Plan remains in place, says Wirral Council
A Merseyside local authority is insisting a plan to set up a Manx technology university is going ahead – despite reports plans have been abandoned.
Wirral Council says it’s still in negotiations to lease one of its unused buildings for an Isle of Mann University ICT Faculty.
It’s still unclear, however, who’s behind the development and what links it has to the Island.
And when asked about claims the proposals had now been dropped, a spokesperson for the council said: ‘We are looking into the reports, however, as far as we are aware, talks about the proposed facility are continuing and plans have not been shelved.’

The call comes from the return man, who hasn't fielded the ball. When he yells "Go!" the wedge starts upfield, providing a shield for the kick returner. As the kickoff-coverage team tries to locate the ball, small cracks, or seams, are formed. When the returner finds one of these seams, he bursts through it and hopes for the best.

In a highly publicised case, the residents of a luxury apartment block in central London, Neo Bankside, brought proceedings against the Tate Modern gallery. The apartment owners argued that the viewing platform introduced by the gallery meant that they were overlooked. They compared their lives since the building of the platform as like ‘living in a goldfish bowl’. At each stage of the case, the Court sided with the Tate. But earlier this month, the Supreme Court published their decision, overturning the lower courts and determining that the Tate viewing platform caused a nuisance to the flat owners.
| Fearn and others v Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery
Neo Bankside is comprised of luxury apartments with floor to ceiling windows to take advantage of the London riverside views. It was built around 30 metres away from the Tate Modern gallery and opened in around 2012.
In 2016, works were completed on the Tate’s viewing platform. Since then, thousands of members of the public have been out onto the platform to enjoy the uninterrupted views over the London skyline. And, unfortunately, are also able to look directly into some of the Neo Bankside apartments. The residents reported Tate visitors waving to them in their homes, and seeing photos of their apartments on social media.
Unhappy with the new view directly into their homes, some of the Neo Bankside apartment owners brought a claim against the Tate Modern. They claimed that the viewing platform was a nuisance, and asked that the court make an injunction against the gallery, preventing visitors looking into their homes. They also brought a human rights argument that the viewing platform breached their right to privacy. However, the flat owners dropped this argument quite early on.
| What is a nuisance?
A nuisance is where someone does something on their own land, which interferes with their neighbour’s ability to enjoy their own land. This must be a substantial interference and the use of land must be over and above how the Defendant would ordinarily use its land.
Nuisances can include, for example:
- Noise from a neighbouring property;
- Smells from a nearby restaurant or takeaway; or
- Water flooding from a neighbouring plot.
| The lower courts – ‘overlooking’ is not a nuisance
At the High Court, the Judge considered the flat owners’ arguments, and appeared to appreciate the extent of the problems they were suffering. However, he said that in such cases there should be “give and take”. He suggested that they could take preventative measures in their flats by, for example, installing privacy film or net curtains.
The flat owners did not agree and appealed.
Unfortunately for the flat owners, however, the Court of Appeal also sided with the Tate Modern. As we reported back in 2020, the court said that the principal of private nuisance did not extend to overlooking.
| The Supreme Court
However, in the end (some six years after issuing their claim), the flat owners were victorious. The Supreme Court decided (although not all the judges agreed) that it did not matter that the apartments were fully glazed. The judges noted that this was not uncommon in modern buildings. The judges also noted that it wasn’t even really about ‘overlooking’ as such. It was more about the use of the viewing platform by the Tate. Every day, the Tate invited the public to,
“look out from that location in every direction, including at the claimants’ flats… and permits and invites this activity to continue without interruption for the best part of the day every day of the week; and that this has the predictable consequence that a very significant number of the roughly half a million people who visit the Tate’s viewing gallery each year peer into the claimants’ flats and take photographs of them”.
The Supreme Court decided that this was indeed causing the flat owners a nuisance.
The Court acknowledged that the public interest into being able to enjoy the view from the viewing platform had a part to play. They did not order an injunction to prevent the nuisance. Instead, it ordered that the Tate Modern pay compensation to the flat owners who could no longer enjoy their apartments.
| Does this open the floodgates to ‘overlooking’ nuisance claims?
There has been much press about this case and questions raised as to whether more claims about overlooking will be successful as a result. This case was specific on its facts – hundreds of people were invited daily to look out at the views from the platform (including into the flats) – and was successful because of these flats. It of course remains to be seen how the lower courts will apply this case going forwards. But early speculation is that this will not result in a flurry of successful claims arising from, for example, upwards extensions on properties.

