COVID-19 has drastically impacted the services we offer and how we work with service users.
The casework team spoke to 301 people living with HIV positive in under 72 hours. They were all extremely anxious about having to self-isolate and how they were going to earn a living.
Since the lockdown, NAZ has been actively supporting the immediate needs of our clients: providing food, referrals and advice on welfare and benefits.
Services In Covid
Weekly food and toiletries drop off.
Case support to access funds, benefits and housing.
Open Mic – call and speak to us about what's on your mind.
Counselling service – free counselling service.
Campaigning – making sure those in power understand the impact COVID-19 is having on our communities and holding to account on how they respond.
HIV Care & Support
The NAZ HIV Care and Support Service is dedicated to enabling people to accept their diagnosis and live life to its fullest.
We offer a range of programmes tailored to serve different needs, creating a safe and supportive community.
Counselling & Wellbeing
We provide counselling and psychotherapy to those experiencing difficulties with their sexuality, relationships and sexual health.
We influence policy and practice to address the challenges and sexual health inequalities our communities face.
Our work is situated in a sobering reality. BAME communities are disproportionately impacted by poor HIV, sexual and reproductive health compared to their white counterparts:
The highest population rates of STI diagnoses are among people of Black or mixed ethnicity, with Black Caribbeans having the highest diagnosis rates of many STIs of all ethnic groups. The majority of these cases are among persons living in areas of high deprivation. These high rates of STI diagnoses are most likely due to a combination of cultural, economic and behavioural factors.
This disproportionality is particularly pronounced for gonorrhoea1 which increased in diagnoses by 34% between 2017 and 2018 for people of Black Caribbean ethnicity.
In 2018, 52% of Black African heterosexual women were diagnosed at a late stage of HIV infection in 2018, compared to 43% overall.
Mothers from Black ethnicities are at nearly five times higher risk of dying in childbirth than white mothers.
At the heart of our work is a passion and drive to redress sexual health inequalities to enable all people from minority communities to enjoy positive sexual health and well-being.
Our work is available in multiple languages and works across four key areas:
Care and Support Services for people impacted and living with HIV
Sexual health prevention and promotions services

Information you discuss with us is strictly confidential. Your records are kept in the Sexual Health Department and your information would not normally be shared with any other hospital department or your GP without your knowledge.
We will not give your test results to anyone else without your permission. On the rare occasion that we do need to give information to a third party, we will always aim to tell you. The only reason we would do this is if we felt you or someone else were at risk of serious harm.
How long will you be in the clinic?
When you drop into the walk in clinic it may already be full to capacity which unfortunately means we may not be able to see you that day. You will be offered an appointment to attend another day. Any urgent cases will be assessed daily through a nurse triage system.
We do not fit or remove implants or coils in walk in clinics
If you have come to a 'walk-in' session, they can be very busy and you may be here for up to 2-3 hours. If you have come for an appointment, we aim to see you within half an hour of your given time. Seeing the doctor/nurse, having tests taken, and getting your results and treatment can take up to one hour.

As we have mentioned last week that resistance for the stock lies in the zone of 960 to 970 where short term moving averages and Fibonacci levels are lying. If the stock manages to close above these levels then the stock can move to the levels of 990 to 1000 where medium term moving averages and Fibonacci level is lying. During the week the stock manages to hit a high of 958 and close the week around the levels of 942.
Support for the stock lies in the zone of 935 to 940 from where the stock has broken out of the consolidation zone and where Fibonacci level are lying. If the stock manages to close below these levels then the stock can drift to the levels of 920 to 930.
Minor resistance for the stock lies in the zone of 944 to 946. Resistance for the stock lies in the zone of 965 to 970 from where the stock broke down from consolidation zone and Fibonacci level is lying. If the stock manages to close above these levels then the stock can move to the levels of 990 to 1000 where medium term moving averages and Fibonacci level is lying.
Broad range for the stock in the coming week is seen between 910 to 920 on downside to 970 to 980 on upside.

The last two writing sample illustrates how continual practice with detailed reading and whole class text patterning can eventually enable all students to write effectively across the curriculum.
The following poem was jointly written by two of the weakest students in the project. These students had not been known to write at all before the project began. It was written following a detailed reading of a poem from the novel So Much to Tell You by John Marsden. Marsden's poem uses metaphor to encode a message that reflects on a personality and relationship. A new poem was then jointly constructed by the whole class, patterned on Marsden's, and the students were asked to write their own.
Although the poem is apparently very simple, a large set of written language resources are used to encode a message about life. This achievement is particularly striking as these students' literacy skills would be assessed at Stage 1 (Years 1-2) before the project commenced.
In sample 8 the genre is an interpretation, that is it interprets the message of a text, in this case Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. The interpretation genre was modelled and practised by the whole class over time, and students were then asked to write their own interpretation. The task was to interpret the message of a novel from the perspective of 'chance'.
The Grapes of Wrath is a story of a poor family living on a farm whose living is destroyed by drought (a natural force). By chance (fate) they are forced to leave their farm to work. In doing so they took a great risk because they had no home and no job, and were going by chance to find these.
When they do find work their labour is exploited through low wages, poor working conditions, inadequate housing and poor quality food. They had not achieved the certainty they had taken a risk for. Only a few had the collective vision to organise (planning) to strike for better conditions. In doing so, however, these people, like the character Tom, take a great risk with their lives. Tom feels any risk is worth it to make life better.
The Grapes of Wrath is a story of how chance can affect a whole generation of people.
In some respects sample 8 is not as successful as sample 6 above. This is partly because the task of interpreting a message in a novel is far more complex than writing a story patterned on a reading. On the other hand, this student is able to produce the key elements of synopsis and reflections to interpret the text, using the criteria of 'chance' set in the task. The student also has a strong command of the field of the text, is able to construct an argument using written conjunctions, and is able to use objective appraisals appropriately.

