Testor's decal sheet ready for cutting. Hindsight being what it is, I should have left more space around the colored blocks and used white paper instead of clear.
The SP's numbers were harder to remove, resulting in loss of the undercoat. Weathering will cover all this up.
Model train makers do not always produce your favorite motive power or rolling stock in a variety of road numbers. You may have a fleet of the same type of locomotive and in that fleet have duplicate road numbers. Or, you may have a merger situation on your pike, where some of your older locos once belonging to the fallen flag need ot be renumbered while they await repainting.
I have both situation on my road. I have two Lionel Vision Line 3GS21B Genset locos, both numbered 2701. I need one of those engines to get renumbered. I also have several older Southern Pacific locos that I want to have assume their proper UP numbers.
If you fear devaluing your locomotives, this article is not for you. We are going to remove the original road numbers from both of these Lionel diesels and replace them with decals produced using the Testor's Custom Decal System. To try this at home, you'll need Testor's decal paper and decal bonder. You'll also need nail polish remover or model paint thinner, cotton swabs, and a hobby knife equipped with a scraping blade.
A word of caution here. The decals being produced are water transfer decals. This means they are water activated and slide on wet off the back paper and on to the model. If you are going to try this with your electric trains, be sure to work on a clean dry surface with no electricity present. Also, take every precaution to protect the sensitive electronics inside today's model locomotives. When possible, remove the locomotive shell so you may work on it free of the motors and circuit boards. (If you jack up your loco, don't say I didn't warn you!) If using water-slide decals and making your own are not your thing, you can accomplish essentially the same task using dry transfer decals from manufacturers such as Woodland Scenics, which are available in a variety of scales.
Back to the drawing board on the SP - the key difference here is using white background decal paper instead of the clear. The colors are translucent on the clear paper.
Have you ever changed the numbers on your engines?
I began work on the Genset first. On this loco, I have two numbers on the sides of the cab to remove, and four numbers on the ends of the unit, two in front and two in back. I do not plan at this time to worry about the illuminated number boards on the cab or the long hood of the loco. This is a die cast locomotive body and is screwed together. I thought about removing the cab but instead decided to exercise extreme caution when working with the decals and removing the old numbers.
The original numbers are painted on. I used a small amount of model paint thinner on the end of a cotton swab to soften the top coat over the painted numbers. With the top coat softened, I noticed that the numbers were coming off nicely. I worked slowly and did not apply much pressure as I did not want to remove the yellow paint below. The less damage inflicted in this case the better. The Gensets are new locos in real life, and I want this number job to look decent. It took patience, but the numbers came off fairly clean. Any blemishes to the yellow can be easily covered up with the new decals or with the weathering that I will be applying to this engine in the near future. It took more work on one side of the cab than the other, but I was successful. The numbers on the ends were easy, as they were small.
I used the same process on the SP loco. On this one, the numbers were a little more difficult to remove, and I had to use a hobby knife with a scraper blade to get everything off. This resulted in a few nicks to the undercoat, but in this case, the engine will be weathered heavily, and since it is a fallen flag in pre-repaint condition, I wasn't too concerned. I set the locos aside and went to create my numbers.
I used Microsoft Word and the typeface "CityOf" which is the actual font used on today's Union Pacific fleet. I knew my cab numbers needed to be around 20 scale inches tall. This meant between 3/8 and 1/2 inches. This converted to roughly a 26-point font size. I say roughly as using this method, with Microsoft Word, I am not going to get an exact match. I want my numbers to be as close in size to the other Genset in my fleet so they do not look completely different when they are lashed together. Certain graphic design products will allow you to easily size your numbers to the exact 9/32 that you would want for 18-inch letters.
The water-slide decal paper is expensive, so when you are creating decals, make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck. I made a sheet with numbers for all the locos I was addressing - three total. I made sure that I had duplicates for everything that I needed just in case a decal failed. After printing the decals on your ink jet printer, you need to let the ink dry. This is typically a 10-20 minute process depending on your printer. I set mine aside for 30 minutes to be safe. After the ink is dry, apply a coat of the Testor's Decal Bonder to the sheet. Use a thin coat so as not to cause the ink to run or the decal to separate. The drying time for the bonding spray is suggested at 2 hours.
To apply the decals, cut them from the sheet coming as close to the decal as possible. Leave yourself a little space for the tip of tweezers to hold the decal. I like to leave a lip for the tweezers and I score the blank space between where I will place the tweezers and the decal to facilitate easy removal when I am ready to apply the decal to the model. Let the decal soak in room temperature water for 2-5 minutes, or until it starts to lift from the backing paper. When it is ready, place it in position on the model and slide it off the backing paper. Use a cotton swab to tap it down and position it, then let it dry thoroughly. After the decal has dried, I use Testor's decal setting solution to make sure it has conformed to all the nooks and crannies and to keep it protected. Once the model is weathered, it will have a clear coat of flat lacquer applied, this will add extra protection.
there are two types of the Testor's paper that you can use - clear and white. The clear paper produces a translucent background. If you are adding background color to your decals, you need to keep this in mind and use the white paper. I had picked up the clear, and know now that it is not going to cut it for the SP renumbers. When a railroad renumbers a loco before it gets a new coat of paint, it typically just paints out a box in the new road's colors and paints the new numbers in that box. This is the effect I wish to reproduce on the SP locos. Problem is, with the clear decals, I get a translucent orange background with my red numbers, and much of the original Southern Pacific Gray shows through. Back to Hobby Lobby for that one.
With some trial and error, you can create nice looking decals for your models and you can renumber your locos. By the way, a simple search in Google gave me a site with locomotive roster numbers for the Union Pacific. I was able to locate my two Southern Pacific diesels and find their new UP numbers. It adds a little touch of realism to the layout.

Following pushback from his Democratic colleagues and a deluge of public concerns, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is revising proposed Net neutrality regulations.
An FCC official told The Wall Street Journal the new draft would seek comment on whether paid priority deals should be banned and look to prohibit big broadband providers from forging agreements with content companies on terms that aren't offered to others. Wheeler also will make explicit that the agency will scrutinize agreements to ensure broadband providers don't unfairly place nonpaying companies' content at a disadvantage, the Journal said.
Last week, the FCC's two Democratic commissioners, Jessica Rosenworcel and Ajit Pai, called on the FCC to delay its May 15 meeting on Net neutrality. Some of the world's biggest Internet companies – including Google, Facebook and Yahoo – have expressed grave concerns with Wheeler's proposal.
The FCC was unsuccessful in its previous attempt to regulate the Internet after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. overturned the regulations. Any further attempts to regulate the Internet are expected to be challenged as well.
"We will not allow some companies to force users into a slow lane so that others with special privileges can have superior service," Wheeler declared.

