Baggage handlers, Call centres, AMICUS recognition, Remembering Edward Said, Fight against injustice
A SMALL but powerful group of workers took strike action at Heathrow over Christmas.
The 30 or so Aviance employees who handle baggage for the Spanish Iberia airline struck for 24 hours on 23 December and held a second strike on 30 December.
The baggage handlers are members of the GMB union.
Ed Blisset of the GMB told Socialist Worker, "It is about solidarity. Thirty workers were offered regrading. Four were left out. They are supposed to do managers' jobs with no extra pay." More action is being planned.
This action follows strikes by Swissport workers and BA check-in staff at Heathrow last year.
Call centre fight gets left on hold
THE UNIFI finance workers' union called off a planned strike at a Lloyds TSB call centre in Newcastle.
Workers at the call centre faced Christmas under threat that the centre would be closed and the jobs moved to India. Faced with the possibility of strike action, Lloyds TSB agreed to offer workers at the call centre other jobs.
Most of the 1,000 workers will have to travel to Sunderland to work in another call centre. But not all of them will get jobs there.
Unifi negotiators urged workers to vote in favour of the deal, rather than fight to save the Newcastle call centre. In their consultative ballot 59.5 percent of union members voted to accept, which shows a substantial minority were unhappy with what had been negotiated.
Workers get up off the couch
THE AMICUS trade union has won a ballot for recognition at the British Psychological Society. Over 80 percent of those who voted supported the union. Now members will need to work on the details of the recognition deal.
Celebrating life of Edward Said
OVER 200 people came to a meeting before Christmas at Bristol University student union to celebrate the life of Palestinian writer and activist Edward Said.
Speakers included Hala Abuateya, a Palestinian scholar, Alex Callinicos, professor of politics at York University, Ghada Karmi, Palestinian writer and Steven Rose, scientist and author.
Questions and debate covered the question what strategies of protest and resistance we should adopt.

Continuing fight against injustice
TWO GLOUCESTER men, Gary Mills and Tony Poole, who were released by the court of appeal last July joined their supporters this week in marking the 15th anniversary of the death of Hensley Wiltshire. Mills and Poole were wrongly convicted of his murder and-after serving 14 years-finally overturned their conviction.
Determined to expose the true murderers of Hensley Wiltshire, Mills and Poole started their campaign to call for an independent public inquiry into the death of Hensley Wiltshire.

This paper presents Activity Theory as a framework for understanding the action of playing games with the intention of building a foundation for the creation of new game design tools and methods. Activity Theory, an epistemological framework rooted in Soviet psychology of the first half of the 20th century, has a long history and was only recently applied to HCI (Nardi 1996) and games (P. Barr et al. 2007), where Barr succeeded in situating play in the Activity Theory framework. Based on his work to establish a framework for analysing systems of values in games, this paper maps different levels of interaction with games to concepts of Activity Theory in order to be able to design gameplay on those levels more effectively. The authors think that Activity Theory can provide a foundation for a new theoretical framework for game design.

Con te partirò (; svenska översättningar "Med dig ger jag mig av" och "Jag går dit du går") är en italiensk crossoverlåt som är komponerad av Francesco Sartori (musik) och Lucio Quarantotto (text). Sången framfördes först av Andrea Bocelli vid 1995 års San Remo-festival och spelades in på hans album Bocelli från samma år. Singeln släpptes först som en A-side-singel med "Vivere" 1994, och låg högst upp på topplistorna, först i Frankrike, och sedan i Belgien, där den slog alla tiders försäljningsrekord.

En andra version av sången, som delvis sjungs på engelska, släpptes som "Time to Say Goodbye". Den sjöng Bocelli tillsammans med den engelska sopranen Sarah Brightman, och denna fick ännu större framgång, och toppade topplistorna i hela Europa, inklusive Tyskland, där den blev den mest sålda singeln någonsin. Bocelli spelade även in en helt spansk version av låten, och den kallades då "Por ti Volare". Låten anses, i alla tre versioner, vara Bocellis paradnummer. Även om framträdanden av låten mest är förknippade med sporthändelser, är den ofta med i filmer och tv-serier och är en populär konsertlåt. Den är även vanlig på begravningar.

Björn Ulvaeus har skrivit den svenska texten "Jag går dit du går" till Tommy Körbergs julskiva Tommys jul 2014.

Estradören Mattias Enn har gjort en svensk översättning som heter Tid att ta farväl.

Historia

Bakgrund

Den första singeln, som spelades in av Polydor Records, var inte framgångsrik i Italien. På andra ställen var den däremot en stor hit. I Frankrike och Schweiz låg den högst upp på topplistorna i sex veckor, och sålde tre guldskivor. I Belgien blev det den största hiten dittills, med tolv veckor högst upp på topplistorna. I Tyskland marknadsförde East West Records tillsammans med Polydor en version av "Con Te Partiro", omdöpt till "Time to Say Goodbye", där en del av texten förändrats, som temasång för boxaren Henry Maskes sista match. "Time to Say Goodbye" gjordes även till en duett med Sarah Brightman, som hade framfört "A Question of Honour" i en av Maskes föregående matcher. Den tyska producenten Frank Peterson, som har arbetat med Brightman sedan 1991, gav låten en engelsk titel, snarare än den tyska titeln "Mit Dir Werde Ich Fortgehen". Inspelningen av låten ägde rum i Petersons studio i Hamburg. Matchen ägde rum den 23 november 1996. Maske ställdes mot amerikanen Virgil Hill, och matchen sågs av fler än 21 miljoner åskådare. Bocelli och Brightman framförde sången till matchens öppningen, och spelades återigen när Maske lämnade ringen.

På topplistorna

I december hade singeln "Time to Say Goodbye", släppt på East West, nått nummer ett på Media Control Charts, den tyska singeltopplistan, och beräknades sälja 40 000–60 000 per dag, och beräknades ha sålt minst en miljon vid årets slut. Båda sångarnas respektive album ökade också i försäljning. I februari följande år hade singeln slagit alla tiders försäljningsrekord i Tyskland, genom att ha sålts i 1.65 miljoner exemplar, och skulle till slut sälja 11 guldskivor med över 2 750 000 kopior. Det är den bäst säljande singeln i Belgien.

"Time to Say Goodbye" nådde en andra plats på UK Singles Chart när den släpptes i maj 1997, och sålde guld. Den stannade kvar på topp 30 i ytterligare två månader, och spelades ofta på BBC Radio 2. Duetten var med på Brightmans album från 1997, Timeless (som fick namnet Time to Say Goodbye i USA, och placerades som första spår på skivan). Brightman har även spelat in en soloversion, som släpptes på duettsingeln såväl som på senare album.

Coverversioner

Sedan låten släpptes har låten släppts i flera andra versioner och framförts av flera olika sångare. Versioner som kan nämnas är "Por ti volaré", en spansk version med en kraftigt förändrad text, och "I Will Go with You (Con te partirò)", en danceremix av Donna Summer. År 2001 släppte Journeys gitarrist Neal Schon ett soloalbum, Voice, som innehåller en instrumental version av låten. Nana Mouskouri spelade in en version på albumet Hommages från 1997.

