We do encourage students to walk to school if they live locally, when doing so in the winter months it is sensible to wear bright reflective clothing so that traffic can easily see you. Use crossings where available and where possible try to walk with friends to and from school.
Cycling to school is also another recommended method of transport and we insist that students doing so wear helmets. During winter months lights and reflective pads should be used on the bicycle and the rider should also wear bright reflective outer clothing.
A number of cycle racks are available within the school grounds and students are reminded that they park their cycles at their own risk and should lock the cycles to the rack at all times.
Bicycles must not be ridden on within the school grounds nor on pavements near the school.
Information about cycling within Greater Manchester is available here.
Crompton House School is well served by bus operators. Please note – from time to time bus route changes/timings occur and when that happens we send out notifications via Parent Mail. Whilst every endevour is made to ensure the information presented here is correct. All transport timetables are under the control of the respective bus companies and as such you should verify the latest information from them directly.
For those coming from further afield and served by the Metrolink Tram system. There is a tram stop called Shaw & Crompton which is located conveniently close to the school. The stop is within easy walking distance (allow 10-15 minutes) but there is also a 408 bus which passes the Tram stop and can be used for the remaining journey to school.
We try to discourage students being dropped off by car due to excessive traffic build-up outside the school entrance, which not only causes a disruption to our neighbours but also increases the hazard to those students walking and cycling into school and trying to cross the road safely.
If it is unavoidable then please drive to a spot some distance away from the school entrance and with due respect for the local residents find a safe spot to stop and safely allow your child to exit/enter the vehicle and allow them to walk the remaining distance.
Parking for drop off purposes within school grounds is strictly forbidden with the exception of any child who requires this access due to a disability or other previously agreed concession.
Be aware that traffic enforcement is in place in the form of yellow lines and other restrictive conditions and these must be observed at all times. Traffic enforcement vehicles regularly patrol the roads around the school.


The Board of Trustees has grown out of the original restoration campaign. Some members have been involved since then. Sefton Park Palm House Preservation Trust works closely with Liverpool City Council, to understand and develop opportunities that will enhance a visitor's experience of both Sefton Park Palm House and Sefton Park.
All Trustees live locally and, as well as their passion and commitment for Sefton Park Palm House, they have a broad range of skills and experience to inform their governance.
The Trust also has a small number of Advisors, who supplement expertise in various areas.


Wouldn't do it... You are better off renting a car, getting Mexican insurance and splitting the cost. If you happen to get stopped at the boarder without proof of ownership, they WILL assume it is stolen and WILL impound it. you probably won't get stopped, but it would turn your trip ugly real quick if you did.
I thought you can't take a rented car into MX?
You can, with the right paperwork - and few places (Dollar, Enterprise, the one listed here on this site, adobe) will rent for cross border travel as part of company policy.


This research based seminar aims to take the fear out of having a period with an in depth exploration of the reproductive and endocrine systems, focusing on the unique features of adolescent menstruation.
Students learn to recognise the signs and symptoms of their menstrual cycle, understand what is considered 'typical', and learn help seeking behaviours as well as diet/lifestyle strategies to navigate health challenges.
This presentation addresses some of the top concerns of female teens as reported by the Mission Australia youth survey, including the science of stress management for better hormone balance, and strategies for better self-confidence and body concept, specifically when it comes to navigating the physical and emotional changes of puberty.
Know your body and how to listen to the signs and symptoms of the period cycle!
This 1.5 hour presentation addresses the most frequently asked questions girls have about the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. Negative stigmas and fears surrounding menstrual health are addressed as students are encouraged to be in tune with and listen to the signs/symptoms of their body.
The menstrual cycle is broken down into 4 phases and students learn about how they may feel different physically, mentally, emotionally and behaviorally in each stage. Students also learn about conception and the times the female body is able to become pregnant and the times it is not.
Be aware of common period concerns and be equipped with tools for lifelong health!
In this 1.5 hour presentation, students will learn about the role of hormones in the menstrual cycle and the effect of hormonal imbalances. The presentation explores irregularities that are common among adolescents, such as heavy periods, PMS, missing periods, acne and period pain. Students get the opportunity to hear stories from real women's experiences with reproductive health conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis and infertility. Students learn help seeking behaviours and are equipped with diet/lifestyle strategies to navigate present and future health challenges, including the science of stress management for more balanced hormones, and how to be informed consumers.
Bright Girl Health has partnered up with ChooseREAL to offer schools menstrual health education with Bright Girl Health and self esteem workshops with ChooseREAL.
These combined sessions are done as a half day experience.
ChooseREAL workshops empower girls to powerfully shift their perception of their selves and others, giving them self-confidence, alleviating low self-esteem and it's damaging impacts.
The workshop is designed to help girls create immediate and lasting breakthroughs in limiting beliefs, negative self-talk and mindsets.
Girls are engaged in interactive activities and discussions, equipping them with the tools to continue making impacts in their lives and the lives of those around them.
Combine 2 stages together in the same presentation to suit the needs of your school.
Send us a message to chat about how we can best cater for your students!
WHAT IS BRIGHT GIRL HEALTH?
"I'd thoroughly recommend it to anybody. Girls from year 8, 9 and 10 who were a challenging group were absolutely enthralled and engaged"
This was a great seminar enjoyed by many of our students. They really felt empowered after the discussion.
It was highly engaging and the information was presented to students in a safe and inclusive environment.
"Bright Girl Health is an extensively researched program perfect for high school students. I love that young girls can learn more about the function of their bodies, and be equipped with the tools to bring about positive change.
The girls said they felt safe to talk to you and like the environment was safe to share with the other people.
She certainly had the girls laughing within the first few minutes and that made it a really enjoyable presentation.
This is a most worthwhile program that will be significant in the lives of the girls who interact with it.
Understanding their body and seeing that they did not need to suffer in silence; that they could broach this subject in a safe environment and would not be laughed at.
Bright Girl Health equips girls with strategies to navigate all areas of their health, helping them to work with the physical, mental and emotional changes of the menstrual cycle, rather than against them.
Menstrual health is not just about how to use a pad or tampon.

