Each design in 4 cardstyle options - accommodating your taste as well as your budget.
Many people will purchase some number of their baby announcements in the Classic Vellum Overlay style and the rest in the less expensive Simplicity style. That way, they can afford to send an announcement to everyone on their list (and their husband's list and their mom's list... etc!)
Upon request, an email proof of your baby's announcement is sent for your approval prior to printing, at no charge.
||A Gift To Treasure...
I wanted to take a second to thank you for the beautiful baby birth announcements, along with the extra care and attention you gave to them.
To us, the announcements would encompass everything we wanted to convey to family and friends about our new baby. This put a lot of responsibility on the cards I selected.
After spending weeks looking through magazines, catalogs and websites, I found Babies and Brides. As soon as I saw the Classic Vellum Overlay "Clara" announcement, I knew this was the one I had to have... it literally moved me to tears. The ethereral photograph combined with the biblical verse was exactly what I wanted in our baby's birth announcement.
The response has been unbelievable. To say people are raving is an understatement. Everyone is telling me they are the most gorgeous announcements they have ever seen.
These announcements are truly keepsakes which people will keep and cherish forever...
I realize I will never have enough words to thank you. You've given me the perfect way to announce my angel to the world... and she deserves no less.
Thank you again for all you have done.

Prabhas crashes 37 cars, SUVs and four trucks in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi - The team has been stationed here for more than three weeks to shoot for an action sequence.
The warrior of Baahubali Prabhas sounded as excited as a small child when he revealed that he crashed many cars, SUVs and trucks while shooting for triangular thriller Saaho in Abu Dhabi.
The team has been stationed here for more than three weeks to shoot for an action sequence.
"We had a plan and we went to action director Kenny Bates two year back. Kenny came to Abu Dhabi for recce and he loved the location. He wanted to shoot everything live. Almost 90 per cent of whatever that we are going to show on screen is real. He wanted to show the real cars. He wanted the real cars to fly. We crashed around 27 cars and five trucks. We wanted everything real instead of going for CGI as it gives a real impact. Generally, you have 70 per cent CG and 30 per cent real but over here in Abu Dhabi, we opted for a more real shoot. This will be something that no one has seen before," said Prabhas while talking to the UAE media in Abu Dhabi.
The producer of the movie, later on, confirmed that they actually crash 37 cars and not 27.
Popular Hollywood stunt director Kenny Bates got attracted towards the access that Abu Dhabi gave to big bridges, tall building, infrastructures and beautiful roads. They shot the film mostly in the city and very little in the desert.
Prabhas said that he feels very grateful that the authorities agreed to stop the activities in the bridges before giving it away for the movie shoot.
He also told that his co-star Shraddha Kapoor was part of the action sequence as well.
They shot a big chunk of an action sequence in the capital plus some drama sequences. The cast and crew will wrap up today (Monday).
The painfully shy actor who is not a native Hindi speaker worked really hard with his trainer to shoot for the Hindi version of the movie.
He became popular across the world for his warrior look and body in Baahubali one and two but the actor who had gained weight for Baahubali worked hard to shed some weight and muscles, "I don't want to a warrior look for every film. So I changed my diet and exercise routine to prepare for this character,"
Prabhas treated himself to shawarmas while in the UAE. This is the first time that Prabhas came to Abu Dhabi and he enjoyed going to Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the Louvre museum to spend his free time.
Saaho is a high pace action drama with Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in the leading role. It also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Jackie Shroff in supporting roles. The film is written and directed by Sujeeth Reddy and produced by UV Creations

