Route 1 Reads Project
The Rhode Island Center for the Book is proud to participate in the Route 1 Reads project sponsored by the East Coast Centers for the Book! Centers for the Book in every state from Maine to Florida chose a book to represent their state.
For 2015, The Rhode Island Center for the Book's Read1Book is The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri; a story about the different paths of two brothers in post-independence India, one follows the revolutionary Naxalite movement in Calcutta and the other leaves India to pursue graduate studies at URI.
Lahiri, says, "this is the first novel where I really felt that I wanted to write about Rhode Island. I wrote a piece some years ago for an anthology called State by State that was edited by Sean Wilsey and Matt Weiland. I think it was at a point where I was just beginning to get into the writing of The Lowland. Having written that essay, having confronted for the first time this fact of my life—that I had been raised in Rhode Island, a place I never really knew, an experience I never fully came to terms with in some ways—helped me, and I thought, O.K., I would like to set this book in Rhode Island, consciously, and name it as such. So I did, and I think that it liberated me in some way to really think about it and write about it and remember it in a fuller way."

About US 1: US 1 enters Rhode Island via a small bridge from Pawcatuck, CT to Downtown Westerly. Route 1 winds through Downtown Westerly, passing two shopping plazas (the Granite Street Shopping Center and the Franklin Shopping Plaza) prior to a junction with RI 78, the two-lane highway designed to bypass Downtown. A right onto Airport Road at this intersection provides access to Westerly State Airport, Watch Hill and Misquamicut. Route 1 continues to Dunn's Corners, with Langworthy Road providing more beach access. The road then becomes a divided highway shortly after, with RI 1A merging into the highway from the Misquamicut area. Route 1 then crosses into Charlestown, RI near Shelter Harbor. After stoplight intersections with Ross Hill Road (RI 216), West Beach Road-providing access to Quonochontaug, East Beach Road-providing access to Blue Shutters Town Beach and East Beach, and Wildflower Road, there are no more stoplights until the end of the freeway after the Wakefield, RI exits. Access to exits on the opposite side of the road is provided through u-turn ramps. The southbound side has junction with Prosser Trail, a road leading to Burlingame State Park. Burlingame access is also located prior to the East Beach Road exit. An exit for Route 1A on the northbound side leads to Ningret Park and the police station. Route 1 bends to the right. On the southbound side is Kings Factory Road. Another junction with Route 1A occurs on Route 1 North. 1A merges onto 1 from the south, briefly, before exiting and continuing north to Cross Mills. Route 1 north then features a ramp providing access to Cross Mills and Route 1A-leading to Charlestown Breachway and Charlestown Town Beach-for those just merging in on a u-turn from Route 1 south via a junction with RI 2 / RI 112 (South County Trail). Another set of u-turn ramps is located for access to Routes 2 and 112. After northbound junctions with more beach access roads (Falcone Lane, Narrow Lane, which is split in half by the highway, the other half continuing on the southbound side that leads to South County Trail), US 1 continues into South Kingstown, where Green Hill Beach Road (Route 1A) meets US 1 on the northbound side, and Post Road (also Route 1A) meets Route 1 south. After a junction with Moonstone Beach Road (northbound side leads to the Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, southbound side leads to Perryville), RI 110 meets Route 1 south. Prior to this on the southbound side, Route 1A meets Route 1. Back to the northbound side, where Matunuck Beach Road is found, leading to the beachside community of Matunuck, RI. Following this is Succotash Road, which leads to Jerusalem, RI, Snug Harbor, and East Matunuck State Beach. Then comes Post Road, leading to the signed destination-Jerry Brown Farm Road. Another Post Road/Route 1A junction comes on US 1 north, before it meets the highway again after a brief exit less stint. Route 1 south's junction with Post Road/Route 1A north leads to Wakefield and Peace-Dale. The road becomes a freeway and has two exits for the Salt Pond/South County Hospital area. A third exit leads to RI 108 and Narragansett's town beach, Galilee, and Point Judith. A Wakefield exit marks the end of the freeway. Access to South County Commons comes soon. RI 138 meets from the west, and stays on in the concurrency until the exits for access to the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge and Jamestown, and the Claiborne and Newport. Route 1 then meets RI 4, a thruway leading to I-95.

Priorities and Projects
Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) take the lead in planning and commissioning care for their populations and providing system leadership. They bring together NHS providers, NHS commissioners and local authorities to work in partnership in improving health and care in their area. Tees Valley CCG forms part of the North East and North Cumbria ICS.
Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs) are alliances of NHS providers that work together to deliver care by agreeing to collaborate rather than compete. These providers include hospitals, community services, mental health services, GPs, Social care and independent and third sector providers.
Tees Valley CCG forms part of the 'South ICP' and is one of four ICPs in the North East and North Cumbria ICS. The following statutory organisations are involved:
Tees Valley CCG
Three NHS Foundation Trusts – County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (Darlington site), North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, South Tees NHS Foundation Trust.
Five Local Authorities – Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton.
One Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Trust – Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust.
North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust
Working across Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington, Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland, the South ICP has been set up to focus on 'place' and ensure the sustainability of services for the local population that meets quality, clinical and financial standards whilst tackling the challenges faced regarding recruitment and staffing shortages.
We want to improve health and wellbeing ensuring people have the best possible outcomes and we will do this through building on the strong foundations we have already started to develop through organisations working together across health and social care.
Transforming the way we work across the South ICP will deliver a positive shift towards improving "population health"; by integrating the way we deliver care as well as tackling the significant wider determinants of the health and wellbeing of our population.
The objectives of the South ICP are:
To ensure our population has access to the best possible care through the system wide delivery of a joint programme of hospital services consolidation and transformation – our clinical strategy; including mental health care and services for those with Learning Disabilities
To improve our population's health, wealth and wellbeing through increased use of Population Health Management approaches, more targeted prevention activities and increased application of personalised care
To ensure optimal use of resources for patient pathways through increasing local integration at place to support more integrated out of hospital services based around communities; aiding our financial recovery and driving service sustainability
To attract and retain a skilled workforce across clinical networks – to address our current workforce pressures.
2020/21 Planning
The 2020/21 NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance was released on Friday 31 January 2020 and sets out the 20/21 delivery requirements of the NHS Long Term Plan:
Maintain and improve access to services
Expand primary and community services
Continue to transform services through system working
Meet the Mental Health Investment Standard
Continue to improve outcomes and care for people with a learning disability or autism
Begin to implement the people plan
Reduce the NHS Carbon Footprint
Live within agreed financial trajectories
Embed and strengthen governance of our system as we move to 'system by default'
National submissions will be made at ICS level to evidence system working to achieve these requirements but will be built from ICP and place based plans. This system plan is required to be submitted by the 29th April 2020.
Tees Valley CCG's will enhance existing plans to feed into the ICS level plan.
Through the Health and Wellbeing Board we are working with our Local Authority partners to empower the population of the Tees Valley to live longer and healthier lives. Our priorities are to:
address the underlying causes of inequalities.
collaborate on planning, commissioning and delivery of health and social care.
ensure information and data sharing across the health and well-being system.
NHS Long Term Plan
As medicine advances, health needs change and society develops, the NHS has to continually move forward so that in 10 years time we have a service fit for the future. The NHS Long Term Plan is drawn up by frontline staff, patients groups, and national experts to be ambitious but realistic. Read more about the NHS Long Term Plan.

