singles, to make it 4-0. The Wolverines scored earlier in the inning on a sacrifice by Booker that scored Danny Fraga, who drew a walk.
Stott was proud of the way his team played.
“We hit the ball hard, threw well, I don't think I could have asked for any more from my kids,” Stott said. “When you look at that team we played, we kept the pressure on them all night and it's like they never felt it. If we pitch like we did tonight and play like that, we win 80-90 percent of our games.”
The example that perhaps best showed the toughness of the Wolverines came in the fifth inning when Wilkes Central's Gray Tuttle hit a shot right at Polk third baseman Roberto Taft that hit Taft right in the chin.
“He refused to come out,” Stott said. “That's just the kind of kid he is. He's a tough kid and it's the kind of team we have here. All our kids played tough tonight. When you look at Wilkes Central, they're a special team that plays well to their strengths. They know how to win and sometimes, that's more important than anything else. Over the course of a 28-1 season, they've had to come back to win and they knew what to do.”
From a pitching standpoint, Polk had to re-work its strategy.
“Normally, we only throw two pitchers each game,” Stott said. “We threw three tonight because I couldn't see leaving one pitcher out there to face that lineup the whole game. I'd heard coming in that this might be the best hitting lineup in a long time. After tonight, they might be.”
Polk County 400 010 0 – 5 7 2
Wilkes Central 200 122 x – 7 11 2
Danny Fraga, Lucas Cash (4), Brandon Jolly (6) and Ross. Aaron Sparks, Cody Zaleski (5), Parks Smithey (6) and Luke Gragg. HR – Polk: Jolley, Booker. WC: Koon, Harrold.

Internet threats and cyber fraud
Recently the staff of the Dundee Library were made aware of internet viral threats, where parties were hacking into an unsuspecting recipients’ e-mail and then sending them correspondence advising of them of friends meeting an untimely accident and that monies needed immediatey for the medical care. In light of this , we are taking the opportunity to advise our patrons of this danger and ask that they do not open an e-mail without first verifying the authenticity of the sender. We would advise that you first contact the individual if they are known to you, doing so by phone, to verify the authenticity of the correspondence. This issue has become acute and a danger to anyone (consumer) who then acts on the request being sent to them.
If you happen to be the recipient of such an e-mail, the following steps need to be taken. First and foremost, contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by e-mail or directly by telephone, advising them of what has taken place , giving them all of the pertinent information likely required. In doing so , it assists the agency to investigate such a matter thoroughly. Failure to do so, simply places others in a similar circumstance, where they also become a victim of cyber fraud (internet fraud). Naturally , advising your local law enforcement agency (police department) is also a a must .

From La Plaza Mall in McAllen to multiple shopping and entertainment centers in Pharr and Edinburg, the areas surrounding Alamo have grown substantially in recent years. Alamo itself has grown at an impressive rate and is now home to such franchise locations as H-E-B, Walmart and Walgreens.
Although increasing in size and population, Alamo is still known for its tight-knit community and small-town feel. Aside from larger cities nearby, it’s still a great location for commerce. Now is a great time for promising entrepreneurs and businessowners to call Alamo home. The Alamo EDC has several amenities that can make your commercial venture successful, so let’s take a look at a few of them.
Small businesses tend to excel in one area that larger franchises find trouble with – customer service. One of the main reasons customers shop at locally-owned businesses and mom-and-pop shops is because they love to feel valued and appreciated. Small business owners see the value in providing exceptional customer service, and it does not go unnoticed.
Oftentimes, clients don’t receive the attention they deserve with larger companies, so they prefer to shop small. Alamo offers workshops and training seminars that can help enhance the overall quality of your business to ensure customer loyalty.
Shopping at small businesses is actually trending right now. Local business supporters take pride in giving back to the community and can serve as walking advertisements for yours by spreading the word in-person or through social media. Be part of a city that encourages entrepreneurs to set up their businesses and grow alongside Alamo.
Business from Everywhere
People travel to South Texas year-round for its sunny skies and attractions. Close proximity to McAllen and an hour drive from South Padre Island makes Alamo a great place to set up shop.

Elcom International has chosen an investment bank to help it choose a partner to extend its reach within Europe. As predicted in PC Dealer (9 July), the mergers and acquisitions division of investment banker and broker Smith Barney has been called in by Elcom to evaluate a possible sale or merger of the company. It will also find contenders for strategic partnership with the reseller and devise means of maximising value for shareholders. The bank will look at a number of financing options. Elcom is interested in using its Catalink Direct subsidiary as a bridge for partnership with a company that is interested in entering the European market, particularly the UK. Tom Barth, VP for corporate development at Elcom, claimed it was ?premature to say what impact it would have on the UK?. But he said people could look to Catalink?s UK model and its successes because the engagement of Smith Barney would highlight its strengths. President and CEO of Catalink Direct Jim Rousou said , at the time of the search for a bank, the reseller had been undervalued on the US stock market. He added that a partnership would release much of its latent potential, particularly within the company?s electronic commerce offering, a technology which is winning increasing popularity as an efficient means of conducting business.