About William of Palerne, also known as the romance of william and the werewolf
William and Werewolf or William of Palerne is one of the earliest survivals of what is now known as the alliterative revival of the fourteenth century. Written around 1350 and dedicated to Humphrey de Bohun, it is a long-line alliterative romance which tells the story of two princes, each of whom are betrayed by the greed of family members and eventually emerge victorious to establish their realms based on good government and social justice.
Cambridge, King’s College, MS 13 – a unique survival
William of Palerne – described as The Romance of William and the Werewolf by Sir Frederic Madden in the nineteenth century – is an English retelling of a French romance, Guillaume de Palerne, dating from the 1190s.
However, this is not a straightforward translation of a French exemplar but one undertaken in the alliterative style; it is shorter than the French and its poetic form is fundamentally altered. As such it is an innovative reworking of an established work for an entirely new audience and one with different tastes.
The manuscript misses its opening, and one further section of the text but, thanks to the original French poem, the plot can be deduced simply. Of particular interest is the dedication – to Humphrey de Bohun (VIII), Sixth Earl of Hereford – and that it has been transcribed for “those who know no French”.
It is thought that Humphrey, an invalid living at Pleshey in Essex, commissioned the work to be read to distant estate holders in his lands in Gloucestershire; the county is mentioned as part of the dedication made by the scribe. Its willingness to describe the lives of humble folk (farmers, woodsmen, quarrymen, charcoal burners) all suggest a patron who was interested in all his estateworkers, possibly as a consequence of the Black Death.
The manuscript containing the text, Cambridge, King’s College, MS 13, is a most fortunate survival. No other example of this romance exists; despite the damage to the work the vast majority of the plot and content survives, allowing the modern reader a tantalising insight into the world of powerful nobles in the mid fourteenth century.
The manuscript and the text
Cambridge, King’s College MS 13 contains two separate manuscripts which at some stage were bound together. Although missing its first four missing leaves, and a further folio later on, what remains of William and the Werewolf is in remarkably good condition.
The poem is written in an exceptionally clear single hand, thought to date from the later fourteenth century (somewhere between 1350 and 1375). GHV Bunt describes the romance as being “written in a single hand of professional appearance. The script is a bold textura of the later fourteenth century”.
The text is laid out in a single column format; when new sections of the poem begin, a two-line initial (see photograph) has been inserted in either blue or green ink with ornamentation in green. The initials were inserted after the main manuscript has been written down, a common practice; the initials most likely were to aid textual navigation when the poem was being read.
Unlike Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, William and the Werewolf was not illuminated or, if illuminations were bound in at the beginning and end, as in Cotton Nero A.x, none of these survives.
The influence of William and the Werewolf
It is difficult to ascribe a particular influence to William and the Werewolf yet what is clear is that it had a patron – unusually, for the alliterative revival, one who is both named and powerful.
It is known that Humphrey de Bohun established a substantial book production operation at Pleshey from which some of the finest illuminated manuscripts of the medieval period emerged. Although it is unlikely that William and the Werewolf was produced as part of this operation, it could well have been written by one of his scribes; the quality of the script does not suggest an amateur.
It is quite possible that Humphrey’s involvement with the text could have promoted the reading and distribution of texts within the alliterative revival. This may have encouraged the translation and production of other works and romances in the genre and potentially have increased the broader acceptance of English texts within the upper echelons of society.
A modern, illuminated edition of William and the Werewolf
Michael Smith is currently crowdfunding an illustrated translation of William and the Werewolf through his publisher, Unbound. Every supporter has their name published in the back as a patron; if you would like to support the book, please click the link below. There are a wide range of pledge options to choose from too, including signed copies, orginal illustrations and much more.
The book contains a line by line translation of the poem as well as an historical introduction and a summary of the survival of the manuscript.
The text also contains a glossary and detailed notes, as well as an analysis of the text’s patronage and its potential authorship.
As with the original, the text itself contains a series of illuminated letters which break up the text for ease of reading.
The illustrations within the text are all created by Michael and printed using the linocut process. Some of these illustrations are available as pledge options for patrons supporting the book

Check out the track list and pre-order your copy here.
To celebrate the festive season, we’re giving you the chance to win a copy of every release in the Croydon Municipal catalogue! The collection comprises of 12 CDs, all lovingly curated by Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley.
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to HEAD HERE to ‘Like’ the Croydon Municipal Facebook page and enter your email address! The winner will be picked at random at 5pm on 19th December. Good Luck!
As you know, Bob has been putting out archive CDs on his Croydon Municipal label over the last year – he’s now up to his 12th release, which will be SAINT ETIENNE PRESENT SONGS FOR A LONDON WINTER. Bob, Pete and Sarah spent a week huddled around a Dansette (and over a laptop), picking out festive songs from their childhood and a bunch of super Xmassy obscurities.
The compilation is being launched with a bit of a do at ROUGH TRADE EAST on Tuesday NOVEMBER 25th. There will be music played, mince pies, mulled wine, and it’s FREE TO GET IN. Bob will be playing some of his favourite Christmas records and chatting to writer Pete Paphides and DJ Martin Green about what makes the perfect Christmas song.
All of the Croydon Municipal catalogue will be available at a special price. And there will be super-limited Croydon Municipal POSTERS and BADGES for sale.
Bob says “Croydon Municipal is an attempt to make sense of the analogue pop era in a digital world. It digs deep to find wonderful old pop music you may have never heard before.” All those years he has spent in dusty old back rooms, flicking past the Ken Dodd and Kajagoogoo singles, digging for gold… it was all worthwhile!
This November we launch the latest in the hugely successful ‘Saint Etienne Presents’ series with a seasonal title, ‘Saint Etienne Presents: Songs For A London Winter‘.
Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs have ransacked their record collections, with a helping hand from DJ Martin Green, to give you the sound of Piccadilly in December – baubles, bangles, tinsel and whisky macs. This is a decidedly London selection – Joe Henderson’s ‘Sleighride’ has the distinct feel of Hampstead Heath rather than Lapland.
Homegrown rockers like Billy Fury and Adam Faith are found rubbing shoulders over a Christmas pint with John Barry and jazzers Kenny Baker and John Dankworth. Tricia Marks and Lyn Cornell provide festive glamour.
Saint Etienne member and pop historian Bob Stanley writes the sleevenotes. This is a soundtrack for the Hamley’s shop window and a proper 60s UK time capsule.
All UK recordings. The latest in the . Many tracks on CD for the first time.
Not the same old Christmas songs!
‘Saint Etienne Presents: Songs For A London Winter‘ is releases November 24 and is now available to pre-order in the Croydon Municipal Store!