A Burnley lad born and bred, it is good to see work on the Weavers' Triangle almost complete after decades of neglect and inaction.
With the road improvements from the Gannow to the Mitre, the council will no doubt be pleased with the result of their efforts. Well they could be but for the obvious blot on the landscape.
For reasons unknown, which can only be down to incompetence or negligence, the boarded-up Mitre pub has been left intact. And why is this a problem? First, it is not possible for two HGVs or buses travelling down to the Mitre to exit to the centre and along Trafalgar at the same time. One of them has to give way. Likewise, it is not possible for a HGV or bus to enter Trafalgar from the Mitre if a HGV or bus is coming from Trafalgar at the same time. The reverse also obviously applies. Hindsight is not the problem, just an appreciation of the obvious problems of HGVs and buses entering and leaving Trafalgar.
Setting aside the access problem to Trafalgar for a moment, the Mitre is regarded as the gateway to the Weavers' Triangle. If you were going to spend several millions of pounds regenerating the area, would you leave a shabby building at the Gateway untouched? Of course not. Even worse, new road and pavements have been installed around the pub.
I should imagine most of the builders wondered why they they were not demolishing the pub, before replacing the road and pavement with materials to match the rest of Trafalgar's pavement and road.
If I were a betting man, I would bet the Mitre pub will be demolished within two years. The road will be widened at this point to allow simultaneous exit and entrance to the centre and Trafalgar by HGVs and buses. It would also allow the slip road for buses to extend naturally from Trafalgar up to the existing bus slip road.
Sadly, the cost will be borne by the taxpayer. No-one will take responsibility for failing to demolish the pub at the same time as the Weavers' Triangle and road improvements, thus reducing the cost to the taxpayer.
Though I can't be sure, I am also of the belief the Mitre pub was compulsory purchased by the council some time ago, which would have made the work much easier to do from a planning point of view. Perhaps what is most ironic about this problem is the fact the Mitre pub, on the Trafalgar side, now has a notice on it that reads, "!Warning! Narrow Road". Need I say more?
In reply, Kate Ingram, Burnley Council's head of regeneration and planning policy, said: "The Weavers' Triangle public realm scheme is not just to improve the aesthetics of Trafalgar Street, but also to create a more pedestrian friendly environment, fitting of the road's new uses. The scheme has also involved widening the footpaths and creating pinch points in the road to slow traffic speeds. The preferred route for HGVs is along Burnham Gate.


These items are already equipped at the start of the quest, depending upon your class. They are also received if the tutorial is skipped.
Note: This is the Tutorial quest, and is skipped if the player chooses the skip tutorial option at the start of the game, in which case the game starts at the next quest in the chain.
"While out for a night-time stroll in the Shire, there is a certain unpleasant feeling lingering about…something on the air is strange tonight. Perhaps it is only the unseasonable chill, or the great darkness of this particular evening. But surely it is nothing noteworthy, for this is the Shire, and it is rare indeed for any evil to touch this land."
While out for a nighttime stroll, you encounter Bounder Boffin on an especially dark road in the Shire.
You should speak with the fellow on the road ahead of you. Speak with Elrond, who is urgent to speak with you. Right-click on characters to interact.
You should speak with the fellow on the road ahead of you.
Bounder Boffin says, "Who goes there?"
Bounder Boffin says, "Who are you, and what do you want?"
You have encountered a rattled Bounder on the road in the Green Hill Country.
You should speak with Bounder Boffin to hear what he has to say.
The hobbit is startled, but the alarm on his face melts into relief when he sees your face.
Bounder Boffin says, "You startled me, that's all."
Bounder Boffin says, "There's an odd chill in the air tonight -- very strange. Do you feel it?"
Bounder Boffin says, "We'll both feel safer if you come along with me. Do you know how to fight, <name>?"
Bounder Boffin says, "You just need a weapon of some sort."
Bounder Boffin says, "Here is the satchel I dropped when you startled me."
Bounder Boffin says, "Inside is a spare weapon. You should loot it for yourself, and then equip it to use it."
The satchel is near Bounder Boffin on the road.
You should peek inside the satchel to see if it contains anything that could be useful to you on a dark night like tonight.
Bounder Boffin wishes to see if you are capable of wielding a blade to defend yourself.
You should practice sparring with Bounder Boffin so that you will both feel more confident on the dark road.
Bounder Boffin says, "Try coming at me, <name>!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Well done! You ought to consider being a Bounder yourself someday!"
Bounder Boffin wishes to patrol the road, for he had an eerie sort of feeling about this night.
You should patrol the road with Bounder Boffin.
Bounder Boffin says, "Oh my! Did you hear something?"
Bounder Boffin says, "There, down the road! Who could that be?"
Peregrin Took says, "I'm hungry! We've been walking for at least an hour!"
Samwise Gamgee says, "You ate my loaf of bread AND yours already, Mr. Pippin."
Peregrin Took says, "Now Sam, don't be stingy! I know you have another. Let's have it here!"
Frodo Baggins says, "Poor Sam! You'll never have a peaceful meal again-- hello, who's this?"
Bounder Boffin says, "More travellers at night! And who might you be?"
Frodo Baggins says, "Well met, my good bounder! My name is…Underhill."
Frodo Baggins says, "And here are my fellow travellers, Samwise Gamgee and Peregrin Took."
Bounder Boffin says, "Why, I've never seen so many hobbits out of bed! And on such a strange night, too."
Peregrin Took says, "Strange? But it is a lovely night for a stroll!"
Frodo Baggins says, "Hush, Pippin…What do you mean, strange? Have you seen anything odd along the road?"
Samwise Gamgee says, "Mercy, what is that?"
Frodo Baggins says, "I think…."
Frodo Baggins says, "…I think we should get off this road at once."
Peregrin Took says, "You don't need to tell me that twice!"
Samwise Gamgee says, "Mr. Frodo! What are you waiting for?"
Frodo Baggins says, "…I'm coming, Sam."
Black Rider says, "Hssss…stay, halflings!"
Black Rider says, "Where is Bagginss? Speak!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Th-there aren't no B-bagginses in these parts, sir!"
Black Rider says, "Little Fools…."
Bounder Boffin says, "Gracious me! Did you see that, <name>?"
Black Rider says, "You will be dealt with later!"
Bounder Boffin says, "L-let's get out of here!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Odo's farm! I'll get this door open, and we can cut through…."
Bounder Boffin says, "Got it!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Eek! Spiders!"
Bounder Boffin says, "How I detest spiders!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Will you clear the path, <name>?"
The spiders are in Odo's Leaf Farm.
Bounder Boffin is afraid of spiders, and wishes for you to clear the path before he ventures further down.
Bounder Boffin says, "I hate spiders…."
Bounder Boffin says, "Let's press on!"
Bounder Boffin is waiting for you on the path.
You should speak with Bounder Boffin before continuing your escape through the farm.
You should follow Bounder Boffin to escape the menace on the road.
Bounder Boffin says, "Blast! I just need to find the key…."
Bounder Boffin says, "Here we go."
Bounder Boffin says, "Mercy me! Spider webs!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Have you ever seen such enormous webs, <name>?"
Bounder Boffin will need protection from spiders as he hacks at their sturdy webs.
You should defeat spiders and protect Bounder Boffin while he tries to get you to safety.
Bounder Boffin says, "I'll hew the webs. Will you protect me from any spiders that come along?"
Bounder Boffin is trying to get to safety through Odo's Leaf Farm.
You should follow Bounder Boffin to a safer road, which will lead you both to a nearby town.
Bounder Boffin says, "Ah! At last."
Bounder Boffin says, "I don't see any more spiders! Hooray!"
Bounder Boffin says, "This is the last door until we get to the road!"
Bounder Boffin says, "We did it! There's the road ahead!"
Mundo Sackville-Baggins says, "Brigands! We're being chased!"
Celandine Brandybuck says, "Help! Help!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Mundo Sackville-Baggins! Celandine Brandybuck! What are you doing here?"
Mundo Sackville-Baggins says, "What does it look like, you ninny?"
Mundo Sackville-Baggins says, "We are being chased by brigands! Do something about it!"
Celandine Brandybuck says, "Come, let's cut through the farm! We can lock them out!"
Bounder Boffin says, "But-but there are spiders behind that door, and a terrible horseman on the road! We only just escaped!"
Brigand Leader says, "There they are!"
Bounder Boffin says, "Brigands! Help!"
Celandine Brandybuck says, "Keep away, you brutes!"
Brigand Leader says, "You'll not be getting away from us this time, Mr. Baggins!"
Brigand says, "Got you at last! You've got nowhere to run."
Brigand Leader says, "You'll be coming to Archet with us, all of you. The Rider will decide your fate there!"
Celandine Brandybuck says, "You villains! What do you want with Mundo?"
Brigand Leader says, "Your Mr. Baggins is wanted by someone who is lending us great aid in exchange for finding him."
Brigand says, "The Blackwolds will have unimaginable power now, thanks to your Baggins!"
You are in a jail cell, surrounded by the brigands who kidnapped you and your fellow hobbits.
Strider says, "Hobbits seem to turn up in the most unlikely places, Bounder Boffin!"
Strider says, "Are there any other hobbits waiting for rescue in this perilous place, Mr. Boffin?"
Bounder Boffin says, "No indeed, Mr. Ranger! Just me, <name>, Celandine, and Mundo!"
Strider says, "That is a relief! Now come with me, both of you."
A mysterious, weather-worn Man is waiting for you in the Brigand jail.
You should speak with your rescuer so that he may guide you out of danger.
Strider: 'Come, <name>! I can see that you have a brave spirit, but it is time to flee. The Baggins they captured is not the Baggins being hunted.
'The brigands will not follow us when they learn of their error, but it would be wise to be far away from here.
The door that takes you out of the jail is down the corridor from your jail cell.
You should follow Strider out the door of the jail.
Amdir says, "Strider! I cannot hold him back, my friend!"
Amdir has helped to rescue your friends from the cruel Brigands.
You are now supposed to meet up with Strider's companion, a Ranger named Amdir.
Strider says, "The door is locked! Hold fast, Amdir!"
Bounder Boffin says, "O help us!"
Amdir says, "Back, wraith! Begone!"
Black Rider says, "This is not the end, Dúnadan."
Strider says, "Come, hobbits. It is safe now."
Celandine Brandybuck says, "Poor Amdir!"
Strider now kneels by his grievously wounded friend, Amdir.
You should talk to Strider, for he will best know what to do next.
Strider: 'Stay close to me this night, <name>…we must get Amdir to safey. It is to Archet that me must flee!
You have unlocked the movie 'Hobbits and Men - Jailbreak'.

