4 recipes that only require 4 ingredients
We don’t know about you, but all this time at home has our snack cupboards looking bare!
To save you any unnecessary trips to the supermarket, we’ve pulled together 4 simple sweet treat recipes using ingredients you may already have in your kitchen.
Scroll down to see if any take your fancy…
Joe's Simple Sponge
200g caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
200g self-raising flour
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C/Gas 4. Grease your cake tin and then dust with flour, shaking off excess.
2. Add the caster sugar and butter to a mixing bowl and beat (using an electric whisk if you have one) until light and fluffy.
3. Slowly begin to add the beaten eggs a little at a time, mixing in well after each addition.
4. Sift in the flour and fold into the mixture.
5. Once the mixture is completely combined pour it into the tin.
6. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Insert a knife or skewer into the middle. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked.
Tips: If you have any lemons you could add lemon zest into the cake mixture or, once cooled, slice the sponge in half and add some jam and cream!
Easy Peasy Raspberry Gin!
700ml bottle of gin
You’ll also need a large jar.
1. Pop the raspberries and sugar into a large jar, or spread the ingredients evenly between smaller jars. Pour over the gin, seal the jar(s) and swirl to dissolve the sugar. Simple!
2. Store in a cool, dark place and shake the jar(s) once a day for at least a week. We usually recommend waiting at least a month until you sample your gin (some people wait a year!) but when you’re ready to sample your fruity concoction make sure to strain the gin before you serve.
Super Simple Banana Bread!
100g caster/granulated sugar
260g self-raising flour
1. Preheat oven to 180 C/Gas 4 and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, add all four bananas and mash them with a fork. The riper the bananas the better, so if you’ve got some with brown spotty skin in your fruit bowl they’ll be ideal.
3. Add the eggs and sugar to the mashed bananas. Beat the ingredients together until well mixed.
4. Stir in the self-raising flour until well mixed, using a spatula.
5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake it for 40 minutes, or until a knife/skewer can be stuck in the middle of the bread and come out clean.
Tips: This is a really basic banana recipe. Feel free to customize it to your liking if you have ingredients available in your kitchen e.g. add some nuts, chocolate chips or cinnamon.
Peanut Butter Cookies
200g peanut butter
175g caster/granulated sugar
1 large egg
¼ tsp of salt
1. Heat your oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment (alternatively grease the tray with butter or margarine).
2. Pop the peanut butter, sugar and salt into a bowl and mix in a figure eight motion using a wooden spoon until it becomes a dough.
3. Add the egg to the dough and mix in.
4. Next, simply scoop heaped teaspoons of dough and place on the baking tray. Aim to have the dough in as circular a shape as possible on the tray. You can use your spoon to push them down and manipulate them a little. Make sure the cookies are spaced out on the tray.
5. Bake the cookies for around 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and a paler yellow in the centre.
Tip: The crunchier the peanut butter, the more crunch in your cookie! If you have some cornflakes in the cupboard you could add a scattering into the dough mix!
So there you have it, 4 simple recipes that will help you rustle up some tasty treats using the contents of your cupboards!

Bio - Willie Nelson
With a seven-decade career, Willie Nelson has earned every conceivable award as a musician and amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor, and activist. He continues to thrive as a relevant and progressive musical and cultural force. In recent years, he has delivered more than a dozen new albums, released a Top 10 New York Times’ bestsellers book, again headlined Farm Aid, an event he co-founded in 1985, been honored by the Library of Congress with their Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, received his 5th degree black belt in Gong Kwon Yu Sul, headlined the annual Luck Reunion food and music festival during SXSW, launched his cannabis companies Willie’s Reserve and Willie’s Remedy, and graced the covers of Rolling Stone and AARP The Magazine.
In July 2020, Willie released his album First Rose of Spring - an atmospheric soulful showcase of beautifully-written songs and poignant performances. September 2020 brought a memoir with his sister and pianist Bobbie Nelson titled,Me and Sister Bobbie: True Tales of The Family Band. For 2021, he released a new studio album in February —That’s Life, Willie’s second album of standards and classics made famous by Frank Sinatra (his first, 2018’sMy Way, earned Willie the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Solo Album). The two legends were friends, musical colleagues, and mutual admirers of each other’s work.
In June 2021, a collection of his thoughts on America, family, faith and music hits shelves as a new book titled Willie Nelson’s Letters to America.These creative endeavors as well as new songs and performances that add to his classic catalog, find Willie Nelson rolling at an artistic peak, writing and singing and playing with the seasoned wit and wisdom that comes from the road.
Bio - Jelly Roll
Outright genre-bending singer/songwriter/rapper Jelly Roll has quietly been building a remarkable career, under the radar and on his own terms. Since his days selling his mix tapes out of his car, he has constantly been releasing new music (more than 24 albums), touring relentlessly, consistently topping various iTunes charts, engaging a rabid fanbase and creating videos that have amassed nearly 2 billion views on YouTube. He pairs deeply personal lyrics with music that blends Old-school Rap, Classic Rock, Country and Soul to create music that is therapeutic, raw and tackles the heaviness in life.
His 2020 single “Save Me” — a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights, with more than 141 million views on YouTube and Platinum certification from the RIAA. Born and raised in Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood, the former addict and drug dealer released his album Ballads of the Broken in 2021, ahead of his sold-out hometown show at the famous Ryman Auditorium, which sold out in under an hour. The introspective 10-track album shows Jelly Roll’s growth as an artist and man,
drawing from his personal experiences to tell the story of a man who has been through the ringer and isn’t afraid to share his raw truth, featuring his multi-week No. 1 Rock hit “Dead Man Walking” and his No. 1 Country debut single “Son of a Sinner.” Now after a history-making “breakthrough year” (American Songwriter), having just sold-out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and released the riveting anthem “NEED A FAVOR” along with the soul-stirring ballad “she” from his highly anticipated forthcoming album, the reigning No. 1 of Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart for 20 weeks is well on his way to mainstream, multi-genre stardom.

Near vision revolutionised
Wearers today need to multi-task quickly and freely. Varilux® X series™ lenses are designed with multiple fields of vision in mind. These near distance visual needs correspond to a range of between 40 and 70 cm from the wearer, known as arm’s length. Varilux X series has reinvented near vision at arm’s length, so when you’re drinking coffee whilst texting the kids, this lens will accommodate your modern day behaviours.
Introducing Volume of Vision
Varifocal performance is measured by swim effect and binocular fields of vision. Varilux X series introduces a whole new performance criteria – Volume of Vision. When you look at a particular object through a Varilux X series lens you will now notice an improvement in depth and breadth of vision. This vision experience is exclusive to Varilux X series.
Reduced head movement
A common varifocal complaint from wearers is that they need to constantly move their head in the direction they wish to see. In all situations tested, Varilux X series wearers find they need very little head movement to find the right spot when multi-tasking at arm’s reach.
A new personalisation feature
Near vision tasks involve a whole body response, which is more complex than distance vision. For example, think of your body position when you read a tablet sitting down. Varilux X series’ personalisation parameter ensures your vision volume is positioned and shaped where and how you need it.

