Massey’s Mining Money

The West Virginia coal mining disaster that took more than two dozen lives this week brought Massey Energy Corp., the nation’s fourth largest coal company, into the spotlight. The company and its CEO, Don Blankenship, have never been shy about involvement in the political process. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Massey’s political action committee plus individuals associated with the commpany have given more than $307,000 in all to federal candidates since the 1990 election cycle. The overwhelming majority – 91 percent – has gone to Republicans.

Blankenship spent several million dollars on top of that in a 2004 West Virginia Supreme Court race, becoming a poster boy for those who oppose traditionally funded judicial elections and the conflicts that attach themselves to campaign contributions in such races. Blankenship’s favored candidate, Brent Benjamin, won the election, and proceeded to rule in Massey’s favor in a case brought by a smaller coal company. The smaller firm claimed that Benjamin should have recused himself, taking the claim all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 2009, the Court agreed, saying in Caperton v. Massey that "the probability of actual bias on the part of the judge or decisionmaker is too high to be constitutionally tolerable.”

Blankenship likely never expected that his involvement in the court race would become an impetus for turning West Virginia into a model for those wanting to overhaul state judicial selection. Last month Gov. Joe Manchin signed into law a pilot program that will provide candidates for the state’s highest court with public financing in 2012, as long as they abide by voluntary spending limits. West Virginia is now just the fourth state to publicly finance judicial elections, along with North Carolina, New Mexico and Wisconsin.

Jeannie Mai

This video will last 20 minutes Jeannie Mai Jenkins shares that during her first trimester she didn’t really have a sex drive. However, now that she’s in her second trimester she says,

“the party is on. It’s back and poppin’. … Everything is good in that department. I love it.”

She continues and shares her favorite position for sex.

“One of my favorite positions is actually being on top of J because you see your belly, you see his face [and]He gets to have fun. Like, he’s playing with your belly or playing with your breasts.”

She continues,

“I credit him. I didn’t tell him to do this, so him normalizing that the baby’s there. You know how some men might be like, ‘I don’t wanna touch the baby’ or maybe ‘I’m not touching the belly’? But making it all — like, ‘Yo, you gotta be up in the mix in this. This is how you made it!’”

“I think there’s something really beautiful about that.”

As previously reported by her, she spoke on September 17th at her talk show. The Real. JeannieMany people were shocked when she revealed that she was pregnant with her husband. Jeezy–whom she married back in March. The TV host revealed her baby bump before she shared it.

“Jeezy and I have been kind of saving this and hiding this for five months. So, we’re relieved to finally share the news.”

She continued,

“My entire life, I never wanted children. When I say never, I’m talking a hard-stop never. [But]Jeezy’s love made me see the world differently. Our love is honest, pure, and safe… something I hadn’t felt as a child.”

Into the Mystery

Into the Mystery

Everything is possible for you. —Mark 14:36 In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus addresses His prayers tenderly to “Abba, Father” but also reverently to the One for whom “everything is possible” (Mark 14:36). He is recognizing that intimate love and infinite power coexist and coalesce without contradiction in the heart of God. C. S. Lewis

Wondering Why

My God… why? — Jesus Hospital orderlies, dressed in green, had taken Sammy down to the operating room. We’d said our goodbyes and now, somewhere in Southampton General Hospital, a surgeon was preparing to conduct his third operation of the day. There was nothing more I could do. Sammy’s life was in the hands of

Rahab: Your Past Has Purpose

Rahab didn’t let her past control her future with God. We all have a past. And not just any past, a past that is presently living and active — shaping the way we think, believe, and act right this very moment. How we remember our life determines not only the way we relate to ourselves

A Deeper Knowledge of God

Editor’s note: If your life feels like a hectic, noisy, runaway train, you’re in good company. Nicole Johnson (you may remember her from Women of Faith) shares her story of going from feeling overwhelmed and out of control to finding calm even in the middle of chaotic circumstances.

Character Defects

The War Within

I don’t do what I should do and I want to do what I shouldn’t. The age old conundrum, doing what is the expected and right thing verses the attraction of doing the opposite. If it weren’t for my age and experiences acquired from choosing the wrong thing, I would not have the easier time that I do today to avoid this chaos.  Why is it that our self-will likes to rear its ugly head and try to twist our thinking to fall victim to the illusion of our mind and the wrong choice? As long as we walk this Earth our self-will is going to be contending with the Holy Spirit residing in each of us to interfere with God’s will for our lives. Check your experience…

“The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success.” Big Book, Page 60

Lord, let us turn our will and our lives over to Your care daily, AMEN.

“I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” Romans 7:18

 Have a blessed day y’all!

