Android Build Failure After Upgrade Xamarin Forms From 4.7 To 4.8

CSSStevieCSSStevie Member

This morning I updated an existing app to use Xamarin.Forms 4.8.1269,, after the update the app would no longer build for Android. The following error appears : "Assembly 'Xamarin.Android.Support.v4' is using '[assembly: Android.IncludeAndroidResourcesFromAttribute]', which is no longer supported. Use a newer version of this NuGet package or notify the library author"

After googling about the issue, I have updated the Android Project to the target the latest api which api 30. I have also updated all nuget packages to the latest version, this also include the latest version of visual studio.

I am not sure how to resolve this issue and if any has seen or fixed this issue any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Prelude O Lord, You Are My God and King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaP7IXRFpo

Opening Sentences
O Lord, open my lips.                                                             Psalm 51:15
  And my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Welcome one another in Jesus’ name,                                    Matthew 10:40
For Christ is truly present among us.

Opening Hymn Fairest Lord Jesus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dynla-DZ08

CALL TO WORSHIP            Psalm 13: How Long?
How long, O God, how long?
How long must I wait to see your face,
  to feel your presence?
How long until I figure things out,
  heal from my wounds, feel whole again?
How long must I live with these longings,
  with no more than hints and guesses to go on?
Look on me and give me answers! Light up my eyes!

I put my trust in your love. I know
  that you hold me in the arms of life
  whether I feel it or not.

If trust and longing are all that I have,
 then that is enough, and I will sing.  –Christine Robinson

Silent Prayer

Prayer of the Day
O God, light of the minds that know you, life of the souls that love you, strength of the thoughts that seek you:
Help us so to know you that we may truly love you, so to love you that we may fully serve you,
 whose service is perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
 in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Scripture Reading:  Genesis 22:1-14
Silent Reflection

Hymn Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCSGuz7gR2U

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 10:40-42
The Word of the Lord.  Thanks be to God.
Silent Reflection

Shared Reflection on the Scripture
Last week, we found Abraham willing to sacrifice his firstborn son, Ishmael, by sending him with his mother, Hagar, into the wilderness.  In today’s reading, he is willing to sacrifice Isaac, the only son he has left; his heir with Sarah, in response to God’s request that he do so.  What do we do with this story?  It is shocking that God would ask this of Abraham.  How could any parent do this?!
And that’s the big question.  Abraham’s whole conversation with God is about relationships and rewards.  God tells him time and time again that if he is to be faithful, relationships and rewards will not be what he expects.  Abraham has to “die” to his notions of what it means for him to be a parent in order to sacrifice his own sons.  If he does not, he cannot be the father of nations, acting in God’s name.
This is a difficult idea, but it lines up with what we heard from Jesus last week and this week.  Today’s gospel reading picks up with the verse immediately after where we left off last week; where Jesus told his disciples that he did not come to maintain the status quo – even of family relationships.
Today, he tells the disciples, as he sends them out to preach the gospel, to welcome others – to honor and receive the gifts of prophecy, justice seeking and gracious hospitality – as if these gifts are being given to Jesus himself.  He is asking them to act in his name, and welcome relationships that they would not normally welcome, just as God asked Abraham.  They need to learn to “die to themselves” and their notions of who merits their time, attention and blessing – and God’s – just like Abraham.  And then, Jesus takes it even further – he tells them to act “in the name of a disciple.”
What does it mean to act in the name of a disciple?
We do this all the time.  We just don’t think of it this way.  Have you ever sent a donation to an organization to honor someone for their birthday or in their memory after they passed away?  If this is an organization or cause dear to the honoree’s heart, you are acting in their name.
Just last week, members of the session acted on your behalf, sending a basket of fruit to Tom & Rhys White upon hearing of Jessica’s death, hoping that this small gesture, like a “cup of cold water,” will bring a measure of comfort in their hour of need.  This week, you have the opportunity to act in the name of Jessica White, Russ Stocker and Pearl Goodwin, disciples who have all passed away this week, who worshipped and served among us for years.  How will you act in the name of these disciples, giving honor for their faithfulness?
The one who welcomes, will be welcomed and will get the welcomer’s reward.
The one who acts for righteousness will see justice.  This kind of logic is reminiscent of the Beatitudes.  Relationships and rewards are being redefined in discipleship, which, like Abraham, is defined by faithfulness, loyalty and obedience to God.
Discipleship is faithfulness; the way to claim our new identity in Christ.  And yet, discipleship brings suffering.  It is the way of discipleship.  Jesus makes clear in this sermon to his disciples that following in God’s way will be hard.  There will be sacrifice.  There will be suffering.  There will be death.
But the reward is also clear: there will be blessing; and resurrection.
Should you want to talk about your call to discipleship, please call me.
– Pastor Margery

(When reflection time is concluded, the Leader invites those gathered to join the responsive prayer below.)

Canticle of Zechariah                                      Luke 1:68-79
Refrain:  You have come to your people and set them free.

