Conceptually, Simon Brodkin’s new show is inspired. Switching between stand-up and character comedy, he takes four guises; a chavvy compère, political American, premiership footballer and, finally, himself. But can he pull it off?
Brimming over with massive amounts of energy and confidence, Brodkin instantly lights up the room as stand-up low-life Lee Nelson, sidestepping most – but, admittedly, not all – of the easy shots in satirising chav culture. American Eddie Ramirez isn’t as impressive; the material is passable but a cringeworthy accent softens its kick. Sportsman Jason Bent brings it back, with a series of monotonous anecdotes masterfully lampooning the two-dimensional world of people paid obscene amounts of money to kick a ball about.
But it is as himself that Brodkin really shines. Returning to the recurring themes of race and religion, he displays a previously unseen passion while musing on hecklers, his heritage and a professional desire for more terror attacks. And his response to audience gasps after a close-to-the-bone anti-Semitic bit? ‘It’s OK, I’m Jewish. My relatives died for that joke.’

With apologies to Philip Roth…Goodbye Columbo.
Peter Falk passed away yesterday at 83. Probably most famous to most people for his longtime role as the rumpled but intelligent Lt. Columbo, Peter Falk had a long and storied career as a film and television actor. In fact, his breakout role was as psychopathic hitman Abe Reles in 1960’s Murder Inc., an Oscar-nominated performance.
Video: Murder Inc. trailer
I’ve always appreciated Falk’s versatility. He could play serious or demented characters, but also excelled in comedy roles in Murder By Death, The Great Race and The In-Laws; even his cab driver cameo in It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World was memorable.
He was great friends with John Cassavetes and made several films with John, Gena Rowlands, Seymour Cassell and Ben Gazzara. Husbands and A Woman Under The Influence got bigger press, but my favorite Cassavetes collaboration was Mikey and Nicky (directed by Elaine May), a story about a tragic and twisted friendship.
Video: Mikey and Nickey trailer.
And following on yesterday’s TGIF about Boston criminals, I would be remiss in not mentioning The Brink’s Job. Falk could do it all.
Just one more thing…goodbye Peter Falk. Thanks for a lifetime of great work.

Refusing to talk about climate change in hopes it will go away is hardly a sensible strategy.
But it’s not really a surprise that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wants to downplay or ignore the topic at the Arctic Council ministerial meeting in Rovaniemi, Finland on Tuesday.
A Kansas Republican, Pompeo is a loyal follower of President Donald Trump, taking his cues from the man who famously said climate change was a hoax invented by China.
Pompeo, who branded his agency the “Department of Swagger” on Instagram last year, has long been in the ranks of climate change deniers.
“There are scientists who think lots of different things about climate change,” Pompeo said six years ago on C-Span. “There’s some who think we’re warming, there’s some who think we’re cooling, there’s some who think that the last 16 years have shown a pretty stable climate environment.”
In 2017, he told Congress he hadn’t changed his mind, showing he was willing to put his ideology ahead of science.
Pompeo’s staff has been making noises that he doesn’t want climate change or the Paris climate agreement included in the Arctic Council declaration that is to follow the meeting in Finland. The Washington Post quoted anonymous sources as saying that the U.S. had softened its opposition in recent days, but the real test will be the final product.
President Trump hired Pompeo last year after firing Rex Tillerson, the former head of ExxonMobil who occasionally challenged Trump.
In 2017, Tillerson’s staff wanted the Arctic Council to soft pedal climate change in a statement expressing a multi-national consensus at the Fairbanks ministerial meeting.
“There was a great deal of debate as to whether or not climate would even be addressed in the declaration,” Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was quoted as saying at the time. “It is significant to note that not only was it addressed, it was acknowledged in the Fairbanks Declaration that climate change is happening, that we’re seeing impacts in the Arctic at twice the rate as in other places, and it is attributable to emissions.”
The proposed text for the Fairbanks Declaration included a clear statement that the “pace and scale of continuing Arctic warming will strongly depend on future emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants.”
Because of U.S. pressure, the word “strongly” was removed from the final text.
In 2017, Murkowski said she hoped that Tillerson could go back to Trump and use the Fairbanks Declaration to “make the argument that it’s important to clarify our climate policy.”
Pompeo is unlikely to be amenable to such a position.
Whether the Finland Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting produces a watered-down statement on climate change or not, the pressure brought to bear on the Arctic Council this way is indicative of what some observers have identified as a structural problem in its operation that isn’t going away.
“The elephant in the room in regional Arctic politics is climate change,” Heather Exner-Pirot and five other authors wrote in a February blog post of the Arctic Institute.
