Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

THIS month marks the 50th birthday of the Church of the Ascension.

Over the past half a century, the site on Warren Lane in Woolston has become a focal point for the community.

And to celebrate the anniversary, we have taken a look back at its history.

The cutting of the first sod in preparation for building work to commence was made on May 19 1968, with the daughter of Edward Gorton a businessman and philanthropist who donated the plot of land for the construction of a church in 1917 doing the honours.

On September 15 that year, Reverend James Oliver Colling laid the foundation stone during a service.

Fast forward nearly two years to May 7 1970, and the Church of the Ascension was finally complete.

The Rt Reverend Stuart Blanch, Bishop of Liverpool, opened the building to coincide with Ascension Day and a series of events were held to celebrate the occasion over the following weeks.

This Consecration Festival included a performance for the Liverpool Concertante and Southport Bach Society, a first communion and baptism, evensong with the Archdeacon of Warrington, an organ recital, a choral concert by pupils at Woolston County Primary School and a gig by folk band the Spinners.

A series of events had been planned to commemorate the 50th, but these will now take place later in the year.

An outdoor exhibition of its history is currently being held in the meantime.

The church has also received a grant from the National Lotterys heritage fund in order to carry out repairs.

A spokesman said: "As lucky as we have been to receive this grant, we still have a large amount of money to raise in order to achieve our goals and ensure that the Church of Ascension will be around in another 50 years and more."

The week in pictures: Cork's first steps on the road back from coronavirus - Echo Live

We thought we had it all figured out.For maximum flavour, tomatoes shouldnot go in the fridge with other fruit. It's what the science seemed to show. Except now, it seems there's a juicy alternative.

A contentious new study suggests it might not matter where we put this fruit so long as it's picked when ripe. Whether in a fridge or a bowl, the data seem to show the tomato will taste the same.

Bringing together a panel of experienced tomato tasters, researchers had the experts assess several breeds and cross-breeds of tomatoes, each of which was stored for four days at room temperature, or four days in the fridge at 7 C (44F).

During this process,the panel was trained to objectively score slices of tomato against a list of eight attributes, including colour, sweetness, sourness, aftertaste, and juiciness.

Contrary to what you'd expect, in the end the panel could not detect any flavour difference between tomatoes kept in the fridge and those left at room temperature.

In addition to the tongues of a dozen human experts, the team put the tomatoes through a run of other lab tests to measure volatiles, carotenoid levels, and sugar concentrations. They even used a fancy ASTREE Electronic Tongue for good measure.

"The shorter the storage period, the better it is for the flavour and related attributes," says crop scientist Elke Pawelzik from the University of Gttingen in Germany.

"However, we were able to show that, taking into account the entire post-harvest chain, short-term storage of ripe tomatoes in the refrigerator did not affect the flavour."

Unlike previous studies, which found refrigeration had a negative impact on a tomato's flavour, the fruits used in Pawelzik's research were tracked throughout the post-harvest process.

This means the tomatoes were harvested ripe, spent one day at the distributor and then two days at the retailer before finding their way to the kitchen (or in this case, the lab).

This could be a reason why the new study has found such different results to previous data. It could also be that the tomatoes in this updated research were not kept in the fridge for as long as other studies, which lasted a week or so.

But there is another explanation. The fact that refrigerated tomatoes didn't taste any different may also have something to do with the actual variety of tomato.

"Our results indicate that the behaviour of the fruit during cold storage (7C) is also strongly dependent on the cultivar/breeding line," the authors write.

"For example, the up- or down-regulation and restoration of volatiles... underlines the great impact of the cultivar on the flavor of the fruits and the acceptance by the consumer."

These volatile compounds are what's thought to contribute to a tomato's flavour, and in the past,studies have suggested refrigeration dramatically reducestheir presence.

But perhaps that's more the genes talking. People say they've noticed tomatoes have gotten less flavourful and juicy over the years, and research has shown modern cultivars are not well liked, even when they are harvested fully ripe and transported under ideal conditions. So, essentially, perhaps the fridge is not to blame at all.

It's an interesting idea, but further research needs to be done to figure out exactly how to store tomatoes best. Perhaps cold storage is a good thing, but only for a few days. Or maybe it doesn't matter at all and what we should really be doing is coming up with a better tomato itself.

