← Blind Tandem Riders
THE HOTTEST TICKET IN TOWN – SCKLM 2015 →
This Story Must Be Told & Retold
Posted on May 15, 2015 by Gus Ghani
Look 12 o'clock, Eddy (L) with Jeffrey (R)
One month ago, 6 friends got together to form a blind tandem cycling team & we called ourselves, "BBT" which stood for BESS (Blind Empowerment Society of Selangor) Blind Team. We have 3 tandem bikes called The Black Horse, The Black Puma and The Iron Lady. The pairings are Jeffrey (Navigator) & Eddy (Blind Pillion); Gus (Navigator) & Steven (Blind Pillion); and the female pairing of Maryati (Navigator) & Siow Ling (Blind Pillion).
Our First Training Session in USJ2
OUR GROUP VISION is to introduce the physical, health & psychological benefits of cycling to the Blind population in Malaysia.
OUR GROUP MISSION is to demonstrate that everyone, including the blind, can ride a bicycle.
Blind Rider on board
WHY CYCLING FOR THE BLIND?
Because cycling has proven effective in improving the physical & psychological wellbeing, as well as, elevate the social standing of the Blind.
Every Saturday during 4-6pm, put tandem team members train together in SS14, Subang Jaya. We also encourage other blind people, our friends & supporters to join us for a ride or see firsthand how we ride our unique tandem bikes.
CYCLE ASIA KL 2015
Meeting with Cycle Asia KL
We will riding in our very first official cycling event at the prestigious Cycle Asia KL on the 14th June 2015 under The Challenge (48km) category. We are indebted to Cycle Asia KL for giving us this extraordinary opportunity to participate in The Challenge, and to promote our group vision too.
I lost my eyesight because of dengue
More details of Cycle Asia KL 2015. is provided below in the official press release below.
OUR INSPIRATIONAL TEAM CAPTAIN
Eddy wears Naroo mask to protect against dust
Eddy became blind in 1997 as a result of suffering from dengue. He was infected with dengue while he was working as a project trouble-shooter during the construction of KLIA. The disease destroyed his eyesight, hearing, kidney & his right leg became very weak which meant he could no longer work, and his wife, unable to accept an invalid as a husband, walked out of his life for good with his insurance payout. Eddy felt buried alive under a huge rubble of darkness, sadness, loneliness & helplessness. In effect, the light of his world was as good as switched-off.
Miraculously, Eddy's bravely clung on to his undying believe that life is worth fighting for, no matter how tragically hopeless things have become. Like a heaven-sent angel, a man called
Godfrey (L) taking brail notes
Godfrey who is totally blind from birth, rescued Eddy from the hellish pit of despair, and helped Eddy cope with his blindness and his broken life. With renewed faith, Eddy started putting the broken pieces of his life back in order, one step at a time.
For starters, Eddy was overweight, and he engaged a personal trainer to help strengthen his physique. Thereafter, Eddy was happy to be able to spend time hiking. He, even, managed to scale Mount Kinabalu with his close friend, Godfrey. Sadly, Eddy's hiking days came to an abrupt end, when their guides quit since Eddy's slow pace would cause them to reach the end of their hikes, a good two hours after everyone has gone home, tired and starving. At this point, Eddy was searching for a new outdoor pursuit. It was not until he visited his sister in Shanghai that he accidentally discovered his new love.
Shanghai is a huge place, and Eddy's mother, his brother, and himself were all getting extremely tired of walking from one distance place to another in this modern cosmopolitan city. Then, Eddy's brother suggested that they rent bicycles. Incredulous, Eddy exclaimed, "How on earth, do you expect me, being blind, to ride a bike?!" His brother replied, "We will ride a tandem bicycle together." Still skeptical, Eddy said, "How do you know they have two-seater bikes here?!" His brother responded, "This is China. You can find everything, here!" The rest was history.
As soon as Eddy returned to Malaysia, he searched high and low for a tandem bicycle. It took him 8 months, to eventually find & buy one. Then, the next question was who was going to be his navigator. Eddy's excitement soon diminished when he realised that there was no one around who was willing to ride with him. Undeterred, everyday for one year, Eddy would carry the heavy tandem down two floors by himself, and he would sit down by the courtyard, spinning his bike's pedals and hoping to catch the attention of anyone who could ride with him. No one came forward.
Eddy's first love, Iron Horse, in foreground
Finally, a friend from church introduced Eddy to someone who was willing to ride with Eddy. Once again Eddy's newly-found happiness was cut short when Eddy's navigator became badly injured as a result of a fall, while they were speeding too fast down Genting Sempah. It was not until one year ago that Eddy met his trusty navigator, Jeffrey. Together, the pair made a formidable team, taking part in cycling events such as the Klang Premier Century 2014 & the Rembau Century Ride 2015. It was during the latter event when I first met Jeffrey & Eddy.
USJ Police Station
They told me about their two blind friends, Steven & Siow Ling, who could not find any tandem navigators to ride with them. So, not knowing anything about riding a tandem nor how to navigate a blind pillion rider, I took a leap of faith & joined their first training session one month ago. At first, I found it difficult to keep balance, steer and relay important information to my pillion rider, all at the same time. However, like any new skill, with some patience and practice, I can begin to see some improvements as the weeks progressed. Last Saturday, my wife, Maryati, also started navigating for pillion rider, Siow Ling. I got to admit, my rookie wife & Siow Ling showed great potential to develop into talented future riders.
our 4th training session
In just a short period, our team have progressed far, and we have set ourselves cycling goals to keep us sufficiently motivated to train every Saturday together without fail. I strongly believe that with the capable guidance of our coaches, Jeffrey & Eddy, there will be no challenge too big for us. For now, our focus is fixed on completing our first official cycling challenge as a group in The Challenge (48km) category of Cycle Asia KL on the 14th June 2015. We are thoroughly excited at the prospect of riding together with so many other cyclists, and we hope along the way, there will be more blind people inspired to follow in our footsteps and do the unthinkable.
