Arthur Samuel Allen (1894-1959), army officer and accountant, was born on 10 March 1894 at Hurstville, Sydney, fifth child of John Allen, a native-born engine driver, and his English wife Annie, née Hadfield. Educated at Hurstville Superior Public School, Arthur worked as an audit clerk in the New South Wales Government Railways. He served in the cadets and in the 39th Battalion, Australian Military Forces; commissioned in September 1913, he transferred to the 38th Battalion. On 24 June 1915 he was appointed to the Australian Imperial Force and in August embarked for Egypt with reinforcements for the 13th Battalion. In March 1916 he became a platoon commander and was promoted captain in the newly-formed 45th Battalion.
Arriving in France on 8 June, Allen survived the terrible German artillery barrage at Pozières in August and endured the severe winter of 1916-17 on the Somme. In the battle of Messines, Belgium, from 7 to 11 June 1917, he led repeated bombing attacks on enemy trenches, capturing 120 prisoners and two machine-guns. So intense was the fighting that the battalion lost 16 officers and 552 soldiers; for much of the time it was organized as one company with Allen as its front-line commander. For his deeds, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Promoted major in July, he commanded the 45th during the fighting at Dernancourt, France, in April 1918. Next month, as temporary lieutenant colonel, he had charge of the 48th Battalion in the costly attempt to seize Monument Wood, near Villers-Bretonneux. From June to October he attended the senior officers' course at Aldershot, England. On 20 November he was promoted substantive lieutenant colonel and, at the age of 24, given command of the 13th Battalion. A buoyant leader, he was mentioned in dispatches and awarded the French Croix de Guerre for his service on the Western Front.
Although Allen's A.I.F. appointment terminated in Australia on 10 November 1919, he remained active in the Militia. On 7 December 1921 at Rollands Plains, New South Wales, he married Agnes Mona Blair Mackay with Presbyterian forms. Establishing himself as an accountant, he became a partner in the firm of Truman Harrison & Co., Sydney, and a fellow (1932) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia. Allen successively commanded the 13th, 41st, 18th and 36th battalions until 1933 when he was promoted colonel and took charge of the 14th Brigade. On 1 May 1938 he was made brigadier and in October 1939 chosen to command the 16th Brigade, 6th Division, A.I.F. He was blunt, honest, 'choleric yet kindly', and 'completely without affectation or pomposity'. His military lore stemmed from experience rather than study, and 'was based on a wide and sympathetic knowledge of men in battle'. Short, thickset and powerfully built, he was affectionately known as 'Tubby'.
Having sailed in the first Australian-New Zealand convoy to the Middle East, on 13 February 1940 Allen and his staff proceeded to Palestine to establish the nucleus of a divisional headquarters. He forged good relations with British troops, government officials and the local community, and ensured the comfort of future A.I.F. contingents by improving camps, services and amenities; for his efforts, he was appointed C.B.E. in 1941. During the British advance into Libya the 16th Brigade breached the Italian defences at Bardia (3-5 January) and Tobruk (21-22 January). Allen's organization, enthusiasm and attention to detail contributed to the defeat of the enemy in both engagements, and he was to be appointed C.B. later that year.
He left on 18 March 1941 for Greece. There he was confronted by a powerful German army which had the crucial advantage of air superiority. The Anzac Corps fought a series of rearguard actions, enabling each part of the force to withdraw in ordered sequence. At the Piniós Gorge on 17 April, Allen coolly held his ground until the pre-arranged time to fall back; he called it 'a fantastic battle'. He embarked with his troops from the port of Kalámai (Kalamáta) on 27 April and was awarded the Greek Military Cross for his part in the campaign.
On 18 June Allen took command of the 7th Division, then engaged against Vichy-French forces in Syria; his temporary promotion to major general was to be made permanent in August. Following the defeat of the French in July, he spent the next five months preparing the Tripoli fortress for a possible German attack. Mentioned in dispatches, he returned to Australia in March 1942.
Allen arrived in Port Moresby, Papua, on 13 August to take charge of operations against Japanese units advancing over the Owen Stanley Range. His division halted the Japanese at Ioribaiwa and moved on the offensive, but harsh terrain and logistical problems impeded progress. From 11 October Allen became the target of galling messages from General Douglas MacArthur and General Sir Thomas Blamey, criticizing the slowness of the advance. The complaints were based on ignorance of the conditions and were not justified. Though his forces broke through at Eora Creek on 28 October, throwing open the mountain paths to Kokoda, Allen was relieved of his command next day. He later served in appointments of lesser operational importance in Port Moresby and the Northern Territory.
At a subsequent interview with Allen, MacArthur expressed real or feigned surprise that his messages had distressed him, and claimed to have nothing but praise for Allen and his troops, whom he had merely been urging to greater efforts. Allen replied: 'Well, that's not the way to urge Australians'. He was further vindicated in October 1944 when Blamey recommended that he be appointed K.B.E. Allen was transferred to the Reserve of Officers on 30 April 1945. He possessed experience of front-line warfare rare among generals in any army. A knighthood, which would have been automatic in World War I, did not eventuate.
After the war he became senior partner in the firm of A. S. Allen & Co., chartered accountants of Sydney. His recreations were golf and bowls. Survived by his wife and two sons, he died of hypertensive cerebrovascular disease on 25 January 1959 at Concord; following a military funeral, he was cremated. Allen's portrait by (Sir) William Dargie is in the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.

The annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) is an insect that can get very ‘angry’: insecticide resistant that is. Surveys have indicated that resistance in this insect is wide spread. Dealing with insecticide resistant ABW can quickly become a nightmare. The best thing to do, if you still can, is to not get the weevils ‘angry’ in the first place. Once they are resistant, there may be no feasible way of getting them susceptible again. There are no silver bullets out there and none in development.
I estimate that any golf course that has tried to intensively control ABW for at least 5 years will have some level of insecticide resistance. With intensively I mean multiple applications per year over large proportions of the golf course. Resistance tends to sneak up on people. First there are some small problems here and there that will be excused by ‘missing spots’, ‘timing off’, ‘poor weather conditions’, etc. Unfortunately, the typical reaction is to ratchet up the spraying activity.
Seeing a lot adult ABW all over an area just days after an adulticide application should be an eye opener. Unfortunately, at this point the ABW should be already pretty resistant. You can see a simplified model of how resistance develops in the ABW presentation on my Rutgers Entomology webpage.
Is getting insecticide resistant ABW while trying to keep your job an inevitable crux? Absolutely not. I know of several golf courses that have had ABW for many years (up to 30!) and still consider them more of a nuisance then a huge problem. Such courses generally have practices all along what I preaching these days (see below).
Insecticide resistance is caused on a course-by-course base by excessive insecticide use in time and space and poor insecticide resistance management. A low proportion (under 1%) of individuals in any given population naturally have mutations in genes that allow them to better tolerate insecticide exposure. When insecticides are applied, these individuals have a better chance to survive than the rest of the population. Hence, they will have an increased impact on the genetic makeup of following generations. The more often insecticides are applied and the greater the proportion of the total population that is exposed, the faster will significant resistance develops.
The primary mechanism involved in ABW insecticide resistance seems to be increased enzymatic detoxification. Like most higher organisms, ABW naturally have whole families of genes that code for detoxifying enzymes. In resistant individuals, the number of copies of such genes can be increased and/or the genes are more turned on. Either way resistant individuals produce higher concentrations of detoxifying enzymes that break down active ingredient more effectively.
Unfortunately, enzymatic detoxification is not very specific; therefore, the efficacy of most presently available active ingredients can be reduced in resistant populations. Even presently still effective active ingredients can lose efficacy if overused.
Based on our lab tests, by far the greatest resistance to date can be observed against pyrethroids. In the most resistant populations more than 300x as much active ingredient had to be applied to the adults to cause 50% mortality for both Talstar and Scimitar. For chlorpyrifos, the present go-to alternative as an adulticide, the highest tolerance levels observed was 16x. But chlorpyrifos has not been used as much over the last 10+ years. Hence, resistance to chlorpyrifos is likely to worsen if it is overused.
3) Risk assessment based on the percentage of Poa annua in the various areas.
Research by our lab and others clearly shows that Poa annua is much more susceptible to ABW damage then creeping bentgrasses. Therefore, the thing that in the long run makes the most sense is to reduce Poa annua as much as possible, wherever possible. This would reduce the need for insecticide applications and with that the selection for resistance.
More on Poa vs. bentgrass and ABW to follow.

If we are to render our theory useful for judging bicultural people's selfidentities and in understanding the process through which those identities evolve, we need to establish a way to assess the status of the three life-condition variables and the four additional process variables.
nonfamily members of his father's culture (Cultural Group B) are more consistent in their treatment of him than are nonfamily members of his mother's culture (Cultural Group A), some of whom treat him well, some moderately well, and some rather badly.
We can create similar scales for displaying the additional variables: (a) the bicultural person's interpretation of how life conditions affect her or his welfare, (b) the individual's behavior as influenced by self-identity, (c) other people's reactions to such behavior, and (d) the individual's interpretation of such reactions.
Finally, the task of rendering our operation by creating specific techniques for evaluating the variables and their interactions and applying those techniques to bicultural people's self-identity is a daunting assignment that we won't attempt here. Instead, we will simply note that a thesis or dissertation may either involve performing only the first three steps of the theory development process or consist of all five steps. The latter option is obviously the more difficult, but it produces more useful knowledge.

