How to draw lewis structure of PBr3?
PBr3 lewis structure is made up of three P-Br bonds, with a phosphorus (P) atom in a central position and all three bromine (Br) as outer atoms in the lewis diagram. The lewis structure of PBr3 contains a total of 3 bond pairs and 10 lone pairs(3 lone pairs on each bromine atom and 1 on the central atom).
The drawing of the PBr3 lewis's structure is very easy and simple. Let's see how to do it.
Steps for drawing the Lewis dot structure for PBr3
1. Count total valence electron in PBr3
First of all, determine the valence electron that is available for drawing the lewis structure of PBr3.
So, an easy way to find the valence electron of atoms in the PBr3 molecule is, just to look at the periodic group of phosphorous and bromine atoms.
As the phosphorous atom belongs to the 5A group in the periodic table and bromine is situated in the 7A group, hence, the valence electron for the phosphorous is 5, and for the bromine atom, it is 7.
⇒ Total number of the valence electron in Phosphorous = 5
⇒ Total number of the valence electrons in bromine = 7
∴ Total number of valence electrons available for the PBr3 Lewis structure = 5 + 7×3 = 26 valence electrons [∴ PBr3 molecule has one phosphorous and three bromine atoms]
2. Find the least electronegative atom and place it at center
An atom with a less electronegative value is preferable for the central position in the lewis diagram because they are more prone to share the electrons with surrounding atoms.
In the case of the PBr3 molecule, the phosphorous atom is less electronegative than the bromine atom.
Hence, put the phosphorous atom at the central position of the lewis diagram and all three bromine atoms outside it.
3. Connect outer atoms to the central atom with a single bond
In this step, join all outer atoms to the central atom with the help of a single bond.
In, the PBr3 molecule, bromine is the outer atom, and phosphorous is the central atom. Hence, joined them as shown in the figure given below.
Count the number of valence electrons used in the above structure. There are 3 single bonds used in the above structure, and one single bond means 2 electrons.
Hence, in the above structure, (3 × 2) = 6 valence electrons are used from a total of 26 valence electrons available for drawing the PBr3 Lewis structure.
∴ (26 – 6) = 20 valence electrons
So, we are left with 20 valence electrons more.
4. Place remaining electrons on the outer atom first and complete their octet
Let's start putting the remaining valence electrons on outer atoms first. In the case of the PBr3 molecule, bromine is the outer atom and each of them needs 8 electrons to have a full octet.
Start putting the remaining electrons on bromine atoms as dots till they complete their octet.
So, all bromine atoms in the above structure completed their octet, because all of them have 8 electrons(6 electrons represented as dots + 2 electrons in every single bond) in their outer shell.
Now again count the valence electron in the above structure.
In the above structure, there is 18 electrons are represented as dots + three single bonds that contain 6 electrons means a total of 24 valence electrons is used in the above structure.
We have a total of 26 valence electrons available for drawing the lewis structure of PBr3. And we used 24 valence electrons in the above structure.
∴ (26 – 24) = 2 valence electrons
So, we are left with just 2 valence electrons.
5. Complete the octet of the central atom
Since we have already completed the octet for outer atoms in PBr3, now, check the octet of the central atom as well.
In PBr3, the central atom is phosphorous and it requires a total of 8 electrons to have a full valence shell.
If you look at the 4th step structure, the phosphorous atom is attached to three single bonds that means it have 6 electrons, so, it just short of 2 electrons.
We already have the remaining 2 valence electrons, hence, put these two electrons on the phosphorous atom to complete its octet as well.
In the above structure, we see, each atom completed its octet comfortably, now, Let's check the formal charge for the above structure to verify it's stable or not.
6. Check the stability with the help of a formal charge concept
The lesser the formal charge on atoms, the better is the stability of the lewis diagram.
To calculate the formal charge on an atom. Use the formula given below-
⇒ Formal charge = (valence electrons – nonbonding electrons – 1/2 bonding electrons)
Let's count the formal charge for the 5th step structure.
For bromine atom
⇒ Valence electrons of bromine = 7
⇒ Nonbonding electrons on bromine = 6
⇒ Bonding electrons around bromine (1 single bond) = 2
∴ (7 – 6 – 2/2) = 0 formal charge on the bromine atoms.
For phosphorous atom
⇒ Valence electrons of phosphorous = 5
⇒ Nonbonding electrons on phosphorous = 2
⇒ Bonding electrons around phosphorous (3 single bonds) = 6
∴ (5 – 2 – 6/2) = 0 formal charge on the phosphorous central atom.
PBr3 Lewis structure
Hence, in the above PBr3 lewis structure, all atoms get a formal charge equal to zero.
Therefore, the above lewis dot structure of PBr3 (Phosphorous tribromide) is most stable and appropriate in nature.

What are the electron and molecular geometry of PBr3?
The molecular geometry or shape of PBr3 is a Trigonal pyramid. This geometry contains a phosphorous (P) central atom at the apex position, and the three bromine (Br) atoms at the corners of the trigonal base. A trigonal pyramid geometry is different than a regular tetrahedral geometry.
The molecular geometry or shape of PBr3 is a Trigonal pyramid, because, the lone pair present on the central Phosphorous (P) atom greatly repels the adjacent bonded pairs, therefore, the three bonds(P-Br) are pushed down even further away from their respective position, and the final shape of PBr3 appears like Trigonal pyramid.
PBr3 Molecular geometry
Now, What is the electron geometry of PBr3?
The electron geometry of PBr3 is Tetrahedral, because, the phosphorous (P) central atom has one lone pair and it is attached to three bonded pairs as well. So, there are 4 regions of electron density(3 bond pair + 1 lone pair) around the central atom.
According to the VSEPR theory, the central atom with four regions of electron density adopts a tetrahedral electron geometry. Because repulsion is minimum in electron pairs at this position.
Also, the PBr3 molecule has an AX3N1 generic formula, which shows, its electron geometry will be tetrahedral, and its molecular geometry will be a trigonal pyramid.
Therefore, the molecular geometry for PBr3 is a trigonal pyramid and its electron geometry is Tetrahedral.
Hybridization of PBr3
The hybridization of PBr3 is Sp3. Because the steric number of the phosphorous central atom is four.
The formula for calculating the steric number is-
Steric number = (Number of bonded atoms attached to central atom + Lone pair on central atom)
In the case of the PBr3 molecule, phosphorous is the central atom that is attached to the three bonded atoms(bromine) and it has one lone pair as well.
Hence, (3 + 1) = 4 is the steric number of central atom phosphorous in the PBr3 molecule that gives Sp3 hybridization.
Steric number Hybridization
3 Sp²
4 Sp³
5 Sp³d
6 Sp³d²
The bond angle of PBr3
The bond angle of PBr3 will be less than 109º. Because the repelling effect of the lone pair on bonded atoms (Br-P-Br) will reduce the ideal bond angle(from 109º to some approx 101º) since the lone pair take more room than bonded pairs.
In PBr3, the Br-P-Br bond angle will be less than 109,º because of lone pair-bond pair repulsion.
Also check:- How to find bond angle?
Is PBr3 polar or nonpolar?
So, Is PBr3 polar or nonpolar? PBr3 is a polar molecule. One main reason is, PBr3 has a distorted shape which causes a non-zero dipole moment in this molecule.
Also, The bromine (Br) atom is more electronegative than the phosphorous (P) atom, therefore, the net shift in electron density towards the bromine atom, hence, it develops a negative charge, whereas, the phosphorous gets a positive charge.
The separation of positive and negative charges leads to a dipole moment in PBr3.
Since the molecular geometry of PBr3 is Trigonal pyramidal which is not symmetrical, therefore, it results in unequal charge distribution, which generates a permanent dipole moment, and, makes, PBr3 is a polar molecule.

