Our Nursing programme was new for 2019 entry and is a four-year course leading to an MSci Nursing degree and registration as an Adult nurse, with the possibility for some students to achieve a dual registration in Adult and Mental Health Nursing.
Nurses make healthcare. As healthcare is changing in the UK and around the world, the role of nurses is changing too. Nurses are occupying more and more senior positions across the healthcare sector – in management, policy-making, research and education. And, of course, nurses continue to be at the forefront of treating patients, in all sorts of settings; from working in ultra-modern super hospitals, to caring for the vulnerable at home, to providing critical support in refugee camps or countries affected by natural disasters.
Our aim is for Exeter Nurses to be outstanding in all areas of nursing, and healthcare more widely. The University of Exeter is committed to developing the future of nursing, and our radical vision is reflected in the structure and content of this programme.
The programme is structured around Exeter's unique 'six pillars' of nursing: patient and public involvement; fundamental essentials of nursing care; evidence for practice; no health without mental health; leadership and management of healthcare; global health. By the time you have completed your studies you will be able to take your place anywhere as a highly professional nurse capable of leading exceptional, comprehensive, person centred and evidence-based care in a true partnership with the people you are caring for.
Fifty percent of your time will be spent in clinical practice. The Academy of Nursing has four key NHS practice learning partners:
• Devon Partnership NHS Trust (Mental Health and Learning Disability Services)
• Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust (Acute, Community and Specialist Services)
• Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust (Acute, Community and Specialist Integrated Healthcare Services)
• Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (Acute and Community Services, Adult Social Care)
The three main hospitals sites that you may be placed at are: The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in Exeter, Torbay Hospital in Torquay and North Devon District Hospital in Barnstaple. You will also have a variety of Community and Primary Care placements throughout Devon. Additionally, there may be the opportunity for placements in the Private, Voluntary or Independent Healthcare sector.
Placements are organised in blocks that range from seven to eleven weeks. By the end of year one you will have had exposure to mental health and primary care settings, as well as two core practice placements in an acute hospital setting. By the end of year two you will have had exposure to mental health, learning disability, child, maternity and primary care settings, as well as three core practice placements in acute or community settings. You will also have the opportunity to undertake a four week elective practice learning experience, in the UK or abroad (Europe/ US/ Australia/ Central America). In years three and four you will complete two core placements each year that are relevant to your chosen programme pathway.
The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.
The first year of your MSci is an exciting introduction to the world of modern nursing. You will study and get hands-on experience across the Six Pillars of Nursing, developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours that will be the foundation for the rest of your working life as a registered nurse.

The roofing profession is a very important one. Without it, people wouldn't be able to install new roofs on their homes or have their roofs maintained and repaired. It's not a job that just anyone can or should do, but it might be a good profession for you. These are a few signs that you might make a good roofer. 1. You Aren't Afraid of Heights It's only natural to be at least somewhat afraid of heights.
Whether you want to advance your education for better career options or just for personal growth, there are many options out there. Of course, having enough time and the money to pursue education can be tricky. Here are some tips to help you in your endeavors. Look for an Adult Education Program for the Basics If you were never able to finish high school, you may be wanting to get your GED so that you can apply to post-secondary institutions.
A business information degree can provide access to high-paying jobs in fields such as information technology and computer networking. However, it can take as long as four years or more to earn a Bachelor's degree in the program. If you're trying to change careers or just anxious to get school over and done with, there are some things you can do to speed up the process. Here are three things that may help you graduate early.
School lunch rules have changed since you were a child, even for small kids like kindergarteners. Instead of packing things like a peanut butter sandwich and chips, many parents now have to follow various school rules on what's allowed in a child's lunch. If your first child is going off to kindergarten this year, be sure to ask the school administration about these items because if you don't, you could end up getting some rather stern rebukes from the school.
Universal preschool has been a topic of some debate in recent years. Some lawmakers and politicians running for office have called for preschool to be more available and affordable, while others oppose the idea of universal preschool. But what parents really need to know is whether or not their child really needs to go to preschool. Opinions vary, but there are a few reasons why preschool really could make a difference for your child.
If you are like most parents, you spend the majority of your child's life trying to keep them safe. Unfortunately, there are not too many times that feel more unsafe as when they get ready to drive. With car accidents being the leading cause of deaths for 15-19 year olds, you want to ensure that your child has the skills and abilities they need to undertake this momentous milestone. Not only will some of these skills help to prevent potential accidents once they get behind the wheel, but they will also help them to pass their drivers exam on their first try.
Raising a strong-willed child can be tiresome for parents, but it's important to understand that strong-willed kids have so many positive traits too. When the time comes to consider sending a child like this to preschool, you may have some reservations about it, and you may be worried that your child will act out too much while he or she is there. These are all common concerns of parents with strong-willed children; however, there are three things you should know as you look for the right preschool center for your child.