Welsh mezzo-sopranen Katherine Jenkins spelade in en version av låten. Den fanns med på hennes album Second Nature från 2004. Hennes version släpptes även som en singel den 21 februari 2005. Gregory Lemarchal spelade in en version till sitt album La voix d'un ange som släpptes efter att Lemarchal dog 2007 till följd av cystisk fibros vid 23 års ålder. Den nyzeeländska sångaren Hayley Westenra hade med en version av låten på sitt album Amazing Grace - The Best of Hayley Westenra från 2007. Den svenska sångaren Sanna Nielsen gjorde en engelsk-svensk version av låten som fanns med på hennes album Sanna 11-22. Andre Rieu och Mirusia Louwerse spelade även in en version av sången på deras album You'll never walk alone. Den italienska tenoren Micheal Castaldo spelade in två versioner av låten och inkluderade dem på sitt album Villa från 2004. Castaldos flamencoversion av låten spelades mycket på italiensk-amerikanska radiokanaler i USA och Kanada.

2004 släpptes trumpetaren Chris Bottis tolkning av låten på albumet When I Fall in Love. 2007 släppte den chilenska sångaren Carolina Soto en spansk version med namnet "Por Ti Volare". Låten var en framgång i Chile, eftersom Soto var med i en populär talangjakt, kallad "Rojo". Royal Scots Dragoon Guards spelade in en cover av sången till deras album Spirit of the Glen" från 2007. Gitarristen Marty Friedman, före detta medlem i Megadeth, spelade in en cover på låten till sitt nionde studioalbum Bad D.N.A'' som släpptes i Japan den 25 augusti 2010.

You are undoubtedly familiar with our products, but do you know our history and theirs? From the stainless steel soap that got us started, to our innovative Balancia range, read on to discover how our breakthroughs became kitchen classics.
Inspired by his experience in the kitchen at Maxim's, a certain Mathieu Lion decides to invent kitchen utensils truly suited to the cooking methods of his time and founds Mastrad S.A. with Thibault Houelleu. He hits hard with his first product, a bar of stainless steel soap. Named "Deos" and designed by Luka, this retro-futuristic looking tool eliminates persistent odors from chefs' hands through a natural process that never wears out: redox. The result: an award at the Lépine Competition and instant success.
After changing the way that both professional and amateur chefs wash their hands, Mastrad makes another impression with Magma, a flameless, cordless hot plate. Microwavable, its ceramic core retains heat for one full hour without burning the material around it. The new product receives immediate recognition with a "Discovery Award" at the Maison & Objet trade show.
With its Axos range, Mastrad takes on knife ergonomics. The breakthrough design of these impressive blades wins over the French Chef Association. The frenchie small knife range even winds up on display at the famous Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
1998: why not add some color?
A material that neither melts nor scratches and can be used for every kind of formal eccentricity? A dream come true for a brand that cares about convenience, sturdiness and esthetics. Mastrad recognizes the advantages of silicone early on and uses it in its designs for the first time. And lo and behold: three awards at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva.
Perhaps inspired by the arrival of the new millennium, our designers are particularly creative in 2000. Mastrad patents a vertical sauce baster that separates the fat from the broth and adds a finishing touch to its electronic, preprogrammed and programmable thermo-cooking probe.
Mastrad sticks its nose into your sauces. How can making salad dressing be easier, faster and more fun with guaranteed results? The Mastrad salad dressing mixer is the answer. Graduations and recipes built into the glass, anti-drip spouts and, above all, a crank handle that emulsifies for you. All it took was some thought.
The Orka silicone glove is a watershed moment in Mastrad's history. This utensil made of flexible silicone and heat resistant up to 250°C is the first to enable cooks to reach into boiling liquid without getting burned. Practical, sturdy and colorful, Orka is a sensation. Voted best product of the year in the "safety" category by Capital magazine, its success spreads all the way to the UK and the US: the "Excellence" prize at the Housewares Awards, "Innovation of the Year" at the Good Housekeeping Institute and a gold medal at the Gourmet Products Show.
Our soft-bottom ice cream scoop receives the "Design star" awarded by the APCI (Agency for the Promotion of Industrial Creation). Our soft-bottomed ice tray also wins the "Lifestyle Grand Prize" at the Maison & Objet trade show.
Mastrad makes baking simpler and safer with its soft silicone molds equipped with rigid handles. No more risk of spilling the batter before it reaches the oven, or struggling to remove the mold. It's also a cinch to wash!
Parents discover the Kids range, specially designed to get children excited about cooking by making it fun. At the same time, we found our subsidiary, Mastrad Inc, in the US. A new step and new horizons.
With the Mastrad siphon, a future kitchen classic in mousse creation enters the scene. Safe, practical and easy to use, it puts this spectacular professional tool within everyone's reach. Foie gras espuma, crab cappuccino, raspberry cloud, asparagus mousse, whipped cream and many more lovely and tasty treats to come.
To help its customers find inspiration, Mastrad inaugurates a series of cookbooks. Entitled "the indispensables," the collection includes advice, hints and creative recipes developed by professional chefs using our products. The initiative is awarded several cookbook prizes.
To try the wear-resistant sharpness of a ceramic blade is to fall instantly in love with it. Mastrad launches its range of ceramic knives with ergonomic handles and receives multiple awards along the way. That's what we call a clear-cut success.
Crunchy and tasty chips, without any fat and with very little effort: it could have remained a fantasy, were it not for the ingenious TopChips. A mandolin, a perforated cooking tray and a microwave oven, and vegetable and fruit chips will never be the same. TopChips is adulated everywhere: a prize at the Birmingham food fair, a "Gourmet Product Award" in California, finalist at the Housewares Design Awards in New York and more.
Wanting to simplify life for young parents, Mastrad launches its range of baby utensils, "Mastrad Baby." From the Babypod with integrated portion cups, to the anti-slip Lil' Plate, to the Fruti Pot for babies on the move, introducing solids becomes child's play.
Just over 20 years after introducing an amazing little bar of steel soap, Mastrad continues to rethink and reinvent classic kitchen utensils. With its new Balancia range, Mastrad is turning pots on their heads. Bowl, stewpot, saucepan or salad bowl, steamer basket or double boiler: these clever containers can play any role required. Space saving, money saving, convenient, attractive, and more... This innovation is much appreciated by the pros, resulting in an "Interior Innovation Award" in the Cooking category.

I Was Served With a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, Now What?
Keep track of the date you were served. The court imposes a deadline the Respondent served with a petition for dissolution of marriage to file their response to the petition. Failure to file a response within the court's deadline can cause the court to issue orders without any input from the Respondent.
Determine whether you will hire a family law attorney. It is important to determine early in the proceedings whether you will hire an attorney to assist you through the divorce proceedings. If you choose to have legal counsel, the attorney will likely want to draft their own response to the Petitioner's petition for dissolution of marriage. The earlier the attorney is brought into the case, the more familiar they will be with the facts of your case and the goals you have set.
Consider your finances. Take a look at any joint bank accounts and keep a close eye on the funds that are removed from the account. Keep accurate records of your spending out of any joint accounts. You may also want to consider working with your spouse to divide the remaining funds in the joint accounts so that those accounts can be closed.
Read any Injunctions that are put in place by the court in your divorce case. Once the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed the court will normally issue an injunction. An injunction prevents certain actions with regard to the marital property, insurance and any minor children. An injunction is a court order and it is important that all court orders are followed by the parties.
Consider sitting down with your spouse. Oftentimes the parties are able to sit down early on in a case to discuss how each of them would like to resolve the case. While many cases are contested and the parties are unable to reach any agreements, some divorcing couples are able to take control of their divorce case and work out agreeable terms that their attorneys can then memorialize in a final decree. Parties should also consider whether a form of mediation would be helpful in their case.
Do not forget the kids. While learning that your spouse wants a divorce is painful, the affect that this decision has on the children of the marriage should be a primary concern of the parents. Divorce can be devastating for the kids. While the parents often consider what they could have done differently in the marriage to make it work, the children often do the same. It is so important that children of a divorce are appropriately informed and that they have an outlet to express their emotions. Counseling can be helpful and should be considered early on in the divorce case.
If you are served, do your best to stay organized, make sure that you calendar all court dates and deadlines and contact an attorney early to ensure that your rights are protected.

