The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) has started another public consultation on the latest portion of the 'Cambridge South East Transport - Better Public Transport' project.
GCP describe the aim of the overall project as "..to provide better public transport, walking and cycling options for those who travel in the A1307 and A1301 area, improving journey times and linking communities and employment sites in the area south east of Cambridge".
An earlier consultation proposed improvements to the A1307 (the main road from Cambridge to Linton and Haverhill) and the Linton Greenway.
This latest consultation proposes a new bus-only road that would start at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (which includes Addenbrooke's Hospital) and connect to a new park and ride site beside the A11, between the A1307 and A505. This consultation is concerned with three alternative locations for the park and ride site, and five alternative routes for the new bus-only road.
Summary of proposals (click for larger version)
Image from the consultation leaflet
See further down this page for maps of each P&R option
This consultation is of interest to cyclists because the proposals include a new shared-use path alongside the new bus road for use by cyclists, walkers and horseriders. We think this has the potential to be a useful and attractive new cycle route. If it was constructed to a high standard, we think this new path will be comparable to the St Ives Greenway (the busway cycle path) and we therefore strongly support this element. We think there is a need for a high quality cycle route between Granta Park (a large business park south of Abington) and Cambridge. We think this path should be included in the proposed network of greenways.
We take a neutral view on the bus road and park and ride elements in these proposals. We understand that the GCP want to improve public transport to help to reduce congestion on local roads, but we also understand that these proposals will be expensive and will require significant new construction in the green belt. We would like to see the cycle path constructed anyway – with or without the bus road – but we realise that this cycle path will probably only be constructed as part of a new bus road.
We at CTC Cambridge have prepared an analysis of the proposals and we invite you to use these comments to inform your own consultation response. You can read our detailed analysis below. The deadline for sending comments to the GCP is 4th November 2019, so you will need to act quickly if you want to take part.
We plan to send our analysis to the GCP as our response, so if you agree or disagree with the comments we make below, or think we have missed anything, please do let us know by sending an email to our campaigning team at campaigning@ctccambridge.org.uk. We'd welcome your views, but remember the short deadline.

Consultation questionnaire: online version, pdf version
The following is the proposed CTC Cambridge response to the Cambridge South East Transport - Better Public Transport Project Public Consultation 2019. Our response is primarily concerned with the details of the shared-use path that is proposed to be constructed alongside the new bus road.
We strongly support the proposal to build a new shared-use path for cyclists and walkers alongside this new public transport route. We think this path will be strongly welcomed by people cycling to work, to school, to the shops or for leisure. We think that a range of cycle journeys will be enabled by this new attractive and safe route. We think it is essential that the path is built to high standard because this is a key factor in achieving a high level of use by enabling more people to cycle and to cycle further. We think a high quality car-free route has the potential to replicate the success of the cycle path alongside the St Ives busway. In this same spirit we think this new path should be seen as a new greenway – it should be designed as part of the planned network of greenways.
We therefore think the path should be constructed with a width of 4m (instead of the 3m width proposed) to support high levels of use by cyclists. We think the path alongside the St Ives busway demonstrates the importance of providing this extra width. Most of the St Ives path is around 4m wide and we think these wide sections work well with minimal conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians. Narrower sections create more conflicts and should be avoided.
We also think the path should include an additional branch that diverges from the bus road if necessary to provide a direct desire-line cycle connection to Granta Park. In this context, we have a preference for the black, pink or purple routes as these would automatically provide this wanted direct cycle connection to Granta Park. If the blue or brown route is chosen we strongly recommend that the plans include a separate branch of cycle path to provide a direct cycle path to Granta Park – this branch of cycle path should follow the line of the pink or black route to Granta Park.
We want to emphasise the importance of creating this direct cycle connection to Granta Park for different users. Firstly, and most obviously, it is important to provide a convenient and direct (desire-line) cycle route for commuters to and from Granta Park. Secondly, it will provide the first section of a cycle route to Hildersham and to Linton via Granta Park and Pampisford Road. In both cases cyclists want a direct cycle route – it would not be acceptable for this connection to be an indirect dog-leg route (e.g. a dog-leg via park and ride site B).
In the longer term, this new 'greenway' cycle route to Granta Park has the potential to be extended with further improvements beyond Granta Park. An off-road cycle path could be constructed along Pampisford Road – possibly as part of a bus road extension, or perhaps using the old rail line – to provide an improved off-road cycle connection from Granta Park to the Hildersham/A1307 crossing. At the A1307 there is an existing proposal (as part of the Linton Greenway) to build a new toucan crossing of the A1307 and this crossing would also be needed to complete this southern route. At the Hildersham junction this southern route can then connect to an improved section of cycle path alongside the A1307 to complete the route to Linton Village College and to Linton.
Impact on the Sawston Greenway
We note with concern that the proposed route overlaps the route of the Sawston Greenway for the section close to the Biomedical Campus. This raises a series of important considerations.
Firstly, this overlapping section of the route must be reflected in the design of the shared use path. We assume that this first section will use the same shared use path for both routes - we think this would be a sensible arrangement. If the two routes are combined it means that the path will need to be increased in width (i.e. wider than 4m) for the whole of this common section to accommodate the combined flow of the existing DNA path and the new path. It is particularly important to provide significant extra width at the junction (where the two paths split) so that cyclists and pedestrians on the two paths can merge and split safely.
We think that the cycle connections into and across the Biomedical Campus need to be significantly improved to provide the feeder connections for these two shared use paths. This requires all the connecting cycle paths to be widened (the paths connecting to Francis Crick Avenue and to Dame Mary Archer Way). And there is a need for better routes into and across the Biomedical Campus.
Second, we observe that this overlap with the Sawston Greenway means that the best arrangement is for the shared use path to be located on the southern side of the new bus road. This arrangement is consistent with the preferred arrangement identified in our specific comments below.
We are particularly concerned to ensure that this overlapping of the two routes does not have a negative impact by delaying any improvements to the existing DNA path between the Biomedical Campus and Granham's Road. We think that this complete section of the existing DNA path needs to be widened to at least 4m as a high priority project. We also think that lighting should be added to this section. We think it is important to ensure that these early-stage proposals for a new bus road do not cause any further delay to these much needed improvements to the existing DNA path.
We want to emphasise the importance of making improvements to the existing DNA path to handle the existing high levels of use on this path. We argue that these improvements are needed urgently to address serious safety concerns: the high levels of use cause dangerous conflicts on the narrow path and there have been serious accidents on this section of path. Higher levels of use are expected as the Biomedical Campus expands and these risks can only increase. These improvements must not be delayed.
Specific comments on each park and ride option
Park and ride site A
Park and ride site option A (click for larger version)
If park and ride site A is chosen, the cycle path can follow the proposed purple route to the edge of the site. But we think an extra section of new path should be added at the park and ride site to provide a more direct connection to Granta Park. We would suggest adding a new path along the southern boundary of the site to provide a more direct connection between the two proposed arms of the path. This more direct path is needed to avoid requiring all cyclists to Granta Park to take a dog-leg diversion through the P&R site. Cycle paths into the park and ride site are still needed on both sides but this direct desire-line 'bypass' is also needed.
Park and ride site B
Park and ride site option B (click for larger version)
If park and ride site B is chosen, we have a strong preference for the pink route because this route will make it easy to provide a direct cycle path connection between Cambridge and Granta Park by combining the line of the pink route together with a direct spur to Granta Park. We think it is important that this direct cycle route is still provided even if the brown route is chosen for the bus road. We are concerned that the brown route could require all Granta Park cyclists to divert via park and ride site B and we think the resulting indirect cycle route would make the route much less attractive for cyclists that are not using the park and ride. To be clear, if the brown route is chosen we understand that the plans will include a cycle path between Granta Park and park and ride site B via Newmarket Roadbut we think that this indirect park and ride connection is not an acceptable substitute for the direct connection that is possible with the pink route. Moreover, we think that this cycle path connection between Granta Park and park and ride site B should not use Newmarket Road anyway because this would require cyclists to use the existing sub-standard footbridge to cross the A11 to access the park and ride site. Instead, we think it would be better for this connection to follow the line of the pink route and thereby avoiding the footbridge. This is why we have a strong preference for the pink route.
Park and ride site C
Park and ride site option C (click for larger version)
If park and ride site C is chosen, we have a strong preference for the black route because this route will allow a direct cycle path connection between Cambridge and Granta Park by combining the line of the black route together with a direct spur to Granta Park. Again, we think it is important that this direct cycle route is still provided even if the blue route is chosen for the bus road. We are again concerned that the blue route could require all Granta Park cyclists to divert via park and ride site C and this would again make the cycle path much less attractive for cyclists who are not using the park and ride. If the blue route is chosen we understand that the plans include a proposed cycle path along Newmarket Road. We agree that this is a good route for the
connection between Granta Park and park and ride site C, but we still have a strong preference for using the black route to provide a direct route between Granta Park and Cambridge.
Lastly, if park and ride site C is chosen, we think the existing cycle path between Babraham and Abington should be rerouted to replace the existing footbridge with a more accessible cycle crossing of the A11 using the new bus road bridge. The drawing for park and ride option C appears to show that this cycle path is routed over the new bus bridge for the blue route, but the drawing does not show a similar rerouting of the cycle path for the black route. We think the cycle path should be rerouted to use the new bridge in both cases. We prefer the black route as detailed above, but it is important that the black route includes a new (rerouted) cycle crossing of the A11 using the new bus bridge.
Specific comments on the details of the path design
On the details of the proposed designs we have several detailed comments.
First, we are disappointed by the proposed width of the cycle path at 3m. We note that the drawings show a 2m verge between the bus road and the cycleway so there is no need to restrict the width to 3m. We think 4m tarmac and 1m spacing is a better arrangement. A 4m width would reduce conflicts at busy times and creates a better experience for both cyclists and pedestrians.
Second, we think the design should place the cycle path on the south side of the bus road because this arrangement will make it easier to include additional cycle and pedestrian access connections from Shelford, Stapleford and Sawston. The consultation implies that the only connection points will be at the road crossings, but we think this is an unnecessary restriction. We would like the plans to include additional connections for cyclists and pedestrians by adding shared use paths to connect more directly to nearby residential areas and industrial areas. As specific examples, we would like to see a direct connection to the proposed new football stadium and direct connections to housing (especially any new developments) on the western side of Sawston. Conveniently this preference is aligned to our earlier point – locating the cycle path on the south side is also preferred to allow for the wanted spur connection to Granta Park.
Third, we think the road crossings - where the new cycle path crosses roads - need to be signal controlled crossings (toucans) and must be designed using good cycle route practice. Good practice means no awkward turns, dropped kerbs in the right place and loop detectors for cycles. Equally, the cycle path should remain on the same (south) side for the complete route, and not swap from side to side at the road crossings. We think the road crossings on the St Ives busway were poorly designed for cyclists and we want to ensure that better designs are used for this new route.
Fourth, we think the proposed layout of the parking at the bus stops should be reversed because the layout that is illustrated is likely to cause conflict between the cycle path users and the car park users. The drawings in the leaflet show the cycle path and the parking both on the same side of the bus road at the stops. We think it would be much better to reposition the car parking on the opposite side to the cycle path (i.e. locate the parking on the northern side of the bus road) so that the pedestrian movements between the bus stop and the car park do not cross the cycle path. This would be similar to the design of the St Ives busway where the parking at St Ives and at Longstanton is on the opposite side to the cycle path and we think this arrangement works well.
Lastly, we also think the bus road should include another intermediate stop for the western side of Sawston. When combined with the extra access points as detailed above, this would be a more convenient stop for people walking and cycling from the western side of Sawston. This intermediate stops would not need to have any parking for motor vehicles: it could be similar to the Fen Drayton lakes stop on the St Ives busway.