It had rained all night, but morale hadn’t bottomed when we arrived at the trailhead around 6:30 AM. The rain had stopped and the clouds were parting, but within seconds of stepping out of the rental car, the sky unloaded a burst of wind and heavy rain. We hopped back into the car to wait it out. Morale was low. From all of the reports I had read over the prior months, I knew we had 11 miles of steep, narrow, hot and slippery trail ahead with sufficient opportunities to die.
The first couple of miles of trail required a mix of climbing slippery rocks and descending even slicker red dirt. Combined with rain, the clay-like red dirt packed like an ice rink, and we planted our trekking poles firmly every step. There was a High Surf Advisory for the Na Pali coast and looking back, the foreboding rumbling of the waves against the cliffs now seems prophetically earthquake-like.
We arrived at the first river crossing unscathed, but worried that the wet conditions might prevent us from safely completing the trip. At its highest, the crossing was about waist deep, but safe enough. Here we met our first human who was on her way out of the valley. Our primary concern was an infamous section of trail called “The Cliffs”, “Crawlers Ledge”, or just “The Scary Section.” Our fellow hiker had passed through this area the day before and didn’t warn us of any dangers ahead. Her optimism massaged the knot in my stomach.
The next human we met had crossed “The Scary Section” just a few hours before and warned that the rain had made it pretty slippery. I asked whether he thought it was a bad idea to attempt. He replied enigmatically, “if you’re afraid of heights, I wouldn’t try it.” Unsure of whether we are in fact afraid of heights or not, we decided to continue, especially after he mentioned the delicious passion-fruit, guavas, oranges and lemons in the valley. We nervously kept on hiking.
For more context on the scary section, I had watched every YouTube video and read every blog post about this section of trail to determine the danger in attempting this. Many quivering legged people have turned back at this point in the trail due to rain or exhaustion. Others have turned back due to the overwhelming aesthetics of this narrow stretch of trail, etched into the side of a deadly cliff. The ocean below seemed hungry for a human. And yet, while there have been injuries on this section, there don’t seem to be any reports of deaths.
We spotted our first naked human at the Hanakoa river. As soon as she saw us, she ran off into the jungle. Over the course of this trip we observed four general categories of people: day hikers, short term visitors with permits, part-time residents and full-time residents. There were very few full-time residents; people who have chosen to permanently live off the grid and in the valleys along the Kalalau trail. There were quite a few part-time residents who had set up camps and appeared to have enough to live off of for at least a few weeks. Some were friendly while others seemed really stoned or just reclusive.
By the time we reached six miles, the sun had come out and the trail was beginning to dry. We passed a few more people who had successfully crossed the cliffs and while they warned that some portions of the trail had been washed out, overall, they reported, it wasn’t too bad. Quite suddenly we looked down and realized we were just above the infamous cliffs. It was scary. The trail led almost indiscernibly into the rock. We could see a few sections where it had been partially washed out. It did not look safe. We took a break and read a Psalm which reminded us that these cliffs, this ocean, and our steps are all subject to deeper authority. We continued and met a group of three, with one member who was really struggling with a terrible fear of heights. Seeing someone else even more afraid than us encouraged us and gave us new confidence. We spent some time trying to figure out a way to help, but in the end I think they had to turn back. We crossed the cliffs with no problems and enormous relief. In hindsight, while this section of trail is dangerous, it’s no more dangerous than many other sections of the trail. The main difference is that you can more clearly see where you could fall to your death because there are no plants or trees to obscure the view below.
The scenery grew more spectacular at every turn for the next few hours until we arrived at Kalalau beach.
We relaxed on the beach for a few hours and ate dinner, but the long hike in had consumed our energy. Kalalau Beach is remote and sheltered by 4000 foot cliffs so as soon as the sun went down, the stars popped out brilliantly. At the time it would have seemed an unimportant detail, but the nearest land facing the beach is Japan.
Sometime in the middle of the night we awoke to the sound of a helicopter flying low and someone talking on the PA system. At first we thought an offshore boat was in trouble, but as the helicopter circled the beach and bright lights flickered across our tent, we listened more closely. The message was repeated and it sounded like “put the camp fire out”. Still half asleep we weren’t thinking clearly. After the helicopter circled three or four times, I realized the message might actually be “get to higher ground” so I stumbled out of the tent with my headlamp on. The helicopter landed and within a few seconds the co-pilot appeared clutching his helmet. With no wasted words he explained that a tsunami was coming and we needed to get to higher ground. I asked, “when is the tsunami expected?” The co-pilot replied, 3 AM. “What time is it now?” “12 AM”, he said. “That means we’ve got time to pack our things, right?” “I wouldn’t, I’d get out of here right now”, he said. Followed by, “it’s really tough flying right now, I’ve gotta go.” In my confusion I asked him if we could get a ride out to which he refused.
Panic set in. We grabbed a few things and threw our shoes on. I couldn’t believe it, but my shoes didn’t fit. It was as if my feet had grown 3 sizes. Then I realized my insoles had been drying and I had put them in backwards. Our camp was backed by a cliff so we grabbed a few things and took off running toward the valley. As we passed other tents or saw headlamps, we stopped to warn those campers. By the end of the beach we had a group of six, although we had seen at least 10 other campers earlier that day. We just hoped that they had understood the message.
Of course none of us knew how high we needed to get or how high we actually were in the dark night. Luckily we came across two Kalalau residents who guided us to a higher location about half a mile into the valley. One member in our newly formed group had a satellite phone so over the course of the next few hours we picked up some vague information about a large earthquake in Japan and a tsunami heading straight for us. It seemed like we were safe from the waves, but our gear and our rental cars would surely be lost. We were grateful for the helicopter’s warning.
Around a campfire, the Kalalau residents in our group gave us a great introduction to the valley and how they had ended up there. I guess a 500 mph wave travelling toward you is one way to build a quick bond between strangers. During the night we heard a few loud waves, but the seas had been rough all day so it was difficult to tell whether the tsunami had hit. There was also the chance of follow up waves due to aftershocks so we waited until first light.
As we hiked toward the beach I scanned the ocean for our gear. To our surprise, the waves hadn’t even reached the bluff. For some reason the tsunami hit Kauai very lightly. It was almost a letdown after living the previous 7 hours under the impression we had survived a series of apocalyptic waves. Exhausted, we crawled back into our tent for a nap.
During the night’s conversation, we had learned that the water in the valley was safe to drink untreated so we filled bottles and set out to find fruit in the valley. The valley trail is about 2 miles long, but we quickly lost it on various side trails. Throughout the year there are various fruits, vegetables and herbs, but we looked pretty hard and only found a few oranges, limes, tomatoes and small mangos. While we didn’t find much to eat, the beautiful river pools and lush jungle offer countless opportunities for future exploration.
That evening our resident benefactors and fellow tsunami survivors treated us to a dutch-oven-baked, macaroni and cheese casserole, with garlic, onions, tuna and fresh herbs from the valley. They took pride in offering this delicious meal and we were honored.
All 6 of our survivor party were on the trail just after 7. Once again we dreaded the cliffs as the trail was wet from rain the night before. By the time we arrived at the cliffs, the sun had begun to dry them up and we crossed safely. The rivers had receded somewhat and we were able to rock hop across them all without getting wet.
Incoming hikers offered dismal anecdotes of the destruction in Japan and the far reaching effects on California, Oregon and Washington and other Hawaiian islands. It seemed we had been uniquely spared. The further we hiked, the more intense the reports of carnage.
This was a strange way to see Kalalau for the first time, but it was fascinating to see how this particular micro world responds to a world catastrophe. We had to move to higher ground and then we took a nap. I think maybe it’s this kind of disconnect from society that some find so appealing in Kalalau.

There is $1.4 trillion USD in managed travel and most of that is sourced by our members and the companies they represent. Size alone is not what makes the business travel industry so complex, there are many nuances when it comes to sourcing travel. It can be a daunting task to navigate each category within business travel and to ensure the travel buyer is seeking the correct information in a standard, easy to process format.
The complexities of the business travel industry and the many levels of data points necessary to perform a thorough sourcing and evaluation of suppliers in this space, make these tools and templates invaluable. The resources include templates for airline, car rental, hotel as well as travel management sourcing and travel safety toolkits. Be sure to put these tools into action as you build a better managed travel program.
Access the industry standard for Hotel rate sourcing. The Hotel RFP and supporting materials takes organizations through an extremely complex process.
Due to the evolution of ancillary services, fuel surcharges, distribution fees and more, travel buyers need the Airline RFP toolkit.
Up until 2016, there was not a standard for sourcing Car Rental. Be sure to use the Car Rental RFP to ensure you are soliciting the correct information from car rental providers.
This toolkit will prepare and take you through the journey of developing a strategy and plan for your travel program and the role the TMC will play in executing that plan.
This toolkit will help you in evaluating your existing program and guide you to resources that will provide building blocks for a successful travel safety program.
This RFP includes updated travel risk management requirements such as active monitoring, mobile capabilities, training, and data integration.
If an organization determines that it wishes to acquire external resources to support its Strategic Meetings Management (SMM) Program, it may begin by identifying vendors with the skill set required to meet its strategic meeting management needs. This document outlines the topics and questions that an organization may wish to include in an RFI and in an RFP.

The secrecy surrounding the Government’s plans to let private funders invest in mental health services only increases suspicions that the proposal has been ill-thought through, Labour’s Health spokesperson Annette Kings says.
“The process with which New Zealanders have learned the Government is about to implement its social bond experiment could hardly have been less transparent.
“It was only after Labour and some media started asking questions that Health Minister Jonathan Coleman begrudgingly released any information about the scheme and even that has been like wringing blood from a stone.
“He has refused to release reports, extended response deadlines to Official Information Act requests and mislead the public on advice he’s received.
“Take for instance the spin he put on a report prepared for Internal Affairs, quoting that ‘[social bonds] are an exciting financial instrument with the potential to revitalise social policy delivery and inject private sector funding and innovation into the sector’.
“What he didn’t quote was that the sentence began with ‘In theory’ and the ensuing sentence read: ‘At this stage of their development their attraction to investors, even with government subsidy and assistance, is dependent on socially-motivated investors’.
“The report went on to say that ‘significant issues must first be addressed before even a trial is viable in New Zealand’ and that SIBs in the short term were likely to be overtaken by another ‘financial instrument’.
“It advised that New Zealand not engage in trials or implementation of a SIB issue.
“The Government appears hell-bent on introducing a hare-brained, half-baked scheme which has had little success anywhere else in the world, and which in some cases has led to investors calling for tax breaks.
"There is no reliable evidence this experiment will work and no reason why NGOs who are now doing the work cannot be directly contracted to provide the same social outcomes,” Annette King says.

