STOURBRIDGE cyclo-cross star Louise Robinson continues to turn back the clock following two cracking rides at Ipswich over the weekend.
The 47-year-old finished a fabulous eighth when representing Great Britain in the European Championships at Chantry Park.
Not content with that, Robinson recovered in time to win the following day’s National Trophy Series race, destroying the field when coming home 43 seconds clear of her closest rivals after coping with appalling mudbath conditions.
She wasn’t the only Stourbridge Cycling Club rider on international duty as 18 year old Oldswinford School pupil Hannah Payton from Kingswinford came home in 17th spot in what was the highest calibre race of her career so far.
Victory went to GB’s Helen Whymark, who held off the challenge of Netherlands rider Sanne Van Paassen in a sprint finish.
Stourbridge Cycling Club Chairman Kevin Payton said: “It was a brilliant ride by Louise. She was by far the eldest rider taking part and she used all her vast experience to the full.”
The Payton family were out in full force at Ipswich for the National Trophy Series.
Hannah Payton finished ninth in the women’s race behind Robinson, while Kevin Payton came home ninth in the Veterans over 50 race.
His son Tom Payton was 20th in the senior men’s event.
All the Payton’s should be back in action at this weekend’s Inter Regional Championshsips when representing the West Midlands.
Fellow Stourbridge riders Anthony Neade also competes in the Youth’s race while Jayne Cheslin contests the Ladies event.

Dream summer job
Lidia has been commissioned to work with a group of young dancers in Karlstad during the summer. The project is called ”Dream summer job” and the idea is to give youth aged between 15-18 a chance to work and make their own money during their summer holiday. During four weeks Lidia will make the dancers work the same way as in a professional dance company. The work will result in a dance piece that will be performed outdoors in Karlstad and Arvika between 11th and 14th of July.

Title: Play it Again, Sam
Fandom: Man from UNCLE
Word count: 600
Disclaimer: Ain’t mine, wish they were.
Prompt: 83 - These twisted keys reminded me of a piano we found once that had been destroyed by a fire. The story started from that.
Illya was just standing, staring at the piano keys. Like everything else, they had been twisted and mangled by the explosion. This had once been a thriving bar, a place for people to come and let loose after a long day of work or just reconnect with friends and family. Now it was a tomb.
I watched Illya reach out and touch the keys. They were useless, just bits of black and white garbage now. This piano would never make music again. He looked… lost, for lack of a better word.
Carefully I picked my way through the debris, stumbling once on the jigsaw remains of a chair. I had to watch both my feet and my head in here. Hell, we shouldn’t even be in here, but I knew Illya needed closure.
“You okay, Partner?” I kept my voice low, partially out of respect for the people who had been charged with digging out the remains of the bar patrons and partially to keep my question intimate. No one else needed to hear what I was saying.
“I used to sit right here and play.” He rested his bandaged hands on the keyboard, his right index finger automatically touching the C ivory. “Never again. She is gone forever. She will sing no more.”
If he’s not been injured in our last mission, Illya might have been here last night. He might have been one of the many injured, or worse, killed. I slipped my hand onto his shoulder and squeezed. Memories would be all that we would have left now.
I smiled and remembered that first night.
“Play it again, Sam,” I ordered, plunking down a glass of vodka in front of him. Illya had been sitting at the piano for the last fifteen minutes, fingering the keys. I could tell by the confusion in his eyes that he didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. “It’s a line--”
“From Casablanca. Yes, I know,” he interrupted. “We have movies in the Soviet Union, you know.”
“You just looked puzzled.”
“That’s because I wasn’t playing anything, just noodling.” He made that keyboard sing and I grinned, wondering if he could do that with a piano, what could he do in bed? Later that night I found out. It was our first tryst, but not our last. After that night, something changed in me forever and I knew I never wanted anyone else at my side or in my bed. That night was forever green in my mind and yet that memory was now stained with the stink of smoke.
That’s when I realized he’d been talking to me. “Sorry, wool-gathering.”
He gestured to the group of people picking though the remains of the place. “You and a dozen others.”
“What were you saying?”
“Are the owners rebuilding?”
“That was the last I’d heard. Why?”
Illya let his fingers trail over the twisted keys one last time. “I think I know the perfect Grand Opening gift for them.”
I caught his hand and brought those cold, bandaged fingers to my lips. “I think that’s the perfect idea. Let’s go home, Partner.”
Together we made our way back out onto the street away from the charred remains of our past and into the warmth of our future.

The idea of Professional Learning Communities, appealing in the abstract, has suffered during the NCLB decade by its connection to tedious and frustrating review of NCLB-mandated measures of academic achievement.

Currently, many people do not have access to basic goods and services, which results in the exercise of their rights being limited. On the other hand, huge infrastructure developments have violated human rights and negatively impacted the environment.
In order to respond to the needs and interests of people and to global challenges, it is important to prioritize participation, transparency in decision-making and anti-corruption measures throughout the life cycle of the infrastructure work.
As part of the exchange process that will take part in this group, the following lines of debate are suggested:
- Infrastructure finance: the role of infrastructure finance in the global economy, the implications of developing infrastructure as an asset class, and the promotion of PPPs as a central tool for financing.
- Quality infrastructure: the social, human rights and environmental aspects of infrastructure projects, the role of project developers and financial institutions, and issues related to accountability and transparency. CSOs will also discuss how to hold companies and financial institutions accountable for their violations of rights in their operations across the supply chain, considering both legal and non-legal avenues.