Welcome to MarketingStartups.com, I'm Nathan Burke.
The goal of this site is to share startup marketing strategy, relevant news stories, and to help other marketers. Marketing at a startup is both art and science, and there is no single set of activities and tactics that will work for everyone. This isn't easy. In this blog, I'll share what I've learned, and hope to help others as I document and experiment.
Well, it all started on March 16, 1979 in a small town in Upstate New York…….okay, maybe I won't go back that far. I went to college at Northeastern University and graduated with a degree in Sociology and Cinema Studies in 2002. After graduating, I joined the Boston-based high tech law firm of Gesmer Updegrove LLP as their webmaster.
Over the years at the firm, I started getting excited about blogging and new media marketing, and launched my own blog, lawfirmblogging.com. With that blog, I was able to share ideas, build a community, and learn more about marketing within the legal community.
I dove head-first into blogging and social media, sold lawfirmblogging.com and made the change to the startup world, joining matchmine in April of 2007. Working at a startup was the most exciting thing possible for me. Late nights, crazy lists of work to do, and a passionate group of dedicated people working toward a shared goal resulted in the perfect job for me.
In October of 2008, matchmine closed its doors, and I opened mine. I consulted for a bit until I joined Waltham-based startup Aprigo in March of 2009. Aprigo then changed to CloudLock, and I stayed until May of 2013.
I then joined Cambridge-based MineralTree, an Accounts Payable automation software startup, where I became VP of Marketing.
In April of 2015, I joined Intralinks, a public company bringing a new, secure collaboration product to companies with extremely sensitive data. 8 months later, I joined Automated Incident Response startup Hexadite, where I currently lead the marketing department.

Q: match pages corresponding to the wikipedia content from the wikipedia sql dumps Referring to the description:
Wikipedia:Contents categorises types of articles in Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents
I want to extract all of the articles referring to types of contents, like Outlines, Lists. These articles are in the same namespace as normal articles, so filtering pages by namespace did not work.
I looked at info at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/What%27s_available_for_download
and at content and content models tables in :
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Content_models_table
but I could not find a way to solve the problem.

*

*How could I extract the pageids, or titles, of the pages that belongs to types of content as Outline and List, mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents ?

*Which Dumps contains such info ?

A: I've used this query at Quarry which I think does what you're asking:
SELECT page_title,page_id from page
Where (page_title LIKE 'List_%'
    OR page_title LIKE 'Outline_%')
and page_is_redirect = 0
and page_namespace = 0

You can see the results here: https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/71439

What Is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is a crime that involves exploiting a person for labor, services or commercial sex. The United States Department of Justice classifies human trafficking into two major categories:
Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing or soliciting of a person for the purposes of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act is 17 or younger.
Labor trafficking involves the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision or obtainment of a person through the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage or slavery.
Those trafficked are of all ages, races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds and citizenship statuses. Traffickers can be anyone, including family members, intimate partners, business owners and community leaders. Trafficking occurs in various industries, such as restaurants, massage parlors, hotels, factories, domestic services, child care, health care and sexually oriented businesses.
The Office of the Attorney General of Texas created the film "Be the One" about preventing, recognizing and reporting human trafficking. In the film, survivors share their experiences and the impacts of human trafficking. Note: The following film contains stories that some viewers may find triggering or upsetting. Viewer discretion is advised.

