The Shoot at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal
Chris Lacey
Studley Royal Shoot owns the freehold shooting rights at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal. Their arrangement to shoot on the estate is entirely separate to the National Trust.
When does shooting take place at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal?
Shooting takes place at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal within the water garden and abbey grounds on Fridays in November, December and January every year (except the Friday between Christmas and New Year's Day.) The National Trust closes the abbey and water garden on these days, but all other areas (including deer park and valley of the seven bridges) remain open as usual.
The shoot can, and does, shoot outside the water garden and abbey areas (predominantly Seven Bridges Valley, Studley Lake and Mackershaw deer park) in autumn and winter as is their right to do so.
Why does the Shoot take place at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal?
The current situation is one the National Trust inherited following its purchase of the Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal estate from North Yorkshire County Council in 1983.
In 1966, Henry Vyner, the last private owner of what was the 18,000 acre Studley Royal Estate, placed the contents, rights, chattels and land on the open market. A part of the sales included the freehold shooting rights. These rights were purchased by a private individual who sold them on to the current owner in 1971.
What do the shooting rights mean?
Like all freeholders they have a right, in law, to shoot at any time within the respective shooting periods. The freeholder has the right to shoot anywhere on the estate including the abbey and water gardens.
This is not a unique situation and many landowners within the UK find themselves having to operate like this, including those landowners who now manage land that was part of the old Studley Royal Estate.
Why has the National Trust not bought the shooting rights?
Unlike local or county councils, as a private charity, the National Trust has no power to compulsory purchase or place any legal claim to a right previously sold.
What has Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal agreed with the Shoot?
After legal negotiations some years ago, the National Trust reached an agreement with the Shoot to close the estate on Fridays in November, December and January. This was done to try to minimise the disruption to our visitors on other days and to allow the shoot to have exclusive access on that day only. Like all landowners we continue to manage the situation to the best of our ability. The closure dates are always printed in the members' handbook and available on our website.
Whilst we have been able to negotiate a specific day for closure in the abbey and water garden area, the Shoot can and does, shoot anywhere on any day within the confines of their shooting rights. Shooting can take place on any parcel of land within their portfolio without our prior knowledge and we have no bearing or influence on the Shoot's activity.
We are given limited notice of these 'extra' days. We give notice to visitors on the Fountains Abbey homepage and onsite that the Shoot will be taking place.
What are the Shoot's responsibilities when at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal?
In the past we have asked the Shoot to manage all aspects of their operations including 'the drive' i.e. staffing with respect to walkers using the public footpaths outside the paying area but still within our landownership.
As an independent company with freehold rights the Shoot is clearly responsible for all aspects of their work including the management of others who use the countryside. All shoots in the U.K. should adhere to the Code of Good Shooting Practice.
Does the National Trust make any financial gain from the Shoot?
The National Trust takes no part in any aspect of the shoot and there is no financial gain or otherwise to the Trust.
The 'Studley Royal Shoot' continues to operate as an independent company and totally separate from any National Trust business or affairs. We understand that the freeholder rears both wild and open penned birds on their own land.

