Psychological studies and research have long been concentrated within the developed countries which are also the most industrialized. This trend is now changing and it is all because of the subfield of cross-cultural psychology. Following is an overview of this area of study.
Cross-cultural psychology has examined the effects of daily life exposure to the perception levels of an individual. For instance, one study in this subfield examined the effects of shapes that a child grows seeing and his level of perception. In this study, shapes as well as angles had varying effects on people. For instance, the perception of people in urban areas where buildings mostly have perpendicular edges had optical illusions that were very different from those of people living in rural settings. This is because rural villages barely have such buildings. Another area of study in the subfield of cross-cultural psychology is the evaluation of psychological disorders. In this evaluation, studies have taken an interest in finding out the true normal sexuality among human beings. The results were that different cultures had different definitions for normal sexuality, and sometimes depended on the stage of a person's life. For instance, even though homosexuality is considered an immoral behaviour mostly common in America, some other cultures have also encouraged their youth to practice it before getting married. Cross-cultural psychology as a field of study has also helped in better understanding psychology related theories. One of these theories is Oedipus complex as stated by Sigmund Freud. In this theory, boys are usually hostile to their fathers and friendly to their mothers while the case is reversed with girls. A study within cross-cultural psychology found out that in Trobriand Islands, boys were very hostile to their maternal uncles. These uncles instilled discipline on the boys and therefore acted as their fathers.
Cross-cultural psychology is different from other subfields of psychology. This branch deals with the impact of culture on people and their actions. It is also considered as a research methodology within the field of psychology. As a result of these differences, two categories of people can actually pursue this field of study. Students who have an interest in learning more about the effects of a child growing in different cultures on his growth or one who is interested in personality psychology, then this subfield would be perfect for him or her.

Q: How to execute query with UNION in hibernate I'm performing a SQL query through hibernate, which looks like:
@Query("(select category from Category category where category.isDelete=false and category.status='A' AND " +
        "category.id in (select cat.id from Category cat where cat.isDelete=false and cat.status='A' and cat.parentCategory IS NOT NULL))" +
        "UNION" +
        "(select category from Category category where category.isDelete=false and category.status='A' and category.parentCategory IS NOT NULL)")

But it showing me error
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: node to traverse cannot be null!

A: your query is fine at sql level, but in case of Hibernate you will face this exception
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: node to traverse cannot be null!

so convert this query
@Query("(select category from Category category where category.isDelete=false and category.status='A' AND " +
    "category.id in (select cat.id from Category cat where cat.isDelete=false and cat.status='A' and cat.parentCategory IS NOT NULL))" +
    "UNION" +
    "(select category from Category category where category.isDelete=false and category.status='A' and category.parentCategory IS NOT NULL)")

into two queries
@Query("select category from Category category where category.isDelete=false and category.status='A' AND " +
    "category.id in (select cat.id from Category cat where cat.isDelete=false and cat.status='A' and cat.parentCategory IS NOT NULL)")

@Query("select category from Category category where category.isDelete=false and category.status='A' and category.parentCategory IS NOT NULL")

and call them by different methods.

A: How do you select category is their any field like that and you have mentioned you category table as category fix it then try either other approach is alright *you can check it also by giving asterisk as * and your rest of the query is correct*

12 Principles guiding innovation districts
Series: Innovation Districts
Julie Wagner, Scott Andes, Steve Davies, Nathan Storring, and Jennifer S. Vey September 8, 2017
Ignited by emerging economic trends and demographic preferences, many cities across the United States, Europe, and other global regions are witnessing a new geography of innovation: innovation districts. Brookings documented their emergence in the 2014 research brief, the Rise of Innovation Districts. This work defined innovation districts as geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start-ups, business incubators, and accelerators. Districts are also physically compact, transit-accessible, and offer mixed-use housing, office, and retail.

Since then the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Initiative on Innovation and Placemaking has conducted research to advance this emerging practice. In the paper How Firms Learn, we analyzed how firms and other institutions are altering their processes for innovating. In the paper Innovation Spaces: The New Design of Work, we observed how many innovation spaces are now being designed to reflect the increasingly collaborative and cross-sector nature of innovation. We also conducted deep engagements in burgeoning innovation districts, such as in Oklahoma City and Philadelphia, where, in concert with local actors, we developed strategies for accelerating their innovation ecosystems. Lastly, working with the US Conference of Mayors, we developed a handbook to support city leaders in their desire to facilitate this emerging geography of innovation.
Drawing on this and other work globally, we have developed these 12 principles to guide how innovation districts are to grow and evolve—a process that requires cities to take an integrated approach:
1. The clustering of innovative sectors and research strengths is the backbone of innovation districts. The concentration of innovative sectors and research strengths is what drives innovation districts from the start. Rather than government attempting to pick industry winners or developers focusing on a real estate play, districts thrive by concentrating and leveraging their city or regional economic strengths. For example, Oklahoma City's strengths include health care and energy, while in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, it is precision machinery. Bottom line: Cities need to grow their own firms and, when possible, recruit from elsewhere.
2. For innovation districts, convergence—the melding of disparate sectors and disciplines—is king. Many economic developers think about the world in terms of industry verticals (e.g., agriculture, aerospace, health care). But innovation platforms—IT, new materials, robotics—are technology enablers that serve many industries. As hubs of research and next-generation technologies, innovation districts are more aptly defined by these horizontal platforms than by sectorial silos. As such, district stakeholders need to build their capacity to connect seemingly dissimilar industries through collaborative research, conversation, and cross-cutting technologies.
A growing number of innovations—like the autonomous vehicle—were conceived through the convergence of disparate disciplines and sectors. Illustration credit: Brookings.
3. Districts are supercharged by a diversity of institutions, companies, and start-ups. The strength of innovation districts comes, in part, from this eclectic mix. Districts that are largely comprised of large institutions often lack the accelerated innovative growth that small, nimble firms provide. And districts characterized by a density of start-ups have fewer opportunities for well-funded partnerships and alliances. The "magic in the mix" comes from aligning incentives between these and other public, private, academic, and civic institutions.