How to tell if a molecule is polar or nonpolar?
How many lone pairs and bond pairs are present in the lewis structure of PBr3?
Lone pairs are those represented as dots in the lewis diagram. Bonding pairs are the pair of electrons that are in a bond. A single bond has one bond pair means 2 bonding electrons.
By looking at the PBr3 Lewis structure, we see, there are a total of 10 lone pairs are present(3 lone pairs on each bromine atom and 1 lone pair on the phosphorous atom).
Also, in the PBr3 lewis structure, a total of 3 bond pairs are present as well.
Why the molecular geometry of the PBr3 is Trigonal pyramid and the electron geometry is Tetrahedral?
Two types of geometry can be predicted with the help of VSEPR theory- (a). Electron geometry (b). Molecular geometry
Electron geometry considers all electrons(Bonding and Lone pair electrons) whereas molecular geometry considers only Bonding atoms to determine the shape of any molecule.
∴ The molecular geometry of PBr3 is a Trigonal pyramid. Since the lone pair on the phosphorous (P) atom pushes down the bonded atoms because of repelling effect according to VSEPR. The final molecular shape of PBr3 appears like a Trigonal pyramid, with phosphorous (P) at the apex and three bromine (Br) atoms at the corners of the trigonal base.
However, the electron geometry of PBr3 will be Tetrahedral, because, the phosphorus (P) central atom is surrounded by 4 regions of electron density which implies, its electron domain geometry will be Tetrahedral, according to VSEPR.

It's time for another update in my ongoing saga about the physician group that our health system purchased. We're in the process of preparing them to upgrade to the 2014-certified version of their EHR software. Initially, they balked at any suggestion of retiring their custom content. Our team has been diligently working on them and has convinced them to agree to approximately half of our recommendations.
At this point and given their resistance, I can get on board with half. It's certainly more than none. Through discussion of their actual needs and observing their workflow, we've even identified a handful of customizations that we're going to advocate that our vendor incorporate into the product out of the box. Ultimately, what allowed us to get the agreement we achieved was the idea they will be piloting the changes for a couple of months after the upgrade and then we'll revisit them.
We added the pilot approach when we sensed they were stuck in analysis paralysis. The reluctance of the identified physician champions to make decisions was palpable. They feared backlash from their colleagues and claimed to be unable to reach consensus.
I've been through this enough times to know what kinds of darts their colleagues might start throwing, so I was happy to offer myself as a virtual human shield. If using the larger health system as the scapegoat for required change is what it takes to move them ahead, so be it.
Now that the decisions are made, it's time to get their build underway and start preparations for testing and training sessions. I'm grateful the build will be fairly easy. Although large in number, most of the customizations are very easy. If we get in a bind on the timeline, we can always bring in contractors to knock it out quickly. As for the testing requirements, though, I think we're going to be in for another fight.
Typically we bring in key end users to help us with testing. That way we can ensure that any unusual workflows they've come up with get put through their paces using the new software. Over time, we've aggregated many of these scenarios for our physicians into test scripts that our analysts can use to replicate their workflows.
The new group is a little bit of a mystery. though. I'm sure there are plenty of aberrant workflows we've yet to discover, so having access to their actual staff will be essential.
As we suspected, they didn't want to let us pull anyone out of the offices or create a situation where overtime might be needed, so we had to get a little creative. I was able to pull together data from our previous go-lives and upgrades and convince them that if they let us leverage the users now, they will need less training right before the upgrade.
It still seems somewhat contrived that we have to produce data to convince them of a proven solution. I just have to keep reminding myself that they've come under our umbrella under circumstances that were less than willing.
I know there will be culture shock when they experience our training program as well. We require not only attendance, but participation in our sessions. Users are expected to demonstrate competency before they are signed off.
We use both written and practical evaluations for non-provider users. Providers are expected to demonstrate mastery by replicating 15-20 past patient encounters in the new system. Ideally I'd like to get them to do more, but we've found that's about all we can get them to agree to.
We find that when users have completed a certain number of scenarios, they are able to get back up to speed more quickly in the days following the upgrade. It's not rocket science – it's a simple matter of practice.
Nevertheless, we often have physicians who fight us about the need to practice. It's difficult to help them understand that documenting quickly and accurately in EHR while preserving the integrity of the patient visit is a skill, just like anything else they do. They wouldn't try a new procedure on a patient without supervised practice.
Some of them try to tell us that they didn't need any special training to document on paper. Although I'd agree that they didn't need "special" training, they did need training. As medical students, we wrote hundreds if not thousands of patient notes, notes that were critiqued by our interns, residents, and attendings. Those of us in employed practice models had our notes further critiqued by coding and compliance auditors as well.
We plan to have our first testing and training event in a few weeks. We're bringing in the non-physician staff first and will do our best to make the sessions not only educational, but fun and interactive. By winning their hearts and minds, it should make for an easier battle when it's time to address the physicians.
I always like to bring homemade goodies to user events and this won't be any exception. Right now this quick bread (made with an insane amount of butter, sugar, and sour cream) is a leading contender. Despite the calorie count, I can at least pretend it's a health food. After all, it's got bananas — how can it not be?
This is an excellent line of reasoning which I am going to use when working with physicians on my next project.