Smart Technology That Tracks People Through Walls Raises Privacy Concerns
TOPICS:Artificial IntelligenceCivil LibertiesPhillip Schneidersmart technologySurveillance
By Phillip Schneider
A team of researchers from MIT have developed and tested a technology called RF-Pose, which uses artificial intelligence to track and identify the postures and movements of individuals through solid walls.
By analyzing radio signals which are bounced off people's bodies, the technology can create stick figure interpretations of the subject with an accuracy of about 83%.
The developers say that RF-Pose could be used by healthcare practitioners to monitor diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson's. However, the technology has been a call to concern for privacy advocates.
If a normal camera is recording me, it means I am able to see the camera, too. [However,] If the camera can be hidden behind or even inside an object, I would never be able to know when I am being monitored. – Ginés Hidalgo, Research Associate at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University
The team claims that this problem is being addressed as they "have developed mechanisms to block the use of the technology, and it anonymizes and encrypts the data."
Other uses of the technology include search and rescue missions as well as video games, says the developers, who are set to present the technology at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) later this month in Salt Lake City, Utah.
RF-Pose technology can "see" computer-generated silhouettes of human bodies.
The team is also working on technology to create 3D interpretations which would have even greater accuracy and identify smaller movements, according to a statement released by MIT.
By using this combination of visual data and AI to see through walls, we can enable better scene understanding and smarter environments to live safer, more productive lives. – Mingmin Zhao, Lead Researcher
This type of technology is nothing new, as previous research dating back to 2013 reveals that MIT researchers have been attempting to create "X-ray vision" technology for at least five years. Although touting different benefits such as heat regulation and use on Hollywood sets, the goal of "seeing" through walls remains the same.
Law enforcement came under scrutiny in 2015 for using a similar device to see through walls, effectively bypassing Fourth Amendment protections to privacy.
They clearly are useful for law enforcement. But just because they are useful doesn't mean they should be unregulated by the law…If police wanted to enter my home to conduct search or make an arrest, it has always been clear they would have to get a warrant from a judge first because the home is the most private place we have. – Nathan Wessler, Staff Attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
The new device from MIT raises a separate issue as they are not currently attempting to sell the technology to police, but to private companies. However, as we saw in 2015, government always wants to get their hands on the most recent technology.
The Supreme Court issued a major statement on digital privacy in June, ruling that the government is required to obtain a warrant if they want to collect the location data from a customer's cellphone company, deciding that by allowing a private company access to personal data, an individual is not granting the government a right to view that data without a warrant.
By extension, it would imply that the government could not illegally obtain the information gathered by RF-Pose technology either. But the ruling could be overturned in the future as Justice Ginsburg, who voted 5-4 in favor of consumer privacy, is approaching 85 years of age.
We don't doubt for a moment that the rise of increasingly sophisticated and invasive search technologies will invite us to venture down this way again — and soon. – Judges Official Statement on Police Radars

By analyzing radio signals eh? Sounds like time to invest in that radio signal noised generator, which BTW is pretty cheap.

This is OLD technology! back in the late '80s and 90s, cops were using IR to "see" through walls and identify heat sources (bodies…marijuana lamps, etc.) Around 2005 they came up with portable "ground" penetrating radar (which this really sounds like). I used that extensively in my third novel in 2010. This is nothing new.

Cleansing in the Landscape of Literature: Reading Hu Lancheng's Remarks on Chinese Literary History
K. K. Leonard CHAN 陳國球 - Professor of Chinese Literature, Division of Humanities, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Room 312, Hall of Graduate Studies (HGS) See map
禊祓於文學風景中 ── 看胡蘭成的《中國文學史話》Hu Lancheng, renowned not only as a collaborator during the Sino-Japanese War, but also as the ex-husband of the immortal Eileen Chang, wrote an interesting book on Chinese literary history in 1977. His idiosyncrasy is shown by his prose style as well as his unique observations and interpretations on some major events and their driving forces in the course of the Chinese literary history. It appears that with the writing of Remarks on Chinese Literary History, Hu was in effect trying to cleanse himself of all the sins and guilt of his life journey. Please note this lecture will be in Chinese.

