H.M.S. Brontosaurus, Castle Toward, Dunoon.
Site Ownership and Access Information The site is not accessible to the public. Please respect the owners' privacy.
Initially this base provided basic Royal Navy training for the officers and crews of major landing craft. In November 1942 the ground force element from H.M.S. Dundonald was transferred to Castle Toward and Inveraray about the time the Commandos and Infantry Battalions were being trained in amphibious operations.
The school's remit therefore expanded to include the training of officers and men of the Royal Navy, Army, RAF Regiment and ground crews in combined amphibious operations. The trainers used a variety of assault landing craft such as Landing Ship Infantry (LSI), Landing Craft Tank (LCT) and Landing Craft Personnel (LCP).
The training of officers and men of the ground forces included the skills and procedures of loading tanks, vehicles and personnel followed by the disembarkation of men and machines in mock landings on 'assault' beaches in the area.

"The church shooting was the tipping point," Flanagan wrote in a 23 page manifesto faxed to ABC, "but my anger has been building steadily…I've been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!"
I have news for you, there is no difference between Flanagan and Dylan Roof except the color of their skin. Both posted their hate of another race on social media, wrote manifestos, and then went out and, in cold blood and without conscience, murdered people of the race they hated.
Flanagan also expressed admiration for the gunmen who carried out mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Columbine High School in 1999. I'm pretty sure all biased media will report are his feelings about lone murderer, Dylan Roof.
On August 26, 2015, around daybreak, Vester Lee Flanagan II, aka Bryce Williams, loaded up his gun and smart phone and did something I have never heard of before, he murdered two people in cold blood while filming the deed.
At approximately 7:00 AM, while holding his cell phone in one hand and his weapon in the other, Flanagan walked up to reporters doing a remote, live news broadcast for WDBJ in Virginia, and shot reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward to death. As Flanagan was fleeing the scene, he shot the interviewee, a City Councilwoman, in the back. She is in stable condition at the time of this writing.
It turns out Flanagan, was a former employee of WDBJ. The general manager of that station, located in Roanoke, Virginia, said that Flanagan had a reputation as "being difficult to work with" and was fired because of anger problems in 2013.
Flanagan reportedly shot himself while being chased by state police hours after the murder, where he later died. A coward who will never have to face charges - he should not have been able to choose his own time of death after robbing two beautiful people of that right.
On social media Flanagan accused Allison Parker of using racial slurs against him. Flanagan had filed a lawsuit with EEOC after being fired but the suit was dismissed. Alison's boyfriend gave an interview to CBS today.
Flanagan posted the video of his cowardly act to his social media accounts under the name, "Bryce Williams". Those accounts were removed almost immediately. On his twitter account, @bryce_williams7, he wrote, "I filmed the shooting, see Facebook". He also noted, "Alison made racist comments".
Vester Lee Flanagan was born October 8, 1973. According to his social media posts, he is a Jehova's Witness.

Fayetteville man wins new motorcycle in sweepstakes giveaway
by: Makayla Schindler
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – The Miley Legal Group made a big announcement for its motorcycle giveaway at RG's Almost Heaven Harley-Davidson on Jan. 21 at 1:30 p.m.
The group held a sweepstakes giveaway that anyone could enter last year, announcing the winner on Saturday. Keith Spangler of Fayetteville had been chosen as the winner of a motorcycle of his choice. Spangler chose a red 2022 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 and got to add some accessories in along with it. "When I first got the call that I had won, I said, 'won what?' At first I thought it was a scam, you know, and then, I was convinced that everything was legit. And so, I'm tickled to death. Late Christmas, what a Christmas present," Spangler said.
The event ran from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and included pizza, refreshments and live entertainment. After the motorcycle winner received his bike, other raffle item winners were also announced.

Tim Miley, owner of the Miley Legal Group, said that his group is part of a law firm group across the country that represents the riding community and motorcycle riders. As part of the group, one of the things they do is give away a motorcycle worth up to $20,000. Throughout the riding season, the law firms take entries for the raffle, and then a national raffle company will draw a name for the winner.
When it came to a winner being chosen, Miley was shocked. "We didn't expect it to come from West Virginia because we're competing against states like Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and California and Texas," Miley said.
Although it was not expected, the legal group was thrilled somebody from Fayetteville won and that they had entered through the group's contest. Miley said he feels that West Virginia is usually overlooked when things happen nationally, so it was nice to have somebody local win.
In the 2023 riding season, Miley said he would like to do things a little differently so that West Virginians have a fair opportunity to win again next year. He is not too sure of his plans just yet, but updates can be found throughout the year by clicking here.
Speaking of motorcycles, Triple S Harley-Davidson in Morgantown will be hosting a "chili cook-off" on Jan. 22 beginning at 1 p.m. All proceeds made from the cook-off will benefit Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A).

Wow I seem to have taken almost two months out of blogging, not intentionally, but I had planned to take a few weeks out over Christmas and New Year to enjoy every moment I could with my family. I really did have a lovely relatively stress free Christmas, we celebrated Gracie's birthday after Christmas and January has been so busy! I know most people feel like January is a very long month but it flew by for me.
Throughout January we managed to fully decorate both ours and the girls' bedrooms and it feels like a massive achievement. The rooms look and feel beautiful and homely. It has been so worth the time and effort we have put in over the last few months. Of course with decorating and putting our stuff away in storage, I have felt an overwhelming urge to declutter everything and keep the rooms looking good. Our local charity shop has had many deliveries and I am sure there will be many more. I caught the new Marie Kondo series on Netflix last month which really helped me start to not only declutter but to organise spaces in a more effective way to keep the home more tidy. Never before did I think I would be so excited about folding clothes in a specific way and using dividers to neatly store my underwear.
I started on some new depression medication towards the end of 2018 and have slowly increased the dose recently but I will also be starting CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) shortly so I am hoping that this year will be the one to help me learn to manage my anxiety and depression and motivate me to do more for myself.
I haven't got out and about much in the past month. We received National Trust membership as a Christmas gift from my Dad and Stepmum and I am itching to make use of it and start exploring our local sites. I haven't used my camera much this year either and taking photographs of the kids has become a huge love of mine over the past few years so I am excited to find some nice locations so I can dust off my camera!
I know it sounds so cliche, but I really feel like things are going to come together this year and although 2018 was stressful, it was full of achievements for us all and I wouldn't change a thing! Here is to making 2019 an awesome new adventure!