The idea of becoming in a romance or marital life may seem extremely far away available for you. You may not asian brides know the responsibilities involved in this kind of undertaking. Matrimony involves spending proper care of your spouse, feeding the relatives, etc . staying in a romance involves offering your partner a similar level of interest, sharing his or her likes and dislikes, supplying him/her the freedom to do anything he wants with no interference.
A healthy relationship means having zero serious romance; a casual romance is just a momentary attachment to a new person. However , the degree where you have an individual relationship with another specific defines the complete big difference between simply being in a casual dating and being in a serious relationship. It’s important to include at least a basic amount of interaction the moment dating someone because it enables you to build on your mutual understanding of each other. Further, you can write about your feelings with him/her and he/she can also share their own with you.
Staying in a informal dating means having no special connection or psychological intimacy with another person. Actually a good romantic relationship will involve emotional closeness and showing. When seeing, the objective is to build on your emotional intimacy and understanding of another individual. However , that is not mean that you are unable to have a deep and private connection with somebody.
People typically think of getting in a romantic relationship or marriage as being in a nine-to-five job. But , human relationships are about much more than nine-to-five careers. There are many various kinds of relationships, be it platonic, romantic, lovemaking or camaraderie relationships. Becoming in a romantic relationship with an individual means writing something very specific – your thoughts, feelings and options. Being within a relationship does mean that you are posting your time, costs, likes and dislikes.
The mistake that most persons make the moment dating is they will assume that their partner is definitely the same as they can be. This is absolutely wrong! People change over the course of your life and while it will be completely normal to find someone who matches your personality and interests, nothing will ever be totally different. Therefore , while you does not have to make personality completely to find your spouse, you do need to be honest about this. It is properly okay to admit that you’ll be bored with the type of spouse.
Being in a relationship stage requires that you be honest about what it is that you want from someone and you need to be willing to talk tasks out. While there are some individuals who are afraid to discuss their problems, they are in this way – correct. There is nothing like talking to someone about something that genuinely bothers you – for anyone who is uncomfortable doing it in a community place, then do it someplace private.
Currently being in a legitimate relationship, however, involves trustworthiness. It is crucial that you’ll be open and legitimate with your partner. You can never be too honest when it comes to showing your accurate feelings. You do not have to reveal almost everything about you to your partner. Yet , it would help if you are even more than willing to clear to these people.
Being in a dating relationship is not easy whatsoever. It takes realistic effort on your part to maintain a total relationship with the partner. Mental intimacy is really important for a romantic relationship to work, but you do not need to put in a lot effort if you are unsure how to get this.
Being within a casual going out with relationship is useful for you and the dating lovers if you are simply just looking out for the other person. Casual dating is good because it enables you both to have being within a relationship first hand, without acquiring things too seriously. If you feel that you and your partner are actually compatible with one other and they are truly in love, then you may want to consider venturing out on a day with each other. This will allow you both to try out dating from heart.
The sole problem with everyday dating is that it is totally different out of being currently in a relationship. If you think that you just and your partner are in it in the future, then you won’t have to worry about being in a serious relationship. Alternatively, if you are in it just meant for the fun as well as the games, then you definitely will have to make sure that you keep your emotions in check so that your romantic relationship does not grow into something that is completely different from what originally was. Of course, in the event all you want is to have a good time and don’t want anything else, then you can end up being free to do that very effectively and enjoy your self completely.
Remember just because you have decided to go on a date does not mean you will be expecting to marry or have a long dedication from your date. Going out on a date just means that you would like to have fun and possibly satisfy another person. You ought not expect that your relationship will be some form of forever or monogamous dedication.


It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. In Europe, where the e-bike market has exploded, the European Cycling Union announced that it will create a new racing circuit for e-bikes, including e-road and e-mountain bikes, for the 2019 season. Following suit, the UCI said it will include an electric mountain bike competition in the 2019 World Mountain Bike Championships. Yes, there will be a rainbow jersey awarded to the world’s best off-road e-biker.
E-bikes use rechargeable batteries and the lighter ones can travel up to 25 to 32 km/h (16 to 20 mph), depending on local laws, while the more high-powered varieties can often do in excess of 45 km/h (28 mph). In some markets, such as Germany as of 2013, they are gaining in popularity and taking some market share away from conventional bicycles, while in others, such as China as of 2010, they are replacing fossil fuel-powered mopeds and small motorcycles.

On the descents, the Commencal felt somewhat one-dimensional, great when up to speed, but with sluggish and less nimble handling hindering its performance in tighter, low-speed technical sections of trail. The Meta Power Race also had the shortest distance range in our head to head testing, another factor which kept this contender off the top step of the podium. That being said, this e-bike was built for charging, no pun intended, so if you're an aggressive rider who lives for eye-watering descents, then this might be the e-MTB for you.

My bike and the ones I am discussing in this article are Type 1. I have to agree with the government agencies that bikes that aren’t at least partially human-powered should be not be lumped in with mountain bikes. The faster Type 3 eBikes are okay for street use, but are too fast for trails. But, this little-known taxonomy might cause confusion with regulatory bodies or broad public opinion that sees all eBikes as the same.

The sub has been awesome in giving me confidence, I got a Giant XTC from CL. and was going to order all the parts from Luna's Black Friday Sale. A couple of questions, I will have a bike shop remove the bottom bracket, but I am assuming the Bafang 750 with the 17 AH battery should be an easy install at that point (or is it)? I am thinking of having the bike shop install the motor too and I do the the rest. besides a pedal crank, Allen wrenches etc, what tools will I need? Any top rated videos to watch? Is the speed sensor worth it? What about the half twist vs. full twist vs thumb throttle? Color display,, etc. Since the bike has a 10-speed cassette, will that be good or bad (me thinks good). Any other thoughts or pointers? Should I order the stuff from Aliexpress or Ebay?
Sleek, powerful, and modern. If those characteristics strike a chord for you then the Bulls E-Core bike could be the pick of the litter so to speak. Each handsome yet power-infused ride is assisted by Shimano’s new 250W E-8000 eMTB motor alongside a 375Wh power pack. Thanks to this power plant, this sweet ride boasts enough juice and torque to conquer and climb even the toughest of trails. Additional features include a 180mm front RockShox Lyrik, a rear Fox Float X2 Air suspension to smooth out that descent, Di2 XT electronic shifting, and 203mm Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes.
But astute readers are surely wondering about the specs, as are we. Unfortunately, there is little to no information on it … making it a bit difficult to come up with a fitting name. But, seriously, the only thing we know so far is that it will have a USB charging port and LED lights, according to GM. The automaker bikemaker is keeping everything else secret. Perhaps as it simply hasn’t decided on the final specs. We’re waiting for company comments.
In addition to the pedal-assist feature, some e-bikes come with a throttle that engages the motor with the press of a button. These belong to a separate class of e-bike that, obviously, doesn’t offer a pure cycling experience; they’re also illegal in some municipalities. Interestingly, Benjamin says, people who aren’t already “cyclists” tend to gravitate toward throttle bikes at first, but then turn around and choose a pedal-assist for their next purchase.
E-bike usage worldwide has experienced rapid growth since 1998. In 2016 there were 210 million electric bikes worldwide used daily. It is estimated that there were roughly 120 million e-bikes in China in early 2010, and sales are expanding rapidly in India, the United States of America, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. A total of 700,000 e-bikes were sold in Europe in 2010, up from 200,000 in 2007 and 500,000 units in 2009.

