Manchester City fans celebrate winning the Premier League title

Text size

Jubilant Manchester City fans gathered outside the Etihad Stadium to celebrate the team's Premier League title triumph after arch rivals Manchester United were beaten 2-1 by Leicester on Tuesday.

Several hundred City supporters descended on the Etihad to start their title party following the result across Manchester at Old Trafford.

Pep Guardiola's side wrapped up their third Premier League title in four seasons with three games to spare.

Fans are not allowed into Premier League games at present due to the coronavirus restrictions -- a rule which will change next week, in time for around 10,000 City supporters to see the trophy presented at the home game against Everton on May 23.

But in the meantime, the City faithful took to the streets round the Etihad to celebrate, with flares and banners creating a colourful backdrop to the joyous chanting.

City joined the celebrations by unveiling a giant sky blue banner on the outside of the stadium once the final whistle blew in the United game.

It had the slogan: "CHAMPIONS" above a picture of the team celebrating.

Guardiola paid tribute to the City fans for their backing in such a difficult period as the country deals with the Covid-19 fall-out.

"It is so important to say a huge thank you to all our fans. In our toughest moments, we couldn't hear the crowd get behind us as usual, but we know they are with us everywhere we go and that has lifted us," he said.

"I promise them we sense their love, we appreciate it and we could not have done what we have done without it. I hope we can all celebrate together one day not too far away."

Guardiola praised Manchester City fans

City had already won the League Cup in April and can cap a memorable campaign by winning their first Champions League crown later this month.

They face Chelsea in the final on May 29, with the venue set to be switched from Istanbul to either Portugal or England, ensuring at least some City fans will be able to attend.

Introduction The company that I have chosen is Chicken Licken, a fast food franchise who specialises in chicken wings and chicken. This essay will analyse the typical harvest options and how they apply to the Business Venture Life Cycle. Literature Review Harvesting in perspective is a process for achieving some end goal that will repay the entrepreneur for the hard work and inputs. The end goal is important for the decision making that takes place during the life cycle of the venture.

“People learnt to trust the brand.” The early stages of setting up the franchise weren’t easy, skills had to be learnt that were previously not needed. Changing Perceptions As Chicken Licken reputation was built on his loyalty of black clientele it resulted in a stigma being developed towards the brand. Due to this stigma Chicken Licken has a damaged image the local banks because of its positioning in the market. In order to lose the stigma it is necessary to obtain sites in safe and secure affluent shopping malls, but Sombonos describes this as challenging.

Nazi hunter shares secrets of search for Erich Priebke in Patagonia

Rick Eaton, of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, reveals how the infiltration of neo-Nazi groups in Europe led him to discover an infamous ex-SS captain and war criminal in Bariloche.

Rick Eaton cuts an intimidating figure – tall, elegant, imbued with authority, yet at the same time, he’s almost grandfatherly in his storytelling. You would hardly guess that he has spent decades of his life buddying up to white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and extremist figureheads across the globe.

“I’m probably still a member in good standing of a lot of extremist groups,” he says with a chuckle.

Eaton started with the Simon Wiesenthal Center in 1985, and among his early responsibilities, he was tasked with subscribing to hard-copy publications of extremist groups – writing to them, compiling their content, and keeping up with their general activity.

Having formerly worked in the publishing industry, “I got into this work purely by accident,” he explains, detailing how he came to work for the influential Jewish human rights organisation. “But it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.”

Now a senior researcher at the Center, focusing at present on hate speech online and cyberterrorism, Eaton has spent over three decades infiltrating hate and extremist groups worldwide.

But perhaps his most thrilling saga took place 27 years ago, when he found himself in Argentina’s Patagonia region, forming part of the team pursuing the capture of Erich Priebke, a former SS commander.

Priebke was implicated in the 1944 massacre of Fosse Ardeatine, in which 335 people, most of them Italians, were executed in response to a bombing by the Italian Resistance that had killed 33 German personnel. Allegedly, Adolf Hitler ordered the execution of 10 Italians for every dead German.

The victims were bound and loaded into trucks, then driven out to a sparsely populated rural suburb of Rome. In groups of five, they were marched into a cave system, forced to kneel on a growing pile of bodies, and shot through the head. Midway through the executions, it was discovered that there were five extra people present, moving beyond the order of 10 for 1.

It was decided to kill them anyway, to ensure that the location of the murders would remain a secret.

Eaton’s chapter of the story begins nearly half a century after the crime was committed, in 1992. Germany was reeling after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union. Neo-Nazism had returned with a vengeance, and extremism was on the rise.

Eaton was introduced to Nazi-hunting by Israeli investigator Yaron Svoray, who at the time was following the story of several GIs who had reportedly buried diamonds in a foxhole during the war. As he pursued a lead, Svoray was approached by several Germans who offered to help him. When the men took Svoray to a snuff film, giving him his first real look into the rising neo-Nazi movement in Germany, the detective quickly abandoned his line of investigation and decided instead to explore the rise of white nationalism in the country. Svoray turned to the Wiesenthal Center for support.