Effective cleaning of process lines and equipment is critical to good manufacturing performance, reducing downtime and assured batch quality. But too often it is not a major consideration in the initial process design.
Clean in place (CIP) is a method of cleaning equipment with minimal dismantling and operator/manual involvement. It relies on the principal of applying a suitable detergent or solvent at a suitable flow and/or kinetic energy application, pressure and temperature for a determined amount of time to ensure effective cleaning of the system. Importantly, it has repeatable, reproducible and controllable results that can be validated.
It should not be confused with sterilise in place (SIP), which is used to sanitise, disinfect and sterilise equipment, sometimes after CIP, to remove any remaining microbiological contamination; wash in place (WIP), which is usually regarded as requiring more manual intervention and has less stringent validation requirements; and clean out of place (COP), which entails removal of equipment from its area of operation for cleaning.
Advantages of CIP include a reduction of cleaning time; automatic cycles to ensure every item is cleaned every time; increased productivity through reduction of downtime; reduced chemical handling; and simplified operational parameters.
Each processing installation is a custom-built unit, so the CIP regime it requires varies from application to application. As a rule, the variables to focus on are: temperature, time, the flow rates, method of application and the chemical solution or detergent used (see table 1).
Table 1: Typical CIP programme
In general, the higher the temperature the more effective the cleaning. The effect of temperature optimisation on fats, sugars and salts is good, while on proteins it is fair. The kinetic energy equates to whether the required flow of solution in the pipework is laminar or turbulent, or somewhere in between. In a process vessel, the cleaning effect is usually created by fixed or rotating spray heads.
The duration of each CIP cycle step can be optimised according to the following main parameters: type of process equipment; type of process carried out; duration of the process run; cleaning solution temperature; and chemical concentration.
Table 2: System comparisons
The ideal CIP system is one that uses no chemical and just relies on water solubility. This then uses kinetic energy, temperature and time to achieve the necessary results. Many CIP systems, however, need chemicals and/or detergents to be effective.
Caustic Soda (NaOH) is one of the most common CIP chemical used. It is relatively economical, even in its validated forms. Other alkali detergents are also used and these are good general cleaners for water-soluble products, fats, proteins and so on. Various acids can also be used (typically at lower temperatures) for additional cleaning efficiency and often also for some amount of decalcification of the equipment.

The cleaning regime should be variable while it is being developed, typically in the operational qualification (OQ) and performance qualification (PQ) stages of a project, and should be considered in its entirety: chemicals, chemical concentration, application time, kinetic energy, temperature, and the number of steps.
Depending on the residual product to be removed, this will determine the cleaning regime, if chemicals are required, and if so what type. During the washing stage, water hardness should also be considered as it can affect the efficiency of cleaning of aqueous surfactant solutions.
Different types of CIP system exist to provide the best solution for any given cleaning regime. These are: total loss; single-use recirculation; re-use (recovery); multi channel; fixed or mobile systems; as well as the WIP and COP options mentioned earlier. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Single-use recirculation systems offer reduced risks of cross contamination while re-use systems dramatically reduce the amount of water and chemicals required compared with a total loss system. However, each has its place in the hierarchy of cleaning requirements. A good CIP practitioner will explain what options will work for a given process and come up with the best, most effective and cost efficient solution.
An important aspect of any CIP is that its performance can be measured and validated. Not only can the procedure be validated and repeated every time a cycle is made, but batch and traceability records can be kept. This ensures traceability requirements, as well as other legislative demands, are met. It is more challenging for other cleaning processes to offer this level of transparency. Once validated in the process plant, it can be an expensive and time consuming process to replace and then revalidate a new CIP if the original unit does not perform correctly.
Table 3: Chemical (detergent) effect on cleaning operation
Clients often ask why the CIP equipment needs to be constructed to a biopharma standard. One of the reasons for this is the final rinses of CIP systems often involve the final water contacting the equipment before production and hence may need to be of product contact quality.
A modern CIP system must take into account not only the cleaning required, but also the environmental impact of the whole CIP process. Energy consumption must be minimised as must the amount of water and chemicals used. In addition, where the water is disposed of, depending on its level of contamination, the careful collection and proper disposal of contaminated chemicals and water must be considered. Thankfully, CIP systems are inherently more efficient in most of these areas.
One of the most challenging areas for CIP is to change clients’ mindset. They generally concentrate, understandably, on the production process, thus sometimes underestimate the importance of CIP. By not considering CIP initially, at the design and procurement stage, the equipment may not be fully compatible for CIP. While this has improved in recent years, Suncombe still encounters applications where CIP has just not been adequately incorporated into the design of the production equipment or process.
Other challenges include water, energy and chemical usage. Older or ineffectively designed CIPs tend to overuse these utilities whereas modern, well-designed systems minimise all of them. Clients will often challenge the length of time that CIP takes. In many cases this is simply due to design and can often be fairly simply optimised. Realisation of how critical CIP often occurs only when it is not working correctly. If that happens, this can stop or at the least slow production, which can have a major effect on output and costs.
Other issues to consider that can be designed out of a process installation include: the cleanability of components and fittings used; safety breaks and circuit separation; prevention of ‘dead legs’ in process circuits; surface finish of tanks and piping; and welding techniques. For example, some rough welding joints are natural traps whereas a smooth weld cleans easily. The same can be said of surface finishing.
CIP systems should be manufactured to provide decades of trouble-free operation for the lifetime of the equipment into which it is incorporated. Once a CIP is validated then it is a major (and expensive) task to have to modify or replace it. Building any major structure requires the involvement of teams of experts in a range of disciplines coordinating efforts to get the best result. So, when designing a complex processing installation, involve the CIP experts from the start and ensure you get the best overall build and efficiency for the total line.

Recently I completed an art piece I had been working on for awhile. The process was intriguing, learning to work with new materials like pumice gel and digital grounds. However, in the end I was not pleased with the end result. I had failed. Woody Allen once said “if your not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.” Wise words, but it didn’t make me feel any better about the piece. So, I started doing some art journaling. Just playing around really. Scribbling watercolor gel sticks to the page, drawing, stamping, whatever. The page pictured here represents one of those playtimes. I began to feel better about where my art is going. Since the journal is just for me and not a final product to give to someone else, there is no pressure to make it “come out right.” This type of playtime has also been self-revelatory. I realize that it is important not to judge my work by what I hoped it would be, but by what it is, and find a way to work with those “mistakes.” Life is like that too! Enjoy your artful journey.

