European Winter Tyre Slump May Continue in 2008
According to Deutsche Bank’s Equity Research Automotive Group, the dismal year for winter tyres experienced by our German neighbours may well be repeated in 2008. The winter tyre market represents 55 million units, 20 per cent of Europe’s replacement market. Half of these high margin products are sold in Germany, and in 2007 the winter tyre market decreased by 15 per cent, and by a substantial 30 per cent in the fourth quarter alone. As a result, winter tyre pricing is reported to be negative, and both manufacturers and dealers retain substantial stock levels in inventory. This situation is perhaps of particular concern to Germany’s Continental tyre, for which winter tyres represent approximately 17 per cent of passenger car tyre sales.

100% would recommend it to a friend
Stayed in apartment, plenty of room, comfy suite.
Full English to die for!
The hotel met our needs perfectly; we wanted to stay close to the family in a warm, clean comfortable room with very comfortable beds and it met our needs in every way.
The only slight problem we encountered was some knocking in the hot water pipe to the shower/bath but my husband stopped the noise by turning the shower knob 90 degrees - fortunately otherwise it could have kept us awake. That needs fixing. Apart from that, a warm welcome and a great night's sleep will bring us back again!
Very large and well furnished rooms with a great breakfast.
A wedding was on during our stay but you could not hear the music from our room.
An excellent evening.
Well looked after, well fed and well slept. Thank you all for your excellent service. A real winner and will definitely return!
Enjoyed our stay at Rudstone Walk beautiful country side and surrounding villages south cave ,walkington .Ideal location would defiantly stay there again everyone really friendly nothing to much trouble was able to check in early as cottage was ready , thank you .

Molten hues were all over the Autumn Winter catwalks and being the fashion maven that she is, Sarah Jessica Parker has been giving us all a lesson in how to perfect the look for downtime.
She's stepped out in two lust-worthy metallic blazers this week. First up was an emerald-green foil-effect blazer, and yesterday she turned to a gold bomber by Zadig & Voltaire on the school run. Both were expertly dressed-down with a tee, skinny jeans and ballet pumps.
We'll be stealing her style, pronto.

HOMEWOOD, Alabama - Phillip Ervin's only chance to play Division I baseball came from Samford, and in three weeks he'll likely be the highest drafted player from the state of Alabama.
And if you're in Birmingham and want to see him play up close and in person, this Thursday and Friday is your last chance.
Ervin and the Bulldogs host Davidson in a three-game series where Samford is battling for its Southern Conference postseason life. It's likely that just one win in the three-game set, beginning with a Thursday doubleheader at 4 p.m. and ending with a Friday single game at 4, will get the Bulldogs into the SoCon Tournament.
That's the focus for Ervin, a five-tool player who is projected as a first-round Major League Baseball Draft pick in the three-day event which begins on June 6.
"I'm mainly just trying to keep it in the back of my mind," Ervin said. "I take one step at a time. We need to get in this tournament so we can get back to the NCAA regional.
"I try not to think about the draft because I don't want to get my hopes up."
A recent SI.com mock draft had Ervin as the 18th overall pick. Samford's MLB Draft record came last year when Brandon Miller was picked in the fourth round. Over the last three years, Samford has put 12 guys into professional baseball.
Ervin came to Samford from Class 2A state power Leroy, though a torn ACL from football derailed much of his senior season. He led Samford to the postseason last year, as the Bulldogs finished second in the Tallahassee, Fla., regional, then won MVP honors at the prestigious wood bat Cape Cod League over the summer.
This year, Ervin is hitting .348 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs. He's been pitched around plenty, as his .471 on-base percentage leads the Southern Conference. Samford has dealt with injuries and inconsistency on the pitching staff and takes a 26-26 record, 11-15 in conference play, into this weekend's series.
"He's helped take us to new levels on the field in terms of what he's done," Samford head coach Casey Dunn said. "Long term, the impact he can have on our program is huge.
"Success he's had on campus and the success he's had in the cape by winning the MVP honor brought a lot of notoriety to our program and placed our program on a national stage. Depending on how the draft unfolds, he has a chance to again place Samford baseball at the forefront of the college scene and really bring a lot of positive recognition to our university."
Samford assistant Tony David previously coached at Bayside Academy and knew about Ervin when he was young, so the Bulldogs jumped on him early. Alabama and Auburn knew about Ervin, but never offered. Certainly, both programs would love to have a player of Ervin's stature, but Samford has benefited.
Dunn actually sold Ervin on Samford by using the Tim Hudson model. The current Atlanta Braves pitcher played with Dunn at Auburn and excelled as a pitcher and a hitter. Ervin said he would have been all for pitching - and he's pitched sparingly - but became too good of a hitter and stuck at the position where he'll play professionally.
"At the time we recruited him, we really thought he would be a dynamic guy on the mound for us, which I think he could have been," Dunn said. "Had he not excelled so much as a hitter, he probably could have as a pitcher.
"We expected him to do special things here. The day he committed to us, we knew we were getting something really good."
Ervin said he started off slow, pressing too much to live up to the outside expectations, but settled down around the time he hit two home runs in an 8-0 win over Purdue earlier this year. His top memory will be from last year, when he hit .327 with 10 home runs and 52 RBIs on a team that's now regarded as the school's best baseball team ever.
"It means a lot," Ervin said. "I can always say I was part of the best team that was at Samford. The things we accomplished were amazing. It was a great feeling."
Of all the tools Ervin possesses, it's the bat speed that stands out the most, Dunn said.
"If you talk to pro scouts, they'll tell you his bat speed is off the charts," Dunn said. "The bat speed he is able to create is better than most, and that's the thing that's going to jump out at you. He has an above-average throwing arm in the outfield. He has a chance to hit with power but has the speed to play center field, which not a lot of people do. That's pushed him from a tools standpoint very high. The fact is, he's a very good hitter and he was able to show that for three years here.
"He showed that in the Cape, too, not just hitting for power but hitting for a good average, too and not striking out a lot. He really showed the ability to be a polished college hitter."