"Trashion" statement: Mermaid wears littered drink containers to reveal impact of ocean pollution
Art activist trashes environmentalist/model in a dress made entirely of bottles and cans washed up on Australian beaches, to spotlight marine pollution and the importance of recycling.
laura-wells-sothern-courier-comp-330508.jpg
(See the high-resolution versions of the following images. Watch the video introducing Marina DeBris and giving a peek behind the scenes of the trashion creation.)
Australian environmentalist and model Laura Wells has made waves as a plastic mermaid – in a dress made entirely of drink container litter collected from Sydney beaches. Designed by "trashion" artist Marina DeBris, the project seeks to highlight the importance of recycling and protecting our oceans following a new container deposit initiative aiming to reduce litter in Australia.
The mermaid dress was commissioned by TOMRA, whose reverse vending machines are used to collect empty drink containers for recycling in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) and 60+ markets worldwide. Under a container deposit scheme, consumers receive a refund after returning their empty containers for recycling.
The dress is composed entirely of washed up container litter that the award-winning artist picked up on her morning walks at Coogee Beach and Gordons Bay in Sydney. The dress is made of more than 60 plastic drink bottles, over 190 cans and over 90 bottle caps, re-fashioned into couture with a message.
Named "The Ones That Got Away", the creation features containers that never found their way into the recycling system, but instead got littered and thrown away. The mermaid dress is the latest in Marina DeBris' "trashion" series "Beach Couture: A Haute Mess", which has been on show at Bondi's Festival of the Winds and Sculptures by the Sea events.
MAKING A FASHION STATEMENT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Marine litter is an issue close to Laura Wells' heart. As well as gracing magazines as one of Australia's top plus-size models, Laura is an environmentalist with degrees in biology and law, and qualifications in environmental management. She has worked on environmental campaigns with The Boomerang Alliance, Greenpeace and the Marine Stewardship Council, and was vocal in the campaign to introduce the container deposit scheme in New South Wales.
"I am passionate about the climate, environment and our oceans, and really enthusiastic to see the positive impact the container deposit scheme will have on New South Wales," explained Laura Wells. "I have worked with Marina DeBris in the past and was excited to bring her latest creation to life for such an important cause."
Marina DeBris' trashion creations have featured in Los Angeles fashion shows and even in exhibits at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. "This piece seeks to shine a light on plastic pollution and how we can all make an impact by recycling our containers properly. Carelessly discarding bottles and aluminum cans not only destroys the beauty of our state, but can be harmful to local wildlife, and to ourselves."
"Laura Wells and Marina DeBris' efforts in drawing attention to litter prevention and ocean conservation truly get to the heart of what the container deposit scheme aims to achieve," said Ryan Buzzell, President of TOMRA Collection Australia. "The new container deposit scheme here is the biggest litter reduction initiative in the history of New South Wales, and will have an enormous impact on reducing the amount of rubbish on our beaches, streets and waterways."
Prior to the launch of the NSW "Return and Earn" container deposit scheme, drink containers made up 44% of the volume of all litter across the state. NSW recyclers take part by returning an eligible drink container to Return and Earn collection points, including TOMRA reverse vending machines, to claim their refund. The empty glass and plastic bottles, cans and liquid paperboard cartons can then be reused and recycled, to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
"I often say I wish this would end tomorrow: there would be no more single-use items or pollution, and that I would stop thinking about it and I would move on to something else," reflects Marina DeBris in the behind-the-scenes video about the making of the mermaid trashion creation. "I have to say I don't think I'll ever stop. As long as it's out there, I'm not going to be able to walk by it."

About Marina DeBris:
Marina DeBris is an Australia-based artist whose work focuses on reusing trash to raise awareness of ocean and beach pollution. DeBris uses trash washed up from the beach to create trashion, sculpture, and other works of art. Her recent piece titled the "Inconvenience Store" (now on view at Taronga Zoo) secured awards at this year's Sculpture by the Sea, including a tie for the Allens People's Choice Award. As well as creating art from litter, DeBris also is a fund raiser for environmental organizations, and collaborates with non-profit organizations and schools to educate children about ocean pollution. DeBris is also a social activist, and has participated in a panel on how artists can contribute to environmental public policy, promoting clean energy and curating eco-art exhibitions.

