Sibbecks Farm Glamping is a family run glamping site nestled in the heart of the Isle of Wight's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the south of the island.
Staying with us puts you in the heart of nature, with only a canvas between you and the great outdoors. But camping this is not! Each tent is fitted with modern luxurious amenities that offers the comfort of a top-quality hotel.
There are just two, well spread out, safari tents on site which can accommodate up to 7 people each. These are set in a wild meadow of about three acres with a small stream running through it. Each has its own large private area exclusively for the use of the guests of that tent.
Your accommodation is fitted with everything to make your stay luxurious. There are real beds with warm cosy duvets, a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, wood-burning stove, private shower/bathroom with hot running water, fluffy towels, games & books, and an outside veranda to admire the views of the beautiful Isle of Wight countryside from. Each tent also has an electricity supply.
Our aim is to provide everything you need for your stay so the only thing you need to bring is yourselves! Everything is here.
In addition we have converted a large barn that used to house a herd of cows into a play barn, which is particularly useful for a rainy day. In here you find swing ball, badminton, table football, and also a large number both adult & children’s scooters. These are available for use in the barn or for guests to take to one of the many seaside esplanades the island has to offer.
People enjoy their stays with us so much that last year 40% of the bookings were returning glampers or had been recommended by family and friends!

The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury has designated, pursuant to Executive Order 13871, twelve Iranian steel and metals producers, three non-Iran based sales agents of a major Iranian mining holding company, and a supplier of graphite electrodes to the Iranian steel industry.
According to OFAC, in the first six months of 2020 the Chinese graphite supplier, Kaifeng Pingmei New Carbon Materials Technology Co., Ltd. sent thousands of metric tons of material to several Iranian steel companies, including the Pasargard Steel Complex, the Gilan Steel Complex, and several metals and mining holding companies, which together produce millions of tons of steel billets and other metal products annually.
In a parallel action, the US Department of State has also sanctioned Kaifeng Pingmei, the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, and Majid Sajdeh pursuant to Section 1245(a)(1)(C)(II) of the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012, for having knowingly supplied graphite to or from Iran and ultimately to or from a person on the list of Specially Designated Nationals.
As a result of these sanctions, US property owned by the sanctioned entities is blocked, and OFAC regulations generally prohibit US persons from transacting with such property. In addition, persons who engage in certain transactions with designated persons may themselves be exposed to sanctions, and foreign financial institutions that knowingly facilitate transactions on behalf of designated persons could be subject to US correspondent or payable through account sanctions.

Cyclestreets – making crucial data available for campaigners
We’re really pleased to announce that we’ve been awarded an Outlandish Fellowship to help support development of tools for local cycle campaigners. We’re going to be expanding our collisions data pages into a broader resource covering more types of data (e.g. traffic counts, pollution) and add lots of new ways to access it.
Helping campaigners campaign
Getting more people cycling will lead to a more sustainable and efficient transport system, improved public health, and greater access to employment. However, in the UK, cities have failed to make space for cycling on our streets, preventing mass uptake.
We know, from our own activity as campaigners in Cambridge, that making a good evidence-base for reallocating roadspace or challenging poor developments involves significant work. For instance, developers often claim that their route has “good connections to the local cycle network” whereas in practice we know that this often means a shared-use path that is hard to access.
We lack the data to – for example – make a strong case that a combination of a high collision rate, congestion, pollution in an area means that a developer or a Local Authority needs to improve their plans. Solid data for specific cases also helps to back-up arguments based on broader policy, such as that cycling should be prioritised as a positive and healthy form of transport.
We’re aiming over time to build up a multifunctional resource to help build a case for improved cycling infrastructure, enabling users to a build and link to an interactive display of the relevant data (involving multiple layers, clickable points, reports, summary info) for a particular location or route, that they can use in their advocacy and liaison work.
Mark, better known as ‘Ranty Highwayman’ in cycle planning circles, said:
“The project looks really exciting. From my point of view, the ability to generate information from one place is a great idea as at the moment, it’s a really labour-intensive process, this could create maps for reports, committee papers etc.”
Our plan is that it would be available for embedding in local campaign websites, exporting to reports, used in apps, and so on.
What changes can people expect?
We’ve started from our collision data viewer as the base, and to this we’re adding:
- Completely reworking the search facility so that it’s actually useful – currently it’s stuck in a prototyped state, with lots of non-useful fields. This will mean that common scenarios like “Collisions between a date range in area X” are possible.
- Adding typical scenarios as new front-end ways to access it. Currently, it’s very map-based, whereas we want to enable common use-cases much more easily.
- Making everything Local Authority -aware. Currently it’s all manual boundaries, but we’d like users to be able to do things like compare casualty rates (and other data – see below) between areas.
- Upgrading the interface. We’ve now got some nice new icons for a start 🙂
- Adding a better way to import the data. Currently, updating it each year is not as easy as we’d like, and new data types (see below) need to be supported.
- Adding generalised origin-destination data for areas, using analysis from our own journey planner
- Adding traffic count data, from the DfT
- More data (in future – after the current Fellowship work)
- Adding the ability to switch between multiple layers of data
- Making all the above available through a more generalised Advocacy data API. In fact, this will be the system powering all the above!
- Adding the ability to embed custom views of the data in other sites
The code will be open source too 🙂
We’ll be giving updates via this blog over the coming 6 weeks – stay tuned!