November | 2016 | NICE!
Site documenting the BMW presence at the Paris Motorshow. In depth 360 degree photospheres showing the range of BMW cars – love that you can jump inside the cars and see the cockpit view. Sweet transitions when looking at the details of the cars / model detail, nice way of mapping the view of the motorshow and highlight additional information. Love the 3D map of the exhibition space that allows you to jump around, loads of details and thoroughly polished experience.
Site of London based photographer Liam Ricketts. Interesting wavy fabric based header image, revealing an elegant site to explore the photographer's folio. Love the rollover effect which isolates particular projects, but love the horizontal scrolling mechanic even more. Nicely implemented – with offset grid of images and supporting text, like how once scrolled to end the next suggestion is suggested. Refreshing, clean and modern photographers site – nice.
Created by Jack Wild (@isjackwild).
Site of French artist Florian Monfrini. Calm and considered layout, love the floaty images and text elements that smoothly scroll down the page. Love the simplicity and elegance of the design, that lets the art pop off the page. Lots of nice subtle interaction details that elevate the simplicity of the layout.
Created by Léo Chéron (@mrgnou) and Martin Silvestre (@martinsilvestre).
Site documenting some of Citroen's most iconic cars. Love the immersive app like approach – with an exploratory interface that encourages deep dives into the content. Lots of great content, sounds of the cars starting, brochures, posters, photography and specs. Nice use of 360 renders – from both the exterior and the interior. A lovingly crafted and in-depth experience that looks great and works well.
Site for freelance Art Director & Designer. Simple type based home screen, on rollover large imagery represents the project. Slide in panel appears on click reveals nice layouts and designs for each project. Nice body of work, wrapped up in a slick and nicely designed site.
Love this companion site for Bastille's new album 'Wild World'. In a collaboration with Spotify this site maps the cities streaming the album and creates 3D 'storms' that represent the activity in those cities. Beautifully executed and playful site, that simply shows a world of activity and movement. Nice idea and fun to play with.


We all love the myth of the 'American Dream' – it's comforting in a world that surrounds us continually with risk and inequity. The mythology holds that everyone has an equal shot at wealth and a satisfying professional life – all it takes is hard work, a winning disposition, and determination. Schools are said to give each child the tools needed to achieve this American Dream.
1. Change the funding structure of schools so that local real estate taxes aren't at the heart of the formula.
2. Make the teaching profession attractive to top college students who might otherwise be looking at careers in law, medicine, engineering, business.
3. Raise standards for admission to teacher-education institutions.
Here in Maine we also have a problem all our own … we have a state-wide grossly unequal funding formula which results in certain high-poverty towns receiving minimal state subsidy while other high-poverty towns receive much more assistance.
I'd like for us to join the ranks of nations who have made educational equity a national priority not only in word but also in deed. If you agree, spread the word.
The way to get the funding formulas changed is by contacting your legislators and letting them know you don't accept the status quo. While you're at it, contact your school boards and the media. Let it be known that you want the state formula changed and you want conditions in your district's schools to attract top educators.


The governors of Britain, Jhelom, Minoc, Moonglow, New Magincia, Skara Brae, Trinsic, Vesper and Yew have come together in conjunction with the High Council of Britannia present the annual Trans-Britannia Derby. This horse race spans the Britannian continent, following the main roads through the kingdom's major cities.
All participants must preregister at least 5 minutes before the event.
All participants must ride a LIVE horse (NO ethereals).
All participants must remain on the road at all times, no cutting through the woodlands.
All use of teleport, recall, sacred journey, gate travel, moongates and bracelets of binding are prohibited.
ANYONE FOUND VIOLATING THE RULES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
Starting from the mainland dock in Skara Brae, the race will follow the road north to the Yew Crossroad, and then east through the Crossroads of Britannia. Riders will then continue east across the Bloody Plains, south around the Mountains of Avarice, then north to Minoc and across the bridge north of The Stretched Hide to go around the southern face of Mt. Kendall and across the bridge towards Vesper. After following the road, riders will then pass over the northern bridge of Vesper, head around The Mint of vesper and across the western bridge and then follow the road back to the Crossroads of Britannia. Once there, they will head south through the Bog of Desolation and into Britain. Once in Britain, riders will pass around the south of the Cavalry Guild, head over the Virtue's Pass Bridge, pass through the Poor Gate near Castle Britannia, head south past the First Bank of Britannia and then out of the city over the Gung Farmer's Bridge. Riders will then race along the southern road through Spiritwood and through the West Trinsic Gate. Once in Trinsic, riders will head east to the intersection just past the Keg and Anchor where they will head south then immediately east towards the Rusty Anchor. Riders will then dash to the finish line at the Trinsic Docks.

Welcome All Wonders is a revealing look at what it is like to grow up in the embrace of one of the most powerful religions in America and what it is like to leave it. It is the intriguing story of Redford's development as a composer, and how music and art spoke to one man's heart and changed him forever.
"The phone rings. My agent is on the line with word of a new job opportunity. Could I send a tape with samples of my work for the producers and director to listen to? The cues should be somehow related to their picture. It's a comedy about a bunch of misfit kids who find self-esteem; or a drama about a woman in jeopardy; or a gritty parable of street life; or a story about someone with a devastating disease. Whatever the subject is, it sounds awfully familiar – but it's just different enough that none of the music I've already written for another picture quite seems to fit. "When do they need it?" I ask.
"Yesterday!" my agent laughs, a tad too heartily.
"I'll get on it right away." . . .
I make . . . the tape and rush to the post office to mail it just before closing time. . . .


Cool! Get a free sample of Uncle Earl's brand Hand Healing soap!
To get one, go here and fill out the form.
Hopefully this brand is good for very dry skin. Thanks for sharing this deal.
Hey Shirley! How long ago did you request the sample?
How long doesn't it actually takes to get this sample. You can at least send us who want this sample a email just so that we know when to expect it in the mail. Thank you and Happy New Year to all that are still waiting for this sample- hello.
I requested it, hopefully I will receive it soon.
I filled out the form in December of 2015 and still received nothing.
Lets see if it really is healing as I am sensative to all brands of hand soaps…I would like to test!