How Do I Identify Human Trafficking in My Practice?
Many trafficked persons interact with the health care system while being trafficked. Health care providers often do not recognize the signs of trafficking or are unsure of how to help. Trafficked persons often do not disclose their situation.
The following lists indicators, or Red flags, to look for when treating your patients.
Frequent treatment of sexually transmitted infections or injuries
Multiple unwanted pregnancies
Fractures or burns
Gastrointestinal problems
Skin or respiratory problems caused by exposure to agricultural or other chemicals
Communicable and non-communicable diseases
Oral health issues, including broken teeth
Signs of concussions, traumatic brain injuries or unexplained memory loss
Unwilling to answer questions about their health
Unable to concentrate or provide basic information including age, address or time
Gives confusing or contradicting information
Abuses substances
Has depression or anxiety
Appears nervous or avoids eye contact
Has post-traumatic stress disorder
Other Indicators of Trafficking
Another person appears to be in control and does not let them answer questions
Reports a high number of sexual encounters
Does not have possession of their own identification documents
Lives in an overcrowded area or at their workplace
Has tattoos or branding of ownership
Wears inappropriate clothing for the weather or venue
Learn more about required training for health care practitioners on the Health Care Practitioner Human Trafficking Training page.
What Should I Do if I Suspect a Patient Is Being Trafficked?
If a health care provider suspects their patient is being trafficked, the provider should try to speak with the patient privately without anyone who is accompanying them. Private conversations help to establish trust and allow the patient to share information about their situation in a safe environment. Heath care organizations should establish protocols on responding to human trafficking, including screening methods and questions to ask potential trafficked persons.
Screening Tools for Health Care Practitioners
Commercial Sexual Exploitation-Identification Tool (CSE-IT)
CSE-IT is a research-based screening tool that helps improve early identification of commercially sexually exploited youth. West Coast Children's Clinic developed this tool, which is currently used in Texas and other states and across various sectors.
Learn more about CSE-IT on the Office of the Texas Governor Child Sex Trafficking Team website and on the West Coast Children's Center website.
Short Child Sex Trafficking Screen for the Health care Setting
Dr. Jordan Greenbaum with The Institute on Healthcare and Human Trafficking developed this validated screening tool for assessing teenagers seeking health care in the United States.
Adult Human Trafficking Screening Tool and Guide
Administration for Children and Families designed this survivor-centered, trauma-informed and culturally appropriate screening tool and guide. It can help health care providers in various sectors assess adult patients or clients for signs of potential exploitation or risk of being exploited.
Learn more about the Adult Human Trafficking Screening Tool and Guide on the U.S. Office on Trafficking In Persons website.
Trafficking Victim Identification Tool and Manual
Vera Institute for Justice developed this tool and manual, which are intended primarily for victim service agency staff and other social service providers who are screening potential adult and child trafficking victims. Law enforcement, health care and shelter workers will also find it helpful in improving trafficking victim identification, especially in conjunction with appropriate training or mentoring.
Learn more and download the tool on the Vera Institute for Justice website.
If You Identify a Clear Concern Your Patient Has Been Trafficked
Provide medical care.
Follow mandatory state reporting laws and institutional policies of abuse to a child, elderly person, or person with a disability or reporting that a child is unaccompanied by an adult.
Follow institutional policies for reporting to law enforcement if the patient is in immediate, life-threatening danger. Whenever possible, try to work with the patient in deciding to contact law enforcement.
Offer the patient the National Human Trafficking Hotline number, 888-373-7888, and text number, 233733. Encourage them to call if they want help or to talk to someone. If the patient believes it is dangerous to have the numbers written, help them memorize the numbers. A common technique is to break the phone number into smaller segments, such as 888-37-37-888. The text number 233733 spells BeFree.
Provide the patient with options for services, reporting and resources.
Include safety planning in the discharge planning process.
Ensure information regarding the patient's injuries or treatment is fully and accurately documented in the patient's records.

Boone County's first higher education center opened this week.
The 20,000-square-foot Gene Haas Training and Education Center will offer 600-hour training programs for computer numerical control, industrial maintenance and metrology, which is the study of measurements.
Vincennes University will operate the facility, which is located at 321 N. Mount Zion Road in Lebanon. It opened Wednesday.
According to data from Vincennes University, the state will need 7,000 new computer numerical control machinists—who use computers to control machine tools—within the next five years.
The Lebanon Redevelopment Authority, which owns the center, approved a $5.5 million bond in 2014 to cover the costs of construction. Lease payments are expected to help pay for the bond.
The Gene Haas Foundation also contributed $1.5 million to help build the center. Gene Haas, founder and president of Oxnard, California-based machine tool builder Haas Automation created the foundation in 1999.
Boone County Economic Development Corporation executive director Molly Whitehead said it's the county's first higher education facility and the only option for manufacturing training in the area. The only similar facility in the state is the Haas Technical Education Center located at the Indiana Center for Applied Technology in Vincennes.
Whitehead said employers will be able to partner with the training center to send staff to the available programs. Subaru Indiana Automotive, Inc. in Lafayette has already enrolled employees and has been renting space in Lebanon while construction on the facility was completed.
She said the new facility will help her market Boone County to outside manufacturing and industrial companies looking to relocate or expand.
The center will also offer programs for veterans and is expected to partner with local schools in the future.