Consider strengthening research in the UK's best University departments and Research Institutions in fields to be strategically important by the institution.
Likewise, enable UK Universities and Research Institutions to attract to the UK outstanding researchers from overseas in strategic areas.
Similarly, help maintain the strength of the best research departments in UK Universities and Research Institutions by ensuring that they can retain their most talented scientists in strategic areas.
Also, provide flexible funding to excellent research leaders including scientists whose career is on a steep upward trajectory, to conduct high-quality research.
This scheme provides up to five years of funding.
Also, the institution may include a salary enhancement for the researcher. This will limit to a maximum of 20% of the total salary.
Flexible research expenses including consumables, travel, small pieces of equipment of up to £10K, access costs, undergraduate students and a contribution to technical support.
Also, the cost of PhD studentship may only be included if the host organization will commit to underwriting the remaining cost of the studentship and appropriate alternative supervision for the student in the event that the RS Wolfson Research Fellow leaves the institution.
The funding intends to be flexible so other appropriate and justified research costs are also eligible.
The Candidate: These grants are aimed at exceptional researchers at the peak of their career as well as those established researchers whose career is on a steep upward trajectory. Vice Chancellor or Institute Director (or their representative) from the proposed host institution should nominate the candidates. Nominated researchers must either currently hold a permanent post or have received a firm offer to take effect from the start of the appointment. Nominated individuals must not have previously held a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit award.

Will artificial trees be the next power plants?

Wind power is an important source of renewable energy, but some people are concerned that conventional wind turbines are too loud and too hazardous for birds and bats. We wanted to create a new kind of wind energy harvesting machine based on the jiggling motion of cottonwood tree leaves in the wind, which would be quieter and safer for wildlife.
After building and testing artificial cottonwood leaves that moved and created electricity in the wind, we found that they didn't produce enough energy to feasibly use for electricity production. We also tried building a cattail-like device to generate electricity when it swayed in the wind, but it also didn't produce enough energy to make it reasonable to use.
Though our research showed that artificial plants' jiggling or swaying isn't likely to be a cost-effective way to produce electricity, we think it could be fruitful to look into other plant-inspired designs for harvesting wind energy. We also are testing a previously unexploited biological material known to convert mechanical to electrical energy far more effectively than the ones used today.

Even the most savvy Stereophile reader might wonder what a "network music player" is. Linn rightly considers a music server to be a combination of 1) stored digital files, 2) music-management software, and 3) a device that uses #2 to transfer #1 to your hi-fi. What Linn's Klimax DS is is a high-quality digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that receives digital data through an Ethernet connection rather than optical or electrical S/PDIF or AES/EBU inputs.
The Klimax DS doesn't store your files—you'll need a network-attached storage (NAS) drive for that—nor does it allow you to organize your files or construct playlists, for which Linn does supply a graphic user interface (GUI), which runs on a computer or PC tablet (Linn's recommendation) that you supply. While it can be connected to your existing WiFi system, like other music servers, because the Klimax DS can handle192kHz sample rates at a word length of 24 bits, Linn very much prefers you to establish a wired network to ensure maximum performance. The Klimax doesn't have an optical disc drive, so you'll need a separate PC to rip your files—or you could do what Linn recommends and "hire a ripping service to do it for you."
The Klimax DS is unlike any other network music devices because it assumes you're starting with high-quality sources, not lossy compressed files. Linn's default standard is lossless-compressed FLAC files. But its real glory is handling higher-rez material—not only does it accept native resolutions up to 192kHz, it also upconverts to 384kHz or 352.8kHz.
The price for such clarity of purpose? Linn's CEO, Ivor Tiefenbrun, assures us that it's less than $20,000. Discovering if the Klimax DS is worth that price was hard work, but, as Sam Spade told the fat man, I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble.
"These are facts, historical facts, not schoolbook history"
The Klimax DS shares the slimline chassis style established by the Sondek CD12 CD player (now discontinued) and carried on by the Klimax amplifiers and Kontrol preamplifier. That means it's machined from a solid billet of aluminum, which assures it of excellent EMF shielding and mechanical isolation.
What's under the hood? Upconversion is handled by a Xilinx field-programmable gate-array stage, and the D/A conversion is done by Wolfson delta-sigma devices with isolating output transformers. Linn doesn't include a drive in the Klimax, I was told, because they wanted the Klimax to be an entirely "open" product and not limited to specific optical disc formats.
"Here's to plain speaking and clear understanding"
The Klimax DS is not a component for anyone attempting to do a music server on the cheap. Whether you find this a deal-breaker or not will depend, I reckon, on two things: money, and your desire to have the "best" digital sound. Linn is obviously assuming you have lots of the first and a powerful version of the second.
I'm not the typical Linn customer, so my experience with the Klimax DS wasn't what that customer would have. As Linn explains it, your Klimax would normally be installed by a dealer, who would encourage you to prepare by buying an NAS drive and having your digital library ripped to it by a service such as MusicShifter. If you purchased a 1TB NAS from MusicShifter and had them rip 600 discs to FLAC, you'd pay a little over $1000.
Then your dealer would bring your Klimax DS over, install it in your system, and add a WiFi router (they start at around $50) and an Ethernet hub (another $50). Then he'd connect them all to your system and your now-filled NAS and show you how to operate your system with the tablet PC (another $1000), using Linn's graphic user interface (GUI) or one of the many open-source GUIs available. If that's your experience, your initial response to the Klimax DS will probably be fairly favorable.
My point is that Linn's GUI is not intuitive. It's also, as I discovered, rather clunky and, not to put too fine a point on it, stupid. For instance, the most basic attraction of a music server, as I understand it, is the ability to easily manipulate your digital files, creating and changing playlists—and, if you manage to come up with a good 'un, to store it. The Linn GUI will let you create a playlist, but it will play files only in the order in which you add them to the list. You can't randomize, you can't drag and drop the files into a more pleasing arrangement, and if you do put in the hours creating a playlist with tracks in the precise order that you'd like to listen to them, you can't save it.
To handle those chores, Linn suggests that you download Media Monkey, Music IP, or similar open-format applications. I tried Twonky Media Server at Linn's suggestion, but was not impressed.
One last setup grouse: The cooling fan of the Linn-supplied NAS drive was offensively noisy, alternating between very and extremely loud. (The case houses four 3.5" drives, which run hot.) My solution was simple: I put it in another room. Ethernet cables are cheap.
"You'll take it and like it"
You may well be asking: Enough already with CDs—how do I get the hi-rez files the Klimax DS was made to play?
Well, you can download them from the Internet. At the moment, there are two main sources: Linn's Studio Master downloads and Mark Waldrep's iTrax. They won't be the only game in town for long, however.
There are minor problems with this. For one thing, you'll need another computer. And you better get yourself a download manager, because 24-bit/96kHz files are huge, even in FLAC form, and you can't manually download an entire album, you have to do it track by track, at least at Linn's website. For $25 I bought iGetter, which uses segmented (accelerated) downloading. I simply put 96 tracks into the queue, turned iGetter loose, and forgot all about it—until my laptop told me it had 800MB of hard-drive space left. Yup, those are big files.
In the same chasis, but the inards have been completely updated in 2011 I believe.