“You have to understand, Yaron is an Israeli,” says Eaton. “And he is a very obvious Israeli – accent and the whole thing. They didn’t understand that. He actually told them he was Australian!”

With the Germans seemingly oblivious to his actions, Svoray spent the next several months working his way up to higher levels of the neo-Nazi movement, travelling back and forth to Los Angeles to meet with Eaton and others at the Center.

Eventually, “he put together a meeting of some of the highestlevel Nazis in Germany,” Eaton explains.

At the meeting, Svoray, in all his bravado, convinced the neoNazis that he was working for a right-wing magazine in the United States, and that he had a backer who would offer generous financial support. He assumed that, having gathered many names and recordings of leaders within the movement, his investigation had been concluded and that he would never have to follow through on his promise.

“Yaron had a habit of enhancing every story that he told,” says Eaton. “He figured he was done, so he said at the end of the meeting as they were leaving, ‘The next time I see you, I’m gonna bring you satchels full of money because my rich millionaire backer likes what you’re doing. We’re gonna help support your movement.’ He never thought he was going back to Germany.”

There was just one problem. The Wiesenthal Center’s dean and founder, Rabbi Marvin Hier, wanted more.

“‘If these guys are actually planning a coup, or some kind of future fascist government in Germany, who are the average people who are going to support them?’” Eaton remembers Hier asking.

“He wanted Yaron to go back and meet the average people.”

But Svoray was adamant; he couldn’t return without exposing himself as a false agent. That’s where Eaton came in.

“Rather than give them the money, we gave them the next best thing – the millionaire that was going to supply the money,” says Eaton. “And that was me.”

The duo flew to Germany and spent several days driving around the country, meeting these average people who supported the neo-Nazi movement. Their escort was a former US soldier, Roy Godenau, Svoray’s contact in Germany, who was well-connected within the movement.

“In the course of our driving around, we recorded everything [Godenau] said. One of the things he told us was, ‘I work for a guy in Argentina… and he’s a war criminal. He had ‘cleaned up the partisans in Yugoslavia,’” says Eaton. “That obviously, at the Wiesenthal Center, peaked our interest.”

This information eventually led Eaton to Bariloche, the picturesque city tucked away in the foothills of the Andes near the Chilean border. It was there he would meet Reinhard Kopps.

In the aftermath of World War II, Argentina had become a haven for former Nazi soldiers, many of whom received protection from Juan Perón and his government. A series of so-called ‘ratlines’ were established in the 1940s and 1950s to funnel Nazi war criminals from Europe to the relative safety and obscurity of South America.

Many set up new lives in Bariloche. With its alpine lakes and European architecture, the city bears an uncanny resemblance to Germany, and it became home to German settlers as early as the 1840s. By the end of the 19th century, the city boasted a thriving German community.

“When I got to Bariloche, I said, ‘This is like little Bavaria,’” said Eaton. “It would be very comfortable for Germans. A good place to keep a very low profile, certainly.”

According to Godneau, Kopps had worked on one of the ratlines – a monastery route – that channelled Nazis through the Vatican and out to Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay. Kopps, an ex-SS officer who was then living under the pseudonym Juan Maler, was not too difficult to pin down.

“One day, Sam Donaldson from ABC News shows up on the streets of Bariloche and starts talking to Kopps,” Eaton recalls. “He said to him, ‘Are you Reinhard Kopps?’ And Kopps responded, ‘No, my name in Juan Maler. But I used to be Reinhard Kopps.’”

Kopps denied working on the ratlines, but Donaldson played Eaton’s recording to him on camera, implicating him. He began to look for another way out.

“Kopps got a little bit nervous,” says Eaton. “He pulls Donaldson aside, away from the camera, and he forgot he had a lapel mike on. He says, ‘Why are you talking to me? You want the big fish in town. You want to talk to Priebke.’”

Kopps would flee soon after the interview, but Eaton and his team had what they needed. Donaldson went on to speak with Priebke, and – 50 years on from the atrocities – Priebke confessed to his role in the massacre. The explosive footage was aired on 20/20, the ABC news programme. The very next day, both Italy and Germany asked for Priebke’s extradition, kicking off a long legal battle.

After 17 months of back-andforth, during which Priebke remained in Bariloche, he was sent to Italy to appear in court. Priebke pleaded not guilty, and refused to take moral responsibility for his actions. He was eventually acquitted on the basis that he was merely following orders, but persistent public outcry landed Priebke back in court. After another long fight in the courts, he was sentenced in 1998 to life imprisonment, to be served under house arrest.

Although the prime era of Nazihunting has long passed, Eaton continues to combat hate speech and hate crimes in his work today, specialising in the online world. He has continued to observe the evolution of extremist movements – from old-school bulletin board postings to complex ties enabled by social networking platforms.