"We showed that flavor is severely dependent on the cultivar and that crossing cultivars with enhanced flavor perception is a valuable step to improve flavor perception," the authors write.

"The next step is to look on the entire transportation route from the producer to the consumer, finding a way to preserve the flavor of the tomato fruits."

The study was published in Frontiers in Plant Science.

Is an ice machine a worthy addition to your office break room - NextRankers

Despite a brief dalliance with Devonta Freeman, Carlos Hyde became the latest addition to the Seattle Seahawks backfield on Friday. Was Hyde the right running back for the Seahawks, or will they regret failing to land Freeman?

Although Seattle racked up 2,700 rushing yards in 2019, by the end of last year the Seahawks backfield was a mess. With injuries to Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, and C.J. Prosise, the roster more closely resembled the University of Washington Medical Center emergency room than the Seahawks running back room.

Marshawn Lynch made a return to Seattle late last year and general manager John Schneider hasnt ruled out a return in 2020 for the Seahawks legend.

However, the Seahawks backfield remained devoid of veteran leadership ahead of training camp. Before Friday, the Seahawks running back room consisted of three rookies, second-year back Travis Homer, plus Carson and Penny.

With the latter two both recovering from injury, and with Penny looking doubtful to be ready for the start of the season, the Seahawks swooped to add another piece to the backfield.

After talks with Freeman collapsed, Hyde signed a one-year deal worth $4 million. The Seahawks had offered the same deal to the former Atlanta Falcons running back, but Freeman seems happy to sit for a season in order to negotiate a deal that he feels fits his worth.

The Seahawks looked destined to sign Freeman for the longest time, but does Hyde represent the better option?

Using a combination of Pro Football Networks Offensive Share Metric (OSM) and NFL Next Gen Stats we can show that although it is a close-fought battle, Hyde is the better option for the Seahawks backfield heading into 2020.

OSM helps us to break through the usual barometers for success on the football field to see how much a play contributes individually to a teams offensive results. For the running back position, that barometer would be rushing yards and touchdowns. However, having high numbers of either doesnt tell the full story of a single players production.

Hyde and Freeman had similar overall OSM grades for the 2019 season. Hyde was our 29th ranked running back with a grade of 13.05 with Freeman coming in just behind him with a grade of 12.50 as our RB30. Both players were below the average running back overall grade of 14.39.

Although their grades were extremely close, there was a large disparity between their production in 2019. Hyde secured his first 1,000-yard season on a career-high 245 carries. Freeman struggled to 656 yards and a career-low 3.6 yards per carry.

Hyde was more consistent throughout the season whereas Freeman had multiple games where his OSM grade was below 10, indicating that his performance was detrimental to the overall success of the Falcons offense.

The NFL is a league of recency bias. From a rushing yards and OSM perspective the 2019 season shows that Hyde is the better option for the Seahawks backfield than Freeman. What does a broader look show us?

Related OSM Back to the Future: Chester Rogers top-ranked performance from 2017

We can use Next Gen Stats and OSM going back to the 2016 season to paint a bigger picture.

Freeman put up 1,079 rushing yards in 2016, at 4.8 yards per carry, for 11 touchdowns in 2016. His OSM grade that year was 19.77 making him our RB8 and scoring well above the league average of 15.64. His yards per carry saw him ranked 11th out of 53 qualifying running backs.

Since then, Freeman has shown a decline in every season. He lost a season to injury in 2018 but his decline had already begun in 2017. His OSM grade slipped to 16.13, below the league average and his yards per carry fell to 4.4, ranking him 11th out of 50. This trend continued in 2019 where his 3.6 YPC left him ranked 46thout of 48 running backs.

The same decline is seen in his running back efficiency. Efficiency is measured by how many yards a player travels to gain a yard on the field. Freeman has never been the most efficient back in the NFL but has dropped from 4.05 yards to 4.59 yards between 2016 and 2019. Last season, he was the least efficient running back in the NFL.

By contrast, Hyde ranked 10th in running back efficiency in 2019, higher than in 2016 when his 3.84 yards saw him ranked 13th. His yards per carry of 4.4 was the second-highest of his career, with a high of 4.6 in 2016. Like Freeman, he too had shown year on year decline since 2016 in both metrics, and in 2018 he had ranked 50thout of 55 in running back efficiency.

