3 people shot, including 2 killed in Kenosha, Wisconsin protests
KENOSHA, Wis. - Two people were shot to death and another was wounded during a third night of protests in Kenosha over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, and authorities Wednesday hunted for a possible vigilante seen on cellphone video opening fire in the middle of the street with a rifle.
The shootings were reported at about 11:45 p.m. in an area where protests have taken place, Kenosha police Lt. Joseph Nosalik said in a news release. They happened after police drove away protesters from in front of a courthouse that had been the site of the main clashes between protesters and authorities.
Cellphone video of at least two of the shootings that was posted online shows what appears to be a white man with a semi-automatic rifle jogging down the middle of a street as a crowd and some police officers follow him. Someone in the crowd can be heard asking "What did he do?" and another person responds that the man had shot someone.
The man with the gun stumbles and falls, and as he's approached by people in the crowd, he fires three or four shots from the seated position, hitting at least two people, including one who falls over and another who stumbles away to frantic shouts of "Medic! Medic!"
With the crowd scattering, the shooter stands up and continues walking down the street as police cars arrive. The man puts up his hands and walks toward the squad cars, with someone in the crowd yelling at police that the man had just shot someone, but several of the cars drive past him toward the people who had been shot.
Protester Devin Scott told the Chicago Tribune that he witnessed one of the shootings.
"We were all chanting 'Black lives matter' at the gas station and then we heard, boom, boom, and I told my friend, that's not fireworks," said Scott, 19. "And then this guy with this huge gun runs by us in the middle of the street and people are yelling, 'He shot someone! He shot someone!' And everyone is trying to fight the guy, chasing him and then he started shooting again."
"I was cradling him in my arms. I was trying to keep this kid alive and he wasn't moving or nothing. He was just laying there," Scott said. "I didn't know what to do and then this woman starts performing CPR. There was no pulse. I don't think he made it."
The shooting victims have not been identified.
At a news conference earlier Tuesday, Ben Crump, the lawyer for Blake's family, said Blake was shot multiple times by police on Sunday and that it would "take a miracle" for him to walk again. He called for the officer who opened fire to be arrested and for the others who were involved to lose their jobs.
The shooting of Blake — apparently while three of his children looked on — was captured on cellphone video and ignited new protests over racial injustice in several cities, coming just three months after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police touched off a wider reckoning on race.
Earlier Tuesday, Blake's father spoke alongside other family members and lawyers, telling reporters that police shot his son "seven times, seven times, like he didn't matter."
"But my son matters. He's a human being and he matters," said Blake's father, who is also named Jacob Blake.
The 29-year-old was in surgery Tuesday, said attorney Ben Crump, adding that the bullets severed Blake's spinal cord and shattered his vertebrae. Another attorney said there was also severe damage to organs.
"It's going to take a miracle for Jacob Blake Jr. to ever walk again," Crump said.
When asked what the police response to the family has been, the family's lawyer said, "At this point, it seems to be a one-way street. They only want to get information from the family and the friends who were there that day. But they have offered this family no answers whatsoever."
Blake's mother, Julia Jackson, told CBS "This Morning" in an interview that aired Wednesday that she feels like she's in a "bad dream" and that it felt "unreal" that her son's name has been added to the list of Black people who were shot by police.
"Never in a million years did I think we would be here in this place. Him being alive is just a miracle in itself."
The family's legal team plans to file a lawsuit against the police department over the shooting. Police have said little about what happened, other than that they were responding to a domestic dispute. The officers involved have not been named. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating.
Police fired tear gas for a third night Tuesday to disperse protesters who had gathered outside Kenosha's courthouse, where some shook a protective fence and threw water bottles and fireworks at officers lined up behind it. Police then used armored vehicles and officers with shields pushed back the crowd when protesters ignored warnings to leave a nearby park.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers had called for calm Tuesday, while also declaring a state of emergency under which he doubled the National Guard deployment in Kenosha from 125 to 250. The night before crowds destroyed dozens of buildings and set more than 30 fires in the city's downtown.
"We cannot allow the cycle of systemic racism and injustice to continue," said Evers, who is facing mounting pressure from Republicans over his handling of the unrest. "We also cannot continue going down this path of damage and destruction."
Three of the younger Blake's sons — aged 3, 5 and 8 — were in the car at the time of the shooting, Crump said. It was the 8-year-old's birthday, he added.
The man who said he made the cellphone video of the shooting, 22-year-old Raysean White, said he saw Blake scuffling with three officers and heard them yell, "Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" before the gunfire erupted. He said he didn't see a knife in Blake's hands.
In the footage, Blake walks from the sidewalk around the front of his SUV to his driver-side door as officers follow him with their guns drawn and shout at him. As Blake opens the door and leans into the SUV, an officer grabs his shirt from behind and opens fire. Seven shots can be heard, though it isn't clear how many struck Blake or how many officers fired.
Blake's father told the Chicago Sun-Times that his son had eight holes in his body.
Anger over the shooting has spilled into the streets of Kenosha and other cities, including Los Angeles, Wisconsin's capital of Madison and in Minneapolis, the epicenter of the Black Lives Matter movement this summer following Floyd's death.
Hundreds of people again defied curfew Tuesday in Kenosha, where destruction marred protests the previous night as fires were set and businesses vandalized. There were 34 fires associated with that unrest, with 30 businesses destroyed or damaged along with an unknown number of residences, Kenosha Fire Chief Charles Leipzig told the Kenosha News.
"Nobody deserves this," said Pat Oertle, owner of Computer Adventure, surveying the damage on Tuesday. Computers were stolen, and the store was "destroyed," she said.
"This accomplishes nothing," Oertle said. "This is not justice that they're looking for."
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, both Republicans, called on the governor to do more to quell the unrest. Steil said he would request federal assistance if necessary.
Evers continued to call for protesters to be peaceful.
"Please do not allow the actions of a few distract us from the work we must do together to demand justice, equity, and accountability," he said.
Blake's family also called for calm.
"I really ask you and encourage everyone in Wisconsin and abroad to take a moment and examine your hearts," Blake's mother said. "Do Jacob justice on this level and examine your hearts. ... As I pray for my son's healing physically, emotionally and spiritually, I also have been praying even before this for the healing of our country."

