This is especially frustrating given the commercial was already pre-approved by British television advertising clearance body Clearcast, just one week ago, who then considered the humour in the advert, while not to everyone’s taste, fell short of causing offence.
But what this omitted was not that the objection was to the advert causing “offence” but that it was likely to create a worse situation for trans people. In the words of Helen Belcher of TransMediaWatch:
The issue was not about offence, but simply about respect. The advert placed real people at risk of humiliation or abuse simply because they could be perceived as being trans.
But Paddy Power cannot see the problem with their “humour”. Perhaps the readers of this post may not see it either, so let me spell it out. Transphobia is not about a mere laugh and a nudge at someone who is dressed differently from how you might expect them to look. It is about the daily hostility and humiliations some fellow human beings have to endure simply because they are seeking to realise themselves rather than have to impersonate somebody they are not.
Many trans people go about their lives in fear of the “mare or stallion” confrontations they have to suffer from strangers which Paddy Power is so gleefully happy to promote. And this mockery and taunting can sometimes lead to the sick violence of “tranny-bashing”. As the journalist Jane Fae writes about the Paddy Power adverts:
So the Paddy Power ad campaign is all just a bit of fun? Just for laughs?
Sadly, the evidence already beginning to come in is just the opposite – and pretty much in line with fears expressed at the supposedly more “alarmist” end of the spectrum.
Earlier this week, a trans woman flew into London, where she stayed overnight in a reasonably upmarket hotel. Yesterday, at breakfast, two of the waiters huddled together, staring at her. Shortly after they were joined by two more staff. One of them pointed.
As she explained later, she knew she’d been ‘read’. However, the last thing she expected was for a young Spanish waiter to be pushed forward.
He came over and asked her if she was in the Paddy Power advert.
He was speaking with sufficient lack of concern for her privacy that other guests were able to hear and, as a result, two business executives sat next to her loudly asked to be moved to a new table.[…] many of the “just a laugh” brigade will still be puzzled by all of this. After all, there was no violence: nothing.
Except that paid staff thought it was OK to humiliate her with impunity.
Such dreadful experiences are not unusual. As Patrick Strudwick writes today in the Gay Times:
[A] 60-something trans woman spoke about her life. She had only transitioned a few years ago, and when she did she lost her family, including her children. She did not break down as she said this. She did not pause for dramatic effect to let the devastating news sink into the audience. She mentioned it in passing – this is so normal for trans people that it is half expected.
She reminded me of a transgender woman I met at a hate crime rally a couple of years ago. “I get abuse every single day,” she said flatly, almost casually, “From name-calling to threats of murder.”
No gay person, apart from those being bullied at school, experiences that level of hate.
Paddy Power may not have thought they were promoting bullying; they may well have been “only joking”. But for them to seek some commercial advantage by stoking an already hostile environment for trans people was a vile and shameful exercise. Trans people surely have enough to put up with from other members of society, and it was wrong for Paddy Power to seek to make it yet more uncomfortable just so they can get more revenue from gamblers.
A modern liberal society should not encourage the banning of humorous adverts. No one should be a criminal just because of a bad joke, and no sensible person wants to criminalise advertisements made in bad taste. Freedom of expression is a basic right, just as are the rights to privacy and autonomy. We do not create a more civilized society by resorts to coercion against free speech. And, in practice, censorship is illiberal and often misconceived.
However, any exercise of freedom of expression certainly does not mean that others must fall silent. A more humane and liberal environment requires those who sneer should also be challenged and confronted. The rights to condemn and complain are just as much free speech acts as any “bit of fun”. After all, freedom of expression should work both ways, and not just for the benefit of big business.
So if there has to be a special system of regulation for broadcast advertisements, then it is certainly more humane for the voices of those seeking to promote a respectful and safe environment for marginalised people to prevail over the interests of a large and brash gambling company.
Fundamental to any modern liberal society is a sense of respect for all those whose road to self-realisation may be different from one’s own, as long as any person’s self-realisation does not violate the rights of others. How free speech can be squared with such personal autonomy is more a cultural and moral matter than a legalistic one.
Paddy Power may be enjoying their notoriety and their defiant pose. Any company whose business model is based on encouraging those with little money to gamble it away is unlikely to be a moral exemplar in any case. But they should perhaps reflect that some people do want to ban gambling, and why it is not banned.
It is because others are happy to live and let live that gambling exists as a major commercial concern. The popular sense is that if people want to gamble, and make money out of gambling, then it is entirely a matter for them. So it is disappointing that Paddy Power and so many others who take autonomy for granted in their own affairs are so ready to make it difficult for others to do the same. It is not only the bookmaker and the punter who should be able to get on with their lives free from the intrusions of others. The benefit of self-realisation should be open to us all.

SANTA ANA – Police have arrested two men who they believe are gang members in connection with an armed confrontation last month during which an off-duty Sheriff’s special officer fired several gunshots.
Sergio Elisazzaraz, 18, of Santa Ana, and Amaury Vega Luqueno, 25, of Rancho Santa Margarita, were both booked into the Santa Ana Jail on Thursday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
The Sheriff’s officer was driving to work on Jan. 19 when he got into a confrontation with the occupants of another vehicle that almost hit his, according to police. The other vehicle sped up, got in front of the officer’s car, and then pulled to the curb.
Four men got out of the vehicle, and one pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the officer, police said. The officer stopped his car and then fired several rounds from his service gun, but missed.
The four men fled in their vehicle.
Santa Ana detectives identified Elisazzaraz and Luqueno as suspects, Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said. He described both as documented gang members.
Detectives – working with a U.S. Marshal’s fugitive task force – had the two suspects under surveillance at a hotel on Thursday. They followed the suspects when they left the hotel, and stopped their car near 17th Street and Grand Avenue.
They arrested Elisazaraz and Luqueno without trouble. Bertagna said the investigation is continuing.
The special officer involved in the confrontation is one of about 330 employed by the Sheriff’s Department. They are sworn peace officers usually assigned to work security at county buildings or court houses.
Santa Ana police investigated the officer’s use of his gun, but found no reason to charge him criminally, saying he acted in self defense. The District Attorney’s Office typically investigates officer-involved shootings as well, but did not in this case because nobody was hit.

