I got a Surface Pro 3 a few years ago and although it had its faults I have since upgraded through a Surface Pro 4 to my current Surface Pro 2017. It's doing pretty well, has an excellent battery life and best of all I can use a stylus on it for my digital art. Note though the Microsoft surface pen is pants, do not buy it!!!

BUSINESS EVENT – TALKING BUSINESS WITH VIETNAM
Her Excellency Mrs Ho Thi Kim Thoa, head of the Vietnamese delegation, addresses the audience at Leeds Castle
Kent has played host to a high-level trade delegation from Vietnam which met with local and national businesses in an effort to build business links.
Organised by Kent County Council and Locate in Kent, the county's investment promotion agency, with the assistance of UK Trade and Investment (UKTI), the UK-Vietnam Networking Event, held in the beautiful surroundings of the Maiden's Tower at Leeds Castle on Friday (November 9), was designed to highlight trade, investment and business opportunities between the two countries.
The Vietnamese delegation was led by Her Excellency Mrs Ho Thi Kim Thoa, vice-minister of Commerce and Industry, and included His Excellency Vu Quang Minh, Ambassador to the UK. They were joined by representatives of the Departments for Europe, Market Regulation, and International Cooperation, as well as a number of Vietnamese businesses.
The event was held in Kent because of Locate in Kent Deputy Chairman Warwick Morris's links with Vietnam. A former career diplomat, he was Britain's Ambassador there from 2000 to 2003. He is an adviser on Vietnam to Lloyd's insurance market.
The morning was opened by Alex King, Deputy Leader of Kent County Council, before vice-minister Thoa delivered the keynote address.
Delegates also heard from Piers Craven, UKTI Deputy Director for Trade and Investment in Vietnam, on why the country offered such exciting prospects for UK companies looking to trade there.
Following presentations from Vietnam's Foreign Investment Agency on the country's economic and investment policies and from Jack Howell, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential in Vietnam, there was a discussion on the area's key business sectors and the opportunities within them.
"I know from my three years spent in Vietnam and my continued work on UK-Vietnam relations, just how many excellent and varied opportunities there are for UK companies to do business and build important links with their counterparts there," said Warwick Morris after the event."
"The UK-Vietnam relationship is developing fast. Two-way trade and investment is increasing rapidly and I hope Friday's event helped businesses from both countries build a better understanding of the other's market, and that links between the two sides will grow as a result."
Alex King added: "That this important event aimed at building trade between the two countries was held in Kent speaks volumes for the county's vision and foresight in developing international relations and encouraging investment.
"While the focus of the event was on trade between both countries, the links and relationships established on the day will doubtless be rewarded in the future by Vietnamese investment here in Kent."

KENT SCIENCE PARK PLANNING TO BUILD ON SUCCESS IN 2013

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


A 'community hub' including a GP surgery, Post Office and library could become part of the revitalised Abbey Wood retail Park, the site's management has told Filtonvoice.
The community area would be housed above the soon-to-open Subway unit.
As Filtonvoice went to press, several of the major retailers had opened their doors.
The shopping park, which has undergone a £10 million refurbishment and extension, is now home to Costa Coffee and restaurant chains Frankie & Benny's and Nando's as well as Asda.
Sporting Pro, the new sports fascia owned by value fashion chain Matalan and backed by Intersport, will also open its first store in the South West at the park before Christmas.
The development of the park has included redesigning the car park and common areas to create a public space and developing buildings to provide new community space and leisure facilities.
These new shops and restaurants join existing retailers Matalan, Pets at Home, Brantano, Next Clearance and McDonalds.
Further stores that have signed up to the scheme, including a new Subway and other national chains still to be announced, which are expected to open to the public before spring next year.
Ian Cody, Asset Manager, Hermes Real Estate Investment Management Limited (HREIML), commented: "We're looking forward to working with the new and existing shops and restaurants to provide a new shopping and leisure destination for the local community.
"The area is rapidly developing with new homes, businesses, the University campus and public facilities so it's important to us that we provide a central location where people can get their groceries, take their pets to the vet, shop for clothes, homeware and come together to socialise.
"The park has the opportunity to be a local hub and we're keen to develop that further. The next step will be turning the community space into a doctor's surgery, post office and library or exercise space – a place that is beneficial to nearby businesses and local residents."
The redevelopment of the shopping park has included demolishing the former Woolworths and TJ Hughes stores to build nine new units ranging from 1,500 sqft – 45,251 sqft including the new ASDA store, we have also renewed the canopy and facades along the Northern Terrace, home to the existing retailers, further enhancing Abbey Wood as an attractive shopping destination. Artwork displaying a black and white scene of Filton Abbey Wood Station has also been installed to the rear of Costa and Nandos.
A new pedestrian foot bridge has been created to the rear of the new Frankie & Benny's to improve the access to the site from Filton Abbey Wood Station and the Ministry of Defence's Abbey Wood site. In addition, bike racks have been installed for cyclists using the surrounding foot and cycle paths that link the site to Bristol Parkway Stations, the Ministry of Defence and UWE's Frenchay campus.