Awards & Recognitions
Dr. Gannage presented the “Mind-Body Continuum from a Nutrition Perspective” at the Dr. Rogers Prize Colloquium Vancouver 2013, attended by health providers and local residents.
The Dr. Rogers Prize is awarded every 2 years to celebrate the achievements of researchers, practitioners, and others in the field of complementary and alternative (CAM) health care. It is the largest prize of its kind in North America. http://www.drrogersprize.org/files/colloquium.php
Dr. John Gannage is a medical doctor practicing in Ontario. His conventional medical training and experience allows him to provide expert trusted health advice. His pioneering work as an integrative medical practitioner gives him the ability to blend conventional medicine with the ever growing consumer interest in natural products, and complementary therapies.
On June 7, 2014, Dr. John Gannage, MD, CCFP, reviewed the current evidence and present clinical applications of integrative medicine for children’s mental health. More than half of his practice consists of working with developmentally delayed children and their families, recommending therapeutic diet plans, customized nutrient support, management of environmental exposures and support for immune and digestive systems. His clinical expertise and research findings were on display in a program targeting health practitioners, approved by the College of Family Physicians of Canada for 7.5 CME study credits, as well as accredited for Naturopathic Doctors.
A success in Toronto in June 2014, Dr. Gannage presents his accredited program to health practitioners, including Family Physicians and Naturopathic Doctors, in Calgary and Vancouver September 27 and 28. This program is co-sponsored by Mindful and the Canadian Society of Orthomolecular Medicine (CSOM), and has been approved by the College of Family Physicians of Canada for 7.5 CME study hours.
As of April 2015, Dr. Gannage’s application for the Focused Practice designation was approved by the Ministry of Health and the OMA, allowing him to provide consults under OHIP for standard medicine services without the patient’s primary care doctor always being penalized economically. This helps to solve the problem of providing Integrative Medicine services to patients that have a GP who is concerned about the economic impact of rostered patients seeking medical assistance in Dr. Gannage’s practice.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this does not impact the fees paid for alternative medicine services, which are billed directly to the patient. The Integrative medicine practice requires integrative billing, where OHIP pays for the basic standard medical component but nothing more.
2015. GANNAGE WAS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER for this public event in Vancouver on October 24, 2015.
He presented his lecture Creating Healthy Minds in Children: Nutritional and Environmental Factors.
Video excerpts of the 90 minute presentation are included here.
Dr. Gannage continues his dedication to changing the paradigm, by focussing on education of physicians and allied health professionals regarding nutrition and environmental factors in mental health, particularly children. His pioneering work is reaching more health providers with each passing year.
His well-received CME program was again presented in 2015 both in Toronto and Vancouver, with a Calgary date set for January 30, 2016. The message is clear – there is a gap in care, the need is high, the epidemic of mental health disorders is growing, prevention is critical, and management strategies can and should focus on understanding early brain development from a nutrition and toxin perspective.
Dr. Gannage will be speaking on October 2nd at the 2016 IMMH conference in Washington, DC, on Environmental Medicine: The Role of Toxins in Children’s Mental Health.
IMMH is an international conference for practitioners exploring the treatment of autism spectrum disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and other mental health disorders using integrative medicine, and the roles that nutritional, biological, and environmental factors play in mental health.
Click here to learn more.
Dr. Gannage is scheduled to speak on Neurodevelopment and the Gut-Brain Axis at the 2016 Integrative Healthcare Symposium in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
The Integrative Healthcare Symposium is an annual conference for integrative medicine practitioners as well as practitioners interested in learning more about complementary and alternative medicine. For more information on this event, click here.
Dr. Gannage will present current evidence and clinical applications of integrative medicine for neurodevelopmental conditions in relation to the gut-brain axis on Saturday, October 15th, 2016.
Dr. Gannage speaks as part of the OAND and CCNM’s Collaborative Care Panel Discussion Series on Family Medicine on October 27th, 2016
The panel aims to address the challenges that arise when MDs work collaboratively with NDs in the community, and discuss solutions for better collaborative patient care.
This summer, Dr. Gannage presented his fully accredited Integrative Medicine for Children’s Mental Health program aboard a cruise ship through the Mediterranean with CME @ Sea from July 31st- August 10th.
The event is open to MDs, NDs, and nutritionists, and is a great way to learn and earn CME credits, see Europe, and connect with other practitioners.
The journey starts in Barcelona and ends in Venice, with stops in Valencia, Rome, Florence, Croatia, and Montenegro. Your companion travels free!
Click here for more info including the full itinerary.
This summer, Dr. Gannage gave 10 presentations to physicians aboard a cruise ship on the Mediterranean Sea. Over the course of 10 days, he presented his comprehensive program on Integrative Medicine for Children’s Mental Health to a group of conventional physicians. The doctors learned about and saw evidence for the many roles played by diet and nutrition, the gut, environmental factors, oxidative stress, methylation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in children’s mental health conditions, autism, ADD and ADHD, as well as in chronic disease and health as a whole.
Below are scenes and observations from the journey.
What the Cruise experience reminded me of is the extent to which some have a hard time accepting “new truths”. They may do so on their own time. Or, they may never.
For physicians, many of whom have been indoctrinated into a certain mindset, acceptance depends not only on the strength of the argument or evidence, which the 10 Integrative Medicine presentations provided to a high degree.
It also is based upon whether highly skilled and educated individuals can remove filters and break free into an open mind (and therefore hear the evidence to begin with), and recognize what their incomplete and perhaps flawed existing viewpoint is costing them, and their patients. Can they question the paradigm and information that’s been rammed down their throats, or subtly/insidiously repeated, from various sources during the course of a career in medicine? A few wouldn’t “listen”, simply couldn’t get to the point of listening. Many were, thankfully.
Much of the informal discussion, let alone lectures – at breakfast, at dinner, on the decks, etc. – afforded an opportunity to provide clarification and non-threatening discussion, and during the discourse maybe pry open a mind further.
I am grateful for the many MDs that privately spoke of the value of, and the unanimous written support for, what they heard. They were those that wanted more info about how their patients can access Integrative Medicine services, and more training for themselves. Mission accomplished! … More work to do.
Dr. Gannage was selected as Favourite Complementary MD by National Nutrition Awards for 2018, with the trophy and medal received in March 2019. Says Dr. Gannage:
“I’m proud of the award because, practicing as an integrative medicine physician for 20 years now, I’m well aware of the hard work and challenges that are associated with being a Complementary Medicine MD. Yes, hard work as well as dedication, a great team, patients that teach me … and thick skin when needed. To be considered a favourite is an honour. Thank you National Nutrition Awards.”
Introductory webinar available now + new Toronto date announced for Dr. Gannage’s innovative continuing education program!
Dr. Gannage will be presenting his comprehensive educational program, complete with the most recent and relevant medical research on nutritional and environmental influences on neurodevelopment, to practitioners in Vancouver on December 7th, 2019 and in Toronto on February 22nd, 2020.
Several months of rigorous work and extensive research went into the development of this program, which consists of detailed modules on children and environmental medicine, the microbiome and brain health, and nutritional intervention, spanning more than 400 detailed slides.
The program, the only one of its kind, has been approved by the College of Family Physicians of Canada for continuing education credits, an exciting accomplishment and major feat.
Practitioners in the Vancouver and Toronto areas can follow this link to register for Dr. Gannage’s groundbreaking program now!
Anyone who is interested can follow this link to watch Dr. Gannage’s one-hour introductory webinar for free.
Dr. Gannage has been a member of MAPS (Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs) for several years, participating in ongoing education and mentorship in the area of Autism Spectrum Disorder and other complex developmental disorders.
Dr. Gannage has recently been awarded MAPS Fellowship in recognition of his extensive training and knowledge in this field.
MAPS Fellows are some of the practitioners with the highest level of expertise in the care of families afflicted by ASD and similarly complex pediatric conditions.