European shares dropped on Wednesday as fresh concern about the impact of the credit crunch on the banking sector hit financial shares, while a late spike in the oil price rekindled worries about inflation.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares closed down 2.4 percent at 1,179.64 points.
Banks were the worst performing sector in Europe, succumbing to pressure after two major Wall Street firms on Tuesday revived concern about the outlook for the entire sector.
Royal Bank of Scotland fell 6.4 percent, making it the top individual drag on the European market, while UBS and France's BNP Paribas and Societe Generale fell between 4.9 and 7.3 percent.
Consumer spending data from the United States that was in line with forecasts and the sudden jump in crude oil futures above $114 a barrel after weekly inventory data did little to reassure investors about the backdrop of slowing economic growth and high inflation.
"We had retail sales that were in line with expectations, so not earth-shattering. But being in line with expectations is not good enough these days, so that was a further threat to equities," said Heino Ruland, a strategist with FrankfurtFinanz.
"The markets were due for a correction because of falling crude and falling commodities but these are not good enough to lift markets because prices are still ... above levels seen last year." The FTSEurofirst had risen for two days in a row this week, but Wednesday's drop put the index on course for a flat performance this week.
With growth in the United States, the euro zone and Britain slowing, the Bank of England's quarterly inflation report that suggested it may even cut rates this year did not offer much in the way of support for the equities market.
The pound fell to near two-year lows against the dollar.
"The BoE report signals that there could be further rate cuts. This is supportive to the sector but of course it also demonstrates that the economic situation is still weak," said Christian Falkner, a trader at Alpha Trading in Frankfurt.
Finland's Sampo lost nearly 7 percent after the group released weaker-than-expected second-quarter earnings, making it the biggest percentage decliner within the sector.
Other insurers on the move included AXA, which lost 5 percent and Germany's Allianz, which lost 3.7 percent.
The DJStoxx index of insurance stocks was down 3.5 percent.
The sell-off in Europe ran deep, with declining issues outnumbering advancers by about six to one on the FTSEurofirst 300.
Utilities were among the few gainers after E.ON's second-quarter results beat forecasts and the company raised its outlook for full-year adjusted net income.
E.ON shares rose 0.3 percent, while France's EDF rose 0.5 percent and GDF Suez rose 1 percent.
Nuclear operator British Energy edged up 0.2 percent after its results were a lot better than some analysts' forecasts even after power station outages cut its first-quarter profit in half.
Mining stocks also gained, recovering from recent sharp losses along with a bounce in base and precious metal prices.
Rio Tinto rose 2.7 percent, Xstrata gained 2.8 percent and BHP Billiton rallied 3 percent.
Other gainers included Continental AG, which rose 2.2 percent after Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said Schaeffler is planning to raise its bid for the automotive supplier.

Medical insurance is mandatory to protect your family's health
against unpredicted events of sickness or injury. Before opting for
health coverage, you should go through your family's medical needs
and your budget. Being a Delaware resident, you can choose from
various product alternatives. The Delaware Insurance Department
supervises the legislature under which the Delaware health insurers
can sell private health plans to individuals and families.
Delaware insurance companies are not required to provide guarantee issued coverage to the applicant. This means that they may accept or decline the applicants based on their health history or current health status. Furthermore, there are no rate caps imposed on insurance companies offering individual health plans in the state. Creditable coverage need only be offered to persons that are HIPAA eligible and have been covered under a group health plan for at least 18 months that did not expire within the past 63 days. For those that are not HIPAA eligible, the insurance companies may place exclusions on the issuance of the policy that exempts them from paying benefits on any disclosed pre-existing medical condition. The state has not specified the time limit for the exclusion of pre-existing health conditions. However, the insurance companies can look back in your 60-month health history to decide whether you are already suffering from pre-existing conditions. As in most insurance policies, Delaware health insurers provide individual and family health plan based on your age, health status and lifestyle habits. The health plans usually vary from one health insurer to another.
Search for plans and the costs associated with them using the search box above. We provide individual, family, Medicare supplemental, group and student health plan quotes for you to compare on all states and zip codes. Remember that having coverage leads to a healthier lifestyle as you are able to get regular doctor checkups and therefore a low-cost premium.
For medical insurance purposes, a small group can range from 1 to 50 employees. Companies with between 2 and 50 employees are entitled to receive "guaranteed issue" health insurance. This means that they can't be denied coverage, regardless of the overall health status or history of the employees that they wish to include on the group plan. Income tax documentation from the previous quarter may be required from the insurance company to verify which employees are eligible for coverage. to qualify for the group plan, the company must have two employees working for at least 6 months of the year and 20 hours per week. In addition, over half of the eligible employees must reside within the state of Delaware. A self-employed business owner may be able to obtain group health plans in Delaware but is subject to medical review. If they meet the medical guidelines of the insurance carrier, they may select any health plan that is available to larger groups. If they do not meet medical review, they will be offered a selection of a couple of plans that are offered on a "guaranteed issue" basis to one-man groups. Enrollment in a one-man group health plan may also be subject to bi-annual enrollment periods. Depending on the size of the group, insurance companies may adjust the standard published premium up by as much as 35%.
Groups of more than 20 insured employees must follow federal COBRA guidelines which allow any employee to remain on the group health plan for 18 months after leaving employment with the company, regardless of the reason they are leaving. In some cases, a person may be eligible to remain on COBRA for 36 months. This includes person that meet disability guidelines, a widow and the deceased member's children. The insured would be responsible for premium payment of the coverage along with 2% administrative fees. Delaware does not have a state mini-COBRA regulation for companies with less than 20 employees.