++NEWS RELEASE++
CYCLE ASIA KUALA LUMPUR 2015 RETURNS
TO DATARAN MERDEKA!
Fourth edition of Malaysia's largest mass participation cycling event on closed public roads welcomes cyclists of all skill levels. Anyone Can Ride!
KUALA LUMPUR, 9 APRIL 2015 – Great news for all cycling enthusiasts! Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur (previously known as OCBC Cycle Malaysia) is returning to Dataran Merdeka from 12 to 14 June 2015, offering cyclists of all levels the exhilarating thrill of riding together through the heart of Kuala Lumpur on closed public roads with exciting cycling categories to boot!
Supported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports and Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's largest mass participation cycling event on closed public roads having registered over 6,000 participants in 2014. True to its philosophy that "Anyone Can Ride", it provides a fun-filled experience for cyclists of all ages and skill level, be it professionals, enthusiasts, families and children.
Returning to the iconic Dataran Merdeka, the three-day cycling festival not only offers participants a fun-filled weekend of sweating it out but also a carnival-like atmosphere at the grounds for participants and spectators alike to mingle and spend time with family and friends.
"It's wonderful to be back in Malaysia and we look forward to giving all Malaysian and travelling participants a truly unique and iconic experience at Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur 2015. Whether you're an amateur or enthusiast, cycling across Dataran Merdeka and the heart of the city without worry is one of a kind," said Chris Robb, Managing Director of event owner and organiser Spectrum Worldwide.
Accompanying Chris Robb at the launch was Wan Ahmad Lotfi Wan Ibrahim, who is serving as an advisor for Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur. Affectionately known as Pak Wan, he brings with him extensive experience from his years as Chief Operating Officer of Le Tour De Langkawi.
Exciting Cycling Categories for Everyone!
Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur will be rolling out seven different categories, ranging in distance from 100m to 48km. The 100m and 150m Tricycle Ride promises children between the ages two and five a safe and enjoyable ride, while The Kids' Ride (5km) is open to children aged six to nine years old. The Junior Challenge, a 30 minute ride for those aged 10 to 12 years, are for those aspiring to be future Malaysian cyclists.
The various kids' ride will be staged on Saturday where kids from two years and above will be able to showcase their raw talent on their bikes. Saturday's action will then come to a close paving the way for the test of endurance and adrenaline pumping challenge.
Sunday kicks off with The Challenge (48km) followed by The Community Ride (24km), the flagship categories of Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur that start from Dataran Merdeka through iconic landmarks such as Lake Gardens, the Petronas Twin Towers, and Muzium Negara.
Cycling as a Healthy Lifestyle & Going Green
Having witnessed the rise of community cycling events in Malaysia, Pak Wan believes that the Cycle Asia platform can be the catalyst to inculcate cycling as a healthy lifestyle across Asia. He said, "With events like Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur, we're beginning to see cycling become more than just a novelty for the minority. In Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, more and more people are buying into it as a lifestyle for healthier living. I do foresee this culture spreading throughout Asia which can only mean good things for our health."
He also commended recent initiatives organised by Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Yang Berbahagia Dato Seri Haij Ahmad Phesal Bin Haji Talib, reiterated the environmental benefits that cycling brings to a major city. "The Datuk Bandar has been a tremendous supporter and his efforts in making KL Car Free Morning such a huge success is admirable. With more bicycle lanes to improve safety standards, cycling can be a viable alternative mode of transport to reduce carbon emissions from automobiles," he said.
One Big Cycling Family Network
Chris Robb further commented that the uniqueness of Cycle Asia is that it not only encourages the community to develop a healthy lifestyle but as an opportunity to connect with each other through the cycling event. Having said that, he also mentioned during his speech that Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur 2015 has successfully received over whelming response of up to 2,000 registered participants and is growing strong in number.
"One of the uniqueness of Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur is that you get to meet so many different people from all over the world. We've had participants from Europe, South America and the Middle East all coming together for the love of cycling. It's really amazing. This year's ride will be astounding and to our cyclists look out for more exciting news in the near future," he further added.
Participants and spectators can also enjoy a huge range of sports-related products, services and entertainment at the official Sports & Lifestyle Expo Located at Dataran Merdeka grounds. The Sports and Lifestyle Expo offering more than 40 booths consisting of cycling and lifestyle deals will keep the entire family entertained throughout the event and is set to offer exclusive deals for Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur participants and spectators alike.
Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur 2015 will once more work closely with Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) and the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to facilitate the highest possible safety standards for all the participants.
A portion of all registration fees from Cycle Asia Kuala Lumpur 2015 will be given to the charity project Sponsor One Bicycle for a Student. This project is run by Sala Baï Hotel & Restaurant School – founded in 2002 by the French NGO Agir pour le Cambodge assisting poverty stricken student mode of transportation to attend school enabling them to achieve independence towards their future success.