Food Coalition

Inputs from HiHi - FAO Zimbabwe to the corporate umbrella programme for COVID-19 response

The COVID 19 pandemic greatly disrupted lives and livelihoods of many people including smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. This pandemic affected the country at a time when it was battling to tackle the deteriorating macro-economic situation and escalating food security challenges. Whilst Zimbabwe has a strong reliance on agriculture for food and nutrition as well as economic growth, an estimated 7.7 mil-lion people out of the total population of 15 million are affected by food shortages in 2020 (WFP, 2020). Over 70% rely on agriculture for livelihoods and food security and the sector contributes about 10% to the national GDP.

The pandemic directly affected livelihoods of the majority of the population, particularly on both food commodity prices and agro-food based incomes. The movement restrictions instituted through lock-down had down steam effect to the agro-economy especially primary producers, traders and ago-indus-tries. Restrictions on the movement of goods and people had far-reaching impacts on the farming sector affecting food supply systems, worsening the food insecurity situation in rural and urban areas.

Disruptions in the supply chain and weakening demand for agriculture commodities have lead to declin-ing incomes as well as restricted operations of industrial consumers of commodities like horticultural commodities affected smallholder farmers’ trading activities and limiting the availability of key agricul-tural inputs like labour.

Current Vacancies

Can you spare some time to help support FYFC? We desperately need to fill these roles, otherwise the Club's future is in jeopardy.

The information below is a guide to give you a feel for where we need help. On some occasions, more time is needed and sometimes less . . . and if you would like to give even more time that's OK too!

The Club is constantly evolving and moving forward but it needs fresh ideas and approaches. Just because something has been done a certain way in the past, it doesn't mean that's the best or only way.  You might have ideas yourself of what you'd like to see done or how you think we can improve what we are already doing. Remember, everyone volunteers their time; none of us are paid experts and all help is gratefully received.

None of these roles take up that much time each week and many hands make light work. (Too many cooks do not spoil the broth in our case!). Please consider if you can give up a few hours each month and get in touch with us at contact@fyfc.org.uk or pop in the Clubhouse one Saturday morning.

WSB 2018 Jerez Testing – Kel Edge Gallery & Notes

The first bout of 2018 testing is complete for WSB, held at Jerez, as the circus prepares to move to Portimao for another couple of days whizzing round before jetting off to Oz for round one – just a single month away! So find here a lush gallery of snaps from Jerez, by the man that is Kel!

Leon Camier is already flying on the Red Bull Ten Kate Honda, using a qualifier to finish with the 4th best time and this still with the Cosworth electronics, due to be swapped out at Portimao bringing them in line with the rest of the grid.

Loris Baz seemed to enjoy being back in WSB where, most likely, he has a far greater chance of tasting some kind of success again after showing flashes of brilliance in MotoGP. Just flashes, mind you…

Chaz Davies finished 12th on the time sheets, but Chaz never goes for fast times in testing, and he was already behind after missing most of the last test through injury. He’ll be right up there on race day.

Jake Gagne, now a full time WSB pilot, put in a great deal of work to to learn, and love, the WSB spec’ Honda. He’ll have his hands full just beating team-mate Camier, mind you.

Jonny Hernandez was understandably cautious with his WSB introduction, getting used to tyres and bike, although now finds himself jetting off to ride the spare Tech Trois M1 at Sepang…

Despite Tech Trois boss Herve Poncheral recently stating in an interview that he would never, ever consider a rider already under contract in any series as a replacement for Jonas Folger in MotoGP, a single day later (the already contracted) Hernandez is now apparently one of the top options to replace Folger full time! You can take the man out of France…

Eugene ‘Norge’ Laverty will be hoping that 2018 is a better year for him and Aprilia, and team boos Shaun Muir has already been ringing the changes. No news on whether Norge’s  Biaggi’esque ‘tache will stay this season though!

The new rules have given Yamaha, who had already made big strides toward the end of last season, an extra boost. Alex Lowes could be in line for his first win in 2018, though the inter-team battle with MvdM will also be very interesting to watch!

A surprise signing in 2017, Marco Melandri has made a great number-two to Davies, almost Dani Pedrosa’like, picking up the podiums and wins if Chaz is off, or off the boil. Podiums are a certainty so long as the Ducati hasn’t been hit too hard by the rules.

Triple champ’ Jonny Rea set the second fastest lap, 0.6s off Sykes, without using a qualifying tyre. It’s hard to look past Rea again for the title, but then anything can happen in racing, and often does, right when you think you know exactly how things will roll.

Lorenzo Savadori didn’t perform as many expected him to last year, but then there were issues in the team by all accounts, with staff and machinery, which Muir has now sorted out. always looks good though!

Tom Sykes scorched to a MotoGP type lap time on a qualifying tyre, ending the test fastest. Tom’s finally decided to stop trying to make his ZX-10RR act like his title winning machine and is now concentrating on tailoring himself to the bike and new rules instead. Could be just the ticket for Tom.