required us to implement a more flexible routing solution. As RAS, PPTP, L2TP and VPN Client connections are not designed to be accessed from a network, you have to use a NAT capable solution.
In this article I will show how to manage all parts of the necessary configuration tasks.
This solution requires that the VPN client or dial-out software creates either a pseudo-dynamic dial-out interface, as with PPTP, L2TP and ISDN, or a static network interface (e.g. Cisco VPN Client). Additionally, the LAN has to stay functional while connected - this might be an obstacle, as some VPN clients cut off network access as long as the connection is open (no-split-tunneling policy).
The client or connection can only be routed starting from XP onwards, as we need a NAT capable Remote and RAS (RRAS) service. Client OS like XP and Vista do not support a GUI for RRAS administration, only server OS do (Windows 2003, 2008) - so you have to manage them with netsh.
The solution was implemented on XP for OpenVPN Clients, and on W2003 for ISDN, PPTP, L2TP, and VPN clients from Cisco and Phion. The configuration methods for XP can be used the same way with W2003.
Since the lack of RRAS GUI on XP and Vista the configuration of a dial-out connection on that OS (using netsh) can be painful, I do not recommend that.
The following batch script is needed to allow for routing on client XP. You will have to do this only once for the routing computer. On server OS, you can enable routing in the RRAS properties using the GUI instead (the script below works, too).
Next step is to implement the interface. For dial-out connections this is the connection name.
to list all available interfaces. Some interfaces like Cisco VPN are not visible until you have a connection, so you might have to start that connection first.
Let's presume it is a Cisco VPN Client already installed; set the network information on the beginning accordingly.

Jin Yong's most contested love triangle, are you #TeamZhaoMin or #TeamZhouZhiruo ?
Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber the ninth 倚天屠龙记 airs two episodes every Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays on February 27th.
The classic wuxia novel is known for propelling the theory that the Ming dynasty was founded by and named after the Manicheist Ming sect.
Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber the ninth announced its release date of February 27th with a new trailer and a few posters. The series stars Zeng Shunxi, Chen Yuqi, and Zhu Xudan in a fight between three religions and three countries.
Both of the trailers have actually looked interesting to me, and given that there haven't been a true-to-the-books version made yet, it'll be interesting to see director Jeffrey Chiang's take on it given his success with the 2017 version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes.
The background of the poster looks just like the book covers of the Sanlian version!
The trailer for Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber the ninth but I believe the first adaptation of the latest edition of the novel actually looks super solid. The scenery, costumes, and choreograph all look natural, as does Zeng Shunxi's acting minus one scene. At least three of the four female leads look dead inside every single scene, though.
Zeng Shunxi as Zhang Wuji the 9th, at your service.
Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber the 9th 倚天屠龙记 has released its first set of stills. I'd always thought this is the perfect Jin Yong novel to adapt for melodramas with idol actors. Glad someone finally took the advice and went for it. The cast is at least pretty and young , and I already like this Zhou Zhiruo more than the last one.
The new version of Heavenly Sword Dragon Slaying Sabre 倚天屠龙记, and is helmed by Jeffrey Chiang, the director of last year's well-received Legend of the Condor Heroes 2017 (my first reaction to the news was that Deng Chao's version was only a couple of years ago, until I remembered it aired way back in 2009).
Zeng Shunxi has been cast as male lead Zhang Wuji, though he clearly lacks the skills to bring the character to life. I have higher hopes for Tang Yan's new employee Chen Yuqi, who was serviceable in Princess Weiyoung.
Two teasers have been released for Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like Frost, the upcoming fantasy drama that revolves around the romance between two deities, played by Yang Zi (Legend of the Dragon Pearl) and Deng Lun (Ode to Joy 2).
I cannot express how much I love the maid's dress behind Kathy Chow in The Empress of China. Everything from the design to the patterns to the colors are wonderful replicas of Tang-dynasty paintings. Much better than the random gold confetti dangling around Kathy Chow. More photos of Kathy Chow, Zhang Xinyu, and their maids below the cut.


With less than 10 days to Christmas, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Holidays. May you have a very festive time of year. Here's a special video I made just for you. PRESS PLAY!
CUTE! Love it! Joy to you this Christmas season!

AVON —The Avon Town Moratorium officially expires June 28.
All five Avon Town Board members have decided that the Avon Town Moratorium on hydrofracking should be allowed to expire Friday June 28.
Genesee Local Offers
"I'm not in favor of extending the moratorium, there are a lot of people researching themselves, I feel that the moratorium is no longer needed," said David LeFeber, Avon Town Supervisor.
Attorney for the Town of Avon Jim Campbell explained at the Avon Town Board Meeting Thursday that the committee has done a great job pinpointing the good and the bad points of hydrofracking.
"I commend the committee for the job they have done," said Richard Steen, Councilman for the Avon Town Board. "However we shouldn't spend more money on the research."
Members of the Avon Town Moratorium were in attendance at Thursday's meeting.
"You, the town board, are the only protection the town of Avon has," said Chuck Morgan,member of the Avon Town Moratorium.
"We don't need the moratorium, we need to adjust our comprehensive plan," said Tom Mairs, Deputy Supervisor for the Town of Avon.
Opinions and rebuttals went back and forth throughout the course of the meeting but by the end of the meeting the matter was settled, the Avon Town Moratorium will expire June 28, and the Avon Town Board will venture on without them.