Q: Can I change the type of an index on the fly without re-creating the table? I have always used a custom implementation of SQLite, and it had the "LATIN_NOCASE" collation.
I am now using System.Data.SQLite, and it doesn't have this collation, as I have found out now.
I would therefore like to change all indexes from LATIN_NOCASE to NOCASE.
Can I somehow do that with one line of code, or do I have to recreate the table / the indexes?

A: SQLite is designed as a lightweight, embedded database where large changes to the database are not supposed to happen at runtime, so it has no ALTER INDEX command: http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html.

Consumers Engaged Via Social Media Are More Likely To Buy and Recommend
Of course this is something we practice and preach everyday to our clients in Hong Kong and now here is a new study from research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey:
In a recent study of social media usage it is clear that consumers who are Facebook fans and Twitter followers of a brand are more likely to not only recommend, but they are also more likely to buy from those brands than they were before becoming fans/followers. The study of over 1500 consumers by market research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey and iModerate Research Technologies found that 60% of Facebook fans and 79% of Twitter followers are more likely to recommend those brands since becoming a fan or follower. And an impressive 51% of Facebook fans and 67% of Twitter followers are more likely to buy the brands they follow or are a fan of. Considering Facebook's over 400 million users, the opportunity is great for social media marketers.
The study also uncovered perceptions among consumers that those brands not engaging in social media are out of touch. When asked the question "What does it say about a brand if they are not involved with sites like Facebook or Twitter?" they said the following:
"It's EXPECTED that a company have some digital face – whether it's on FB or Twitter I don't know – but they need a strong electronic presence or you doubt their relevance in today's marketplace." Female 50-54
"Either they are not interested in the demographic that frequents Facebook and Twitter or they are unaware of the opportunity to get more exposure in a more interactive method." Male 35-39
"It shows they are not really with it or in tune with the new ways to communicate with customers." Female 18-24.
"If they're not on Facebook or Twitter, then they aren't in touch with the "electronic" people." Female 55-59
Recent statistics from Facebook show they have 400 million active users and more than 20 million people become fans each day. Twitter users post over 50 million tweets per day—that's an average of 600 tweets per second.

I know, I faced the same situation. But SCM Team member, Karen Smith, gave some great advice that helped me get started. And really, once I got started, the rest came along more easily.
I thought you might like to read her advice too.
It is surprising how much information you will find in a children's book. Check to see what your library has for children on specific plants, animals, and insects in your area.
It may be a good idea to search Amazon for books that are on specific topics. For example, maybe you want a book on chipmunks. Search Amazon for chipmunk books. Narrow it down to ones you are interested in, then search your library catalog to see if they are available. When I was doing research for the Outdoor Secrets Companion book, I found that there were many good children's books on nature that were shelved with the picture books and not with the nature/science books, so knowing a few titles ahead of time will help you locate books in your library.
Identify plants in your yard.
Another thing you can do to help you learn to identify plants, animals, and insects in your region is to start small. Identify what is in your yard first. What plants do you have growing in your yard? Don't limit yourself to just bushes and trees. Use your field guides to help you identify weeds, grasses, flowers, bushes, and trees. Really look at them and notice the shape of the leaves, what the ground is like where it grows (wet, dry, hard, good soil), what color and shape the flowers are, what the fruit looks like, if it has thorns or any other characteristic that will help you identify it in another setting. Draw a picture of it in your own nature journal.
Identify insects, animals, and birds in your yard.
Don't forget to notice insects, animals, and birds that visit your yard. Identify them using your field guides. Notice their habits. What flowers do the different bees frequent? What foods do the different birds eat? With the birds you can use your sense of hearing to identify them and to know when they are claiming territories or when mating season is over. They have different songs for each. The Backyard Birdsong Guide: Eastern and Central North America would be good for learning the different bird songs. Also, WhatBird.com is a good source for identifying birds.
Expand to your neighborhood and your region.
Once you are comfortable with identifying things in your yard, start identifying what is in your neighborhood. Then, when you are comfortable with that, learn what is in your region of your state/province. Remember that what grows in a yard is not necessarily native to your area and will not be found in field guides. You may find visiting plant nurseries in your area helpful in identifying some of the trees, bushes, and flowers.
Remember to start small. Eventually you will be able to identify enough plants, animals, and insects that you will find it easier to share that knowledge with your children.
Audubon field guides are wonderful to use and relatively inexpensive. Not having a field guide has been our biggest hurdle.
I am making mini books for my grandson and I, labeling the plants in our neighborhood. He recently moved to the desert from Wisconsin, so this is all new to us. (I am here visiting for a few months) I pick five plants/insects/animals…etc at a time and make a mini book of our own photos, some of the photos feature him in the photo with the object.
I used terms like "growing next to me" rather than "looking at me".
I use the internet and field guides to identify the five things we are using for the book. For me, five at a time is not overwhelming.
This is the template we use for our books, we use a sheet of photo paper.
Enjoying her smartest, cutest, best-est grandson ever.