I need to know the specifications for every nut and bolt on the Jeep, because Jeep people ask those kinds of questions.
It isn't "T for Taylor", it is "O for Taylor"…it will be "P for Taylor Tomorrow".
The generator works better when the circuit breaker is turned on.
Burned 257+ Gallons of Fuel (haven't topped off the tank yet after getting home).
Thursday we left the RV park bright and early (about 6:30a)…morning rush hour through LA wasn't really that bad, although it still took us 2 hours to go 90 miles. Went straight up I5 this time and it was way easier than when we cut the corner on the Hollywood freeway – less lanes coming and going. Stayed on I5 until CA 152, and then cut across to the coast…it was a pretty cool windy road through the hills (a big change from the flat on I5). Ended up pulling into Jim & Carrie's in Woodside around 4:00p. Scott gets the dummy of the day award…the house batteries were not charging while we were driving down the road, so I started the generator, but the batteries still did not charge. Checked all the breakers, and they were fine, so I checked the genset and found another breaker on it so I toggled it (on then off again). So, we had no TV for the kids for most of the trip because of a lack of power. When we arrived and I started to troubleshoot (I plugged into the wall and it worked), then I realized that I screwed up when I reset the breaker.
Friday, Harper had to go to school for a 1/2 day and Melissa went with her. Once they got back, we went to this cool place that overlooked the ocean for lunch, and then went and ran on the beach where both Bailey and Taylor did face-plants while running in the water, so we went home. Got a babysitter and went out to dinner with just the grownups.
Plan for today is to leave around noon and try to get to the medford walmart before calling it a day.
Happy Birthday to me! Last day at the theme parks – 5 days in a row is about 3 too many. Spent the day at Disney's California Adventure. Took it kinda slow, wasn't too crowded. The first ride we tried to go on broke down (are we lucky or what), so we went to a couple of different shows – Playhouse Disney Live! and the Aladdin Musical. Playhouse Disney was really geared toward little kids. The Aladdin Musical was more toward adults (although Taylor liked it). It was a pretty cool production.
Had dinner at the ESPN Game Zone. Sat in the "TV Room" – had a wall of TVs with 12 different ESPN feeds going at the same time. With the main feed on the big screen. We had our own tv w/surround sound in our booth (u-shaped), and we could pick the feed we wanted to watch at the table. I got free dessert for my birthday, and everyone else at the table got free dessert because we had a little visitor (a cockroach walked by).
Start heading back tomorrow – spent part of tonight getting ready to go. Have the windows back in the jeep, dumped the holding tank, unhooked the water, cleaned things up. Should be able to get up in the morning, pull in the slide, unhook the power, hook up the jeep, and go!
Disneyland Day #2 today. We used our early entrance to the park today and promptly went to the all-new space mountain (well, Melissa and I did, Kim and Taylor went to Buzz lightyear). The new-improved Space Mountain was a bit of a disappointment – it really seems like they slowed down the ride quite a bit. After this, we went over to do the Indiana Jones ride. Melissa and I were almost all the way to the front when the ride broke down, so they gave us a fast pass to any ride that we wanted. Did more of the show type things today too. The buzz lightyear ride would take your picture, and then you could have it sent to an email address when you were done, so I've attached our pictures today…the one of kim and taylor is kinda bad, but it is important to check out who got the highest score of all!
Today was Disneyland (http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/parks/landing?name=DisneylandParkLandingPage)! Taylor didn't even make it through the first ride before puking…that would be the ride to the park. Just as I was about to turn into the parking lot, Taylor puked all over the back of the Jeep. So, we went back to the RV park, changed Taylor, cleaned up the Jeep and went back to disneyland. After the puking event, we left all of the windows off of the jeep to help air things out.
The crowds at Disneyland were on the light to moderate side. A few more people than the other parks although we still ddin't wait in line longer than 20 minutes or so (but we did fastpass Splash Mountain that had a 90 minute wait, and skipped the new space mountain because of a 60 minute wait). Taylor is big enough to go on almost all of the rides (including space mountain). We took her on splash mountain where she said "That was really fun" when she got off, however it was followed by a "Let's not do that one again". Took her on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and she didn't really like it, so I don't think Space Mountain is going to happen this time around.
When we picked up the tickets today, the lady noticed that it was my birthday in a couple of days, so she gave me an "it's my birthday" sticker. So, I had people saying happy birthday to me all day long. Tigger got a whole bunch of people to sing happy birthday to me, and I got free pudding w/lunch today – pretty cool.
Theme parks are starting to get old after 3 straight days – only 2 more to go. We can get an early entry to Disney tomorrow, so we'll use that and do space mountain and the other parts of the park we missed today.
Went to Knott's Berry Farm today (http://www.knotts.com). This was a little more intense than Legoland yesterday. Showed up right when the place opened (10a). There was nobody here either. Most of the rides were <15 minute waits, and some you could just walk straight on. Melissa's favorite ride was the Ghostrider – http://www.knotts.com/park/tour/gtown/grfacts.shtml. Basically a giant wooden roller-coaster (she went on it 3 times, 2x w/dad, 1x w/mom). Her second favorite was the Silver Bullet – a "hanging" coaster w/one loop, a corkscrew, and a whole bunch of inverted turns. Taylor liked the camp bus in camp Snoopy. Taylor couldn't go on any of the big roller coasters, so Kim and I split up w/the kids and swapped them in the afternoon.
It has been very hot the last few days (it is all over the news down here), and Today was no exception. So, around 4p or so we called it a day at the theme park and went back to eat dinner and hang by the pool. We all took showers tonight so we would be on time for Disneyland tomorrow.
Since driving for 3 days straight didn't seem like enough driving, we decided to take the Jeep to Carlsbad (just over an hour away) today and visit Legoland. We arrived right as they were opening the doors – it really wasn't that crowded anyhow. Most of the rides seemed to be suited for smaller kids, although Melissa did have fun. Taylor is 40.000001 inches tall with her new platform shoes on, which is good because 40" is one of the height boundaries that they use…she could go on all but two of the rides at the park. Lines were short, most were less than 15 minutes and the longest we ever waited was about 1/2 hr. After 6p, most of the lines were less than 5 minutes. In fact the long waits weren't because the lines were long, it was because the rides were slow, and it took a long time to cycle through. There were also a couple of rides where the kids got separated out into a lego play area while the parents stood in line – once the parents got to the front, the kids could come out of the pla area and get on the ride. They had some pretty cool lego creations – a mini New York City, a mini Washington DC, and of course a lego cow (which counts for our cow counter).
Other interesting things today – Kim threw away the mini-broom and dust pan on accident (and the garbage guys came and took it away). Looks like we are walking distance to the pond and angel stadium, so this would be a good place to stay if you want to watch baseball or hockey.
Made it today! After an exciting start to the day, we pulled into Orangeland RV park (http://www.orangeland.com) around 1:30p. Started off (at 6:30a) getting gas before we jumped onto the freeway. I picked the gas station with the least amount of manuvering room available. Of course, I pulled too far forward for the pump, so I had to loop around to a different pump. Once I started pumping the gas, I went back to check out the jeep and noticed that one of the hitch arms had not snapped into place, and a right triangle had been formed by the bars (one straight back from the hitch, the other locked in off at an angle). The way things looked, I didn't think the other arm would ever lock into place (would have needed a very sharp right turn). While contemplating this, the fueling tanker for the gas station pulls in and parks right in front of me…well, I check it out and it looks like I'll have enough room to past it, so I proceed to unhook the jeep while I'm fueling so that we can get it lined up better. As we are finsihing up with the jeep a second tanker pulls in and parks right next to the first – so now we are stuck (and we just got through hooking up the Jeep). Well, it turns out the guy just went into the store for a minute and we left shortly after. As I was getting on to the freeway, I get this bad feeling like I didn't hook up the safety chains for the jeep because I was distracted by the second tanker. I have Kim peek out the back, and sure enough, one of them is dragging on the ground. So I pull over just as we were getting on the freeway. Basically, we made 20 feet of progress toward our destination in 45 minutes. The next challenge came quite a bit later when we were going up the mountain just before LA. A cop comes zipping out in front of the traffic and swerved back and forth across all of the lanes, slowing everyone down. Turns out a truck had broken down and was blocking two of the lanes. Ended up cutting the corner by taking the Hollywood freeway – about 3/4 of the way through traffic started to back up pretty bad, and it continued to be nasty when we merged back onto I5. We lost about 1/2 hr due to traffic.
The brake is still firing too much for me, and it gives quite a tug when it does fire. I set it up w/o the floor mat this morning and it slid around way too much, so I put the mat back in. I'm starting to get quite a bit of brake dust on the front wheels as well. On the way back, I'm going to try and decrease the brake pressure to see if that helps out.
Once we got to the park, we got everything set up and then hung out by the pool for a couple of hours. This seems to be a pretty nice park – the facilities are great. There are citrus trees all over the place, and they will let you pick the fruit if you want. However, I did go take a shower after going in the pool and the hot water didn't work in the shower I picked :(. After I was done, I went and checked another and it seemed to be ok.They also have wireless internet here – $12 for a week. So now I'm doing these on a real computer.
Since we towed the Jeep all the way down here, we felt obligated to go drive it somewhere for dinner. Ended up going to a seafood place across the street (walking would have almost been faster). Had some macadamia nut crusted Halibut for dinner, and it was very good.
Got an early start this morning – on the road at 6:45a (15 minutes early!). The drive was pretty uneventful. Some wind near sacramento and a little traffic south of stockton. There was a nasty roll-over accident at the interchange of I580 and I5.
We are staying at Santa Nella RV Park (in Santa Nella). This is an interesting little town – it is a giant truck stop! Even the McDonald's has overnight truck parking. We unhooked the jeep and drove around the town a bit, and then got some ice cream for dessert.
The brake in the jeep worked a little better today after I made some adjusments, however it still seemed like it went off too frequently. Started off by recalibrating the unit, and then slowly backing to the least sensitive setting. It still fires on rough roads, particularly when coasting down hill. I think it may be because the suspension is so stiff, so everything is getting quite a wild ride back there. Tomorrow, I think i'm going to try and remove the flloor mat – it tends to slide around a bit on the floor, so that may be causing problems.
Well, here is the first entry on the big trip to Disneyland. The entries may be a bit more verbose this time – I'm using a Pocket PC with a keyboard.
Left from the house in Anacortes at 8:10a, only 10 minutes later than I wanted. Stopped to top of the gas right before we got onto I5. Traffic was fine until we got lynnwood, at which point I couldn't set the cruise control again until south of tacoma. After that, things were fine until Portland – a place where the freeway designer had his kid scribble on a piece of paper and then used it for the freeway plans. Once through the maze, it was pretty smooth driving. Quit at rivers west rv park in oregon at around 6p. Would have liked to make it to Medford, but it was a long day as it was.
We are towing the new Jeep. The set up works great when off the freeway, however I think the brake is firing too frequently while on the freeway. I think I'm going to recalibrate the brake tomorrow morning. If that doesn't fix the problem, then i'm going to adjust the braking sensitivity.
Another long day tomorrow – 500+ miles. Going to get up early and go while the kids are still sleeping. Also, this probably won't get out till tomorrow sometime because of poor reception.