At the 2018 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo, NAR members gained insights into financial consumer protection, net neutrality challenges, and sexual harassment liability in housing, among other issues on the first day of sessions.
NAR President Elizabeth Mendenhall and Mick Mulvaney listen to an audience question during the forum.
Mick Mulvaney, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, dispelled the perception that he's trying to get the federal government out of the business of protecting consumers, as critics have charged. Rather, he said at a regulatory forum on Tuesday at the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo that he's directing the agency to do what it's been statutorily empowered to do without stretching the agency's mandate. "Many bureau employees were convinced I was trying to burn the building down," said Mulvaney, adding "We're just trying to get back to basics." Read more about Mulvaney's remarks at the forum.
Technology doesn't often make it to the top of the list of action items at the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo. But net neutrality is one of four major talking points for members meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week—only the second time that the technology policy issue has been elevated to such a high level for this week's Hill visits.
NAR senior policy representative Melanie Wyne addressing the Federal Technology Policy Committee.
NAR members will be talking to their congressional representatives about two opportunities to reverse the FCC decision: the Senate's congressional review act and, in the House, Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.)'s plan to introduce the 21st Century Internet Act. Learn more about the probability of changes to net neutrality rules and other tech topics discussed by the committee, including the federal government's workshop to examine competition in the real estate industry.
The issue of sexual harassment in housing is gaining more visibility as the result of a recent initiative by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice. While public awareness about quid pro quo and hostile environment claims is more established in the context of employment law, the federal government is increasing consumer outreach in regard to housing. Read more about the efforts to improve awareness.
William B. "Brock" Long, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said most homeowners do not carry any type of emergency insurance, whether flood, fire, or earthquake, and instead rely too much on FEMA recovery assistance. "Insurance is your first line of defense, not FEMA," he said. As an example, Long noted that during historic flooding in Houston last year, between 800,000 and 1 million homes were impacted, 80 percent of which were not insured.
Long told attendees that the National Flood Insurance Program is tens of billions of dollars in debt because the country has seen a dramatic escalation in large-scale natural disasters. He said FEMA is currently dealing with 695 open disasters, also known as events. "Last year, we had a new event every three days," he said.
Long asked REALTORS® to press the importance of reforming and reauthorizing federal flood insurance with their congressional representatives this week. He also asked REALTORS® to help educate consumers about the need to insure their homes properly and to acquire the financial literacy necessary to improve their credit scores and free up money for the insurance they may need. "I'm asking for a partnership all across the U.S. for REALTORS® to work with FEMA," he said. "The system will break again with another big event." Learn more about the National Flood Insurance Program.
Looking ahead, she said she hopes higher interest rates will light a fire under consumers and businesses to start spending now—whether it's business investment or buying a house—before rates rise higher.
When it comes to education, your agents may ask, "What's in it for me?" But professionalism benefits everyone in the industry. During the Idea Exchange Council for Brokers on Tuesday, industry powerhouses discussed ways to encourage professionalism and build knowledge among agents, offering tips about what's worked at their companies. Takeaways include: On-the-job mentoring is still the most desirable way for agents to build skills, and incorporating fun can be your most valuable tool. Learn more about the connection between fun and professionalism.

Black Ferns Sevens awarded Lonsdale Cup
allblacks.com 04 Dec 2018
New Zealand Rugby is today celebrating a historic and prestigious accolade with the Black Ferns Sevens becoming the first rugby team to be awarded the Lonsdale Cup.
Presented last night at the New Zealand Olympic Gala Dinner, the Black Ferns Sevens were acknowledged for a stellar 2018 among their Olympic and Commonwelath Games peers.
The Black Ferns Sevens capped off a ground breaking 2018 campaign by winning their fifth World Series tournament in Dubai last weekend, along with a historic Commonwealth Games Gold in April, and a World Cup Sevens title in July.
New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Tew said the recognition was thoroughly deserved.
"On behalf of New Zealand Rugby I would like to congratulate the Black Ferns Sevens on receiving this significant award. This is a team that demonstrates our rugby values in everything they do on and off the field and it is fantastic to see that recognised by the New Zealand Olympic Committee."
The Lonsdale Cup was first awarded in 1961, with Sir Murray Halberg the inaugural recipient. Since then it has been won by a host New Zealand's top athletes including Dame Valerie Adams, Lisa Carrington, Sir John Walker, Barbara Kendall and Sir Peter Snell.


A Rhema Ministries pastor in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe is currently enmeshed in an adultery scandal with his lover after he allegedly impregnated and forced her to terminate it.
According to H-Metro, Pastor Jonah Marecha is reported to have impregnated one Hannah, a member of his church who he promised to marry but later asked her to terminate the six-weeks old pregnancy.
Pastor Marecha was said to have secretly met a gynaecologist identified as Ashton Goredema and paid him the sum of $30 as a fee for inquiries concerning the pregnancy termination.
Speaking to H-Metro, Hannah said the overall leader of the church, Prophet Tinashe Mugonda, threatened to kill her if she dared to expose Marecha.
The accused pastor refused to comment on the allegation but H-Metro claims they have a WhatsApp conversation between Jonah and Hannah.
Confirming the allegations, Prophet Mugonda, the head pastor of the church said the issue was brought before him but described the accused pastor as only a member of the church as well as Hannah.
"This issue was brought to my attention, but I could not handle it to its fullest since we only met the two at interdenominational prayer meetings only. As for Jonah and Hannah visiting the doctor for abortion that I am aware of, Jonah is only a church member and not a pastor as what Hannah wants people to believe. The issue is being handled at family level as far as I know." said Prophet Mugonda.
"I am a gynecologist, but I never facilitated Hannah's abortion, I do not know her and neither do I know Jonah whom is said to have paid me," said Dr. Goredema.
"I only handle issues that come through the hospital, not the back door," he added.

Inclusion Or Exclusion? Bhopal To Have Separate Toilets For Transgender People
Published on 9 September, 2016 at 3:14 pm By Eva Young
There's been a lot of talk going on about the Transgender Bathroom Debate. Some people in conservative America seem convinced that it's "dangerous" to have transgender people using bathrooms meant for either "men" or "women". Some have even gone so far as to make ridiculous claims that transgender people might attack children inside said bathrooms.
Erm, it's a bathroom! Pick a stall, do your business, and get on with it! It's that simple! Or at least that's how simple it would be. In a sane world. Anyway, this is what sane people have to say about this non-issue that's being blown way out of proportion:
o0bg
Now it looks like the transgender bathroom debate has finally made its way to India. The mayor of the Bhopal Municipal Corporation, Alok Sharma, announced yesterday,
Kinnars (as the transgender community is referred to) have to struggle for things that we take for granted. I have spent my childhood in the walled city and I am aware of their problems. Constructing a separate toilet for them also concurs with the directives of the Supreme Court… BMC will construct separate public toilets for the transgender community, beginning in areas where it is most needed, including near hospitals. Depending on the response to these toilets a decision will be made to create more such spaces in the future.
Top Most Characters of Mahabharata
The hijra community has never had it good in India. Relegated to the sidelines, they've learned how to make do with what little they have. They've learned to live on the periphery of our world. In recent times, however, the transgender community has received some respite in that they have been recognized as the third gender by the Supreme Court of India and are being given employment opportunities, and, by extension, access to a life of dignity, that was heretofore denied them.
entecity
In a country where far too many people still do not have access to basic sanitation and sewage disposal needs; constructing bathrooms for the transgender community seems somewhat suspicious. Is this a move to include the transgender population into mainstream society? Or is it yet another way to tell them that they don't belong? Could these bathrooms that are being presented as an altruistic thing end up becoming the new arenas where a marginalized community could be abused – physically, and more frighteningly, sexually?
The jury's still out on the rationale/agenda behind the construction of separate transgender bathrooms, and on whether this idea will work for, or against, the transgender community. For now, the powers-that-be are claiming it's a humane idea being executed in good faith. Here's hoping!