Hector Sants, the chief executive of the Financial Services Authority, has warned the banking sector that the regulator will respond quickly and decisively to future transgressions.
Mr Sants said that while the FSA will continue to operate as ‘an evidence-based and risk-based regime’, but a tougher stance is required to ensure that consumers are protected.
Mr Sants added: ‘A principles-based approach does not work with individuals who have no principles.’
The FSA has come under intense criticism from financial commentators and the media in recent months for failing to reign in the City during the boom years.
While conceding that a more gung-ho approach may lead to errors in judgement, Mr Sants justified the harder line, telling bankers: ‘There is a view that people are not frightened of the FSA. I can assure you that this is a view I am determined to correct. People should be very frightened of the FSA.’
Dominic Lindley, principal policy advisor at Which? said: ‘We hope that this speech marks an end of the cosy relationship the FSA has had with the financial services industry. The rhetoric needs to be backed with tough action against firms which are not treating their customers fairly. Consumers need more effective enforcement, higher fines and greater use of naming and shaming.’

The baseball/softball field at McLaughlin Park was bulldozed recently as part of Bridgeville’s flood prevention initiative.
The former ballfield location was lowered by six feet and reshaped so that it becomes a retention pond during heavy rains, soaking up creekwater that would otherwise head towards the Baldwin Street area.
As of today, there is no plan to rebuild a baseball diamond in McLaughlin Park. But that doesn’t mean that borough officials have ruled out the idea.
“As far as I know, we haven’t decided anything yet,” said councilman Joe Colosimo, who sits on the parks committee. “It’s still up in the air budget-wise and whatnot, whether we need a new ballfield.”
Colosimo was concerned that a recent Signal-Item report might have suggested already decided against a baseball diamond .
If the borough takes no action, that land would simply become a plain, grassy field in the spring.
“We just haven’t made a decision yet,” Colosimo said.

The future of transportation on Long Island is quieter and cleaner. Two Long Island officials made announcements about test-running electric-powered, clean energy vehicles on Monday, just days before Earth Day 2021, and personal electric cars are on the rise, as well.
A 2020 study by a coalition called Drive Electric Long Island found that 30 percent of New York’s electric vehicles are owned on Long Island, despite Long Islanders comprising 15 percent of the population. Village of East Hampton, which has the second highest number of Tesla electric vehicles on Long Island, decided at its April 1 meeting to install more of Tesla’s electric car charging stations for the increase in Tesla vehicles. Roslyn has the highest number of Tesla electric cars on Long Island, according to the company.
“We’ve seen a lot of growth in our market on Long Island, especially on the eastern end,” said Shiva Krishna, a marketing representative from Tesla. “Just going out there a couple weekends ago, I couldn’t believe how many Teslas I saw driving around.”
But it’s not just cars — the Long Island Rail Road announced on Monday that it will be testing battery-operated train cars within the next month. No passengers will be aboard the trial runs, but they will give the LIRR a clearer picture of how to proceed with clean energy going forward.
The LIRR is working with Alstom, a European transportation technology company, to first analyze the possibility of attaching a battery to an electric rail car that could enable it to run on the LIRR’s diesel tracks. After about eight months, they will be tested on the Oyster Bay branch. LIRR officials believe they are the first in North America to test this type of technology.
“People have been talking about extending electrification to various segments of the railroad for generations,” said Phillip Eng, president of the LIRR. “Embracing new technology might allow us to essentially electrify the entire railroad without the need for billions of dollars in massive capital investments.”
Another near first-of-its-kind, clean vehicle is coming to the Town of Hempstead, which will test New York City’s Mack LR electric garbage truck later this year. New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) started its own tests with the truck in fall 2020.
Though no further details were announced, town officials said the pilot program is part of the town’s “Vision 2040” agenda to convert the town’s entire vehicle fleet to electric.
“As manufacturers race to devise the latest green technology, we at the Town of Hempstead are thrilled to take the proactive step by piloting this cutting-edge Mack LR Electric Garbage truck by the end of this year,” said Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said. “As part of ‘Vision 2040,’ we plan to pilot more clean energy vehicles across our various departments, pursue grants and incentives, and implement the necessary infrastructure required to maintain a successful electric fleet.”