With this Ambient/Electronica double CD the Berlin Label Klangwirkstoff Records released a compilation of 20 international artists which are working in the field of practical music philosophy.
The tunings of the keynotes of this compositions are based on resonances which are coming from nature. For Example planettones (overtones from orbital cycles), molecular resonances (spectral analysis) or the Schumann Resonance (earth magnet field).
This should support the possibillity to come into harmony with the way of things by reaching an energetic resonance with nature. Planetary tuned music is like molecular tuned music composed in accordance with strict harmonical rules and is based on the natural laws which govern the "cosmic octave".
Klangwirkstoff can be understood as a catalyst in music theory and it deals with the influence of deduced rhythms, resonances and frequencies in nature.


This letter goes out to anyone and everyone that is thinking about taking their life right now because of depression or anything else. I first of all want to say I apologize for whatever has been done or said to you to make you want to do this horrific act. We will often times view a suicide as a single act when in reality it is the final act of many acts done by that person and other people toward that person. It usually happens out of desperation because they feel like they have nowhere else to run in this world. Isolation is the enemy's best friend. He feels that if he can get you isolated, then he can make you struggle with feelings that you never thought you would feel. It breaks my heart because I know how much you are loved by your creator. You have a God who loves you and knows you by name.
Anytime you feel like you cannot take any more of this life you've been given, please remember that you are loved and cared for in this world. You may not feel like anyone is on your side. There are people, trust me. You may even feel like no one will miss you if you commit suicide, there will be people. For all of you students, you have an army of teachers who love you so much that they have devoted their lives to pouring into you from an educational side of things. They are also open to answer any advice you may have for life. Take advantage of these teachers. They love you and care about you. You have local student pastors in the area who are literally sacrificing their life because they want to better yours. They work long hours and fight for the next generation because they believe in you. If you aren't plugged into a church you are missing out on all the love and care that is offered there. Lastly you have friends that are there for you. You may tell me that your friends are the reason you're feeling this way. That's a valid answer. However, I want to tell you that maybe you just have not found the right friends yet. Keep fighting because there are people out there who love you simply because you are you.
The media may make it look like everything will be alright after you do this thing you're thinking about, but it won't be once you're gone. Your family will suffer, your school will breakdown in pain, and your friends will weep because you're no longer here with them. The feeling of no one caring is straight from the pit of hell. Satan wants you to feel worthless because he wants to break down all things good. God made you in His image. Have you messed up, sure you have. We all have. We're broken, messed up, hypocritical people who are all in need of a savior. Do not allow social media, television, or anything else to push you toward making this permanent decision for a temporary problem.
God sent His one and only son down to earth to die for your sins. That's right, you. You were worth God sending someone down to earth to die for. His name is Jesus and He cares and loves you so much you cannot even imagine it. Jesus lived a perfect life, died a death meant for us, and rose three days later back to life. The enemy thought He won when Jesus died on the cross, but how wrong he was. Jesus defeated death and took away all of our sin, shame, and anything else you may be feeling right now. All you have to do is accept Him into your heart as Lord & Savior of your life.
So, if you're struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, or whatever else please reach out to someone and get help. Accepting Jesus into your life is a first step toward recovering from these thoughts that can literally kill you. You need a community of people to rally around you through your toughest days. Do not be ashamed to talk about it. Life is hard, but it gets a little easier when we surround ourselves with people who are FOR us. The enemy is going to want you to stay quiet, do not allow him to win that battle. Open up and let someone in on your situation.
I love every word and I loveyousoooo much.

Cherry Hand Pies, Hand pies are ideal for serving at get-togethers where individuals need to stand and eat: no plates or forks vital, only a major stack o' napkins! Individuals will be eating these handover clench hand. Don't hesitate to utilize fruits or any little berry of your decision. You might have extra filling, which can be solidified and utilized later.
Preheat broiler to 350 degrees F. Line an expansive preparing sheet with material paper or Silpat.
To make the filling, whisk 1/2 glass sugar, cornstarch, and salt in an expensive dish. Include fruits and mix with an extensive spoon until cherries are uniformly covered with the sugar blend.
Expel the pie outside layer mixture from the icebox. In the event the hitter is hard to relocate, let this relax in room temp until it is less demanding to do business with. On a daintily floured surface, reveal every plate of batter until it's around 1/8-creep thick. Removed 5-or 6-inch circles utilizing a huge cake cutter or the edge of a dish. Line the batter hovers on the readied preparing sheet, fill each, and press the edges together with your fingertips. You might need to seal the edges with a couple drops of water. Cut an opening in every hand pie. Brush the highest points of the hand pies with non-dairy milk, and liberally sprinkle with sugar. Heat for 30 to 35 minutes, or until brilliant. Let cool marginally before serving.
Makes eight to Ten hand pies.