Goodwood Golf Club is located on the Goodwood estate and hosts a number facilities and activities across the site including the racecourse, aerodrome, and motor racing circuit. Events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival have become major international events, as has Glorious Goodwood on the racing calendar.
The Goodwood estate is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and forms part of the South Downs National Park.
Greens :Velvet Bent grasses requires less water, less nutrient input, the leaf blade is finer which will improve playability.
Tees: Rye Grass, which is hard wearing which requires less water and less nutrient input.
Fairways and Semi-rough: We have a program In place to change the species from Rye grasses to Fescue grasses, which requires less water and less nutrient input.
Establishing clear internal policies for irrigation, fertilization, colour, cutting heights, overseeding etc All policies are covered in the General Course Management Policy.
Ferilization - The choice of material will always be based on soil or tissue analysis.
Cutting - Mowing will be scheduled to provide consistency on a day to day basis. Height of cut will depend on the time of year.
Irrigation - Water usage is monitored by supervisors. Assessments will be made on water requirement on a daily basis.
Promoting the playing quality values of more naturalized turf, particularly fairways and semi-rough Appropriate weed control is used to promote the playing surfaces on the fairways and semi-rough areas. On the semi rough areas no more than 20% of the leaf blade is removed at any one time. This will reduce unwanted clippings laying on the surface.
Promoting the financial benefits of presenting sustainable surfaces A program is in place to change the grass species on the greens and fairways. The new species of grasses will have the need for less water and less nutrient input. Therefore promoting financial benefits.
Appropriately matching mowing lines to contours Appropriately matching mowing lines to contours are applied to make the course have a more natural flow and feel about it.
Protection and restoration of historic features We have a few ancient woodland areas surrounding the course. These areas are looked after by our own forestry department. The flint walls on and around the estate are looked after by the repair and maintenance department.
Discreet on-course signage and furniture All signage is a natural grey and quite discreet. The wild areas are marked with small signs with bees on them, with the wording Going Wild At Goodwood. This allows the customers to know not to enter the area due to its bio-diversity.
Conservation of specimen trees Our specimen trees are monitored and pruned for dead, diseased and damaged branches every year. This year we had to remove a limb from a specimen Yew tree as it showed early signs of rot. This however did not compromise the shape of the tree. Our forestry department are consulted regularly.
Screening and softening unsightly man-made features The use of wicker fencing is used to screen off our grass collection trailers. All shed / huts in the woodland areas are painted black to soften the outline of the buildings and to blend it into the woodland.
Minimizing the amount of amenity grass We have removed some areas of amenity grass and replaced these areas with wildflower seed mixes. This is to produce more aesthetically pleasing areas, which are also a good source of pollen and nectar for our bees.
Increasing the size of habitat patches Some areas of scrub land are now being left to grow naturally. Also some areas on the course have eco piles of logs to increase bio-diversity.
Avoidance of habitat fragmentation The Greenstaff are aware of where the eco piles and specific habitats are. They have all been advised to stay clear of these areas and to consult a supervisor when working close to these areas.
Creation of botanically rich rough grassland The grasslands are becoming slowly nutrient enriched allowing cocksfoot and other more competitive grass species to take hold.
Ecologically informed management of scrub vegetation Management of scrubland areas are set by our Ecological and Landscape policy.
Promoting species and structurally diverse woodlands Promoting species and structurally diverse woodlands are set by our Ecological and Landscape policy.
Maintenance of an appropriate balance of open water and aquatic vegetation Each year we reduce the amount of weeds in both ponds outside of the breeding season. Water plants are also thinned out.
Naturalization of linear habitats Linear habitats, such as hedges are cut with different frequencies, depending on Location. Roadside hedges are cut more often, where as the natural hedge of thorns on the left of the 10th hole is cut 1 side every year on a 3 year cycle.
Provision of nesting and nectar for pollinators We have a fully operational bee hive on site. Two trained greenkeepers look after it on a daily basis.
Installation of nest boxes We recently purchased 14 bird boxes and installed them around the estate.
Provision of feeding tables Feeding tables are not used on the golf course. All the feeding is done naturally.
Provision of hibernation areas Where a badger set is located we leave a radius around it where we do not cut, strim or remove any of the natural grass or vegetation. This is so that we do not disturb them or any of there sets.
The Goodwood Estate draws water from a number of boreholes on the estate and is connected to mains supply from Portsmouth water for some areas of the estate.
Water is used in irrigation, club house facilities and yard maintenance.
Over the last 18 months Goodwood has moved to digital data management for water, including investing in enhanced metering and online portal. This has meant Goodwood has more accurate data that has enabled identification and monitoring of leaks.
Selection of grass species Bent on Greens mixed with Annual meadow grass on greens.
Soil decompaction and thatch management Aeration has been introduced to reduce the greens organic content. Slitting, sorrel rolling, air injecting, hollow coring, verti draining and spiking.
Sand topdressings are applied routinely throughout the year.
Over seeding to establish a bent sward is underway.
Timing and dose of water application Generally evening and overnight to reduce evaporation. All sprinkler heads are checked weekly for direction and efficiency.
Analysis of soil moisture This is taken weekly on the courses. Each green is checked for an optimum of 19 percent MC. Above that we will reduce the amount of water and below that we would hand water these areas with a wetting agent.
Overall reduction in irrigated area Sprinkler heads are raised to reduce water lost by the jet not hitting the ground around it. We also are starting to use Toro anti block nozzles to increase the water output hitting the target area. We hand water in dry spells so that the water hits the target area to increase efficiency.
Targeting of sprinkler heads Sprinkler heads are arced at the start of the season to check that they are correct. These are then monitored throughout the year. We also change the trajectory of the sprinkler heads on windy parts of the course from 25 degrees to 15 degrees to reduce water loss on target areas.
Optimizing system pressure Half of the sprinkler heads on the course have pressure regulators which are set at 5.5 bar which is the optimum pressure for them. We will be upgrading the system soon so that all the sprinkler heads on the course will have pressure regulators on them.
Adoption of cutting edge nozzle technology We are currently upgrading to anti block nozzles when we install or repair sprinkler heads.
Low-flow urinals and toilets All refurbished & new buildings have a low level flush toilet and policy is to replace urinals with low flow.
Use of efficient shower technology Aerated low pressure showers on projects with a rolling programme on existing showers.
Repairing leaks Water leaks on the golf course are repaired by either the irrigation technician or a contracted irrigation specialists. Water leaks in the clubhouse are repaired by the companies plumbers who work in the estates repair and maintenance department.
Water awareness signage Warning signs are clearly displayed on the perimeter fence of the irrigation water storage tank. Theses signs consist of Danger Deep water and fragile roof.
The Goodwood Estate uses grid electricity, fuels for heating and transport. It has some onsite renewable energy generation from Biomass and solar PV.
Biomass and wood used for heating is all form sustainably certified sources.
Installation of photovoltaic and / or solar panels We have introduced Solar panel to yard for buggy charging.
Use of recycled oils Chain oil for chainsaws is recycled from used engine and hydraulic oil.
Use of motion sensor lighting We currently use motion sensor lighting in the staff car park and walkway to the greenkeeping facility.
Transition to energy efficient appliances We have recently gone for a bio-mass boiler and A++ energy rated appliances are used on a replacement programme.
Car sharing incentives Work rota is planned around staff members who live near each other. For example 2 of our staff live 20 miles away, so therefore they are placed on the same weekend team so they can car share.
Group transportation (e.g. buses) When attending seminars throughout the year, we hire a mini bus to the event, encouraging reductions in emissions.
Promoting public transport routes and timetables We have a bus stop outside of the estate with bus times. this information is made available on the notice boards.
Promotion of walk to work campaigns A few staff walk in as they live near by. The roads surrounding the estate have very little pedestrian walkways currently.
Resources are obtained from various suppliers. We use local companies for small tools, sand, soil, PPE, consumables etc. For fertiliser and chemicals we use 3 main companies. We buy in bulk to save on delivery costs and to lower our carbon footprint.
Measures to avoid waste at source As a policy only order what is required for stock or specific projects. We regularly rotate stock items with the end date being used first. We will always look to see if we can do something an alternative natural way, rather that purchase the items.
Use of local suppliers We use local companies for small tools, sand, soil, PPE. consumables etc. We also use departments on site, such as the farm for our milk and the forestry department for our woodchip, posts, etc.
Use of local products We use Goodwood Organic milk from our company's diary. Also the clubhouse uses this, as well as using fresh products from our own organic farm shop.
Use of recycled and recyclable products We recycle a lot of our timber and boards. Hand tools are repaired in house. All organic waste is mushed and used back on the site. We also recycle some plastic containers, that are used to carry our divot mix when divoting on the course.
This golf facility does not undertake IPM activities to minimize turfgrass inputs.
Calibration and testing of sprayers The sprayer is calibrated on a regular basis by the staff who have a certificate in The Safe Use Of Pestercides. The sprayer output is also tested every time the nozzle selection is changed. The spraying booms are also balanced before every use.
Non-chemical weed control Weeds on the green are removed manually by the operator who is cutting or carrying out maintenance on it. This is carried out on a daily basis.
Establishment of recycling centers The company has its own recycle area.
The Goodwood Estate ensures the use of chemicals is restricted in order to reduce the risk of pollution.
Storage of equipment and hazardous products on covered, sealed impervious areas Our equipment is kept in a covered secure facility. Our hazardous products are kept locked up in a chemical store with overspill floor to prevent any contamination.
Maintenance of equipment on covered, sealed impervious areas Our machine maintenance area has a sealed concrete floor which is impervious to any liquids. This is also cleaned on a regular basis.
Mixing of pesticides and fertilizers in covered areas All pesticides and fertilizers are mixed on are wash pad which is a close looped system. Therefore if any material is spilled it will not pollute the ground or the surrounding areas. The wash pad system is designed to neutralise any chemical which is put into it.
Mixing of pesticides and fertilizers over impervious surfaces All pesticides and fertilizers are mixed on are wash pad which is a close looped system. Therefore if any material is spilled it will not pollute the ground or the surrounding areas. The wash pad system is designed to neutralise any chemical which is put into it.
Installation of above-ground fuel tanks We use an above-ground bonded diesel tank, which is locked and secure when not in operation. We also fill in a usage record to record all diesel used.
Installation of sufficient secondary containment for fuel Our petrol store is a contained unit with spill floor.
Provision of containment booms and absorbent materials In the machine maintenance area we have spill kits, which include absorbent materials and containment booms. We also have a separate bin for contaminated waste.
Eliminating leachate and run-off through careful timing of turf inputs Chemical rates are used as specified on the label. Chemicals are always applied at the right time of year. The sprayer is calibrated on a regular basis to provide the correct spray volume to prevent any leachate and run-off.
Establishment of vegetative buffer strips around water bodies When using the boom sprayer for chemical application we have the following buffer zones.
Establishment of emergency spillage response plan We have a H&S Plan for emergency spillage in place.
Establishment of pesticide-free zones Goodwood is an organic farm, therefore we have a 10m sprayer buffer zone around any land which is used for organic purposes.
Use of swales and bio-filters to slow and treat surface run-off Our natural long rough areas are designed to reduce water run off, by the plants acting as natural filters to the water run off.
The Goodwood Estate has an annual charity and is constantly helping local charities.
Storage, application and disposal of pesticides Only staff trained in the Safe Use of Pestercides are authorised to handle chemicals. A Standard Operation Procedure document has been created to make sure that storage, application and disposal procedures are carried out in the same for every staff member with a Pestercide Application certificate.
Efficient water management Water management education is given to the staff by the company's irrigation technician. The irrigation technician has qualifications in automatic irrigation systems and is educated enough to give the staff members on efficient water management. This is normally carried out in an informal way.
Management of accidents and emergencies All staff know that accidents and near misses need to be reported as soon as possible to a manager. Accidents and near misses are recorded and givin to the companies health and safety manager. Quarterly formal meetings are held and accidents and near misses are discussed for educational purposes.
Management of habitats and vegetation Drop in sessions are held for all staff to learn about ecology on the course and the management of these areas. These sessions are held by the course manager and ecology leader. The drop in sessions are held on a fortnightly basis and also involves other aspects of golf course management.
Waste minimization, separation and recycling Our bins provided are for separation of materials . Our main skips are sent back to the chichester waste center and recycled there.
Health & Safety All staff are required to read and sign indivdual risk assessments and SOP's. Quarterly formal meetings on health and safety are held to educate the staff on new and existing risks and hazards. Chainsaw operators carry out on site risk assessments and brief their team on emergency contingencies.
Environmental management planning The staff are kept up to date on the ecology plan every 3 months at formal meetings. As well as this, informal discussions are had between the staff, ecology leader and management team. Also the ecology plan is on the wall of the greenkeepers mess room for the staff to look at at any time.
Neighbours The company provides housing and allotments in many of the local villages. Also acknowledge the support of our residents and neighbours for their help in hosting the companies major events.
Local Government To foster close relations, the company works closely with the parish councils and regularly attend parish council meetings. Also actively work with parishes to help develop Neighbourhood Plans in accordance with current government planning policy.