Statutory disciplinary and grievance procedures
Department for Constitutional Affairs v Jones UKEAT/0333/06/DM
For the purposes of regulation 6(5) Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2004 ("the Regulations") a grievance that the employer has dismissed or is contemplating dismissal includes a complaint about the manner in which the employer is contemplating dismissal and the manner in which he has dealt with an appeal against dismissal. Therefore a complaint of discrimination in relation to the handling of the investigation and disciplinary procedures which led to dismissal and its outcome, including the appeal, would usually be a complaint about dismissal and the grievance procedures do not apply. More info
Warner Ltd v Aspland UKEAT/0531/05/MAA
A letter before action between the parties' solicitors may constitute a grievance for the purpose of the Regulations as long as it meets the requirements of regulation 2(1). A series of letters may be read together when deciding whether the complaint relates to the eventual claims. In the circumstances the grievance was not part of "without prejudice" correspondence. More info
Adding respondent after judgment
Aske Security Ltd v Foote & KAM Security Ltd UKEAT/0433/06/RN
The claimant obtained a judgment in default. She subsequently asked for a review to add the name of a new respondent as it would not be possible to recover against the original employer. Although the new respondent was a different legal entity the Employment Tribunal found it were in effect the same company and pierced the corporate veil. The EAT held that instead of just entering judgment against the new respondent the Employment Tribunal should have given it an opportunity to submit a response form and give evidence in defence. More info
Hassan v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis UKEAT/0437/06/DM
The dismissal of probationary police officer under regulation 13 of the Police Regulations 2003 by an Assistant Commissioner was a complaint which could be brought under the provisions against race and/or religious discrimination. The dismissal process was not sufficiently judicial to attract the common law protection of absolute immunity. The procedure adopted was not sufficiently similar to that adopted in a court of law. More info
Lake v British Transport Police UKEAT/0154/06/LA
The conduct, procedure and the decisions of a Police Disciplinary Board are all immune from suit because it is a judicial body. The protection afforded to police officers who may be 'whistleblowers' introduced by s43KA Employment Rights Act 1996 does not affect this immunity and does not enable police officers to challenge the conduct, procedure or decisions of the Board. However the bringing of the disciplinary proceedings as well as the action of the Chief Constable on appeal or review could be subject to complaint.
Territorial jurisdiction
Transocean International Resources Ltd v Russell EATS/0074/05/MT
Workers on installations situated on or over the UK Continental Shelf were covered by the Working Time Regulations 1998 in relation to their rights to paid annual leave prior to the 2006 amendments. More info
Unauthorised deductions
Dundee City Council v Robertson EAT/595/01
A car allowance which was provided whether or not the claimant ever used his car for work purposes should still be treated as payment of expenses under s27(2)(b) Employment Rights Act 1996 and therefore its withdrawal was not an unauthorised deduction from wages. More info
Contractual redundancy entitlement
Peries v Wirefast Ltd UKEAT/0245/06/DA
Although the handbook in which the entitlements in relation to redundancy was contained stated that it was not part of the contract, this did not preclude a policy emerging based on custom and practice that could harden into a contractual entitlement. More info
Ali v Sovereign Buses (London) Ltd UKEAT/0274/06/DM
The right to silence under article 6(2) ECHR in criminal proceedings cannot be read into the principle of fairness under section 98(4) Employment Rights Act 1996 as applying to internal disciplinary procedure. Provided the principles set out in the relevant authorities such as X v Y [2004] ICR 1634 are applied, there will be satisfactory recognition of the standards of fairness invoked by the Convention. More info
Royal Bank of Scotland plc v McAdie UKEAT/0268/06/ZT
The fact that an employer is responsible for an employee's incapacity is relevant to whether it is reasonable to dismiss for that incapacity and in such a case it may be necessary in such a case to "go the extra mile" in finding alternative employment or to put up with a longer period of sickness absence than would otherwise be reasonable. In the present case, however, even though an employee's stress-related illness was attributable to the employer, given that at the time of the dismissal there was no prospect of her ever returning to work the dismissal could not be unfair. More info
Scope v Thornett [2006] EWCA Civ 1600
The consideration of continuing loss in unfair dismissal claims inevitably involves the consideration of uncertainties and therefore involves a speculative element. Evidence to the contrary may be so sparse so as to lead to conclusion that loss would have continued indefinitely, however where there is evidence it may not have done so that must be taken into account and reasons for the conclusions made and factors relied on sufficiently stated. More info
Birmingham City Council v Laws UKEAT/0360/06/MAA
The Employment Tribunal erred in finding disability discrimination in relation to a complaint that had never formed part of the Claimant's claim despite a number of case management discussions and an agreed list of issues. More info
London Borough of Barnet v Ferguson UKEAT/0220/06/DA
When considering whether there has been a failure to make reasonable adjustments the Employment Tribunal must identify the relevant arrangements made by the employer, the relevant physical features of the premises, the identity of non-disabled comparators (where appropriate) and the nature and extent of the substantial disadvantage suffered by the Claimant. The Employment Tribunal had erred in failing to do so. A failure to consider whether any reasonable adjustments can be made is not a breach of the duty itself, however it may put an employer at risk of a breach (following Tarbuck v Sainsburys Supermarkets Ltd [2006] IRLR 664). More info
Protected disclosure
Bolton School v Evans [2006] EWHC Civ 1653
The Court of Appeal held that a protected disclosure does not extend to the whole course of conduct surrounding a disclosure but only the disclosure itself. Thus where disciplinary action was taken for the misconduct committed in hacking into a school's IT system to demonstrate problems with security, this was not done on the grounds that a protected disclosure had been made.

