Scotland have announced a 16-man squad for their tour of Namibia next month, and their Intercontinental Cup match in Windhoek in April.
The squad includes Craig Wright and Gordon Drummond, who will fly to Namibia from South Africa where they are coaching the national Under-15 and Under-20 squads on their respective tours. Due to work commitments, Glenn Rogers will join the squad just prior to Intercontinental Cup game, and Scotland also miss out on the experience of Dougie Brown who is injured.
"The trip to Namibia has been planned as a pre-season training camp, followed by a very important Intercontinental Cup game with Namibia," Peter Steindl, who was appointed Scotland's coach last December, said. "The squad has been training hard indoors since early January and we are all looking forward to preparing for the season ahead in the warmth of Africa."
"The squad reflects our established players, but will also give opportunities to players such as [Richie] Berrington, [Omer] Hussain, [Majid] Sheikh, [Simon] Smith and [Sean] Weeraratna to make an impression ahead of a full summer schedule."
Namibia are closing in on leaders Kenya in the Intercontinental Cup table, trailing by 18 points with a game in hand. Scotland, meanwhile, are mid-placed with one win out of three.

I recently found this interesting paper, “Impacts of manga on Indonesian readers’ self-efficacy and behavior intentions to imitate its visuals,” that attempts to dissect the factors influencing why Indonesian comic fans imitate the drawings in manga (pdf at academia.edu…account may be necessary to access).
They gave readers a copy of a manga (Naruto) and a non-manga comic (Tintin) and then had them rate the attractiveness of their visuals, the intentions behind imitation, and other factors. They found that people rated the manga as more attractive, more engaging, and eliciting more “psychological” responses. They conclude that “emotional attractiveness” is the primary factor for why people prefer manga to non-manga comics.
First, let me say that I really like that people are doing these types of sociological studies looking at these issues. I like the overall aims of this study, and especially the use of a data-driven methodology, and would like to see more approaches like this.
However, I think that the actual results are pretty confounded. The authors admit, for example, that the participants in the study already read comics, particularly manga (and some even had already read this issue of Naruto, but not Tintin!). This means that the results aren’t actually finding information about “blank slate” preferences for some inherent quality of manga vs. non-manga (here, a European comic). Thus, the results are a bit confounded for the intent of the study. So, this study doesn’t necessarily tease apart the influences on why they like and imitate manga.
Rather, these opinions reflect participants’ tastes having already selected manga as having their visual language of choice. Given this, I think the results more provide evidence that people who are already have preferences for comics using a particular visual language will therefore deem it more positively than comics using a different visual language. This might seem fairly trivial (of course people like the things they already like!), but providing in-group vs. out-group effects for a type of visual language would be consistent with the same effects that occur in spoken languages, where people have more positive views of their own dialects to others.
This of course leaves open the question of “why?” people are so keen on imitating manga across the world (Indonesia included). I personally think there are many factors, including sociocultural factors (the “coolness” of Japan and/or the types of people in the new country that read them), economic factors (price of books, etc.), story factors (subject matter, differing genres etc.), and others. However, as I have argued in several papers and my upcoming book, I think there’s also a cognitive factor based on the consistency of the visual vocabulary. Essentially, since the same visual language (i.e., “style”) is used across most all the books, it creates a consistent template for people to imitate. Compare that with the relative diversity in American and European comics—it’s much harder to identify a “group style” to associate with (and thereby become an in-group member of that “visual linguistic community”).
So… while I don’t think that the results really support what they set out to look at, I think this is an interesting paper nonetheless and I’d like to see more approaches to analyzing these sorts of issues using similarly data-driven approaches.

Year-to-date, the stock market is down 20-25%. Bonds are down 15% and the supposed inflation-fighting asset class of gold is down 10%.
Many financial experts are pontificating where inflation and the markets will go from here. But market forecasts are seldom accurate. At the beginning of the year several well-known and respected investment firms gave their market forecast for 2022. They ranged from up 6% to up 11%.(1) These predictions are not even close to what happened this year.
Given that expert predictions are of no use, what can we do to make the best decisions going forward? The market may not repeat over time, but it tends to rhyme. So, it may be helpful to learn from the past.
Learning From the Past
Interest rates have increased many times in market history. Prior interest rate increases, even significant increases, did not prevent markets from going higher. In the inflationary 70’s (1972-198) interest rates increased by over 11%. Those that remained invested in the market and reinvested dividends during that period achieved an annualized return of over 7%.(2)
Even when we have faced brutal bear markets, they often recovered within a few years. The Global Financial crisis saw markets drop 56%, but within 3 years of hitting the bottom, it had recovered all its loss plus some.(3) Past performance may not repeat itself, but history shows markets and economies have a history of adapting, adjusting, and recovering from difficult times.
As you decide what to do going forward, I encourage you to ignore forecasts. They may be alluring and provide an illusion of certainty but may mislead you to making an unwise decision.
Instead, let’s have a conversation together. This will help put things in proper perspective by identifying your current situation, learning from past situations, and discussing the pros and cons of your current strategy as well as any potential changes needed. Overall trust your plan and the process.