GETVIRTUAL-PD: GEnetic Counseling Through Virtual Visits in Parkinson’s Disease
GETVIRTUAL-PD is a genetic counseling study at the University of Pennsylvania. Eligible participants from the MIND Initiative at Penn will be able to receive some of their genetic results through GETVIRTUAL-PD.
The study is conducted at the University of Pennsylvania only. Thomas Tropea is the Primary Investigator, Rachel Paul and Tanya Bardakjian are the certified genetic counselors, and Noah Han is the coordinator
Participants will complete pre-test genetic counseling virtually – either via videoconferencing with a genetic counselor, or via a new online genetic counseling tool designed for the study called IMAGINE-PD. Later, results for common mutations within two Parkinson's-related genes (GBA and LRRK2) will be discussed via phone or videoconferencing with the genetic counselor.
This study is open to participants with Parkinson’s disease and their family members who have already enrolled in the MIND Initiative. Please contact Noah at 215-829-8560 if you are interested in learning about how to participate.
Visit https://www.med.upenn.edu/mind/parkinsons-disease-mind-initiative-cohort.html to learn more about the MIND Initiative.
IMAGINE-PD: Interactive Multimedia Approach to Genetic Counseling to Inform and Educate in Parkinson’s Disease
IMAGINE-PD is an online genetic counseling tool developed by the GETVIRTUAL-PD study team at the University of Pennsylvania. The team includes Parkinson’s disease care providers and certified neurogenetic counselors from the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center at Penn. During development, it was also reviewed by additional Parkinson’s disease research experts in the field. The IMAGINE-PD online tool will take the place of pre-test genetic counseling for some participants in the GETVIRTUAL-PD research study.

When vacating lab space, it is necessary to determine the level of decontamination or decommissioning necessary far in advance of the exit date. Of course there are many details involved in decontaminating a lab space, but the overall level required is the first question to be answered.
When a full decommissioning is conducted, a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) is involved in the process. The CIH develops a sampling plan and decontamination protocol based on a review of the hazardous materials used and hazardous processes utilized in the laboratories. The sampling results are reviewed by the CIH, and a certified report summarizing the details of the decommissioning is written. When a decontamination is conducted, a review of the hazardous materials used and hazardous processes utilized in the laboratories is still conducted and a decontamination procedure is developed. The laboratory spaces are then physically decontaminated following the appropriate disinfection and decontamination procedures based on the hazards.
Lease requirements often stipulate the level of decontamination or decommissioning necessary upon exiting a space, but some companies opt to complete a full decommissioning even when lease conditions do not require it. Taking the step to complete a full decommissioning with sampling and a certified report provides companies with concrete evidence that the laboratory spaces were clean when the premises were vacated.

TSKHINVAL, May 1. /TASS/. The first batch of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine was delivered to South Ossetia on Friday, the republic’s government told TASS.
"Today we received the first batch of the anti-coronavirus vaccine from Russia," the source said.
According to South Ossetia’s Health and Social Development Minister Alla Chochiyeva, the republic is now ready to launch a vaccination campaign.
"We make no distinction between categories of citizens, do not designate groups that should be vaccinated on the first-priority basis. We will vaccinate everyone who wishes to do so," she said.
The republic’s president, Anatoly Bibilov, earlier told TASS that vaccination will be voluntary. He also expressed readiness to receive the Russian jab.
According to the South Ossetia’s sanitary watchdog, 3,311 novel coronavirus cases have been registered in the republic with the population of about 50,000. A total of 2 984 patients have recovered.


President Joe Biden is meeting with the heads of Amazon, Apple, JPMorgan and several other large US companies Wednesday to talk about cybersecurity issues — after a series of high-profile hacks this year have left both business leaders and the US government reeling.
The list of CEOs headed to the White House includes Amazon’s Andy Jassy, Google’s Sundar Pichai, Apple’s Tim Cook and JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon, according to Reuters.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, IBM chief Arvind Krishna and Tom Fanning, the CEO of utility giant Southern Co, will also be present — as will executives from insurance companies including Travelers.
The tycoons will meet with top Biden administration cybersecurity officials like recently confirmed National Cybersecurity Director Chris Inglis, as well as Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
The topics of discussion will reportedly include ransomware, critical infrastructure, supply chain security, cybersecurity education and data breach insurance policy.
The news comes after a raft of hacks this year that have left several US companies scrambling — including a T-Mobile data breach that affected 53 million customers, a hack of email accounts run by Microsoft that the US government says was a Chinese espionage operation, and an attack on the Colonial Pipeline that shut down operations and led the company to pay an $4.3 million ransom.
The White House frequently meets with tech companies over cybersecurity issues — but Wednesday’s event is unique in its inclusion of the insurance industry, three people familiar with the event told Reuters.
Insurance companies play an important part in covering damages associated with data breaches. Experts say that influencing the insurance market’s policies around cyberattacks could bring widespread improvements to cyber defense systems throughout the private industry.
“The increased use of cyber insurance over the last 10 years has been an unfortunate stimulant to ransomware gangs — it has encouraged more attacks as insured victims are often quite willing to rapidly pull the trigger on ransom payments knowing that they will be reimbursed by insurance,” Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of the cybersecurity-focused think tank Silverado Policy Accelerator, told Reuters.