The Diamondbacks officially signed 17-year-old prospect Wagner Mateo to a deal worth $512K today. Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reported that the sides were nearing a deal in late April; MLBTR contributor Blake Bentley reported that the deal was done days later and Piecoro added the dollar amount. Today, Piecoro noted (via Twitter) that the deal had become official.
The $512K is a steep, but expected, drop from the $3.1MM deal that Mateo signed with St. Louis last July. That contract was voided by the club out of concerns about Mateo's vision. The Dominican outfielder was rumored to join the Giants in the winter, but a deal never materialized.
Unfortunately Mateo couldn't see the contract and signed the table instead.
Oh… great joke: ha – ha – ha.

The Auxerre tragedy, as it is known in the Azerbaijani media, was a game belonging to the UEFA Euro 1996 qualifying that took place on 6 September 1995.

The game went down in the history as both the biggest defeat of the Azerbaijan national team and the biggest victory of the France national team.

Background

This would be the 8th match for both teams in the first group of the UEFA Euro 1996 qualifying. While Azerbaijan already lost its chance to participate in the tournament, France was still fighting for a ticket. Prior to the game, France's biggest victory was 8–0, twice over Luxembourg (20 April 1913 and 17 December 1953) and against Iceland (2 June 1957). Azerbaijan had suffered its biggest defeat (0–5) in a friendly match against Malta on 19 April 1994.

Context
The French team was in difficulty following a series of poor results, having been negatively affected by failure to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the most recent being a 1–1 draw conceded at the Parc des Princes against Poland a few weeks earlier. As Azerbaijan was one of the weakest European selections a Les Blues victory was not in doubt. Instead, the challenge for the Blues was to reassure themselves by regaining their effectiveness on target.

Match

Details

Post-match
After the game, France took second place with 14 points, ahead of Poland; the Azerbaijani team remained in the last place with 8 losses and 0 points. Head coach Aghasalim Mirjavadov resigned immediately after the defeat, citing the inability of the players, the low level of training and the fact that the opponent was very strong as the reasons for the defeat.

France, meanwhile, would go on finishing second place and qualified for the UEFA Euro 1996, in which France reached the semi-finals. Nearly the same crop of players, including some notable names like Zinedine Zidane, Youri Djorkaeff and Bixente Lizarazu, would go on to form the main squad in France's eventual 1998 FIFA World Cup triumph.

In 2016, pastemagazine.com included the Auxerre tragedy in its list of Top 10 Biggest National Defeats.

The PE Trail Series
1 minute, 37 seconds reading time
For many locals the Sacramento Trail at the seaside village of Schoenmakerskop, aka Schoenies, is a huge favourite for a leisurely stroll with the dogs on a sunny day. But the pace is about to quicken radically along this popular trail known for its stunning seaside scenery and indigenous vegetation.
Trail running events specialists, Wildrunner, kicked off with the first race in the Sacramento Nature Reserve and then followed it up with Race 2 in Port Elizabeth's equally scenic Baakens Valley on July 31, while Race 3 is at Cape Recife on August 7. The final race is at Hopewell Estate, just outside PE, on August 21.
Follow the trail
The PE Trail Series is part of the Spur Trail Series, already an annual highlight among trail runners in the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. It's one of the most popular trail running events and the only national trail running series in the country.
The new local series will deliver the thrill of running through beautiful coastal landscapes and dune vegetation.
"The Spur Trail Series is a great place both for novices to be introduced to the sport of trail running and for experienced racers to do speed training as they take on some of the most talented trail runners in South Africa," says Trail Series founder and Wildrunner MD, Owen Middleton. "PE is a stunning area for trail running, and we are really pleased to be promoting the area's natural attractions through the series."
Information for the races
If runners only want to do one or two of the races and can't complete the entire series they may enter on a race-by-race basis. Kids are also allowed to enter and compete.
Entries are limited and pre-entry online is advisable. If on-the-day entries are taken, a late entry fee will be added to the normal entry fee – see the website for details.

This is the second post in our series on Direct Mail Best Practices. It's such an important topic that we decided to cover it in a series of posts rather then one big one. This post focuses on the "meat" of your direct mail campaign: the message.
Once you've decided to promote an offering using a direct mail campaign – whether it's a product, a service or an event – your work begins. In the first post in this series on Direct Mail Best Practices, we talked about the list, and how important it is that your mailing list be a good one. The recipients must be appropriate (likely to respond) to whatever you're promoting. And the data in this list must be clean (accurate and current).
At the same time, you'll be crafting the message for your campaign. Are you making an announcement? Promoting a product or a service? Providing a special discount? Promoting an upcoming event? Maybe you're doing a campaign to let people know your company exists. There are lots of smart reasons to send a print marketing piece to customers and/or prospects.
1. Keep it simple and direct. Some marketers have a tendency to overload their brochures or postcards with descriptions about every service or product they offer. Resist this. If you're spending marketing dollars to get a good response rate from this printed piece, pay attention to the message. What's the purpose of your campaign? What are the main selling points? What's in it for them (how will it improve their lives, workday, efficiency, bank account, etc.)? What makes your offer so compelling?
2. Let the finished size of your direct mail piece influence the length of your message. Creating a 4 x 6" postcard as opposed to a poster or even a letter-sized mail piece has to dictate just how much copy your vehicle can carry (before it collapses under the weight!). Whether you're working with an in-house copywriter or you've outsourced this function, keep the writer in the loop, making it very clear what this direct mail campaign is supposed to achieve.
3. Make sure that key information isn't inadvertently omitted. This includes the following: a return address, your company name/logo and how to respond to the campaign, if appropriate (URL? PURL? Phone? Email?).
4. Triple-check the spelling and grammar. Nothing says "unprofessional" like sloppy writing. And if your direct mail piece includes data like phone numbers, email addresses and URLs, make sure that every letter and number is proofread.
5. If it's personalized, work closely with your direct mail printer & your designer. Personalized direct mail generates better response rates, which is why so many marketers are personalizing their campaigns. When you initiate a personalized campaign, you must work closely with your graphic designer and your printer. It's critical to understand what will be personalized (Copy? Graphics? Color?) and where. This will directly impact your message.
6. Polish your copy. Hire a professional marketing copywriter if you don't have one on staff. Constructing a compelling message isn't automatic or quick. The copy must reflect your company, be appropriate for the printed product, be compelling, be professional, and garner good response.
Give sufficient attention to the message you're sending in your direct mail campaign. Make sure it's targeted, well crafted, and memorable.

