The next level is just a step away.
By utilizing a high-quality payment processor, you can achieve those high results you always expected when you initially started your business. However, many payment processing systems often come with high fees and rates, clunky design mechanics, and a lot of fine print.
By using a partner like PayCo Card, you can receive a concise and straightforward payment processing solution. Get the system you want with the design features you need to really take your business up to a new level.
How exactly can a great payment processor take your business to the next level? We have spent countless hours fine-tuning our payment processing products so that they achieve optimal results. We are confident that we can deliver an affordable and efficient payment processing system no matter what your needs are.
Below are 5 distinct benefits of how our payment processing can help your business transition into new efficiency and productivity.
Many payment processors require a contract. You stay on the service for a period of time regardless of whether or not you are satisfied with it. By the end, you may receive a tidy little bonus- perhaps in the form of a price increase.
We don't tie you into a long term contract. You use our products as you need. Being trapped in a contract hinders you, and you need to be flexible. You can opt-in and opt-out without taking a deep plunge that doesn't work for you. We understand that, and we want you to achieve those high-reaching results without the burden of a contract.
We set you up for success with competitive and low-cost payment processing. Every amount you save by using PayCo Card can go back into your business. Take the difference between your old system and our system and funnel it into your business savings and watch it grow.
The moment you receive payment from a customer, our payment processor is working to get it to your bank account quickly. You can have funds available to you often the next day. Cash flow is imperative. Without it, you can't keep the business operating at a high-level. This is why next-day funding keeps you on the cusp of the competition. Utilize the maximum funds you have and make bold moves forward.
Our intuitive and clean design for our POS systems and internet payment gateway will allow you and your team to navigate our interface with ease. Employees can place orders create reports and more without having to work through a clunky and awkward interface.
It is a surefire way to achieve better results. Process orders quicker. Change orders promptly and track all your transactions. Don't keep your customers waiting and they will return time and time again.
Choosing PayCo Card comes with many benefits. Established businesses can receive a free Clover POS from PaycoCard ($1200 value), as well as a free marketing website up to 2 pages in length ($1000 value) and other perks.

Q: Sum the values that are in the same columns in excel I want to sum the values that are in the "Time" columns but return 0

I tried the following formula:
=SUMIF(C2:H2,"Time*",C3:H3)
=SUMIF(SCRATCH031342[#Headers],"Time*",C3:H3)

A: Sum Up Numbers As Text
For the first row of data, you could use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(C$2:H$2,4)="Time"),VALUE(C3:H3))

or
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(SCRATCH031342[#Headers],4)="Time"),VALUE(C3:H3))

and copy down.
Additionally, if you'll write the results in the same row as the table row (e.g. in cell J3), you should simplify the table version with:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(SCRATCH031342[#Headers],4)="Time"),VALUE(SCRATCH031342[@]))

A: You can use:
=SUM(INDEX(C3:H4,0,MATCH(C6,C2:H2,0)))

and fill in cell C6 with the desired column name

Q: Exoplayer throw NotProvisionedException when MediaDrm.openSession() I am trying to make drm video play in exoplayer and i have custom licence request
val mediaDrm = MediaDrm(C.WIDEVINE_UUID)

val sessionId = mediaDrm.openSession()

when I run this line of code I am getting that is NotProvisionedException
I am trying to generate key by this line
mediaDrm.getKeyRequest(sessionId,listOf(schemeData),mimType)

in order to get sessionId i m writing below code
val mediaDrm = MediaDrm(C.WIDEVINE_UUID)
val sessionId = mediaDrm.openSession()

A: That error is telling you that the DRM system you are asking to create a MediaDRM object for is not provisioned on your device.
The most common cause of this is either an incorrect UUID being passed to MediaDRM or the device not actually supporting the DRM system, WideVine in your case.
You can check if your device has widvine provisioned and Laos the level of wide vine supported using the DrmManagerClient.acquireDrmInfo() method:

Note that if you are testing on an emulator DRM will usual not work correctly.


I recently listened to the brilliant Lin-Maneul Miranda talk with Oprah about creativity and his journey with Hamilton. Genius.
Lin talked about a few key points. #1 the most important quality (or only quality) you need to be a great artist is EMPATHY. We need to be able to understand, have compassion and listening of humanity. We need this to live, and we need this to make art. It is the breath of our art form and our very being.
The second point I loved was him describing the opportunity of playing Alexander Hamilton. He said that every night he got to fall in love, be empowered, impassioned, filled with life and love and change. He got to sweat and play and go toe to toe with the greats. He got to express himself fully and completely. He got to be wild and smart and revolutionary. Every single night. And NO ONE was going to write that part of Lin-Manuel Miranda to play. No one.
It makes me think of my own journey. There has never been a magical TV writer come along and say, "Natalie, what is every talent and nuance you have in your body? Let me create that for you, so you can play that on tv."
No one else is coming friends.
Only I am the author of my story. The way I live my life, take every breath, have every conversation, ride every train, each every crumb is a walking living breathing meditation on the story of ME. You are the same. Every single moment of every single day you are telling your own story. And you are the only one capable of doing so.
We must cease our OBSESSION with this industry seeing us and rewarding us. We must EMPOWER ourselves to create with our talent, our passion and even our frustration ART that is WORTH our story!
If Lin didn't have the drive to tell a story about communities and lives changing from the perspective of an immigrant with all the drive and no one's belief in him, then we would not have Hamilton. we would also not have Lin - because Hamilton''s story IS HIS STORY.
I guarantee you it is not a 5 line co-star. Or even a top of show guest star.
Your story is massive. It is an epic. And only you can write it, tell it, play it and live it. It's up to you. And it's all in you.
Every thought you think, belief you hold, action you take and feeling you feel is telling a story whether you accept it or not. Why not consciously choose to tell the story you want. And why not create art around it so you can also get paid for it and inspire and change the world? Sounds fun.
What are you were for?
As you write it here and share it with us, the seeds of its manifestation as a piece of art, a screenplay, a one man show, a poem, a song will form. Then you too can claim, "I'm not throwing away my shot."