Dakshinachitra: A Timeless Portrait of the Southern Land
Traditions and culture bind the ethnic fabric that has woven the fine tapestry along the peninsula of India. The southern states that hold the Indian plate amidst the mighty Arabian Sea and the epic Bay of Bengal are Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.
Filled with mystic tales and spiced aromas that instill deep feelings etched into the life of Southerners in India. The ethnicity spread around these regions was sculpted to form the place called Dakshinachitra, also known as the picture of the south.
Designed as a heritage village that displays the vernacular way of South Indian lifestyle. In the year 1996, Dakshinachitra opened its doors to the public at Muttukadu in Tamil Nadu.
It is the project of a nonprofit organization called Madras Craft Foundation. It was conceived as an outdoor museum to revive the life and environment dwelled by the people of the South. It is a vibrant center that becomes a place to learn and unwind.
Late Ar. Laurie Baker offered his services encompassing his techniques to the spatial conceptualization of the village. The meticulous methodology reinforced with his philosophy captivated the masons and craftsmen to envision and paint it on the canvas of land.
The 10-acre complex was created with ticket counters, a reception, seminar halls, workshops and display spaces, a craft bazaar, item stores and a restaurant.
The concept was an evolution of understanding the traditional elements integrated in a contemporary context while sensitively approaching factors like climate, location, and availability of materials.
Architectural spaces such as courtyards, verandas along with elements like jali and pitched roofs speak a language of time invoking a rustic character in the buildings.
The intricate system of rafters and beams held by the classic craft of joinery resonate an authentic traditional charm. While exposed brick and stone exude the overall effect.
The structural members such as granite columns and stone slabs from old buildings integrate harmoniously while respecting the pride and heritage.
Debbie Thiagarajan, the founder of Dakshinachitra evolved the principles of Laurie Baker into the context of the site while persuading him to design the site. Baker has archived many drawings and diagrams that portray his vision.
Guest House 1 was constructed by Baker with intricate instructions and notes were laid out especially for the Weaver's House and Chettiar House. Baker's initial idea for the masterplan was a map, visualized as each state with its own walkways and alleys that deal with the life of ordinary people.
Envisioning bold and attractive entrances fused with interesting circulation patterns and movements that delight the visitors. While bringing in the rush and pompous thrill into the exhibition spaces. Baker says that "Architecture is mostly common sense, so if you look carefully at the buildings and try to understand the materials.
You should be able to solve most of the problems" Due to some circumstantial issues the original site had to be shifted while it made some alterations to the site plan. Dr. Benny Kuriakose came into the picture working on the path set by Baker in Dakshinachitra.
He was associated with Baker and Debbie in 1984 with Madras Craft Foundation. He was involved with the buildings in 1995 with the construction of Calicut House, Puthupally House and Koothattukulam House of the Kerala section.
Most of Baker's ideas had to be changed because of the site shift. When Benny Kuriakose took up the work, he followed the same vocabulary of Guest House 1 into the construction methods. He brought in a touch of contemporary style to the main entrance block which sets as an example for visitors to understand the ways in which traditional elements can be used in the present-day architecture.
Similarly, he designed other structures such as the potter's kiln, the administrative building and school of traditional design while imbibing the spirit of Laurie Baker and his timeless philosophies.
His extensive reconstruction works for Kerala architecture followed a procedure of numbering and assembling. Each member numbered to smoothly arrange it to its position. Measured drawings were done with utmost precision, cross-checking every minute detail.
Every stage had to be photographed and recorded to make the reassembly less chaotic. Diverse methods of construction devoid of nails made it much easier to dismantle and assemble. A few parts were damaged and could not be reused in reconstruction.
The traditional thought-provoking systems made the whole team to solve intriguing details with the help of their senior craftsmen. The whole operation executed by Benny Kuriakose has indeed saved an era that is getting lost.
Dakshinachitra will truly remain as an epitome of life in south India. It breathes as a cross-cultural centre exploring the art, architecture, lifestyle and crafts by exhibiting, promoting and preserving beyond borders.