Press Release: 24 COVID-19 Cases Found in Region
Contact: Reba Lean, Public Relations Manager
Nome, Alaska – Norton Sound Health Corporation identified 24 new COVID-19 cases in seven communities on Tuesday, Jan. 4. Twelve of the cases were in Nome, five were in Elim, two were in Unalakleet, two were in Shishmaref, and there was one case each in St. Michael, Golovin, and Little Diomede.
In Nome, seven of the cases were travel-related, two were close contacts to previously identified cases, and three were community spread. One of the Nome cases was a NSHC employee. In Elim, all five cases were community spread. In both Unalakleet and Shishmaref, there was one travel-related case and one close contact case. In St. Michael, Golovin, and Diomede, each case was travel-related. Leadership has been notified in each community.
As the Omicron Variant becomes more prevalent in Alaska, NSHC has heard from state health officials that they are confident the variant has spread to this region. This variant is responsible for the vast majority of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S., and that will become the case in this region soon, as well.
The Omicron Variant is more capable of evading immunity from previous COVID-19 infections and vaccinations than previous variants. However, some level of immunity is better than none. The best protection against this variant continues to be vaccination, including booster vaccinations.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting a booster dose at least six months after the second dose of Moderna, five months after the second dose of Pfizer, and two months after getting a Johnson & Johnson vaccination.
The CDC has updated its guidance for quarantining and isolation. If an individual is diagnosed with COVID-19, patients should isolate for a minimum of five days and wear a face mask for an additional five days.
If someone is identified as a close contact and is not fully vaccinated and boosted, if eligible, they should quarantine for five days. After a negative test on day five, they should continue to wear a mask in public for five additional days. Those who are fully vaccinated and have received a booster dose do not need to quarantine but are encouraged to wear a mask in public places and test on day five.
There are currently 61 active cases in the region: 34 in Nome, 11 in St. Michael, five in Stebbins, five in Elim, two in Shishmaref, and one in each Unalakleet, Brevig Mission, Golovin, and Little Diomede.

With only 1 week left of summer holidays left our lives will be getting busier and finding time to make dinner may become a little more challenging. To save time you can use pre-made meatballs (chicken, beef or veggie) from the grocery store's freezer section or make them fresh from your own recipe.
Heat oil in a large, shallow pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet onion and peppers and cook until slightly softened – about 5 minutes.
Blend chicken stock, curry powder and cornstarch together until sugar and cornstarch is dissolved. Pour over meatballs and peppers.
Simmer, stirring often, until meatballs are heated through – about 10 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice if using.

Diversity+Inclusion
Johns Hopkins programs highlighted as part of White House STEM equity initiative
Bonnie Swenor, founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Disability Health Research Center, serves on STEMM Opportunity Alliance advisory council
/ Published Dec 23, 2022

Johns Hopkins University's recently released diversity action plan, its Vivien Thomas Scholars Initiative, and leading Johns Hopkins disability equity expert Bonnie Swenor received recognition last week as part of a new White House effort to overcome historical inequities in access to the nation's science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine enterprise.
The White House Summit on STEMM Equity and Excellence was hosted on Monday, Dec. 12, by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in collaboration with the American Association for the Advance of Science and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. The event marked the launch of the STEMM Opportunity Alliance, which will coordinate activities across the U.S. government; businesses; and civic, academic, nonprofit, community-based, and philanthropic organizations to drive change in the nation's STEMM ecosystem by dramatically expanding access and opportunities. The alliance was established to help bring individuals from underrepresented backgrounds and communities into the U.S. STEMM workforce, including people with disabilities.
"People with disabilities face many barriers to being included in and benefitting from STEM," Swenor, founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Disability Health Research Center, said during a panel discussion about barriers to inclusion during last week's launch event. "But the two biggest barriers are ableism and a lack of accessibility. As a person with a disability myself, I can attest those are profound and pervasive threats to STEM equity. … Structural ableism is baked into our policies, our procedures, our programs, and much of STEM really is still undergirded by ableist ideas.
"Unfortunately, disability is not often part of these diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts," she added while crediting the Biden administration for making accessibility a focus of its efforts alongside diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Swenor, who is also an associate professor at JHU's School of Nursing, serves on the STEMM Opportunity Alliance advisory council.
Thank you @WhiteHouse for celebrating the Vivien Thomas Scholars Initiative at @JohnsHopkins. With our HBCU and MSI partners, and the support of @BloombergDotOrg' Greenwood Initiative, we are working to diversify representation in STEM fields.

