Timothy W Kelly
Timothy W. Kelly, Of Counsel
Attorney Timothy W. Kelly is an experienced, innovative litigator who has obtained excellent results advocating for those injured by the negligence of others.
Owner of Kelly & Castagna Law Offices in Bloomington, Illinois for 27 years, Tim has represented countless families whose lives have been tragically changed because of medical malpractice or catastrophic injuries from automobile accident and workplace injuries. After retiring from his practice in January 2022, Tim joined Meyers & Flowers of counsel.
His experience and integrity as a lawyer is confirmed by his selection by fellow attorneys to act as a mediator in arbitrating more than 500 injury cases, most of them being medical malpractice.
I have the unique perspective of sitting down with the insurance company representatives and finding out how they evaluate cases: what cases scare them, what cases they want to settle and what cases they will take to trial. It has helped me tremendously in sorting through medical malpractice cases from a plaintiff's point of view because I can look at a case and have a pretty good idea of how it will go.
Tim received his undergraduate degree from the University of Dayton and continued his education as a Flyer as he obtained his law degree. That same year he was licensed to practice law in Illinois. Less than ten years into his legal career, he was voted by his peers as one of the top three attorneys in McLean County.
His methodical approach has earned Tim superb results and numerous honors over his years of litigating. Concentrating his practice in personal injury and malpractice, he has obtained record verdicts in two downstate counties. He's been selected by his peers as both an Illinois Super Lawyer, a distinction earned by only 5% of practicing attorneys nationwide, and an Illinois Leading Lawyer. He has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Trial Lawyers" by the National Trial Lawyers Association, "Author of the Year – Publications Department" by the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education and was also recognized by Martindale-Hubbell with a rating of AV, the highest rating available.
He has published dozens of articles and books regarding trial practice, is a past member of the Board of Directors of the Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education and served on the Board of Managers of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association from 1992 to 2014. He is a past President of the McLean County Bar Association and the Illinois Bar Foundation. He continues to be actively involved in the Illinois State Bar Association, American Trial Lawyers Association, and was appointed by the Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme to Chair the Court's Commission on Access to Justice.

Selena Gomez's Sexy Look At The 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Chanel Adams
Selena Gomez is showing off a new look at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The former Disney star is one of the performers at this year's very sexy runway show. So of course, she's going to rock a hot new look!
Selena Gomez arrived at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in killer style on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The "Good For You" singer wore her dark raven hair in sexy, long waves. She also complemented her angelic look with light-colored contacts, defined brows, and bronzed skin. The Daily Mail said her contacts were green, while the Hollywood Life said that she wore blue contacts. Along with her new eye color, she sported long, flirty lashes, complimentary of makeup artist Hung Vanngo. Gomez wasn't the only one who was sporting sexy beachy waves. The Victoria's Secret models and Angels were also wearing waves on the runway, courtesy of The Beachwear curling iron, according to a previous report via the Hollywood Life.

Selena didn't just show off her sexy look backstage. She took the time to hang out with her friend Victoria's Secret model Josephine Skriver. The model shared a photo of herself and Selena getting snuggly before the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Josephine captioned the cute photo, "I've missed this one. Couldn't be more excited to share the stage with her! @selenagomez #vspink #vsfashionshow."

The photo shows the two beauties cozying up to each other in their pink and white striped silk robes from the Victoria's Secret PINK line.
Gomez was then ready to rock the stage. The 23-year-old actress and singer performed her new song "Me & My Girls" from her Revival album as the models walked down the runway in sexy VS lingerie. For her performance, Gomez wore a black silk gown that had a dangerously high sit, a plunging neckline, and cut-outs at the hip. She paired her superhot look with a diamond choker, fingerless leather gloves, and black Saint Laurent embellished "Fetish" ankle boots. Gomez's boots were decorated with wraparound straps adorned with silver studs, spikes, and harness rings, according to Foot Wear News.
Meanwhile, the Victoria's Secret models were dressed up as firefighters and cowgirls for the PINK themed part of the show. Brian Atwood explained the reason behind the change in style for this year's show.
"I heard that they made wings just because of the shoes. I was chatting with [Victoria's Secret Creative Director] Sophia [Neophitou], and she said 'Do you realize we made wings based on the shoes? We copied the boot design on the wings.'"
Selena Gomez wore a similar black sexy dress upon her arrival. The "Come & Get It" singer arrived to the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City on Tuesday afternoon in a black silk dress with a low neckline. Selena paired her slip dress with a black oversized blazer and black-and-white stilettos. She wore her dark, tousled waves with a center part. Following up to the big show, Selena has been spending most of her morning rehearsing. She shared a behind-the-scenes clip of her performance on Snapchat, according to a report via the Daily Mail.
She told her fans, "Morning! VS time!" before giving her dedicated Selenators an air kiss.

On the Victoria's Secret red carpet (or pink carpet), Selena Gomez wore a black leather dress that showed some major cleavage and leg. The dress also had studding and embellishments that looked similar to the booties that Sel wore on stage during her performance.

Gomez left the event in style as well. She didn't let the rain damper her bright spirits. This time around, Gomez wore a white turtleneck sweater with tan leather pants. She paired her look with oversized eyeglasses and black stilettos.
Selena Gomez isn't the only one performing at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Ellie Goulding and The Weeknd will also be performing at the show, which will air on Dec. 8 on CBS. Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are walking the show for the first time alongside Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, and Lily Aldridge.

BlueBay Desserts - Vancouver, B.C.: Happy Holidays!
And, just like that, it's Christmas Eve.
Now, this is going to sound so lame but, I fell in l♥ve with this letter that's been floating around the interwebs recently.
Apparently, a little boy named, Ryan, had some questions about Santa and his parents decided to respond by writing him a little letter to explain things which you can read here and here.


This is domestic design with an agricultural twist, set on a dramatic site in County Antrim overlooking a lush farming landscape with distant views of Slemish mountain. Using the traditional vernacular barn form found there, the architect has maximised the potential of both typology and site with a carefully detailed contemporary design. In line with the barns' usual simple material use, the restrained palette of materials uses stone, timber, glass and zinc- all finely detailed at their interfaces.
Despite transformation of the internal space, the form and feel of the original barn is maintained. Living spaces and master bedroom on the first floor take advantage of light and views, with minor bedrooms below. At the corner of the living room the structure cantilevers out over the stone wall to create a stunning viewing point to the landscape, dramatically interconnecting inside and out.


Unlike the standard one-day excursion, our ecological educational tour will let you not only to see these unique places without any haste and in a small group, but also to learn more about the work of this unique protected area.
Not far from the Valley of Geysers there is one more unique and impressive place – Uzon caldera. It is a giant cavity with the dimensions 9×12 km, resulting from destruction of the ancient volcano, having an intensive hydrothermal activity on the bottom. There are a lot of boiling and raging craters, numerous mud cauldrons and small volcanoes, yellow fumaroles areas, steamy grounds where the steam and hot water come out from the earth. The peculiarity of this place is the crater-like holes 25-40 m deep and in diameter 25-150 m, in which hot lakes of odd colours are situated. In the eastern part of the caldera there is one of the biggest in Kamchatka crater formed after a volcanic explosion – in diameter 1, 65 km, filled with the picturesque Dalnee lake.