We have had some requests to do a Christmas version of our burlap wreath. Check back next week for a few Christmas wreath ideas and also our first giveaway! Speaking of giveaways we wanted to let you know about a fun one to enter today. We are featured on a blog called SimplyUT and they have a Crate and Barrel giveaway going on today. Click here to enter. The first Crate and Barrel opens in Utah tomorrow and I am getting ready to go to their designer preview tonight.
Until I get one of our Christmas wreaths on my door I wanted to have a fall one for the next few weeks.
Fall Burlap wreath DiY.
Step 1: Purchase a straw wreath and leave the plastic on.
Step 2: You will need one yard of a brown or natural colored burlap. I like the brown. Cut the yard into strips of burlap.
Step 3: Wrap the strips around the entire wreath. You can hot glue the end of each strip to keep it more secure.
Step 4: Glue the last strip to the back.
Step 5: Purchase Decorative leaves. We purchased ours at Hobby Lobby for half off.
Step 6: Grab your glue gun and start gluing.
Your fall wreath is finished. You can trim the stray strings on the wreath or leave some of them frayed. I left most of mine for a more rustic fall look.

Sure Ventures plc is a London listed venture capital fund which invests in early stage software companies in the rapidly growing technology areas of augmented reality (‘AR’), virtual reality (‘VR’), Internet of Things (‘IoT’) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are pleased to provide an update on the Company’s investment portfolio.
SURE VALLEY VENTURES FUND
Sure Ventures made a €7million commitment to Sure Valley Ventures Fund (‘Sure Valley’) representing an interest in Sure Valley of approximately 25.9%. This commitment was made at a price of €1.00 per share. The current NAV of the Sure Valley Ventures ICAV is 1.0767 Euros.
Sure Valley has several investments across the AI, AR, VR and IoT sectors:
VR Education Holdings – https://immersivevreducation.com/
VRE is a ground-breaking developer of Virtual Reality (‘VR’) software and immersive experiences with a specific focus on education and enterprise learning and development. VRE’s core platform is the Engage VR platform that enables educators to develop VR education experiences and enterprises to develop corporate learning and development VR simulations for workplace training.
The company has released five major products to date and has recently signed a commercial agreement with Deutsche Telecom for the launch of a 5G VR device. The current COVID-19 outbreak really has highlighted the use/power of virtual reality for teaching, seminars, business meetings and conferences. This is reflected in the market reaction to VR Education since mid-March.
VRE also received a strategic investment of €3m from HTC Corporation, which is a major milestone for the company and coincides with a commercial global licensing and sales distribution deal for the Engage Platform. Importantly, this is only exclusive with HTC in Asia and still allows them to partner with other distributers in US, Europe and other international jurisdictions.
As a result of this investment VRE’s stock price increased substantially enabling Sure Valley to sell 3,362,000 shares (£ 522,422), which was equivalent to Sure Valleys original investment (inc costs) and return this to the investors in Sure Valley which included Sure Ventures (note this return of funds will show in the Q3 report). Sure Valley Ventures still holds 10,578,580 shares in VRE and plans to hold them for the medium term. The appreciation in the VRE share price during Q2 valued our investment in VRE at a 3x uplift from the end of Q1.
Licensing agreements were also signed with Tokyo Global Gateway (Online education specialist) and an MOU with the virtual college show that Engage Platform is making real traction. Existing relationships with Deutsche Telecom and Victory XR continue to make progress and commercialising the Engage Platform is the ongoing focus. The lockdown environment of COVID-19 worldwide has intensified the need for educators and businesses to adapt and the Engage Platform is a clear winner given its capabilities.
WarDucks – www.warducks.com
Founded by former Facebook employee, Nikki Lannen, WarDucks mission is to build incredible, high quality, fun augmented and virtual reality games. The company has six bestselling titles under its belt, the latest two of which were Top Ten on PlayStation VR. To enable the company to take this product to the market it completed a series A round of €3.284 million in Q1, with new investors EQT investing €2.58 million, Sure Valley following on to maintain it percentage with €453,858.32 and existing investors making up the remaining investment. The transaction completed on the 29th of March 2019. This represented a 4x unrealised uplift in our initial investment.
Nikki and her team received high public praise from Tim Cook (Apple CEO) on the AR game being built and was quoted as saying ” WarDucks set out to create a game with fun, engaging and colourful characters and they nailed it”.
Wia – www.wia.io
WIA is a ground-breaking Internet of Things (IoT) cloud platform enabling developers to turn any type of sensor device into a secure, smart and useful application in a matter of minutes. WIA is the easiest and fastest way to link sensors and devices to develop IoT applications. WIA’s end-to-end platform provides full device and application management, security, data capture and storage, analysis, control, as well as the launch and seamless integration of enterprise systems. WIA also just launched its own hardware product called the “Dot One” https://www.wia.io/dot-one as an entry level device for first time makers
During the Covid lockdown the company has focused on developing IoT Tech to help businesses return to the workplace safely. In June Wia released the next iteration of the Wia Cloud. The new Wia Cloud is designed to help businesses understand and monitor their building, making it a powerful tool in the effort to return to the workplace. The new Wia Cloud is an Internet of Things platform designed to enable Real Estate, Operations and Facilities Management teams to understand the performance of their building and make data-based decisions.
This new update brings in a host of new tools and features, namely around three use cases;
- Occupancy and Space Utilisation
- Energy Utilisation
- Regulation Compliance