The car thermostat needs replacement, when it wears out due to excessive usage. Check the instructions for replacing it.
A failure of any car part, however small or big, can result in your vehicle coming to a halt all of a sudden, even when in motion. One such small and often neglected part is the thermostat. This part is present in between the radiator and engine.
It is basically a temperature controlled engine coolant valve. Your car's cooling system goes for a toss in case this part stops functioning, leading to engine overheating and the car being not being able to move.
The thermostat controls the flow of coolant to the radiator. When internal combustion starts, heat is generated inside the cylinders, which is invariably absorbed by coolants present in the passages.
The thermostat's role is to let the coolant pass only when the engine has reached its usual operating temperature. Once the process begins, hot coolant from the engine is brought in to the radiator, where it cools off and within a few seconds, it travels back to the engine to soak in more heat.
Apart from this, you will also have to purchase a new thermostat, gasket, and gasket sealant, according to the particular brand and model of car you own.
Cover the radiator cap with a thick bath towel and start turning it, while you hear the pressure being released. As soon as the noise ceases, take out the cap completely. You will now have to find the thermostat.
Look for a black colored hose, about 2 inches in size, emerging at the top of the radiator. It will be fixed on the cover of the engine's surface, with the help of two bolts on either side.
Use pliers or a screwdriver to unscrew the hose and take off the clamp at the engine. It could be either a clip clamp or a steel clamp depending upon the car. Turn the hose around at the cover to loosen it up.
Note that there will be some amount of coolant which will come out when you remove the hose. Use a wrench to relax bolts on either side from the cover. Raise the cover and take the thermostat out.
With help of a scraper, take out the old gasket on the cover. Take an emery cloth and wipe off any traces remaining. Using the spring mechanism, simply put down the new thermostat into the engine. Apply gasket sealant on it. Cover where it touches the engine. Fix the new gasket on the cover in such a manner that all bolts are aligned in a straight line.
You will now have to change the old cover with the new one. Also, change the radiator hose. Start your car engine only when the sealant is totally dried. Let the engine run for a while till it reaches its usual operating temperature. Examine the new cover and hose for any signs of leakage. Also, check coolant levels and make replacements if necessary.
The cost of replacing a car thermostat usually ranges between $100 and $300.
Thus, replacing the thermostat can conveniently be done at home. It will take you about an hour and does not cost much either. Regularly check for faulty parts in your car and replace them if necessary, to ensure optimum performance and long life of the car.

Press Release – EU commits to tackling COVID-19 with new project
Antwerp, Belgium – 11 March, 2020
The University of Antwerp has launched Rapid European COVID-19 Emergency Research response (RECOVER), in collaboration with 9 international partners. The launch comes in response to the impact of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Europe. This project was selected for funding by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 research framework and builds on many years of investment by the European Commission in clinical research preparedness for epidemic response.
RECOVER will address the most urgent questions for patient and public health by conducting medical research to address key knowledge gaps, such as those about best approaches to prevent further spread of the disease and about the virus interactions with the human host. In this way, RECOVER will provide scientific evidence that can be used by clinical, public health and policy decision-makers about how best to protect health and save lives. These efforts will complement ongoing research in China and other parts of the world.
RECOVER officially launched its activities on 10 March in Amsterdam in a meeting attended by the international partners, European Commission, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). RECOVER's consortium agreed on immediate next steps which include:
A survey to understand EU citizens' experience of COVID-19 and its impacts;
A study to understand household transmission and the impact of interventions to mitigate transmission;
A study to better understand if and how children may contribute to the spread of the virus;
Recommendations to the EU on protecting the health of those at the frontline of tackling the spread of the outbreak.
The results of all RECOVER studies will immediately inform the European response to COVID-19.
"We are very grateful that the European Union is supporting initiatives that tackle this new outbreak. We are looking forward to working with our European and Chinese partners to broaden the understanding of this disease and thereby save lives."
Herman Goossens, Coordinator of RECOVER and Professor at the University of Antwerp.
"RECOVER is a unique project, integrating fundamental biological knowledge with social and clinical research, harnessing the power of science to understand and tackle COVID-19."
Sylvie van der Werf, Scientific Coordinator of RECOVER and Director of the Virology department at Institut Pasteur.
RECOVER originates from the EU-funded PREPARE project (Platform for European Preparedness Against (Re-) emerging Epidemics) and will inform future research response efforts to further strengthen Europe's preparedness for emerging infectious disease outbreaks.

