The water bore pump is essentially the heart of an irrigation system. If the pump breaks down, it is vital that bore pump repairs are tackled at the first sign of trouble.

Failure to maintain or repair systems can result in water wastage or increased electricity usage at a lower end, and it can go as far as burning up the pump's motor, killing the pump itself and causing issues to the bore and installations around it.

BD Water doesn’t just drill bores, install pumps, and design irrigation systems. We are also proud to offer support for current installations, repairs, diagnosis of issues, maintenance, improvements, and bore pump repairs in Perth, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every time the system is running, there’s water bubbling up in other areas. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have a broken pipe. This is the most common cause for water leakages and bubbling up.

We can discuss with you this over the phone and repair any issues we find.

The controller looks fine, but it won’t start anything. What do I do?

Your first step should be to ensure the pause or rain function hasn’t been enabled.

You should also check the circuit breaker and override switch.

If you’re connected to mains water you, will need to check the isolating valves.

If this doesn’t solve your problem, we'll be happy to discuss the issue and run a diagnosis and any necessary repairs.

The controller screen is blank. What do I do?

The first step is to ensure it still has power. Plug something else into the same power source to be sure.

If your system is hard-wired, then you will need to check the metre box to ensure a circuit hasn’t tripped or a fuse blown.

If the problem persists, get in touch with us and we will send someone to assess the issue and service your reticulation controller.

How do insurance claims work?

You will have to check with your insurance provider to see if you’re eligible to claim a replacement or repairs. Fusion, due to power surges or lightning strikes, is the most common reason for insurance claims related to water bore pumps in Perth.

We take care of insurance claims as any other job. Our goal is to provide the best possible service and fix your issue in an efficient and effective way. We charge you directly and provide a report so that you can take care of the insurance claim directly with your provider.

Why does my sprinkler system leak water even when the system is off?

If your sprinkler system or a single station continues to run or water pools at the heads while it is not supposed to operate, you could be experiencing one of these two likely scenarios:

  • A zone valve, main valve or both of them are not sealing - this is the most common reason for leakage is debris obstructing the valve membrane or diaphragm, which will require disassembly of the valve, rinse and flush of all components and re-assembly. If components are damaged they will likely require replacement.
  • Low Head Drainage - this will occur at the lowest point in the station layout and can be a sizeable issue if your station is quite large, as water will continue to drain until the pipework is empty. This can be amended with the installation of check valves on affected sprinklers or lateral station piping.
I don’t know where my valves are, and I don’t have an installation diagram. Is it difficult to locate them?

Valve location and wiring faults can be amongst the most challenging tasks in the residential sector.

How difficult it is very much depends on the age and installation standards of the system's original design.

Despite this, there are tools and technologies that our tradesmen are equipped and knowledgeable in, that streamline this process.

Valve location services are charged hourly due to the subjective nature of each system’s individual design.

Get Started Quickly with Cytobank Basics

Learning a new software and fully leveraging its functionality requires upfront effort but will pay off long term. This is especially true for the Cytobank platform, as it was designed with principles in mind that are different from standard flow cytometry analysis tools. With the information provided here and the Cytobank Basics tutorial video you will get an overview of capabilities and get started quickly with analyzing your own data.

Data Management to Ensure Reproducibility

The analysis of flow cytometry and other single cell data requires a number of steps, such as compensation and other pre-processing tasks, gating and data visualization in different plot types as well as the export of statistical results for further analysis and graphing. This is typically done manually by individual researchers who may even use different tools for each of these different steps. As a result, the connection between primary data and final presented results is often not immediately obvious.

The Cytobank platform was specifically designed to address this challenge. For data analyzed on the Cytobank platform, it is always possible to drill down from a publication quality figure to the underlying primary data, thus ensuring that important knowledge on how scientific conclusions were drawn is retained and documented.

Link between primary data and results on Cytobank

Figure 1. Link between Primary Data and Results on the Cytobank Platform.

The Experiment Manager on the Cytobank platform offers an interface that supports users in navigating their data by options to sort, filter and tag experiments. Linked experiments can be visualized in a tree-like hierarchy, enabling researchers to find related experiments quickly and to easily grasp the sequence of an analysis workflow.

Linked experiments in Cytobank

Figure 2. Linked Experiments in Experiment Summary Page.

Enabling Collaboration to Accelerate Discovery

International collaboration has become a driving force for scientific innovation. The Cytobank platform enables researchers around the globe to share their data and to collaborate on data analysis. Experiments can be grouped into Projects and collaborators can be assigned custom access permissions. Sample tags provide important contextual information that is accessible to everyone working on a data set and is no longer buried in individual lab notebooks. Additional information such as experimental protocols or results from other methods can be attached to the experiment on the Cytobank platform to create a central information repository.

Comprehensive Analysis of High Parametric Data

Data analysis packages for flow cytometry need to offer a number of functionalities, such as tools for compensation, gating and displaying data using different plot types. The Cytobank platform offers all of these prerequisites as well as fully integrated Machine Learning algorithms that enable an unbiased assessment of the data. Manual analysis of high dimensional data can be assumption-driven and may not allow the detection of unexpected effects. The unsupervised nature of clustering and dimensionality reduction tools such as viSNE, SPADE and FlowSOM increases the chance of discovering previously undescribed phenotypes.