Blessed are you, Lord, the God of Israel;
 you have come to your people and set them free.
You have raised up for us a mighty Savior,
 born of the house of your servant, David. R

Through your holy prophets, you promised of old
 to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us,
 to show mercy to our forebears, and to remember your holy covenant. R

This was the oath you swore to our father Abraham:
 to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
 free to worship you without fear,
 holy and righteous before you, all the days of our life. R

And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,
 for you will go before the Lord to prepare the way,
 to give God’s people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. R

In the tender compassion of our God
 the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
 to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
 and to guide our feet into the way of peace. R

Prayers of Thanksgiving & Intercession
If you would like to share them with the congregation, please call or email the church office.
Holy God, One-in-Three and Three-in-One, hear us as we pray for your blessing, saying:
 Holy, triune God, have mercy on us.
Especially we thank you for
 the mission and ministry of the church,
 especially for General Assembly commissioners and advisory delegates…
 every service that proclaims your love…
 the people and relationships that sustain us…
 our calling to daily discipleship…
 signs of new life and hope…
 all who care for creation; and work for justice and peace for all people…
 (specific prayers of thanks may be spoken here.)

Merciful God of might, renew this weary world,
 heal the hurts of all your children,
 and bring about your peace for all in Christ Jesus, the living Lord.
Especially we pray for
 The church of Jesus Christ in every land…
 The stewardship and healing of creation…
 Friends and family members…
 Neighbors in special need…
 All who serve your mission in the world…
Leaders, to lead with righteousness and compassion…
 All who grieve and lament loss of justice, freedom and life…
(specific prayers of intercession may be spoken here.)

After a brief silence, the leader concludes the time of prayer:
All this we ask of you, Lord God, through Jesus Christ our Savior,
 and in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer

Concluding Hymn O God of Every Nation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hoda9xGadJk

Dismissal                                                                  Matthew 9:37, 10:7
The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.
Go, and proclaim the good news, “the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Proclaim it in word and deed.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
Share with one another a Sign of Peace.  May peace be with you this day.

Postlude Blessed be the Lord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMPC1K0GxBg

The Clean Harbors Difference

Clean Harbors not only performs tank cleaning—we also remove the waste generated from the cleaning process and dispose of it safely using our own vehicles and treatment facilities. This additional benefit sets us apart and saves our clients time, money and hassle.

 Clean Harbors Daylighting services provide an experienced, highly trained team and the right hydro vac equipment.
Clean Harbors Daylighting services provide an experienced, highly trained team and the right hydro vac equipment.

Exposing underground pipes, cables or utilities requires precision and the utmost safety.

In many industrial and municipal settings, excavators often have to rely on their “best guess” about the nature and location of pipelines, utilities, service pits and other hidden obstructions—making conventional manual or machine digging a significant risk to underground infrastructure and the surrounding ecosystem.

Going West: The Painted Church

Wales 178

It is difficult for our modern eyes to imagine the colour that would once have been present within our oldest churches. The carved and decorated facades, often covered with statuary, would have been brightly painted. Walls that we are used to seeing in mellow stone and whitewash, touched by the ochre ghosts of medieval paintings, would once have gleamed in the flickering candlelight as the frescos borrowed life from the flames and processed through the shadowed aisles.

Wales 177

It is in the great cathedrals that we can still get a glimpse of the light and colour that provided such a contrast to the homespun world when dyes were expensive luxuries reserved only for the wealthy. At St Davids, a high, painted lantern still crowns the arches of the Crossing, drawing the eye ever upwards to the heavens.

Wales 215

Delicate traceries of contrasting stone mark the vaulted ceilings of the chapels, punctuated by highly coloured shields and bosses displaying designs both armorial and symbolic. In the thirteenth century Lady Chapel at the Easternmost end of the cathedral, I saw a symbol I recognised, the three hares who share their ears. Each hare has two ears…yet only three ears are depicted.

Wales 216

In Christian terms, it symbolises the Trinity, though it has older and other meanings that include and transcend the artificial barriers that we erect between our various cultures and religions. It is a symbol I frequently wear, reminding me of a much-loved friend whose physical presence is far across the ocean yet who is never far from my heart. Other bosses in the little chapel show the Dragon, the symbol of Wales as well as demonic creatures apparently devouring the unholy or perhaps just those who are tempted.

Wales 217

Today our churches are comparatively pallid affairs with colour used sparingly, mainly in stained glass and textiles. There is still a sense of awe, inspired by the scale and beauty with which you are greeted when you walk through their doors. In the older places though, with their vast proportions, lofty, lighted vaults and rich decoration, you can see how they must have appeared to those who visited them.

Wales 211

To the lords and princes, the vast, ornate space would have spoken of power, both temporal and divine. From the ordinary folk, the overwhelming presence of that power must have evoked automatic obedience. To the pious, the beauty and craftsmanship would have seemed a fitting externalisation of faith made manifest in an attempt to echo the glory their inner hearts could see, while to some it must have seemed as if they were afforded a glimpse of a fragment of Heaven itself.