Gardnerville trailer manufacturer keeping it local
Local | February 21, 2012
by David Taylor
Special to The R-C
Spend five minutes talking trailers with Chris Dickerson, owner of Sierra 4×4 Trailers and you'll want one. Not because Dickerson's sales pitch – but from the fact that you'll shortly find out that these things ooze quality and are made in the USA.
From the design, production and manufacturing process the trailers at Sierra 4×4 built in Gardnerville are built by off-roaders for off-roaders.
Raised in Douglas County, Dickerson uses local vendors as much as possible when constructing the trailers. A fact that he takes great pride in as it stimulates the local and regional economy and keeps jobs in the county. From order to finish a custom built trailer from Sierra 4×4 on average takes about eight weeks. Sierra 4×4 has received orders from all across the country including New York and Florida. Sierra 4×4 Trailer orders can start with a basic trailer and be customized extensively including: color to match the towing vehicle, tailgate, hard top shell, roof rack, nerfbars, springs with shocks, and even roof top tents with a ladder.
Dickerson depends heavily on internet marketing and advertising including Google ad words, Sierra 4×4 Trailers website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr sites. Articles in publications such as "Fourwheeler" (October 2011) have also helped Sierra 4×4 attract new customers from the off-roading and weekend warrior community.
Ascent Douglas County Business Profiles highlight outdoor companies who are manufacturing and selling products from Douglas County.
Sierra 4×4 is a great example of a company not only working in the outdoor recreation area but also serving as an ambassador for the outdoor lifestyle available in Douglas County. As Dickerson and his family spend as much time as possible in the outdoors, camping and enjoying all this outdoors Mecca has to offer.
"When I talk to out-of-state companies and vendors I tell them about Douglas County," Dickerson said. "I tell a lot of them that they should move their business here."

Bod Australia updates on collaboration with UTS
August 15, 2019 Latest News
Medicinal cannabis company Bod Australia (ASX:BDA) says its collaboration with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has identified a potential new solution to help guard against the skin aging process.
In a statement, the company said over the past three years the research collaboration has identified a novel family of proteins found in human cells that could provide antioxidant protective effects when applied to cells topically.
"These proteins were found to be key players in protecting cells and helping to increase both their tolerance (P<0.0001) and recovery (P<0.01) to UV light, along with other sources of oxidative damage when overexpressed in mammalian cells," said the company,
"Additional experiments have shown increased levels of antioxidant activity (P<0.01), and cellular growth and metabolism (P<0.5, P< 0.01), furthering the proteins' cellular protective effects," it added.
Bod Australia said it is working with UTS on potential option to utilise the protein as a delivery method for CBD and hemp extracts as well as other cannabis compounds.
According to CEO Jo Patterson, "The results of this three year collaboration provide Bod with a fantastic commercial opportunity in both the anti aging market and cannabis markets which are both rapidly growing and ever changing.
"The Company is in the position to develop a suite of products that utilise these novel proteins in combination with specific CBD extracts and other cannabis compounds, allowing for increased optionality over its broader product suite. This will position Bod with an IP protected and patentable product suite building greater value for the total business.
"We look forward to continuing our research with UTS and will update shareholders on all developments as they progress."
UTS Acting Head of School of Life Sciences, Professor Stella Valenzuela, said, "Our recent scientific discoveries are extremely exciting and promising. They offer a number of new opportunities for translation of our research into products for use in the beauty and health care area. "

The fair volunteers gave generously of their time - making it possible for residents of Marion County to enjoy four, fun-filled days of activities. Fair-goers reveled in rides, games, prize livestock and enjoyed two evenings with American rock singer, Steve Augeri and country singer, Easton Corbin. Check out a few of the highlights in the slideshow below.


This wine set is all anyone needs to be a successful adult! The perfect alcoholic gift for any occassion. Fresh citrus and stone fruit with hints of brioche, balanced by a creamy mouthfeel and a lovely crisp finish.


Likely to be the "Spellcloth" of the second expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King.
Yes yes...all fine and good...does the specialization effect this? I have yet to find any information regarding tailoring specialization for wrath.
Does being a specialist give you an extra piece? Does it determine which rug you roll in on?
Specialization does indeed affect this item.
You will make two pieces of cloth if you are specialized.
Frostweave requirements updated, credit to Zankyo.
You have to go to at the Nexus in Coldarra to make this and it has a 4 day cooldown.
Which of the three will be the most wanted? Probably the same as the BC versions.
Need to be anywhere in "The Nexus" area to make. Right by the summoning stone works fine.
"The Nexus Area" is known as Coldarra and lies in Borean Tundra. Though "The Nexus Area" is the bottom of the cliff that surounds The Nexus.
If you are a Spellcloth tailor you will make two of these. If not, you only make one.
When created, you receive the Nexus Residue buff: Increase Haste Rating by 20 for 30 min.
How do you change your specialization? I tried going to Shattrath but the specialization trainers there seem to have...vanished. It's sorta crap because they forced us into these 'types' but changed the type of items created with each specialization. Spellfire, for instance, was clearly for people with fire damaging spells, but now it's int/spir and some spell power, while I'd prefer the int/stam spellpower version. And now I have no idea how to change my specialization.
Sadly, these don't seem to be all that profitable at the moment. Even with two per specialization, the AH on my server leaves these at maybe 10g profit once finished compared to the mats. On top of that, no one seems to want to buy them, even at lower prices. Hopefully the next patch adds some buffs to the boes to make them desirable or they make tailoring easier or some new patterns that drive the need for the most expensive profession in the game's top end mats and items.
Patch 3.0.8: Now requires the crafter to be in the Azure Dragonshrine in Dragonblight. Changed from The Nexus.
The new location to make this is Azure Dragonshrine at 55.4 65.9 in Dragonblight.
Just a note u make the spellweave cloth in Azure Dragonshrine in Dragonblight. It is not in or by Nexxius.
No longer true, now you have to go to the Azure Dragonshrine.
You have to be at the Azure Dragonshrine in Dragonblight (55,65) to make this. It grants you the buff Nexus Residue which lasts 30 mins.
The cooldown is just under 4 days.
Ok, i dont think the good people at blizz ever intended there to be a rogue tailor, (i am one and only God knows why) because the Swordgaurd Embroidery (chance on hit to up attack power by 300 for 15 seconds) on a rogue cloak is an I.W.I.N button, i did the calculations and when this procs, my DPS goes up by nearly 30!(for each weapon) i am merely mentioning this here because you need Spellweave to make the embroidery.
Really? Im the first to post the new requirements, even before wowhead updated it, yet no one can rate me up? lame!
P.D: DO NOT take this as a political comment! ^^ Just what I see, not what I like to see.
4 day cooldown is going bye-bye.
In short, SELL YOU BASTARDS! SELL!
bye bye bye NUTS CD !
At 100g per piece? No way am I buying. Now you might see more glacial bags in the AH.