Washington’s health care workers and patients banded together this year to address our health care staffing crisis and – despite significant pushback from the hospital industry – won a major victory. Governor Inslee signed the Safe Staffing bill (SB 5236) into law on April 20th, following passage in the House and Senate with strong bipartisan support. The House passed the bill on Thursday April 6th with a vote of 92 to 6 and the Senate passed the bill a month earlier 35-13.
The pandemic made our pre-existing staffing crisis go from bad to worse, with half of recently polled health care workers stating they were likely to leave the health care field in coming years, largely due to inadequate staffing. Years of poor working conditions, high patient-to-staff ratios, and a lack of enforcement of existing protections have led to burnout and what experts now call “moral injury”, when workers experience high levels of psychological impact.
Years of organizing, negotiating, striking, and pushing for safer working conditions have contributed to this victory for Washington’s workers and patients. The bill was launched last year but died in a Senate committee after passing the House. This year, significant negotiations between nurses and hospital representatives resulted in a strong compromise bill, that, while not as strong as the original text, is still an important step forward. 76% of recently surveyed Washington voters support safe staffing standards and it shows – tens of thousands of advocates supported the bill throughout session in hearings and by sending messages to legislators.
SB 5236 will improve working conditions for frontline health care staff by:
- Strengthening hospital staffing plan accountability
- Expanding meal and rest break laws to include all frontline staff, rather than just nurses
- Improving overtime law enforcement and accountability
- Establishing a study to evaluate existing staffing plans
This bill is a crucial step forward for Washington’s health care system – because a win for workers is a win for us all!

The Atlanta Falcons took a unique and irreverent approach to announce their 2021 schedule release this year. Now one of the most anticipated moments on the NFL calendar, the schedule release has become not only a moment to energize the fan base, but also a cultural moment that transcends beyond the simple announcement.
This year, the Falcons' goal was to set the bar when it comes to creating content that will engage young and avid audiences as well as next-gen fans. The Falcons used Bleacher Report's Gridiron Heights, a wildly successful short animated spoof series centered around the NFL and its 32 teams, for inspiration.
The Falcons called Bleacher Report and the teams worked to produce a special episode of Gridiron Heights. As any sports fan knows, healthy rivalries can motivate players and fans alike and the NFL landscape is ripe for healthy competition between teams, individual players and fanbases. In typical fashion, the Falcons have woven "easter eggs" throughout the episode, so fans will enjoy catching additional playful "pokes" across all opponents.
"Content has the power to strengthen the relationship we have between the team, our fans and the city of Atlanta" says Morgan Shaw Parker, chief marketing officer, Atlanta Falcons. The NFL schedule release has become a key moment on the NFL calendar for our fans and they now expect our content to be fun, engaging and irreverent. Knowing that healthy rivalries tend to bring a bit of fire to our Atlanta fanbase."
Additionally, playing off Atlanta's rich music culture and the relevancy of the #VERSUZ battles on social media, the Falcons have created a themed-schedule release graphic concept featuring popular music artists from opposing cities against Atlanta artists - with custom album covers. The Falcons social media schedule release launch will commence this evening with continued content throughout the rest of the week.

Once we start dating someone, we usually put all our effort into it and hope that things will work out well. However, sometimes it might be necessary to end the relationship even though we don't want to. So when is it time to let go? There isn't a perfect answer to this question since everyone is different. No one wants to end things with someone they're dating. But sometimes, it's just not meant to be. Many signs indicate when it might be time to break up with your partner. Here are a few common ones:
There are some cases when you should definitely end things with your partner, even if you're still in love with them. If your partner is physically or emotionally abusive. If your partner is addicted to drugs or alcohol, it's time to end things. And if your partner has betrayed your trust, it might be time to walk away.
In certain circumstances, you may wish to take a break from seeing or talking to your partner for a while. It might be best to give each other some space if things are heated. You could say something like, "I think it would be best if we took a break from seeing each other for a while."
If you've decided it's time to end things with your partner, the best thing to do is be honest with them. Don't try to sugarcoat it or make excuses. Just explain to them calmly and clearly that you think it's time to end the relationship. You can say something like, "I'm sorry, but I think it's time for us to break up."
It's also important to be respectful when you're breaking up with someone. Don't yell or call them names. Just explain why you think it's time to end things and then let them go. Breaking up is never easy, but sometimes it's the best thing for both parties involved.