Q: How to add data for sql to combobox? this code is working
TextBoxService is a combobox
Connection()
Dim sql As String
CON.Open()
DTS = New DataSet
sql = "SELECT * FROM Service"
dap = New SqlDataAdapter(sql, CON)
dap.Fill(DTS, "Service")
TextBoxService.DataSource = DTS.Tables("Service")
TextBoxService.DisplayMember = "ServiceName"
TextBoxService.ValueMember = "ServiceID"

because I need to at it to 2 comboboxes. it will change both comboboxes when I selectd a combobox.
 so i try to use this
bds = New BindingSource
DTS = New DataSet
bds.DataSource = DTS.Tables("Service")
TextBoxService.DataSource = bds
TextBoxService.DisplayMember = "ServiceName"
TextBoxService.ValueMember = "ServiceID"

but it show this error Cannot bind to the new display member

A: There is more than one way to this the easy and simple I find is if you
*import the SQL data base in data sources
*Select the table you want and set the object type eg( combobox, textbox or checkbox)
*Then select eg combobox and click on the small arrow to the top left hand corner
*Select you data source(table), display member(field name)
* then go to the properties of the combobox object and select data binding plus sign
* click on text and click the data source (table) and field you want to display the data from

A: You can also do it as
Declare SQLConnection Declare SQLDataReader Declare SQLCommand
Try
    If Con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
        Con.Open()

    cmd.Connection = Con
    cmd.CommandText = "Select field1, field2 from table"

    dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()

    ' Fill a combo box with the datareader
    Do While dr.Read = True
        ComboBoxName.Items.Add(dr.GetString(0))
        ComboBoxName.Items.Add(dr.GetString(1))
    Loop

    Con.Close()
    End If

Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox(ex.Message)

End Try

Hope it works for you.

This has been the best training course I have ever attended. I really enjoyed it. I liked the fact that a number of different training consultants were used, all of whom had extensive experience in the subject areas. This added to the variety of the experience. Furthermore, LCT employees were so helpful and kind to me. I wish you all the best.
I would like to thank all the LCT employees. It was a really useful course and they made my stay in London better.
The facilitators were excellent. Going away with good memories and impressions about London Corporate Training.
I frequently visit the place for its atmosphere and friendly students and staffs and also applied for an early years course.


Apparently I curled up on the couch and crashed about time roomie went off to dinner, leading to a silly remark when they/he got back..as the Kitteh had curled up on the other couch in a similar manner .. those who have seen me sleep on couches will realise this is hardly unusual .. expect maybe for Kitteh.
Forceably went wandering about shopping yesterday, and ate some. Was up all day sort of from 8 AM through the couch curling incident, which was in the middle of the Vlad movie.
I think I mostly woke up, or at least got and got the laptop, juie, and oatmeal because I had to flip away from the Vonage propaganda on SciFi to [as] on Toon.
Fingernails are black. That was a bit jarring to wake up to. And there's "Fukai Mori" and now Voltron.
Ah well, back to trying not to be sick, which has been my full-time occupation this week. At least my crazy has not leaked out again yet. I guess that was Tuesday.


Home/Gadgets/Android/Review Of Google Pixel Phone – Is This A Worthy Alternative To Iphone?
The Google Pixel phone is a flagship device, harbouring the first proper invasion into phones by Google, the search engine giant. And yes, it has definitely done a good job indeed! The Pixel phone is available in 2 different sizes and this post contains the review of the smaller one. The larger one, the 5.5 inch Pixel XL is touted to have one of the best cameras among all phones and possesses software which is better than any other Android Device. You got to pay a premium amount for all these features and once you use the phone, you'll know that it's worth it.
Have a quick glance at the key features of the Google Phone which has currently become extremely hyped.
Design of this Google phone is perhaps the least interesting part of the whole idea of the Google Pixel phone. There are many who will dislike this design completely but some may find it serviceable. The design of this phone isn't as flashy as Galaxy S7 but it is way nicer than the recent batch of iPhones. The body is made up of glass and metal and it slims down slightly at the rear end to help you avoid any kind of camera bumps. There is a circular fingerprint sensor below the sensor of the camera and it is protected by a glass panel.
5-inch displays are now becoming something rare in the world of Android but for many users they offer the perfect mix of size and portability. This is a 5-inch display phone with the capabilities of a larger device. The display of this phone is fantastic and can be said to be one of the best at its size. It has got an AMOLED panel, the same technology which Samsung uses for its Galaxy series.
So, if you're bored of using those Samsung and iPhone smartphones, you can definitely think of switching to this flagship phone from Google. To know more on recent smart phones click here to get all the updates.

