Q: Is it possible to process images using GPU in OpenCV So, i got from my university a python related task.
we need to get s a set of images (from a folder), and then resize them as fast as possible. so i manage to do it using cv2 resize option. but, apparently we can do it a lot faster using the GPU. but unfortenally i was unable to find the best way to do it with the openCV module.
i found this code, but it isn't openCV realted.
import numpy as np
from timeit import default_timer as timer
from numba import vectorize

@vectorize(['float32(float32, float32)'], target='cuda')
def pow(a, b):
    return a ** b

def main():
    vec_size = 100000000

    a = b = np.array(np.random.sample(vec_size), dtype=np.float32)
    c = np.zeros(vec_size, dtype=np.float32)

    start = timer()
    c = pow(a, b)
    duration = timer() - start

    print(duration)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

EDIT:
i found something called "UMat" what's the benefits of using it?
i tried to use in im my code in this way:
image = cv2.UMat(cv2.resize(image, (0, 0), fx=0.5, fy=0.5)) # Resize image by half

A: Yes, you can use GPU module in OpenCV, but unfortunately only in C++. There is no wrapper for Python.
Solutions:

*

*Use C++ cuda API

*Use different library for GPU computing in Python e.g. Pillow SIMD

in practice, in all probability, you will emerge victorious.
If you want to become a good communicator, you have to bear in mind that you should never use sentences which do not have any meaning. All that you say should have some purpose, because purposeless talk is idle talk. In order to make your communication effective you must choose your words carefully. Simple and concise words endear you to the listeners who are attentive and listen to whatever you speak. You should never use words which appear to be new and out of place. They should sound real and must appeal directly to senses. There is a famous quote—"Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments". If you describe an event to illustrate a point, do not try to skip it and tell the whole story for good communication. If you tell it successfully even in brief, it will get your point across. Here the question which may arise is—"How to make even a real event look convincing?" The answer is very simple. Only those words will sound convincing which can present the facts in a simple and direct way. "The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts." Always choose your language according to the exigency of the situation and use only those words which match your audience. Never get elaborate in your expression, because it will result in loss of interest. People's loss of interest in you will not serve your purpose, because vagueness may lead to misunderstanding or confusion. If you have got a tendency to use elaborate language, try to overcome it by practice. Practise your words aloud and try to find out whether those are the words you use in your conversation with friends. If you find out that you are using some words you generally do not use, avoid them.


I remember seeing Finding Nemo at the cinema with my dad, and it's the second cinema trip I ever remember going to, after The Grinch. It was my first time experiencing a slushie, and also the first time experiencing a sugar high. This time, I saw Finding Dory by myself, but I think my dad would have loved it as much as I did.
Finding Dory is set 1 year after the events of Finding Nemo, as Dory, a blue tang fish with short term memory loss, remembers her lost parents and sets out to find them. It takes her to the marine life institute in California where she meets a host of new friends such as Hank the 7 armed octopus and Destiny the short sighted whale shark.
When I first heard about the sequel, I was skeptical. So many films these days seem to be sequels to beloved classics in a quick cash grab. The premise of the main characters searching for their lost family member sounded like it would be a rehash of the original Finding Nemo, but Finding Dory gave a strong delivery and would work well as it's own stand alone film.
We do get to meet previous friends of the franchise, as the previous main characters Marlin and Nemo join Dory on her adventure, as well as Nemo's teacher and school friends and the current riding sea turtles. It's a nice nod to popular characters without taking up much screen time or diverting the plot.
Finding Dory also brings something new to the franchise, something that Pixar always excel at. It brings us baby Dory. The cutest, most adorable fish who's eyes take up 80% of her face. The flashbacks with baby Dory and her parents are heartwarming and really bring that feel good family feeling. Think of the Up! opening montage, but 100 times cuter and dispersed throughout the film.
I'm not going to lie, I was close to tears at several of the flashback scenes, and actually cried by the end of the movie. Tears of pure joy and relief. The entire film was an emotional rollercoaster to be honest. The plot feels almost predictable but then Pixar throws a curveball and you don't really know if things will go the way you think they will, but you're praying that they will. At least I did.
Perhaps I'm a little close to the franchise, and most people might not react as strongly as I did. But I came in with low expectations and I left with satisfaction of getting things I didn't even know I wanted from the film. For families and anyone who likes animated films, it's a no brainer.
There are however a few niggles, but non big enough to dampen my enjoyment of the film. I saw it in 3D which added nothing to the film and continues, in my opinion, to simply be a gimmick that won't go away. If you plan on seeing the film, I recommend seeing it in 2D.

US Universities Brace for Big Decline in International Enrollment
Universities preparing for big declines in international enrollment and revenues will be further depressed by a federal decision to strip students of their visa status if they do not attend college and university in person this fall. "Active students currently in the United States enrolled in such programs must depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction, to remain in lawful status," stated the FILE – Graduating seniors of Brophy College Preparatory wait their turn to walk down the aisle to the stage individually during Diploma Days due to the coronavirus in Phoenix, Arizona, May 28, 2020."This is terrifying," tweeted Aaron Kirkpatrick from Northern Ireland, a Ph.D. candidate at Baylor University in Texas. "I couldn't go home to renew the F1 because embassies are shut due to the pandemic. If I'm made to leave, I'll likely not be allowed reentry again." In May, a report from the FILE – A student takes classes online with his companions using the Zoom app at home.Soo Hyun Kim, a South Korean international student at George Mason University, says he plans to take courses fully online from South Korea because there are still potential dangers of the coronavirus and because he feels he will not be able to experience U.S. life to the full extent. "Some reasons as to why international students go to U.S. universities is because they want to experience American education, culture and social life," he told VOA."My parents are afraid because the cases are still growing, but they understand that the college is making an effort to have a better and safe environment," said Vitor Lacerda Siqueira, a Brazilian international student at Stetson University in Florida. The physics major said he plans to return to campus this fall."As I have laboratory classes and choir, the education I get from an online format is not the best I can have," the incoming sophomore said. "Also, the bad connection I have at home makes it hard for me to access the content. I would prefer to request a leave of absence than having online classes again." Plummeting revenues The anticipated decline in foreign students is also expected to have a huge financial toll on U.S. higher education. International students comprise 5% of higher education enrollment in the United States, according to a study done by the FILE – A sign on the empty campus of Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, March 11, 2020.Additionally, those coming from outside of the U.S. for higher education opportunities receive less financial aid than domestic students. A FILE – University student Piera Gerry is back home with her parents where she continues her studies online after schools closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, in Berkhamsted, England, April 5, 2020.London Economics released a report on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university finances in April and stated that Britain would see a reduction of approximately 14,000 students for the upcoming academic year. Canada, which has been more attractive to some international students than the U.S. because of its easier immigration pathway, is also expecting the number of international students to decline because of the pandemic. The Royal Bank of Canada reported in a study last month that new international student permits dropped by 45% this March and stated travel restrictions and visa-processing delays would likely slow international student arrivals in the future. A report from the Australian Population Research Institute said thousands of student visa holders are likely to defer or delay their studies in Australia, limiting overseas student revenue for Australian universities. The international education sector contributed $39 billion to the Australian economy in 2019, according to Universities Australia, a higher education advocacy group.The continual growth of international students studying in the United States contributed $41 billion and supported 458,290 jobs to the U.S. economy during the 2018-2019 academic year, according to NAFSA. The United States hit an all-time high of 1,095,299 international students, mostly from China, in 2019, according to the Institute of International Education. But the rate of growth showed flattening for two years prior. "With a global competition for talent, we must ensure that students feel safe and can attain the best education and experience possible here in the United States. Unfortunately, this administration continues to enact policies which only increase the barriers to studying here, and that's a serious concern," Brimmer of NAFSA stated. "At a time when new international student enrollment is in decline, our nation risks losing global talent with new policies that hurt us academically and economically."