Unlike Freeman, Hydes OSM grade had been below the league average in 2016 at 12.55. In 2017 and 2018, however, he was above the league average. Hyde ranked as our RB15 in 2017. Despite a torrid year split between the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018, he still ranked as our RB24 with an OSM grade of 15.30.

Hyde would have led the Seahawks backfield by OSM in both 2018 and 2016. Seattle led the NFL in rushing yards in 2018 but Carson (15.25), Mike Davis (13.20), and Penny (10.35) all received lower OSM grades than Hyde, as did Thomas Rawls (12.46) in 2016.

No one is expecting Hyde to come in and lead the Seahawks backfield, but he represents better value as a rotational piece than Freeman. Despite having the best deep passer in the NFL in Russell Wilson, the Seahawks are a team committed to running the ball under Pete Carroll and as such could well be the perfect fit for Hyde to prove himself on a one-year prove it deal.

Each offseason, all 32 NFL clubs go through their own form of changes on way or another. Whether it be widespread changes along the locker room, coaching staff, or front office, or more subtle adjustments to a team's current direction, change is inevitable.

For the AFC South, the 2020 offseason representing several major moves for each team. Whether it be the addition of a new coach, star player, or a change in operations, there were more than a few changes. But the question is, which offseason moves will be the most impactful?

In an effort to get a feel for each of the best movies in the Jaguars' division, we have gathered information from each of the AFC South's Maven team sites as part of a new weekly series where we will go through a different topic each week.

Indianapolis

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard stepped out of his trade-back-for-more-picks comfort zone when he parted with his first-round selection, 13th overall, to acquire defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from San Francisco in March. Eyebrows raised because the Colts dont usually make big splashes in free agency and Ballard, in four drafts, has traded back in nine of 12 deals.

What made Buckner the exception? Or as Ballard said of the decision, a no-brainer. Turn on the last Super Bowl and watch how the 2019 All-Pro second-teamer was throwing around Kansas City blockers. Buckner plays the three-technique on the defensive line, which is the engine for the Colts defense. Lately, that engine has kept running on spare parts. Buckner, who for his 6-7 and 300-pound size is a bit of a freak in his ability to rush the passer and stop the run, more than qualifies as a major upgrade. Its an entirely new engine.

Thats also why Ballard did something else unusual he gave Buckner a four-year, $84-million extension. So this 26-year-old defender is signed through 2024. That means weakside linebacker Darius Leonard, a tackle machine with 284 total stops in two seasons, will get to play more like his Maniac nickname because Buckner should keep blockers off his All-Pro teammate.

Why would the 49ers trade Buckner? On a loaded defense with young talent, including 2019 NFL Rookie of the Year defensive end Nick Bosa, general manager John Lynch decided to give defensive tackle Arik Armstead a five-year contract that could reach $85 million. Lynch didnt think he could afford two lucrative deals, and with Buckner due to get paid in a year on his rookie contract, it made sense for the 49ers to get what they could for him now. Lynch then pulled a Ballard by trading back one spot from No. 13 which basically equated to a later-round pick improving from the seventh round to the fourth and selected South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw at No. 14.

Houston

The Texans' best move is head coach Bill O'Brien unplugging from the offensive side of the football and turning the keys and play-calling duties to first-year coordinator Tim Kelly. Add in new defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. The Texans have two new coordinators for the first time during the O'Brien Era.

It will only be the second time during O'Brien's tenure that he will not call plays. The last time was during the 2015 season. The change will allow O'Brien to be a head coach and keep a pulse on the team by letting his coordinators and position coaches do their jobs with the players.

Last season, there were times when O'Brien looked flustered on the sideline dealing with the offense and trying to be a head coach at the same time. Game days will be the most significant help for O'Brien, allowing him to monitor the game and steer the ship in terms of game flow with his coordinators.

O'Brien had so much on his plate last season with the start of his general manager duties, head coach, and running the offense, now with him no longer calling plays. It will no doubt help the Texans have a clearer picture when the regular season arrives.

--State of the Texans

Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a lot of major moves this offseason, though most came at the expense of overhauling the roster and attempting to reshape the locker room and draft capital moving forward. With that said, there is one addition the Jaguars made which could pay off in a big way early on: hiring Jay Gruden as offensive coordinator.