Hatchet For the Honeymoon
Originally written by Prof. Aglaophotis
Plot Outline: John Harrington is a man with a couple of chips on his shoulders: first of all, he's married to a nagging wife who, despite their unhappiness together, promises to never leave him till' death do they part (THAT'S always reassuring) and he seems to suffer from a paranoiac disorder. Every time he murders a young bride on her honeymoon, he remembers a forgotten memory in his life that never makes sense in his head, but the memory remains like a puzzle piece in his brain; it's in there and he has to remember every piece of the memory in order to find out what it means. Of course, working at a bridal gown tailor that he inherited from his mother's death and dealing with brides on a daily basis, it's an easy task for John to accomplish the bloody deeds. However, the police start coming on to him, his wife is growing into a bigger pain than she already is and John is developing a little crush on the new model that just arrived in the business. Will John be able to reveal the shrouded memory deeply veiled by his subconscious before he is caught? Or will he lose against the pressure and suffer the consequences of taking a few lives for lost memories?
I've always thought it rather hard for me to really enjoy a horror film that lacks a lot in violence and gore, yet here I am reviewing one of Mario Bava's thrilling horror classics and the first Bava film I have owned and seen on a positive note. Hatchet has a very unique atmosphere of intrigue through its cinematography, effects, acting, and psychological character analysis that can get a viewer involved regardless of its small focus on the violence involved. Between its expressionistic visuals and artistic style, Hatchet weaves its own feelings to the screen in a very involving way. Hatchet has its imperfections of course, boasting a somewhat small budget in various scenes, a very touching theme song that makes too much of a first appearance for us during a time of artistic yet chaotic opening credits, and maybe not enough killing scenes to get the full feeling of suspense, but all of which adds up to a wholly different and entertaining cinematic experience.
The cinematography was enriching and often times dazzling to the eyes as the viewer is presented with distorted mirror shots and kaleidoscopic effects starting with the opening credits sequence featuring stop motion blue powder moving over red and black photos of the main character to every time John has a flashback and so on. The acting was pretty well played for the majority of the cast as Stephen Forsyth brought a sweaty, haunted, sociopath to life and everyone else remained fairly believable from the cruelly annoying yet oh-so-lonely Mildred to the playful and comforting, yet naïve new model Helen. The dialogue also showed some intelligence as inspector Russell makes his first appearance and juxtaposes John's hot-house with the criminal mind. I will admit that there are some moments where Steven Forsyth's character seems incredulous, seeing how he obviously left finger prints at his establishing murder scene at the beginning of the movie and how he covers up a murder in the movie by making the police think that the victim's scream was on a horror movie that he was watching previously, but still, not every serial killer is caught out of clever wits but dumb luck and sometimes a character is more believable when he has his obvious faults as Forsyth's character proves here. The Music did seem to clash against one and the other as the visually chaotic opening credits was filled with peaceful, tranquil orchestration that, though peaceful, we get to hear it at least thrice in the film and it only fits in at one moment. Though the wiggy synthesized psychotic music fits in when John gets a knack for some cleaver wielding and the harmonic flute and harp music fit various moments of relaxation, the soundtrack also sports an electric guitar at various moments, inappropriate for the scenes or not, though later in the movie the use of the electric guitar works for one or two crazy moments that the protagonist goes through. I did happen to find the theme that John's mysterious ghost has to be a rather sad song that fit the purpose pretty well. As mentioned before, the movie presents very little in onscreen violence much less blood, yet the direction for each murder scene is set-up in a very artistic fashion that still makes the implemented murder vivid to the viewer. All of which fits a very perfect description of Bava's work with film as horror is expressed far from the common shower of blood and the shock of a violent butchering.
Although it seems embarrassing to admit that Hatchet for the Honeymoon was released with a PG rating, Hatchet remains as an intriguing and visually artistic film of suspense and mystery that has the potential to entice a viewer looking for classical suspense as the movie has done for me, even if initial mystery and light atmosphere may sound easy to piece together and pass up to some mystery solving viewers. I especially found the psychological theme of our main character returning to the womb rather interesting as expressed in the séance scene where Mildred is briefly possessed by John's mother. Hatchet still remains a great spiritual suspense film that I would recommend for anyone looking for a prenuptial chill up the spine.

I know I usually post YouTube comments about the Octet, however on this video there weren't so many witty comments, so I thought I'd do some research-y stuff instead. (The posts may not come more regularly, but they will be more researched and better-ly written. Hahaha). From the posts I did learn from kennyk314 that this song was arranged by Jerome (or, as he's known on YouTube, the dude with the dark fro-ish hair and the 'harmonica') from a cd. And that Jerome may have been a music major. Anyway, we all know from this and Nirvana Medley (which he also arranged) that the man has talent and had an AWESOME head of hair. Kudos to Jerome.
The guys' performance is awesome. I love the way the guys run on and off the stage. It's appropriately coltish for a college a cappella group. Jason's reeling in bit when they sang "fall for that old line" is great panto. The part where they pretend to hang themselves with their Oct-ties is particularly funny (though, I was worried about how realistic Jerome's 'hanging' was. Dude.) Rick and Parker dancing with each other was also so funny. Kudos to the guys and their performance.
This Medley is love. My personal story is that I dated a guy who was very much like the "How could you believe me" type. Here's the thing. The guy was a jerk, but he was soooo cute and could talk his way into and out of anything. I knew he was a jerk. I dated him and thought he had 'changed for me", which he didn't. He was a lying cheat. I was a fool. Point taken. I learned my lesson. And yet, I still love this song and the guys who sing it.
I believe I have mentioned before that I enjoy listening to the original versions of Octet arrangements in order to better appreciate what the guys can do, and since I couldn't find much in the way of YouTube quotes, I figured I would introduce Octet fans to the idea of comparison, especially for 'lesser known' songs...are the songs in Liar Medley lesser known? They are to me.
I thought I would be able to find the song that goes with the beginning. The "My mother used to say...." bit. I actually heard the song during an episode of Fibber McGee and Molly after I had heard the Octet version. I was sitting on my bed and knitting a shawl (Vanna's Choice Drop Stitch Shawl from Lion Brand. I used a worsted weight yarn and biggish 9? needles - it turned out fine in case you're wondering. And my gramma loves it!) when I heard the tune during a musical interlude between acts. It was the prelude to a sort of 'Beauty's Only Skin Deep' type monologue, a man towards his girlfriend/wife (memory not so good), basically saying the she used false advertising in the looks and personality department. This was waaay before I imagined the Octet blog, and Fibber McGee and Molly ran from the mid 30's to sometime in the 50's. I've heard every show, but unfortunately I am not able to locate that piece again. I'll try to go through the episodes and if/when I find it, I will post it to the site. It's quite funny.
So, the first song is called It's a Sin To Tell a Lie, by and it performed by both Fats Waller and the Ink Spots. Both take the songs into different directions. Fats Waller's version is very much jazzy/ragtime with some great piano 'riffs'. I'm not musical, so I am not sure that is totally correct. I do know that it charted at number 5 in 1935. Kudos to Fats Waller. You da man.
The Ink Spots version of "It's Sin To Tell A Lie" was recorded only a few years later in November 1941, and released in January 1942. I'm not sure how it did on the charts, probably not too well since I was unable to find it using internet search tools. If you listen it's a much different sound than the original recording but still quite effective, and the falsetto at the end just blows my mind. It does the Octet proud to be able to select from terrific music. Kudos Ink Spots.
Almost forgot...BoRhap is coming up on 2 Million views. I predict it will reach Two Mil by Friday. I'm often wrong, so I'll keep an eye out and keep you posted as well. Godspeed, Octet.