Home / Featured • Home Page • Renewables / Court points to need for further land reform
Readers… it's been a long time. So long, in fact, there were times that I wondered if I would ever find my way back – but of course I was always going to. Especially when there is news to explore.
I know there are a good number of people who follow this blog, and my page on Facebook (I no longer do Twitter), in order to be kept up to speed with the Lewis wind farm fight.
There has been a big development in the Court of Session, with a hearing taking place virtually on July 2nd. As I was still in blog hibernation then, I didn't post anything about it. However, the Court has now issued its judgement – the news came yesterday morning (Wednesday, August 19th). Some of you will already know the outcome but there is an interesting twist to the story.
The Court of Session upheld the decision made by the Crofting Commission, and subsequently sustained by the Scottish Land Court, not to grant applications made by the four crofting townships under Section 50B of the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993.
However, in a surprising and unusual Postscript issued at the end of its judgement, the Court seemed to recognise the community's complaint about how the system was loaded against them and in favour of landowners in disputes over how best to develop common grazings.
The crofters issued a statement tonight in response to the ruling on their bid to develop community-owned turbines instead of the corporate-owned turbines preferred by the Stornoway Trust. (The Trust had given a lease to Lewis Wind Power, led by the French multinational EDF.)
In this statement, a spokesperson for the four crofting communities of Sandwick North Street, Sandwick East Street, Melbost and Branahuie and Aignish (representatives of these townships are pictured above) said: "While we are naturally disappointed at the decision to turn down our appeal, we warmly welcome the Court's perceptive and helpful comments which they added to the decision and we hope that they will be studied and acted upon by Members of the Scottish Parliament and by Government Ministers."
In its Decision the Court said: "As a postscript, it could be said that this case does identify general concerns about the development of what might be underused croft land, including common grazing. The needs of the crofting communities are not identical to those in the late Victorian era. As with other applications to the respondents [the Crofting Commission], it could be left to them to decide upon the appropriateness on the development, having regard to everyone's interests, in terms of the factors in section 58A(7) of the 1993 Act. That is not permitted under the current legislation. Such a development would require section 50B(2)(b) to be repealed."
The crofters spokesperson continued: "We agree wholeheartedly with that analysis and it is why we took the appeal to the Court in the first place. Whereas the Crofting Commission has a clear duty under the Act to reach its decisions on applications made to it by balancing the full range of affected interests, including the interests of the landowner, the estate, the crofting community and the wider public interest, applications made by crofting communities to develop their common grazings are uniquely subject to what our case has shown is an effective veto by the landowner alone, without consideration of the other interests.
"This veto is not right or sensible. Moreover, as it affects half a million hectares of common grazings in the Highlands and over 500 crofting communities, it is crippling the potential of crofting communities to use their common land for sustainable development such as community energy projects that we wanted to pursue.
"We believe the Court was absolutely right, therefore, to say that our case has highlighted a real problem in the Crofting Acts and we believe it is now up to the Scottish Parliament to revise the law to reform the law along the lines indicated by the Court. Section 50B(2) must be repealed to remove the landowner veto so that future development proposals that have come from crofting communities can be considered by the Commission in the normal, balanced way, taking proper account of the interests of all the parties involved.
"The law needs to be made fit for purpose for the economic and social needs of the 21st century, not the Victorian attitudes and priorities of a bygone era. This simple reform could radically transform the economic potential of our Highland communities and in the coming weeks we will be writing to MSPs to inform them of the issue and to ask for their help."
So that is where we are. The fact the case has flushed out such a profound problem with crofters' rights to develop their own grazings is to be welcomed. It seems like Section 50B wasn't worth the paper it was written on, so it will be interesting to see whether law reform follows. It surely should.
In terms of turbines, Lewis Wind Power and EDF still have challenges to overcome, like their Section 19A legal application for permission, which has attracted a lot of objections, and their current lack of a subsidy under the CfD scheme, but the way is a bit clearer for them.
Tonight, I want to thank you all for the support you have given to the crofters throughout their campaign. It was very much appreciated. They always knew they had community support.
It's been a good story to write, too. Thanks for following it.

Thank you for the update on this issue. It should now be incumbent upon the MSPs for Na h-Eileanan Siar and the crofting areas on the mainland to make moves in the Scottish Parliament to have Section 50B repealed. It is incomprehensible, viewed in the spirit of the 1886 Napier Commission Report, that such a veto was awarded to the landowner in 1993 Act.
Angus Macleod: Posted August 21, 2020 at 7:38 am
Well said, it looks as if the 1993 section 50b is a backward step from what our forefathers had fought for in the 1886 crofting act.