Dynamic Figure Generation for Complex Data Sets

One of the main differentiators the Cytobank platform offers when it comes to the creation of figures from complex experiments is the use of sample tags to generate dynamic visualizations of results. Sample Tags become variables within the Working Illustration. These variables can be toggled on or off and rearranged dynamically to build and modify a figure. This allows one to work above the level of FCS file names, and instead use the scientific variables that were present in the experiment, to build a figure while retaining transparent access to the underlying experiment annotation and data processing steps.

Bee Removal FAQ

1. Do you have experience removing bees from a wall?

Removing honeybees from a wall requires carpentry experience. A novice beekeeper can cause more damage than good if they are not experts in carpentry.

2. What is the process of removing bees from a wall?

An experienced beekeeper will identify the location of the bees with an infrared camera, use a smoker to calm the bees, use a bee vacuum and other professional tools to remove the honeybees safely, extract the hive, clean the affected area, apply pesticide to deter honeybees from returning to the empty hive, fill the open area with insulation and replace the wall with the original material whenever possible.

3. Do you have pictures of honeybee removals from walls?

Trustworthy honeybee removal companies will have plenty of pictures. Choose a company that has more than just a few examples.

4.How long have you been a beekeeper?

Because there are many species of bees, a beekeeper must have extensive knowledge of the different techniques to safely and effectively remove the bees.

5. How long have you been in business?

Make sure they have a valid business license and have many years of experience in the bee removal field.

6. Do you have references?

A reputable bee removal company will have good ratings online on platforms such as Google. Be wary of businesses that have too few good reviews. Itâ€™s not unusual for novice companies to ask friends and family to create favorable reviews.

7. Do you guarantee your work?

Read the warranty or guarantee agreement carefully. A good bee removal company will warranty a removal requiring a repair for at least a year.

8. Do you have insurance?

Some companies operate with little or no insurance. Companies should have both liability and workmanâ€™s compensation insurance. This is a good precaution against accidents caused by bee smokers causing fires or beekeepers falling from roofs or trees.

A testimonial, from a teacher:

“A year ago I had never experienced or even considered hypnotherapy as a way of boosting my confidence and performance at work, but offered a free taster session with Jill, I thought I had nothing to lose and gave it a go. An OFSTED inspection was due and I knew how nervous I felt during the last visit. I felt sure that my nerves badly affected my ability to think straight and teach well and a boost of self-confidence would not go amiss.

Jill’s hypnotherapy treatment made me feel extremely relaxed and the recording that she sent me allowed me to continue her relaxation techniques at home. Fast forward a year and the dreaded inspector knocked at the door. Now, I’m not sure if the hypnotherapy was to thank for a much less stressful OFSTED experience, but I definitely felt calmer and more confident in my ability to teach well under scrutiny and present my achievements with pride. I would certainly consider hypnotherapy again to steady my nerves and improve my self-confidence. Thank you Jill”   (Jacqui 30.9.2018)

What’s so good about Health Savings Account Compatible Health Insurance Plans?

When Health Savings Accounts (HSA) were introduced in 2004 they were the most exciting thing to happen in health insurance in a long time. “Exciting” and “insurance” aren’t two words commonly found in the same sentence, but with Health Savings Account Compatible Health Plans that was different because HSA’s significantly reduced the monthly cost or “premium” of health insurance plans.  Sadly, the cost savings of HSA compatible plans has gradually eroded and by now (March 2016) the cost savings of HSA compatible plans has nearly disappeared.  They are no longer the great deal they used to be.

HSA California medical insurance plans were exciting for two reasons:

  1. The health insurance premium was significantly lower than conventional California health insurance plans; and,
  2. People enrolled in an HSA compatible health insurance plan are eligible to set up a Health Savings Account, which is much like an IRA. Essentially, people can pre-fund their California medical insurance plan deductible into an account which they own. Best of all, the money deposited into the HSA accounts is Federal Income Tax deductible.

HSA are designed to be catastrophic health insurance plans where small items, like routine doctor’s office visits are paid by the insured person. When something serious happens and the insured person needs major medical treatment, the health insurance plan will pay for that.

HSA plans bundle all of the medical and prescription medicine (Rx) expenses into a single “out-of-pocket” maximum (OOP Max.)   As a consequence, HSA plans have become magnets for people with bad risk – e.i., people who use A LOT of medical services.  Because so many “high utilizers” are on HSA plans the monthly premium has increased dramatically.  They are no longer a good deal.