But the video is so goofy -- intentionally so -- that it fits in with the other weirdness that has dominated in recent days.
Of-uncertain-honor-able mention: The "I Am Gay" video, by the same group. Not sure how to take it, whether he's laughing at himself or laughing at The Other. (Holland Boys and King God have many, perhaps all, the same personnel, and I'm not sure whether the singer is actually gay or playing a role.) At any rate, it could well be the "I'm Too Sexy" for the 21st century.

An honest and encouraging book for new art therapists, on how to develop therapeutic relationships and safe spaces with clients
Deborah Schroder teaches art therapy at Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and has extensive experience of supervising recently-graduated therapists. She has explored the uses of art therapy in a wide variety of environments, including inpatient and day-treatment settings, a nursing home, a school, a community art centre and private practice.
This is a simply written, humorous and enlightening introduction to art therapy. The author gives the reader insight using real life cases, as well as her own sometimes painful reactions while working alongside the client. Overall the book demonstrates the importance of getting to know the client in a counselling relationship. This enables a person to trust and feel secure, something missing from many young people's everyday relationships. I will keep this book in my tool bag, to dip into when working with young people, as it offers a new way of working that is appropriate, inclusive and manageable in the normal counselling process. -- Relate

Introducing ECOP Germany
The UN Ocean Decade has already connected many sectors, institutes, and disciplines within Germany. However, to remain vibrant and to build on future initiatives, ECOPs need to be an integral part of these activities. With ECOP Germany, we want to build a strong network connecting ECOPs from different sectors and elevate their voices to foster knowledge exchange, innovation, and a united ocean community that collaboratively addresses the challenges of the UN Ocean Decade.
Who is an ECOP in Germany?
ECOPs from German-speaking countries and predominantly but not exclusively to residents in Germany (including Austria and Switzerland).
Furthermore, we welcome interested collaborators to join our network.
A strong network of ECOP Germany that significantly contribute to achieving the outcomes of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, recognizing intergenerational diversity as a core need for marine research, engineering, policy-makers and industry.
Strengthen connections between Early Career Ocean Professionals at the national and international level, and establish a cohesive community that unites Early Career Ocean Professionals, fostering a strong connection between the realms of science, industry, policy, and society.
Our mission includes:
- Uniting diverse stakeholders who consider themselves contributors to the solution, including scientists, decision-makers, industry professionals, and innovators.
- Fostering cross-generational exchange and participate in decision-making processes at all levels of projects and programs related to the UN Ocean Decade.
- Fostering direct partnerships with affiliated branches, such as the National Decade Committee and its members as well as other German (CH, A) stakeholders that are active on the Ocean Decade
- Supporting knowledge exchange between ECOPs – who are a voice of the UN Ocean Decade:
Activities of ECOP Germany
The aim of Activity#1 is to connect ECOPs in/from Germany to international efforts around the UN Ocean Decade. We aim to engage in collaborative efforts with established working groups such as SOA, other ECOP nodes, IUCN WCEL Early Career Specialist Group, Ocean Bridges through joint webinars, ECOPs meetings at conferences and connection/knowledge exchange amongst ECOPs, e.g. via digital platforms.
The aim of Activity#2 is to link the needs of ECOPs to respective organizations, institutions, and the public sector. ECOP-Germany will clearly outline the organization of the current German-speaking ocean-landscape from science to industry and raise awareness of future perspectives, e.g., job and funding opportunities, with a particular focus on diversity, equity and inclusion of underrepresented groups such as ethnic or cultural minorities; women; minority gender identities, sexual orientations (e.g. LGBTQIA+); low-income or other socioeconomically disadvantaged groups and those who have a form of disability. We strive to create a safe space for ECOPs to build the future ocean network German-speaking countries need.
The aim of Activity #3 is to create a network of ECOPs that actively contribute their knowledge and expertise in Ocean Decade Actions, Programmes and Organizations. We endeavor to support ECOPs in their role and organzations to avoid tokenism, creating meaningful intergenerational exchange and to train the ocean leaders of tomorrow.
The aim of Activity #4 is to organise an event where ECOP Germany comes together (in person) and exchange experiences, ideas and create new collaborations in a relaxed environment. We are currently planning and Ocean Dinner which will take place next spring/summer. Further we will link in with existing ocean-related events that offer ECOPs in Germany to meet in social way.