Biography – DUPUY, JEAN-BAPTISTE – Volume X (1871-1880) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
DUPUY, JEAN-BAPTISTE, Catholic priest, editor, and educator; b. 15 Sept. 1804 at Contrecœur (Verchères County), L.C., son of Joseph Dupuy, militia captain, and Françoise Richard; d. 13 Oct. 1879 at Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, Que.
While continuing his studies at the college of Montreal, Jean-Baptiste Dupuy taught there from 1829 to 1832. He was ordained priest on 2 Sept. 1832, and was first a curate in different parishes for about four years. On 28 Oct. 1836 he was appointed first parish priest of Saint-Aimé (Richelieu County), and held this post until 1841. Then he was made responsible for the parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Rouville County) until 1843. In that year Bishop Ignace Bourget* entrusted him with the editorship of the periodical Mélanges religieux, which was then the organ of the bishopric of Montreal. He carried out this duty for two years and then again became a parish priest.
During the many years he devoted to ministering to a parish, Dupuy liked to bring together the poorest and most intelligent of the children, in order to teach them and prepare them for classical studies. He had stayed for a short time at the college of Chambly in September 1836; in 1846 he was appointed director of the college of L'Assomption. Founded by Dr Jean-Baptiste Meilleur, Dr Louis-Joseph Cazeneuve, and the parish priest Francois Labelle, this college had opened its doors in 1833. In 1846 it offered two programmes: a preparatory course which emphasized practical subjects, and the classical course proper. Two years after Dupuy's arrival the only teaching staff left were priests and seminarists. The lay teachers assigned to the French and English classes had been let go, for it was considered that only ecclesiastics could be good educators, with the qualities and the special grace necessary for training youth. In addition, the laymen had to be paid much more than the churchmen; the latter received board and lodging at the college, and their salaries were paltry.
In 1850 the college and its director were the victims of a somewhat curious occurrence. A group of pupils formed a kind of secret society, adopting a code language, dressing in a weird fashion, and playing at being revolutionaries. They were called the "Flambards." They started a clandestine paper, part playful, part scientific, and uniformly mocking and disrespectful towards the authority of the institution. Dupuy had to take the blame for this affair, whose echoes penetrated to the ears of Bishop Bourget of Montreal.
At the college of L'Assomption, Dupuy preserved and established a number of customs relating to piety, studies, hygiene, and festivals. In his Histoire du collège, Anastase Forget sums up Dupuy's work, saying that he understood young people, re-established authority, and made himself well liked. The pupils he trained remembered him with extraordinary affection.
Another incident is a good example of Jean-Baptiste Dupuy's zeal for education. In 1849 the parish of L'Assomption, with the authorization of the superintendent, Meilleur, decided to open a bilingual school and to stress the teaching of English; the commissioners went further, and asked for two schools to be opened, one English and the other French. Dupuy then offered to set up a French model school free of charge. The aim of the programme was "to teach, within three years, gradually and as the children [acquired] ability, French grammar, arithmetic, double entry bookkeeping, Canadian history, Biblical history, geography, the art of letter-writing, a little zoology and ornithology, particularly the part that [might] be helpful for domestic economy and agriculture, a small manual of agriculture, the understanding of [A. Gérin-Lajoie*'s] political catechism, and even, if it [were] possible, as an experiment, a small manual of the humanities and rhetoric."
Dupuy became a parish priest again in 1852, and was appointed to the parish of Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu in 1858. Always held in high esteem by the bishops of the diocese of Saint-Hyacinthe, he accompanied them on their pastoral visits in 1856, 1859, and 1861. In 1866 he was appointed a member of the diocesan council, and in 1873 went with Bishop Charles La Rocque as a theologian to the Quebec council.
In an obituary article, La Minerve testified eloquently in Jean-Baptiste Dupuy's favour: it stressed his extraordinarily honest judgement, his enlightened mind, his warm heart, his detachment from earthly possessions, his spirit of charity, and his love and generosity towards the poor, whom he assisted to the extent of being continually in want. Study was always one of the passions of his life, and this enabled him to be a preacher as serious as he was interesting, and a theologian whose counsel and opinions were always received with profit.