Case Study: EMI Exploits 'New World of Data' for Single View of Music Across 25 Countries
Sarah Lamb December 11, 2012
Record company EMI Music wanted to integrate the large amount of information it uses—including massive consumer surveys, demographic, and partner data from companies such as iTunes—to gain a single global view for its artists. By deploying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Fast Track Data Warehouse technology, EMI now has an accessible single source of country, consumer, and partner insight data to support decision making about the needs of consumers in 25 countries.
EMI Music is the world's fourth-largest record company in terms of market share. It manages artists and distributes CDs, digital music, ringtones, and merchandise. The firm operates in 25 countries through three regional divisions, including the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The music company has a wealth of complex information from both internal and external sources, but, until recently, decision makers were unable to exploit the value of this "Big Data" store. David Boyle, Senior Vice President of Insight, EMI, was determined to launch a suite of projects to derive value from the data and generate insight in three key areas:
Country data. Prior to the deployment of the country insight projects, EMI had outdated and incorrect internal and external demographic and geographic data. This made it difficult to support marketing business decisions—for example, pitching and promoting artists in new countries.
Consumer data. EMI didn't have an effective method for processing the massive amounts of survey data collected by the business to better understand consumer music tastes and buying behaviour. It was difficult to perform analysis across countries and time zones.
Partner data. EMI distributes its music through around 200 external partner organisations, including iTunes and Spotify. But there wasn't a method for analysing or reporting on partner activities other than those related to financial transactions. The business required deeper insight to help with a range of strategic decisions and drive extra revenue from existing and proposed partners.
Boyle says: "The overall solution is split into the three key insight areas, but the primary objective was to unify all the information into one consistent subject area. We wanted it to be easily accessible to every EMI decision maker in 25 countries."

Celebrating the Battle of Chateauguay
900 people were at the camp site in Ormstown. All of them were transported by shuttles to the battlefield where they gathered with another 300 people how came by their own means despite the largely advertised fact that there was no parking available at Allan's Corners. About 1200 people came to watch the show and learn about the battle.
The re-enactors started to arrive from Quebec, Ontario and the US on Thursday and Friday to set up the camp. The period military camp was opened to the public at 10 am on Saturday. People were able to walk around, see how living was under those conditions, talk about anything from food to equipment, salary and so on. Under the temporary tent, Parks Canada along with CVHS and MRC were there to inform about history, the battle context and more largely the war of 1812.
After the transportation of the public by shuttles was completed, the re-enactment of the battle took place at Allan's Corners. It was very spectacular and a curator from Parks Canada offered commentary. About an hour later most of the public came back by shuttles to the camp site to get back to their cars or to wander around a bit longer. Another part of the public, probably those how had their cars close to the interpretation center went in for a visit. It was a first time for most of them.
By late afternoon, in the dining room of the Fairground, staff was getting ready for the diner offered to the re-enactors and the public. Under the temporary tent, a stage and sound was ready and a band conducted by Chris Crilly started to play traditional Celtic music. They played non strop for three hours and in the middle of their set they accompany dancers in costumes led by Neva Shelton, doing period popular dances (quadrille which is the origin of square dance). Around 7, 8 pm, night had fallen on the camp which offered a real feel of the past with all the camp fires and the lanterns. The music from the tent was floating in the air and a walk through the camp was a real trip. Unfortunately, as the event ended, there was only a few visitors left to share that moment.
The next day, Sunday, was cold and rainy. The camp opened to the public at 10 am but half of the re-enactors were packing to leave. The remaining soldiers did some drills around 11 am and a short version of the Saturday's scenario. But this time, on the race track of the Fair and in front of 100 visitors.
All the people involved in the organisation, from the three partners, Parks Canada, Historical Society and MRC, were very pleased with the event. It was worth the effort. Discussion started two years ago when partners applied for founding from Heritage Canada in 2012, and it became a full time job for Luc DeTremmerie last spring. Everything went as planned. Of course the weather helped a lot and everybody was in such a good mood that nobody complained about the waiting for the shuttle busses.
The re-enactors were happy to be able to act on the real site and to raise such an interest.
For the three main partners who started to discuss about the project at the Cultural Committee, it was obvious that something had to be done about the 1812 commemoration.
"A re-enactment doesn't show the horror of war, I know. But our goal was to attract attention on the context of 1812 and, by giving it a large echo, to raise curiosity for history among our youth. And also, of course, we wanted to bring visitors from outside," says DeTremmerie.