Discussion in 'Coldplay Live' started by Mug Costanza, Aug 3, 2008.
Hey all. I'm seeing Coldplay on Monday in Boston, and I just had a quick question regarding the stage effects they may or may not use.
I am a migraine sufferer. One thing that can trigger a migraine for me is strobe lighting. In fact, I got a migraine after just watching Muse's "H.A.A.R.P." DVD because of all the strobe lights they used during "Stockholm Syndrome".
My question to those of who you have seen Coldplay so far on this tour is, do they use strobe lights in their show? I''m bringing my medicine regardless just in case, but I'd strongly prefer not to have my night ruined with a migraine.
I suffer from pretty crazy migraines (triggered by far too many things), aswell, and had the same fear you did before going to the show (as I do with every concert). I'm not positive if they used strobe lights (it think, yes... just not really up on my lighting terms, lol), however I was in the sixth row and I was perfectly fine, and able to enjoy the show! I just tried to focus all of my attention on the band, and not the lighting. Hopefully you have a similar, migraine-free experience Definitely take your meds with you just incase, and maybe take something not too strong before hand so you're not worrying so much about the "what if".
hi - yes they used strobes lights on a few songs.. one that comes to mind was Politik (that one was quite intense in lighting in general). You can always see some of the videos on youtube (I put up almost the entire concert of Toronto July 30th and there is another post that has most of the 31st) and see how it is. Politik is the only one that stands out in my mind.
Okay. Watched some of the Politik video. That'll probably be one to watch out for if they play it in Boston, but I feel like the flashes of light might be just too far apart to trigger a migraine. But thank you so, so much for the heads-up and the video!

Five so-called Key Games each introduce one single key. These keys, the Spacebar, Escape key, Enter key, Left and Right Arrow keys, are the building blocks for future keyboarding skills and formal computer navigation.
In Ballicopter’s Key Game only the Spacebar is active. All other keys are disabled. When using screen reading software, Space bar is used to toggle a checkbox on or off. So the same key is used to turn something on, and then to turn it off again. This concept is supported in this Key game. Pressing Spacebar once, makes Ballicopter land. Pressing again, makes him take off again. When he lands – in high grass which makes it impossible to rely on visual clues – you can hear what animal is there. The goal is to find the duck.
This video demonstrates how nine year old Natalija, who is blind and is a more experienced computer user, plays Ballicopter’s Key Game. She presses the Spacebar and responds to the sounds she hears every time Ballicopter lands. Her joy at finding the duck speaks for itself.
Find out who Madilyn’s favorite Ballylander is, and watch her use touch gestures on the screen to play with the Ballyland Magic App.

A public nuisance is an interference with the common right of the general public or an indefinite number of persons; an unreasonable interference with the health, safety, peace, or comfort of the community.
Public nuisance is such an inconvenience or troublesome offence, as it annoys the whole community in general, and not merely some particular person. To constitute a public nuisance, there must be such 'a number of persons annoyed, that the offence can no longer be considered a private nuisance. It is difficult to define what degree of annoyance is necessary to constitute a nuisance. In relation to offensive trades, it seems that when such a trade renders the enjoyment of life and property uncomfortable, it is a nuisance for the neighbourhood as they have a right to pure and fresh air. A thing may be a nuisance in one place, which-is not so in another; therefore the situation or locality of the nuisance must be considered.
*	Exposing a person having a contagious disease, as the smallpox, in public and the like.
268. A person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, dangers or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right. A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.
291. Whoever repeats or continues a public nuisance, having been enjoined by any public servant who has lawful authority to issue such injunction not to repeat or continue such nuisance, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine, or with both.
143. A District Magistrate or any other Executive Magistrate empowered by the Government or the District Magistrate in this behalf, may order any person not to repeat or continue a public nuisance, as defined in the Penal Code or any special law.
10. (1) The conservator may remove, or cause to be removed, any timber, raft or other thing, floating or being in any part of any such port, which in his opinion obstructs or impedes the free navigation thereof or the lawful use of any pier, jetty, landing-place, wharf, quay, dock, mooring or other work on any part of the shore or bank which has been declared to be within the limits of the port and is not private property.
(2) The owner of any such timber, raft or other thing shall be liable to pay the reasonable expenses of the removal thereof, and if such owner or any other person has without lawful excuse caused any such obstruction or impediment, or causes any public nuisance affecting or likely to affect such free navigation or lawful use, he shall also be punishable with fine which may extend to one hundred taka.
(3) The conservator or any Magistrate having jurisdiction over the offence may cause any such nuisance to be abated.

Everyone at Nabarro Poole understands the importance of building ongoing relationships with our clients. Our approach is friendly and informal, whilst providing an efficient and professional service.
Thank you for this morning, it was great to see you. I felt the session was incredibly worthwhile – it was easy to understand and I know I can contact you should I have any other queries.
Fiona – Brookes Resourcing Ltd.
The first principle of networking is to be kind and share. I attended a networking lunch recently where Tyler gave away some outstanding VAT advice which I know is going to save me a fair bit of money. One rarely meets proactive accountants but Tyler is definitely one of them.
When we started working with Tyler at Nabarro Poole Ltd. a few years ago, we were a typical pub when it came to our paperwork. Tiny bits of paper bundled in to an envelope at the end of each week, chasing down suppliers for VAT invoices at the end of the quarter and working out GP%’s whenever we found time. We just thought that this was how it was done…but we were wrong.
Nabarro Poole have remarkably simplified the process for us. We use online bookeeping software to track sales/takings directly from the till; purchase invoices are all dealt with electronically and the software’s bank feed option means we can see our bank balance and our cash balance in real time. Our VAT returns are done straight after the quarter end date. Tyler can provide me with key information quickly, like the gross profit %’s, staff costs as a % of turnover and other ratios that I hadn’t realised the importance of. We would highly recommend Tyler and his team at NP for any business, but especially a business like ours.
We switched to Nabarro Poole Ltd. from our accountant as we were having difficulty making contact with them and getting answers to our queries. As a small business, if we have a question, we really need a timely answer and need to be able to understand the impact of the decisions we make.
We have been working with Tyler and the team for over a year now and the service has been fantastic! E-mails and calls are responded to extremely promptly and the advice is always concise and easy to understand, which is very important to us.
We have started using Kashflow for our bookeeping – what a revelation! It is very intuitive and easy to use and we can already see what a huge difference it will make to the time spent on admin.
Nicola – Director – All The Little Details Ltd.
As I grew, Nabarro Poole’s service evolved to keep pace at a price that was reflective of the fact I was still very much a small business. However, I was advised that as my business grew, I would outgrow my accountant but that simply hasn’t been the case. Tyler and his team are extremely responsive to my queries – which range from silly questions to complex requests – and are always looking to support my business in making finance easier to manage and more watertight. I would highly recommend Nabarro Poole to any SME looking to take on an accountant for the journey. They have been instrumental in supporting my business growth and I see them very much as an extended part of my team!