Here’s an example of why HSA compatible plans have become so expensive:  We have a client who had a kidney transplant and must take medications (Rx) that cost $3,000/month for the rest of his life (he’s in his early 60s.)  By enrolling in an HSA compatible plan with his wife he has a $6,000 OOP maximum.  He meets the maximum by the second month of the year and the plan pays 100% of his expenses for the remainder of the year.  It is a great deal for him because the insurance plan pays just about all of the cost for his Rx and medical services.  Multiply the common sense decision making of this client by thousands of others with serious health conditions and you change the economics of the plans.  The only way to lower the monthly premium is with more healthy (low utilizers) enrolled.

With HSA plans the scale has tipped towards more high users enrolled and not enough healthy people.  Consequently HSA compatible plans are very expensive and no longer a good deal.   In fact, many of the conventional ACA plans offer doctor visit copays, Rx, and other benefits before paying a high deductible and these non-HSA plans are less expensive than the HSA plans which don’t pay for these services before the member pays the deductible.

About HSA Plans in General

One very unique feature of a Health Savings Account High Deductible Health Plan is that, unlike conventional health insurance plans in California, these plans do not pay for prescription medicine expenses until the entire medical deductible has been paid by the insured person. On most California health insurance plans prescription medicine is available immediately especially for generic medications. Sometimes conventional health plans have a separate deductible for brand medications. On Health Savings Account compatible High Deductible Health Insurance Plans in California, no prescription medicine benefit is paid until the entire deductible has been paid.

Another unique feature of Health Savings Account High Deductible Health Plan is that when two or more family members are covered on the same plan, all members of the family contribute to a single deductible. This is much better than traditional medical insurance plans in California where usually 2 separate deductibles must be paid before the insurance company starts to pay. In this situation, many members of a family can pay a lot for medical services yet never reach the medical insurance deductible.

Health Savings Account compatible health insurance plans did offer people an opportunity to spend less to finance their medical care – no longer. They are a bit complicated and for some people they still make financial sense.  If you offer group health insurance in California you may want to include an HSA compatible plan.  We can assist you.  Click here to request a group medical insurance quote.

Berri Barmera Council has embarked on an exciting Master Planning exercise for Riverview Drive Berri between Vaughan Terrace and the Berri Caravan Park.

Council recognises that this area is changing with new developments soon to be established on the former Berri Bowling Club land and ongoing investments made by the Berri Hotel and Berri Caravan Park. This stretch of road is in a prime public space which our community and visitors enjoy for events, relaxing, exercising and outdoor dining. It is a special place which Council recognises can be so much better.

Masterplan Elements

Riverview Drive in this precinct has been identified as having redundant road space, a legacy from when trucks and cars used it to access the old ferry crossing. Council wants to put the road on a diet, free up space for the community to enjoy by expanding the riverside park areas and also create more functional areas for civic and entertainment events.

As a major project the improvements will occur over several years and combine a number of desired smaller stages that will result in Berri being a destination of choice and a great place to live. Tourists and visitors attending major events at venues, such as the nearby Regional Sports and Recreational Hub at Glassey Park, will now have added value to their stay with first class accommodation facilities and a thriving riverfront precinct for their enjoyment.

Masterplan Concept Drawing

Berri Riverfront Wharf

The lack of mooring facilities along the Berri riverfront has been identified as impacting on local river users, visitors and larger vessels, such as houseboats, which have difficulty in mooring and visiting the township by river. This has become more apparent since the Berri marina and boat ramp were upgraded which have assisted in attracting more river events to the town and increased usage at the facility.

Council has secured funding through the Boating Facilities Fund to install a sheet piled wharf running 260m, incorporating a footpath and providing increased and safer mooring facilities for river vessels, which will encourage river users to stop and visit the township adding to the tourism attraction as well as being a great facility for locals to utilise.

Ensuring that the there is direct, welcoming and user friendly access from the river to the towns retail and recreational services, will certainly assist in rejuvenating the Berri Riverfront precinct, and an increase to river traffic will assist the growth of the town as a whole.

In particular the Vietnam War Memorial is located very close to the kerbs of Vaughan Terrace and Riverview Drive. In consultation with Riverland Vietnam Veterans a design has been developed creating significantly more space around the Memorial for events, quiet contemplation and paying respect.

This event aims to support and map cultural industries in Egypt. Since it has become evident that many important cultural activities are beginning to be, or have already become, nonexistent due to various economic reasons, this event aims to benefit craftsmen from all over Egypt and help build synergies between them and other cultural operators and institutions. This endeavor will help bring the fading art of craftsmanship back to life. Saving those crafts will in turn help in boosting the economy by reviving this industry and reactivating it, turning it into a thriving national business.

In the event, various booths will be provided for craftsmen to show and sell their work. The festival will also include Egyptian, cultural, and folkloric shows performed by local artists and traditional, ethnic food and drinks produced and sold by local vendors.

Dustin Collins Shares Two New Songs From 'It's Been Awhile': Premiere

Dustin Collins
Courtesy of Adkins Publicity

Dustin Collins

Kentucky-born Dustin Collins has already had a bit of chart success under his belt. His single “Cold Dead Hands” hit number one on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart. Now signed to Colt Ford’s Average Joe’s Entertainment, Collins plans on taking a giant step forward with the Aug. 3 release of It’s Been Awhile, his new album. Billboard is excited to bring you an exclusive first listen to two songs from the album. Having this new music before fans is something that Collins takes very seriously.

