Alongside zine and toy making Geoff teaches illustration and has participated in our current exhibition ‘Talking Toys’ where the In-Heritage Group of the UAL responds to antique and vintage toys from Pollocks.
Chiara: Hey Geoff, thanks for dedicating us some time to chat about zines in light of Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop’s campaign! First of all, would you like to tell us more about your relationship to zine-making? How did you discover and develop an interest in the practice in the first place?
Geoff: My first love art-wise is comics, and there is a close relationship between comics and zine-making. Comics usually are much harder work, and for me need a lot more planning. So sometimes a zine is what is called for when a looser, quicker mode of small-booklet creation is needed. A zine can be about anything, and sorta done in any way you please, so the stakes are low, as nobody is expecting a really high production standard. That means that you can be liberated to make and let things come together in a more intuitive, organic manner. Zines are the book construction analogue of improvised music, and thus, making zines can be free and secure within certain comforting parameters.
Chiara: Regarding your own work, what kinds of zines have you focused on throughout your career?
- Exploring themes: zines that are about a specific thing I like – I dunno – The Film Repo man/Haircuts in Barcelona/A trip from Berlin to Sachsenhausen/Oakwood in North London, etc.
- Group projects: A bunch of zinesters can make a zine in a very, very short time. Many hands making light work. But the work of making a group zine in a short time can also be very satisfying.
- Mini Comics: A good place to put small comics or silly comics or fragments of comics that otherwise would not be used in a “Proper Comic”.
- Chucking stuff together: Like the zine is just a receptacle of random stuff. Sometimes it can be really liberating to “not give a stuff”. Sometimes these “receptacle” zines are really good, it depends on what the zinemaker has to work with, though!
- Zines that were fun in the moment but don’t stand up now, or are only relevant at that particular time: I did a zine workshop just at the start of Covid with around four others who turned up at the Pelican in Peckham, before we really knew what was going on. Looking back at it now, it seems sorta quaint and naïve, and a bit inaccurate. But that’s OK! A zine can be an encapsulation of a moment! That zine was not even printed out, it was transmitted in germ-free digital form.
Chiara: While researching the topic, I have noticed how most sources consider zine-making a practice approximately originating in the early 20th century USA. What do you think about this, given how “open” the nature of zines is? Is it even possible to precisely pinpoint when and where the first types of zines appeared? I feel as if we could probably think of much earlier examples of handmade booklets than the 1900s.
Geoff: This is my nerd rant on this subject: I think that the statement that zine making is originating in 1920s United States is perhaps contentious. It seems to me difficult to say that when the term ‘fanzine’ was coined by Russ Chauvenet in the October 1940 issue of his fanzine Detours. Also prior to 1940 – from the invention of printmaking onwards (and before that as we should also consider printmaking in places such as South East Asia) – as soon as anyone worked out how to make more than one copy of any book form really cheaply, individuals and/or groups have been making zine-like book-forms that delivered a group/personal impression of the world and how they see it for a myriad of personal, fun, cultural, political, practical, disseminative reasons. These are just a few of them: broadsides, penny dreadfuls, pamphlets, scrapbooks, samizdat, school/prison/church/club/political activist small magazines and newsheets, Dada and Futurist manifestos, etc. Yes, we can say that, at a certain point, making small enthusiast-books was recognised as ‘zines’. But it kinda just gave a name to something that had been going on from the first days of printmaking, whenever that was. Ancient China probably. Also, what folks call zine-making nowadays has expanded to encompass all sorts of territory that the original term ‘zine’ was not working within. It’s now an umbrella term for small press booklet or therapeutic bookwork or whatever you wish to do in a small booklet that has a limited edition of copies.
Chiara: Zines have always played a fundamental role in history within subcultures and underrepresented groups: what do you think makes zines so accessible?
Geoff: Making zines is accessible, but accessing specific zines is often not so easy, as they are limited edition, or perhaps part of sub-cultural activities that may be difficult to notice outside of said sub-cult. That is where zine distribution services (mail/order/and now the internet) come into play. My friend and ex-student Peter Willis has a great shop called BOOKS PECKHAM he is an authority on this subject. They will soon be a Doctor (Phd) of zines.
But in terms of zine making being easy to access as an activity:
- Necessity: Sometimes you just feel like you “have to” make a zine. This is exciting and helps the work flow.
- Time: Zines are quick to make when you are motivated by excitement or momentum of a deadline, or a group impetus. Books or really involved comics are a bigger chunk of work and take longer to process, create and check and print properly.
- Need to be “seen”: If you are just starting out as an artist, it can be difficult to find “your audience” and it’s easy to feel like there is no place for your tiny voice. Making zines, giving them out, selling them cheap – or stickering/graffiti (don’t do anything illegal, folks!). All this can help you feel like you are part of the world, of a scene, of a city, of an online community, etc.
- Need to find a voice and communicate: Often groups or individuals have important subjects to discuss about or ideas to voice, whether political, spiritual, rhetorical, fringe or otherwise. Zines are good to help “the small people” have their say! This goes back to the days of broadsides/pamphlets/samizdat. Sometimes stuff just gotta be said.
Chiara: As a teacher, what advice would you give people who do not consider themselves “good enough” to get started with zine-making? How would you help them “break the ice” with it?
Geoff: This is kind of a funny question, because zine making has always been the welcoming space where zero skill is required, and often too much skill can be just embarrassing or surplus to requirements. Zinery is something that everyone can do and it sorta doesn’t matter if you are “good” or not. Zinery has always been for the lowest of the low and the most marginalised of non-artist-artists. So the bar to making zines should be non-existent. However, my advice would be to: Decide on a small mission, Play, Be simple, Make simple rules for yourself and follow them.
- Play: make a bunch of random drawings or collages or take random photos or write “from you under-mind” just muck about (but try and work quite hard at playing at the same time , be in a “flow state” if you can manage it. Then look at them again a few days later and say to yourself- what are these about? Then do some more. If you allow yourself, a theme will emerge that can form a zine.
- Be Simple- don’t try and make a cathedral when a wooden shed is all that is required. It’s only a zine. A zine can be 2 pages or 24 or more. Zines don’t need to be much longer than that. Also zines are usually black and white. So colour is another thing you don’t need to worry about.
- Set rules- Setting the page count/The size/The format/ The print process/ Whether there is colour or not, whether its collage / whether its all drawn with one pen/ whether mistakes are left in or not/ all these things help make things simple and start to form the zine, and when its fully formed, its done!
- Decide on a mission- Set a simple theme – for example “12 Flowers/ One day in London told only through drawing training shoes/ Seven deadly sins/ What I saw in Lidl today/ Why I hate Boris Johnson/ Why homeless people need help/ “ these are zine themes that kinda construct themselves.
Chiara: What are some of your favourite zines out there and why?
Geoff: Every year some students make great zines at the place I teach, I have hundreds of them:
- Donald Parsnips Daily Journal by Adam Dant. He did a zine almost every day for a year! Funny! Clever!
- Melonfarmer: A series of zines made in collaboration with my son Orson from about 5 years old onwards. He taught me a lot.
- Orson’s Crunchy Bat zine: Zines are such a personal form, so much about community. I love it when Orson makes zines and stuff now, as I get all the little inside jokes and references. How many books do you have where you know the author that well!? Zines rule!
- Juggling: I have a zine made by a student from about 13 years ago, and it’s so full of joy and so simple. A character stands in the middle of each page, and they are just juggling a series of brightly coloured balls from one hand to another. So simple, such joy!
- SELOLT (South East London Out & About): I picked this up at a London venue, it’s about local bands and people and made with such idiosyncrasy and charm. You can tell they really care about what they are doing, but the aesthetic is personally derived, it’s real and fun and genuine, and a bit cheeky. Lovely. It features an illustration by a local student, Silva ‘Trickey’ Brindle.
- I also like zines that you find, where you have no idea what they are really about. They may be in a language that you don’t understand, but they just have an undefinable feeling or aesthetic or atmosphere to them.
- Chiara:Is there any aspect you would like to see develop/change within the zine-making world?
Geoff: I want it to stay random and mutant and crazy. And for everyone. Will it continue? Internet means that zines are not as important as they once were. But they are still great!