“The extremists were ready and waiting for when the Internet came along, because they had already been on digital communications. They took advantage of the fact that they knew digital as well as anybody at that time. When the web came along, they started in right away,” he says.

Today, Eaton spends much of his time travelling around to schools teaching media literacy. He shows the children – often 12 or 13 years old, and deeply entrenched in Internet culture – examples of online hate speech. The key, he says, is for them to feel comfortable both identifying and reporting such issues.

“Hate speech affects not only you, as the one that was targeted, but a larger group – whatever you were targeted for, there’s a larger group out there that has the same qualifications,” he tells the Times.

Returning to Erich Priebke, he explains how the old and the new even met in a strange ending drenched in hate.

“He recorded a video for YouTube on the anniversary of his 100th birthday, and in it he was unrepentant. He said, ‘If you travel to Germany, please give them my regards,’” says Eaton.

Soon after, in 2013, Priebke died of natural causes at his home in Rome.

“He lived to the ripe old age of 100,” Eaton says, shaking his head. “His victims certainly didn’t get to see their grandchildren grow up.”

The room falls silent.

“That’s as much retribution as anyone can get,” Eaton says, puncturing the pause. “It just proves the point that no matter how old they were, to bring them to some sort of justice – even if it’s only house arrest – is better than none at all.”

And so, online and off, facing increasingly steep challenges, Eaton continues to fight for justice, one case at a time.

Understanding the H-2B Application Process

Understanding the H-2B Application Process

| May 29, 2020 | Business-Based Immigration

For workers in seasonal industries, such as roofing, landscaping and concrete workers, getting an H-2B visa to perform that work in the United States can be a dream come true. In fact, the U.S. government even calls part of the process—the part that selects the limited number of businesses who receive this labor force—the lottery. They conduct this lottery twice a year.

What does the application process look like?

There is a three-step application process; however, it is worth noting that, like any immigration process, it can be incredibly time-consuming. You should begin your application well before the lottery takes place, as it can take some time to process an application and get the necessary paperwork and approvals.

3 steps to getting an H-2B visa

  • Submit a temporary labor certification application to the Department of Labor (DOL). You need to receive this certification before you can even request an H-2B visa. Once the DOL grants your certification, you can proceed to the next step.
  • Submit form I-129 to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is the petition for a non-immigrant worker. With limited exceptions, you must file your temporary labor certification along with this form.
  • Apply for an H-2B visa. After USCIS approves your petition (form I-129), you can apply for an H-2B visa with the Department of State at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country. Once they approve your visa, you can seek entry with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Important notices

It is against the law for a recruiter or employer to charge any kind of fee for placement in the United States. If this occurs, you should notify the USCIS immediately.

If you secure employment through an H-2B visa, you are required to show up for work. If you don’t, the USCIS will revoke your right to be in the United States. Employers must notify the USCIS within two business days in the event of a no show, leave without notice, termination or early completion of duties.

Bardsley Group: Hundreds lose jobs as Greater Manchester firm goes under

image captionThe Bardsley Group's headquarters in Dukinfield, Tameside

Two hundred people have lost their jobs after a Greater Manchester construction company in went into administration.

Staff at the Bardsley Group's headquarters in Tameside were told about the decision on Friday morning.

The group, which has been operating for 55 years, had a recent annual turnover of around £80 million and offices in Manchester and Leeds.

Administrators Duff & Phelps said they hoped to find a buyer for the business.

The administrators said the company had been involved in the construction of hotels, schools and thousands of homes.

A statement said the firm had "experienced challenging market conditions" including contractual disputes and "new opportunities being delayed".

The downturn was linked to "the uncertainty in the economic and political environment," the statement added.

The group had hoped to attract new investment or organise a merger to tide it over until next year when new orders are expected.

However, despite a number of expressions of interest, no acceptable formal offers had been made," the statement continued.

The administrators now hope to sell the business as a going concern.

What They Won't Teach You in Health Administration Schools

What They Won't Teach You in Health Administration Schools

I think "health administration" is an anachronism, since we have a sick care system masquerading as a health care system and the last thing we need is more administrators, rather than leaderpreneurs.

Consequently, those offering programs to students interested in being health systems administrators, offer courses and measure competencies designed to fight a phony war.

Instead, they should be requiring graduates to demonstrate the following knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies:

  1. How to hire physician intrapreneurs and what to do with them once you have.

  2. Understand AI and machine learning and what to do with the results of algorithms.

  3. How to overcome the barriers to US and international biomedical innovation and entrepreneurship.

  4. How to lead innovators.

  5. Success factors for successful organizational innovation.

  6. How to address the social determinants of adverse health outcomes.

  7. How to recruit, train, promote and retain a diverse talent pipeline.

  8. How to win the the 4th industrial revolution.

  9. How to improve the health professional, health care team, patient family and friends care team experience.

  10. How to change doctor and patient behavior and transform sick care to health care.

Whether you get an MD/MBA/MHA/JD/MPH or some other concoction of credentials, it is likely that you will have blind spots and that they won't be filled in your formal training. Try not to let school get in the way of your education.