An Oasis of Military Support
July 20, 2016 | PRA Culture, PRA Work | Raquel Derrick | 0
When I was first approached to go to Guam as part of the work that the Service Members, Veterans, and their Families (SMVF) Technical Assistance (TA) Center is doing, I was delighted, excited, and admittedly clueless. So clueless, in fact, that I wasn't even completely aware of where Guam is located until I got a little help from my friend, Google. This is embarrassing for many reasons, but most all because Guam is a U.S. territory. That fact, I knew without having to Google. I also knew that it is an island and would have beautiful beaches. Beyond that, I knew nothing of a place that is a part of us.
In preparation for my trip, I watched the PBS documentary Island of Warriors. This documentary discusses the strong military culture that exists on the Island. Guamanians, or Chamorro as they call themselves, serve in the military at a rate six times that of residents in the Continental United States (CONUS). Guam has the largest per-capita population of SMVF of any of the U.S. states or territories. I had no idea!
I also learned some of the unique, though not entirely uncommon, challenges that the SMVF population on the Island face. Perhaps one of the largest challenges is the lack of a VA hospital, requiring veterans to travel to Hawaii for serious medical or behavioral health care. Decreased access to adequate care combined with no voting power within the federal government certainly creates some large barriers to addressing the needs of SMVF.
Despite these undeniable challenges, the island has one incredible quality that sets it apart from CONUS. That is a palpable comradery around military service and military culture. Everyone in Guam has either served in the military or closely knows someone that has served or is currently serving. This fosters such a strong respect for and focus on SMVF challenges. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that citizens on the mainland don't respect the military, but gone are the days where the majority of families are directly connected to the armed forces within CONUS.
My experience in Guam was that the people are extremely hospitable and kind to visitors. However, I think that when I explained that I'm driven to do the work that we do because I'm a combat Veteran's spouse, it resonated a little bit deeper. It was like a brief moment of solidarity hung in the air.
Quite frankly, as I learned of all the ways in which the community can support the others because of this shared military experience, I felt a little jealous. It definitely didn't sound like the experience I had when my husband was recently overseas. The idea of having schools actively support children of deployed service members and families and communities rallying behind those experiencing deployment or its lingering effects is incredible. Now again, I'm not saying that this doesn't happen in CONUS, but I don't believe it occurs to the same magnitude as it does in Guam. There are many within the United States who are committed to and invested in addressing the needs of SMVF. There is just something indescribable that occurs when the entire population can personally relate to an experience.
Guam has been extremely active in our military since WWII. In fact, another thing that I had never known until visiting the War in the Pacific National Historical Park is that over 2,500 American troops died fighting the Japanese in Guam during WWII. This rich military history and dedication to the U.S. military provides an incredible informal advantage to supporting the needs of SMVF on the Island. I'm honored to have witnessed this culture and feel that it is too incredible to leave behind on the Island. My hope is that in the future, we on the mainland will do more to recognize and honor the SMVF of Guam.

Q: Can I set the width of a div block depending on it's height? Is there any way that I can set the width of a div block depending on it's height?
As example, I have a block of which's height depends on the parent and I want to set its width depending on its height.

A: Here is a trick to do that, where you can add a image with 1:1 in the child

.parent {
    height: 250px;
}

.child {
    height: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    background:#333;
}

.child img {
    height: 100%;
    position: relative;
    opacity:0;
}

A: I would use width and height relative to window width. Like so:
Div{
  Width: 50vw;
  Height:
}

L'Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) est un organisme de recherche international situé sur le polygone scientifique de Grenoble. Créé en 1967 à la suite du traité d'amitié franco-allemand dit traité de l'Élysée, et nommé ainsi en l'honneur des physiciens Max von Laue (allemand) et Paul Langevin (français), il symbolise la réconciliation franco-allemande.

Cet institut spécialisé en sciences et technologies neutroniques exploite un réacteur à Haut Flux de neutrons pour la recherche. Son financement est assuré par treize pays. Il œuvre dans un vaste choix de domaines scientifiques comme la physique fondamentale, la physique des particules, la physique de la matière condensée, la biologie, etc. Institut de service, il accueille chaque année  en provenance de quarante pays, offrant les faisceaux de neutrons les plus intenses au monde ainsi qu'une quarantaine d'instruments scientifiques de haute technologie. Il ne sera égalé que par la future source European Spallation Source, entre 2025 et 2030.

Histoire
À la suite de la signature du traité de l'Élysée de 1963, une convention intergouvernementale de coopération scientifique entre la France et l'Allemagne est signée le  pour construire un réacteur nucléaire de recherche. Le site choisi symbolise la réconciliation franco-allemande puisque Grenoble est l'une des cinq communes françaises Compagnons de la Libération, encore marquée par ses actes de Résistance. De plus le nom de l'avenue des Martyrs dans laquelle doit s'installer l'édifice rappelle un charnier de  découverts en  sur le polygone d'artillerie après le départ des troupes allemandes.

Les travaux démarrent en 1968 et l'année suivante voit le début de la construction du réacteur. Mais le , le chantier est marqué par un tragique accident au cours duquel cinq ouvriers sont tués et deux autres gravement blessés dans l'effondrement partiel du toit. Le chantier s'achève au milieu de l'année 1971 et le réacteur rentre pour la première fois en divergence le . Sa puissance maximale de  thermiques est atteinte le  1971.

Le Français Louis Néel et l'Allemand Heinz Maier-Leibnitz ont eu une influence déterminante dans la conception et la réalisation de cet outil destiné à la recherche neutronique. Maier-Leibnitz prend la direction de l'institut en tandem avec le physicien français Bernard Jacrot jusqu'en 1972, première année d'utilisation du réacteur. Après de longues négociations, les deux pays fondateurs sont rejoints le  par le Royaume-Uni.

À la mise en service en 1971, le sculpteur Jean-Robert Ipousteguy achève devant l'institut une sculpture monumentale appelée "L'accomplissement de l'homme vers son unité".

En mars 1991, des fissures sont repérées sur un élément en aluminium au sein du bidon d'eau lourde (D2O) du réacteur ce qui impose sa mise à l'arrêt. La décision est alors prise d'un remplacement complet de ce bidon de 7,7 mètres de haut, l'ancien est découpé sous eau par les équipes du réacteur et un nouveau est fabriquée en Allemagne. Il arrive à Grenoble début 1994 où il est installé dans sa piscine d'eau légère (H2O) de 18 mètres de profondeur et la divergence du réacteur remis à neuf intervient le . C'est, à ce jour le seul réacteur au monde à avoir été démantelé et reconstruit en 4 ans, ceci ayant été rendu possible par sa conception très particulière et par la réalisation des opérations, fort complexes, par le personnel même de l'institut.

Parallèlement, l'institut devient un peu plus européen avec des partenariats scientifiques se mettant en place avec d'autres États : Espagne en 1987, Suisse en 1988, Autriche en 1990, Italie en 1997, République tchèque en 1999, Suède en 2005, Belgique et Pologne en 2006, Danemark et Slovaquie en 2009. La Hongrie adhère de 2005 à 2013, l'Inde de 2011 à 2014.

Depuis le début, l'ILL consacre beaucoup d'efforts au développement de dispositifs d'environnement des échantillons (basses températures, hautes températures, hautes pressions, champs magnétiques intenses, humidité contrôlée, etc.) qui sont indispensables à la réalisation d'expériences scientifiques de plus en sophistiquées. On y développe également des optiques neutroniques innovantes (monochromateurs polarisants en alliage de Heusler, super-miroirs polarisants, polariseurs à hélium-3, etc.) qui donnent accès à de nouveaux domaines de recherche, mais aussi des détecteurs de neutrons aux caractériques uniques (multidétecteurs à fils dits "banane", multidétecteurs à fils bimensionnels plats ou courbés, multidétecteurs microstrip, multidétecteurs "trench", grands multidétecteurs à tubes hélium-3 à localisation, etc.) qui augmentent considérablement l'efficacité des instruments de neutronique.

Le , une cérémonie se déroule au World Trade Center Grenoble devant les ambassadeurs des États membres et du secrétaire d'État à la recherche Thierry Mandon, afin de célébrer le  de la création de l'institut. L'occasion est donnée au président de la métropole, Christophe Ferrari, de préciser que l'ILL représente 600 publications scientifiques par an et qu'une part importante des  d'euros de son budget annuel est injectée dans l'économie locale.

En septembre 2021 la convention intergouvernementale qui régit l'ILL est prolongée jusqu'en 2033 par la France, Le Royaume-Uni et l'Allemagne.