Healthcare: Hospital expansion could help spur medical district
by Stephen Feller for Sun Sentinel
As city officials in Margate have spent time working for a commercial and residential development near city hall, the beginnings of a medical district has slowly taken shape in the north part of the city over the last few years.
The start of a full cardiac surgical program at Northwest Medical Center last month and consideration by the city of plans for a 30,000-square-foot expansion of the hospital are the next pieces of an organic change in the area.
The expansion, which will be home to the hospital’s Heart and Vascular Institute, will include two open heart operating room suites, a cardiovascular intensive care unit and a cardiovascular progressive care unit, said Dr. Jonathan Hoffberger, the cardiac surgeon at Northwest who is heading up the expansion and creation of the new unit.
As a result of the new section of the hospital, most of what drivers see along State Road 7 will change, according to the plans and City Planner Ben Ziskal.
Gone will be Frontage Road, which offers access off of busy State Road 7 and into the hospital, and in its place will be reworked parking lots and walkways that will connect parts of the hospital, he said.
As the project moves ahead, there remain several properties north of the hospital which could be snapped up or have been considered for hospital construction in the past.
One property, on the northeast corner of State Road 7 and 31st Street, has been considered in recent years for the construction of a hospital annex, according to Michael Shooster, who runs 777 Properties, which owns the land.
In 2006, Shooster said the hospital worked with his company and an architect on the annex concept, which would have included a four-story office building and eight-story parking garage.
Not long after renderings of the project were completed, however, the hospital backed away from the project.
Already open near the hospital are two medical office buildings on the east side of State Road 7, which Ziskal said were conceived one right after the other as they filled with tenants so quickly.
The dialysis center just south of those buildings, other already-existing medical office buildings, and a new Walgreen’s under construction on the corner of State Road 7 and 31st Street are pushing a concept that has surged ahead over the last several years.
Economic development has been the reason for discussion of development in the city, and Northwest’s new cardiac program certainly could do that as it will require even more new staff when the expansion goes online.
Hoffberger said the hospital already has been hiring nurses, doctors and staff that are experienced in the services that Northwest will be offering as part of the program.
Though Florida Medical Center in Lauderdale Lakes offers some of the same cardiac procedures, several new minimally invasive ones – including valve replacements and some bypass surgeries – will make Northwest an attractive choice for doctors and patients in search of those services.
The potential for this, and existing services and facilities in the area, to attract even more offices and uses such as medical supply companies is significant, said Ziskal, who is just beginning research into the potential for what such an area could be.
Mayor Joe Varsallone said he didn’t think the city had ever pursued medical business for the city, and has not focused on it for future development, but that it would be a good thing.
Though there are no other projects under city consideration at this point, he said the potential for this to be a business niche for the city must be explored because of its potential to attract new business and permanent residents for Margate.
“This could be an economic driver for the north end of the city,” Ziskal said. “We have 31 cities in this county that are all fighting for their own economic vitality and business base in order to have a hub of a certain type of business…If we have a high density of medical uses it could be that niche that we’re looking for.”

Finally, I've found a look I really like for my DollZone Morphoa BJD. I bought her as a full-set, and her make-up is very, very pink. Plus her little flower tear can almost be mistaken as historical style makeup.
The gown is a OOAK creation--just lovely--which I bought from Boutique Doll. The wig is either Leeke or Lutz, and I've pinned up some of the curls to make it look higher. I made the jewelry and hair accessories.
You can see more photos of Morphoa on my Flickr photostream. I love how she can pose, but I'm really not fond of DZ joints. The gown is perfect to cover them up!