Q: Sequence of analytic functions Let $G,H$ be disjoint open subsets of $\mathbb{C}$ and $f_n:G\to H$ be analytic functions. If $f_n(z)\to f(z)$ for all $z\in G$, then prove that $f$ is analytic and $f(G)\subset H$. Any help is appreciated.

A: The claim that $f(G) \subset H$ is not true in general, it is easy to make up examples where $(f_n)$ converges to a constant in $\partial H$. For the other (true) part of the claim, you need to show that the convergence is not only pointwise, but locally uniform. The crucial step here is to show that the family $(f_n)$ is normal, and the tool to do it is Montel's theorem, using that all $(f_n)$ omit all values in $G$. If you need more details, let me know.
Added details: Let $z_0 \in G$ be arbitrary. Then $g_n(z) = \frac{1}{f_n(z)-z_0}$ is analytic for all $n$, and the family $(g_n)$ is locally bounded, because each $f_n$ omits a fixed disk about $z_0$. So $(g_n)$ is a normal family, and then $f_n(z) = z_0 + \frac1{g_n(z)}$ is normal as well.

A: Let's the series expansion of $f_n$
$$
f_{n}(x)=\lim_{N\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^{N}a_k(n)x^k.
$$
A suficient condition is:
1) the convergence $f_n\to f$ is uniform,
2) exist $\lim_{t\to\infty}\lim_{N\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^{N}a_k(n)x^k$ and $\lim_{N\to \infty}\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{N}a_k(n)x^k$.
This result is a consequence of
Theorem. Let $\{ F_t ; t\in T\}$ be a family of functions $F_t : X \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ depending on a parameter t; let $\mathcal{B}_X$ be a base $X$ and $\mathcal{B}_{T}$ a base in $T$. If the family converges uniformly on $X$ over the base $\mathcal{B}_{T}$ to a function $F : X \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ and the limit $\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{T}} F_t(x)=A_t$ exists for each $t\in T$, the both repeated limits $\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{X}}(\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{T}}F_t(x))$ and $\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{T}}(\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{X}}F_t(x))$ exist and the equality
$$
\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{X}}(\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{T}}F_t(x))=\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{T}}(\lim_{\mathcal{B}_{X}}F_t(x))
$$
holds.
The proof can be found in books of Zorich ([Mathematical Analysis II][1] p. 381).

Q: Error when selecting colum names from table in MySQL information schema I am trying to get a list of the column names from a specific table in MySQL. I am running:
SELECT column_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = `test 2.2`
    AND table_schema = test

The database is called test and the table name is test 2.2 and the rest of the syntax looks correct. However I keep receiving the error

Error Code: 1054. Unknown column 'test 2.2' in 'where clause'

Is there another way that I can do what I want and/or how do I get around this error?

A: Object names (in this case: a table name) are stored in the information schema as string literals, so they should be queried with single quotes ('):
SELECT column_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'test 2.2' AND table_schema = 'test'
-- Here -----------^--------^--------------------^----^

A: Use quotes and not backticks for strings
SELECT column_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'test 2.2'
  AND table_schema = 'test'

A: SELECT column_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = "test 2.2"
    AND table_schema = "test"

Or, Why don't you just describe the table.
desc `test 2.2`;

Petr Cech is 36 and showed inconsistent form last season. Meanwhile, Arsenal's number 2, David Ospina has struggled to displace his teammate after several costly errors since arriving in 2014.
Ospina is now being tipped to leave after failing to establish himself and Leno could be the man to fill his void.
The Germany international has been one of the most reliable keepers in the Bundesliga in recent years and kept 10 clean sheets in his 33 league appearances last season.

Rehearsals gather pace ahead of Dramatic Society's Les Misérables production
Preparations are gathering pace ahead of Rydal Penrhos' eagerly anticipated Dramatic Society performance this spring.
The school's talented Performing Artists will take the stage for a depiction of the cult French novel Les Misérables, which will take place at the Memorial Hall over three nights from March 28-30, all of which will start at 7pm.
After a 60-strong cast was revealed late last year, those participating have been working hard during a series of rehearsals under the guidance of Head of Sixth Form Leah Crimes, Director of Music Pete Williams and teacher Richard Davies.
These have intensified since the start of the spring term, and in addition to in-school rehearsals, each member of the cast will also be honing their skills on stage at weekly sessions every Sunday from February 17.
Mr Williams, said: "We have been highly encouraged by the commitment show by the cast during what is an incredibly busy time here at Rydal Penrhos, and they are to be commended for their application in learning their lines and specific routines in relation to the performance.
"The level of Performing Arts talent myself, Leah and Richard work with is truly outstanding for those so young, and this is only going to get better as they become more comfortable with what they are doing ahead of what promises to be a sensational show."
Les Misérables is the longest running show in West End history, it has been seen by 70 million people worldwide in 51 countries and 22 languages.
Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Les Mis tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
Ticket information and where purchase will be released in the coming weeks.