“The frequent reluctance of American and Russian, and occasionally other governments to openly accept and commit to mitigating climate change through reducing greenhouse gases, let alone discuss the challenges of adapting to a necessary post-petroleum future, has precluded the Council from addressing one of the major threats to sustainable development and environmental protection in the region. The Arctic Council’s lack of efforts to mitigate climate change is a weakness,” they wrote.
For all that, the council has provided a model for global leadership in what it has attempted. It has been more effective over the past 15 years than other regional forums, they said, beginning from the 2004 Arctic Climate Impact Assessment.
“It is a truism that someone’s greatest strength is often their greatest weakness,” Exner-Pirot and her colleagues wrote. “So it is with the Arctic Council. A few of its core institutional features have both pros and cons, but changing them would add unnecessary risk to the integrity of the forum.”

ISLAMABAD: Keeping in mind the fast changing market situations across the board in Pakistan in the wake of petrol price hike and rupee depreciation, Prime Minister Imran Khan has reportedly convened an urgent huddle on Monday to diffuse the situation, ARY News reported.
The huddle will discuss the ways to resolve mounting pressure on the people and to hammer out policies to curb inflation in the ongoing state of affairs.
According to the source privy to the matters, the session will be chaired by PM Imran Khan and it is to take full account of the sitauation at hand and to find ways to circumnavigate the cascading effects of petrol price hike.
The ministers will be advised to keep close to provincial ministries and local officials to chart out better ways to extend relief to people, the sources said.
Pertinent to note that earlier today, Dairy and Cattle Farmers Association (DCFA) president Shakir Umar Gujjar said that Oct 22 the dairy milk prices will go up by Rs40- to 45, while he spoke to ARY News morning show, lamenting that no coordinated efforts were made in the past 70 years to help dairy industry.
He said the real price the principal dairy product should be sold at is Rs155 per liter, noting in the first phase Sindh markets will see the hike which will later be implemented in Punjab next.
The DCFA president said if the government wanted the prices could be much lower but the fodder and essentials for our cattle are mostly exported leaving the market very inflated for local consumers.

Kody Brown and “Sister Wives” Family Challenge Utah Law
Kody Brown and his family are expected to file a lawsuit in Utah on Wednesday that will challenge the state’s polygamy law. While Brown considers himself married to four wives, he is legally married only to his first wife Meri. The family, including wives Janelle, Christine and Robin plus16 children, stars in TLC’s “Sister Wives” reality television series.
The Brown family belongs to a fundamentalist sect of the Mormon faith. They lived in Lehi, Utah, until concerns about prosecution under the state’s polygamy laws caused them to move to Nevada. Charges against Kody Brown for bigamy, a third-degree felony, were never filed in Utah.
Jonathan Turley, a Constitutional law professor based in Washington, D.C., will file the suit on behalf of the Brown family, according to the Washington Post. Turley’s case does not rest on the legality of bigamy but on the right of consenting adults to handle their private interpersonal relationships without interference.
In a press release quoted by the Salt Lake Tribune, Turley said, “We are only challenging the right of the state to prosecute people for their private relations and demanding equal treatment with other citizens in living their lives according to their own beliefs.”

This application relates to a method for producing wetfelted fiberboard having a textured surface. It relates more particularly to a method and apparatus for creating a textured surface on the fiberboard before the mat is fully de-watered. It relates still more particularly to a porous matrix for the texture pattern, to a method for making said matrix, and to a method for manufacturing such fiberboard by means of such porous matrix.
The production of fiberboard on a Fourdrinier machine or Oliver cylinder machine is well known. Such machines are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,391,013 (Re. 27,109) and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,744, respectively. Other descriptions are abundantly available.
Generally, the fiberboard is processed further to form acoustical ceiling tiles or panels, wall panels, and the like. It is often desirable to impart a pleasing texture to such products for esthetic reasons, and, to some extent, for improved acoustical properties.
Methods known for imparting a texture include the patterned sandblasting of the dried fiberboard, rough screeding of the partially de-watered slurry of fibers, and pressing of the wet mat under a solid press roll having the reverse of the desired pattern in the metal. The sandblasting procedure must be very carefully controlled and it is wasteful of the eroded material. The screeding procedure is limited as to the number of distinctive patterns that can be formed. The solid press rolls do not achieve high fidelity in the reproduction of the pattern.