With its impressive combination of ruggedness, performance, off-road capabilities, and utility, the 2018 Ford F-150 is an exceptional choice for the full-size pickup truck segment. With a bolder look and many new technologies for the new model-year, the F-150 raises the bar even higher. See how the F-150 favorably stacks up against the full-size pickup competition in this 2018 Ford F-150 vs 2018 Toyota Tundra comparison.
The Ford F-150 is the more affordable choice, with a base MSRP of $25,865 CAD, compared to $35,998 CAD for the Tundra. Given its high-quality design and a wide array of premium features and technologies, the F-150 offers tremendous value. This includes such things as the SYNC infotainment system, a rearview camera, configurable daytime running lamps, a moonroof, remote keyless entry, and the SOS Post-Crash Alert System.
What are the differences between the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra?
The Ford F-150 dominates the Toyota Tundra on the performance front. It offers six engine choices, while the Tundra only offers two. This includes the all-new Power Stroke Diesel. The Tundra doesn't offer a diesel engine. At the upper end of the output spectrum, the F-150's 3.5L EcoBoost High Output engine delivers 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. The highest output for the Tundra is with its 7.7L i-Force V8 engine, which generates 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque.
The higher engine output of the F-150 translates into stronger towing performance. The F-150 boasts a maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds (5,987 kg), compared to 10,200 pounds (4,627 kg) for the Tundra. Towing for the F-150 is also aided by such features as Trailer Sway Control, the Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, and Dynamic Hitch Assist. For your hauling needs, the F-150 has a maximum payload capacity of 3,270 pounds (1,483 kg), compared to 1,670 pounds (757 kg) for the Tundra.


Peter and his wife have noticed things have been missing from the house, so he confronts their nanny Willow Winters and asks her permission to search her bag. When he finds a necklace and his wife's engagement ring in the bag, he goes off the rails! But what worries him more is that his spouse isn't wearing her ring, so before he calls the cops on Willow, he phones his wife and questions her. He can tell just by his wife's voice that she's lying to him, but before he's even off the phone Willow's righting a wrong on her end by pulling out Peter's peter and puffing on it! Get fucked by your thieving nanny and we'll call it a truce!


USCIS issued a new policy memo on unlawful presence on May 10, 2018 related to stays in F, J, or M nonimmigrant status. Unlawful presence is defined as presence in the United States after the expiration of the authorized period of stay which can lead to a 3 or 10 year bar from receiving a visa or new admission into the U.S. after departure from the United States.
Under current policy there is a distinction between violating visa status and unlawful presence for individuals in F, J, or M status who violate their status because individuals are admitted for "duration of stay" or D/S with not specific end date so that unlawful presence does not accrue unless USCIS actually makes a formal finding of a violation of status or they are ordered removed, deported or excluded. Status violations may include unauthorized employment or participating in activities not authorized by the visa status.
the day after an immigration judge, or in certain cases, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), ordered the person excluded, deported, or removed (whether or not the decision was appealed).

Die Express, auch als East Indian Railway Company Nr. 21 bezeichnet, ist eine 1855 gebaute indische Breitspur-Dampflokomotive, die 1901 ausrangiert wurde und 2010 betriebsfähig aufgearbeitet wurde. Die Lokomotive dürfte geringfügig älter sein als die im Guinness-Buch der Rekorde aufgeführte, ebenfalls im regelmäßig Dienst stehende Dampflokomotive Fairy Queen.