Lieu d'implantation
L'institut est implanté sur le polygone scientifique de Grenoble. Lorsqu'au milieu des années 2000 naît l'idée de créer un campus d'innovation, sous l'impulsion de Jean Therme, directeur du CEA, l'ILL en est membre fondateur. GIANT () vise à rapprocher enseignement supérieur, recherche et innovation, et à faire de ce quartier le second campus grenoblois après celui du domaine universitaire de Grenoble installé à Saint-Martin-d'Hères. L'ILL est aussi membre de l'institut de recherche technologique Nanoelec ainsi que d'EIROforum, une collaboration entre huit des plus grandes infrastructures de recherche européennes.

Campus européen
L'ILL partage son site avec l' (ESRF), le laboratoire européen de biologie moléculaire (EMBL) et l'Institut de biologie structurale (IBS). Ces quatre organismes dont trois européens composent l' (EPN).

Le , avec l'inauguration à l'ESRF voisin du cryo-microscope le plus performant au monde en termes de résolution, l'ILL qui est partenaire du projet, dispose désormais d'un outil capable d'étudier des molécules encore difficilement observables jusqu'alors et qui pourrait permettre de trouver des solutions contre les épidémies humaines.

En 2018, le directeur de l'Institut Laue-Langevin annonce un nouveau partenariat entre son institut, son voisin l'ESRF et l'entreprise allemande OHB-System spécialisée dans le domaine spatial. Les capacités de ces centres de recherche en matière de caractérisation des matériaux permettront à ce secteur de pointe de faire de grands progrès techniques.

Formation
En lien avec le synchrotron voisin, une formation annuelle est dispensée par l'université Grenoble-Alpes et l'Institut polytechnique de Grenoble aux étudiants, post-doctorants et scientifiques internationaux dans le domaine des neutrons, du rayonnement synchrotron ainsi qu'en physique de la matière condensée. Portant le nom d'Hercules, acronyme anglais de , cette formation théorique et pratique d'une durée d'un mois existe depuis 1991 et reçoit 80 étudiants formés par  pour comprendre et utiliser ces instruments très sophistiqués.

Programmes de modernisation
L'institut lance en 2000 un programme de modernisation de ses équipements et détecteurs appelé Programme Millenium. Dans un premier temps entre 2001 et 2008, six nouveaux instruments scientifiques sont installés et huit autres sont modernisés. Dans un second temps entre 2008 et 2016, quatre nouveaux instruments sont installés et quatre autres modernisés. L'ensemble de ces deux phases représente un budget de 75 millions d'euros et a permis une augmentation moyenne de l'efficacité des instruments d'un facteur 25. En 2016, afin de maintenir le meilleur niveau de recherche mondial et d'offrir de nouvelles possibilités dans les domaines du magnétisme, de la science des matériaux, de la matière molle, de la biologie et de la physique des particules (spectroscopie gamma, neutrons ultra-froids, ...), l'institut lance un nouveau plan de modernisation dénommé Endurance. Il doit s'achever en 2023.

Réacteur à Haut Flux (RHF)

Il exploite un réacteur de recherche, le Réacteur à Haut Flux (RHF, INB 67) d'une puissance de , modéré à l'eau lourde, utilisé pour produire des faisceaux de neutrons. C'est la source de neutrons continue la plus intense du monde et c'est donc un instrument scientifique de tout premier ordre pour la communauté internationale.

Les neutrons permettent de sonder la matière avec un grand pouvoir de pénétration mais non destructif. Ils sont sensibles à la gravitation, au champ magnétique et interagissent directement avec le noyau des atomes et leur spin. Contrairement aux rayons X, ils sont particulièrement sensibles à des atomes légers comme l'hydrogène, or ce dernier joue un rôle essentiel dans les mécanismes biologiques, les pratiques, les batteries, etc.

Une quarantaine d'instruments scientifiques sont placés tout autour du cœur du réacteur, permettant des applications allant de la physique fondamentale à la biologie en passant par la cristallographie la chimie ou la science des matériaux.

L'Institut Laue-Langevin est un institut de service : son rôle premier est de fournir du temps de faisceau de neutrons aux scientifiques utilisateurs, de passage pour leurs expériences. Ceux-ci obtiennent ce temps de faisceau, la mise à disposition du matériel adéquat, et l'expertise des scientifiques et techniciens sur place, après acceptation de leur proposition d'expérience par un comité d'experts scientifiques. Une expérience sur deux environ étant retenue.

Plus de 90 % des expériences sont réalisées par des chercheurs venant d'un institut, centre de recherche ou université de l'un des pays finançant l'institut. La sélection des expériences est effectuées sur la base de la qualité des propositions par un comité international. La part de la France est d'environ un tiers.

Les scientifiques de l'ILL ont un triple rôle. Service aux utilisateurs, de la préparation de l'expérience au traitement de ses données, développement permanent des instruments et équipements scientifiques, recherche pour leur propre compte. Ils ont également une double compétence dans leur domaine d'expertise (magnétisme, physique des particules, biologie) et en neutronique.

Après l'accident nucléaire de Fukushima, l'ILL a décidé d'améliorer la sécurité de son site. Un nouveau poste de secours a été construit à l'épreuve des tremblements de terre les plus forts et de la vague que pourrait produire la rupture des barrages voisins. La protection de secours de l'alimentation électrique a été renforcée : l'entreprise AEG a été choisie en 2015 comme fournisseur des systèmes d'alimentation électrique conformes aux normes nucléaires. Après la fermeture du réacteur français Orphée à Saclay  2019, l'ILL est devenu la seule source de neutrons pour la recherche fondamentale située en France.

Conformément à la réglementation l'ILL publie chaque année un rapport TSN, "Transparence et Sécurité Nucléaire". Ce rapport inclut l'ensemble des incidents déclarés sur l'installation, classés de 0 à 7 sur l'échelle INES. Dernier incident de niveau 1 en date : le , un élément combustible usé est resté bloqué dans sa hotte de manutention lors de son transfert dans la piscine, occasionnant une déclaration d'incident nucléaire de niveau 1 sur l'échelle INES.

Résultats et applications des recherches
Les résultats de l'ILL sont largement diffusés dans les revues scientifiques internationales. Une sélection est disponible sur le site web de l'Institut. Certains résultats de recherche peuvent être disponibles sur la chaîne YouTube de l'ILL.

En matière de physique expérimentale, l'utilisation des neutrons permet des recherches dans de nombreux domaines. Dans ce qui suit on ne donne qu'un aperçu de quelques résultats relativement récents et/ ou relayés dans les médias.

Physique des particules
En physique des particules, le neutron peut servir soit de sonde, soit être lui-même le sujet d'étude.

Afin de découvrir des particules encore hypothétiques comme les axions, des expériences sont menées à l'Institut Laue-Langevin par spectroscopie de résonance gravitationnelle consistant à faire rebondir des neutrons ultra-froids le long d'un miroir pour observer leurs états quantiques d'énergie.

L'expérience STEREO (STErile REactor Oscillation) visait à découvrir l'existence d'une nouvelle particule élémentaire, un neutrino dit "neutrino stérile" prévu par la théorie pour expliquer le déficit de neutrinos constaté auprès des réacteurs nucléaires. Pour cela il a fallu observer l'oscillation des neutrinos à courte distance entre leurs 4 états. Le dispositif expérimental, fruit d'une collaboration internationale, a été conçu à l'IRFU de Saclay. L'expérience effectue sa première campagne de mesure en 2016-2017 puis se poursuit jusqu'en 2020. En 2022 une analyse complète des mesures ( détectés)  exclut presque complètement toute existence de ce  neutrino hypothétique.

Mais les résultats de STEREO ne s'arrêtent pas là. Une analyse fine des données a permis de placer des contraintes sur l'éventuelle capacité des neutrons à faire des passages temporaires par un univers parallèle que les théoriciens appellent "brane" et qu'ils ont imaginé pour expliquer notre incapacité à observer la matière noire. Enfin STEREO a aussi permis de montrer que les valeurs de certaines constantes nucléaires sont probablement partiellement erronées.