Herz-Jesu ist eine katholische Pfarrkirche in Avenwedde, einem Stadtteil im ostwestfälischen Gütersloh in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland. Kirche und Gemeinde gehören zum Pastoralverbund Avenwedde-Friedrichsdorf im Erzbistum Paderborn.

Ursprünglich wurde sie als dreischiffige neugotische Backstein-Hallenkirche errichtet. An das dreijochige Langhaus schloss sich im Osten ein polygonaler Chor an. 1953–54 wurde die Kirche um das Doppelte erweitert. Dabei wurden die historisierenden Formen des Altbaus übernommen. Im Rahmen des Umbaus wurde der Chor nach Westen verlegt. Den achteckigen, 55 m hohen Turm fügte man dem zunächst lediglich mit einem Dachreiter ausgestatteten Bau erst 1964 hinzu.

Vorgeschichte bis zu den Anfängen der Pfarrgemeinde
Die frühesten bekannten Angaben zum religiösen Leben im heutigen Avenwedde beziehen sich auf den Kreis Wiedenbrück, der von seiner Gründung an, um das Jahr 800 herum, dem Bistum Osnabrück zugehörig war. Die weitere kirchliche Gliederung vollzog sich wohl aufgrund der spärlichen Besiedelung nur sehr langsam. Zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts kam es zu einer kirchlichen Neuordnung, die das Ende des Osnabrücker Bistums bedeutete. Die Dekanate Wiedenbrück und Rietberg wurden dabei in die Diözese Paderborn überführt.

Über mehrere Jahrhunderte hinweg war die Gütersloher Pankratiuskirche (die heutige Apostelkirche) für die umliegenden Bauerschaften, darunter Avenwedde, zuständig. Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde das Dorf Friedrichsdorf gegründet und die katholischen Siedler zu einer Pfarrgemeinde vereinigt. Die Gottesdienste wurden zunächst in einer Scheune abgehalten, bis Sammlungen in den Bauerschaften Friedrichsdorf und Avenwedde den Baubeginn einer Kirche ermöglichten. 1804 erfolgte die Grundsteinlegung, noch im selben Jahr die Einweihung. Aufgrund von Baufälligkeit begann man 1864 mit dem Bau der neuen Kirche St. Friedrich, die 1866 eingeweiht wurde und als "Mutterkirche der Herz-Jesu Pfarrgemeinde" bezeichnet wird. Etwa 85 % der Pfarrgemeinde bestand zu der Zeit aus Bewohnern der Bauerschaft Avenwedde, die jedoch teilweise ihr religiöses Leben in St. Pankratius in Gütersloh führten.

Geschichte der Pfarrgemeinde Herz-Jesu
Um 1960 herum kam es verstärkt zum Ausbau der Kirche und anderer kirchlicher Gebäude. Grund war der steigende Wohlstand der Gemeindemitglieder, bedingt durch die sogenannte zweite industrielle Revolution (viele Bauvorhaben wurden zu großen Teilen privat, also durch Spenden finanziert).

Am 18. November 1966 konstituierte sich der Pfarrgemeinderat nach bischöflicher Weisung, um den Pfarrer zu unterstützen und gemeinsam mit ihm Angelegenheiten zu beschließen, die die Pfarrgemeinde betreffen. Seit 1972 findet jährlich ein Pfarrgemeindefest statt, durch dessen Erlöse unter anderem Bauvorhaben in der Gemeinde finanziert werden.

Erwähnenswert ist noch die direkt nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg aufgenommene enge Zusammenarbeit mit der Schönstatt-Bewegung. Dieser traten mehrere Mitglieder der Gemeinde bei. Der Orden war dafür an der Gestaltung des Kirchenvorplatzes beteiligt (Marien-Bildstock) und im Rahmen der Pater-Noldus-Aktion in Celebes tätig (siehe unten).

Im Jahr 2004 zählte die Gemeinde 3.550 Seelen. Seit Juli 2003 gehört sie zum Pastoralverbund Avenwedde-Friedrichsdorf.

Caritative Aufgaben

Parallel zum Kirchenbau wurde die Kapellenschule errichtet. Der erste Kindergarten wurde 1946 erbaut. Er war von 1951 bis 1960 geschlossen, da das Gebäude als Schule benötigt wurde, und ist seitdem wieder in Betrieb (mittlerweile in einem zweiten Gebäudekomplex an anderer Stelle). Die Gemeinde betreibt darüber hinaus einen eigenen Friedhof.

Pfarrer Karl Hoffmann (1960–1980 im Amt), der selbst während des Krieges in den KZs Buchenwald und Dachau inhaftiert war, war zeitlebens um eine Aussöhnung und Zusammenarbeit mit Polen bemüht. 1973 wurde ihm von der polnischen Literaturzeitschrift Polen das Abzeichen Amicus Poloniae ("Freund Polens") verliehen, und im folgenden Jahr besuchten polnische Geistliche die Gemeinde für gemeinsame Gottesdienste und eine Wallfahrt nach Werl.

Pater-Noldus-Aktion

1965 übernahm der holländische Missionar Pater Karl Noldus, der sich gerade auf Heimaturlaub befand, auf Weisung des Bischofs eine Krankenvertretung in der Herz-Jesu-Gemeinde. Dadurch wurde diese mit der von schwerer Armut geprägten Situation der Bewohner der indonesischen Insel Celebes (heute: Sulawesi) konfrontiert. Es kam zu spontanen und später organisierten Hilfsaktionen in Form von Sachlieferungen, Schulen- und Kirchenbauten und der Förderung des Priesternachwuchses. Später beteiligten sich auch andere Gemeinden an der Pater-Noldus-Aktion. Im Gegenzug kamen häufiger Geistliche aus Celebes nach Avenwedde. Die starke Verbundenheit zeigte sich auch dadurch, dass Pater Noldus nach dem Ende seiner Missionarstätigkeit für eine kurze Zeit als Vikar in Avenwedde tätig wurde.

Ausgewählte Vereine der Pfarrgemeinde

 katholische Frauengemeinschaft (1919 als Mütterverein in St. Friedrich gegründet)
 katholische Arbeitnehmer-Bewegung KAB (1921 als Arbeiterverein St. Josef gegründet, nach dem Verbot durch die Nationalsozialisten 1947 im Gesamtverband der KAB neu formiert)
 Kolpingsfamilie (1928 als Abspaltung der Gütersloher Kolpingsfamilie gegründet)
 Deutsche Jugendkraft DJK Blau-Weiß Avenwedde (1925)
 St. Sebastianus-Schützenbruderschaft (1926 als Bürgerschützenverein Avenwedde gegründet, mit dem heutigen Namen seit 1948)
 Pfarr-Caritas (seit 1961)

Geschichte der Kirche
Ab etwa 1900 begann, nicht zuletzt aufgrund schnell steigender Bevölkerungszahlen, eine öffentliche Diskussion um den Bau einer eigenen Kirche für Avenwedde. 1909 stiftete das Ehepaar Christoph und Elisabeth Hauertmann ein drei Morgen großes Grundstück, gebunden an die Auflage, dass innerhalb von 20 Jahren auf diesem eine Kirche gebaut würde. Am 20. Oktober 1910 beantragten drei Mitglieder des Kirchenvorstands der Pfarrgemeinde Friedrichsdorf die Genehmigung für den Bau einer Kapelle. Der Antrag wurde vom Kirchenvorstand jedoch zunächst abgelehnt. Am 27. November 1911 wurde der Kapellen-Bau- und Unterhaltungsverein zu Avenwedde gegründet und ins Vereinsregister beim Amtsgericht Gütersloh eingetragen, mit dem Ziel, eine juristische Person als Stifter für die Kirche einzusetzen. So konnten Spenden für den Bau gesammelt werden. 1912 waren die eingegangenen Spenden hoch genug um einen Bauplan anzufertigen und der Bischöflichen Behörde zur Genehmigung vorzulegen. Im Juli 1913 fand die Grundsteinlegung statt.