Columbia, Maryland, 21044
Doors 5:30 PM / Show 7:00 PM
"During the early '90s, Phish emerged as heirs to the Grateful Dead's throne. Although their music was somewhat similar to the Dead's sound -- an eclectic, free-form rock & roll encompassing elements of folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, and pop -- the group adhered more to jazz-derived improvisation than folk tradition. Moreover, they sported a looser, goofier attitude; after all, their drummer regularly played a vacuum during their concerts. However, Phish's main claim as the inheritors to the Dead's legacy was their approach to their musical career. The band didn't concentrate on albums, dedicating themselves instead to live improvisation. Within a few years of their 1988 debut, Phish had become an institution in certain sections of America, particularly college campuses and other liberal locales. While their in-concert popularity didn't necessarily translate to huge record sales (their biggest-selling albums usually halted at gold status, with the notable exceptions of Junta and A Live One), Phish's members were still the de facto leaders of the neo-hippie jam band movement.
Guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio, drummer Jon Fishman, and guitarist Jeff Holdsworth formed the band in late 1983 while attending the University of Vermont. After meeting and jamming in their dormitory, the trio posted flyers across campus to recruit a bassist. Mike Gordon answered the advertisement and he was soon added to the original lineup. Phish began practicing regularly and soon assembled a demo tape; by the fall of 1984, they'd also begun performing off-campus concerts. At this stage in their career, the band was augmented by percussionist Marc Daubert and, occasionally, a vocalist called the Dude of Life. Keyboardist Page McConnell soon joined the group, too, having previously booked Phish to play Goddard College's Springfest in 1985. Shortly after McConnell's arrival, Holdsworth left the group, and both Anastasio and Fishman transferred to Goddard College during the fall of 1986.
Early in 1988, Phish recorded the debut album Junta, which they sold as a cassette-only release at local shows. The group played their first tour outside of New England the following year, traveling through the Southeast. Phish also recorded another album, Lawn Boy, in 1989, although the album wasn't released until the fall of 1990 (when it was issued by the independent label Absolute A-Go-Go, a subsidiary of Rough Trade). Throughout early 1991, Phish toured America; during the summer, they recorded their third album, as well as a set of sessions with their old friend, the Dude of Life.
Rough Trade collapsed that August, taking Absolute A-Go-Go with it. Phish were left without a record contract, but they were soon signed by Elektra, which released A Picture of Nectar in February 1992. The group then embarked on an extensive national tour to support the album, including a handful of shows on the H.O.R.D.E. tour. That same summer, Elektra reissued Lawn Boy and Junta, which gave fans greater access to the band's early material. Rift, Phish's fourth album (and the first they recorded with a producer), appeared in February of 1993. During Phish's 1993 tour, the group sold tickets specifically designed for those fans who were taping the concert, a major gesture of goodwill. Hoist, the band's fifth album, was released in 1994; one of its songs, "Down with Disease," became the band's first video and received some airplay on MTV. Hoist sold better than the group's previous albums, which was an indication of how large the group's fan base had become. Crimes of the Mind, the album Phish had originally recorded with the Dude of Life in 1991, was released on Elektra Records before the year's end.
In the summer of 1995, the band released the double-live album A Live One, which attempted to definitively capture the Phish concert experience. The year 1996 saw two additional releases -- one of them a Trey Anastasio solo project (a free-form jazz side project called Surrender to the Air), and the other a full-fledged Phish album entitled Billy Breathes. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, Billy Breathes garnered the group's best reviews yet. Slip, Stitch & Pass, the band's second live LP, followed in 1997, and Phish continued their prolific output in 1998 with the studio effort Story of the Ghost. Hampton Comes Alive, a six-disc release that captured four full live sets over the course of two performances, appeared in late 1999 and went gold, a testament to Phish's rabid following.
Phish's popularity only grew during the latter half of the '90s, as their ceaseless touring had helped make them one of the top concert draws in the nation. In the spring of 2000, Phish delivered the pastoral studio effort Farmhouse, which was hailed as one of their finest and tightest releases to date; they also landed some mainstream exposure thanks to the single "Heavy Things." However, exhausted by touring and separation from their families, Phish decided to take an extended break, announcing a temporary breakup in October 2000. One month later, Elektra reissued The Siket Disc, which was previously available only through mail order; it featured improvisational tracks from the band's 1997 Story of the Ghost sessions.
Each member branched out into different directions during this period. Anastasio released a series of demos before collaborating with Primus bassist Les Claypool and former Police drummer Stewart Copeland for the bizarre Oysterhead project. He also released an eponymous solo album during the spring of 2002. Jonathan Fishman worked with his own side project, Pork Tornado, as well as the touring jazz combo Jazz Mandolin Project. Page McConnell released the first recordings from his other band, Vida Blue, and contributed keyboards to Tenacious D's first record. Mike Gordon, meanwhile, did some work with friend and former employer Col. Bruce Hampton; he also dabbled in film work, both in front and behind the camera. Finally, both Gordon and McConnell worked on Gov't Mule's The Deep End, Vol. 1.
As for the band, Phish became more a part of American culture than ever before, and they made an appearance on The Simpsons before releasing a massive set of live albums (as well as a DVD) during the spring of 2002. By the end of the year, the group bowed to pressure and announced that they would begin to play live dates again, starting at the end of December. Touring soon commenced and continued for a year and a half; however, following the release of Undermind, the group decided to officially call it quits in the summer of 2004. Of course, this didn't mean that more albums couldn't be released, as a slew of posthumous releases kept the band's spirit alive while maintaining demand for Phish's reunion. The year 2005 saw the release of a 1995 New Year's Eve concert at Madison Square Garden, 2006 witnessed another live album with Live in Brooklyn, and 2008 brought about the mammoth At the Roxy (Atlanta '93), which compiled eight discs of live concert material into one package.
Phish's official reunion arrived in March 2009, when the band played three sold-out shows at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia. A reunion tour was launched that summer (with venues including Fenway Park and the main stage at Bonnaroo), and sporadic shows continued throughout the year. In addition to playing live, Phish also released their first studio album in years, having partnered with former Billy Breathes producer Steve Lillywhite for the creation of 2009's Joy; the album debuted at 13 on the Billboard Top 200. From that point on, Phish toured regularly, appearing at festivals of their own making and headlining other events, including the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Outside Lands, and Bonnaroo. Along the way, some archival releases appeared, including the 2013 box set Ventura, which housed two late-'90s concerts performed at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
In 2013 Phish reconvened at their Vermont studio, the Barn, for writing sessions that resulted in a set of ten songs for a new studio album. The bulk of the songs were debuted live at their Halloween concert in Atlantic City, after which the band decamped to Nashville to record with famed producer Bob Ezrin. Entitled Fuego, the album, their tenth, was released in June 2014 and was preceded by the single "Waiting All Night." Fuego was warmly received as one of their best studio efforts in years, and they subsequently reunited with Ezrin for a follow-up album, Big Boat, which arrived in October 2016.

200TH GULFSTREAM G280 ENTERS SERVICE
Record-Breaking Performance, Flight Deck And Cabin Distinguish Super-Midsize Aircraft
SAVANNAH, Georgia, June 29, 2020 Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced its 200th super-midsize Gulfstream G280™ business jet has entered service.
"This is a tremendous milestone in the history of Gulfstream," said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. "Every Gulfstream model is distinctive and unique in its own way, and the G280 is no different. As when it entered the marketplace in 2012, the G280's combination of superior performance, comfort, safety and efficiency puts it atop the mid-cabin class."
As of April 2020, the in-service G280 fleet had accrued nearly 236,100 flight hours and completed more than 145,000 landings. The aircraft has a National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) dispatch reliability rate of 99.81 percent.
The G280 rolled out in 2009, was certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration in 2012 and entered service that same year. It was certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in early 2013.
As with all Gulfstream aircraft, the G280 was designed with considerable input from Gulfstream customers who participate in the company's Customer Advisory Board. Based on their feedback, the G280 was designed and built with a new wing, tail, engine and interior. It also features the Gulfstream PlaneView280™ flight deck with Future Air Navigation System 1/A+ capability. Furthermore, it is certified for steep-approach operations and touchdown and rollout using Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS).
The aircraft is powered by twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines, each providing 7,624 pounds of takeoff thrust. The G280, which has achieved 75 city-pair speed records, has a range of 3,600 nautical miles at its long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.80.
The comfortable cabin offers multiple floorplan options, seats up to 10 passengers and features Gulfstream-designed cabin management and high-definition entertainment systems, industry-leading cabin sound levels, 19 large oval windows, access to the baggage compartment and several cabin connectivity options, including a high-speed Ka-band satellite system.