This is because European countries which incur costs due to the medical treatment of British people living there, already claim those costs back from the NHS; indeed, this they do both fervently and enthusiastically.
So there would be no new costs involved, since the NHS already picks up the bill for their treatment.
As if yet another example of how the liberal media seize on any apparent bad news story regarding leaving the E.E.C. and subsequently blindly running and following it were needed, Adam Boulton on the explicitly pro-European Sky News, gleefully announced today a report by the Nuffield Trust which gave the figures.
Well, they would say that.
Because they're a private healthcare company.
Some journalism that is, Mr. Boulton.
However, apart from overlooking the obvious, inherent bias and self-interest of the report, there is another glaringly obvious flaw in their argument.
Politicians spend all their time denying there are any costs associated with immigration; apparently it's all gain for Britain.
In particular, they vehemently deny that foreigners cost the NHS virtually anything.
Yet if it were true that a possible, paltry few thousand returning ex-patriots would cost the NHS a billion pounds, then this highlights an anomaly which can't go ignored.
On their logic, the 3 million or more foreigners that have come to Britain over the last 10 years or so must therefore cost the NHS at least 3 billion pounds a year.
They can't have it both ways.
And we know that the NHS does not bother recovering the cost of treatment for foreigners, from their native countries.
Probably because they're frightened it would be 'racist', no doubt.

Notes From a Father-Daughter Trip
MY PARENTS DIVORCED when I was three. I stood to the side while my dad tried to figure out how to adjust the pleats of my school uniform. “I’ve never ironed a skirt before,” he said. In a row of girls wearing black leather shoes and lace socks, I wore hiking boots and wool. Neither one of us had ever heard of starching a skirt.
With divorce came dating, then step-parents and an ever-changing mix of families. Only our father-daughter trips remained the same.
In the passenger seat of a beat-up Pathfinder, I tapped my feet against the floorboards and listened as he told stories. He always did the accents. We spent hours driving across state lines, exploring wide expanses of public land.
He took me to the woods before I learned to walk. Sitting on weather-beaten picnic benches, we watched the Pacific roll into the rocks and then slide back again. We read Mark Twain and Thoreau, stared at the stars, followed one another’s bobbing headlamps into the damp corridors of underground caves, stretching out afterwards on warm rocks, watching the lazy flight patterns of turkey vultures.
In Colorado, riding along a dusty horizon with the scent of burned cattle hair clinging to our clothes, he commented on the weather, the scenery, the horses, the food. I kept my thoughts to myself. The more people pushed, the more I retreated. My dad learned to wait.
On the shores of Yellowstone Lake, trying to reel in anything that would bite, I asked if I could take a kayak out alone.
He tightened the straps of my life vest and stood on the shore as the red kayak cut through the eddy and out toward the lake. The wind swept the water into white-capped peaks, pushing me farther from shore. I panicked, unable to paddle against the current or the wind, screaming for help. After he had rescued me, after we had tied up the kayaks and put away the fishing tackle, he said, “I’m proud of you, kiddo.”
I threw a rock into the lake. “I couldn’t do it.”
He flicked the brim of my baseball hat, pushing it up and away from my eyes. “You were brave enough to try.”
We didn’t catch any trout that night. I poked a stick into the campfire, watching the embers sputter and then smoke.
In college, halfway through a biology degree I didn’t want, frustrated with my introverted nature and my ever-present fear of failure, I called my dad.
I wanted to ask if he remembered our trip to Yellowstone. And I wanted the mountains. I drove the six hours home. Immersed in the scent of the Sierra Nevada, tapping my boots against the leaves, I tried to explain how I felt sheltered in the mountains, how I wanted to trust people, how it takes time. How when you feel too much, you learn to pretend you feel nothing at all. How when it’s impossible to become impervious, you learn to become elusive.
I was eleven again, throwing rocks into the lake, mired in my own disappointment and unable to see the merit of having tried. He reminded me. With only the trees, the smallest birds flitting from one branch to another, I felt bigger than myself. I hinted at dreams. I wanted to say thank you. I never did. It’s not too late, but I couldn’t find the words.
I don’t know much about child development, about the impact of divorce or of incessant uprooting. But I know that in a constant flux of moving and change, of people entering and exiting, those father-daughter trips gave me a pathway to myself. I know that under his guidance, within the boundaries of North America’s public lands, the courage to try became the mantra of my heartbeat, the open road became a kind of therapy.
Because in spite of my fears and all my hesitation, I have failed spectacularly, turned it into a sort of art. I have fallen hard, skidding into mistakes, wheels spinning, emerging bleeding and broken from clouds of dust. And I have never learned to give up. Because there is a version of me standing on the shores of Yellowstone Lake with bruised knuckles and bluish lips. She remembers. She has faith in her father’s words; she fights hard to go her own way.
And he won’t take credit for it. But he should. Because while he stood helplessly in the feminine care aisle, wondering how to teach her all the things she might need to know about being a woman, he overlooked that the most important thing he’d ever give her is the courage to be herself.
From the passenger seat of a beat-up Pathfinder, under desert skies, along dusty trails, from the bow of an old red kayak, she learned to live, to travel, to cling stubbornly to her own ideals, to take wrong turns and hard falls, to find solace in the mountains, to never learn to starch a skirt, to stay within her head because she likes it there. And when she is thousands of miles off-course, feeling homesick and alone, she will always know where to go. There will always be Yosemite, there will always be Yellowstone, there will always be a place outside with a wide blue sky and her father’s voice saying, “Be brave enough to try.”