Parachuting - leaping from "perfectly good aircraft"- is done worldwide as a recreational aviation activity for pleasure and for sporting competition by people of many ages. That exciting experience is commonly known as "skydiving". The terms jumper and parachutist are used interchangeably. Chalk Number is a number assigned to an aircraft for identification purposes. It is used primarily to designated the position of aircraft being loaded or unloaded. Stick is a number of paratroopers who jump from one aperture or door of an aircraft during one run over the Drop Zone [DZ], the specific area upon which airborne troops, equipment, or supplies are airdropped.
The 82d Airborne Division's mission is to "deploy worldwide within 18 hours of notification, execute a parachute assault, conduct combat operations, and win." Seizing an airfield is critical to the success of combat operations. Airfield seizures are executed to secure key terrain that can be used to create a lodgment that will enable the continuous flow of combat power and supplies into an area of operations. Normally, two infantry battalions under the command and control of a brigade task force headquarters execute airfield seizures.
Delivery sequence and the time/space between equipment and personnel serials is scheduled to provide the absolute minimum time and distance between each separate aircraft and between each aircraft serial. The goal is to assemble maximum combat power on the drop zone as rapidly as possible. An airborne force may be delivered using heavy equipment followed in 30 seconds to one minute by personnel. In this sequence, the heavy equipment and personnel aircraft fly in the same serial in normal trail formation. Aircraft separation is 2000 feet (7 seconds) during VMC conditions. Lateral dispersion between aircraft is about 130 feet to keep trailing aircraft out of the turbulence caused by lead aircraft. The minimum drop altitude for a G-11 parachute for heavy equipment is 800 feet AGL, but with a G-12E parachute the minimum drop altitude for CDS is 550 feet AGL. If personnel aircraft follow heavy equipment aircraft with less than one-minute separation, they must fly at the same altitude. The drop altitude for MC1-1C parachute airborne operations will be 1500 feet AGL. Approval to modify this requirement to maintain unit proficiency for contingency operations must be obtained through the G3 Air.
Delivery sequences involving C-17s require special considerations. C-17 Multiple Ship Formations will be flown in an Echelon Upwind Formation, with a minimum of 32,000 feet (5 minutes) between the lead aircraft of each echelon. The Echelon Upwind Formation is required to decrease separation time while minimizing the effect of wake vortices. C-17s require SKE to perform personnel formation airdrop. For personnel formations performing GPS drops below 1000 AGL, the minimum DZ width, using center PPI, is 1240 yards for 2-ship elements and 1800 yards for 3-ship elements. When using offset PPIs, minimum width is 1100 yards for 2-ship elements and 1300 yards for 3-ship elements. The Airborne Commander must consider the effects that the greater time separation and dispersion of paratroopers on the drop zone has on the ground tactical plan. Additionally, C-17 formations should fly in the lead when mixed aircraft types are used for personnel drops due to greater maintenance reliability and VFR/IFR flight capabilities.
A Pathfinder is highly motivated, specially trained warrior who is typically inserted by helicopter or parachute, behind enemy lines 48-72 hours before assault operations to select, improve, mark and control aircraft coming into landing, pick-up, and drop zones. The mission of a Pathfinder is providing navigational assistance and advisory services to military aircraft in areas designated by supported unit commanders.
Some Drop Zones [DZ] are selected to support highly mobile ground forces, but are not surveyed. Drop zone size is determined by mode of delivery, actual load dispersal statistics, and personal knowledge. Recovery of air items and air load are considered, For example, small trees covering the entire DZ might limit recovery of air items but allow 100 percent recovery of the air loads. Drop Zones are measured in yards when working with Air Force aircraft. They are measured in meters when working with Army aircraft. The minimum size DZ for one parachutist from a single aircraft is 600 yards wide and 600 yards long. For each added parachutist, 75 yards is added to the length. The minimum DZ is 600 yards by 1,000 yards for a drop of one heavy equipment platform from a single aircraft. For each other platform, 400 yards is added to the DZ length. For C-141 aircraft, 500 yards is added to the minimum length for each added platform.
Airborne operations have changed little since World War II.
The alpha echelon of infantrymen, artillerymen, and engineers execute a parachute assault to conduct and support airfield seizure. An airborne operation begins at parachute-hour (P-hour), which is when the first paratrooper exits the first aircraft. Once on the ground, airborne troops must get out of the parachute harness, ready weapons for operation, pick up equipment, and move to the planned assembly area.
The bravo echelon is made up of personnel who do not jump but arrive on fixed-wing aircraft. If the airfield has only minimal damage, the bravo echelon should begin arriving at P+6 (6 hours after the first jumper leaves the first aircraft). The rest of the infantry battalion arrive among these elements.
As the jumpers are loading the aircraft, the Primary Jumpmaster ensures that a member of the team ensures that the appropriate adjustable leg strap has been routed around each jumper's leg. Also at this time, the Jumpmaster Team conducts the jumpmaster/pilot crew brief IAW the 82d ABN DIV ASOP CH 13, ensure the aircraft has been loaded properly, and that the loadmaster conducts a safety brief, to include emergency procedures.
At take off the Primary Jumpmaster must ensure that all jumpers have their ballistic helmets secured, and they are awake and alert. As the Primary Jumpmaster during flight he remains awake and alert so he can stay orientated at all times. At the 20 minute time warning the jumpmaster team issues the warning and ensure that all jumpers are awake and they secure there ballistic helmets. The safeties at the 20-minute time warning attach all special items of equipment and conduct a technical inspection. At the ten minute time warning the Jumpmasters hook up to the appropriate anchor line cable and conduct all time warnings and jump commands and exit all paratroopers from the aircraft.
The Primary Jumpmaster is the last paratrooper to exit the aircraft. He ensures that the assistant jumpmaster exits the aircraft, checks jump caution lights, and exits. Upon exiting the aircraft the Primary Jumpmaster has completed his duty and responsibility as the primary jumpmaster. The Primary Jumpmaster can delegate authority but not responsibility.
In addition to personnel requirements for conducting airfield seizures, military equipment is required. Most of the equipment arrives on vehicles that are heavy-dropped before the paratroopers jump. A heavy drop is defined as any large piece of equipment that can be rigged to a G-11B heavy-cargo parachute. The heavy-drop equipment is rigged before the plane is loaded, and, immediately before any paratroopers jump, Air Force personnel push the loads from the ramp of the aircraft for deployment on the battlefield.
Every airborne operation is adversely affected by winds. This is particularly true for ballistic operations such as cargo parachute deliveries where objects are released from an aircraft to fall to the ground without guidance controls. The problem is exaggerated as operations are driven to high altitudes because of ground threats. This was the case during the high altitude airdrop of humanitarian relief supplies to Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1993. If the wind field at the delivery area is known, the release point can be adjusted to compensate for the intervening winds.
Most airborne operations will be tactical and individual actions must reflect the conditions on the DZ. These conditions can vary greatly and are impossible to predict with complete certainty but will always follow basic guidelines: immediately upon landing, individual paratroopers will prepare their weapons and equipment to execute their combat mission while positioning themselves and recovering their equipment in a way to minimize their exposure to enemy observation and fire. Actions reflect conditions: in some cases, for example on an FLS under enemy observation, conditions will dictate the paratrooper remain in the prone until ready to crawl or IMT towards assembly. In other cases, troopers can use terrain or a lack of enemy action to recover equipment on a knee or in a crouch.
Speed is critical. The sooner troops secure the assault objectives, the better the odds for a successful mission. Units do not wait in assembly areas until 80, 90, or 100% of the unit is assembled. Commanders determine before the jump the minimum number of troops required to seize and secure the unit's assault objective, then when that number of men have assembled (to include any "lost' troopers from their units who happen to stumble into that particular assembly area), the senior man present takes charge of the group and strikes out for the assault objective. Paratroopers leave a two-man buddy team behind to inform leaders and other troops from the unit who reach the assembly area later "where everybody went." If an assembly plan won't work even if troopers are delivered to the wrong DZ, or even if they are delivered off the DZ then it is not an assembly plan. Leaders should never by-pass a trooper on the DZ. Leaders must police up every jumper wandering around the Drop Zone and either point him in the right direction, or take him with them. Troopers must understand that they cannot stop on the DZ to help their buddies who were hurt on the jump. Speed is critical, and every trooper is needed to seize and secure the assault objective.
After the demise of the best Airborne plan, a most terrifying effect occurs on the battlefield. This effect is known as the rule of the LGOPs (Little Groups of Paratroopers). This is, in its purest form, small groups of pissed-off 19 year old American paratroopers. They are well trained. They are armed to the teeth and lack serious adult supervision. They collectively remember the Commander's intent as "March to the sound of the guns and kill anyone who is not dressed like you" - or something like that. Happily they go about the day's work...
The infantry battalions clear their assigned areas and expand the lodgment. The bravo echelon arrives once the field landing site is cleared and repaired. When the planes arriving with the bravo echelon land and the vehicles and equipment are offloaded, the arrival airfield control group receives the vehicles and places them into unit chalks (convoy groups).
Air Force Special Tactics (ST) operator forces consist of combat controllers (CCT), pararescuemen (PJs), and special operations weathermen (SOWT). ST personnel are designated as combat forces assigned to Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). ST personnel plan, prepare, and, when directed, integrate, synchronize, and control the elements of air and space power to execute air missions in support of the commander?s objectives. Core competencies (what we do) include assault zone assessment, establishment, and control; combat search and rescue/personnel recovery; battlefield trauma care; terminal attack control (controlling and sequencing fire support air assets for special operations); and tactical weather observations and forecasting. ST forces provide a unique capability and deploy with air, ground, and maritime forces in the execution of Direct Action, Combating Terrorism, Foreign Internal Defense, Humanitarian Assistance, Coalition Support, Counter-Drug, Combat Search and Rescue, and Special Reconnaissance missions.
Terminal guidance aids and control measures are used on the ground in the objective area to assist and guide incoming airlift aircraft to the designated DZs/LZs. Combat Control Teams [CCT] comprised of Air Force personnel are organized, trained, and equipped to provide aircraft terminal guidance. Army teams from the Long Range Surveillance Unit (LRSU), a divisional asset, are organized, trained, and equipped to deploy into the objective area and conduct R&S operations before the deployment of the airborne force. The combination of the CCT and LRS teams is known as the Joint Airborne Advance Party [JAAP].
The CCT's mission is to locate, identify, and mark the DZ/LZ and to establish and operate navigational aids and ATC communications. This assists and guides airlift aircraft to the appropriate DZ/LZ. Long-range surveillance teams place under surveillance one or two NAI in the objective area. They observe and report to the ground force commander. One of the assigned NAI are usually the main body DZ/FLS.
The ground force commander develops plans to deploy the CCT and LRS teams during the planning stage of an airborne operation. Because of the risk of compromise in deploying teams into the objective area before the assault phase, the timing for employment and method of delivery is determined jointly by the airborne and airlift commanders. They consider the requirement for CCTs to be fully operational in minimum time after reaching the DZ/LZ.
The CCT's mission is to quickly establish assault zones (DZs/LZs) in austere and nonpermissive environments. The mission includes initially placing en route and terminal navigational aids; controlling air traffic; providing communications; and removing obstacles and unexploded ordnance with demolitions. Each team consists of Air Force parachutists trained and equipped for mobile operations. A standard team is composed of 2 officers and 24 enlisted men; however, a commander may tailor manning authorizations as required.
The Army LRS team in the airborne assault conducts R&S operations on one or two NAI in the objective area. The team also observes and reports on the status of the DZ/FLS. The LRSU in the airborne division consists of six teams of six men each. The team leader is a SSG; his assistant is a SGT. There are three SP4 scout/observers and one PFC RATELO. All members of the team carry the basic infantry MOS and are required to be parachute qualified. The team leader is coded as an airborne ranger.