Q: How to express `Class extends Any>` I'm trying to write something like this:
var classList = ArrayList<Class<Any>>()
init {
    classList.add(ClassA::class.java)
    classList.add(ClassB::class.java)
}

That gets me errors like:
Type inference failed. Expected type mismatch: inferred type is Class<ClassA> but Class<Any> was expected

I can get rid of the error by doing an explicit cast:
domainClasses.add(NameIdMapping::class.java as Class<Any>)

That gets me an "unchecked cast" warning.  Is that the best I can do? How to do this cleanly?

A: Use an out-projection: ArrayList<Class<out Any>>, this is mostly equivalent to a Java ? extends wildcard.
See: Variance in the language reference.

Wayne A. Williams
Focus: Personal Injury and Malpractice, Trafficking & Abuse
I am fully committed to giving victims of crime a voice, to doing everything I can legally to hold perpetrators responsible for their actions. We cannot undo the horrific damage a perpetrator has inflicted on another person. However, by using every legal tool and avenue possible, we may be able to provide our clients with some sense that justice has been done.
Wayne Williams has joined Weitz & Luxenberg's experienced team of personal injury and negligence litigators. His background litigating both criminal and civil cases is a welcome addition to our practice.
At W&L, Mr. Williams is handling child sexual abuse cases, as well as general personal injury and negligence litigation. Mr. Williams's specific focus is on the firm's child sexual abuse cases against the Boy Scouts of America, priests, schools and other perpetrators.
"Since graduating from law school, I have been fortunate to have gained insight and perspective from different types of law practice, but I am glad to be back to my roots," Mr. Williams says. "This is the kind of work I really want to be doing. Giving our clients a voice and helping them achieve the justice they deserve."
Gaining a Client's Trust Is Key
"When working with a client or a victim of a crime, the most important thing is gaining their trust," Mr. Williams states. "The entire legal process only works when they trust you. The more comfortable our clients feel opening up to us about what happened to them, the easier it is to process the case."
He continues, "You want your clients to give you a full account of what happened. Particularly in cases of sexual abuse, assault, and extreme violence, you have to be careful in your approach. You need all the facts, but you also need to be respectful of the trauma they've experienced."
Personal Experience Brought Me Here
Mr. Williams is from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When he was growing up, a close family member was a victim of a homicide. Several years later, Mr. Williams landed a summer job working in the equivalent of the District Attorney's Office in the Virgin Islands.
While he was there, he witnessed firsthand the legal proceedings and efforts of the justice system. This ultimately led to the conviction of the very person who had killed his family member. "I knew for sure this was the kind of work I wanted to do," Mr. Williams declares. "That experience sealed the deal."
Working at the D.A.'s Office
For three years, Mr. Williams served as assistant district attorney at the Westchester County District Attorney's Office in White Plains, New York. "This is exactly the kind of position I was aiming for when I decided to go to law school," Mr. Williams explains.
"I wanted to handle criminal cases. I wanted to help victims and do everything in my legal power to bring about justice for them. And part of what that means is seeing perpetrators held accountable for their violent, criminal actions," he emphasizes.
Mr. Williams oversaw the litigation process from inception to trial. He litigated jury trials and non-jury trials, and played a key role in criminal hearings. He was instrumental in determining whether criminal charges would be filed and what those charges would be.
Other Legal Experience
Mr. Williams has also worked as an associate attorney for a law firm handling insurance claims. He conducted discovery through depositions, witness interviews, and written documents. He also participated in court conferences and settlement negotiations.
Before joining there, Mr. Williams served as an associate attorney at a business law firm. While there, he prepared legal motions and other documents, conducted depositions, and attended court appearances.
Before Earning His J.D.
As a law clerk at the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Williams offered his assistance during several terms: summer 2014, spring 2015 (major drug offenses), and fall 2015 – spring 2016 (Juvenile Division). He litigated traffic and juvenile delinquency trials, conducted research, and composed documents.
He was a summer associate in 2015 at a law firm handling criminal defense and personal injury. While there, Mr. Williams drafted legal documents for clients accused of crimes such driving under the influence (DUI), rape, felonious assault, and domestic violence.
During the summer of 2013, he worked as an intern in the Office of the Clerk in the Supreme Court of the United States Virgin Islands in St. Thomas. While there, he assisted in the record keeping of important court documents. He also gained an understanding of the processes and procedures to have a case brought to the appellate level.
Mr. Williams is licensed to practice law in the state of New York. He earned his J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio, and his B.A. in history from Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Outside the office, Mr. Williams enjoys exploring different restaurants and attending special events and concerts with his friends. He also loves spending time with his two cats.

Mexican Narcos Pushing Out Texas Border Farmers
It's getting hard to keep up with the symptoms of the invasion of America by hardcore Mexican criminals (as opposed to the millions of common job thieves).
Let's review some recent indicators of the worsening Mexican crime incursion:
US citizens have been warned out of border area parks as being too dangerous for a while. Rancher Rob Krentz was murdered on his own property in Arizona last spring.
In Chandler, a cartel thug recently beheaded a guy who had stolen a pile of drugs from him. It's the first instance of a Mexican drug decapitation in America, although the Muslims have already scored with the Buffalo beheading of Aasiya Hassan by her husband Muzzammil in the honor killing category.
The new thing is that narcos are scaring border farmers off their land. But don't forget, the border is "as secure now as it has ever been" in the unforgettable words of DHS honcho Janet Napolitano.
America's Third War: Texas Farmers Under Attack at the Border, Fox News, March 3, 2011
In Texas, nearly 8,200 farms and ranches back up to the Mexican border.
The men and women who live and work on those properties say they're under attack from the same drug cartels blamed for thousands of murders in Mexico.
"It's a war, make no mistake about it," Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said. "And it's happening on American soil."
Texas farmers and ranchers produce more cotton and more cattle than any other state, so Staples is concerned this war could eventually impact our food supply, and calls it a threat to our national security.
"Farmers and ranchers are being run off their own property by armed terrorists showing up and telling them they have to leave their land," Staples said.
To raise awareness, Commissioner Staples launched the website ProtectYourTexasBorder.com. It's a place where frustrated and scared farmers can share their stories.
One Texas farmer, who asked not to be identified, said it's common for him to see undocumented immigrants walking through his property.
"I see something, I just drive away," he said. "It is a problem, I've learned to live with it and pretty much, I've become numb to it."
Another farmer, Joe Aguilar, said enough is enough. After walking up on armed gunmen sneaking undocumented immigrants into the United States through his land, Aguilar decided to sell his farm."It's really sad to say, you either have to beat 'em or join 'em and I decided not to do either," Aguilar said.
Aguilar's family farmed 6,000 acres of land along the Texas-Mexico border for nearly 100 years.
"Our farmers and ranchers can't afford their own security detail," Staples said. "We're going to become more dependent on food from foreign sources.
Americans don't like being dependent on foreign oil, they won't stand for being dependent on foreign food."