The Henry Ford
With Liberty and Justice for All
20900 Oakwood Blvd., Dearborn, United States of America
No idea is more fundamental than freedom to Americans' sense of themselves as individuals and as a nation. But the story of American freedom is not a clear progression to a preordained goal. It is a tale of debates, disagreements and struggles between individuals and groups of people with different ideas and points of view. It is as multifaceted, contentious and ever-changing as America itself. And it continues today.
With Liberty and Justice for All focuses upon four key transformative moments in the American quest for freedom: the Revolutionary Era, the Antislavery Movement and Civil War Era, the Woman's Suffrage Movement and the Civil Rights Movement. It highlights the people and iconic artifacts that were involved in those moments, and involves visitors in the important debates and struggles.

Marseilles (Municipality, Bouches-du-Rhône, France): House flags of shipping companies
Last modified: 2006-12-23 by ivan sache
Keywords: marseilles |
A short history of the port of Marseilles
Index of shipping companies based in Marseilles
Marseilles (Municipality, Bouches-du-Rhône, France)
France: House flags of shipping companies
It is well-known and historically proved that Marseilles (then Massalia) was founded by seamen coming from the Greek city of Phokia, in Asia Minor. The Massaliotes were fiery seamen, the most famous of them being Pytheas (IVth century BP), who calculated the latitude of Marseilles and sailed up to Ireland and maybe even further to the north, and Eutymenes. The maritime power of Massalia ended when the city chose the party of Pompeius against Julius Caesar and lost its independence. A new maritime era started with the Crusades and the independence of the Republic of Marseilles. After the incorporation of Provence into France in 1481, Marseilles could not afford the competition with Genoa, Venice, Montpellier and the Spanish ports and started slowly to decline.
In 1599, the Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles, the first in France, was created upon Henri IV's request. Louis XIV punished the revolt of Marseilles by entering himself the city through its broken walls, but modernized the port and created the galley arsenal (Arsenal des Galères). Colbert organized the shipping activity, so that trade with Levant and Barbaria (Northern Africa) increased tenfold within a few years. However, the unsuccessful wars of the end of the XVIIth century and the resulting economic crisis considerably handicapped maritime trade. In 1720, the ship Grand Saint-Antoine brought black plague from Syria and introduced the disease in Marseilles, thanks to forged quarantine certificates. The epidemic killed 100,000 in Provence, including 40,000 only in Marseilles.
At the end of the Ancient Regime, Marseilles had 120,000 inhabitants and the value of the local trade was about 1/5 of the global French trade.
The Revolution was welcomed in Marseilles, but the city once again revolted and was severely repressed. Trade nearly disappeared and was restricted to local coastal shipping. The English blockade during the First Empire did not improve the economical situation. The re-establishment of trade started under the Restauration but took much more time than expected. In the middle of the XIXth century, Marseilles had 200,000 inhabitants, and the efficient local administration promoted industrial development. The old basin of the Vieux-Port was deemed to small and it was decided to build a new port in the north of the city.
The Second Empire favoured the industrial revolution all over France, and especially in Marseilles. The three new basins of la Joliette, le Lazaret and Arenc were built. Within 25 years, the length of the quays increased threefold. The number of steamships increased from 30 to 200. This increase in trade was mostly caused by the colonization and the companies founded and funded by the French State for that purpose. It is said that Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder of the Suez Canal "forged a golden key for Marseilles". Far-East became the new Mare Nostrum of the shipowners from Marseilles. In 1890, the city had 400,000 inhabitants.
The progress in trade followed the progress in colonization, which was achieved with the incorporation of Madagascar to France in the beginning of the XXth century. In 1913, 570,000 passengers passed in transit through Marseilles, which was the first port in the Mediterranean basin and the second largest French city.
Although Marseilles was located far behind the frontline, the First World War dramatically affected the city. One third of the fleet was lost during the war, scheduled lines were modified or suppressed, for instance the lines to the Black Sea. After the war, most trade was reoriented towards the colonies and especially Algeria, with a monopole granted to ships under the French flag.
The Second World War nearly suppressed trade in Marseilles. After the French defeat in 1940, trade with Northern Africa was reestablished in order to resupply the country. From November 1942 to the liberation, the traffic was completely suppressed. The Germans systematically destroyed the port and sunk 170 ships before capitulating. Thanks to the American help, the port was cleaned and reopened to trade within 17 days. The reconstruction of the port was planified.
The independence of the colonies, the war in Algeria and the closure of the Suez Canal caused the end of several shipping companies in Marseilles. The few remaining companies had to survive through a succession of alliances and mergings.
Source: Armements marseillais - Compagnies de navigation et navires à vapeur (1831-1988), by Paul Bois, published by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Marseille-Provence [boi03].
This book is the second part of a 15 volume series entitled Histoire du commerce et de l'industrie de Marseille - XIXe-XXe siècles (History of commerce and industry in Marseilles - XIXth-XXth centuries). It is based on the archives of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Marseilles, which played a great role in the maritime development of the city and was presided by important shipowners.
The book lists all the shipping companies that operated in Marseilles between 1830 and the end of the XXth century. For each company, a detailed history, a ship list when available and scale drawings of the ships are given, as well as the house flag(s) of the company. The drawings are in black-and-white but there are three colour plates of flags and funnels in the beginning of the book. About 200 companies and 1,100 ships are presented. Indexes of companies and ships, as well as a rich bibliography are provided.
The first book of the series is Armateurs marseillais du XIXe siècle, by Roland Caty and Eliane Richard (1986), mostly dedicated to the shipowners.

Q: Deriving Flux by Fick's Law with weighted Random Walk Fick's first law of diffusion, $J=-D\nabla \phi$, is nicely derived from a random walk on wikipedia's page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick%27s_laws_of_diffusion
The physical argument is that if you have $\Delta x$ regions, half of the particles diffuse left and half right, aka a random walk, the rest of the derivation falls out.
I am interested in the case of a slight deviation in left and right going particle motion at each $\Delta t$ timestep.  Perhaps a temperature gradient for instance. Lets say the leftgoing probability is now $1/2+\delta$,  and rightgoing is $1/2-\delta$.  I have been able to nearly derive through this expression, lumping the $\delta$ terms as an added term, arriving at:
$J=-D[\nabla \phi+2\delta \times\lim_{\Delta x \to 0} (\frac{\phi(x+\Delta x,t)}{\Delta x}+\frac{\phi(x,t)}{\Delta x})]$
If I ignore the value of the limit for a minute, this intuitively makes sense, I would expect more flow in the direction of higher weight...However taking the limit further is beyond me, certainly not a simple derivative expression.  If I Taylor expand and drop higher order $\Delta x$ terms I cannot remove the $1/(\Delta x)$ terms.  Am I approaching this problem correctly or missing something in the derivation?  I imagine the idea of 1D diffusion with a temperature gradient has already been tackled (Onsager relations?)