The topic below is complex and wide-ranging. Discussing it will require defining some terms, but also making some generalizations. I’ll do my best to honor the nuances of this topic, but it’s not going to be possible for me to cover every subtlety. So please bear with me, assume good intentions, and if I fail to make something sufficiently clear, we can discuss it in the comments.
This blog (much to my delight) has readers from around the world. That’s a problem for this post, because I will be using the social/political term “conservative,” which means different things in different countries. Because I am posting about attitudes in the United States, I will be using “conservative” in an American sense.
In most places (so I’m told), “conservative” roughly means aristocratic. Conservatives are assumed to be in favor of existing power structures, and that could include a class system or a monarchy.
American conservatism is a bit different because America, from its founding, was anti-royalist and in fact deeply suspicious of all governmental power. America was also populist relative to the rest of the world. Not that we didn’t have wealthy landowners, but one of our basic values was that anyone ought to be able to buy land and live virtually without interference from any kind of overlord. We also didn’t think there ought to be a national religion, and strove to set up barriers to keep governments from interfering with churches.
In other words, in the United States, the term “conservative” basically means those same values that in the 18th and 19th centuries were called “liberal.” This is why some American conservatives call themselves “classical liberals.”
Political conservatism, as I will be using the term, is the belief that national government is very limited in the range of its legitimate authority. It’s basically limited to law and order, national defense, and a few big public works projects such as national highways. Everything else, including religion, health care, commerce, and education, is outside its purview.
Social conservatism means a belief in what used to be called (before the term was mocked out of existence) “family values.” Social conservatives value clean living (no drugs or alcoholism) and traditional sexual morality (an emphasis on intact families and a disapproval of the sexual revolution of the 1960s). They also tend to value community structures such as churches, synagogues, and local clubs and organizations.
Social conservatives may or may not believe that laws are the way to promote all these good things they value. Increasingly, they are realizing that “politics is downstream of culture,” and that the way to promote all these good things is simply to live them.
I happen to be both politically and socially conservative, so I’ll be using the term to mean both. But you will occasionally meet people who are one but not the other. Libertarians, in particular, are often politically conservative but socially liberal. They believe government should be very limited, and this includes not outlawing alcohol, drugs, or any dangerous sexual behavior that does not rise to the level of assault.
OK, I hope that is clear enough to go forward.
Defining Bookish and Outdoorsy
I am bookish. Like many fellow book lovers, I started life socially awkward and found a refuge in fiction. I also have an academic bent. While fiction is my favorite, I enjoy reading just about anything (theology, psychology, philosophy, history, memoir … even popular-level science books, though I am somewhat retarded when it comes to science, especially the more esoteric theoretical stuff). I got this bookishness from my dad, who is a true egghead and reads four languages. Our house growing up was an extremely print-rich environment.
There are millions out there like me.
I am also a little bit outdoorsy. Not athletic, so I’m not a hard-core skier, rafter, or even hiker and camper. But I enjoy being out of doors. I like taking walks (another gift from my dad). In principle, if not perfectly in practice, I approve of living simply: gardening, keeping chickens, being frugal. Not keeping up with the Joneses. Some of this is forced on me by a low budget. OK, I admit it. I am kind of a tightwad. I got this from my Dutch mom, and it too is a gift.
Also millions of people like this out there.
Now, This Is Where It Gets Strange
According to the preponderance of American books, TV, and movies … people like me do not exist. You never, never see the possibility entertained that a person could be bookish, outdoorsy, and also conservative.
You will sometimes see rural conservatives portrayed who like to hunt and fish, but these people are not represented as educated or even, in some cases, literate.
When conservatives are portrayed who are not rednecks, they are typically shown as wealthy businesspeople or heirs and heiresses of the kind who might star in a soap opera. The men wear suits, the women get plastic surgery and wear a ton of makeup. They are less likely to go to the library and more likely to go to the mall or the spa. You would certainly never see them put on old clogs, a kerchief on their head, and go out to weed the garden.
But yet, in real life, I know quite a few conservatives who do just that. They are educated. They aren’t overly concerned with looking like Barbie or with getting a new outfit of clothes every season. They garden. They pinch pennies. They might not even own a TV (rarer these days). I was raised among people like this. Quite a few of them were farmers; others were academics.
Public libraries in the U.S. still haven’t gotten this memo. Based on the activities they offer, the things they post on their bulletin boards, and the types of books they feature prominently, it’s pretty clear that their assumption is, if you’re bookish enough and frugal enough to be coming to the library, you must be a leftist. By which I mean, you are probably in favor of a big, extremely involved “nanny state” style national government. You may be Marxist. You probably approve of the sexual revolution and all its fruits, including the LGBTQ revolution. You might be in to the New Age, but you certainly hate “organized religion” (because what educated person wouldn’t?).
Wendell Berry is a good example of this attitude. He’s a writer and a farmer. A few years ago somebody gave me a book of essays by him (because, hey, he’s a writer and a farmer!). He writes beautifully about farming, about the earth, about the relationship of people to the earth and the spiritual aspects of farming. And then he goes on to assume that his readers are leftists and would vote for leftist candidates.
One Partial Explanation
I’m sure there are plenty of reasons for this widespread assumption that people who are educated and fond of a simple lifestyle are leftist. As I said above, this post touches on several spheres, all of which are complex and can’t be discussed exhaustively. I’m just going to focus on one possible explanation: the conflation of capitalism with consumerism.
Capitalism, as I understand it, has two components. The first is private property. On a socialist or Marxist philosophy, nobody ought to own anything. Everything belongs to everybody, which in practice means everything belongs to the government and if you try to “hoard” something of your own they will take it. Capitalists, on the other hand, are big on private property. So, if you buy some land, it’s your land. If you buy or build a house, it’s your house. You can’t be forced to share or give your house or land to someone else, because it is yours. People tend to take better care of things when they own them. They tend to work harder at a job when they know that its fruits will not be capriciously taken from them.
The second component of capitalism is the free market. This just means that if I want to sell you (let’s take a really woodsy example) a cord of wood off my land, no third party is going to step in and say “You are charging too much” or “You have to give me a percentage of the sale” or “You don’t have a license to sell that.” If I agree to sell it and you agree to buy it, the wood and the money can change hands, and everybody’s happy.
Now, it should be clear from my explanation that neither of these principles has any quarrel with the simple life. Quite the opposite. Farming works better when private property rights exist. So do gardening, making art, selling your work, or building up a personal library.
However, in many people’s minds when they hear capitalism they immediately think of consumerism. They don’t think of private property and unregulated sales for the small farmer, shopkeeper, or artist. They think of huge corporations. They think of advertising, overspending, jockeying for social status by virtue of our possessions. They think of consumerism.
Hence, if they write a book that combats consumerism, such as a book about how to live a simple life, they assume that they must necessarily combat capitalism as well.
I would argue that these people have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Consumerism is certainly one possible result of capitalism. But it’s really kind of a separate problem. Capitalism might make a consumerist culture possible (any other system prevents the kind of wealth that allows widespread consumerism), but if a culture is very consumerist, it’s really because of other cultural values that they hold. It’s not because somebody told them they could have private property. Private property and a free market, as I have shown, are just as a friendly to a simple, quiet lifestyle as they are to consumerism. And if we stamp out private property in an attempt to get rid of consumerism, we will end up getting rid of quite a few other things as well.
We Are Invisible to Each Other
It’s weird to me when people assume that the wealthy, consumerist lifestyle is characteristically conservative. I was raised by conservatives who lived a simple, bookish lifestyle. All the new clothes and cars, the plastic surgery, the materialist beliefs that I saw were coming from the people I saw in the movies and on TV, who were consumerist and leftist. I figured those two things went together. But apparently … not always. Apparently there were a bunch of leftists out there who were living simple, bookish lifestyles, but because they were not on TV I could not see them, just as they could not see me.
And they still don’t.