In addition to continuing to hold an active medical license in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), as of 2021, Dr. Gannage also now holds an active medical license in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC), enabling him to practice medicine in either province.
In May 2021, Dr. Gannage presented Mast Cell Instability: Why It Matters at the 50th annual Orthomolecular Medicine Today Conference.
This presentation, rooted in the latest research and further informed by Dr. Gannage’s significant clinical experience, explores the complexity of mast cell activation and how understanding the role of mast cells can lead to better management of chronic, inflammatory conditions.
Our mission is to increase awareness about the role of mast cell instability in chronic illness. If you would like to share this presentation with your practitioner, or if you are a practitioner or an individual and would like to access the program, please contact us to request complimentary access to the presentation recording.

I am so happy to your quick respond and also kit is so good Quality.
Arrived in perfect condition as usual. On initial inspection the moulding looks good without any blemishes or flash
Has arrived yesterday and i am totaly flashed. All these wonderfull details. Amazing and awesome.
This is my first kit. I thought it was very good quality, hardly any air bubbles, but be prepared to have a very steady hand whilst removing some of the flash tabs - particularly in the hair, they can be quite awkward! A lot of the hair pieces didn't fit very well together so putty work was required. Quality of the pattern on the detailed clothing pieces was great. Overall I would say a good kit.
beautiful figure, the kit was well finished. I did not like his head in his hands, but the tog is beautiful
some Details are so filigree, that they broken, but it`s a nice cast, thanks

She is really fantastic, the cast is good and it's all arrived safely
Item arrived safe. Well packed and in good conditon. Material feels very dry, not that smooth as before... different workshop maybe with other way to mix the resin... more difficult to sand it. Sad.
on the first look everything seems fine . great details, gread fitting and save packaging but the second look shows a lot of problems. in the hair are a lot of bubbles some parts are broken or very thin, but with some skillfullnes I hope I can fixed it. I have bought it twice and now I hope the second cast is better than the first one . But thanks to E that you give us this possibility to get this great Kit.
It's a fantastic GK and the recast is really great! The package is perfect!
Fantastic quality! Even almost better than original kit *_*