Wales 207

There is much colour remaining at St Davids, from the painted ceilings to the stonework, from the fragmentary frescos to the gilded reredos behind the High Altar and the stained glass that punctuates the clear.

Wales 210

Yet for me, it is the smaller details that may well pass unnoticed that, in bypassing the sense of majesty, truly capture something of the long history of the people who have passed through the portals of this ancient church. It is the traces of polished colour on the memorial brasses, like those on the tomb of Edmund Tudor, that speak of the touch of reverent hands or overzealous cleaning…

Wales 208

It is the intricate rendering of Celtic designs whose symbolic meanings are probably far more potent than we now know but which speak to the inner mind in a language of geometry that seems to bypass logic and reach straight for the wordless understanding of the heart…

Wales 212

Undoubtedly for me, it was the painted birds I was shown that bring the majesty down to human proportions. Such a simple painting, two magpies and an owl, hidden behind the arch of the carved stone screen of the pulpitum. Few would know it was there… few may notice it today, yet the birds seemed to bring something of the natural world into the unnatural magnificence of the cathedral.

Wales 175

They reminded me instantly of another church… this one, just a tiny, single cell building that stands on a site held sacred since prehistory. It is the place where many of our adventures began and its peace and simplicity hold a very special corner of my heart. On the walls there too, an owl and a flock of birds were painted half a millennium ago in the simple ochres of the time. There, St Francis stretches out his hand to them, speaking to his fellow creatures with love… and, within the vast interior of the cathedral, it is the little painted birds that remind me that Love is the central tenet of the Christian religion, so often lost beneath the politics and power-play of man’s ambition.

St Francis and the birds, All Saints, Little Kimble.
St Cecilia, St Francis and the birds, All Saints, Little Kimble.

  1. This was a fascinating post, one can only imagine how these magnificent buildings were once adorned. Little wonder that they still inspire awe today. By comparison, the interiors of many modern buildings are vanilla flavored. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Thanks, Mark. When you see the glorious, almost garish (to modern eyes) colour that suffused our forefathers’ world, our own mellow tastes do seem rather bland by comparison. In a world where the colours came from and echoed nature, the magnificence of these old curches must have been startling and astonishing.

Free Will Astrology

Horoscopes by Rob Brezsny

Week of September 10th, 2020

(March 21-April 19)
"It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t," observes author James S. Gordon. "Rather, it’s that some people are ready to change and others are not." Lucky for you, Aries! Your willpower is even more potent than usual right now, and your willingness to change is growing stronger. And so very soon now, I expect you will reach the threshold that enables you to act crisply and forcefully. You will become so convinced that it's wise to instigate transformation that you will just naturally instigate transformation. Adjust, adapt, improvise, improve!

Would you enjoy getting further insights into the intriguing twists and turns of your amazing journey? Are you ready to seek more help from me in solving the riddles that confuse you? Check out your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(April 20-May 20)
Psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi is an expert on the mental state known as being in the flow. He defines it as what happens when you're completely absorbed in what you are doing: "immersed in a feeling of energized focus," with "full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the activity." According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are extra likely to enjoy such graceful interludes in the coming weeks. But I hope you will be discerning about how you use them. I mean, you could get into a flow playing video games or doing sudoku puzzles. But God and Life and I would prefer it if you'll devote those times to working on a sublime labor of love or a highly worthy quest.

Could you benefit from getting more help in figuring out the questions life is asking you? Do you crave more support in your efforts to build your courage? You might find it inspiring to tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(May 21-June 20)
According to researcher Rosalind Cartwright, "Memory is never a precise duplicate of the original. It is a continuing act of creation." Neurologist Oliver Sacks agrees, telling us, "Memories are not fixed or frozen, but are transformed, disassembled, reassembled, and recategorized with every act of recollection." Reams of additional evidence also suggest that our experience of the past is always being transformed. In accordance with astrological potentials, I invite you to take advantage of this truth. Re-imagine your life story so it has more positive spins. Re-envision the plot threads so that redemption and rebirth are major features. Engage in a playful reworking of your memories so that the epic myth of your destiny serves your future happiness and success.

What interesting lessons and helpful revelations is life preparing for you? What can you do to make yourself as receptive as possible to those lessons and revelations? To explore the ripening trends further, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(June 21-July 22)
All of us are susceptible to fooling ourselves and lying to ourselves. And all of us are susceptible to the cowardice that such self-sabotage generates. But the good news is that you Cancerians will have an expansive capacity to dissolve and rise above self-deception in the coming weeks—and will therefore be able to call on a great deal of courage. As Cancerian author and Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön says, "The essence of bravery is being without self-deception."

Would you like to understand the current chapter of your life story even further? Do you think it might be fun to dig deeper? Are you interested in exploring mysteries that you have not yet been able to put into words? Tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPES.