In more recent versions of the Fourdrinier machine for making fiberboard, the removal of water from the thin slurry of fibers is accomplished not only by free drainage through the felting wire near the headbox and by vacuum during passage over the suction boxes but also by vacuum as the slurry passes under a series of suction press rolls mounted above the bottom wire and mated with a series of rolls which contact the bottom wire. The top suction press rolls are perforated cylinders, each having a vacuum slice which is stationary but mounted within the perforated cylinder in slidable contact with the inner wall. The top wire of the Fourdrinier forms a continuous loop around the set of suction rolls. Usually, these suction rolls are used only to consolidate the slurry and smooth its surface. Attempts have been made, however, to use the final suction roll to impress a texture pattern on the still very wet fibrous mass. Such attempts have had limited success. Wrapping the final suction roll with a felting wire having the pattern formed thereon is impractical because the wire soon stretches during use so that kinks are formed and, eventually, the wire can no longer be held in place on the roll. Replacement of the felting wire with a sheet of another material as the pattern-bearing medium must take into account the fact that, in order to function on the suction roll, the sheet must have a sufficient number of holes in alignment with the perforations in the cylinder wall to establish effective communication between the vacuum slice and the fibrous slurry. Because the number of holes must be limited in order to prevent excessive weakening of the sheet, the random scattering of a multitude of holes in order to assure sufficient communication is not favored. Thus, until the present invention, careful alignment of the holes in the pattern sheet with the perforations in the suction roll would have been the costly solution.
Moreover, the area to be covered by a pattern matrix affixed to a typical suction press roll is about 100 square feet, the cylindrical roll being 12.5 feet long and having a diameter of about 2.5 feet. The transferral of the designer's pattern to a sheet-like matrix large enough to encircle such a cylinder is not a simple task for a patternmaker, who traditionally casts the mold between two plates both of which must be carefully prepared and checked to certify that each is a true plate, a truly flat plate. The bottom plate or table is often a massive piece of highly polished granite. An upper plate large enough and rigid enough to serve as a true plate for a 100 square foot casting would be much too heavy for practical use.
The invention described and claimed herein eliminates the need for either of the true plates of the patternmaker's art.
It is therefore, an object of this invention to provide a porous matrix for a fiberboard pattern, which matrix when mounted on a suction press roll provides lateral air and water passages which connect the holes in the matrix with the perforations in the press roll.
It is another object of this invention to provide a pattern matrix having a laminated base of uniform thickness.
It is another object of this invention to provide a porous matrix which is adapted for placement on a suction press roll.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method for making a porous matrix bearing a pattern for texturing fiberboard.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a method for casting a sharply defined pattern in a matrix even though the supporting surface for the pattern mold and the mold itself are not perfectly level.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a method for texturing a fiberboard surface at the wet end of the fiberboard manufacturing process.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a matrix and a method for repeatably reproducing a texture on fiberboard with high fidelity to the designer's pattern.
In accordance with these objects, one aspect of this invention is a method for making a pattern embossing matrix for a bas-relief pattern, said method comprising generating a pattern whose lowest points lie in a substantially flat plane, casting a female mold of said pattern, thereby causing the highest points of the mold to lie in the same substantially flat plane, casting a liquid resin onto the mold, submerging a perforated plate in said resin to a plane spaced apart from but parallel to said substantially flat plane, curing said resin, shaving excess resin from the face of said plate, lifting said plate from the cured resin, and removing the resulting matrix from the mold.
Piercing the matrix with a punch or a drill bit to form a plurality of holes prepares the matrix for use in the wetend texturing of fiberboard under a suction press roll. The shaving off of resin protruding through the perforations of the plate creates a multitude of studs on the bottom side of the pattern matrix. Because of the plate's placement in said flat plane, the ends of the studs are substantially equidistant from the sheet-like matrix.
For the purposes of this invention, a substantially flat plane is one that diverges no more than about 1 inch from the true horizontal as the plane traverses a 12 foot expanse. A very slight, gradual curvature is permissible.
The invention, in its various aspects, will be understood more clearly by reference to the accompanying drawings, a brief description thereof, and a detailed discussion of the invention as a whole.
FIG. 1 is a cross section of the matrix as it is being cast from a female mold of the pattern.
FIG.2 is a cross section of another embodiment of the matrix of this invention.
FIG. 3 is a plan view, partially cut away, of the suction press roll section of a fiberboard machine showing the pattern matrix in place.
FIG. 4 is a cross section of a master pattern matrix as it is being cast by a modified method of this invention.
FIG. 5 is a cross section of the matrix of FIG. 2 as it is being cast from a female mold of the pattern.