FIFA Player Kurt0411 Banned From Electronic Arts Services
by Dante Uzel
in FIFA
FIFA is currently the number one game in the sports market. The game has a market dominance especially after passing its rivals Pro Evolution Soccer. In recent years FIFA became one of the most profitable games in the market. The reason for this was the FIFA Ultimate Team. Definitely one of the game modes that players spend a lot of money on. The game mode allows players to play multiplayer matches with their own teams. Of course, there are also streamers who play the game. Like in every game some streamers are more profane and outspoken than others. Kurt0411 was one of the biggest FIFA streamers until today. He is banned from every Electronic Arts games.
Kurt0411 Twitter
This is an interesting situation and things escalated over time. Last Year Kurt0411 was banned from online competitions in FIFA. The reason for this was his profane language. However, things continued to escalate between parties over the last few months with Kurt0411 insulting on EA employers and the community. Every FIFA player has said something negative about the game because sometimes, there are those moments where everything seems to go wrong. But of course, when you do this behavior while you are streaming, Electronic Arts starts to take action against you.
Incredibly stuff honestly…banning me from their esports events wasn't enough, trying to get my Twitch and YouTube channels banned wasn't enough, they now shut down my 10 year plus Fut Founder account. No words pic.twitter.com/EqAVWprTI5
— Kurt (@Kurt0411Fifa) February 24, 2020
Kurt0411's account was banned and this means that he will be banned from every Electronic Arts game, for example, Apex Legends. Electronic Arts issued a statement regarding the situation and Kurt 0411 answered with a video.