What Day Of The Week Was December 20, 2012?
December 20, 2012 was the 355th day of the year 2012 in the Gregorian calendar. There were 11 days remaining until the end of the year. The day of the week was Thursday.
A person born on this day will be 6 years old today. If that same person saved a Nickel every day starting at age 3, then by now that person has accumulated $60.85 today.


It's a. . . BOY!!! I can hardly believe it. It almost seems too good to be true. We have been blessed by 3 daughters and 1 son and now our little boy will have a brother. This is going to be one LOVED little baby.
The little sneak (below) took the balloons and ran as soon as the box was open!


We are the messengers of hope. We are the children of the universe living today to pave the way for others to come behind us to find joy, to find peace, to find hope. We have the power to create our day. There are times when we sink into the darkness, where allowing the deep to blanket us, cuddling down into the folds. Yet even as we stay in the night, we must come into the light, the truths, as only in the light can we truly see all possibilities. The dark carries shadows. Our very nature is to stay in the dark, where we are hidden from truths, but also from hope. We can determine to come to the light. Sing to the morning. Sing to the light. Dance before dawn to welcome this bright new day.
Animal totems: Yellow warbler: Bro warbler's very being, small, yellow, bright, welcomes the day as he begins his songs in the early morning. Very sociable, his totem is well – known as a greeter with joy of the new day. His totem is one of awakening our magick, realizing no matter how small we feel, we are an intricate part of the magick of today. His medicine reminds us to start with song, with happiness for our bright new day.
Lady Moon is Waxing Crescent as she grow bigger, her illumination is 15 % today. She enters into Scorpio at 2:47 am, while our first house of self is still in cancer. This house in Cancer the crab shares with us we will be ruled by emotions, so tread carefully not to be crabby. This is the time of year for blackberries. Use blackberries in every ritual to draw money into our lives. Blackberry is good for digestion, and making a potion of leaves, roots, and fruit will soothe sore throats!
Many say to me: Deb, I want just the truth. But often times we are expecting bad news as "truth". Good news, better times, CAN be the truth my loves. Even if we have to say, look there is waiting time, or look there is a different way, it can be done with hope, with positivity. there are 2 sides to every story. I was born, survived many paths, to be a prophet of Hope, not as the prophet of Hebrew faith Jeremiah, he was the prophet of sadness, but he was also of Hope. he spoke of the days of sadness coming, but also in the end showed through the sorrows came the path to hope. Seek out the hope.
I am here to help guide whatever faith system you may have. I"ve studied almost every faith system known to man, and if i dont' know it, i will research it. My rates are lower than most, not because i don't believe in my guidance, but because I want to help the discouraged, the lonely, the sad, the ones who feel down to lift them up again to faith. make an appointment today.

Candidates for Head of N.H. Democrats Make Their Case to Progressives
New Hampshire Public Radio | By Sarah Gibson
Emmett Soldati for NH/AP
Emmett Soldati (L) and Ray Buckley
The New Hampshire Democratic Party's longtime chairman, Ray Buckley, is facing a challenge from a young activist who says the party needs to do a better job supporting down-ballot candidates and connecting with local communities if it wants to turn New Hampshire blue.
Emmett Soldati, who runs the Teatotaller Café in Somersworth and heads that city's Democratic Party, is running to unseat Buckley in the party's election next month.
Buckley has had a strong voice in local and national Democratic Party politics for decades but has been criticized recently for how many seats the party lost to Republicans in the legislature and executive council this past November.
At an online forum organized this weekend by the progressive group Rights and Democracy, Buckley defended his leadership and said he was well-poised to begin an 8th term.
"The amount of money we raise, the amount of staff we have, the support we give to our candidates, our local and county committees, is unprecedented," he said.
Buckley acknowledged the landslide win in November of Gov. Sununu and local Republicans, but he said the party was taking a hard look at what went wrong in 2020. He also pointed out the Democrats' ability to fend off challenges to the state's top Democrats for years.
"We have won four of the five last Senate races," he said. "If we hadn't run those races [in November 2020], Mitch McConnell, no what had happened in Georgia, would still be the majority leader in trying to destroy everything you're seeing the Biden-Harris administration accomplish."
Soldati, who ran unsuccessfully in the 2020 primary for Executive Council, said Democrats needed to focus more on building grassroots progressive activism and "unify all the voices and leaders in the state."
"Whether you're concerned about the statehouse majority, or Senator Hassan's election campaign, it's all going to happen with everyone that is activated and inspired at the local level," he said.
The N.H. Democratic State Committee members are voting remotely for chairman until March 13 and will announce the results on March 14.