4. Connectivity and proximity are the underpinnings of strong district ecosystems. A well-connected district is paramount to its success—transit, bike paths, sidewalks, car-sharing, and high-speed fiber. Identify gaps and invest wisely. At the same time, districts should measure their success by steps not miles. The experience of proximity—or a physical concentration of firms, workers, and activities—is what differentiates a "buzzing" district from a boring one.
5. Innovation districts need a range of strategies—large and small moves, long-term and immediate. Innovation district development requires a mix of large investments (e.g., in transit, high-speed fiber, venture and other capital funds) and smaller strategies (e.g., reactivating a neglected park and programming spaces). These approaches are complimentary: Large-scale investments set the foundation upon which other activities can be layered, while short-term, community-led processes can inform bigger and lengthier undertakings and create crucial momentum.
6. Programming is paramount. Programming—a range of activities to grow skills, strengthen firms, and build networks—is the connective tissue of a district. A major misstep is to undervalue programming within and across the district, both indoors and out.
7. Social interactions between workers—essential to collaboration, learning, and inspiration—occur in concentrated "hot spots." A handful of social hot spots in a district will likely punch far above their weight in terms of building community. They may be organic, like Silicon Valley's legendary Walker's Wagon Wheel, or designed, like Venture Café near the MIT campus. Districts should identify, analyze, protect, and support such exceptional places.
Some districts are testing innovations in public spaces, such as using light posts to analyze weather or traffic conditions. llustration credit: Brookings.
8. Make innovation visible and public. Daylighting innovation in public and private spaces helps inspire curiosity in aspiring innovators, start conversations between neighbors, and convey the story of an innovation district to potential recruits or investors. It also transforms public spaces into "living labs" to test prototypes. To help further, activities like hackathons (a sprint-like event encouraging collaboration generally on software/hardware development), symposiums, and health clinics, which typically occur indoors, might accomplish more in the public realm. And finally, greater transparency at the ground level of buildings allows pedestrians to connect with the innovation activities inside.
9. Embed the values of diversity and inclusion in all visions, goals, and strategies. Innovation districts not only promote new technologies, they grow a range of new firms and new jobs with living wages. At a time of rising social inequality, innovation districts must become an avenue to economic opportunity for city residents—particularly for those in nearby neighborhoods that struggle with poverty and disinvestment. But growth alone is not enough. Only through intentional training, hiring, business development, and placemaking efforts can districts cultivate new local talent, encourage more diverse ownership structures, and help address poverty and disinvestment in surrounding communities.
10. Get ahead of affordability issues. Successful districts can, over time, drive up market pressures, impacting the ability of start-ups, maturing firms, and neighboring residents to remain in these areas. Smart districts respond early, getting ahead of the curve through a range of policy moves and strategic projects that preserve affordability and the diversity it engenders.

11. Innovative finance is fundamental to catalyzing growth. Most innovation districts require new finance streams to advance innovative and inclusive growth without straining existing and limited resources. As districts will likely receive less funding from states and the federal government to support their efforts, creative financing tools—including ways to leverage city-owned and district assets—should be explored with an eye toward sustaining financing over time.
12. Long-term success demands a collaborative approach to governance. An innovation district's work ethic and culture is "collaborate to compete." A bottom-up horizontal governance model—involving business, academic and civic institutions, government, workers, and residents—can best orchestrate what must be done collectively: Identifying assets; design, finance and strategic initiatives; public space management; and evaluating progress.

Music Therapy Linked to Improvements in Adults with Dementia
Advanced Internal Medicine /
Dementia is a health problem that slowly alters the way a person learns, acts, and remembers. It starts with mild memory problems and leads to a greater loss of memory and function. Most people with it also have depression, agitation, and anxiety. Some lifestyle changes have been shown to help ease symptoms. Certain medicines can also slow this health problem and ease some symptoms.
Researchers wanted to assess the effects of music-based therapeutic interventions for people with dementia. The study, published in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, found that music therapy likely lowers depressive symptoms and helps behavioral problems. It may also help emotional well-being and quality of life and ease anxiety.
The meta-analysisincluded 22 randomized controlled trials comparing music therapy to reading, cognitive stimulation, cooking, games, and TV in 1,097 adults with dementia in institutional settings. Participants in the music therapy groups received five or more sessions of music therapy in either an individual or group setting. Most music therapy sessions were either active therapy in the form of singing or playing instruments or receptive music therapy, such as listening to music.
At the end of the intervention, the review did not find any changes in agitation, aggression, or cognition. However, the review did find that music therapy was linked to:
Better well-being and quality of life
Fewer symptoms of depression
Less anxiety
Fewer problem behaviors
Better social behavior
Four or more weeks after the intervention ended, there were no major differences between the intervention and the control groups. Music therapy may only help in the short term.
A meta-analysis combines many studies to create a larger pool of participants. The larger the pool the more sound the results are. However, the review is only as sound as the studies that are in it. The 21 music therapy studies used differing interventions and controls, making it harder to pool and compare data. Also, though there were some benefits they may not be significant enough to make meaningful differences.
Music therapy is easy and safe to do. It may be a helpful part of a dementia care program. If you have a loved one with dementia and want to learn about alternative methods to manage the condition, talk to a doctor and care team.