Am 10. Mai 1914 konnte die Weihe der neogotischen Kirche gefeiert werden. Die Kirche wurde zunächst als Vikarie von St. Friedrich geführt. Am 23. Oktober 1916 wurde der erste Vikar in Avenwedde eingeführt. 1920 gab es die ersten Signale des Erzbischöflichen Generalvikariats in Paderborn, die Herz-Jesu-Gemeinde eigenständig zu machen, zum 18. Juli 1921 wurde sie zunächst eine selbständige Vikarie. 1921/1923 wurde das Pfarrhaus errichtet. Durch die schwierige wirtschaftliche Lage in der Inflation zog sich die Bauzeit in die Länge.

Zum 1. April 1924 wurde Avenwedde Filialkirchengemeinde im Pfarrbezirk Friedrichsdorf mit eigenständiger Vermögensverwaltung. Der Förderverein löste sich auf und stiftete sein Vermögen der Gemeinde. Sie zählte etwa 600 Katholiken. 1928 wurde mit der Ausmalung der Kirche begonnen. 1934 konnte eine erste Orgel in die Kirche eingebaut werden. 1935 wurde das ehemalige Stallgebäude am Pfarrhaus zum Pfarrheim umgebaut. 1939 wurde die Kirche mit einer Warmluftheizung ausgestattet.

Da die Gemeinde nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wuchs, wurde der Kapellenbau bald zu klein. So wurde am 2. Juli 1953 der Grundstein für einen Erweiterungsbau gelegt, der Ostern 1954 abgeschlossen werden konnte. Am 1. Juli 1955 wurden die Kirche und der Altar durch den Weihbischof Franz Hengsbach geweiht. Gleichzeitig wurde die Gemeinde zur eigenständigen Pfarrei erhoben. Der erweiterte Bau war nun doppelt so lang, mit Platz für etwa 700 Besucher. Dabei kam es zu einer neuen Raumausrichtung: Die Kirchenlängsachse wurde um 180 Grad gedreht, so dass der Altar nun auf der anderen Seite lag. Hinter dem Altarraum befindet sich jetzt ein Chorraum, dazu gibt es zwei Seitenaltäre und eine Orgelempore. Eine Kanzel wurde dabei entfernt.

Am 10. Mai 1964 (gleichzeitig mit dem 50-jährigen Kirchenjubiläum) wurde der Grundstein für den Kirchturm gelegt. Da es nach Umbau keine Fassade mehr gab, die zu einem Turm hätte ausgebaut werden können, entschied der Kirchenvorstand, den Turm getrennt von der Kirche zu errichten. Es handelt sich um einen achteckigen Turm mit einer Höhe von 55 Metern, vier Glocken und einem mit Kupferblech gedecktem Dach. Seit 1974 befindet sich im Innern eine Aufbahrungsstätte. 1971 bekam die Kirche eine neue Orgel mit 2343 Pfeifen in 30 Registern. Bei Renovierungsarbeiten im Jahr 1977 wurden Altarraum und Seitenaltäre neu gestaltet. Am 4. Dezember 1977 erfolgte die Weihe des neuen Altars durch den Paderborner Erzbischof Johannes Joachim Degenhardt. In den Altar wurden Reliquien der Märtyrer Castus und Aureus eingelassen.

Von Mai bis Oktober 2005 wurde die Kirche abermals renoviert und konnte ab dem 16. Oktober 2005 wieder genutzt werden.

Anhängige Bauvorhaben

1961 wurde das Pfarrhaus ausgebaut, in dem dann auch Jugendarbeit, Bildungsarbeit (wie z. B. Eheseminare) und eine Pfarrbücherei ("Avenwedder Lesergemeinde") untergebracht wurde. 1965 wurden Jugendheim und Vikarie gebaut. 1976 wurde ein neues Pfarrhaus errichtet.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one way to put it, Barack Obama the President of the United States, is a schm**k. He finally sent a message to flooded Louisiana. Was it words of comfort? Not Barack Obama.
There is nothing more irritating than to have someone seek to find problems where there is none. Those who strive to stir up strife where none exists should make both people wonder what the motive is behind such allegations.
It is even more outrageous that someone who is too busy vacationing to be of assistance is chiming in to cause trouble. This is how many have perceived the warning issued by Obama and the Department of Justice.
President Obama has refused so far to survey the Louisiana flood disaster, but he did let state and local officials know that he's watching to make sure they don't engage in racial discrimination.

Ad calling out Trump for anti-Asian rhetoric will air in battleground states
The group behind the ad "Words Matter" says it's speaking to people of color and recent immigrants from battleground states who haven't voted before.

A pro-immigrant group is releasing an ad in battleground states calling out President Donald Trump for racist anti-Asian rhetoric in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 60-second ad "Words Matter," created by Immigrants' List Civic Action, will air on local stations in Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin in the weeks leading up to the November presidential election, and has already been posted to social media.
The ad features news stories with headlines like, "Parents fear anti-Asian racism as schools mull reopening" and "Hate crimes, harassment of Asian American rise" alongside Trump repeating refrains like "Chinese virus" and "kung flu" in reference to COVID-19. The ad cites some of NBC Asian America's reporting on the topic.
"Tell Donald Trump words matter," the ad reads in bolded text at the end.
"The point of 'Words Matter' is to highlight the kinds of racist rhetoric that Trump is using when he calls the coronavirus 'kung flu' or calls it the 'Chinese virus,'" Ira Kurzban, an immigration lawyer and the founder of Immigrants' List Civic Action, told NBC Asian America.
According to the group, the ad is one of several that is set to be released appealing to marginalized or minority groups, including Latinx Americans, Arab Americans and immigrants, in battleground states.
Kurzban said all the states his team selected were places where Trump won by a very small margin in the 2016 presidential election. He believes getting people of color and recent immigrants who haven't voted before to the ballot box in larger numbers will turn the tide in those states.
"We're trying to get people out to vote because we believe if new Americans vote, we will have a new person in the White House in January 2021," he said.
Since March, research shows that discrimination against Asian Americans has surged. Asian Americans have reported being coughed on, refused entry by stores and car services, online harassment and physical assault, according to Stop AAPI Hate, an online reporting forum launched in mid-March.
In the months that followed, the forum received hundreds of reports of discrmination or harassment from Asian Americans across the country.
John C. Yang, president and executive director of the civil rights group Asian Americans Advancing Justice, told NBC Asian America in March that he thinks Trump's phrasing has an impact.
"The deliberate use of terms like "Chinese virus" has definitely fanned the flames of racism toward Asian Americans in this country," he said. "We have seen people associate the virus with Chinese people as they are assaulting them. It's outrageous for any elected official to have been dismissive when the evidence of racist attacks continues to climb. Words matter and they often hold more weight when spoken by our politicians."