So then where did the Bible actually come from? Or, perhaps better, what process led to the development of the contents of the Bible as we know them today? Typically, historians suggest two standards that influenced how early Christians came to give priority to some books over others as the New Testament canon came into shape, though neither of these elements ever functioned with the precision of agreed-upon criteria.
David Lose: Where Did the Bible Come From?.
I don't believe in inerrancy, but inspiration – and while the canon is inspired, it is not inerrant. The Protestant Canon is missing a few books, and they are all missing the Psalms of Solomon.

1995 - One of the oldest designs in the collection is the Softlamp for Droog Design. It has turned out to be a timeless design, which is still very much in production even after 20 years. Only the light source that is provided has changed over time: from tradition lightbulb, to a more energy-efficient version, to an even more energy-efficient LED lamp. In his search for forgotten techniques in the middle of the 90's, Arian came in contact with a dip molder. It turned that the technique was only being used at the time for technical components. The Softlamp was the first product being made with this technique for the interior design market.
Thanks to its glossy exterior, the lamp has a ceramic quality, but it is soft and supple to the touch. The electricity cord seems to flow naturally into the socket and then towards the shade. By using a special dipping paste, it was possible to create a warm colored translucency. This was a new – and beautiful quality of the dipping material, which later proved a great advantage when it softened the usually cold and harsh light of energy-efficient and LED lamps in the Softlamp. The Softlamp has been included in the collections of various museums, including the NewYork Moma, the San Fransisco Moma and the Centraal Museum Utrecht.

Q: Angular material , to select mat-list-option and show the respective data of the selected mat-list-option When the user hovers over the first column of the table , a tooltip comes up which has a button at the bottom.
On click of the button, angular mat-dialog opens up which has the first column data on the left hand side of the mat-dialog.
I need to achieve 2 things
1) On the left hand side of mat-dialog, mat-list-option should be selected by default depending on whichever row user hovered upon and clicked on its tooltip button.
2) The right hand side of the mat-dialog needs to be populated with "conditionals","offset","alert" property data related to mat-list-option selected on the left hand side.
Eg: In table user had hovered on 1 min data(under Alert column) and clicks on the button once the tooltip opens , in the mat-dialog 1 min data row should be selected and on right hand side its respective "conditionals","offset","alert" data should load , so accordingly depending on the selected mat-list-option its respective "conditionals" data should load.
I already have enforced only one mat-list-option can be selected at a time
alert-dialog.component.html

LEFT

            <mat-selection-list #preDefAlertList>
                <mat-list-option *ngFor="let preDef of data.data" [value]="preDef">
                  {{preDef.Alert}}
                </mat-list-option>
            </mat-selection-list>

Edit JSON

            {{preDef.conditionals | json}}

tooltip-overview-example.component.ts has the table and data is being passed on to alert-dialog.component.ts once user clicks on the button present in tooltip.
Stackblitz link
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-mat-tooltip-rzstlk?file=app%2Ftooltip-overview-example.ts

A: First, in the left hand list, you have to set the selected value of the mat-selection-list binding it to your model: [(ngModel)]="incomingSelectedAlert".
Then in the mat-list-options use the index as the value for the list item: let i = index" [value]="i" and highlight the selected item setting its class: [ngClass]="i==incomingSelectedAlert ? 'selected-option' : ''"
That way the whole mat-selection-list looks like this:
<mat-selection-list #preDefAlertList [(ngModel)]="incomingSelectedAlert">
  <mat-list-option *ngFor="let preDef of data.data; let i = index" [value]="i"
    [ngClass]="i==incomingSelectedAlert ? 'selected-option' : ''">
      {{preDef.Alert}}
    </mat-list-option>
</mat-selection-list>

Add the selected option style in the CSS-file:
.selected-option {
  background-color: yellow;
}

Back in the template file, simply change the source of the right hand JSON data so that it always shows the selected items conditionals:

  {{data.data[incomingSelectedAlert].conditionals | json}}

As you can see you almost had it. I forked and made the changes to your Stackblitz here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-mat-tooltip-pjq4ve.
Update
Based on your comments I made this other Stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-mat-tooltip-fhh3gr
The mat-list-options value comes now from the items id property: <mat-list-option *ngFor="let preDef of data.data" [value]="preDef.id".
And to get the conditionals it calls a method:

    {{getSelectedConditionals() | json}}

in the model:
getSelectedConditionals() {
   return this.data.data.find(x => x.id == this.incomingSelectedAlert).conditionals;
}