Geschichte
Die Express wurde 1855 in England von Kitson, Thompson and Hewitson mit der Fabriknummer 480 gebaut und trug anfänglich noch keinen Namen. Sie erreichte im gleichen Jahr Kolkata, das damals noch als Calcutta bezeichnet wurde. Bei Ankunft erhielt sie die Betriebsnummer 21 von der Bahngesellschaft East Indian Railway Company (EIR), welche den Bahnbau von Kolkata in Richtung Delhi voran trieb. Die Lokomotive erhielt ca. 1895 den Namen Express. Die Lokomotive wurde anfänglich für leichte Schnellzüge in West Bengal genutzt, die zwischen Howrah und Raniganj verkehrten. Während dem Aufstand von 1857 wurde die Lokomotive vor Truppenzügen eingesetzt, bevor sie in den Baudienst in Bihar eingeteilt wurde, wo sie bis zu ihrer Ausrangierung im Jahre 1901 verblieb. Danach war sie bis zu ihrer Aufarbeitung auf einem Sockel vor der Lokwerkstatt Jamalpur, der ältesten richtigen Lokwerkstatt Indiens, die sich im Bundesstaat Bihar befindet, aufgestellt. Die Inschrift auf dem Sockel von Express bezeichnete die Lok als die erste, die zwischen Howrah und Raniganj verkehrte.

Die betriebsfähige Aufarbeitung wurde von der Lokomotivwerkstatt Perambur in der Region von Chennai vorgenommen, die bereits Erfahrung mit der beinahe baugleichen Fairy Queen gesammelt hatte. Seit 2010 wird die Express von der Southern Railway in der Region von Chennai ein bis zweimal im Jahr mit einem Sonderzug eingesetzt. In der Regel zieht die Lokomotive nur einen für diesen Zweck hergerichteten Wagen der Integral Coach Factory mit 60 Sitzplätzen. Der Wagens trägt einen Anstrich in den indischen Nationalfarben Safran, Weiß und Grün und an einem Wagenende ist in der Stirnfront eine große Panoramascheibe eingesetzt.

Technische Eigenschaften
Die Express ist ungefähr baugleich zur Fairy Queen. Die kohlengefeuerte Tenderlokomotive hat zwei schräg über dem Laufblech angeordnete Außenzylinder, die der Lokomotive eine Leistung von 130 PS geben. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit beträgt 40 km/h. An Betriebsstoffen werden 3 m³ Wasser in einem Unterflurtank mitgeführt, während der 2 t fassende Kohlebehälter hinter dem Fahrpersonal angeordnet ist. Ein Dach ohne Seiten- und Stirnwände schützt das Fahrpersonal dürftig vor der Witterung.

The TC centre delivery rakes stand out for producing exceptionally consistent windrows while working at extremely high rates, flexible work widths and maximum ha/h performance. The range lines up two models and work widths – 5.70 m and 10.00 m.
The 38T addition to the Swadro model range were developed in response to farmer demands for a trailed and well-proven single-rotor rake that offers the well-proven Swadro technology. The tandem axle on these models serves also as transport running gear.


Much of our understanding of urban politics and local governance is shaped by a focus on large central cities. Yet, many US residents don't live in these urban spaces. In fact, a report from the Brookings Institute, notes that the distribution of population in many MSAs is significantly dispersed between the central city and suburbs. And while research on local elections and political behavior is growing, literature on politics in suburban cities remains underdeveloped.
Inner-ring suburban areas- cities, CDPs and villages spatial closer to the central city and older in age than other suburbs- are in decline across the United States. However, the legal and political nature of these suburbs varies by state and even metropolitan region. Some of these suburbs are Census Designated Places that lack municipal incorporation and local political actors. Others are cities and villages that are not in the same state as their central city. Some are growth-restricted by outer ring communities while other have natural, environmental borders and space to expand and grow.
The canonical view of politics in all suburban cities, as told by J. Eric Oliver in their 2001 book Democracy in Suburbia, argues that the lack of diversity in the suburbs correlates with lower rates of civic participation, including attending local meetings and voter turnout. In a subsequent article, Oliver and Ha suggest that while suburban citizens appear to be disengaged from civic processes and issues, suburban voters are more engaged and educated about local politics than the average voter. However, while the article is based on survey data from 30 suburbs across the county, the authors do not differentiate between older and more diverse inner-ring and newer outer-ring suburbs. Additionally, while the minority population percentage is considered, the article does not discuss minority political representation.
Several inner-ring suburbs of Cleveland, OH are cities in which the population demographic trends indicate a majority of non-White residents. However, these cities have significantly different racial representation patterns and voter turnout. There is no discernible relationship, in these cities, between the percent of the population that that is African American, the voter turnout rate and the percent of the city leadership that is African American.
While this small sample of suburban cities shows little relationship between the voter turnout rates and the percent of population or the city leadership that is African American, there appear to be interesting spatial trends within each city. Cities may be diverse according to American Community Survey estimates, but they are rarely integrated. Based on the home addresses of the city council members, mayors, and city managers, local leaders in diverse cities often do not physically live in the areas of the city that are home to racial minorities and those living in poverty. Another valuable finding is that many local leaders, regardless of race, live in areas with higher median housing values.
Source: (ACS Table DP05, 2016 Estimates; Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, 2018). Data retrieved by the author, maps created by Dr. Mark Salling of the author's institution.
Inner-ring suburban cities are at a unique crossroads and can be great places to test theories of urban governance. Would a larger sample of majority-minority inner-ring suburban cities show a more significant connection between voter turnout rates, population demographics and minority leadership rates? Do the residential locations of city officials impact their policymaking practices? Future research on political trends in inner-ring cities can provide new insight to urban governance scholars, guide policy makers and cultivate citizenship and new forms of civic engagement.