La Corporación de Ventas de Salitre y Yodo de Chile (COVENSA) fue el estanco formado entre el Estado chileno y las empresas privadas productoras que funcionó entre 1934 y 1968. Estaba encargada de regular la exportación y comercialización del salitre y iodo. Surgió como reemplazo de la COSACH (Compañía de Salitres de Chile 1930-1933).

Creación y modificaciones legales
La creación de la COVENSA, por la Ley N° 5.350 del 8 de enero de 1934, significó cambios importantes en la concesión y explotación salitrera. En primer lugar a diferencia de la COSACH no se preocupó de participar en la explotación misma, sino de la exportación y comercialización y el cobro de las utilidades. Tampoco participaría de la propiedad de las empresas. Tendría una duración de 35 años contados desde el 1 de julio de 1933. Las utilidades de la COVENSA estarían conformadas por la diferencia de precios que pagan los productores y el precio de venta. De ellas un 25% quedaría para el fisco como impuesto a la renta, siendo la única tributación de las empresas.

La COVENSA podría también imponer y fijar un salario mínimo, según las condiciones de cada zona salitrera, para los obreros. La Ley también estableció que las empresas debían abastecerse de insumos nacionales en igualdad de condiciones que los extranjeros, contratar seguros con compañías nacionales y entregar a los organismos fiscales que lo solicitaran, a través de la COVENSA, parte de su producción a un precio fijado por el directorio de COVENSA.

Durante la segunda presidencia de Carlos Ibáñez nuevamente la situación de la industria salitrera estaba en crisis. Se promulga la Ley N° 12.018 de 1956 del Referéndum Salitrero. Esta otorgó exenciones de impuestos, liberación de derechos aduaneros, retorno en dólares al mejor tipo de cambio y el cambio de la amortización fija a uno porcentual, con el compromiso de invertirse en mejoras de la producción, La participación del estado se eleva de un 25% a un 40% y se permitió la comercialización total de la producción eliminándose los stock. Sin embargo estas medidas no fueron suficientes en mejorar la producción y las utilidades quebrando la CONSAT en 1960.

Evolución de los integrantes de COVENSA
Inicialmente se establecieron tres unidades productivas
 Compañía Salitrera Anglo-Chilena;
 Lautaro Nitrate Company; y
 Otros 34 productores. Quienes posteriormente se reúnen en la Compañía Salitrera de Tarapacá y Antofagasta (CSTA o COSATAN).

Posteriores cambios reducen a dos las unidades productivas. En 1951 la Anglo Chilean Nitrate adquiere la Lautaro Nitrate creando la Compañía Salitrera Anglo Lautaro S.A. En 1960 al quebrar la COSATAN la CORFO crea la Empresa Salitrera Victoria (ESAVI) como filial a partir de las instalaciones y concesiones de esta.

Disolución de COVENSA
En 1968 el gobierno del Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva decide no renovar la duración de la COVENSA, cumpliéndose su vida legal el 1 de julio. Se efectúan negociaciones entre la CORFO y la Compañía Salitrera Anglo Lautaro las cuales finalizan en la creación de la Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile que incorpora los activos de ambos.

In Memory of Timothy Lee Former AZGOP Treasurer
Tributes to Timothy Lee who passed away during heart surgery on August 15, 2018
Former AZGOP Chairman Randy Pullen:
Timothy was a rock. He had a great sense of humor, and we became great friends. He understood what was required for AZGOP financial reporting to the state and FEC. During my 4 years as Chairman, we conducted a quarterly call to the FEC regarding reports. This was not a requirement but something he chose to do. There were very few issues that ever arose, but when they did, Timothy was always prepared to answer any questions the analyst had. The AZGOP was audited for the 2010 election cycle at the request of the DOJ. After a forensic audit conducted over a year, the FEC found no major violations and in fact, the auditor stated the files were the most complete she had ever audited. God bless Timothy.
Past GOP Chairman Tom Morrissey:
I first met Timothy Lee the day I was elected Chairman of the AZ GOP in January of 2011. He was the incumbent AZ GOP Treasurer and as such he introduced me to the realities of the enormity of his job. He was knowledgeable and always in control of the process. He operated with integrity and had a quick wit and great sense of humor, which was so important during the many challenges of the 2012 election cycle. He consistently advised me along the way, so that pitfalls were avoided and bylaws and statutes were adhered to. He was an invaluable asset to the Party. I enjoyed his company and will miss him and his text messages keeping me informed long after I had left that position. Rest in peace Timothy. You will be missed.
Former GOP Chairman Robert Graham:
"Today, a true conservative and a died-in-the-wool Republican activist began his new journey with our Father in Heaven. Timothy Lee, former long-time Treasurer, PC and State Committeeman of the Arizona Republican Party, passed away yesterday morning August 15, 2018. Timothy was a friend to most, a man feared by some and a person committed to the cause of a true conservative Republican Party. Most of Timothy's life was centered on the service he provided others. He was always first to wish someone happy birthday. During the holiday seasons he helped usher in the Christmas spirit and shared his Jewish traditions. Timothy was more than a fixture to the AZ GOP and Republicans at large…he was an activist, a fighter and a person committed to the best possible outcome for the people of Arizona. Never wavering, Timothy's heart was based in loyalty, love and compassion. Some would say…"Timothy will take the heat." He would take the heat to help facilitate the "right" outcome. The lunches at his favorite deli, the unexpected gifts of pastries and sweets, the warnings and counsel he shared…will all be missed by all he considered friends. He protected us. Timothy Lee gave of himself to each of us and the Republican party. Like anything in politics…some will agree with the tribute above and others will not. Those who do not agree were never blessed by truly knowing Timothy Lee."
AZGOP Chairman Lines Statement on the Passing of Timothy Lee
PHOENIX—AZGOP Chairman Lines released the following statement on the passing of Timothy Lee:
Yesterday, Timothy Lee, a lifelong dedicated Republican passed away. Timothy was the former Treasurer of the Arizona Republican Party. He was a Precinct Committeeman, a State Committeeman and the former Chairman of the LD 24 Republicans. Timothy was a friend to Republicans across the state.
"I am saddened to hear about the death of my dear friend Timothy Lee," said AZGOP Chairman Lines. "Timothy was a dedicated Republican through and through. My heart goes out to all of his loved ones they are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you, Timothy for your years of dedicated service to Republicans statewide. You will be missed."

Het Monument voor de Nieuwe Haven is een rijksmonument aan de Rouaanskaai in Middelburg in de provincie Zeeland.