I’ve received a few questions about the best way to cool down and stretch after a kettlebell workout. Here’s a bootcamp and kettlebell cool down and stretch sequence that I use fairly often for myself and for the bootcamp classes that I teach. You’ll notice that I’ve also incorporated yoga technique so that it flows smoothly from one stretch into the next.
Why Cool Down and Stretch?
Strenuous exercise and vigorous activity causes muscles to tighten up. Overly tight muscles are easily strained or pulled, so it’s very important to stretch them properly after physical activity.
Additionally, when your heart rate is elevated from exercise, it’s important to bring it back down gradually. Allow your body temperature to slowly return to normal and allow your blood to slowly redistribute itself properly throughout the body. This helps alleviate any soreness from the build up of lactic acid, and prevents the blood from pooling up around your muscles.
Keep the blood flowing properly and encourage good circulation to prevent dizziness, fatigue, and nausea.
The best type of stretching for cooling your body down is static stretching.
Dynamic stretching is best for the warm up. Dynamic stretching is controlled movements that heat up the body, and take you to the limits of your full range of motion. This prepares the muscles for more rigorous activity and loosens everything up for more active movement.
Static stretching is better suited for relaxing the muscles and easing tension that has been built up in the muscles from exercise. You want to take your static stretches deep, but not to the point where you feel any pain.
Static stretching involves slow, smooth stretching with longer holds of 20-60 seconds per stretch. I don’t actually like staring at a stopwatch while I’m stretching, so I usually time my stretches by the breaths that I take. Try holding each stretch for a good 5-10 breaths. You can vary the length of time in your stretches depending on how tight you feel, and the intensity of the work that you just completed. A really intense workout might require additional time for stretching.
The key to getting a good static stretch is in the breathing. Deep exhalations allow your muscles to relax and enables you to sink into your stretches a little deeper.
Do you have a stretch routine that you like to do after your workouts? I’d love to hear about it.
You can always save the link to this article or video on your phone, tablet, or computer and follow along with this stretch no matter where you’re working out.

Have you ever wondered how the shocks and struts in your vehicle work? For those who don’t know their purpose, we will explain exactly what they do for your vehicle. Both shocks and struts work to help your vehicle stay balanced and maintain a smooth ride, and they also affect your vehicle's handling capabilities. However, every vehicle is not equipped with both shocks and struts. Read below to learn more on these essential parts of your vehicle.
Although not a structural part of the suspension, shocks still have a crucial job to perform. By restricting the bounce created by the residual movement in the springs, shocks assist current vehicles for a generally comfortable ride and allow for more control of the vehicle.
Technically, struts are part of the suspension and steering systems, and basically perform the same job as shocks. In addition, they are partly responsible for moving the wheels when the the steering wheel is turned. They are also typically more simple to install and remove than shocks.
Most research recommends replacing shocks and struts when they reach the 50,000 mile mark, but if you notice signs of wear before then, like poor steering response, excessive vehicle bounce or uneven tire wear, your shocks and struts may need to be replaced sooner. For more advice on your shocks or struts, don’t hesitate ask our expert technicians.
For more information on shocks and struts or to schedule a service for your vehicle, contact us or stop by Cooper Motor Company at 305 E Main St., Clinton, SC 29325. We look forward to serving our customers from Clinton, SC, and throughout Laurens & Fountain Inn.

Spencer Squash Club is feeling super.
It looks like Charlie Duckworth was the player of the month for October 2018.
The week seemed to be getting better and better.
Spencer Squash 2nd team won 3-2 on Monday.
The third team got a 4-1 win and the first team achieved a 5-0 win on Wednesday.
Sophie Hill competed in the GU15.. Playing Torrie Malik in the first round.. losing in straight sets to the eventual winner and certainly Torrie will be a bright potential future England star!!
Finally... Congratulations to Annabelle Hill who already is ranked 15th in England GU13'.. came 17th of 32. What a result for a 11 year old. John Gallard believes she will be ready for that top 5 for next year. Annabelle's success has earned her a call up to the National England Girls squad.. Well done.. We look forward to your first cap for England.
And the tee-shirts are currently on sales at £16.49..
There are women's tops on there as well now.
The club had 4 juniors represented in the recent Silver Nationals down in Lee-on-Solent near Portsmouth.
Huge congrats to Nikita Goel who only at 8 came 10th for her first Girls u11 National tournament. Nikita played some of the top juniors in the country and never looked out of place.. Well done and we are sure your stock in the next season will rise even higher..
Then in the Girls u15… Sophie came in 14th playing all the top juniors in the country..a very tough draw.. she never looked out of place competing with Welsh number 1 who eventually won the tournament.
Finally.. The special mention go to probably the hardest working twins in squash... Thomas came 5th in the Boys u13 losing only to the Welsh number 1 (what's with the Welsh this weekend??) And to Annabelle who surely must be player of season in Surrey county who reached the Girls u13 semis coming in 4th... The Twin Slam again?
The charge for this will be £60 for the week or at a drop in price of £15.
This will commence from Monday 23rd July. We plan to hold this for 4 weeks but this of course depends upon popularity.
Please pass this on to any other parents or juniors who you may believe would be interested in Squash.
The 2018 Spencer Squash AGM will be held on Thursday 12th July at 7.30pm in the Club House.
We'll be offering a free drink to each member who attends.
This is your chance to let us know how you would like us best to develop our wonderful squash club and what should be given priority. If there are any matters that you would like us to bring to the agenda, then please let us know so that these can be added. A provisional agenda is attached.