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) could be headed in the same direction as former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who was ousted from the speakership after House Republicans initiated a motion to vacate. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) recently said he would not rule out using the measure against Johnson.
Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, said the “motion to vacate” against Johnson has not been ruled out after the House speaker passed a bipartisan spending package that was opposed by several Republicans in the chamber.
🚨Caught up with CHIP ROY in Iowa on his MOTION TO VACATE comments:
“Speaker Johnson is doing all the same stupid crap that we opposed.” pic.twitter.com/D2I8iXHS1o
— Aishah Hasnie (@aishahhasnie) January 9, 2024
“I’m leaving it on the table. I’m not gonna say I’m gonna go file it tomorrow night. I’m not saying I’m not gonna file it tomorrow. I think the speaker needs to know that we’re angry about it,” Roy said in an interview with the Blaze host Steve Deace.
In January 2023, amid a days-on-end battle to secure the speakership, McCarthy made several concessions with House Republicans, which included allowing just one lawmaker to initiate the “motion to vacate” process that would prompt a no-confidence vote to remove the House speaker.
In October 2023, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) paved the way to boot McCarthy from the speakership by triggering a “motion to vacate” after the House passed a stopgap spending measure to avoid a government shutdown. The Florida congressman was joined by seven Republicans and House Democrats to remove McCarthy.
Johnson eventually succeeded McCarthy as House Speaker but could soon face the same problems the former California lawmaker did.
Although Johnson touted a “topline” $1.59 trillion figure for fiscal year 2024 spending, Roy said such a package ignores options reached during McCarthy’s tenure as House speaker and contains “budget gimmicks,” allowing spending to increase over the $1.66 trillion omnibus spending bill passed under then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
Johnson passed the bipartisan spending package amid criticism from Democrats and President Joe Biden, who said Republicans would lose their support if they included “poison pill policy changes” in any 2024 spending bills.
“If they totally botch it — we get no policy reforms and we’re spending $1.66 trillion, I don’t know why we would keep him as speaker,” Roy said.

The National Assembly has again failed to pass a resolution to recommend that former uMsunduzi mayor Zanele Hlatshwayo be appointed to the Public Service Commission.
A total of 201 MPs are required to vote in favour of her appointment as the Constitution requires the majority vote of the Assembly to pass the resolution.
This is the second time that the resolution has not been passed.
National Assembly House Chairperson Cedric Frolick says the matter has been postponed as it failed to meet the constitutional requirement.
“The outcome of the division is as follows: there are no abstentions. 91 voted against, 176 voted in favour. The decision on the question is thus postponed because it does not meet the constitutional requirement.”

Mail-in ballots exceed in-person voting locally, pour into Erie County Board of Elections
The COVID-19 pandemic has made the electoral process a bit different this year for some, but Erie County’s Board of Elections has been hard at work ensuring every vote is counted, no matter how or where you voted.
A freight elevator brought up large carts of mail-in ballots, while a machine counted the envelopes before they’re sorted. Ralph Mohr, the Republican Board of Elections commissioner, said while it’s a more time consuming process this year, his staff has been prepared for the task.
“We’re going to follow the same procedure we do with every election, it’s just going to be a lot more volume involved,” Mohr said. “In Erie County we had all our early voting sites open, which were most out of any in the state, and we had all our poll sites open.”
While the amount of mail-in ballots are being counted and sorted through, votes won’t actually be counted until two weeks from now, when military and other postmarked ballots are fully received.
Chris Jacobs has already declared a mathematical victory for New York’s 27th Congressional seat, which at least in Erie County, Mohr said isn’t really the case.
“It would be mathematically possible, although very improbable, that Nate McMurray would be able to overcome the lead that Chris Jacobs has built up. However this is an election in which the mail-in ballots exceeded the number of individuals who appeared on Election Day at the polls,” Mohr said on the status of the NY-27 race, which will ultimately be certified by the state.
Nationwide concerns over mail-in voter fraud, including from the president, has yet to be seen in Erie County according to Mohr, who says the amount of checks and balances in place will ensure an accurate election.