Het gedenkteken werd opgericht naar aanleiding van de opening van het nieuw Havenkanaal in de richting van Veere in 1817 door koning Willem I. De eerste steen werd op 24 augustus 1819 gelegd op de 47ste verjaardag van de koning.

Het monument bestaat uit een arduinstenen obelisk bekroond met een gouden bol, die geplaatst werd op een vierkant onderstuk. Aan de voorzijde staat het wapen van Nederland en op de voet het wapen van Middelburg. Aan de achterzijde staat het wapen van Zeeland met onderaan op de voet de tekst: "AAN DEN KONING BIJ HET OPENEN DER NIEUWE HAVEN IX AUGUSTUS MDCCCXVII". Aan de voet bevindt zich een blauwstenen stoep met op elke hoek een blauwstenen paal ter flankering.

FAA Reviewing Whether Pilots Can Take COVID Vaccine
Clinical trials are one thing. Requiring a waiting period of 24 hours or so when mostly minor side effects have occurred is common sense. The only serious side effects of very rare allergic reactions have occurred within minutes. But even making it an issue as to whether a pilot may take an approved vaccine against a deadly disease that is spreading in pandemic fashion is a good example of bureaucracy run amok. As the vaccine rolls out into the general population, long term side effects could become evident; but there is not the slightest evidence that these effects would be suddenly incapacitating.

Russian Researchers Are Creating New Medications for AIDS Treatment
Submitted by Шилинцев Артем ... on 10 September, 2019 - 16:38
Researchers from South Ural State University and the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences are studying polysulphur-nitrogen heterocycles – organic compounds which have antiviral properties and can be applied for the treatment of AIDS. Other universities involved in this collaboration include the University of Zurich (Switzerland), University College London (Great Britain), the University of North Carolina (USA), and the University of Eastern Finland (Finland). One of the most recent articles dedicated to this research was published in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters (Q1).
Original heterocycles deactivate viruses
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious illness that results from the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). For now, AIDS is an incurable desease; the virus can not be totally destroyed by any currently-known methods, but researchers from all over the world are working to create medicines that can help patients dealing with this illness.
In 2015, South Ural State University and the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry established a laboratory for synthesis of original polysulphur-nitrogen heterocycles and searching for new compounds with high and varied biological activity.
"From the very beginning, we believed the most promising area of research to be the anti-cancer activity of this compound class. However, unexpectedly, it became clear to us that this kind of compound can also have high and selective activity against the feline immunodeficiency virus, which is the closest analog to HIV," says Professor Oleg Rakitin, Doctor of Sciences (Chemistry).
The researchers have determined that various heterocyclic structures are promising compounds for fighting AIDS, which is of significant value for the development of both chemistry and biology.
"The main research result of our studies was the discovery of the general mechanism of action of the polysulphur-nitrogen hetrocycles that we synthesized: polysulphur-nitrogen heterocycles with a sulfur-sulfur (or sulfur-selenium) bond can open up within the body with the formation of dithiols, which interact with zinc atoms by almost 'drawing them out' of the viral molecules as protein-zinc-thiol complexes, thereby deactivating them," explains Oleg Rakitin.
It is worth noting that this mechanism of action in antiviral medications has not been observed before. During their research, medications were found among the studied compounds which have both high antiviral activity and low toxicity for typical cells. The discovery of this mechanism allowed the researchers to open up a new class of heterocylic polysulphur-nitrogen compounds that can be utilized as anti-virus medications, as well as the possibility to apply these medications for various viral illnesses with a similar mechanism of action.

International partnerships to achieve the best results
Characteristic feature of this research is in the high level of collaboration, within which the best groups in the world working in different fields of science got to work together. The synthesis and proof of the construction of new compounds was completed in the joint laboratory between SUSU and IOC RAS, the study of their activity against feline immunodeficiency – at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), research on the mechanism of action of heterocyclic structures – at University College London (Great Britain) and the University of North Carolina (USA), and computer modeling of the biological action of our compounds was completed at the University of Western Finland (Finland).

"Recently, our consortium was joined by a group of researchers from the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), which studies medicines against the Sporotrichosis infection, which is especially wide-spread in Brazil. It is worth noting that every group uses the newest methods in their research, which allows them to achieve strong results which are reflected in many publications in prestigious journals," stresses Oleg Rakitin.
The results of this research have been presented to the scientific community at a number of prestigious conferences, including the conference of the American Chemical Society.
At this time, the researchers are searching for the optimal structures (with the highest value on the therapeutic index) for each illness type. The importance of the obtained results is that any given medication can be used for different types of illnesses (cancer, HIV, and more), which makes their development more interesting in a practical sense. Research on the mechanism of previously-synthesized compounds will be continued to treat other illnesses with similar mechanisms of action.