Impact of Title IX radiates throughout the WCWS
Isaiah Houde | SEC Network
Hogs set program and attendance record in upset of LSU
Oklahoma City - The impact of Title IX was on full display inside and out at USA Softball Hall Of Fame Stadium for the Women's College World Series.
The parking lots were filled with lifelong fans of the sport and the stadium was loaded with energy from the very first pitch on Day 1. An unreal turnout was eye-popping as the event continues to grow every year by substantial numbers.
The WCWS drew in a total of 67,631 fans in 2011, which was then tenth-most in the history of the event. The second-most number of fans to show up was in 2019 when 78,361 people showed love for their favorite teams.
A staggering 115,514 fans showed up in 2021, which blew away the record set just two years prior. The 2022 tournament is on pace to break the previous one held, after a record-high 24,602 people appeared at the first two sessions -- with an average of 12,301 per session. There was an average of 11,551 in attendance during 2021, showing the strong potential for 2022 to be bring in the highest attendance thus far.
Longtime fan and LSU alumni Sinah Goode spoke with SEC Network's Emily Proud about the turnout and was ecstatic.
"I love that there's so many fans here," Goode said with joy. "That is one of the neatest things. The last few years we've come it's been sold out every time and it's just great. It's wonderful, no doubt."
How long has she been coming?
"Since 1973, but that was in Omaha," Goode continued. "Somewhere in the 1990's we started coming almost every year. Probably for the last 20 years we've come every year."
With the 50th anniversary of Title IX around the corner, Goode said this is a perfect time to reflect on the adversity women have faced.
"Going back to old times, we were all in this together," Goode continued. "There was no support, no monetary support or any kind of support.
"It changed (women's sports) dramatically. Before I came to Norman High, there was just gymnastics and tennis, maybe track and field. After I came, and because of Title IX, we had all those other sports. The women never played, but they always wanted to. We were teaching people the rules while they were playing on these high school teams.
"All that stuff is true. We had no budget, we had no uniforms and we had the throwaways (uniforms) from the boys. If we wanted to have the gym, you got to the gym at six in the morning, because it was not available to you at any other time."
The uniforms and budget were a huge issue for women in sports, along with the venues in which they played in. USA Softball Hall of Stadium is one prime example of the drastic changes that have been made over the last half century.
The NCAA detailed the renovations made since 2011 that have allowed for the continued growth of the event.
In 2011, a multipurpose field house was constructed behind the scoreboard in left-center field. During the WCWS, it is used to house the umpiring crews, and teams use to gather before and after games.
In 2013 and 2014, four new locker rooms and larger dugouts were part of a renovation to improve the student-athlete experience at the event. Concession stands and additional restrooms were also built. Also, during this time, batting cages were added down each baseline to help for possible pinch-hitting duties or to warm up before games. This is in addition to the two practice fields that were built at the complex in 2003, where teams prepare for their upcoming games.
In 2018, metal roof coverings were added to the batting cages. The following year, the press box and broadcast areas were renovated. Teams can walk through tunnels in the complex to reach locker rooms and to reach rooms where they answer questions from the press.
All the renovations have led to Oklahoma City remaining the host of the WCWS through 2035.
These changes have been beneficial for all collegiate teams, including the SEC groups that have had at least one team present since 2002.
Florida, led by Tim Walton, was the sole SEC team to compete in the WCWS and it was present with an unlikely run. The Gators outscored opponents 47-0 in the NCAA Softball Tournament and landed in the WCWS on what some would consider an off year.
Three former Gators that were on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic team were at an autograph session and two of them discussed the impact of Title IX in a conversation with Proud.
"When I think about my life and the person I've become, so much of it has been fostered through softball," former Florida catcher Aubree Munro said. "I grew and played a little bit of volleyball and a little bit of basketball, but I fell in love with softball at a young age."
"It's made me a better person, a better leader, a better teammate and it now translates to my real life. All of that goes back to softball, so to have the opportunity to compete at a high level and to pursue a dream has taught me so much that I get to carry the rest of my life"
Michelle Moultrie played a few years before Munro and she gave more insight on the impact that Title IX has had on women in sports.
"I just think it's really awesome," Moultrie said. "I think for women to get the recognition that they are great athletes and that people come to see them and want to see them. I think it's really cool for these athletes to go to a big school, or go to a small school, and get this experience that's equal to a man. I think people and fans in general are supporting women and it's really awesome to see."
Players like Munro and Moultrie help build on a sport that was cherished and protected by fans like Goode.
"This is my favorite week of the year, when I get to come to Oklahoma City and watch softball," Goode concluded with a grin.