SCOPe: Structural Classification of Proteins — extended. Release 2.03 (updated 2016-04-15, stable release October 2013)


Consumers want to hear what women have to say. Often, they would rather buy from women and take advice from them. They come off as more trustworthy and more likely to conduct honest business affairs. Further, they have a lot of valuable wisdom and insight. This is demonstrated perhaps no better than in Lori Senecal. Lori Senecal is one of the world leaders in business expansion and advertising, currently holding the prominent position of Global CEO of CP+B. Her success and expertise has earned her a popular blog and even an interview with the Huffington Post. On her blog, she often relays wisdom about her area of expertise to her audience, such as in her article about branding.
In her article, Lori Senecal makes the astute observation that celebrities often use the same branding tactics as corporations. Therefore, she argues, a company can identity the actions of celebrities and use those same principles to enhance their brand. Since Lori Senecal is an expert in this industry, she has helped to identify a few of those principles in celebrities on NYTimes.
Celebrities have really raised expectations for physical appearance because they often look perfect. But they do not wake up in the morning like that. Senecal points out that they have great stylists that help to craft their image. In the same way, corporations need to use great stylists to craft their product and professionalism on prnewswire.com. She used the example of Heineken beer products, which are styled to perfect. Similarly, corporations will need to develop their website so that they can exhibit professionalism. The principle of a great stylist can take awhile to master (as is the case for Brittney Spears, argues Senecal) but it is worth the effort.
During her interview with the Huffington Post, she was asked what her greatest challenge was. She said that when she first entered a company, it was during a time of inflation. It took a lot of effort to inspire clients and expand the business on adweek.com.
She thinks that while celebrities such as Brittney Spears may seem clueless, that may well be nothing more than an act. She is branding herself and corporations borrow her methods. I do hope that the best essay writing service can have as much as they need from them all.

37 compelling reasons why Australia needs a National Physical Activity Action Plan
Fitness / Recreation / Wellness /
An unprecedented overview of physical activity and public health across the globe has reinforced the need for a comprehensive policy response in Australia, according to the Heart Foundation.
The Global Observatory for Physical Activity (GoPA) unveiled the latest Physical Activity Country Cards, including for Australia, at an announcement in London last week.
The Observatory is a council of the International Society of Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH).
Adjunct Professor, Trevor Shilton, of the National Heart Foundation and Chairman of the Global Advocacy for Physical Activity, said of the 131 participating countries, 37 have specific national plans for the promotion of physical activity and another 65 include physical activity as part of plans for the prevention of non-communicable diseases.
Professor Shilton explained "this does not include Australia as yet, however, the opportunity still exists for the Federal Government to develop and implement a comprehensive, funded National Physical Activity Action Plan.
"The need for action is all too clear, with only 43% of Australian adults active enough for good health, ranking us 94th out of the 131 participating countries.
"That's why the Heart Foundation along with partner organisations have been advocating strongly for a nationally coordinated policy response.
"The early signs are encouraging, with the major political parties now acknowledging that physical inactivity is a major risk factor for chronic disease – Australia's leading health challenge."
Professor Shilton said the release of the Physical Activity Country Cards represented an historic opportunity for policy-makers to implement a popular and cost-effective reform of benefit to all Australians.
He added "if 37 other countries, including notable examples like the United States and the United Kingdom, see fit to implement a national physical activity plan, then there's no good reason for us not to follow suit.
"We already have the foundations in place with the recent release of the 'Move More, Sit Less' Canberra Communique.
"The communique outlines nine priority action areas and a comprehensive set of approaches and policy initiatives designed to encourage Australians to start moving again.
"What's needed now is a commitment from all parties to develop and fund a National Physical Activity Action Plan. Proceeding without a funded plan is no longer an option."
Countries/autonomous territories with National Physical Activity Plans include: Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, England, Fiji, Finland, Germany, Greenland, Hong Kong, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia FYR, Mexico, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and Wales.

Once again (as set forth in a previous blog: your behavior is not determined by what you want but rather by how you choose to be)—so it is with knowledge. Knowledge does not determine behavior! If knowledge determined your behavior you would have already changed and I would be out of a job! My approach to hypnosis changes your self-perceptions and consequently your behavior changes. It is just while in a state of hypnosis your self-perceptions are more easily changed.
You already know what to do to be healthy and trim; you already know that smoking is not good for you; you already know that being stress out and anxious does not make anything better; you already know that it is irrational to have a fear of heights, insects, closed in places, driving on the freeway or of public speaking; you already know that being angry, critical and being physically or mentally abusive does not enhance relationships…. Your knowledge does not determine how you feel, what you do or what you say. Your behavior is determined by having been conditioned to respond to different stimuli or how you perceive yourself responding to other people, circumstances or events—not by what you know.
Hypnotherapy can remove your negative responses to other people and events; to get rid of the emotional reactions to what other people do, or how they act and to get your behavior consistent with your knowledge.

#HIFF38 Spotlight: Films from auteurs and new talents comprise SPOTLIGHT ON CHINA
SPOTLIGHT ON CHINA is our annual New Chinese cinema section, presenting a varied array of films from the Middle Kingdom. As China becomes the eventual number 1 film market in the world, it is more relevant than ever to showcase arthouse and indie films that are being pushed out by big budget fare. With this year's spotlight, the Festival is honored to present the Hawaii premieres of ASH IS PUREST WHITE, the latest from Jia Zhangke, and LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, the second feature from festival darling Bi Gan. Both films had their premieres at Cannes. Other films include Zhang Yimou's return to martial arts historical epics SHADOW, which opens HIFF38 and THE UNITY OF HEROES, a return to old school wuxia character Wong Fei Hung.
Finally, the Festival is also presenting new Hong Kong films and hosting famed Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-Wai as this year's Filmmaker in Focus.
Chinese auteur Jia Zhangke's most serious foray into the gangster genre since A TOUCH OF SIN, is a winding tale of love, disillusionment and survival. Spanning twenty years in the life of Qiao, a young gangster's moll to Bin, who in a means to protect him from a rival gang's attack, shoots a gun in the air. She is soon sent to prison. Five years later, Qiao is released and goes looking for him only to realize the world has radically changed and left her behind.
Luo Hongwu returns to Kaili, the hometown from which he fled several years ago. He begins the search for the woman he loved (Tang Wei), and whom he has never been able to forget. Continuing his languorous noir motif, Bi Gan's second feature is the epitome of "slow cinema" that culminates in an incredible one shot take in 3-D. The young auteur stretches the parameters of narrative structure to create a feature length mood piece with a first person VR-like experience.
THE UNITY OF HEROES
Late Qing Dynasty. The East India Company produces a narcotic even more dangerous than opium by conducting human testing. These secret tests come to light when one of the test subjects, Vile Face, crashes into Po Chi Lam, Wong Fei Hung's medicine clinic. Wong decides to take in Vile Face, causing the the Company to use whatever means necessary to try to get rid of him. In the face of foreign and domestic enemies, can Wong stop the spread of this dangerous narcotic in time?
Yuan Yuan is a successful fashion designer in China. Having reached middle age, she has made her mark in the fashion world, but has never met that special someone and settled down. One day at the launch of her new fashion line, a mysterious young Japanese girl appears. While their communication is poor, the two seem to strike an instant bond. Could this girl be her connection to a mysterious past life, lost love, and a sake brewery in Hokkaido?
WRATH OF SILENCE
After his son disappears, a mute drifter returns to his desolate hometown in search of answers, but becomes embroiled in a conspiracy of violence and corruption at the heart of the region's coal industry. Stylishly-blending film noir with the spaghetti western, emerging director Yukun Xin crafts a kinetic action thriller set amongst the arid landscapes of Northern China. Essential viewing for genre fans.