Technology Business Research isn't calling it a done deal, but says a Netbook will be unveiled at Macworld as a way of getting the company in front of price-sensitive customers.
Macworld Rumor Week is now in full swing.
Ezra Gottheil of Technology Business Research anted up Tuesday with a research note predicting, but not reporting, that Apple will announce a low-cost "Netbook" style Mac in January at Macworld. He told Computerworld, "I don't have any inside information" but nonetheless believes that Apple will release a small low-cost laptop to get in on the Netbook craze and satisfy those calling for a cheaper Mac.
The Apple-doing-a-Netbook rumor has been around for several months, despite Apple's attempts to push it back down. As recently as October, CEO Steve Jobs trotted out the old line about how Apple doesn't know how to make a cheap computer "that isn't a piece of junk," and said Apple was watching the Netbook market but didn't really think at this point, there was any there there.
Gottheil thinks Apple has to move down the price ladder because the other PC vendors have cut prices significantly this year, moving Apple "out of the most price-sensitive markets, including the fastest growing emerging economies." He thinks if Apple released a $599 Netbook-style product that was designed like the iPhone--a simple user interface fed by the App Store and iTunes--it could be a hit.
Netbook sales have been growing, but this report seems more like an attempt to get in on the pre-Macworld rumor mill than anything substantial. Just 5.6 million Netbooks were sold during the past quarter; this isn't exactly a huge market that Apple is missing out on.
And the creator of the Netbook idea--Intel--has backed off its evangelism of the category after realizing it was killing its margins. For years, Apple has wisely avoided the temptation to get sucked into developing low-cost but low-margin hardware that holds nothing but trouble: once you start chasing the low-price dragon in this industry your customers learn to expect cheap computers every year, with no sympathy for your gross margins.
Still, Jobs is notorious for insisting Apple isn't going to release certain kinds of products right up to the point when Apple releases those same products (video iPods and mobile phones, most prominently). And Apple will have to release something interesting at Macworld; a new Mac Mini and an iPhone Nano are the other rumors currently making the rounds.

Glandwr Churchyard (Standing Stone / Menhir) on The Modern Antiquarian, the UK & Ireland's most popular megalithic community website. 3 images, 2 fieldnotes, plus information on many more ancient sites nearby and across the UK & Ireland.
From the A40 take the A478 north towards Cardigan. The hamlet of Glandwr can be found a short distance to the east about half way to Cardigan. Signposted.
I was starting to run out of time and I was sorely tempted to re-visit the Gors Fawr stone circle but I knew I didn't have time to do both. In the end I decided that it was better to go somewhere new rather than somewhere I had already been – this being my usual maxim in life.
I like an old attractive church – this isn't one – far too modern for my taste. Not that I had come this far to specifically look at the church anyway of course.
(I think) the church hall- to the right of the gate into the church yard – can't miss it.
The stone is about 1.5m high and the Ogham markings can be seen but are not very clear. In all honesty if I didn't know they were there I would have probably missed them.
Perhaps it wasn't the best light to see them in.
The stone itself is quite ordinary but of course it's not very often you get the chance to see Ogham so for that reason alone it is worth the trip.
Not sure if this is already described somewhere within another site (couldn't find it). The stone stands just in at the edge of a churchyard in a tiny village near the Preseli mountains. The Ogham markings are really clear on the left hand side, although less so in the photograph. Spotted right on the very edge of the OL135 map and well worth a look.