Read it and Weep
The Vernon and Doris Bishop Library is a place to study alone or with friends, check out materials, or hang out and drink coffee. It’s also a place where students can find campus employment.
Bishop Library employs 19 student workers from 10 majors. Though you’ll usually see them behind the circulation desk, there’s much more they help with behind the scenes.
Student workers Rayanne Hawk ’20, an early childhood education major, and Patrick Younes ’18, a fourth-year physical therapy major, collaborated on a unique project during break. Working with librarians Maureen Bentz ’00 and Julia Harvey, they compiled displays of books and other media on the first floor of Bishop Library.
“[This] was my first time working on a display,” said Hawk, who joined the team last fall.
She helped compile the Winter Olympics, drug and alcohol facts week, and “series other than Harry Potter” displays.
Younes helped with those displays, along with a health awareness display and a “things you don’t learn in college” display, the latter of which included books on crafts, cooking, and hobbies.
The veteran Younes, who has worked at Bishop Library for two years, said, “If there’s an event, upcoming holiday, or monthly theme we’ll do a display.”
For instance, two displays for the month of February are themed around Black History Month and Valentine’s Day.
Putting together a nice display requires finding interesting titles. Younes and Hawk used the library catalog and Google to help them out.
“I looked at the covers, and I’m like, ‘are these exciting looking covers or not?’ And I selected the best-looking ones,” Younes said.
The adage doesn’t hold when it comes to making eye-catching displays.
Additionally, there’s only so much space on the library counters, so the students had to make the best of it.
“We did trial and error to see what looked good,” Hawk said.
Hawk and Younes are student supervisors, which means they have many duties in addition to working the circulation desk.
Hawk checks in and shelves magazines and periodicals, and she gets the mail from the mailroom. Younes has previously entered new books into the library system, checked in and shelved periodicals, processed interlibrary loan requests, and filed documents in the LVC archives.
Hawk and Younes enjoy working at Bishop Library. They have made many new friends, both students and librarians.
“I like that you can go at your own pace and still get your work done,” Younes said.
Both student workers said they appreciate the library more because of their jobs.
“Before I worked here, I occasionally studied in Bishop,” Hawk said. “Now I appreciate the books and everything more since I have firsthand experience.”

The vegan zombie guys are also experimenting with veganic gardening so if you look around their UTube channel you should find some good stuff:
Anyway, a garlic scape is the curly little top that comes up on the plant about this time of year. Gardeners cut it off so that the energy of the plant stays in the bulb and not up top. Scapes taste like a combination between garlic and chives, I think. You can use them in a stirfry or soup to up the garlic flavor. But a friend of mine turned me on to making pesto with scapes and I've never looked back. I don't have a particular pesto recipe to recommend but maybe later I will blog my own. For now just experiment if you feel like it. Scapes are popping up in the farmer's markets now! I would say use a half handful of scapes to two handfuls of basil so the scapes don't overpower the taste. Also I use walnuts and an equal amount of nutritional yeast instead of whatever nuts or parmesan cheese a recipe asks for. The walnuts and "nooch" together make a parmesan flavor profile.

Why bother dragging around one's shadow? A man agrees to a pact with a magician and swaps his shadow for riches. He soon discovers that the absence of a shadow can be a humiliating handicap. After fleeing to the far corners of the earth, he ends up in Bali, in a theatre of shadow puppets, where he discovers the true worth of shadows.
Swiss filmmaker Georges Schwizgebel animates this adaptation of Adelbert von Chamisso's The Strange Story of Peter Schlemil (1814), a fantastic tale inspired by Goethe's Faust. His film L'homme sans ombre is a reflection upon human nature and an allegory celebrating the magic of performance. Virtuoso Georges Schwizgebel's images are wonderfully mobile and textured, his composition formally elegant. (Each cel is freshly repainted with the characters and settings.) He is a master conjurer whose images become a bewitching choreography. The animator's eye guides the painter's hand, and vice versa. A film without words.