Woman in India dies trying to deliver baby herself after watching YouTube videos
The mother was found after neighbours saw blood flowing out of her room

File photo of a pregnant woman
A woman and her baby died after she attempted to deliver her baby herself by watching YouTube clips, as she feared being stigmatised for being a single mother, Indian police said.
The 26-year-old unmarried woman was in the full-term of her pregnancy when she attempted self-delivery at her rented accommodation in the city of Gorakhpur in India, while watching a child delivery video online.
Both, the woman and her child, a boy, died in the process, police said on Monday.
The incident took place in the city's Bilandpur area, under Cantonment police station, on Sunday night, station house officer Ravi Rai said.
He added that the likely reason behind her self-delivery attempt was "fear of social stigma attached to being an unmarried mother", reported the Hindustan Times.

Rai said the matter came to light when the woman's neighbours informed her landlord about blood flowing out of her room on Monday morning.
"Her landlord Ravi Upadhyay broke open the door and found the woman and a newborn baby boy lying dead", said Rai.
"He immediately informed the police, who reached the site and sent the body for post-mortem.
"Her smartphone revealed that she was watching 'how to deliver baby by self' and other similar "safe delivery processes" on YouTube."
A pair of scissors, a blade and some thread was found near the woman's body.

The unnamed woman, a native of the town of Bahraich, had taken the rented accommodation just four days earlier. Her relatives were informed about the incident, who confirmed that she was unmarried, Rai said.
Unmarried women in India often face shame and social exclusion over pregnancies and feel unable to seek help from doctors for fear of exposure in the conservative country.
Apparently the woman was living in Gorakhpur for the past four years.
"After post-mortem her body was handed over to family members who have refused to lodge FIR (first information report) against anybody," Rai said.

Beating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's The Italian Way
Scientists reveal mechanism that poisons cells to provoke diseases
ROME – Think of a skip overflowing with rubbish. The cleansing department is on strike and the skip never gets emptied. It won't be long before the contents begin to poison the air with unpleasant smells, pose public health problems and exasperate residents. Something very similar happens in all the cells in our bodies when they are unable to break down the toxins their own activities generate. Over time, the waste accumulates, triggering a chain of events that can bring on very serious conditions, like Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, Parkinson's disease and a swath of accumulation syndromes, such as mucopolysaccharidosis, glycogenosis and others, on the long list of rare genetic diseases. The mechanism underlying this malfunction has now been revealed by researchers at TIGEM, the Telethon institute of genetics and medicine, in Naples. Yesterday, the study was published in Science.
"It's probably the most important result we have ever achieved. We've been working on it for two years", said TIGEM's director, Andrea Ballabio. Understanding why the "rubbish" is not broken down and then reutilised by the cell could lead to the development of drugs to correct the defect. There are no treatments for most accumulation-related diseases. Organs go haywire. There is no such thing as a cure. But the TIGEM research could point the way to a cure for all these conditions. But we should not be over-optimistic as research is still at a very early stage. Now experiments will begin on animals and then, if things go well, on humans. How long will it take? Two, five or even ten years. Everything hinges on the malfunctioning of one gene, TFEB, which regulates a team of other genes. It's rather like a remote control that can turn on several screens. Together, the genes coordinate the functioning of lysosomes, tiny organelles inside the cell that act as waste-disposal units. In fact, sometimes the conditions are called lysosomal diseases.
There is a sort of control room. Marco Sardiello, the article's first author, explains: "We have seen that increasing the levels of TFEB boosts lysosome levels and enables the cell to break down the toxins. Specifically, this occurred with the protein responsible for Huntington's chorea, a disease for which there is no known cure". The paper presented in Science is dedicated to Susanna Agnelli, the recently deceased chair of the Telethon foundation. Despite the crisis, this year's Telethon collected 35 million euros, enabling 36 projects to be financed. Private donations are essential to support research. The foundation for cystic fibrosis, a condition that affects 5,000 people in Italy, has launched a campaign called "Un occhio di riguardo" [A Respectful Eye]. From July, eyewear designed by Marta and Matteo Marzotto will go on sale in chemist's shops. One euro will be given to the campaign for every pair purchased.

Sophomore Lends a Helping Hand to her Community
Ajinkya Rane
Amari Trevino-Beverly reviews systems of equations with her sister Ailani Beverly before her upcoming math test. Trevino-Beverly tutors her siblings in various subjects and disciplines.
Annie Qiao and Ajinkya Rane
As the sun peeks over the roof of the Trevino-Beverly household, all is peaceful. The low hum of childish cartoons plays in the background and the intermittent tapping on keyboards resounds. Sophomore Amari Trevino-Beverly is buzzing with energy, already slipping on her shoes to go for a run.
In between recovering from a back injury and training for track, Trevino-Beverly currently coaches fifth graders in basketball every week at Cadence Elementary.
"I love kids; I love them; I just make their day," Trevino-Beverly said. "There's this little kid, his name is Isiah at [Cadence Elementary], and he doesn't have a lot of friends. He's so lonely and everything, and he told me his favorite sport was basketball. I was like, 'Mine is too!' We're just all playing basketball. He's just making new friends, playing basketball, and he enjoys it. So now he has the confidence to play at school with the other kids. He's more social now."
Trevino-Beverly's passion for youth extends past her work at Cadence Elementary; as the oldest of four children, she had to mature early in order to take care of her siblings. From helping her younger sisters with homework to watching cartoons with her four-year-old brother, she contributes significantly to the household workload.
Trevino-Beverly left behind most of her friends and extended family when she moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Irvine after eighth grade. Moving from a predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhood to one with more cultures, she faced bullying throughout her freshman year, which is why she advocates strongly against it today.
"I think bullying shouldn't be allowed at all, because there are a lot of people that are very sensitive. It really hurts them, even though people be playing around about it and don't think it's bullying, people harm themselves because of it, and I don't like that at all," Trevino-Beverly said. "In sixth grade I had a close friend of mine – she committed suicide because kids were bullying her a lot because of her weight or the way she looked."
Today, Trevino-Beverly tries to advocate against bullying on campus at both the small and large scale. In addition to defusing the situation by confronting any individual bullies she sees on campus, she said she also aspires to start a club or program along that same idea and is not afraid of reaching out to trusted adults on campus like coaches or administration members.
Moreover, Trevino-Beverly strives for success in the many activities she pursues, especially in athletics. An aspiring three-sport athlete, she said she wants to use her newfound confidence to leave her impact on the community around her.
"I'm trying to join everything as much as I can," Trevino-Beverly said. "When senior year comes everybody's just like that's the kid, that was the first girl on the first varsity team for football."
As a child, Trevino-Beverly was influenced by the time she spent playing sports like football and basketball with male relatives. She discovered her passion for co-ed athletics and seeks to bring that same ethic to varsity sports on campus.
"I try to help everybody as much as possible. If I see bullying around, I try to stop it. I just do whatever I want, because you only live once, you know?" Trevino-Beverly said. "I'm just doing whatever I can before I die."