Spencers foray into the junior league has been fruitful with Head Coach John Gallard putting the kids in their paces.
Last time round our Juniors beat 3 other teams to secure top position in the league. Just the weekend, the team spearheaded by our very own 10 year Thomas, Sophie, Annabelle Hill and making his debut.. Luca Thomson. "Man of the match" goes to Luca for winning both his matches against David Lloyds.. beating his opponent who was more experienced in squash.. Fantastic result.. credit to Sophie and Thomas who did very well in winning their matches .. Sophie winning 3-2 and Thomas who's playing very well lately beating Michael Chak an England u13 ranked player..
Spencers Juniors today entered the Div 5 Surrey Junior Cup (similar to the adult Surrey Cup). Grafton Squash club hosted the league surrey cup and 4 teams who are able to have 3 players under 16 for boys and girls. Spencers were pit against Grafton, Purley and David Lloyds of Croydon.... and the Juniors made up of our 10 year old Thomas Hill playing at No. 1, Sophie Hill playing 2, and sister Annabelle playing at 3. It was non stop squash playing non stop matches one after the other all Sunday afternoon. The kids were playing kids bigger, taller...but they kept their cool, composure and as Thomas said... 'we did not let the club down...!' All kids played kids way bigger then them, taller, stronger .... and credit to all of them that played their hearts out and putting Spencers on the map for junior development. Credit to Annabelle Hill for being the Player of the tournament, winning matches that she was not expected to - well done Annabelle.
Spencers Squash kids win Maidstone Junior Copper Open.
A great performance from Thomas Hill winning the Boys U11 and Sophie Hill winning the Girls U13. Their sister Annabelle did remarkably well by coming in 2nd to her big sister in the GU13 and by beating the 2nd seed in an older age group.
Annabelle came in 2nd in New Malden Neil Desai tournament and played in the mixed event of boys and girls losing by one point in the final.
In other news Spencer are to form an England Squash Junior club team.

Spencer Squash Club is with Charlie Duckworth.
Many congratulations to Spencer stalwart and wannabee internal league Division 1 player Charlie Duckworth for being awarded Volunteer of the year by The Lord’s Taverners for his services helping disabled children at Spencer.

I must admit, i’m not the biggest fan of craft books for children as I tend to find that they recycle ideas. However, these two books intrigued me because I wondered how they could actually think of enough things to make for each book. So I agreed to look at them for a review.
I have been astonished by these books. In all honesty, I don’t think the covers do them justice because they are little gems. These are not books full of crafts to do with the children, rather they are books which enable you to make your children’s dreams of becoming a Knight or Princess come true. Packed with lots of ideas, simple tutorials and excellent patterns you’ll find 15 projects in each book.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been making things from both books. The bows and arrows and shoebox catapault have been brilliant hits from the Knight Craft Book. However, I have to say, I think the Princess Craft Book is a goldmine of projects which are incredibly versatile. The patterns contained are second to none and I’ve been really impressed.
For World Book Day we have a dress up as a Shakespeare character day and my daughter and god-daughter have both decided to be a horse. I’m thinking Richard III horse but alternatively they could be Bottom from Midsummer Nights Dream. My daughter is a massive horse fan so I knew her costume wouldn’t be wasted. The Princess Craft Book has a brilliant tutorial and pattern for making a ride on horse. I used the pattern and tutorial for the head to make their head-dresses. That’s the fantastic thing about these books; the patterns can be adapted. If you want any sort of cape, armour, crown, tabard then you needn’t look further.
I’m seriously impressed with these books, not only are they great if you’re trying to create costumes, there are loads of other activities, many which can be adapted to do alongside your kids. If you’re a museum education officer you’ll also find them a goldmine of information. They have clear step by step instructions, excellent patterns and are exceptionally good value at just £6.99.

looks delicious as always. I have not started preparing for ramadan, I cant beleive how fast it has come around already.
Oh wow that's really nice we can freeze them and use whenever we want... My kind of recipe.
Wow MashaAllah looks like a yummy one time prep, store and eat recipe.
What a great idea - and so easy to do too with pre-rolled pastry!
I don't think I have ever had a streak pie...we usually eat chicken! Might have to give this a go with chicken.
I've used sago only to make sweets. Nice to see translucent sago as a part of stuffing. Should try this. How long should the sago be soaked before using it in the recipe?

Virgin Australia has announced it will cease flying it's Melbourne to Los Angeles route in preference of adding extra Brisbane to Los Angeles services for it's Australian passengers.
No change will be made in the amount of passengers Virgin will fly to and from Australia - but the change sees Melbourne passengers needing to fly to either Sydney or Brisbane for a connecting flight to America if they choose the Virgin brand.
Virgin Australia’s Chief Commercial Officer Judith Crompton said: “We work closely with our alliance partner Delta Air Lines to review our trans-Pacific services and ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers and our commercial objectives.
“The changes announced today are a result of extensive market analysis. Having the right frequency is very important to corporate and leisure customers and moving to daily flights from Brisbane enables us to provide more choice and flexibility to those travelling to and from Queensland.
“Those travelling from Melbourne will still be able to travel to Los Angeles on one ticket with through-checked baggage, connecting through Sydney or Brisbane, and we are committed to providing competitive fares on these routes.
“North America is an extremely important market for Virgin Australia and we continue to work with our partner Delta Air Lines to enhance our customer offering on the trans-Pacific”, Ms Crompton said.