Class of 2015: U.Va. Poet Pursues Her Passion for Art and Politics
Robert Hull, roberthull5@gmail.com
Editor's note: In the run-up to Final Exercises on May 16 and 17, UVA Today will introduce readers to some of the outstanding members of the Class of 2015. All of the stories, plus other information about Finals Weekend, will be compiled here.
Nora Toh, who grew up in Singapore, will graduate from the University of Virginia on May 16 with a double major in honors politics and English poetry writing. Her ongoing academic focus has been on examining transitional identities through poetry, photography and transfer prints.
In 2014, Toh received one of the five University Awards for Projects in the Arts. She completed an honors thesis for her major in the Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics. In the Department of English, she was a member of the Area Program in Poetry Writing, which involved a yearlong project culminating in her capstone, a collection of original poetry.
"Nora is one of the most talented, intelligent, generous, compassionate, hard-working and altruistic students I've had the privilege of working with in my 35 years of college-level teaching," said Lisa Russ Spaar, director of the Area Program in Poetry Writing, professor of English and Creative Writing and celebrated national award-winning poet. "She's also a marvelous poet.
"Whether casting the dialect of a Singaporean cab driver into Western ballad stanzas or examining the self through the lens of American poet Marianne Moore, Nora's poems are always in some way about boundaries, walls, borders, border-crossing, transgression, exile and home. She does not shy away from the most difficult of subjects – violence, loneliness, injustice, fear and unrequited love. Her poems are at once global and local. They take the risk required to tell one's truth.
"Some students just pass through their university experience," Spaar said. "Not so with Nora. As a student, human being and poet, she has been a transformative and gracious force in our Academical Village."
UVA Today recently talked with Toh as her U.Va. undergraduate career drew near an end.
Q. What was it like growing up and attending school in Singapore?
A. It was wonderful. The vibrancy of life there is just on another level. There's an intersection between vastly different cultures, and a tension between rapid development and the preservation of traditions.
For my secondary education at Raffles Junior College, I was part of an intense humanities program. It was what occurred outside the classroom there that really cemented my love for the arts. We would attend tons of plays, dance performances, musicals and even the opera.
My parents' approach toward my learning has always been to let me do whatever I want – as long as I commit to doing it well. My mother initially wanted me to be a doctor, but as soon as she saw that my interests tended toward the humanities, she was fully supportive of me pursuing that field.
Q. Why did you start writing poetry?
A. I can't pinpoint a specific time when poetry became my interest. As far as I remember it has always been a part of my life. Pretty dorky I know. Who likes reading poetry when they're just 8, right? But I did.
Poetry has always been there for me when I didn't have the words to fully express myself. Growing up as an only child, I had to find various ways to amuse myself, so I think that's probably why I've always been an arts-and-craft type. I'm inspired by aesthetics, so creating art has been a way to push myself toward what I admire.
Q. What inspired you to choose U.Va.?
A. As an international student, I wasn't able to visit the University before committing here, but the cost of attending U.Va. was significantly less than the private schools. I thought it would be a great place to have the full college experience because of the beautiful Grounds and rich history.
Q. What did U.Va. offer that helped you to focus on your area of study?
A. The University is great at offering small, specialized programs that really help you develop your interests. My politics honors class has only six people, and my poetry class has only 10 people. That gave me so much more interaction time with professors, who are invested in seeing you grow.
Q. What extracurricular activities at U.Va. have been important to you?
A. I was a staff member for the Virginia Literary Review, and this was a great way to familiarize myself with the arts scene at U.Va. My Alternative Spring Break trip was also a fantastic experience. I went to Puerto Rico and we helped out with the rangers at El Yunque by doing various paint jobs and digging out drainage systems along the trails. It felt like we were actually making a difference.
Being part of the Muslim Students Association has also heavily influenced my identity on Grounds and given me a family away from home. And finally, my beautiful X family (the X-Tasee Dance Crew, a U.Va. hip-hop performance group), whose confidence has taught me to be daring. They are a constant reminder for me to put everything into what I love.
Q. What impact did U.Va.'s Creative Writing Program, the Area Program in Poetry Writing and the professors in the Department of English have on your work?
A. Frankly, I don't think my work would exist without the poetry program. When I was trying to choose classes for my first semester, I stumbled across the "Intro to Poetry Writing" course, and so here we are.
Lisa Russ Spaar has been everything to me – teacher, mentor, mother and all-around inspiration. Her guidance and feedback brought my work to the next level, and her genuine concern for my well-being has kept me sane.
Debra Nystrom has inspired me to take poetry more seriously. In the spring of my first year, when the weather finally got nice outside, Debra brought our class out to one of the U.Va. gardens. As we read poetry that afternoon, with the sun in our faces, I felt for the first time that I was truly where I needed to be and that I belonged here at U.Va. Debra gave me that.
Of course, these are just two members of the amazing creative writing faculty. I would also be nowhere without the guidance of English professors Gregory Orr, Paul Guest and Stephen Cushman.
Q. What is your thesis on "transnationalism" about?
A. As a Chinese-Malay Singaporean who moved to America for college, I chose this topic because I find myself consistently shedding, keeping and gaining new pieces of my identity. The idea is about how we consistently shed and retain pieces of our identities as we move across place – an exploration of place and exile. It's about how we find our grounding in this world, how belonging to one place essentially estranges you from another. It's about how home can be every place that persistently lives in you, but also how it can feel like nowhere. It's a concept that invokes the idea of fluid identities, emphasizing that it's not something that should be confined to boundaries.
Q. How did the University Award for Projects in the Arts impact your academic career?
A. The award gave me the space and resources to experiment beyond poetry. It was liberating in the sense that I was given complete freedom to pursue what I wanted to – and that led me to places I didn't expect. Through this process I have learned so much about myself and about what I hope to achieve with my art. I also experimented with watercolors and transfer prints, which was completely new territory. The award allowed me to venture out of the poetry mold that has defined my time at U.Va.
Q. Why do you feel that the humanities are so important to our culture?
A. I think the fact that it consists of the word 'human' says it all. The humanities make us consider our own being. They teach us empathy. They encourage us to reach out and make connections. That's so important to maintaining tolerance and respect in any culture.
Q. Do you have any advice for students at U.Va.? What will you be doing in this new phase of your life?
A. This fall, I'm applying to graduate schools, so I'll be taking a year off from school. During the summer, I'm working with the Fund for the Public Interest, a national, non-profit organization that runs campaigns for America's leading environmental and public interest organizations.
My advice to students at U.Va. is this: Put yourself out there. You should realize that college is all about the opportunities you pursue.

Sam Hewlings, who has a degree in civil engineering from Warwick and is about to commence a master's in tunneling, made his private statement look like a journey which ended up in engineering. What can budding structural engineers do to prepare themselves for the business? Sam Carigliano, shares his prime 3 suggestions.Structural engineers are most likely to be working on a range of projects with a wide spectrum of other employees, so it is critical that potential staff can demonstrate reliability, flexibility and excellent communication and collaboration capabilities.Hobby projects can also be truly fruitful. For instance, SkyCiv began as a hobby project and now, two years later, has been employed on a lot more than two million structural engineering projects around the globe. Passion is a powerful tool for success.Engineers earn about $72,000 out of school, but you'll nevertheless want to hold your tuition and debt as low as you can. six A strong state college like Illinois Urbana-Champaign may well be a greater decision than an elite, pricy college like Stanford: $15,000 in-state costs vs. $46,000.Practice math, issue solving, and writing. You require to have strong abilities in math, dilemma solving, and writing in order to be a effective engineer. You should practice these abilities in order to create a familiarity with what you will be performing on the job.I've just been promoted to senior engineer and it's a varied job. On a typical day, I will spend time modelling a structure utilizing personal computer analysis or if a project is getting built, then I'll do a website pay a visit to. One of my initial projects that I worked on was as portion of the style group for Halley VI, the base for the British research station in Antarctica. I went out to operate on the existing base (Halley V) in December 2005 to April 2006.

This was on secondment to the British Antarctic Survey to supervise structural operates to its current base.The 30-year-old structural engineer has created bridges, skyscrapers and sculptures with signature architects and spent six years functioning on The Shard - the tallest creating in Western Europe that has radically altered the London skyline. That suspension ended and Pratt is at the moment a licensed engineer, but is not permitted to practise structural engineering since his penalty took effect in May possibly 2014.For most people, this would be a passing believed as they step around an overflowing high-street bin. For Luebkeman, however, it is far more acute - this is some thing he has the power to alter. His job title is "director for international foresight and innovation" at the leading architectural engineering consultancy, Ove Arup & Partners, who worked on the Angel of the North, the Swiss Re Gherkin and the Channel tunnel rail hyperlink. It is his job to conceive new ways of constructing - recyclable buildings, reusable offices, furniture that can decompose. He is the Willy Wonka of the constructed environment, conjuring up dreams of a future exactly where we can remedy our ills through faith, physics and forethought.So what can Ashe inform us about what folks earn - or possibly, far more to the point, what does not it say? There are particular aspects that have to be taken into account. We have looked at job groups with a gross full-time median annual salary of more than £40,000. The Ashe information is taken from a sample of just 1% of personnel who spend tax through PAYE. More substantially, Ashe does not contain the self-employed - and with that, the high-flying entrepreneurs or celebrities who aid constitute the country's really prime earners. Properly-recognized men and Look Here women we may consider of as becoming conventionally employed, such as footballers or Tv presenters, for example, are typically self-employed and charging for contracted solutions. Yesterday's results will also bolster calls for a lot more youngsters to study science and maths A-levels - which are normally required to take an engineering degree. To be a structural engineer in the early 1950s was, as Frank Newby reminisced shortly before his death at the age of 75, to be component of a time when professional relationships were open and absolutely everyone was striving for the identical issue.Gardening paraphernalia (hoses, tools, electrics) can be ugly. For the same client, we made a wall-to-wall screen in black charred larch, that sits half a metre back from the rear wall of the garden. Behind it are pipes, drains, an irrigation method, hoses and gardening tools. The pleached trees provide privacy from neighbouring homes.I want to turn out to be a civil engineer but folks discourage me due to the fact I am a female. In most cases, truly need a distinct education for this job. Some sound & image schools offer certificates for your introduction to this industry. On the internet Nanodegrees in pc science, engineering, and Look Here machine understanding.Right after you have passed the FE exam and worked in the field for four years, you are going to be eligible to take the skilled engineering (PE) exam. When you total this step, you are going to be a certified professional engineer and can expect a lot more trust and responsibility from clientele.