L'expérience STEREO fait appel aux résultats obtenus dans les années 1980 par Klaus Schreckenbach sur l'instrument BILL de l'ILL.

En 2016, l'institut a été le lieu d'une expérience visant à vérifier si des neutrons pouvaient passer de notre univers vers un univers parallèle, mais l'expérience n'a pas été concluante. Les résultats obtenus sont cependant archivés sur le site d'arXiv puis publiés dans les Physics Letters B. D'autres expériences similaires se sont renouvelées plus tard, ce fut notamment le cas en 2021.

L'ILL est aussi le lieu d'observations de désintégration (disparition) de neutrons à l'intérieur de bouteilles aux parois magnétiques afin de déterminer combien de temps peut vivre un neutron en dehors d'un atome. Mais contre toute attente, des différences significatives et inexpliquées de  entre deux types d'expériences mènent les chercheurs à faire un lien entre cette disparition et la matière noire. Cependant, en , le physicien  doute de ce lien entre disparition des neutrons et matière noire. L'expérience PERKEO  menée à l'ILL a montré que ce lien n'existe pas

Dans le cadre de la compréhension de la matière noire et de l'énergie noire, une étude menée en 2018 par l'université de Vienne utilise la source de neutrons ultra-froids « PF2 » de l'ILL afin de déterminer l'existence d'une hypothétique particule appelée symmétron. Mais l'expérience d'une précision extrême () et menée durant cent jours ne permet pas de mettre en évidence ces particules. Cependant, pour les physiciens, il est encore trop tôt pour exclure totalement leur existence et seules d'autres expériences pourront éventuellement le faire.

En 2021, la dualité onde-corpuscule également appelée "superposition quantique" a été mesurée sur l'instrument S18 de l'ILL. Les chercheurs de l'Université de Vienne et de l'ILL ont réussi à mesurer la position d'un seul neutron et ont constaté que la particule avait bien emprunté deux chemins différents au même moment.

Physique de la matière condensée

La plus grosse part des instruments de l'ILL lui sont consacrés et les recherches qui sont faites couvrent des domaines aussi variés que l'étude des gaz, des liquides (solutions, métaux fondus, surfusion, etc.), les matériaux amorphes, les poudres, les cristaux, les matériaux magnétiques et/ou supraconducteurs, les multiferroïques, les polymères, les colloïdes, les matériaux biologiques, la dynamique des réactions chimiques, etc., sans oublier l'étude de la résistance de dispositifs mécaniques ou l'étude d'objets ou matériaux anciens. Ce qui suit n'est qu'un aperçu incomplet.

Médecine
Le réacteur de l'institut permet la production de radioisotopes qui sont un excellent moyen utilisé en médecine nucléaire pour le traitement des cancers métstasés. C'est le cas du terbium, une terre rare qui produit des rayonnements alpha, bêta ou gamma, et même des électrons Auger. En partenariat avec d'autres institutions, l'ILL travaille sur la fabrication et les essais cliniques du terbium-161, un nouveau radio-isotope à utilisation clinique  promettant de tuer plus efficacement les cellules cancéreuses que d'autres radio-isotopes analogues actuellement en utilisation clinique.

La technique de diffraction de neutrons sur la matière a permis en 2014 d'étudier à l'ILL la structure de la myéline avec une très grande précision et de comprendre les pathologies des couches entourant les nerfs. En utilisant un isotope de l'eau (eau lourde DO), des chercheurs du Boston College ont pu déterminer la vitesse de déplacement de l'eau dans la gaine de myéline. Les résultats ont montré que les échanges d'eau dans le système nerveux périphérique étaient presque deux fois plus rapides que dans le système nerveux central.

En 2015, une publication dans la revue Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences informe qu'une collaboration internationale à laquelle ont participé des chercheurs de l'ILL a mis en évidence que le mouvement des molécules d'eau pourrait constituer un marqueur indirect de la présence de fibres amyloïdes tau. Ces fibres étant directement impliquées dans le développement de la maladie d'Alzheimer, leur détection pourrait ainsi permettre un diagnostic précoce de la maladie.

En 2018, l'enzyme PKG  (protéine kinase G ) associée au cancer de l'estomac et à l'ostéoporose, ainsi que son processus d'activation ont été observés en détail pour la première fois, grâce à la cristallographie neutronique utilisée à l'ILL. Les résultats de cette collaboration mondiale qui va faire évoluer la compréhension de ces mécanismes devraient aboutir à développer de nouveaux traitements contre ces deux maladies.

En , l'ESRF, l'IBS et l'EMBL voisins joignent leurs forces à l'ILL dans la lutte contre la maladie à coronavirus 2019. En , la revue Scientific Reports révèle que l'ILL, l'IBS, l'Institut Paul Scherrer et l' (ANSTO) ont découvert grâce à la réflectométrie neutronique comment la protéine Spike du covid-19 provoque l'arrachement des lipides des cellules pulmonaires humaines.

Biologie
(Cette section n'est qu'une ébauche non représentative.)

En 2013, des chercheurs britanniques et français ont utilisé les faisceaux de neutrons de l'institut afin de mettre au point une nouvelle méthode à fiabilité élevée pour visualiser les empreintes digitales laissées sur des surfaces métalliques.

En été 2016, à l'aide d'une technique d'imagerie par rayonnement à neutrons, une équipe de l'Institut de biologie structurale, de l'Institut Max-Planck de biologie cellulaire et de l'Institut Laue-Langevin démontre qu'une molécule appelée éctoïne est utilisée par la bactérie halomonas titanicae dans l'épave du Titanic afin de survivre à la pression osmotique que provoque le sel de l'eau de mer sur ses membranes. Cette bactérie qui ronge les restes du paquebot pourrait faire disparaître progressivement l'épave à l'horizon de 2030.

Matériaux
En , des chercheurs de l'institut Laue-Langevin associés à ceux de l'université de Göttingen publient leurs résultats dans la revue Nature concernant la découverte de la  de glace, la glace XVI.

En 2017, une équipe de chercheurs de l'université de Warwick associée à l'entreprise sidérurgique Tata Steel met en évidence grâce à l'instrument d'imagerie des déformations (SALSA) de l'ILL que les points de soudure de l'acier au bore présentent une dureté réduite du fait de la chaleur de la fusion, affectant directement la durée de vie du matériau. Les chercheurs s'engagent à trouver des méthodes de soudage alternatives pour l'industrie automobile comme le soudage par impulsions magnétiques.

L'ILL dévoile en 2017 dans la revue scientifique Nature sa collaboration avec des universités européennes sur la recherche d'aimants moléculaires qui pourraient être utilisés dans l'avenir pour l'informatique quantique.

Prix et distinctions
Norman Foster Ramsey a été co-lauréat du prix Nobel de physique en 1989 pour la méthode des champs oscillatoires séparés et ses applications (dans les horloges atomiques par exemple). Ses recherches axées sur la découverte du moment dipolaire électrique du neutron ont souvent été basées sur les nombreuses mesures qu'il a effectuées à l'ILL.

Le physicien britannique Duncan Haldane qui a travaillé à l'institut de 1977 à 1981 reçoit en 2016 le Prix Nobel de physique avec John M. Kosterlitz et David J. Thouless pour leurs travaux sur les transitions des phases topologiques dans la matière.

Philippe Nozières (1930-2022), principal animateur du groupe théorie de l'ILL, était Professeur au Collège de France, Académicien des Sciences, membre de la National Academy of Sciences aux États-Unis depuis 1991, et cumulait les distinctions de prestige : prix Wolf, Médaille d'or du CNRS ...

Effectifs
En 2010, l'institut employait 489 personnes dont , une vingtaine de doctorants, plus de ,  et  de l'exploitation et de la sûreté. Son personnel comptait environ 65 % de Français, 12 % d'Allemands et 12 % de Britanniques.

Au , ses effectifs sont de  dont 70 % de Français, 7 % d'Allemands et 5 % de Britanniques.