All applicants are welcome and encouraged to apply.
Our courses cost $15 per week. Total fees are different for different locations because different term dates and holidays affect the number of lessons held at each location for the term. A non-refundable fee for the lessons in the term must be submitted with your child or teenager's completed enrolment form.
Please answer the following question completely and honestly. We will take all reasonable care to ensure your child is safely looked after but we do not accept any liability. It is better for you to be more thorough rather than less in this section.
Please describe any allergies, medical conditions, mental illnesses, medications taken etc.
I accept that Coding NZ facilitators are supplied to help students overcome knowledge gaps and answer questions. I accept that the facilitators are provided as teachers/tutors and not as behavioural discipliners. I accept that should my child/ward's behaviour be deemed unacceptable by a facilitator I may be informed and my child/ward may be immediately removed from the current and all future Coding NZ classes at the discretion of a facilitator.
I accept that Coding NZ is not responsible for my child/ward outside of the allotted lesson hour. I accept that it is my responsibility to arrange for the pickup of my child/ward at the end of the lesson and to arrange for their initial reaching of the lesson location at the beginning of the lesson. I accept that Coding NZ will not be considering who picks up and drops off my child/ward as they are not responsible for them outside the allotted lesson time. I accept that it is my responsibility to inform my child/ward of "stranger danger" and not that of Coding NZ. I accept that Coding NZ is not a childcare service and will not take responsibility for any children not signed up to their class and may ask these unenrolled children to leave the location if they are distracting class students.
I accept that facilitators may hand out wrapped treats to my child/ward. I accept that I am responsible for informing Coding NZ of any allergies or food intolerances my child/ward may have (an easy way to do this is via the text box for it on the sign-up form).
I accept that in order to ensure the safety of all students Coding NZ does not allow parents to sit in on lessons with their child/ward. I accept that I will not be able to attend a class alongside my child/ward, and that I will contact a facilitator if I want to watch a class from a separate space in the classroom to the students.
I accept that at any point Coding NZ may take photos or videos or quotations of my child/ward and use these in any future marketing, advertising, communications or other materials without consulting me. I accept that they may use my child/ward's first name and other details (age, gender etc.) along with these materials or separately for any purpose. I accept that any communications I have with Coding NZ may be used in a similar fashion unless I specify their privacy at the time of contact.
I accept that Coding NZ endeavours at all times to provide a safe and secure environment for classes. Neither Coding NZ nor the shareholders, directors, contractors, employees or franchisees of Coding NZ will accept personal liability for any act of omission arising from any activity of any session.
I accept that Coding NZ reserves the right to change any of the programme activities or curriculum at any time.
According to "15. Parental Repsonsibility" I accept that I am responsible for informing my child/ward that they are to use the bathroom before class starts. I accept that if my child/ward needs to use the bathroom during class times that they will be sent there alone if the course is between 9am and 4pm at a school location. I accept that they will be sent to the bathroom with another student if the class is held outside of the location or times aforementioned. I accept that the facilitator is not responsible for the well-being of students who have left the classroom to use the bathroom or another facility. I understand that if my child/ward does not return to class within 15 minutes that I will be contacted via text message and that the facilitator will attempt to locate my child/ward to the extent that they can without leaving the main group of students unsupervised. I accept that I will receive a phone call informing me of my child/ward's missing status at the end of the class.
I accept that if my child/ward damages any property belonging to Coding NZ that I may be charged for the cost of repairing or replacing the property or for any related insurance excess.
I accept that if the facilitator deems it necessary they may arrange for urgent medical attention for my child/ward, the cost of which I take the responsibility to meet.
I accept that (excluding provisions made by "5. Photography, Videography & Quotations") information of my child/ward may be held by Coding NZ and will not be made available to third parties and will only be accessible to authorized staff members. I accept that at any time, I may request to see my child/ward's information.
I accept that Coding NZ will inform me via text message during class if my child/ward does not attend and was expected to. I accept that if other students in the class inform the facilitator that my child/ward was not at school that day or left school during the day that this will constitute the student being "not expected" and that I may not receive a text message in these instances.
I accept that my child/ward will be excluded from classes if they are ill in order to safeguard the health of all students attending.
I accept that I will be notified via text message and email if a class is to be missed because Coding NZ is unable to run it. I accept that I will be refunded the fee paid for that lesson to my nominated bank account.
I accept that I am responsible for advising Coding NZ of any changes in my contact details or those of my alternative contact person.
I accept that I am responsible to ensure that my child/ward knows when and where they are to attend the Coding NZ classes. I accept that I am responsible for informing my child that they are expected to be well behaved in class, and that they are expected to drink water, have a snack and go to the bathroom before class commences. I accept that I am responsible for ensuring my child has access to a snack and water before class starts.
I accept that if I have a dispute with Coding NZ or one of their shareholders, directors, contractors, employees or franchisees that I will contact the person in question to resolve the issue in good faith first. If the issue is not resolved to my satisfaction I will then contact the Coding NZ head office and attempt to resolve the issue in good faith with them. If the issue remains unresolved I will attend mediation with Coding NZ to resolve the issue.
I accept that completing this enrolment form, with or without payment, and receiving any subsequent contact from Coding NZ does not guarantee my child/ward a spot in the Coding NZ lessons. I accept that Coding NZ may deny my child/ward attendance at their discretion with or without disclosing reasons and that I will be refunded in full for any fees paid to Coding NZ for classes which Coding NZ refuses admittance to my child/ward.

Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in several Asian countries. This disease is transmitted by mosquito bite which breed mainly in rice fields. Risk of JE are higher if travellers plan to visit rural agricultural areas for more than a month but occasionally cases are reported from urban areas as well. Risk of infection for short-term travelers is very low, but cases do occur.
Ixiaro vaccine is indicated for the prevention of disease caused by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in adults. Active immunization consists of 2 doses Ixiaro given 28 days apart. Older JE-VAX vaccine is no more available in Canada which required 3-dose schedule.

I wrote a research paper focusing on the historical and social outlook on tattoo's roles in society. I hoped to capture many diverse outlooks on tattoos from all over the world. I collected tons of information from book and internet resources. My fascination with tattoos began last year when I myself got a tattoo, and I hope the audience will share my fascination after reading my paper.

Frederick Scott Archer (1813 Bishop's Stortford, Spojené království – 1857) byl jedním ze zakladatelů moderní fotografie. Vynalezl metodu mokrého kolodiového procesu a ambrotypie.

Život
O životě tohoto zakladatele moderní fotografie mnoho nevíme. Jen několik útržků z jeho života zaznamenala manželka Fanny G. Archer po jeho smrti. Od ní víme, že se narodil do řeznické rodiny v městečku Bishop Stortford v Anglii v roce 1813. Ještě jako malý chlapec ztratil oba rodiče a byl vychováván vzdálenými příbuznými a přáteli.

Byl dán do učení na stříbrotepce. Setkání se starožitnými mincemi a drahými kameny pocházejícími z celého světa mu učarovalo a přivedlo k hlubšímu studiu numismatiky. Později se také po určitou dobu oceňováním mincí živil. Výtvarná stránka mincí ho také inspirovala k dalšímu jeho zájmu a zaměstnání – sochařství. Za pomoci přátel založil na Henrietta Street v Londýně sochařské studio, které se orientovalo na tvorbu bust. Řada z lidí, kteří se nechali v jeho studiu portrétovat, náležela k známým osobnostem své doby (Marquis of Northampton, lord Albert Conyngham, William Smith) a jejich busty vytvořené Archerovým studiem můžeme dodnes obdivovat v National Portrait Gallery v Londýně.

V roce 1847 začal ve svém studiu využívat fotografii jako prostředku zjednodušení a zpřesnění sochařské práce. Využíval techniku kalotypie, kterou se naučil od svého lékaře Hugh W. Diamonda. Snažil se eliminovat nepříjemný vliv struktury papíru na kvalitu výsledné fotografie napouštěním papíru kolodiem. Stále však nemohl dosáhnout uspokojivé adheze obou materiálů. Zlepšení kvality se mu nepodařilo ani po použití vaječného bílku, želatiny či škrobu. To ho přivedlo na myšlenku hledat za papír náhradu. V té době (1849) se už zcela věnoval fotografii, a to ve svém novém studiu ve vlastním domě na Great Russell Street v Bloomsbury. Tady také dospěl ke svému nejdůležitějšímu vynálezu – zaměnil papír za sklo a potáhnul ho jodizovaným kolodiem.

První fotografie vytvořené touto metodou ukázal svým přátelům již v roce 1850. Po jejím opakovaném ověřování pak konečně o rok později publikoval v časopise "Chemist" svůj (dnes již klasický a do roku 2001 téměř zapomenutý) článek "Využití kolodia ve fotografii", který zcela změnil směr dalšího vývoje fotografie. V něm prezentoval nejen výhody využití kolodia při fotografování, ale nabídl i podrobné instrukce pro jeho správnou aplikaci.

Zpráva o nové technologii se rychle šířila a již následující rok mohl psát jeden z průkopníků fotografie Fox Talbot svému příteli fotografu Johnu Dillwynovi Llewelynovi o svém údivu nad schopností takto snímané fotografie zachytit vlny na hladině, vítr nebo kouř. O dva roky později (1854) už sám Llewelyn ohromil na Světové výstavě v Londýně svými "instantními" fotografiemi, zaznamenávajícími vlny na vodní hladině, lidi v pohybu, mraky a příboj tříštící se o pobřeží, kouř vycházející z lodního komína apod.

Archer vynález nikdy nepatentoval, a tak zůstal k volnému využití všem, kteří o něj měli zájem. Nakonec dokonce musel čelit nařčení Foxe Talbota, že jeho vynález je součástí Talbotova patentu na kalotypii. Talbot v té době publikoval výzvu, aby nebyla Archerova metoda využívána bez jeho (samozřejmě placené) autorizace. Dočasně se mu tak dokonce podařilo několik fotografů donutit svá fotografická studia zavřít. Talbot byl ale nakonec kvůli svým neopodstatněným požadavkům zesměšněn a prohrál i soudní spor, který sám vyvolal.

Je jisté, že Archer mohl na případném patentování svého vynálezu nepředstavitelně zbohatnout. Místo toho však v roce 1854 publikoval podrobný manuál používání kolodia s názvem "The Collodion process on Glass". To stimulovalo tisíce lidí k jeho využití. To, že Archer svůj vynález nepatentoval, nebyl důsledek jeho neschopnosti, ale projev jeho velkorysé a skromné osobnosti, jež se o své poznatky ráda nezištně podělila, ačkoliv byl k podání patentu svými přáteli opakovaně vyzýván a některé své další vynálezy i sám patentoval.

Ironií osudu zůstává, že Archer ve svých 44 letech v roce 1857 zemřel – v bídě a téměř zapomnění. Teprve po jeho smrti byla uskutečněna malá sbírka na podporu jeho rodiny a přiznána malá státní renta pro vdovu. Po její smrti se pouze jedno ze tří osiřelých dětí dožilo dospělosti. Jeho další osud není znám.