(July 23-August 22)
If you like, I will give you the waning crescent moon and the dawn breeze. Do you want them? How about sudden bursts of joy for no apparent reasons and a warm greeting from a person you thought had a problem with you? Would you be interested in having those experiences? And what about an unexpected insight into how to improve your financial situation and a message from the future about how to acquire more stability and security? Are those blessings you might enjoy? Everything I just named will be possible in the coming weeks—especially if you formulate a desire to receive them and ask life to provide them.

It's quite likely that you have more strength and intelligence than you realize. And I guarantee that you have not yet called on all the help that's available to you. If you'd like some support and encouragement in your efforts to access those untapped resources, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(August 23-September 22)
Virgo poet Mary Oliver was renowned for giving herself permission. Permission to do what? To become a different person from the self she had been. To shed her familiar beliefs and adopt new ones. To treat every experience as an opportunity to experiment. To be at peace with uncertainty. I think you'll be wise to give yourself all those permissions in the coming weeks—as well as others that would enhance your freedom to be and do whatever you want to be and do. Here's another favorite Mary Oliver permission that I hope you'll offer yourself: "And I say to my heart: rave on."

How are you going to change what needs to be changed and accept what needs to be accepted? What can you do to make sure that you are giving your best energy to your top priorities? If you'd like further support from me, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(September 23-October 22)
"The more unintelligent people are, the less mysterious existence seems to them," wrote philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. I agree with that idea, as well as the converse: The more intelligent people are, the more mysterious existence seems to them. Since I expect you to be at the peak of your soulful intelligence in the coming weeks, I am quite sure that life will be exquisitely mysterious to you. It's true that some of its enigmatic qualities may be murky and frustrating, but I suspect that many of them will be magical and delightful. If you ever wanted your life to resemble a poetic art film, you're going to get your wish.

Sometimes it's a challenge to try to figure out what's important and what's not important. Sometimes you need a bit of extra help as you try to understand how your problems might be opportunities in disguise. If you'd like more of my input, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(October 23-November 21)
Comedian and actor Aubrey Plaza bragged about the deal she made. "I sold my soul to the devil," she said. "I’d like to thank the devil." Plaza is quite popular and successful, so who knows? Maybe the Prince of Darkness did indeed give her a boost. But I really hope you don't regard her as a role model in the coming weeks—not even in jest. What worked for Plaza won't work for you. Diabolical influences that may seem tempting will not, in the long run, serve your interests—and may even sabotage them. Besides, more benevolent forces will be available to you, and at a better price.

Could you use some help in clarifying your goals and nurturing your dreams? Is there anything you could do to enjoy your life even more and be even more confident that you're making the best possible decisions? I may be able to offer you further support with my EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(November 22-December 21)
Many of you Sagittarians specialize in generous breakthroughs and invigorating leaps of truth. Often, you make them look easy and natural—so much so that people may not realize how talented you are in generating them. I hope you adjust for that by giving yourself the proper acknowledgment and credit. If this phenomenon shows up in the coming weeks—and I suspect it might—please take strenuous measures to ensure that you register the fullness of your own accomplishments. To do so will be crucial in enabling those accomplishments to ripen to their highest potential.

Would you like more clues? Are you in quest of even deeper insight? I provide further questions and loving suggestions about your unfolding destiny in my EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(December 22-January 19)
Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel wrote, "When you die and go to heaven, our maker is not going to ask, 'why didn't you discover the cure for such and such? why didn't you become the Messiah?' The only question we will be asked in that precious moment is 'why didn't you become you?'" I hope that serves as a stimulating challenge for you, Capricorn. The fact is that you are in an extended phase when it's easier than usual to summon the audacity and ingenuity necessary to become more fully yourself than you have ever been before.

Would you like to go further in your efforts to understand your beautiful and mysterious life? How far do you dare to go in your quest for self-mastery? For more insight into your intriguing fate, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(January 20- February 18)
Years ago, comedian Lenny Bruce observed, "Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God." His statement is even truer today than it was then. Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank, has gathered the concrete evidence. Church attendance was way down even before the pandemic struck. Now it's even lower. What does this have to do with you? In my astrological opinion, the coming months will be prime time for you to build your intimate and unique relationship with God rather than with institutions that have formulaic notions about who and what God is. A similar principle will be active in other ways, as well. You'll thrive by drawing energy from actual sources and firsthand experiences rather than from systems and ideologies that supposedly represent those sources and experiences.

Would you like to discover more about the hidden factors and unconscious patterns that are influencing you? Do you want to uncover secrets that maybe you've been concealing even from yourself? If you'd like more help and support in your quest to live your best possible life, listen to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

(February 19-March 20)
Psychologist Carl Jung wrote, "The function of dreams is to restore our psychological balance by producing dream material that re-establishes the total psychic equilibrium." According to my reading of the astrological omens, you especially need this kind of action right now. To expedite your healing process, meditate on what aspects of your life might have become too extreme or one-sided. Where could you apply compensatory energy to establish better equipoise? What top-heavy or lopsided or wobbly situations could benefit from bold, imaginative strokes of counterbalance?