Taking the Bullets out of the Gun
June 21, 2016 Rev. Paul M. Turner
In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
In the days following the Orlando massacre, it's become painfully clear to me that there are people out there who really don't get it. They really don't. They don't get that LGBT people like me feel connected to what happened at Pulse. They don't get that it touched a nerve with each of us individually. They don't get that we LGBT people live our lives carrying around a keen sense of vulnerability that not everyone can relate to. They just don't get it. And it's so disappointing.
Perhaps worst of all, these people don't get that this is the wrong time to exercise their heterosexual privilege and make excuses for why they couldn't be bothered to express sympathy for how LGBT people are feeling in the wake of Orlando.
If you think I'm generalizing, I can assure you that I'm not. And if this particular shoe fits you, then by all means I encourage you to wear it. Walk around and see how it feels. If it's uncomfortable, read on. If it's comfortable, read on.
It's because that particular pair of shoes still exists that we have so-called "Christians" taking full advantage of this moment to widen the divisions and hatred in our society. They're hiding behind an illusion that theirs is the one true faith (thereby implying that they're speaking for God). They're hiding behind "morality" and "values" — evangelical/fundamentalist code for opposition to reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and any limits whatsoever on the sacrosanctity of American gun rights.
Well, guess what else is included in that code: That if you're not "Christian" by their standards, there's no mercy, compassion or place for you in their America.
In other words, it's okay for someone to kill you.
Eliel Cruz, executive director of Faith in America, puts it this way:
We also have to examine how specifically Christian evangelicals, the right, have exported their homophobia. I mean, let's really look at Christian evangelicals who have influenced legislation abroad in many countries in Africa, and in Russia, that have led to LGBT people being killed.
There are specific ties to these individuals.
The same messages that are being preached in the pulpit are the same messages that are being preached abroad, and it's being translated to understand that they believe this… is okay because these white missionaries told us it was. And that, because of what scripture says, it's okay to kill these individuals as well. Whether or not that is your intent, that is the impact.
And in case you think this is just hyperbole, allow Rev. Roger Jimenez of Sacramento's Verity Baptist Church to disabuse you of that notion (the following being from an hourlong sermon):
Hey, are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today? No… I think that's great. I think that helps society. I think Orlando, Florida's a little safer tonight.
… It is unnatural for a man to be attracted to another man.
… The tragedy is that more of them didn't die.
Or allow Congressman Rick Allen to assure you that LGBT people are worthy of death.
Statements like these are so far apart from my morals and values — and my Christianity — that I find it hard to believe they draw breath on the same planet as I do.
There have always been Christians who take an exceptionalist view of their faith — i.e., that there's one road to heaven, and they've got the map. But the religious right (and political right), the fundamentalists, the zealots, the anti-intellectual evangelicals and the end-of-times crowd have a lot of nerve trying to claim their narrow brand of Christianity is the only one to be practiced.
Why is this stuff so dangerous? Because as a society shifts toward acceptance, those who oppose it are likely to become more radical, according to law and psychology experts interviewed by the New York Times for an article stating that even before the Orlando massacre, the LGBT community was more at risk for hate crimes in America than any other minority group. According to FBI data cited by the Times:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people are the most likely targets of hate crimes, with LGBT people being twice as likely to be targeted as African Americans.
In the past 10 years, the rate of hate crimes based on sexual orientation has surpassed that of crimes against Jewish people.
Of 5,462 single-bias hate crimes reported in 2014, nearly one-fifth were because of the victim's perceived or actual sexual orientation.
In other words, being out and LGBT is simply dangerous, as a friend recently shared. I agree. When it comes to my husband and me, there are places we don't go. We instinctively scan any room we enter. We have a plan in place in case we run into an aggressive homophobe. When someone walks into a restaurant where we're seated and gives us "that look", we tense. Partly because at one time we were literally on the receiving end of threats, we don't ever assume we're safe.
But then there's Robert Lynch, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg, Fla. Writing about Orlando in his blog, he said:
Sadly it is religion, including our own, which targets, mostly verbally, and also often breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and transgender people. Attacks today on LGBT men and women often plant the seed of contempt, then hatred, which can ultimately lead to violence. Those women and men who were mowed down early yesterday morning were all made in the image and likeness of God. We teach that. We should believe that. We must stand for that… Singling out people for victimization because of their religion, their sexual orientation, their nationality must be offensive to God's ears. It has to stop also.
Meanwhile, the political right was in a hurry to connect the massacre to Islamic terrorism, with the shooter's Muslim identity breathlessly noted.
Yet before we allow the Christian/political right to label every Muslim an extremist and every Syrian refugee a terrorist, let's not forget that it's the message of the Christian extremists and terrorists in our own nation — those who organize their own militias, who wear white sheets and burn crosses, who bomb abortion clinics, who kill and kidnap in the name of God, who refuse to recognize homosexuals — who might as well have been bullets in the shooter's gun.
Has anyone noticed that these Christian exceptionalists never talk about what Jesus did or said, opting instead to go immediately to their own twisted version of the Old Testament to justify their fear, their hate, their grab for power?
Throw in a spoonful of the writings from Revelations, and Christian-identified American exceptionalism blesses the carpet bombing of a country into submission, or the injection of needle full of poison into the arm of a man or woman the state has determined is expendable.
By the way, do you really think someone who has been married 3-4 times has any morals or values to offer up to a same-gender couple who have been together for 34 years? Or that an institutional church that has made a century-long practice of hiding pedophiles has any moral grounds to be worried about who a LGBTQ person chooses to marry?
Do you really think that a person who calls themselves a "right to life" Christian yet allows the state to murder someone in their 30's or 40's has any moral compass from which anyone else could take direction?
My editor likes to call me "Pastor Angrypants" when I get worked up about these glaring hypocrisies. Well then, so be it. I am tired — and maybe even a little righteously angry — that my religion has been hijacked, repackaged and returned to me as something I should swallow whole or risk burning in hell.
I resent that in today's environment, I am expected to rent my faith from the institutional church rather than owning it for myself.
I am tired of counting the angels dancing on the head of a pin while our culture collapses around us. I am tired of watching my tax dollars being spent on a false war on Christmas while thousands of souls are left on the streets without shelter, food or decent clothing — and with little hope of that changing in the foreseeable future.
I am tired of these so-called Christian leaders taking front and center on moral talk and then encouraging people to go get a gun.
I am more than just a little tired of having to give comfort to those grieving in my community because it seems that every other day we are gunned down, knifed and beaten beyond recognition because of who we love or what public restroom we use.
It is time for the "followers of Jesus" to speak up and remind the world that "Christian" means someone who follows the example and teachings of Jesus. Not someone who will swallow whatever a power-hungry and opportunist pastor tells them.
Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. As a matter of fact, Jesus very seldom talked about the "thou shalt nots" of what we're not supposed to do. Rather, his moral compass, his teaching, was much more concerned with what we're supposed to do. He was always crystal clear about the "thou shalts."
So here's a "thou shalt": It is time for our family members whose silence has have been deafening to stand up! And to our other (largely straight) allies, hear us when we say this: We need you to stand up with us. We can do a lot by ourselves, but this won't end without your help. When you hear a gay joke, or someone saying "that's so gay", or someone being called queer (or worse), or a clergyperson demonizing gay people, say something. Stand up for us. And if you know us, stand up for us. Stand up for my family.
We need your help emptying the bullets from the literal and figurative guns that are killing us.
Here's another "thou shalt": It is time for us to really walk with Jesus. Feed the poor (in America alone there are 12-15 million souls who worry daily about whether they will have food); visit the sick and imprisoned (and advocate for their humane treatment); accept the outcast (the queer, the single mom, the street person, the Muslim, the mentally challenged); shelter the homeless (and stop creating more of them); be good stewards and shepherds of Creation (and stop raping the environment); depend on God rather than on wealth (and stop collecting it at the expense of the poor); treat others as you would have them treat you. And if you're going to fight, fight for justice!
And it is far past time for the "followers of Jesus" — those who believe in and actually attempt to live the teachings of Jesus — to reclaim the name "Christian", to reclaim the faith, to reclaim the discussion… to stop being co-opted by persons and politicians who have little knowledge, understanding or practical application of Christian principles in their own lives.
Let us today reclaim this definition of love from 1 Corinthians 13:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Let us reclaim this theme of the Old Testament (Micah 6:8):
But God has already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love. And don't take yourself too seriously — take God seriously.
Let us reject the repackaging of today's Christianity into silly self-righteous proof-texting of the old Hebrew scriptures whose byproduct is real spiritual violence in service of a naked power grab by which the institutional church dominates and controls people.
Murder and violent aggression are immoral. Allowing people to wallow in poverty is immoral. Raising children to hate others for any reason is immoral. Rewarding the rich and greedy is immoral. Lying is immoral. Suspending basic human rights is immoral. Torturing prisoners is immoral.
Insecure (and all too often power hungry) preachers and politicians feed on people's fears. They prey on the weak, they divert our abundance away from the poor to build a building or win an election, and they threaten believers with hell on earth at the hands of weapons of mass destruction. That is not congruent with my faith, nor should it be with yours.
It is now more than past time to leave behind the preachers, priests and politicians who have proven themselves to be a badly behaved bunch of hypocrites. It is now more than past time to abandon the churches that are temples to greed, self-indulgence and self-righteousness.
And finally, it is time to take seriously this urging of Martin Luther King Jr., who said:
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
To which I would add: Let us not be bullets in the gun of hate and despair.

Founded in 1984 by Christopher Pemberton, Pemberton Engineering has been manufacturing press tools, jigs and fixtures for over 35 years. The company started by manufacturing small press tools for the lock industry, which was still flourishing in the Black Country. As this industry began to decline in the 1990's Pemberton began manufacturing small tools for the automotive sector.
The company soon found itself manufacturing larger tools for lorry and tractor components, and over the past 10 years Pemberton has been manufacturing tools for Tier One automotive suppliers. The size and complexity of the tooling it supplies today has grown far beyond its early days with more complex progression tooling becoming the new norm.
The company has invested heavily over the past decade in new CNC Machinery, Wire Eroders and CMM (coordinate measuring machine) equipment. With the next generation of the Pemberton family taking over the running of the company, the future is bright and full of new opportunities. In 2018 the company purchased its neighbouring industrial unit to double its production facility and has undertaken the process of gaining AS9100 accreditation for the aerospace industry.