Five Food Equity Heroes Honored With James Beard Leadership Awards
Posted on May 8, 2018 May 7, 2018 by FamilyFarmed
by Bob Benenson, FamilyFarmed
It was a proud and happy moment for FamilyFarmed when Ferd Hoefner, the longtime face and voice of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC), took to the podium Saturday night in Chicago as the first of five recipients of the James Beard Foundation Leadership Awards — all of whom have devoted their lives to more fairness and equity in the American food system.
FamilyFarmed has had a particular close relationship with Hoefner and NSAC. The leading federal public affairs and lobbying organization, NSAC has produced coherent and clear explanations that have helped us understand complicated legislation such as the Farm Bill and the Food Safety Modernization Act and share that information with our community.
Hoefner also served on the executive committee of the Good Food Commission, more than two dozen experts from across the food issues spectrum who convened from 2015 to 2017 to refine the definition of Good Food. This effort is described in an article — the first in a series called Good Food Insights — written by FamilyFarmed that was published last week by New Hope Network.
Ferd Hoefner, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition
Hoefner was introduced at the Leadership Awards by Kathleen Merrigan, a former deputy secretary of Agriculture during the Obama administration, who is a longtime colleague and friend of the honoree. Merrigan, now executive director of sustainability at George Washington University, described Hoefner as "the most selfless person I know," and added, "He has written countless laws over these four decades of work, all dedicated to helping the collective organizations seeking social justice, equity and sustainability. He is always standing up for the little guy."
Merrigan added wryly, "Ferd is so much behind the scenes that it pains me to tell you that he has probably been called Fred as often as Ferd."
A video about Hoefner's career followed, with the narrator stating, "Ferd has won grants for farm to school programs and the Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food movement, and continues to fight to keep SNAP benefits active in farmers markets and CSAs. Those who have observed Ferd in action recognize his talent for mobilizing grass-roots support on both sides of the aisle. He remains at the center of progressive policy change, pointing the way toward a strong, healthier and more sustainable farm and food system."
In his acceptance speech, Hoefner said his number one heroes are "the practitioners of sustainable agriculture in the field, the farmers and ranchers who have been driving innovation in food and land stewardship for decades," adding, "They are truly my inspiration, what keeps me going, fighting the battles on Capitol Hill and the Department of Agriculture."
Even though he spent nearly 30 years as a leader at NSAC and continues to serve as senior policy adviser, Hoefner described the organization's accomplishments without using the first person singular: "When we started 30 years ago, there was no federal farm bill support for working lands conservation, there was no federal support for young and beginning farmers, there was no recognition, no less support, for local and regional food systems, there was no backing for organic agriculture, and no federal research into sustainable agriculture and food systems. Through NSAC, we have put all those things on the map with a multitude of policies and programs that now amount to several billion dollars in federal resources each year."
FamilyFarmed congratulates Ferd Hoefner and the four other courageous Leadership Awards recipients who follow (in order of appearance).
Shirley Sherrod, Southwest Georgia Project for Community Education
Shirley Sherrod is executive director of the Southwest Georgia Project for Community Education, which she founded in the 1960s with her husband, civil rights activist Charles Sherrod. She was a force in creating New Communities, the nation's first community land trust, and has devoted her career to empowering African-American small farmers.
Ramon Torres, Familias Unidas por la Justicia
Ramon Torres is president of Familias Unidas por la Justicia, which made history in the state of Washington by creating the nation's first independent farm workers union led by indigenous workers. A powerful and charismatic speaker who delivered his address in Spanish with the assistance of an English-language translator, Torres led the audience in a chant he used in his union organizing campaign: Se si puede (Yes you can)! (Torres was introduced by Jose Oliva, co-director of the Food Chain Workers Alliance and, like Hoefner, a member of FamilyFarmed's Good Food Commission.)
Doug Rauch, Daily Table
Doug Rauch is president and founder of Boston-based Daily Table, a nonprofit whose stores are stocked with donations of excess food products sold as affordable groceries and ready-to-eat meals. A former president of the Trader Joe's grocery chain, Rauch says Daily Table has provided about 1 million healthy and nutritious food servings a month and kept nearly 3 million pounds of food from ending up in landfills since its founding in 2015.
Dara Cooper, National Black Food & Justice Alliance
Dara Cooper is a co-founder of the National Black Food & Justice Alliance, a coalition, founded in 2014, working toward food sovereignty for African Americans. Previously Cooper volunteered with the Black Oaks Center for Sustainable Renewable Living; held a fellowship with the Congressional Hunger Center; played a key role in creating Chicago's Fresh Moves mobile produce markets that bring healthy food options to underserved communities; and ran the Food and Fitness Partnership of the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

Kemény Ferenc, Francis Kemeni vagy Franz Kemeny (Budapest, 1917. július 13. – Oslo, 2008. október 2.) fordító.

Pályafutása
Magyarország német megszállása után lépett a Külügyminisztérium szolgálatába, ahol a gazdaságpolitikai osztály fogalmazójaként dolgozott. 1945 után Szekfű Gyula követ mellett volt első titkár Magyarország moszkvai nagykövetségén. Diplomáciai pályafutását a kommunista diktatúra nyomására cserélte fel a fordítói mesterséggel. 1956 után Norvégiában, Oslóban telepedett le. 40 forrásnyelvből 24 célnyelvre fordított, 12 nyelven beszélt folyékonyan.

Mottója Voltaire-től ered:

Nem hivatalos nyelvész, de több publikációja van a témában. Kutatási eredményei a hangeltolódás tagadásán, a szavak értelmének megváltozásán és a pidginizálódás jelenségén alapulnak. Megemlítendő még, hogy nem csupán nyelvészettel, hanem bölcselettel és versfordítással is foglalkozott.

This was such an unusual yet interesting read. I listened to it via audiobook which I would recommend. The format was confusing and difficult to follow, even to the point that I initially thought there was an issue with the audio recording. However after going back and reading reviews, I realized that this was intentional. Anyway the narration helped to better define each perspective being told especially since it was told like a documentary but without any context or connection between scenes.
I did enjoy it though and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for something totally different and refreshing from a writing style point of view. I appreciated the language and candor brought into each topic. It was more about expression in the here and now than the actual direction and flow of a cohesive story which somehow added an element of intrigue.

Amazon Studios to Revive 'Sigmund and the Sea Monsters'
Two New Kids-Themed Shows Will Launch on Amazon Prime, Including 'Bug Diaries'
by Marc Berman November 29, 2016, 10:24 am
[socialpoll id="2403819″]
Amazon Studios has ordered two new original kids-themed series, including a revival of classic "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters" from Sid & Marty Krofft. Originally airing on NBC on Saturday mornings from 1973 to 1975, "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters" is centered on two brothers, Johnny and Scotty, who along with their cousin Robyn befriend Sigmund, a friendly young sea-monster who escapes from his old life and his comically dysfunctional brothers Slurp and Blurp. Now, using a Clubhouse as their hiding place, the gang must keep Sigmund safe from an ambitious sea-monster hunter Captain Barnabas.
The show is executive produced by Sid & Marty Krofft ("H.R. Pufnstuf," "Land of the Lost") with the pilot directed by Jonathan Judge ("The Thundermans" "School of Rock") and starring David Arquette ("Scream") as Captain Barnabas.
The second new kids-themed series on Amazon is animated series "Bug Diaries," based on the children's book series by Doreen Cronin. The show follows a comic trio of slimy, crawly, and buzzy bug friends whose tiny world offers up huge adventures.
Both "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters" and "Bug Diaries" will be part of Amazon Prime Video's growing line-up of originals, and they will both be available for streaming at an undisclosed date in 2017.