Do you wish you could get more clarity about the ambiguous situations you're dealing with? Would you like more help in exploring the Great Mystery that is your life? If you'd enjoy receiving further insights and support from me, I invite you to tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

Watford v Wolves: What a comeback!

Tara Moore: Hold my beer

So, you may have heard about a certain football cup Semi Final that was keenly contested, resulting in Watford coming from two goals down to book a place in one of the most prestigious sporting competitions in the world. But if it is comebacks you are looking for, then you’ll do no better than at a small-ish tennis tournament two days later, as reported in the Guardian.

Here at FPR, we can be cynical at times. Maybe we’re going soft in our old age (of literally four days old) but we thought this story needed to be shared. Saving a Match Point to avoid a 6-0, 6-0 defeat and then going on to WIN the match is a triumph of epic – some might say fairy tale – proportions. Huge well-deserved congratulations to Tara Moore; hopefully this is the start of something big. We look forward to British media over-hyping your chances thus causing you to collapse under the pressure time and time again. Ah, there’s the cynicism.

Also, well done Watford. Please, PLEASE beat City in the final.

Andrea Leadsom: no-deal Brexit next week would not be so grim

News agencies are still giving oxygen to rhetoric that should have been debunked two years ago, the Guardian reveals. Andrea Leadsom appeared on one of the British Biased Corporation’s flagship political TV shows to insist that Brexit had to go ahead. Despite repeated statements that a no-deal Brexit was not her preferred option, and despite spouting several lines of nonsense that would be easy to attack, The Guardian opted for a headline that misrepresented her position. While Leadsom did indeed say that a no-deal Brexit would “not be so grim as people think”, using it as a headline does give a misleading implication of support. I don’t think a zombie apocalypse would be as grim as people might think, but I would still actively try to avoid it happening.

Leadsom, whose most impressive achievement to date is being the last person to make anyone feel sorry for Theresa May, has clearly conducted the same amount of research on Brexit as she did to her opponent for PM when she inadvertently insulted May’s inability to have children. It’s probably unfair to criticise her for not understanding the difference between a customs union and formal agreements that incorporate customs. It’s less unfair to criticise her for referring to the idea of having a vote on something “undemocratic”, but let’s not open that can of worms. Her main argument for a No-Deal Brexit not being as bad as we think is that the Civil Service has made detailed plans to mitigate the situation. Any well-functioning Government has plans to deal with anything from a hurricane to a German invasion, but that doesn’t mean we should declare war, or continue to ignore scientists. When asked about the possibility of running for party leadership again, Leadsom admitted that she had not been prepared last time – albeit accusing her colleagues of being as unready as her. Let’s face it: she probably had a point there. Even the host – whose line of questioning was at least fair and a passable attempt at firm – could not suggest a better reason for running again other than that she possessed a pair of ovaries. Why the Conservative party need a woman to run on this occasion when they are still the only party to have produced any female Prime Ministers is unclear. Perhaps the women in the party simply prefer to wait and maximise their chance of being the first female Prime Minister to actually be popular.

Fans Flood Twitter With Hilarious Memes As Fans Hail Sonu Sood For Helping Migrant Workers

Not all heroes wear capes — this saying now seems true. One of the very popular Bollywood villains has turned out to be an angel in disguise for the hundreds of migrants and Corona warriors. Sonu Sood has been tirelessly helping the people in need during this lockdown.

Amidst the lockdown several migrant workers are seen going to their respective homes on foot as there has been a restriction on public transport movement. However, Sonu has been arranging transportation for the migrant workers to help them reach home.

Recently, in an interview, he opened up about the humanitarian work he has been doing for the ones in need. He said that he feels it is his duty to help migrants, who are the ‘heartbeat’ of the nation. He said:

“I feel it is my duty to help the migrants, the heartbeats of our country. We have seen migrants walking on the highways with their families and kids. We just can’t sit in the AC and tweet and show our concern till we don’t go on the roads, till we don’t become one of them. Otherwise they will not have the trust that there is someone standing there for them. So I have been coordinating for their travels, for permissions from different states,”

Ever since the news of Sonu Sood helping hundreds of migrants reach their homes came out, several migrants are now taking to Twitter to seek help from Sonu. Talking about the same, he said:

“Now I get so many messages and hundreds of emails everyday saying that they want to travel and I have been coordinating non-stop from the morning till the evening. This has become my only job during this lockdown. It gives me so much satisfaction that I can’t express in words.”

He added:

“When I see these migrants and all those who are suffering, I feel that we have lost the respect of being a human. I can’t sleep properly in the night because the thoughts keep coming in my mind. The entire day I am reading emails, noting down their phone numbers, trying to call them. There are hundreds of them. I wish I could drive them personally to their villages day and night and reunite them with their families.”

As per him, we can’t just show concern towards the migrants and those in need by sitting in air-conditioned rooms.