Jordi Torres meanwhile, got to grips with his new steed, the MV Agusta F4 RC, sticking it in seventh place overall, proving there’s life in the old dog yet. As in the MV, not Jordi!

A big year for Michael van der Mark, and another big fight between he and team-mate Lowes no doubt for top bragging rights, and the best chance of a move up to MotoGP.

More from WSB when we get it!

Executive interview: Brian Carson looks to transform AHF Products

Home Featured Post Executive interview: Brian Carson looks to transform AHF Products

Invest heavily in state-of-the-art manufacturing innovations, bring creativity and excitement to a category under siege from competing hard surface segments and leverage the strongest brand portfolio in the hardwood flooring category. Those key objectives are high on the list of goals that industry veteran Brian Carson plans to implement as the newly appointed CEO of AHF Products—the spinoff company created when American Industrial Partners (AIP) purchased the wood business from Armstrong Flooring last year.

Carson, who brings more than 28 years of experience in the flooring space—including the last seven as president of Mohawk Flooring North America and a total of 16 years in operational leadership roles with Armstrong World Industries—plans to launch a record number of new products while undertaking a series of initiatives to streamline operations. All of this in the inaugural year of a standalone company.

FCNews publisher Steven Feldman and Reginald Tucker, managing editor, recently sat down with Carson to hear more specifics on his strategies. Following are excerpts of that discussion.

What are some of the things that intrigued you about the position of CEO, AHF Products?

For one, it’s an industry I know. Heck, I used to run these plants. But more importantly, it’s a business that I think can be dramatically improved. Fifty years ago, people wanted wood floors; 20 years ago, people wanted wood floors; and today, they still want wood. It’s the investment that increases the value of the home. So why would anybody settle for less when they could have the real deal? Many companies have focused on these other ‘wood-look’ products, which I believe created a leadership vacuum in the wood category.

What does AIP bring to the table?

We’re now owned by AIP, a private equity firm. These guys are fantastic operators who also have deep knowledge of the hardwood business. They own several other hardwood companies—not necessarily hardwood flooring—including timber companies. AIP also owns the old Armstrong cabinet business, which has experienced phenomenal growth. I think this is a fantastic group to be partnered with. It was a match made in heaven.

What’s the first thing you plan to turn your attention to right off the bat?

I’m a big believer that if you’re not moving forward to create more value for your customers, then you’re moving backwards. We have a great team here with a lot of ideas and innovations. Now, it’s about how do we get the flywheel turning faster. There are some incredible ideas in this business on how to make things better, and there are some innovations that have been sitting on the shelf possibly for too long. In our inaugural year as a standalone company, we are pursuing a transformation of AHF Products. We plan to launch a record number of new products and operational initiatives.

So mission No. 1 is to execute on the ideas that we already have and then put our minds to work on what are the next innovations that we’re going to bring out into the market. We’re all rolling up our sleeves and getting down in the trenches. I think we can really grow this thing and help our channel partners make a whole lot of money and provide solutions to their customers. That’s not only distributors but our retailers as well. We want them to feel a high level of excitement, a level of commitment.

How are you going to help your channel partners make money?

I think we can bring leadership and innovation back to this category, and we can breathe some marketing excitement back into hardwood. We can do some things in the area of channel segmentation and brand segmentation so all our channel partners can make money.

Have you put together an executive leadership team?

I’ve been extraordinarily impressed with the team that I have here. Mike Bell, formerly chief transition officer and now COO; Chris King, vice president of sales; Wendy Booker, vice president of marketing and product development; and Jeff Steed, CFO. While Jeff is new to hardwood flooring, he has spent a large part of his career in the hardwood industry. He’s going to make us all smarter.

How do you plan on handling distribution of the various brands? Will there be a stratification according to channel?

With AHF Products’ portfolio of brands (Bruce, Capella, HomerWood, Armstrong, etc.) along with our manufacturing capabilities, we can again be the leaders in the wood category. I think there’s a lot of opportunity here. We are going to adopt a brand hierarchy strategy. Obviously Bruce has tremendous equity and is really a workhorse brand, but we also need to have a strategy that helps trade up the consumer. HomerWood is going to play a role in that strategy, but I also see a real opportunity to help segment the channels as well. We’re very fortunate in that we have an arsenal of brands that no one else has out there. We will obviously support those brands by highlighting innovations to help differentiate the channels so all our channel partners can increase their profitability using our products.

So, in short, the brand marketing strategy will cut across all channels?

Yes. That’s retailers, distributors, builders and even national accounts. They are all essential to growing our business. Our job is to get the best innovations with the best marketing into these channels and let them have a lot of success and have a lot of fun with it.

What will become of the Armstrong ‘hardwood’ flooring brand?

We’ll go through the orderly transition out of the Armstrong brand and then we’ll move on. We expect that to happen within the next couple of years.