How Kosovo was Turned into Fertile Ground for ISIS
Every Friday, just yards from a statue of Bill Clinton with arm aloft in a cheery wave, hundreds of young bearded men make a show of kneeling to pray on the sidewalk outside an improvised mosque in a former furniture store. The mosque is one of scores built here with Saudi government money and blamed for spreading Wahhabism — the conservative ideology dominant in Saudi Arabia — in the 17 years since an American-led intervention wrested tiny Kosovo from Serbian oppression. Since then — much of that time under the watch of American officials — Saudi money and influence have transformed this ...

However, I doubt the dead are in any way equipped to help them understand what is happening in the so-called "land of the free and home ...
"The Civilized World" Strikes Again: Donald Trump, a Complete Puppet of the Military Industrial Complex
It is apparent given the timelines and the lack of time given to verifying the validity of accusations concerning the gas attack in Homs, Syria, that plans had already been coordinated for such an attack. Watching the mainstream media the viewer receives the impression from the wording of the announcers reports and questions for the "experts" that the matter was already decided in favour of the U.S. military strike on the airbase. I see pictures of Colin Powell at the UN holding up glossy photos of supposed chemical weapons manufacturing plants. It demonstrates to a high degree how easily manipulated Trump ...
Twenty-Six Things About the Islamic State (ISIL) That Obama Does Not Want You to Know About
This article was first published in November 2014. Recent developments confirm what is known and documented: Washington is behind the Islamic State (ISIS) and at the same time it is behind the moderate Al Qaeda terrorists, which the Obama administration is supporting as part of America's campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS). And they expect us to believe that they are committed to waging a campaign against terrorists. The Islamic State (ISIS) was until 2014 called al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). Al Nusra is an al Qaeda affiliate which has committed countless atrocities in Syria. It is now considered by the Obama administration as ...

For 68 Years NATO Failing to Create a Peaceful World
It is unreasonable to ask taxpayers to pay billions more dollars for NATO's budget because they get less and less peace, security and stability, says Jan Oberg, director of Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the bloc's security spending would see its biggest increase since 2014, by 4.3 per cent in 2017. This is a response to US President Donald Trump's criticism of NATO countries failing to increase military budgets. Stoltenberg also said the alliance has combat-ready forces along Russia's border. "NATO's four multinational battle groups in the Baltic countries and Poland are now fully operational, ...
How Palestinians Can Reverse Israel's Divide and Conquer Tactics
Most veteran observers, including Israeli security authorities and Palestinian leadership, were dumbfounded by recent events in Jerusalem, where tens of thousands of Palestinians mobilized non-violently in response to the Israeli closure of the Old City and placement of metal detectors at the entrance of the Dome of Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. What was the secret ingredient that made such a mass action take place and be a successful example in Palestinian non-violent resistance to the 50 years of Israeli military occupation? How did it happen so spontaneously, non-violently and with seemingly no leadership?A new report by the group, titled, Relations Between Palestinians Across ...

Air Strikes against Syria: Who are the War Criminals?
America is coming to the rescue of Al Qaeda under a humanitarian mandate. The unspoken agenda is to undermine the Liberation of Aleppo. The pretext and justification for these actions are based on America's "responsibility to protect" (R2P) the "moderates" in Aleppo from Syrian and Russian attacks and bombing raids.On October 3, the US State Department announced the suspension of bilateral relations with Russia pertaining to Syria (see document below), in response to which, France's foreign Minister Jean Marc Ayrault was called upon to intermediate at the diplomatic level. Pointing his finger at Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Jean Marc Ayrault casually accused Moscow ...
An Idea of the Yugoslav Unification (1)
Introduction Yugoslavia as a state was officially created hundred years ago on December 1st, 1918 as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed on January 6th, 1929 to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia). The country emerged legally from the Corfu Pact of 1917 (signed agreement between Serbia's government and the South-Slavic representatives from the Habsburg Monarchy) and was the extremely heterogeneous state from ethnic, geographic, historical, confessional and linguistic points of view. Yugoslavia's religious and ethnic diversity was expressed in two mutually opposite national-political ideas about the nature and future of the new state. It is true that Slovenia and Croatia had ...
Covid-19 Shatters the Facade of the European Union
The new coronavirus and its accompanying disease Covid-19 has stopped the globe in its tracks. Governments, markets and news cycles have become dominated by the pandemic. Europe is now the epicenter for the disease, with reportedly more fatal cases of infection than China where the virus first erupted in December.Several European Union countries have declared themselves states of emergencies, including Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain and Italy. The 27-member bloc has sealed off external borders. Some states, such as Poland, have begun closing borders with other EU members. Brussels, the administrative center of the EU, is alarmed because the much-vaunted single ...
Real or Rigged "International Conference on Fascism and Antisemitism" in Vilnius on 9 November?
Yet again, a conference here in the Lithuanian capital dedicated to combating fascism and antisemitism is announced, without there having been a public call for papers, without a single speaker from among those who actually combat fascism and antisemitism in the country, with nobody from the democratically elected Vilnius Jewish community (not even the long-time editor of Jerusalem of Lithuania who has exposed and combated antisemitism for decades). No Holocaust survivors. None of the nationally relevant questions of the day can be found on the conference program. As ever, outstanding academic personalities from abroad are recruited to lend the gravitas and provide serious papers ...

Khashoggi vs. 50,000 Slaughtered Yemeni Children: Europe has no Morals, no Ethics no Nothing

At the same time, the Albanian national movement Rilindja was initiated, ...

Supreme Court makes it harder for patent trolls to hand-pick battlegrounds
By Shawn Knight on May 22, 2017, 18:30
Justices with the US Supreme Court voted 8-0 on Monday that patent infringement lawsuits can only be filed in courts where the defendant is incorporated, overturning a previous ruling by the US Courts of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. That Washington-based patent court ruled last year that patent lawsuits can be held anywhere a defendant's products are sold.
The latest ruling comes as a result of a legal battle between beverage flavoring company TC Heartland LLC and food and beverage company Kraft Heinz Co.
As Reuters highlights, Kraft filed a dispute against Heartland in a Delaware federal court. Heartland attempted to get the matter transferred to its home state of Indiana, arguing that it has no presence in Delaware and that 98 percent of its sales come from outside of the state. The aforementioned appeals court last year denied the request for transfer.
Heartland CEO Ted Gelov said that individuals and businesses in the US have been unfairly required for decades to defend patent suits in far off locales which adds cost, complexity and unpredictably to the intellectual property marketplace.
The decision is viewed as a major blow to patent trolls – companies and individuals that generate revenue by obtaining collections of patents and levying infringement lawsuits against other companies rather than actually producing products or services themselves.
As you likely know, this is a major concern in the technology industry.
In addition to fielding what many consider to be bogus lawsuits, tech-based defendants also have to contend with the fact that patent trolls get to "shop" for courts that are "friendly" to their stance.
One hotbed for patent trolls is East Texas as evident by the fact that more than 40 percent of all patent suits in the US are filed in that region. Today's ruling should make it harder for patent trolls to go after companies and may even dissuade firms from filing suits in the first place, thus allowing tech companies to focus on what really matters: innovation.