Due to the continued outbreak and spread of the Novel Coronavirus, and restrictions on public gatherings in Switzerland, along with the increased travel restrictions announced, the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup Finals in Switzerland had to be cancelled
Ski Cross Crystal Globe fight on the women’s side over
This means that the open fight for the ski cross Crystal Globe is not going to be carried out. As Sandra Naeslund (SWE) was 59 points ahead of her chaser Fanny Smith (SUI), the Crystal Globe went to the Swedish 23-year-old for the second time after her hugely successful season of 2017/18, where she also won the FIS Freestyle Overall Crystal Globe by landing on the podium at each competition of the season, mostly at the very top in first place.
Since Naeslund had crashed in the semifinals at the previous competition in Sunny Valley (RUS), she was “only” able to win the small final, not allowing her to earn enough points to seal the deal completely on the overall SX World Cup win, therefore we would have loved to watch the final fight between the two exceptional athletes. Naeslund has been on the podium nine times this season, of which she took home three victories.
The fight over the SX Crystal Globe would have been carried out on Fanny Smith’s home soil with her family and friends cheering her on, which she claims to be a big motivation, but also big pressure for her. For sure this would have given the Swiss ski cross star a big kick to try to get that highly anticipated Crystal Globe home again.
Smith has had a highly successful season this year with seven podium spots of which four were wins. It should also be noted that Smith has won her first SX Crystal Globe in 2013 and ever since has never finished a season below the third World Cup rank.
So, in theory, Smith still had a chance to grab the globe this season, but with the unfortunate cancellation of the event, the Crystal Globe of 2019/20 went to Sandra Naeslund (SWE).
Marielle Thompson (CAN) secured the third rank in the overall standings for the second year in a row after also a quite successful season, but not enough podium spots to have been in the fight for the first rank.
Kevin Drury is the ski cross Crystal Globe winner of 2019/20
Ever since his win in Megève (FRA) at the beginning of February, Kevin Drury (CAN) has earned a margin of World Cup points big enough to not be threatened by anyone of his competitiors. Drury has had the most successful season of his career, having landed on the podium either as winner or in second position in seven out of ten competitions this year.
Drury seemed to be unstoppable and always on fire, showing incredible passes, great technical skills and some really fast skiing.
Nobody of his competitors was able to reach the level Drury showed from the beginning of December. Therefore, the Crystal Globe is for sure very well deserved!
The battle for second and third overall ski cross rank on the men’s side, however, was still open. With the cancellation of the finals, the second rank goes to Ryan Regez (SUI) with a total of 454 points (314 points behind Drury), and third rank goes to Olympic Champion Brady Leman (CAN) with 428 points.
Thomas Mayrpeter from Austria and Canada’s Courtney Hoffos have won the Rookie of the year awards of the season and the Nation Cup went to an unbeatable Canadaian team this year.
It is really unfortunate that we cannot witness the final show of the year and that the season had to come to an abrupt end without proper finals, but the health and welfare of the athletes and all other participants, as well as the general public are in the forefront and the priority of all stakeholders of FIS competitions and therefore we wish everyone safe travels home.
Congratulations to everybody on an amazing season, congratulations to the World Cup winners and FIS Freestyle wishes everyone a great summer, see you again next season!