The custom home building sector has had a surprisingly sluggish start to the year in 2013. New custom home starts in most areas of Ontario are down, this is the same trend that happened last year as well, if the trend continues like 2012 then the second half of the year into the fall will be much stronger as the fall of 2012 ended up.
My phone and email in box are filling up with people looking for jobs, I’m seeing a lot of trades men looking for a job that are willing to relocate if they can get a full time job in our area that will be long term.
The actual applicants are of all ages, but one trend that I am noticing is that there are a lot of younger people that have had some training from trade colleges and the provincial apprentice program looking for a job or at the least they are looking for a better one then where they are currently employed. It is a good trend to see that people are taking the time to become educated in the profession that they want to work in, but on the other hand most of the people that I have talked to have little to no on job experience.
In my company I do not require applicants to have experience, especially if they are applying for an apprenticeship position. What I am finding is that the salary expectations are out of line. Applicants are asking for too high a starting wage with little to no experience.
In a construction industry that is under a lot of strain because of the higher cost of materials, contractors cannot add to that cost with high unskilled labour costs. Ever tightening rules and regulations on safety and building codes are also driving up the price of custom homes. The squeeze on contractors is getting worse as a general theme, what is being heard from perspective clients is that the price of their new custom home is just too high. The cost of building a custom home has become prohibitive to a lot of people that in the past would be able to have a custom home built.
I am hearing more and more complaints from younger people that there aren’t that many jobs in the construction industry and even less that are offering apprenticeships. A lot of builders have shrunk their companies to the point where they do not have enough licensed tradesmen to qualify for apprentices. This is putting younger workers into a position where they do not get hours toward their apprenticeship if they take a job with one of these companies, but on the other hand with little work at the moment in the industry any job is better than nothing.
The growth of young females in a lot of the trades as apprenticeships continues to grow with more and more women taking the opportunity to get in the industry. Carpentry, cabinet making and electricians are seeing a healthy dose of women joining the ranks. Plumbing is one area that has not seen much growth with the female demographic, in general young people overall are not entering into the plumbing trade as apprentices. This is a strange thing for the ability to stay employed and make a higher salary as a plumber should be a larger draw, but for some reason the profession just doesn’t seem to be that attractive to younger people.
The construction industry seems to be in a holding pattern at the moment, with less than ideal conditions for growth. If the economy should turn around then the construction industry would be able to ramp up into a higher gear, there is a great potential for a lot of young smart enthusiastic people to be trained to help take the industry into the next generation. A properly trained younger, eager, enthusiastic workforce is something this industry with an aging skilled work force desperately requires.

Three rare Peregrine eggs - similar to ones found inside Jeffrey Lendrums jacket
The Egg Thief
For decades Jeffrey Lendrum helicoptered up and rappelled down to aeries on cliff faces from Patagonia to Quebec, snatching unhatched raptors and selling them, investigators believe, to wealthy Middle Eastern falconers. This week in London, one of the most bizarre criminals in modern history goes on trial for the fourth time. Here is his story.
Jeffrey Lendrum, 58, is currently in prison in the United Kingdom after being caught at Heathrow Airport with £ 100,000 in rare eggs attached to his body under a coat. This was not his first arrest, the smuggler was previously caught trying to sneak four peregrine falcon eggs to South Africa.
Originally arrested at Guarulhos airport in Sao Paulo, he was convicted of trafficking in endangered species. It was while on bail in Brazil, pending an appeal of a sentence of four and a half years in prison, he escaped. On his return to the Uk he was sentenced to three years and one month. The Rare eggs were found in his possession as he walked around Heathrow Airport
The Westminster Magistrates Court was informed how the intrepid thief and smuggler, who is believed to have hung from a helicopter to snatch eggs from the nests, did not appear before the Brazilian courts after being convicted in 2017. For the Crown, Stefan Hyman, prosecuting, said: ‘He was sentenced to four years and six months in prison by Brazilians. ‘The supreme court dismissed his appeal on May 19, 2017. “During the process, he was asked to appear before a local court every two months and did not appear, it seems he have left the jurisdiction.”
Appearing through the video link of Wandsworth Prison, Lendrum spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth. The hearing, which lasted only two minutes, confirmed that he would remain in prison until a trial management hearing in the same court on January 22, despite having served the custody part of his contraband sentence.

The Argentine said finally “yes” for Juventus and the “old lady” will make his arrival official these days.
Media across Italy brief that the two sides are finalizing the details and that Di Maria’s agents are in the final rush to sign Juventus.
The Argentine asked for time to consider whether to accept the decision, but after agents suggested that Juventus would be the perfect end to his career, he immediately accepted the offer.
Di Maria has played for Benfica, Real Madrid, Manchester United and PSG in Europe so far, and only with United he has not won a domestic title. He was European champion with Real.
According to the information, Di Maria at Juventus should earn 6 million per season.

Silently, it streams across our desktops, but its onomatopoetic name still applies: the ticker, capitalism’s seismograph, recording the tremblers of money shaping and reshaping the economic landscape.
Before the ticker, the secret life of cash was known only to the J.P. Morgan & Co. Inc.s of the world, and that knowledge allowed them to build empires that astounded the Gilded Age. Then the ticker came along, wantonly spilling their secrets to anyone who could get through the doors of a brokerage.
The first stock ticker, essentially a telegraphic printer, was invented in 1867 by Edward A. Calahan, but it was perfected and given its transcendent form – a seductively revealing glass dome atop a sturdy wooden pedestal – in 1869 by the ubiquitous Thomas Edison. Leveraging the telegraph lines laid along the transcontinental railroad, the Edison Universal Stock Ticker connected the farthest outposts of the United States to the New York Stock Exchange, spreading the gospel of the free market.
Today, facilitated by the Internet, watching the ticker has become a national pastime and so central to our culture that we use its name to refer to another machine that tracks the ups and downs of the market. And how is the ol’ ticker, anyway?

Marketing and media love to predict their own demise, but those reports are exaggerated, says Trevor Hardy, CEO of The Future Laboratory. If anything, there is a blurring of lines between specialties as more silos break down.
But the focus on technology has created a new fascination for marketers, who have neglected the emotional connections brands need to make, said Hardy. Now they are overreacting by embracing the “experience economy” and we are seeing an “experience glut to replace the product glut,” he said.
But experiences lose their currency if they don’t transform the consumer. That’s why as more brands embrace the transformation, they are also becoming interested in the realms of neuroscience and how to affect the consumer’s subconscious, he said.