Location: Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research
Project Number: 3625-21000-056-02-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jul 29, 2008
End Date: Jun 28, 2013
1)Coordinate collaboration between farmers, and USDA-ARS and Michael Fields Agricultural Institute researchers to research, select, produce and test improved corn varieties for sustainable agriculture; 2)Organize farmer-to-farmer networking and educational opportunities through on-farm research, field days and yearly meetings; and 3)Provide farmer cooperators a platform to increase awareness and interest about the use of and the need for these corn varieties.
PFI will interact with a team including USDA-ARS, ISU scientists, and MFAI. PFI will identify farmer cooperators in coordination with MFAI, who will work with technicians and researchers to prepare field test sites and begin selecting corn varieties on-farm. Researchers will train farmer cooperators in on-farm selection techniques and requirements for test-site preparation. PFI will organize a winter meeting specifically focused to update stakeholders of the project on breeding accomplishments, variety improvements, and tasks for the following year. PFI will organize summer field days to demonstrate the different varieties and have farmers present field research findings about variety comparisons. PFI will facilitate on-farm research from design to implementation to analysis of results. Additionally, PFI will continue to coordinate seed increases and feeding trials. We will work closely with ISU Animal Science department and local feed mills to formulate and test new diets using these corn varieties.

Don't be alarmed: this is not an exhaustive list. It's for my own reflection and why not have you read it, too?
Movies I saw in the theater in 2012:
The Hunger Games. Once in Dubai and once at the Bagdad Theater in Portland which was really more about the theater than the movie.
The Avengers. I went to see this by myself when Jeremy and the girls were in the US. The movie had been out for a while and it was like a midnight showing at The Dubai Mall but it was packed. And the audience LOVED The Hulk. Every time he came on screen there was an audible excited reaction. It was bizarre. Is that a Middle East thing?
The Bourne Legacy. Portland.
Skyfall. Dubai. This is the second time we've gone to see a Bond movie on/around our anniversary (Casino Royale was the first). I loved the Jane Eyre-ness of Skyfall, didn't you?
As for stuff I watched on YouTube or iTunes rentals, I didn't keep track but mostly I watched Downton Abbey (season 2) and The Amazing Race. Also Sherlock. On Friday nights in December, Jeremy and I started watching (via YouTube) survival/wilderness shows featuring Ray Mears for some reason.
That's it. Four movies in the theater is about average for us. It's trickier here in the UAE because movie crowds are horribly misbehaved and Jeremy is hardly ever willing to go. Plus, the theaters are often freezing cold (I assume to accommodate those who are wearing abayas/veils) and the sound is always so loud. Pro tip: bring a hoodie and earplugs. Really.