Wia offers end-to-end services for a range of smart building solutions including people counting, space utilisation monitoring, energy utilisation monitoring and air-quality monitoring. To achieve this, Wia deploys a constellation of IoT devices to accurately capture data wirelessly. These devices are then connected to a secure, private IoT network. The collected data is sent to the Wia Cloud platform where it is processed and can be visualised and used to make informed operational decisions. Building operators can also set up commands and notifications based on custom triggers such as creating an alert to clean the restrooms after it has been used 40 times.
Cameramatics – www.cameramatics.com
Cameramatics is the leader in CameraMatics solutions for commercial fleets. They deliver products that allow fleet managers to reduce fleet risk, increase driver safety and comply with growing governance and compliance regulations. Cameramatics has merged 4 key technologies: video input systems (cameras and scanners), smart processing systems, communications systems and unique algorithmic IP to deliver intelligent driver and fleet safety systems. To support further growth and USA market entry the company has started meeting investors to lead its series A round which we had expected that to close in Q2, but is now anticipated to close in Q3.
NDRC Arc Labs – http://www.arclabs.ie/
The NDRC@ArcLabs investment was structured as a subscription and as a limited Partner to the Accelerator. The purpose of the Accelerator is source and develop 30 start-ups over two years that Sure Valley has the right to invest in. The Accelerator is running three calls for 10 start-ups over 2 years in areas that are related to the fund’s investment strategy of AR/VR, IoT and AI. As a result of the Accelerator’s programme significantly overlapping with the Fund’s investment areas, we see this Accelerator being a source of proprietary deal flow.
Nova Leah – https://www.novaleah.com/
Nova Leah is the leader in cyber security for connected medical devices and is an IoT investment by Sure Valley. Nova Leah sells directly to the top medical device manufactures typically in Boston, and the west coast of the USA. The company’s first product SelectEvidence helps medical device manufacturers identify and address cyber-security issues throughout the manufacturing and release process of their connected medical devices. Sure Valley invested 750K euros in the company for 10.62% of the business fully diluted. Anita Finnegan (CEO) is happy with progress and Nova Leah is now working with 6 of the world largest medical device manufacturers.
The company is making good progress on its Annual reoccurring revenue (ARR) and is in the final stages of completing a deal with a major US med-tech company which will bring its ARR close to the €1m mark to support the company towards a Series A raise, which is planned to start in early 2021.
Admix Ltd – https://admixplay.com/
Admix has developed what is called a Supply-Side Platform (SSP) which enables developers to monetize their content by creating, managing and sell advertising inventory. Being an SSP, Admix is a broker that sells developers (think WarDucks) inventory programmatically at scale. Being programmatic automatizes the buying/selling process. Admix enables, for the first time, VR/AR inventory to become immediately available to thousands of advertisers connected to the existing ecosystem, which provides VR/AR developers with instant revenue. The company completed a Series A funding round to scale their platform announced on April the 15th 2020 at a 4.5x uplift from the seed round where Sure Valley originally invested. We followed on with a further £443K pounds in the institutional led investment round.
The COVID-19 environment has led to significantly higher consumption of digitalized content, which creates a positive market dynamic for Admix and its programmatic platform.
VividQ Ltd – https://vivid-q.com/
VividQ is a deep tech software company with world-leading expertise in 3D holography: the next generation display technology. Holography has long been considered the ultimate display technology. The science fiction ideal of engineering and manipulating light to produce 3D projections appealed to the imagination of millions through franchises such as Star Wars or Star Trek. Holography overcomes these issues and paves the way for immersive 3D without the need for glasses at all. VividQ disrupts existing ways of creating 3D images, such as stereo or autostereo-display, to power the next generation of holographic VR headsets, AR smart glasses, and automotive head-up displays. Sure Valley invested £500K in preference shares at a pre-money valuation of £6.5m for a total stake of 5.23% fully diluted. Sure Ventures have invested alongside Fluxunit and UTEC and adoption of the technology is accelerating, announcing partnerships with Himax and Compound Photonics, with a strong pipeline developing with some of the world’s leading and well-known brands.
VividQ are now working with some of the worlds largest and leading businesses in both technology hardware and software, the automotive space and optic technology companies, exploring the commercial uses of holography.
Ambisence – https://ambisense.net/
Ambisense’s Ambilytics™ platform optimises the delivery of environmental risk assessment on some of the world’s largest infrastructure projects across industrial, Oil & Gas and Waste Management verticals, partnering with global multinationals such as CEMEX, SGS & Arcadis. Ambilytics™ encompasses both IoT and AI solutions, combining information from remotely deployed field devices with contextual data sources such as weather, satellite, geophysical and operational data to build machine learning models.
Ambisense were awarded a contract supporting Highways England in the planned Lower Thames Crossing project. The project is the largest single biggest road infrastructure project since the M25 was completed more than 30 years ago.
Since completing our investment, Ambisense have identified increasingly significant government backed infrastructure projects which via tender process, the company have been successful in winning. In two particular use cases, the contractors concerned feared that the technology they required ‘didn’t exist in the market’, but such is the power behind Ambylitics and the ability of the Company to design effective and bespoke monitoring models, the Company has been successful in winning these multi-year, recurring revenue contracts.
The Company successfully operates on a break-even basis, despite Covid-19 related issues. In fact, it has been successful in winning new contracts due to their ability to solve for IOT monitoring models, whatever the circumstances.
GetVisibility – https://www.getvisibility.com/