Is student debt holding back a housing recovery?
- Staff Memphis Business Journal
A new analysis shows that loan applications for home purchases have dropped 20 percent in the past four months compared with the same period a year ago, and experts think student loan debt may be to blame, The Washington Post reports.
That's because first-time buyers are not stepping up to bridge that gap, accounting for about 30 percent of home buys over the past year, and that's far below the industry norm. Where's the connection with student loans? That debt has tripled from a decade earlier, to more than $1 trillion, and young college graduates aren't earning as much as they once did. The result is that many young adults can't save enough for down payment or qualify for a mortgage.

Real estate owners are replacing concrete, shingle, and tar roofs with lush, green vegetation. Green roofs are becoming more common in the push toward energy conservation. Organic infrastructure is a valuable resource in mitigating against climate change, and it does more than help the environment—it comes with tax savings.
There are two basic types of green roofs. According to constructiondive.com, “[a]n extensive green roof system uses low-lying plants, creates a light roof load and requires less maintenance than its high-profile counterpart, the intensive green roof, which can include trees, shrubs and heavier architectural features. Both types are most easily installed on flat roofs.” Generally, there are no special structural requirements for green roofs, and property owners realize long-term benefits from the longevity of the roof and energy cost savings.
Several municipalities and the District of Columbia have all gotten on board with providing tax incentives to support green roof projects. Greenroofs.org explains that green roofs are especially important in large cities because they “reduce the amount of storm water runoff … resulting in decreased stress on sewer systems at peak flow periods” The website also explains that green roofs can reduce dust and smog.
Tax and Fee Incentives
In 2007, Philadelphia began offering a tax credit against the business privilege tax of 25 percent of all the costs incurred to construct green roofs, with a maximum credit amount of $100,000. Philadelphia Bill No 160004 recently amended the green roof coverage requirements. Previously, roof top green space had to cover at least 50 percent of the building’s rooftop or 75 percent of eligible rooftop space, a green roof must now cover 60 percent of the rooftop.
New York offers a green roof property tax credit up to $100,000. The program was created by 2008 Senate Bill A11226, and provides a one-year tax abatement, or tax relief of $4.50 per square foot (up to $100,000 or the building's tax liability, whichever is less). Amended by Senate Bill S4802 in 2013, the tax abatement is now available through March 15, 2018.
Washington D.C.’s District Department of the Environment 2015-2016 green roof rebate program provides base funding of $10 per square foot, and up to $15 per square foot in targeted areas, with no cap on the size of projects eligible for the rebate. The rebate extends to residential, commercial, and institutional properties. According to the Department of Energy and Environment website, Washington D.C. has 2.3 million square feet of green roofs within just 69 square miles, and has plans to add more than 1 million more green roofs over the next 10 years.
A 2008 Bloomberg View article notes that, “Property owners who build green roofs, rain gardens and the like are given credits they can sell to others who need to offset the runoff from their developments…. If the effort works as it's supposed to, additional community benefits will follow, from improved health to increased property values.” The environmental advantages flowing from green roofs also include better air quality, noise and sound insulation, and a decreased need for waste disposal. The grass is greener for green roof properties—where grass actually grows.