Q: Adding subviews to UIScrollView in landscape mode I have a view controller that starts in landscape mode with a UIScrollView in it. I try to create subviews and add them to the UIScrollView but the frame size of the views were all in portrait size.
Here's my code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self.scrollView setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight)];

    NSArray *colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIColor redColor], [UIColor greenColor], [UIColor blueColor], nil];

    for (int i = 0; i < colors.count; i++)
    {
        CGRect frame = self.scrollView.frame;
        frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * i;
        frame.origin.y = 0;

        UIView *subview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        subview.backgroundColor = [colors objectAtIndex:i];
        [self.scrollView addSubview:subview];
    }

    self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(self.scrollView.frame.size.width * colors.count,
                                             self.scrollView.frame.size.height);
    self.scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
    self.scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
    self.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
    self.scrollView.scrollsToTop = NO;
}

The output:

A: - (void)viewDidLoad
{
   [super viewDidLoad];
   [self.scrollView setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight)];
   NSArray *colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIColor redColor], [UIColor greenColor], [UIColor blueColor], nil];
   for (int i = 0; i < colors.count; i++)
   {
      CGRect frame = self.scrollView.bounds;
      frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * i;
      frame.origin.y = 0;
      UIView *subview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
      subview.backgroundColor = [colors objectAtIndex:i];
      [self.scrollView addSubview:subview];
   }
   [self.scrollView setAutoresizesSubviews:NO];
   self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(self.scrollView.frame.size.width * colors.count,self.scrollView.frame.size.height);
   self.scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
   self.scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
   self.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
   self.scrollView.scrollsToTop = NO;
 }

- (void) willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
  {
    currentPageOffset = [self.scrollView contentOffset].x / [self.scrollView bounds].size.width;
    if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(toInterfaceOrientation))
    {
         for(int i=0;i<=2;i++)
         {
            UIView *currentView = [[self.scrollView subviews] objectAtIndex:i];
            [currentView setFrame:CGRectMake((i)*currentView.frame.size.height, 0,    [self.scrollView bounds].size.height,[self.scrollView bounds].size.width)];
    }

    [self.scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.scrollView.bounds.size.height *3, self.scrollView.bounds.size.width)];

     }
     else
     {
          for(int i=0;i<=2;i++)
          {
              UIView *currentView = [[self.scrollView subviews] objectAtIndex:i];
              [currentView setFrame:CGRectMake((i)*currentView.frame.size.height, 0,[self.scrollView bounds].size.height,[self.scrollView bounds].size.width)];
          }

          [self.scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.scrollView.bounds.size.height * 3, self.scrollView.bounds.size.width)];
     }
   }
   - (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
     {
         [self.scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake([self.scrollView bounds].size.width * currentPageOffset, 0.0f) animated:NO];
     }

You can try this code. The values used are tweakable based on your requirement. If you try to set the frame on your own with rotations make sure that you dont use the autoresizing mask or else everything can go wrong. Hope that answers to your question.

Trump says he will meet with Schumer 'ASAP' after border visit
By Jim Hayek July 22, 2019
President Trump on Sunday tweeted he will set up a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) "ASAP" after the senator visited the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Senator Chuck Schumer has finally gone to the Southern Border with some Democrat Senators. This is a GREAT thing! Nearby, he missed a large group of Illegal Immigrants trying to enter the USA illegally. They wildly rushed Border Patrol. Some Agents were badly injured," Trump tweeted.
"Based on the comments made by Senator Schumer, he must have seen how dangerous & bad for our Country the Border is. It is not a "manufactured crisis," as the Fake News Media & their Democrat partners tried to portray. He said he wants to meet. I will set up a meeting ASAP!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019
Schumer is leading a group of about a dozen Senate Democrats on a visit to the border to see detention facilities.
Several House Democrats recently went on a tour of facilities and came back sharing details of inhumane and unsanitary conditions.
Vice President Pence later led a congressional delegation to the border and shared a different experience, thanking border officials for their "compassionate work."