Effective Omni-Channel Marketing Strategy: The Ultimate Guide

22 Jan 2020

With 73% of customers using multiple channels during their buyer’s journey, can your business afford to not have an omni-channel marketing strategy? Discover what an omni-channel strategy is and how it can help you raise awareness, increase leads and drive customer retention.

Omni-channel marketing is an approach that provides customers with a completely seamless and integrated experience when dealing with your business. From the first touchpoint to the last, taking an omni-channel approach across all your channels helps create a unified experience for your customers.

“89% of customers are retained by companies with omni-channel engagement strategies according to Veeqo.”

For example, a customer spots one of your adverts on a related website, once they’ve clicked through they may have a question about your products, so they then head to your Facebook page with a customer service question.

Later they may then email you for further information or even sign up to your email newsletter. Finally, once they have become a customer, they may leave a review or mention you in a tweet about the product.

Whether you are trying to attract, convert or retain, omni-channel marketing allows you to develop and maintain meaningful relations with your customers. So how can you implement an effective omni-channel marketing strategy for your business?

Let’s take a look at some of the steps you can take to implement an omni-channel marketing strategy that will help you streamline your marketing and sales funnel, retain customers and drive your ROI.

Create omni-channel marketing buyer personas

Create customer identities based on the information you have about them. Their buying habits, behaviours, and preferred ways to communicate, help you gain learn what delights and displeases your audience.

When creating buying personas for omni-channel marketing its important to focus on a few factors. Looking at the frequency of purchase, how purchases are made and where website traffic is coming from. When you have a clearer understanding of the buyer, you can optimise the customer experience for every stage and persona.

Audience segmentation

For maximum impact, it’s good practice to segment your audience. Many CRM and Marketing Automation platforms such as SharpSpring will automatically segment your contacts based on the personas created. This uses demographic as well as other behavioural markers you have selected.

Once you have segmented your audience you can tailor and personalise your content and marketing messages to each audience. According to SharpSpring, 74% of consumers get frustrated when they receive content that has nothing to do with their interests.

Prioritise omni-channel marketing devices and channels

When planning your next omni-channel marketing campaign, use insights to determine the channels and devices your customers prefer to use. For example, if Google Analytics tells you that the majority of your referrals are coming from Facebook and that visitors to your site are using android mobile devices then you can prioritise these channels and devices in your strategy.

When analysing your data, it’s important to consider why visitors are using these channels and devices. Is it simply down to the demographic or could it be the user experience on certain devices?

Once you are sure of the channels and devices to prioritise put your effort into these. But as things change, it’s always good to review these on a regularly to make sure they are still top.

Warm Up Winter With Lampwork Beads

The “lamp” in lampwork came from the oil lamps and blowpipes used in seventeenth century France and Italy.

Blowing by mouth or bellows into an oil lamp flame with a small pipe makes just enough heat to soften and form this type of glass. It’s amazing the great work the early lampworkers were able to do with so little equipment.

Hot glass-working skills originated from the Syrians around 1700 BC, the Egyptians 1450 BC, the Chinese around 550 BC, the Romans at the turn of the first millennium. Today lampworkers usually use an oxygen torch, but the technique to form and decorate the glass hasn’t changed much for thousands of years.

Choosing Lampwork Beads
As usual with handcrafted items, the quality is equal to the expertise of its maker. Choose beaded jewelry in a style you like, but remember that style isn’t the only thing you must consider when buying handcrafted glass beads.

Air bubbles should not be visible in the bead – although some beadmakers use of these as design elements. The bead hole should be free of nicks or burrs. Jagged edges around the hole produce a wobbly bead that can eventually cut through beading wire. Check that the shapes of beads. They’re handcrafted, so expect some variations, that’s part of their charm, but the overall look should be attractive.

How are Lampwork Beads actually Make?
Lampworkers use a torch to melt the tips of glass rods, and then wind the molten glass around a mandrel, a narrow stainless steel rod. Later, when the bead is removed, the space occupied by the mandrel becomes the hole used to string the bead. Glass cools from the outside in and the outer layers shrink as they cool.

Bringing a bead out of the flame and leaving it in the air allows the outside of the bead to cool rapidly around its molten interior.

However, a stress point develops between the cool shrinking glass and the hot center, which can cause a bead to crack. To prevent cracks, the beads are soaked in a kiln to ensure all glass within them is the same temperature. After soaking the artist reduces the kiln’s heat over several hours to bring the beads to room temperature.

Venetian Murano Beads

Authentic Murano glass beads are the best lampwork in the world, hand crafted from Effetre glass cane on Murano Island, Venice.

The Venetions copied the process from Syria in the 15th and 16th Centuries, and continue to blow these glass beads today.