Sonu Sood has won the hearts of one and all with his kind work. People just can’t stop hailing the actor for all that he has been doing for those in need. The creative minds on social media are also flooding social media with hilarious memes on this.

Infact, some of the memes are so funny that even Sonu Sood couldn’t stop himself from replying to them. Here, check out his heart-winning replies to memes:

6 Bollywood Stars Who Are Also Trained Pilots

We all fervently speak about Harrison Ford being a trained pilot and a brilliant actor at the same time, stealing our hearts for ages now. However, what we chose to omit in these hyped-up love for Hollywood is that our very own Bollywood superstars are also trained professionals who can fly planes. Though the numbers are on the lower side as this is a niche skill, but the numbers exist.

In this article we will take a glance at those Bollywood actors who can fly planes.

1. Amitabh Bachchan

Bollywood’s very best, Amitabh Bachchan who has defied age for quite some time now, tops this list.

Sounds crazy? He isn’t just a trained actor but he did take up flight classes. In fact in an interview he stated that in case of an emergency, if the plane needs landing, you have a trained personnel on board. Quite an ending, as all might say.

2. Shahid Kapoor

We are talking about flying planes, and here Shahid Kapoor has mastered the art of flying an F-16 fighter plane. His role in Mausam made him take the flight classes as he doesn’t believe in taking body-doubles.
In fact he is the only actor in Bollywood who has flown an F-16.

3. Gul Panag

Gul Panag doesn’t believe in being stationary. She is a person who believes in filling herself with thrills and her bike-riding skills did rivet attention for all the right reasons.

To add to such excitement, she opted to learn flying a plane, and she is a trained professional in this hunt for the skies.

4. Asin

Though she isn’t a trained flight expert, she did get an opportunity to learn flying which she did until a certain extent in Italy.
In fact she did share the picture on Instagram.

5. Vivek Oberoi

Vivek Oberoi did learn to fly for his role in Krrish 3. He was trained in flying a Cessna aircraft which is a two-seater plane.

6. Sushant Singh Rajput

Sushanth Singh Rajput got this opportunity to learn flying for his upcoming movie Chanda Mama Door K.

Building a brand with vision

Chetwood had been developing a new vision for financial services backed up by state-of-the-art technology. Founded by a former HSBC Commercial Director and a former Partner at Capco, they had great potential, but needed a clear brand identity to set themselves apart from other financial companies.

Brand strategy
Brand values
Brand identity
Employee engagement
Physical collateral
Digital brand guidelines

Granted a full banking licensein 2017

Launched two new products - LiveLend & SmartSave

£150m investment secured

Define and disrupt

Chetwood approached us to help them define and launch a disruptive identity in the financial services market that could entice new customers and motivate their team. This needed to be a parent brand capable of supporting further products in the future.

Our Organise for Scale Programme began with team workshops, using a number of different exercises to understand their background, ethos and goals, as well as their customers and competitors. We explored different positioning territories and discovered that, whilst technology was at their heart of their business, the core benefit was that they made customers’ lives easier. Chetwood planned to offer a range of products, from short-term loans to savings and mortgages, all marketed to different audiences, so we set out to develop a flexible brand architecture and creative approach that could support multiple brands.

FutureKings helped us to define our brand strategy approach for Chetwood Financial. They worked with us to establish and embed our brand principles and have brought energy and challenging ideas to the process, enabling us to create a brand that truly represents our company to our customers.

Mark Jenkinson, CTO & Co-Founder, Chetwood

Flexible for growth

Throughout our process, it became clear that Chetwood wanted to change the face of financial services. ‘Be the change’, is a simple expression of their ambition, and an empowering Organising Idea for the team.

We used this as the basis to develop the brand’s visual identity, ensuring the look also challenged financial services design conventions. Equally, with many of Chetwood’s products targeting different segments, we created a hybrid brand architecture and flexible brand system that could be adapted to other products, whilst remaining ‘recognisably’ Chetwood.

To align the new team behind the brand before launch, we then held training workshops, developed design, tone of voice and style guidelines, and created a short brand film.

We were delighted when Chetwood secured a full banking licence in 2018, especially as they were the only retail bank to do so that year. We hope their new, flexible brand system will help them get their great products out into the market.

Get Your Grip With Soccer Cleats

If we traced back to the late 1500s, it is said that one of the wives of Henry VIII had ordered a pair of leather soccer boots for recreational play. These have evolved into the soccer cleats that we see today. It wasn’t until the 19th century, when actual soccer cleats had come up to manufacturing. These however remain unnatural as we see them today. They were equipped with steel toes under heavy leather work and metal studs forged into the sole.

Laws of the Game-

In contrast to the fascinations of every player, they are not governed by the Laws of the International Game to be compulsorily worn during the play time. The rules are laid down for the players to wear only footwear, which can be of any kind. However, most competitive players decide to wear cleats while playing to have a firm grip on the field.