Civil society organisations call on apparel brands and retailers to cut ties with suppliers using forced labour of ethnic minorities in China
by CAPLC2021 | Jul 27, 2020 | Signing letters, Signing letters 2020
Today, 72 Uyghur rights groups are joined by over 100 civil society organisations and labour unions from around the world in calling on apparel brands and retailers to stop using forced labour in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region ("Uyghur Region"), known to local people as East Turkistan, and end their complicity in the Chinese government's human rights abuses. The groups have issued a call to action seeking brand commitments to cut all ties with suppliers implicated in forced labour and end all sourcing from the Uyghur Region, from cotton to finished garments, within twelve months.
"Now is the time for real action from brands, governments and international bodies – not empty declarations. To end the slavery and horrific abuses of Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other Turkic Muslim peoples by the Chinese government, brands must ensure their supply chains are not linked to the atrocities against these people. The only way brands can ensure they are not profiting from the exploitation is by exiting the region and ending relationships with suppliers propping up this Chinese government system," said Jasmine O'Connor OBE, CEO of Anti-Slavery International.
The Chinese government has rounded up an estimated 1 to 1.8 million Uyghurs and other Turkic and Muslim people in detention and forced-labour camps, the largest interment of an ethnic and religious minority since World War II. The atrocities in the Uyghur Region – including torture, forced separation of families, and the compulsory sterilisation of Uyghur women – are widely recognised to be crimes against humanity. A central element of the government's strategy to dominate the Uyghur people is a vast system of forced labour, affecting factories and farms across the region and China, both inside and beyond the internment camps.
Gulzira Auelkhan, a Kazakh woman who was formerly detained in an internment camp and then subjected to forced labour in a factory said: "The clothes factory was no different from the [internment] camp. There were police, cameras, you couldn't go anywhere."
Despite global outrage at the abuses, leading apparel brands are bolstering and benefiting from the government's assault on the peoples of the region. Brands continue to source millions of tons of cotton and yarn from the Uyghur Region. Roughly 1 in 5 cotton garments sold globally contains cotton and/or yarn from the Uyghur Region; it is virtually certain that many of these goods are tainted with forced labour. Moreover, apparel brands maintain lucrative partnerships with Chinese corporations implicated in forced labour, including those that benefit from the forced labour transfer of victims from the Uyghur Region to work in factories across China.
"Global brands need to ask themselves how comfortable they are contributing to a genocidal policy against the Uyghur people. These companies have somehow managed to avoid scrutiny for complicity in that very policy – this stops today," said Omer Kanat, Executive Director of the Uyghur Human Rights Project.
The supply chains of most major apparel brands and retailers are tainted by Uyghur forced labour. Major corporations claim not to tolerate forced labour by their suppliers, but have offered no credible explanation as to how they can meet this standard while continuing to do business in a region where forced labour is rife.
"Forced labourers in the Uyghur Region face vicious retaliation if they tell the truth about their circumstances. This makes due diligence through labour inspections impossible and virtually guarantees that any brand sourcing from the Uyghur Region is using forced labour," said Scott Nova, Executive Director of the Worker Rights Consortium.
"Given the lack of leverage and the inability to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts, apparel brands and retailers must take the necessary steps to end business relationships connected to the Uyghur Region in order to fulfil their responsibility to respect human rights as defined by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights," said David Schilling, Senior Program Director of Human Rights at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.
"If responsible business conduct has any meaning, it requires fashion brands to act when independent journalists, United Nations human rights experts, and human rights NGOs expose grave human rights abuses," said Jennifer (JJ) Rosenbaum, Executive Director of Global Labor Justice – International Labor Rights Forum. "Business and human rights principles require fashion brands to stop using cotton and labour from the Uyghur Region in their global supply chains."

A internet e a Revolução
Um pensamento sério, com expressão feliz. Este anúncio com toque surrealista, à Giorgio de Chirico, lembra Os Pássaros, de Alfred Hitchcock, e, sobretudo, Le Roi et l'Oiseau, de Paul Grimault. Descoloridas e gelatinosas, as figuras do poder assemelham-se a peças de um jogo de xadrez subvertido pelas asas da internet. A agência Marcel Paris explica:
"We all know the role of social networks and Internet in spreading revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.Social networks are now an essential source of information, as evidenced by the results obtained by France24, the French international news channel that broadcasts in three languages (French, English and Arabic).
It's mainly the Arabic language version that broke all audience records during this period. But the channel as a whole has benefited from an increase in audience : in March 2011, france24.com experienced a peak in traffic with nearly 14 million visits and about 59 million page views.

NGA Opposes FTC Children's Ad Proposal
ARLINGTON, Va. — National Grocers Association said it has asked the Federal Trade Commission to withdraw its proposed limits for advertising food products to children.
ARLINGTON, Va. — National Grocers Association said it has asked the Federal Trade Commission to withdraw its proposed limits for advertising food products to children.
"This is just another example of unnecessary regulatory overreach at a time when the food industry has taken giant steps in providing consumers with nutritional information and healthy food choices," said Peter J. Larkin, president and chief executive officer, NGA.
The Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children: Proposed Nutrition Principles include recommendations addressing the nutritional quality of foods that are heavily marketed to children ages 2-17.
"The 'voluntary' Proposed Principles require the reformulation of a wide range of products and limit the marketing of national and private-brand label products," NGA said in a statement. "NGA, food retailers, food wholesalers and manufacturers have had a lot of recent experience with 'voluntary principles,' including country of origin labeling and nutrition labeling, both of which began as 'voluntary regulations' and quickly became government mandates that were costly and burdensome to independent retailers and wholesalers."