Murano NecklacesThis time-consuming process produces beautiful beads, far superior to any other lampwork.

Murano NecklacesHowever, they are very expensive. So unless you have really up-market clients for jewellery, then genuine Murano beads are not for you.

Murano BeadsPictures of genuine Murano beads, taken in September, in shop window of Murano Island, Venice.

Note price per bead – MrBead’s China-made lampwork looks very similar, but cost about 1/10, think how easier to sell your glass bead jewellery!

Autumn Jewellery

Autumn BraceletAutumn Jewellery SetWhen the nights darken, make some classy seasonal jewellery. Amber is ideal for this time of year, along with all types of brown, dark greens, gold, and misty yellow.

Autumn PearlsPearls, nature’s treasure from the deep, can be very effective mixed with other beads – especially as they come in autumn colours too. Let fabulous colours with a touch of gold capture your imagination as well as your eye.

Try mixing contrasting colours like brown and gold with blues and green. Some of the most popular gemstones that make fabulous autumn jewellery are listed below.

Gems For the Fall

To see any of these gemstones in our UK store, just click the picture.

Agate is the obvious stone for autumn jewellery. It forms by filling a cavity in its host rock, resulting in round nodules, with bands like the rings of a tree trunk, looking like eyes. Agate was highly valued as a talisman in ancient times and has been used as a traveler’s amulet for centuries.

It’s believed to bring fortune, health, wealth and long life. Some call its strange patterns ‘cosmic caterpillar tracks’. Others’ swear that wearing these beads can heighten the spiritual consciousness and balance the body’s physical and mental states.

Another stone from the quartz family, usually bright orange to reddish orange. Carnelian is for confidence.  Carnelian is in tune with the energies of the Earth, making you feel anchored and comfortable with your environment.

A good stone for people starting new projects or who feel they are going nowhere. It motivates, allowing you to find the energy to make the most out of life. Said to help blood disorders and eliminate toxins from the body.

”Citrine” comes from the French word for lemon, and is any quartz crystal or cluster that’s yellow to orange. The darker, orange colours were traditionally the best, but today people prefer bright lemony shades to mix with pastel colours.

Sunny citrine brightens all jewellery, blending especially well with the yellow gleam of polished gold. The yellow colour is a natural reviver, and citrine focuses the mind bringing a feeling of self-esteem.

Coral BeadsCoral was thought to be a strong talisman against evil spirits and hurricanes. It is also said to reduce blood flow. Naturally its colour ranges from white to red, but most red coral these days is dyed. It grows in branches that look like underwater trees.

Flake Stone
The most common flaked stone is goldstone: ideal for autumn jewellery. Man-made, first created by alchemists trying to create gold – however, all material has properties, these are transmitter stones. Causing light to pass through you in order to convey or receive a medium. Revitalizing, energizing, and encouraging a positive attitude and individualism.

For 5,000 years Imperial China used the word “jade” as something precious. Because jade is said to have all the attributes most valued in society. A symbol of purity and serenity, it is delicate, but will not break – is beautiful, but not impermanent, it can be flawed with lines, but still pleasing.

It is believed to radiate divine unconditional love and balance the emotions. The most famous type of jade carved in China is from Burma, with shades of green, lavender, yellow, white and grey.

Jasper BeadsJasper was highly valued in ancient times, not only for its beauty, but also for its magical and medicinal properties. Jasper is known as the “patron stone of counselors and healers”.

Red jasper is an intensely protective stone, stabilizing the aura and bringing contentment. Poppy jasper is dark red with black flecks. Picture jasper is pale brown with darker patterns – named from pictures formed by patterns caused by trapped fossilizes algae. Fancy jasper is creamy brown with lavender or green swirls.

Lapis Lazuli
Lapis BeadsThis gemstone is straight out of fairy tales of the Arabian Nights: deepest blue with golden shining Pyrite inclusions which twinkle like little stars. Through the ages, lapis has been associated with power, wisdom, and love.

The twinkling inclusions are not gold but pyrite, caused by iron. The blue colour comes from the sulfuric content of lazurite. For many people lapis is a stone of truth and friendship. A powerful gemstone that should not be worn by those who lack strength of character.

Malachite & Rhodonite
Large Exotic Fire-Red Rhodonite Rondelle BeadsMalachite is green with irregular black banding. Its stripes have the ability to soothe and bring rest – helping sleep, meditation, circulation and balancing emotions. Copper content helps rheumatism. The magic of malachite is also thought to attract love and wealth. Some say malachite travels the world in search of energies to change.

Rhodonite is usually pink to red or orange, very popular in 18th-century Russia where it was used extensively to decorate the Russian court. Rhodonite has similar properties to malachite.

The least expensive cultured pearls today rival the most expensive natural pearls ever found.