Mbosi people are a subsection of the Ubangi people who live in the Congo River Basin area. Families rely on subsistence farming and sell what they do not use. The Mbosi speakers are primarily an oral culture. Younger Mbosi speakers are choosing the national or another regional language. Churches have set up listening clubs focused on oral Bible stories.
The way of life of the Mbosi people is being threatened. The next generation is caught in a flood of technology and the attraction of other communities. Without young people to carry on their culture, way of life and language, the Mbosi people are tottering on the edge of extinction with no hope of recovery until now.
Heart language Scripture will not only preserve the heritage of the Mbosi people, but it will also redefine Christianity. Many believers find themselves caught in a syncretism belief system between two distinct faiths — Christianity and traditional religion.
Traditional beliefs speak the language and define the culture. Most of the people embrace its tenets. Christians struggle to understand God's Word, creating a crisis of faith and a tendency for many to fall back into the familiar embrace of traditional religion.
By focusing on passages from the Old Testament, it is hoped that the people will see the difference between syncretism and Christian faith. Pastors want to see their parishioners truly understand the Word of God and be changed by it.

4 But a messenger came to
But king Alfred had not yet completed his march to attack the enemy, when lo, news is brought that the pagans who inhabited Northumberland and East-Anglia had collected together 240 ships, that some of them in 100 ships had sailed round the south coast of England, and the others in 40 ships round the north coast: that the one party had besieged Exeter, the others a fortress in Devonshire with a large body of men. When the king heard these things, he was not daunted by the rashness of the enemy, but became furious at his men being besieged. Without delay, he recalled all his cavalry, and marched to Exeter, leaving, however, a small body of men to finish the subjugation of the enemy he was following. These, proceeding to London, with the citizens and others who had come to help them from the western coast of England, advance to Beanflot; for they had heard that the greatest part of the army, which had settled at Apultreo, had gone thither, and that king Haesten had come there with his army from Milton and had there built a fortress, but at that moment they were gone forth to plunder.
For the same king, a short time before, had made peace with King Alfred, and given several hostages, and had moreover at the request of King Alfred, given his two sons to be regenerated in the laver of salvation; one of them was taken from the fountain by King Alfred himself, the other by the noble duke Æthered.
But Haesten, going to Beanflot, quickly made there a fortress, and immediately plundered the lands of Ethered the father of his
A severe battle was therefore fought with the pagans, and the Christians, at the first shock, put them to flight, destroyed their works, and seizing on all they could find, carried with them the women and children to London. Some of the ships they broke to pieces, some they burnt, and carried the rest either to London or Rochester.
They also took the wife and two sons of Haesten, before he came back to Beanflot from plundering, and these they carried to king Ælfred. But he did them no harm, because one of them, as we have said before, was his [GOD] son, the other the [GOD] son of duke Æthered; but he confirmed the peace between them, and having received hostages not only restored the wife and sons of Haesten, at their father's request, but also gave him a

When these were assembled into one body, they pursued the enemy, and overtaking them at Buttington on the bank of the river Severn, laid siege, on both sides of the river, to the fortress in which they had taken refuge. Several weeks passed over; some of the pagans died of hunger, some of them, when they had eaten their horses, burst from the fortress and gave battle to those who were on the eastern side of the river, but when many thousands of the pagans had been slain, and all the others were put to flight, the Christians obtained the victory. In this battle the noble Ordeah, and many of the king's servants were slain. And when the pagans who fled, returning to East-Saxony, had come to their fortress and their ships, winter now coming on, they again gather a large army out of East-Anglia and Northumberland, and having placed their wives; their money and ships in East-Anglia, and left their fortresses, they march without