Constituents of Soccer Cleats –

It is highly desirable if one knows the various parts of the cleat. Understanding each element helps the player to choose the best option that is available according to his position on the field. There are six main components-

  1. Upper –
    This upper part impacts the touch and the ball control. Manufacturing industries of different cleat brands have different designs to offer.
  2. Outsole –
    It is the bottom part. This is usually made of rubber or any kind of synthetic material which proves best for the kind of surface the player is playing on.
  3. Insole –
    It helps the player to reduce the stress from his feet to improve performance as well as comfort.
  4. Midsole –
    This is the layer between the insole and the outsole. Its main purpose is to absorb shock. Midsoles are designed for the best performance along with the rest of the components.
  5. Heel –
    The back of the cleats remain for the heel support.
  6. Stud –
    It is the knob on the bottom of which provides traction on the field.

Care for Cleats-

Soccer cleats are the integral parts while playing a match of soccer, so the player must make sure that they take good care of them. After all, the best maintained ones will end up being the reason for the best performance on the field.

  1. Before or during practices –
    A player can expect them to be muddy while playing that can hinder his performance. Therefore, it is best to include items like a putty knife, towels or a toothbrush to keep them clean.
  2. After practice –
    Use the toothbrush and putty knife to remove as much mud and build up grime from the bottom. Once the mud is out, clap them together to remove any leftover dust or debris.

The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) in an effort to further aid the nation’s economic recovery through the non-oil export sector, has expressed government’s commitment to enhance technical skills of smallholder farmers for improved access to global markets.

According to the NEPC, the federal government remains committed to the development of the non-oil export sector as the last defence of the economy.

To this end, the NEPC donated improved seeds to sesame seed farmers in Kogi and Niger states as well as the Federal Capital Territory, hoping it will aid in sustaining the global market share of the product and gain the confidence of international buyers and consumers.

Indeed, the Council in its efforts at sustaining the impressive gains of sesame seed export, is collaborating with the National Sesame Seed Association of Nigeria (NSSAN) by organizing technical sessions for sesame seed value chain actors.

Themed ‘Expanding frontier of sesame seed value chain for increasing global market access’, the NEPC noted that the sessions are aimed at increasing the yield and grains quality of Sesame seed.

Already, similar sessions have been held in Makurdi (Benue State) and Doma (Nasarawa State).

In his keynote address, the Executive Director/CEO of NEPC. Olusegun Awolowo explained that the trainings are part of the Council’s efforts geared at repositioning non-oil export as the major driver of the nation’s economy, as well as enhancing global market access for Nigeria exportable products.

Awolowo noted that the 2019 Sesame Seed Convention in Istanbul, Turkey revealed the growing global demand for sesame seed, adding that Nigeria’s production is rising steadily and projected to be around 20% of global production.

According to him, Nigeria is currently ranked second leading producer worldwide (420,000 MT), largely due to NEPC and stakeholders’ efforts in the sesame seed sector.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) indicated that sesame seed is the leading non-oil exportable product from Nigeria from 2018-2019, outperforming other crops, including cocoa.

Nigeria’s agricultural export rose to N152.3 billion in the first six months of 2019 (January – June).

Sesame Seed has been one of Nigeria’s agricultural export biggest earners in the past years. This trend continued in the first half of 2019 as N60.6 billion worth of sesame seeds were exported from Nigeria.

Also, sesame oil and its fraction also made the top 10 agricultural export with N928.1 million. The report also indicated that Japan, Turkey, China, Belgium, South Korea and Germany are Nigeria’s biggest markets for sesame seed.

Working through an extreme home renovation can be very stressful. From the detailed planning to the precision in the execution, having a streamlined plan to complete each part of the renovation is key! That’s why Riti of the sunny state of California called Inline Design to take care of her staircase railing from beginning to end!

Partnering with industry experts to get the job done

In October, Riti wanted to kick off the project by getting a contractor out to measure her staircase railing. She worked closely with James C., one of our trusted partners, to take a look at the space, take some measurements and spend some time really getting to know Riti and what she was looking for in a dream staircase railing system.  It didn’t take long for James to find out that Riti was doing more than just updating her staircase railing, but she was also gutting the majority of the home to install beautiful hardwood floors, adding new coats of paint and jazzing up her space with some updated furniture.

James knew right then and there that Inline Design had the exact staircase railing system that would pull the entire home together and be a major topic of conversation during family visits and casual gatherings.

James took his time asking all the right questions to inquire about Riti’s style and aesthetic tastes, along with her general wants and needs and continuously reported back to us to ensure we could meet her needs.

After some deliberation, James recommended Riti purchase our square posts with ½” thick glass for our Chicago Square Floor Mounted System and Stainless Steel Square Glass Clamp mounts.

This was the best choice for Riti as this staircase railing system would absolutely add some great value to her house! We knew that Riti could really enjoy the aesthetics of this design and if she were to ever sell her home, this would definitely drive up the value and asking price for her beautiful property and could potentially offset the cost of the renovation!