— Johns Hopkins University (@JohnsHopkins) December 13, 2022
The White House released a lengthy list of commitments made by STEMM Opportunity Alliance partners, including:
JHU's Second Roadmap on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, an ambitious and wide-ranging set of 24 universitywide goals unveiled in December 2021, plus divisional goals developed over the past year. Progress updates will be shared publicly during an annual DEI Summit in the fall
The Vivien Thomas Scholar Initiative, which aims to address historic underrepresentation by creating pathways for exceptional students from historically Black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions to pursue PhDs in STEM fields at Johns Hopkins. The program, backed by a $150 million gift from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Greenwood Initiative, welcomed its first cohort of 20 scholars this past summer.
Over six years, the Vivien Thomas Scholar Initiative will grow to support 100 PhD students in JHU's more than 30 STEM programs at the schools of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, and Public Health. It also includes the creation of new and expanded summer and post-baccalaureate experiences for talented, diverse undergraduates to build connections with Johns Hopkins faculty and students, and to provide exposure to the university's research and scholarship.
Earlier this year, the university committed an additional $5 million to support similar pathway programs in non-STEM fields.
"We are so delighted and honored to have both Dr. Swenor and the other Johns Hopkins DEI initiatives recognized," said Nancy Kass, vice provost for graduate and professional education and a professor of bioethics and public health. "One of our commitments at Hopkins is to continuously work to identify ways to bring students who have historically had less presence at R1 universities to Johns Hopkins."

A 62-year-old woman claims she's been forced to leave her home after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) docked her benefits for turning up late for a meeting.
Faith Hurford, from Hillesley near Stroud, who suffers with a range of medical conditions that haven't been disclosed, says the benefit sanction means she is unable to afford the rent and has to move away from her home because of the DWP's cruel decision.
The Stroud News and Journal reports that in spite of her health problems, Faith had to travel a staggering 15 miles (one way) to attend a meeting about her Universal Credit claim in Stroud.
She tried to explain the reason for her lateness but her reasonable appeals fell on deaf ears.
Faith says the sanction has cost her nearly £200 in lost benefit payments.

Rose-Hulman Athletic History Project Reminds Fans of Past Success
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology athletic department publicly released its "Athletic History Project" from March 23-June 13 as part of the COVID-19 pandemic stoppage of athletic events in the spring 2018-19 academic year.
The Rose-Hulman Athletic History Project was designed to educate current Fightin' Engineer fans on the outstanding and unique history of Rose-Hulman and Rose Polytechnic athletics. The project allowed fresh content for the Rose-Hulman athletics website and social media channels during our athletic downtime caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Athletic History Project covered one memorable season from each of Rose-Hulman's current 20 varsity athletic teams every weekday from March 23-June 13. We hope the Athletic History Project reaffirms that Rose-Hulman has a tradition of excellence in athletics, as well as the nation's best undergraduate engineering, science and mathematics education in the classroom.

16-year-old dies after hitting tree at Eldora
This marks the second death in as many days at Eldora Mountain Resort in Boulder County.

Updated: 5:16 PM MST March 1, 2021
BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — A 16-year-old boy died after slamming into a tree at Eldora Mountain Resort.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) said a 911 call came in just after 11 a.m. Monday. The teen had hit the tree while skiing on the Lower Ambush Run and sustained serious injuries, BCSO said. People at Eldora tried to save the boy's life, but were unsuccessful, according to BCSO.
The teen's name and cause of death have not yet been released by the Boulder County Coroner's Office.
The teen's death marks the second death in as many days at Eldora. A 26-year-old man snowboarding on the Jolly Jug Trail at the resort hit some trees Sunday afternoon, according to BCSO.
The man was wearing a helmet when the crash occurred, BCSO said. The sheriff's office did not say if the teen was wearing a helmet in his crash.
Two other skiers were injured Saturday afternoon at Eldora when they collided toward the lower end of the Jolly Jug run.
The sheriff's office said those teen-aged skiers suffered injuries not considered to be life-threatening.

New bus service for Culham Science Centre
A dedicated bus service has been launched to help employees, apprentices and other site users travel between Abingdon and Culham Science Centre from 9 September 2019.
The new bus service coincides with the completion of Phase 2 of Oxfordshire Advanced Skills (OAS) at Culham Science Centre – purpose-built to train up to 350 apprentices per year in engineering disciplines – due to be officially opened by Formula One legend, Ross Brawn, in October 2019.
Caroline Livingstone, Head of Property, Culham Science Centre / UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) said:
"Culham Science Centre is a major employment site in Oxfordshire with over 2,400 people serving over 50 companies. A dedicated bus service will be of huge benefit as we look to continuously support sustainable travel in addition to helping businesses attract new employees."
Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) is facilitating delivery of the bus service following a commitment made by UKAEA under Section 106 Planning Obligations for the OAS building.
Isabel Wilkesmann, Estate Support Officer, UKAEA said:
"With the new bus service running six times a day, it's really convenient. The flexibility this offers gives me options to commute allowing me to make the most of my working day and my personal commitments."
Bus number 45 will operate Monday – Friday (except bank holidays) during key commuter hours between 7.00am – 9.00am and 4.00pm – 6.00pm with an additional service on Fridays running between 2.00pm – 3.00pm.