IN FIG. 1, the female mold 10 of the pattern has a body portion 11 and side rails 12, 13, 14, and 15. The body portion 11 is characterized by ridges 16 and valleys 17, the highest of the ridges 16 all lying in the same horizontal plane 18. Liquid resin 19 lies in the valleys 17 and over the ridges 16. Layers 20 and 21 of glass fiber fabric are immersed in the resin 19 and a perforated metal plate 22 is submerged in said resin. The plane in which the plate 22 lies is parallel to the horizontal plane 18. A grid of steel bars 23 and steel rods 24 rests upon the plate 22 between the perforations 25 and supports a uniformly distributed load of from about 0.5 p.s.i. to about 1.5 p.s.i.
In FIG. 2, the matrix 30 has a bottom shiplap 31 and a top shiplap 32 so that when the matrix is wrapped around a suction press roll the longitudinally opposite ends overlap and may be joined by a resin-saturated strip of glass fiber fabric of appropriate thickness or by some other suitable means. The studs 33 are the portions of resin which project through the perforations 25 of the plate 22 in FIG. 1. The notches 34 and the peaks 35 are the male counterparts of the ridges and valleys of the female mold. There are four layers 36, 37, 38, and 39 of glass fabric laminated with the resin in the matrix 30. A plurality of holes 40 have been pierced in the matrix 30 to serve in conjunction with the channels 42 between the studs 33 as passageways for water and air sucked out of the fibrous slurry when the matrix 30 is mounted on a suction press roll and put into use for wetend texturing of fiberboard.
Casting of the pattern matrix of this invention is accomplished preferably by covering the ridges 16 with a resin and allowing it to cure partially to the state at which it will hold a peak. A layer of glass fabric or other reinforcing fiber is then laid on the resin and additional liquid resin is added to saturate the fabric. Lamination is continued until the desired thickness is achieved, the final layer being resin. A perforated plate 22, having a thickness of about 50 mils, is laid on the surface of the liquid resin and is weighted down by placing a grid of uniformly spaced-apart bars 23 and rods 24 on the plate 22 so that a uniformly distributed load of from about 0.5 to about 1.5 pounds per square inch bears down on the plate. If necessary, several 5 gallon pails of water or a water-filled bladder such as a water mattress may be set on the grid to attain the proper load. When the resin has cured, the load is removed and excess resin is shaved away from the surface of the plate. The plate is lifted away from the laminated matrix sheet and the matrix sheet is removed from the female mold 10. A multitude of studs 33, dependent from the sheet, are thus created by the perforated plate 22. The uniform load distribution causes the plate to rest parallel to the plane 18 and, in turn, causes the studs 33 to be of uniform thickness. Typically, the variation in the distance between the distal ends of the studs and the sheet from which they depend is no more than ±2 mils. The overall thickness of the matrix sheet, inclusive of the stud but not of the pattern, is about 100 mils. About 50% of the area of the bottom, or press roll side, of the matrix sheet is occupied by the studs. There may be from about 100 to about 2000 studs per square foot of the matrix sheet, depending upon the size and shape of the studs.
The formation of the shiplaps 31 and 32 of the matrix 30 (FIG. 2) is accomplished in much the same fashion as described above with reference to FIG. 1 but the side rails 12, 13, 14 and 15 are replaced by side rails 113, 114, 115 and a shim 116, as shown in FIG. 5. After the first layer of resin and the fiber glass layer 36 have been placed on the mold 10, the shim 116 is put into place and layers 37, 38, and 39 of fiber glass fabric are alternated with resin until the desired thickness is obtained. The plate 22 and the bars 23 and rods 24 are placed as shown. The side rails 113, 114, and 115, like rails 12, 13, 14 and 15 in FIG. 1, form two walls of a dam around the mold 10; two other walls are, of course, needed to complete the dam but their placement is deemed to be well within the skill of the art and are not shown.
The casting resin may be, for example, an epoxy, a polyurethane, or a polyester. A two-part epoxy resin having a very low viscosity before curing is preferred so that the highly detailed patterns on the female mold may be reproduced faithfully. The preferred resin is one that has a long open time and, when cured, is flexible, tough, and has a high impact strength.
In FIG. 3, the machine direction of the fiberboard machine 50 is shown by the arrow MD. The penultimate suction press roll 51 has a multitude of perforations 52 around its circumference and a vacuum slice 53 in position at the nip between the roll 51 and the fibrous slurry 54 which is contained on the bottom Fourdrinier screen 55 by the side rails 56 and 57. A top screen 58 is looped around the roll 51 and the suction press rolls 59 and 60 which precede it so that the screen 58 is in contact with the slurry 54. The rolls 51, 59, and 60 are driven by conventional power train means not shown. Conventional vacuum line connections are also used but not shown.