Chaque année, environ  chercheurs venus de quarante pays utilisent la source de neutrons de l'ILL, pour un total d'environ  par an.

Titel: 4/61 Walls-Positive-Negative and Path
Director Kurt Kren
4/61 Mauern-Positiv-Negativ und Weg
Kurt Kren
Born: 1929 in Austria // Died: 1998 in Austria
Kurt Kren was born in Vienna in 1929 to a German mother and an Austrian father of Jewish decent. In 1939 the ten-year-old was sent via "Kindertransport" (organized by the British Refugee Children Movement) to Rotterdam. In 1947 Kren returned to Vienna and was given a job at the National Bank by way of reparation. Shortly afterwards associated with members of the Art-Club, a circle of progressive artists. In 1955 Kren bought his first Regular 8 camera and became a member of an amateur filmmakers' club, Klub der Kinoamateure. Some of his first artistic experiments with film were made in collaboration with the poet Konrad Bayer. As of 1957 Kren created his first 16mm film and in 1960 made his first serial montage film of many to follow. It is due to these early serial works that Kren is considered one of the most influential pioneers of structural filmmaking. From 1964 through 1966 Kren made films based on "material actions" staged by Otto Muehl and Günter Brus performed exclusively for Kren and several photographers. In 1966 he participated in the Destruction in Art Symposium in London, during which the Viennese Actionists made their first international appearance. In 1968 Kren took his first trip to America to present his films in New York and St. Louis. In the same year, he was wrongly accused of filming the scandalous Action Art and Revolution staged at the University of Vienna, directly leading to the termination of his bank job. In 1971–1976 Kren lived in Cologne. 1972–1973 he produced a series of 5 boxes, each containing a super 8 print of one of his films, a copy of its handwritten score and several stills. In 1976 he moved to Munich, participated in Kassel's documenta 6 in 1977, and emigrated to the US in 1978. In 1979 Kren married Marnie Rogers and they lived for a few months in Europe on a DAAD scholarship. After returning to America they divorced in 1980 and Kren moved to California, without a steady address and sometimes living out of his car. In 1981 he worked with a group of housewreckers in New England, making money from the wood they salvaged. Kren subsequently moved to Austin and then relocated to Houston, Texas. From 1983 to 1989 Kren worked as a security guard at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. His films were presented in many different cities and prints sold to numerous international collections. In 1989 Kren returned to his homeland and was provided an apartment and a small pension by the Austrian government. In 1997 he worked as an actor and cinematographer for Christoph Schlingensiefs' Die 120 Tage von Bottrop. Co-founder of the Vienna Institute of Direct Art (1966) and of the Austria Filmmakers Cooperative (1968). Member of the Vienna Secession, the London Filmmakers' Coop (1967), the New York Film-Makers' Cooperative (1968), P.A.P. Munich (1969) and of the Assembly of Authors in Graz. His work is distributed by sixpackfilm (Vienna), Light Cone (Paris), LUX London, Canyon Cinema (San Francisco) and New York Film-Makers' Cooperative. Kurt Kren died in 1998.

If you're the outdoors type, then you'll love the rugged beauty of Alaska. With no income or sales tax and some of the highest wages for HVAC techs in the country, The Last Frontier can also be a great place to start your career.
Here's an overview of the job outlook, pay and working conditions for HVAC techs in Alaska to give you a better idea of what a career in the country's northernmost state could hold for you.
Making sure a heating system works properly can be a matter of life or death in Alaska. In the interior, such as the second largest city Fairbanks, temperatures can drop to -80°F in the winter and climb as high as 100°F in the summer. Conditions in the most populated city of Anchorage are a bit milder, with a high of 65°F in July and a low of 23°F in January.
Energy consumption reflects how much Alaskans rely on their HVAC equipment: the state's per capita usage is the third highest in the country.
Heating systems are essential in Alaska, but you could work on air conditioning units, too. Since people spend so much time indoors during the winter and burning wood and other fuels for heat is common, indoor air quality can be an issue for many Alaskans. This makes ventilation systems especially vital in the state.
Equipment usage can vary by region. For example, oil fired boilers and wood stoves are popular in Fairbanks. In fact, more than 100,000 cords of wood are burned for space heating every year.
Full of natural wonders, Alaska has many sources of renewable energy that can be tapped to heat and cool homes. Geothermal energy can be harvested from the state's abundance of volcanic fields.
As of 2016, Alaska was one of the eight states producing geothermal electricity. Its rivers offer some of the highest potential for hydroelectric power in the country.
Surrounded by coastline, Alaska gets plenty of wind, providing yet another source of energy. Solar is also surprisingly common, with solar thermal technologies used to heat water and buildings.
Working as an HVAC technician in Alaska could have you installing, maintaining and repairing both traditional and advanced types of equipment.
As the second highest paying state after the District of Columbia, Alaska can be a lucrative place to ply the HVAC trade. While the national average hourly wage for HVAC techs is $23.81, it's $30.79 in Alaska. Earnings can vary throughout the state.
Alaska has the forth-smallest population in the country. Its population density is the lowest in the nation.
Fewer people means fewer jobs. The rate of job growth in Alaska is projected to be 4 percent through 2024, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Across the country, jobs for HVAC techs are predicted to increase at a rate of 15 percent through 2026.
A sense of adventure can come in handy when working in Alaska. Temperatures can drop as low as -80° F, and some areas are dark all day during the winter—the busiest season for HVAC techs.
If, like the rest of the population, you don't mind roughing it a bit, the perks of great pay and endless wilderness could be well worth starting a career here.
Are you sold on working as an HVAC technician in Alaska? Then HVAC training can help set you apart from other applicants in a relatively tight labor market.
The BLS reports that most employers prefer to hire workers with formal HVAC training, and the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development cites a postsecondary certificate as a typical educational requirement for entry-level work in the state.

Is this the future of the retail industry in Akron?
A local developer's new journey into the retail industry may be the solution to creating a thriving space for small businesses.

If you're from Akron, the image of the retail industry may be connected with the empty and abandoned Rolling Acres Mall or the loss of two major anchors of Chapel Hill Mall.
READ MORE I Walk through Rolling Acres Mall one final time
The images have shaken the retail industry. But local developer Joel Testa may have the answer to growing retail space in a city that has witnessed first-hand how the retail climate has changed.
"This is our take, essentially, on the urban mall," Testa said.
The idea of Northside Marketplace was crafted by Testa, president of Testa Companies, and his wife Cassie. With support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Downtown Akron Partnership, the concept of the 10,000-square-foot small business incubator was created to give local startups a chance to thrive in the evolving retail industry.
About 40 entrepreneurs are under one roof inside a space connected to Testa's Northside Lofts, each with varying opportunities to capture the attention of new customers.
"We set it up in the retail mall mentality of big-box anchors, in our case we have three established businesses that are the draw into the marketplace," said Testa. "Inside the marketplace is a lot of small startup companies, mostly people working out of their homes, looking for their first step into brick-and-mortars."
So that means entrepreneurs can rent space – or even shelves – inside the building. A small setup on a shelf could be as low $35 a month for rent.
"We've often had this false choice of or vibrant downtown, it's both," said Kyle Kutuchief, Akron program director for the Knight Foundation. "Cleveland is proving it's both and Columbus is proving its both, so like [Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan] says, 'Why not Akron?'"
The grand opening for the Northside Marketplace is set for Nov. 17.

You are responsible for the safety of your employees. According to established case law, your duty of care as employer encompasses safeguarding your employees, especially when travelling on business and therefore outside your sphere of influence, against loss of life and limb and against financial loss. For this, you need targeted business solutions, which guarantee all-round safety. With this in mind, our business travel insurance solution 'Business Class' offers a modern, up-to-date carefree package for protecting against the risks of business travel.
The premium of the Business Class travel insurance will be calculated based on risk. The costs depend on the level of insurance cover, number of days travelled, number of persons travelling and on the destinations (Germany, EU or worldwide).