Jennifer's Body Blu-ray Review
by Casimir Harlow Dec 31, 2009
Review Specs Discussion (1)
Jennifer's Body Blu-ray (2013)
Jennifer's Body comes to Blu-ray presented with a solid 1080p High Definition rendition in the movie's original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 widescreen. Detail is spot on, clarity resounding with no signs of digital defects despite the fact that this transfer has clearly had some significant DNR work done on it, and grain is kept to a minimum, only coming across as unintentional in a few sparse instances. The colour scheme is often quite sombre, to reflect the black nature of the narrative, but there are a few instances where a wider range is required and this presentation stands up when necessary. Skin tones are accurately represented, including the title star's own varying pallor, and black levels - commonplace in this feature - are superior, allowing for excellent night sequences. This may not be a big Hollywood blockbuster, and consequently may not have the kind of material you need to showcase your equipment with, but it is a solid presentation nonetheless, and it makes the film look superb.
The film also gets a stomping soundtrack, of the DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio variety. Dialogue, which is all-important in a Diablo Cody film, gets clear and coherent presentation, predominantly emanating from the front and centre channels. Effects are quite punchy too, allowing the surrounds to do a surprising amount of work, particularly when things get more exciting on-screen. This is not exactly an effects-laden Hollywood blockbuster action movie, but with enough attention paid to the material on offer, we still end up with a superior track that will definitely surprise viewers. The score is arguably the high point of the whole affair, and is populated with well-picked song tracks (including a litany of Emo/Indie offerings from Dashboard Confessional, Florence and the Machine and Diablo Cody favourite, Hole) which are also all presented extremely well and, in return, give us some noticeable bass. This is not a benchmark affair, nor one which can really be used to show off your equipment with, but it is still a prime example of bringing us the absolute best that the format can offer - even on a non-blockbuster release.
This release comes packed with a bunch of decent extras. Not only do we get both the Theatrical and Unrated versions, but we also get a different Audio Commentary track for each of them. The Theatrical version comes with a Commentary by the Director Karyn Kusama and Diablo Cody herself, whilst the Unrated version just has the Director contributing. Although both tracks offer up information that fans will want to know, I cannot - in any way - advocate your sitting through the Director-only one. Not only is she far less interesting by herself, but she pops up for scant few tracks across the duration, and there is just no point in sitting through the entire Director's Cut again for 30 minutes' of Commentary peppered throughout. If, however, you do, you will find that the majority of her comments come during the scenes where there have been some changes between the cuts, and offers some insight into why the changes were made - helpful when many of the changes are very difficult to notice. The Theatrical Commentary is much easier to digest, and more interesting in its observations on the concepts that they tried to put forward during this movie. I still can't see how these two women can sit there and try and justify the lesbian kiss as being far more meaningful than just sheer titillation. There's nothing wrong with it, it's a particularly engaging part of the movie, but there is absolutely no point in trying to dress it up as more than it is. In the revealing comments strewn across this Commentary it becomes apparent that the Director and Writers' intentions for the movie were much more than what comes across to the viewers, and perhaps that is one of the biggest flaws in the production.
Next up we get a selection of Deleted Scenes, entitled Dead Boys, Jennifer Check is Gross, Needy Confronts Jennifer, Who's Cindy Crawford?, Needy faces the Band and Ass, Gas or Grass. It's fourteen minutes' of extra footage, but there is really nothing special here, most of it amounting to extended scenes, as well as a couple of all-new sequences. The Needy Confronts Jennifer segment in the shower room has some interesting dialogue on offer and could have thus been left in, but the rest is all basically watch-once stuff. The 5 minute Gag Reel is not particularly funny, just the cast members laughing at their own jokes.
Jennifer's Body: The Dead Pool is fourteen minute long Making-Of Documentary that features insightful comments from the main cast and crew looking at the messages and undercurrents throughout the production. Diablo Cody, Megan Fox and the Director are all very honest in their comments, even if their intentions are far more honourable than the end result captures. This is quite a solid Making-Of, eschewing final film footage in favour of some interesting behind the scenes footage, some storyboarding excerpts and the aforementioned soundbites.
We get Video Diaries from Megan Fox and Johnny Simmons, as well as Amanda Seyfried, Diablo Cody herself, and Dan Dubiecki, each just lasting a few minutes, but at least showing the cast and crew in something closer to their natural state. Most of the diaries (and most of the extras) focus on the 'Pool Scene', which allows an interesting backdrop, but these are really very fluffy diaries.
The Megan Fox is HOT segment is a stupid, out of place minute-long promo for all the sexy things Fox does in the movie. Surely this goes against everything the Director and Writer set out to satirise with their production?
Megan 'Peer Pressure' PSA is just forty seconds of Fox providing quite a funny, f-bomb-tastic anti-peer-pressure mock-campaign ad. Far more in-line with the production than the HOT segment.
'Life After Film School' from the Fox Movie Channel features Writer Diablo Cody giving three film students a 26 minute interview and 'class' about filmmaking. Interesting for all those budding filmmakers out there.
Finally we get a Digital Copy of the superior Extended Cut.
Jennifer's Body is far more than what it seems on the face of things - it is more than just another teen horror featuring the gorgeous chica Megan Fox. But with Diablo Cody behind the script, I suspect audience members were hoping for something profoundly insightful, and for those unfamiliar with her work there was probably a hope for just pure entertainment. The end result rides an uncomfortable line between the two, mixing gore and shocks with very black humour, but not succeeding to either scare or enlighten. Still, there is more to this than just teen frivolity, and the film has a very interesting concept, even if it fails to live up to the promising potential this offers. On Blu-ray we get both versions of the movie, both presented with superb video and audio, as well as a bunch of decent HD extras that should please fans. If you liked this movie at the cinema, then this is the release to own, but newcomers should consider it a rental as its strange mix of Peanut Butter and Jam may not be to everybody's tastes.

Q: Optimal probability distribution with no knowledge about the base rates If we have absolutely no knowledge about the base rates (maybe except for the number of possible outcomes), what is the most accurate probability distribution to assume, is it uniform?
Here is a practical example. I don't know whether the Universe is real or I am just living in a simulation. In either case, my observations would be exactly the same. Furthermore, I haven't got the slightest clue (let's assume for the sake of the question that I don't) about the probability of the existence of a simulation, or the probability of the existence of a universe like ours, or the number of each. Also, a simulation does not necessarily have to occur in a universe with the same physical laws - as far as I know, in the underlying universe even the laws of logic might be so different that 1 + 1 equals 3.
Note that this question is not about philosophy, it is about the probabilities.

A: Sounds like you might want the Principle of Maximum Entropy (Wikipedia link; the article is worth reading). According to this principle, you should indeed choose the uniform distribution if you have absolutely no knowledge. But if there are some constraints which have to be satisfied, then the principle might lead to some other distribution, for example the Boltzmann distribution of statistical mechanics.
One example of the principle being applied in statistics is the (fairly popular) exponential random graph model.


Using Reiki for love and achievement of goal is one of the most important reasons that people want to know details of learning Reiki.
While it is true that we can use Reiki for attaining all our objectives related to love and achievement of goals, it is not true that it can be done in a quick-fix or in any short cut method.
This is so because there is no magical key or the symbol that can achieve a specific desire overnight. Traditional Reiki had only four symbols which were used for purposes that were nobler. They aimed at increasing love, peace and harmony in the environment. And so they are bound to work.
However it is a materialistic world now. With more emphasis on satisfying needs of self consumption, we find more emphasis on making money and gains, with the result that there is an increased intolerance in the world and a definite deterioration of relationships too.
Therefore, for those seeking to learn using Reiki for love and achievement of goal there is only one formula - practice Reiki sincerely for a number of days, make it a part of your life and only then will you see the changes taking place around you.
A Reiki master with a noble heart can do it on your behalf too, but you need to ask for Reiki and affirm as guided by the master.
Remember there are no shortcuts, magical symbols, formulae or charms. Only a change from within can bring about positive results.
Make very positive affirmations - give a deliberate thought and be positive.
Think of overall good - only when you let go small things in life and think of overall good of everyone in the environment around you, can you think of any improvement in relationships.
Learn to manifest - manifestation is a very powerful technique that can get you what you want and bring all make all your desires come true. For learning manifestation you can contact me HERE.
Theta Healing can yield instantaneous results as it affects changes at all levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The speed at which it heals can be most dramatic as changes occur on the Core, Genetic, past life as well as Soul level.
It helps in clearing limiting and negative beliefs from their root cause by programming the mind. This affects our interpretations, thoughts and reactions in a way that inevitably affect our physical health emotional well being and. It thus enables us to lead a harmonious and fulfilling life. Theta healing can enable us to live to our full potential.
Negative beliefs and limiting thoughts that are stored in our subconscious mind have a profound disempowering effect in our lives. While most of us try to consciously think positive we continuously encounter patterns, experiences, and circumstances that prove to be counterproductive to our happiness and progress. This happens because of the beliefs that are stored deep into the subconscious mind create blocks that barricade you from attracting and creating what you desire.
Theta healing involves replacing negative feelings and beliefs, and programming the subconscious mind with positive ones. It involves identifying the root cause of various types of issues and allowing the connected memories around those events to be released and healed.
These changes in belief systems can positively affect mental and emotional feelings that have a visible effect in the overall health of the physical body.
When positive beliefs and feelings replace the negative ones at the subconscious level, it can lead to a quantum physical change in life.
However, Theta Healing is only done on free will and choice; therefore it also requires a client acceptance.
A Theta healing practitioner enters a meditative state and connects with the seventh aura layer that connects to the deep seated memories and replaces the limiting beliefs with beneficial ones.
This can be done remotely and clients can experience positive changes after just one session. However, all cases are not alike and the frequency and number of sessions would depend upon the amount of negative belief attached to your subconscious mind.
If you want to experience the positive power of Theta Healing and feel lighter and happier, book a session HERE.
You are sure to see the positive change in you and ask for more.