What’s your forecast for the market short term vs. long term, and how do you see AHF Products growing in relation to that?

Over the last two to three months we have seen some slacking in the overall market for all products. For almost 10 years we have seen pretty steady growth. Housing starts have slowed, but I don’t see a bubble in the market. I see the market continuing to grow. We may see a pause in that growth, but I see the markets as being relatively healthy. Our job at AHF Products is to outperform the market. Obviously we can’t control what goes up or down, but what we can control is how we perform in the market. And I think with the right products merchandised in the right way in the hands of the right channel partners, there is tremendous potential for our business regardless of what the overall market is doing.

How do you foresee your ideal product mix relative to what you make domestically vs. what you import?

In that regard, what’s most important is providing products that add value, whether it’s  unique styling or performance features. There is a role for sourcing, but there’s also tremendous value in improving existing manufacturing capabilities. Our primary goal is to innovate.

Are you currently happy with your factories, or is that something you’re going to look at carefully?

My job is to not be happy with the level of innovation because the second we become content is the second we start moving backwards. (Just look at what happened to companies like Blackberry.) In fact, just last week we approved some significant investments in the company, and we are going to invest in our manufacturing plants. I want to see better products coming out of our factories and we’re going to spend money to do that. We’re also going to invest more in our marketing and styling. Our job is to provide better tools to our channel partners. You need to have a healthy dissatisfaction and impatience with the status quo in order to be successful.

FDT Specification Enhanced to Incorporate Factory Automation Protocols

February 4, 2008

FDT Group releases specifications for Profinet I/O and Modbus communication  applications, enhancing our position as the solution of choice for vendor independent integration of devices and systems.

The FDT Group announces the release of the annexes for Profinet I/O and Modbus to its specification, which is the next step towards the application of the FDT technology in factory automation applications.  The annex or addendums include the XML schemas required to implement a Device Type Manager (DTM) for devices connected to the respective protocols.  The specifications are now available to all FDT Group Members and enable the integration of FDT technology into devices and system applied to discrete and factory applications.

As already verified in Process Automation applications, vendor-independent integration of systems and devices reduces the complexity and total cost of ownership of the automation system.  These cost savings are apparent in simpler engineering, reduced number of tools and reduced project complexity.

In addition, more annexes to the specification are under development:

  • The CIP annex will be amended with The final draft is now under member review.
  • The ASi annex draft version is in its final stage before members’ review after that prototyping will be done.
  • The working group for IO Link started its work in May 2007 and a first draft is now available. Prototypes have been recently displayed at the SPS/IPC/Drives fair.
  • Addressing the needs of the machine builders, a new working group is scheduled to start in December to develop the specification for the CANopen protocol.

Manfred Brill, member of the FDT executive committee and chair of the Factory Automation WG states “These activities show the strong commitment of the FDT Group to its strategy of broadening the range of applications for FDT. We are confident that the advantages already provided by FDT technology in Process Automation will be increasingly recognized by end users in Factory Automation”.

About the FDT Group AISBL

The FDT Group AISBL is a non-profit corporation consisting of over 59 leading worldwide companies active in process and factory automation.   The major purpose of the FDT Group is to provide an open and non proprietary interface for the integration of field devices with engineering, automation and asset management systems. In this environment, end users, manufacturers, universities and research organizations are working together to develop the technology, provide development tools, support and training, coordinate field trials and demonstrations, and enable product interoperability.

Amazing Rescue Cat Does Amazing Thing With Amazing Consequences

A rescue cat left dumped in a box outside a shop has proved to be the purrrrrrfect pet by raising the alarm when her young owner’s blood sugar levels dip to dangerous levels.

Pretty Pippa was adopted by the Jansa family from Whitstable in Kent who were won over by her friendly nature and gregarious character.Mia_Pippa – compressed.jpeg

Little did they know the black and white RSPCA puss would give them more than just love and cuddles – Pippa appears to have the special ability to detect when her eight-year-old owner is about to suffer a hypoglycemic episode due to her diabetes.

Pippa’s incredible gift came to light when she crept into Mia’s room and woke her up in the middle of the night prompting the schoolgirl to to test her blood sugar levels which showed they were dangerous low.

And when Pippa couldn’t get into the schoolgirl’s room to check she was feline fine, the persistent puss woke up her mum, Laura instead.

Mrs Jansa said: “We quickly realised she was warning us. If Mia didn’t wake up, then she would come to my door and miaow. She comes onto the bed, walks onto my pillow and across me until I wake up. She really makes her presence felt, she won’t take no for an answer. She knows it’s important that I get up and help Mia.”

Beth Hixson, manager of the RSPCA Canterbury and Dover Animal Centre said: “Pippa was dumped in a box outside a shop in Dartford. She has a such a sweet nature but I couldn’t believe it when I heard how she is helping Mia, I got goosebumps, it’s so amazing.