Nejvýznamnější objevy

Mokrý kolodiový proces

Tento vynález je nejvýznamnějším vynálezem Scotta Archera, neboť zajistil tvorbu kvalitního negativu umožňujícího dokonalou reprodukci fotografií. Velmi rychle tak nahradil předešlé postupy (daguerrotypii a především kalotypii). Přínosem nebyla jen možnost vytvořit kvalitní obraz a kvalitně ho reprodukovat, ale také výrazné zkrácení expozičního času v řádech několika sekund, což umožnilo rozšířit aplikaci fotografie na rychle probíhající či krátce trvající jevy. Zanedbatelný nebyl ani pokles finančních nákladů a snížení možnosti otravy (především oproti daguerrotypii).

Tajemstvím Archerova úspěchu byla schopnost rozpoznat jedinečné vlastnosti nedávno objeveného kolodia (do té doby využívaného téměř výhradně jen ve zdravotnictví jako obvazového materiálu) a podívat se na problém "z druhé strany". Tak byla skloubena schopnost kolodia vytvářet tenký, hydrofobní film přilnavý ke sklu na jedné straně a průhlednost skla, nevnášející žádný šum do vznikajícího obrazu, na straně druhé. Archer využil i některé další své poznatky a vynálezy, jako například rychlejší a účinnější vývojku, v níž byla do té doby používaná kyselina gallová nahrazena kyselinou pyrogallovou.

Archerův postup byl velmi jednoduchý – smíchal kolodium s jodidem draselným a (na skleněné desce) vzniklý film pak namáčel do roztoku dusičnanu stříbrného. Tato kombinace přinesla výrazné zcitlivění snímající fotografické desky, čímž se výrazně zkrátil čas expozice za dosažení dokonalého obrazu. Jedinou (a bohužel ne nevýznamnou) nevýhodou tohoto procesu zůstalo, že po celou dobu musely desky zůstat vlhké až do momentu expozice. Vzhledem k tomu, že kolodium schne rychle, musely se desky připravovat těsně před fotografováním a fotograf tak musel na cestě za pořízením snímků nosit celou příruční laboratoř a temnou komoru. Jejich vysušováním se totiž výrazně snižovala citlivost.

Důležitým aspektem tehdejší fotografie byla také absence jakékoliv možnosti zvětšení fotografie – výsledný formát printu byl shodný s velikostí desky (a tedy fotografického přístroje). Dnes již do jisté míry kuriózně může působit také další aspekt používání kolodia. Využívaná směs byla totiž nejen vysoce hořlavá, ale také explozivní.

Ambrotypie

Archerův další vynález (na němž se podílel také amatérský fotograf a právník Peter Fry) byl objev jevu nazývaného ambrotypie (nebo také koloidní pozitiv). Jeho podstatou je skutečnost, že stříbrné soli v podexponovaném negativu odráží světlo. Ten se proto podložený tmavým podkladem (nejčastěji sametem nebo lakem) jeví jako pozitiv. Tato metoda byla velice populární a používala se přes dvacet let v období 1850–1880, stejně jako koloidní proces jako takový. Výsledek ambrotypie se podobal daguerrotypii, obraz však vznikal na zcela odlišném principu, který umožňoval pozorovat obraz v libovolném úhlu, a byl především výrazně levnější a rychlejší.

 1851 "Využití kolodia ve fotografii" (časopis Chemist)
 1854 "The Collodion process on Glass"

Kontroverze s kolodiovým procesem
Vynález mokrého kolodivého procesu, nejběžnějšího procesu fotografování mezi lety 1855 a 1881, je obvykle přiznáván Fredericku Scottovi Archerovi, který publikoval metodu v roce 1851 a řekl, že ho vynalezl již v roce 1848. Jeho metoda umožňovala fotografům kombinovat jemné detaily daguerreotype s možností tisknout více kopií na papír, podobně jako kalotypie.

Dalším kandidátem byl Gustave Le Gray, který v roce 1850 publikoval jiný, méně praktický kolodiový proces. Ale až do konce svého života Robert Jefferson Bingham hrdě prohlašoval, že byl první, kdo o kolódiovém procesu psal, a to buď ve své knize z roku 1848, nebo ve vydání z ledna 1850, což z něho dělá vynálezce tohoto procesu. Zatímco je obecně uznáván jako jeden z prvních vynálezců, kteří nezávisle navrhli kolodium jako alternativu k papíru, vynález je obvykle připisován Archerovi, protože jako první publikoval prakticky použitelný popis procesu.

O Archerovi po jeho smrti
V roce 1857 byla po smrti S. Archera publikována v časopise "Punch" tato pocta a výzva ke sbírce na pomoc jeho rodině:

V září roku 2001 uspořádaly známé fotografické domy (George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography, The Collodion Journal) konferenci a výstavu u příležitosti 150 let prvního publikování Archerova objevu koloidního procesu.

Annual Supreme Court guessing game: Will Kennedy stay or go?
Associated Press online
Filling the vacancy could be as contentious as it was when Justice Lewis Powell, Kennedy's predecessor, retired in 1987 and President Ronald Reagan settled on Kennedy only after his first two choices for the seat failed, said David Yalof, chairman of political science at the University of Connecticut.
"The difference is that in 1987 you had a Democratic Senate face off against a Republican president in his final two years in office. Here, you have a Republican Senate and a Republican president in his first two years in office," Yalof said.

"By definition, the attorney general and the president of the United States are going to have conflict," said David A. Yalof, a political science professor at the University of Connecticut who wrote a book about DOJ investigations of the executive branch, "Prosecution Among Friends."
"It's inevitable," Yalof said. "That's because it's the nature of being the nation's chief law enforcement officer, is that occasionally you have to make decisions that are not in the president's political interest. That's the job."