Leignon Castle in CINEY
(2, Rue de Sacr� Coeur)
Picture by Jan Boeykens (@Quernus)
This text is based on the information of Lien Staelens (with our thanks!!)
The plans of this castle, popularly known as the �Le Ch�teau des milles fen�tres (castle with thousend windows)� were drawn by Auguste Van Assche . It was built between 1895 and 1900 as country house for the notary Isidore Eggermont (1844 - 1923) who was also from Ghent.
Today the castle is private property of the family Albert Karaziwan : a dairy factory with a riding school and stables : recreation (ateliers,stages) of the ATB Topvakanties.
The castle is not anymore in its original situation ; deteriorated and uninhabitated farm, dairy factory , riding school and stables : in good shape, at this moment renovations of the interior. informations about the project.
When the works started at the end of the 19th century, the castle had still its look from the 17th and 18th century with chalked bricks and bluestone. The main part of the habitation part, with two and half stores, had at the west side a square tower of three and half stores. The complete building used to be the base for the new castle, that has a L- form at this moment. Fascinated by the flemish-gothic influences of the time ,Eggermont Van Assche had ordered to cover the castle completely with rubbles (limestone). He ordered to highen up the old tower, so that at a height of thirty meters you can go to a terrace, with a splendid view. The adjacent octogonal tower ends at 45 meters hight.
The castle posesses 49 rooms. The side-aisle, that looks upon the village, contains the service entrances, the kitchens and several sidebuildings. The principal wanted to obtain so with the castle a beautiful and full of fantasy eye-catcher with crenealtation, gables, turrets... and a wallwalk that goes round the building. The groundfloor of the castle has 850 m�, and it is located on a domain of around 60 ha. On the lower part of the domain there are situated at one side a farm and dairy factory, and at the other side where there used to be a splendid gentry farm, now there is a man�ge with stables and ridingfields.
After the death of Mrs Eggermont in 1953, the NMBS bought a part of the domain and put the castle and annexes at the disposition of the pensioners. 9 june 1977 the annexes of the castle were sold to the society of the children of deported.The castle self was still in hand for some time of the Brabant Mutualities for Albert Karaziwan, a Syrian businessman bought the castle with 11 ha land in 1989.
Since 14 oktober 1992 parts of the castle , with name the fassade, de groundfloor, the stair case, the chapel and the square tower stood under protection of monuments.
Peter Deprins has some corrections and more information. He has this because he passes his holidays there since he was a child (and continues passing there) (translation by us): The manage building and the concierge building are in the hands of AEP (aide des enfants prisioner). The NMBS has given those buildings to the AEP, who are still organizing yough camps there via their Flemish branch Top vakantie. During school holidays, horse rinding camps are organized there for children between 6 and 18 years old.
The castle is build with reference to che calendar. It has 365 windows ( 365 days), 4 towers ( 4 seizons), 52 rooms (52 weeks) and 12 stairs (12 months).
During WO2, the Germans used this castle. '
Catherine Laurent confirms that Albert Karaziwan is Belgian with Syrian origin.


Need someone to build your company intranet?
We've built dozens of intranets & extranets for companies, utilising a huge number of custom features.
Let's have a look at what features you might need and what an intranet is.
What features should an intranet have?
What makes an engaging intranet that my staff will use?
What features does our intranet need?
Can I just use Google Drive/Sites, Microsoft OneNote/Sharepoint or Dropbox as our intranet?
Intranets need a place for company-wide information to be posted so everyone is kept on the same page.
Following on from company announcements, it's handy to have the ability for people to post company-viewable comments to cheer on the team or respond to company announcements. It can also be handy to have the ability for a staff messaging system that is linked to the intranet.
Looking for the details of someone in the company to share with a co-worker or to get in contact with them yourself? Having a people directory makes it easy for staff to get in contact quickly.
Depending on the size of your company & the amount of information being shared, you may want to have your intranet split into departments. To keep staff engagement high, they only want to read very important company announcements and information relevant to them.
Sometimes stored in cloud storage or on someone's computer are the documents that describe how your company does what it does. Bringing them into a shared environment makes it easier to ensure company documents & training are kept up-to-date and are made accessible to all.
Want to know when the next big company product launch is or where the staff Christmas party is happening? Having a shared calendar in a shared space makes it easy to see the bigger picture of what's going on in your company.
If you want to draw from the wisdom of the company crowd and get feedback (aka buy-in) around decisions you're making then having an area where you can ask questions and get responses is vital.
An intranet is a place to store information & search for information but it's also a place where you can collect information from staff. Having a place for collecting information like business expense claim forms, leave requests etc makes it easy for staff to breeze through their admin tasks.
Finding your way around an intranet easily and creating a beautiful intranet that people actually use are two goals when creating an intranet. You don't want an intranet ghost town where the last activity was 2 years ago. Make it bright, minimal, simple and accessible.
Depending on the information shared, you're going to want to split the information being shared differently depending on the roles in your company. Staff forms should be accessed by all staff but their input should only be accessed by the HR department. The same goes for many other parts of an intranet where you want privacy, openness and functionality working together.
In the simplest terms, a company intranet is a private network for staff to find & discuss company information. There are several key features that an intranet needs but the scope of the intranet needs to be flexible to the needs of the business.
A basic, modern intranet centres around being a database for important company information and can be expanded to include company > staff communication (through announcements, training, messaging and SOPs) and staff > company communication (through messaging, polls and form completion).
Through looking at the best intranet software programs available, we discovered that there were many ways to meet the basic needs of an intranet that often didn't require expensive enterprise software.