“She is one very special cat, she obviously has a very close bond with Mia.”

Mia has type one diabetes, an incurable condition, which she manages by regularly testing her blood sugar levels and injecting herself with insulin. She was diagnosed with the condition at six years of age when her parents were concerned that she was eating more than before but not putting on weight.

Mia tests her blood sugar levels between four and six times a day. If her blood sugar levels drop dangerously low she can experience a hypoglycemic episode which could lead to a coma. The schoolgirl is prone to suffering hypos at night when she is asleep and does not realise her blood sugar levels are dropping.

Pippa joined the family in August last year (2013) when they adopted her from the Canterbury, Dover and district branch of the RSPCA.

Mrs Jansa said since October the four-legged night nurse has alerted her about 20 times when Mia was in the early stages of having a hypo and now appears to sense when her drop sugar levels are dropping.

Mrs Jansa, who lives with her husband Karl, daughter and son Dylan, 10, added: “I think it must be something to do with her sense of smell, something to do with the chemistry of her blood changing. Pippa hasn’t been trained to do this but obviously senses that there is something wrong and raises the alarm.

“I know there is a charity that trains dogs to detect hypos for diabetics but I’ve never heard of a cat doing it. Pippa is amazing, because she does it of her own accord and without training. We don’t reward her with treats or food because we don’t want to encourage false alarms but she gets plenty of cuddles instead.”

Alice Potter, pet scientist at the RSPCA, said: “Although dogs alerting their owners to medical problems such as epilepsy, cancer and dangerously low blood pressure is well known, the RSPCA is not aware of any evidence in cats.

“Perhaps Pippa will be the cat to inspire new research in this area.”

Mia’s mum added: “We are working with the doctors to stop Mia’s night hypos, but in the meantime I sleep a bit easier knowing that Pippa is around. It is so nice to have that back-up, it’s really reassuring and certainly a bonus we were not expecting.

“It give me extra peace of mind to know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia. It’s helped me sleep better at night.”

She added: “Mia thinks Pippa is pretty amazing, she is very happy to have such a helpful cat, however she doesn’t want to be dependent on Pippa, she knows how important it is to be responsible for looking after her own health.

“Mia calls her ‘my special cat, my little protector’ and she’s got a soft spot for her.”

  1. Raising public awareness of street cats – Publication of a new book

    Dear Feline Online,

    My name is Dr. Raphaella Bilski and I am the author of a newly published book on street cats in Jerusalem which I believe would be of interest to all cat lovers, particularly to those who want to raise awareness of the situation of rescue cats in their communities. I am writing to you in the hope that we might collaborate in using this book to educate people about caring for street cats. Let me first say a few words about the book and how I came to write it.

    For over 14 years I lived with a community of street cats that established itself in my garden in Jerusalem, feeding and caring for the cats to the best of my abilities. This was a time before spaying and neutering were widely available in Israel, which meant that I had the rare opportunity to observe several generations of cats in their interactions with each other and with me.

    In one sense, then, this book is an ethological study presented in narrative rather than scientific form, and therein lies its uniqueness. While street cats can be seen in many cities around the world, lurking around trash cans and in back alleys, their world remains largely unknown. The book provides a rare look into the lives of these cats not only as individuals, each with his or her distinctive personality, but also as members of a community. As we read of the social life of street cats we encounter their hierarchies and the leaders among them, extraordinary displays of courage and friendship, different forms of motherhood, including joint motherhood, a compassionate attitude to the sick and the dying, cats teaching one another, and much more. No other book on cats offers such a long-term and in depth exploration of the lives of street cats in a communal context.

    The book also examines the complex and problematic interplay between the world of the street cat and our own human world. People often see these cats as a nuisance, at best to be ignored. Through the years I have formed deep bonds with individual cats. In this book, I try to convey to the reader the special nature and depth of these relationships, showing that the street cat can be a warm and loyal friend if treated correctly. I hope that this intimate and emotional encounter with the street cat will transform it from an obscure animal, roaming around trash cans, into a familiar, interesting and sympathetic creature.

    Finally, let me briefly introduce myself. I am a member of the Department of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In addition to my academic work, I was also an adviser to three Prime Ministers in Israel on social and welfare policies.

    My love of animals I learned from my mother who taught me to take care of street cats even as a young girl. The community of street cats started in my garden in 1993, two months after the death of my last dog, and I have been caring for it ever since.

    Following the publication of My Street Cats in Israel, I received many moving responses from readers, not all of them cat lovers. The book was also featured in the media (radio talk-shows and newspaper articles), raising public awareness of the lives and plight of the street cat. My goal in publishing the English edition of My Street Cats is to further raise public awareness of street cats world-wide and promote a more compassionate attitude towards these amazing animals. For that need your help.