We were most impressed the wonderful city of Calcutta - possibly one of the most attractive central urban areas in the country in terms of architecture, wide, un-choked roads and cultural aspects. But then again, it was designed by the British, so that stands to reason!
Two days was just enough time to get a good feel for this once leading city of India - there were so many historic, Raj-era buildings to see. And I loved the fact that Calcutta is a sort of Indian New York - the boulevards filled with its famous yellow Ambassador taxis - honking and vying for business.
Unlike in the centre of Mumbai (which I like to compare every other city to), there were few slum areas to be seen and hardly any pavement dwellers. Despite this, I understand that Calcutta (the capital of West Bengal and third most populous area in India) is actually one of the country's poorest cities. So I suspect that these areas are out of sight, further away from the centre.
We stayed at a very convenient hotel near the heart of the city - Hotel Casa Fortuna - which although not much to look at from the outside and being right next to a major road artery - was actually very nice indeed. Our (slightly small) room was nicely furnished, the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and the 'strictly' vegetarian food at the in-house restaurant was amazing. The service in the restaurant was also some of the best that we have experienced at any hotel in India. Highly recommended!
It was very easy to grab one of the fun Ambassador taxis from just outside of the hotel to any of the major sites. And once in the centre we were able to walk around much of the city unhindered.
Just after we arrived on the first day (after an Indigo flight direct from Mumbai) we went in search of food at the renowned and highly recommended Flury's on Park Street. Unfortunately we were too late for one of their famous English breakfasts, so I ordered a lasagna and Mr Jules ate fish and chips. Both were absolutely vile! And the place was very faded and depressing that lunch time. I am afraid I would not recommend Flury's for anything other than one of their famous breakfasts!
We then asked a taxi driver to take us to the magnificent Victoria Memorial - a marvel of British Architecture and kind of a cross between Marble Arch and St Paul's Cathedral. We seemed to have run out of luck again, because when we got there, it was almost closing time and there was a massive queue of Indians trying to get in before the gates were shut. There were none of the usual queue jumping mechanisms for foreigners, so we decided to give it a miss that day. But as the Memorial would also be closed the next day - a Monday, we came back later that night for the Son-et-Lumiere display. To be honest, the display was a bit lame which was a shame (ha! that rhymes!) The boomingly loud slide show had evidently not been updated since the 1970s and the light display using the Memorial as a backdrop was not very inspiring. I would love to give some of these Indian museum curators a lesson in making the best of their amazing buildings!
Victoria Memorial - "sits with an old world sobriety at the heart of a busy city"
The rest of the next one and a half days were spent wondering around - mostly on foot as the temperature was relatively cool. After the disaster of Flury's, we had lunch at the fancy La Terrasse restaurant at the Oberoi and I had their very delicious Chicken Kiev. Both evening meals were taken back at the hotel restaurant after exhausting ourselves walking everywhere.
Here are the photos. Parts of the city are so timeless that they lend themselves well to black and white or faded photography (plus I was inspired by a friend's recent visit to Calcutta where she took loads of fab B&W photos...thanks Amy!).
The Writers Building which now houses the West Bengal Secretariat. The red brick is very typical in Calcutta.
St Andrew's Church - modelled on London's St Martin-in-the-Fields.
A reminder that we are still in India!
Inside St John's Church - one of Calcutta's oldest churches.
Memorial to the 123 persons who perished in the Black Hole of Calcutta. The story goes that 146 Englishmen were imprisoned overnight in a room measuring 5.5 by 4m on one of the hottest nights of the year. With only two small windows for ventilation, all but 23 had perished by the morning. No one knows where the Black Hole prison was actually located and it is possible that the story is a hoax.
Passenger boat on the Hooghly - I just love the name - HOOGHLY!
PS. The shopping scene in Calcutta is rubbish! I found a couple of some of the best shops and they aren't worth a mention here. Sorry Calcutta!
The reason being that I spent an amazing week away with Mr Jules - two days in Calcutta followed by four nights in Kaziranga National Park in Assam. Actually make that five nights - due to a 'bund' on the day we were due to fly back, we were unable to reach the airport due to some pretty violent roadside attacks on cars by political activists. We saw the car in front of us having its windows smashed in by nasty men throwing big rocks, so we turned back sharpish!
That aside, our time in the park was wonderful. We saw 17 out of a possible 35 species of mammal and over 120 out of a possible 500 species of bird. I know, quoting stats like that makes me officially a nerd.... yes, I know! I have to admit, I have become a bit of a twitcher since moving to India (much to the delight of birding Mr Jules and his parents) . But perhaps the effects will wear off in time....give it a chance.
I will come on to Calcutta in another post - this the most Raj-era of Indian cities. A very fine place.
Kaziranga is probably one of the lesser known National Parks in India for spotting tigers and other wildlife - Ranthambore, Bandhavgarth and Corbett being the most famous. But in fact there are still around 106 tigers lurking in the long grass here, so it's worth making the trek (three hours flight to Calcutta, one hour flight to Guwahati and then five hours drive from there to Kaziranga).
As there are only something like 1,200 Bengal Tigers left in the whole of India, if you see one, you have to treasure the moment. Unfortunately we only glimpsed one of these very endangered animals through binoculars from quite a considerable distance - I am not sure that such a sighting counts unless it is with the bare naked eye.
This was the glimpse of the Bengal Tiger that we got - better than nothing I suppose!
My David Attenborough moment - as we were driving along - this group of females with their one month old baby appeared on the road. They worked together to surround the baby and protect it from us, the perceived threat. They started making noises and walking towards us - flinging dirt - so we turned around and backed away.
Out of the birds we sighted, it was undoubtedly the Great Hornbill that caused the most delight. I was amazed to be able to take the picture below. We also saw several species of eagles, vultures and owls and dozens of other, colourful birds. We have referred to our various bird books and noted down the names if anyone is interested!
In all, we did seven safaris - six in a jeep and one on elephant back (one safari was on the day we turned back from the airport). Of course, the one on elephant back was amazing. We had to get up at 4.30 though, making BombayJules very grumpy. We pitched up at the embarkation area in the dark and as it gradually got lighter, we could see these massive dark shadows moving towards us. And then as the sun rose a bit more we could properly see the outlines of these magnificent beasts who had arrived to transport us through the early morning mist.
You can get this close up to a one horned rhino!
Our guide Somnath and his driver were marvellous - we had the same guys for all seven safaris. Somnath really knew his birds and was more eagle-eyed than the eagles we saw...spotting brown birds up against brown tree bark from quite a distance - shapes that just looked like smudges to me and which I still could not discern despite lengthy instructions to locate them!
Kaziranga has to be one of the least spoilt parks in the country. The place was not over wrought with jeeps ferrying about huge numbers of foreign tourists (although we did encounter one VERY annoying group of British birders, shame on them). If you want to spot a tiger, you have to sit and wait and watch patiently. There is no obvious grapevine where the guides ring around each other so that they can then rush you to the spot where the tiger is. I am sure that this would take away the charm of making a sighting - I would rather not see a tiger than clash with 300 other people in an attempt to do so.
The local people in Assam retain a real innocence and the village children delight in running up to you to say hello (actually they shout BYE-BYE!, BYE-BYE! whether you're coming or going which is so sweet!). Even better, you won't find a Kashmiri salesman (my pet hate) trying to flog you a crappy pashmina - and nobody puts their hand out for a hand-out.
But BombayJules style, I did still manage to eek out a retail opportunity! In the backwater of a tiny village mostly inhabited by tea plantation workers, our guide (at my request to track down some handicrafts) showed us a small, local outfit producing hand-loomed fabrics. Gorgeous silks and cottons - not as fine as you might find in Rajasthan but still with a certain rustic charm. I purchased a simple mulberry silk dupatta for a mere 250 Rs (GBP 3), a cotton sari type piece of fabric (which looks a bit like a pub tea-towel to be honest) for 150 Rs (GBP 2) and another, thicker hand-loomed silk scarf - which was more realistically priced at 1,500 Rs (GBP 20). Oh and Mr Jules bought himself a man-scarf, so charmed was he by this little money-making enterprise! Actually the enterprise is an NGO - and there to support local women who can sell their products in the shop and create a little financial independence for themselves.
Inside the handicraft shop - sniffed out by your very own BombayJules!
Our hotel was pretty decent. The Iora Retreat is Indian run but it was managed so efficiently that I thought it couldn't be. The Iora is on quite a large complex considering the basic rural nature of the area - with most facilities including a good sized swimming pool and spa. There are two restaurants, one serving standard Indian and Chinese fare, and another serving traditional Assamese recipes. It was a shame that I had bad stomach ache for the whole week caused by my malaria medication - as I totally lost my appetite. We therefore did not venture into the Assamese restaurant and I mostly survived the week on a diet of plain fried rice. And there weren't even any mosquitoes around in the end! Our room was much bigger than standard and well furnished with a nice big balcony overlooking beautifully kept gardens. The service in the hotel was exemplary - especially in the restaurant, the room-service and housekeeping. And for about forty five quid a night, not bad value!
This holiday was a bit of a treat for Mr Jules who is an avid nature-lover and in fact it was probably my most favourite get-away after the Ambassador Car Rally that we did last October. We are even thinking of going back - to see if the tigers will come out properly next time!
This baby elephant followed us on our elephant safari and even came up to sniff us when we got off. Too cute!
This is the elephant we rode on. We forgot to take a photo with us on it!
Pretty exciting scene as the rhino starts to traverse the road in front of us.
School kids on safari (of course too many kids in the jeep and no seat belts!
One for my groups series. These are some of the many armed parked rangers who constantly battle poachers.
Poachers who kill rhinos for their horns, elephants for their tusks and Bengal Tigers in the name of Chinese medicine. Complete heroes in my mind - after night falls, they roam the park seeking out men who are armed with Russian AK47s - with only vintage rifles left over from WW2 to protect the animals.
A very French scene in the middle of Kaziranga!
These kids were too cute for words!