Since our investment the company has developed partnerships and is in discussion with global players that if secured as key customers would be significant milestone for the product offering and put GetVisibility firmly on the map at global scale.
Buymie Technologies – https://www.buymie.eu/
The Company was founded in 2016 by Devan Hughes and Artavazd Sokhikyan. Devan previously worked for Salesforce.com, specializing in commercial efficiency, platform architecture and data management within the FMCG and Automotive Manufacturing sectors. Having also worked in the Energy markets for many years in the area of network optimisation.

Delivery charges from €3.99 (free for orders over €100), up to 30% cheaper than visiting a traditional convenience store. More convenient than traditional eCommerce platforms reducing the environmental impact of grocery shopping.
Sure Valley initially invested in Buymie’s Seed round in March 2020, investing €300,000 at a pre-money valuation of €8,000,000 giving Sure Valley a fully diluted equity position of 3%. The seed round was led by ACT Venture capital with participation from Haatch Ventures, BVP Ventures, HBAN and Enterprise Ireland.
Sure Valley subsequently participated in Buymie’s Series A round which was completed in June 2020. The total amount of capital raised was €5,400,000 and was led by a large family office. The pre-money valuation was €15,000,000. Sure Valley invested €510,000 and has a fully diluted equity position of 5.05%.
Investments made directly by Sure Ventures plc:
Immotion PLC (‘Immotion’), is a UK based company that creates its own high-quality VR content and enhances the immersive experience by coupling this content with motion simulation. Sure Ventures made a £500,000 investment in February 2018. Immotion’s Q1 trading update released on 15th Jan 2020showed a strong pace of headset deployment, with 93 headsets to be installed by the end of Q1. They have installed their out of home headsets in the London Sea life centre on the South Bank and numerous aquariums and entertainment sites. The company had forecast EBITDA breakeven at or around the end of Q1 and its pipeline was strong. The Covid-19 outbreak has of course hit their model hard as stated in its trading update released on the 11th of March 2020. The management team are taking steps to cut costs and ensure working capital requirements are met.
The company have recently announced that the Mandalay Bay (Vegas based) attraction and a number of the sites within their portfolio have re-opened and a COVID 19 cleaning system is also being offered to their estate to help with consumer confidence.
VividQ- In addition to the Sure Valley stake of £500K, Sure Ventures has also made a direct investment into VividQ of £500k at the recommendation of the AIFM. The board identified the opportunity as a suitable and complimentary investment for Sure Ventures and agreed that this was an exciting deep technology company that could have developed a solution that changes the way that people view content in 3D. Holography could be the next generation of display technology and the types of companies that are early stage adopters of VividQ’s software offers shareholders and exciting opportunity. We remain excited about the progress being made here and anticipate that 2020 could be a transformational year for the company.
Sure Ventures Director, Gareth Burchell said, “Despite the major disruption to the global economy by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been very impressed with the resilience and performance of the portfolio. We would like to congratulate both the AIFM Shard Capital and the Management teams of the underlying investments. It is particularly pleasing to see an uplift of 6.77% in our NAV with the series A completion of Buymie as well as the major milestone of HTC’s investment in VRE. The share price of both VRE and Immotion Plc have lifted from a low base at the start of the pandemic. We look forward to updating investors on the progress of the portfolio as a whole as we progress into Q3.”

It was only a matter of time until I made a larger-size magnolia painting. This one is 24×24 inches, which is not that large, but definitely bigger than the ones I’d made so far.
I had a really nice day today. It was a beautiful spring day and I went to look at houses with my friends. Later I had a wonderful gallery visit. But overall it was a wonderful day mostly because it felt light and I felt at peace.
As to the magnolia painting, it looks different in different light. Sometimes it looks pinker than others.
Also, perhaps it’s important to mention that I’m now totally in love with the new phone.

One of the most distinctive features of the original Scirocco was the way its waistline kicked up under the rear side window. This is reprised in the new Scirocco, but this time the stance is toughened-up with solid shoulders flanking the tapering upper cabin. There’s also a curving crease along the lower body, which seems to push the wheels harder to the road.
The Scirocco looks taut, compact, ready for a good time. Park it next to an original one, though, and it makes the ancestor look supermini-sized. It demonstrates just how much cars have grown. The upside is that the new car has proper space in the back for two adults, although the narrow side windows make the space claustrophobic and the rear window is so small that it doesn’t even fill the rear-view mirror.
No matter; the Scirocco feels snug and sporting. Sounds it, too. There’s a deep, crisp hum from the twin exhaust pipes, but far from intrusive. This is good: it’s the sound of machinery at work. The combination of direct fuel injection and turbocharging is the modern petrol engine’s salvation.

The October Domestic Violence Drive went splendidly. We had hundreds turn out for a very successful two days. The shelters were thrilled with our contribution.
HealthLink Initiative is dedicated to relieving the strain of health and wellness costs for victims of abuse. One in every four women and one in every nine men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. The annual cost of domestic violence exceeds $8.8 billion each year, of which $5.8 billion is for health-related costs. This financial burden in addition to the emotional cost can be a limiting factor in making a change to a new and safer life.
HLI will continue to support this need and save lives.