The texturing press roll 61 is a perforated cylinder, also, and it has a vacuum slice 62 which is slidably mounted within the roll so that the vacuum is always available at the nip between the roll 61 and the slurry 54. The matrix, with or without the shiplaps, may be applied to the press roll 61 by coating the ends of the studs 33 with an adhesive, being careful not to close the holes 40, cradling the matrix in a sheet-like stretcher, wrapping the matrix and stretcher around the roll and drawing the stretcher ends together to close the seam between the opposite ends of the matrix. When the shiplaps 31 and 32 are cast into the matrix, the overlapping portions are joined by a curable resin-saturated strip of glass fabric or by a layer of a hot melt adhesive. The shiplap 32 may have heating wires 44 embedded therein so that when an electric current is passed through them, a hot melt adhesive melts for easy attachment or detachment of the matrix from the roll.
The holes 40 in the matrix 30 communicate with the vacuum slice 62 either directly if they happen to be aligned with a perforation in the roll 61 or through channels 42 afforded by the spaces between the studs 33. By this means, water in the slurry 54 is drawn out of the slurry through the holes 40, around the studs 33, through the perforated cylinder of the roll 61 and into the vacuum slice 62. At the same time, the solids in the slurry 54 are compacted against the pattern of the matrix by a combination of the pressure exerted by the weight of the roll 61 and the atmospheric pressure working against the partial vacuum within the slice 62. A texture having high fidelity to the original pattern is thus imparted to the fiberboard mat 63 while it is still quite wet. After texturing, the mat is cut to the desired dimensions and dried in a kiln according to conventional practices.
The fiberboard preferably is made from an aqueous slurry of mineral fibers such as, for example, those made by the fiberization of molten rock or blast furnace slag. For a lightweight fiberboard, it is preferable that the slurry also contain expanded perlite (2-4 lbs./cu. ft.) and a cellulosic gel such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,379,609. Expanded perlite is a preferred component of the slurry because it also imparts better packing properties to the slurry and thus improves the conformability of the mat to the pattern.
As it emerges from the headbox, the slurry is made up of about 95% water and 5% solids. Free draining and forced draining over the suction boxes of the Fourdrinier machine lowers the water content to about 80% when the slurry reaches the suction press section. As the slurry arrives at the texturing press roll 61, the solids content is typically from about 20% to about 25% by weight, but it may range from about 10% to about 35%. As it leaves from under the roll 61, the textured mat has a solids content ranging from about 30% to about 40% by weight.
The roll pressure in the suction press roll section is about 20 p.s.i. The pressure in the vacuum slices is about 10 p.s.i.
In FIG. 4, a positive or male mold 70 of the pattern has its lowest points 71 lying in a substantially flat plane while its peaks 72 are of irregular and random height. The mold 70 may be tooled from a metal, plastic or any suitable material. The spacers 73, likewise of metal, plastic or the like, are of uniform height and function as thickness control spacers in that they support the layers 74 and 75 of glass fabric in a plane which, for all practical purposes, is parallel to the plane in which the points 71 lie. A curable liquid resin 76 surrounds the spacers 73 and saturates the glass fabric layers 74 and 75. A layer of the resin 76 lies above the fabric layer 75 and a perforated plate 22 is submerged in the resin 76 and held in a plane parallel to the plane in which points 71 lie by a grid of steel bars 23 and steel rods 24 which uniformly distribute a load of from about 0.5 to about 1.5 pounds per square inch over the area of the plate 22. The top layer of resin 76 rises through the perforations 25.
Again, as in the casting method associated with the mold of FIG. 1, the first layer of resin is partially cured before the first layer 74 of glass fabric is placed above the spacers 73. When the whole body of resin has been cured, the excess is shaved from the surface of the plate 22, the plate is removed from the matrix, and the matrix is lifted from the positive mold 70. The spacers 73, unlike all of the other molding implements used in this invention, are not coated with a mold release agent and, therefore, remain as a part of the cast matrix. In this manner, a master female matrix of a size sufficient for the casting of a press roll matrix may be cast from an array of smaller positive molds set side-by-side in a suitable frame. The weight of such a master matrix, despite its size, is small so that the matrix is moved about easily when rolled up.
It is contemplated that various modifications of the invention thus described and illustrated may be made while remaining within the scope of the appended claims.

Tunneling means providing a secure path through an untrusted network. SSH Tunneling is an encrypted tunnel created using the SSH protocol connection. SSH Tunnels also allow users to bypass Firewalls.
For those who are new to this concept, according to Wikipedia,
To set up an SSH tunnel, one configures an SSH client to forward a specified local port to a port on the remote machine. Once the SSH tunnel has been established, the user can connect to the specified local port to access the network service. The local port need not have the same port number as the remote port.