I just love exploring the back roads in the rural areas, I always find something interesting. My latest painting is based on a photo that resulted from one of those days of exploration.
"The Old Road to the Old Shed"
I found the inspiration for this painting on a piece of the Historic Old Lincoln Highway on the outskirts of Wanship, Utah. The photo gave me the general idea but I had to make many modifications to make it a good painting. The actual shed was metal, not wood and didn't have the opening in front. There was also a lot of uninteresting clutter in front of the shed, the actual fence wasn't very interesting either. There wasn't an actual road in the scene but rather the edge of a gravel parking area that gave me the idea to put a road in.
Luckily a fisherman wandered into view and cast his line while I was still doing the pen drawing so I could add him for scale, though I think I made him a tad large.
I almost didn't post this sketch because there are so many errors in it, but the reason I sketch isn't to create a masterpiece. Sketching from life is all about improving your observation and drawing skills.
The main path along side the river.
I took some liberties with this scene as well. The fence that was actually there was made from lumber and was much more straight. The background field is actually a road and a house beyond that. One thing I learned while doing this sketch is that this tree, being dome shaped got lighter as you got closer to the top, that's not true of all trees since most of them still have portions that are largely vertical even near the top. Just as I finished this sketch the rain clouds made another appearance, I just escaped getting soaked again. I think both of these tree sketches have potential as paintings.
I used to often share photos in this blog and realized that I haven't done that in a while so here are some photos I took today of some of our fair feathered friends..
This is the Weber River just outside of Wanship. As you can see I used pen and watercolor. You might also deduce that I'm not really a watercolorist, I tend to use similar techniques as I use when painting with acrylics. For me sketching isn't about creating a finished piece worth bragging about, it's about practice and learning about the subject. Sketching is also very fun and usually very relaxing, almost meditative. I think I learn as much about the subject by making a sketch like this as I would if I attempted to make a plein air painting on location and it took about 1/3 as much time or less. Sketching also requires much less equipment and is much less hassle. I still think painting outdoors is worth doing but sketching is a less stressful and useful alternative.
I really wanted to sketch a farm, barn or shed or something along those lines but most every scene I found wasn't convenient for parking and setting up to sketch. I finally settled on this sheep ranch in Coalville. Not exactly an ideal subject but the cobbled together structures made for some interest, this could make a good background for a tractor painting.
I just finished another small studio painting, this one based on a photo I took while hiking in the Wasatch Mountains in Northern Utah, Big Cottonwood Canyon to be more exact. I love the trails we have that fall the run off creeks somewhat closely because I really enjoy encountering scenes like this one, hence the title.

SDGs and the Rule of Law: the need to globalize the ethics of legal tech
Posted February 17, 2020 by Kristin B. Sandvik & filed under Law and Ethics
In the context of the rapid adoption and integration of legal technology at a global level, this blog post will problematize the consequences of the bias of current discussions on the ethics of legal tech in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs strongly emphasize the importance of the rule of law as a basis for development. While there is a fast-growing literature on the ethics of legal tech, this literature, and the problems identified and discussed, are problems characteristic of the U.S legal system. No attention is given to issues specifically relevant for the SDGs. This blog post maps out an initial set of issues for critical discussion.