University of Minnesota's bloat must end
At our beloved U, there's been a destructive trend of excessive compensation and administrative bloat. Here's what we can do about it.
By Arne H. Carlson
April 6, 2013 — 10:54pm
America's global economic strength has long been driven by the quality and accessibility of its higher education. This has been particularly true since passage of the GI bill at the close of World War II. The new access it delivered defined another opportunity to live the American Dream.
Now that opportunity is in jeopardy. Consider this:
• In 1970, a student could pay his or her way through the University of Minnesota by working 24 hours a week at a minimum-wage job. Today, it would require an impossible 61 hours.
• The average student today accumulates $30,000 of debt, costs that increase in graduate school. For instance, in medicine the typical debt load is $150,000. This influences students' choices, with specialties gaining and general practice in decline.
• Nationally, student debt totals around $1 trillion. About 15 percent, or $150 billion, is expected to go into default.
These trends will hurt our economy. There will be fewer housing starts, difficulty attracting teachers and doctors, as well as the increased debt itself. Rising costs will also prevent many talented individuals from seeking advanced degrees in areas vital to economic growth. A recent Price-Waterhouse report noted that the United States is losing its "innovative edge" in medical technology to countries like China and Brazil.
Over the past several months, troubling stories have been published in the Star Tribune, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal concerning to the University of Minnesota's administrative bloat and excessive compensation costs. Despite administrators' efforts to brush aside the importance of these rising costs, it is of vital importance that we deal with them and prevent further harm.
The reality is that higher-education leaders have created a financial model that focuses on their importance, and it is spiraling out of control. This is increasingly fueling media criticism and is identified as a cause for sharp increases in tuition. It only exacerbates the problem when many universities, including Minnesota, launch studies to compare their rising costs with those of other spiraling systems and proclaim this to be "the market." In fact, administrative salaries have exploded.
When I came into the governor's office in 1991, the president of the university made approximately $152,000. I made $112,000 — for a gap of some $40,000.
Today, the governor makes $120,000, and the university president is paid $610,000 — a gap of $490,000.
The lead attorney for the university makes $295,000. That's about $180,000 more than Minnesota's attorney general, $95,000 more than the attorney general of the United States, and over $70,000 more than the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The university president's chief of staff earns a salary comparable with that of the U.S. secretary of state. The university lobbyist who pleads the school's case at the State Capitol earns some $60,000 more than the governor.
Joel Maturi, a fundraiser and part-time teacher, makes $468,000; the president of the United States earns $400,000.
Overall, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post found some 17 administrators making over $300,000 per year — well more than the vice president of the United States. Some 81 earn over $200,000 per year, or more than any cabinet-level secretary.
As if this is not sufficient cause for alarm, retirement packages also have attracted attention.
First of all, the university has a rich pension formula for its higher-level employees, including administrators. Prior to January 2012, the required employee contribution rate was 2.5 percent of salary, with the university contributing 13 percent. Most public employee systems require a more-even split between employer and employee. In January 2012, a new formula went into effect, with upper-level employees contributing 5.5 percent while the university puts in 10 percent — still a most generous plan.
Interestingly, the university is far less generous to its civil service employees. They are part of the Minnesota State Retirement System and contribute 5 percent of their salaries, with the university putting in another 5 percent.
Simply put, the top echelons of administrators have a substantially richer pension reward system than the average employee.
On top of this, the Star Tribune has revealed the enormous costs of particular retirement packages.
At the height of the deep economic slump from 2007-12, while the middle class was losing some 40 percent of its total net worth and students were buckling under the weight of sharp tuition increases, some top university administrators were helping themselves to unprecedented retirement riches.
For instance, the chancellor of the University of Minnesota Duluth was granted a $535,700 bonus package by retiring President Robert Bruininks. Other top administrators were also benefactors, sharing the $2.8 million made available by the university.
The enrichment package that caught everyone's attention was that of Bruininks. Upon leaving the presidency, he received $455,000 for the purpose of preparing himself to return to the academic world. He also funneled some $355,000 to his newly created Center for Integrative Leadership, where he teaches at a salary over $340,000.
This excess directly translates into higher administrative costs, which are then charged to the university's various colleges. For instance, the medical school pays more than $66 million a year for overall administration services, ranging from utilities to a variety of student services as well as technology, library, etc. No one specific item identifies administrative overhead. Rather, these costs are blended in with the overall figures.
But the bottom-line result is that our medical students pay the highest or near the highest tuition among public universities, and this affects our ability to attract the highest-quality students.
Further, most management employees are under contract rather than serving at-will. This means they can be fired only for cause. This has created some highly expensive and inefficient practices, including lawsuits. It is not uncommon for an outgoing president to extend the contracts of his favorite managers, thereby limiting the flexibility of the incoming president.
It has also created an environment resistant to dismissal and supportive of transferring less-productive employees.
A failure of oversight
Good management learns from past mistakes and uses that learning to make meaningful long-term reforms. Large public universities, including North Carolina and California, Berkeley, have engaged a well-respected management-consulting firm that laid out a path to savings of $66 million at UNC and $75 million at Berkeley. The same firm created savings of $85 million at Cornell.
In many ways, the most intriguing and far-reaching reforms occurred at the University of Maryland, which achieved savings of $136 million over a period of six years. In 2008, Maryland's governor, university chancellor and Board of Regents agreed that the existing financial model of student debt, rising tuition and unpredictable government funding was not sustainable. Rather than kicking the can into the future, they launched an ambitious reform effort and got buy-in from the public as well as the faculty. It was bold and painful but yielded good results.
The same level of bold leadership is needed here. If done properly, it can create the university of tomorrow that utilizes all the tools at hand, including technology, to create an affordable, high-quality educational experience.
Toward that end, it is imperative that the Legislature recognize that it has the ultimate responsibility for the decisions of the Board of Regents, which selects the president and oversees the budget as well as the personnel and management systems.
Clearly, the oversight function has failed. If lawmakers resist initiating cost savings and reform, and continue to place the financial burden on the taxpayer, they run the real risk of losing elections in 2014. They can expect opposition campaigns to feature what the Star Tribune refers to as "eye-popping" salaries, the inefficiencies of management, along with the hefty "transition" packages and generous pensions. It is not likely that voters struggling to afford educational opportunities for their children will consider these practices prudent or acceptable.
The Legislature would be well-advised to consider the following:
1. Put into effect in the pending budget a realistic savings target that compels the university president and regents to overhaul the administrative systems and achieve reductions now.
2. Request that the legislative auditor review two critical parts of the university's enterprise system, which is the central information system. The quality of that system is vital to good decisionmaking. The two parts in question and in need of outside review are the Human Resources Management System and the Enterprise Financial System. Both systems were costly (more than $100 million just for the financial part) and were designed to "provide accurate, timely, comprehensive and accessible information" according to the university's chief financial officer.
Yet all too often it seems impossible to obtain answers to the most basic questions about human resources and finances. The solution seems be to hire another consultant. Why? I agree with state Rep. Gene Pelowoski, DFL-Winona, an educator, who declared: "You're going to spend half a million dollars more to tell you something you should already know."
It is imperative that the Legislature uses the independent services of the legislative auditor, who has always demonstrated a keen understanding of government management and will tell it like it is.
3. The governor should take the lead in bringing together some of Minnesota's best leaders to develop a new approach for creating a competent and visionary Board of Regents, chosen on the basis of competence and not politics. Leadership at that level is vital. Surely we can give the taxpayers a board as capable as the ones serving our private colleges. Using members of the Itasca Project may well be the place to start.
The final responsibility lies with us, the taxpayers. We love the university; we value its mission of quality education and research, and we have personally benefited from its services. It is our university, and we want it be the best it can be, and we want it available and affordable for our children. But we must insist on reform, and on an administrative culture of efficiency and public service.