Riti’s local building code actually required the railing system to be 36” on the stairs and 42” on the straight runs near the top of the staircase, so James made sure to write up the order to match for these codes. Riti also liked a smooth line of glass with no top rail near the top of the stairs, so James made sure to add that detail into his initial quote write-up. This was all the information we needed to get Riti and James a precise CAD drawing of the proposed staircase railing system.

Keeping an open line of communication to ensure perfection

Over the next month, emails were exchanged between James and our Inline customer support staff to ensure Riti’s measurements and design intent. By early December, a final quote was sent out, along with a copy of our return policy. Riti and James approved the order and within a matter of days, their custom staircase railing system order was sent to our amazing production specialists!

Within the next few weeks, Riti’s order was processed, carefully constructed and triple checked for quality and then shipped out, along with a long list of resources for James to use if he needed any assistance with installing railing posts with glass clamps, from glass clamp installation PDFs to how-to videos.

The finished product

Once received, James managed the installation of the equipment and kept a constant line of communication with us for any last-minute questions or mid-installation concerns. We pride ourselves on always staying in contact with our customers to help with installation in any way that we can.

We are deeply involved with each and every one of our client’s projects, no matter how big or small. We encouraged Riti and James to send us progress photos along with some final photos so we could ensure our products were installed correctly and to their expectations! We believe our staircase railing system added an impeccable finishing touch to Riti’s major home renovation. She was extremely pleased with the finished look and cannot wait to entertain guests in her newly renovated home!

International Day for Biological Diversity 22-5-2015

More species NEW to SCIENCE found in Ol ari Nyiro Conservancy, Laikipia West

The Management and team of Ol ari Nyiro, Laikipia Nature Conservancy in Laikipia West are proud to announce the following:

Despite the tragic stress the Conservancy went through because of unprecedented numbers of destructive illegal grazers, the consequent poaching of six elephants in 2015, and the extensive arsons which raged for days on pristine Rift valley hills, during the byannual biodiversity survey – dry season- 2014 /2015, researchers from The National Museums of Kenya, botanist Kennedy Matheka from the East African Herbarium (EA), Botany Department, and Entomologists Morris N. Mutua1 with Jane M. Macharia, Zoology Department, recorded a staggering total of 72 species new to the Conservancy extensive lists – or 26 species of plants and 46 of insects respectively.

The Botanists reported a total of 26 new species mainly in Mlima Kisu and Kutwa.

Out of these records, three species were found to be unique to the Conservancy.

They include : Raphionacme flanaganii (first record for the region – K3), Zathoxylum chalybeum subspecies molle ( a new subspecies for Kenya) and Vepris sp. ( not described yet – new to science

The Entomologists documented 122 species of invertebrates with forty six (46) species being new to the current LNC checklist.

This included; 15 species of butterflies, 13 species of beetles, 9 species of bees, 6 species of bugs, 2 species of roaches and 1 species of blowfly.

From the report ” The notable encounter of new species with subsequent studies given the circumstances, is a clear indication that Ol ari Nyiro still holds invaluable species which are due for documentation and we advocate for further future studies to explore this ecosystems biodiversity. We also recommend the intervention of concerned authorities towards controlling the illegal livestock grazing, which if unchecked, could completely interfere with the sustainability of this ecosystem.”

Ol ari Nyiro(The Place of Dark Springs) has the Highest and Lowest points -or the highest altitude 1140 metres gradient- in Laikipia County: the highest is the Enghelesha Hill, the lowest the bottom of the Mukutan Gorge.

I with its 142 natural springs, it serves as Water catchment for the Great Rift Valley lakes, Lake Bogoria World Heritage Site, Lake Baringo and Lake 94. and supports a unique variety of ecosystems.

It is regarded by scientists the “most varied Botanically non forested area in East Africa”.

Ol ari Nyiro is part of the Eastern Afromontane Biodiversitry Hotspot. It is situated on the flyways for paleartic and eurasian migrant birds. In 2014 it was declared IBA (Important Bird Area) Ke 64,and in early 2015 it was confirmed as a KBA (Key Biodiversity Area). It is credited as a WDPPA (World Designated Privately Protected area) by UNEP.

Creditation process as a Biosphere Reserve for UNESCO is undergoing.

Ol ari Nyiro was transformed into a Nature Conservancy by Kuki Gallmann, an award winning Kenya Conservationist and bestselling author of Italian origin.

Kuki is a World Ambassador for the CMS (Convention for Migratory Species, UNEP )

She has devoted her entire life to Conservation.

In memory of her husband and son, who died tragically and are both buried in Ol ari Nyiro, she founded the Gallmann Memorial Foundation, Dedicated to the Coexistence of People and Nature in Africa.

She is the Founder of the Laikipia Highlands games (Sports for Peace), that occur every year on the closest week end to World Peace day.

Her memoir, I Dreamed of Africa, a world bestseller, that became a popular feature film starring Kim Basinger, has brought thousands of visitors to Kenya.