The rise of legal tech – and of new risks
The rise of 'legal tech' refers broadly to the use of technology, software and computer analytics to provide legal services and justice. Legal tech produces important changes in the legal practice, legal institutions and in the legal profession. While the legal field is premised on technology (clay tablets, alphabets, paper, the printing press), processes of digitization shape our understanding of legal problems and what is considered appropriate legal responses in new ways. Digitization refers to the collection, conversion, storage, and sharing of data and the use of digital technologies (e.g., mobiles, tablets, drones, biometric devices, computational applications in artificial intelligence, bespoke digital platforms and blockchain technology etc.,) to collect, analyze and disseminate information about claimants and plaintiffs, judge history, case law and emergent legal problems. Legal tech constitutes disruptive innovation because it shifts the time, cost and scope of knowledge production and management in law.
The U.S is home to most of the legal tech start up industry – and has been for decades. As a starting point, it makes sense to think about legal tech as part of the larger project which legal anthropologist Laura Nader has called 'The Americanization of international law'. According to its promulgators, the rise of legal tech entails potential extensions of lawyering role through the transformation of legal practitioners into data brokers as well as the rise of new hybrid professions, such as legal knowledge engineer or legal technologist. This is a theory of change espousing optimistic and frequently Utopian claims about the capacity of technology to improve legal practice, make it more affordable and accessible and lower the price of legal services. This approach is premised on a strong technological determinism: technology will work and work as intended without too many unforeseen consequences. This type of legal-tech change theory belongs to the broader category of technological Utopianism, which regards technological progress as inevitable, apolitical, and problem-free and considers technology as a vehicle for achieving a 'perfect' society in the near future.
Legal tech constitutes disruptive innovation because it shifts the time, cost and scope of knowledge production and management in law.
While the introduction of new technology may – finally – transform a conservative legal field, it also creates new forms of digital risk and new possibilities for digital harm to for lawyers and law firms, but also for their clients as well as for the citizen-users of financial services or government platforms. These risks and harms are frequently categorized as cyber security and/or due process/rule of law issues. However, legal technology is not neutral. Nor is it apolitical. Risk and bias matters: in the context of global dissemination, the rise of legal technology represents an unprecedented challenge to privacy, confidentiality and the rule of law. Small technical decisions in the design and implementation can create ripple effects with respect to the direct and distributive effects (on domestic legal cultures) of legal technology, particularly due to the potential for rapid and unreflective uptake in legal systems starved of capacity and resources.
The US bias of the legal tech literature and its implications
The academic literature on legal technology is heavily U.S -centric and focused around progress narratives about types of technology, ways legal tech can improve lawyering and how innovative legal tech may be the answer to a host of access to justice challenges. A fast-growing bifurcating legal technology ethics literature mirrors this geographic bias and deals with problems and structures characteristic of the U.S legal system.
The first prong is partly descriptive and normative – accounting for the rise of ethics issues related to technology, and the growing normative framework around professional standards demarcating a duty of technological competence – as well as identifying new forms of malpractice. Important topics includes change in the lawyer-client relationships, in particular in relation to duty of care and due diligence for protection of confidentiality and against intrusion; competence in e-discovery and responsibility for the organization of services. This also involves due diligence responsibility for 'non-lawyer' assistance, cyber security protection and vendor provision of cloud computing services. Attention has also been given to evolving norms addressing lawyer and judge use and abuse of social media, tweeting, Facebook and blogging social media in court and beyond.
The second and more critical branch of the ethics literature takes as its point of departure the tension between regulation of the legal profession and the means and methods and objectives of disruptive innovation. This concerns the ethical issues arising for clients but also with respect to how legal tech challenges the ethics of the legal profession on an everyday and systemic level. This second strand is highly critical of the so-called 'legal futurists'—tech evangelists who promulgate the inevitability and advantages of a technologized approach to lawyering— and argue that they fail to properly understand the responsibilities of the legal profession, that the underlying perspective on technology is too optimistic, that they promulgate 'bad' values by uncritically adopting the sales points of big tech and legal tech, that they underplay the ethics challenge at hand, and that they mix academic work and stuff they want to sell in a problematic manner (for example here, here, and here).
In the context of the rapid adoption and integration of legal technology at a global level, the geographic bias of both advocates and critics means the uptake of legal technology in jurisdictions elsewhere (and in particular in the Global South) and the particular ethics issues that might arise have been given little – if any – critical attention. Much of the existing technology has been developed and trained on U.S data and is relevant to the rationalities, processes and values of common law systems. This means that we need a much better understanding of the costs and trade offs arising from the transplantation of legal tech and the potential ramifications for the realizations of the SDGs. What follows is an initial scoping:
Pointers for critical reflection
The digital divide: Key challenges involve the persistence of a digital divide between nations, regions and demographics (class, gender, ethnicity) with respect to access to ICT, in terms of limited infrastructure for connectivity, inability to afford gadgets or the data power, software and cyber security protections required for using legal tech safely and effectively – or limitations due to heavily controlled/censored access to the internet or specific software. This also includes attendant gaps in digital literacy leaving swaths of the population, civil society or legal profession behind with respect to the ability to critically engage with, optimize or resist the use of legal technology when accessing law and legal institutions.
Experimentation in a Global South context: There are longstanding and well-articulated concerns about the use of data in fragile and resource-poor settings: data is non-existent, incomplete or of poor quality (due to collection problems or digital shadows); data suffers from bias; effective data analysis is hampered by low levels of data literacy in the practitioner community and so forth. Following in the historical footsteps of technological imperialism, Experimental applications of ICTs and digital data are occurring in the absence of agreed normative frameworks and accepted theory to guide their ethical and responsible use. As governments are increasingly becoming sophisticated users of surveillance technology, legal tech is also becoming a site of ethical precariousness, as sensitive data flow from clients to lawyers, or individuals and organizations using gadgets, platforms and services.
Data colonialism: The question of data does not only concern data as a source of harm. It also raises the question of who owns the data? The data colonialism literature argues that digital society represents the continuation of capitalism's insatiable search for markets and labor, as well as the control of populations. Populations are trackable, monitored, commodified, and subjected to the pervasive power of corporate greed and state. Critical legal scholarship is increasingly interested in the processes of exploitation and subjectification of social life as resource for data extraction in the Global south. Legal technology appears to constitute an important part of the toolbox for this development.
Finally, the main stakeholders in the effort to globalize legal technology are market actors, not governments. Attention must be paid to how the framing of problems in the legal system of the Global south shifts to problematizations being amenable to technological innovation and intervention and the interests of technology stakeholders. This also includes focusing on agenda shaping in the legal tech context, how research on legal tech and the ethics of legal tech is funded, how expertise is constituted and who gets a seat around the table, and the politics of the interests of expertise and the motivations of academics and practitioners involved in this debate.

AP Courses vs. Dual Credit: What's Best for High School Students?
Add up the credits for Advanced Placement and other college- level courses that Jaime Staengel took in high school, and the Rockwood Summit senior has quite a head start.
She'll probably begin her freshman year of college with as many credits as some sophomores.
The academic and financial benefits made the challenging classes worth it to Staengel, who says she's happy to save herself time in college by moving into more advanced classes sooner for a major in German. And she says her parents think it's great, too.
"It's saving them money in the long run," said Staengel, who is headed to Murray State University in Kentucky.
Thousands of students across the state took Advanced Placement exams this month. Proponents of the College Board-created program hope underclassmen see success like that of Staengel and sign up. But despite efforts by Missouri's education department and area districts to increase enrollment in the courses, the state's public school students still rank among the bottom in the nation for both participation and pass rates, even though both are up in recent years.
At the same time, area universities say the number of high school students taking what's known as dual credit courses is growing rapidly and argue that those classes may offer more benefits than AP for some students.
The two approaches dual credit and AP offer competing schools of thought on helping high school students earn college credits. AP prepares students to pass an exam to prove their mastery of college- level curriculum. Dual credit in effect enrolls students in college courses while they are still in high school, allowing them to earn credit for both.
Caught in the middle are students and parents who wonder which approach produces the best payoff.
Experts say both approaches can work. When done the right way, they say, many students are able to lop off an entire year or more of college before they even get there.
"It really depends on the individual student's circumstances," said Nicole Buesse, a high school counselor at Fort Zumwalt North High School. "Both (dual credit and AP) are very good options."
But there are pitfalls to both. And that can leave students who thought they did the work without the credits that count.
Students in AP classes, for example, may find that although they passed an exam, their score isn't high enough. At some elite colleges, even the highest mark doesn't count. And while dual credit offers students a transcript proving they completed a course, it may be a transcript some colleges do not accept.
Students and parents who want to shop for the best approach may find their options are limited based simply on the school they attend.
In Missouri, a push at least at the state level is building behind AP, after years of popularity for dual enrollment. For the first time this summer, the percentage of students passing an AP exam will factor into a district's report card from the state. Although dual credit courses also are considered, AP earns a district extra points.
Missouri officials regard AP courses as a mark of a school's quality, demonstrating that it is offering students challenging options to prepare them for college.
"There is a level of rigor that's established," said Margie Vandeven, a deputy commissioner for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Meanwhile, those national rankings that schools love to boast about by publications such as Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report use AP courses as a measure of excellence.
As education experts debate the quality of college credit courses, the issue for parents and students increasingly is controlling college costs.
"This is a huge asset to making college affordable," said Gayle Rogan, director of the 1818 Advanced College Credit program at St. Louis University.