And Ordheh a king's-thane was there slain, and also many other king's-thanes were slain; and of the Danish-men there was very great slaughter made; and that part which got away thence was saved by flight.
When they had come into Essex to their fortress and to their ships, then the survivors again gathered a great army from among the East-Angles and the North-humbrians before winter, and committed their wives and their ships and their wealth to the EastAngles, and went at one stretch, day and night, until they arrived at a western city in Wirral, which is called Lega-ceaster.
Then were the forces unable to come up with them before they were within the fortress: nevertheless they beset the fortress about for some two days, and took all the cattle that was there-without, and slew the men whom they were able to overtake without the fortress, and burned all the corn, and with their horses ate it in every evening. And this was about a twelvemonth after they first came hither over sea.
And then soon after that, in

this year, the army from Wirral went among the North-Welsh, for they were unable to stay there: this was because they had been deprived both of the cattle and of the corn which they had plundered.
When they had turned again out of North-Wales with the booty which they had there taken, then went they over North-humbria-land and East-Anglia, in such wise that the forces could not overtake them before they came to the eastern parts of the land of Essex, to an island that is out on the sea, which is called Mersey. And as the army which had beset Exeter again turned homewards, then spoiled they the South-Saxons near Chichester; and the townsmen put them to flight, and slew many hundreds of them, and took some of their ships. Then that same year, bofore winter, the Danish-men who had sat down in Mersey, towed their ships up the Thames, and thence up the Lea. This was about two years after they had come hither over sea.

mentioned army constructed a fortress on the Lea, twenty miles above London, After this, in summer, a great body of the townsmen, and also of other people, went onwards until they arrived at the Danish fortress; and there they were put to flight, and some four king's-thanes were slain. Then after this during harvest, the king encamped near to the town, while the people reaped their corn, so that the Danish-men might not deprive them of the crop. Then on a certain day the king rode up along the river, and observed where the river might be obstructed, so that they would be unable to bring out their ships. And they then did thus: they constructed two fortresses, on the two sides of the river. When they had already begun the work, and had encamped there-beside, then perceived the army that they should not be able to bring out their ships. They then abandoned them, and went across the country till they arrived at Cwatbridge by the Severn; and there they constructed a fortress. Then the forces rode westwards after the army and the men of London took possession of the ships; and all which they could not bring away they broke up and those which there were stalworth' they brought to London: moreover the Danish-men had committed their wives to the keeping of the East-Angles before they went out from their fortress. Then sat they down for the winter at Cwatbridge. This was about three years after they had come hither over sea to Limene-mouth.

Mandi Sagal Speaks Her Truth With Powerful New Song ‘One Less Broken Heart’ [EXCLUSIVE]
Rising artist Mandi Sagal dissects the trauma left in the wake of a toxic relationship in her powerful new track "One Less Broken Heart," premiering at The Boot today (Jan. 20).
In what she calls the most "important, authentic and vulnerable song I've ever written," Sagal gives a raw testimonial that shines a critical light on a myriad of painful experiences from her past.
"I was in an abusive relationship for ten years. It started when I was 16 and ended when I was 26," Sagal says. "I have experienced abuse in all of the ways one could; physical, emotional, sexual, and financial. After the relationship ended, I entered trauma therapy. In trauma therapy, I basically re-lived every terrible thing that happened to me, such as what I saw, smelled, tasted, heard, felt, etc. I went straight from one of these very difficult therapy sessions to a co-write with my buddy Brad Sample."
As she shifted her focus from that intensive emotional work to a creative collaboration with Sample, she stopped to process everything that had led her to that moment.
"I was telling him about the session I was just in and how I had the realization that if my abuser would have gone to therapy and dealt with his s---, I probably wouldn't be in therapy myself. The song just poured out of us in 30 minutes."
The result is "One Less Broken Heart," a powerful examination of the abuses she endured. Through well-crafted lyrics and soft, sparse accompaniment, Sagal's songwriting candor stands as an act of immense strength. By sharing her own story through song, the Wisconsin native sends a message to anyone struggling to break free from an abusive bond.
"I have never talked publicly about what I went through, and am not looking for pity. I wrote this song from a place of deep pain," she explains. "Everyone's life has a story, and sometimes that story is challenging and tough, and this happens to be mine. The goal of sharing my music is to connect with people, and if this song resonates with one person, then I have done my job as a songwriter."
Since moving to Nashville from her hometown of Green Bay ten years ago, Sagal has continued to hone her craft as a songwriter and solo artist. "One Less Broken Heart" follows a string of impressive singles released in 2022, including "Rose Colored Glasses" and "Could Be."

One of the fears associated with going to the dentist is that the dentist will end up pulling one or more teeth. This fear often will prevent us from going to the dentist for our regular check ups and cleanings necessary for good oral hygiene. In reality, extractions are relatively rare and in many cases are completely preventable, through early orthodontic treatment and regular dental exams and cleanings.
Although there are many treatments available to save a tooth, extraction is sometimes the only option. Here are some of the reasons when extraction is necessary:
When it is necessary to extract a tooth, you can rest assured that our dentists use the most modern procedure and it is significantly more refined and comfortable than previous techniques. Most of our patients experience very little discomfort. The healing process requires five to seven days, though the majority of the healing is completed after just one day.
Extraction is a last resort, but when necessary, it is important to not delay and avoid other complications. If your dentist or orthodontist has recommended extraction as part of your treatment plan, please contact us to set up an appointment.