Q: I like the idea of a day time rehearsal. What is this all about?
A: Now that I am retired from middle school band work, I have daytime to do rehearsals or beginner lessons or seminars for those who don't like to go out at night or who work at night. Beginners I teach at my studio in Sudbury. The Monday session has morphed into a class where we do some kind of lesson for the first half hour (rhythm reading, musicianship, music history, band oddities...), then we rehearse the music that we are playing in the full band on Wednesday nights.
A: Monday afternoon rehearsals are at the Wayland Town Building, (email me for where to come as it sometimes changes). Contact me for more info.
Band rehearsal will begin at 3:30 and run through to 5:00. Participants may arrive anytime after 3:00.
A: How will this work? Will we be a different band?
Q: The afternoon band and the evening band are really all one group, split into two rehearsal times. You may come to either time (or both), although please let Diane know if you are coming to the afternoon times. We generally start with a lesson on rhythm or something else that has to do with the music we are working on at the Wednesday night rehearsals, then we move into rehearsing the music.
A: So we play the same music, whether attending afternoon or evening rehearsals?
Q: Wait, there are a lot of Monday holidays and the town offices are closed. What then?
A: Sometimes we lose the week, but other times we move out to my studio in Sudbury (but that is very limited in size!). Check our calendar (link is at the top of the page).
Q: You said something about seminars?
A: Oh, things like, practice skills, rhythm reading, Who was PDQ Bach?, or whatever hits us as interesting. We will also be doing movie nights periodically (that will be evening).
Q: What's this about name tags?
A: We always wear name tags - many of us are not very good at remembering names and it is more pleasant to be able to take a quick look a the name tag to check. Also, be sure to sign in when you arrive at our space. Email Diane if you lose yours and she will get you a new one.
A: Call me or email me (Diane)!

NHS to receive access to £588m funding to cover adult social care
From September 1, the NHS will be able to access a £588m fund to help cover adult social care provisions or the immediate costs of care in a patient's home for those requiring additional follow-on care after being discharged from hospital – including older people and those with disabilities.
The health service will be able to access the funds in order to provide up to six weeks of additional support to ensure people receive ongoing help with their recovery and rehabilitation after they leave hospital.
This could include support in their home or access to services such as physiotherapy, domiciliary care, community nursing services or care home costs.
From September, NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) assessments are also set to restart, ensuring those with complex health needs can continue to access the care they need for free.
Most patients will continue to be discharged back to their homes. However, in a small proportion of cases, it is anticipated patients may need and benefit from short or long-term residential, nursing home or hospice care.
It will remain the case that nobody should be knowingly discharged from hospital directly to a care home without the involvement of the relevant local authority, and all patients are required to be tested prior to discharge to a care home – with no care home expected to admit an existing or new resident who has tested positive for coronavirus if the home would be unable to cope with the impact of their illness.
Health and Social Care Secretary, Matt Hancock, said: "We know for the majority of people the road to recovery can be quicker when they receive care and support in the comfort of their own home.
"This funding will help ensure people can be safely discharged from hospital knowing they will get the vital follow-on care they need to recover fully from treatment.
"We're also making sure those with complex health needs continue to receive the best support possible in the community."
The new funding comes as part of a wider £3bn package being provided to protect and prepare health and social care settings in the event of a second peak of coronavirus cases. It follows £1.3bn of funding made available via the NHS to support the discharge process in March.

Being compassionate to the environment while doing efforts to create a more eco-friendly environment is something that people have learned to adopt, and it is certainly a promising act. The logic is- if we really care for the planet earth and wanting it to be healthier, then each of us is expected to properly care for it, and that includes evaluation of oneself by taking a look on the way of life and finding ways on how to alter them to become more eco-friendly. A key sample on how you can create a big change from a small change is your home.
Learn to limit water usage.Immediately restore any leaking faucets to conserve water – more info. You may find it such a small thing to do, but you will be stunned on how much water you can potentially save by doing this simple task.
Furthermore, it is necessary to be familiar with the amount of water that you are regularly using. You can do simple practices- when brushing or shaving, you must turn on the faucets just when you are actually needing it.
Mounting a distinct meter which will offer you a better knowledge on the amount of energy you are exhausting in your heating is an approach that you can use on top of your energy usage and exercises ways to lessen it.
It is possible that you will see there is an energy consumption, however, you cannot identify the problem or where the consumption is coming from. Hence, it will be best if you can hire a contractor immediately for you to save energy.
Purchasing recycled goods will be a remarkable step to becoming more eco-friendly.
If you are uncertain with the options provided to you, you can consult an expert to discuss on sustainability and talk to them on what are able to do.