Anti-social behaviour having effect on city
OVER recent weeks there have been several reports of pedestrians being knocked down by cyclists, also the elderly lady who was badly injured recently in Cardiff when using the pedestrian crossing correctly.
This problem is rapidly getting worse. Since the Nextbike scheme was introduced, numbers of cyclists going through pedestrian crossings, ignoring lights and in pedestrianised parts of the city centre have increased considerably, although the scheme was well-intentioned.
I recently saw two young fellows on a Nextbike, messing about outside a pub with a third trying to push the other two off, eventually all three were trying to get back on.
Added to this hazard are skateboarders, particularly in the area near the Central Library and also between the Central Station and the new BBC building.
Coupled with the anti-social behaviour in the city centre: drunkenness, people being pestered for money by beggars, fights (I have seen a number in St Mary Street through the area between the market and the clock by the Royal Hotel); all this is bound to have an adverse effect on trade in the city centre.
It is no longer a pleasure to look around the shops for many people and I have heard several say they do not feel safe – and this is during daytime shopping hours not late at night.
I think this is having a worse effect on trade in the shops than internet shopping, which often gets blamed. Unless these problems are stamped out there will be more shops closing. I feel sorry for the Royal Hotel,
with so much anti-social behaviour near the St Mary Street entrance and the filthy state of the end of Westgate Street where the other entrance is.

Johnson a winner and crowd puller
Boris Johnson is a vote winner and a crowd puller, wherever he goes. He has a wonderful way with words and is very popular with the ladies (a Tory party weakness of late). That is why his enemies fear him so much.
If there was a general election with a straight fight between Labour and the Conservatives, he would win with a large majority. Unfortunately, he must first achieve Brexit or, if this blocked yet again by our Remain Parliament, do some kind of deal with the Brexit Party and call an immediate general election.

We need to defend our democracy
Our unelected PM adds insult to injury by ruling out an election before taking us out of the EU by Halloween.
He is acting on the advice of Dominic Cummings, the mastermind of the Leave Campaign, who insisted that the referendum was framed as Leave or Remain to leave the door open to a No Deal.
This will break up the Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and will make us entirely dependent on Donald Trump as we will be isolated in Europe and shunned by our most important trading partners.
We cannot allow ourselves to be totally disenfranchised in this way by an illegitimate Brexit government led by a shambolic PM chosen by party members numbering less than the population of Cardiff.
This can hardly be described as the will of the people but more the will of the Tory Party to cling to power even at the cost of Boris Johnson as PM.
Could increasing police numbers be less about knife crime than preparing for the demonstrations that will inevitably follow a damaging no deal?
How can our MPs allow this destruction of their powers? Surely they must return from their recess to defend Parliament and our democracy.

Pentagon officials hope Mattis-Wei meeting will push US-China ties back in the right direction
US defence secretary and his Chinese counterpart meet in Singapore on Thursday
US Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis. Reuters
After a rocky few months, US officials say they sense that relations with the Chinese military may be stabilising.
Jim Mattis, the US Secretary of Defence was meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Wei Fenghe on Thursday, on the sidelines of an Asian defence ministers' conference.
Just weeks ago, Mr Mattis had planned to travel to Beijing for talks with Mr Wei, but that fell through when the Chinese made it known that Wei would be unavailable -- one of several signs that tension in the overall US-China relationship was spilling over into the military arena.
Mr Wei and Mr Mattis were in Singapore this week for an Association of South East Asian Nations conference where China's increasing assertiveness on the world stage was an expected topic.
The Pentagon's top policy official for Asia and the Pacific, Randall G Schriver, said on Wednesday that the Chinese had requested the Singapore meeting with Mr Mattis. He said US officials took this as a sign that the Chinese are interested in stabilising the military relationship.

China calls off trade talks with the US
Speaking to reporters traveling with him earlier this week, Mr Mattis acknowledged that the relationship has been difficult in recent times.
"We're two large powers, or two Pacific powers, two economic powers. There's going to be times we step on each other's toes, so we're going to have to find a way to productively manage our relationship," he said. "And the military relationship is to be a stabilising force in the relations between the two countries."
As recently as June, when Mr Mattis was in Beijing for his first visit to China as Pentagon chief, President Xi Jinping called the US-China military relationship the "model component of our overall bilateral relations".
Since then, however, a series of irritants have shaken military-to-military ties. Mr Schriver said the trigger for recent tensions was the Trump administration's decision in September to sanction the Chinese military for buying Russian fighter planes and missiles.
That action was taken under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act passed by Congress in 2017. Beijing also strongly criticised a US announcement of further arms sales to Taiwan, the self-governed island that Beijing insists is part of China.
China responded to these events with strong criticism, followed by a decision to cancel a planned visit to the Pentagon by the head of the Chinese navy and a confrontation in the South China Sea between a Chinese warship and a US Navy destroyer, the USS Decatur. The Chinese also denied a request for a US Navy ship to visit Hong Kong.
"That may turn out to be a relatively short bump in the road," Mr Schriver said Wednesday, suggesting that the Singapore meeting could nudge things back in the right direction, although the US administration remains concerned that the Chinese have achieved a key goal by militarising disputed land features in the South China Sea that Washington warned against.
"The Chinese have changed some facts on the ground. That's clear," Mr Shriver said, referring to the placement of military infrastructure and weapons on some of their land reclamation projects in the South China Sea.
"That's a change that they were able to successfully pull off. The question is: To what end, and how effective is that in terms of enforcing a very expansive, illegitimate sovereignty claim?"
China views Washington's criticism of its activities in the South China Sea as unnecessary meddling in its internal affairs.
Earlier this year, Mr Mattis cited China's military presence on some land features in the South China Sea as his reason for disinviting the Chinese military from an international naval exercise in the Pacific.
As part of a US effort to enlist support for countering and limiting China's militarization of the South China Sea, Mr Mattis earlier this week visited Vietnam, which has its own disputed territorial claims there. Mr Schriver noted that smaller nations like Vietnam, with limited naval and economic power, have reasons to express their concerns about China privately rather than in public.
"Countries choosing to be more public and vocal, there is a level of risk with China, but I think confidence is growing that our presence is going to be consistent," Mr Schriver said. "They do face potential risk angering China."

Conosciuta in occidente con il nome romanizzato di Chow Hsuan, fu un'icona della musica e del Cinema cinese. Nel 1940, diventò una delle grandi sette stelle cinesi del canto. La più nota delle sette, venne soprannominata la "voce d'oro", ebbe una carriera parallela nel mondo del cinema fino al 1953. Registrò più di 200 canzoni e apparve in più di 40 film nel corso della sua breve vita.

Biografia

Primi anni
Zhou, nata Su Pu (蘇 璞), fu separata in tenera età dai suoi genitori naturali e cresciuta da genitori adottivi. Trascorse tutta la sua vita alla ricerca dei suoi genitori biologici, ma non fu mai stabilita la sua vera discendenza, nemmeno dopo la sua morte.

Secondo ricerche più recenti, un oppiomane la rapì all'età di 3 anni, portandola in un'altra città, dove la vendette in un secondo momento alla famiglia Wang, che la chiamarono Wang Xiaohong. In seguito fu adottata da una famiglia di nome Zhou, cambiando ancora il suo nome in Zhou Xiaohong.

All'età di 13 anni, si dette il nome d'arte di Zhou Xuan, 'Xuan' (璇) che significa bella giada in cinese.