Michael Connelly's first novel The Black Echo came out in 1992, and I became an instant fan. I grew up in Southern California, which is Connelly's beat. I saw him at a writer's conference in Manhattan a few years ago, and he acknowledged Raymond Chandler and Robert Towne (writer of the superb film Chinatown) as major influences. Like Chandler and Towne, Connelly makes integral use of Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The locations figure as settings and at times, characters.
Just today, I finished Bosch Season 4 on Amazon. Ten episodes, about 50 minutes each. Wow, it's the best season yet. The writing is top notch. Smart and topical, not dumbed-down. No clichés or aimless sensation. It's straight-ahead investigative drama that's confident it has a story to tell. Michael Connelly doesn't usually write the scripts themselves, but he co-wrote episode 9, and for various reasons, it shows. Each episode ends in a cliffhanger, and there are several twists and shockers.
Harry finally solves the 40-yr-old murder of his mother, which ties in to the current murder of a well-known African American defense attorney who became an anti-racism activist right before his death. There's even a sub-plot about Chinese gangs and money-laundering. Because it involves Harry's ex-wife, this part feels relevant, not like a violation of the show's overall unity.
I enjoyed the superb location shooting, which carries on the Los Angeles tradition of Raymond Chandler. Within the first few minutes of Episode 1, we're at the Biltmore Hotel, the Bradbury Building and Angels Flight. The show makes great use of the city, from the L.A. River to Baldwin Hills, San Gabriel, and local burrito trucks. There are also contemplative sunset moments in the vast desert around Borrego Springs down by the Salton Sea. This non-urban detail links the L.A. detective story to the Western, another great genre set in the same part of the United States. There is even a surprise location, but you have to wait until later in the show to discover it.
It's a generous show, by which I mean the supporting characters get their time in the sun. Bosch is clearly the lead, but everyone on his team contributes essential details to the cases. Bosch is not the best communicator, so his partner Jerry Edgar (Jamie Hector) learns how to work with greater independence while recovering from a bullet wound. Their section commander is the tough and humane Acting Cpt. Grace Billets (Amy Aquino). All the cops wish they could have a boss like her. The chief presiding over all their work is the cold, commanding but honest Chief Irving (Lance Reddick). Even the old-school homicide cops "Crate & Barrel" (detectives Johnson and Moore) aren't there just for comic relief – they actually solve a cold case. Bosch's daughter Maddy (Madison Lintz) is a senior in high school but displays some shrewd independent investigative work of her own. In the books, she mentions wanting to become a detective herself one day.
Good investigative drama is rare. But investigation is the heart of Bosch. The show is at its most gripping when Harry is by himself looking for something. Those are quiet moments but wonderfully tense, because we just know he's going to find something groundbreaking.
This is dramatic television at its very best. I can't wait for Season 5!