The best team building game ever?
Drum roll please! Today is a very exciting day in the Fishtank. Today we officially launch our brand new, totally exclusive, not-available-elsewhere team building game It's a Knockout Around the World.
It's a Knockout has long been a favourite for company fun days and team building activities. That winning combination of outdoor fun, dressing up and healthy competition is hard to beat – but here at Clownfish we've taken things a step further for 2017.
The idea for a reimagined, globe-trotting version of the game came to us almost a year ago. We approached one of the UK's leading inflatables manufacturers and they were super-excited to work with us to make our vision a reality.
It has taken over 9 months of brainstorming, CAD-drawing, painting, stitching and testing, but It's a Knockout Around the World is finally ready for you to book.
If you're bored of the same old team building ideas, look no further. We know that there's nothing else like this available in the UK at the moment.
You and your competitors will make your way from London to Antarctica via a series of utterly ridiculous games – each one wilder and wackier than the one before.
Drive a black cab under Tower Bridge, defend Rome's ancient Colosseum, raid King Tut's tomb, join the South African gold rush, take a trip down under, explore the Amazon rainforest and fish the freezing waters of Antarctica as you make your way across seven continents in a day.
You'll need teamwork, communication, strategy and a sense of humour. Expect to get wet and foamy and finish thoroughly exhausted – but it will be totally worth it.
It's a Knockout, Around the World - Clownfish Events (2017-12-18)
This large format course is designed for twelve teams of twelve but can be extended for groups of up to 1000. You can choose either a six-game or eight-game option, both of which include:
- a range of silly costumes and props (this is It's a Knockout, after all);
- unlimited foamy bubbles (oh, the bubbles);
- a PA system with themed music (global beats… and possibly the 'Neighbours' theme tune);
- a professional compere (think of him as your tour guide);
- a squad of friendly Clownfish party people (like really excited holiday reps);
- and prizes for the winning team (more bubbles, trophies and short-lived glory).
We guarantee a day full of belly laughs and great memories for participants and spectators alike.
So are you ready to go around the world? Grab your passport, gather your team mates and get set for an adventure. You can find out more and book It's a Knockout Around the World for your next team building day here.

STATEMENT ON EARLY YEARS WORKFORCE STRATEGY
Friday, 3 March 2017 - 2:53pm
New strategy an 'important first step' towards providing support for children in most disadvantaged areas
Gareth Jenkins, Director of UK Poverty at Save the Children, said:
"We are delighted that the government has recognised the incredible impact an Early Years Teacher can have on children struggling with basic skills. If this strategy becomes a reality it could be life-changing for the 35,000 children in disadvantaged areas who, right now, have no access to a graduate teacher. It is in those areas children are most likely to fall behind and suffer a devastating impact on their life chances. Save the Children and thousands of supporters and parents have been calling for an Early Years Teacher in every nursery in disadvantaged areas. We estimate that will need £65 million in extra funding. This strategy represents an important first step towards that goal – and, if fulfilled, promises to provide essential support for children who need help the most."