At Grundon, our pioneering approach to environmentally friendly disposal options led us to building the UK's first hazardous waste incineration facility in 1990.
We have kept this innovative attitude as technology and legislation have progressed, and today our modern and updated facility forms a key part of our integrated waste management structure.
What are the benefits of using the High Temperature Hazardous Waste Incinerator?
Our high temperature incinerator is a safe, controlled and environmentally friendly route for your clinical waste. The facility, which processes 1.25 of waste per hour, has its own environmental pollution control equipment and is capable of operating independently of the main Energy from Waste (EfW) plant with which it shares a stack.
This method also minimises your environmental impact, as it diverts waste from landfill and heat produced via the incineration process is used to power a steam turbine which generates electricity. The facility is also fitted with the latest technology gas scrubbing system to ensure that emissions meet the most stringent standards set by the EC.
How does the High Temperature Hazardous Waste Incinerator work?
After your waste arrives at our site the process starts when it is tipped into the primary combustion chamber. This chamber reaches temperatures of 1000°C, and the heat produced is used to drive steam turbines which generate electricity which is fed to the National Grid.
Our High Temperature Clinical Waste Incinerator offers a sustainable outlet for your clinical waste and is another excellent example of how Grundon can reduce the financial and environmental impacts of your waste, whilst ensuring that you remain fully compliant with all relevant legislation and regulations.
Speak to a member of our team about how Grundon can provide you with hazardous waste collection and disposal as part of our total waste management service.


I had all my permits etc signed in front of the notary and everything was fine and the notaries stamp applied. Now they say that it was not legal, Surely if all seemed ok in 2002 in the notaries office why not now. I thought that was the whole idea of using a notary. To ensure everything was done within the law. If as they say, the mayor was acting outside of his jurisdiction, then why didn't the notary pick this up and challenge it. Unless of course they were all in it together. But surely not.

Q: Passing data when dismissing Viewcontroller I want to pass data to the root view controller, which is ViewController after the previous one is dismissed, I chose to use delegation to solve this problem in this way:
Scheme:
ViewController -> SearchViewController
SearchViewController produces data and dismisses
class ViewController: UIViewController, IsAbleToReceiveData {
@IBAction func addButton_touchUpInside(_ sender: UIButton) {
        performSegue(withIdentifier: "gotoSearchViewController", sender: nil)
    }

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    if segue.identifier == "gotoSearchViewController" {
        let vc2 = SearchViewController()
        vc2.delegate = self
    }
}

func passData(city: cityObject) {
        print(city.cityName)

    }
}

The protocol is declared:
protocol IsAbleToReceiveData: class {
   func passData(city : cityObject)
}

In the SearchViewController I have:
weak var delegate: IsAbleToReceiveData?

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    let citySelected: cities?
    citySelected = self.citiesQueried[indexPath.row]
    RequestAPI.convertData(city: citySelected!) { (city) in

        self.delegate?.passData(city: city)
    }
    dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

When I try to print the data in the function in ViewController nothing is printed even though in SearchViewController convertData method is returning a cityObject.
How can I pass the data to ViewController after dismissing?

A: Replace
 let vc2 = SearchViewController()
 vc2.delegate = self

with
 if let vc2 = segue.destination as? SearchViewController {
    vc2.delegate = self
 }

A: Try
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
   if let searchVC = segue.destination as? SearchViewController {
      searchVC.delegate = self
}

The pair began their journey happily enough but Mohammed, an Upton Park resident who is used to travelling from the station, said staffing levels can be unpredicatable.
Mohammad is a keen campaigner with Transport for All, a disability action group who organised the trip.
He said: "There were a lot more people working during the Olympics and Paralympics this summer but they reduced the number of staff at the stations afterwards and I have noticed the difference.
"Over the last two years, there have been some improvements made but there's still some way to go."
The pair subsequently met up with Angus Davie, who uses a wheelchair, to get the number 25 bus to Manor Park.
But audio system on the bus - usually notifying visually impaired people what street or bus stop they have reached - had broken.
Mohammad said such conditions could have flared up his epilepsy which is often triggered by stress.
He said: "If I was on my own I would have been agitated, asking people to tell me where I am. It all depends on the individual to be honest.
"Some people will go out of their way to help you out but other people won't respond at all so you have to be prepared for whatever happens."
At the end of his journey, Mr Biggs said: "There's a lot of good provision for people with accessibility problems but the chain is only as strong as the weakest links and the smallest thing makes the biggest difference such as step free access.""