In the previous article, I listed some tips to help you avail Cebu Pacific promo fares. Now, let us talk about how can you corner PAL promo fares. Philippine Airlines or PAL is the Philippine's flag carrier and I believe that it is the popular airline for foreigners going to the Philippines. Ticket prices for PAL is expensive as compared to other local airlines that is why I don't normally buy tickets from PAL because I am such a cheapskate. I experienced riding one of their flight and I can say that I liked it. The airplane of PAL is bigger and have more legroom.
Unlike Cebu Pacific, PAL don't give regular promos. However, they offer cheap flights like the Fiesta Deal and the Fiesta Saver. Fiesta Deal is the cheapest of the fare deals being offered by PAL but it is non-refundable. Prices vary on each flight schedule and destinations but it offers 15 kilograms of baggage for each passenger. The Fiesta Saver offers 20 kilograms of free baggage for each passengers. Fiesta Deals can be lower than 2,000 Pesos (taxes and other fees not yet included), depending on the flight schedule and destination.
The slots for Fiesta Deal are easily filled that is why if you are planning to travel and you want to travel by PAL, I suggest that you book your flight as early as possible.
PAL promo fares may be offered from time to time so it is good if you are updated of the offers the moment PAL upload it on its website. I suggest that you follow Philippine Airlines on Twitter and Facebook.
3. Book online and use PAL's different payment options.
It would be easy for you if you chose to book your flight online. According to PAL website, you can pay your online booking using your credit card, SmartMoney Debit Card and BancNet ATM Card.
PAL does not require that the credit card holder be part of the traveling party. This means that you can book a flight at PAL for your family and friends even if you will not travel with them. However, PAL may demand a photocopy of the credit card before it allow the traveling party to board the plane.
BancNet ATM cards can only be used to book domestic flights only.
Those are the few tips that I can share if you want to avail of PAL promo fares. Just like what I said, PAL don't offer much promo fares like Cebu Pacific. However, the Fiesta Deal can be treated as PAL promo fares and good enough for anyone who want to fly Philippine Airlines.
Want to know how to book the PAL promo fares that you like? Read about Philippine Airlines online booking.
Read related article on how to avail Cebu Pacific promo fares and Zest Air promo fares.
Image of PAL airplane came from Wikimedia Commons.
Never checked PAL. I think it flies to KL. Should compare fares...butof course, Air Asia is the cheapest (to Clarks)...but I'm not crazy about that cheap airline.
Clark is too far away from Manila. But if you aim to go to Baguio City or other areas north of Manila, then it is good that you choose Air Asia.

Free GP care for everyone, but no mention of who will pay
Fiona Dillon Twitter Email
November 16 2012 10:34 AM
HEALTH Minister James Reilly has promised free GP care for everyone from 2015 -- but there are still no details about how the State will pay for this.
The minister made the pledge of free doctor visits for all as he outlined a timeline for major health measures, including the introduction of universal heatlhcare insurance from 2016.
However, none of the promises were costed in the plans, which set out target times for implementing some 48 reforms.
Phased
Many of the elements of the Future Health: A Strategic Framework for Reform of the Health Service document published yesterday were in the programme for Government. However the Minister said that concrete timeframes were being provided for the first time.
The document states that it will introduce legislation to extend GP care without fees on a "phased basis".
Junior Minister Alex White, who is responsible for primary care and the rollout of free GP care, could not give a definite timeline for when everyone would receive free GP visits. However, he said the plan was to have it in place "by the end of this term of office, 2016".
The Government is already behind schedule in introducing the free GP care for people with long-term illnesses, which was announced in the last Budget and is due to begin in March. It could now be as late as the middle of next year before they receive it.
Dr Reilly said he has not met the unions representing GPs yet, which would be essential if doctors who now have private patients are to become part of a free State scheme.

This news came just a few weeks after he had failed in an attempt to steal the tape back from the studio he was mixing it in after an unpaid bill meant it was being held to ransom. But both of these incidents were just two of a long line of setbacks in recording the follow up to the three million selling Too-Rye-Ay.
The tape survived, as it happens. And although the album that resulted was, by all commercial measures, a failure, it remains an artistic triumph and one of the most important albums of the eighties.
Some 29 years later, I was at a record fair thumbing through some Gerry Rafferty and Linda Ronstadt LPs with gloom in my soul, when my heart leapt. There it was: the purple cover of "Don't Stand Me Down". It's a record rich in beach boy harmonies, a "Blonde On Blonde" vibe and Van Morrison-esque soul which has barely dated since its release in 1985, but which was born out of tremendously difficult circumstances and, as I hinted earlier, on release was almost entirely ignored by the general public.
Those who know and love "Don't Stand Me Down".
Those who thought Dexy's split up after "Come On Eileen".
Anyone under the age of (roughly) thirty five, the vast majority of which will never have heard of Dexy's Midnight Runners. (This is a strange fact, but one I have tested on many occasions. Whilst most people born in the eighties will generally be aware of Wham, Boy George and Adam Ant, very few in comparison will know Dexy's Midnight Runners, despite how huge they were, particularly in the UK).
I told the dealer I bought the record from how pleased I was to find it. "Well, it's only one of the best albums ever made…" he said, as though this was received wisdom, akin to "The Beatles were a good band" or "never eat yellow snow". Yet, like many people, this is an album I came to quite late.
In April 1983 "Come On Eileen" reached the top of the Billboard charts, knocking off Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". The album sold millions. Yet whilst band leader Kevin Rowland had experienced success, it left him feeling unfulfilled. His reaction to this feeling was encapsulated in the making of "Don't Stand Me Down" which began as a vision of Rowland's socio-political view of Ireland but ended up being a more personal record. After nine months of writing, demos were made in the spring of 1984 featuring a band which included Atomic Rooster keyboardist Vincent Crane and ex-Spider from Mars Mick "Woody" Woodmansey. These songs were recorded, dumped, and re-recorded.
Three weeks in the studio became six months. Two hundred boxes of tape reels revealed the lengths perfectionist Rowland was going to. There were tales of 120 versions of "This Is What She's Like". Eight months into recording, only two songs had been completed and the record company were getting a little nervous. Strangely, the turning point appeared to be when Al Green's drummer Tim Dancy replaced Woodmansey. A flurry of songs were recorded by September 1984 and then Rowland began mixing the album – in New York. This took another two months, the release date was scheduled for spring 1985….
Yet still Kevin Rowland wasn't happy, and he spent another two weeks mixing the tapes at Electric Lady studio. The record company refused to pay the bills, and Electric Lady reputedly threatened to withhold the master tapes, leading to the incident that began this story.
It is perhaps the twelve and a half minute suite "This Is What She's Like" that most separates "Don't Stand Me Down" from the foot-stomping rag-wearing cartoon version of Dexy's that has been the traditional floor-filling staple of every party ever held since 1983. What a tune this is! Two minutes of studio chatter gives way to a killer first phase, which fades to a gorgeous a cappella "Pet Sounds" style harmony, which builds across a killer finale that knocks "Come On Eileen" into a cocked hat.
Listen also to the "Satellite of Love" feel to the reflective "My National Pride". Or even the absolute outright thievery of the excellent "One of Those Things", a song which Kevin Rowland belatedly gave Warren Zevon songwriting credit to (it is a terrific song, but a complete lift of the latter's "Werewolves of London") saying in the liner notes to a later re-issue he was "embarrassed" he hadn't credited Zevon before. There's also the hit-single-that-never-was of "I Love You (Listen To This)".
Meanwhile the eight minute closing track "The Waltz" might have sat comfortably on "Tupelo Honey" without ever feeling like it had gate-crashed an Ambassador's reception. This was an album released in 1985, which, to remind ourselves, was also the year of No Jacket Required, Songs From The Big Chair and Wham!'s Make It Big.
Don't Stand Me Down entered the UK charts at a lowly 22, three years after the release of Too-Rye-Ay. It would take many years before it was recognised as being one of the greatest albums of the eighties.
"Don't Stand Me Down" is thirty years old next year. Dexys reformed in 2012 and made the excellent album "One Day I'm Going To Soar".
It's nice to know that there was more depth behind the facade – thanks for the enlightenment, as always!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed reading this one.
The original title of "The Waltz" as "Kathleen ni Houlihan doesn't talk to Winifred Winpole anymore". The original version of the song was faster (personally I preferred the demo version). Kevin went into perfectionist mode and slowed the whole song down radically. A great album, nonetheless. But with a bit more flexibility on the way it was marketed and less perfectionism it could have been an all time hit.
I haven't heard the demo versions. On a bootleg, or is there a commercial release?
We'll. that's a bit good. I've put it on he list. Have to say that those years around and about are somewhat fuzzy in the memory.
By coincidence I just spoke to a record shop owner today and he told me it was his favourite album of all time also….
Reblogged this on A life just as ordinary.
I believe the clip is from The Tube as it's live. A fantastic song though and my favourite on the album.
That's great to hear – Merry Christmas!
Great piece – loved the summary of the three 'camps'.
Sadly, "Listen To This" never got anywhere close to being on Top Of The Pops (unless you count a showing on TOTP2 about a decade ago) which says as much about why most people don't know how good "Don't Stand Me Down" was as your article does – the Eighties were all about hit-singles and "Don't Stand Me Down" wasn't! That clip was most definitely (as jayrb1971 comments above) performed on The Tube.
What a lovely piece. Listening to the album as I write (listen to this).
Good to see this article. 'Don't Stand Me Down' is a work of genius. All three of the original Dexy's albums are 'must haves' (although the reformed 'Soar' album is also superb) but 'DSMD is a towering triumph. If you haven't heard it, do so now, and if you don't get it at first – although I can't imagine why you wouldn't – I'd advise at least six listens.