    I would be grateful if you would consider reviewing or mentioning the book on Feline Online. I would be happy to send you a complementary review copy in print or in Kindle format and I am available to answer any question that you may have.

    Also, please note that all profits from the sale of the book go towards the continued care of street cats in Jerusalem and the implementation of a TNR program there. At present, there are an estimated 500,000 street cats in the Jerusalem area.

    I thank you in advance for taking the time to consider my request and please don’t hesitate to contact me.

    Kind Regards,

    Dr. Raphaella Bilski

  2. Don’t you think its strange to see a bunch of fritus and vegetables on the front of cat food? Cats can’t even digest that stuff, why advertise it? If I were them I’d put lots of meat on the front.What do you think?It’s premium natural cat food by purina that gave me the idea for this question, although I’ve seen it on other products. They have chicken corn salmon peas carrots and berries on the front of their products.The add says eat a variety of wholesome ingredients makes just as much sense to your cat as it does to you

Home Hair & Beauty What Does Your Hairstyle Say About You?

What Does Your Hairstyle Say About You?

by Femme Staff

Chantal-Biya HairI’ve had a short perm for as long as I can remember. I know they say change your hairstyle every few years but a short perm for several years now looks like my hair ever after and every time I want to change it I get confused and simply go for another retouch and trim. There are so many options when it comes to hair repertoire that my excuses are running short. In the meantime, what does my short perm say about me? Whatever science there is about hairstyles and personality, my personal story is that I’ve had mine for this long because it is non intrusive, easy to manage and I can interchange it between wash and go and styling.

So what does your hairstyle say about you?

Completely bald

Women with completely bald heads make a loud, strong statement. I dare say louder than women who have taken the time to tend to their tresses and style them. In a society that so strongly links a woman’s hair to her femininity, it takes a strong confident woman to go against the grain and cut hers all off. So, a bald head communicates a daring go-getter approach to life, one who does not give a hoot about conventional beliefs and cultures.

Relaxed hair is easy to style, easy to manage and usually needs quite a bit of care to keep it strong despite the chemicals. It does involve altering the chemical composition of natural hair and this, according to those against it is a failure on the woman’s part in embracing what nature gave her. The woman who keeps this kind of hair is seen to be structured, careful, and wants everything in place – including every hair strand.

Dreadlocks have hitherto been associated with rebels and alternative society. Breakaway cults, miscreants and people who were not in any serious mainstream careers. Even when they started getting mainstream, they were at first mostly taken up by men. Not any more. Dreadlocks are now not only mainstream among women of all walks of life but also quite stylish. They’re now associated with creative spirits like artists, musicians and writers but are also now to be found in corporate space. They generally come off as preferred by carefree women who are tired of salons but do not want to give up their natural hair.

Kinky hair

This is hair as it should arguably be. Advocates for this kind of hair argue that kinky hair is beautiful and should be left as is without being subjected to harsh chemicals, hot combs and tongs. Women who keep this style are a confident lot because we’re still pretty westernized as a society and this woman has decided to go against that particular grain and wear her hair natural. They’re bold beautiful free spirited women with nappy hair and they love it!

Braided Hair

Braids are for the woman who just wants to take a break from it all, be it natural or relaxed hair. This woman also wants to look stylish while at it and still maintain a happy go lucky up and go style. Depending on the colour of the braids, this style may signify an adventurous woman as some use daring colours that you wouldn’t otherwise find in the natural colour range. This is one patient woman as braids take a lot of time to get done and may sometimes involve several braiders working on the same head.

And then of course there is the woman who struts in loud boisterous hair that you can barely ignore. She’s there to grab attention and is quite easily the talk of the room, the compound and indeed the village and is usually unapologetic about it. These women are few and far between and are the epitome of self esteem.

Oscar-Winner James Horner Dead In Plane Crash

James Horner, the film composer who won an Academy Award for co-writing “My Heart Will Go On” for 1997’s Titanic, died in a plane crash outside Santa Barbara yesterday. He was 61.

An avid pilot, Horner was flying solo flying his two-seater single-engine S312 Tucano when he crashed north of Santa Barbara, sparking a brushfire.

Horner has composed music for over 100 films earning 64 nominations for various awards including the Academy Awards, the Grammys, the Golden Globes, the BAFTA Awards and the ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards. He would 45 of those nominations.

Although he started out working on low budget films such as The Watcher (1978) and The Lady In Red (1979), his first big break came when he was hired to score Star Trek II – The Wrath Of Khan (1982). He returned to the franchise for Star Trek III – The Search For Spock in 1984 but his workload had become such that he was unavailable to return for future installments of the franchise.

Horner collaborated with director James Cameron on three films, 1986’s Aliens, 1997’s Titanic and 2009’s Avatar, and had been planning on working on Cameron’s Avatar sequels.