Oxford Insight Meditation offers a programme of day retreats led by teachers associated with Gaia House. The retreats offer an opportunity to explore both sitting and walking meditation in a supportive environment. The teachers normally provide guidance through meditation instruction, a dharma talk, and a question and answer session.
On the retreat day, please arrive for registration between 9.15 - 9.45am. The retreat finishes around 5pm.
You can book for a single retreat, or multiple retreats, on this site. There are no "tickets" for the retreats - when booking your place on a retreat, you will simply be asked to fill out your name (and/or the names of any others you are booking for) so that you/they will appear on our bookings list for the day of the retreat.
You don't have to have an account with Eventbrite to register for retreats. However, you may want to create an Eventbrite account if you plan on registering for retreats regularly, since this makes the process quicker for you, and you can log in to your Eventbrite account to view and manage your bookings.
Payment is made through Paypal. Please note that you don't need to have, or register for, a Paypal account to make a payment through Paypal.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite until 12 noon on the day before the retreat. After that time, you can try contacting Amy about ticket availability (07398145352).
We offer "concessionary" tickets (at roughly half price) for people who think the concessionary rate might apply to them. This may, for example, include those who are unemployed, full-time students, retired individuals, or those who are otherwise finding it difficult to meet the cost.
To purchase concessionary tickets, click the "Register" button on this webpage, and then in the new window click "Enter promotional code" and enter the code "CONC". The page will then update with concessionary pricing.
Note that you cannot purchase full-price and concessionary tickets in the same order on Eventbrite - please make two separate orders if you need to purchase tickets within both categories.
We ask that you consider paying the full rate if you are reasonably able, to support the continuation of the retreats. If you wish to attend a retreat but are having difficulty meeting our costs please contact Amy (07398145352 or abilderbeck@p1vital.com).
Eventbrite booking fees. There is a small charge for online booking to support our online booking system (£1.20 per ticket), but as there is no postage cost, the overall increase in cost is small. There is no booking fee for online purchase of concessionary tickets, which are £5 each.
We offer refunds and re-bookings for each retreat up until 48 hours prior to the retreat (typically 10am on the Thursday before that retreat).
How to request a re-book. You may no longer be able to attend a certain retreat, but are interested in attending on a different retreat day. We are usually able to accommodate this. Please email abilderbeck@p1vital.com, or text 07398145352, indicating the retreat you want to cancel your place on, and the retreat you would like to attend instead.
How to request a refund. If you have an Eventbrite account, and have booked your tickets through that account, you can request a refund (find the Eventbrite "Help" section and search for "Can I get a refund?"). Otherwise please email Amy (abilderbeck@p1vital.com) with details of your refund request. You can indicate when contacting us by either method if you want to cancel your place on the retreat but do not require a refund.
How refunds work. If you have paid via Paypal within the last 180 days, we are easily able to transfer the booking fee back to you electronically, minus a small processing charge. If more than 180 days have passed since you made the booking, there are two options: we can either transfer the booking fee back to your PayPall account (this is assuming that you have one, or are willing to set one up), OR we can send you a cheque in the post, minus a £1 processing charge.
Please do let us know if you cannot make it to a retreat on which you are booked, since our retreats do sometimes end up fully booked, and your place could be used by another attendee.
If a retreat is listed as fully booked, and you wish to be added to the waiting list for that retreat, please email Amy (abilderbeck@p1vital.com) or text 07398145352 with your name and a preferred method of contact, so we can get in touch with you if a place becomes available.
We still accept bookings through the post, paid by cash, postal order, or cheque. If you prefer to do this rather than booking online, please go to our main website (link provided below) and download our booking form which contains information on how to do this.