Today a measure to make health care costs more transparent was heard in the Senate Health Care Committee. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mark Mullet, D-Issaquah, will require insurance companies to display their cost of services, quality rankings by provider network and consumer feedback of individual medical professionals on their website.
“If you’re a high-quality, low cost insurance provider, you’re going to want to have as many actively-engaged health care consumers as possible,” said Mullet. “There are fears that if you give people the price; you’re not actually going to get the quality outcome that you’re hoping for. This bill requires that insurers give price and quality information so consumers can combine those two to make better informed health care decisions.”
Under the bill, health insurance providers offering benefit plans after Dec. 31, 2015 must offer the transparency tools to their consumers.

There’s a new 10-a-day craze happening. New research states a total of 10 servings of fruits and veggies per day is best for optimal health and wellness. Less than 12% of adults get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables for a healthy body. And that’s at the previously recommended 5 cups a day. Most will agree that 10 servings sound crazy without going vegan, especially with so little Americans getting half. But the benefits far outweigh the effort. And there are some creative ways to get the recommended amount.
Curbing cardiovascular issues
Over 800,000 deaths happen due to heart attacks and strokes. Persons at risk must keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check. Vegetables and fruits provide the fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants needed to prevent cardiovascular disease. Research estimates over 1.5 million additional deaths due to inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption.
Ditching the diabetes
Diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, continues to be a dangerous disease. Fruits and veggies can reduce the chances of diabetes significantly. Many fruits and vegetables have a low glycemic index. Eating 10 servings can prevent persons from becoming one of the 40,000 diagnosed yearly.
Cut out the cancer
Can greens help with cancer? The research showed a possible 14% reduction in cancers. Persons eating 7 or more servings of greens and fruits had a reduced chance of cancer. This compared to those consuming less than 5 servings.
Got a great gut
Research also noticed eating 10 servings can improve gastrointestinal health. Gut health issues range from ulcers, heartburn, celiac disease, and IBS. Persons consuming more fruits and vegetables also lost more weight. These persons also had a lower BMI. To get the full benefits, avoid fruits and vegetables high in starch. These can reverse the effects of lower weight and digestive health.
Getting it in
Jumping from 5 servings to 10 is no small feat. Doubling servings requires some creativity. For starters, add fruits and vegetables to every meal, especially breakfast. Soups and stews are great options, as these meals can be packed with extra servings. Try more frozen fruit and veggies, opting for shakes and smoothies. By being consistent and mindful, anyone can get the full benefits.
Try 10 life-saving servings today
Most doctors and dietitians agree that fruits and vegetables are the keys to excellent health. And the more, the merrier. Getting 10 servings sounds like a huge task. But anyone consistently eating 10 servings has a reduced risk of diabetes, cancer, and CVD. And that sounds like a great choice.

The European Parliament has suggested six concrete animal protection measures to Spain, which they consider â€œa unified animal protected law should includeâ€. They made these recommendations in the annex of their public letter, in which they urge Spain to incorporate the European values on animal welfare into their national laws.
Increased control of public pounds and rescue centres run by private entities without a legal framework to regulate them.
Increased support, resources, and training for police forces, Autonomous Communities, and Municipalities in the fight against abandonment of dogs.
The treatment of hunting as a private affair, and thus ineligible to direct or indirect public subsidies at either state, regional or local levels. This implies not recognising the activities as â€˜culturalâ€™ or â€˜sportingâ€™ in nature, making its federations and associations ineligible to subsidies from government sports or cultural authorities.
The group of hunting dogs called â€˜rehalasâ€™ should cease to be declared an object â€˜of cultural interestâ€™. Current laws on breeding and EU Platform on Animal Welfare responsible breeding guidelines should be applied so as not to discriminate against hunting dogs.
Transparency in all matters relating to subsidies to organisations related to the hunting activity.
The implementation of an animal welfare education program in schools to promote empathy in childhood.

On this Saturday, 28 November 2020, the vigil of the First Sunday of Advent, Bishop Larry Duffy will lead an online Service of Hope for the people of the Diocese of Clogher. The service will be accessible via www.clogherdiocese,ie and also via the Diocese of Clogher Facebook page and those of various parishes.
In his recent pastoral letter on living our faith through prayer and action, Bishop Duffy has highlighted the centrality of Christian hope in these challenging times. He sees Advent as being a special time for looking forward with hope. ‘This is a time to reflect on our needs and the coming of the light that Jesus brings to our world at Christmas’, he says. He is especially conscious of those for whom the period of restrictions is a particular burden in terms of mental health, financial pressures and grief. ‘People need hope. Advent is a time of hope. As Christians, it our duty to reach out and to show solidarity through prayers and actions.’
The Service of Hope will feature a reading from Scripture, some words of encouragement from Bishop Larry, prayers of intercession and music – all led by people of all ages from various parts of the diocese. One of the features will be some short reflections by people from different generations on how the period of Covid-19 has impacted on them.
The service is being planned and coordinated by the Diocesan Liturgy Commission. Its chairperson, Deacon Martin Donnelly, says that it is part of a series of resources which the diocese is putting in place this year: ‘With God in our hearts we have hope and confidence to face every challenge. This is the kernel of the mission of the Church in Clogher this Advent season. Walk with us in hope!’.
Other prayer resources for Advent and Christmas will be made available via the diocesan website www.clogherdiocese,ie and social media platforms over the coming weeks. Despite the changed circumstances of 2020, it is hoped that the period of Advent will allow us all to prepare for a greater focus on the true meaning of Christmas this year.