Thousands went to the government center last Saturday, hoping to get lucky and avail financial assistance from the Department of Social Services and Development (DSSD).
But Lady Luck had a different plan. Not only did she suspend the giving of assistance, she made it into a dangerous gathering in aid of COVID.
When news broke out, many people turned to social media venting their anger and ranted against the people who went there, the DSSD, particularly its head, PacitaTero, and Mayor Bing Leonardia and the city government.
Who’s to blame?
The people? When interviewed those who were there said, they heard from someone that they had to line-up as numbers will be given out so they can avail some assistance. Footages showed they came donning masks, some with face shields, but with thousands gathered, there was no social distancing and the crowd was already uncontrollable.
In her statement, Tero said there were people who “intentionally or unintentionally spread misinformation that gave false hope to those who came hoping to be selected.” Furthermore, she said that in this age of “fake news,” people should get information only from “official sources.”
First of all, the news that DSSD was giving assistance wasn’t fake as Tero herself admitted that they have been selecting beneficiaries and have in fact released P2.5 million already. The only reason why they did it this way was because they were instructed not to course it through the barangays because of the controversial SAP distribution.
Secondly, Tero said in a radio interview that prior to the Saturday gathering, DSSD already met with heads of various sectors like the transport group, the entertainment industry and massage workers to identify those who need financial assistance especially if they have been displaced for months due to the pandemic.
Well, those are not clearly “official sources” and if word spread around, they have no one to blame butthemselves. At a time when people are clearly hungry because of the lockdown, they cling to hope, false or not, and risked their lives in the process out of desperation.
For Tero to even state that they are now contemplating to draw names off from a tambiolo, so that they can equally distribute assistance, was just the height of idiocy. If it was meant as a joke, that Saturday event was not laughable but a disaster that they created and should not be taken lightly with such senseless remarks.
Ironically, none of our city officials came out right after the incident, to address the issue or even berate the DSSD that such should not happen again. The fact that the incident occurred at the City Hall grounds meant that the local government knew that distribution of numbers are taking place because such gatherings, though not of that magnitude, also happened last Thursday and Friday.
Rather, Councilor Lady Gles Gonzales-Pallen even washed her hands off the incident saying the barangays had no knowledge and their task was simply to provide certifications to would-be beneficiaries. Ah, but some said the barangays informed them to go there.
Tero said the order not to course it through the local government units came from the DSWD office. That shows a disconnect between the national government agencies and the LGUs which has been the main problem from the start.
It also indicates mistrust for local officials which is probably why Mayor Bing was the butt of ranting in social media even with the fact that the city government was not at all involved in the distribution program.
The fact that the mayor failed to address that incident immediately also led many people to believe that he is out of touch with what’s happening on the ground. A post from the city information office that same day showed pictures of food packs for distribution to those who have been affected under the MECQ.
In that post, it said Mayor Bing ordered the DSSD to distribute these to the various sectors identified. The very agency that already said they have limited personnel to send around to identify beneficiaries for their financial assistance program, thus that mass gathering.Seven months into the pandemic, don’t we have a better system than order a clearly unreliable agency?
In a post that had been shared by many, Millie Kilayko of Negrense Volunteers for Change compared their own orderly distribution of meal bags for transport groups to that of the DSSD gathering. Order was established by giving time slots per barangay and per association to pick-up the donation.
NVC is a small organization and Millie was right in pointing out how a highly urbanized city with its vast resources failed to implement order and discipline when all it takes is “common sense.”
Millie added, “The day after this debacle, it was said that this was a prank and not initiated officially by the city government. My take is this: if there was any effort to make sure that all those who ran to NGC were not hungry at the START of MECQ, and if communication lines were open all throughout, would there have been need for a prank?”
Couldn’t say it any better than that.*

"We are not ignoring the critical issue of the protection of life. On the contrary, we invited him [Obama to the Notre Dame commencement and to receive an honorary law degree] because we care so much about those issues, and we hope for this to be the basis of an engagement with him," Jenkins said.
"You cannot change the world if you shun the people you want to persuade, and if you cannot persuade them show respect for them and listen to them," he said.
The last paragraph makes sense from an apologetics perspective.
The first paragraph is rot...unless, of course, the Notre Dame president and his faculty and students plan to engage the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history in a discussion about, say, when life begins. Now, this might be difficult for Obama, seeing that this question is, in his opinion, "above his pay grade."
President Obama is "an inspiring leader who has taken leadership of the country facing many challenges: two wars, a really troubled economy, he has issues with health care, immigration, education reform, and he has addressed those with intelligence, courage and honesty," Jenkins said.Methinks thou doth protest too much, Padre. Anyway, what you say is up for debate, at best. I have no evidence that the soon-to-be honored president has addressed any of this issues with either courage nor honesty. Intelligence? No argument there, the guy's one smart cookie.
Obama's historic election as the first black president in American history adds to the honor of his acceptance of Notre Dame's invitation, he said.This is pure and simple racism in my opinion. 'Course I was always taught not to judge someone by his or her race, creed, or national origin.
I guess Father Jenkins wasn't impressed by my letter, sheesh.