Technically this post was supposed to go out in the week between Christmas and New Year... but I forgot and it got lost amidst other things.
You would have gotten a few cliche words about making resolutions. Maybe a shoutout to the fact that they began construction in something like 1173 and how long ago that was.
If you would like to read it in German, search this: "Ihr nennt mich Meister, so fragt mich doch. / Ihr nennt mich Licht, so seht mich doch."
Actually, I have found that the German has a different ending than the "translation" and the wording is different throughout. Weird, right?
Here is an image equivalent of the above.
Hey again. Today I have an interview to share... Be sure to give her a visit and leave a comment or two!
Kate, to Allie: Hello, and welcome to majesticgoldenrose. Thanks for answering some questions for me! (to audience) Everyone give a warm welcome to Allie from Spreading My Joy.
Kate: Tell us about yourself! Like, for example, what color hair do you have?
Allie: It is brown with golden red and blonde natural highlights.
Kate: Cool. My hair is a dark brown and has a bit of a red shine since I colored it with henna. I love it :) (pauses) What is your favorite pattern?
Kate: Alright, thats a popular one. If you had to choose one, music, writing, or photography?
Allie: Photography. But I like music and writing as well.
Kate: Me too. I think music and naturey-photography are about tied for me. So my next question is if you could change your name to anything, what would you change it to?
Allie: I wouldn't change my name for the world! I have only ever known/known of one person with my name.
Kate: Yeah, I have known several girls named Alex though and its the same that there are a lot more Katelyns and Katies than Kates. I even once met a Cathyrn who went by Cayt. Weird, lol.... Anyway, dogs or cats?
Allie: Dogs! I don't really like cats. But I am slightly allergic.
Kate: Aww, thats no fun. I am a cat person and not allergic thankfully :) What is your worst pet peeve?
Allie: I don't really know. I don't like northern accents. (Sorry northerners!) Or people who are just annoying in general.
Kate: I get that. Southern accents are my favorite, but I'm stuck with a northern one since Ive lived in PA all my life.... What is your favorite animal?
Allie: I have always loved monkeys. I also love dogs.
Kate: I know right? Monkeys are pretty cool. When I went to Costa Rica for a week in November they were in the trees and we would make monkey-noises at one another. Miss that place :( Also do you have any siblings?
Allie: I have two older sisters, Sarah and Mackenzie, and a twin brother, Ethan.
Kate: Lol. I have a character in my WIP named Ethan and he is a twin too. My FMC (female main character) is named Emma though. They have a little brother named Gavin and if I dont edit her out, there is a Sophie too. What is your favorite TV show?
Kate: Alright. I dont watch TV so literally dont know what any of those are. I'm just more of a book person I guess. What books do you like to read?
Allie: Just Christian fiction I think. Is that what it's called?
Kate: Yeah. I read historical Christian if I am doing Christian, and sometimes Amish because there is always someone dying and its entertaining to watch them freak out. (Literally every book though!) I also do a bit of middle grade sci-fi/dystopian and whatever else.
Kate: Thanks for answering some questions for me. Bye for now!!
Well, looks like I did it again. This morning I kept reminding myself not to forget to post something, but clearly I did anyway. So being that it is after ten now, looks like you'll be getting today's post at 11. Sorry so late, posts will go out at 8 like usual Friday.
If I could ask you a question, do you believe that there is a Creator out there, some sort of god or eternal being? And then if you are the creation, and God is the Creator, what happens when you disagree with your Creator? Will you listen?
What I am getting at is, there is a creator of the universe and I believe that he is great and I am small. And there are things both in this world and in his Book that I never would have come up with. But my goal is that when we disagree on certain things, it is only right for me to surrender my opinions and desires to those of the eternal one. I read so much of this book that I disagree with, and we are all going to. The question becomes when you disagree with it, will you assume God is wrong or you are?
Before we get to what does this book say, if you disagree, would you still surrender to Almighty God? Thats the issue.
Are you to tell eternal, holy God how to run his world or is it up to us to study his book and act on it?
There are movements that suggest we need to learn Greek and Hebrew or study theology for years in college before we apply it.... but isnt most of the time that we cry "What does the Bible say about this" and "I dont understand that" that we are really just being stubborn and dont want to do what it says? Because I know personally that its hard to be willing to do whatever God asks, follow where ever he leads, love whoever you interact with and go above and beyond to make Christ known. It is.
You might not have liked what Ive said/implied so far, but that was me too. Growing up, my parents would take me to church sometimes, but I was against Christianity until I was 12 or so. At that point I realized there was a God and I remember praying to God him for hope and help because I had been in a very dark place. It wasn't a "I will follow you" prayer, but it was an acknowledgement that there was a god and I wanted him in my life. Step one, being humble. Then a year later, I was more ready to trust him and started making changes in my life. You know, not *saying* I repent, but deciding to live it out.
Its interesting because before that, I hadn't spent time in Sunday school class or some little program to learn scripture. So when I found God I didn't know how a Christian is "supposed to act" you know; the Bible never said eternal redemption required you show up for coffee once a week.... I just had me and my Bible and I read through it and it only made sense to start doing things it said. So God started turning things upside down in my life, starting a dramatic restoration of me.
Its hard because we grow up to serve God, but only when it fits in out plans. Even Job goes to God with this very question of who makes the rules and our God says "You're questioning me?? I created the universe and you are questioning me? My thoughts are up a here and you're are down there.... and how old are you again?" We don't like this idea, and to an extent, you don't have to like what God says. in fact, the Romans hated Jesus so much that they hung their Creator.
But at the end of the day, nothing you do or say can keep the corpse of God in the grave. In Job everyone was trying to give him advice, everyone tries to reason about what is right or wrong in their eyes, but at the end of the book God has the final word. God is the most powerful, God is the solid rock. We look at things that happen, and they arent good from our perspective. But Job chooses to trust his Creator instead of doubting and we can too.
Sometimes we assume the strongest Christians are those who have been a Christian the longest, or know the most about the Bible. In reality its those who seek to know our Almighty God and trust in him and his ways as better than their own. And in this light, the Bible matters, even today in 2016, an awful lot.