Q: Difficult with structures C I'm dealing with a big code that makes massive use of structures to access variables in multiple void functions.  I was trying to write an code with the basic structure of the program just to know how can I deal with it without break it.
I wrote the code below with some questions can you guys help me ?
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>

typedef struct useful_stuff
{

    int loop_var;  /* I want to use the loop_var in multiple void
                * functions to iterate my loops
            */

}useful_stuff;

typedef struct leo_stuff
{

    int the_stuff;/* the stuff is a member I will use and modify
               *during the execution of the two void functions
               */

}leo_stuff;

void define_loop(useful_stuff u_s)  // This variable I want to use during the code
{
    u_s.loop_var = 10;
}

void use_leo_stuff(useful_stuff u_s,leo_stuff *l_s)
{
    int i,loop;
    loop = u_s.loop_var;

    printf("the loop var is: %d\n", loop);

    for(i=0; i < loop; ++loop)
    {
        l_s.the_stuff = i + 1000;
        //(*l_s).the_stuff = i + 1000;  Is this more correct ?
        printf("l_s stuff from stuff1 is: %d\n",l_s.the_stuff);
        //here I'm expecting to see 1001,1002,1003.....
    }

}

//why he choosed to call a struct with simple declaration or with a pointer ?
void use_leo_stuff_again(useful_stuff u_s,leo_stuff *l_s)
{
    int i,loop;
    loop = u_s.loop_var;

    printf("The loop var from again is: %d\n",loop);

    for(i=0; i<loop; ++i)
    {
        l_s.the_stuff = i+1000;
        printf("the_stuff from again is: %d\n", the_stuff);
        //here I expect to see 2011,2012,2013 ...
    }

}

int main()
{
    useful_stuff u_s;  // Is this the correct way to call functions with
                   //   structures in main ??
    leo_stuff *l_s;

    define_loop(useful_stuff u_s);

    use_leo_stuff(useful_stuff u_s,leo_stuff *l_s);

        use_leo_stuff_again(useful_stuff u_s,leo_stuff *l_s);

    return 0;
}

A: If you like to use the modified values of useful_stuff in other functions, you need to pass them using a pointer to define_loop.
The leo_stuff variable needs to be declared as a normal variable and then passed using the address of operator &.

A: The issue you are having is not so much due to difficulty with structs, rather it is in understanding the difference between passing a variable, or the address of the variable.
When you pass a variable as a function argument, the function receives a COPY of the variable, such that any changes made are only visible in the function. The value of the variable in the calling function (i.e. main()) remains unchanged.
To have the function actually change the value of the variable in memory, you must pass the variable ADDRESS (i.e. a pointer) as an argument to the function. Then any changes made to the value at that address are also available in main() (or the calling function).
Below is a tweak to your code reflecting this principle. It applies regardless of the type of data you are passing to the function. Let me know if you have questions.
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>

typedef struct useful_stuff
{
    int loop_var;

} useful_stuff;

typedef struct leo_stuff
{
    int the_stuff;

} leo_stuff;

/* to change the value in main(), you must pass the address
of u_s (i.e. a pointer to u_s) otherwise, the function just
gets a COPY of u_s, and the value in main() is unchanged
*/
void define_loop (useful_stuff *u_s)
{
    u_s->loop_var = 10;
}

void use_leo_stuff (useful_stuff u_s, leo_stuff *l_s)
{
    int i = 0;
    int loop = 0;

    loop = u_s.loop_var;

    printf ("\nThe loop var is: %d\n\n", loop);

    for(i=0; i < loop; ++i)
    {
        l_s->the_stuff = i + 1000;

        printf("  l_s stuff from stuff1 is: %d\n",l_s->the_stuff);
    }
}

void use_leo_stuff_again (useful_stuff u_s, leo_stuff *l_s)
{
    int i = 0;
    int loop = 0;

    loop = u_s.loop_var;

    printf("\nThe loop var from again is: %d\n\n",loop);

    /* l_s->the_stuff is still 1009 from the first funciton
    let's do something different here, like reduce it to
    the original value
    */
    for(i=0; i<loop; ++i)
    {
        printf("  the_stuff from again is: %d\n", l_s->the_stuff);
        l_s->the_stuff -= 1;
    }

}

int main()
{
    useful_stuff u_s;           /* declare an instance of u_s & stuff       */
    leo_stuff stuff;

    leo_stuff *l_s = &stuff;    /* then create your l_s pointer to stuff    */

    define_loop (&u_s);         /* pass the address to preserve the change  */

    use_leo_stuff (u_s, l_s);   /* call your functions as normal    */

    use_leo_stuff_again (u_s, l_s);

    printf ("\n");

    return 0;
}

Output

Q: JPA criteria query in a many-to-many relationship I'm using JPA 2.0 in EclipseLink 2.3.2 in which I have a many-to-many relationship between products and their colours. A product can have many colours and a colour can be associated with many products. This relationship is expressed in the database by three tables.

*

*product

*prod_colour (join table)

*colour

The prod_colour table has two reference columns prod_id and colour_id from its related parent tables product and colour respectively.
As obvious, the entity class Product has a set of colours - java.util.Set<Colour> which is named colourSet.
The entity class Colour has a set of products - java.util.Set<Product> which is named productSet.
I need to fetch a list of colours from the colour table based on prodId supplied which does not match the colours in the prod_colour table.