European plastics market strategically important for the Group
May, 29, 2018 - RadiciGroup exhibited at Plast 2018, the trade fair for plastics and rubber held every three years in Milan. During the first half of this year, the RadiciGroup Performance Plastics Business Area has already taken part in several important trade shows around the world: ChinaPlas in China, PlastIndia in India, and NPE in Florida, USA. In Italy, the plastics compounder has a stopover in the home country of its headquarters.
Plast 2018 was RadiciGroup’s opportunity to acquaint the Italian market, and the European market in general, with its enhanced product range, backed by over 35 years’ experience in plastics — an industry that is now going through a delicate phase.
“The engineering plastics market, and the polyamide market in particular, are going through a very turbulent stage due to structural shortcomings in the supply chain,” pointed out Cesare Clausi, global sales director of RadiciGroup Performance Plastics. “Demand is steadily increasing, even in mature markets like Europe. And, in the last two years, Italy has started to grow again, maintaining its key position in Europe, second only to Germany. In this context, not only are we honouring all our commitments without causing inconvenience to our partners, but we are also embarking on a further expansion in production capacity, set to be completed by this summer and primarily involving our plants in Italy.”
In the last few years, the Performance Plastics Business Area has maintained its performance in emerging markets and, on top of that, has continued to strengthen its presence in the European market, which is strategically important for the Group.
“Our vertically integrated polyamide production with 8 compounding plants on 3 continents,” Mr. Clausi added, “puts us in a position ready to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the ongoing consolidation of global players to whoever is able to provide advanced worldwide service. And I do not mean proposing only an expanded product range, greater product customization and prompt service, but also specialized consulting in the design stage.”
On this last topic, Erico Spini, marketing & application development director of RadiciGroup Performance Plastics, had this to say: “We are a “solution provider, in the sense that we are committed to becoming a partner to our customers in their innovative projects, suggesting the most suitable materials, developing new products, if needed, and providing support in the simulation of mould filling and structural analysis.”
At the RadiciGroup Plast 2018 stand and also at the press conference held at RadiciGroup´s booth, visitors could view the full product portfolio, including the offering of innovative materials for engineering applications developed during the last ten years by RadiciGroup Performance Plastics Research & Development: from PA 6.6 Radilon® HHR to PA 6 and PA 6.6 Radistrong®, as well as the more recent entries, PPA Radilon® Aestus T and PPS Raditeck® P.
Mr. Spini concluded: “We pay special attention to new applications in emerging and innovative fields. Here I’m talking about ‘e-mobility’, a sector where we provide materials for battery covers, charging plugs and connectors (engineering plastics from the Radiflam® family), along with products for the battery cooling system (Radilon® RG, D, DT, Aestus and Raditeck®) and high voltage connectors (Radiflam®). We also provide materials for the water and plumbing sector, for which we’ve developed a wide range of metal replacement products, such as the engineering plastics Radilon A (PA6.6), Radilon DT (PA6.12) and Radilon Aestus (PPA). Some of these materials have already been certified for use in contact with water, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in the various countries.”
With approximately 3,000 employees, sales revenue of EUR 946 million in 2016 and a network of production and sales sites located throughout Europe, North America, South America and Asia, RadiciGroup is one of the world’s leading producers of a range of chemical intermediates, polyamide polymers, engineering plastics, synthetic fibres and nonwovens. These products – the result of the Group’s chemical expertise and vertically integrated polyamide production chain – have been developed for use in a variety of industrial sectors, such as Automotive, Electrical and Electronics, Consumer Goods, Apparel, Furninshings, Construction, Household Appliances, Sports. With its business areas - Specialty Chemicals, Performance Plastics and Synthetic Fibres & Nonwovens (Performance Yarn, Comfort Fibres and Extrusion Yarn), RadiciGroup is part of a larger industrial group that also includes textile machinery (ITEMA), energy (GEOGREEN) and hotel (SAN MARCO) businesses.