Natural freshwater pearls occur in mussels for the same reason saltwater pearls occur in oysters. Foreign material inside a mussel can’t be expelled. To reduce irritation, the mollusk coats the intruder with the same secretion it uses for shell-building, nacre. To cultivate a pearl, farmers’ slit the mussel and insert small pieces of live tissue from another mussel.

Freshwater pearls are popular for their colours: white, silvery-white, pink, red, copper, brown, lavender, purple, green, blue, and yellow. These are usually dyed these days.

Tiger Eye
Tiger's EyeTiger’s-eye is polished to show its characteristic band of pearly luminescence, resulting from light reflecting off its thin parallel inclusions in the quartz. Colours range from a rich golden yellow to dark brown. Tiger’s-Eye is good for those worried about health. It also builds will-power and inner-strength.

BEcause creates giant artwork for Save The Children activation

Save The Children has recruited BEcause to highlight its involvement with six Color Run events throughout the summer.

Save The Children is the 2014 charity partner of The Color Run, a family friendly five kilometre fun-run promoting health and happiness, where participants are doused with different coloured powders every kilometre.

Tasked to encourage brand awareness and inspire regular donations, the team at BEcause has created an eye-catching interactive experience that echoes the brand values of both the charity and the host event.

The centrepiece of the activation is a giant paint-by-numbers concept based around an image of a child’s face.  Runners at the post-race ‘Finish Festival’ will be invited to work together to 'make their mark' on the canvas and show their support for Save The Children, helping create a vibrant giant artwork as the colours are filled in.BEcause_STC__2

Whilst runners are working on the canvas, Brand Ambassadors will explain the work of Save The Children, offering members of the public the opportunity to become regular donors, while also inviting them to contribute on the spot. People will be able to make an instant pledge of £3 by texting the word “Colour” and the number 70090.

Sharon Richey, CEO at BEcause said “Save The Children saves and transforms the lives of young people across the world. The Color Run events are a unique celebration of health and happiness. We’re thrilled to be creating fun and raising awareness of both these fantastic causes”.

The first Color Run events were held in London on June 1st and Manchester on 5th July. The remaining events will be staged at Sunderland on July 20th, Birmingham on 16th August, Belfast on 23rd August and Brighton on 20th September.

Rare 1902-S Morgan

Rare 1902-S Morgan
By 1902 the production of Morgan silver dollars was in decline. Our country was awash in silver dollars that no one seemed to want at the time. Vaults all over the country were filled with Morgan dollars just waiting for some type of commercial use.

In fact mintages for Morgan silver dollars were actually in decline. This could be seen in the case of the 1902-S which only had a mintage of 1,530,000 pieces. This was actually a good total for most Morgans, but not for those being struck by the San Francisco Mint. This Mint had been one of the main centers of Morgan dollar production.

The main assumption for this particular coin is that not many of them reached circulation. However this may not be entirely true. Apparently some did get into circulation in the early 1900s but no one can be certain of how many did get into circulation.

The unusual pattern for this silver dollar was the fact that some examples were released over a span of decades. This was unusual as the bags of a given date tended to end up in the same place in the vault and as a result many dates did not appear for significant periods of time and would then out would come a significant number.

This doesn’t seem to have happened with the 1902-S Morgan.
With something of a regular flow to the release of the 1902-S dealers and collectors of the period thought the 1902-S was generally available and they didn’t place much emphasis on collecting them, and as such few were actually saved.

There was very little collector interest in Morgans until the 1950s and the dates that were saved would have been the dates that were seen as being better. If few people believed that a 1902-S was worth saving then the saving would have been minimal.

The normal pattern for Morgans struck at the San Francisco Mint was for them to be well struck. Again the 1902-S doesn’t follow this pattern. Many were lightly struck with parallel die striations right on Liberty’s face. A low mintage coupled with regular releases meant that by 1962 there were very few examples to be found in the Treasury releases of Morgans.

The 1902-S was also scarce in the significant hoards that turned up periodically. The Redfield Hoard was believed to have had perhaps a bag of dollars that were generally described as being in lower Mint State grades. As such the 1902-S doesn’t follow any of the normal San Francisco dollar patterns.

Yahoo Groups is closing down - here’s what it means for users

Wednesday, 14th October 2020, 1:29 pm
Updated Wednesday, 14th October 2020, 2:13 pm

Web service provider Yahoo is to close its ill-fated social media platform, Yahoo Groups, in the coming weeks, as it has seen “a steady decline in usage” over the last several years.

Its closure means that users will no longer be able send or receive messages from their group members.

"Thank you for helping us build one of the earliest digital communities - we’re proud and honoured to have forged countless connections over the last 20 years and played a small part in helping build your communities,” a statement from Yahoo said.

Here is what the closure means for Yahoo Groups users.

What is Yahoo Groups?

Yahoo Groups is Yahoo’s free-to-use system of electronic mailing lists and forums, first launched in January 2001

It was once home to one of the world's largest collections of online discussion boards, and allowed members to subscribe to groups, read discussions, view and share photos, files and bookmarks within a group, and receive emails.