> Malta Development Bank > Schemes and Facilities > Family Business Transfer Facility
The purpose of this facility is to assist and facilitate family businesses to transfer their business from one generation to the next.
This Guarantee scheme will complement the fiscal incentives offered by the Government in terms of the Family Business Act 2016. It is estimated that only a small proportion of family businesses manage to survive in the longer term. For instance, only around 12% of family businesses manage to transfer to the fourth generation. To date, banks have often been reluctant to provide credit for family business transfers because such transactions were perceived to add debt rather than value. The Family Business Transfer Guarantee Scheme should enable more family businesses to transfer their businesses, thereby ensuring continuity, stability and further growth in future of such businesses – which in Malta constitute a significant segment of the SME sector.
Through this agreement, the MDB will be contributing a partial credit risk protection on the lending portfolio of Bank of Valletta. The benefits from such risk-sharing will pass on to the ultimate beneficiaries in the form of better access to finance and with more accommodating terms and conditions.
A Family Affair - Safeguarding Malta and Europe's Beating Heart
On 1st October 2018, Prof. Josef Bonnici, Chairman of the Malta Development Bank, opened the conference 'A Family Affair – Safeguarding Malta and Europe's Beating Heart', the first event marking the SME Week hosted by the Chamber of Commerce.

Our Police Staff support the delivery of our operational policing model and are an integral part of our team.
Examples of police staff roles
PCSOs