WASHINGTON (CN) – The SEC told two advertising men to stop soliciting investors on Facebook and Twitter for $300 million to buy the Pabst beer company, unless they register with the Commission and make legally required disclosures.
The SEC said defendants Michael Migliozzi II, 45, of California, and Brian William Flatow, 41, of Connecticut, consented to a cease and desist order.
The men had been directing investors to their website, BuyaBeerCompany.com.
“The stated purpose of the website was to solicit investors via crowdsourcing to invest $300 million to purchase Pabst Brewing Company (‘Pabst’) from its owner, a private charitable trust which was then looking for a buyer,” the SEC said in its cease and desist order. “Crowdsourcing is the use of social media and the Internet to organize a large group of individuals to achieve a common goal, in this instance, to raise capital.”
Migliozzi is or was managing partner and sole owner of Forza Migliozzi. Flatow is or was president of The Ad Store. Both are advertising agencies, the SEC said in its order.
“The BuyaBeerCompany.com website elicited $14.75 million in pledges during its first three weeks of operation,” the SEC said in its order.
The order continued: “The respondents announced in a subsequent February 22, 2010 press release that the BuyaBeerCompany.com website had received over $200 million in pledges from more than five million pledgors. In the same release, they also announced that their search for a firm to assist in the acquisition was under way. Flatow subsequently met with an attorney in New York on or about February 26, 2010, to discuss how to go about collecting the pledges by incorporating an acquisition vehicle. The possibility of an initial public offering was discussed.
“A March 15, 2010 article in The Daily Deal reported that Migliozzi and Flatow had retained counsel and planned to incorporate Buy a Beer Company LLC. Thus, in lieu of a certificate of ownership, pledgors would receive stock in the acquisition corporation. The entity was never incorporated.
“The BuyaBeerCompany.com website continued to solicit pledges until the Respondents took the website down in April 2010. No monies were ever collected.”

Benjamin Sainte-Clementine (born 7 December 1988) is a Mercury Prize winning, British-French poet, pianist, composer, musician and a recording artist from London, England. Dubbed as the future sound of London, he grew up in North London before moving to France for a period of time. During his spell whilst singing in Paris he broke free from the traditional song structure, inventing his own dramatic and innovative musical territory and consequently became a cult figure in the music and art scene.
He then moved back to London and subsequently made his TV debut on the British television programme Later With Jools Holland which was praised by the BBC. Most critics have honored him citing and describing him as a man of unusual intelligence, great pianistic style and deep musicality with charisma on stage but nonetheless, found it difficult to place his music in one specific genre, mostly stating that its rather beyond category. However, his vocal range, ability and diction has mostly been compared to that of Nina Simone, Antony Hegarty and his passionate vocal delivery to Edith Piaf. Britain's London Evening Standard named him one of London's most influential people of 2015 in their The Power 1000.
Clementine's music is famously incisive and poetic, mixing revolt with love, hope, rebellion and melancholy, sophisticated lyricism with slang and shouts, and rhyming verse with prose monologues. He is noticeably seen playing on stage entirely in black or dark grey long trench-like woollen coat with no shirt underneath, in bare feet.Wide ThumbClearartFanartBanner User Comments

most powerful credit reporting agency risk scores on the market. scoring. Take advantage of a .... through Equifax (PinnacleSM score), TransUnion. (Risk Score ...
FICO® NextGen Risk Scores scoring Take advantage of a breakthrough in risk assessment FICO® NextGen scores are designed to give lenders improved credit risk assessment over FICO® scores in marketing, originations and account management. FICO research indicates that in a variety of industries, credit grantors can lower bad rates between 10% and 25%, or increase approval rates up to 5% or more by using FICO® NextGen Scores. This can translate to increased profits of up to $10 per new account scored, and even more in some industries.
ICO has undertaken a major challenge, and succeeded. With its FICO® NextGen score, FICO has taken the predictive power of the industry-standard score to an entirely new level. Using the latest advances in predictive technology, deep analyst insight and capitalizing on extensive consumer credit reporting agency (CRA) data, FICO developed an entirely new design blueprint for our nextgeneration credit reporting agency risk scores. The result is sharper evaluation across the entire risk spectrum. FICO® NextGen scores are available for improved predictive power.
Improvements translate to bottom-line benefits
% Above cutoﬀ
FICO® NextGen scores
% of Approved Goods
Bads (90+ days or worse)
Charge-oﬀ or worse
FICO research suggests that a bankcard issuer using FICO® NextGen risk scores in lieu of FICO® risk scores—at a score cutoff around 680—could increase the number of accounts scoring above the score cutoff, while still decreasing the bad rate by up to 11% and the number of charge-offs and bankrupts by up to 13%. Assuming $175 revenue per “good” account over 18 months and a $3,500 loss for each charge-off or bankrupt account, the bankcard issuer could see increased profits of more than $9 per account scored.
»»Improvements you can measure
FICO® NextGen risk scores offer more refined risk assessment for multiple portfolio types and population segments, compared with other credit reporting agency risk scores. We tested and compared these scores to our classic FICO® risk scores on millions of credit records, and found improvements for: • Overall performance across all industries. The FICO® NextGen risk scores showed a 20%–25% improvement over the classic risk scores in the number of future “bad” accounts scoring below a given score cutoff. • Subprime market. Among a subprime population—credit files with prior serious delinquencies or charge-offs—a lender using the FICO® NextGen risk scores in lieu of the classic risk scores could increase the number of approved loans by 6%–10%, while still lowering losses.
• Heavy credit users. Among the lowestscoring 10% of consumers with revolving bankcard balances of $3,000 or more, the FICO® NextGen risk scores identified 23% more future bad payers than the classic scores. • Multiple portfolio types. By switching from classic FICO® scores to FICO® NextGen risk scores, a decrease in bad rates of up to 20% is possible for lenders in various industries, including bankcard, auto, mortgage, retail and personal finance.
designed blueprint Our analytic staff’s unparalleled expertise in analyzing CRA data has resulted in the most powerful credit reporting agency risk scores on the market.
Make every decision countTM
FICO analytic experts used automated search technologies and data analysis techniques to tease out subtle, previously undetected, risk patterns in the CRA data. The primary design innovations are: 1. Multi-dimensional “mini-models” that capture key interactions in the data. FICO researchers expanded their use of interaction modeling, adding many multidimensional predictive variables—or mini-models—to the FICO® NextGen score risk models. There are now more than 80 predictive variables behind the FICO® NextGen scores—nearly twice the number used for the classic FICO® risk scores. The FICO® NextGen score mini-models evaluate the relationship between credit events to reveal more of the risk pattern in a consumer’s behavior. For example, a mini-model can examine both the presence of recently opened trade lines and the delinquency history on these new accounts to yield more predictive value. 2. Expanded segmentation of consumers across a broader risk spectrum. The FICO® NextGen score risk models divide consumers into more segments. There are now 18 separate scoring models, versus 10 for the classic risk scores. The FICO® NextGen score model moves well beyond the segmentation scheme used in the classic risk scores to analyze the degree of delinquency history along with more conventional segmentation variables.
For more information
In other words, FICO® NextGen score separately evaluates consumers according to those with very clean credit histories, those with mild forms of prior delinquency and those with more severe derogatory information. This expanded segmentation enables the use of predictive variables that tease out subtle differences in risk profiles for each segment. 3. Differentiation between degrees of future payment performance. In developing any score, the performance outcome classification is crucial—in this case, the definition of “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory” credit obligations. This determines what kind of future performance the scores will actually assess. For our classic risk scores, consumers are classified as “good” or “bad” payers based on their worst delinquency or derogatory status on any credit obligation in the two years after the scoring date. That is, a consumer who went seriously delinquent on 2 out of 10 accounts would be classified as “bad” and so would a consumer who went delinquent on all 10 trades. In FICO® NextGen risk score development, consumers were classified by the degree of positive or negative performance across all credit obligations. For example, a consumer who went delinquent on 2 out of 10 trades would be classified differently than another who went delinquent on all 10 trades.