The Barclays Premier League high flyers head into Wednesday night's Champions League last-16 first-leg clash against the German giants on the back of Sunday's 2-1 FA Cup victory over Liverpool, rather than a morale-sapping elimination to lower-league opposition - as was the case in 2013.
The match at the Emirates Stadium takes place 12 months to the day since their 3-1 home loss to Bayern which cost Wenger's men their place in the next round.
Arsenal's home loss gave them a gargantuan task heading to the Allianz Arena, where they won 2-0, but exited the competition on away goals before Bayern went on to lift the trophy at Wembley.
But the Arsenal boss is confident his side are now mentally better prepared to take on the Bundesliga side.
He said: "We are in much better mental shape today than we were one year ago.
"We lost against Blackburn at home in the FA Cup and it was a big disappointment for us
This time we won against Liverpool.
"We have a strong team spirit, a strong desire to do well and a united team.
"I believe we always had these kind of qualities but not always the belief
The belief is built by the results.
"On that front we are stronger, of course
We believe we can do it, but that's down to the quality of our performance tomorrow."
Tomas Rosicky replaces suspended midfielder Mikel Arteta in Wenger's matchday squad, which resembles that which beat Liverpool, with Wojciech Szczesny likely to return in goal in place of Lukasz Fabianski.
Jack Wilshere (stiff back), Santi Cazorla (ill), Kieran Gibbs (muscular problem), Bacary Sagna (tired) and Olivier Giroud (tired) are poised to return to the starting XI after taking places on the bench against the Reds.
Bayern may arrive with a new coach in Pep Guardiola, but the approach will be the same, according to Philipp Lahm.
The Bayern captain told fcbayern.de: "We won't be playing for a goalless draw
Obviously we want to win in London.
"Bearing in mind our last result there, we can travel with a lot of confidence.
"We can't wait to get back in (Champions League) action."
Since losing the second leg of their last-16 tie a year ago, only Manchester City have managed to beat Bayern in a competitive match, excluding the DFL-Supercup defeat to Borussia Dortmund last summer.
But Lahm knows Arsenal will be tough opponents as they look to stop the Bavarians becoming the first team to successfully defend their Champions League crown.
"It's not going to be easy," he said
"Their confidence will be soaring after they beat Liverpool at the weekend."
Holland international Arjen Robben is looking forward to the match in London after Bayern lifted the trophy in the capital in May.
"It's great to be going back again," said Robben, but on Arsenal he warned: "They've taken a step forward compared with last season."
Bayern will fly to London on Tuesday without Franck Ribery, who has started running once again, but is some way off returning to team training after undergoing surgery on his buttock.
Guardiola is also without Xherdan Shaqiri, who pulled his thigh after scoring two goals in a 4-0 win over Freiburg on Saturday.

Should college students be encouraged to find a boyfriend or girlfriend? In China, most high school students are not allowed to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. However, when they start their college life, they have the freedom and the chance.
Personally, I think campus love in college is allowed but shouldn’t be encouraged.
Some freshmen itch for a boyfriend or girlfriend out of curiosity since they had to keep a decent distance from the opposite sex at high school. Without the daily supervision of parents and teachers, their impulse to enter his or her world bursts like the eruption of volcanoes. They may not indeed understand what love is and how to love someone they think they love. Their “love” is superficial and has a short life.
Some students look for a boyfriend or girlfriend for the reason of nothing but company. They’re perhaps not ready to love someone. All they need is a love partner in name, who can talk to them when silence prevail in their life, or who can go shopping with them when they feel uneasy to walk alone on the street, or who offers to help them when they fall hard up. Some students look for a love partner simply because — as they put it — “campus love is in; none of my roommates are single.” Burdened by external or personal considerations, their “love” brings them little or no real happiness.
Some have more than one boyfriend or girlfriend. To them, love means sex. It is undeniable that sex plays an irreplaceable role in life, but love deserves far more than that. Once the physiological desire grows in the name of love, love is distorted and attainted. No wonder such words as “bachelor mother” and “abortion” become increasingly hot on college campus nowadays. In a word, love for sex betrays love and may even give rise to social problems.
Of course, I firmly believe in true love between some students. They should treasure it, because love gives them power to work harder and comfort to get over frustration. Love helps them visualize or illuminates their future. But do all college students truly understand the essence of love and the commitment to it? How many of them can keep a clear head when conflicts take place? And how many so-called couples are fully prepared to share weal and woe?
To conclude, at high school, students strived for the opportunity to receive advanced education rather than for the purpose of finding a love partner. After they earned the opportunity, they should still concentrate on their courses. They’re allowed to keep a good relationship with the opposite sex, for they’ve already grown up, but they should not be encouraged to seek a love when THEIR true love doesn’t arrive, because love needs the test of time.