Oregon doubles the national average when it comes to placing women in trades apprenticeship programs, but there is still a long way to go on the path to equality, advocates and government officials say.
At a Wednesday event organized as part of National Apprenticeship Week, elected officials, union leaders and others touted Oregon's leadership and the receipt of a $3 million federal grant to develop apprenticeship programs in the advanced manufacturing industry.
Overall numbers of female apprenticeships remain low, however, and a recent study by two Portland State University professors found that many women see workplace discrimination and harassment as barriers to completing apprenticeships in the male-dominated highway trades.
"My takeaway is that we can be happy about progress we've made while recognizing our challenges and committing to do something about them," said Leigh McIlvaine, a project manager at Oregon Tradeswomen Inc., a co-sponsor of Wednesday's program.
The Obama administration and the U.S. Department of Labor this year committed to doubling the number of registered apprenticeships over a five-year period, and hope to double the percentage of female apprentices during that time as a way of creating more high-wage, middle-class jobs without the burden of college debt.
In September, the Labor Department awarded $175 million in American Apprenticeship Grants to train and hire more than 34,000 new apprentices in industries such as health care, IT, and advanced manufacturing. With its $3 million grant, Oregon aims to create 300 apprenticeships in advanced manufacturing in the next five years, said Shalee Hodgson, an Oregon Employment Department manager.
In Oregon, 6.9 percent of all trade apprenticeships are held by women, compared to 3.2 percent in the 25 states whose apprenticeship programs are directly managed by the U.S. Labor Department.
A Diversity in the Construction Trades Summit is scheduled Thursday, Nov. 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Portland Community College, Cascade Campus, 705 N. Killingsworth St.
Organizers say the summit will provide information and an opportunity for dialogue among procurement staff, project managers, general contractors and others involved in developing and implementing workforce diversity in contracting.
In those federally managed states, nearly 75 percent of registered apprenticeship programs still do not have a single woman, while in Oregon the figure is 50 percent, said Connie Ashbrook, executive director of Oregon Tradeswomen.
Oregon Tradeswomen began in the late 1980s as an organization providing mentoring and support for women working in the blue-collar trades. In 2004, it began a training program with federal and state funding aimed at helping low-income women break the gender barrier.
The organization offers a seven-week program to help clients land an apprenticeship or entry-level work in a number of traditionally male occupations, and produces about 80 program graduates annually, McIlvaine said.
Rose Swartz, 32, attended Wednesday's program at the Sheet Metal Institute in outer Northeast Portland with her Oregon Tradeswomen classmates. The former English teacher said she is attracted to carpentry.
"I feel optimistic, but I also feel it's really hard work," Swartz said. "I don't have any misconceptions."
Maura Kelly, an assistant professor of sociology at Portland State, led a recent study of the highway trades that found women and people of color experience significantly more discrimination than white men enrolled in similar apprenticeship programs. Many of those interviewed said they were assigned low-skill tasks such as flagging or sweeping while others received training in heavy equipment or skilled tasks that could help them complete their apprenticeships.
In addition, some female apprentices reported unwanted sexual attention or unwelcoming attitudes to their presence on job sites.
A 2014 report praised Oregon as one of two states making exemplary efforts to improve diversity in the highway construction trades, notably by dedicating a portion of its federal highway funding for training and support services for women and minorities. Having the state pay for such things as child care expenses, mileage, tools and clothing makes it more likely that women can continue their apprenticeships, the report by the Institute for Women's Policy Research found.
In a separate 2014 report assessing the state's efforts to develop a more diverse skilled workforce in the highway trades, PSU's Kelly and two co-authors said "hostile and intolerant workplace environments are common" and a major impediment to the recruitment and retention of women and people of color.
Women apprentices who received financial support services completed their apprenticeships at nearly twice the rate of women who did not - 61 percent versus 31 percent - but childcare topped the list of challenges facing apprentices, with more than 75 percent saying it was a problem, the report said.
"I'm definitely optimistic about the future of women in the trades," Kelly said, citing progress in outreach and recruitment and the availability of state-provided support services. Plus, the construction culture is changing as older workers leave the industry and are replaced by younger men who are more accepting of gender equality, she said.
"The idea that this is a white, working class occupation is still there, certainly," Kelly said. "But there are starting to be some shifts in that culture."