XML is a major building stone for this research project and therefore deserves a chapter of it's own.
The first section sums up the advantages of the Internet for communication. A deficit of the current Internet is the lack of information about what is communicated. In the second section, XML (eXtendible Markup Language) is introduced as a means to communicate something and at the same time including information about what is communicated. This means that computers will be able to "talk" to each other meaningfully. The third section describes how to create a vocabulary enabling communication. Appendix A contains a much more detailed explanation of XML and related technologies, skipped in this chapter to keep it compact.
Dirt cheap. Simple modem dialup service for small companies. The big ones (should) already have a decent connection for current Internet usages.
Usability. Many people are familiar with surfing the Internet. If much of the building and construction information can be made available through Internet pages, the information will be usable by virtually everybody.
Platform and implementation independence. When care is taken to adhere to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards, the client's computer, operating system and browser won't make a difference. Be it a small browser on PalmOS or Mozilla on one of the company's Sun workstations.
There is, however, one problem: the way the Internetpages currently are made. The only information now contained within the pages is the actual text and images and information on how to display it. This means that a human can read a page and is able to determine that the third paragraph is about a certain type of bricks that can be bought. But no computer will be able to determine which words distinguish product names, which addresses, etc. Currently, it is all about presentation of information for reading by the human eye.
What is needed is electronic communication along the lines of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange, the section called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in Chapter 2), exchanging information (almost) without human intervention, automating away the parts where human attention is not needed.


A DETECTIVE on the frontline fighting Britain's knife crime crisis yesterday told of the "night from hell" when his force ran out of officers. A taxi driver robbed at gunpoint was among the unattended victims after seven stabbings, the murder of a 16-year-old boy, four rapes and a prison riot in a single day.
The Daily Express has highlighted how Bedfordshire's Chief Constable Jon Boutcher admitted that they "literally ran out of officers".
Clashed Detective Sergeant Tom Hamms, who was in charge that night, revealed that they were so overstretched senior officers considered drafting in reinforcements from neighbouring Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
Three gangs armed with knives and bats clashed outside a takeaway in Luton just hours before a 16-year-old was murdered by a group of men in Bedford.
Officers were also investigating four rapes and had been called to a prison riot at HMP Bedford on September 16.
DS Hamms said: "I have never known anything like that night. It was the night from hell. We ran out of police officers.At one point every single police officer in Bedfordshire was at a hospital.
"The disorder where seven lads were stabbed and one of them was airlifted to a London hospital, that was followed up by the 16-year-old in Bedford who was stabbed.
One of those charged with the offence walked into hospital with a stab wound. A guy walked into hospital having been shot in the back.
A taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint, he had a gun put to his head. We had a child with non-accidental injuries taken into a hospital.
There was a serious accident that left the driver with life-threatening injuries."
"There was very little we could do. I think we managed to find someone to go to the hospital for the gunshot victim.
The taxi driver that was robbed, we couldn't respond to that. You just have to look at what you can attend and what you can't attend and work out who is safe and who is still in need of assistance."
Frustrating DS Hamms said he desperately looked for officers to release from crime scenes as 999 calls continued to flood in.
He added: "It is massively frustrating but there was nothing I could do.
For the call handlers, they can hear people screaming down the phone and they have got no police officers to send, that must be hell for them."
Officer numbers in Bedfordshire plummeted from 1,244 in 2009 to 1,148 in September last year. Meanwhile, knife crime in Britain soared by 52 per cent between 2013 and 2018.
DS Hamms, in Bedfordshire's Serious and Complex Crime unit, warned that the number of gang fights is growing, with many now wreaking havoc in broad daylight.
Shocking footage, to be broadcast on 24 Hours In Police Custody on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm, will show teenagers fighting with machetes in a Bedfordshire shopping centre in the middle of the day.
He said: "We need more police officers. To say it is not about numbers but how you deploy them is utter ********. If you have only got two people, they can't be in five places at the same time.
"You might be able to measure knife crime by how many people you find with a knife. But the lack of resources means you can't measure how many people are getting away with carrying a knife."

Currency of data separates leaders from laggards
By: Cliff Saran | April 30, 2018
Read the article at Computer Weekly
With customer data growing in ever-evolving volumes, we look at how companies are using data analytics to stay in control
A survey of more than 500 C-level executives conducted by McKinsey in March 2017 reported that an increasing number of companies are using data and analytics to generate growth, but data monetisation, as a means of such growth, is still in its early days.
The McKinsey global survey of data and analytics 2017 reported that nearly half of all respondents said data and analytics significantly or fundamentally changed business practices in their sales and marketing functions, and more than one-third said the same about research and development (R&D).
According to McKinsey, executives in high-performing companies were more likely than others to already be monetising data and to report that they are doing so in more ways, including adding new services to existing offerings, developing entirely new business models, and partnering with other companies in related industries to create pools of shared data.
"The high performers' focus on data monetisation may stem from a better ability, and a greater need, to adapt to change. Compared with their peers, high-performing respondents report that data and analytics activities are prompting more significant changes in their core business functions," wrote Josh Gottlieb, a specialist in McKinsey's Atlanta office, and Khaled Rifai, a McKinsey partner, in the Fueling growth through data monetization report, which was based on the survey.
"Data is the new currency for organisations," says Cynthia Stoddard, Adobe CIO, who is responsible for IT and cloud operations. The software company has faced several challenges relating to data management, including the inability to make decisions quickly and difficulties in accessing data. "We needed a data-driven model to move from a reactive organisation to a proactive business," she says.
For Stoddard, the main barrier the company faced was to ensure there was commonality in its data. "Different parts of the organisation had come up with different data definitions," she says. This led to inconsistencies, preventing Adobe from being able to use its data to achieve actionable insights.
To tackle her data governance issues, Stoddard says Adobe decided to concentrate on understanding personas, looking across the customer journey at how different people in Adobe interact with the customer. "The customer is not static, so we looked at the customer journey," she says. "There will be different touchpoints in the organisation, which means the view of the customer changes over time."
The company has developed a Hadoop cluster and analytics to provide the flexibility to adapt as the customer progresses. "We can look at the metrics relevant to our users," says Stoddard.
Adobe began its data analytics journey in 2017, developing a customer framework using a Hadoop base to consolidate multiple databases into a single technology stack. The initial build took six months. "We keep building different metrics on top of this," she says.
Adobe adopted an agile approach to delivering new functionality every month. It established a data governance group, which steers the development of the project to make sure it remains in line with business needs, and provides a feedback loop, through impact assessment, to ensure the analytics remains useful to the business. "We look at the impact across different business domains and adjust what we do if the business impact is not high enough," says Stoddard.