If the user presses the button, Porta Holiday / Holidu shall forward the user's booking request to the third party supplier and shall immediately confirm the successful transmission of the booking request to the third party supplier to the user by e-mail. This confirmation email does not yet lead to the conclusion of a contract between the user and the third party supplier. The third-party provider issues corresponding declarations of acceptance or rejection separately and directly to the user.
2.3.3. The user is requested to carefully complete the mandatory fields in the booking form (in particular personal details, contact details such as e-mail address, payment details). Incorrect information can lead to errors in the brokerage contract or the contract with the third-party provider, for which the user is then responsible.
2.3.4. The text of the contract and booking data are stored by Porta Holiday / Holidu for a limited period of time for the purpose of processing the brokerage relationship, but cannot be accessed by the User via the Internet. The User is advised to ensure that the booking data and the text of the contract are stored permanently.
2.3.5. If Porta Holiday / Holidu mediates the booking of an accommodation, a travel or another service, a contract is exclusively concluded between the third party supplier and the user. Porta Holiday / Holidu shall not become part of this contractual relationship and shall not itself provide any accommodation, travel or transport services to the user. The third party provider shall be solely responsible to the user for the proper performance of a mediated service, regardless of its legal nature. All rights in connection with the booking made by the user are to be asserted directly against the third party supplier as the contractual partner and not against Porta Holiday / Holidu. This also applies to any legal rights or rights voluntarily granted by the third party supplier, such as rights of cancellation or withdrawal or other declarations concerning the contractual relationship or the service relationship between the user and the third party supplier (e.g. notifications of defects).
2.3.6. As far as Porta Holiday / Holidu has not assumed a corresponding contractual obligation by explicit agreement with the user, Porta Holiday / Holidu does not guarantee for the conclusion of the contract with the third party supplier indicated by the user in the booking request.
3. Notes on the terms of payment
Payment for the mediated services can be made in any manner accepted by the third-party provider.

Q: Jsonkey in Api Response has $ I'm basically using retrofit to create a request to a server, however the date is stored in mongodb and the request returns a response that contiants $date, is there a way to retrieve it?

A: I'm assuming from the question title that you mean there's a json key with a dollar sign and I'll assume you're using Gson too, because that's common with Retrofit. If so, then you're looking for SerializedName
This annotation lets you specify the name in the json for the key. So in your case you'd want to add it to your model. Something like:
public class Foo {
  @SerializedName("$date")
  private String date;
}

in kotlin:
data class foo(
   @SerializedName("\$date")
   val date: String)

This annotation is used by Gson to serialize and deserialize the object into and from json.
I'm sure other libraries that can be plugged into retrofit have something similar.
Also note that on Android this annotation is very handy, because of the obfuscation tools. Usually the models are obfuscated and the variable names change. If you want to keep the right names then this is an approach to it.

Q: Simple Python Nest For Loop Exhausts Memory I have a list of quadruples which is read from a CSV file, with element of the form t =(id, e1, e2, label). The list should contain for every t, the tuple: (someID, e2,e1, 3-label). If not, I need to add to the list.
I have written the following code and narrowed down my list to only 50 tuples.
import nltk
import csv
#file string
fs = "mydataset.csv"
with open(fs) as infile:
    rows = list(csv.reader(infile))[950:1000]
    size = len(rows)
    print("initial size =", size)
    newSize = size
    firstId = int(rows[1][0])
    lastId = int(rows[size-1][0])
    for i in range(size):
        if i % 500 == 0:
            rint("program progression = ", i*100/size, '%', sep ='')
        tempRow = rows[i]
        if tempRow[-1] == '1' or tempRow[-1] == '2':
                for j in range(i+1, size):
                # print("j = ", j)
                    if tempRow[1] == rows[j][2] and tempRow[2] == rows[j][1]:
                        if int(tempRow[3]) == 3-int(rows[j][3]):
                            break
                        else:
                            print("error in row: ", i)
                    else:
                        if j == size -1:
                            lastId +=1
                            print(tempRow[-1])
                            rows += rows +[[ str(lastId), tempRow[2], tempRow[1], str(3-int(tempRow[3])) ]]
                            newSize +=1
                            print("newSize", newSize)
    print("END")

When I run this, it exhausts my memory. It uses over 8GB of memory? What is going on please? My CSC file has only 7200 rows with 4 columns. I really don't know what else I should do.

A: Don't know, but this line looks highly suspect:
rows += rows +[[ str(lastId), tempRow[2], tempRow[1], str(3-int(tempRow[3])) ]]

I can't guess what you're trying to do here, but it's very unlikely this line implements your intent.  This more than doubles the length of rows each time it's executed, and there doesn't appear to be anything in your code that reduces the length of rows.
Making it really simple to get the point across:
>>> rows = [1]
>>> for i in range(20):
...     rows += rows
...     print(i, len(rows))

displays:
0 2
1 4
2 8
3 16
4 32
5 64
6 128
7 256
8 512
9 1024
10 2048
11 4096
12 8192
13 16384
14 32768
15 65536
16 131072
17 262144
18 524288
19 1048576

A: Thank you so much! You got it. I had to do remove +!
rows = rows +[[ str(lastId), tempRow[2], tempRow[1], str(3-int(tempRow[3])) ]]

Корра́до Катта́ни () — главный герой первых четырёх мини-сериалов «Спрут» (, 1984—1989, режиссёры Дамиано Дамиани, Флорестано Ванчини, Луиджи Перелли). Роль комиссара Каттани сыграл актёр Микеле Плачидо.