Journal article Open Access
Background: The early diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), particularly in its prodromal stage, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) remains still a challenge. Many computational tools have been developed to successfully explore and predict the disease progression. In this context, the Spherical Brain Mapping (SBM) proved its ability in detecting differences between AD and aged subjects without symptoms of dementia. Being a very visual tool, its application in predicting MCI conversion to AD could be of great help to understand neurodegeneration and the disease progression.
Objective: In this work we aim at: predicting the conversion of MCI affected subjects to AD more than 6 months in advance of their conversion session and understanding the progression of the disease by predicting neuropsychological test outcomes from MRI data.
Methods: In order to do so, SBM is applied to a series of MRI scans from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). The resulting spherical brain maps show statistical and morphological information of the brain in a bidimensional plane, performing at the same time a significant feature reduction, that provides a feature vector used in classification analysis.
Results: The study achieves up to 92.3% accuracy in the AD vs normal controls (CTL) detection, and up to a 77.6% in detection a of MCI conversions when trained with AD and CTL subjects. The prediction of neuropsychological test outcomes achieved R2 rates up to more than 0.5. Significant regions according to t-test and correlation analysis match reported brain areas in the literature.
Conclusion: The results prove that Spherical Brain Mapping offers good ability to predict conversion patterns and cognitive state, at the same time that provides an additional aid for visualizing a two-dimensional abstraction map of the brain.

Approximately 6 million Americans or about 3 percent of all adults in the US are afflicted with bipolar disorder, a chemically-based psychiatric disorder that generally begins in the teens or early twenties. Its sufferers have a wide range of symptoms that affect their daily living.
There are two types of bipolar disorder, known as bipolar I and bipolar II disorder. With bipolar I disorder, individuals suffer from emotional highs interspersed with normal emotional states. With bipolar II, the individuals suffer from the emotional highs of the disorder interspersed with periods of lows or depression.
In the manic period of bipolar disorder, the individual often feels extreme energy, feelings of creativity and feelings of powerfulness. People who are in a manic phase often suffer from rapid speech, suffer from sleep deprivation and are overly hyper. They may also feel like they’re more powerful than others and have special powers no one else can appreciate.
But while mania has the feeling of euphoria at first, it often has becomes beyond the individual’s control. The individual often suffers from reckless and impulsive behavior when they have a manic episode and they can easily gamble too much, engage in risky sexual behavior or make bad business choices. They may also become excessively rageful, irritated by others, often choosing fights they wouldn’t otherwise make.
When one is suffering from the mental highs of bipolar disorder, doctors call it mania. The condition of hypomania occurs when a person is experiencing an elevated emotional state but isn’t experiencing all of the symptoms of mania. The common signs of mania include having impractical and grandiose ideas about oneself, feeling irritable or unusually “up” or “high”, being unable to sleep properly because of a high energy state, which goes along with their poor judgment. Concentration is poor and the individual talks about many different things at once. In more severe cases of mania, the person can experience hallucinations or delusions.
In hypomania, the symptoms are present but are just less severe. Sufferers may feel energetic and euphoric but they can actually be more productive rather than less productive. They do not suffer from hallucinations or delusions. In some cases, if left untreated, hypomania can progress to a state of mania.
In type II bipolar disorder, there are periods of bipolar depression or extreme emotional lows that alternate with the emotional highs. Some of the symptoms are like regular depression but bipolar depression often means the individual exhibits lower energy than regular depression. The sufferers tend to sleep a great deal and to move more slowly. They also have psychotic depression, which is rarely seen in regular depression.
Common symptoms associated with bipolar disorder type II depression include losing interest in those things the individual previously enjoyed, feeling sad, feeling empty, having poor energy level, having slowed mental state, thoughts of self loathing, difficulty concentrating or having a poor memory, sleeping too little or too much, having thoughts of suicide.
The treatment of bipolar disorder often means taking medication for the rest of one’s life. Common medications include the SSRI antidepressants, lithium or other mood stabilizer, taking an antipsychotic and sometimes taking a sleeping or anxiety medication. Psychotherapy helps the individual deal with the condition and helps catch slips in behavior before they get out of control.

Tonight is the longest night of the year. The earth's axis is at its maximum tilt away from the sun. It has happened every year for eons. Ancient civilizations have marked this occasion for millenia, using observatories such as Stonehenge and New Grange. It is perhaps the most important date in the history of mankind, since it represents the point at which the light returns and days get longer. A very powerful sign of hope as the world seemed to plunge endlessly into cold and darkness.

Air Hustlers is an alias for the occasional collaboration between heavyweights Noel Sanger and Kenneth Thomas. In 2008, they released ‘Flowers From Heaven‘ which featured the vocals of Dauby. Dennis Sheperd remixed the track at the time but it was never officially released so he later published it on his SoundCloud page.
While the original is typical of the melodic Progressive style of the 2000s, Dennis Sheperd’s Remix is more stripped back with a Trance vibe although it retains a strong Progressive influence.

The Garden Stand at Deer Creek School (and others) is OPEN for business! Last week I popped over to the school to see the stand first hand and snap some photos of it. It is downright adorable, stocked with fruits and veggies from The Food Love Farm as well as items that students brought from their own gardens.
Garden stand coordinator, Sydney Joyce told me about the first day and how it all went, “The kids helped in the morning to set up the stand (filling the bags with veggies, placing and filling the baskets) and promote it by shouting to everyone “fresh veggies, be sure to eat your veggies, come get some here”, they started this on their own and had a great time.”
Signs are in the making for next week, so be on the look out or better yet, make a special trip to Deer Creek and grab a bag of veggies and support the school’s enrichment programs!

Seminoles reload, look to repeat as ACC champs
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher believes his Seminoles still have enough talent to make a run at a second straight Atlantic Coast Conference championship despite all the talent they lost to the NFL.
Eleven players were selected in the NFL draft and another handful of Seminoles signed free agent contracts. Still, Fisher is confident the Seminoles will be right in the middle of things again this season.

Similar Bill, Pocket-Vetoed in January, Received Unanimous Legislative Approval Last Session
Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Tim Eustace to prohibit individuals convicted of carjacking, gang criminality, racketeering, making terroristic threats or the unlawful possession of a machine gun or handgun from purchasing or owning a firearm in New Jersey was advanced Thursday by an Assembly committee.
“This common sense public safety bill – which even gun rights groups can agree with – will give greater discretion to state prosecutors as they work to keep the public safe,” said Eustace (D-Bergen/Passaic). “This legislation is simply about protecting the people of New Jersey.”
The bill (A-2443) would add carjacking, gang criminality, racketeering, terroristic threat and unlawful possession of a machine gun or handgun convictions to the list of crimes that under current law would prohibit an individual from purchasing or owning a gun in the state.
Current law disqualifies a person who has been convicted of certain serious crimes from purchasing or owning firearms. These crimes include: aggravated assault; arson; burglary; escape; extortion; homicide; kidnapping; robbery; aggravated sexual assault; sexual assault; bias intimidation; endangering the welfare of a child; stalking; a crime involving domestic violence; certain crimes related to unlawful possession of weapons; and certain crimes related to controlled dangerous substances. Under this law, a person who has been convicted of any of these offenses and who possesses or owns a firearm is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Second degree crimes are punishable by a fine of up to $150,000, a term of imprisonment of five to 10 years or both.
Under the bill, an individual who purchases or owns a firearm, who has been convicted of any of the crimes specified in the bill, would also be guilty of a crime of the second degree.
“Guns are fatal when in the wrong hands,” said Eustace. “This bill can help keep guns away from individuals who have shown a clear disregard for their fellow man and the law.”
The bill was advanced by the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee.