Other films for which Horner composed music include Battle Beyond The Stars, An American Tail, Field of Dreams, The Rocketeer, Patriot Games, Swing Kids, Apollo 13, Braveheart, The Mask Of Zorro, A Beautiful Mind, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas and The Amazing Spider-Man.

All-electric Audi Q5 e-tron unveiled: Features 6 & 7 seat layouts

The new Audi Q5 e-tron is unveiled in China at the Auto Guangzhou 2021 Motor Show. It will first go on sale in the Chinese market with three powertrain choices.

By:November 22, 2021 5:06 PM

German brands have held the torch of moving the automotive space towards electrification. In the Indian market, Audi has recently launched the low-slung e-tron GT, along with the RS e-tron GT. Internationally, the German marque has now taken the cover off the Q5 e-tron that comes with three rows of seats. The Audi Q5 e-tron has been unveiled in China at the Auto Guangzhou 2021 Motor Show. Developed in collaboration with the SAIC under the VW-SAIC joint venture, the Q5 e-tron will first go on sale in the Chinese market, followed by its entry into other international markets.

The Q5 e-tron looks fairly big in size. It is 4,876 mm long, 1,860 mm wide and 1,675 mm tall. The wheelbase at 2,965 mm isn’t short either. Underpinned by the MEB platform of Volkswagen Group, the Q5 e-tron is essentially a reworked avatar of the China-specific Volkswagen ID 6.

For the styling, It features a busy-looking front face, which is very typical of a new-age Audi. The single-frame grille is colossal-sized, and it is covered for the improved aerodynamic drag coefficient. Angular headlamps add to the overall appeal, and the front bumper misses out on fog lamps to house functional air vents. The tail of the Q5 e-tron looks neat as well. Thanks to slim LED tail lamps and a light bar that extends across the width, a bit of larger e-tron is visible here.

Interior is designed with heavy inspiration from the Q4 e-tron. The centre stage is taken by an 11.6-inch infotainment screen, while the instrument console is a 10.25-inch display. With a larger footprint and a long wheelbase, the Q5 e-tron is reported to be spacious on the inside. It gets three-row seating with 6- and 7-seat layouts. The former comes with captain chairs in the second row.

The most crucial aspect of the Q5 e-tron remains its powertrain. After all, it is an all-electric offering. There will be three variants on offer – 35, 40, and 50. The 35 guise will come in an RWD layout with a 180 Hp motor. The battery capacity for this variant stands at 55 kWh. The mid-spec 40 variant will feature a 204 Hp motor and 83.4 kWh battery pack. The top of the line 50 variant, on the other hand, gets the same 83.4 kWh battery pack but with an AWD layout and 302 Hp dual-motor setup. Time for the 0-100 kmph sprint is claimed at 6.7 seconds, while the claimed driving range is 560 km on a full charge.

Mondo bizarro and normal

If it could be packaged or marketed it would be a best seller, the new normal. Mondo bizarro 2020 pretty much scuttled our concepts of standard or usual in lifestyles. What we know about calendars, schedules, timetables, schemes, or intentions have been obscured by mazes of doubt, question marks, and uncertainty. The pandemic threw us all off---working from home, home school systems, church cancellations, mask systems, and every measure of medical uncertainty. Election 2020 sowed seeds of doubt, system malfunction, and evil into our every four year constitutional right of government. With our own personal stuff, it was mondo bizarro. Regular life was lost in the weirdness.

Now we're fast-forwarding to 2021 in the hope we'll meet the new normal there. Surely by January 1 of the New Year we'll have recovered some of the stables of what is normal.

Then again, maybe not. The turning of the calendar these days isn't a secret entrance to a new world or magical escape from an old one. With just thirty days in the final stretch of 2020 we should, however, seek to finalize what works to keep us on point regardless of the cultural heartbeat. What is normal, whether new or old, isn't the deal for those of us with a Christian worldview anyway. My norm isn't what makes society tick. Normal for those of us sharing a Christian worldview is the new life we live by faith.

Lifestyle and personal norms are a consistent biblical theme. On the front page is the truth that our lives are not to be a reflection of what is popular in culture. And, that, of course, is a regrettable reality about our concept of new norms. They are what the majority says they are, all too often. But, adoption of a world standard isn't a new norm for me. I mean, think about these Scriptures---

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12: 2, ESV

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1: 10, ESV

Just the same, a genuine new norm is the product of what we have learned during a mondo bizarro experience and the life God has planned for our future. Note the new norm the Apostle Paul experienced after assessing his times of plenty and need---

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Philippians 4: 12-13, ESV

He had experienced the mondo bizarro of need and the joys of abundance. His new norm was the heavenly strength to face all things. Wow!!! New norm indeed.