Glow fungi kits enable cultivation of natural bioluminescent fungi at home or in the garden. The glowfungi.com website will provide an opportunity for people to participate in scientific research by posting photographs and results from their experiments. Glow fungi are saprotrophs, that is, they only grow on dead organic matter and therefore should live in harmony with plants and trees.
Fungi are a unique kingdom of organisms, distantly related to animals, that have a very different lifestyle. Unlike plants, fungi do not use chlorophyll to harness energy from the sun. The vegetative form of a fungus is called the mycelium. As it grows, the mycelium secretes digestive enzymes and absorbs nutrients from its surroundings. Mushrooms and toadstools are the reproductive structures that disperse spores. A single mushroom can release millions of spores in one day. When the spores land in suitable habitat they germinate and form a new colony.
Fungi are natural recyclers of organic materials and will grow on a variety of waste materials e.g. cardboard. Many fungi are mycorrhizal; that is, they have intimate associations with plants by forming networks with root systems, allowing sharing of nutrients and water. Without fungi we would not exist!
Bioluminescence is the phenomenon where light is produced by a living organism e.g. bacteria, jellyfish and fireflies. Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction where an enzyme, "luciferase" oxidises a substrate "luciferin" and results in the production of light. Fungi have their own unique bioluminescence mechanism, however the chemistry and why they use bioluminesence remains a mystery.

Q: MessageDigest in Java to C# I am trying to translate java code to c#. I'm kind of stuck on this exercise below:
      MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
      md.reset();
      md.update(pass.getBytes());
      byte[] enc = md.digest();
      StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder();
      for (int i = 0; i < enc.length; i++) {
        String h = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & enc[i]);
        hex.append((h.length() == 2) ? h : ("0" + h));
      }

This is what I have tried but I am not getting the desired result which would be the following string: "e81e26d88d62aba9ab55b632f25f117d"
My Code:
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

string user_password = "HELLOWORLD";
byte[] hashBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(user_password);
SHA1 sha1 = SHA1Managed.Create();
byte[] cryptPassword = sha1.ComputeHash(hashBytes);
user_password = Encoding.Default.GetString(cryptPassword);

StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < cryptPassword.Length; i++)
{

    // Store integer 182
    int intValue = cryptPassword[i];
    // Convert integer 182 as a hex in a string variable
    string hexValue = intValue.ToString("X");
    // Convert the hex string back to the number
    int intAgain = int.Parse(hexValue, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);

    hex.Append((intAgain.ToString().Length == 2) ? intAgain : ("0" + intAgain.ToString()));
}

Console.WriteLine("pass: " + hex.ToString());

Does anyone know the answer?

A: Main issue is you are using SHA1 function instead of MD5. Also Im not sure why you are looping over the password length. Every MD5 hash will be the same length regardless of input size.
using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

string user_password = "HELLOWORLD";
byte[] hashBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(user_password);
var md5 = MD5.Create();
var hash = md5.ComputeHash(hashBytes);

StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder();
foreach (byte b in hash)
    hex.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
Console.WriteLine("pass: " + hex);
return ;

The Flying Torpedo is a 1916 American silent drama directed by John B. O'Brien and Christy Cabanne. It was produced by the Fine Arts Film Company and distributed by the Triangle Film Corporation. The film was written by John Emerson (who also stars), Robert M. Baker and D. W. Griffith (who was not credited). The film is now considered lost.

Plot

In 1921, novelist Winthrop Clavering (Emerson), known as "The World's Greatest Detective", befriends young inventor Bartholomew Thompson (Spottiswoode Aitken), who has just invented a radio controlled flying bomb (weaponry that would come to be known as guided missiles). Bartholomew is soon murdered by spies, described as "yellow men from the East" in the film, who steal his new invention. Clavering and his Swedish maid Hulda (Bessie Love) set out to find the spies who have been invading the United States. Clavering and Hulda catch up with spies just as they invade California and force them out of the country with the same device they stole.

Cast

Erich von Stroheim played a small supporting role as an evil German officer.

Production notes

John Emerson had previously portrayed the role of Winthrop Clavering in the play The Conspiracy, from December 1912 to March 1914.

The film was produced by D. W. Griffith's film production company Fine Arts and was distributed by Triangle Film Corporation. Griffith also helped to write the film's scenario with lead John Emerson and Robert Baker. Griffith was also responsible for casting a teenage Bessie Love in the film whom he discovered and cast in several of his films in 1915. Filming began in July 1915 under the working title The Scarlet Band. Christy Cabanne directed the battle sequences.