Carriera

Nel 1932, Zhou ha cominciato a recitare come membro della troupe Bright Moon Song and Dance Troupe. All'età di 14 anni, vinse il secondo premio in un concorso di canto a Shanghai, dove acquisì il soprannome di "voce d'oro"(金 嗓子) per le sue acute melodie.

Zhou iniziò la sua carriera nel cinema nel 1935 e ha conseguì notorietà nel 1937, quando il regista Yuan Muzhi la fece recitare nel ruolo di uno dei protagonisti, come cantante in Street Angel. Zhou divenne rapidamente la più popolare e più ascoltata cantante nei grammofoni dell'epoca.

Tra il 1946 e il 1950, si recò spesso a Hong Kong per girare film come All-Consuming Love (長相思), Hua wai liu ying (花外流鶯), Qinggong mishi (清宮秘史) e Rainbow Song (彩虹曲). Tornò a Shanghai nel 1949. Trascorse gli anni successivi dentro e fuori istituti psichiatrici a causa di frequenti svenimenti. Nel corso degli anni, Zhou condusse una vita complicata e infelice segnata da matrimoni falliti, figli illegittimi e tentativi di suicidio. Il primo marito di Zhou fu il compositore Yan Hua (严 华, 1912-1992), che scrisse e talvolta eseguì brani con lei. Dopo aver prodotto un totale di 43 film, il suo film preferito rimase Street Angel. Questo conteneva due canzoni a tema: Four Seasons Song (四季歌) e The Wandering Songstress, che godette di lunga popolarità. Altre canzoni conosciute da Zhou Xuan comprendono When will you return?, Shanghai Nights, Yellow Leaves Dancing in Autumn Wind (黃葉舞秋風), Forever Smile (永遠的微笑), Hundred Flower Song (百花歌), Advice (叮嚀), Where Can the Soul Mate be Found (知音何處尋) e Picking Betal Nuts (採檳榔).

Morte
Nel 1957 morì a Shanghai in un manicomio all'età di 39 anni. La possibile causa di morte fu un'encefalite seguita da una crisi nervosa.

Solo due figli di Zhou sopravvissero, Zhou Wen e Zhou Wei, nati da padri diversi. Secondo la biografia di Zhou Wen, il figlio più giovane, Zhou Wei, era il figlio di Tang Di (唐 棣), mentre il padre di Zhou Wen rimane sconosciuto.

Lascito culturale
Anche oggi, le canzoni di Zhou Xuan rimangono un classico delle canzoni popolari cinesi.

Furono scritte 2 biografie, scritte da familiari superstiti di Zhou Xuan. Il libro My Mother Zhou Xuan scritto da Zhou Wei e sua moglie Xhang Jing; mentre un libro successivo, Diary of Zhou Xuan (周璇 日記), venne scritto da Zhou Wen.

Go for a new adventure in Guadeloupe's island! Hike on a volcano, kayak in the mangrove, explore the lagoon and the coral reef, discover the Rhum road and lay out on the most idyllic beaches!
At your arrival at the airport in Pointe-à-Pitre, a rental car of category A (SUZUKI SWIFT or similar) will be at your disposal for the length of 12 days. Thus, you can move freely and comfortably around the island. On the day of departure you will drop off the vehicle at the airport.
The lagoon of Saint-François is a very good diving site for beginners. The divers will be surrounded by a multitude of tropical fish and corals. Most diving sites are located at 10-30 minutes by boat, the diving sites of « La Désirade » are located a little further.
Use your Free Day for a Stroll through Pointe-à-Pitre and Visit the Museum. The history of Pointe-à-Pitre is marked by hurricanes, fires and earthquakes. Its architecture is characterized by Creole Colonial Style. The rare manor houses in the old town are currently being restored.
A must-see sight is the Musée Schoelcher, built in the 19th, with its rich collection of antic sculptures. But if you really want to immerse yourself in the Creole ambiance, you will browse the colorful markets with their mouthwatering fruit and vegetable stands, as well as medicinal herbs, love potions, devotional objects, wickerwork and many other odds and ends.
Cruise aboard a catamaran (with skipper) to the natural reserve of the Archipelago of Petite-Terre. On board, your captain will turn into a cook and whip up a delicious lunch based on grilled fish. Once ashore, you will advance into the heart of the island looking for the famous iguanas. The lagoon with its crystal clear water is the perfect spot for a dive into the water!
Visit the must-see highlights of Basse-Terre. You will stop in Sainte-Marie (the landing place of Christopher Columbus) and the Hindu temple of Changy. Through the lush tropical nature (on an easy hiking path), you will reach the impressing waterfalls of Chutes de Carbet.
Before lunch rest in a family restaurant of Côte au vent serving home-cooked Creole dishes, you will cross the noble Allée Dumanoir lined with royal palms. You will spend the afternoon with the visit of the Parc Floral of Valombreuse in Petit-Bourg, situated at the heart of the rain forest.
Nature in all its splendor. From the beginning of your visit, you can admire a magnificent collection of water lilies.
Take a walk through the splendid fauna of the botanic garden, which reaches a surface of 7 hectares in the heart of the island and whose plant kingdom reflects the colourful carribean variety.
Back to the Airport to return your rental car at the airport station.

Q: mule dataweave invoking a spring bean I have a spring bean defined to handle the resource bundle of my app as follows:
<spring:bean id="renewMobileEngagementApiMessages" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <spring:property name="basename" value="messages/renew-mobile-engagement-api-messages"></spring:property>
    <spring:property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"></spring:property>
    <spring:property name="fallbackToSystemLocale" value="false"></spring:property>
</spring:bean>

In my app I can access it in a variable or logger object for example with the following MEL command:
#[app.registry.renewMobileEngagementApiMessages.getMessage('error.clic_unavailable.description', null, sessionVars.REQUESTED_LOCALE)]

It returns correctly my property as expected, no problem until here.
The problem is that now I need to access my properties in a dw:transform-message and I can't figure out how to do it. I tried with a global-function but I didn't got how to access my "renewMobileEngagementApiMessages" object reference to then call the "getMessage" method.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!

A: just put the message in a flowVar or the payload before the dataweave component with a MEL and access the payload/flowVar in your dataweave.
here is a example where i load my spring bean in payload right before i access it my dataweave:
<mule>
    <spring:beans>
        <spring:bean id="foo" name="foo" class="java.lang.String">
            <spring:constructor-arg value="this is foo." />
        </spring:bean>
    </spring:beans>

    <flow name="test-flow">
        <set-payload value="#[app.registry.foo]" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
        <dw:transform-message doc:name="Transform Message">
            <dw:set-payload>
<![CDATA[%dw 1.0
%output application/xml
---
{
    foo: payload
}]]>
</dw:set-payload>
        </dw:transform-message>
    </flow>
</mule>

A: You can store the property in a flow variable before the dataweave component and call this flowVars in dataweave using flowVars.variableName

A: You can easily access any System or Spring properties with the operator 'p()'
Example:
%dw 1.0
%output application/json
---
{
    mulehome: p('mule.home')
}

A: You can reference any Property (System or Spring) that exists in the server while DataWeave is processing your transformation, to do so use the p('prop_name') function.