Q: Android: how to prevent foucs change while press navigation key? For some special reason, I have to manage focus all by myself.
In emulator, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN and UP were assigned to move focus. To get things right, I prototyped like below
public class Button extends android.widget.Button {

public Button(Context context) {
    super(context);
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (isPreventSystemBehavior(keyCode)) {

        return true;
    }

    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

@Override
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (isPreventSystemBehavior(keyCode)) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onKeyUp(keyCode, event);
}

private boolean isPreventSystemBehavior(int keyCode) {
    switch (keyCode) {
    case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN:
    case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_UP:
    case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT:
    case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT:
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}
}

It worked. But for EditText case, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT/RIGHT shouldn't be stopped. Then I have to get every view/widget to implement their own onKeyDown/Up, which is tedious.
Is there any easier way to do this?
Thanks.

A: After checked out source code, finally I ended up with following solution, really simple,
@Override
public boolean executeKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
    return true;
}

Simply overrode ScrollView::executeKeyEvent and return true

Hard Out Here: Lily Allen's clothing line goes into liquidation
It's been an eventful few weeks for Lily Allen. First she released her comeback single and music video to a somewhat controversial reception (although Team GLAMOUR were fans), and now the clothing label she founded with her sister has been forced into liquidation.
Lucy In Disguise LLP − which Allen founded with her sister Sarah Owen in 2010 after announcing her decision to leave the music industry and focus on fashion and raising her family with husband Sam Cooper − moved into liquidation last month after the brand's backer Aurora Fashions claimed it was forced to take legal action after the label failed to pay back a debt of £100,000 in sufficient time.
PA Photos
A report published by the Mail Online on Sunday also revealed Lucy In Disguise still owed Aurora (who also own high street stores Oasis and Warehouse) £12,000.
Originally starting out as a vintage hire store, Lucy In Disguise has had a tumultuous history, from the trials and tribulations of opening as documented in the Channel 4 show Riches To Rags, to their Covent Garden shop closing in 2011, to Lily bowing out of the business to have her second child two years ago.
Despite the ready-to-wear line moving into liquidation, the store is currently still trading in Soho and hosted a Christmas press preview just last week.
"We are very much still trading," Owen told Vogue this morning. "It's an exciting time for us and we have a loyal customer base that we want to reassure - we are still in full swing. We specialise in party dresses, so Christmas is an important time of year for us."

Watch a documentary about the festivalgoers trapped in Panama due to COVID-19 lockdowns
Randall Colburn
Screenshot: Vice UK (YouTube)
Unlucky souls around the world are trapped far from home due to the COVID-19 crisis and the global quarantines instituted to help contain the virus. For some, that means being locked in a stuffy hotel room. For others, it's being confined to an oceanfront beach some might describe as paradise.
The latter was certainly the case for those attending this year's Tribal Gathering Festival in Panama, which, just before the event wrapped up in mid-March, saw its grounds placed under quarantine. No matter; the festival is, according to the below Vice documentary, "a temporary paradise where people from Western cities could learn from indigenous communities how to rebalance society and live in symbiosis with the earth." What better way for those in attendance to put what they learned into practice than a mandated lockdown?
Who has the better Fyre Festival documentary, Netflix or Hulu?
Schadenfreude is a powerful emotion, but is it strong enough to get you to watch two documentaries…
That was certainly the attitude amongst several attendees in the first days of the lockdown, with a number of sun-dappled, sand-dusted souls promising to keep "hugging Mother Earth" and "reconnecting" with their "spiritual selves." One attendee encourages the quarantined masses to save the trees being eroded by "ocean acidification and rising seas." For many, though, the communal spirit quickly dissipated after they realized they'd either have to keep paying for food or start working for it. Throw in the local military, a lack of transparency, and a dwindling supply of hallucinogens and you've got a whole slew of hippies who'd really like to return to their London lofts.
Not entirely, though. The documentary reveals that some "true believers" are making the best of the beach, carving out a tribe of their own while running around naked with dogs. According to The Guardian, others are waiting for the British Embassy to get its shit together to help get them home, though efforts aren't going so hot. Recently, Panama's flight ban was extended until May 22 and sewage issues abound.
Watch the full documentary below.

Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) is a communication tool that has been used since the late 1970s by government organizations to deliver public information over short ranges by radio. Systems typically consist of a transmitter, antenna, recording device and power. Most modern systems use control software and wireless communication options that allow messages to be recorded or activated remotely. HAR is often used by departments of transportation, in particular, to deliver information about road conditions, construction and other traffic conditions.
Goal #3: To help members understand the current and potential future state of HAR technology practices.
The final document for this project presents a general background of HAR, a summary of HAR uses and value, as well as the state of HAR technology and operational practices. Information for this project was gathered through literature reviews and interviews with transportation agencies operating HAR and manufacturers of HAR systems.

People have a hard time understanding probabilistic and Bayesian reasoning, because we don't naturally think in probabilistic terms.
Algebraic groups, geometric invariant theory and boundedness
Prof B Martin, Dr E Meir
Group theory is the mathematical study of symmetry. Algebraic groups are certain groups of matrices with entries coming from a field such as the real numbers, the complex numbers or the integers modulo a prime.
Algebraic Methods in Musical Composition
Dr W Turner, Dr E Henke
Algebraic operations have been used as compositional tools for centuries. For example, the group theoretical operation of translation on the integers can be identified with the musical operation of transposition.
Applications of topology to soft matter physics
Dr M Grant, Dr R Hepworth
This project will address mathematical problems in the research field of algebraic topology, inspired by the theory of topological defects in soft materials.
Applied Algebraic Topology in Geometry
Dr R Hepworth, Dr M Grant
In recent years the techniques of algebraic topology have been applied to data analysis with great success, and the resulting subject areas of Applied Algebraic Topology and Topological Data Analysis have seen rapid growth.
Combinatorial Representation Theory: Partitions and Basic Sets
Dr J.B. Gramain, Dr W Turner
The representation theory of many families of finite groups can be presented in terms of combinatorial objects. The most famous example is the symmetric groups, where the irreducible complex representations are parametrized by partitions.
Equivariant homotopy and fusion systems
Dr A Libman, Prof R Levi
The p-local structure of a finite group G is given by the set of its p-subgroups and the information about how they are conjugated to each other.
Identifying finite simple groups from their fusion systems
Dr E Henke, Prof B Martin
Groups are fundamental algebraic structures closely related to describing and understanding symmetry. Every group is built up of building blocks which cannot be split up any further.
Topological methods for image recognition
Prof B Martin, Prof R Levi
The aim of this project is to develop mathematical algorithms for manipulating and classifying medical images.
Tropical matrix algebra and representations
Dr z Izhakian, Dr R Hepworth
Tropical matrices are matrices over the max-plus semiring - the real numbers equipped with the operations of maximum and summation.

Ray Payne has been confirmed as Northants Cricket's full-time chief executive after filling the post on an interim basis.
Payne took over the reins at Wantage Road following the sudden departure of David Smith last November.
As expected, the club's accounts show a hefty loss of £305,636 last year compared to a modest profit of £14,685 in 2013.
Board member Tim Robinson – who described the figures as "sobering" - told members that a similar deficit is likely for 2015 but outlined a five-year plan to improve the financial position – based on maximising non-match-day income from the County Ground's upgraded facilities.
The directors' report confirms that 'a challenging year' had been anticipated in 2014 with less money coming into the club from ECB following Graeme Swann's unexpected retirement and the absence of Monty Panesar from the England set-up.
But Payne reported on plans for a 'Jazz Club' and a possible jazz festival as a way of attracting more people to the ground.
Warren, club president Lord Naseby and other leading officials met recently with the new ECB hierarchy including CEO Tom Harrison – who spent two years on the County staff in the 1990s – and chairman Colin Graves.
"They were very supportive and it was apparent that we're not the only club facing financial challenges," said Warren.
"We asked them if they see a future with 18 first-class counties and a future for Northamptonshire – and they answered yes and yes.
Simon Ingram – a real estate partner in EMW Law who was involved in the development of Stadium:mk in Milton Keynes– was elected to join the board of directors.
Former County opener Nigel Felton, vice-chairman Ian Peck and Nick Wilson all retained their places.

The Economic Impact of AIDS in Africa
Alan W Whiteside 1
1Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division, University of Natal, South Africa
Received22 Jun 1999
Revised28 Jun 1999
The experience of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Africa is very different from that in the developed world. In the West, AIDS affects few people, and for those who are infected, it is an increasingly manageable illness. In Africa, huge numbers of people are being infected - mainly young adults through sexual intercourse. This is having a dramatic effect on key demographic indicators. Child mortality in some countries has doubled, while up to 25 years of life expectancy have been lost. The economic impact of AIDS is difficult to establish, but it is certainly leading to increased poverty in African families and communities. Development advances are being reversed, but the impact is incremental rather than catastrophic.