JKSSB issues clarification over Panchayat Account Assistant Viral video
Jammu, Nov 13: Jammu Kashmir Service Selection board issued a clarification regarding allegations of mismanagement during conduct of Panchayat Account Assistant exam. The statement issued by JKSSB said:
It is with reference to a video clip circulated on social media purportedly relating to one Examination Centre of Accounts Assistant(Panchayat) Examination conducted on 10.11.2020 by the J&K Services Selection Board(JKSSB). In the said video clip, some of the candidates are seen moving outside the rooms of the Examination Centre making allegations of irregularities/delayed providing of question paper to the candidates etc during the conduct of the examination. After verification, it was found that the said video clip pertained to the Examination Centre established in the Divya Hr. Sec School, Gadi Garh, District Jammu. Accordingly, the report was sought from the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Law and Order) Jammu who also was appointed as District Observer by the General Administration Department for the said examination.
2. Additional Deputy Commissioner, Jammu after verifying the matter, reported that:
a) Examination Centre at Divya Hr. Sec School, Gadi Garh, was allotted 700 candidates, out of which 550 appeared for the written test.
b) Observer, Centre Superintendent, Dy. Superintendent and 29 invigilators (appointed by randomization) were assigned duties in the 29 halls.
c) Reportedly, there was a slight delay in distribution of Question Paper/OMR sheets in one room (library) of the said Examination Centre by the invigilator namely Mr. Raghunath Sharma, Teacher Government Higher Secondary, Mawa Brahmna, who was looking disoriented and some of the candidates in this particular hall raised concern before the 12.00 Noon about delay in the distribution of OMR sheets as the Room invigilator Mr. Raghunath Sharma left the room without intimating the Centre Superintendent and also the Observer and upon this student came out of the room and material was not given to them.
d) Immediately, the Centre superintendent along with Observers and Dy. Superintendent rushed towards the said hall and convince the students and material was provided on time and examination was conducted smoothly by assigning the duty of the invigilator to the Dy. Superintendent. After that, the exam was conducted smoothly and 22 students of that Hall appeared in the examination satisfactorily.
e) Centre Observer reported that examination was conducted very smoothly and without any malpractice. She also reported that there was no hindrance / protest neither during the conduct of examination nor after conclusion of examination.
f) Deputy Chief Education officer has been asked to inquire into the reason and circumstances, the said invigilator left the room and furnish the report for taking necessary action against him under rules.
g) Additional Dy. Commissioner in his report has given the findings that "as per the reports from various sources examination at the said centres has been conducted smoothly and material has been provided to students well in time and this appears to be a mischief on the part of some candidate as afterthought consideration after fully participating in the said examination".
3. The Board after examining the report of Additional Deputy Commissioner Jammu has concluded that :
(a) The examination in the Divya Hr. Sec School, Gadi Garh, District Jammu has been conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
(b) The viral video has been circulated on Social Media by some unscrupulous persons with the malafide intention and ulterior motives.
(c) Legal action will be initiated against such persons involved in circulating the said video wherein baseless and motivated allegations have been made.
(d) Deputy Commissioner, Jammu has been requested to initiate necessary disciplinary action against the said invigilator who left his duties midway without informing the authorities, due to which whole incident occurred.
4. It would be relevant to add that a multilayered structure for supervision was established by Deputy Commissioner for each centre by appointing one Centre Observer and Centre Superintendent, in addition to Magistrate. Moreover, approximately 8000 invigilators were appointed by District Administration for the smooth conduct of examination. Besides, there was one General Observer appointed by the General Administration Department. In addition, one officer of the JKSSB was also monitoring the Examination Centres in each District. Moreover, flying squads were deployed by the Deputy Commissioners on the day of examination and continuous monitoring of examination was done by J&K SSB and District Administration by establishment of Control rooms at the Divisional and District Level respectively. Respective Deputy Commissioner's were also monitoring the conduct of examination.
5. Besides, it is important to note that the examination material was stored in Strong Rooms in the Districts under the supervision of respective Deputy Commissioners. On the day of examination, it was transported to the Examination Centre in the strict security cover under the supervision of Magistrate and Centre Observer, along with the Centre Superintendents.
6. It is also clarified that as per SOP about 15 minutes before the scheduled time OMR sheets are distributed amongst candidates for filling the particulars and reading instructions. Sealed question booklets are distributed amongst the candidates five minutes before the scheduled time of start of examination. Examination is commenced with the Centre Superintendent/invigilator announcing the start at the scheduled time.
7. The J&K Services Selection Board conducted OMR based Objective Type Written Examination for post of Accounts Assistant Panchayat in the department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj on 10-10-2020 from 12.00 noon to 2.00 pm.

Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, and Fritz Strassmann
In 1938 Hahn, Meitner, and Strassmann became the first to recognize that the uranium atom, when bombarded by neutrons, actually split. Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944.
Chemistry and physics overlap at the level where investigations of the smallest particles of matter are carried out. Therefore, it was appropriate that Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, and Fritz Strassmann teamed up to combine their expertise in both fields.
Hahn's Early Career
With doctorate in hand from the University of Marburg in Germany, Hahn (1879–1968) intended to make a career as an industrial chemist with a company with international business connections. He traveled to England to improve his English-language skills and found a job as an assistant in William Ramsay's laboratory at University College, London. Hahn quickly demonstrated his great skill as an experimentalist by isolating radioactive thorium. After working with Ernest Rutherford in Montreal, he joined Emil Fischer's institute at the University of Berlin, where he rose through the faculty ranks.

Hahn went in search of a collaborator with whom to pursue studies in experimental radioactivity and teamed up with Meitner (1878–1968). She had come to Berlin to attend Max Planck's lectures on theoretical physics after receiving her doctorate in physics from the University of Vienna in 1905—the second doctorate in science from that university granted to a woman. In the first year of the Hahn–Meitner partnership they had to work in a remodeled carpenter's shop because the university did not yet accept women on an official basis.
In 1912 their research group was relocated to the new Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft, where Fritz Haber was head of the physical chemistry institute, Hahn was head of the radioactivity institute, and from 1918 Meitner was head of the radioactivity institute's physics department. During World War I, Hahn served in the German gas warfare service headed by Haber, and Meitner volunteered as an X-ray nurse for the Austrian army.
Studies in Radioactivity

The discovery of the neutron by James Chadwick in 1932 gave new impetus to radioactivity studies because this uncharged atomic particle could penetrate the secrets of the atomic nucleus more successfully. Meitner, Hahn, and another chemist, Strassmann (1902–1980), who had worked with the partners since 1929, were deeply involved in identifying the products of neutron bombardment of uranium and their decay patterns. It was generally expected that elements close in atomic number—quite possibly elements with higher atomic numbers than uranium—would be produced.
Nuclear Fission Announced
In 1938 Meitner had to leave Berlin because the Nazis were closing in on all people of Jewish ancestry. She soon found a congenial setting for her research at the Nobel Institute in Stockholm. Her nephew, the physicist Otto Frisch, was located at Niels Bohr's institute in Copenhagen. Meanwhile, Hahn and Strassmann found that they had unexpectedly produced barium, a much lighter element than uranium, and they reported this news to Meitner. She and her nephew worked out the physics calculations of the phenomenon based on Bohr's "droplet" model of the nucleus and clearly stated that nuclear fission of uranium had occurred. It was quickly recognized that barium was among the stable isotopes that were the products of the radioactive decay of transuranic elements that must have been initially formed after neutron bombardment of uranium. News of the splitting of the atom and its awesome possibilities was brought by Bohr to scientists in the United States and ultimately resulted in the Manhattan Project.

Later Nuclear Research
Hahn, Meitner, and Strassmann were not engaged in nuclear-weapons research during World War II. At the end of the war Hahn was astonished to hear that he had won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944 and that nuclear bombs had been developed from his basic discovery. Later, as director of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (the postwar successor to the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft), he spoke vigorously against the misuse of atomic energy. Meitner—who many thought should have received the Nobel Prize with Hahn—continued to do nuclear research in Sweden and then England. Strassmann nurtured the study of nuclear chemistry in Mainz, Germany.