Bible text may take a little more time to load. Please wait for it, thank you!
English Standard Version
Eliphaz Speaks: The Innocent Prosper
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
Yet who can keep from speaking?
3 Behold, you have instructed many,
and you have strengthened the weak hands.
4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
and you have made firm the feeble knees.
5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
it touches you, and you are dismayed.
6 Is not your fear of God[a] your confidence,
and the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember: who that was innocent ever perished?
Or where were the upright cut off?
8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity
and sow trouble reap the same.
9 By the breath of God they perish,
and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
10 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion,
the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12 “Now a word was brought to me stealthily;
my ear received the whisper of it.
13 Amid thoughts from visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
14 dread came upon me, and trembling,
which made all my bones shake.
15 A spirit glided past my face;
the hair of my flesh stood up.
16 It stood still,
but I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
there was silence, then I heard a voice:
17 ‘Can mortal man be in the right before[b] God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
18 Even in his servants he puts no trust,
and his angels he charges with error;
19 how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed like[c] the moth.
20 Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces;
they perish forever without anyone regarding it.
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them,
do they not die, and that without wisdom?’
“Call now; is there anyone who will answer you?
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 Surely vexation kills the fool,
and jealousy slays the simple.
3 I have seen the fool taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
4 His children are far from safety;
they are crushed in the gate,
and there is no one to deliver them.
5 The hungry eat his harvest,
and he takes it even out of thorns,[d]
and the thirsty pant[e] after his[f] wealth.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 but man is born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward.
8 “As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,
9 who does great things and unsearchable,
marvelous things without number:
10 he gives rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
11 he sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
and injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he binds up;
he shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no evil[g] shall touch you.
20 In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be hidden from the lash of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
and shall not fear the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is at peace,
and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
25 You shall know also that your offspring shall be many,
and your descendants as the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in ripe old age,
like a sheaf gathered up in its season.
27 Behold, this we have searched out; it is true.
Hear, and know it for your good.”[h]
Job Replies: My Complaint Is Just
Then Job answered and said:
2 “Oh that my vexation were weighed,
and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea;
therefore my words have been rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass,
or the ox low over his fodder?
6 Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt,
or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?[i]
7 My appetite refuses to touch them;
they are as food that is loathsome to me.[j]
8 “Oh that I might have my request,
and that God would fulfill my hope,
9 that it would please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my comfort;
I would even exult[k] in pain unsparing,
for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13 Have I any help in me,
when resource is driven from me?
14 “He who withholds[l] kindness from a friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential streams that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17 When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into the waste and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema look,
the travelers of Sheba hope.
20 They are ashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are disappointed.
21 For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary's hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless’?
24 “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
25 How forceful are upright words!
But what does reproof from you reprove?
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
when the speech of a despairing man is wind?
27 You would even cast lots over the fatherless,
and bargain over your friend.
28 “But now, be pleased to look at me,
for I will not lie to your face.
29 Please turn; let no injustice be done.
Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
30 Is there any injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope
“Has not man a hard service on earth,
and are not his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 Like a slave who longs for the shadow,
and like a hired hand who looks for his wages,
3 so I am allotted months of emptiness,
and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
4 When I lie down I say, ‘When shall I arise?’
But the night is long,
and I am full of tossing till the dawn.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt;
my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle
and come to their end without hope.
7 “Remember that my life is a breath;
my eye will never again see good.
8 The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;
while your eyes are on me, I shall be gone.
9 As the cloud fades and vanishes,
so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;
10 he returns no more to his house,
nor does his place know him anymore.
11 “Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster,
that you set a guard over me?
13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,’
14 then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
15 so that I would choose strangling
and death rather than my bones.
16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
17 What is man, that you make so much of him,
and that you set your heart on him,
18 visit him every morning
and test him every moment?
19 How long will you not look away from me,
nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?
20 If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?
Why have you made me your mark?
Why have I become a burden to you?
21 Why do you not pardon my transgression
and take away my iniquity?
For now I shall lie in the earth;
you will seek me, but I shall not be.”

1 Corinthians 14:20-40
English Standard Version
20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign[a] not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.
26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. 27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. 33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
As in all the churches of the saints, 34 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. 38 If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. 39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But all things should be done decently and in order.
- 1 Corinthians 14:22 Greek lacks a sign
English Standard Version
The Lord Will Not Forsake His People
O Lord, God of vengeance,
O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
repay to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner,
and murder the fatherless;
7 and they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
English Standard Version
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
13 On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found,
but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.
14 The wise lay up knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.
15 A rich man's wealth is his strong city;
the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
16 The wage of the righteous leads to life,
the gain of the wicked to sin.