Just in terms of his experience and track record, Gruden is a massive upgrade at play-caller compared to John DeFilippo, Nate Hackett, Greg Olson, and Jedd Fisch, each of the Jaguars coordinators before him. Gruden has worked extensively with young quarterbacks in the past, helping mold Andy Dalton in his first three seasons in Cincinnati and then aiding Kirk Cousins in his development as a starter in Washington. Quarterback Gardner Minshew has a similar skill set to both of these passers, so realistically Gruden is a good match for what he brings to the table as a passer.

Too often in 2019, Minshew and the Jaguars' offense weren't set up for success. DeFilippo's approach to play-calling simply didn't get the job done, and it was clear Minshew would need a more established coordinator to thrive in his second season. With the Jaguars' entire 2020 relying on Minshew's performance, it was critical for the Jaguars to find a play-caller who could help guide him through the murky waters of the NFL. In Gruden, they did just that.

-- John Shipley, JaguarReport

Tennessee

The Titans had some difficult decisions to make this offseason, including whether or not to get involved in the Tom Brady free agency saga (they did not). Without question, though, their best move was to use the franchise tag to retain running back Derrick Henry.

General manager Jon Robinson chose not to (or did not need to) use a franchise or transition tag in any of his first four years on the job. Henry forced him to do something different because A) Tennessee cannot afford to be without the fifth-year running back and B) no one can say for sure what is his actual value following a season in which he led the NFL rushing (1,540 yards) and was a dominant figure throughout the first two weeks of the postseason.

Henry is atypical of the modern running back because he does not figure prominently in the passing game (57 receptions in four seasons). So, you cant exactly use Christian McCaffrey, LeVeon Bell, or Melvin Gordon for comparison. Ezekiel Elliott is the most similar, but Henry has only performed for the last 20 weeks of regular-season play at the sort of elite level Elliott has for four years.

The tag (the Titans chose a non-exclusive franchise tender) set a price for 2020. Even more important, it did not alienate Henry, who signed the deal in early April. Thus, the move took pressure off all involved, who now have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal or they get another full season to evaluate.

On Monday, May 18 the Langdon Area School Board outlined the plans for the graduation ceremony and the reopening of school grounds. Open only to immediate family of graduating students, the graduation ceremonies will be held at the Dakota Spirit Arena. To organize a safe environment for all participants several special guidelines will be enacted. All speeches from senior students as well as choir audio will be recorded prior. This ensures microphones will not be shared by multiple people. A senior video and separate scholarship video have also been prepared. In addition, the arrival and departure of guests will be organized by scheduled times. Masks are preferred but will not be mandatory unless a rash of cases were to materialize in Cavalier County.

Currently, the campus is still closed until June 1 by an executive order from the governor. Then, the decision to reopen will be left to the board's discretion. Daren Christianson noted they are planning on opening the track to the public at that time. The playground, however, may remained closed due to the complication of disinfecting equipment efficiently.

Tentatively, theres a chance student-directed activities will resume June 1st as well. In addition to drivers education, ideas proposed were organizing groups for weight room activities or open gym at the high school. If permitted, these activities would still need to adhere to proper social distancing protocols. This would mean maintaining a six-foot distance from other individuals. If six feet is breached during activities, such as spotting during weight lifting, a mask by both participants would be required. In addition, no more than fifteen people may be allowed in any one room at a time. This rule would reflect that fourteen students could participate per one instructor. Disinfecting weight room equipment after each use was also mentioned. These guidelines are just an outline going forward. Additional precautions may be enlisted to protect student health. It was stressed, the school should be ready June 1st but only to groups that prepare and submit a proper disinfection plan to administration.

Currently, there are 18 students enrolled in the summer high school physical education program and 20 signed up for the drivers education program. Enrollment for both of these programs is still open. Families are encouraged to contact the school if interested.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has outlined a range of new remote collaboration tools for the company's professional Workplace platform, including video chat Rooms and new ways to connect via Portal.

Here's a look a how Facebook's working to cater to the rising demand for WFH tools.

First off, Facebook's expanding its new Messenger Rooms to Workplace, with Workplace Rooms.

As explained by Facebook:

"Workplace Roomsis a secure and easy way for coworkers to get things done and stay connected when they cant be together in person. Its a meeting space with unlimited time, where you can invite up to 50 people to a video call even if theyre not in your company or dont have a Workplace account."

Note the 'unlimited time' jab at Zoom.