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 492,908, filed May 9, 1983, now abandoned.
This application is related to the co-pending application of Joseph C. Leigerton, Ser. No. 409,229, filed Aug. 18, 1982, entitled "Roof Bit".
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to drill bits and in particular to roof bits used to drill holes in mine roofs for the purpose of installing anchor bolts to support mine roofs during mining operations.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
In the early 1950's, the coal mining industry began to support mine roofs with an anchor bolting system, rather than by the former system of timbering. During installation of the anchor bolting system, one inch to one and one-half inch holes are drilled in the roof of the mine. Six-inch square plates are then bolted to the roof with roof bolts that extend upward through several layers of rock. The bolts and plates bind the strata together so that the bottom layers cannot collapse into the mine. Two different methods are used to secure the bolts in the drilled holes. One method is to use mechanical expansion and tensioning bolts, and the other method is to cement the bolts in place with a setting resin.
The holes for the bolts are generally drilled with a drilling system having a power source rotating a length of drill steel with a roof bit attached at the end. An example of such a drilling system is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,099,585. Early drills were light-weight and high-speed, with little upward thrust, but the power sources on more modern drills are usually around 75 horsepower and can generate up to approximately 10,000 pounds of thrust and 350 pounds torque. Rotation speeds are variable between 100 and 700 rpm, but approximately 500 rpm is most common.
As a hole is drilled, the dust that is produced must be removed from the hole in some manner. Early drilling systems either had augers to pull the dust out or merely allowed the dust to fall out of the hole. Later it was discovered that a vacuum could be put on the hole to draw the dust out between the drill steel and the sides of the hole. In modern drilling systems the dust is forced by a vacuum through dust ports into the interior of a hollow drill steel, and then out of the hole. U.S. Pat. No. 3,187,825 illustrates both interior and exterior vacuum dust collection systems.
The modern roof bit has a hard carbide insert which forms the cutting edge of the bit. As the roof of the mine is drilled, particles of dust are directed downward, toward the dust ports, by multiple work surfaces on the bit body. Many different combinations of work surfaces and dust ports have been tried in the attempt to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,434,553 and 3,434,554 show roof bits in which the dust ports are drilled in the dust control surfaces downwardly at an angle. In contrast, U.S. Pat. No. 4,313,506 discloses a roof bit in which the dust ports are positioned below the work surfaces.
The general object of this invention is to provide a roof bit which maximizes cutting efficiency, and minimizes production costs and steel plugging. In general this object is accomplished by the provision of a roof bit with multiple work surfaces which define parallel crown lines on each side of the cutter insert. Further, the roof bit has a pair of diametrically opposed dust ports which are drilled on an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the bit body, and are located at least partly in the work surfaces.
This design maximizes cutting efficiency by creating a minimum of steel plugging which would interfere with the drilling process. The design also minimizes production costs by allowing the work surfaces to be straddle milled in a single pass and by allowing both dust ports to be drilled in a single pass.
Further, the design of the roof bit may be adjusted by moving the dust ports up or down on the work surfaces to vary the width of the dust port throat. This relatively easy design variation allows the bit manufacturer to provide the optimum throat width for the roof conditions, to maximize rate of penetration and minimize steel plugging.
The above, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a side view of the cutter bit.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the cutter bit, at an angle of 90 degrees from the view in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the cutter bit.
FIG. 4 is a side view of the cutter bit, at an angle of 35 degrees from the view in FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a top view of the cutter bit.
The preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the drawing, is a roof bit having a tubular body 11, having a closed upper end 13 and an open lower end 15. The interior of the bit body 11 is a hexagonal bore 17 which extends from the open lower end 15 to near the closed upper end 13 of the bit. The bit body 11 also has a small retention hole 19 near the open lower end 15 for securing the cutter bit to the drill steel (not shown).
At the upper end 13, the bit has a plate-like, hard carbide insert 21, mounted in a transverse groove 23. A flat braze shim 25 is placed on each side of the insert 21 and then the insert 21 is brazed to the steel of the bit body 11. The insert 21 may also be mounted by press fitting the insert 21 into the groove 23, with or without using malleable shims 25. The ends of the insert 21 extend slightly beyond the sides of the body 11 so that the hole will be slightly larger than the bit body 11.
The upper end 13 of the bit body 11 also has multiple work surfaces, including a pair of heel surfaces 27 and a pair of dust control surfaces 29. The heel surfaces 27 are disposed on opposite sides of the cutter insert 21 and taper downwardly and outwardly away from the longitudinal central axis 31 of the bit body 11. The dust control surfaces 29 are also oppositely disposed and taper downwardly and outwardly, but at a greater inclined angle than the heel surfaces 27. The intersection or junction between the heel surface 27 and dust control surface 29 on each side of the insert 21 defines a crown line 33 which intersects the groove 21 in an oblique fashion and runs downwardly from the insert 21. The crown lines 33 on each side of the insert 21 intersect the groove 21 at the same angle, so the crown lines 33 are parallel. This arrangement allows the cutter bit body 11 to be straddle-milled so that both dust control surfaces 29 are formed in a single pass.
Below the groove 23, the bit body 11 has a pair of dust ports, or openings 35, which extend into the bore 17 of the body 11. These openings 35 are located on diametically opposite sides of the bit body 11, and at least partly in the dust control surfaces 29. Both openings 35 are drilled on the same axis 37, which is transverse to the longitudinal central axis 31 of the bit body 11. This allows the two openings 35 to be drilled in a single pass, thus minimizing production costs.
In operation the cutter bit 11 is connected to a hollow, hexagonal drill steel (not shown) by inserting the drill steel into the lower end 15 of the bit. A button on the drill steel engages the retention hole 19 on the bit body 11 to secure the bit to the drill steel. As the drill steel rotates the bit, the carbide insert 21 cuts a hole in the mine roof. A vacuum draws the dust and other cuttings across the dust control surfaces 29, through the dust ports 35, through the bore 17 of the bit body 11, and then out of the hole by way of the drill steel.
While the invention has been shown in only one of its forms, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible to various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit thereof.

So, I have a bit of an addiction to A Beautiful Mess – I really love the sisterly vibe they’ve got going on, and I seem to like almost everything they create/bake/wear/do! A little while ago they posted this great DIY stencilled wall:
…and I was a little bit in love. Fair enough, Colin didn’t want horses/anchors/arrows on the wall, but I managed to convince him that circles could work!
When I first moved into the house our stairwell was kept plain with the idea we’d fill it with framed photos, although almost a year later and that still hasn’t happened yet. The wall is nice and high but looked so uninspiring, so I decided that this was the perfect locale for some polka dots:
I thought gold could work well with the existing wall colour, and a foil finish would (hopefully) look nice with the light coming through, so hunted around for some gold foil wall paint. But after about, oh, two minutes I realised I didn’t want to be up a ladder trying the paint perfect circles, so found some wall decal stickers on ebay instead. Yes please for less than £10 for the entire job with plenty to spare! I think the whole thing took me about an hour and a half to do (including enlisting Colin’s height services for the highest ones!) I used a 30cm ruler to space out the dots and a spirit level to keep them in line (ish). My style of DIY is not quite slap-dash, but not exactly Type-A, so I’m pleased with the not-perfect end result and saved myself hours of meticulously measuring them all out in the process!
If you like the spotty look, here are some similar ideas from Pinterest:

Less than a week after winning the Labour leader election, Sir Keir Starmer named Naz Shah as his Minister for Social Cohesion. And if that name sounds familiar, it's because Shah is the women who thought that the victims of Muslim rape gangs should keep their mouths shut for the sake of diversity. How's that for a kick in the teeth?
But it gets worse, especially when we compare Shah's promotion to the shadow cabinet with how Labour has dealt with other MPs spoke out about mass, racially motivated sex crimes carried out against some of the most vulnerable (and precious) members of our society.
Let's start with Sarah Champion. In 2017, Sarah Champion wrote an opinion piece for the Sun titled 'British Pakistani men ARE raping and exploiting white girls ... and it's time we faced up to it.' Given the subject matter, Champion's piece was somewhat restrained, stating: "Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls." It's important to remember that Champion had previously worked as the Shadow Minister for Preventing Abuse. And at the time of the article, she was Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities. In other words, Champion was doing her job.
So how did Labour repay Champion for trying to prevent abuse and protect young women? Well, they forced her to resign. Meanwhile, Naz Shah, who described Champion's comments as incendiary and irresponsible, carried on representing her majority Muslim constituency in Bradford West. Shah also reminded us that 90% of sex offenders in the UK are white. Once again, a British politician had failed to grasp the (very simple) concept of per capita. Is this a lack of intelligence on Shah's behalf? We all know there's more to the story than that.
Now let's look at the case of Trevor Phillips. Phillips's parents emigrated here from British Guiana in 1950, which means he isn't white. And that's probably why he was given a little more leeway on comments he made in 2016 about some of our more recent arrivals. They included "Muslims are not like us" and that they "see the world differently from the rest of us."
Fast forward to March 2020. Labour reopened the file on Phillips, suspending him over allegations of Islamophobia. Here's a quote from the Times:
"Mr Phillips has been suspended pending investigation over remarks, including expressing concerns about Pakistani Muslim men sexually abusing children in northern British towns."
But why, after four years, had the party decided to rake up these old charges? Unfortunately, we'll never really know - the details of the investigation were not made public.
However, just a month earlier, Sajid Javid had announced that the Government would not release the official report into the grooming gangs scandal, claiming it was "not in the pubic's interest". And this was after Javid promised to leave no stone unturned during the investigation.
A few weeks after that slap in the face, in the same month Phillips was suspended from the opposition party, BBC news announced that the Government would consider a parliamentary debate on the matter following a petition signed by over 100,000 members of the British public.
A coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. But it doesn't actually matter. Because even on a symbolic level, this confluence of events reveals a much deeper truth - and we all know what that is. Moreover, not a single Labour politician challenged this government cover-up, not one MP from the working people's party raised a concern for the welfare of these lost children.
And now, with politicians like Naz Shah and David Lammy sitting in the shadow cabinet, it's highly unlikely that the opposition will live up to its duty to the democratic process or, more importantly, to the native British people.
We started with a kick in the teeth, so let's end with another. Shah was never suspended for sharing (and liking) that infamous tweet. And she has never issued an apology. But Shah has been suspended from the Labour party. She has stood up and apologised to parliament and, by extension, to the British public. The charge? Anti-semitism. The crime? Sharing a Facebook post of a map of Israel imposed on the United States of America.
The ruling party refuses to acknowledge crimes committed against the native population. Meanwhile, the opposition party sits in silence. When both sides of the house treats its people with such disdain, then surely the only solution for the natives is some kind of alternative.

Preparation for our first round of plantings in Western North Carolina began several months ago at our roundtable discussion with the NC State Cooperative Extension and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Henderson County. These early meetings introduced us to two farmers, Jason Davis and Tony Hill, who were willing to experiment with growing malting barley in the mountains. Our initial meetings included a review of the 2012 Official Variety Trial (OVT) results from North Carolina and Virginia. Data from these trials serve as a guide to manage weed and disease pressure at crucial periods of plant growth.
As planting dates approached, we agreed upon a course of action that achieved a number of research and economic goals:
1) Thoroughbred (6-row) Plantings – We chose this variety to work with in 2010 based on our conversations with the small grains researchers at the USDA and NC State University. This variety was developed from a malting quality variety called Plaisant (French 6-row variety) and performs well throughout the piedmont and coastal plain regions of North Carolina. Tony Hill agreed to plant 30 acres and Jason Davis has planted 12 acres right across from the new Sierra Nevada facility!
2) Endeavor (2-row) Plantings – Historically, 2-row barley trials in Virginia and North Carolina have not supported commercial production due to high levels of disease pressure and low yields. However, the recently released Endeavor variety offers an exciting opportunity to bring a viable 2-row variety to the craft breweries of the southeast.
3) OVT Plots – Jason Davis, owner of North River Farms, offered a small plot of land for researchers to conduct small-scale testing of more experimental varieties in our area. Data collected from these plots will help guide the selection and development of new 6-row and 2-row varieties that thrive in our climate.
Check out this great article from Blue Ridge Now for more information on our plantings in WNC and see our Facebook page for more photos from the field trials. We’ll keep you posted on the progress this spring!
Field Notes – 10/24
Nailing down a planting date for the Endeavor took some careful planning. On one hand, we had to avoid heavy rainfall, on the other, we needed to beat the first frost. Looking ahead to next year, we had to get the barley in the ground so it wouldn’t interfere with Tony’s soybean crop. We settled on a day in late October for the planting and headed down to Hendersonville to witness a “day in the life” of a barley farmer.
Arriving at Tony’s farm on a sunny fall afternoon, Tony’s father was just finishing up tilling the field, driving the tractor in big, slow circles around the 10-acre plot. Life moves at a different pace out on the farm. So many of us are plugged into current events, email, a daily storm of activity…it seems much slower and more deliberate out in the field.
Tony was proud to point out that his dad is 91 years old and still working the land! As we scoped out the field the day before, Tony showed us a crop of tomatoes his son had grown and invited us to pick some before the frost. Working with a triple-generation, family business like Tony’s is exactly the kind of relationship we’re trying to bring back to the food system. It’s something that’s lost in most of the beer industry.
We know that the work we do out here will have a big impact in years to come, bringing the farming community together with the brewing community to build a robust, local beer economy. Tony mentioned that one of his friends is interested in growing for us…this is how we start a movement!