The Penguins never had beaten Philadelphia more than five times in a season before winning the first six meetings this season. They never have swept a season series from their cross-state rivals.
Tonight, the Penguins look to make it 7-0 against the Flyers after winning the first six games by a combined score of 32-14. They meet for the final time March 4.
Although Philadelphia has been hampered by injuries and is mired in last place not only in the Atlantic Division but also in the NHL with 33 points before their road game last night against the New York Islanders, things have not been quite so bad lately.
The Flyers were on a 2-1-2 stretch going into the game last night.
The Penguins, meanwhile, have been climbing up the Eastern Conference standings and with a win could find themselves in fourth place, depending on what Ottawa and Montreal do tonight and tomorrow.
"It's obviously a rivalry game, but I think more than anything we need the points. This is for fourth place," defenseman Ryan Whitney said yesterday after the Penguins practiced at Mellon Arena.
"They've played better [lately]. They've got a lot of guys back from injury. It's obviously been a tough year, but they're playing hard."
Melichar ready to return
Penguins coach Michel Therrien said defenseman Josef Melichar, who has missed 11 games because of a strained ligament in his left knee, is ready to return.
Therrien wouldn't say whether Melichar will be in the lineup tonight or, if he is, who he would replace on defense. The Penguins have been dressing the minimum six defensemen regularly.
Winger Nils Ekman has been out since getting a serious left elbow injury in a game Dec. 30 against Toronto. He continues to skate with conditioning coach Stephane Dube before practice.
Defenseman Eric Cairns has been out since Nov. 10 with concussion symptoms.
Shero has goals for USA
Penguins general manager Ray Shero doesn't have strong ties to USA Hockey. In fact, his most memorable moment with the national team program was in 1981, after his freshman year at St. Lawrence University, when his knee was injured in training camp for the World Junior Championships.
Shero also attended several U.S. Olympic Festivals, which used to be in non-Olympic years under the direction of amateur federations such as AHAUS, the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States, which was the forerunner to USA Hockey.
"I've known people involved and been around it some," Shero said. "At the Olympic Festivals, I remember watching [former Penguin] John LeClair when he was a teenager before he played at Vermont and [retired player] Brian Leetch when he was just going into his freshman year at [Boston College]. They had some great players coming through there."
Now Shero will have a hand in the national team selection process, first for the World Championships this year and perhaps for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
He is one of four NHL general managers who this week were named to the first National Team Management Advisory Group by USA Hockey.
Shero hopes the restructuring will help the NHL and USA Hockey dovetail better so that the United States can get stronger internationally.
"We need to make some progress on it," he said. "We need those players to contribute and play. We need to set a precedent the way Canada does.
"No one's turning down Team Canada for the World Championships. We don't want to have to beg and borrow players to play."

I bought a salt lamp recently from Salzburg, Austria and kept it on a table. But I seldom turn the lamp on. It is on the bottom of the table where I kept my laptop. I went on vacation for 10 days, and when I got back home, I saw water around the lamp and that water has corroded my laptop. Is this water acidic by nature? How can I stop water from the lamp? I need advice urgently.
Admittedly, the negative ion claim didn’t come out of nowhere. There was a 1998 study published in the journal of the American Psychological Association, and a few follow-up studies as well, that suggested negative ions could help reduce the effects of seasonal affective disorder and chronic depression. But the reality is there aren’t any studies suggesting the lamps provide anywhere near the levels of negative ions to have an effect, and when Negative Ions Information Center tested salt lamps for negative ion output, they found so few it was hard to measure.
We are pioneers in Salt Slabs for cooking and frying, salt bricks for salt room therapy and spa use, salt horse licks, uncut rough salt rocks for illumination, fine and granular grinded salt for cooking and BBQ use, salt bars for saloon and bathroom use, salt lamps of more that 20 different designs, salt for Inhalational therapy for chronic bronchitis, Asthma, smoker’s cough and COPD use. We also are looking forward for international clients. Our salt for kitchen use has a unique taste. Kindly feel free in contacting us. We also have hand made marble and rock salt wall clocks.

An awesome way to increase exposure to negative ions is to spend more time in nature, especially around water. Himalayan salt lamps are said to emit negative ions in small amounts and cancel out positive ones. By neutralizing electromagnetic radiation, they may help reduce the negative health effects of harmful electrosmog. Balancing positive and negative ions also may help reduce airborne infections. (4)
Himalayan pink salt lamps help clean the air through an operation called hygroscopy, which attracts and absorbs contaminated water molecules from the immediate environment and locks them into the salt crystal. The process has the amazing ability to remove cigarette smoke, dust and other contaminants from the air. This benefit is particularly popular, as salty air acts as an overall health booster and can help clear the air passages.
Remember, even if you’re like me and you can’t sleep unless the room is totally dark, you can always turn the lamp off at bedtime. Just leave it on for the rest of the day so it can do its work while you’re awake. People in humid climates should be aware that HPS lamps tend to weep when the salt becomes cool. You’ll definitely want to protect surfaces by placing a saucer underneath and be sure to follow the instructions for use and care which should be included with your lamp!