Students normally take 2 seminars per quarter. Students entering with a B.A. will take a total of 16 seminars. Those who enter with an M.A. will take at least 9 seminars. Students with an M.A. in another field may take additional coursework, as necessary.
All students take English 200 (an introductory seminar) in the fall of their first year.
Graduate students can also take seminars outside the department, and work with faculty outside the department.
Advanced students also take seminars in our 400-series. This sequence of two-hour seminars center on pedagogy, publication and job market preparation. Students are required to take one, and are welcome to take more.
The Quarter System
UCR is on the quarter system: our academic calendar consists of three sessions (Fall, Winter, Spring). Each quarter consists of ten weeks of instruction, followed by one week of exams. The academic year usually starts at the end of September and runs through mid-June with breaks between the quarters.
Advising and Mentoring
Students work in close consultation with faculty in their areas of interest and with the Director of Graduate Studies. Working together, we map out students' seminar work, fulfillment of the department's language requirements, examinations, the development and completion of dissertations. We also support the development of work for publication, and professionalization.
In addition to the above, the department assigned each new student an out-of-field faculty advisor to support new students in their transition into our program.
At the end of every academic year, the Director of Graduate Students writes each student a letter marking that student's progress.
Examinations, Time-to-Degree
Qualifying Exam I is a portfolio-based exam taken by students entering with a BA. This exam is normally taken in the spring of one's second year. This is the equivalent of an MA exam, taken on the way to getting a Ph.D. The portfolio includes three (rewritten/revised) seminar essays and an introductory essay. This is the basis for a one-hour oral examination with two faculty.
Qualifying Exam II is also a portfolio-based exam. Students prepare this portfolio when all their coursework is completed. This portfolio is centered on an article, a dissertation prospectus, readings lists, and pedagogical materials. This exam culminates in an oral examination with three primary committee members and two additional faculty (including one from outside the department). On passing this exam, the student submits a dissertation prospectus to the designated PhD committee and advances to candidacy. At this point, one becomes eligible for ABD ("all-but-degree") dissertation fellowships. (See funding for more on this.)
Dissertation Defense, Time-to-Degree
Our department marks the completion of the dissertation with an oral defense. This is a public defense.
The standard/expected time to the Ph.D. degree is 18 quarters (6 years). We work with students to make sure they access TAships and/or fellowship support which carries them through to the completion of their dissertation.
All of our PhD students receive a commitment of five years of financial support, and are eligible to apply for support in their sixth year. Support, here, means tuition and a stipend (fellowship) and (more often) a teaching award (through which one receives a salary and tuition).
PhD students entering with a BA do not teach in their first year. PhD students entering with an MA and with teaching experience may be offered a mix of fellowship and TAship support in their first year.
Students admitted to our program are sometimes, on admission, awarded campus-wide fellowships, such as the Eugene Cota Robles Award, or the Provost's Award. These awards blend fellowship and TAship support, and may include additional funding.
Students may apply for a range campus-based and UC-system awards, including the Graduate Research Mentoring Fellowship and Dissertation Year Fellowships. For more details on graduate funding at UCR, see this page on our Graduate Division website.
Renewal of support from year to year requires making adequate progress in one's work (maitaining good standing through a full program of study) and, in the case of TAships, meeting established minimum requirements with regards one's work in the classroom.
For more information see "Funding Opportunities."
Teaching as a Graduate Student in English
Our graduate students work as Teaching Assistants (TAs) supporting a wide range of classes in the department (leading sections in large lectures, and collaborating with faculty in smaller courses for majors). Nearly all of our students teach for the University Writing Program at some point during their time at UCR; for many students, this is the mainstay of their TAship support. Students with interests in developing their work in writing instruction have a range of opportunities to do so through mentoring, administrative and leadership positions within UWP.
Students also work at TAs supporting Media and Cultural Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies (usually leading sections for large lectures), and sometimes win competitive TAships from the college.
Graduate student instructors are unionized, and represented by UAW 2685.
Students are expected to establish proficiency in one language by the time they reach the MA level, and to then either deepen their command with that language or develop proficiency in another before they pass Qualifying Exam II. Instead of working with a second language or acquiring advanced knowledge of the first, students may substitute coursework outside the department in a field related to their interests. More details about our language requirement can be found in the department protocols.
Current students should direct questions to the Director of Graduate Studies, Weihsin Gui, (weihsin.gui@ucr.edu) and/or the department's Graduate Student Advisor, Perla Fabelo (perla.fabelo@ucr.edu).
Prospective students are encouraged to reach out to the Director of Graduate Admissions, Jennifer Doyle (jennifer.doyle@ucr.edu).