International +44 (0) 207 940 8718
for easier adoption To make our FICO® NextGen risk scores easier to adopt, we’ve calibrated the models to the same odds-to-score relationship observed with the classic risk scores. This means that for a given score range, expected odds for the FICO® NextGen risk scores should be similar to those for the classic FICO® scores. As with the classic risk scores, up to five score reason codes (four reason codes plus one Facta) will be delivered with every score.
FICO® NextGen scores are currently available through Equifax (PinnacleSM score), TransUnion (Risk Score, NextGen score), and Experian (the Experian/ FICO® Advanced Risk Model Score) and through the FICO® PreScore® Service and FICO® Score Delivery.

Lifejacket focus on Lake Mulwala this weekend
30 November 2012
Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) boating safety officers (BSO) will be out in force on Lake Mulwala this weekend assisting with the safe staging of the Cod Classic.
RMS Maritime Operations Acting General Manager Trevor Williams said safety on the water would be paramount with 1400 vessels registered to participate in the fishing competition.
“BSO will be randomly checking boaters to ensure they are wearing or carrying sufficient lifejackets for everyone on board,” Mr Williams said.
“The legislation changed in 2010 but still there seems to be some confusion about lifejacket requirements.
“BSO will be conducting random checks of safety equipment during the fishing competition and will have zero tolerance to those who are not wearing a lifejacket if required.
“The message is simple, check the RMS website or go to http://www.lifejacketwearit.com.au/ to check when lifejackets need to be worn – or face an on-the-spot fine.
“Skippers should also ensure all lifejackets on board are serviced regularly according to manufacturer’s specifications,” Mr Williams said.

By PHILIP ELLIOTT
WASHINGTON - His approval ratings slipping, President Barack H. Obama is retooling his message on health care overhaul, aiming to win over Americans who already have insurance.
Polling shows that Americans - especially those who already have coverage - are skeptical of the Democratic proposals to expand coverage to the nearly 50 millions who lack it. So Obama will use a potentially boisterous town hall-style meeting in New Hampshire to highlight how his proposals would affect workers whose employers provide their health insurance.
Critics of the president's plan - his top domestic priority - have grabbed headlines by disrupting town hall meetings, putting the White House on the defensive.
Hours before Obama was to arrive at Portsmouth High School Tuesday afternoon, the road leading to the event site was lined with people - about 100 supporters of Obama's health care overhaul on one side and about half as many opponents on the other.
"I'm here because I'm an American, I believe in free speech and I'm scared to death," said Barbara Taylor, 65, of Exeter, N.H.
She arrived at 7:30 a.m. and was soaking wet from a severe downpour earlier in the morning. The rain had blurred the red ink on the sign Taylor carried: "Hands Off Our Health Care."
On the other side, Linda McVay held her own sign calling attention to Americans without health insurance. She said her son has been without insurance since losing his job in November.
Obama is prepared for possible disruptions Tuesday, said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, appearing on television talk shows.
"I think what the president will do is turn to that person and probably ask them to be civilized and give them an answer to their question," Gibbs told CBS' "The Early Show."
Concerns over Obama's proposal are heating up meetings, chat rooms and radio shows, driving his approval numbers down and threatening the future of his signature issue. While Congress is in recess for the month of August, lawmakers are hearing from frustrated constituents worried about government's role in health care and the costs of an overhaul.
"There's a lot of fear out there," said Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, a New Hampshire Democrat.
To calm that fear, Obama plans to spend the month highlighting the upside of health overhaul for Americans already with insurance, starting in a state in which 89 percent of residents have health coverage.
In Portsmouth, N.H., Obama will speak directly about his proposal to ban insurance companies from denying individuals coverage because of pre-existing conditions. During a Friday trip to Bozeman, Mont., he will talk about how his plan would block companies from dropping an individual's coverage if he or she becomes ill. And in Grand Junction, Colo., the president will talk about how the Democrats' plan would end high out-of-pocket costs in some policies.
The Democratic National Committee began running television ads that ask, "What's in it for you?" and then highlights those goals. Officials said the ad started running Monday night in Washington and on cable; it would follow as early as Tuesday in states Obama planned to visit, including New Hampshire.
About 1,800 people are expected for that midday event in the Democratic-leaning Seacoast region of the Granite State. Of those, 70 percent were given tickets based on a random lottery - a potentially dicey crowd in a state known for its grass-roots political activism.
"Participating in government here in New Hampshire is like putting on socks for the average American," said Ray Buckley, the chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
Outside, a dozen grass-roots organizations plan a counter-rally.
Republicans say the heated debate is a sign of widespread public dissatisfaction with Obama's ideas. But with some of the anxieties spilling into angry disruptions and even threats, Democrats have accused Republicans of orchestrating the events to sabotage legislation. In an article published Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer wrote, "Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American."
Obama and his aides stayed away from such provocative language.