Gary Gensler to Focus on AI, “We Can Get to Crypto Later”
Crypto can wait as there’s a bigger fish to fry, US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) chairperson Gary Gensler recently said. Notably, the man leading the crypto crackdown in the US believes that artificial intelligence (AI) is a priority regarding regulations because it is “the most transformative technology of this generation.”
AI Can Obscure the Identity of Wrongdoers, Gensler Argues
Gary Gensler, chair of the US top securities regulator, believes artificial intelligence is a matter notably more essential to focus on than cryptocurrencies. Although the crypto space continues to be plagued with scams, hacks, and money laundering activities, AI presents more significant financial risks to US residents, according to Gensler.
“This is the most transformative technology of this generation. There’s a ‘there’ there—we can get to crypto later. We’re taking so much of what we humans do on a daily basis and automating it.”– Gensler says.
Gensler brought up several significant risks the ongoing AI boom brings to financial markets, such as mass automation, which can have cascading ramifications for trillions of dollars in assets that trade on markets monitored by the SEC. While AI-generated investment recommendations can help financial institutions provide a better customer experience, this nascent technology can also be misused to conceal who’s at fault when things go wrong, says Gensler.
Last month, China became the first global nation to introduce regulations on generative AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Alphabet’s Google Bard. The new law represents the first and most comprehensive regulatory framework regulating powerful AI chatbots.

EU Leading Efforts to Regulate AI in the West, US Yet to Catch Up
China’s new law will come into force on August 15 and will apply to all generative AI solutions, including those that produce text, video, audio, and image content. The move comes a few months after China published an early draft of AI rules and asked citizens for feedback.
However, the regulations seem to have a more friendly approach to the burgeoning technology. The Chinese government has pledged “to take effective measures to encourage innovative development of generative AI.” Further, penalties like “fines ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 yuan” for AI-related offenses have been removed.
Elsewhere, the European Union (EU) is currently leading the race to regulate AI among Western countries, with its Artificial Intelligence Act closer to becoming law. Meanwhile, the US has yet to release a comprehensive set of rules to regulate the technology.
Do you agree with Gensler’s views that global leaders should prioritize regulating AI over crypto? Let us know in the comments below.

Custom metal racks designed and fabricated for industrial processes and material handling including powder coating, plating, and painting. Need a fix? We can refurbish existing metal racks to keep your operation running on time.
Custom metal products designed and fabricated for retail displays including metal store displays, gondola store fixture accessories, and wire racks.
We provide finishing services for your product or packaging components, full assembly and packaging services, and parts kitting customized to your specifications.
Too much to do? If you have a big project, a tight timeline, and need help getting it done right, outsource your specialty metal and assembly needs to us. We’ll be an extension of your team that delivers product and services that ensure that you and your customers are thrilled.
Design: Produced a prototype that allowed the carrier to hold 5 parts instead of 3 and it was approved for production.
Precision: Because parts were loaded and unloaded using automated equipment, the exact location of the parts on the carrier were critical to its success.
Delivery: The customer’s monorail process needed to be in continuous use during the transition to the new parts carrier. Busch & Thiem created and coordinated a process that allowed the customer to rotate out existing racks and to receive the new modified racks. The staggered production and delivery schedule included frequent Saturday loads and unloads to keep their line operational during the week.Busch & Thiem worked with the customer to protect their business. Our design allowed the customer to modify and upcycle existing racks which saved time and money. And we created a production schedule and delivery system that enabled the customer to keep their lineup and running at full production.
Busch & Thiem was contracted to produce tire display units based on a dimensional design submitted by the customer. Busch & Thiem was responsible for creating the structural design to meet the specifications. The display unit was to hold 4 forklift truck tires in a tubular structure similar to a bike rack.
Once the first display was formed and ready to weld, the customer brought tires to our shop to check the fit before final production. Due to an error in the customer’s drawing geometry, the tires did not fit the frame. We needed to fix the problem.
Start from scratch and redesign? The customer suggested that we make additional brackets and remake the tubing. That would have added significant cost, not to mention weeks to the delivery date. Given a few hours of think time and sketching, the team at Busch & Thiem offered a solution that only required modification of the existing structure. Through a calculated shortening of the existing tube structure, we changed the point of contact which made the tires fit. The modified design salvaged the already formed tubes and only added a couple of days to the delivery date. Additional costs were kept to a minimum because much of the initial work was saved.

Tax filing season starts Jan. 30
The IRS says late changes to federal tax laws should mean just a short delay for most taxpayers to file their 2012 returns and for most filers the tax filing season beings January 30. About 120 million taxpayers, or about 80% of all filers, should be able to send their returns in by that day. Others will have to wait until late February or early March to file because the IRS needs time to update and test its new system. Those are filers claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. The filing season changed from January 22 because of the tax package passed by Congress in the fiscal cliff negotiations.