В первом сериале (1984 год) Каттани — комиссар, начальник криминальной полиции в городе Трапани на Сицилии. Во втором сериале (1985) он становится сотрудником итальянских спецслужб, в третьем мини-сериале (1987) был негласным напарником сотрудника Управления по борьбе с наркотиками США (DEA), в четвёртом сериале (1989) стал руководителем следственной бригады в Милане. Детали более ранней биографии Каттани не приводятся.

В начале «Спрута-2» комиссару, согласно сценарию, было 38 лет. События «Спрута-2» разворачиваются в 1984 году, поэтому можно предположить, что комиссар Каттани родился в 1946 году. Точная дата смерти комиссара названа судьёй Сильвией Конти в «Спруте-5» — 20 марта 1989 года.

Образ
Каттани символизирует собой отважного, неподкупного и весьма умного борца с мафией, настоящего полицейского. В неравной борьбе с бандитами, коррумпированными политиками, продажными полицейскими, циничными наркобаронами, Каттани теряет близких ему людей: семью, коллег и друзей. Однако он не останавливается и в конце концов ценой собственной жизни приводит главарей мафии за решётку.

Образ комиссара Каттани заметно меняется в течение первого сезона. В начале сериала он предстаёт перед зрителями собранным, целеустремлённым человеком, успешно делающим карьеру. У Каттани есть высокопоставленный покровитель, к чьим советам он прислушивается. Но всё резко меняется после похищения дочери комиссара, Паолы. Под давлением шантажа, движимый желанием спасти дочь, Каттани вынужден пойти на сделку с похитителями. Он отбрасывает карьерные соображения, забывает о профессиональном долге, подвергается публичному унижению и сознательно нарушает закон.

Но настоящее превращение Каттани происходит после того, как его жестоко изнасилованную дочь отпускают, и он понимает, что её жизнь необратимо сломана, а все унижения и преступления, на которые ему пришлось пойти, несущие горе и, возможно, смерть другим людям, так и не смогли спасти Паолу. В этот момент Каттани осознаёт всю жестокость и бесчеловечность мафии, и его охватывает желание мести — или, точнее, восстановления попранной справедливости. Эту высшую цель он пронесёт через все последующие серии вплоть до своей смерти.

С течением времени, после гибели дочери, а затем и жены, Каттани становится всё более замкнутым и «тяжёлым» человеком. Внутри него копится не имеющая выхода ярость. Посвящая всё своё время борьбе с преступниками, живя на конспиративных квартирах, Каттани постепенно превращается в бескомпромиссного идеалиста, фанатического защитника справедливости, начинает казаться нелюдимым, резким и грубым. Но это впечатление рассеивается, когда в его жизнь входят новые привязанности — любовь к Джулии Антинари, затем, незадолго до смерти, к судье Сильвии Конти, а также по-отцовски глубокое чувство к маленькой Грете.

В личной жизни комиссар Каттани никогда не был счастлив. Жена изменила ему вскоре после свадьбы, он так и не смог простить её и пятнадцать лет, пока росла дочь, жил в несчастливом браке. Тем не менее семья и дочь были чрезвычайно важны для него. Ради спокойствия Паолы он многие годы жил с нелюбимой женщиной, сохраняя ей верность. Лишь перед самым похищением дочери Каттани отдаляется от жены и заводит роман с Титти Печчи-Шалойя. Гибель дочери, казалось, могла снова сблизить Каттани с женой и даже возродить любовь, однако желание мести в нём взяло верх, а когда его месть была исполнена, жена Каттани оказалась убита мафией в попытке заслонить мужа от пуль киллера. В третьем мини-сериале Каттани снова находит любовь в лице молодой Джулии Антинари, но поставленный перед выбором уехать с ней, бросив всё, или продолжить борьбу с мафией, Каттани выбирает борьбу. В четвёртом мини-сериале, перед своей гибелью, Каттани находит свою последнюю любовь — судью Сильвию Конти, человека такого же принципиального и ненавидящего мафию, как сам комиссар. Но их отношениям не суждено было продлиться, комиссара вскоре убивают, а судье Конти, потерявшей от рук мафии и мужа, и возлюбленного, приходится самой встать на путь возмездия, примеряя на себя в какой-то степени роль комиссара Каттани.

Нужно отметить, что безусловно являя собой отважного и неподкупного борца с мафией, Каттани всё же не был безупречным полицейским. Так, в первом мини-сериале, руководствуясь в большей степени личными мотивами, чем профессиональными, комиссар спровоцировал преступников на покушение на себя, желая устранить со своего пути мафиозо Санте Чиринну. В дальнейших мини-сериалах Каттани также допускал отступления от профессиональных норм, хотя никогда при этом не отступал от норм нравственности, Каттани не был прямолинеен в своей борьбе, ему был свойственен ум, хитрость и даже в некоторой мере коварство в борьбе с преступниками.

В третьем мини-сериале появляется харизматичная фигура, которую можно посчитать антагонистом Каттани — Тано Каридди. Беспринципный, циничный, мертвенно холодный внутри человек, обладая острым умом и отличным финансовым образованием, Карриди в сотрудничестве с мафией организует финансовые махинации огромного, международного масштаба. Каттани вступает с Каридди в непримиримую борьбу и побеждает в ней. Однако, как выясняется, Каридди не так бездушен, как кажется на первый взгляд, и в дальнейшем пути Каридди и мафии разойдутся.