At the height of its popularity in 2008, Yahoo Group staff reported there were 113 million users, and nine million Groups using 22 languages.

The service first began its partial shutdown in February of this year, when Yahoo removed online access to discussions and all other features, except simple membership management, essentially turning all groups into mailing lists.

The service stirred up controversy in 2013, when a Reuters article claimed Yahoo Groups was being used illegally and without regulation by parents to advertise unwanted children for "private re-homing.”

In response, Yahoo immediately closed down the forums that Reuters brought to their attention.

When is Yahoo Groups closing?

The creation of new groups has already been disabled by Yahoo, with the company putting a stop to the feature on 12 October.

The ‘full’ shutdown of Yahoo Groups will take place on 15 December 2020.

What does the shutdown mean for users?

After 15 December, users will no longer be able to send and receive emails from Yahoo Groups. The website will also no longer be accessible.

The emails you have sent and received will remain in your email inbox, though, as of 15 December, messages will not be sent or received from your group members.

If you try to email your group after that date, your message will not be delivered and you will receive a failure notification.

Yahoo has recommended a number of “reliable sites” for its “loyal customers” to use to “continue having group communications.”

Will my Yahoo Mail account be affected?

Yahoo is assuring users that the only thing being decommissioned is Yahoo Groups and emails sent from Yahoo Groups.

"Yahoo Mail will continue to function normally,” it says.

Why is Yahoo Groups closing?

Yahoo said it had made the decision to shut down Groups following “a steady decline in usage over the last several years.”

"While these decisions are never easy, we must sometimes make difficult decisions regarding products that no longer fit our long-term strategy as we hone our focus on other areas of the business,” the company added.

Solar Generators is not just for RV’s anymore! With the addition of portable solar panel heaters, electric lanterns and even solar water heaters you can enjoy in your RV or campground all year round with energy independence. You no longer have to pay the high cost of electricity, gas or natural gas. Solar Generators is portable with a solar panel and they are easy to use. If you have a generator, it is portable and you can use it in any weather condition.

solar generators portable with solar panel camping

There are many types of portable generators. A portable generator will take a little bit of time to warm up but once it is fully operational, it will warm your RV quickly. Most solar panels used in a portable generator have an electrical storage tank. Most solar panels attached to the generator are made from silicon-based silicon cells that absorb sunlight, heat up and then transform the heat into electric energy.

A solar panel system consists of a number of individual solar cells connected together. When sunlight hits the cells it produces an electric current. Then the individual cells are wired together. Once connected the whole solar panel is then placed over a light source in the RV.

Portable solar generator use solar panels to produce electricity using photovoltaics. Photovoltaics, also called PV, is one of the easiest ways to make electricity. It can be used anywhere there is sun, such as on the beach, in cloudy weather and in other locations that get less sunshine than other days. To use a solar generator, you need to place the solar panel array over a light source in the RV. The panel then glows from the sun using photovoltaic cells. In order to get the most energy from the solar panels a number of them should be pointed at the same time.

The electricity produced by the portable generator is usually enough to run all the electrical appliances in the RV. An RV with a solar panel system will save you money on gasoline. The only thing the system cannot do is to actually create electricity. The solar panels have a limited life span and need to be replaced every two to three years. If you want to use the power generated by the system for power and AC appliances in your RV then you will need an inverter. Most systems come with an inverter.

These inverters convert the DC current from the solar panels into AC current, so it can be used in your RV. However, you should be careful not to overload the generator. Overloading will cause damage to the solar cells and will lead to the cells becoming damaged and eventually dying.

Do not use a portable generator, while in extreme weather conditions. There are some cases when using a generator may be dangerous. Overheating during storms can cause damage to the RV. The generator might melt the windshield if left in the sun for too long. In addition, overloading or discharging the generator can cause damage to the battery. Never leave a generator unsupervised in a storm drain or other body of water.

Portable solar panels can provide you with a viable energy alternative to the normal grid system. The only thing you need to do is follow the maintenance instructions provided with the solar panels to protect the cells. A portable generator with solar panel camping can be a very useful way to travel and have energy in the wilderness.

Wales were denied a hard-fought win in Dublin against Ireland last Sunday with Jonathan Sexton slotting over the match levelling penalty for the hosts. The set-piece was in good shape, with the lineout efficient and the scrum dominant, while the defence was immense for much of the time. But once again there was a lack of cutting edge in attack.

Coach Warren Gatland has made just one change to his side with Gareth Anscombe getting a place on the bench instead of Alex Cuthbert. Dan Biggar has been passed fit despite his injury in the opening minute of the draw in Dublin.

Scotland were beaten 15-9 by England at Murrayfield in their opening match conceding a try in each half. The Scots lost all five of their matches in this tournament in 2015. They are showing some encouraging signs of late but they look unlikely to end that unwanted record any time soon.