The following describes the secret police apparatus (UNS) of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) from its inception on 10 April 1941 through several reorganizations until it was renamed RAVSIGUR on 21 January 1943. Details are not provided past that date to the end of the war because while the designations of some of the departments and branches may have changed their function did not. The UNS and later RAVSIGUR were the direct counterparts of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA – State Main Security Office) and the Sicherheitspolizei (Sipo – Security Police) in Nazi Germany.
This branch handled the UNS's personnel, disciplinary, punishment and supervisory affairs. The chief adjutant of the UNS was in charge of the branch, but the immediate supervisors were Dr. Boris Bucovski followed by Vladimir Iličić. There were two sub-branches subordinated to the Personnel Branch: the Typing Pool with 10- 12 typists, and the Records and Archives where some 30 employees worked.
Formed 20 April 1942, this department was responsible for all intelligence activity directed against the KPJ, SKOJ, NOP and other Communist organizations. This was the largest department in Section II and had the most agents. The office staff alone consisted of over 100 employees. Department IV operated its own prison, nicknamed "Sing-Sing", and it was here that some of the most hideous atrocities of the war took place as the Ustasha interrogators attempted to extract information from captured Partisans and other Party members. The department's offices (and apparently the prison) were located at Ksaverskoj. česti No. 74. The heads of the department in order of appointment were: Drago Jilek and Franjo Udović.
Established by Ustasha returnee (povratnik) Mijo Babić, acting on direct orders from Pavelić, specifically for the purpose of setting up concentration camps in Croatia to be used for killing Serbs, Jews and Gypsies (this is the possibly over-stated opinion of author Dušan Lazić). The Zagreb office of Section III was initially located at Zvonimirovoj uliči No. 2, and later at Opatičkoj No. 1.
At first, the Section III office was very small, consisting of only Mijo Babić and his secretary, N. Kezić. Local Ustasha units were used to guard the camps. All work was carried out by Babić and his immediate superior, Dido Kvaternik, acting under the direction of Pavelić. Immediately after Babić was killed on 3 July 1941 in Hercegovina, Vjekoslav "Maks" Luburić took over Section III responsibilities, but in October he left for Germany where he spent 10 days as a guest of the Gestapo in Berlin learning all that he needed to reorganize the system of concentration camps in the NDH, which he immediately began to carry out on his return from Germany. The reorganized system was based on two large camps at Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška, while all Serbs were to be placed in a special camp at Gornja Rijeka (near Novi Marof, to the southwest of Varaždin). At the same time as he set about reorganizing the camp system, Luburić formed a special Ustasha unit called the Ustasha Obrana, which was to be responsible for camp security and the liquidation of inmates. It is important to emphasize here that the sole authority in the Independent State of Croatia for authorizing liquidations was the director of UNS Section III.
The first centralized command for concentration camps was established at Jasenovac at the end of 1941 as Headquarters Concentration Camps (Zapovjedničtva Sabirnih Logora), and functional departments and branches were developed under it to administer the camp system. The Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška camps quickly grew into large multi-camp complexes that were run by "Maks" Luburić's Obrana organization, these continuing to the end of the war.

Recently someone took me by surprise, asking for a printed copy of Suburban Magic. As I am in the slow process of printing all my books for my own personal library, I agreed. I didn't know quite how to talk them out of it. But the truth is, I'd not really recommend anyone read Suburban Magic first of my books. This got me to wondering what order I would infact recommend if any newcomer was inclined to read my writing.
I would suggest the novel Deep in the Far Away first. Simply because it is a novel. After that The Coracle Sky, because it is my personal favourite and the more recent example of my fiction. Then Driftways, after which a reader would perhaps be acclimatised enough to my style to venture into Suburban Magic. Then they may like to consider the two poetry volumes, The Memory of Light and Otherwise, which were written several years ago. There is also a selection of my small poems at my instagram gallery.
When I wrote Suburban Magic, I was captivated by a powerful need to do something, however small, for the disempowered enchantment of the world, whether that be actual faeries or merely people's imaginative relationship with nature. I must admit, that need has faded now, or rather has become crippled. It's hard not to feel low and hopeless in the political environment of these days. It's hard not to cry when a neighbour cuts down most of the trees on their property. At times like these, I comfort myself with dreams of beautiful places where flowers are still wanted and rivers are treasured as the spirits they are. I soak in lovely writing, warm imagery. I tell myself there is no shame in resting, seeking comfort, building strength for the long haul. To the people who create beauty that others may rest in it and be uplifted - thank you! You do gentle, vital work.
I'm hoping your Deep in the Far Away will gently lead me back into loving stories again... I've struggled through so many poorly conceived ones in our village book group - I rather despair how so many 'bad' writers get published!!
I know, it's so hard to see beauty being devalued, destroyed. It feels like we're breaking our own souls really, as we dig out the mountains, cut down the forests. I think our souls stay alive through beauty, gentleness, love. Sometimes I run up north to the mountains where the air and water is still very clean, and it's easier to forget for a while then, what is happening.
Not everyone understands the artist mindset, which I believe is there from our birth.. just waiting to be found and explored. Yours is very special, I see it through all your beautiful words.
Though the outside world is mostly out of our control.. your art, your thoughts, your soul.. is yours and yours alone. They can never take that from you. Stay beautiful, my friend.


Our group lessons are by far our most popular costing just £33 per person (amazing value for money considering hire of the gear alone is £25). Our group lessons cover exactly the same as the one to one and there can be anywhere from 3-10 people present. Most groups consist of around 4-5 and it's a great fun way to meet new often like minded people, and make friends whilst learning to surf. Obviously you are welcome to book a group of friends in too.
If you wish to book a lesson with more than 10 people in it, please contact us on 01723 585585.
Our surf lessons are held at Cayton Bay, 4 miles south of Scarborough town centre. We have been running a surf school for over 10 years and our instructors are some of the most experienced in the UK. All of instructors are RNLI Lifeguard trained and fully insured so you can be sure you're in safe hands.
At Cayton Bay, we have (in our opinion) the best facilities out of any surf school in the country. A huge car park, mens and womens sheltered changing areas, hot showers, a picnic area and a surf shop stocking the best surf brands in the world (not to mention the best tea in Yorkshire!) - all set on the cliff top of one of most beautiful beaches in England, Cayton Bay.
Equipment-wise, expect to be toasty with our new range of surf school wetsuits, boots and gloves, not to mention the huge range of surfboards to choose from in a range of sizes.
If you are booked on one of our lessons, be sure to bring some swimming trunks or costume (to go under your wetsuit) and a towel.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cayton Bay!
Had a great time Surfing,will definately come back to Cayton Bay again and just hire the equipment this time.Hot showers were definately a bonus at the end!
Would just like to say a thanks to James our instructor for the day.He was really helpful and patient and by the end of the day he had nearly all of us stood up and riding the waves right to the beach.Would definately come back again as we love the beach at Cayton Bay,Scarborough.