"My mentor and best friend Dave Long really encouraged me, and now seeing one believer turn into two and three and four and the amount of support that we're getting to release this album is making me real hopeful,” he tells Billboard. “We released 'The Barn' as the first single. I mean, we got thousands of streams in a couple weeks off the first singles record. I'm just excited about the rest of them coming out in just a few weeks.”

Collins insists that he wouldn’t be here with this opportunity were it not for his team. He credits his band for really leading the push and keeping him motivated.

“I love all the guys in my band. They've stuck with me for years now. Lots of road dates. We've really come up with this cool sound and when I wrote these songs it was important to me to try to keep true to what we were doing as a band. Even though on the name of the album, you see my name on it - there's so many people that have helped and put their self out there for me. I have a lot of awesome people behind me to help and get advice from and draw from their inspiration, too.”

Growing his career organically has proven to be a success for the traditional-minded singer. “Every time I get a message on Facebook or I get a tweet and somebody saying, ‘I love your songs’ or ’I love your music,’ it hits my heart real heavy. I started off playing in small bars. There were about forty people in there, and half the time they were watching the ballgame,” he says with a chuckle.

When it comes to his influences as far as entertaining goes, he says that one current hitmaker stands pretty tall. “Jason Aldean just lights it up every time he steps on stage. It's big, it's powerful, it's like going to a rock and roll show. That's all I've ever wanted with my show is just to bring that excitement to country music. Even the intro music before everybody comes out -- it just gets you pumped up and ready to see the show.”

He says whenever he goes to a show – regardless of who it is on stage – he’s taking notes.

“I try to pay attention to the kind of songs that people are singing. The kind of songs that people are writing, and the kind of songs that people are cutting. I watch everything, down to the way they interact with the crowd. Hopefully, leaving a show I hope I feel inspired to step my game up just a little bit more.”

What are the goals that Collins has for his music? He says he just hopes it will do well enough that he can do more.

“I just want to play. If I can have a career in music to where I get to go out and play my music for people that love to hear it, that's my goal. Sometimes there's times when I feel like I've made it because I'm playing with a couple other bands that I really look up to and get to share a bill with guys like that and to see everybody smiling, that's what we do it for.”

One track that has particular meaning to the singer is “It Always Starts With You,” of which he says “The world can be an ugly place sometimes. We see it on the news every day. I wrote that song just because everybody wants change in the world but not a lot of people just sit down and say, 'You know what? It starts with me.' If I change one or two things about being ugly at somebody, you know one smile can change somebody’s life.”

Global rapeseed production covers demand despite drought

July 7, 2019 |

In Germany, according to UFOP, in its current global rapeseed supply outlook for 2019/20, the International Grain Council (IGC) anticipates a considerable decline in world production. At the same time, global stocks are expected to rise to a record high.

In its recent forecast for the 2019/20 marketing year, the IGC projects global rapeseed production at 69.8 million tonnes. In other words, the harvest is set to drop 3 per cent from the previous year’s level. This is a result of inadequate rainfall and distribution of rain over the growth period, as it was the previous year. According to Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft mbH (AMI), the EU harvest will amount to approximately 17.9 million tonnes of rapeseed. This would be down just less than 2 million tonnes from the previous year. The IGC expects the biggest decrease to occur in France, which continues to be the number one rapeseed producer in the EU, producing 4 million tonnes, Romania and Germany. According to the harvest estimate of the Deutscher Raiffeisenverband (DRV), the German harvest will decrease 16 per cent year-on-year to 3.1 million tonnes.

Although the IGC forecasts a significant drop in harvest, the organisation also expects an increase in global rapeseed stocks. At 7.1 million tonnes, stocks are even projected to reach the highest level in ten years, first and foremost because of rising stocks in Canada. The latter are likely due to the continuing delivery problems as regards shipments to China.

HBOS shareholders were meeting in Birmingham today to vote on the bank’s rescue takeover by Lloyds TSB and an £11.5billion taxpayer bail-out.

Approval will clear the way for the creation of a banking giant with around 145,000 staff and 3,000 branches across the UK.

Unions fearing tens of thousands of job losses as a result of the deal are planning protests outside the meeting at the NEC centre.

Unite’s joint general secretary Derek Simpson said: “It is vital that HBOS shareholders do not merely consider the financial rewards of a takeover, but the wider social and employment implications.

“Along with the loyal customers, employees of Lloyds TSB and HBOS are the life-blood of these banks.”

But HBOS chairman Dennis Stevenson has warned the bank could face full nationalisation if shareholders fail to approve the takeover.

The Government is already set to own as much as 43.5 per cent of the combined entity – to be known as Lloyds Banking Group – after underwriting a total of £13 billion in new shares offered by the duo to strengthen their balance sheets rocked by recent financial turmoil.

These new shares are likely to be snubbed by existing investors because the offer price is above the current share prices of the duo.