Wray with Botton was the first parish council in the district to submit an application to develop a neighbourhood plan for its area.
Neighbourhood planning gives communities the chance to decide where new development should be and what it should look like. For example, new homes, shops and offices. A plan must be in line with the District’s Local Plan and is subject to an independent examination and community referendum. If approved, a neighbourhood plan forms part of the district’s Local Plan and it is used in helping to make decisions on planning applications.
Having formally received a plan for the Wray with Botton Parish area, the council will undertake a final consultation with members of the public before the Neighbourhood Plan can be submitted for examination by an independent planning inspector, who will determine if the plan meets certain criteria requirements and standards.
Coun Janice Hanson, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Regeneration and Planning, said: “Neighbourhood Planning is a real opportunity for our communities to positively shape their local area. We are pleased that Wray with Botton Parish Council is the first to formally submit its plan having been the first to apply to take one forward.
“On behalf of the council, I would like to acknowledge the amount of time and effort that the group has put into this over the past four years and welcome the opportunity to work together to finalise their plan over the coming months.”
Robert Partington, Chair of Wray with Botton Parish Council Neighbourhood Planning Group, said: "Many, many people have contributed to this Neighbourhood Plan. Getting to this point has been a significant achievement by the community.
“We have been mindful of the views of all concerned to meet the future needs of the area, balancing important development with conservation of this historic village set within the Forest of Bowland AONB. We have consulted carefully at every stage of its progress and believe that it reflects a broad consensus of opinion.”
Anyone wishing to be involved can view the submitted neighbourhood plan and associated documents at www.lancaster.gov.uk/wray-plan and email any comments to firstname.lastname@example.org or by post to Planning and Regeneration Team, Lancaster Town Hall, Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PJ. Paper copies are also available for viewing in Wray Village Institute and Lancaster and Morecambe Town Halls (on request).
Deadline for representations is Monday 23rd July.

HELENA – Gov. Steve Bullock late Thursday vetoed his second Republican bill this session to cut individual income taxes by tens of millions of dollars.
The Democratic governor vetoed Senate Bill 200 by Sen. Duane Ankney, R-Colstrip, which would have cut income taxes by nearly $200 million over the next two years. It would have reduced income tax rates, widened the tax brackets and cut the capital gains tax credit rate.
“SB200 primarily benefits the wealthiest individuals and costs close to $200 million over the next four years,” Bullock said. “Almost 40 percent of the benefit of SB200 would go to the top 10 percent of income earners, with 56 percent of the benefits going to individuals who earn more than $80,000.”
He said the experience of other states shows that “decimating your revenue base to benefit large corporations and the wealthiest individuals does not work to stimulate the economy,” Bullock said. “To the contrary, states like New Jersey, Wisconsin and Louisiana have seen these trickle-down experiments fail, resulting in funding cuts to schools, roads and other services and forcing these states into, in some cases, billion-dollar deficits.”
People are also reading…
Bullock said SB200 proposes to take Montana down that “failed path, despite the fact that Montana’s economy is growing and that our state and local tax burden is among the lowest in the nation.”
“I take my job to be a responsible steward of Montana taxpayer dollars serious,” Bullock said. “SB200 would undercut Montana’s fiscal health and strong job creating climiate that comes from it.”
Ankney said he thought he might have been able to get something out of SB200 if it reached Bullock’s desk at the same time as SB171, a bill to revise state income taxes by Sen. Bruce Tutvedt, R-Kalispell.
“I’m not surprised,” Ankney said. “I just couldn’t get the timing right. Hopefully, we can get a positive pen out of the governor on Bruce Tutvedt’s SB171.
Bullock earlier vetoed HB166 by House Majority Leader Keith Regier, R-Kalispell.
That bill would have cut state income taxes by $163 million over four years. It would have reduced each the tax rates in each of Montana’s seven tax brackets by two-tenths of a percentage point.
Attempts to override the veto failed.
After the veto Thursday, House Speaker Austin Knudsen, R-Culbertson, said, “We sent the governor HB166, which provided an across-the-board income tax cut, but it was vetoed on the grounds that it did not provide enough tax relief to the middle class. The Legislature listened and sent him SB200, which did just that.
“The governor is being disingenuous and has shown that he does not want to provide any relief to the hardworking men and women across this state. He only wants to grow government and increase spending.”


High Resistivity Measurement of SiC Wafers Using Different Techniques
Authors: Muzykov, P.G.; Khlebnikov, Y.I.; Regula, S.V.; Gao, Y.; Sudarshan, T.S.
Source: Journal of Electronic Materials, Volume 32, Number 6, 1 June 2003 , pp. 505-510(6)
Abstract:To establish fast, nondestructive, and inexpensive methods for resistivity measurements of SiC wafers, different resistivity-measurement techniques were tested for characterization of semi-insulating SiC wafers, namely,the four-point probe method with removable graphite contacts, the van der Pauw method with annealed metal and diffused contacts, the current-voltage (I-V) technique, and the contactless resistivity-measurement method. Comparison of different techniques is presented. The resistivity values of the semi-insulating SiC wafer measured using different techniques agree fairly well. As a result, application of removable graphite contacts is proposed for fast and nondestructive resistivity measurement of SiC wafers using the four-point probe method. High-temperature van der Pauw and room-temperature Hall characterization for the tested semi-insulating SiC wafer was also obtained and reported in this work.

Planning a 4 week trip through Thailand from June 9-July 8 this Summer. Flying round trip from LAX-BKK and I am planning on using Bangkok as a hub for traveling to the north and south of Thailand as well as a jumping off point for cheap airfare to Cambodia.
As of right now, its just me and my pack travelling solo, and I've only booked my airfare - nothing else. What kind of planning do I need to do ahead of time regarding a day-to-day breakdown of what city/region I'll be in and what guesthouse I'll stay in? I plan to stick mostly to the backpacking trail (although I would like to get off the beaten path a bit from time to time).
My basic itinerary is a few days in Bangkok, overnight train to Chang Mai (use Chang Mai as a hub for seeing the North of the country) and then I'll head back down to Bangkok before getting to the south of the country. Any recommendations about the best places to visit for about a week of R&R on a beautiful beach in the south would be much appreciated.
After some relaxation down South, I assume I'll retrace my steps to Bangkok before one more roundtrip into Siem Riep to see Angkor Wat and possibly Phnom Penh.
- Do I need to have accommodation booked in every place I intend to visit, or is it doable to simply research a day or two in advance (or even when I arrive) and find a decent, cheap, clean guesthouse?
- I plan to use the trains extensively to get about the country, especially for longer trips. What is the process for purchasing tickets, and how far in advance do I need to do it (say for Bangkok to Chang Mai)?
- Any recommendations for a good area in the south? Specific islands or places to stay?
- Tips on travelling to Cambodia would also be fantastic.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Welcome to Travelfish.
Generally speaking my advice would be to not overplan.
Unless you have very specific needs, and as long as you don't mind a bit of door-knocking, it isn't necessary to book in advance. There are a couple of exceptions to this tho - see this story for more info:
Your planned route is a good one and one lots of others do, so you shouldn't have any probs finding lodging etc,
On islands, depends on your interests. Here's some material to get you going:
Which island off Trang
What is the best island in Thailand

Hope that helps!