This collection is for those who believe in the struggle of Martin Luther King Jr. and a better future for the black community.
Reconstruction saw black American men vote for the first time. Black people attempted to gain better-paying jobs and seek a social life that was more equal. Despite these gains, black Americans did not have equality. Many of the equalities granted in theory, such as voting rights, were quickly taken away again in practice.
Many black people living in the Northern States faced informal methods of racial discrimination, while the Southern States passed laws called 'black codes,' which tried to keep black people working as farmers or servants for little pay.
In the Southern States, local governments passed laws preventing black people from using white public facilities such as schools and parks. These were called 'Jim Crow' laws.
The Ku Klux Klan was established in the Southern states after the American Civil War. The KKK aimed to promote 'white supremacy' by intimidating, attacking, and lynching black people.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. constitution granted newly freed enslaved people equal citizenship to white people. However, in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated facilities if 'separate but equal' did not violate the constitution. This was called segregation, and in reality, black people's facilities were almost always worse than those of white people.
The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution established that neither race nor slavery could prevent black people from voting. However, state leaders used poll taxes and created impossible- to- pass literacy tests to limit the ability of African Americans to vote.
Through a system called 'convict lease,' black Americans serving prison terms, sometimes for trivial or unproven crimes, were forced to work against their will and without pay.
However, despite these laws, black Americans did not achieve economic equality. Although there has been significant progress since the Civil Rights Movement, black Americans still remain a socially disadvantaged group.
Until 1954, racial segregation in education was not only legal but was required in seventeen states and permissible in several others. Utilizing evidence provided in sociological studies conducted by Kenneth Clark and Gunnar Myrdal, however, Thurgood Marshall, then chief counsel for the NAACP, successfully argued the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas before the U.S. Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren. Marshall showed that the practice of segregation in public schools made African American students feel inferior. Even if the facilities provided were equal in nature, the Court noted in its decision, the very fact that some students were separated from others on the basis of their race made segregation unconstitutional.
The Civil Rights Movement was another phase of black political protest, rather than something entirely new in the history of the United States, which is why the Civil Rights Movement is sometimes called 'The Second Reconstruction.' Today many consider the Civil Rights Movement to have been led by Martin Luther King Jr, but key events make clear that it was the actions of everyday people - men, women, and children - that helped make the movement successful:
In 1954, Rev Oliver Brown won the right to send his child to a white school.
In the landmark Brown v Board of Education case, the Supreme Court finally ruled that segregation could not ever be equal.
In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white person, inspiring the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
In 1957, nine black students, with military protection, attended a white school in Little Rock, Arkansas.
In 1963, after campaigns of restaurant sit-ins, 'Freedom Rides' on interstate buses, and civil rights marches – a quarter of a million people marched in the 'March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom' to hear King's 'I Have a Dream' speech.
In 1966, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP) was formed in Oakland, California. Along with Malcolm X, the BPP represented strands of civil rights activism that drew attention to experiences of racial inequality happening in the cities of the north and California. Martin Luther King, until 1968, had largely focused on southern issues.


A Tijuana man pleaded guilty in federal court in San Diego Thursday to managing an international money-laundering organization that smuggled $13 million in narcotics proceeds from the United States to Mexico at the behest of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel.
Cesar Hernandez-Martinez, 29, admitted that he owned and operated currency-exchange houses in Tijuana that received smuggled drug profits from roughly April 2013 until November 2015, and further conceded that the money was from narcotics-trafficking activity in the United States.
According to court documents, Hernandez-Martinez, who was extradited from Mexico last September to face charges in the case, also coordinated couriers involved in smuggling currency out of the United States, ensuring that they picked it up from sources primarily located in Southern California.
The illicit funds stemmed from sales of multi-kilogram quantities of heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine smuggled into the United States from Mexico by a drug-trafficking organization that Hernandez-Martinez acknowledged was affiliated with the Sinaloa-based organized-crime organization, according to prosecutors.