Pokemon Go App Putting Real People in Real Danger, Reports Show
By Piering Law Firm
If you ever watched Pokemon as a child and thought, "I wish I could be a pokemon trainer, roaming the world and trying to catch them all!" Then you're in luck! In early July, game developer Niantic released the now widely popular, free-to-play app called Pokemon Go that now gives everyone the ability to live out their childhood dream of "catching them all."
Unfortunately, using the app does not come without risks. As numerous reports explain, the app requires users to navigate through the real world in order to collect creatures in the game. For some, the allure of catching them all has been too great, which has resulted in accidents between pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles due to distraction on the part of the user.
But it's not just pedestrians and bicyclists who are to blame for these collisions. Reports from other countries, such as the one published by The Guardian last month, indicate that young drivers are starting to use the app while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. Not only is this behavior distracting, it's also incredibly reckless and could lead to a serious accident as well.
While many people agree that the game has its benefits -- such as getting people outside and exercising -- there is no ignoring the danger it presents to people who do not remain aware of their surroundings or choose to act negligently, such as playing the game while driving.
The hope is that as the game grows in popularity, so too does the community's awareness of the dangers it presents and that users start to take a more proactive approach to preventing accidents and serious injuries from occurring.

Cell (Biology): An Overview of Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells
What Is the Difference Between NADH and NADPH?
••• Motortion/iStock/GettyImages
Three Components of ATP
By Kevin Beck
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, is in all living cells, where it functions as a coenzyme. It exists in either an oxidized form, NAD+, which can accept a hydrogen atom (i.e., a proton), or a reduced form, NADH, which can donate a hydrogen atom. Note that "donate a proton" and "accept a pair of electrons" translates to the same thing in biochemistry.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADP+, is a similar molecule with a similar function, differing from NAD+ in that it contains an additional phosphate group. The oxidized form is NADP+, while the reduced form is NADPH.
NADH Basics
NADH contains two phosphate groups linked by an oxygen molecule. Each phosphate group joins a five-carbon ribose sugar. One of these in turn links to an adenine molecule, while the other links to a nicotinamide molecule. The transition from NAD+ to NADH occurs specifically at the nitrogen molecule in the ring structure of nicotinamide.
NADH takes part in metabolism by accepting and donating electrons, with the energy driving this flowing from the cellular citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. This electron transport occurs in cellular mitochrondrial membranes.
NADPH Basics
NADPH also contains two phosphate groups linked by an oxygen molecule. As in NADH, each phosphate group joins a five-carbon ribose sugar. One of these in turn links to an adenine molecule, while the other links to a nicotinamide molecule. Unlike the case with NADH, however, the same five-carbon ribose sugar that joins adenine carries a second phosphate group, for a total of three phosphate groups in total. The transition from NADP+ to NADPH again occurs at the nitrogen molecule in the ring structure of nicotinamide.
NADPH's main job is participating in the synthesis of carbohydrates in photosynthetic organisms, such as plants. It helps power the Calvin cycle. It also has antioxidant functions.
Proposed Functions of Both NADH and NADPH
In addition to the direct contributions to cellular metabolism described above, both NADH and NADPH may take part in other important physiological processes, including mitochondrial functions, calcium regulation, antioxidation and its counterpart (the generation of oxidative stress), gene expression, immune functions, the aging process and cell death. As a result, some biochemistry researchers have proposed that further investigation of the less well-established properties of NADH and NADPH may offer more insight about the fundamental properties of life and reveal strategies for not only treating diseases but even slowing the aging process.

One of the greatest things about working/living in the 500 Seneca building is the accessibility to amenities within the building. Not only is there a restaurant, an incredible common area, and a plethora of like-minded businesses, there are also other conveniences and comforts taking hold – Crown Buffalo, for example.
Cuts, barber, styling, color, texture, extensions, bridal, makeup, face waxing.
According to one of Crown Buffalo's clients, Danielle Rose, Crown's owner looks at her salon in different ways than most salon owners. "The owner is a young, extremely talented woman by the name of Erin Moser," said Danielle. "She has worked at a couple of salons in the city and had aspirations to open her own place. Crown opened about a month ago.
The first + only GoodDyeYoung Pro's in Buffalo.
Housed in the oldest part of the factory – originally built starting in 1901 – crown is so proud to call the former F.N. Burt our home.
For those not familiar with the 500 Seneca Building, it is located in-between Larkinville and Downtown Buffalo (learn more). Crown Salon is located next to Animal Outfitters, another business that opened in the building earlier this year (see here).
Crown Salon is a welcome addition to this incredible development that continues to impress.

i want to create schedulerFactoryBean without any quartz.properties, because my client dont want to change any database connection inside the war archieve.
is it possible to create schedulerFactoryBean without any quartz.properties ?