There are not enough words to describe how well my move went with this company. When I say I didn't have to do anything I mean I literally sit down and they went to work. After offering to assist they insisted that I allowed them to take care of it for me. Reggie, Preston, and Anthony make a great team and represent this company as true professionals. I was surprised at how well they took the time and patience to wrap everything with such care which allows me to believe that everything's taken care of during the move. I hope I have the same group of guys when my goods are delivered because they are the best I've ever seen do what they do! Highly recommend and highly suggest requesting this group of fine gentleman!
I had an absolutely awesome experience with Covan

I had an absolutely awesome experience with Covan. They delivered and unpacked my HHG here in Wahiawa, HI. The crew of Britt, Chad, Elev, Isiah and Gage were professional, efficient, enthusiastic, polite and very friendly. Without a doubt the best move ever in 22 years of military and 20 years of civil service. Thank you!!! There isn't a Hawaii on your Select Location block...so I had to choose something from the list...you need to include Hawaii!
Thanks for a wonderful experience

A BIG THANK YOU to the Covan/Coleman Moving Company for helping the House of Ruth on Tuesday, December 26, 2017. We completed our annual holiday gift wrapping on Christmas Eve and needed to move all our supplies out of the mall by 8 AM today. Your two men and truck were right on time and their help in loading the truck then transporting all the material back to our storage unit was awesome. The House of Ruth is thankful for your support-----thank-you for helping us support victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
I am so thankful they were awesome and careful

We had our movers come today, they showed up early, which was awesome! They helped us remove everything from our storage unit. They unpacked and rewrapped and repacked everything! I was extremely concerned about a few items and they made sure to wrap them extra and make sure nothing would happen to them. I am so thankful they were awesome and careful with our household goods. Thank you Jose and Jose for doing an awesome job packing everything up for us!

My grandson is in the air force and I was the contact point for the moving of his household goods to Germany from Defuniak Springs, Fl. on June 14, 2016. The mover was Coleman Movers and the lady in charge was Lori Green- of CAM-66. She was excellent, very pleasant and extremely professional. I would pick this company again. Thank you for such good service
We truly appreciate your hard work
1SG C. 5 years ago
After 22yrs of Military service and more PCS moves that I care to remember, this move was by far the most smooth experiance thus far. Frenchy and Cody were the definition of astute professionals, more so they were friendly and willing to go above and beyond ensuring our belongings were well taken care of. I'm baffled at the efficiancy and speed at which these two Men moved our house hold goods, and in the middle of a down poor to boot. Great job gents WE truly appreciate your hard work...

A Hard habit to Break
In a perfect world I wouldn't have killed Benjamin's new girl friend. It was actually cited as an accidental death, due to an overdose of an unexplained substance.
It was antifreeze. Tasteless in Red Bull.
Stalking Ben was a hard habit to break. It pulled me to him. It got me a restraining order. Three months in the slammer and a lifetime achievement award for masturbating to a crumpled, soggy photograph. The one of Benjamin, on the floor of the bathroom, naked from the waist down, passed out on Sambuca, at the Riviera Hotel in Malaga.
I don't know why I liked that photo, but I did. The downy fluff on his backside, caught by the over-the-sink light.
After all, Benjamin burned our wedding album, the people in those pictures had heads. he destroyed it in a fit of rage, over me draining the savings account. So, I had no pictures of ben from the waist up and facing forward.
I opened a letter yesterday from his solicitor. Benjamin was demanding that the three embryos we had remaining in the fertility be destroyed. But, I have rights too. And he wasn't going to have a baby with that Bimbo, no way.
So, I disguised myself as a clown, the entertainment for the evening. white face, ball nose, curly wig and size 20 shoes, but with a proper man's 3 piece suit, as to not look too obvious.
I waited 'til they took to the dance floor. I went over and spiked her drink and spent the 20 minutes making animals out of long coloured balloons that I was blowing up in the corner. The squeezing plastic drowning out her wrenching and spitting.
She hit the floor with an almighty crash. But, no one noticed, as it was last call and by then Benjamin had moved on to someone new.
I almost felt sorry for her, so I wiped away some of the foam bubbling out of the corners of her mouth with a cocktail napkin.
I stood up and left out the side door, tucking my bag of balloons in my side pocket.

I am an American writer, comic, clown and bouffon currently residing in York, England. I worked as a stand-up comic in New York for 10 years before moving to Europe. I lived in Paris for two years where I studied and performed clown with The Clown Companie, Ira Seidenstein's International School of Acting and Clown and The Improfessionals. I studied and performed bouffon with the International Performing Arts Network. Her teacher was Eric Davis, a clown with Cirque du Soliel and master bouffon, The Red Bastard. In Paris I developed my bouffon, Joan Six Pack, which parodied the stereotype of how the obnoxious American tourist is perceived abroad. She is still working with this character in England. My first book, Happy As Larry, has just been published.

ke for care in folding.
The 48 Facet box was a test to see how far I could expand on this platform increasing depth of the kite, there-by giving more area without increasing its folded dimensions. This means there are now four way junctions which maThis kite can be stacked in a variety of formations the number of combination's is scary but satisfying in trying new mixtures such as this basic box stack achieved with just three 6mm spars with pairs of shock chord , an o-ring and an end-cap to lock the two into a very stable configuration.
The colour mix I go for relies on a bleed of colours to give a variety of shading and shape depending on view-point and lighting angles.
The new Tequila colour scheme (Orange,Red, Purple) is working well and may prefer it to my fire scheme. Will have to try a few more styles and see how it suits them.