Current HBOS investors – which include two million smaller shareholders – will be left with a stake of just 20 per cent in the combined bank, with Lloyds TSB shareholders owning 36.5 per cent.

Competition concerns over the HBOS takeover have been put aside in the interests of financial stability.

The Merger Action Group (MAG), a group of businessmen, bank customers and shareholders opposed to the deal, lost a legal challenge to prevent the takeover this week.

Today’s meeting at the NEC will see shareholders vote on plans for the £8.5 billion offering of ordinary shares, as well as £3 billion in preference shares to be held by the government.

These preference shares come with strings attached such as a ban on dividend payouts while the government still holds them.

HBOS needs votes from shareholders representing 75 per cent of shares for the capital raising and the acquisition – although for the takeover it must also win support from a simple majority of shareholders as well.

Lloyds TSB shareholders backed the proposed takeover by an overwhelming majority in Glasgow last month, as well its own plans to raise £5.5billion in ordinary shares and preference shares.

Royal Bank of Scotland is now 58 per cent state-owned after its shareholders also approved a £20billion capital injection in November.

Tons of rotting animal carcasses and rotting meat were dumped twice along a busy roadside within 48 hours.

A crew from Ward End Fire were called to Washwood Heath Road on New Year’s Eve and again on Wednesday, after piles of rubbish and raw meat had been set on alight.

The fire fighters tweeted four pictures showing disgusting charred animal carcasses, pink fleshy meat and offal mixed in with black bin bags, cardboard boxes, mattresses and other rubbish all piled up against a graffiti covered fence.

Both fire were reported to Birmingham City Council’s Environmental Heath Department who said they were aware of the complaints.

A spokesman from West Midlands Fire said they were first called at 10.30am on New Year’s Eve to Washwood Heath Road near shops at Saltley Gate.

He said: “We sent a brigade response vehicle with three fire fighters on it. This incident involved the burning of a large quantity of waste - a mixture of wood, furniture and meat remains.

“We were able to deal with the incident using a hose reel.”

A fire crew was then sent back to a fire involving three tons of rubbish which included animal carcasses on Washwood Heath Road , opposite the Gulf Petrol Station, at 3pm on Jan 2.

Ward End Fire tweeted: “Well what can we say!

“White watch got called to a fire & are confronted with masses of fly tipped raw meat & rubbish dumped at the side and rear of a shop!

“This is a gold mine for pests that nobody wants! Please report these actions to the council! ”

The pictures caused revulsion on social media.

Pam Lees said: “Absolutely disgusting. I bet the smell was horrendous.”

Firefuture tweeted: “That’s shocking! Let’s hope councils have resources to sort it !”

While Javed Iqbal, from Alum Rock Community Forum, wrote: “Absolutely disgusting. Vile. Beyond Belief.”

For most people are West Brom , Wednesday night’s FA Cup defeat to Brighton was a forgettable occasion.

Leading 1-0 with eight minutes to go Baggies eventually ended up losing 3-1 in extra-time in front of less than 9,000 supporters.

Yet for Morgan Rogers the Fourth Round replay will forever be remembered as the day he made his Baggies debut - and the perfect way to finish what started out as a fairly routine day.

The 16-year-old came on for Wes Hoolahan eight minutes from time to make the latest step in a meteoric rise.

But for most of it Wednesday looked like being like any other day as Darren Moore revealed: “Believe it or not he was at school today until 3.15pm, he’s come straight from school and joined up with the squad.

“It’s a wonderful story for him and his family and the academy. It’s a proud night for us tonight to see one so young make his debut amongst men.

Watch: Fan reaction to cup exit

Video Loading

“It was yesterday I felt he would be part of the squad. Earlier today, we decided to say no, he was going to be involved.

“In the game I thought ‘Why not, let’s bring him on now. Hopefully he’ll grow into the game’.

“The boy had a difficult chance, it came over his head, he might be disappointed, but it was hard for him to adjust his feet. Had he scored, the roof would have come off tonight.”

More Albion

Darren Moore claimed momentum swung Brighton’s way when West Brom lost Hal Robson-Kanu.

The Baggies had already made all their substitutions when the striker was forced off the pitch in the 99th minute.

The home side, featuring several youngsters including a debut for 16-year-old Morgan Rogers, had held their own until that point and were level at 1-1.

However, Seagulls’ sub Glenn Murray scored within five minutes of Robson-Kanu going off - and made it 3-1 in the closing minutes.

And Moore felt the extra man was the difference: “It is a disappointing result but I have to be pleased with the performance,” he told the BBC.

“The younger ones who came in showed that they have grown in stature tonight.

“It looked like we were going to win it. We scored so late in the game but it only takes a second to score a goal.

“The turning point in the game was losing Hal Robson-Kanu to injury as extra time was a bridge too far for us with 10 men.

“Chris Hughton was able to bring on some top players. They are a good team and they made the extra man count.”

As for ex-Newcastle boss Hughton, he was pleased with Murray’s cameo.

“We are delighted to make it through but we made hard work of it. We got into good positions but found ourselves 1-0 down and it felt like it was going to be one of those days.