Written through a collaboration between Karen Ard, Doug Burke and Sally Stovall Most folks in Oak Park / River Forest area understand the central importance of healthy, nutritious food which is sustainably raised, to the well-being of our bodies and the planet. Our current food system in the US is dominated by corporate agriculture (see Food and Water Watch’s “Farm Bill 101” for details on the few but powerful major players in agribusiness). Big agribusiness uses processes that are not safe for the animals, the soils or human beings. These processes include use of genetically modified seeds, chemical pesticides, petroleum-based fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, and confined spaces for animals. The food thus produced (even before the major food companies further process it) is damaging both to our health and the environment.
To achieve a diet of local, healthy food, we must currently grow or raise our own food or buy our food directly from local farmers who are committed to using sustainable or organic methods. This is a daunting task but the more we do it, the more we contribute to creating a mosaic of resources that will ultimately allow us to approach our goal of a truly local and healthy food system.
We have a lot of positive things contributing to growing a healthy, local food system for our area, including growing numbers of home and community gardens; the Oak Park Farmers’ Market and numerous CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture) that deliver locally; FamilyFarmed.org -- a local organization that works regionally to support the production, marketing and distribution of locally grown, responsibly produced food; and now, on the horizon, we have the Sugar Beet co-op that will provide a year-round market for local healthy food, as well as education and skill training.
We must take back the farm bill!
But where the rubber meets the road, it turns out that US government policy, reflected in the nearly trillion-dollar Farm Bill, actually works against all of our efforts and ends up contributing to the problem. If we want to change how Americans eat, and support development of local, sustainable food systems that will make our bodies and the planet healthier, we must to take back the Farm Bill and make it work for us instead of against us. Originally, the Farm Bill was designed to support small farmers. But it was long ago captured by the corporate forces of big agriculture. Big agribusiness organizations make up 20% of the farms but receive 90% of the subsidies; meanwhile small growers who produce real food crops like fruits and vegetables get little or no subsidies. These small farms (80% of farms) get 10% of the subsidies. The result is huge subsidized fields of corn and soybeans (nearly all genetically modified), which are used to feed animals or as ingredients of our many processed foods.
Every five years, Congress reviews the guidelines of the existing Farm Bill, and comes up with new ways to allocate the nearly-trillion dollar sum typically apportioned for American agriculture programs. The current Farm Bill provisions are set to expire on September 30, 2012. The US House of Representatives Agriculture Committee recently passed a revised version of the Farm Bill, which is moving us in the wrong direction. See the press release from Food and Water Watch, titled “Farm Bill Fails Farmers and Consumers” regarding the issues in this version of the farm bill.
In order to make government policies and investments support the priority of local, healthy food systems, we need to take back the Farm Bill and make it work for us instead of against us. We truly believe that this is what the majority of Americans want, so please join with the many organizations and individuals that care about our future generations, and let’s start “wildfires of common sense!” (EcoMind, Francis Moore Lappe, 2011) Please join Will Allen, Anna Lappé and Francis Moore Lappé, Michael Pollan, our own, Jim Slama, and many more chefs and food and nutrition experts, and local citizens, in calling on congress to stand with us to enact a food and farm bill that protects family farmers, and fairly serves the interests of all Americans.

Mary Gillham was a keen photographer - which is great for the Mary Gillham Archive Project as we have a fantastic record of her life! Mary's photos are valuable in many ways - they are a reflection of the social, cultural and political situation of the time, record the changes in landscape through natural and human induced changes and act as biological records depicting a species in a location on a certain date.
Slides were an essential tool for Mary when teaching or delivering talks and she would cram slides a projector and screen and maybe other teaching aids like her personal favourite Coco de mer or collections of shells gathered from beaches around the world.
During the course of the project we scanned over 37 000 slides which Mary left in her archive and conscientiously, Mary wrote a description of what the slide depicted on the face each one! A major task during the project was to try and capture this information so that the slides can be viewed and searched online. Many volunteers both in the office and part of our online supporters helped to transcribe these slides and this remains one of the most exciting, intriguing and illuminating aspects of Mary's archive.
You can see the digital versions of Mary's photos in a few places:
The People's Collection Wales is a project of the National Library Wales. During the course of the Mary Gillham Archive Project People's Collection Wales loaned us an A3 scanner to help scan each of the slides as well as oral history recording equipment to capture people's memories of Mary (thank you!). Mary's photos can be seen by following this link.
We also uploaded all of Mary's pictures to Flickr where they can be browsed and downloaded. Like all of Mary's archive, it is copyright free and so all of the images a free to download and use.
The slides, along with all the other physical materials within Mary's archive will be stored by Glamorgan Archives and be accessible to anyone who wishes to look through it.
The slides which depict interesting geology can be seen on the British Geological Survey's GeoScenic page.