In layman’s term it means Secure Port Forwarding. So why is it needed? In some cases when the WiFi is not secure, others can possibly read the data that is being transferred over it. I have illustrated a diagram below to explain how SSH Tunneling works.
People use SSH Tunneling to connect to their emails securely, others use it to transfer data to and from one server to their local computer. I hope it has cleared your concept, most people after hearing about SSH Tunneling or Port Forwarding get scared. But in fact it is very easy to setup once you get the idea of how it works. Enjoy!

Uh, hi guys..
Dear white paint,
Fuck you, fuck you big time.
- Sincerely, extremely pissed off cosplayer.
Okay... deep breaths... deep breaths...
So, remember that white base paint I mentioned earlier? Yeah, I've never used it before and I didn't know what it was like and OH MY *beep* GOD I HATE IT WITH A PASSION NOW. Seriously, it's sticky as fuck, it takes forever to dry (and hair dryers doesn't help), smells like crap and is impossible to wash away no matter if you use soap three times and scrub it with a harsh brush. I tried to get it off my own hands... and it just smears the more I try to get it off! And it killed my good paintbrush, I had to throw it away because the paint wouldn't come off and I got pissed off because the more I tried to clean it the more it bled over on my hands and made them look like I'm a friggin' Moomin troll, agrhsgdfhs!!! I've never worked with a paint that made me this frustrated before. Okay, so this paint sticks like a bitch to everything, every fucking loose hair strand and every fucking surface it even touches for less than a second. I even got some on this high leather stool that I've been sitting on and it won't come off no matter what I do, yeah, mom will kill me...
I want to scream and piss on that paint or something, I hate it so much there's not enough words and I'm never ever touching it ever again. NEVER. 8C
Oh, and this is what the base for Gin's sword and tsuba look like at the moment... yes, I had to put them in the washbowl to dry...
|I hate you paint. :C|
Smell ya later!

Five-star Chesham United put paid to Saffron Walden Town’s FA Cup aspirations
PUBLISHED: 18:52 03 September 2016 | UPDATED: 14:17 07 September 2016
Saffron Walden Town’s FA Cup run came to an end at the first round qualifying round stage as they were beaten 5-0 by Southern League Premier side Chesham United at the Meadow this afternoon (Saturday).
With two divisions separating the sides, the Bloods were understandably under the cosh for much of the cup tie and Dave Pearce’s 39th minute opener for the hosts – an 18-yard curler that left Town keeper Lee Pacey clawing at thin air – was scant reward for a domineering display.
Town needed a good start to the second half to maintain their interest in this year’s competition but Brad Wadkins’ quick-fire headed double gave Chesham, who lost to League One Bradford City in the second round proper back in 2015, a commanding lead with an hour on the clock.
Pearce hit the right note for his second, and the home side’s fourth, in the 70th minute, pouncing on a stray ball to tap home from a few yards out.
Chesham’s passage was assured with a minute to go as substitute Max Blake lashed beyond Pacey on the angle as the Buckinghamshire side waltzed into second round qualifying.

Over the past nine years, one hotpot fanatic in Nanjing, China has dined 627 times at Haidilao, and has spent over 270,000 yuan (S$50,000) on her meals.
Her love for the hotpot chain recently came to light when she shared a screenshot of her correspondence with the restaurant’s customer service on social media, which revealed how often she patronised them.
Speaking to Yangtze Evening News on Nov 20, the 32-year-old hotel manager described herself as a foodie.
“I can’t cook, and I don’t have any other hobbies. I don’t care about fashion or put on make-up… I just like to eat,” she explained, adding that the only “costly” restaurant she goes to is Haidilao.
Kong said she became “insatiable” after her first taste of hotpot there, remarking that she felt the ingredients were fresh and tasty.
Since then, she developed an addiction to hotpot, and once visited Haidilao 12 times in a week, reported Chinese media.
Kong also shared that she has dined at 78 outlets across 20 cities in China and holds a Black Sea membership — the highest tier at Haidilao.
Aside from her love for the food, Kong said the restaurant chain’s remarkable customer service is why she keeps eating there, reported the South China Morning Post.
According to Kong, she once visited a Haidilao outlet in Shanxi while on a business trip. Afraid that she wouldn’t be able to wake up for her early flight if she slept in her hotel room, Kong asked a service staff if she could sleep in the restaurant instead.
The staff obliged, and even provided Kong with a pillow and blanket, which made her feel touched by their hospitality.
Malaysian man eats at Haidilao 754 times in three years
Kong told Yangtze Evening News that her family is aware of her penchant for hotpot, but doesn’t know how often she dines there.
The woman even has a hotpot ‘buddy’, who has eaten with her at Haidilao for over 100 times.