Top 5 "out of this world" U of M events of 2014
In 2014 U of M people explored the far reaches of space from the comforts of Winnipeg.
Occultation of star by asteroid
Occultation of star by asteroid observed at U of M observatory
A team of amateur astronomers at the Glenlea Astronomical Observatory south of Winnipeg managed to capture a video image of an asteroid passing in front of a star. The astronomical event, called an occultation, is rare and difficult to observe, and the astronomers' ability to observe it required a great deal of skill — so much skill that an international astronomy magazine profiled their work online.
Neil deGrasse Tyson visits U of M for first Canadian University appearance
Neil deGrasse Tyson, acclaimed astrophysicist and television personality, gave his first lecture at a Canadian university — the University of Manitoba — on March 13 to more than 3,000, rather raucous, people. The cheering when he came out on stage was similar to what you'd hear at a rock concert. Science is indeed cool.
A model rocket lifts off
Space Camp 2014
Tuesday, July 15 was an exciting afternoon at the 2014 Space Adventure Camp at the University of Manitoba as participants took to the skies with rockets and drones. Earlier in the week the Space Campers constructed model rockets which were sent soaring hundreds of meters into the air (with the assistance of a little rocket fuel).
David Barnard speaks at Magellan Aerospace
U of M enters partnership with Magellan Aerospace to build satellites
The Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification has announced $2.4 million in support to the University of Manitoba towards establishing a world class satellite integration facility. The Magellan Aerospace / University of Manitoba Advanced Satellite Integration Facility (ASIF) will be used for research, development and the construction and testing of satellite components.

Rotimi Ojo working with NASA on remote sensing of soil moisture, now on PhD research
"The timing is excellent, because NASA has begun work on a satellite that will take global soil moisture readings, and they've asked for my collaboration. Their satellite can only sense a few inches below the surface but I'll take deeper readings for them to create a more complete picture."
Our resident astronomy expert, Chris Rutkowski, has also collected some of the most incredible stories of space exploration of 2014. The final frontier was a fascinating place this past year.
SpaceX crash
A lot of hope and expectation has been placed on the commercialization of space. When SpaceX was to send its first payload to the International Space Station, this would have heralded the new era of space exploration and development. What will this mean to private spaceflight?
New Horizons spacecraft now nearing Pluto
This spacecraft was sent to Pluto when it was still considered a planet! It's been ten years en route and will in a matter of about eight months give our first good look at what was once our most distant (but still not an exoplanet) Solar System companion.
Orion spacecraft successful test flight
NASA's replacement heavy-lifting body finally completed its first test flight. After the Space Shuttle program wound down, NASA needed something for our next step into the universe. This is the spacecraft that will be used when humans head for Mars in about 15 to 20 years.
Rosetta's Philae Lander touches down on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
When Rosetta landed on a comet, it marked a significant milestone in that it was the first landing on an astronomical body that wasn't a planet or moon. Sure, it bounced and ended up tucked underneath an overhanging rock so that its batteries died two days after it got there, but it was still a remarkable feat of engineering.
Two astronomy-related films nominated for Golden Globes (Interstellar and Theory of Everything)
For Hollywood to have two astronomy-films in theatres in time for the major awards (including the Oscars) is pretty rare. Interstellar is about humans' eventual destiny in space, whereas The Theory of Everything is the biopic of Stephen Hawking, the guy who imagined the universe.
Chris Rutkowski is a Canadian science writer and educator with a background in astronomy who's been studying reports of UFOs and writing about his investigations and research since the mid-1970s.

Digital Democracy: government transparency website keeps track of state legislators
Home » Digital Democracy: government transparency website keeps track of state legislators
BY: ELIJAH BASSETT
If the workings of your own government seem distant and obscure to you, you're not alone. But if you're living in California or New York, a new accountability platform called Digital Democracy wants to enlighten you about what goes on in your state legislature.
The site lets you watch full hearings and uses artificial intelligence to create transcripts of everything that's said during the meetings. Its search function also lets you look up speakers, organizations, bills, hearings, and committees. The information is organized to let you find out key points of what politicians are up to, including histories of donations and gifts from organizations to lawmakers.
It was started by former California senator Sam Blakeslee, along with students from California Polytechnic University, as a response to the lack of transparency in local government, and this transparency will be more important now than ever. As Wired points out, Trump's plans to roll back federal legislation in a wide range of contexts will put the onus on state legislatures to decide what they want to do about the situations covered by these former laws. According to Blakeslee, "this is a perfect moment if you want to make a difference to engage in the politics in your state."
In fact, it's not activists, but journalists who are making the most use of the platform, because of its database-like presentation – not to mention the dryness of the content. Even its co-founder Gavin Newsom, also lieutenant governor of California, calls it a "data-dump," so it will mostly appeal to people who are already politically engaged. Still, we can hope that that audience grows, especially given many Americans' shaken trust in politicians, government, and more mediated forms of information like social media.
Since this platform doesn't offer any commentary on the data it presents, it puts the power of interpretation in the hands of the readers, which could be powerful in a media environment where people are worried about being led astray by misinformation and other people's agendas.
According to Wired, California Polytechnic students are also working on a way to run their transcripts through a tool called ClaimBuster, which detects statements of fact, and then send these claims to Politifact to be fact-checked. This will further strengthen the government transparency that the site strives for, making it a valuable tool for the engaged citizen.
Digital Democracy is also planning on expanding to Florida and Texas in the near future.