Версии гибели Каттани
В финале четвёртого мини-сериала комиссар Каттани трагически погибает, расстрелянный наёмниками мафии у стены миланской больницы. В следующих сезонах «Спрута» назывались разные, нередко противоречившие друг другу версии насчёт того, кто приказал убить комиссара Каттани. Причастными к его гибели объявлялись Антонио Эспиноза, барон Линори, Ольга Камастра, профессор Рамонте. Седьмой сезон мини-сериала даже имел подзаголовок: «Расследование гибели комиссара Каттани». В десятом сезоне были анонсированы новые «сенсационные» данные о заказчике убийства Каттани, но сюжет мини-сериала оказался скомканным из-за недофинансирования, и заявленная тема осталась нераскрытой.

В книжной новеллизации первых четырёх сезонов сериала, написанной итальянским журналистом Марко Незе, предложено нестандартное решение судьбы комиссара Каттани. Автор оставил читателям возможность самостоятельно выбрать один из двух финалов. Согласно первому финалу, Каттани погибает, как и в мини-сериале. Второй финал адресован тем, кто предпочёл бы видеть комиссара живым: Каттани с Сильвией, невредимые и счастливые, благополучно покидают больницу; для них начинается новая жизнь вдвоём.

Существует также толкование, согласно которому судьбу комиссара Каттани и его семьи следует рассматривать лишь в рамках первого мини-сериала. Так как все продолжения снимались другими режиссёрами по сценариям, написанным другой командой сценаристов, то сезоны, начиная со второго, можно считать своего рода телефанфиками, не влияющими по-настоящему на судьбу персонажей. Первый «Спрут» представлял собой законченную историю с открытым и даже обнадёживающим финалом: дочь Каттани спасена и пошла на поправку, симпатии общественного мнения вновь вернулись к опальному комиссару, коллеги ждут его возвращения на службу, в финальных кадрах Каттани воссоединяется с семьёй. Таким образом, согласно этой трактовке, жив остаётся не только Коррадо Каттани, но также его жена и дочь.

Продолжение без Каттани
Образ несгибаемого комиссара оказался настолько привлекательным, что, несмотря на гибель главного героя в 4-ом сериале, телеэпопею «Спрут» решено было продолжить, было снято ещё 6 мини-сериалов (1990—2001), в которых Каттани эпизодически фигурирует в воспоминаниях других действующих лиц.

В «Спруте-5» и «Спруте-6» главные роли исполнили Патрисия Милларде, сыгравшая неподкупную судью Сильвия Конти, и Витторио Меццоджорно, представший в образе бывшего полицейского Давиде Парди (Ликата).

В 7-м сериале главные роли исполнили Патрисия Милларде и Рауль Бова (комиссар Джанни Бреда). В 8-м и 9-м сериалах в главной роли также был Рауль Бова, но он играл другого персонажа — карабинера Карло Аркути. В 10-м сериале в главных ролях были Патрисия Милларде и Ремо Джироне (Тано Каридди).

This Easter, put your treats in a one-of-a-kind handmade basket filled with goodies from Laughing Moon Chocolates. Laughing Moon recently teamed up with Randolph basket maker Elizabeth "Budge" Phillips, who in turn enlisted the help of other local artisans to weave alternatives to synthetic, mass-produced Easter baskets. The collaboration is part of Laughing Moon owner Leigh Williams' effort to make her packaging greener and more sustainable. Some products, for example, now come in compostable bags, or wrapped in compostable cellophane and ribbon. "It has been an evolution toward only doing things I feel good about," she explains. The woven baskets complement Laughing Moon's other local-basket options, including Vermont-made Flashbags with Woody Jackson designs and bunny totes from Designs by Gwynne. Says Williams, "It's going to be a handmade Easter at Laughing Moon."

Haddad ou Hadad (en araméen : ܚܕܕ ou ܚܕܐܕ, en arabe : حداد ou حدا, en hébreu : חדד ), est un très ancien nom de famille (de langue araméenne) originaire du Proche-Orient. Celui-ci existe au Levant depuis l'époque antique.

Étymologie
Haddad peut avoir une signification dans plusieurs langues sémitiques comme l'araméen, l'arabe ou l'hébreu.

Répartition géographique
Haddad est un nom très courant dans la région de l'ancienne Canaan et en Afrique du Nord. Ce patronyme est aussi répandu au sein de différentes minorités ethniques vivant, ou ayant vécu au Moyen-Orient: Au sein des minorités kurdes, persanes, juives, arméniennes et syriaques par exemple. Les Arméniens et les Syriaques sont deux groupes ethniques chrétiens. Cependant, au Proche-Orient, ce nom est surtout  répertorié au sein des autres communautés chrétiennes (beaucoup plus que dans les deux citées ci-dessus), au sein desquelles il est très répandu.

Dans le dialecte araméen montagnard, Turoyo, le nom est aussi connu sous la forme "Hadodo ܚܕܕܐ". Les populations portant cette variante sont principalement des Assyriens, originaires de Tur Abdin. Ce mot, commun aux langues sémitiques, signifierait également , en langue arabe et araméenne notamment.