I've hit a wall or a floor.... I am in a serious stitching slump and have done almost nothing for two weeks. Work is too busy; I just don't have time to stitch at lunch. Home is busy - nothing more than normal, just busy and I'm walking around feeling a bit lost. Here's the problem.... I have a favorite spot in my house. It's referred to as my craft room, the cave, or the sanctuary and I LOVE it. When Rob and I had the basement finished a few years ago, I got a spot all my own. it has a small t.v., a tiny but functional closet, lots of cabinets and two work surfaces with desks. It is where I go and do "my thing", where I chill out, where I reflect and where I do all my stitching. I'm spoiled. My sweet Rob always knocks before coming in and I always respond with entrer, s'il vous plaît (no, I don't speak french, so wish I did though) but that is always our little ritual. If I don't respond, he'll always ask again.
This is what my sanctuary looked like a week and a half ago:
It was a warm, cozy place. Well, it doesn't look like that anymore. We have had so much rain, melting snow and wet weather that the carpet got wet. It's gotten wet a couple of times and I've always successfully dried it out but this last time, there were minerals on the carpet that I had a hard time cleaning up. Because this room is in the basement, I was worried it would start to smell stinky. I don't know about you but I prefer to not have my sanctuary be stinky! Being the brilliant person that I am, I thought it would be best to pull up the carpet and simply paint the floor. Oh brother! First I had to cut the carpet and pull out all the tack strips that went all around the room. Oh, I didn't think about that - pulling those out left big holes in the concrete which wouldn't look very pretty when painted. Off to the home improvement store to buy patch, caulk and all the tools to go along with that. That was easy enough until it dried and each little hole I'd tried to fill looked like a raised molehill. Now I have to sand about 25 of these dumb things to get the floor smooth enough to paint. Did I mention that I'm brilliant??? My plan is to paint a red and white (more off-white than white) checkerboard pattern on the floor and then just put an area rug down to cozy the place up a bit. This is what it looks like now, pay particular attention to the cold, concrete floors - not exactly inviting!
Not the cozy spot it once was, for sure. It will be really cute, (I hope) when I finally get all the work done. The reason I'm spoiled is because I just don't like to stitch anywhere else in the house. I get too distracted, I make mistakes (more than normal) and it's just too "busy" for me. Kids are running in and out, doggies want to sit on my lap, everything has to be lugged upstairs, it's just not fun. Yeah, I know, I sound like a whiner but I can't help it. I love my quiet, little spot and have gotten so used to it that without it, I've lost my mojo. It'll come back when the room is done but I don't think it'll be this week. We have a wrestling banquet to go to one night and a scout meeting another, we'll be delivering my son Matt's Eagle Scout project during the week and there are a few other things going on as well.
Matt is on the way to finishing up all his requirements to earn his Eagle Scout award. It has been a long, really long, journey and not one I'm sure we'd have finished had it not been for my father, his Poppa Jim. Matt wanted to quit scouts more times than I can tell you and would have, had it not been for my dad. When we lived in Korea, my father, in addition to all his other duties, was the Director for Scouting for the Far East Council. I can't recall his exact title but he became very involved and really loved what it taught and the lessons boys got from it. He really encouraged my boys to participate in scouting and long after all their friends had dropped out - they kept at it because they wanted to make Poppa Jim proud. Believe me, Matt hasn't done this for me or Rob, or even himself really. Nope, he's done it for Poppa. I know that one day, Matt will be very proud of this achievement and will look back on all he did with great fondness. For now, we just gotta make that last push to the finish line. His project was to build a recycling center for the church. He and Tyler and two of their best pals Eric and Alex, along with a master wood worker, put it together this weekend. Here are a couple of pics of their day. Here's Alex (one of Ty's best friends):
This is his brother, Eric (one of Matt's best friends):
Here's my Tyler (Matt's brother and future Eagle Scout, I hope):
Here's Matt and the gang, including Mr. B
Matt giving some pointers:
I don't think texting was supposed to be the rule of the day but can a kid go a day without texting????
That's it, my friends. No stitching for a while but I hope to be back at it soon. In the meantime, I'm going to get ABC Hornbook on scroll rods so I can finally start that next week. I'll be stitching it as an incentive stitch with the gals on a YUKU board. Hopefully by the time the Incentive starts, my room will be done and ready for stitching. I know I'll be ready!!! Have a great week and thank you so much for all the comments on my last post. I so appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.

The Pengrowth Saddledome is the main indoor arena facility in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and is situated on the east end of the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede grounds and Macleod Trail. It is also known simply as the Saddledome or even the ‘Dome. The arena is home to the Calgary Flames of the NHL, the Calgary Roughnecks of the NLL and the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL.
Architect: Graham McCourt Architects
Engineer: Jan Bobrowski and Partners
Contractor: CANA Construction
Cost: $100,000,000 CAD
The distinctive saddle-shaped roof is an inverted hyperbolic paraboloid. This original design is believed to still hold the world record for the longest spanning hyperbolic paraboloid concrete shell in the world. Projected onto the x-z plane the saddledome produces a circle with a radius of 67.7m. However, the roof’s saddle motif tied in well with Calgary’s Western heritage. Constructed using pre-cast concrete panels suspended by post-tension cables, the roof has an unobstructed 122 metre span covering 12,000 m², but is only 60 centimetres thick.
As a practical matter, such a design causes there to be many more rows of seating near "center ice" than behind the goals.
Depending on the event configuration, the facility seats up to 20,100 spectators, and includes 72 luxury suites, 2 super suites, and 6 restaurants and bars.
When it opened on October 15, 1983, it was known as the Olympic Saddledome as it would host the indoor ice events for the 1988 Winter Olympics. This was the first major arena in North America capable of hosting ice hockey matches on the international standard size ice sheet. The building was renamed the Canadian Airlines Saddledome when the Calgary-based airline became the building’s sponsor in July 1996. This was controversial among many Calgarians who opposed the facility losing the "Olympic" name, and who were also opposed to the decision to cover the Dome’s massive roof with the Canadian Airlines logo. In 2000, another company, Pengrowth Management Ltd., took over sponsorship of the complex when Canadian Airlines was acquired by Air Canada and the facility was renamed the Pengrowth Saddledome. Unlike Canadian, Pengrowth chose not to put its logo on the roof of the facility.
Ice hockey, rodeo events, dog shows, basketball, monster truck events, circus events, music concerts, tapings of Wheel of Fortune, World Wrestling Entertainment and the 2006 ISU World Figure Skating Championships have all been held at the Saddledome in its 20+ year history.
The Saddledome is home to the NHL’s Calgary Flames. During home games, the Flames can host 19,289 fans in the arena.