Why did it feel like the right time to release Charlie Is My Darling?
Without doubt, it is the end of a certain part of the Sixties as we knew it. We managed to put it off for so long, it was still amazing that this dream we dared to pursue still had legs and remained the foundation behind most new music. Age and the Internet were two hits to the body. We do not have a recorded music business in any way similar to that we grew up with; all of our stuff and what followed is on top of the mountain and the newcomers are struggling to get up the hill. So it's an ideal time for the movie, a representation of what life was like for both the musician and the music fan at the end of the first part of the Sixties. A few years ago, it might not have been as interesting – the end of certain parts of the game were a long way off.
In your book 2Stoned, director Peter Whitehead says that while you had the idea for the film, you gave him complete freedom. What was your vision for the film originally? Why did you commission it?
Vision was not part the game, getting from moment to moment was. Everybody had done a movie – even Gerry & the Pacemakers. I succumbed to that pressure, which was a mistake because it involved following, not leading. Perhaps it was because I was infatuated by film. I just wanted to get the Stones in the mood for dealing with the film business and deciding what we would or would not do. I figured if they'd been filmed for a few days they'd be up for the crap that was to come. It was also a great opportunity to see which of the Stones the camera fancied, and it turned out to be Charlie Watts, hence the title of the movie.
Much has been written about why Charlie Is My Darling was shelved. From your perspective, though, why wasn't it released?
We were busy. We had to find a follow-up to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and that was "Get Off of My Cloud," then we had to have a follow-up to that. The world was very different then. You did not have all these systems that needed product. I think the BBC might have paid 500 quid for it, but they really were not interested. The Stones in the U.K. were still the unwashed and unwanted, in spite of the hits, and in the U.S. you did Ed Sullivan and Dean Martin. Anyway, I didn't want it out. I think Peter took the film to the Berlin Film Festival and some noted film geezer said that out of all the entries, Charlie is My Darling would be the only one that would hold up in 50 years time. Quite an astute dude. I think Peter was suggested to us by Sean Kenny, the set designer. Sean had seen his Allen Ginsberg film. Peter was perfect.
What was your idea for a later feature film on the Stones [after Charlie Is My Darling]? In your mind, why didn't that work out?
Once we could not get A Clockwork Orange, I lost interest. I paid lip service to the idea of Only Lovers Left Alive; great title, average tale. Anyway, the Stones were not really that interested. They knew what fit and what didn't. We didn't have to discuss it. Our world was changing at a tremendous rate. Vietnam, civil and racial unrest, Kent State, the second half of the 69's, drugs as a way of life. Charlie Is My Darling looked like "the Bowery boys go to Belfast" compared to what was going on.
Would you say there's a theme to the film?
The camera is rolling – do something.
What do you think about the newly-cut version of the film? How does it compare to the original?
It's a good time to see all of the footage, it would not have been then. I would not have wanted anyone to see Mick and Keith composing after a show in a hotel room. Now, well, Mick's late night rendition of "Tell Me " is something I wish he'd done in the White House. It's a great document to a time that would be done with by the end of '65; '66 was a completely different animal.
Interesting that you would never have wanted Mick and Keith composing in a hotel room in a film. Why?
Composing in a hotel room onscreen was not part of the process of the time. Only the result was required. Today, of course, is different and the process requires you put as much as you can on the table.
What memories does watching the film bring back?
Well, I saw the tailor who cut Keith and my tweed jackets quite recently. He was still on Berwick Street in Soho. I don't do memories, I do dreams.
During the brief 1965 tour, what was it like to be at the center of the Stones as "Satisfaction" was hitting the charts?
Hectic. I'm not being flippant – dreams had come true. The Stones were less "made it in America" as "made by America." America was wonderful to us. I mean, we recorded on Sunset and Ivar, at RCA, and at Chess Studios on South Michigan in Chicago. Nice going for three years.

Having navigated through a double dip recession the founders of award winning softplay centre Eddie Catz celebrate 10 years of trading and over 1.5 million children through their doors and announce plans for expansion including more playcentres and a nursery.
Today Eddie Catz has 3 centres, two in SW London and one in Berkshire with a projected turnover of £1.8 million in 2015. The company's revenue has grown steadily year on year, with the biggest jumps in 2008 when a second London venue was opened in Wimbledon and again 2010 when a third centre was founded in Newbury.
The company has ambitious plans. Not only is it in negotiations to acquire a fourth venue in SW London but it is also completing a feasibility study to redevelop its South Wimbledon branch to open a 60 place nursery adding another half a million pounds of turnover to the business. The company will also be licensing an HR software that it has designed and developed over the last 3 years to manage all human resource information including staff hours and payroll which will be attractive to other industry operators as well as gyms.
10 years ago, London parents Maria and Darren Johnson opened their first indoor play centre in Putney in southwest London, in the heart of what is fondly called 'Nappy Valley' by its residents. It was the first of its kind, an upmarket facility that was more than just a play space.
"We wanted a space that was more than just a play centre, a place where children could have an enriching experience by playing and learning in a safe and clean environment, whilst a parent could have some respite in the form of a grown-up space to chill out, read the newspaper, surf the net, have a meal or join a class with their child. We couldn't find anything, so we decided to create one ourselves", explains Maria, who manages the company's Finance and Marketing.
The company has been consistently ahead of the curve. Eddie Catz was the first to launch a full weekday curriculum of pre-school classes in partnership with some of the country's leading class providers. It was also one of the first playcentres to branch out into Lasertag and Make a Bear Parties and also to have themed holiday workshops. In 2014 Eddie Catz also opened a photographic studio with professional portrait photographers Memory Gate Photographic.
"Probably our biggest WOW factor is Eddie, our feline mascot," says Darren Johnson who manages the operational side of the business. "He has his own fan base and he comes out twice a day in all venues and for every birthday party, and that's about 25,000 parties since we've opened" he says.


I have been working on getting the studio up and running at the house. So far we have lots of lightstands and a bunch of mods, 9 foot white seamless and a ton of home depot accessories. No lights yet though, still on backorder. Forever perhaps.
For those of you photogs out there, here's a really great tutorial that I have found instrumental. Zack Arias is da man. So many good bits on his site. Definitely worth a read and add to the google reader.
1/250th of a second at f8, ISO 200, 135 mm. Shot with the same foursquare light kit and softbox from before. It's above and to the left. I think there was a reflector about 3 feet away on the right also for a bit of fill.
Zack's seamless tutorial is one of my very favorite reads. Amazing stuff!
How close do you have the foursquare kit to the subject here? The quality of light seems like it's a much bigger source haha.
The foursquare kit with softbox is about 2-3 feet away. It's probably 3 feet by 3 feet or so, so that close it looks pretty large. I like the directional nature and falloff better than an umbrella, and if you get in real close it still looks really good.