Vano Shlamov, AFP | Pro-government presidential candidate Salome Zurabishvili poses outside her campaign office ahead of October 28 elections in Tbilisi on October 24, 2018.
"I always thought that one day I will help in some function, in some capacity this country to move to democracy," Zurabishvili told AFP in an interview conducted in English.
From that position former president Mikheil Saakashvili appointed her foreign minister after approving the move with then French leader Jacques Chirac.


San Francisco: Netflix has reportedly withdrawn support for Apple's AirPlay which allowed people watching Netflix on their iPads and iPhones instantly play the content on their TVs.
That means Apple TV set-top box users can no longer cast Netflix.
The matter came into light after some iPhone and iPad users complained of being unable to use AirPlay as Netflix has updated its support website to a state that its iOS apps no longer support Apple's wireless streaming feature.
Notably, Apple last month announced Apple TV+, a subscription-based streaming service scheduled to launch this autumn.

Another bank, Credit Agricole, settles up for money laundering, with tab under a billion. Standard Chartered under a new investigation. Toshiba identifies 30 more senior staff who participated in the accounting schemes.
10/1 – Accounting Today – Toshiba Says 30 More Executives Names in Accounting Scandal – In addition to three former presidents resigning, an additional 30 executives have been identified in as players in the Toshiba book cooking scandal. None of the 30 will be fired.
Current over statement of income is estimated at US$1.3B in the article with a US$6B loss in market value.
10/20 – Wall Street Journal – Credit Agricole to Pay $787 Million in U.S. Sanctions Case and IRS – Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank Admits to Sanction Violations, Agrees to Forfeit $312 Million.
Another bank had institutional policies to willfully circumvent US rules on money laundering for banks and individuals in sanctioned countries. NY DFS says total laundered amount was $32B. The bank admitted to one felony charge in a deferred prosecution agreement.
Basically, that would be the typical list when there are major banking fiascos. Missing from that list would be UBS, RBS, and Duetsche Bank. I've not been keeping a spreadsheet of the laundering settlements, so don't have a tally of the total players or dollar amount of fines.
WSJ article says there will be no individual prosecutions. Article hints that is because all the staff have left the bank. I don't quite understand why no longer being employed by the bank would provide exemption from prosecution. Sometimes I'm a little dense – can anyone explain to me what I am missing?
9/21 – WSJ Market Watch – Standard Chartered faces new scrutiny over Iran business ties – DoJ, FRB, NY DFS and NY AG are all looking at Standard Chartered again over concern they may have continued doing business with banned customers in Iran after getting in trouble in 2007 and after agreeing to obey the law.

Is getting a chess coach the optimal way to learn besides playing?
My opinion is that getting a coach is a very good method to improve your game.
Ideal would be to have a coach in real life, but we know that can be difficult.
ICC offers a great number of strong master who can coach you online.