The truth is that new norm is a personal decision. Chances are the mysteries of Covid-19 will still place question marks around our life planning 2021. Schedules and agendas will remain a matter of daily planning and adjustment. New elements of mondo bizarro may introduce even more uncertainty about the new normal. In anticipation, I may need to preclude these remaining thirty days with the question and declaration of Joshua, prepping Israel to enter the promised land---

And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Joshua 24: 15, ESV

New normal? No big deal. Its the same, mondo bizarro or not. And, I must choose---same 'ol, same 'ol, or something new. I'm hearing the words God gave to the Prophet Isaiah---"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"

(Isaiah 43: 19, ESV). That's the new normal.

Mondo bizarro is overwhelmed by the new thing. The genuine new normal.

The Story Of Fitzbillies

There are two branches of Fitzbillies, one at each end of town,
the original in Trumpington Street, and the new branch in Bridge Street.

Chapter 1.

The Founding of Fitzbillies

Fitzbillies was founded in 1920 by Ernest and Arthur Mason, using their ‘demob’ money from the First World War. Their initials are still visible in worn-out gold letters on the shop front.

They were the sons of local baker ‘Ticker’ Mason, who had a shop further up Trumpington St, where the newsagents is now. Ticker was a bread maker, so his boys specialised in fancy cakes, and of course, Chelsea buns.

Chapter 2.

The Early Years

Fitzbillies quickly became the cake-shop of choice for the university and townsfolk. Initially it was famous for its special Fitzbillies sponge cake. A local historian told us...

‘I was born in Cambridge in 1926, in a don's family. Before WW2, no don's family tea table would have been complete without a Fitzbillies Sponge Cake, it was the thing for which Fitzbillies was famous. Chelsea buns were on offer, but it was the cake that carried the flag. And it was very good, and it was often preceded at the tea table by cucumber sandwiches on brown bread with the crusts cut off.

Chapter 3.

After the War

Fitzbillies kept baking during and after the Second World War. The Chelsea buns were a rare treat in the days of rationing. In the Observer Guide to British Cookery Jane Grigson wrote...

When the war was over, everyone thought food queues would be over, too. In fact, everything continued as greyly as before, and the most anxious queues I had ever joined were outside Fitzbillies in Cambridge. No undergraduate tea party was complete without their Chelsea buns, syrupy, well spiced, licentious and exceptional during the years of ersatz cakes and shortages. I still think they are the best Chelsea buns I have ever eaten.’

Chapter 4.

Tough Times for Fitzbillies

After the boom of the post war years, the 1980s and 90s were a much tougher time for small bakeries. They faced growing competition from supermarkets and takeaways, and Fitzbillies was no exception. In 1991, Fitzbillies went bankrupt for the first time, but was bought out of receivership and relaunched.

Then in 1998 the premises were devastated by fire. It took nearly two years to rebuild, however the business kept going, baking offsite and selling Chelsea buns in the shop next door to the original, on the corner of Pembroke Street, where our Coffee Shop is now.

Chapter 5.

The Relaunch of Fitzbillies

In 2011, like many bakeries on high streets all over the UK, Fitzbillies succumbed to difficult trading conditions and closed due to bankruptcy for the second time. Stephen Fry posted a lament to the Chelsea Buns on twitter and that was seen by current owners Alison Wright and Tim Hayward.

A Cambridge girl, with fond childhood memories of Fitzbillies, Alison left her career in London to rescue and relaunch the ailing business. 9 years on the business is thriving with a new café behind the cake shop in Trumpington St and a coffee shop on the corner, a second branch in Bridge St and a larger bakery making artisan bread as well as the cakes and Chelsea buns.

Chapter 6.

The 100th Birthday

This year Fitzbillies is celebrating its 100th birthday. Tim and Alison have written a book to celebrate: Fitzbillies - The Stories & Recipes of a 100 Year Old Cambridge Bakery.

Throughout the year they will be speaking at a series of events including the Cambridge Literary Festival and the Cambridge Food Festival, telling the story of the first 100 years of Fitzbillies. Signed copies of the book are available in our branches and online.

Careers at Fitzbillies

We are always looking for talented people to join our growing company, offering exciting opportunities for bakers, chefs, baristas, managers, waiters and customer service team members.

Chelsea Bun Facts

We've been baking our famous Fitzbillies Chelsea buns since 1920

The ultra-sticky Chelsea buns are Fitzbillies most famous and most popular product since 1920.

We bake them by hand 362 days a year (Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day are our only days off), starting at 4 in the morning, so the buns are ready when we open at 8am.

There are 40 buns in a tray of Chelseas

On a busy day we make 20 trays - that’s 800 buns

In Easter week, we made 100 trays - that’s 4000 buns

Last year we made around 160,000 Chelsea buns

Head Baker, Gill Abbs joined the business in 1971, 50 years ago, and we estimate that in that time she has made 5 million buns - enough to stretch from Cambridge to the International Space Station.