“This is an honest but painful budget that returns California’s General Fund spending to levels unseen since the 1970s,” Brown said in a statement. “We’ve cut our deficit by $15 billion and achieved financial balance this year. This is a huge step forward. But California’s long-term stability depends on our willingness to continue to pay down debt and live within our means.”

The next fiscal year begins Friday, and an on-time budget hasn’t been passed in five years. For the first time, legislators’ salaries were suspended every day past the June 15 deadline until a balanced budget was approved.

The CIA’s World Factbook describes Thailand as an ethnically homogenous country with Thais comprising 95% of the population. 1 This image hews closely to the official characterization of Thailand that dates back to the late colonial era. As Britain and France encircled Siam (the former name of Thailand until 1939) from all sides, the Siamese elite began referring to the major Tai ethnic groups within its domain of influence as regional members of the Thai ethnic group to which the Siamese belonged. Thus, the Lao of the Khorat Plateau (today about 30% of the population) became the Northeastern Thai, and the Black Lao of the Northern Hills (today about 12% of the population) became the Northern Thai. 2 This Thai project of nationalism proceeded thenceforth, mimicking the European nation states that were threatening its borders. State tools of universal education were paired together with mapmaking, the centralization of Buddhism, and national propaganda to turn peasants into Thai-men, to borrow a phrase from Eugene Weber’s famous monograph on the development of French nationalism. 3How successful has the Thai nationalist project been 120 years on?
I explore this question amongst the Lanna ethnic group of Northern Thailand. The Lanna people of Northern Thailand comprise approximately 8 million people, or 12% of Thailand’s population. 4 More commonly calling themselves by the ethnonym khonmueang, literally “people of the mueang 5”, the group is also referred to as Tai Yuan and Northern Thai. Each of these names have specific historical origins and political implications. Indeed, as Siam was first annexing the territories of the former Lanna Kingdom in 1899, Siamese elites referred to them as Lao. 6
How successful has the incorporation of the Lanna people into the Thai national identity been? To what extent do they see themselves as Thai, and to what extent to these other identities still hold?
One answer to this question can be derived from general attitudes and perceptions of the Lanna. Unlike the negative stereotypes that have often pervaded Thai society about the Isan ethnic group, the Lanna have tended to be painted as a gentle, civilized people. Perhaps it helps that the Lanna do not have co-ethnics living in a border country, like the Isan have in the Lao of neighboring Laos. Perhaps it has to do with the location of the earliest Tai kingdoms within Thailand’s current borders falling in Lanna’s territory. Regardless, Chiangmai is seen as a desirable vacation spot for Bangkokians, who return to the capital with tales of their beautiful, pale skin, soft-spoken tongue, and rich culture.
This essay seeks to go beyond stereotypes, answering the question of the Lanna’s Thai identity by turning to public opinion surveys conducted by the World Values Survey (WVS). In addition, I share results from the Lanna Cultural Project (LCP), which currently involves three surveys I conducted in the North in between 2015 and 2019.
Thai National Identity
I use two questions from WVS, which conducted two waves in Thailand in 2007 and 2013. WVS also asks a question on which language is spoken in the home, which is the best ethnic marker available in the survey, and provides a good, though imperfect, measure of ethnic identity. We can use this measure to examine differences in strength of national identity in Thailand. Figure 1 shows results from the question “How proud are you to be Thai?” by ethnic group. Responses were given on a pre-determined 4-point scale, where 1 signifies “Not at all proud” and 4 “Very Proud”. Most respondents answered either 3 or 4, with the average of all groups above 3.5. The Central Thai (or Siamese)—the dominant group in the country—have the lowest average levels of pride. The Lanna, averaged over the 2007 and 2013 surveys, have the highest level, followed closely by the Isan.
This result is echoed by responses to another question gauging the degree respondents see themselves as a citizen of Thailand, again measured on a 4-point scale. Figure 2 shows that the averages of all groups are somewhere between Agree (3) and Strongly Agree (4). Again, the Lanna have the highest average level on this question.
So, should we conclude that the Lanna are the most strongly Thai? What is uncertain in both these questions is the context in which respondents answered. Particularly, who or what is the out-group to which respondents are comparing themselves to? If I don’t have pride in being Thai, what other identity would I have pride in? Similarly, if I am not part of the Thai nation, what other nation would I be a part of? The ethnicity literature has long established that individuals hold numerous identities at the same time, each competing for dominance, both overall and in specific contexts. To illustrate the complexity of simply concluding that the Lanna are the most strongly Thai, I present an additional question from WVS: the degree respondents see themselves as part of their local community. In WVS, this question is asked immediately following the one on seeing oneself as part of the Thai nation. Figure 3 displays these results, revealing that the Lanna come out on top again, suggesting they have both the strongest national and local identities. But how are we to interpret these results? For some, this result is puzzling. Shouldn’t the group with the strongest Thai identity have the weakest local identity? What does this mean?
The WVS, which was not designed to analyze questions on national and ethnic identity, are limited in what they can tell us about how ethnic groups in Thailand feel about either the Thai national identity, or the Lanna identity. As such, starting in 2015, I have conducted three surveys that delve into these questions more deeply. First, I re-ask the question “How Proud Are You to Be Thai?”, to tackle the desirability bias and limited scale of the WVS question. First, I ask respondents to compare themselves to the average Thai’s level of pride which we told them was at the middle of the scale. The reason for this was to help respondents feel more comfortable indicating lower relative levels of pride without revealing low absolute levels of pride. In Thailand, there are strong social pressures to exhibit high levels of nationalism and low relative levels do not necessitate low absolute levels, thus minimizing desirability bias. The second adjustment to the question was simply to allow a larger response scale, which I increased from four categories to a 10-point scale. Figure 5 displays the results. Only 11.82% considered themselves the same as the average person in terms of pride in being Thai. Another ~15% consider themselves to have levels of pride lower than the average person. While still low, what these results show is that there is significantly more variation than the WVS results suggest, where only 0.54% of respondents said they were “Not Very Proud” or “Not at All Proud.” The remaining 73% believe themselves to have higher levels of pride in being Thai than the average person, with just 13.69% placing themselves in the top category compared to 95.70% in the WVS survey. Since this was a survey exclusive to the Lanna region of Northern Thailand, I am currently unable to compare this to other ethnic groups. However, what we can see is that there is a lot more variation in strength of Thai identity among the Lanna with the changes I made to the question.
Lanna Identity and Lanna Nationalism
Now, turning to the conundrum of the Lanna having the strongest national local identities in the WVS. A second question in the LCP asks respondents to compare their Thai identity to their regional identities. I presented respondents with six different identities, which they were required to rank from 1 to 6, with 1 indicating they ranked it of the most importance. Table 1 shows the average ranking of each identity. We can see that the Thai identity is ranked the highest on average, with 41.88% of ranking it first and an overall average ranking of 2.37. I gave respondents three options of different ethno-regional identities: Northern, Lanna, and Chiangmai. Together, the three regional identities were ranked first 43.56% of the time. 7 Comparing the three identities, Northern has the second highest average ranking, though both the Lanna and Chiangmai identities were ranked first more frequently. The averages of the three ethno-regional identities were very similar, moreover. This seems to indicate that some individuals may prefer one ethnonym over the other, but on average they are highly substitutable.
Table 1. Rank ordering of identities, Khammueang Speakers
1 2 5 4 5 6 Average
Thai 41.88 19.63 8.39 20.56 9.14 0.41 2.37
Northern 11.01 26.67 38.32 20.44 2.97 0.58 2.79
Lanna 17.47 26.79 24.40 22.36 7.57 1.40 2.80
Chiangmai 15.08 22.54 24.34 27.32 8.44 2.27 2.98
Tai 2.68 2.39 3.79 7.28 51.02 32.85 5.00
Asian 11.88 1.98 0.82 2.04 20.85 62.43 5.05
But is there an association between feelings of pride in being Thai and one’s ranking of the Thai identity with the comparison categories explicitly given? To answer this question, I run a test that is used to measure association between two ordinal variables. 8 The results indicate a very weak level of association. Indeed, 60.00% of Lanna respondents who indicated they had the lowest levels of pride in being Thai, still ranked Thai above any of the regional identities. This compares to just 45.30% of those who indicated they had the highest levels of pride in being Thai. And the relationship is not neatly linear either. In short, there is not a clear relationship between how proud one feels to be Thai and the ranking of their Thai identity, once the Lanna identity is brought into the picture. The best conclusion, therefore, is that individuals are torn between the two identities.
I thus conclude with the results from a final question on the LCP. I asked respondents to explicitly compare their Thai and Lanna identities. This overcomes the problem of three different ethnoregional identities obscuring the comparison. Respondents could indicate that they were “Thai not Lanna”, “More Thai than Lanna”, “Equally Lanna and Thai”, “More Lanna Than Thai”, and finally “Lanna Not Thai”. A similar question has been asked amongst the ethnoregional minorities of the United Kingdom (Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish) for many years. As Figure 6 shows, the vast majority of people (72.11%) feel equally Thai and Lanna. There are an equal number of people either side of this middle category, ~14% that feel either more Lanna than Thai or More Thai than Lanna.
To return to the motivating question of this essay, the results from WVS and LCP demonstrate that although the Thai national identity began its construction amongst the Lanna only just over a century ago that its incorporation into the identity set of the Lanna people has been highly successful. However, the fact that the Lanna identity seems as equally strong as the Thai identity is both surprising and instructive. This helps explain some political events that have occurred in Lanna over the past few years, events that demonstrate the tussle between these two identities. As described in more detail in a book manuscript I am currently completing, the Lanna more than any other ethno-regional group bar the Malay Muslims in the Deep South, have experienced an increase in the politicization of their ethnic identity. In early 2014, banners were hung from bridges across cities in the North calling for a separate Lanna state. Arrests were made, but there was a reluctance to believe (or at least advertise) that this was more widespread than a few individuals. The results of the LCP, which will be described in my book indicate more support for nationalist sentiment than Thai officials are comfortable with, but far short of the violent insurgencies of the South. Yet the Political Science literature tells us very little about how such groups as the Lanna make the transition from restless to rebellious and thus how to best placate them. Any consideration of ethnoregionalism in the future will have to grapple with the competing identities I have presented in this article.