The corresponding JPQL would be something like the following.
FROM Colour colour
WHERE colour.colourId
NOT IN(
SELECT colours.colourId
     FROM Product product
     INNER JOIN product.colourSet colours
     WHERE product.prodId=:id)
ORDER BY colour.colourId DESC

It generates the following SQL statement.
SELECT t0.colour_id, t0.colour_hex, t0.colour_name
FROM projectdb.colour t0
WHERE t0.colour_id
NOT IN (
       SELECT DISTINCT t1.colour_id
       FROM prod_colour t3, projectdb.product t2, projectdb.colour t1
       WHERE ((t2.prod_id = ?)
       AND ((t3.prod_id = t2.prod_id)
       AND (t1.colour_id = t3.colour_id))))
ORDER BY t0.colour_id DESC

Since this would in turn be a run time query, it would be preferable to have a criteria query. I don't have insight to fabricate a criteria query in this complex relationship.
I have the following query so far which is quite unrelated to the preceding JPQL.
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder=entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Colour>criteriaQuery=criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Colour.class);
Metamodel metamodel = entityManager.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Colour> entityType = metamodel.entity(Colour.class);
Root<Colour> root = criteriaQuery.from(entityType);
SetJoin<Colour, Product> join = root.join(Colour_.productSet, JoinType.INNER);
ParameterExpression<Long> parameterExpression=criteriaBuilder.parameter(Long.class);
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.equal(join.get(Product_.prodId), parameterExpression));

TypedQuery<Colour> typedQuery = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery).setParameter(parameterExpression, prodId);
List<Colour> list=typedQuery.getResultList();

How to write a criteria query that corresponds to the JPQL given?

EDIT:
This criteria query :
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder=entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Tuple>criteriaQuery=criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Tuple.class);
Metamodel metamodel = entityManager.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Colour> entityType = metamodel.entity(Colour.class);
Root<Colour> root = criteriaQuery.from(entityType);
criteriaQuery.multiselect(root.get(Colour_.colourId));
SetJoin<Colour, Product> join = root.join(Colour_.productSet, JoinType.INNER);
ParameterExpression<Long> parameterExpression=criteriaBuilder.parameter(Long.class);
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.equal(join.get(Product_.prodId), parameterExpression));

TypedQuery<Tuple> typedQuery = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery).setParameter(parameterExpression, prodId);
List<Tuple> list = typedQuery.getResultList();

in turn produces the following SQL query.
SELECT t0.colour_id
FROM projectdb.colour t0, prod_colour t2, projectdb.product t1
WHERE ((t1.prod_id = 1)
AND ((t2.colour_id = t0.colour_id)
AND (t1.prod_id = t2.prod_id))))

How to correlate this query to a subquery so that it can produce the following SQL query?
SELECT t0.colour_id, t0.colour_hex, t0.colour_name
FROM projectdb.colour t0
WHERE t0.colour_id
NOT IN (
       SELECT t0.colour_id
       FROM projectdb.colour t0, prod_colour t2, projectdb.product t1
       WHERE ((t1.prod_id = 1)
       AND ((t2.colour_id = t0.colour_id)
       AND (t1.prod_id = t2.prod_id))))
ORDER BY t0.colour_id DESC

EDIT:
The following criteria query along with NOT EXISTS() works.
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder=entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Colour>criteriaQuery=criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Colour.class);
Metamodel metamodel = entityManager.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Colour> entityType = metamodel.entity(Colour.class);
Root<Colour> root = criteriaQuery.from(entityType);
criteriaQuery.select(root);
Subquery<Long>subquery=criteriaQuery.subquery(Long.class);
Root<Product> subRoot = subquery.from(Product.class);
subquery.select(root.get(Colour_.colourId));
Predicate paramPredicate = criteriaBuilder.equal(subRoot.get(Product_.prodId), prodId);
Predicate correlatePredicate = criteriaBuilder.equal(root.get(Colour_.productSet), subRoot);
subquery.where(criteriaBuilder.and(paramPredicate, correlatePredicate));
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.exists(subquery).not());
criteriaQuery.orderBy(criteriaBuilder.desc(root.get(Colour_.colourId)));

TypedQuery<Colour> typedQuery = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<Colour>list= typedQuery.getResultList();

It however, produces the SQL query with an unnecessary/extra/redundant join like the following (It returns the desired result set though as it seems to be).
SELECT t0.colour_id, t0.colour_hex, t0.colour_name
FROM projectdb.colour t0
WHERE
NOT (EXISTS (
       SELECT t0.colour_id
       FROM prod_colour t3, projectdb.product t2, projectdb.product t1
       WHERE (((t1.prod_id = 1)
       AND (t1.prod_id = t2.prod_id))
       AND ((t3.colour_id = t0.colour_id)
       AND (t2.prod_id = t3.prod_id)))))
ORDER BY t0.colour_id DESC

This should simply be like,
SELECT t0.colour_id, t0.colour_hex, t0.colour_name
FROM projectdb.colour t0
WHERE
NOT (EXISTS (
       SELECT t0.colour_id
       FROM prod_colour t3, projectdb.product t2
       WHERE (((t2.prod_id = 1))
       AND ((t3.colour_id = t0.colour_id)
       AND (t2.prod_id = t3.prod_id)))))
ORDER BY t0.colour_id DESC

Is there a way to have a subquery with the NOT IN() clause instead of NOT EXISTS() and to get rid of this redundant join?
The redundant join produced by this query was already reported as a bug.

A: The following is the criteria query regarding NOT IN() (I however, prefer NOT EXISTS() over NOT IN()).
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder=entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Colour>criteriaQuery=criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Colour.class);
Metamodel metamodel = entityManager.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Colour> entityType = metamodel.entity(Colour.class);
Root<Colour> root = criteriaQuery.from(entityType);
criteriaQuery.select(root);

Subquery<Long>subquery=criteriaQuery.subquery(Long.class);
Root<Product> subRoot = subquery.from(Product.class);
subquery.select(root.get(Colour_.colourId));

Predicate paramPredicate = criteriaBuilder.equal(subRoot.get(Product_.prodId), prodId);
Predicate correlatePredicate = criteriaBuilder.equal(root.get(Colour_.productSet), subRoot);

subquery.where(criteriaBuilder.and(paramPredicate, correlatePredicate));
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.in(root.get(Colour_.colourId)).value(subquery).not());
criteriaQuery.orderBy(criteriaBuilder.desc(root.get(Colour_.colourId)));

TypedQuery<Colour> typedQuery = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<Colour> list=typedQuery.getResultList();

This produces the following SQL query.
SELECT t0.colour_id, t0.colour_hex, t0.colour_name
FROM projectdb.colour t0
WHERE NOT
(t0.colour_id IN (
                 SELECT t0.colour_id
                 FROM prod_colour t3, projectdb.product t2, projectdb.product t1
                 WHERE (((t1.prod_id = ?)
                 AND (t1.prod_id = t2.prod_id))
                 AND ((t3.colour_id = t0.colour_id)
                 AND (t2.prod_id = t3.prod_id)))))
ORDER BY t0.colour_id DESC

This query returns the desired result set. It however, produces a redundant join as can be seen but this seems to be a bug.