The Anecdote Gap
U.S. Senator Jerry Moran opened the Kauffman Foundation's Annual Economic Bloggers Forum with a short video address. And how he did so captured a critical gap between politics and policymaking.
Moran told the story of Asaf Darash, an Israeli entrepreneur who wanted to found a tech startup in the United States. When the entrepreneur did not receive a visa, Moran said, he was forced to relocate his business and his jobs to Israel. The story of this entrepreneur makes the case for high-skilled immigration reform, he said.
It was in many ways a conventional story -- the kind one hears in political debate on a daily basis. Personal anecdote substitutes for policy, for data, for cross-sectional evidence. President Barack Obama, for example, closed his most recent State of the Union with several profiles of Americans whose lives would be improved by his proposed agenda.
Moran urged writers to use the power of anecdote to fuel policy discussion. Anecdote, Moran said, has a unique visceral influence over politicians and media. Data does not. (A video is not yet available.)
Whatever the opposite of speaking to the choir is, that is what Moran was doing this morning. Data, not anecdote, drives conversation among econbloggers. Much of the community emerged explicitly as an alternative to traditional, anecdote-driven political dialogue.
Moran's comments, in fact, speak to a larger problem in politics in general, and a significant obstacle to policymaking today: When Washington can't tell a story about something, it ignores it. Data alone doesn't make good politics.
This warps the policy debate in very real ways. First, anecdote can be entirely wrong. Many American workers are convinced that immigrants displace them from low-wage work. The data show rather conclusively, however, that domestic and foreign workers are complements in the labor market, not substitutes. These misperceptions have an awful tendency of making their way into public policy.
But there's a more subtle, more problematic pathway by which the political lurch to anecdote undermines the opportunity for better public policy. Many of the nation's problems simply don't make good stories -- or they can't be put into narrative form at all.
How, for example, would you give an anecdote about how the mortgage-interest deduction creates inefficient distortions in shelter spending or fixed investment? A politician can't hold up the life story of Joe Urban and talk about all the ways he would have been better off in a counterfactual.
Just because public policy topics might be boring, dry, or unsuited to anecdote doesn't make them unimportant. But it does make them go unaddressed.

In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Gy6 Engine. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated.

President Biden’s dream of enforcing vaccine mandates nationwide has hit a major roadblock as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has slammed the Biden administration with a lawsuit.
President Biden is pushing a federal vaccine mandate for companies with over 100 employees. Unfortunately for Biden, the constitutional hurdles that are in his way are significant and could shut his plan down before it ever leaves the ground.
Attorney General Paxton took to Twitter to say, “Biden’s new vaccine mandate on private businesses is a breathtaking abuse of power. OSHA has only limited power & specific responsibilities. This latest move goes way outside those bounds. This ‘standard’ is flatly unconstitutional. I’m asking the Court to strike it down.”
President Biden has made it clear that he would rather spend his time and energy on crushing American freedoms instead of tackling real problems like inflation.
President Biden’s vaccine mandates are threatening to worsen the worker shortage that has created significant economic disruption. It is imperative that Republicans like Paxton put pressure on the Biden administration.
The good news is that eventually, the question of vaccine mandates will make it to the Supreme Court. Once that happens, Biden’s tyrannical dreams will be struck down for good.

A great looking lawn is not only the ideal location for a summer BBQ with family and friends, but it can add value to your home too. This can be easily achieved whilst you sit in your armchair and watch the TV.
How I hear you ask. Well a robotic lawnmower is the ideal solution for those with little free time, or for those that dislike mowing the lawn.
A robotic lawnmower like the Flymo 1200R, cuts the grass little by little each day ensuring a carpet like finish to your lawn. By cutting the grass a little at a time, it promotes thicker grass growth ensuring less space between the blades of grass.
Because a robotic lawnmower only cuts a small amount of grass each time, the grass clippings easily break down and fertilise the lawn. Because grass is rich in nitrogen, this promotes healthy, green grass growth adding to the visual appeal of your lawn.
Installing a robotic lawnmower into your garden is simple too. You can do-it-yourself straight out of the box. Simply lay a boundary wire that defines the area of the lawn you want to cut and a robotic lawnmower will cut the lawn in a random pattern, so whatever the garden shape, all parts are covered.
Day or night, rain or shine robotic lawnmowers will silently cut your lawn giving you the perfect finish every day of the week. Fully programmable, most robotic lawnmowers allow you to set a time and day/s of the week that you prefer the lawnmower to cut. Using their highly sensitive collision sensors, these innovative lawnmowers will avoid fallen debris like tree branches and mole hills etc. whilst still ensuring a perfect finish to your lawn.
Robotic lawnmowers are fitted with lift and tilt sensors that stop the blades from turning the instant the mower is moved from its ordinary working position. They usually come with a manual overwrite button to turn the mower off if you ever need it to.
What are you waiting for!?
Robotic lawnmowers are available to buy in the UK from most good retailers including Argos, Homebase and B&Q. Get the perfect lawn today!
The Flymo 1200R specification;
• Working area: 4002 +/-20%
• Area capacity per hour: 30m2
• Navigation system: random pattern
• Charging system: Automatic
• Cutting height: 20-50mm