In "The Staff and the Scrip" Dante Rossetti depicts a Pilgrim undertaking an inevitably fatal task for the sake of both earthly love and moral duty. The Pilgrim is informed in the beginning of the poem that he will be killed if he attempts to defeat the wicked Duke Luke, and the Queen urges him to stay behind with her. However, as suggested by the first stanza above, in which the particular tears of the Queen are "confused . . . with visages supreme not known to him," the Pilgrim views earthly life as a place where hardships are to be endured, and men tested, in the hope of a divine afterlife. As he rides out into battle, his thoughts are on the "lands he never knew," the afterlife that will be his reward for his steadfast trust in God.
Right so, he knew that he saw weep
Each night through every dream
The Queen's own face, confused in sleep
With visages supreme
Not known to him.
'Lady,' he said, 'your lands lie burnt
And waste: to meet your foe
All fear: this I have seen and learnt.
Say that it shall be so,
And I will go.'
She gazed at him. 'Your cause is just,
For I have heard the same:'
He said: 'God's strength shall be my trust.
Fall it to good or grame,
'Tis in His name.'
'Sir, you are thanked. My cause is dead.
Why should you toil to break
A grave, and fall therein?' she said.
He did not pause but spake:
'For my vow's sake.'
Whereas the Pilgrim is described in terms of his motion onward, the Queen is described as stationary, oriented only towards her present situation; she "sat idle" in her still, silent hall as the Pilgrim entered. Her maids, meanwhile, despair of finding meaning in the world, the eldest dismissing reports of strange signs with the phrase "'Tis our sense is blurr'd." The Pilgrim leaves to the Queen his staff and scrip which, rather than the "letters writ to calm her soul" that the Queen looks for, are reminders of the transience of life.
1. How do the beliefs of the Pilgrim differ from that of the narrator? What place does the narrator have in the poem? What signs of his presence can we find?
2. How does the Pilgrim relate to earthly objects and people? Consider the line "He kissed its blade, all bare, / instead of her." Where does his love for the Queen fit into his worldview?
3. As in The Blessed Damozel and the poem with the same title Rossetti presents religious conceptions that he does not personally believe in, but complicates them by blurring the lines between secular and religious love. Do these two poems share a similar relationship to religion, or do they differ in any fundamental aspects?
4. What effect is Rossetti attempting to produce with short lines and terse verbal exchanges of the poem?
5. How does the depiction of time in the poem relate to its view of the world? To Rossetti's conception of time and meaning in general?

The former footballer is currently taking part in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother as part of the All stars vs New stars format.
Laura Carter, who took part int he 2016 series, admitted she’d briefly dating Jamie while on Twitter.
The Sun reports that she wrote to her 54k followers: “Some people are trying to sell stories on me and @mrjamieohara1.
“To clarify, there were a few dates and then it fizzled out.”
Here tweets, which have now been deleted, added: “@mrjamieohara1 and I are still friends and I will still support him in CBB.
“Whoever you are, stop stirring it up.”
While in the famous house, Laura was famed for her shocking antics with Marco Pierre White Jr.
The couple got frisky when Marco said that he’d been granted a “hall pass” from his fiancée. They split shortly after.
Meanwhile Jamie was previously married to another CBB star, Danielle Lloyd.
They tied the knot in 2012 and had three sons together, Archie, Harry and George.
However they split after nearly three years when it was alleged that Jamie had cheated on his wife.
Jamie recently opened up to fellow housemate Nicola McLean about his regrets over his marriage to the model ending in the way that it did.
"Looking back on it, our relationship was wild, I was playing football, being a young kid, I had so much and you just think f**k it.
"But now when I think about some of the stuff I did, I realise I was a f**king pr**k and I regret it.”
He added: "What I did was really bad.
"I really wanted the marriage to work, but I messed it up."
The 30 year old also revealed how he told his ex about his appearance in CBB.
"I couldn't tell her I was coming in here, so I emailed her last minute and just said I won't be around for a few weeks, but I'll catch up with the boys when I'm back,” he said.
"Then she emailed me back and just said, don't talk about me and I thought cheers, thanks for the support."

The immune system protects the human body against infectious and malignant disease. The concept of an immune system arose because of the observation that an attack of measles or mumps, two common childhood disease, conferred an immunity on the individual, the immunity being specific to the disease. It was only much later that it was discovered that a system in the body conferred this immunity. This article discusses the various components of the immune system, how they develop and their action in conferring immunity.

STREETS LONG GONE
WHERE DID THESE STREETS GO?
Apthorpe’s Lane - Parts were renamed Jauncey Lane and Turin Lane. It came into being before the Revolutionary War and connected the Bloomingdale Road with the Eastern Post Road near today’s East 96th Street and Fifth Avenue. It went as far west as today’s West End Avenue and crossed the Bloomingdale Road between West 93rd and 94th Streets.
Asylum Lane – It ran from near 112th Street between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway and went north into the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum near 116th Street. After the sale of the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum to Columbia in 1892, it was abandoned.