All employees of Surrey Police are vetted to varying degrees:
Police Staff
Temporary Staff (including Angels)
Vetting is just one part of the application process to join Surrey Police as an employee. One part of vetting is the Authentication process.
You must be able to satisfy the following:
Employment eligibility (right to work in the UK)
Residency qualification
The residency qualification means that you must have a 3 year 'checkable history' in the UK – ideally this means that you would have been resident in the UK for the last 3 years. If we cannot check, then we cannot vet. There are two examples of when we can waive this rule:
Where the person has been employed abroad by the British Forces
Where the person has been employed abroad on official duty of Her Majesty's Government
The different levels of vetting depend upon your job role and what kind of access you are likely to have to our assets, which consist of:
Vetting Levels
Recruitment Vetting (RV) – applies to all Police Officers, Police Staff, Police Community Support Officers (PCSO), Police Support Officers (PSO) and Special Constables. This is the minimum requirement at the start of your career.
It is a requirement of RV that a Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) is carried out. This is renewable every 10 years.
For specified roles (officers & staff), applicants will be required to provide fingerprint and DNA samples by consent. A speculative search against local and national databases will take place prior to appointment and any offer of employment will be conditional upon the results meeting the required vetting standard.
Non Police Personnel Vetting (NPPV) applies to Contractors and there are three different levels, dependant upon the job role and how much access to our assets you are likely to have.
As part of the Police Officer application process, you are currently required to complete a Police Law and Community Course. We are aware that this is self financing, but need to point out that successful completion of this course does not guarantee you a job offer with Surrey Police. It is just another part of the Police Officer application process.
Subject Access (Data Protection Act) Disclosure
If you have previously requested one of these (they cost £10 and detail if you have any recorded convictions or cautions), please don't rely on the information you have received when completing the caution and conviction declaration on your vetting form. The national systems searched by the Vetting Team may show other incidents that for various reasons prevent them being disclosed to you under Data Protection legislation.
It cannot be stressed highly enough that honesty is the best policy when completing your vetting forms. Absolute honesty is required and deceit at any stage of the process may have an adverse impact on your application.
Do not attempt to hide or withhold any information. Lying on your application / vetting form, concealing the truth or deliberately withholding information is a very serious matter and a lot of people are rejected at the vetting stage for this reason. If in any doubt, declare the incident and do not be persuaded by any other party to do otherwise.
You will be required to declare:
Your previous names and any alias names that you have used
Your address history for the last 5 years
Your partner and their address history for the last 5 years
Your parents and your partner's parents
Your full, half & step siblings
Your children (if aged over 10)
All co-residents at your current address (lodgers, other family etc)
If you have any cautions or convictions
If you have ever been arrested
If you have been involved in an investigation
If you have any criminal associates and if so, their details
If there is a reason that the Vetting Unit need to explore further, then you may be invited to a vetting interview. A degree of sensitivity will be used – this is not an interrogation!
It is the job of the Vetting Unit to display unswerving neutrality and to establish a rapport with you. The purpose of the interview is for you to give a confidential, detailed explanation of an incident or scenario that the Vetting Officer has decided they need to explore further before a decision can be made.
Family/ Associates with a criminal history
Some of your declared family members may have links to criminality. If this is the case, the Vetting Manager will conduct a risk assessment to quantify:
How you are linked to them?
What are the type of offences they may have committed?
How often and under what circumstances do you see them?
The risk they may pose to you, as an employee of Surrey Police.
The main reasons why people fail the vetting process:
Non declaration of cautions or convictions – lying or concealing the truth or deliberately withholding information.
If you have a Caution or Conviction in the last 5 years. This will include a Penalty Notice for Disorder, a Reprimand, a Warning or a Final Warning. This rule will apply unless you are able to give evidence of any exceptionally compelling circumstances.
Finances - If you have a County Court Judgment, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement, are currently declared Bankrupt or you are subject to a Debt Relief Order. There are no exceptions here.
Having a historic Caution or Conviction (particularly if it was when you were a Juvenile), may not necessarily bar you from appointment. Each vetting case will be examined upon its own merits. Points to be considered would generally include your age at the time of the offence, if you ever had repeated offending and the length of time passed since the offence was committed.
Your vetting...
... will be rejected if you have ever been convicted for any of the following offences, at any age (life ban):
Buggery
Hostage taking
Firearms offences
Racially motivated / homophobic offences
Domestic violence offences
Death by reckless driving, or
You have ever been sentenced to imprisonment for more than 10 years.
...would normally be rejected (unless there are exceptionally compelling circumstances) If you have committed:
A violence related offence (Grevious Bodily Harm (GBH) or Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)
Possession of fi rearms or offensive weapons
Going equipped to steal
An offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 – being sentenced up to 10 years imprisonment
A sexual offence with a child under 18
Gross indecency
Acts in which indecency was involved
Abuse or neglect of children
A public order offence
A dishonesty related offence – theft, fraud, deception, burglary
Interference of the Administration of Justice
Involvement in Class A drugs, or more than one occasion of Class B drugs
Supplying drugs of any kind
Reckless or dangerous driving in the last 10 years
An offence of drink driving or drug driving in the last 10 years
More than one time of drink / drug driving or being drunk in charge of a vehicle
If you have been cautioned or convicted within the last 5 years of:
Driving with no insurance
Failing to stop after an accident
Driving whilst disqualified
Receiving more than three endorsable traffic convictions, including fixed penalty notices (speeding, contravening a red traffic light etc)
2 or more regulatory offences (no vehicle excise licence etc)
Prison Sentences
Any person who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment (custodial, suspended or deferred) will be rejected at the vetting stage. If you need any further guidance please call the Vetting Team on 01483 633 333.
Many other professions have a Code of Ethics, and in 2014 a Code of Ethics for policing was introduced. Every day officers and staff make critical judgements and decisions and they do so using this Code which covers our professional standards, principles and the way we make our decisions.
Our nine principles from the Code of Ethics
Find out more about the Code of Ethics.
To join Surrey Police in any role you will need to prove your right to work in the UK.
Do I have right to work in the UK?
Your right to work in the UK depends on your immigration status - this is also called your 'leave'. If you don't have the right to work, you might be able to apply for it.
You automatically have the right to work in the UK if:
You're a British or Irish citizen
You have pre-settled or settled status from the EU Settlement Scheme - or you've applied and you're waiting for a decision
You have a family permit from the EU Settlement Scheme
You have indefinite leave to enter or remain in the UK
You have right of abode in the UK
You might have a right to work in the UK if you have a visa with a time limit. This is called having 'limited leave to enter or remain'.
If you entered the UK illegally or your leave has ended, you don't have the right to work in the UK.
Proving your right to work in the UK
You might be able to prove your right to work online or by showing your employer certain documents. Any document you show your employer must be:
Valid - you can't use a document that's expired unless it's a British or Irish passport
The original document - you can't use a copy, however you can use a replacement birth certificate if you have lost the original.
If your document is expiring soon and you've applied to extend your leave, you can still prove your right to work. You might need to use a different document or ask your employer to contact the Home Office Employer Checking Service (ECS) - it depends what kind of leave you have.
For further information about Right to work in the UK, please refer to the GOV.UK webpages.
Before you decide to apply for a job, you may wish to consider whether you are suited to a role working for an organisation with the principles defined in the Code of Ethics.
If you have a criminal conviction or a caution that you feel may affect your application to a current vacancy please contact the recruitment desk on [email protected] who will seek further advice from the Vetting Unit and respond to you.
You may also want to consider whether you are happy with the checks made on your current and historic circumstances and the length of time it takes to make these checks.
Luke - Contact Centre Officer
"I previously worked in the travel industry, but wanted to change career and was attracted to the role of a Contact Centre Officer in Surrey Police's contact centre as it was an opportunity to do something that matters.
I can make a real difference in this role, and can do something to help in people's darkest moments. I'm never bored! One second I can be dealing with a relatively mundane call, and the next I'm picking up a 999 call so there's definitely excitement. I regularly get the opportunity to use my life skills and the team's really good too; I have colleagues I admire and trust."
Juliet - Senior Communications Officer
"I joined the Corporate Communications department here five years ago on a temporary contract covering a maternity leave. I had no idea that I was pregnant with my first son at the time!
"Luckily for me, despite my own impending requirement for maternity leave, a permanent position became available and I now work across two teams, specialising in the delivery of our public information awareness campaigns.
"The organisation is a perfect fit for me, allowing me to work flexible hours and achieve the work/life balance that I need as a (now) mum of two. Opportunities for career progression have opened up for me, and I get a real buzz from the variety of projects I am involved in that all play their part in protecting our communities."
Nickie - Force Control Room Operator
"The Force Control Room (FCR) is a fast paced, often stressful place to work which is open 24/7. No two days are ever the same. Having worked in the FCR for over 14 years now I can safely say you will never be bored, but it does take a certain type of individual to be able to multi-task and work at high speed.
The FCR is at the heart of the force, prioritising calls from the Contact Centre, from members of the public and ensuring officers are dispatched and kept updated at all times. Apart from this we also deal with several spontaneous incidents that occur throughout the shift and many other admin tasks.
This role is not for the faint-hearted however it is an extremely rewarding job for the right individual."
Rosie - Contact Centre Officer
"I studied public services at college and then worked at a leisure centre before deciding I needed more job security. The job is exciting and definitely keeps you on your toes. You walk in at the start of the shift and don't know what you're going to get. Balancing shift work and family life is easier than I thought it would be. The shift pattern is structured and planned well in advance so you can arrange your life around it."
Sam - Senior Analyst
"I'm a senior analyst in Surrey Police's performance and analysis team. Day to day that means we identify the strategic risks and issues facing the force, working with our virtual data warehouse and using a tool called Tableau to visualise the information. We then make recommendations based on the data.
"We work with anyone in the force, although it tends to be more senior officers; as a team we do a lot a work that goes directly to the Chief Constable and Deputy Chief Constable.
"I fell into this role really. After my degree in criminology at Aberystwyth, and then a Masters at the University of Leicester, I sent out CVs to various police forces and decided on Surrey because of one person on the interview panel who was especially encouraging and made a real impact on me.
"Surrey Police is a good place to work, with opportunities to progress if that's what you want. I started in 2013, and was promoted to senior analyst in 2015."
Robert - Data Protection Officer
"Having a degree in History and a working background in media I joined Surrey Police in 2012 and never looked back. Since my first day I have been fortunate that the skills I held were recognised, developed and encouraged by my line management which ultimately led me to my current role as Data Protection Officer where my remit is to ensure the Force's legal responsibilities are upheld.
"As the single point of contact regarding data protection matters I am involved in all areas of the Force so while often challenging, no two days are ever the same and you are constantly learning in an ever changing field where actions and decisions have real world connotations.
"While such an environment would not suit some, joining Surrey Police has been a fantastic opportunity and if you have the mind set and determination to achieve then there are real opportunities for progression in a professional and supportive environment."
Peter - Police Community Support Officer
"I spent 38 years in the RAF, from 1972 to 2010, as an aircraft technician. I had various jobs on leaving the RAF but I wanted something where I'd be working with the community, then I came across the PCSO role which was perfect. I'd be out in the fresh air, not tied to a desk and helping the public. I've been doing this role for three years now and I'm so glad I made the change. No two days are the same and I feel really useful in the community.
"I would definitely recommend this as a job to anyone my age. All I would say is that you do need to keep yourself in good physical condition.
"The Force is very accommodating. I'm about to start a three day flexible working pattern as my daughter is about to have twins and this will enable my wife and I to help out."

SUBSEA engineer NauticAWT's 60.75 per cent-owned Malaysian unit has sold off a loss-making Papua New Guinea subsidiary for RM1 (S$0.32), the group said in a Singapore Exchange filing on Wednesday.
It said the Papua New Guinea company, AWT International (PNG), had net liabilities of S$1.1 million and had a net loss of S$66,000 as at Nov 30 this year.
Selling it was part of the group's internal restructuring and in line with the group's cessation of operations in Papua New Guinea, it added.