DeTrafford owes £50m to No1 Castlefield investors
Failure to pay back a £9.8m loan taken out in 2018 has seen it balloon to £37.3m, while individuals who paid deposits on apartments within the failed 420-home Manchester development are owed a further £13.4m.
DeTrafford sold 331 apartments within the £75m No1 Castlefield scheme off-plan but has failed to deliver a single one, leaving investors and lenders wondering where their money has gone.
A report into the company’s affairs by administrator Interpath Advisory, appointed to DeTrafford No1 Castlefield last month, paints a grim picture for investors, some of whom are owed more than £100,000.
In total, individuals who have paid deposits are £13.4m out of pocket, Interpath’s report states.
A group of investors, whose contributions to the project total £9m across 206 flats, are expected to receive some repayment, subject to asset realisations. How much remains unclear, according to Interpath.
These investors hold UN1s with Land Registry over the Ellesmere Street site, making them secured creditors.
The other individuals who have paid £4m in deposits for the other 125 apartments sold off-plan do not hold UN1s and are ‘highly unlikely’ to get anything, the report states.
While some investors asked for the deposits back due to a lack of progress, the sale of apartments within the scheme continued despite DeTrafford having “no working capital”, according to Interpath.
Interest rates bite
Endless Bridge, the company that lent DeTrafford £9.8m for No1 Castlefield in November 2018, is also hoping for a return on its investment.
The Endless Bridge facility was due to be repaid on or before 21 November 2019.
However, DeTrafford was unable to keep up with repayments and the balance of the loan at the time of Interpath’s appointment is £37.3m, almost four times the original amount, according to the report.
Interpath expects some distribution to be made to Endless Bridge but anticipates a “significant shortfall”.
DeTrafford had attempted to secure additional funding to pay back Endless Bridge and kick start the project but failed to do so, the report states.
Manchester City Council’s planning committee granted planning permission for No1 Castlefield in November 2017, but almost six years on, the site remains undeveloped.
DeTrafford No1 Castlefield’s collapse is the seventh company in director Gary Jackson’s empire to fall.
Most recently, a pair of SPVs that control one of the two proposed blocks that make up the DeTrafford’s 366-home Gallery Gardens scheme in Manchester was placed into administration.
Just a few days before the collapse of Gallery Gardens, the vehicle behind the developer’s completed 166-apartment Sky Gardens was put into administration.
Last August, Place North West revealed that the company behind Wavelength, DeTrafford’s proposed 421-home development at Salford Quays, had gone into administration.
Creditors on this scheme, which has never been built, are owed almost £11m, according to a report by administrator Kroll.
In September, BDO was appointed by lender Maslow as administrator to DeTrafford St Georges Gardens, the vehicle behind the completed 138-apartment development of the same name.
The following month, Maslow once again instructed BDO, this time over DeTrafford City Gardens, the company behind a 109-flat development.
In December, a report by BDO on City Gardens and St George’s Gardens revealed the companies owed a combined £26m to creditors.
The collapse of the Sky Gardens vehicle means the companies behind three of the four completed blocks within the Castlefield masterplan are in administration. Roof Gardens is not in administration.
DeTrafford was contacted for comment.

WBC lightweight champion Humberto Soto (54-7-2, 32 KOs) has begin training in Tijuana, Mexico, with an eye on his next defense. Soto will have a rematch with American Urbano Antillon (28-2, 20KOs) on the May 7 Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Last year they battled to a very exciting twelve round finish. Soto won with very close scores of 115-112, 114-113 and 114-113. Antillon lost a very important point in the fifth round. Had it not been for the point deduction, the fight would have been a majority draw.
This time Soto promised a very clear victory to leave no type of doubt in the ring. He won't allow Antillon to make the fight as close as the first encounter. When Soto entered the Tijuana gym to start, he was with his coach Bobby Quirarte. He trained very hard with a number of exercises and even sparred for three rounds with Tijuana featherweight prospect Omar Estrella.

I know how surprised you would be after receiving this letter from your younger brother, who is the most annoying person for you on this planet. Instead of our silly fights on every issue, which have become the part of everyday life, I could expect your condition at the moment.
I Am So Lucky To Have You In My Life!
I couldn’t imagine how life would be without you. The strictness of mom and dad, the mysterious math questions, the cruel school teachers and the bully street guys, you give me the strength to deal with them!
When You Took The Blame Over You!
I still remember those times when I slammed the door of your room and it fell down, you said that you did it. I still remember when I hit the bonnet of dads’ car and you took the blame over you. I remember the result day of my high school when the Principal called mom to the Parent-Teacher Meeting and you made an excuse about the health issues of mom to receive the report card by yourself.
I Want To Salute Your Patience
I am thankful to you for being patient at the time of driving, I am thankful to you for being patient when I put the kitchen on fire instead of frying an omelet. I am thankful to you for your level of patience when mom scolded you on breaking half a dozen glasses.
I Feel Protective When You’re Around Me!
I know that after this confession, you’d probably mock me, but I don’t care! You are the most integral part of my life, as supportive as hometown! You’re more than a blessing to me, who always keeps himself on my right side.
You Are My Only Savior
Whenever I go out with you I feel fabulously safe and smart, because I know you’d protect me from any harm. I have seen your anger and bad mood when someone says something bad to me. You are the one who defends me in front of my friends.
So thank you big brother for being with me through all the times. I am nothing without you, seriously!
Your little brother

A closely watched indicator of German business executives’ outlooks plunged to its lowest ever level in April as economists struggled to predict just how deep the coronavirus downturn would be in Europe’s largest economy.
The Munich-based Ifo institutes business climate index nosedived to 74.3 points from 85.9 in March. Ifo head Clemens Fuest on Friday described the mood among companies as “catastrophic” and said “the corona crisis is hitting the German economy with full force.”
Economists said it was difficult to chart how big the fall in economic output would be since the situation is unprecedented, with many areas of activity not in a downturn, but simply coming to a full stop due to widespread restrictions on movement, activity and association aimed at stopping the spread of the virus.
Andrew Kenningham, chief Europe economist at Capital Economics, estimated that GDP would slump by 12% quarter on quarter in the second quarter, and by 8% overall this year. A steeper plunge of 18% in the second quarter and 10% for the full year was foreseen by Andreas Rees, chief German economist at UniCredit.
Rees said the situation was not like other economic downturns based on the usual swings of the business cycle, with the result that previous prediction models were less valid and probably understated the true depth of the downturn. “At least some business activities, especially in the services sector, were basically zero. This is not just a ‘normal’ deterioration in a typical cyclical downswing but a crash to historically low and unprecedented levels,” he wrote in an email.
Kenningham wrote in a research note that “the April reading will probably mark the low point given that the government has begun to loosen some of the restrictions this week, albeit only tentatively, with small shops and car showrooms re-opening. But the recovery will be from a very low base.” RGA