There are so many great islands in the south that people tend to get overwhelmed sorting WHICH ONE?
One way to eliminate a whole bunch of them in June-July is on the basis of weather - most of Thailand is in wet season at that time but the southern Gulf islands are usually still pretty dry - their wet season is normally Oct into Jan. Check figures on TRAVELFISH's great interactive weather map.
So this leaves 3 great islands - Samui, Phangan and Tao. And there are so many diverse beaches on each, particulary Phangan, that I reckon I could spend a whole 2 months on these just moving from beach to beach.
This doesn't mean other islands are out of the question. Wet season there usually sees plenty enough sunshine for a good beach holiday. This June I'll be in the Andaman for a few weeks - and then over on Phangan and Tao.
Note the driest island statistically after the southern Gulf ones is the central Gulf's Samet in June/July - the wettest, the eastern Gulf ones (big Chang and neighbours) and the Ranong area's little Chang and Phayam.
I was meant to be going to Thailand for a month on the 4th June but booked a connecting flight to Phnom Penh in Cambodia for like £75 coz the trouble in Bangkok is looking pretty grim. Google AirAsia they're dirt cheap and no nasty(and expensive)border crossings

No more trouble in BKK. Besides, the trouble was only in BKK, not in the North or South of Thailand.
As for the OP's questions, you do not have to pre-book trains. If you arrive the day of you can usually get a ticket for that night as long as it is not a holiday. The same is usually true for buses as well. Also, no need to reserve accomodations. As mentioned before, just be prepared to do a bit of looking around for something suitable. Most places will let you have a look at the room first.
As Tezza said, it will be monsoon in most of the country so you are better off going to the East islands where monsoon doesnt hit until October. However, the real rain won't start until August so you could go somewhere along the Andaman and still have nice weather. But there is no guarantee of that.
What sort of tips do you want for travelling to Cambodai? Border travel, or a general where to go once there?

Kirk Cameron: Defeat Obama to 'Hold Back the Flood of Moral and Spiritual Evil that has been Pouring into the Country'
Kirk Cameron told his fellow anti-Obama activists Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association that Christians must use the election to “hold back the flood of moral and spiritual evil that has been pouring into the country and give moms and dads and grandparents the opportunity to begin rebuilding morality and spirituality.” Wildmon added that Obama must be defeated for “freedom to reign.”
Perkins, who once claimed Obama voters must “repent,” described a conversation he had with prominent conservative pastor Jim Garlow about how God will grant America a “reprieve” and delay judgment if Obama is ousted. “I see what could happen here today if we are successful in removing someone from office who has basically set themselves in defiance to everything that is biblically oriented in terms of the history of our country and the word of God,” Perkins said, “that it’s a reprieve, it’s not a solution.”
He claimed that voters in 2008 “chose the economy over the moral foundation of the country when we selected Barack Obama as president,” arguing that an Obama defeat now could allow the church to “begin focusing on the moral and spiritual condition of our nation.”

Brady the Wonder Dog
As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the highlights of 2014 was a dog named Brady. This dog is so special to me that he deserves a post all to himself.
I met Brady when he arrived at the shelter in late 2013. He was a skinny stray Plott hound, skittish and untrained. Plott Hounds are the state dog of North Carolina yet it seemed that his state had not shown him much kindness. He was shy, anxious and painfully timid.
But he had these eyes. The kind that look straight past all your pretense, deep into your heart – the kind that see you. The eyes that ask, do you see me, too?
I did. His unknown past had draped him with layers and layers of fear and caution but shining through was the truest love and hope. I was determined to find him a home that would fully appreciate and care for him.
I carted him to adoption events, where Andrew would work with him on sitting and staying calm when loud cars rode by. This was no easy task for him – loud noise seemed to trigger a ‘fight or flight’ reaction, and for Brady, the answer was always flight, preferably to a small space where nobody could see him.
Brady also had zero manners around food. Treats came out and he would go crazy, jumping and drooling, no doubt owing to a past where meals were unreliable or unavailable. However, with training and patience, Brady learned to behave himself much better around treats. Before long he had morphed into quite a good dog … but one whose rough past seemed to haunt him.
Brady waited. And waited. And still no family picked him. And then the worst thing possible happened. He was adopted by the wrong person. His new owner promised to care for him and teach him but just a few weeks later, Brady turned back up at the shelter as a stray ….Â and his owner chose not to reclaim him.
I have no idea how much of those weeks Brady spent as a stray, fending for himself. He looked skinnier than he’d ever been and everything he’d learned seemed to have been buried under a sense of depression and anxiety that only grew with each passing day at the shelter.
At this point, I had 6 dogs at home. And having fostered in the past, I know that dogs have a way of teaching each other when we humans can’t. So, I brought Brady home to foster.
Our dogs welcomed him into the pack and then the coolest thing happened. We had a lounge chair on our porch that was basically Annie’s chair (she’s quite the sun-worshipper). She would never share that chair with any of the other dogs and everyone respected that.
But she shared it with Brady.
They both laid on that lounge chair for a long time on his first day with us and it seemed like she was telling him, ‘Hey I know where you’ve been. I was a skinny, unwanted hound – wary of everyone. But not all humans are bad – in fact some of them are pretty awesome and we’re gonna help you find some awesome ones.’
As Brady spent time with our dogs, he slowly stepped out of his shell.Â His carefully constructed walls of caution began to diminish. Brady settled into the routine of our house, learning to sit before he was fed (though drooling all the while), becoming slightly less insane about gobbling his food up in 8 seconds, walking on a leash and spending many afternoons napping & playing with Sasha.
I knew that having 7 dogs could not be a permanent situation but I also knew that Brady needed a truly good family. I prayed and prayed that he would find his forever family.
And then one day, it happened. I had been helping a woman search for just the right dog for quite awhile. She was looking for a German Shepherd but the match was never quite right. The more time I spent talking with her, the clearer it became that she was kind and conscientious and warm and caring.
She seemed like the perfect match for Brady.
So, an introduction was made.
And then Brady paid a house-call to see how he did with the resident cat. Brady adeptly realized it was best to let the cat have his way.
And then Brady was simply Brady, and his new parents fell in love.
He came back home with us until we could get his adoption finalized, and then it was time for ‘see you later’ … because with Brady, it will never be good-bye.
I made a solemn promise that if ever there is a need, Brady will come live with us. No questions asked. And that still stands, even though I’m across the country.
As it it turns out, Brady has the most amazing family so I don’t think that will ever happen.
His family is so wonderful, in fact, that Sasha got to have play dates with Brady right up until we moved.
And what a blessing it was to be able to see this special, special dog morph into a happy, healthy, loyal and loved hound. Brady was finally comfortable enough to share all of that infectious joy so unique to canines. He was home.
I still get regular updates from Brady’s mom about his life and what new thing he’s learned (or what stupid thing he’s done 🙂 )and it brings me an indescribable joy to know that he has a family who sees him. He still has issues but they see the goodness and loyalty and love that resonate in him.Â They guide him with patience and forgive his stubbornness and praise his triumphs. They are family.
Being around Brady taught me quite a bit – about how some people can surprise you in the worst way and how others can surprise you in the absolute best way.Â Brady was the classic underdogÂ – and he succeeded.
He is happy and loved and really, that’s all any of us could ever ask for.