City of Atlanta unveiled plans to move the Atlanta Cyclorama
On 23 July 2014, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed unveiled plans to move the Atlanta Cyclorama and its artifacts, including the locomotive Texas from their current Grant Park location to the campus of the Atlanta History Center.
In addition, the Mayor revealed plans for Zoo Atlanta's adaptive reuse of the current Cyclorama building to create a renovated space for administrative offices, as well as a new event space, which will overlook a newly enlarged habitat area for their African elephants.
Sheffield Hale, President and CEO of the Atlanta History Center:
"We believe the Atlanta History Center is the best long-term solution for the Cyclorama. This unique, historic artifact must have the expertise and tools – including financing, restoration, preservation, and interpretation – to ensure its ongoing care and conservation for generations to come. We are the only institution with an existing infrastructure that can provide the needed level of stewardship and long-term sustainability at no cost to Atlanta taxpayers.
Pending the approval of the City Council, the Atlanta History center plans to begin the initial conservation of the 1886 painting The Battle of Atlanta in its current Grant Park building before moving it to a custom-built, 23,000 square foot addition located behind our new Veterans Park at the corner of West Paces Ferry and Slaton Drive. Once installed in the new building, the History Center intends to restore the painting to its full size and to re-create the 128-year-old painting's original visual perspective – both of which have been lost for nearly 100 years. In total, we would restore 3,268 square feet of the painting that has been missing since these parts of the Cyclorama were cut off and removed in 1921 to fit into the current building in Grant Park. As a result, we can hang the Cyclorama painting in its originally designed hyperbolic or hourglass shape, restoring the original three-dimensional illusion that has been lost in the current building.
The Atlanta History Center has secured financial commitments totaling $32.2 million-which are contingent upon full City Council approval- from a select group of donors and foundations, including a $10 million gift from Lloyd and Mary Ann Whitaker that will be used as an endowment for the long-term care and maintenance of the painting. The Whitakers decided to make this gift after reading an article that appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution eighteen months ago about the need to save this rare treasure. In honor of their generous contribution, which jumpstarted this project, the new addition of The Battle of Atlanta painting and Texas locomotive to our campus will be housed in the "The Lloyd Tait and Mary Ann Baker Whitaker Building."
We believe the History Center is our city's best resource to interpret the painting, not only in the context of a single battle, but in a national context of a country divided by war. Placed in a fuller context, the painting must be used to tell not only the stories of that specific battle or of the Atlanta Campaign, but the significance of the Civil War in national history.
The Atlanta History Center has the most comprehensive collection of Civil War artifacts - and the most comprehensive collection relating to the Atlanta Campaign and to the Atlanta Cyclorama itself - at one location in the nation. This provides the opportunity to make connections between the Cyclorama and other artifacts, archival records, photographs, rare books, and contemporary research to tell richer, deeper stories about how popular and historical attitudes toward the Civil War have changed over time.
The addition of the Cyclorama at the Atlanta History Center would raise the visibility of the artifact both locally and nationally as the Atlanta History Center and Atlanta become a new nexus for Civil War research and interpretation.
While today's announcement is an important first step, there is much to be done before the painting is moved to our campus, including full approval by City Council.
You are now able to view more information at www.AtlantaHistoryCenter.com/Cyclorama, where we will provide updates and information, including a fly-through animation of the new additions to our campus. Please feel free to share this information with friends, and family.
This is an exciting day for Civil War history! If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please feel free to contact me or our Senior Military Historian, Dr. Gordon Jones (GJones@atlantahistorycenter.com)."

The Ombudsman Office prepared a brochure explaining the operation of the program which was mailed to 250 social service agencies and groups, together with all medical providers in the state, in the first year of operation. More recently, a poster was produced and sent to all state agencies and medical providers. The other new initiative which the Ombudsman would like to get started in the next few months is a newsletter.
Demand for Publications
In 1998 the DHCA distributed about 12,000 copies of the information sheets on Vermont's Patients' Bill of Rights, including to individuals, libraries, community groups, conferences and annual meetings.
Outreach and Media
The DHCA Consumer Services Specialist meets with various groups to explain their rights and educate them as to the complaints and external review process.
The Ombudsman Office has received television coverage through local news stations. The Ombudsman also tries to participate in health fairs and conferences, speaking to consumer groups, advocacy and support groups. The Ombudsman considers a web site a very good idea, but has not yet had time to focus on getting a site developed.

Q: How to add styles to wordpress default menu I just installed my theme to newly installed wordpress site. I didn't create any menu from appearence>menus, so by default wordpress showing "home" * "sample page" to the header as a default menu (I don't know the correct name, maybe callback menu?)
the problem is they are not getting any style from my stylesheet, I know if I create my custom menu, they ll get the styles from css. but I want this default wordpress menu to get the css as well. so the theme doesn't look odd when first install. how to do it?

A: The default styling of the WP menu looks like this:

                Sample Page

You should be able to style the elements of the menu on your page using the appropriate classes in your style.css file.

A: create a menu by name "primary" in apperance -> menus, and assign menus under it and u can refer
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu
or else use this in header.php:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary'))?>

A: First, creat new menu area in your theme.
For this, once (if you didn't set it) allow menus in your theme with this function:
add_theme_support( 'nav-menus' );

After this, add new menu your theme with this function:
register_nav_menu('primary', 'Our first menu');

And add your header.php lastly for print your custom menu:
if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) ) { $menu = wp_nav_menu( array( 'container' => '', 'echo' => '0', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); $menuOutput = preg_replace( array( '#^
]*>#', '#
$#' ), '', $menu ); echo $menuOutput; } else { }

This output is same as:

  Sample page

Use
And CSS it!
ul.your-class{}
ul.your-class li{list-style:square}
ul.your-class li a{ color:red }

A: Normally the default menu is called in the header.php with the function wp_nav_menu(). You can add CSS classes as arguments to wp_nav_menu(). If you are unaware of that the please refer to: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu.

During a recent trip back to Nottingham Trent University, ex-student and one of our designers Lucinda Ireland, went to talk to some of the current crop of students studying Graphic Design.
Lucinda also became a Look Like Love talent scout for the day, and one graphic design student in particular caught her eye, second year student Ella Robinson.
Still honing her craft, the French-born 21 year old has a real freshness to her illustrative creations, and the repetition in her work gives them a real presence, developing a fun, refined style of working.
With her final year fast approaching, it's an exciting time to showcase her personality as well as her passion for print-making, and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.


Microsoft will roll out the Windows 10 Creators Update early next year. When this OS update was announced Microsoft said it would deliver "3D for everyone". Users would be able to view, capture, create and share 3D. To make the most of the extra dimension Microsoft and hardware partners will be introducing a range of VR headsets starting at $299.
PC-based VR systems are currently quite demanding of hardware, particularly of GPUs. The recommended system spec for powering an Oculus Rift includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 or better. Recommended GPUs for enjoying the HTC Vive are the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 480, or better. Microsoft will make VR more accessible thanks to its lower entry standard.
A CPU with 4 threads or more.
Note that the results screen includes a 'get out clause' of sorts, saying that your PC is "good to play most experiences" if it passes. The experiences you can play, with an integrated DX12 compatible GPU for example, likely won't be the graphical VR feasts that attract users to the Rift and Vive. However, Microsoft might come out with a different VR-ready test for gaming experiences, a lot is unknown at this stage.
Sorry, is this thing supposed to be AR, full-on VR, mere 3D, or something in between?
TL;DR - Can I play Elite with it and still be impressed?
I'm glad the sony design has taken off. People did it say it was the most comfortable design. Now I'm hoping for one with rgb led rather than pentile crap oculus and the vive use.
This, imo, is basically VR experience using DX12 as the engine that powers it so things built using unreal engine or unity for walkthroughs will be fine on the modest spec requirements and potentially VR gaming too.
It's not AR as you can't see though the headset.
While it falls under their hololens branding those headsets up there aren't AR, they're VR. The Verge article even says it's for VR and to be honest the odds of AR using the minimum system requirements is pretty slim due to the extra processing required for the surrounding environment.