In the United States, before 1935, very few workers in the United States worked in jobs covered by pensions. Of those with coverage, many never received any benefits because their benefits were not guaranteed.
The original Social Security Act was passed in 1935. It had two components: a Social Security retirement benefit that applied only to workers and a welfare program for the needy elderly called Old Age Assistance. The welfare program was initially more popular because the benefits were bigger. No Social Security benefits were to be paid until 1942, allowing for a period of partial forward funding. The retirement benefit was initially funded by a 2 percent tax on the first $3000 of payroll earnings,1 percent from employers and 1 percent from workers.
The Social Security system has been reformed many times but it has always sustained the basic concept of social insurance. The income (premium) has come from payroll taxes and benefits have been paid according to benefit formulas.
In 1939, Social Security was amended to include coverage to dependents of workers who died. It was also decided to set the payroll tax income aside in a separate trust fund.
Social Security gained full national commitment in 1950 when it was decided to phase out the Old Age Assistance program and make the Social Security benefit more adequate. Benefits were increased by 77 percent and the payroll tax rate was raised to 6.5 percent on a phased-in basis. This move was partly in response to an expansion in private pensions that were being won by unions in collective bargaining agreements. Such pensions were usually designed as a supplement to Social Security benefits. Employers supported the increase because Social Security was considered cheaper than private pensions, because the payroll tax costs were transferred to workers by lowering...

In regard to your "study examining the effectiveness of regulations governing broker-dealers and investment advisers ... and use of your discretion to impose a legal fiduciary standard on broker-dealers and their registered representatives".
I have 17 years in public and industry accounting and now, 19 years insurance and investment advisor. My record is squeaky clean, as are the records of the vast majority of my peers. A few very visible and unscrupulous agents and advisors can create considerable negative publicity, which hurts all of us in the investment industry. Will additional regulation serve the public interest? My thought is that imposing a fiduciary standard on all registered reps will only create a more litigious environment, drive many good financial professionals out of the business and in effect throw a "wet blanket" over the top of the whole industry.
The public would be better served by simply better enforcement of the regulations that currently exist. I know the level of compliance and oversight that I am subject too on an ongoing basis. I know that it is good for me and good for the industry. If that same level of compliance was applied to "Bernie Madolf" and similar high profile scam artists, their shell games could not have gone on for as long as they did and the damage would have been reduced significantly. I doubt seriously if expanding the fiduciary standards to all broker dealer/registered reps would change this. There will still be the bad apples who will prey on a naive public and create dramatic headlines. There will simply be considerably more money spent on compliance and enforcement ... a whole other level of bureaucracy which places further pressure on an already heavily regulated industry.

Barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.)
Berberidaceae Barberry family
Parts used and where grown: The root and stem bark contain the medicinally active components of barberry. The barberry bush also produces small red berries. Although this particular species is native to Europe, it now also grows throughout North America. A closely related species, Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium), is native to North America.
In what conditions might barberry be supportive?
Historical or traditional use: Traditionally, barberry was used to treat a large number of conditions in European and American herbalism, particularly infections and stomach problems.1 There is also a history of its internal use to treat skin conditions.
Active constituents: The alkaloid berberine receives the most research and widest acclaim as the active component of barberry and its relatives. Berberine is also a key constituent of goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis). Berberine and its cousins (such as oxyacanthine) are antibacterial2 and also kill ameba in test tubes.3 Berberine inhibits bacteria from attaching to human cells, which helps prevent an infection from occurring.4 This compound treats diarrhea caused by bacteria, such as E. coli.5 Berberine also stimulates some immune system cells to function better.6 Berbamine is another alkaloid found in barberry. It helps reduce inflammation7 and is an antioxidant.8
Patients with psoriasis using a topical ointment of Oregon grape, which is very similar to barberry, showed significant improvement of symptoms.9 The bitter compounds in barberry, including the alkaloids mentioned above, stimulate digestive function.
How much should I take? For digestive conditions, barberry is often combined with other bitter herbs, such as gentian in tincture form. Such mixtures are taken fifteen to twenty minutes before a meal, usually 2&endash;5 ml each time. As a tincture, 2&endash;3 ml of barberry can be taken three times per day. Standardized extracts containing 5&endash;10% alkaloids are preferably for the prevention of infections. A total of approximately 500 mg of berberine each day should be taken. Standardized goldenseal extracts are a more common source of berberine, since it contains a higher concentration of this compound compared to barberry. An ointment made from a 10% extract of barberry can be applied topically three times per day.
Are there any side effects or interactions? Berberine alone has been reported to interfere with normal bilirubin metabolism in infants, raising a concern that it might worsen jaundice.10 For this reason, berberine-containing plants, including barberry and goldenseal, should be used with caution in pregnancy and breast-feeding. Strong standardized extracts may cause stomach upset and should be used for no more than two weeks continuously.

>> The judge in the child sex abuse case of disgraced former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky said at a pretrial hearing today that he would rule later on several issues, including a motion from the defense to have all charges dismissed, the Associated Press reports via CBS Philly.
>> Philadelphia’s population has continued to grow since the 2010 census with an increase of people moving here from other countries and a decline in people moving out of the city to other states, The Daily News reports.
>> A fire gutted a historic $5 million French chateau in Radnor yesterday, according to 6ABC.
>> A Phillymag blog post by Larry Mendte calling on City Council members to get rid of DROP and cut their own budget touched off a halfhearted Twitter battle between Mendte and Council President Darrell Clarke’s Communications Director Jane Roh. Which lead to another blog post in which Mendte repeatedly questioned if Roh was tweeting from her city-issued Blackberry. Does he understand that smartphones don’t generally charge per tweet?