Facebook has been slowly expanding the rollout of Messenger Rooms into more regions over the past few weeks, while it's also added Rooms for Groups and Events. And given the rising popularity of Zoom and Google Meet, Workplace Rooms makes sense, providing a dedicated video meeting tool within the company's business tools.

Facebook also notes that Workplace Rooms will facilitate screen sharing, while users will also be able to lock their Rooms to prevent others from joining.

"For security, a new link is generated every time you create a room, and links cannot be used again once they have expired."

It's still too early to say whether Rooms, in general, will be a challenger for the existing video meeting tools on the market, but for people already using Workplace, it could be a handy addition.

At the same time, Facebook's also looking boost awareness of Work Groups, which it released last November.

Work groups exist on the main Facebook app, and aim to facilitate more collaboration with colleagues on the social network,ideally to help organize shift swaps and the like. Facebook says that there are now more than 20 million active monthly users across 170,000 active Work Groups on Facebook.

Facebook's also expanding its new Live Producer tools to Workplace, which will enable users to live-stream from their desktop, and with professional video tools, if they so choose.

Facebook launched Live Producer for its main app back in March, providing options to create more polished, professional-looking live-streams, with the capacity, as noted, to integrate third-party tools, and add in graphic overlays, polls, and other on-screen features as you stream.

Live Producer for Workplace replicates the same functionality, which could be great for streaming announcements to staff - especially in conjunction with the Q&A featureFacebook announced last month, which enables Workplace users to ask, and vote on questions in-stream.

In addition to this, Facebook Live Producer for Workplace will also come with automatic translation options:

"You can turn on automatic captions for live videos in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Workplace will also automatically translate videos in one of these languages into the other five, so employees around the world can follow along."

That could be especially handy for large corporations.

Facebook's also looking to provide more ways for professionals to connect via Portal, its smart home video calling device.

Ideal for people working from home - which, right now, is virtually every office worker -the new connectivity options will provide additional ways to conduct virtual meetings via the Portal camera, while Facebook's also adding a new wayto watch Workplace Live on Portal

"...so you can follow whats happening on a second screen while taking notes on your computer. And if you want these features on an even bigger screen, youll be able to use Portal TV for Workplace calls and videos starting next month."

Sales of Facebook's Portal device have increased more than 10x during COVID-19,so much so that Facebook is now struggling to keep up with demand. When Portal was initially launched, consumers seemed uncertain about adding a Facebook-originated camera into their homes, but now, with convenient features like these, and new options to connect via video, those privacy concerns seem to have largely been nullified.

Utility wins out over privacy yet again.

In addition to these new tools for Workplace, Facebook has also pointed to the next generation of virtual collaboration - in actual virtual reality.

Facebook outlined some of these tools in a blog post from Oculus last week, which looked at the rising use cases for VR. As you can see in this image, VR collaboration tools could eventually simulate being in the workplace alongside colleagues, with expanded functionality in the virtual space - which could have a transformative impact on remote work.

Facebook says that many companies are already utilizing this capacity:

"Salespeople at Nestle Purina are using VR to visualize retail displays and gather sales teams while reducing travel. Johnson & Johnson Institute is training surgeons with Oculus and helping improve patient outcomes. Employees at Hilton are using interactive simulations to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of hotel operations."

Catering to this, Facebook has now launched theOculus for Business platform, which will provide tools to facilitate and manage VR deployments.

VR is still some way from being a broadly adopted virtual collaboration tool, but with the rising shift to working from home, which will likely extend beyond the COVID-19 lockdowns, you can see where things are headed. This is likely to become a more relevant consideration, for many more organizations, over time.

In addition to these updates, Facebook has also reported that Workplace is now up to 5 million paid users up from the 3 million paid users Facebook reported last October.

Like Portal, when Workplace was first announced, there was a lot of hesitancy from professionals with respect to letting Facebook into their business, and giving Facebook access to sensitive information. But again, convenience trumps privacy, and with Workplace replicating the same interactive tools that people are familiar with in their every day social activity, it makes sense to integrate them across, as opposed to trying to train staff on entirely new internal collaboration systems and networks.

And with the shift to remote work being accelerated due to COVID-19, you can expect more businesses to make this a permanent focus. We now know that many people are able to work from home, and remain productive, and tools like Workplace help to facilitate such.

With new video connection tools, and maybe, with the next shift to VR, you can expect that Workplace will continue to gain momentum.