Coach vern Cotter will be without centre Matt Scott and he is replaced by Duncan Taylor from Aviva Premiership side Saracens. Veteran winger Sean Lamont has been called up as replacement.

The Welsh are on a big winning streak against the Scotland, having triumphed against them in the last eight meetings. The last time that the two met in Wales was in the 2014 RBS Six Nations and the Welsh ran riot in a massive 51-3 victory, the biggest winning margin ever between these two sides.

‘Shock’ as Isabel Blackman Centre in St Leonards could be closed

The Royal Voluntary Service is considering closing the Isabel Blackman Centre in St Leonards due to the cost of repairs to the building.

The centre in South Street, St Leonards, is used as a meeting place for the charity as well as other community groups and consists of a main hall, a meeting room and a large kitchen.

It was closed last Thursday (May 2) following the results of a recent building survey.

Rebecca Kennelly, director of volunteering for Royal Voluntary Service, said: “We are in the process of reviewing the activities at the Isabel Blackman Centre and exploring the option of closure taking into account the results of the Building Conditions Survey and the costs of the necessary repairs.

“Like many charities, we are currently operating in a very challenging environment with fewer resources and increasing demand and as a result, we can’t fund the repairs and ongoing costs of the centre ourselves.

“The wellbeing of older people in St Leonards and Hastings is important to us and we recognise the activities and services that take place at the Centre are wanted and needed by the community.

“This means we are committed to exploring alternative models of service provision in the local community.”

The news of the potential closure was announced to volunteers and customers who hire the hall at a meeting at the St Nicholas Centre in London Road on Wednesday.

Jon Dunham, service manager of the centre, said: “I am as shocked as every volunteer, daily member and community group that use the centre.

“I will do everything in my power to make sure the community is kept up to date.”

He added that another meeting was planned at the St Nicholas Centre on Wednesday, May 22, from 1pm to 3pm.

The news follows the closure of the Isabel Blackman Centre in Hastings’ Winding Street, which shut at the end of March following a decision by East Sussex County Council.

Sussex Police crack down on catalytic converter thefts

A week of police action has been carried out to deal with the theft of catalytic converters in Sussex.

Monday, 10th May 2021, 10:12 am
Sussex Police

Catalytic converters are stolen for the precious metals they contain. These metals have surged in value recently, leading to more offences committed by organised crime networks, police say.

Sussex Police said officers took part in a national week of action from April 19–25, with a focus on awareness, education, enforcement and intelligence gathering.

Police said neighbourhood policing teams carried out 21 visits to scrap metal dealers to identify and develop information on who is buying and selling the parts, and to check everyone was operating with the appropriate licences. They also visited seven catalytic converter buyers, paid four visits to vehicle dismantlers and stopped 15 mobile collectors.

Catalytic converter thefts are on the rise

According to police, a number of scrap metal dealers also signed up to a database used by police and partners to gather and share intelligence around catalytic converter thefts.

Police say two stolen catalytic converters were recovered during the week, as well as a van full of scrap metal.

According to police, three people were also arrested - one man on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle and fraud by false representation; and one man on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle. Both men, who were arrested after a suspicious vehicle was seen near Crawley, have been released on conditional bail while enquiries continue.

Police say the third man, from Brighton, was arrested on suspicion of attempted theft from a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, driving without insurance, failing to stop, and possession of a Class A drug. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

A fourth man, also from Brighton, attended a voluntary police interview in relation to five counts of theft from a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, driving with no insurance and failing to stop. Police say he has also been released under investigation.

According to police, the week also saw 250 car owners take part in free catalytic converter property marking, carried out in partnership by garages and police across the county. This is where catalytic converters can be forensically marked using special liquids with a unique code detectable under a UV light. This can make it harder for thieves to dispose of stolen catalytic converters, and can lead to the detection of crime and reunite people with their property.

Detective chief inspector Jo Grantham said, “Thefts of catalytic converters can not only have a serious financial impact on victims, but also an emotional impact as it can affect their day-to-day activity and livelihoods.

“This is an issue we take extremely seriously and this week of action is just a snapshot of the work we do to try and tackle the problem.

“We continue to gather information around thefts, and encourage people to report any offences or suspicious behaviour to us to help us build that intelligence.

“We also ask people to take a look at the advice and consider steps they can take to protect their vehicles.”

Police are encouraging car owners to:

• Protect your car by asking your dealer if they can give you any advice on locks or guards that are approved by the vehicle manufacturer and tested to Sold Secure Gold.

• Mark your catalytic converter with a forensic marker and register your converter to make it harder for thieves to dispose of.

• Park your car somewhere well-lit and overlooked, among as many cars as possible. Try to park so the converter can’t be easily reached - close to a wall or fence. Try not to park at the end of the row if there are free spaces.

To report a crime or any suspicious activity, please contact us online or by calling 101. Alternatively, information can be passed to police anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers online or by calling 0800 555 111.