Book Review | Nightwoods: Setting shapes tale of suspense
The third Charles Frazier novel, Nightwoods, returns to the author’s familiar terrain of western North Carolina, which served as the backdrop for his two others, Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons.
Set in the early 1960s, Nightwoods follows the days and nights of Luce, an idiosyncratic young woman living off the land as she tries to care for her recently orphaned niece and nephew, Dolores and Frank. At times, the plot echoes the masterpiece Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson.
Dolores and Frank have witnessed the brutal murder of their mother by their ruthless stepfather, and the intense trauma of the event has left them literally speechless.
Luce and the children live on the remote margins of a small town. After suffering a trauma herself, Luce has discovered much-needed solace and isolation as the caretaker of an abandoned lodge on a lake surrounded by dense woods. Before the twins’ arrival, she constructs a makeshift living space in the cavernous lobby of the lodge with a daybed, bookshelves of “well-read old novels,” and a radio tuned to a Nashville station that broadcasts the likes of Howlin’ Wolf and James Brown.
Together, the unlikely trio creates an unconventional life.
Frazier builds a careful third-person narrative that shifts fluidly among his constellation of characters. In contrast to Robinson’s meditative, almost-existential novel, Nightwoods propels forward at a suspenseful clip. The stepfather, Bud, manages to bypass a guilty verdict and is determined to find the twins in order to unearth a stash of stolen money that disappeared from their home as well as destroy the only witnesses to his bloody crime. Lit, a drug-addicted police officer, complicates his plan.
Coming to the aid of Luce and the twins is the rudderless Stubblefield, who travels north from the Gulf of Mexico after he learns he has inherited the property and outbuildings from his estranged grandfather.
The suspense is intensified as the author shifts from the past to the present tense in the third section of the novel — and the chase moves into the mountains.
Ultimately, the character of Luce provides the emotional sustenance for the narrative: Her relationships with the often-mute Dolores and Frank are well-drawn. An authentic tenderness exists among them, despite their limited communication. In addition, Luce’s budding romantic relationship with the younger Stubblefield also captures credible moments of humanity. Frazier taps into a poetic innocence and truth in his depictions of these sympathetic characters.
In the end, the verisimilitude of the North Carolina backwoods and how the place shapes the characters brings the story alive.

How CUFI has awakened the 'sleeping giant' of Christian Zionism
April 2, 2021
(JNS) - As the World Council of Churches goes full throttle against Israel, Christians United for Israel, one of the most powerful voices for Israel in the United States, marked its 15th anniversary.
"We could never have imagined CUFI would achieve so much, so quickly. But God has blessed us because we are fulfilling our biblical mandate to stand with Israel and His Chosen people," Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of CUFI, told JNS. "This said, I noted when we launched CUFI that there was a sleeping giant of Christian Zionism in this country. That giant has now been awakened. When mi...


The Customs Department has demanded Super Zara, importer of NGV buses, to settle the 40 percent unpaid import tax for the first lot of 100 NGV buses that the company falsely declared they were assembled in Malaysia or the department will take the case to the public prosecutors.
Mr Chaiyuth Kamkhun, deputy director-general of Customs Department, said Monday that Super Zara imported altogether 489 NGV buses in two lots � the first 100 and the remaining 389 in the second lot � into the country for Bestlin Group which won the contract to supply Bangkok Mass Transit Authority with 489 NGV buses at over 1.3 billion baht.
He said that Super Zara had paid import tax for the second lot of 389 buses but maintained that they were assembled in Malaysia with local contents. But for the first lot of 100 buses, the company has so far refused to pay the import tax, claiming they were assembled in Malaysia and eligible to import tax exemption under the AFTA agreement.
But the Customs Department has challenged that the whole bus fleet were actually manufactured and assembled in China, but the buses were directed to Malaysia before heading for Thailand to give an impression that they were assembled there as stipulated in the contract.
As for the 100 buses, Mr Chaiyuth said Super Zara face with two charges � tax avoidance and falsely declaring the origin of the buses. In this case, he said the company would face a fine four times the amount of tax or 1.24 million baht for each bus plus 7 percent VAT totaling 1.45 million baht for each of the 100 buses.
For the 389 buses, the company will face one charge �falsely declaring the origin of the buses.