First to the Summit of Mount Whitney
Ray Rippel July 2, 2013 13
Every hiker who succeeds at thru-hiking the John Muir Trail also accomplishes something else fairly impressive: he or she summits Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States.
But who was the first to reach the top? Great question.
In June of 1871, Clarence King, a renowned surveyor and mountaineer, was on his way from San Francisco to Wyoming to continue his survey of the fortieth parallel. A personal ambition, however, caused him to take a brief side trip.
He headed south, to Lone Pine. His ambition was to be the first to summit Mount Whitney, a peak he had a hand in discovering and naming.
The expedition began in August and took three days. On the second day he achieved the summit. He wrote an account of what he saw and gave a thorough, but oddly inaccurate, description of Mount Tyndall. He also apparently failed to notice that the "Mount Tyndall" he was describing was higher than the one he stood on—a curious fact given that nearest mountain higher than Mount Whitney is more than a thousand miles away.
That's because he wasn't on Whitney; he was on what would later be called Mount Langley. He was describing Whitney, not Tyndall.
Two years later (during which he was hailed as the man who had conquered Whitney), the mistake was discovered. When King was informed that he was not, in fact, the first to the summit, he hurried back to California (from the east of the country) for another attempt. He finally arrived at the true summit of Mount Whitney on September 19, 1873, only to find bad news: a hastily constructed monument listed the names of three climbers who had already been there.
Those climbers, named Hunter, Crapo and Rabe, had taken a route over Cottonwood Pass, through Whitney Meadows, and had reached the peak on September 6th, thirteen days before King. Rabe had a barometer with him and verified the elevation. They left the summit, that day, convinced that they had managed to be the first to bag the peak.
The three did better than King in his first attempt two years earlier: they had climbed the right mountain, but they were not the first.
A month earlier, in August of 1873, a large group of Lone Pine residents had escaped the scorching summer heat by taking an excursion into the high country. While there they rode, relaxed, fished and generally enjoyed the scenery and cooler temperatures.
Three of the group, fishermen named Begole, Lucas, and Johnson, decided to embark on a little adventure, for no other reason than for the enjoyment of it. They resolved to hike to the highest peak they could see. It took them a day to reach it. (It turned out to be the same peak King had climbed in August of 1871.)
Unlike King, however, they noted that there was a higher peak nearby. The next day, on August 18th, 1873, they summited that peak, which was the true Mount Whitney—a fact they didn't know at the time (they were just trying to get to the highest point they could see). They assumed that their peak was unnamed, and decided to call the mountain "Fisherman's Peak", no doubt after failing to get majority support for Mount Begole, Mount Lucas, or Mount Johnson.
Controversy raged in the months ahead over who got there first, and the name "Mount Whitney" didn't become undisputed until the middle of the next century (more to come on that in a later blog post), but the consensus, today, is that three recreational fisherman, on a lark, bested everyone else.
Well, except for the countless indigenous North Americans who had managed the feat earlier, and whose accomplishments went unrecorded.

Do you have a photo of the summit register for pages showing the Jul 2nd entries?? Someone I know is looking for that page!

Sorry, Rob, I do not. If they live close to Lone Pine, people do the hike almost every day this time of year. Perhaps they could get a photo.

Today, 1st April 2014 marks a significant milestone for the Environment Agency as we change the way we are organised.
This blog will give you an insight into our work as we help communities to recover from flooding and improve the environment.
Throughout January, February and March, Environment Agency staff worked flat out to reduce the risks of flooding and help communities to recover from the devastating storms.
During the winter 2013 / 2014 floods, many people suffered as around 6,500 properties were flooded. However, Environment Agency flood schemes defended more than 1.4 million homes and businesses and protected nearly 2,500 square kilometres of farmland across England. Roy Stokes' Valentines Day story demonstrates the commitment of staff across the country in helping to protect homes and livelihoods.
We've already invested £30 million of additional funding to repair over 200 flood walls, barriers and banks damaged by the storms. And we've started repairs to a further 100 flood risk management assets.
Alongside work in flood risk management, we've continued to deliver vital services protecting the environment. From dealing with waste crime to working alongside partners to enhance river habitats, our teams play a vital role in creating a better place for people and wildlife.
From today we are implementing a new two tier structure at a national and area level. We also have a new Executive management structure. New ways of working will ensure that we continue to increase our efficiency and effectiveness.
This blog will give you an insight into our work and the stories behind our announcements.
I'm constantly impressed by the expertise, dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism of the people working at the Environment Agency. As you read this blog, I hope you are too.
View more photographs of the Environment Agency at work on Flickr.
Good to see a public sector organisation try to do more to actively engage with its stakeholders, including joe public, on issues which actively impact them. I hope that you will not be afraid to address controversial issues and accept critical comments and not use the moderation mechanism to exclude these types of response.
Waterbriefing will watch the blog with interest.
Great to see the EA introducing a this. A brilliant way for government to communicate with the public. Being involved in the waste industry (skip hire), this should make our lives easier in the long run.


What are we going to do in summer?
Last week schools started summer vacation.
Kids dropped their schoolbags, but will still need to pick them up to write their summer assignments (although by law the schools should not give kids assignments for vacation).
During July and August many summer camps are organised for elementary aged children. These camps can be overnight, or whole day or just a few hours a day. They can be thematic (e.g. about insects or birds or science) or just ... fun. Camps in Taiwan are organised by all kinds of organisations - by schools, universities, church groups, non-profit organisations, for profit, after-school classes etc. Everybody can organise a "camp".
These are all the camps I can think of. Some of them were very popular with Jas and Zosia so kids were attending them year after year. Others were just a one time thing.
This year Ania has already started her first half-day camp - at a neighbourhood church. Later she will also go for calligraphy camp.
Jas on the other hand, will take part in the camp preparing for the Jazz Festival in Taichung and a soccer camp.
Kids will also be taking swimming lessons at the community swimming pool.
We are not planning any grand outings or trips, just ... life as normal.
But ... did you know that after elementary school the vacation time that kids have in Taiwan gets shorter and shorter?