Timothy Kirley— Alleged Unnecessary Fees & Violation of Fiduciary Duty | Goldman, Scarlato & Penny P.C.
Timothy Kirley has been named as part of an Edward Jones putative class action suit for alleged unnecessary fees & violation of fiduciary duty, all according to a customer complaint disclosed in publicly available records maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
The investor rights lawyers at Goldman Scarlato & Penny law firm are investigating Mr. Kirley's conduct to determine whether any investors may have claims for alleged unnecessary fees & violation of fiduciary duty. Investors may contact investor rights attorney Alan Rosca to provide information or inquire about their legal options.
Timothy Kirley was named as part of an Edward Jones putative class action suit by persons whose commission-based accounts with Edward Jones were allegedly moved into fee-based accounts from March 30, 2013 through March 30, 2018, according to FINRA Reports.
Said case rests on allegations of a alleged reverse churning operation in which advisors allegedly moved largely dormant accounts into the fee-based side of the practice, when the commission model would have reportedly better served the clients, FINRA states.
In orchestrating this scheme to churn revenue from essentially dead assets, Edward Jones made misleading statements and material omissions to their clients, including plaintiffs, about the amount of fees they would pay.
Kirley has worked at Edward Jones since 1983, and only has one disclosure on his record, FINRA notes.
Brokerage firms such as Edward Jones have a responsibility to adequately supervise all of their registered representatives who are employed through their firm, to prevent violations of securities rules and regulations. Brokerage firms also must initiate action to ensure that their financial advisors follow all securities rules and regulations, as well as internal firm policies. If and when brokerage firms fail to adequately supervise their registered representatives, they may be held liable for investment losses sustained by customers.
The Goldman Scarlato & Penny PC law firm represents investors who lose money as a result of investment-related fraud or misconduct and are currently investigating Timothy Kirley's alleged unnecessary fees & violation of fiduciary duty. The firm takes most cases of this type on a contingency fee basis and advance the case costs, and only gets paid for their fees and costs out of money recovered for clients. Attorney Alan Rosca, a securities lawyer and adjunct professor of securities regulation, has represented thousands of victimized investors across the country and around the world in cases ranging from arbitrations to securities class actions.
If you or a loved one or a friend has lost money investing with Timothy Kirley, you may contact attorney Alan Rosca or his colleagues for a free no-obligation evaluation of their recovery options, at 888-998-0530, via email at rosca@lawgsp.com, or through the contact form on this webpage.

Del Taco's menu items taste better because they are made with quality ingredients like fresh grilled chicken and carne asada steak, hand-sliced avocado, hand-grated cheddar cheese, slow-cooked beans made from scratch, and creamy Queso Blanco. Del Taco's new advertising campaign, "Celebrating the Hardest Working Hands in Fast Food," further communicates the company's commitment to providing guests with fresh, quality food prepared by hand every day. Founded in 1964, today Del Taco serves more than three million guests each week at its 580 restaurants across 14 states.


A new experience for me today. I find myself supporting the views of David Gray, principal of Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools, Edinburgh. Now normally I would have little in common with private school teachers, but his piece in today's Scotsman is spot on.
Firstly, he makes the case for the school library. "As places, they have retained an aura of reverence and quiet study, and for young people in good schools, they are at the heart of intellectual thought and reflection."
Secondly, he makes the case for books. "There is also incipient evidence that the reader of the screen does not assimilate information as accurately or as effectively as in applying his (or possibly her David!) mind to a book which always involves steady, persistent concentration, a key to effective assimilation, analysis and evaluation."
This must be right and that is why we need to come together to defend our libraries. Many councils are looking to cut back their library provision. In particular there has been a move towards reduced opening times and employing less qualified staff. In a UNISON survey more than 40% members reported cuts in service and two-thirds felt staffing levels were inadequate. Nearly 90% indicated public support for the service, but nearly two-thirds felt that the service was not valued by their local authority.


Nasty looking server error when launching after last update. Joining server just hangs. Image at link above.
Guess waiting a few hours and restarting server exe again cleared it up. No clue what caused it but I am connected again.
Thanks for reporting! It seems the game server cannot establish secure connection with the Master Server when you run the server for the first time. We will investigate and fix that.

Visual.ly launches redesign with social features for its growing community of nearly 145K users
Infographics have quickly become the bane of the Web since exploding in popularity over the past year. The number of poor designs, empty stats, bias and sketchy sources are enough to make any design-conscious person cringe, but that's because infographics aren't any different from any other sort of design; there's good and bad work out there, and the latter always outweighs the former. In other words, the average website isn't going to be beautiful or useful, but that doesn't mean the gems aren't worth it.
This is exactly how I feel about infographics, and with that in mind, I'd like to draw your attention to Visual.ly. The data-driven startup continues to grow as a place for designers to come together over visualizations and infographics, and today the company is launching a completely "revamped" design, with social features that let users like, share and follow their favorite topics, users and designers.
Visual.ly's redesign brings a much stronger community element into the site, which could help strengthen the startup's existing user-base, while helping to highlight and promote the best work. So far content has been key, and now social is raising in importance for the site's 32K designers and nearly 145K users.
Visual.ly is certainly in an interesting space, where its greatest value proposition is connecting talented designers with infographic-hungry companies that are looking to commission work. Of course, the discovery and promotional aspects of the site are important as well, but Visual.ly is definitely pushing brand connections.
Visually told TNW that this update "sets the stage for the future of Visual.ly's platform – a place where all the players in the data visualization community can connect." It's starting to feel like a micro-Behance gone wild, focusing on just this infographic niche.
Check out the revamped site via the link below, and let us know what you think of it. While we're at it, what do you think the future holds for infographics and data visualizations?

Urban Roots London
Urban Roots is a non-profit organization that revitalizes underused land in the City of London for agriculture by:
Producing high-quality, organic vegetables and herbs
Distributing produce locally, directly to consumers and to private and social enterprises
Developing agricultural opportunities for the neighbourhood, social enterprises, and community organizations within the City of London
Growing a self-sustaining, urban agricultural model to germinate to new sites
__How Does It Work?
We are committed to growing fresh vegetables for those who may not otherwise be able to enjoy them. We are also committed to setting our project up in a way that is self-sustaining over the long term. These two goals are met with our mixed model: we both sell and donate what we grow.
Our goal is to sell enough of our beautiful, organically grown produce to cover our operating costs, and to donate everything else. In our pilot season of 2017, we were able to donate around 40% of what we harvested to the Men's Mission and Y.O.U.
This year we have committed to a "model of thirds", which demonstrates our willingness to sell LESS than 33% of our production at full price, but never more. The "affordable third" is another important way we hope to further improve access to fresh, healthy, organic food, by selling at a discounted rate in our neighbourhood.
We are currently partnered with the Hamilton Road Crouch Resource Centre, and My Sister's Place, who receive weekly deliveries of fresh organic produce for the incredible programs and services they offer.
In the short-term, we continue to raise funds and apply for grants, but once the project is a few seasons in and well established, we hope it will survive on its own sales to support the rest of our model

Friday the 5th October-what can I say…. well I got to meet Baby Hendrik.
He was incredibly strong willed and he refused to sleep, but I came out of the session with beautiful portraits of Hendrik, even though all he really wanted was mama and food.
I used blues and greens for the session, these colours really complimented Hendrik's skin.
Mum and dad were incredibly chilled even though they had probably not slept in 11 days.
Hendrik was 10 days late! -10 days, can you imagine?-Mom told me it was incredibly uncomfortable towards the end.
Anyway I hope you love the images.


Recognizing the signs and symptoms of high cholesterol is important so that you can prevent all of the serious diseases and conditions that go along with having levels that are out of the healthy range.
More and more people are starting to sit up and pay attention to their overall cholesterol levels, but this effort is combated head on by the increasing availability of fast food in today's world.
You will have to take a forceful step in eliminating your consumption of fast foods as well as all the various processed snack foods you find available if you do want to get your levels under control. Regular monitoring of where you're at will also give you good guidance in terms of whether what you are doing is working effectively for reducing the overall levels of cholesterol in your blood.
Here are the signs and symptoms of high cholesterol that you should be aware of.
The first thing you have to look at when assessing if you have symptoms of high cholesterol is the total amount of cholesterol you have in the blood (serum cholesterol levels). The higher your total cholesterol level, the greater risk you will have for heart disease.
Ideally, you want to maintain a cholesterol level that's lower than 200 mg/dL, which will put you as classified as a lower risk for heart disease. If you start to border on levels that are above 200 mg/dL, then you are classified as being in the 'higher risk' range.
If you are at 240 or greater, then you are considered to have symptoms of high cholesterol and it would be highly recommended that you take immediate action.
The second thing to assess is the amount of low density lipoprotein in the blood. This form of cholesterol is also commonly referred to as 'bad' cholesterol and will be what really puts you at a higher risk for a number of diseases.
LDL cholesterol is the primary form that blocks and damages the arteries, putting you at a high risk of disease. Ideally, to reduce symptoms, you should aim for a LDL level of less than 100 mg/dL; however, a level of 100-129 is also considered okay. If you push that level up closer to 159, you'll be borderline 'high', and if you go above 160, you are classified as showing symptoms of high cholesterol.
Finally, the last thing that you must factor into the equation is your triglycerides level, which is the form that fat is carried in throughout the body. High triglyceride levels don't necessarily put you at risk for atherosclerosis, but they may signal a lipoprotein problem that could contribute to heart disease, so this is still an important factor to watch.
The range to be considered healthy is less than 150 mg/dL, while a level of 200-499 is 'high'; 500 and above is very high and would signal action needs to be taken.
So keep these factors in mind when assessing your symptoms of high cholesterol. If you do show signs, start making some smart changes to your diet and exercise program to get things under control. To learn more, read the other related cholesterol articles and pages.