“You need a goal to get back in it and then the tie turned a bit and we showed our quality. I knew we would push right to the end but we had ample opportunities before that.”

“He [Glenn] came on and wanted to make an impact in the game and that’s what happened.

“We need to spread the goals around a bit more but if you said would I rather have someone in form and scoring goals then of course I would.”

MALCOLM Stent is back in action for his 18th panto at Solihull – and boy does he have his hands full.

As well as writing, directing and starring in Jack and the Beanstalk, his teacher son, Tim, is getting married in the middle of the 51-show run!

Tim, 32, will marry Solihull girl Emily Morris on December 23, when every hymn will be a Christmas carol.

The big date means that although there will be no panto on that day, Malc will have to be up bright and early on Christmas Eve to play Simple Simon.

“I’ll have to be back at the theatre for 9am on December 24 ready for the 10.30am morning show,” says Malc.

“And, because were missing December 23, we’re doing three shows on Saturday the 20th and 27th.

“I’ve only done three shows in a day once before and it’s a real killer. But Tim wanted to get married then so what can you do? I’m just lucky that we’ve been able to not do any shows that day.

“My daughter, Becky, is also coming over from New Zealand and none of them are going to get away easily – they’re all coming to the panto on Boxing Day!”

Malc’s other big happy family is his panto team. Regulars Dave Sealey (captain of the palace guard) and Robin Johnson (Fleschcreep) are back, but many of the rest of the cast will be newcomers to the brilliantly-proportioned Solihull Arts Complex.

“Mums and dads might also like to know that there’s nothing that would scare the kids,” he says. “There’s no giant as such – we have a big hand, a big eye and a deep booming voice but nothing to actually scare them!”

Luckily for Malc, he saw the recession coming. In fact, he’s been doing pantos for so long at Solihull this is his second recession, not forgetting how keen he was to try to keep prices low when Rover shut down.

Back in February a decision was taken to freeze this year’s prices at last year’s level and, when he was writing the script back in May, he put in lots of financial references.

“Dame Trott receives a letter and she thinks it’s about winning the lottery. Then she opens it and realises it’s from the building society about her negative equity. There’s going to be the odd gag about Woolies,” says Malc.

“Even before the end of November our ticket sales were up to about 75-80 per cent which shows what good value we offer and that people still want to come out to be entertained.

“I think we’re going to officially call it ‘The recession-busting panto!’’

Full cast: Malcolm Stent (Simple Simon); Claire Trusson (Jack Trott); Rebecca Noble (Princess Apricot); Dave Sealey (Captain Pollock); Oliver Hume (Dame Trott); Lorraine O’Leary (Fairy O’Blimey); Robin Johnson (Fleshcreep); Phil Hemmings (King Crumble); Rachael Brownsword (Molly The Milkmaid). The dancers/understudies are: Gemma Nichole, Carly Spooner, Claire Micallef, Hayley Ann Clarke, Yuri Sewell, Michael Joseph and Ian Oakland is the voice of the Giant.

Blockchain Investor Analysis

Current Price $0.41 (+2.78%)
0x is a decentralized exchange protocol built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. The ZRX token is required to build decentralized trading layers on the 0x protocol.

Our Rating:

Problem that it solves

The 0x is a protocol for the decentralized trading of tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. It's a free, open-source infrastructure that anyone can use to build user-facing decentralized exchange apps.

0x incentivizes third parties to create channels called 'relayers' so that they can build on top of 0x, offering their own order books and user interfaces while conducting trades using the 0x smart contracts. The 'customers' in this case consist of 'Relayers' and 'Takers.' 0x charges relayers certain fees to use their smart contracts, so the target audience from a business perspective is other independent companies like Radar Relay and Paradex.

Value creation

Decentralized exchanges have become commonplace in the blockchain industry due to the mistrust associated with their centralized counterparts. The inherent value of using a decentralized exchange comes in the form of safety, security, and privacy. The relayers give takers a multitude of trade options while also providing the decentralized aspect that everyone covets.

Market structure

The 0x protocol will serve an emerging market in the DEX space. Centralized exchanges like Binance and Coinbase currently dominate the market, but users will happily migrate to a more decentralized platform if they can receive the same functionality and ease of use.

Market size

The market for DEX has been steadily growing over the last few years as the community continues to see the constant issues that plague centralized exchanges. Having said that, the exchange behemoths running the world, namely Coinbase and Binance, still hold the majority of the market.

Regulatory risks

As a utility token on a decentralized trading protocol, ZRX faces less regulatory risk than many other digital assets. However, its use in financial trading may attract regulatory scrutiny in the future.

Average Market Score

Average the six scores above

Competitive Advantage

Technology/blockchain platform

The ZRX token runs on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. All other tokens traded on the 0x platform must also be ERC-20.

Lead time advantage

Will Warren and Amir Bandeali founded 0x in 2016, giving them an incredible lead time advantage in the DEX space. They've managed to separate themselves from the competition with their quick start and unique features such as relayers and off-chain order books. The off-chain feature means that congestion on the Ethereum network will not prevent orders from being completed.