'Phenomenal Black Women' Event Celebrates Those Who Changed History
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - African-American women, from both past and present, are being remembered and celebrated.
A new event in Charlottesville hoped to bring attention to the work that African-American women did in the fight for justice.
“I think it’s really important to honor women of color,” said community activist and organizer, Tanesha Hudson.
On Saturday, at the Jefferson School African-American Heritage Center, dozens of people gathered to do honor and remember.
Spoken-word poet, Myra Anderson, said, “I see you. Standing in the crowd with the weight of the world on your shoulders, chin up, hair laid, walking to the rhythm of the sound, ain't no stopping you now. You are magic.”
“This is a celebration, not a wake,” noted Alex Zhan.
Organizer Hudson said it is past time for those women to be honored.
“Because they often go unrewarded for their untiring efforts and you know the fight for justice. The fight for civil rights, their hard work in the education system like black women has led the way for so long and went unrewarded and I think it’s just important to honor them.”
Hudson said she expects the event to grow next year, and hopes to include women of every color.
“This year we focused on women of color but next year well mix it up a bit because it is a joint fight. It’s joint effort so it’s all women,” said Hudson. “It’s just really important for people to get the history of women that have done great things, like the fight for social justice is not new, it’s been happening, and we need to all pay attention to it.”
Hudson said they were able to pull the event together with help from donations from several local businesses.
The next celebration of African-American women is expected to be held in March of 2020.