This Limestone tiled floor was around 50m2 and installed in Kitchen and Hallway in a new build style property in Newmarket, 'The Home of Horse Racing'. The property was only 3 years old and the owner was having difficulty keeping the floor clean.
The first step was to scrub the Limestone tiles with a rotary machine fitted with a black scrubbing pad and a solution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean which is a strong multi-purpose alkaline cleaning product designed for use on natural stone. This process ended up taking all day and requiring a full five litre bottle of Pro-Clean to get the floor how we wanted it, It was after a reasonably large area and we had to repeat the process in some areas.
The floor was then rinsed thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaning products and we then we switched on the under floor heating and left for the day so the floor could dry overnight.
When we came back the next day the floor was nice and dry and we set about sealing the Limestone tile with Tile Doctor Colour Grow which provides stain resistance and enhances the natural colour within stone, three coats were sufficient but again due to the size of floor we did use a full five litre bottle.
The floor now looks splendid and the sealer has made it a lot easier to maintain, certainly the customer was pleased and left the following comment on our feedback system.
This ceramic tiled floor had only been laid in a Kitchen floor in Newmarket just over a year ago. The tiles from the Topps Tiles Padova range did not have a glazed finish to them and therefore the owner was having difficulty keeping them clean on a daily basis. I did a quick search on the Internet and it seems this range of tiles are difficult to remove grout smears from once laid.
The floor was cleaned using Tile Doctor Pro-clean diluted with 3 parts water to effectively clean the floor and grout removing the ingrained dirt that had accumulated. The tiled floor was 14m2 and required 2 litres of Pro-Clean to get it clean. The photo below clearly demonstrates the improvement in the two tiles which were cleaned before moving onto the rest.
We washed the floor down with water to neutralise it and then left to dry for a few hours before sealing it with two coats of Seal & Go which on this size of floor required one litre of product. Normally ceramic tiles won't take a sealer due to the glazing however in this case a sealer will be necessary to protect the floor.


A fairly wet spring has meant fewer wildfires than normal on the Prairies.
Saskatchewan has had about 65 wildfires, well below the province's five-year average of about 120 by this time.
Alberta is reporting about 220 wildfires, compared to more than 500 by this time last year.
"This spring, we've received a lot more rain, we've had a lot more moisture — so it's been a lot wetter of a spring," wildfire information officer Travis Fairweather said from inside Alberta's wildfire command centre in Edmonton.
Fire fuels such as grasses, shrubs and twigs aren't as dry and don't catch fire as easily.
Most of the wildfires so far have required an immediate response from either crews on the ground or aircraft dropping water, but were easily extinguished.
It's been a relief for fire crews after last year's devastating Fort McMurray wildfires that forced 88,000 people to evacuate the region and burned 1,600 buildings, as well as Saskatchewan's 2015 fire season that triggered the province's largest evacuation in its history.
But fire officials aren't taking anything for granted.
Things could turn quickly come summer.
The forecasting company Accuweather's long-range forecast for Canada's summer predicts July and August will be hot and dry in Western Canada, elevating the fire risk, particularly in northern parts of Alberta and British Columbia.
CBC's senior meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe suggests it's a bit too early to nail down such a definitive long-range forecast for the Prairies.
Saskatchewan's wildfire management director, Steve Roberts, isn't alarmed by the forecast and expects it to be just slightly warmer and drier. He notes that his department will be ready for anything.
"We prepare aircraft, our crews, our equipment so that we're prepared to tackle whatever fire season is put in front of us, whether it's few fires, lots of fires, big fires, small fires," Roberts said from the Prince Albert wildfire centre.
In Alberta, fire behaviour analysts and fuel crews — people who test conditions in the ground and trees — draft a long-term outlook, but officials make decisions day-to-day.
At least half of all wildfires, and nearly all of the ones that spark early in the season, are started by people.
Don't start campfires when it's too windy, hot or dry.
Don't leave campfires unattended, and always douse them properly.
Prune trees and vegetation to create a safety zone around your house.
Install fire-resistant shingles on your roof.
Use off-road vehicles cautiously in dry grass.
Learn how to do a safe burn before lighting grass, stubble or debris.

Q: Как и где можно уместить 32 битовых флага? Насколько я понимаю, unsigned char может вместить в себя 8 флагов, а что можно придумать, чтобы уместить 32 флага?

A: Раз у вас С++, используйте тип из стандартной библиотеки, который по сути для этого и предназначен — bitset<>, который обеспечивает именно хранение набора битовых флагов.
Тридцать два? Без проблем: bitset<32> bs...
Установить k-й бит? bs.set(k)
Получить k-й бит? bs[k]
Работать с конкретными целочисленными типами можно, конечно... Но это подход из С, а не С++.