(Bloomberg) -- Want the lowdown on European markets? In your inbox before the open, every day. Sign up here.Imperial Brands Plc picked former investment banker Therese Esperdy to replace its chairman as the U.K. cigarette maker struggles to keep up in the fast-changing tobacco industry.Esperdy, who retired from JPMorgan in 2015, will replace Mark Williamson in January and guide the search for a new chief executive officer. The new team will have to catch up with bigger rivals in next-generation products, navigate regulatory turmoil for e-cigarettes and gain back investors’ trust.Imperial also said Tuesday it aims to announce the sale of its premium cigar business soon as it seeks to raise cash to pay down debt. The stock swung between gains and declines in morning trading after the company forecast weak growth this fiscal year.Imperial, the smallest of the major tobacco companies, has had a hard time keeping up with rivals such as Philip Morris International Inc. as smokers increasingly switch to e-cigarettes and devices that heat tobacco without combustion. A health scare in the U.S. and competition from upstart Juul Labs Inc. have muddled what used to be a stable market for nicotine products.Halfwheel, a cigar industry blog, said Monday that Imperial plans to sell the premium cigar business unit to Huabao, a Chinese company with investments in tobacco. The price would probably be less than the $2 billion high-end estimate, the site said, citing people close to the talks it didn’t identify. A spokesman for Imperial declined to comment.The sale process is at an advanced stage, CEO Alison Cooper said. Imperial didn’t comment on Huabao.Imperial took a 525 million-pound ($677 million) impairment for the cigar business, which distributes Cuban brands like Romeo & Julieta through a joint venture. The company said other attempts to sell tobacco assets didn’t attract appropriate prices.Revenue and earnings per share will rise by a low single-digit percentage in the 12 months through September 2020, the company forecast Tuesday. Imperial normally targets growth of 1% to 4% in revenue and 4% to 8% in earnings per share, based on constant currencies.Imperial said growth will be weighted to the second half this year as the company seeks to revive sales of its next-generation products. Revenue from smoking alternatives rose 48% in the year through September, below the company’s expectations.The stock has lost more than half of its value in about three years. Last month the company announced its plans to replace Cooper. Imperial will announce a new CEO faster than it took to find a new chairman, Williamson said. That process took nine months as many potential candidates didn’t want to work for a tobacco company, he said.Esperdy’s appointment is great news for Imperial, said Nico von Stackelberg, an analyst at Liberum who highlighted the company’s 12% dividend yield. “A lot hinges on the incoming chair and CEO and their plan.”(Updates with executive comments in third, penultimate paragraphs.)To contact the reporter on this story: Corinne Gretler in Zurich at email@example.comTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Eric Pfanner at firstname.lastname@example.org, Thomas MulierFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
Whoever takes on the top job at Imperial Brands, the tobacco group, has a tough gig. Pre-tax profits for the year to September were down 7 per cent to £1.69bn, hit by a £525m writedown of the value of its premium cigar business and £139m in Russian excise tax liabilities, among other things. Net revenues were up 3.9 per cent, helped by strong currency tailwinds.
Imperial Brands indicated its difficulties are likely to spill into the next financial year as it outlined a “cautious approach” to its earnings and revenue outlook amid a clampdown on vaping and e-cigarettes in the US. for the year to the end of September, Imperial said it anticipates “low single-digit revenue and earnings per share growth” in the coming financial year, excluding the impact of divestments, and said it would temper its investment in cigarette alternatives. The cautionary note came as the group — previously known as Imperial Tobacco — reported revenue of £31.59bn for the year to the end of September, up just 2.2 per cent on the previous year at constant currencies, in line with the September warning.
Imperial Brands on Tuesday issued a "cautious" forecast for the year and named a new chairman as the tobacco producer grapples with challenges in e-cigarette products and vaping. The maker of Winston and Gauloises cigarettes reported full-year revenue from tobacco and next-generation products - e-cigarettes and vapour-based devices - of 7.99 billion pounds ($10.29 billion), up 3.9% on a constant-currency basis. "2019 has been a challenging year with results below our expectations due to tough trading in Next Generation Products," outgoing CEO Alison Cooper said in a statement.
IWG’s share price must be affected by the collapsing valuation of WeWork, its higher-profile rival in the serviced office sector. of IWG shares by Toscafund “seems anything but optimal”. : they are up 78 per cent since then, having added 4 per cent in the past two days.
Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has completed a periodic review of the ratings of Imperial Brands PLC and other ratings that are associated with the same analytical unit.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Imperial Brands Plc’s Alison Cooper is stepping down in a cloud of raspberry scented smoke.The timing isn’t surprising. It comes exactly a week after the British-based maker of Davidoff cigarettes and the Blu electronic device, lowered expectations for sales and profits after taking a hit in the U.S. vaping market. The warning brought to a head discussions about the company’s future leadership as the board conducts its search for a successor to Chairman Mark Williamson.Change is clearly needed. The shares of the smallest of the world’s major tobacco companies are roughly back where they were at the start of Cooper’s 9-year watch, having lost more than half of their value since a 2016 peak.Her successor faces a tall order. The new CEO will have to figure out how to make Imperial a strong force in tobacco alternatives. It currently ranks fourth in electronic smoking devices by units sold on a four-week basis. But in the heat-not-burn segment, its Pulze product is a relative newcomer in the Japanese market, where the products have taken hold more quickly than elsewhere. It’s important to have a clear strategy in each segment since no one really knows exactly where the market’s headed.Finding the right path forward won’t be easy, given the crisis engulfing vaping in the U.S., which has prompted efforts by President Donald Trump to ban flavored products and nicotine pads while some retailers including Walmart Inc. have stopped selling e-cigarettes.They must find a way through this. One option would be developing a boarder suite of tobacco alternatives alongside Imperial’s Blu vaping device. Stepping up development in heat-not-burn segment would also be wise.Rival British American Tobacco Plc has hedged its bets, with a presence in both vaping and the heat-not-burn segment. This is a model that Imperial should follow. But this would likely mean more investment.Duncan Fox, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, says Imperial can afford to spend more. First of all, it’s core business of traditional cigarettes — including local brands such as Winston in the U.S. — is cash generative. Plus, its 2 billion-pound ($2.5 billion) asset disposal program and decision to abandon its policy to increase its dividend by 10% annually should give it scope to act.The new chairman must also address corporate governance issues. Bloomberg News reported that investors and analysts had voiced concerns about Imperial’s earnings calculations and strategy.Imperial has long been seen as a takeover target, but it is now particularly vulnerable given the share price weakness and that industry consolidation is back on the agenda, even after Altria Group Inc. and Philip Morris International Inc. called off their merger talks.Japan Tobacco Inc. is often mooted as the likely predator, although it would have to find a way to deal with competition constraints.If the new chairman and chief executive don’t raise their game on alternatives, then someone else might light up even more radical change for them.To contact the author of this story: Andrea Felsted at email@example.comTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Melissa Pozsgay at firstname.lastname@example.orgThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.Andrea Felsted is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering the consumer and retail industries.