Contacts and networks

0x has a niche method of connecting with major players in the industry, and it starts with their 'relayering' protocol. 0x has to attract projects to its platform so that developers will build upon their protocol and expand the number of channels offered to takers.

Average Competitive Advantage Score

Average the three scores above

Management Team

Entrepreneurial Team

The 0x team consists of a small (only six core members), young group of engineers who have made a significant impact on the blockchain industry thus far. The majority of news pieces or articles about 0x praises the team for their fundraising efforts as they have received money from many different groups.

Industry/technical experience

The 0x team has been running their project for a several years now, so its team has met the 10,000 hours experience milestone.

0x has yet to give investors a reason not to trust its team of engineers.

Average Management Team Score

Average the three scores above

Token Mechanics

Token required

The most common knock on the 0x protocol is that its token, ZRX, does nothing more than serve as a unit for DApp fees and acts as a form of decentralized governance via voting. ZRX allows users to vote on future changes to the 0x protocol, which remains a critical feature if 0x plans to maintain a truly decentralized exchange.

Value added

The token adds most of its value via the voting rights, but its overall utility is limited to the settlement of relayer fees.

0x is one of the more decentralized protocols in the market.

Token supply

ZRX has a total supply of 1 billion with approximately 652 million in circulation.

Public exchange

The team at 0x has done an excellent job promoting and listing their token on a number of exchanges including Binance, Binance.US, Bittrex, Coinbase, Coinbase UK, Ethfinex,, and Poloniex.

0x was co-founded by Will Warren and Amir Bandeali in October 2016. The alpha version of 0x has been live on 0x’s private test network since January 2017. The 0x v3 went live on the Ethereum mainnet in December 2019.

Average Token Mechanics Score

Average the six scores above

User Adoption

Technical difficulty

The 0x protocol goes beyond the 'exchange' title, consisting of multiple layers of decentralized apps all running on the Ethereum blockchain. Even experienced members of the blockchain community would require a few explanations on the details of the platform to fully grasp its technicals.

Halo Effect

0x does not list any specific partnerships of note, but they successfully collaborated with Coinbase and were listed on the exchange in late 2018.

The 0x protocol has remained a hot topic since its inception as the company looks to lead the charge for decentralized exchanges. Crypto media depicts the project as one of the first movers in this space. Its social media buzz however, has calmed down lately.

Average User Adoption Score

Average the three scores above

Overall Score

Weighted Average of the five section scores above

Blockchain Investor Analysis

The secret sauce of 0x rests in its "relayer" protocol and off-chain integration features. ZRX is a significant feature within the ecosystem, but it's not integrated in a manner that would cause a significant jump in value should the 0x exchange protocol become incredibly popular.

Though I won't pick favorites (in most cases), I will suggest a nifty site I've visited in each.

Last week's installment of Alabama through Missouri is attached to this article. This week, part two of the list: Montana through Wyoming.

• Here’s a secret: The glaciers of Glacier National Park in Montana aren’t impressive. And they’re shrinking. But the park’s magnificent, majestic mountain scenery makes up for any glacial disappointments. And the park lodges are cozy, comfy and nearly as pretty as their surroundings. (nps.gov/glac)

• Lincoln, Nebraska, is more than just Cornhusker football. It’s also ancient elephants. Elephant Hall, at the University of Nebraska State Museum, has a world-famous collection of fossilized pachyderms, including one of the largest mammoth skeletons in the world. It’s like Barnum & Bailey meets Indiana Jones. (museum.unl.edu)

• Travelers who enjoy solo trips won’t get much more solo than a journey down the “Loneliest Road,” U.S. Highway 50 from Carson City to Baker, Nevada. The nearly 300-mile journey takes drivers through empty but scenic desert landscapes punctuated by small, fascinating and amiable towns. You might even make a friend. (ponyexpressnevadakiosk.com/survival-guide/)

• New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, the highest peak in New England, offers magnificent panoramic views. And the trip up the mountain really is half the fun when you ride the historic Cog Railway. Part train, part (very slow) roller-coaster, the railway will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2019. (thecog.com)

• Delaware Water Gap is a 67,000-acre National Recreation Area in New Jersey (and Pennsylvania) along 40 miles of the scenic Delaware River. The area offers more than 100 miles of hiking trails, including a 27-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail. The region is also filled with pretty and historic river towns. (nps.gov/dewa/)

• Glistening snow-white dunes of gypsum make White Sands, New Mexico, a unique natural wonder. You can hike, take a tour or even buy a sled to zip down your own private dune. (nps.gov/whsa)

• Visit here if you visit anywhere. New York (City), New York, is quite simply the world’s greatest city (although Peoria or Akron might have something to say about that). What to do? Almost anything that strikes your fancy. Just go and explore. After all, you’re king of the hill, top of the heap. (nycgo.com)