Learning enthusiast and biology nerd. Labster Marketing Intern
Labster Recommends: 11 of our favorite, must-watch TED Talks
TED Talks are a great way to hear new ideas, find inspiration, and challenge your perspective. But there are so many TED Talks available, and covering such a large variety of topics, that it can be hard to know where to start.
So, We asked the Labster team:
What is the most inspirational TED Talk you have ever seen?
Here's what they said:
1. To This Day…For the Bullied and Beautiful
"Shane Koyczan did the most inspiring TED Talk ever! It's about surviving as a kid and teenager, presented in the most poetic and beautiful way–if parts of this don't resonate, I don't know what does."
-Kathrine Lorentzen, HR Operations Lead
2. Dance vs. Powerpoint, a Modest Proposal
"If you are bored with yet another slide deck and searching for some inspiration on how to nail your presentation, then this is the talk for you to watch."
-Maria Paszkowska, Marketing Intern
3.The Danger of a Single Story
"This my absolute favorite TED Talk –and it's one of the 25 most watched TED Talks of all time! It's about exploring perspective and the dangers of generalization, and how there is no such thing as story with one explanation, or conflict with two distinct sides. It reminds me that there's always more to every story than what I see or hear about on the surface."
-Claire Johnson, Marketing Intern
4. How to Be Happy Every Day: It Will Change the World
"This is a great talk showing an example of how very small and simple ideas can evolve, scale up and make a positive impact all around the world. It shows how little it takes to change the world, and will make you feel grateful and encouraged to take action."
5.How Great Leaders Inspire Action
"I find it profoundly empowering to realize that what we do doesn't matter in itself. It's all about why we do it. That creates a powerful framework where there is no more boring or useless task/action: if we know for certain that it contributes to the bigger picture, it becomes uplifting. I think our simulations do that by always putting techniques into context. By embedding teaching within a story, it helps students connect with the true reason why they are learning science."
-Emma Durand, Head of Customer Success
6. How to Make Stress Your Friend
"It's 2018. The word 'stress' is ubiquitous, and it's what most of us blame for our day-to-day shortcomings. Consequently, we put a lot of effort into feeling less stressed (and end up feeling even more so if we fail). Kelly McGonigal proposes a different approach—what if we thought of stress as a good thing?"
-Andra Salcudean, Visual Brand Designer
7. The Surprising Science of Happiness
"Very awesome talk about how happiness is synthesized in your brain"
-Philip Wismer, Simulation Director
8. How to Stay Calm When You Know You'll be Stressed
"One of my favorite TED Talks along with the one below"
-Laura Wirpsza, Education Specialist for North America
9. The Puzzle of Motivation
"These two TED Talks are some of my favorites. I've learned about a lot more motivation and professional building tips for presentations by reading "Talk like TED". It highlights the top 10-15 most popular TED Talks."
10. Hans Rosling with BBC: The Joy of Stats
"Hans Rosling's exciting way of explaining how cool big data and statistics can be applied to explain the development of the world economy. His TED Talks are really cool and engaging, but the BBC video where he presents his data with a 'live' graph is just awesome (and sums up his TED Talks)!"
-Charlotte Frederikke Moltke, Customer Success Specialist
11. A Promising Test for Pancreatic Cancer…From a Teenager
"Jack shows what a huge impact the hundreds of thousands of young students globally can have in the world, as long as we give them the tools, quality education and the confidence and belief in their ability to change the world – even at a very young age like Jack. It's a huge motivator for myself every day and inspiration for our hard work at Labster in general."
-Michael Bodekaer, Co-founder and CTO
12. This Virtual Lab will Revolutionize Science Class
In case you haven't already seen it, Labster Co-founder Michael Bodekaer's TED Talk details the vision shared by everyone at Labster for the future of science education, and the mission to empower the next generation of science students that we work toward every day. It's definitely worth a watch.

How to run a learnathon


Bradford, London, Preston, Southampton and the West Midlands have been picked as the five city regions to run projects on the use of drones in public services.
Innovation foundation Nesta has named them as the choices in its Flying High Challenge, which it is running with national innovation agency Innovate UK, and is aimed at showing how drones could deal with urban issues and help to make the UK a global leader in the field.
The five cities will run projects over the next five months to explore the public attitudes, environmental impact, logistics and safety of drones operating in complex urban environments.
Nesta said that each of them has credentials in areas from aerospace to robotics and autonomous vehicles, and some have unique approaches to public engagement and local economic development.
Bradford has a varied landscape where densely populated areas adjoin large open spaces, and sees the potential for drones to help meet priorities such as job growth in the tech community, improved environmental management, better quality housing, energy efficiency and safe communities.
London has the busiest and most heavily regulated airspace in the UK, and the Nesta challenge will support conversations about if and how drones could be safely used in the city in the future. There has been some initial use in infrastructure inspections and assisting emergency services.
Preston has been active in looking at the potential since 2014, when the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) set up the Civic Drone Centre to bring together local authorities, communities and businesses to look at new solutions. Drones have already been used in building inspections, to support fire and rescue services and assist the Environment Agency. The city and UCLan are planning to look at areas including flood management, assisting police helicopters and upgrading road networks.
Southampton City Council has laid out a vision to accelerate the safe delivery of public services and commercial activity using drone systems, notably around the safety of its port, blue light services and offshore logistics. The council is working with the University of Southampton, which leads the CASCADE project on the use of drones in civil airspace. It is also working in the field with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, and within the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council's Future Cities project.
The West Midlands group is interested in use cases surrounding UK City of Culture 2021 and Commonwealth Games events.


The El Nino event that has been helping to dull the worst of the U.S. winter weather won't dissipate for several more months, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC), potentially bad news for anyone hoping for higher natural gas prices.
"Our forecast this month is similar to last month, with the expectation that the current El Nino will remain strong through the rest of the winter, gradually weakening during the spring before transitioning to ENSO-neutral conditions during the late spring or early summer," CPC Deputy Director Mike Halpert said Thursday.
The CPC's outlook for January, February and March calls for temperatures to average below normal in the Southeast and southern plains, with above-normal temperatures expected across the northern tier, portions of the West and Alaska.
The current El Nino event -- warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean near the equator -- arrived earlier this year, and has strengthened over time (see Daily GPI, Dec. 10, 2015; March 6, 2015).
Weather conditions, including El Nino and the Arctic Oscillation, helped keep the Northeast relatively warm in December and, despite a current chill dominating the region, are expected to do the same in coming weeks, Halpert said.
"Going forward though, to be honest, I'm expecting that after the next week or two the potential certainly exists...for a return to the mild conditions, or at least the more normal conditions in the Northeast...January, the way it's shaping up, could be more normal for winter, certainly not in the extreme at this point."
NOAA scientists have said El Nino was the leading climate factor influencing the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season, which ended Nov. 30 after a below-normal 11 named storms, four of which became hurricanes, two of them major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). But on Thursday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) named the first hurricane of 2016, months ahead of the official June 1 start of Atlantic hurricane season. Hurricane Alex is the first hurricane to form in the Atlantic in January since 1938.
The storm, which was about 590 miles south of the Azores Thursday morning, had 85 mph sustained winds and was moving north-northeast at 20 mph. It was expected to turn to the north over the next day or two and was not expected to approach North America, NHC said.