Behind the Blend Wall
Published on: 14:10PM Dec 01, 2009
by Jeanne Bernick
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today it is preparing to raise the limit on ethanol in gasoline from 10% to 15%, effectively breaking down a blend wall that has stymied ethanol demand and growth. The approval is contingent on completion of final testing by early next year.
As the blend wall crumbles, expect to see the powerful ethanol industry group Growth Energy standing behind it. The lobbying organization has been pushing to break the blend wall for well over a year now. As Tom Buis, president of Growth Energy has said: "We made the case."
Growth Energy employs such powerhouse figures as former four-star Gen. Wesley Clark, and is supported by POET, the world's largest ethanol producer, along with 54 member ethanol plants. At the same time, Growth Energy is grassroots, working through its web site to encourage new "friends" of ethanol.
One of my favorite thing about Growth Energy is its Truth Squad, a group of people engaged in responding to blogs that hate on ethanol. Growth Energy has provided a list of blogs for followers to watch and reply to, and Truth Squad members are urged to keep their replies "civil and factual" and based on science and research.
Gen. Clark and Growth Energy may have started tearing down the blend wall, but make no mistake there are bigger battles ahead in the Washington lobbying war for ethanol.

HM PREMIERE: The Restitution paves path with full album stream of 'Into the Dark'
Today, HM is proud to premiere the full album stream of The Restitution's sophomore album, Into the Dark. The band — a moniker for the solo project of musician Michael Wright — sought out to explore the brokenness of human connection through the music and lyrics of the work; the album spent over four years in the making.
Wright spoke about the album:
"Humans need each other by nature, but we live in a society where we are unwittingly making it easier to live without each other, and thereby harder to live with each other. This is something that has affected me deeply, and is really what this record is about."
The album was also produced, engineered and mixed by Wright, recorded at It's a Trap! Recording.
Fans of the work can purchase the piece over at the band's Bandcamp page.

Global Infrastructure Fund 10/2018
Ninepoint Global Infrastructure Fund
October 2018 Commentary
Year-to-date to October 31, the Ninepoint Global Infrastructure Fund generated a total return of -3.68% compared to the S&P Global Infrastructure Index, which generated a total return of -4.12% and our new benchmark the MSCI World Core Infrastructure Index, which generated a total return of 2.98%. Note that we have changed our benchmark purely for administrative reasons, but unfortunately it does make our year-to-date returns appear significantly worse on a relative basis.
Returns in the month of October were disappointing on an absolute and relative basis, with the Fund generating a total return of -5.86% while the S&P Global Infrastructure Index generated a total return of -2.14% and the MSCI World Core Infrastructure Index generated a total return of -1.33%. In October, the US 10-year bond yield rallied from 3.06% to 3.16%, remaining above the key psychological level of 3.0%, which acted as a headwind for the equity markets. Our positioning in the Industrials, Energy and Information Technology sectors detracted from performance during the month. Conversely, our holdings in the Communications and Financials sectors generated gains. Note that we have begun to reduce our Energy weightings and increase our Utilities weightings, rotating to move more in line with our new benchmark. Finally, currency hedging detracted from performance in October as the CAD weakened despite the successful negotiation of the USMCA trade deal.
October 2018 will be remembered for the dramatic correction in the equity markets, with the S&P 500 falling 10.6% to an intraday low on October 29, before rebounding. The list of potential factors or causes of the correction have been well documented (including a more-hawkish than expected FED tone that led to higher rate expectations, a deteriorating US-China relationship that led to the enactment of trade tariffs, wage and materials cost inflation that led to margin compression in various earnings reports and the looming US midterm elections that led to political uncertainty) but, in realty, no single factor can be blamed.
Whatever the trigger, aggressive positioning in crowded high-growth and high-multiple stocks was unwound and the entire market de-rated. Broadly speaking, rising rates and uncertainty imply lower P/E multiples but consider the following scenarios for the S&P 500 based on forward earnings estimates: 15x $178 = 2,670 (seems unlikely since earnings growth remains positive in 2019), 16x $178 = 2,850 (very reasonable), 17x $178 = 3,025 (quite possible) or 18x $178 = 3,200 (seems unlikely without an improvement in either the FED's tone or US-China trade rhetoric).
Therefore, we believe that it is too early to position for an outright downturn and expect markets to end the year higher than today. Positive seasonality for the markets should kick in (gains in November and December occur 75% of the time based on data from the past twenty years), the midterm elections proved to be benign (on average markets rally 7% from August 31 to year-end around midterms based on history) and earnings expectations and market valuations have been reset to reasonable levels.
Our modelling indicates that the Canadian dollar is roughly fairly-valued. However, the equity market selloff has introduced a new level of complexity to our FX analysis as prior correlations become less statistically significant. We have therefore maintained hedges on half of our USD/CAD exposure to reduce volatility in the Fund.
Top contributors to the year-to-date performance of the Ninepoint Global Infrastructure Fund included Parkland Fuel (+186 bps), MasterCard (+111 bps) and CSX Corporation (+94 bps). Top detractors year-to-date included Westshore Terminals (-61 bps), Mastec (-55 bps) and Williams Companies (-46 bps).
The Ninepoint Global Infrastructure Fund was concentrated in 30 positions as at October 31, 2018 with the top 10 holdings accounting for approximately 39.7% of the fund. Over the prior fiscal year, 24 out of our 30 holdings have announced a dividend increase, with an average hike of 8.9%. Using a total infrastructure approach, we will continue to apply a disciplined investment process, balancing valuation, growth and yield in an effort to generate solid risk-adjusted returns.