Imperial Brands Plc Chief Executive Officer Alison Cooper will step down once a replacement is found, a move that comes as the cigarette maker grapples with a regulatory backlash against e-cigarettes and declining tobacco sales. The departure of Cooper, who has led the maker of Davidoff cigarettes for nine years, comes days after it issued a full-year profit warning blaming the U.S. regulatory crackdown on vaping. It also follows the impending departure of Chairman Mark Williamson, who in February announced that he would step down once a successor was found, citing new British guidelines on the length of board chair tenures.
Imperial Brands Plc Chief Executive Officer Alison Cooper will step down once a replacement is found, a move that comes as the cigarette maker grapples with a regulatory backlash against e-cigarettes and declining tobacco sales. The departure of Cooper, who has led the maker of Davidoff cigarettes for nine years, comes days after it issued a full-year profit warning blaming the U.S. regulatory crackdown on vaping. The smallest of the four major global tobacco players in the world, Imperial has been slow to react to the vaping craze in the United States, a market where it generates nearly 30% of its annual profit.
Imperial Brands PLC said Thursday that Chief Executive Officer Alison Cooper and the board have agreed that she will step down when a suitable replacement is found.
Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Rep. Donna Shalala (D-FL) have introduced comprehensive legislation to address the rise in tobacco and e-cigarette usage among young people. Shalala joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the bill, why vaping has become a nonpartisan issue, and how Juul and other vaping companies should be "ashamed" of the role they've played in the epidemic.
Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (OTC: CBWTF) announced Wednesday the closing of a transaction with Imperial Tobacco Group plc (OTC: IMBBY). “We are delighted to announce the closing of this transaction to formally mark the start of our strategic partnership with Imperial Brands,” Auxly CEO Hugo Alves said in a statement. “We believe there is considerable opportunity for growth and value creation for both companies.

The U.K. maker of Blu e-cigarettes said profits per share will be flat this year compared with last year. It now expects revenue growth of just 2% for the year ending September 30, well short of its previous guidance of up to 4%.
A health warning from tobacco giant Imperial Brands on Thursday (September 26) - not about its products, but its finances. Full-year profits and revenues will take a hit, the British firm said ... From a regulatory crackdown on vaping in the U.S. - where it makes nearly a third of its profits. Its shares slipped 12 per cent after the statement. The U.S. government has announced a move to pull flavoured e-cigarettes from stores amid a spike in teenage usage ... And earlier this week, a senior official from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported on an investigation .... Into a mystery vaping-related disease that has sickened hundreds of people and killed nine. Imperial dropped the word 'Tobacco' from its name in 2016 but still makes Winston, Gauloises and other cigarette brands. It's cutting, it says, revenue growth forecasts by roughly half to two per cent. Earnings per share will be flat. Elsewhere too vaping is facing a growing backlash. India and Brazil have imposed bans on products. And on Wednesday (September 25), US tobacco firms Philip Morris and Altria - the biggest investor in e-cigarette maker Juul - axed their merger talks.

Berserkers were so badass they were outlawed. Yes, outlawed. Can you believe that? They fought with such ferocity that they would scare the hell out of their opponents before the battle even started. With a crazed look in their eye they would fight with scant amount of clothing on or none at all. Howling and screaming like animals while donning their pelts. It was as if madness descended upon them. This axe encompasses that madness with the knot of chaos etched on the handle. What a beaut! The handle is smooth to the touch and hand carved from sheesham wood with a rich warm stain. It is exquisitely wrapped in leather at the bottom to cushion the handle with a crisscross pattern at the top for an added look of authenticity. THE BLADE! OH MAN, the blade is truly a work of art. It is constructed from forged carbon steel with a weathered and dated finish. It comes sharp and battle ready. Enjoy cutting of the limbs and heads of your enemies. The only thing left to do is embrace the Rage.

Why you should begin your Financial Planning at an early age
The age between 20 and 45 may be the most productive period in anyone's life. But, those who belong to these age groups may have a tendency to squander money because they may want to enjoy life. They think that their right to seek enjoyment is non-negotiable. But, when they grow up and reach a certain age and when responsibilities pile up, they may wonder how they will be able to fulfill these responsibilities. So, it is better if young people give a serious thought about their financial planning as early as possible.
If you are young, you can start your financial planning in your twenties.This may positively impact your later life. It may benefit your family members also. It may make your retirement period smooth, though that period is a distant future.
Owning your Home
As you delay your financial planning, the benefits that may be available to you may proportionately come down also. You may decide to buy a home for which you may need money for down-payment. If you delay the process of financial planning, you may either be forced to raise a loan or settle down for a smaller home.
Children's higher Education
Similarly, if you get married and have children, you may have to spend for their higher education. Education has become quite expensive and especially, higher education may cost a fortune. By starting to save at an early age, you will have more number of years to save and you will have a substantial amount at your disposal for providing the best possible education to your children.
There are people who think of their retirement only at their age of 50. If they begin to save at the age of 50, they may not have sufficient funds with them during their retirement period. They may be forced to depend upon others. Nothing can be more painful than this. Further, when you attain your retirement age, you may not have the physical strength to move around and earn. Unless you are highly motivated, you may not feel like working hard for earning and living an independent life. If you want to lead a comfortable life during your retirement period, you must begin your savings at an early age.
You have several retirement plans available and you must study them carefully to choose the best ones that may suit you. If you invest in them consistently, your life during your retirement period will be smooth.
Investing in Life Insurance
Almost everyone buys life insurance. But, you should check if you are insured adequately. According to experts, your insured amount should help your family to lead a normal and comfortable life for about 7 to 10 years, even in your absence. Another group of experts say that your total life insurance should be seven times of your current earnings. If you are currently not insured to this extent, you should immediately take steps to fill this gap.