Celebrities Remember 9/11
Celebrities remember how 9/11 affected their lives.
By Yolanda Sangweni · Updated October 28, 2020
The events of September 11th, 2001 will forever live on in our lives.
We have so many stories to tell about that fateful morning. Here are how a few celebrities remember it.
Michael Ealy
"I was in my New York, in my apartment getting ready for a breakfast meeting with my manager and a casting director. I remember it all. I remember all the images that were on TV as well as the local gas station having a line that was so long it extended out the door and beyond the actual station property. People were trying to get gas and get off the island of Manhattan but the bridges were jammed. I remember not being able to account for all my friends via cell phone. While visiting my ex girlfriend in midtown, I saw Times Square later that night so empty that I could literally count three people.
I learned that America was vulnerable in ways we could not comprehend and like almost everyone else, I knew then that this country would never be the same. I also witnessed the resilience and camaraderie in New Yorkers during a time of extreme adversity. There was no difference in class or race at that time. All of us were EQUALLY devastated and a humbled humanity reigned supreme." –As told to ESSENCE.com.
Laz Alonzo
I was on the C train under the World Trade Center when the first plane hit. We weren't wondering why the train was held up since New York trains always stop for up to an hour at times, but we knew something was wrong. All these people were crying on the platform. Finally, the train opened its doors, and filled up with people in shock. I remember being in a state of denial thinking it wasn't going to be that bad, that the fire department would end the fire and the buildings would be saved.
I left New York on Sept 18 and drove across the country moving to Los Angeles.
I took the Southern route to avoid bad weather, and every place I stopped, people saw my New York tags and showed concern, true emotion and love. A tattooed man who had just gotten out of jail and definitely looked like he would not have been very happy to see me in his neck of the woods, showed me the most about how we are as Americans during a time of need. He asked me to pray with him. He thanked God for protecting me and allowing me to make it out of New York alive and asked that the rest of my trip would be protected and blessed.
At that point I felt that in a time of need, Americans don't see color, age, religion, or our differences, we can still all come together and pray." –As told to ESSENCE.com
Busta Rhymes
"We've been able to still show our resilience and endurance as a city, as a people coming together and remembering the lives of the ones we lost. It's such a beautiful thing to know we're not celebrating the loss, but we're celebrating their lives. This 10 year anniversary shows how far we've come." As told to Reuters.
"It really doesn't even feel like it's been 10 years. That seems crazy to me," the singer/producer told Reuters.
It was the scariest moment of my life, because you don't know what to do and how to react to this situation. It was surreal…I just hope that we can properly honor this 10 year anniversary the way it should be. See more of Michael's 9/11 memories, here.

E18 е европейски маршрут, преминаващ от Крейгейвън, Северна Ирландия през Великобритания, Норвегия, Швеция и Финландия до Русия. Дължината на маршрута е около 1890 km.

През 2013 г. Eвропейският съюз приема проект за финансиране на търговски дейности по протежение на пътя.

Нюанси
 Макар че правителството на Обединеното кралство участва във всички действия, свързани с европейските маршрути, пътните знаци и билбордове в страната не са съответно обозначени.
 По-рано е било възможно пътят да се премине от началото му в Северна Ирландия до края в Санкт Петербург, без използване на алтернативни пътища. През октомври 2006 г. обаче операторът DFDS затваря няколко своите фериботни линии и по-специално маршрута Нюкасъл—Кристиансан(През 2008 г., поради икономическа несъстоятелност, беше затворена линията и до Берген). По този начин морските връзки между Великобритания и Норвегия са напълно прекратени.

In an effort to keep the rate of immunizations high in Solano County, Touro University has teamed up with other agencies to hold an immunization awareness event 9:15 a.m. Thursday at Elsa Widenman Elementary School.
Solano County has a 95.1 percent immunization rate among kindergartners of required vaccinations, Touro University pediatrician Tami Hendriksz said. That rate is higher than the state average of 91 percent.
Thursday"s event is designed to educate parents and the public about the need for childhood immunizations and to "make sure our numbers don"t fall," Hendriksz said.
"We want to let them know how important it is," she added.
The program takes place at the medical clinic at Elsa Widenmann which Touro University runs in conjunction with the Vallejo City Unified School District.
Activities include a light breakfast, resource information and medical staff on hand to answer questions.
The school is at 100 Whitney Drive in North Vallejo.
By age 2, children are required to have vaccinations for 14 preventable diseases, such as measles, mumps, polio and hepatitis.
A list of clinics offering immunizations can be found by at http://externalrelations.tu.edu/niiw.
For more information about National Infant Immunization Week, or childhood vaccinations, go to http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines.
April 20-27 has been designated National Infant Immunization Week, which calls upon local partners make immunization information available at community events.
With the flu season is winding down, the Centers for Disease Control has reported that the virus has killed 105 children so far.
The CDC recommends that all children ages 6 months and older be vaccinated against flu each season, though only about half get a flu shot or nasal spray.

I've isolated the array accesses, and it looks like off[5] is the culprit, but I'm not certain. It seems that they all access memory that isn't defined for them. In IntegralImage the width and height are never defined, but the data array is the size of width*height by convention. (and the array accesses that I'm logging seem to be outside of that range)
I don't know why this works for the normal executable but not calling from my own program. I've looked many times, stripped the normal one to just a few calls and it still works. Is it possible that it has something to do with using only Mat objects instead of IplImage?
Here's my code that calls opentld:
using namespace cv;
Target OpenTLD::findTarget(cv::Mat HSV, bool restart) {
  Target t;
  cvtColor(HSV, t.image, COLOR_HSV2RGB);
  Mat BGR;
  cvtColor(t.image, BGR, COLOR_RGB2BGR);
  Mat grey(HSV.size(), CV_8UC1);
  int ch[] = {2, 0};
  mixChannels(&HSV, 1, &grey, 1, ch, 1);

  if (restart) {
    started = true;
    Rect roi = selectedROI();
    tld->detectorCascade->imgWidth = HSV.cols;
    tld->detectorCascade->imgHeight = HSV.rows;
    tld->detectorCascade->imgWidthStep = HSV.step;
    tld->processImage(BGR);
    tld->selectObject(grey, &roi);
  } else if (started) {
    t.roi = ROI(*tld->currBB);
    tld->processImage(BGR);
  }

  return t;
}

I've verified that the images and ROIs are valid values.

A: This was due to HSV.step giving wrong values. I used the width value, and it works perfectly fine.