The City of Cape Town recently held a discussion with property developers on how the municipality is prioritizing property development and job creation.
According to the City of Cape Town, property developers indicated that doing business with the municipality was far easier when compared to other metros with the City’s planning department having approved 17 386 building plans between the 26th of March 2020 and the 1st of April 2021.
Post the discussion, it was decided that an advisory panel will be established to facilitate greater collaboration between property developers and the City and to address regulatory challenges.
“The City of Cape Town has worked hard to continue economic recovery and development through its commitment to prioritise projects which boost the economy and offer job creation” commented Executive Mayor Dan Plato.
“We have chosen to establish an advisory panel, so infrastructure development is advanced in a quicker, consultative and responsible manner. The property development sphere is a regulatory-heavy environment and requires greater input and discussions with the development industry to identify where we can offer further support and partner with them. We must do all we can to ensure that challenges of land invasions and regulatory hurdles do not limit possibilities for development in the sector”.
The advisory panel is envisaged to consist of property developers and City of Cape Town officials from the City’s planning department with the group to meet on a bi-monthly and monthly basis to identify opportunities, challenges, and work to streamline the development application process.
One of the significant developments underway is the Amdec Group’s Harbour Arch in Cape Town’s Foreshore. Some of the benefits of this development include the creation of more than 13 000 jobs during its construction phase, upgrades to infrastructure to the value of R90 million and 5 000 permanent jobs due to the hospitality and retail elements.
Another project includes the Belville CBD Catalytic Precinct Project in the Belville CBD and surrounds, with the potential for redevelopment and upgrades.
The City’s remote application system for building applications has enabled officials to continue with remote service delivery, including the circulation of development applications to commenting departments and organisations.
Ways to streamline facilitation of development projects with the City of Cape Town:
- Simplifying the Planning by-law and Development Management Scheme through the current review process. Proposed advisory panel to consider inputs into this process.
- Facilitating ‘High impact investments’ under the leadership of senior planning officials in the District Offices.
- Working with the City of Cape Town Investment Office to facilitate international investment.
- Strengthening engagement with applicants and interested and affected parties or communities.
David Green of the V&A Waterfront mentioned that the CBD has always been a vibrant city, but that the national lockdown has led to a situation of reduced foot traffic. The Cape Town CBD relies on foot traffic of workers in the city and now that more people are working remotely, it in turn has had a knock-on effect of placing pressure on business revenue streams. Green said the current situation does raise questions of securing long-term development and that intervention was needed to ensure the sustainability of the sector.
As a response, the Acting Executive Director of Spatial Planning and Environment, Erika Naude, discussed some of the interventions being implemented in the City, including the identification of possible alternative uses for buildings, or converting them, while also growing the informal trading sector in public spaces to encourage greater footfall. The Development Management System and the Municipal Planning By-Law will be reviewed to identify any areas which hinder the development process and help it to operate more efficiently. This intention has been advertised to receive input from the private sector and professional bodies, among others.
Naude added that officials are working hard to ensure that efforts are made to streamline regulatory processes and that the advisory panel would greatly assist in ensuring developments are processed as efficiently as possible. Covid-19 has had a significant impact on operations, but this is improving.

By Enrique Garcia, Urban Farmer with Garden Farms
When I first started trying to grow my own food I was almost 40 years old. I had just become vegan and was well on my way to losing 140 pounds. My life and health changed dramatically. I had also learned about the horrors of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and our corrupt food industry; how so much had changed since our grandparents grew up on farms. Plant-based was definitely the way to go, so I figured I’d better learn how to grow this stuff as buying organic was a tad bit expensive, especially when you have kids.
So I went and bought all the things I thought I’d need to start my own garden. $80 worth – a couple bags of soil, seeds (Non-GMO and organic), a farmer hat and the ubiquitous tool set everyone has seen by now with a trowel (which I call a digger) , pruners (“tweezers”) and that 3-prong thingy which 7 years later I still haven’t found a use for!
I planted my seeds and hoped for the best. Tomatoes, jalapenos and some herbs, like basil & oregano. One by one they died a miserable death and several months later all I had to show for my efforts was a single tiny cherry tomato … but it was the best tomato I had ever tasted! I was hooked…
I know what you’re thinking; the next year I corrected and improved my methods and figured it all out? No!! My 2nd attempt I grew even less food!! Zero. Zilch. Nada. I planted next to the Southern-most wall in my yard, so I gradually lost all sunlight as the months passed. I assumed I had a Brown Thumb and should just give up. Not a very auspicious start.
But today here I stand; having grown thousands of pounds of delicious organic fruits and vegetables and I work for Garden Farms where I teach kids in our school system how to grow their own in the fastest growing school garden system in the country.
What changed? I simply did one thing. I never gave up.
And I finally did what almost no one does. I got some expert advice.
The fact is there is no such thing as a Brown Thumb. Anyone (and I mean anyone), can learn to grow their own food.
I’m not sure why people go blindly into gardening, “Yes, just take that fragile plant and put it against that brick wall in 115 degree heat and hope for the best.” Imagine if we did the same when it came time to learn to drive, simply handing the keys over to teenagers, wish them luck and set them loose on the highway? I know in this scenario lives are at stake… but tell that to the plants!
I eventually became a Master Gardener (which I now define as someone who has killed more plants than you) and I realized the mistakes I was making. The fact is most people are breaking only 1 or 2 gardening rules, which if they corrected, they’d be well on their way to growing their own food.
Which is what we aim to teach at the 2nd annual Grow Your Own Festival on Saturday October 7th, 10am to 4 pm at Vegas Roots Community Garden.
Festival highlights include novice to advanced gardening workshops such as How to Garden in Las Vegas, Beds Buckets or Towers, Container Gardening 101, Gardening With Your Kids, Growing Garden Towers, Hydro & Aquaponics, Fruit & Nut Trees in the Desert, Herb Gardens Galore and Composting 101.
Join us on Saturday October 7th, and learn to Grow Your Own!