Women’s Action Forum Lahore condemns, in the strongest terms possible and demands stern action against Member Punjab Assembly, Sheikh Allauddin of the Unification Block for using abusive and filthy language for women members of the house on 20th June 2012. It also condemns those members who supported this behaviour through desk thumping.
Sheikh Allaudin, who is himself a ‘floor crosser’, has a history of using derogatory language against women including vulgar and filthy gestures. It is a matter of deep concern that instead of condemning his behaviour ruling party MPAs and their allies gave him full support as manifested through the physical assault and harassment of women MPAs on the following day. This behaviour has shamed the nation and bodes ill for the future as it denigrates women and encourages violence against them.
WAF is appalled by the silence of the Chief Minister and his aides who make tall claims about the honour of women and for their protection and rights. When elected women members of the Punjab Assembly are not safe from verbal and physical assault inside the house, what hope is there the ordinary woman? This behaviour has shamed all Pakistani men both nationally and internationally.
WAF demands registration of criminal cases of sexual assault and abuse against the said members on the basis of the written application already filed with the police by the women MPAs who were subjected to this violence.
WAF expects and demands of the women parliamentarians of the Unification Block to hold
Members like Sheikh Allaudin accountable for their behaviour towards women MPAs.
WAF urges the Election Commission to take notice of the fact that in his tirade against women Sheikh Allaudin openly ridiculed the Constitutional provision of reserved seats for women.

This document explains how to setup the Contracts and Job Costing Modules so that the Contract Job Costing Forecast report can be run to show Outstanding Purchase Order Costs in Weekly, Monthly or Quarterly time buckets for cashflow planning purposes.
To make use of the Contract Job Costing Forecast report, the Contracts & Job Costing modules for the dataset should be configured consistent with the BusinessCraft Residential Building Tutorial. Additional configuration required includes:
Create TMR Codes for the purposes of running the report
Link Cost Centres to those TMR Codes
Link those TMR Codes to Sale Group Stages
The estimated cashflow outflow for each Outstanding Purchase Order is determined by using the Cost Centre for the Purchase Order, looking up the TMR Code for the Cost Centre, using that TMR Code to determine the Sales Stage for the Sale Group for the Contract and then using the Forecast/Registration Date for the Completion Event for the Sales Stage for the cash outflow, optionally extended by the Payment Terms for the Purchase Order Vendor.
This guide explains this additional configuration in detail before explaining how to run the Contract Job Costing Forecast report.
Create required TMR Codes
Create any required TMR Codes by going to Job Costing > Tables > Additional Tables > TMR – here is an example of TMR codes setup for the purposes of running the report:
Link Cost Centres to TMR Codes
For each TMR Code use the Cost Centres (F5) function key to link all required cost centres to a TMR code:
Ideally every Cost Centre will be linked to one TMR code:
If a Cost Centre is not linked to a TMR Code, Purchase Orders for that Cost Centre will be shown in the Overdue Column on the report.
If a Cost Centre is linked to more than one TMR Code, the first TMR code is used to determine the forecast/registration date
It is not possible to link a Cost Centre to a TMR code more than once
After using the Cost Centres (F5) function key for a TMR Code, the TMR Cost Centres screen is displayed. Enter/select the required Cost Centres for the TMR Code:
Link each TMR Code to a Sale Group Stage

The Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of Black Wall Street, and the death of George Floyd both occurred this week in history. We must remember. May I suggest that remembering through the lens of loving one’s neighbor as oneself might be a path to allowing the gospel to influence thoughts on reparations for the descendants of those harmed by the 1921 racial injustice event in Tulsa? If your family lost their businesses, homes, churches, and community to a systematic, racially-incited riot that was unprovoked, and no one was ever charged for a crime, and it set back your family financially, professionally, and emotionally for the next 100 years, what would you hope for in return for wrongs to be set aright?
CBS’ 60 Minutes did a good piece on the massacre recently. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tulsa-race-massacre-60-minutes-2021-05-23/.