The Railway Children / Swallows and Amazons (1970)
Claude Whatham, Lionel Jeffries
Ronald Fraser, Virginia McKenna, Sally Thomsett, Bernard Cribbins, Dinah Sheridan, Jenny Agutter
Action-Adventure, UK Classics, Family
The Railway Children: Edith Nesbit's 1906 novel The Railway Children was adapted for the big screen in 1970 by Lionel Jeffries when he directed the classic film version which has been loved by children and adults alike ever since. When their father mysteriously disappears and is rumoured to have been imprisoned for spying, the three children and their mother have to move to a modest cottage in the Yorkshire countryside. Led by eldest daughter Bobbie (Jenny Agutter) they develop a fascination with the railway that runs nearby. This interest brings new and unlikely friendships as well as several exciting and dangerous adventures, but when the children are faced with a terrible crisis can they save the railway and prove their father's innocence as well? Swallows And Amazons: Set in the Lake District during the glorious summer of 1929, Arthur Ransome's timeless tale is the bright, breezy and colourful story of six children who spend an idyllic summer messing about in boats. As the narrative develops, their friendly rivalry becomes filled with imaginary dangers and thoughts of piracy which culminate in an exciting and suspense-filled conclusion. Based on one of the best-loved children's novels of all time, this enchanting film recaptures the carefree innocence of a lost era.

USS Rendova (CVE-114) Areas With Asbestos Exposure
The USS Rendova (CVE-114) was a Commencement Bay-class escort carrier laid down on June 15, 1944, and launched on December 29, the same year. It was commissioned on October 22, 1945, with the hull number CVE-114 under Capt. R. W. Ruble's command and served in the US Navy for 9 years until it was decommissioned on June 30, 1955. During its activity, the ship carried a complement of 1066 men on board and had its main missions in San Diego, Hawaii, San Francisco, Turkey, Panama, Suez, Tsingtao, Okinawa, Bremerton, and Korea. After the decommissioning, the ship was struck from the Navy List on April 1, 1971.
Asbestos exposure primarily results from inhalation of air containing microscopic asbestos fibers. Small-diameter asbestos fibers get into the air when manipulated, submitted to mechanical pressure, damaged, disturbed, or removed. When fiber-containing particles remain suspended in the air, it can take many hours to settle on horizontal surfaces, posing a constant and invisible health hazard.
Everyone who served on the USS Rendova (CVE-114) inhaled the asbestos fibers and is at risk for developing lung disease

Sale of Finca in Caniles
Finca in Caniles, Spain
Price : €3,750,000 (£3,133,988)
Reference : MATJL1000
***954 HECTARES OF LICENSED BIG GAME HUNTING LAND***
Finca la Semana incorporates twelve farms with over 27 buildings dotted across this vast country estate. The majority of which were constructed using beautifully coloured local stones, sadly few of these buildings remain intact due to neglect but the 'print' size of each of the farms suggest that all of the main farm houses would make a four to six bedroom dwelling with additional out buildings to convert to smaller dwellings (1 or 2 bedroom chalets).
The agricultural land through the valley produces vast quantities of onions, potatoes, tomatoes, courgettes, sweet corn, lettuce and there are also many grapevines. The quality of the soil is extremely rich and as it's fed by mountain water Nitrate contamination would be non existent (soil analysis would be required for an organic certificate).
There's an abundance of water available and all the farm land has irrigation from water deposits, wells, irrigation channels or more modern irrigation pipes laid on the surface of the land to trickle feed when required.
The property has a big game hunting license which is a rare commodity to find now, this allows the hunting of wild boar & deer as well as the usual small game hunting of partridge, hares and pigeons. Please contact our office for further information and photographs.