• Everyone has an opinion about the country's best barbecue, but if it isn’t North Carolina, it's wrong. The Tarheel State’s Barbecue Trail takes hungry visitors to some of the state’s most iconic barbecue joints. There are two different styles of N.C. 'cue: Eastern and Lexington. Choosing between those will require more research, though. (visitnc.com/story/cradle-of-cue)

• Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota is home to vast colorful badlands, herds of wild bison and at least one rattlesnake that nearly chased me off a bluff above the Little Missouri River. So step carefully. (nps.gov/thro/)

• The only “skyscraper” ever built by Frank Lloyd Wright is located in the unlikely town of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The 19-story Price Tower office building was completed in 1955. Today it houses a museum and art gallery, a boutique hotel and a charming restaurant and bar with magnificent 15th-floor views of the surrounding prairie. (pricetower.org)

• The historic, century-old Columbia River Highway in Oregon was America’s first designated scenic highway. The road through the Columbia River Gorge has been supplanted by Interstate 84, but stretches of the old highway remain open to cars or, in a few places, as a biking and hiking trail, with magnificent views and interesting river-town stops. (columbiariverhighway.com)

• With the darkest skies in the eastern United States, Cherry Springs State Park near Coudersport, Pennsylvania, caters to amateur astronomers and guests who just like to look at the stars. Visitors to the park’s public sky-watching programs can look through park telescopes or bring their own. (cherryspringsstatepark.com)

• Historic and scenic Block Island, Rhode Island, is just a short ferry ride from the mainland but feels like a world away. The island has galleries, restaurants and beaches both crowded and isolated.  (blockislandinfo.com)

• For many years, the lovely waterfall on the Reedy River in downtown Greenville, South Carolina, was obscured by a bridge. But when the bridge came down and Falls Park was established in 2004, the historic downtown woke up and today is a delightful neighborhood to explore for a weekend or more. (greenvillesc.gov)

• Belle Fourche, South Dakota, claims to be the geographical center of the U.S., with a visitors’ center and impressive granite monument to mark the spot. But don't be fooled, you geographical sticklers. The real center point is in a field about 20 miles northwest of town. There, dogged travelers will find a small American flag, a brass survey marker — and the truth. (bellefourchechamber.org/gcon/)

• “Walking in Memphis, walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale.” Yeah, Beale Street, the “Home of the Blues,” in Memphis, Tennessee, has a vibe and scene that can’t quite be matched anywhere else. And maybe you’ll see Elvis. (www.bealestreet.com)

• Everybody remembers the Alamo. But the site of the famous battle for Texas independence is just one of five 18th-century Spanish frontier missions in San Antonio. The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park now comprises the other four restored historic sites, which also still serve as Catholic parish churches. (www.nps.gov/saan/)

• Dry, dusty southwestern Utah was once covered by a vast ocean. And fascinating evidence of the state’s watery past remains here for the digging, at the appropriately named U-Dig Fossils about 50 miles in the direction of nowhere from the town of Delta. Visitors are sure to find enough trilobites, the primary denizens of the site's rich shale beds, to be choosy about what they lug home. (u-digfossils.com)

• The Fairbanks Museum and the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, are venerable — some would say old-fashioned — institutions. The natural history museum and the library/art gallery, both constructed in the late 19th century, have been lovingly conserved and updated. But they're still reminiscent of 19th-century curiosity cabinets, like museums about museums. (fairbanksmuseum.org; stjathenaeum.org)

• Of course you'll visit Chincoteague, Virginia, for the wild horses. But the home of the fictional "Misty of Chincoteague" is also a small, laid-back ocean town that offers plenty of amenities but has avoided the worst aspects of development. (chincoteague.com)

• Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Washington was one of the engineering wonders of the world when completed in 1941. Visitors can tour the dam, the largest concrete structure in the United States, and learn more about the structure, its history and surrounding communities at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation visitors center. (www.usbr.gov/pn/grandcoulee/index.html)

• The Gauley and New rivers in West Virginia offer thrilling white-water rafting adventures for experienced and newbie rafters alike. Outfitters near the town of Oak Hill arrange guided trips and can provide all the gear. (gotowv.com/adventure-play/whitewater-lake/whitewater-rafting/)

• If calm-water kayaking is more your style, Wisconsin offers the magnificently scenic Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, with 21 islands and 12 miles of mainland along Lake Superior to explore. The lovely little lake town of Bayfield is site of the park headquarters and is well worth exploring itself. (nps.gov/apis)

• At first sight of Devils Tower, fans of the movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” will undoubtedly think of mashed potatoes. Aliens aside, the mesmerizing, otherworldly geological oddity (and national monument) thrusting up from the plains near Hulett, Wyoming, will certainly engage your imagination — at least through dinner. (nps.gov/deto/)

Astute readers will have noticed one state out of order, but I saved the best for last: My favorite place in the world is in my home state of Ohio along the banks of the Little Darby Creek National Scenic River, where a hammock hangs between two towering oak trees — just outside my own backdoor.

Sorry: There's only room for one.

But there are hundreds of other great Buckeye State destinations you can visit. (www.ohio.org)