Software evolves, updates are released and we all tread the moving pavement. So it is even with open-source software projects, such as Drupal and Wordpress. There are few exemptions. To Benjamin Franklin’s death and taxes, we should these days add software updates. And why not? Software projects are complicated and bugs slip out alongside improved functionality. So there is an inevitable iteration of minor and major releases. Minor releases, such as from Drupal 7.1 to Drupal 7.2, are usually evolutionary.
Major version releases, such as from a version 7.n to a version 8.0, are not evolutionary. These are releases that are potentially both revolutionary and/or disruptive. Developers can either crave them or fear them. Each major version promises new and welcome improvements that might merit the popping of champagne corks. But there is the risk that any major version release introduces changes so sweeping that a user is required to question their own loyalty to the brand.
The first Drupal 6 site I built was in 2009. I built between 8 and 10 in the first two years. Having the Drupal Views module to play with was a revelation. It provided the ability to click through an admittedly complex interface to build almost any form of database report to be delivered in standards-compliant code, made as pretty as pie with CSS. This was like being back writing desktop database-reporting solutions, but without needing to grapple with code. Scales fell from eyes. But the pavement keeps moving.
Target user Private, SMEs, non-profits. Private, SMEs, non-profits, businesses. Corporates.
Leap in complexity for the developer compared to the previous version n/a Significant but not problematic. Very considerable.
Drupal 7 followed in January 2011 and I’ve built maybe 20 sites with this major version, most of them being responsive sites. Views has been central to all these systems, and working with it has become almost as natural as breathing. Having an ever-expanding set of third-party modules capable of being plugged into Views has been very special. Having the IP Geolocation Views & Maps module and the Leaflet module, which together run database reports that output data overlaid onto a map, has been nothing short of sensational. In an ideal world, Drupal would stay put just like that, a bit more polish here, a bit of bug-fixing there, minor versions incrementally added, but nothing revolutionary by way of major versions. An ideal world, hhmm.
But that’s not what Drupal 8 is to a small web shop like mine. The evolution from version 7 to version 8 has been revolutionary. A steeper learning curve has been introduced. A slew of new technologies has been wrapped up inside the package, the most notable of which is Symfony, an open-source PHP-based application framework that follows the MVC architecture. Some of Symfony’s components now power Drupal 8 and developers won’t be able to wrangle 8 without wrangling Symfony. In addition, version 8 requires hardware with more grunt. Drupal 8 is targeted at corporates with complex user-bases and high-volume traffic, not the sort of clients that I work with. Drupal’s architecture has changed and it has been overtly positioned in a different commercial space. This is great for those who want to go in that direction. I don’t. So this post summarises what my reaction is to this sea change, and what the challenges and opportunities are.
My needs are simple: I’d like to work with something like Drupal that has something like Views, but with no additional major learning curves. If it could also work with something like IP Geolocation Views & Maps and something like Leaflet so that I can continue to help my clients express their activities in geographic terms, I’d be in heaven. That’s all!
For new clients whose activity does not require a mapping component, I shall provide them with a Backdrop CMS solution.
For new clients whose activity does require a mapping component, I shall provide them with a Drupal 7 solution. When Drupal 7 is end-of-lifed, my hope will be that Backdrop will by then have a mapping solution available and I will perform the transition for them from Drupal 7 to Backdrop. If that mapping option remains unavailable in Backdrop at that time, then I shall endeavour to find a host who is willing to accommodate a Drupal 7 website.
Much as I adore working with Drupal 7, I shall not be moving my skill-set forward to Drupal 8. It is overkill for the overwhelming majority of the projects I work on.
To ensure that the above does not create a negative impression of anything other than Drupal 7, it is worth saying that I consider Backdrop to be a fine piece of work. It is a fork of Drupal 7 which will be very familiar to Drupal 7 developers. It is lighter-weight than Drupal 7 and requires slightly less in terms of server hardware. It is also slightly faster than Drupal 7 (for anonymous users when caching is enabled). In terms of architecture and storage, there are few differences between the two systems. It has also been worked on by many very well-respected members of the Drupal community, particularly Nate Haug (aka quicksketch) and Jen Lampton (jenlampton). Oh, and it has Views baked in to its core. What better?
One more reason to take a closer look at Backdrop is its new Layouts system. This is probably the only aspect of Backdrop that a Drupal 7 shop will not find immediately intuitive. It is a variant of Drupal’s Panels module serving as a page-templating system. Once mastered, it enables designers to establish page regions and pull blocks into these — and do so outside a site’s theme layer. I’m currently using Backdrop for a reasonably complex project and I like what I see.
I consider Backdrop to be an extremely worthy successor to Drupal 7 and once it has its forum up and running so that the Backdrop community can pull in more participants, I believe this will be a thriving open-source project.

SellCompare compares all the leading device recyclers, so you'll get the highest price for your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS guaranteed. We do all the hard work so you don't have to check each website individually.
The recent trade-in price history of Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS generally shows an increase. In other words, the used prices of this device are getting higher as it is becoming more desirable. This normally happens if your device is reasonably old and may appeal to those on a tighter budget, or (more likely) people who are looking for parts. It may even be to strip down or re-sell in a third-world country - here's why. Remember: It is very unlikely that prices will keep on increasing for ANY used electricals.
How do I get the best price when selling my Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS?
I want to sell my Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS, how much money can I get?
Mobile Cash Mate, musicMagpie and several other recyclers will pay you £520.00 for your used Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS. Screen scratched? No battery? No problem! Most, if not all, of the websites we compare will buy a device regardless of its condition. If you aren't sure on the 'grading' of your Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS then take the 30 second questionnaire above for an accurate price based on your specific handset.
Can I sell my faulty/damaged Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS for cash?
YES! Unsure of your device's condition? Then take our 30 second quiz to find out. Or if you'd rather grade your device yourself then, according to our research, most users will need to select "working" condition if they have previously used a screen protector. If they didn't use a screen protector and the screen has some hairline or small scratches then SellCompare suggests "Minor Damage" condition. Always check on the recycler's website that your condition matches the reality when trading in your Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS.
How many Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DSs can I sell in total?
It's a very simple process, once you've decided which Recycler you're going to use, all you need to do is add your Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS to the basket on their website and complete their checkout process to place a return request. Note that you deal directly with the recycling company when selling your Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS, SellCompare simply compares prices from several leading trade-in companies. If you are concerned about accuracy of the prices quoted - then don't be! SellCompare compares over 500 prices 6 times a day for the best accuracy possible. If you spot a pricing error please contact the development team here, if confirmed SellCompare will provide you with a fre £25 Amazon.co.uk gift certificate.
What websites actually buy used Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DSs for cash?
Recycling websites like Mobile Cash Mate, Giffgaff Recycle, O2 Recycle, EE Recycle, musicMagpie and many more! In fact SellCompare compares over 30 of these websites, who offer online trade-ins for Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS depending on its condition. If you aren't sure on your device's condition then take the 30 second questionnaire. You can get up to £520.00 online if you recycle it right now. The highest-quoting company usually has a large demand for these secondhand/used, damaged or even faulty Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS handsets, but be warned: prices do not stick around forever, and can update several times in the same 24 hour period! So if you are considering trading in your device, in all likelihood the price will only go lower from the one you see right now.

The Court of Justice of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (CJJ) is implementing a paperless digital courtroom after signing up with CaseLines, the world’s leading global provider of digital evidence management, according to a press statement on Thursday.
The statement said that CaseLines is a critical tool which helps nations meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 16 by transforming the quality and efficiency of justice across Africa, with the aim of assisting in improving the rule of law. CaseLines’s software eliminates the need for paper in court by introducing an entirely digital platform with applications that allow for the creation and presentation of a fully digital bundle, including multi-media evidence, collaboration instruments for enhanced pre-trial preparation, and secure role validated video conferencing for virtual hearings.
“Covering 21 member states, the supranational CJJ, based in Khartoum, Sudan, sits with 12 judges, each from different member states, with seven Judges in the First Instance Division, and five others in the Appellate Division,” the statement read. “Today, lawyers bring cases to the court from all the member states, incurring considerable time and cost to file applications and send paper copies of evidence to the court. CaseLines provides a digital solution to this challenge, helping to increase the efficiency and security surrounding legal proceedings,” the statement continued.
CaseLines will allow lawyers to file applications and evidence in a secure environment from their own offices, saving costs of copying and transporting paper files, and at the same time cutting the risk of losing or misplacing files. Moreover, the system sustains efficient pre-trial preparation, especially for lawyers who are supporting clients in different countries.
Judges of the CJJ will now be able to work efficiently from their home offices, which will enhance the preparations, while cutting unnecessary travel costs and time, and speeding up the process of preparing the judgment following a hearing.