Oklahoma lawmaker due credit for continuing health care discussion

Obamacare is making consumer-friendly, cost-cutting health care reform more difficult to achieve — even as it drives up insurance rates. The New York Times recently noted some customers are facing double-digit premium increases, with the hardest-hit being small businesses and people who don't have employer-provided insurance. Mark Bertolini, the CEO of Aetna, has warned that premiums could rise 20 percent to 50 percent; some consumers may see rates surge as much as 100 percent. Many consumers may face higher costs for health insurance even after getting new federal subsidies.
Simply because Obamacare is the law of the land doesn't mean that a need for real health care reform no longer exists. For at least continuing this important discussion, Murphey deserves credit and support.

Advocacy groups have urged the Scottish Government to step in to help those affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
A coalition of poverty charities have asked ministers to increase the money provided to the Scottish Welfare Fund, which supports people in emergencies.
The group, made up of the Poverty Alliance, Citizens Advice Scotland, the Child Poverty Action Group and Oxfam Scotland, fear levels of demand could increase as the outbreak spreads.
As of 2pm on Tuesday, 195 cases of coronavirus had been confirmed and two people with the disease had died in Scotland.
The Scottish Welfare Fund provides two streams to people in need, a crisis grant – aimed at those in an emergency situation – and a community care grant which is aimed at helping someone continue to live in their community.
Citizens Advice Scotland’s social justice spokeswoman Mhoraig Green called on the Scottish Government to look at boosting funding for the fund – which was already given an extra £3 million in this year’s draft budget.
Ms Green said: “The Citizens Advice network in Scotland helps hundreds of thousands of people each year.
“Our data suggests people are facing a huge crisis of income, often going without paying essential bills or buying food as a result of a lack of cash.
“This is all before the possible economic effects of coronavirus take place, with people facing disruptions in their income by not being able to work.
“An additional funding boost to the Scottish Welfare Fund will allow more people to apply in the first place and possibly allow the eligibility criteria to be relaxed on a case by case basis to allow more people to help.”
Meanwhile, tenant advocacy group Living Rent has launched a petition to push the Scottish Government into ensuring people are not evicted from their homes in the coming months due to the outbreak.
A spokeswoman for the group, Emma Saunders, said: “Up and down Scotland, tenants are facing not just a major health crisis but the prospect of destitution and homelessness, too.
“As their workplaces begin to shut their doors, it is hard to see how tenants who are already struggling to make ends meet will be able to pay their rent.
“It is unconscionable that anyone should even have to worry about being evicted from their home at this time.
“The Scottish Government urgently needs to take drastic action to protect tenants at this time.”
The calls come after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a suite of new measures to help businesses and homeowners tackle the virus, including a £330 billion scheme of government-backed loans.
The Scottish Greens have accused the Chancellor of not going far enough to tackle the pandemic.
The party’s co-leader Patrick Harvie pointed to initiatives in other countries as examples, including suspension of rent and energy bills and the provision of basic incomes.
He said: “The UK’s response fails to match this kind of action. We should be guaranteeing people’s basic income and that there will be no evictions as a result of this epidemic.”


XM301 20mm Lightweight Gatling Gun
The XM301 is a lightweight 20mm Gatling gun developed by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems.
The XM301 is the lightest 20mm Gatling gun in the world. It features firing rates of 750 and 1,500 shots per minute, making it the ideal product for platforms that require air-to-air and air-to-ground lethality in a lightweight package. The XM301 fires at twice the rate of a single-barrel gun of similar caliber and weight. When combined with high accuracy and an optimum dispersion pattern, the rate of fire provides superior precision-kill capability. The XM301 is also rugged enough to withstand long burst lengths without damage.
The XM301 offers the user an added level of flexibility and safety by utilizing the unique ability to interchangeably fire percussion-primed and standard electrically primed ammunition. Firing all M50-series and PGU-series ammunition, the XM301 has also been specifically designed to fire the new ultra lightweight XM1031/1032 aluminum-cased ammunition, further reducing overall system weight. These factors make the XM301 a leap forward in Gatling gun accuracy, weight, maintainability and firepower.