Video: "Popular Song" - MIKA ft. Ariana Grande
Love the song since I heard it a few weeks ago.
Mika has debuted the new video for “Popular Song” featuring Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande.
The song offers a fresh twist on “Popular” from the Broadway hit “Wicked”, composed by Stephen Schwartz. In an historic move, Schwartz was so moved by this interpretation that he authorized the usage of his music for the first time ever.
Mika has now sold over 8 million records and Gold or Platinum awards in 32 countries worldwide across his previous two albums ‘Life in Cartoon Motion’ and ‘The Boy Who Knew Too Much’, winning Brit and MTV Awards in the process.

"Popular Song" is available for download on iTunes

Billy Raffoul just can’t get a grip in the new video for his debut single “Driver” — quite literally.
The video, premiering exclusively here on Billboard today (June 20), has the 22-year-old Canadian artist levitating to the ceiling of his bedroom, grasping in vain as objects — a glass of water, a lighter, a globe — float just out of reach around him. It’s a fitting visual for the husky, rough-hewn rock track, which begins with the lyric, “I feel like I’m floating.”
“I was a big fan of comic book heroes growing up,” Raffoul tells Billboard of the new video, “so it was fun to feel like Peter Parker and climb walls for a day.”
But the can’t-get-a-grip video isn’t so fitting for Raffoul in real life, as he seems to have a grip on just about everything. The artist recently inked a deal with Interscope, and is gearing up to drop a debut EP in August. Meanwhile, he’ll release his second single, “Dark Four Door,” on July 14, and is set to support Kings of Leon at their British Summer Time show in London on July 6.
Watch the dizzying video below, and scroll on for Raffoul’s summer touring schedule, where he’ll support fellow indie rocker Mondo Cozmo.

Thompson's departure not affecting MSU's recruiting
STARKVILLE -- The fall signing period for baseball begins Nov. 11 and extends through Nov. 18. At his introductory press conference at Auburn, former Mississippi State pitching coach Butch Thompson said he wouldn't reach out to any of MSU's commits for 2016.
It may not matter if he did anyway.
Nearly a dozen Mississippi State commits flocked to Twitter after Thompson joined Auburn. The potential signees praised Thompson but also reiterated their commitment to Mississippi State.
Will Brooks INF/OF
Denver McQuary RHP/OF
Douglas Ashcraft RHP
Reed Smith INF
Riley Self RHP
Dustin Skelton C
The support comes as Mississippi State lost its pitching coach, but Nick Mingione remains as the recruiting coordinator. The class of 2017, which will take the field in 2018 also showed their support.
The 2016 class currently ranks 12th in the country according to Perfect Game. The class of 2017 ranks 10th.

The Clarion-Ledger has confirmed reports by College Baseball Daily and Division I Baseball that Jason Dietrich is a favorite for Thompson's vacancy.
Dietrich has spent the last three seasons at Cal State Fullerton. His Titans staff led the country in WHIP, fewest walks and strikeout to walk ratio the last three years.

Mumbai-based JustDispose will make an assessment of the value of existing hardware
In a bid to woo small and medium businesses (SMBs), Microsoft India has announced a new trade-in scheme, offering them an opportunity to exchange legacy hardware and use the proceeds to buy credit on Microsoft’s cloud service Windows Azure.
Making the announcement on the sidelines of the ongoing two-day Azure Conference here , the company said that currently Mumbai-based JustDispose is the authorised hardware recycle partner for making an assessment of the value of existing hardware. After the assessment is made based on residual value, the SMB can use proceeds to obtain monthly credit based on an upfront initial commitment, the company said.
This is the first time Microsoft has come up with such an offer for any business segment across the global geographies the company operates in, said Karan Bajwa, MD, Microsoft India.
Microsoft had announced that the Azure platform is picking up among businesses in India. Mr. Bajwa said that at the highest tier (the highest level of quality of hardware traded in), credits offered will be enough to pay 50 per cent of the upfront value. He clarified that Microsoft defines as SMB any organisation that has up to 250 PCs.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard has today welcomed the completion of the new £2.8 million Rathlin Ferry.
The new ferry, named ‘The Spirit of Rathlin’ will operate between Rathlin Island and Ballycastle and will carry both passengers and vehicles. It will replace the aging MV Canna vessel and operate alongside the MV Rathlin Express, a passenger only ferry.
A new £1 million harbour is also being built on Rathlin Island to accommodate the new ferry and is due to be completed shortly.
The Minister said:
“I am delighted to announce completion of the new car and passenger ferry for Rathlin Island. This is excellent news for the people of Rathlin and particularly for those who use this essential service to go about their daily business.
"The ‘Spirit of Rathlin’ ferry will ensure that passenger and vehicle services can continue to be provided on this important lifeline route between Rathlin Island and Ballycastle. This new ferry has been designed to modern standards and includes the latest technology for the service it will operate.”
The new Spirit of Rathlin ferry includes a modern passenger lounge and an upper passenger deck for use by passengers during good weather. It will be operated under a new ten year contract awarded to Rathlin Island Ferry Limited.
Once the harbour is complete and a Passenger Certificate has been obtained from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the new Spirit of Rathlin ferry will come into service.
Chris Hazzard continued saying:
“The new ferry and future harbour development will be key to ensuring Rathlin’s continued sustainable growth. Investment in both will honour the commitment given in my Department’s recently published Rathlin Island Action Plan to improve the island’s infrastructure and ensure that the community continues to have access to necessary services.”
Notes to editors:
- The Department for Infrastructure provides five sailings per day between Rathlin Island and Ballycastle over the autumn and winter period. More frequent sailings are provided during the spring and summer seasons.
- The new ferry was built by Arklow Marine Services in Arklow, Co. Wicklow at a cost of £2.8 million.
- More information about the service can be obtained from the Rathlin Ferry Ltd website at: rathlinballycastleferry.com
- Media enquiries should be directed to the Department for Infrastructure Press Office on 028 9054 0007. Out of office hours please contact the duty press officer via pager number 07623 974 383 and your call will be returned.