Miramax Films, founded by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein, was an American motion picture production and distribution company founded in 1979. The name comes from a combination of the first names of the Weinstein brothers' parents, "Miriam" and "Max". Since 1993, it has been owned by The Walt Disney Company, who retained ownership of the brand when the Weinsteins left Disney to form their own company in 2005.
Miramax owned the American distribution rights to the Pokémon movies Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, Jirachi: Wish Maker, and Destiny Deoxys (latter two direct-to-video) (which were also occasionally shown on Cartoon Network and were also shown on the now-defunct Disney-owned Toon Disney cable channel). The first three—Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, and Jirachi: Wish Maker—were released in Canada by Alliance Atlantis Communications, Inc. (now known as Alliance Films), which was responsible for Canadian distribution of Miramax films. In these four movies distributed by Miramax, there were partly or completely different dubbing casts than in the TV series in many countries.
Bob and Harvey Weinstein's names appeared in the "Special Thanks" section of the credits of the Pokémon movies Miramax distributed.
In terms of non-Pokémon anime, Miramax distributed the English-dubbed version of the Studio Ghibli animated film Princess Mononoke and Beyblade: The Movie-Fierce Battle.
Miramax was shut down by Disney on January 28, 2010. They subsequently sold the unit on July 29, 2010, although Disney agreed to continue to distribute Miramax's films (both old and new) for the new owners—Filmyard Holdings, a coalition of business magnate Ronald Tutor and investment firm Colony Capital—for up to one year. The home video rights to most of Miramax's films were later sold to Lionsgate in early 2011. The home video rights to Miramax's remaining films (including the four Pokémon movies), were sold to Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, who re-released all four Pokémon films individually, in several "double-feature" releases (with different combinations), and all four together in a Pokémon movie set. On October 7, 2014, Lionsgate announced the acquisition of even more Miramax titles, including the four Pokémon movies, and were re-released the same day.

Bradford Teaching Hospitals has been named as one of 10 centres nationwide which will pilot unique projects aimed at putting patients at the heart of patient safety.
The Bradford PRASE (Patient Reporting and Action for a Safe Environment) scheme, which has been announced as part of the Health Foundation's £4m improvement programme, intends to advance the wellbeing of patients by using hospital volunteers to record real-time patient feedback about how safe their care is.
"PRASE focuses on a crucial patient safety innovation: involving patients in identifying gaps in hospital safety.
"After all, patients are in a unique position to give instant and detailed insight into the quality and safety of the care they receive and the ward environment during these face-to-face interviews with our hospital volunteers.
"Crucially this feedback will provide our hospitals with the opportunity to continually learn from the patient's perspective and make real improvements to care and the environment.
The questionnaires will collect the patient's insight on important factors such as staff communication, equipment availability, organisation and care planning – subjects known to be implicated when adverse events occur.
"Patients will also be able to provide concrete examples of any concerns they have had about their safety, or the safety of others, while on the ward.
PRASE data has already been collected by research nurses as part of an earlier research project. In this latest project, the hospital team will harness volunteers to promote the wider implementation of PRASE which will be rolled out across the Bradford Royal Infirmary, St Luke's Hospital and the district's community hospitals.
It will also be trialled at Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. Staff from the Bradford Institute for Health Research which is based at Bradford Royal Infirmary will evaluate the project.


The news of a young woman being duped into handing over £1.35 million to a person purporting to be the legal owner of the property was reported in the Daily Mail recently. It serves as another stark reminder of the risk of fraud in the conveyancing sector.
This latest case, reported in the national press, involved a fraudster taking out a rental agreement on the property before the property was placed on the market, and another fraudster stealing the identity of the real owner. Between them they were able to fool the letting agent, the selling agent and both the conveyancers for the seller and buyer.
Money laundering schemes are continually adapting with more sophisticated means to scam the profession. With more and more cases of fraud hitting the national press, conveyancers, brokers, estate agents and lenders are acutely aware of the problem.
The standard identity checks that have been deployed for so many years are not sufficient in these times. The old method of identity checks; scanning a passport, birth certificate or utility bill, however carefully, does not suffice anymore. Conveyancers are leaving themselves open to criminal activity that can seriously impact their careers and reputations. All professions within the housing market need to now accept the requirement for the experts in identity data intelligence to protect them and their clients from the risks of identity theft.

Insiders, Neighbors Comment on Britney Spears' Hospitalization
Britney Spears was carted off to the hospital for the second time in a month on Thursday — but an insider says her mental state has declined significantly since she lost custody of her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
"It's really sad," the source told FOXNews.com. "Those boys mean a lot to her, and I can't think of anything worse than having your children taken from you. Ever since she lost custody she's been on a downward spiral — I think she feels like she'll never get them back and so everything else is meaningless."

• Photo Essay: Britney taken to hospital
A visitor from Miami who was staying near Spears' home described Thursday morning's mayhem — in which Spears was taken from her home to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance and escorted by a large police presence — as "dramatic."
"I am certainly glad I don't live in Los Angeles if this type of thing goes on regularly — what a joke," the guest told FOXNews.com. "If it weren't for all the big houses and sound-proofing, I doubt anyone nearby would get much sleep."
A high-profile neighbor said the Spears madness defeats the point of living in a gated community.
"One of the reasons I elected to live in a gated community is to avoid all these crazy celebrity goings on," the Summit Circle resident told FOXNews.com. "These paparazzi that set up camp here should be fined for trespassing — it is a ridiculous thing to have to drive through every time I want to get in and out."
That said, the scene early Thursday was more controlled than the one earlier this month when Spears also was taken away from her home in an ambulance.
On Jan. 3, police were called to her home when she refused to return her two young sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has custody.
Officers had paramedics haul Spears to a hospital for undisclosed reasons. She was released after a day and a half in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Spears has been in a highly public downward spiral since filing for divorce from Federline in November 2006.
Her bizarre antics include shaving her head bald, attacking a car with an umbrella and bringing along a paparazzo pal on trips to a courthouse in her child custody case.
Spears' child custody case has become a public spectacle, with her skipping depositions and twice this month arriving at the courthouse but not attending the hearing.