The Realme 5 is an amazing smartphone that has been launched by Neovenator to cater the needs of busy professionals and students across the world. It has all the qualities one needs from a smartphone. It has a powerful processor that offers smooth performance on a variety of tasks. Other important features that the smartphone has included:
There are two variants of the realme 5 phone – the EMobile Blue and the EMobile Red. The real 5 Red comes with a 5.5-inch AMOLED capacitive multi-touch screen, a front-mounted fingerprint scanner and a high-definition camera. Realme 5 also offers a six-megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera. It also boasts a full QWERTY keyboard and a gorgeous backlit screen. Apart from the attractive looks of the realme 5 phone, it also has all the standard features one would expect from a modern smartphone. The real 5 phone has a soft touch rubberized home button, an innovative double-charging port, a fast charging port, a headphone jack, a proximity sensor, and comes with expandable memory realme 5.
In addition to the exciting looks of the realme 5 phone, it is loaded with advanced technologies that allow it to perform vibrational recognition for the purpose of logging keystrokes and browsing through the web. This advanced fingerprint sensor allows the user to enter text using only their finger. If they wish, the front camera can be used to take pictures or videos, even if they do not have a camera plugged in. It also features a high-end front camera and a solid body construction that provide high resistance to bumps and shock.
Another feature that makes this smartphone stand out is the presence of a front selfie camera. The rear sensor of this smartphone has a lower minimum detection range compared to other smartphone models. Despite this limitation, the front selfies taken by this model are impressive enough to make all users happy. A further distinct feature of the Realme 5 smartphone is its support for OGG MP3 audio files.
The pricing of this smartphone is an attractive $400, making it one of the most pocket friendly smartphones in the market today. An added bonus is that it is manufactured in India. A number of Indian manufacturers such as Micromax, Lava, Karamnath, Pantech, etc. are making powerful competition in the Indian smartphone market. In the existing crowded market, this smartphone has been able to creep into a place of its own, and is poised to make waves in upcoming months and years.
This Mediatek Le Pro Pocket PC in Red Color is yet another example of how manufacturers from India are progressing with their business priorities. This smartphone is an advanced version of the conventional Le 1 smartphone that was released in the Indian market several years back. The advanced Mediatek Le Pro Pocket PC features an advanced graphical user interface and comes loaded with great customer support from Sony India. The starting price of this smartphone is quite affordable, and is yet another commendable attempt of manufacturers to give affordable smartphones that are capable of delivering all the functionality to their users.

On October 15, happiness and joy filled the hearts of millions of people watching the rescue of 33 Chilean miners. After being trapped for 69 days, the miners were finally above ground, and were greeted by family and friends. Chile’s president and first lady Sebastian and Cecilia Pinera stood above ground, waiting to embrace the miners being rescued.
The miners were able to send videos and images via a drilled shaft, and according to Time NewsFeed, they were singing the national anthem and waving happily to the camera. Food that was supposed to only last three days lasted 17 days. There was also a first-aid cabinet and mats laid out near a wall.
“We plan, we have assemblies here every day so that all the decisions we make are based on the thoughts of all 33,” the men recorded into the camera, according to BBC News.
Eighteen days after the collapse, the first of three rescue drills (3.19 inches wide) reached the Chilean miners. Hydration tablets, high-energy glucose gel and a few medical supplies, including antacids, were sent down in order to sustain the miners until they could drill holes wide enough to allow them to be transported above ground.
Finally, after 69-day entrapment, the miners were rescued and reunited with their loved ones. People around the world tuned in to watch the rescue of the miners, and every time one was saved the siren rang, bringing relief when each man was saved and hope for the others.
Hoping that the rescue will highlight Chile’s status as a place for investment, Pinera said, “Chile will now be remembered and recognized not for Pinochet [one of the most controversial figures in the history of Chile, who established a severely inhumane military dictatorship] but as an example of unity, leadership, courage and success.”
Luis Urzua, the last miner to be rescued, told his president that “we have done what the entire world was waiting for; the 70 days that we fought so hard were not in vain. We had strength, we had spirit, we wanted to fight; we wanted to fight for our families, and that was the greatest thing.”

Hampshire Police have launched a new sexual assault and rape campaign, Don’t Cross the Line.
Men across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are being reminded that ‘anything less than a yes is a no’.
Detective Chief Inspector Tara Williams said: “This campaign aims to raise the awareness of consent; a person doesn’t have to say “no” to show they don’t want to have sex.
“We are targeting young men as statistically they are more likely to commit an offence. Whether you are 16 and getting drunk at a friends party or 28 and heading into town for a few drinks, the message is simple, cross the line and its rape.”

The design for the 50th anniversary license plates has not been released yet. However, Florida residents who are interested can purchase a presale voucher now for $25 plus applicable state administration fees by appointment at local County Tax Collector’s offices and license plate agencies (DMVs) across the State of Florida.