MUNFLA looking for a working BetaMax player
Has anyone in the St. John's area got an old, *still-working* BetaMax player to donate? MUN's Folklore and Language Archive needs one.
Beta was the Sony-developed competitor to VHS as a home-video format. Beta lost that war but many people kept using Beta machines for a decade or more, even after the whole videotape thing was washed to sea by DVDs.
The Archive has the opportunity to copy some important videos from the 1980s and they are on Beta. The Archive's old BetaCord machine died this very afternoon.
If you have a working one and are willing to donate it you can call Pauline Cox (Archivist) at 864-8401.

Zambia stopped accepting any foreign currency when The Bank of Zambia (Currency) Regulations (PDF) came into effect on May 18, 2012. The core requirement of these regulations is that all invoices must be in kwacha. There appears to be no issues with selling or purchasing foreign currency, provided the transaction happens through an authorized foreign exchange dealer.
A new set of regulations was announced on May 5, 2013. It allows for tighter monitoring of the inflow and outflow of goods, services, and money:
In relation to outflows, the Bank of Zambia shall monitor:
a) the value of any imported goods;
b) the value of any imported services, including management services;
c) any amounts remitted out of Zambia whether unrequited (gratuitous) or otherwise;
d) the amounts, if any, deposited abroad but generated by a person resident in Zambia from the supply of goods produced or services rendered in Zambia;
e) loans granted to non-residents;
f) trade credits from non-residents;
g) investments made in the form of equity outside Zambia by persons resident in Zambia; and
h) investments made in the form of debt securities outside Zambia by persons resident in Zambia.
In relation to inflows, the Bank of Zambia shall monitor:
a) the value of any goods or services exported out of Zambia;
b) profits or dividends received in respect of investments abroad;
c) borrowings from non-residents;
d) trade credits to non-residents;
e) investments in the form of equity from abroad;
f) investments in the form of debt securities from abroad; and
g) receipts of both principal and interest on loans to non-residents.
The Bank of Zambia shall also, in relation to international transactions, monitor:
a) the value of imported or exported manufacturing services or goods to or from non-residents;
b) the net cost effect of telecommunication services;
c) the value of international transport, courier and postal services;
d) the value of accommodation and other hospitality services to or from nonresidents; and
e) international money transfers into and out of Zambia.

The primary motivation for these regulations seems to be a desire to put an end to the enormous capital flight Zambia has suffered in previous years:
Almost $9 billion was illicitly siphoned out of Zambia, Africa's top copper producer over the last decade, according to a report by a U.S. anti-graft watchdog, which highlights how resource wealth is often squandered in the developing world.
The amount is almost half the size of Zambia's current gross domestic product and much of the money would have been channeled to offshore banks and tax havens, draining one of the world's poorest countries of badly needed capital.
The Zambian government said the report was in line with its own findings and vowed to crack down on culprits.

When to Seek Urgent Veterinary Care for a Limping Pet
When to Seek Immediate Veterinary Care for a Limping Pet
In most cases, your pet’s limp can wait until regular business hours for veterinary care. However, there are certain situations in which you should seek emergency care at the nearest veterinary hospital without delay.
Signs of Lameness in Pets that Require Emergency Care
If your pet displays any of the following signs, it is crucial to head to the emergency room:
– Dragging a limb
– Not putting weight on a limb
– Extreme lethargy
– Uncontrollable bleeding
– Excessive swelling
– Excessive vocalization
– Sudden worsening of a limp
If your pet has a minor limp but also exhibits concerning symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea, they may require emergency treatment for the underlying cause rather than just the limp itself.
Causes of Lameness in Pets that Require Emergency Care
Pets can experience lameness due to various reasons, but certain conditions demand immediate attention. While a muscle sprain or strain can be concerning, rushing to the nearest emergency hospital is not necessary. However, the following situations require urgent care:
– Fractured limb
– Paresis or paralysis of one or more limbs
– Deep or profusely bleeding wounds
– Venomous insect or snake bite
– Car accident
– Dog fight
Some of these situations may not initially seem severe, but there could be internal issues that require treatment. For instance, if your pet is hit by a car and only has minor road rash and a slight limp, a comprehensive examination may reveal damage to vital organs like the liver, spleen, kidneys, or bladder, which may necessitate intensive hospitalization.
Another common scenario that calls for emergency treatment is when a pet is bitten by another animal. Although puncture wounds may appear small, they can quickly become infected. Additionally, if a pet grabs and shakes your pet, it can cause significant damage to underlying tissues that can rapidly escalate into a serious problem.
Determining whether your pet, who is now limping, requires emergency care can be challenging. Therefore, we recommend contacting our team to discuss your pet’s condition, and we can provide guidance on whether they need immediate treatment.

Getting feedback from users or potential users is key to building an app that meets their needs. Organizations can also save time by getting feedback early in the design and development process, rather than launching an app that isn’t used and immediately needs to be changed.
When building an app, use the UserTesting platform to collect information during your discovery work, to get feedback on designs as you are developing them, and to conduct ongoing assessments after launch.
When building an app, follow these steps to collect feedback via UserTesting:
- Conduct discovery interviews to understand the needs that the app is intended to meet and also to understand the experience with any current apps, websites, or software that meet a similar need. The course linked above includes downloadable scripts to help you plan your interviews.
- Support your analysis of the competitive landscape by running comparison tests between your current offerings and those of your competitors. The balanced comparison feature in the Platform makes it easy to run comparison tests.
- As your team develops early design concepts, get feedback on those design concepts. Conduct comparison tests of multiple design ideas via the balanced comparison feature. Remember, don't wait until the app is being coded, but rather get feedback on wireframes or even images of the app screens.
- Once you settle on a final design, collect additional feedback as the prototype evolves.
- As you near the end of the development process, run a benchmark study to ensure the design achieves the benchmark metrics that you had defined previously.
- Once your new app is deployed, analyze your metrics and collect feedback to understand any areas where the metrics are lower than expected. See this course to understand more about how quantitative metrics and qualitative insights fit together.