He is single and is ready to have some fun. Well we are talking about Leonardo DiCaprio who has been rumoured to be a free agent again, after reportedly splitting up with his model girlfriend Toni Garrn. They were in a relationship for about a year and a half.
One spotted Leonardo DiCaprio at a night spot having some fun and enjoying his single status this weekend. Well the actor was snapped as he was heading into a car with a mystery brunette after attending the Kings Of Leon after party at Warwick Nightclub, in West Hollywood.
It was reported last month that Leonardo DiCaprio and his twenty two year old girlfriend Toni Garrn had gone their separate ways. The pair were last spotted together at the beginning of last month in New York. Toni Garran now joins a long list of glam exes, that include supermodel Gisele Bündchen, Blake Lively and Bar Rafaeli.
Interestingly, in an interview in February 2014, Leonardo DiCaprio was asked about his views on marriage and he had hinted that he was ready to settle down.
“The truth is, it’s gonna happen when it’s gonna happen. I’m just gonna let it happen naturally. I really am. That’s the only way to do it, I feel. And when it’s right, it’s gonna be right.”
Leonardo DiCaprio had insisted that he was very happy with his girlfriend Toni Garrn, with whom he had just been spotted holidaying in Courchevel, France.
It still remains a mystery if Leonardo DiCaprio has moved on and is dating someone else or is there hope for any reconciliation with his former girlfriend.
On his professional front too there is too much happening. Leonardo DiCaprio was in talks with Sony Motion Pictures to play Steve Jobs in a biopic about the late Apple co-founder’s life, but turned it down in favour of another role.
He is all set to start shooting for The Reverent this week and then intends to take a break from acting.
Here’s wishing this Academy Award Nominee all he best for a blissful life ahead!!

The small conference room was filled with residents and business owners who attended a public hearing on the tax rate at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Fredericksburg City Hall. Most of them came to voice their concerns about the new tax rate.
Proposed tax increase
Since the city is proposing a new tax rate of $0.232284 per $100 valuation, higher than the effective tax rate of $0.207284 per $100 valuation, it must have two public hearings to let residents know why it was proposed and hear their concerns.
City Manager Kent Myers gave everyone in attendance a list of what is driving that tax rate, as well as what it would mean for property owners.
For example, if a homeowner’s property is valued at $322,913, he or she would pay $750.08 in property taxes. With the rate as it is now, a homeowner with this home value would pay $669.35 in property taxes.
Property taxes cover 27% of the city’s General Fund revenues, which is the second largest source behind sales taxes, which cover 40%.
Myers said in the past two years, funding for city services has increased. Police funding is up 10.7%, funding for fire services is up 33.7%, EMS funding is up 14.9% and parks funding is up 54.6%.
Some new funding driving these costs up for Fiscal Year 2020 are a new police officer position, new police vehicles ($195,622), a new fire truck ($100,000 for eight years), a new ambulance vehicle ($95,000 for three years), a street traffic study ($75,000), sidewalk improvements ($100,000), a new restroom at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park ($240,000) and Marktplatz improvements ($138,000).
While the city’s proposed tax rate may be higher than the effective rate, it’s lower than several cities’ current tax rates. For example, Kerrville’s tax rate currently sits at $0.55140. Myers said the city is fortunate to have that.
“The reason our tax rate is so low is because we get so much sales tax per person,” Myers said. “We only have about 11,000 people who live in the city of Fredericksburg, but we have thousands more people coming in every day and supporting our budget with the sales taxes they’re paying.”
Myers pointed out that cities like Kerrville, Boerne and Marble Falls don’t collect as much in sales taxes.
Most in attendance were “appalled” and confused by the increase.
Robin Fleck, a business owner in Fredericksburg, also owns a business in Prescott, Arizona, also a tourist town. She operates out of a building in Prescott twice the size as the one in Fredericksburg, but pays almost the same amount in property taxes.
“My point is if your property appraisals go up (like Fredericksburg’s), then you should roll back, and I mean seriously roll back the percentage of tax,” Fleck said.
Annette Bennett was concerned about this, as well.
“I think that what happens is you begin to play a game with the taxpayers, which is the effective tax rate, the appraisals, etc., and it all gets very confusing,” Bennett said. “But the bottom line is that our appraisals keep going up, we keep getting new properties in town, new homes and new businesses, so there’s an extra pool to tax.”
Bennett said while locals should be seeing the property rate decrease because of those reasons, it continues to rise.
“I’m not asking for any justification. I’m just telling you that I’m here to stand strong against the proposed tax increase,” Bennett said.
Another concern frequently brought up was affordable housing. Some residents felt raising the property tax rate makes the idea of affordable housing more of a dream than a goal.
One commenter mentioned higher taxes being passed on to business owners who rent their property. He said employees are being taxed out of the market and may choose to relocate.
Before the meeting ended, resident Sandy Hollander said she wanted to go on record saying they were against the tax rate increase, and hopes the council will consider the public’s concerns before adopting the rate.
Council member Gary Neffendorf said he was happy with the attendance, and will consider the concerns. Mayor Linda Langerhans was also pleased with the turnout, and encouraged residents to keep showing up to special meetings and council meetings and if something is being done that a resident doesn’t agree with, he or she should voice their opinions at the meetings or call one of the council members.
Next tax rate public hearing will be in conjunction with the next city council meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, at the Law Enforcement Center, 1601 E. Main Street.