An accident involving multiple military vehicles has caused ‘life changing’ injuries for five military personnel. Around 20 soldiers were reported to have been injured in the road traffic collision on a public route during a military training exercise near Stonehenge this week.
Two people had to be cut free from vehicles by firefighters. A further two victims with life-threatening injuries were taken to Southampton General Hospital by air ambulance, and eight more were taken to Salisbury Hospital. It is understood that six personnel currently remain in hospital.
Salisbury Plain is owned by the Ministry of Defence and is the largest military training area in the UK.
Charlene McAuliffe, an associate in Penningtons Manches' personal injury team, comments: “Whilst the exact cause of this terrible incident has yet to be determined, it is difficult not to be concerned over the safety measures that were in place prior to the collision. A thorough independent investigation will need to be carried out to establish the cause and consider what needs to be done in order to prevent such an incident happening again. Unfortunately, we continue to see the devastating consequences of poor planning and inadequate risk assessment in the workplace. Military personnel have the same rights as any other employee injured at work when they are not in war or conflict. An employee is owed a duty of care by their employer. The employer is responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect an employee’s safety and avoid the risk of him or her sustaining an injury while carrying out work activities.
“Our thoughts are with those who were involved. We can only hope that this latest incident will go some way to addressing these ongoing issues. Employers should take note of their current practices and ensure that they are adequately protecting their staff.”


Writer: Stephen Fry
Director: Tim Carroll
Reviewer: Jay Nuttall
Revered by some as having almost demi-God like status anyway, Stephen Fry has always immersed himself into the world of Greek myth and legend. His 2018 publication Mythos: Godsis his own retelling of the ancient Mediterranean fables for a 21stcentury audience. Quickly followed by Heroesand Men, his literally trilogy is now briefly touring as a live storytelling experience. Gods, Fry tells us, is not meant to be a classics lesson, rather a dance with words.
With brown Chesterfield armchair centre stage that Fry rarely moves from this is not a ‘show’, nor a play, nor a spectacle. It is, he informs us, something much more ancient. Storytelling has been with us since the birth of language and stories of the Gods who shaped the world have always been at the heart – whatever culture. For those who enjoyed Fry’s interjections as host of BBC2’s QIwith something ‘quite interesting’ it is a feast. But more than the non-verbal notes of interest at the derivation and etymology of language from ancient Greek or Latin, Fry weaves thousands of years of story into two hours of fireside, late evening traditional storytelling.
He begins at the beginning. The big bang for us in modern times but chaos(something similar) for the ancient Greeks. Rather than a burst of stars in the sky Fry floods us with names of Gods born mostly from one another as names familiar today begin to weave into the fabric of his narrative. The first Gods, Kronos and Giai, may be less recognisable, but by the time Fry begins to recount the tales of the pantheon of Olympian Gods the names become a little more recognisable – Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo and Hermes to name drop just a few. And although we think we know a little about them Fry mines his mind and scratches the surface of a few. It is this pleasure, this teaching, from one to another that is the satisfaction of this event as well as the everyday connection us mortals have with the greater beings.
Of course Fry cannot fit the entire mythology into one show, nor can he hope to condense his book entirely. He therefore adopts a more random element into the evening as he occasionally allows a member of the audience to pick what the next story may be. It is necessary to allow keep the show in a digestible format and has the added bonus of pricking an inquisitive mind so learn more about the stories not told – perhaps by buying one of the signed copies in the foyer.
Director Tim Carroll has brought a touch of theatricality to the storytelling. Projection behind Fry transports us from the cosmos to ancient Greek statues, with the occasional Renaissance painting to depict the tale being told, (and to illustrate its almost timeless nature). Subtle lighting shifts move us from the stars to the underworld or from the fireside to open fields. But all this is added extra as Fry would capture our imaginations easily on a bare stage with his wit.
It is an evening of fusing together both the high and the low. What many consider to be classical, or above their station with names (as Fry asserts) that sound more like diseases than Gods, is brought forth by Fry as palatable and entertainment. However, one such story, the Promethean tale, seemed to sit a little uneasy. Prometheus stole fire from the God Zeus to give to the new playthings of the world – mankind. It was an ignition not just of flame but of inspiration to us mere mortals. With very high ticket prices for Fry’s show it is difficult not to see beyond the irony of this retelling. That said, this is a wonderful couple of hours in Fry’s presence. Whether a novice or a classical expert Fry has you enwrapped. It feels like you have slipped on your cosiest slippers and are settled into the Chesterfield armchair with Fry himself.