De drie Stoepen The Hague
The building was built between 1726 and 1730 as three major Louis XIV-style city palaces, which later became popularly known as "De drie stoepen". The three houses have long functioned as one building and served as a museum, court, official residence, seat of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, theatre, pop venue and offices. Internally - especially in the Prinsegracht 69 and 71 buildings - much has changed. There is a later extension in the courtyard. The original garden has disappeared and has been turned into parking spaces. The interior is beaten with only two rooms, one stairwell and three skylights which still have high cultural-historical value.
The national monument is being restored and transformed into 58 apartments with a new extension and garden at the rear. The monumental structures of the three separate houses are being restored. Each building has its own entrance via the original stairs with the monumental hall and stairs behind it. The later extension will be replaced by a smaller "garden house" with a facade that harmonizes with the classical rear facade of the monument. The parking space is halved so that a garden can be laid out again. Building starts in summer 2020.

Young voters have the 'potential to change politics' starting this November
One night a week, a group of Conejo Valley young adults meets at The Oaks mall. It would be typical teenage behavior and passersby might not take a second look, except these kids are planning how to engage young voters for the upcoming midterm election.
Their focus is perhaps the most contentious school board race in Ventura County: the Conejo Valley Unified School District.
“It’s stressful because we have the ability to have all this power and be able to do so much, but whether we actually use that power is up to us and how we mobilize,” said Bella Robakowski, a senior at Newbury Park High School and president of Never Again SoCal, a group of students dedicated to activism and civic engagement that came together last spring. “These are our lives on the line. We have all this power, we have to make sure we actually use it.”
More election coverage:
- Conejo Valley school candidates tackle issues of inclusion and student success
- California cities could vote for rent control policies under Proposition 10
- Ventura City Council candidate’s job places him in unknown territory
Historically, midterm elections have had a low turnout from Generation X, millennial and post-millennial voters. But experts say this year has the potential to be different both nationally and locally in the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last February that killed 17 people and sparked a wave of motivation and engagement among high school and college students.
Young voters, particularly students, in Ventura County have seemingly maintained the momentum from last year and are working to make sure their peers are engaged in the election process. Local high schools have held voter registration drives, California colleges have a friendly competition going to register as many voters as possible and students across the county are engaging in their local elections from school board to state representatives.
‘Buying a ticket to the game’
For Atticus Reyes, the ultimate goal is to get people registered to vote.
“It’s buying a ticket to the game,” said Reyes, a senior at CSU Channel Islands and president of Associated Students Inc. “That’s registering, getting a ticket to the game, or else this thing, it just moves on. This election, this system, it moves whether we want to be a part of it or not.”
The first election Reyes participated in was 2016, something he said served as kind of a catalyst for young people to get more involved.
“That’s kind of the narrative for a lot of students right now,” Reyes said. “I see the youth are really interested in participating in elections. The whole point for us is to counter this point that young people don’t care because we do. We are seeing with numbers that isn’t true.”
In Ventura County, about 2,800 students ages 16 and 17 are preregistered to vote, according to data from the Ventura County Office of Elections as of Monday; the majority of them are listed as having no party preference. There are 4,207 18-year-olds in Ventura County registered to vote in the November election. There are 54,113 registered voters between ages 18 and 25 in the county.
“We are seeing this mobilization in this younger population that counters this narrative of being a population that isn’t interested in the political process,” Reyes said.
Now, Reyes is working with his peers to register more voters at the Camarillo university. They’ve got some skin in the game, too. Higher education institutions across California are participating in the Ballot Bowl, a friendly competition to register more people to vote.
“The purpose of creating this friendly challenge is to incentivize campuses to adopt policies and practices that boost civic engagement, to inspire students to get involved in voter registration campaigns, and to acknowledge those who are leading the way on civic engagement at California’s colleges and universities,” according to the California secretary of state’s website.
But it isn’t just the colleges looking to engage more young people in the election process. High schools across the county and the state also are holding voter registration drives.
Even the Ventura County Office of Elections has worked to get more young people registered. This year, it started a text-to-register program, said spokeswoman Miranda Nobriga, that is geared to the younger generation that finds texting easier and more convenient than other means.
“It’s for everybody, but we thought, ‘How can we use technology to reach more people?’” Nobriga said. “We always have to keep up with technology.”
The elections office also helps high schools and colleges get ready for registration drives by training students.
“Historically, this generation is known to not vote, and the political parties know that,” Nobriga said. “It’s nice to see them coming out and making their voices heard.”
‘Potential to change politics’
There’s been a combination of factors over the course of the past couple of years, and even the past eight months, that have contributed to a growing population of young people registering to vote, said Tim Allison, a political science professor at CSU Channel Islands.
The push statewide to register more young would-be voters, the devastating shooting in Parkland, issues like health care, education funding and climate change and a desire to be heard are all pushing more people to get involved, Allison said.
“I think it takes some time before people have an understanding about the importance of voting and make it a habit,” Allison said. “They say if someone votes in three consecutive elections, it establishes a lifelong habit. Young people are more likely to be occasional voters. They are busy, they have things going on in their lives and they haven’t fully engaged with the electoral process. The trick is for all of society to help with civic education and engagement to help young people understand the issues at stake.”
Allison said that with walkout demonstrations last spring, and rallies and events being organized by young people — often students — it seems this could be a turning point in elections.
“What some of these young organizers lack in experience, they make up in enthusiasm tenfold,” Allison said. “And I think it has the potential to change politics as we know it. I think at this point, there are certainly a lot of people who would love to change politics as we know it. This partisan divide that we find ourselves in, I think young people can help change that, and I’m excited about what I see.”
Four years ago voter turnout for Generation X, millennial and post-millennial groups was about 39 to 40 percent, Allison said.
“If I had to guess, I think we will do better than we did four years ago,” he said. “Even if we hit 45 or 46 percent, that has the power to change a lot.”
Allison said some of what has historically kept young voters from heading to the polls and sending in absentee ballots is a “chicken and egg” situation. If young people don’t vote, then politicians don’t pay as much attention to them. If politicians aren’t paying attention to them, then they don’t see as much value in voting.
Allison said at some point, “we’ve got to break the egg and break out of that historical habit.”
“If we end up inspiring a generation of young people to participate in politics, then you have public policies that reflect that and then you have public officials who pay attention to a broader cross-section of issues,” Allison said. “Until you can demonstrate that this is a generation that has the capacity to make the difference in an election, things won’t change.”
The momentum is still there
Last year, the country watched as students and young people started to take matters into their own hands. They organized, made signs, recruited people to run voter registration booths and walked out of class and dived headfirst into politics and activism.