Networking Embroidery Machines
Tajima DG/ML Software by Pulse provides a dynamic Plug & Play LAN networking connection function, supported by Tajima’s new embroidery machines. This software vastly improves the existing embroidery machine network connections functionality. Now designs are quickly transmitted to the machines, proving for easy and immediate production, greatly improving efficiency. This almost instantaneous design transmittal holds true even if you have many designs or change them frequently. One computer running Tajima DG/ML by Pulse can manage a single or multiple embroidery machines, sending the same design to all embroidery machines or separate designs to individual designated embroidery machines simultaneously… all viewable on the DG/ML Screen, so managing even the most complex production shop is a breeze. If you use the Clustering function, you can divide the machines in your shop into various groups and assign the same design to each group, for even more production efficiencies. Because DG/ML is designed specifically for Tajima equipment, the LAN embroidery network adopts Tajima’s TBF format. This format contains many command functions of Tajima embroidery machines, dramatically reducing the time and effort to manage settings and operations of the equipment. For example, there is no need to set the colour change sequence by reviewing the worksheet very time a design changes. Instead, DG/ML allows colour change sequence to be set by specifying certain threads on individual embroidery machines, dramatically reducing the time and effort to manage settings and operations of the equipment. DG/ML also allows the use of bar codes to search for specific designs saving labour and time for the embroiderer. The bar code reader connects directly to a Tajima machine and by reading a bar code printed on the work sheet, the specified design will be pulled from your folder by DG/ML immediately to the machine.
In order to meet the needs of their customers Tajima strive to improve their development...

What is Museo Horne?
Museo Horne is a private collection turned into a priceless piece of shared heritage.
Museo Horne History
Florence has had more than its share of eccentric bon vivant Anglophones who have been won over by the city’s charms and style of living – it’s a tradition that continues into the present day. Herbert Horne was just one in a long line of English-speaking Italophiles, but this art historian, architect, poet, designer and antiquarian made a notable impact on his adopted city.
A man of myriad talents and enthusiasms, Horne took a keen interest in the Italian Renaissance and its traditions. Born in London in 1864 and trained as an architect, he amassed a significant art collection after uprooting his life to Florence in 1905. A few years later, he decided to transform the former Palazzo Corsi on Via dei Benci – best known to casual visitors today as the street that leads to Santa Croce – into a museum, designed to replicate the ambience of town houses in the Renaissance period he so adored.
The sheer variety and scope of Horne’s connoisseurship is impressive: you’ll find a triptych by Pietro Lorenzetti, sculptural work by Giambologna, and pieces by Filippo and Filippino Lippi, while the archives house drawings and prints by Raphael and Reubens, among others. Distinguishing the Horne from more standard museums, however, is its extensive collection of furniture and accessories, from lavish historical tapestries to eclectic trinkets. In addition to all this there is the underlying sense that you’re moving through someone’s carefully curated yet cosy home.
This may well be the most distinctive facet of the Horne Museum – it somehow feels both like a showcase and an intimate space. With its range of fine sculptures and masterworks, like Giotto’s tempera-on-gold-ground painting of Saint Stephen (the one you’ll spot on all the brochures and signage) and the dark-hued Deposition by Benozzo Gozzoli, it’s hard to forget where you are. But the home furnishings and private, domestic setting, with flourishes like mirror holders and sewing needles, make it all feel more like an individual’s cabinet of curiosities than a civic museum.
Don’t skip the second floor: here Horne designed an additional space, the library, which today is home to nearly 5,000 books. (In his London days, he was friendly with Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, among others.) The library was created primarily to serve as his personal study, and he duly lined it with both valuable antique volumes and modern editions.

Sears faces class-action lawsuit by operators of its Hometown franchises
|Report an Error|
Share via Email
Sears Canada Inc. and its American counterpart are facing a class-action lawsuit by owners of its Hometown franchises, who allege the retailer has deprived them of the opportunity to make a reasonable profit.
The lawsuit was filed by the owner of a Sears Hometown store in Woodstock, Ont., on behalf of about 260 franchise operators across Canada.
It claims Hometown store dealers have seen their sales and profits erode over the past three years.
The lawsuit alleges that Sears lowered dealers’ commissions, reduced advertising for local stores and bypassed the franchises by selling directly to customers who are located within their markets.
The dealers also claim that Sears is setting their compensation and work conditions, without abiding by labour laws or franchise protection laws.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