Schools, Education Policy, and the Future of the First Amendment Political Communication
Mark Hugo Lopez , Peter Levine , Kenneth Dautrich & David Yalof
A democracy requires broad public support for freedom of expression. Individuals form persistent views about civil liberties and other political issues during adolescence. Many factors influence adolescents' opinions and beliefs, including what they learn and experience in schools. Therefore, schools' treatment of the Constitution and the press is important for the future of the First Amendment. In turn, state policies influence what schools teach and what extracurricular experiences they offer. This article estimates the impact of existing state policies and students' experiences on students' knowledge of, and attitudes toward, the First Amendment. A hierarchical linear model analysis of data from the Knight Foundation 2005 Future of the First Amendment survey, combined with data on state education policies, reveals that discussing the news media in class enhances students' attitudes and habits related to the free press. Also, when their teachers have required the use of news media in classes, students are more likely to use the news media regularly. For the most part, however, existing state policies that might be expected to enhance students' knowledge, attitudes, or habits related to the First Amendment do not seem to have a significant impact. The most promising types of new policies would be ones that support the discussion of news in classrooms.
Confirmation Obfuscation: Supreme Court Confirmation Politics in a Conservative Era Studies in Law, Politics & Society
David A. Yalof
The premise that the U.S. Supreme Court never veers too far off from the dominant national political coalition (Dahl, 1957) has become widely accepted among social scientists today. To fulfill that promise, however, the confirmation process for justices must serve as a plebiscite through which the public can ratify or reject future justices based on their views. Unfortunately, modern confirmation hearings have become an exercise in obfuscation, providing little meaningful dialogue on important issues. Because conservative Republican presidents have made the lion's share of appointments in recent times, social conservatives have most often benefited from a process that has severed the link between Supreme Court nominees and the polity they must serve.
Dress Rehearsal Politics and the Case of Earmarked Judicial Nominees Cardozo L. Rev.
The fires of lower court politics that raged through much of George W. Bush's first term as President have provided considerable grist for the commentators' mill-within these battles lie much for law professors, social scientists, and journalists alike to consider as they address the various themes that have characterized the modem state of federal judicial appointments.


Did Sam Presti just recreate two former Thunder players?
Melo will more than likely land in Houston with his buddy, Chris Paul but that won't become official until he is waived by Atlanta.
We all know how Sam Presti lessened the blow of the luxury tax, but what hasn't been talked about as much is how great of a trade this is for OKC from a team standpoint.
Sam Presti has recreated Thabo Sefolosha and Reggie Jackson in the acquisition of Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schröder, 24, and Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, 23.
The comparison of Schröder and Jackson is one thing, but Cabarrot is literally a carbon copy of Sefolosha after his second season with the Chicago Bulls.
Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot's first two seasons: 5.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 16.4 minutes per game. Thabo Sefolosha's first two seasons: 5.2 points, 1.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game. In addition, both players are defensive-minded and great on-ball defenders.
Neither are great shooters, but Sefolosha has matured in a satisfactory three-and-D caliber player during his 12-year career. Yet another comparison: In Cabarrot's first two seasons, he shoots 39.0 percent from the field, 32.3 percent from three and 83.4 percent from the free-throw line. Sefolosha averaged 42.7 percent from the field, 34.4 percent from three and 61.6 percent from the free-throw line. All similar stats for the exception of free throw percentage where Cabarrot has excelled.
The similarities aren't just in statistics. They have a nearly identical build as well. When Thabo was 23 years old, he was six-foot-six and weighed in at 213 pounds. Cabarrot is six-foot-six and weighs 200 pounds. Lastly, Cabarrot is from Antibes, France and Sefolosha is from Vevey, Switzerland, which is a six-hour drive.
If Cabarrot develops as he should, he'll be a slightly more athletic version of Sefolosha and an outstanding option off the bench defensively and will be expected to be the Andre Roberson of the bench unit.
I forgot to mention, Cabarrot's favorite player is Paul George. What a world we live in.
As for Schröder, he's essentially a better version of Reggie Jackson or that's what will be expected of him in OKC, of course with less attitude.
Last season, Schröder averaged 19.4 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.1 rebounds in 31.0 minutes per game. Last season, Jackson averaged 14.4 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.8 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per game. Jackson's best season was his first year in Detroit where he averaged 17.2 points, 9.2 assists, and 4.7 rebounds in 32.2 minutes per game.
Schröder is six-foot-one, 172 pounds while Jackson is built more like Westbrook, standing at six-foot-three, 208 pounds.
The biggest difference between these two players will be their attitude in their situation. Although they both have an edgy, slightly controversial type of personality that actually matches one Russell Westbrook, Jackson wasn't fond of Westbrook (or playing behind him). Schröder, however, expressed that Westbrook is his favorite player. There's a five-year age difference between the two, so maybe he'll be more apt to learn from the former MVP and won't see it as competition like Jackson, who is closer to Russ' age.
I fully expect Schröder to embrace being the Thunder's sixth-man and learning from Westbrook. Just a thought, if he improves his numbers and truly learns from Westbrook as expected, could he end up being Russell's successor after his prime? Very possible. By that time, age-wise Dennis would be around 30 years old. The same age as Westbrook now.
Weirdly enough, it feels like Oklahoma City still won the offseason. They are the second-best team in the Western Conference right now and didn't have to get fancy to do so. The Houston Rockets self-sabotaged themselves by letting a key defensive piece of their team walk in Trevor Ariza and possibly replacing him with Carmelo Anthony who doesn't play much defense and will slow their fast-paced style of offense down at this point in his career. Although OKC just acquired Nerlens Noel, Schröder, and Cabarrot, those pickups plus getting Anthony off the books and signing Paul George to an unexpected long-term deal makes them a more dangerous and cohesive unit for the 2018-2019 season. Remember when the biggest weakness on this Thunder team was the bench? Well, if Alex Abrines and Jerami Grant develop into their potential this season, OKC's bench will be one of their strengths.
This is excellent writing and excellent analysis. I REALLY enjoyed the read.