A: Как я бы сделал на твоем месте. Cоздал объект std::bitset с размером 32 бита, чтобы хранить 32 флага:
std::bitset<32> flags;

Далее возьми переменные типа unsigned int или unsigned long, они обычно весят 32 бита:
unsigned int flags = 0;
// установить флаг номер 0
flags |= 1 << 0;
// сбросить флаг номер 5
flags &= ~(1 << 5);

Если это не поможет, возьми классы или структуры с битовыми полями, чтобы уместить более 32 флага в одной переменной:
struct Flags{
  unsigned int flag0 : 1;
  unsigned int flag1 : 1;
  unsigned int flag2 : 1;
  ...
  unsigned int flag31 : 1;

It is indeed important for your restaurant business to build up a strong mobile presence. Starbucks, which is supposed to be trendsetter in the food and beverage industry, as per a report conducts 16 % of their monetary transactions through just the mobile apps. However, it is not easy to merely sign up with a mobile app development company, without any basis of publishing facts. It is for you only to decide whether your business is worthy of an investment on the mobile apps.
There are thousands of mobile apps that are developed on the basis of continuous research. It is not always true that the most researched topic enables to build the winning app. There are many unique and innovative ideas that are getting developed into apps such as affordable shopping apps, photo editing apps or apps that help restaurants to cut wastage of food.
Too Good to Go is a smart response to the tonnes food that gets wasted by the UK restaurants. It is going to change the entire mindset on handling the wastage of food by these restaurants. UK happens to be the biggest waster of food in the whole of Europe. Food wastage causes 12.5 billion pounds annually and whole lot of negative environmental impacts. So, we see that there are people who goes hungry on one side and on the other side of the band is a tremendous wastage of food.
The users of the Android and iOS based apps have the option of selecting the food, in the closing hours of when the restaurant closes, just after lunch or dinner, through this restaurant app. The users might not have a choice of precise menu, but intends to offer a rough picture of what is available. The payment is accepted through the mobile app. The food is served in a biodegradable sugarcane box, at a particular time. The concept is more like get-what-you-are-given, so there is no chance of offering usual dishes at lower prices.
The obvious advantage of the restaurant mobile apps lies in the fact that the restaurants are able to reduce the wastage of food and the cost associated for the same. In fact, they are able to get additional customer base, who in turn are satisfied with a hearty meal.
There were many restaurants who signed up for the project, even though the people were skeptical, at the beginning. Too Good to Go is originally a Danish concept. Wilson and Crummie simply got attracted to the whole idea and implemented it in the form a mobile app. Denmark might be an easier market to handle the epidemic of food wastage, but they were doubtful on whether this important issue can be handled properly in UK. The profits earned are solely not utilized, for earning big profits, on the other hand the funds are diverted back to the reinvestment in the project.
The biggest opposition was from the restaurant themselves who expected that there will be a reduction in their regular customer base.
The venture on restaurant apps is trying hard to include the bigger players in the restaurant businesses and wants a positive effect in order to make an attempt to eradicate the issue of food wastage. The primary objective of developing this restaurant app is to educate and inform the general public, about the burning issue on food wastage.
The war that is waged not only the restaurants, but salad bars, bakeries and juice bars also took part in this revolutionary concept.


James Patrick joined the Stars coaching staff on July 24, 2013.
Patrick, a 21-year NHL defenseman, most recently served as an assistant coach for the Buffalo Sabres over the past seven seasons, working under coach Lindy Ruff from 2006-13, as well as Ron Rolston to finish out last season. Prior to becoming an assistant coach in Buffalo, he began the 2005-06 season as their skill development coach before finishing his playing career for Frankfurt of the German Elite League.
Patrick posted seven consecutive seasons (1985-92) of 40 or more points with the New York Rangers, including a career-high of 71 (14 goals and 57 assists) in 1991-92. The 71 points and 57 assists were career-bests for Patrick. He scored a career-high 17 goals in 1987-88. Patrick played six seasons in Buffalo after signing as an unrestricted free agent on June 7, 1998. He scored 74 points (23 goals and 51 assists) in 345 regular season games, and added 5 points (1 goal and 4 assists) in 38 playoff games. Patrick's career plus/minus total of plus-104 reflects his steady defensive play. He finished as a minus in just one of six seasons in Buffalo, and in just six of his 21 seasons.
Patrick is also a veteran of international competition, having won championships for Team Canada at the 1982 World Junior Championships and 1987 Canada Cup tournaments, and bronze with the 1983 World Junior team. He also represented Canada in the 1984 Winter Olympics, and the 1983, 1987, 1998 and 2002 World Championships.

"We urge states to take full advantage of the robust public and private sector resources available to them to ensure that their network infrastructure is secure from attack. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security stands ready to provide cybersecurity assistance to those states that choose to request it," wrote Sens. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Reps. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Johnson added that seeking help from DHS does not constitute a Federal directive over state systems.
"By its nature, the assistance DHS provides is upon request, and voluntary for the recipient," Johnson said.