Special Loan: John Singer Sargent's "Fishing Boats at Whitby"
John Witty, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow
A Summer Interlude by a Young Artist
In the summer of 1884, John Singer Sargent was at a pivotal moment in his career. Leaving Paris and scandal behind him following the unfavorable reception of his portrait Madame X, he retreated to England to reevaluate his next steps. He spent the month of August in Sussex, at the homes of his patrons, the wealthy industrialist brothers Albert and Thomas Vickers. (Sargent would eventually paint thirteen members of the Vickers family.) The diary of Frances Vickers, Thomas's wife, records an outing to the seaside village of Whitby, on August 29. While visiting the historic resort town with his hosts, Sargent painted Fishing Boats at Whitby, a small seascape that captures the atmosphere of a cloudy late summer's day. This painting is on view at the Frick through August, a generous loan from the collection of Trustee Margot Bogert and her husband, Jerry.
Fishing Boats at Whitby affords the opportunity to look over the shoulder of a young artist in the process of developing his signature style. Sargent literally turned his back on some of the town's more notable features, including a picturesque harbor and the ruins of a thirteenth-century abbey that would later inspire the setting for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). He instead focused on the changing atmosphere of the scene before him. With a horizon that bisects the composition just below center, the quick study is a pared-down vision of shore, sea, and sky. Sargent represents the calm waters with a uniform application of a light blue-gray pigment. In the sky above, the artist layered thick brushstrokes of white over thin base layers of a gray hue — close to the color of the sea, but whiter. At the top of the composition, this tonal variation builds up into the thicker applications of white paint that suggest clouds. In the lower half of the painting, Sargent's sparse, deftly applied brushstrokes create the effect of waves gently breaking on a sand beach. The delicate washes of the waves allow the brown sand to show through, suggesting the water's transparency. The painting's subtle variations are interrupted by angular black forms along the horizon, meant to represent cobles, flat-bottomed fishing boats commonly used along the northeastern coast of England.
Sargent painted Fishing Boats at Whitby only two months after he submitted Madame X to the Paris Salon. The infamous portrait of the New Orleans–born Virginie Gautreau, today one of the artist's best-known works, represents his modern interpretation of the French academic tradition, developed in the Paris studio of his teacher Carolus-Duran. Sargent's portrait of Thomas Vickers's three daughters (Weston Park Museum, Museums Sheffield), also painted in 1884, shares some of the signature features of Madame X, notably the unusually tense poses of the young women and their placement against a shadowy, indeterminate background.
It is tempting to imagine Fishing Boats at Whitby as a moment of escape for the artist after the fraught reception of Madame X. Briefly liberated from the task of portraiture, Sargent devoted his attention to the shifting light of a cloudy day — the kind of impressionistic pursuit that he would explore with great success in future works, specifically Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (Tate Gallery, London), painted the following year. Perhaps the fact that he dedicated Whitby to his hostess Edith Vickers, with an inscription at the bottom right of the composition, is an expression of his enjoyment of the relaxed afternoon of painting en plein air.
Raised by an American family that moved between the fashionable cities of Europe, Sargent lived at the confluence of American, English, and Continental artistic tastes. By 1884, he had mastered his teacher's modern interpretation of the French academic tradition, but also was drawn to Impressionism's more radical approach and the charms of the British Aesthetic movement. One artist that Sargent could look to for inspiration in this varied cultural and aesthetic landscape was James McNeill Whistler, a fellow American some twenty years his senior. Admired for his original style, Whistler was a fixture in the artistic circles of Paris and London, as Sargent would one day be.
Fishing Boats at Whitby is displayed near a seascape by Whistler, Symphony in Gray and Green: The Ocean. Whistler painted The Ocean in 1866 in Chile, where he had traveled to support the country's fight against Spain during the Chincha Islands War. While it is unlikely that Sargent ever saw the canvas, he would have been familiar with Whistler's body of work, and Fishing Boats at Whitby reflects his engagement with the older painter's approach. Thanks to Margot and Jerry Bogert, it is possible this summer to contemplate two American expatriate artists' explorations of the light of foreign shores.