And it appears that the Chinese woman is not the only avid fan of the hotpot chain.
In Malaysia, another Haidilao enthusiast has dined at the hotpot chain 754 times in three years, according to Sin Chew Daily.
The diner said he ate at Haidilao 10 times in two weeks, and even had meals at the restaurant for consecutive days.
Limit hotpots to once or twice a month: Nutritionists
Hotpot may be tasty but the frequent consumption of the dish is not healthy.
Kong shared that she gained 13.5kg from regularly consuming hotpot and milk tea.
However, she’s had to cut down on the frequency of her hotpot meals due to health reasons.
“For the past few years, the results of my health examinations have not been as good as before,” she admitted.
“I used to eat it two or three times a week without getting tired of it, but now I only eat it once a week.”
Nutritionists recommend limiting eating hotpot to “once or twice a month”, especially for steamboats with spicy broths and ingredients high in fat and sodium.
A typical hotpot broth has more than 7000mg of sodium per serving, which exceeds an adult’s recommended daily allowance of 2,000mg.
Overindulgence in high-fat food can lead to weight gain and chronic conditions such as heart disease, and frequently consuming salty items in large quantities increases the risk of high blood pressure and kidney problems.

When we are experiencing difficult times, they can give us positive inspiration not to be down and to see beauty in life. Quotes such as Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it (Rumi) motivate us to think about ourselves and teach us about the true meaning of love. Also there are quotes about love that consist of memorable words of wisdom.
The CD is loaded with features like a complete album from 1975 that never made it to the stores, Cashs Gospel Singer project that is now out-of-print, studio outtakes and collaborations with his great love, June Carter Cash, oldest daughter Rosanne Cash and others performers.

Expression of love is important in every relationship. Many relationships dont go a long way because both of the partners dont express their love as much as they should. So it is better to give flowers with a note saying The best thing to hold onto in life is each other (Audrey Hepburn) or a gift basket or a chocolate with a quote True love stories never have endings (Richard Bach) than to let that happen.
There are times when we find it extremely difficult to express our love in our own words. In these situations love quotations are truly very useful. They can make you romantic if you are not one. They help us impress loved ones and make them feel special, write Valentines Day card and show our true love and affection in the best possible way. They are known to bring a smile on the face of the person reading it.
Music is an important part of everyones life. It cheers us up when we are sad. It inspires us when we are feeling blue. It kicks out the dullness and boredom far out of our life. As author Berthold Auerbach has observed, Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Government to leverage technology to transform the economy – Minister
The Minister of Communication and Digitalisation, Mrs Ursula Owusu Ekkuful, has said that in an attempt to transform the Ghanaian economy for it to be more competitive, the government of Ghana is willing to leverage technology to accelerate its efforts.
She said technology is the surest way to transform the economy since it makes businesses effective thereby contributing to the nation’s development.
“This global movement, which is evolving in the global digital economy, is transforming the way we live and work throughout the world. Governments all over the world have placed priority on transforming their economies and countries into more digitally advanced ones to reap the benefit and gains associated with it. Ghana cannot afford to be left out.”
She made this statement at the ‘Obaatanpa’ programme, which was a digital transformation workshop for government ministries and is organised through GhanaCares.
She noted that communal efforts were needed hence the workshop, so they can together develop ways of maximising the benefits to be derived from the advancements made in technology so far, especially in this post-covid economy.
She further said the key component of the GhanaCARES programme is its digital transformation agenda and as such government will try as much as possible to sustain investments and developments of communications infrastructure, integrate and leverage data systems and platforms, enhance the capacity of key institutions and improve coordination with the private sector for improved service delivery, business expansion and economic transformation.
“We intend to invest, consolidate, strengthen and expand the national fibre network in order to expand and improve network connectivity. As a country, we must build on our assets that are scattered in various organisations to derive maximum benefit from them.”
The Minister said the government will continue to promote and increase the digital literacy of Ghanaians so as to give the needed support to Ghanaian technology entrepreneurs as they build technological hubs and also export IT-enabled services.
“These are carefully selected interventions to aid the digital transformation process of the country. This is because digital transformation is not a destination but a journey that is long and challenging but it must happen at an increasing pace.”
She said the government is ready to partner with the private sector and the general public to establish certain foundational elements to ensure quick delivery of the much-needed transformation of the economy.
“This workshop is, therefore, a crucial first step towards ensuring that the right building blocks are put in place. Getting people with the right mindset and support will ensure that we expedite action on the digital transformation.”
She also said participants nominated for this workshop will be the digital transformation leads, who will then become the leads to engage with the various Ministries and work with them to execute the various initiatives.