“We want to make sure that every time we go out onto the cricket field, as a Test playing side, that we're highly competitive and a difficult side to beat,” Kirsten said in Centurion on Wednesday, with the Proteas on the brink of a series whitewash.
“It's hard to say we won't lose a game this year, but we like to think we'll get very close to that.”
Kirsten said they were not looking at this match, or the series, in isolation and the team had bigger goals to reach. “We set our blueprint a while back and that includes some long term goals. After last year's success, this year is a very important one for us to maintain our levels of consistency.
“To represent your country is a massive thing and we will continue to pick a full strength team in every Test match I'm involved in.”
With Morne Morkel injured, team management confirmed earlier in the week that Rory Kleinveldt was back in the side and Kyle Abbot would be the next seam bowling reserve. “It's always tough for a guy who sits on the fringes, but Rory has played three Tests now and he's very much part of this team,” Kirsten said.
“We don't look at ourselves as a team of 11, but rather as a squad of 15, and I keep the players well-informed of where they sit within the team.
"I see it as a great opportunity for him to stake his claim as one of the premier fast bowlers in the country and he's relishing the chance.”
While much of the focus had been on South Africa's consistently effective pace attack, Kirsten said the batsmen had played just as important a role and the difficulty of batting on South African wickets was not to be underestimated.
“South Africa, without a doubt, has the toughest conditions for batting so I give credit to our batsmen for their performance on wickets which are doing a fair amount.
“I think they do an incredible job and maybe we need to realign our yardsticks in South African conditions. Often they are measured on scoring hundreds or reaching totals of 400s, but in South Africa, sometimes 300 is a very good score.”
Responding to the pressure
Despite being 2-0 up in the series, the Proteas were still wary of Pakistan, but Kirsten felt confident his team would once again react to the pressure.
“We knew we would have a big backlash at Newlands and be put under pressure but we responded brilliantly,” he said.
“We had individuals who stepped up, who had never had to step up before – our lower order batsmen made telling contributions and we needed them in that game.
"I have no doubt they will put us under pressure again and we're going to have to respond to that.” – Sapa

Leg Fat Better Than Belly Fat, New Study Says
According to a new study, leg fat is better than belly fat for older woman. Carrying more fat on legs compared with the stomach protects postmenopausal women from heart disease, the study says.
The BBC reported that women of a healthy weight with the highest risk of stroke or heart disease had the most belly fat and the least hip and thigh fat, the European Heart Journal research found. The scientists said “apple-shaped” women should try to lose belly fat and become more “pear-shaped”.
The research followed 2,600 women who were a healthy weight – with a body mass index (BMI) of between 18 and 25 – over 18 years.

Polybros builds contemporary objects and sculptures in the tension of modern, polygonal structures, between assemblage and found objects. The shapes, geometric structures, surface material, textures, and the transformations between single object and complete work, banality and artwork, are central elements. Formally, the works are not pure sculpture, not object, not painting. And yet they are all, with traces of the architecture of Spoerri and Duchamp, abstract, critical and concrete.

You know that it’s important for your business to be on social media. You know it’s important because all your competitors are on social media and it seems like the trendy, popular thing to do. But social media isn’t just a passing trend – it’s here to stay and it should be part of every business’s marketing strategy. And even though your company has a Facebook page and a Twitter account, that isn’t enough. Your social media presence should be an extension of your company’s voice and personality.
Having a social media presence can introduce new ways to attract customers and generate leads. It provides an opportunity to connect with people on a more personal level. And it’s a way to build your brand’s presence in a genuine way. By being active on social media, you can engage with people and start building a trusted reputation. How you ask? Just follow these four steps:
1. Be Authentic
No one likes to be yelled at. And that’s what the constant promotion of your products or services can look like on social media. Acting like a digital carnival barker, constantly shouting about your newest and coolest offers isn’t going to achieve much. If anything, it will just annoy people and make them stop following your company. So instead, talk with your customers on social media, not at them. Build relationships and foster a sense of community around your brand by creating an authentic voice.
By developing this authentic voice, you can humanize your brand and engage customers in an honest and open way. Because social media is inherently an informal medium, you can take advantage of that to let your company’s personality shine through. Speak in a more conversational tone, not in marketing or business jargon, to engage with customers as if you were chatting over a cup of coffee. This type of casual interaction will earn trust in your company because it will be seen as relatable and friendly, not cold and corporate.
2. Be a Purveyor of Excellent Content
Building brand trust also means creating and sharing content that will interest your customers. Instead of just focusing on touting your product’s features or your company’s mundane quarterly reports, concentrate on providing valuable content that is geared specifically toward your audience. By creating and curating great content, your company will stand out as a thought leader, industry expert, and just an all around cool business that people will want to engage with.
For example, if you’re the owner of a specialty shoe boutique, write a blog post reporting on the latest shoe designs premiered at New York Fashion Week. Or share gorgeous images of design inspirations for the fall line of riding boots. Creating and sharing content with your audience will keep them tuned into what you’re saying because it’s interesting and relevant. You’re social media content should be all about educating, engaging, and elucidating, which will help build trust and general likeability.
3. Be Accountable
Everyone makes mistakes – that’s just human nature. But how you handle those mistakes can really set you apart from your competitors. We’ve all seen the social media blunders committed by some companies on Twitter (ahem, Kenneth Cole and Entenmann’s), and you’ve probably cringed at how some of these were handled. Don’t cause a PR disaster for your company by making a social media mistake and then not offering a sufficient mea culpa. Take accountability for your social media fail – that will garner you far more respect that just brushing it aside, pretending it never happened.
And it isn’t just about protecting your image from internal blunders. When you have to answer to customers on social media, make sure you do so in a way that’s honest and transparent. If there are complaints or questions, address these promptly and appropriately. People will appreciate your professionalism and it will be a big step in continuing engagement with customers. Even if you’re getting negative feedback, use social media to address concerns immediately and act courteously and respectfully. Excellent customer service can go a long way in building trust in your brand.
4. Leverage Employees as Brand Advocates
Did you know that 77% of buyers in an eMarketer report said they’d be more likely to make a purchase from a company whose CEO is active on social media sites like Twitter? While customers enjoy when CEOs are on social, it’s also important that your employees are active as well. Why you ask? Because your employees are your biggest brand advocates and know your company best. When you encourage your employees to advocate on behalf of your brand online, you amplify the voice and reach of your company.
Your most engaged employees can act as an extension of brand – they can share fun company tidbits, upcoming promotional offers, or customer feel-good stories with their social networks. These types of posts that come from your own employees are the most effective method to building a genuine and authentic reputation. And having a positive reputation is the best way to earn trust in your brand.
By following these 4 steps, your company can start earning brand trust through social. Because it isn’t just about being present on social media these days – it’s about utilizing social media to project your company’s voice and personality to connect with customers. Register today for a demo of the leading employee advocacy platform to jump start your social media marketing efforts and to begin building brand trust.