Edit:
Trying the same query on Hibernate, the way of writing this criteria query looks incorrect. A combination of join and subquery result in producing the correct SQL query.
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder=entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Colour>criteriaQuery=criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Colour.class);
Metamodel metamodel = entityManager.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Colour> entityType = metamodel.entity(Colour.class);
Root<Colour> root = criteriaQuery.from(entityType);
criteriaQuery.select(root);

Subquery<Long>subquery=criteriaQuery.subquery(Long.class);
Root<Colour> subRoot = subquery.from(Colour.class);
subquery.select(subRoot.get(Colour_.colourId));
SetJoin<Colour, Product> join = subRoot.join(Colour_.productSet, JoinType.INNER);

ParameterExpression<Long> parameterExpression=criteriaBuilder.parameter(Long.class);
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.in(root.get(Colour_.colourId)).value(subquery).not());
subquery.where(criteriaBuilder.equal(join.get(Product_.prodId), parameterExpression));
criteriaQuery.orderBy(criteriaBuilder.desc(root.get(Colour_.colourId)));

TypedQuery<Colour> typedQuery = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<Colour> list = typedQuery.setParameter(parameterExpression, 1L).getResultList();

This produces the following SQL query which would in turn be delegated to MySQL.
SELECT t0.colour_id, t0.colour_name, t0.colour_hex
FROM projectdb.colour t0
WHERE NOT (t0.colour_id IN
          (SELECT t1.colour_id
           FROM prod_colour t3, projectdb.product t2, projectdb.colour t1
           WHERE ((t2.prod_id = ?)
           AND ((t3.colour_id = t1.colour_id)
           AND (t2.prod_id = t3.prod_id)))))
ORDER BY t0.colour_id DESC

Retrievers aren't the only water dogs!
We've all had those pool party guests who are there for the free food, not the swimming and socializing.
Some of these dogs just want to catch a tan, while others want to catch a ball. There are those who make a big splash and those who stay poised on the water's edge.
Dogs certainly have different affinities for water. Which party guest loves swimming most?
Pool day for Dino! It's hot out there ?
When it's hot...you gotta do what you gotta do! #cockapoo #swimmingdogs #raftlife?☀??
Retrievers particularly seem to love the water the most, which makes sense considering they have specially webbed toes made for swimming.
Taking your dog for a swim is not only a great way to beat the heat and prevent heat exhaustion this summer, but it's also a great way to tire your pooch out. And, they'll get plenty of exercise to stay trim so they can have a fit beach bod.

At EtonHouse, we believe that achievement extends beyond academic excellence to include socially responsible attitudes and positive contributions to society. That's why we encourage our students to participate in community service initiatives that make a positive difference to society. In addition to our regular commitments, our students also take the lead in initiating fundraisers and supporting projects in response to incidents happening around the world to provide aid for those in distress.
Through our community involvement programme, we enhance your child's learning journey, equipping them with crucial skills such as entrepreneurship and business-mindedness to set them up for success in life. More importantly, we instill a sense of responsibility and community to nurture our students as compassionate, empathetic and socially responsible individuals.
The EtonHouse community has had a longstanding relationship with KKH. Besides the collection and donation of books to the hospital library, our student choir also regularly performs at events and within the wards to spread cheer among the patients. Through this collaborative engagement, we not only enhance the quality of life for the patients but also provide your child with a behind-the-scenes look at the medical profession.
An initiative by EtonHouse, the Travelling Pencils campaign was established to collect and donate used and new stationery to less fortunate students, both locally and abroad. Testament of the programme's success, Travelling Pencils was even featured on the TEDx talks in Singapore. Today, our students continue to participate in the stationery drive on a yearly basis. Most recently, we donated a complete set of stationery to students in Cambodia.
As part of our community service initiatives, we are also working closely with the Manzil charity in Delhi. Over the years, we have donated pencils and even guitars. Thanks to the generous donations from our students, teachers and parents, the Manzil charity has since started its very own resident rock band. By participating in overseas community service, we provide your child with the opportunity to learn about different cultures and meet children from other parts of the world.
To enable our students to immerse themselves in different cultures and provide aid where it is needed most, we regularly organise exchange programmes to third-world countries. Over the years, our students and teachers have made community service trips to Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and Myanmar.
Our students have always been strong advocates for the protection of the environment. Testament to this, last year, our year 3 students donated their pocket money and did chores to raise funds to support two endangered animals through the WWF.
Since the launch of our community involvement programme, many of our students have stepped up to initiate and propose community service projects for the causes they believe in. This includes fundraisers for Typhoon Haiyan and Nepal Earthquake victims, building houses in Cambodia, constructing an Ethiopian orphanage and, most recently, collecting donations in support of the Syrian refugee crisis. We are proud to share that all of these student-led initiatives are wholly organised and carried out from start to finish by our students themselves.

When this year's Bike2Work campaign starts in May across Denmark, there are many good reasons to ride with. You save money on gasoline and travel tickets, you save the environment from CO2 plus you are less sick and burn more calories!
It may be tempting to take the car to work, but actually 38% of all Danish car commuters dream of cycling more *. Cycling to work together with colleagues can become a fun, common challenge that brings the team together. And you are also in the competition for a dream trip worth 12.000 kr. per person!
This year there are many new features on the campaign website, which provides extra motivation to cycle to work - or to cycle even more than usual.
You can, for example, monitor how many calories you burn, calculate how much money and how much CO2 you and your team save, and see how many sick days you have reduced. You can also compare team results and see how you stack up against the other teams, workplaces and municipalities across the country.
The core of the campaign remains the same as it always has been, says campaign manager Maria Bech: "It is first and foremost about getting people cycling - and to have fun with the colleagues. This year, we bring to the campaign a lot of new opportunities on both the website and social media. But the key is still cycling, and it is still the team which cycles most days that has the greatest chance of winning this year's main prize."
The campaign also has a brand new hashtag on Instagram # gørdetpåcykel (do it with a bike). By using this hashtag, participants can share images and stories from their cycle trips.
There are several competitions running on the campaign's Facebook and Instagram- page. There is, for example, a contest for the funniest team motto and the best photo.
Follow the campaign on Facebook and on Instagram.
New teams can register until May 1st.
Bike2Work Denmark is organized by the Danish Cyclists' Federation with the support of ITD / Safety in traffic and it is part of the EU funded Bike2Work project.