These are some of the reasons behind jobs related to concrete repair. Byron and Big Horn County are some of those places in the WY where you would find a number of contractors, who can help you in such cases. It would still be a good thing to take your time and look for the right serviceman. This would also ensure that you get the best possible help at an affordable rate.
Where is Concrete Foundation Repair Located in 82412 WY?
The problem is seen in Byron WY. The structural crack repair in Big Horn County, need to be done as soon as possible. If the problem is not treated soon, more and more water will be there in the basement or crawl space area and will truly increase the problem for the owner.


The Spotted Quoll PGE-bearing Ni deposit in the Forrestania greenstone belt in the Archean Yilgarn block in Western Australia is a komatiite-associated massive sulfide orebody tectonically displaced from its original host. The brecciated ore contains clasts of quartz and garnet schist and is located along a shear zone overlain by banded iron formation (BIF) and underlain by BIF and quartz-biotite metasediments. The deformation of the ore has destroyed its magmatic textures and it has been sheared and recrystallized at amphibolite facies. Then the deformed ore has been subjected to a hydrothermal event that concentrated the PGE with Au and As, often at the edge of the Ni ore. The PGE are distributed between PGM and in solid solution in Ni sulfarsenides, and Pd also occurs in pentlandite. The PGM include sudburyite (PdSb), sperrylite (PtAs2), and irarsite (IrAsS). All six PGE and minor Au are hosted in gersdorffite (NiAsS). Two generations of gersdorffite have been recognized. A higher temperature magmatic euhedral Co-rich gersdorffite encloses Ir-, Pt- and Rh-bearing PGM surrounded by halos of Rh-, Ir-, and Os-rich gersdorffite. A lower temperature Ni-rich gersdorffite forms anhedral grains and rims on grains of nickeline (NiAs). In this low-temperature gersdorffite PGE are concentrated toward the mineral edges. Sudburyite and gold occur associated predominantly with nickeline. The PGE and gold are now predominantly associated with sulfarsenides that are the controlling factor for their distribution.

Ruth Morrissey's upgrading of slide results from negative 'not considered an adverse incident'
Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - 06:56 PM
Cervical Check programmer manager John Gleeson has told the High Court open disclosure requires an adverse event, and the upgrading of the results of Ruth Morrissey's smear slides from negative was not considered an adverse incident.
Asked if the Vicky Phelan case never happened, when would the Limerick mother who now has at maximum two years to live have found out about the audit reviews on her smear slides, Mr Gleeson said: "If she had chosen to ask us".
Mr Gleeson who was subpoenaed by the young mother's legal team was giving evidence in Ms Morrissey's case against the HSE and two US labs over the alleged misreading of her smear slides in 2009 and 2012.
Limerick woman Ruth Morrissey (pictured) who has cervical cancer and at maximum has only two years to live has sued the HSE and two US laboratories over the alleged misreading of two smear tests she had in 2009 and 2012 under the CervicalCheck screening programme.
The 37-year-old mother did not find out until May last year, the results of audits on her 2009 and 2012 cervical smear slides which showed they had been incorrectly reported as negative.
Mr Gleeson wrote the letter to Ms Morrissey's consultant in 2016 in relation to the audit results on her previous smears of 2009 and 2012 and which revealed the smear tests had been reported incorrectly as negative but Ms Morrissey was told the audit results in May last year.
The CervicalCheck Programme manager is being asked question about governance in particular in relation to Ms Morrissey's 2009 and and 2012 smear slides as part of her claim for exemplary damages as well as compensatory damages.
Ms Morrissey's Counsel Patrick Treacy SC who told the court the Vicky Phelan case settled on April 25, 2018 asked the witness was it fair to say we don't know if Ruth Morrissey ever would have found out about the smear slide audit results. Mr Gleeson replied correct and it was not an adverse incident and open disclosure required an adverse incident.
Mr Justice Cross asked Mr Gleeson was he saying that it was not an adverse incident, Mr Gleeson replied "No we did not consider it an adverse incident."
He added the HSE are reviewing its open disclosure policy and he was sure we will see changes.
It was the eighth day of the action by Ruth Morrissey and her husband Paul Morrissey of Kylemore, Schoolhouse Road, Monaleen, Co Limerick who have sued the HSE and the US laboratory Quest Diagnostics Ireland Ltd with offices at Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin along with Medlab Pathology Ltd with offices at Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18.
Seven Irish people recognised on Forbes '30 under 30' list
It is claimed there was an alleged failure to correctly report and diagnose and there was an alleged misinterpretation of her smear samples taken in 2009 and 2012. A situation it is claimed allegedly developed where Ms Morrissey's cancer spread unidentified, unmonitored and untreated until she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June 2014.
It is further claimed a review of the 2009 and 2012 smears took place in 2014 and 2015 with the results sent to Ms Morrissey's treating gynaecologist in 2016, but she was not told until May 2018 of those review results which showed her smears were reported incorrectly.
The Morrisseys further contend if Ms Morrissey had been told the results of the smear test audits in late 2014 or early 2015, she would have insisted on an MRI and other scans.
The HSE the court has already heard admitted it owed a duty of care to Ms Morrissey but not to her husband. The laboratories deny all claims.
Mr Treacy asked Mr Gleeson about a leter Ruth Morrissey's treating consultant with the Morrisseys wrote to him in May last year in which they asked questions about the reporting of the smear slides, when the audit results were made known and looking for feedback on the upgrading of the slides. Mr Gleeson said he did not recall seeing the letter but it was stamped as having been received on June 1 last year and passed on to the State Claims Agency legal team.
The case before Mr Justice Kevin Cross continues today.