Q: Expressjs Adding :id param to url broke static content I return same view for both /new and edit/:id
however when it is rendered styles and js files are not found for
edit/:id
Why is this happening for Expressjs. It is supposed to always be relative to public folder, isn't it?
Routes:
router.get('/new', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('index', { title: 'New', id: 0 });
});

router.get('/edit/:id', function(req, res, next) {
  res.render('index', { title: 'Edit', id: req.params.id });
});

On the view i have my styles like this
<script src="javascripts/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
<link href="bootstrap-3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

All content is inside public folder

A: You need absolute urls for your scripts and links (start with a slash).
<script src="/javascripts/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
<link href="/bootstrap-3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Your browser sees a relative path, so it is requesting the content at
edit/javascript/jquery-3.1.0.min.js which doesn't exist.


You are here: Home / Announcements / 1 Million Benefit Lipsticks if you eat 1 million Cadburys Flake Bars!
1 Million Benefit Lipsticks if you eat 1 million Cadburys Flake Bars!
Needless to say, when I spotted this giveaway whilst doing my weekly shop, I didn't need to be asked twice.
Between 01st March and 25th April 2010 you'll have the chance to win one of one hundred luxury Benefit lipsticks or lip glosses every day when you buy a standard single Flake.
Just enter the last four digits of the barcode at flake.co.uk (you'll register during your first visit). If you're a winner you will be notified within 48 hours and you can logon to claim your lipstick .
Flake was 2 for £1 or something….so I bought 2!
I used to like Flake and I don't have anything against it, although its not my favourite – its so stiff and uncreamy. I prefer Fruit and Nut myself (as long as there is fruit and nut in it) and Buttons.
By my reckoning, 2 chances in 1 million is pretty damn good. So did I win a Benefit Lipstick or Lipgloss?….
I just want you to know I had little satisfaction eating the flake bars.
No I didn't win. I've given up now anyway, can't be bothered eating my way through a flake bar every lunch time in the hope that I might win a lipstick but if you have won one…let me know!
They don't really advertise chocolate on TV anymore, do they? Now its all Pro-biotic yoghurts and muesli….boringgggg!
I don't need any additional encouragement to eat chocolate, but it sounds like a great deal!
I've won one! Flakes are one of my favourite choccies so it wasn't *much* of a chore to buy it 😉 I've bought three since the promotion started so one out of three isn't bad.
Ahhhhhh no I haven't won one yet!
Send me a Cadbury Flake! It looks yummy and I want to try it.
I bought 2 flakes for 1 euro, and I won 2 lipsticks! Can't wait for them to arrive.
My sister entered too, hoping to get a lipgloss.
I suppose I'm just lucky.
Also, the last four digits of the barcodes on both flakes was the same, so I guess I can enter again with the same wrapper.
Update: Me and my sister between us have won about 9 so far.

Today we'll continue exploring voicings... but going back to the basics! Because it's really nice to talk about open, closed, added-tone and what-not chords but if you don't know which notes you can or cannot use, then you might end up a bit frustrated.
The first rule I want to tell you about concerns the use of the third and seventh of a chord and, hence. of a voicing. In the previous articles I've mentioned the harmonic coloration of the voicings, so I think it's important to go back to this notion and recall what makes the nature of a chord.
In article 4 you saw that the nature of chords (and voicings, which is what interests us here) changes depending on the third, in the case of a triad, and the seventh, in the case of four-note chords. It's these degrees of a chord that define whether the chord is major, minor, major seventh, minor seventh, or dominant seventh. So it's the presence of the third and, eventually, the seventh that will be determinant characterizing your voicing and, hence, its quality and harmonic role.
This obviously also applies to the chords and voicings whose third or seventh is replaced by another degree. Consequently, in a sixth chord, it's the third and the sixth that will define its nature, whereas in a sus4 chord it will be the fourth and the seventh.
Notes you can do without
This might seem obvious to those of you who realized by yourselves that chords are defined by their thirds and sevenths or their eventual replacements. But it if I'm telling you about it today it's not to remind you of this obviousness, but rather to call your attention to the mirror effect that results from this. Indeed, the importance of these two degrees allows you to do without others in very specific cases.
Like the root and the fifth. Especially the latter, since it is already very present as an overtone of the fundamental. As for suppressing the root note, you will need to pay special attention to the harmonic context so that it is well defined. In this regard, I invite you to reread articles 17 to 21 on modulations.
With the examples below it will be very easy for you to understand that, while discarding the fifth is relatively imperceptible to the ear, getting rid of the root note is a bit more problematic since it gives a much more palpable sensation of changing chords (which is quite normal because you end up with a minor chord based on the third; E minor in our example):

Notes you should avoid
While you can do away with some basic notes of a chord, there are some others you should try to avoid when adding notes. The fourth, for instance, has a natural tendency to weaken the tonic. So you should try to avoid using it on tonic chords, and reserve it for the sus4 dominant chord. A chord which, by the way, ought to be used knowing exactly what you are doing because it shatters the usual tension and resolution formula (refer to article 29).
You should also avoid the leading-tone in the II-7 substitute subdominant chord, because it will create a tritone with the subdominant (the fourth degree of the scale).