Just about any political season spawns this question (at least for me). As candidates crisscross our television sets in search of votes, the question of leadership and what it entails moves center stage.
In the political arena, apparently leadership tries to connect us to shared ideas. Sure, there are the warnings against the extremes of rival candidates, but debates and the better ads focus on issues. And the candidates seemingly try to position themselves in an electable posture. They speak where the majority speaks in hopes of gaining a majority of the votes. If candidates have ideas that are less mainstream, they tend to keep those thoughts under wraps as such a revelation could sink the campaign.
Is that what leadership is? Find the most popular thoughts and make them your own so people will follow you? Perhaps that’s the only place a democracy can lead, but most of us are looking for something else in a leader–integrity.
The ability to be trusted is often the most popular response when answering the question of leader traits. If you think of your most-admired leader list, likely everyone near the top is someone you think you could trust. You are certain that in every situation, these leaders will do what is best even if it proves difficult or causes them to sacrifice. The best leaders do what is best no matter what.
Now I’m not sure we can infuse election season with such thinking, but we can align our own leadership to such an ideal. In our homes, on the job, in our church, and wherever else we are asked to lead, we can serve with integrity. Who I choose to be is my decision. I can’t make such a choice for anyone else, no matter how I might wish to impact their path. But I can choose integrity for my own life.
If your wife and kids are listing their most-admired leaders, don’t you want to make that list? There’s really only one way–be the leader you admire!

Microsoft this week finally expounded publicly on the unique new capabilities coming in the camera that is common to both the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. He notes that the two handsets include the most advanced imaging hardware and software that has ever appeared in a Lumia handset, bolstering the claims I heard last week.
The camera specs are well understood: a rear-facing PureView camera with a 20 megapixel advanced BSI (backside illumination) sensor, F1.9 Zeiss optics, triple-LED natural flash, fifth-generation Lumia OIS (optical image stabilization), ISO12800, 4K video, and a 5 megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera. But specs are just specs, and some handsets with high-end camera specs aren’t all that impressive. So Alakarhu provides some stunning examples of Lumia 950/950 XL photography to make his point.
I cannot wait to test these handsets.

A vintage bank vault that once served the independent City of West Park now sits nearly forgotten at Cleveland City Hall in the Treasurer's office (room 115).
When West Park voted to become part of Cleveland on November 7, 1922, its public property, including a city hall building, two fire stations, and eight public schools, was turned over to Cleveland.
The former West Park City Hall at 15619 Lorain Avenue became the home of Cleveland's First District Police Station. In about 1977, when the police station moved to the present building on West 130th, the old city hall was torn down.

The Red Kettle Society has been created as a means to allow its members the opportunity to help The Piqua Salvation Army meet the needs of our community. The Society is different from the Red Kettle Campaign typically launched only during the holiday season. A minimum annual contribution of $1000 is required to become a member of the Red Kettle Society and the benefits for members are many.
Besides helping countless families in our community, members are removed from all mailing lists and receive no mailings as long as they remain members. They will also have their names printed in our Christmas Report sent to the Piqua Daily Call, and posted on our web site. Members' names will also be displayed at all Salvation Army events and fundraisers throughout the year, and they will be honored with an annual celebration.
The Salvation Army is the only social service agency for Piqua and only one of two for Northern Miami County. They reach out to families in Covington, Bradford, Conover, Lena, and many other small villages in northern Miami County. We have seen the numbers of families needing help increased greatly in the past three years.
The Salvation Army remains financially strong and ready to meet these challenges with the help of its community. It offers several options for annual membership donations to The Red Kettle Society. Individuals may begin their membership in The Society by donating the minimum $1,000 all at one time, or donating a portion, with a pledge for the remaining amount in three or four payments.
To join or learn more about The Red Kettle Society, call 773-7563, or forward your contribution to The Red Kettle Society, The Salvation Army, 129 S. Wayne Street, Piqua, OH 45356.

Come and celebrate the life of Paddy O'Malley at his favorite pub. All of his family and friends have been asked to come and share their stories and toast his life in a true Irish wake fashion.
Paddy's long time friend Seamus has been asked to make all of the preparations and arrangements for this festive night; however, as the evening unfolds, we find out that Paddy's luck had finally run out and there may have been some foul play involved in his demise. Not only has Seamus been charged with the celebration of his friend, he may even have to be the lead detective in his murder.
As you enter for the evening, you will be asked to greet and pay your respects to Paddy's window (Colleen) and take a few moments to spend some time with Paddy and his remains. The evening will continue as additional family and relatives arrive and everyone in attendance (including you) will play a role in this fascinating murder/mystery dinner.
Paddy was a widely successful investment broker and had a net worth of more than 500 million dollars. He had many influential friends to include powerful politicians that are local, statewide, and national.
Colleen is/was the wife of Paddy O'Malley and is extremely beautiful women that looks fifteen to twenty years younger than her age. Colleen has always been surrounded by rumors about her affairs, but nothing has ever been substantiated. She stands to be a very wealthy woman, because of her husband's death.
Branna is Paddy's doctor and life-long friend. She was extremely shocked when Paddy died of a heart attack since she knew he was in great physical and cardiovascular shape. He exercised everyday and passed all of his annual physicals with flying colors.
Fiona is Paddy's longtime private secretary and confidant. It has been rumored for years that their association has been more unprofessional but no one knows for sure, or do they?
Seamus is a celebrated and well respected police detective. Captain McClain has worked on and solved many high profile cases over the years and has a reputation of never giving up until the case is solved. Paddy's will has named Seamus as the master of ceremony for his wake.
Quinn is Paddy's cousin and although his wealth is due directly to the investment advice from Paddy, they were never as close as outsiders though. Quinn was a college graduate who dropped out of medical school in his third year for some unknown reason and now works as an EMT.
Reagan is a sibling of Paddy who has never gotten over the perceived inequality of their father's will which left a much larger amount of money to Paddy.
Liam is Paddy's longtime attorney and seemed to have an unusual amount of influence over Paddy's monetary and personal decisions.