Two British directors of Oscar-winning films have found it much easier to remake their much-acclaimed “Life In A Day” feature documentary, a montage of everyday lives shot by the public, because the last year has been so depressing, people have been filming so much more than “cute” cat videos.
Sir Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald say that videos filmed for the ambitious YouTube project reveal just how much the world has changed in a decade. This time, they found a wealth of darker and deeper videos created by people across the globe.
Mr Macdonald told the Telegraph: “Looking back now at the film we made in 2010, it seems like a time-capsule from a different age - a time when YouTube was mainly about uploading cute videos of your children and your cats and the idea of the professional “vlogger” didn’t really exist. I remember that we had to really search through the material to find anything dark. Critics complained that there was no death or sex - that therefore the film didn’t encapsulate life.
“Well now, in 2020 we have a totally different feeling from the material we received. Loss and grief are heavily in evidence - as you would expect from the ‘worst year ever’. But the joy that is there is all the more precious for it. I feel that [this] is a more mature film, a more accurate reflection of humanity.”
Sir Ridley added: “Revisiting Life In A Day ten years on, I was amazed by the resilience of human beings. We see things we didn’t see in 2010: a fear about the future of the planet, but also an ability to withstand heartbreak and come out stronger. This kind of courage makes me feel optimistic about our future.”
Sir Ridley, whose Roman epic Gladiator was showered with Oscars, is its executive producer. Mr Macdonald, who won an Oscar for his documentary One Day in September, and whose acclaimed films include The Last King of Scotland, inspired by Ugandan tyrant Idi Amin, is its director.
Their first film asked the public to film themselves on a single day in July. From 80,000 video clips submitted from 192 countries, Sir Ridley and Mr Macdonald created a 90-minute feature documentary that has been viewed more than 17 million times on YouTube. Now they are premiering a new film based on 324,000 entries, all shot on July 25 2020. Such is the international interest that their two short call-out videos inviting further submissions have been viewed 65 million times.
The “Life In A Day” productions try to capture the mood of humanity through snapshots of everyday lives across the planet. While the 2010 entries exuded optimism, the 2020 ones reveal a more melancholic mood, with the global pandemic among obvious factors taking their toll.
Jack Arbuthnott, who produced it on behalf of RSA Films, one of Sir Ridley’s production companies, described The Life In A Day films as “portraits of the world”.
He said that, while the first film was “irrepressibly upbeat”, the new one is a “rollercoaster ride of emotion” in which people have shared “incredibly intimate” footage.
The film-makers asked anyone with a camera to share just an ordinary day by exploring what they love, fear and would like to change. They chose hundreds of clips from 500 contributors - all of whom appear in the directing credits.
There are clips from as far afield as Indonesia and Nigeria, India and Russia, as well as Britain.
Some last seconds, others minutes, and touch on all aspects of life, including women giving birth, whether in the most primitive conditions or hospitals, kissing couples and weddings.
In one clip, a Russian girl chases after her run-away goat, in another, a man swims in a remote Northern Siberian lake, emerging to say: “What I fear the most is that my life will pass unnoticed, that my name won’t matter in the history of the world.”
One American woman cries bitterly after being told that she is not pregnant.
Her husband consoles her: “I love you.” A Scottish man proposes on bended knee, only to be knocked back, observing: “Life in a day is not always happy ending.”
Mr Arbuthnott said: “The film has a consoling effect because it’s a…reflection on the things that we hold dear. You get a strong sense of everybody going through the same emotions, hopes, fears and struggles wherever they are, whoever they are.”
He was struck by the sense of loss and loneliness that emerged, with victims of Covid-19 among the films: “One of the contributors from 2010 was a teenager in bed as his mother is trying to wake him up. He says ‘get out, woman!’
In this film, the mum says I’m going to play you my footage from the first film and I’m going to show you where my son is now. She pans around and her son is in an urn. He was one of the first people to die of Covid-19.
He added: “Our sense was that Covid-19 alone doesn’t explain what people were feeling on that day.”
But there is also humour, Mr Arbuthnott said: “Hopefully people feel incredibly moved and optimistic at the end.”
He singled out one little boy and his pet rat, among the “most brilliant characters” in the film: “He lives in Omsk, close to Mongolia. He was looking up Macdonald’s, the burger people, to find some toys and accidentally stumbled across Kevin Macdonald. It’s for that reason that they took part.”
In one clip, the boy holds the rat up to show him the view from his window. “Turns out the world is so interesting,” he says.
The film will be premiered on 1 February at the Sundance Film Festival and launched free on YouTube on the 6th.