A: You can configure it without properties file in this way;
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName", "Scheduler_test");
p.put("org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount", 2);
...
StdSchedulerFactory factory = new StdSchedulerFactory(p);

Spirit Photography, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and The footnoteMaven
Lidian, of The Virtual Dime Museum, commented on the recent Shades articles concerning Spirit Photography. She mentioned that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had been taken in by spirit photography as had many others. This is the perfect segue into how spirit photography, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the footnoteMaven come together at a point in time. My six degrees of separation.
In April 1922, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle traveled from England on board the White Star Liner, Baltic, with his wife, Lady Doyle, and their three children to lecture at Carnegie Hall on "the after life."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's oldest son had died in the war. During a seance in England the boy had returned and had begged his father's pardon for refusing to help in the Doyle family seances before the war and had come back to his father by those very means. Doyle said that after the spirit of his son had received its pardon it placed its hand upon Sir Arthur's head, kissed him on the brow and disappeared. It appears Doyle believed because he needed to believe, wanted desperately to believe.
Louis Salter, my Great Grandfather, was the manager of Carnegie Hall when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lectured there, April 12, 1922. The lecture was illustrated with stereopticon views. The stereoptician was my Grandfather, Edward Jesse Greene. What I wouldn't give to have been there. Below is the letter from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's manager, Lee Keedick, detailing the work and confirming my Grandfather would receive $20 for his services.
Lee Keedick Ltr.
To My Grandfather
Also included here is one of the only known brochures distributed by Keedick for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's lecture at Carnegie Hall. It tells the story of Doyle's spiritualism.
Tomorrow Shades will continue the story with Doyle's reception at Carnegie Hall and what my Grandfather witnessed.
THE NEW REVELATION
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whose achievements as an author have placed him in the front ranks of the literary world, has aroused worldwide interest in recent years by his investigations of psychic phenomena. Today he holds a foremost position among the increasing number of eminent men engaged in psychical research, who have labored conscientiously to supply conclusive answers to those great questions of the ages: "After death, what?" "can the dead communicate with the living?" Carrying into this work the profundity of thought and marvelous powers of deduction which brought him fame as a writer, this brilliant Englishman has become convinced that human survival beyond the grave can be absolutely proved.
In response to a host of invitations, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has consented to make a brief American tour and deliver a series of three lectures under the title of "The New Revelation." These lectures will be divided as follows: (1) The Scientific Side, (2) The Religious Side, (3) Recent Public Evidence. The lecture last named will be illustrated with stereopticon views. (The stereopticon operator was my Grandfather, Edward Jesse Greene.)
It can be confidently predicted that the audiences will greet Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in this country will more than equal those he has addressed in Great Britain and other parts of the world. During his recent tour in Australia he aroused such intense enthusiasm that the largest halls were repeated crowded by the vast numbers of people eager to hear his lectures. On leaving for England he was publicly presented with an illuminated address in recognition of his splendid work.
It is not generally know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle entered the field of science before he achieved fame as a writer. He is an L.L.D. of Edinburgh University, and as a practicing physician in London he made a name in the medical profession before producing his first novel. The training enabled him to supply a scientific background for his famous stories of mystery, in which his great character, "Sherlock Holmes," filled the leading role as a detector of bewildering crimes. For a generation past these remarkable stories, in which amazing powers of invention and deduction are shown, have been read and admired by millions throughout the English speaking world.
In addition to producing numerous novel and serious works, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been a prolific contributor to the leading magazines and other periodicals, his articles, in recent years, having dealt very largely with psychical research. His work in this connection has taken him to all quarters of the globe. He has traveled from the arctic to the equator, through South Africa and America. From the beginning he has been an earnest inquirer along scientific lines.
The war intensified Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's efforts in the field of psychical research because of the bereavement it occasioned in tens of thousands of homes and the bitter need for consolation that existed. Armed with the convincing proofs that he has gathered, he has journeyed up and down Great Britain during the last four ears, relating his experiences on the lecture platform and everywhere attracting large audiences. His stand on the subject of spirit-communication he has summed up in the following words: "I was a materialist at one time and would be a materialist today if it were not for the overwhelming proof of a future existence which has come to me personally, in addition to the evidence put forward by such great leaders of thought as Sir Alfred Russell Wallace, Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge and Caesar Lombroso. I have spoken face to face with eleven relatives and friends, discussing intimate matters known only to ourselves. It is positive knowledge of this kind which makes me go forth to teach others that which I have learned myself. As to the religious aspect, I number among my acquaintances and supporters clergymen of various denominations, who find there is nothing in this grand and consoling message that can injure those fundamentals which the believer may value."
In his lectures in this country Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will not confine himself to a mere discussion of theories, but will present the very latest evidence on the subject of life after death, including actual photographs illustrating psychic phenomena, which will be thrown upon the screen. He will relate his experiences and sum up the conclusions he has been able to reach.
Finally, it may be emphasized that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is not only one of the greatest living English authors, but for over twenty years he has been noted as a public speaker. Into his work as a lecturer he brings all the magnetism, forcefulness and charm of style that have made him a famous writer. Personally, he is a big man, physically as well as mentally, and he has always taken a deep interest in athletic sports. This has been reflected in his great works of imagination, of which a leading critic has said: "You find in them a hearty love of sport, a healthful and broad outlook and a genial, charitable, sunny philosophy of life."
Such is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who will shortly appear before American audiences to relate in detail his investigation of the unseen world and to present the proofs of what he sincerely believes. He will assuredly be accorded a splendid welcome as one who has "read much, traveled much, worked much – and lived more."