Organisations have an ever-increasing amount of data at their disposal. In this 13-page buyer's guide, Computer Weekly looks at what the future holds for data management, how the Met Office is opening up large .
Data analytics technology won't deliver business value by itself – it needs to be deployed, and its users organised to deliver value.
To date, Stoddard says, Adobe has been able to reduce the time needed to produce new metrics for users from weeks to seconds.
As Computer Weekly has previously reported, utility company Centrica set its sights on developing and delivering technology-based products to residential and business customers. It created a subsidiary, Io-Tahoe, to develop tools to solve the data management challenge of linking multiple diverse legacy systems to provide analytics on its 14 million customer accounts. Last year, it launched a £100m innovation fund and made its first investment in the shape of data discovery firm Rokitt Astra. Io-Tahoe is now commercialising its tool.
Explaining the company's challenge, Io-Tahoe CEO Oksana Sokolovsky says: "Most businesses are data-driven. Data can help drive revenue. It is an asset, and companies are looking to monetise this."
Financial services, banking and telecommunications, among others, need a lot of data. Sokolovsky, who previously headed up transformation services in the global technology and operations group at Deutsche Bank, believes businesses have a challenge in keeping control of their data to understand what really is happening across the business. She says organic and inorganic growth generates more data. "Large enterprises acquire a lot of different databases and are now building data lakes. There are copies of copies of data."
This is a fundamental technology challenge, says Sokolovsky. "For instance, there are different versions of the same customer," he says. "Even within the same bank, you will have different divisions of each, which will have customer information in multiple databases."
Data can be incomplete or wrong. In one organisation, there may be a lot of redundant data, or the database may merge three columns into one, or the field is completely blank, she adds.
The taxonomy in these databases may differ, so one division may identify its customer via customer ID field, while another uses the account number. "It is a challenge to determine that both are talking about the same customer," she says. And the data itself may be interpreted differently. "Washington may be a street, a city, a state or a person's name," she says. "Businesses need to determine where they store the data in order to understand fundamental business relationships." And this is exactly what Io-Tahoe's tools aim to do, by giving businesses a way to look at how data moves through the enterprise. Io-Tahoe uses machine-learning algorithms to go through each data element in a dataset and determine the specific relationship.
The goal for many organisations is to have one version of data that they can trust, such as a single customer record that remains consistent across every touchpoint in the business.
Businesses often struggle to maintain data. As Io-Tahoe's Sokolovsky points out, different parts of the business can often use different terminology for the same customer record, provide incomplete data or even introduce errors.
To tackle this, Adobe established a data governance group to ensure that applications adhere to the company's data standard, that the correct information is captured and that the data is maintained consistently. People also need to adhere to the data standards when filling in forms, yet people on the front line may not see the value in spending a lot of time entering information correctly. The challenge for data management is to convince the organisation that everyone in the business can benefit from consistent, clean data.
Case Study: How Admiral made its Teradata data warehouse more agile
Admiral Group began using Teradata a few years ago because it was finding it difficult to update its old mainframe system to add new insurance products.
Explaining the company's data warehouse plans, James Gardiner, data warehouse technical lead at Admiral, says: "We wanted to use the US GuideWire software to spin up new products. But all data was coming from the mainframe accessed via SAS or Excel.
However, Gardiner admits that the Teradata project was slow and painful. "The project was run tactically to ensure the new system went in on time," he says. "We ran a waterfall methodology and hand-coded Teradata. We had a complicated extract, translate and load (ETL) process to move data from our source systems into Teradata and the documentation was out of date."
Following the implementation, the company wanted to try to reimplement the data warehouse project. "We found the traditional method of implementation was not aligned to the business," says Gardiner.
Because Admiral's database team were not Teradata experts, Admiral needed Teradata consultants to write custom lines of code by hand for each business request. The company wanted a more agile approach to updating its Teradata data warehouse to enable it to turn around business requirements quickly, says Gardiner.
Admiral began looking at how it could automate the code generation for the Teradata data warehouse, he adds. "We did a proof of concept with WhereScape, which allowed us to become agile, so we could change our methodology."
By using WhereScape, according to Gardiner, the data warehouse team can now work with the business on rapidly prototyping new ideas, which can then be further developed into products. "We can speed up development by six to eight times and be more flexible with the business," he says.
"Essentially, we can load data a lot quicker. Admiral will try a lot of different products and spin up trials quickly to see if they bring in new customers."
To support this, Gardiner says WhereScape allows Admiral to build warehouse components very quickly. Previously, this would have taken months.
The team supporting Teradata is also a lot smaller. "The new WhereScape project has 20 people on the team," he says. "The previous tactical project had 60 to 80 people."
Given that Admiral's data team is mainly trained in SQL Server, Gardiner says: "We can take someone in SQL Server and get this building on Teradata, without lots of hand-holding."


The Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders have some amazing sponsors to be thankful for, including Life Time Fitness.
On top of memberships that allow us to keep our fitness levels high for game day, Life Time has given our team the opportunity to start each practice with a specialized workout created by a few of their Personal Trainers.
Ryan Svenby, from Life Time Lakeville, has been working with our team for an impressive 10 seasons. Ryan is passionate about performance enhancement and corrective exercise. Dave Galler, also from Life Time Lakeville, started working with the former MVC Training Program and has now been with the MVC for five seasons. Dave starts with making sure everyone has proper movements for a solid foundation and then builds a progressive program to ensure the team is in peak condition for game day. Kevin Klein, from Life Time Eagan, also trained the MVC Training Program team for two years and this year is training the MVC for the first time. These three are simultaneously putting 42 girls through workouts, keeping technique on point and discussing recovery and specific training techniques to anyone that needs a little extra help or advice every Tuesday and Thursday.
Our trainers test our fitness and endurance four times a year during what we refer to as "Power Team." These practice nights include testing our 5K run time, pull ups, push-ups, sit ups, plank, 40-yard dash, "killers," broad jump distance and flexibility in all three splits. We finish the night off with completing a football field's length of walking lunges as fast as we can.
Our trainers and coaches push us for important reasons. Game day is a high intensity interval workout that lasts around five hours when totaling up our morning on-field practice, pregame and end zone performances and dancing on the sidelines. We greatly appreciate the time and effort that our trainers and coaches put into helping us stay fit!
This year we have also been given the wonderful opportunity to utilize a nutritional coach, Katie Christianson.

We had a chat with German pioneer Arno Kammermeier, one half of the iconic techno duo BOOKA SHADE ahead of the Australian leg of their MOVEMENTS 10 tour. This year marks 10 years since the release of their iconic album MOVEMENTS, which has been re-worked by some of the biggest names in dance music, including NILS FRAHM, SCUBA and DEETRON.
BOOKA SHADE have always been ahead of the curve with their production, among the first major dance acts to weave live elements into their sets. One of the major turning points for the duo was during their '05 set in Barcelona at SONAR festival, when they debuted a fully live set. "Our long time friend M.A.N.D.Y has always been a massive supporter of our sound, and they helped prompt us to incorporate the live elements in our shows," Arno said about exploring their first foray into live electronica.
There's something deeply spiritual about the first time you experience live dance music. When BOOKA SHADE burst on the scene with their unique, melancholic, yet lifting style of dance music, the game was changed for electronic performers. Experimentation and exploration, the duo helped carve a whole new fortuitous landscape. Dance music has always been heavily based around elements of rhythm and percussion, so the duo felt this could be transplanted through live performance. "We came about during a time when dance music hadn't really been performed live before, so it was really special for us to interact with our fans and see them react to the music," Arno said about developing their live sets.
Booka Shade were also perceived in a variety of ways. The duo were also among the first to incorporate an accompanying visual element. "From our very first show in 2004, we always included visuals. When we had our first show in a club in Berlin called The Watergate, we bought our own cinema screen, and we showed visuals on that. Looking back it was quite naïve the way we started with it, but we were very passionate about including a visual element from the beginning," Arno said. Whilst they may not have imagined that this would become a core element of dance culture, it was clear to them that visuals could work with the sound and help tell a story.
Technology has always impelled Booka Shade. The duo began working with acoustic elements, but it was their passion for new technology that provoked experimentation with live electronica. "In the very beginning, I got into it with acoustic drums, but I was interested in the drum machines that came out in the 80s," Arno said. Booka Shade's style of production, and complex layering is unmistakable. Percussion is the foundation of each Booka track, as Arno explained, "We started to use the drum machine as the basis, and layer the synth sounds on top of it because we didn't have any money to spend on proper antique stuff." A lesson to emerging producers with passion, and a few dollars, that once you have the core elements, you have the foundation for dance magic.
Booka Shade have accrued a massive following since their breakthrough in 2004. They're especially looking forward to playing Down Under. "We love it in Australia. People are friendly, the weather's great and there's always a really positive vibe." Exploring and playing to fans is a real thrill for touring artists, but it's the headline shows that the duo really get to know their audiences in an intimate setting, as Arno explained, "Headline club shows are really extraordinary, when everyone is there to just to see you, it gets very interesting." We can't wait.
Movements 10 is shaping up to be Booka Shade's most captivating performance to date.