“The momentum from Parkland is still there; nothing’s changed,” Robakowski said. “Students are still dying, we still aren’t safe, and I think everyone who felt motivated from Parkland is still motivated to make change.”
Robakowski isn’t eligible to vote this November, but that isn’t stopping her from making sure all those who can vote do use their voice.
“I don’t get a vote in this election; I don’t get a voice, which breaks my heart,” Robakowski said. “But that’s why I feel so passionate that other people who have a voice use that voice and use their vote. My big concern is the kids who are eligible to vote, who won’t. This is the voter versus non-voter election, not Democrat versus Republican.”
She’s been working with other teens in the Conejo Valley and neighboring cities on voter registration initiatives and spreading the word about the importance of casting a ballot in November. The students have had some guidance along the way from state Sen. Henry Stern, D-Canoga Park, who has been working on and off with students from Never Again SoCal and in other parts of his district since the shooting in Parkland to address civic engagement.
“I just like exercising those muscles young,” Stern said. “I want them building habits and getting in civic shape, and they are getting strong.”
Stern, whose district includes parts of Ventura County, said he thinks young voters have the potential to really impact the midterms, especially new 18-year-old voters.
“I would wager that the brand-new registrants, the high schoolers, who are voting will be the highest turnout of any voter demographic in that range,” Stern said. “If they are making that effort in high school and they’ve stepped up like they have the potential to really change things, I’m really excited about that power. Civics isn’t about being a fan; it’s about being a player.”
Stern said high schoolers are more connected to their communities than, say, college students, who may become slightly “untethered” from their local elections. Even though Robakowski isn’t old enough to vote in this election, her connection to community and civic duty are propelling her to get others involved and turning out in the midterms.
“I feel really lucky to be a part of this time. I feel really lucky that I get to be a part of the people who change the world,” Robakowski said. “It’s exciting that people are getting really involved in local elections. You see the spike in registered voters. And no one votes in the midterms ever, but people are really learning to care about the power in the majority. Not just the majority in the federal Senate or the state Senate, but even down to the school board. It’s really cool and inspiring, and that’s the kind of world I want to be voting in.”

Netflix has canceled the Chuck Lorre pot comedy “Disjointed” after one two-part season.
The multi-camera comedy starring Kathy Bates as the owner of a marijuana dispensary was first picked up by the streamer with a 20-episode order, the second half of which was released in January.
Co-written and executive produced by Lorre and “The Daily Show” alum David Javerbaum, the series centered on a lifelong advocate for marijuana legalization who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.-area cannabis dispensary, along with her three “budtenders,” her twentysomething son and a deeply troubled security guard.
Lorre has one other series in the works at Netflix. Last August, the streamer picked up the single-camera comedy “The Kominsky Method,” starring Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. He also has three shows on the air at CBS — “Mom,” “The Big Bang Theory” and spin-off “Young Sheldon.”
News of the “Disjointed” cancellation comes the same day Netflix gave a fifth-season pickup to the Jane Fonda-Lily Tomlin comedy “Grace and Frankie,” and announced a two-part premiere date for “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” Season 4.


Three people were seriously injured after a fire broke out at the State Department in Washington, officials report. A spokesman said the flames erupted Saturday when crews were performing routine maintenance work on the building. Workers were able to successfully exit, but three were injured in the process, with one reportedly sustaining life-threatening injuries. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, no government employees were in the building.