To address the needs and priorities of ECOPs at a national scale, ECOP Germany empowers its members with important professional and networking opportunities to engage in discussions and actions which will culminate to a sustainable ocean during this decade and beyond.
We are calling all ECOPs in or from Germany to participate and fill in the survey. It will take about 10-15 minutes. The goal of the survey is to conduct an inventory of ECOP interests in/from Germany to understand the needs, priorities and challenges as well as developing to strengthen the national node. Your responses will be treated with utmost confidentiality.

President Donald Trump is in Phoenix, Arizona tonight to lead a rally with his thousands of his supporters. Although Trump is beloved by many, angry left-wing Antifa rioters are attempting to descend on the event and it’s very likely that they will get violent.
Unfortunately for Antifa, however, Bikers for Trump has showed up at the rally as well, and they won’t be putting up with any violent liberal nonsense.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Bikers for Trump has just announced on Facebook that they will be in Phoenix tonight to protect Trump supporters. Here’s what they had to say:
This comes as violent Antifa protesters have made it clear that they plan to stir up as much chaos as possible at Trump’s rally. Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton is so worried about the violence that he called on Trump to postpone the rally.
“We don’t want to cancel the presidential visit overall, but a delay would be the appropriate action by the White House,” Stanton said at a news conference on Monday, adding that Tuesday “will be a difficult and trying day for our city and for the law enforcement professionals whose job it is to keep everyone safe.”
Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams would only say that law enforcement will deploy at “maximum staffing” and that the city and authorities are working closely with the Secret Service and White House.
The mainstream media is trying to make it look like Antifa protesters are peaceful, non-violent people. However, what they’re doing in Phoenix makes it clear that they are anything but that. Instead of letting Trump and his supporters peacefully come together for a rally, they are trying to threaten and harm anyone who shows support for our president in any way.
Please pray for President Trump and his supporters as they prepare for tonight’s rally!

Major Requirement: History of Africa/Middle East
This course is an introductory class to the history of the Middle East from Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798 until the end of World
War I. Investigating the history of this period provides the necessary backdrop for understanding the intellectual vibrancy and political
turbulence of the Arab world in present day. The main question for consideration is which forces and what sort of transformations shaped
the region over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries. By exploring critical political, social, intellectual, and economic themes
such as reforms, colonialism, Arab nationalism, and the impact of Zionism, we will identify the main internal and external forces and
processes that shaped the modern Middle East. The course also examines the way historical discourse is formed.

Nico Rosberg has secured Mercedes’ third consecutive pole position during qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix today at the Circuit de Catalunya.
The German driver led for large parts of qualifying, bettering his own fastest time late on in Q3 to finish ahead of his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, who will join him on the front row.
Mercedes enjoyed a sizeable gap to the chasing teams, with Sebastian Vettel posing the greatest challenge to their front row lock out in P3. He finished just ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, with Lotus looking particularly good on the harder tire. For Ferrari, qualifying was not as expected, locking out the third row of the grid with Alonso 5th and Massa 6th, which will be disappointing following their practice performances. Romain Grosjean will line up 7th tomorrow, followed by Mark Webber for Red Bull. Sergio Perez was delighted to make it into Q3, qualifying 9th ahead of Paul di Resta for Force India.
Q1 saw Mercedes finish the session on top, with Hamilton and Rosberg both running well on the softer tire. However, both Ferrari and Lotus showed good pace on the harder compound, whilst Red Bull also ran strongly at the front. Toro Rosso had a good session, finishing P10 and P11, and McLaren just about made their way through into Q2 as Perez and Button finished 14th and 15th respectively. For Williams, the session capped off a year of change. Twelve months ago, Pastor Maldonado started on pole and won the race, yet he could only qualify P18 today, one place behind his teammate. Caterham won the battle at the back, with Giedo van der Garde outqualifying both Marussias and his teammat for the first time this season.
Just as they did in Q1, Mercedes finished on top in Q2, but it required a late lap from Lewis Hamilton to make it into the final qualifying session, although his time was 0.5 seconds quicker than the rest of the field. Ferrari managed to make it through on one run once again, but McLaren’s weekend went from bad to worse. Jenson Button could only finish 14th, although Perez did manage to make it into the final qualifying shootout. Paul di Resta also posted a late lap to make it through, squeezing out both Toro Rosso drivers and his teammate Adrian Sutil. Sauber failed to make it into the final session, with Hulkenberg and Gutierrez lining up 15th and 16th respectively.
Qualifying has certainly thrown up an interesting result, although many will remind Mercedes that they have not won from pole position so far this season. However, every GP at the Circuit de Catalunya since 1996 has been won from the front row, which will certainly give the Silver Arrows some hope heading into tomorrow’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Charlie Kennedy, a talented alto saxophonist who was best known for his association with Gene Krupa's big band in the 1940s, has died. He was 81.
Mr. Kennedy died April 3 of pulmonary disease at his home in Ventura, Calif., according to his daughter, Lorraine Sutton.
The best years of his brief career were the 1940s, when he played with Louis Prima's big band. His fine tenor solo can be heard on Prima's 1943 version of "The White Cliffs of Dover."
He moved on to lead his own quartet before joining Krupa's big band from 1945 to 1948 and was the featured soloist on a number of recordings, including "How High the Moon," "Disc Jockey Jump" and "I Should Have Kept on Dreaming."
While living in the East, Mr. Kennedy also played with a number of other leading bands including groups led by Charlie Ventura, Flip Phillips and Chico O'Farrill.
After moving to the West Coast in 1950, he played with Med Flory, the Bill Holman Orchestra and most notably the Terry Gibbs Dream Band from 1959 to 1962.
Mr. Kennedy also was an active studio musician, playing on popular movies including "My Fair Lady" and "West Side Story."
But by the early 1970s he basically gave up his jazz career for a job to support his family, which by then included six children.
A native of New York, Mr. Kennedy had his first professional appearance by age 18 when he joined Prima's band. Prima hired him right out of high school.