The minute I saw the recipe online, I knew it was the pie I wanted to make for Thanksgiving. It had cheddar cheese worked into the crust, a savory contrast against the apples. It had a crumbly, buttery streusel topping studded with walnuts. And, wowzer of wowzers, it had chilies tossed into the fruit for a brilliant, zingy, heat-seeking high note. This was apple pie to impress, to devastate.
My dad and I made the pie together on the Wednesday before the holiday. We were cooking dinner at the same time (spaghetti bolognese with a side of garlic-chili broccoli) so we lingered over the apples, chilled the crust between swipes of the rolling pin, allowed the chilies to fully release their power before adding another, and then another. We slid the pie into the oven and ate our supper as it baked. When the timer dinged, it emerged all bubbly, golden and fragrant.
There could have been a happy ending to this story. We could have cooled the pie and then cut slices of it, my father, mother, husband and I. We could have tucked in and relished it, analyzed it, savored it. Instead we wrapped it in tin foil and left it on the sideboard overnight.
Thanksgiving day dawned bright and balmy. And harried. Six o'clock in the morning found me running around with wet hair shoving clothes into a duffle bag and duffle bags onto a luggage cart, rushing to get on the road to New York before traffic hit. The (superior) apple pie went into a bag with a couple of store-bought (inferior) pies, which we trundled towards the front door.
I heard it hit before I saw it, a sickening clunk of butter, apples, cheese and sugar followed by the shatter of the pie dish. The pie lay crumpled on the ground, embedded with shards of ceramic. Its exposed underside revealed a flaky crust streaked with cheese, the apples smelled sweetly cinnamoned, a puddle of juice seeped from its crumbs. We couldn't even take a second to mourn its demise. A wad of paper towels and a plastic bag later, I sent the pie down the trash chute to crash four floors below into the dumpster. We flipped the lights, locked the door behind us, hurried onto the highway for the seven-hour drive north.
That evening we ate (inferior) pumpkin and pecan pies, as well as my pumpkin cheesecake, which survived to reign over all the other desserts. But the memory of the lost apple pie haunted me. I needed redemption. Back in Washington on Sunday, I bought apples, chilies and cheese to bake another pie. But when I got home, I remembered I no longer had a pie plate. I ordered one immediately, but thanks to Cyber Monday madness, it hasn't even shipped yet. It'll probably arrive sometime in February. In the meantime, here's the superior apple pie recipe so you can bake your own. Please, help me find redemption vicariously through you.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and rub into the flour with clean fingertips, until the fat has been mostly combined into the flour and a few pea-sized lumps remain. Stir in the cheddar cheese. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture just comes together in a almost-crumbly dough. Gather into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap loosely in plastic and chill for one hour, preferably overnight.
To make the filling, in a large bowl combine the apples, lemon juice, sugar, spices and salt. Finely chop one chili and stir it in. Taste a slice or two of apple and add another minced chili if desired. Stir the cornstarch into the fruit.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic into a circle, about 11 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and turn the edges under, pinching them to make a pretty zig-zagged rim. Freeze until ready to fill the pie.
Make the streusel topping by combining the flour, pine nuts (or walnuts) and sugar. Drizzle the melted butter on top and stir into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
With a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs, lift the apple slices from their released juices and pile them into the pie crust. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the apple liquid on top of the fruit. Sprinkle the streusel on top. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 30 minutes, until the juices bubble and the crust is golden. Cool slightly and eat as soon as possible, before pie-tastrophe strikes.
Oh my … reading this made my heart break just like your pie dish! Yes, that would be a devastating event … I'm so sorry, but glad you had a happy thanksgiving anyway. I hope your new pie dish arrives soon. If you're like me, when you get an idea to taste something, it's hard to wait, huh?
Oh Ann. That very same thing has happened to me, but when I dropped the pan as I was removing it from the oven. It is crushing, isn't it?
My recipe wasn't nearly as interesting as this one. I love chiles SO much. And apple pie SO much, especially one with a cheddar crust. I cannot WAIT to make this pie (gluten-free, of course).
I hope your new pie plate comes quickly.
Tragic! So sorry to hear about the pie disaster. I hereby vow to make this pie, although I wish you were here to share it with me!
Reminds me of the time many years ago when I was dressed in my gorgeous ivory silk blouse and ivory wool pants,ready to go join the Thanksgiving family reunion at a relative's house. I pulled the lasagne out of the oven at the last minute so it would be hot, lost my grip, and the Pyrex dish fell to the floor, breaking and spattering tomato sauce all over me. Arghhh!
Oh no :(. A casserole dish broke in the oven once because I stupidly didn't let it come to room temperature after getting it out of the fridge before cooking it (one of those uni days cooking disasters). I'm pretty sure we ate pizza that night.
The NY Times always has such lovely recipes! Excellent addition of chillies and cheddar I have to say.
You know you can actually buy a pie plate in Washington….just saying.
I once dropped a an apple crumble on a rainy evening on West Broadway. So sad.
such a tragedy! cheddar & chillis. I am in!
Tammy — Aw, thanks. And you hit the nail on the head — I won't feel like I've made this pie until I've eaten a slice of it!
Alison — Crushing, oh yes. I still feel kind of shocked over the pie, more than a week later. But there is comfort in commiseration. If you try this pie, I hope you'll let me know how it tastes!
Camille — Oh, me too! I'll have to content myself with a photo… if you make the pie I would love to see your creation, Ms Pâtissière!
Anita — And all over your beautiful ivory ensemble — the injustice of it! I sympathize completely. I hope you didn't get injured from flying Pyrex and hot spatters of sauce :( Thanks for stopping by — I'm so glad I'm not the only one to have suffered a cooking catastrophe.
Edna — Ha ha, thank you! It was quite a traumatic experience, though I feel a little silly saying that.
Emma — Pizza is a good solution for any cooking mishap ;) I had a once pie plate crack right down the center — thanks to your comment, I realize it was probably abused by its direct trips from freezer to oven.
Gillian — And I put walnuts in the streusel but next time I'm going to use pine nuts for extra Southwestern flair!
Merde. My husband the pie monster would have wept. He's already drooling over this recipe.
Ooooh, c'est domage!!!! And I'm with Anne, blog post be damned, that's what Dupont Circle shopping is for. Get thee to thy non-virtual pie plate like … umm … now.
Oh no…I'm sorry..this sounds tragic, but it's also quite funny. My mother once made a beautiful cake for my birthday, all from scratch, flowers adoring the top. She hid it in the laundry room, and when it came time to present it, the cake was missing, and our puppy Midnight was no where to be find. Turned out the naughty pooch had devoured it and then snuck off to hide. Oh…so sad!
Bobbi — Honestly, I still kind of feel like weeping when I think about it.
Voie de Vie — I just got notification that the pie plate shipped! It's on its way. Apple pie coming right up!

From "Me Too" to "Not One More"
Imagine if the burden to combat sexual assault didn't have to fall on any of these brave women — from celebrities to interns — pleading with the public to listen to stories they never wanted to have to recall.
Originally in InsideSources

From Congress to Hollywood, 42 and counting men in power have been brought down by sexual assault allegations since October — most recently a failed Republican Senate candidate in deep-red Alabama.
Naturally, this has people asking: Is this a watershed moment?
Sexual assault is dominating headlines because a campaign called the #MeToo movement has been dominating social media for more than two months (a century in internet years). The issue has been so pervasive that every woman I know, myself included, has been saying "finally" — even when it brings up traumatic memories they'd rather not recall.
But this movement is much older than hashtags.
The "Me Too" campaign was started by Tarana Burke a decade ago. Many years before her came Rosa Parks — who was a sexual assault investigator before she rode that famous bus. And before Parks came generations of black women who resisted the commodification of their bodies under slavery.
That's more than 200 years of campaigning against sexual violence in the making.
And yet just over a year ago, a man accused of sexual assault by 19 women was elected president and still sits in the Oval Office. This spring, reports of sexual assault in the U.S. military reached record highs. And this month, hundreds of thousands of Alabamians cast their votes for a Senate candidate accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls.
Given that history — and these headlines — why has it taken so long for the public to get on board with the fact that sexual assault happens all the time, in every industry?
Anita Hill, famous for her sexual harassment case against a still-serving Supreme Court justice, spelled it out for the New Yorker recently: In order for a woman to be believed in these cases, she said, "they have to fit a narrative that the public will buy."
Often it takes someone conventionally beautiful, someone powerful, and even better, someone famous, to have a good shot at being believed. Someone like Angelina Jolie or Gwyneth Paltrow, who helped bury a disgraced film producer in the early days of the latest groundswell.
All the same, what's special about this moment is that some very powerful people are starting to be held accountable. A resignation here and a canceled TV show there is truly something to write home about.
I don't know if this is a watershed moment, or how long the momentum from the #MeToo campaign will last. But I do know that recounting your story can be traumatizing — and that many survivors will become burnt out.
And what to do about women who don't have the advantages Anita Hill laid out? Or whose assailants aren't well known public figures?
Maybe there's another way.
Imagine instead a system where institutions do the heavy lifting to prevent sexual assault from occurring in the first place.
I'm talking about high schools and colleges prioritizing sexual violence prevention programs in their curriculum, rather than cutting funding for those programs. I'm talking about protections for low-wage, domestic and tipped workers who experience sexual harassment at nearly double the rate of other women.
I'm talking about industries setting standards like a clearly outlined reporting process that doesn't put an undue burden on the reporter, establishing zero-tolerance policies for retaliation, and creating leadership structures that set cultural norms against harassment and assault.
And putting more women in positions of power wouldn't hurt either.
In the meantime, we owe a great deal of gratitude to survivors like Tarana Burke. But my hope is that one day we won't need a #MeToo campaign — the message instead will be Not One More.

The UK Mastitis Control Plan clearly states that mains water is preferred to on farm sources due to lower bacterial pressure on the animals that drink it from their troughs, bowls or vessels. But cows drink large volumes of water. But do they drink as much as they could do? Is their milk yield potential under achieved due to putrid tasting water? Does water infected by bad bacteria challenge their immune system and ultimately cause infections?
Helping farmers clean their water sources is an area Pruex specialise in.