Those in need of hats, gloves scarves and maybe even a coat for the cold weather don't have to look far in Hays.
Tuesday night and Wednesday, members of Hays Christian Church distributed packets of the warm wear around town for anyone to pick up and use. Collecting and packing the items is a project of the church's women's group, Phoebians.
The women's group placed the packages around town in locations such as downtown planters and outside the library, VA clinic and Early Childhood Connections, Phoebians President Billie Crawshaw said.
This is the second year the group has done the project, Crawshaw said. She saw the idea online, and when she became president last year, brought the idea to the group.
"We were looking for service projects and different things we could do in the community. That was one that I thought would be easy to do. It was new and different, and I hadn't seen it done in Hays before," she said.
The group put together 85 bags to place around town — 20 more than last year's effort.
This year, the group also added coats to the project, wrapping them around the trees outside the church at 22nd and Marshall, with notes inviting those in need to take one.
Men's, women's and children's sizes are offered. Members of the women's group donated the items. Many were new purchases, but Crawshaw said she also purchased some from thrift stores. A few members even crocheted or knitted items for the project.
Crawshaw said Wednesday she was "kind of stalking" some of the packages she placed downtown, and noticed some had been taken.
"It's neat to go and see I put it there and someone took it," she said.
The women's group does monthly community service projects seven months of the year. Other projects include packing purses with toiletries, snacks and other items and a drive for personal hygiene items for women in the Options Domestic and Sexual Violence Services shelter, and donating smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to the Hays Fire Department for the Get Alarmed Kansas program, which the HFD will install for qualifying households.


MATERIALS: J. & P. Coats or Clark's O.N.T. Best Six Cord Mercerized Crochet, Size 30 … Steel Crochet Hook No. 10.
Make a centerpiece exactly as for No. 7768-B. Then continue to make individual doilies, joining to previous rnd of doilies as second rnd was joined to center doily, until tablecloth is size desired—see chart for joinings.

Nothing recorded on film is outside the purview of The Front Row. Thanks to my colleague John Donohue for sending along word from Lester Perkins, at Jazz Promo Services, that today, August 27th, would have been the great tenor saxophonist Lester Young's one-hundredth birthday, and thanks to Perkins, too, for including with his message a link to a video playlist of immortal Young performances.
The first, a 1950 performance of "Pennies from Heaven," is also a superb piece of film, for the luminous closeup of the artist at work and for the keenly perceptive view of his feet. Young, whose tone was the most tender of anyone's, famously liked his clothing soft and loose, and the cameraman on the date noticed Young's rubber-soled canvas shoes patting the floor to the beat.


Can we talk granola today? WHY don't we make it ourselves? It's ridiculously easy and totally adaptable. (and if you're looking for a last minute/budget friendly gift for the people in your life, this granola will make you a rock star. Can you say Pinterest-Mason jar win? Huzzah!). I forget how much I actually enjoy making it…until this weekend.
I like my granola to be interesting, and by "interesting," I mean that it should have as much stuff as I can find to throw into it. Texture is huge.
This granola has a wonderful rummy undertone…because I can't leave well enough alone and made it boozey.
The recipe below makes a pretty big batch if you want to share it, and if not granola will last for quite some time in an airtight container. Breakfast on the run or purse snacks, anyone?
1/3 cup ground flax seed meal.
Dried cranberries-to your taste- I threw in a few handfuls.
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 325.
Combine all dry ingredients except cranberries in a large bowl. Note: Don't have a big enough mixing bowl? A giant soup pot works really well!
Heat maple syrup, olive oil and dark rum in a sauce pan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a low boil for about two minutes, stirring occasionally. Then turn off heat. Let cool slightly and stir in vanilla.
Add your maple mixture to dry ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
Pour granola onto 3 lined baking sheets and bake in pre-heated oven for about 50 minutes or until granola is golden brown, taking out once to toss (so your oats don't burn).
Allow granola to cool completely, then mix in dried cranberries and store in an airtight container.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending a good friend's bridal shower.
The best part? I got to get crafty and make the favors.
Now, if you know me, you know that I am not the most DIY talented person…but this favor was something that ANYONE can do.
I did a quick Google search and found these little beauties.
Again, so easy, even I was able to do it…with some help from my amazing friends Vanessa and Tina. Thanks, Ladies!
Here's what I came up with to go along with the seed packets.
These were actually pretty fun to make and did not break the bank. A great idea for upcycling.
The best part? We get to use all of the leftover cardboard cylinders for starting seeds. Win!
After you have all of your pieces, just tie them together with a pretty ribbon.
You probably wait until the last minute (or a week after) to buy your loved ones a birthday card.
But I didn't do that this year. Ben and I were all over Mother's Day…part of her gift anyway.
Anyway, here are some suggestions, if you ARE anything like me.
One of my favorite things to do with my mother is to sit down and have a meal with her, even if it's something simple, like this pasta dish. That quality time is a gift in and of itself and I do the dishes!
I also love bringing her baked goods, like these whiskey cookies.
This year, because Ben and I are both working on Mothers' Day, we got her some amazing Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar from The Saratoga Olive Oil Company…to start.
Out of Saratoga, NY, they just opened up a shop on Church Street in Burlington, VT. This place is amazing. When you open the door, you enter a tasting room; silver vats of olive oils and vinegars line the room and little tasting cups and bowls of bread line the tables. I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. You'll try things like Blood Orange Olive Oil, Jalapeno White Vinegar, and Roasted French Walnut Oil. Like I said, amazing. You can also order online.
Ben and I picked up this sweet little variety pack.
Another awesome foodie item? Fat Toad Farm Goat Milk Caramel. My favorite variety is the Coffee Bean Caramel. It's perfect to stir into your morning coffee, drizzle over ice cream or dip with fruit. If you have a caramel lover in your life, check this stuff out! Their website lists locations where the products are available, or you can order online!
If you're not a foodie, handmade jewelry is another winner, at least in my mother's book. Check out my previous post, Bling-Blingin', to see some of my friend Kate's work. She's got a great eye and makes some pretty awesome jewelry. Do you have any go-to gift ideas? Or something completely different? How do you celebrate your mother?
Anyway, I hope you have found or will find the perfect gift to thank your mother. Good luck, and happy Mothers' Day to all the Moms out there…a few days early!
R & R…or Something Like It.
Wow, it's hard to believe that our mini-getaway was almost three weeks ago! I guess time flies when you're crazy busy!
So, what have I been up these last few weeks?
We successfully took our road trip to visit the fam. Ben finally met my oldest sister, which made me super happy! We also indulged in Wegmans, family time, coffee, tons of delicious food, grilling, 80 degree weather, Wegmans and more Wegmans.
Then we came back to reality. And went back to work. Le sigh.
I made these amazing cupcakes. One of Ben's co-workers liked them so much that he hugged me. Twice.
I also made this ridiculously easy-and crazy good dip.
Oh! I also went to a pretty awesome benefit for a friend (Hi Brenda!). It was so nice to see people come together for an outstanding cause…I even took home a fantastic (giant!) drying rack for laundry…it may take up half of my living room when it's unfolded. And… I may have gotten third place in the karaoke contest, not too shabby!
In our down time, Ben and I have been making random trips to the co-op and grocery store, and ordering giant crocks and sauerkraut stompers from Lehmans. No big deal.
I've also stumbled on a new food obsession. Spinach Smoothies. Don't hate.
I like to mix it up, but my typical creation is this; you take a cup of milk (I've been experimenting with my milks, I'm currently on almond milk), a spoonful of peanut butter, half a banana (frozen works best), a couple spoonfuls of flax seed meal and a bunch of spinach, throw it all in the blender and blend til combined. Enjoy! I have also been known to use nutella instead of peanut butter or add in some kale/berries…I love it because it takes little effort to make and helps me get a nice kick of fruits/veggies in the morning. I also LOVE the bright green color. Anyway, try it. Mix it up. It's worth it.
Speaking of blended veggies, I tried a few of Zee Lemon's juice concoctions over the last week. I have to say, I was a huge fan. Head on over to her blog and check out her "take-over" posts. Pretty interesting stuff. And some great ideas.
Another concoction I came up with?
An apple-peeled, a kiwi-peeled, about a cup of broccoli, about a cup of berries and as much spinach as you can fit in the blender. Surprisingly, very good. It also has a gorgeous color. I had this for breakfast on Friday and it was one of the only times that I wasn't starving a few hours later.
Let's see…what else have I been up to? We spent yesterday with Ben's best friend's family and had a great time. Good food, great conversation and lots of relaxation. I'd say it was a win. Ben even got Preston to eat his veggies. No small feat.
I've also been running and going for walks. And not drinking a lot of coffee. I don't know how I stay awake. I picked up a sweet pair of kicks and have a date with two good friends from good ol' RSC tomorrow. Super excited!
Anyway, that's all for now. Are you going through any weird food phases? Share them below!