My research interests are in model-based software and systems engineering, in mining software repositories and communities to extract actionable insights, and in technologies for persisting and analysing large volumes of heterogeneous data.
Model-based software engineering (MBSE) is the practice of raising models to first-class artefacts of the software engineering process, using such models to analyse, simulate and reason about properties of the system under development, and eventually often auto-generate a part of its implementation.
MBSE brings and adapts well-understood and long-established principles and practices of trustworthy systems engineering to software engineering (it is unthinkable to start constructing e.g. a bridge or an aircraft without designing and analysing several models of it first) and is used extensively in organisations that produce business- or safety-critical software (e.g. in the aerospace, automotive and robotics industries), where defects can have catastrophic effects (e.g. loss of life) or can be very expensive to remedy (e.g. large scale product recall). MBSE is also increasingly used for non-critical systems due to the productivity and consistency benefits (largely through automated code generation) it delivers (e.g. JHipster for microservice architectures).
I have authored many highly-cited peer-reviewed papers on topics related to MBSE and I am leading the development of the Epsilon open-source MBSE platform under the Eclipse Foundation, which has a wide user base, including engineers at organisations such as NASA, IBM, BAE Systems and THALES. I am on the Program Committee of the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, and I have been the Technical Director of a large European Commission project (MONDO, €2.67M) which investigated techniques for scaling up MBSE technologies for very large systems. I am currently involved in knowledge transfer projects with Rolls-Royce, Smith & Nephew and IBM which aim at applying the results of our MBSE research on problems of interest to our industry partners.
The need for levels of availability and scalability beyond those supported by relational databases has led to the emergence of a new generation of purpose-specific databases grouped under the term NoSQL. In general, NoSQL databases are designed with horizontal scalability as a primary concern and deliver increased availability and fault-tolerance at a cost of temporary inconsistency and reduced durability of data. To balance the requirements for data consistency and availability, organisations increasingly migrate towards hybrid data persistence architectures comprising both relational and NoSQL databases. The consensus is that this trend will only become stronger in the future; critical data will continue to be stored in ACID (predominately relational) databases while non-critical data will be progressively migrated to high-availability NoSQL databases.
TYPHON is a European Commission H2020 project (2018-2020, €4.4M), of which I am the Technical Director, which aims to provide a methodology and an integrated technical offering for designing, developing, querying and evolving scalable architectures for persistence, analytics and monitoring of large volumes of hybrid (relational, graph-based, document-based, natural language etc.) data.
TYPHON brings together research partners with a long track record of conducting internationally-leading research on software modelling, domain-specific languages, text mining and data migration, and of delivering research results in the form of robust and widely-used open-source software, industrial partners active in the automotive, earth observation, banking, and motorway operation domains, an industrial advisory board of world-class experts in the fields of databases, business intelligence and analytics, and large-scale data management, and a global consortium including more than 400 organisations from all sectors of IT.
Deciding whether an open source software (OSS) product or component meets the required standards for adoption in terms of quality, maturity, activity of development and user support is not a straightforward process. It involves exploring various sources of information including its source code repositories to identify how actively the code is developed, which programming languages are used, how well the code is commented, whether there are unit tests etc., communication channels such as newsgroups, forums and mailing lists to identify whether user questions are answered in a timely and satisfactory manner, to estimate the number of experts and users of the software, its bug tracking system to identify whether the software has many open bugs and at which rate bugs are fixed, and other relevant metadata such as the number of downloads, the license(s) under which it is made available, its release history etc.
Having been involved in open-source software development for more than a decade, I have developed an interest in automatically analysing software repositories and communities to guide and support future software development. I was the Technical Director of OSSMETER (2011-14, €2.7M), a European Commission FP7 project that developed a platform for incremental analysis of source code repositories, bug trackers and communication channels, to support decision makers in the process of discovering, comparing, assessing and monitoring the health, quality, impact and activity of open-source software.
I am currently a principal investigator in a follow-up project (CROSSMINER, 2017-20, €4.4M) which is investigating techniques for mining information from different sources and making it available within the Eclipse IDE. CROSSMINER builds on the results of OSSMETER and is the driving force behind the new Eclipse SCAVA project, where I am a committer.

Q: Phpunit and Webdriver(Selenium2) - Can I run tests without selenium server like other languages? I'm using phpunit/phpunit-selenium for ui functional testing.
 I followed this brochure phpunit-selenium on github
So far,I have to run the selenium standalone server as a http proxy, while I want to operate the browser directly  like Java.
Java code:
WebDriver diver = new FirefoxDriver();

but i didn't find a class named WebDriver in phpunit-selenium code.
Could anybody show me a code sample in PHP ,thanks

A: Edit: I misunderstood your question.
I guess facebook php-webdriver can help you.
Search something like 'facebook php webdriver example' and you can find code examples.
Old:
Test of Phpunit Selenium on Github there are some examples.
And there are examples in  official manual.

Q: Any news about a Grooveshark scope for the Music lens? It would be fantastic to have the ability to search for and select music from my Grooveshark account right there within the Dash.
I was under the impression this scope would be created during the Ubuntu App Developer Week (Sept. 5th-9th).  It was listed in the agenda --->> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2011/09/01/ubuntu-11-10-development-update-9/
Has anyone seen this loose in the wild yet?

A: Yes!  To install the Grooveshark lens in Unity open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and enter the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-scope-grooveshark

Found on http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/grooveshark-scope-for-unity-music-lens.html
"David Callé has released a Grooveshark scrope for the Unity Music lens which lets you search for music on Grooveshark from Dash. The new scope uses the free Grooveshark API and clicking on a search result opens a new tab in your default browser, playing the selected song.
According to David, there are a few known issues though, such as:

*

*the results open in different tabs and aren't enqueued

*results in the local collection are not deduplicated

*some searches don't display any results due to some encoding errors

*sometimes cover art isn't displayed the first time you search for something"

Thanks to Andrew and David

Faye Marks, solicitor in Lyons Davidson's Clinical Negligence team, looks at new laws on pharmacy dispensing errors.
After a long-running campaign from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS), a new law on dispensing errors came into force on 16 April 2018. The Pharmacy (Preparation and Dispensing Errors – Registered Pharmacies) Order 2018 introduces new legal defences to prevent the automatic criminalisation of inadvertent dispensing errors made by registered pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, bringing pharmacists in line with other healthcare professionals.
According to the RPS, pharmacy professionals report various reasons as to why they find it difficult to report and learn from mistakes. It is estimated that around 20 per cent of under-reporting is due to fear of criminal prosecution.
It is expected that removing the fear of criminal prosecution for inadvertent dispensing errors will help improve patient safety by encouraging a more open culture of reporting such errors, including 'near misses', where pharmacy professionals feel able to report, discuss and learn from mistakes, thus preventing the same errors from occurring in the future.
The legislation currently only applies to registered pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in registered pharmacies and does not apply to pharmacists working in non-registered premises, such as hospital pharmacies or prisons. The RPS is campaigning to ensure that a similar change will soon apply in those and other settings.