While the UCF Baseball team may have gone 4-2 against USF in 2022, those two losses resulted in a 1-2 series loss last weekend in Tampa.
With the absence of Connor Staine, two 1-hitters are much less likely, thus run support from the UCF offense would be key for victory. While this did happen in Game 1, it did not in Games 2 and 3.
Thanks to this series loss, the Knights now drop back to 3rd place in the AAC conference standings, one game behind 2nd place Houston and three behind leader East Carolina.
Game 1: Bats and Vespi get out ahead
Things started out well for the Knights in Friday’s Game 1 when a steady supply of run support made a late Bulls rally moot.
Leading the charge offensively was 3B Michael Brooks, who led the team in RBIs (4) thanks to two RBI singles and drawing a bases-loaded walk.
Alongside Brooks was the newly returned LF Lex Boedicker, who went 4-5 at the plate with two RBIs: one on a double in the 2nd inning and the other on a 6th inning single.
Joining Boedicker in the Two RBIs Club for the game were RF Trent Taylor, DH Tom Josten, and SS Noah Orlando.
By the time starting pitcher Ben Vespi exited the game after six innings, the Knights were up 9-1. During that time, he kept the Bulls at bay by allowing just the one run on three hits. He also set a new career high by striking out eight batters.
So, even though reliever Dominic Castellano gave up three runs on three hits in the last 1.2 innings of the game, the run support provided to Vespi during the first six innings held up to give the Knights the win.
Game 2: Stuck in the Carmine Lane
FINAL | ' 1, 2— UCF Baseball (@UCF_Baseball) May 7, 2022
Both teams were more evenly matched offensively in Saturday’s Game 2 than the day before.
However, it would be one Bulls batter that ultimately made the difference on the scoreboard: 3B Carmine Lane.
Lane sported a Top 10 batting average in the conference heading into this weekend and he showed why on Saturday.
In Lane’s first at-bat of the day, the second Bulls batter overall, he hit a solo home run over the right field wall off of Knights starter William Saxton. It was one of two hits that Saxton would give up in his two innings of work before a weather delay set in, lasting just over an hour.
We are in a weather delay here in Tampa….Yup, I know…just go with it. pic.twitter.com/MsUjm6sPS2— UCF Marc Daniels (@ucf_marcdaniels) May 7, 2022
Upon play resuming, Chase Centala took over pitching duties for the Knights the rest of the way; six innings to be exact.
Lane then struck again in the 5th inning, this time with an RBI single, to put the Bulls up, 2-0. It was one of four hits Centala gave up in his appearance and the only run.
While UCF was able to get one back in the 7th thanks to Brooks grounding out into a double play which allowed Boedicker to score on a fielder’s choice, it would not be enough.
Despite the Knights outhitting USF, 7-6, Lane’s two RBIs gave the Bulls the victory.
Game 3: Offense, Where art thou?
FINAL | 1, 3— UCF Baseball (@UCF_Baseball) May 8, 2022
While mother nature did not interfere in Sunday’s Game 3, it did have similar beats to Game 2.
Both teams were close in the hitting department, though this time the Bulls outhit the Knights, 8-6.
For the majority of the game, however, the only run scored was from USF DH Nelson Rivera via a 2nd-inning wild pitch from UCF starting pitcher Cameron Crain. It was Crain’s only wild pitch in a start that saw him go three innings, allowing just one hit and striking out three batters.
This streak of scoreless innings continued despite Knights relievers David Litchfield and Jacob Marlowe giving up a combined four hits in 1.2 innings.
It would not be until the 7th inning when, in the only hit reliever Kyle Kramer gave up in his 2.1-inning appearance, USF CF Jarrett Eaton hit an RBI single to go up, 2-0.
UCF was able to half the lead, however, thanks to a solo home-run the next inning by 1B Ben McCabe.
However, not only were the Knights not successful in getting a second run, the Bulls restored its two-run lead, making it 3-1 in the bottom of the 8th inning with SS Nick Gonzalez scoring on a fielder’s choice.
That run, given up by Saxton in his second appearance of the series, ended up being the final run of the series.
While none of UCF’s pitchers gave up more than two hits each, the Knights offense did not provide the run support as it did in Game 1, leading to the Knights losing the game and the series.
The road trip continues for the Knights. First, the team will head down south for a midweek game with No. 6-ranked Miami (FL) at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
The Knights took the win the last time these two teams met, 10-5. Though, that game was in Orlando.
After that, the team will travel to Houston next weekend to take on the Cougars, with Games 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday respectively, and Game 3 at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
The Cougars boast the highest team batting average in the AAC, but the 4th-lowest team earned run average. Individually, the team’s principal hitter is Anthony Tulimero, who ranks 6th in the conference in batting average. Plus, the team has the 5th and 6th-lowest ERAs in the conference in Ben Sears, (2.78) and Kyle Lacalameto (3.26).
Player of the Series:
Ben Vespi, Starting Pitcher
Following what was already a career performance last weekend against Tulane, Vespi followed it up with another one on Friday to get his 5th win of the season.
That 5th win gives him the outright lead for the most wins of any UCF pitcher so far this season.
In addition, this performance lowered his ERA to 2.16, putting him 25th in the nation in the statistic.