Regular IPSC contestants will surely remember Andrew, an irresponsible professor responsible for preparing admission exams at the Department of Informatics Education. For three years (2000-2002) he managed to disappear just a few days before the exams, leaving behind exam questions, but no model solutions. Last year his colleagues chained him to his desk and forced him to write the model solutions. Sadly, as a result there was no "Andrew's Exams" problem in IPSC 2003.
This year Andrew's colleagues wanted to repeat their cruel trick. As we were short on ideas for IPSC questions, we secretely helped him to escape from his office. Unfortunately, we were late. In his desperation, Andrew had already written all model solutions. So to take revenge on his colleagues, he destroyed all copies of the problem statements and disappeared.
Andrew's escape was soon discovered, but upon finding the envelope with the model solutions everyone remained calm. Only a few hours before the exams someone noticed that the problem statements are missing. Andrew's colleagues are at loss - please help them.

Das Erdbeben von Lorca 2011 war ein schweres Erdbeben. Das Epizentrum lag in der südspanischen Stadt Lorca. Das Beben ereignete sich am Mittwoch, den 11. Mai 2011 um 18:47 Uhr MESZ (16:47 UTC). Das Erdbeben hatte eine Stärke von 5,1 Mw auf der Momenten-Magnituden-Skala. Die Tiefe des Hypozentrums des Bebens wurde zunächst mit 1 Kilometer angegeben; später wurden drei Kilometer genannt.

Auswirkung des Bebens

Aus den beiden Städten Lorca und Murcia wurden große Schäden gemeldet. Das Erdbeben forderte mindestens neun Todesopfer, rund 300 Menschen wurden verletzt. Der damalige spanische Ministerpräsident José Zapatero entsandte eine Spezialeinheit ins Katastrophengebiet.

Mögliche Ursache
Ein internationales Forscherteam um Pablo González von der University of Western Ontario in Kanada schrieb 2012 im Fachmagazin "Nature Geoscience", dass Erdbeben dieser Stärke normalerweise deutlich tiefer vorkommen und dass menschliche Aktivitäten wahrscheinlich mitverantwortlich für das Beben waren. Ihren Angaben zufolge ist der Grundwasserspiegel um Lorca herum durch fortlaufendes Abpumpen des Wassers seit 1960 um mindestens 250 Meter gesunken. Die Forscher werteten Satellitenaufnahmen aus.

Any experience with the Hall stuff? Other choices that are better and/or cheaper?
Haven't used that unit. The only thing that stands out to me is the rs232 handling. It's a little more cumbersome than I would like for some automation systems. It also appears to have global baud rate and parity. Fine if connections are all to identical devices, otherwise it could be an issue.
Of course, if you don't care about rs232 then it's all moot.
I haven't used that one but I have been very happy with some of these Binary HDBT matrixes. They have simple DAs as well, but the last time I checked, which was awhile ago, the price reduction between the DA and matrix was minimal so we just went with matrixes. Either way, simple boxes. They've been reliable for us, and no complaints otherwise.
When we got it a few years ago there weren't a lot of options. I know there are a lot more options now, so it may be worth shopping for a higher end option.
I have used the Hall Research products with very good results and very good support.
As was already mentioned just be careful of your needs vs. supported capabilities.