“Participants are expected to set up a team within their Ministries and share the knowledge with them, institutionalize this exercise at their workplaces, make it part of their everyday work to keep track of their assets and help build an interoperable system linked up into each other.”
Mr Kussum Appiah, Head of GhanaCARES Delivery Unit, MOCD, said the GIDT Blueprint was a roadmap for digital transformation, which identified the building blocks for the digital transformation agenda.
He said to accelerate the rate of digital transformation, some priorities of the government, including improving internet connectivity, increasing digital literacy, supporting entrepreneurship and expediting government digital initiatives.
“Through these priorities, a lot of interventions and targets have been put in place by the government, including digital assets and service register, digital readiness assessment, expedite and consolidate ongoing public projects.”
Other interventions include fibre assets consolidation, establishing regional digital centres and a common national digital architecture and implementing the GIDT.

Rape prosecutions have fallen to their lowest level in a decade despite record numbers of allegations to police, new figures reveal.
There were 58,657 complaints in the year to March, but just 1,925 of those resulted in a successful prosecution.
Several women’s groups said they were ‘hugely disappointed’ in the HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) report on the actions of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The Attorney General ordered the inspection to investigate why successful prosecutions had dropped by 52 per cent even though the number of rape allegations reported to police rose by 43 per cent, and to determine whether the CPS was to blame.
Rape prosecutions in England and Wales have fallen to their lowest level since 2008, despite record numbers of complaints reported to police, with around 3.3 per cent of all reported rapes ending in a conviction.
That number is down from 4.8 per cent the previous year, and 7.2 per cent the year before that.
Having looked at around 900 rape cases – including those which resulted in a charge or no further action and those sent back to police for further investigation – HMCPSI said the drop in charges was of ‘serious concern’, but said the reasons behind it were ‘not straightforward’.
Chief Inspector Kevin McGinty said: ‘The CPS has been accused of only choosing easy cases to prosecute, but we found no evidence of that in our report.
‘While the CPS needs to improve the way it works with the police, the CPS is only a small part of a larger systemic problem in the criminal justice process in dealing with complex cases.’
The findings noted both police and the CPS had seen ‘significant reductions in their resources’ while cases had become ‘more complex’ because more evidence is on digital devices such as mobile phones and social media which can take longer to process.
The End Violence Against Women Coalition, Rape Crisis England and Wales and the Centre for Women’s Justice said they were ‘alarmed’ by the findings and accused the inspection of not being fully independent.
Katie Russell, of Rape Crisis England and Wales, said it was ‘self-evident that CPS practice needs urgent reform’.
She added: ‘The CPS must demonstrate some accountability if progress is to be made towards achieving justice for victims and survivors.
‘Their apparent lack of interest in taking the opportunity to meaningfully address this problem is astonishing.’
Sarah Green, director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said the report was ‘profoundly disappointing in many ways’ and ‘betrays a huge lack of curiosity as to what, then, the problem must be’.
‘Rape is a difficult crime to evidence and prosecute – no-one has said otherwise – but it is also an enormous volume crime and it does enormous harm. It cannot remain a mystery or in the “too difficult box”.’
Harriet Wistrich, director for the Centre for Women’s Justice, echoed concerns over the lack of independence of the review, branding it an ‘insufficient inquiry’ and ‘altogether a wasted opportunity to shine a light on this crisis’.
The CPS said it accepts all the recommendations and it was working with the police to ‘build the strongest possible cases from the outset, and bringing them before the court as quickly as possible’.
Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC said: ‘The CPS is committed to doing everything in our power, along with our partners, to improve our response.’
He said he was ‘reassured’ the report ‘found no evidence that the CPS has become risk averse when deciding whether to charge these cases’, adding: ‘I share the deep public concern over the growing gap between the number of rapes being reported and the number of criminals being convicted of this sickening offence.’
No further action taken in thousands of rape cases over the last three years
No further action was taken in thousands of rape cases reported to police and referred to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) over the last three years, according to figures published in the report.
– Year to March 2017 – Rapes recorded by police: 41,150; Total rape cases referred to CPS by police: 4,595; Charged: 3,671; Convictions: 2,991; Sent back to police for further investigation: 761; No further action: 2,145.
– Year to March 2018 – Rapes recorded by police: 53,977; Total rape cases referred to CPS by police: 4,370; Charged: 2,822; Convictions: 2,635; Sent back to police for further investigation: 1,307; No further action: 1,851.
– Year to March 2019 – Rapes recorded by police: 58,657; Total rape cases referred to CPS by police: 3,375; Charged: 1,758; Convictions: 1,925; Sent back to police for further investigation: 1,465; No further action: 1,876.