What to check before going for a long drive ?
Every holiday period involves trips, longs drives and lots of planning. Wherever you are going, you need to take some precautions before taking the road. Here are some tips to drive safely and start your trip with no issues!
1 – Check and clean your windscreen wipers
They are essential in case of heavy rain or to remove dirt. There are different signs that show your windscreen wipers should be changed: if it has difficulty sliding, rubbing noises or strange movements… Sometimes it can just mean they need to be clean. Grab a cloth and clean them. You could save some money and troubles!
2 – Check your headlights
Headlights, indicators and rear lights need to be checked before any holiday departure. Their good working condition will enable other drivers to see you and also to keep you safe and to avoid fines. Ask a family member or a neighbour to help you check!
3 – Check your windscreen
If you see damage or imperfections and worry it might be serious, ask you Point S mechanic during your next visit. It is important to take care of deep cracks and chips in the glass as it can be dangerous.
4 – Check the condition and the pressure of your tyres
There are 3 main elements to consider when it comes to tyres:
-Tyre pressure need to be checked before any long drive. It is recommended to check when it is cold so the heat does not affect the reading. Good tyre pressure will make you save fuel and minimise the wear of your tyres.
-The tyre tread depth should exceed 1.6mm. Below this, your tyres are not safe and it increases your accident risk.
-Checking your tyre alignment and balance is important.
In good auto maintenance practices, tyres should be checked every 5,000 kms.
5 – Check your radiator
During summer, one of the reasons why the engine overheats is the radiator or a problem stemming from a fluid leak. When you stop your car, if you see a green, orange or yellow liquid under your car, it means there is a cooling liquid leak. You need to fix the problem before doing any long drive.
6 – Check your vehicle liquid’s levels
The oil, refrigerant (for the air-conditioning) and wiper fluid must be checked. A lack of oil can damage the engine and the lack of refrigerant can break the air-conditioning system. Those fixes are very expensive, that is why it is important to check those liquids levels regularly.
Power steering fluid and transmission fluid must be checked as well. If you have difficulty turning your vehicle and your steering wheel vibrates a lot when you stop, it means there is a lack of power steering liquid. Transmission fluid must be checked as well, especially if your car has a lot a mileage.
7 – Check your timing and driving belt
Make sure this aspect is checked during your next visit. Changing a belt isn’t expensive but repairing a damage caused by a broken belt is. The belt must be checked every 75,000 kms to 130,000 kms depending on your vehicle, by someone experienced.
8 – Check your exhaust pipe and rust
If you hear noises when you drive over potholes, your exhaust pipe might be detached. Most of the time, this fix just requires a little welding. When looking under your vehicle, pay attention to rust. If the rust has been there for a long time, it could break certain components when your car receives impacts. Have the rust on your car checked by a certified centre.
9 – Check your brakes
There are essential for your safety and other drivers’ safety. When you brake, and you feel that your braking distances increased and that when it is raining it is even worse, have your car checked immediately. Usually, brakes should be checked every 6 months.
10 – Check your battery and signs of corrosion
You can check it with a multimeter. The voltage should be between 12.5v for a 100% charge, and 14.5v when the motor is running. A voltage of 12.0v is equal to a charge of 25%, meaning you should charge your battery. Several signs can indicate a problem, such as:
- If start-up is slow or is difficult
- A rotten egg smell (sulphur), coming from a leak
- The electrical equipment is not functioning properly
If you are unsure, ask your mechanic. It is good to check the battery every 3 months.
11 – Check your emergency equipment
First aid-kit, spare tyres and tools must be in good condition. Also check that all your papers are up-to-date such as your license.
If you have all of these checked, you can drive with peace of mind while feeling safe in your vehicle.
However, if you'd rather have your vehicle checked by a professional, make an appointment directly with one of our experts!
