Naturally occurring regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to suppress immune responses to self-antigens, thereby limiting autoimmunity. In the case of tumours, where immune responses to self-antigens are beneficial and lead to elimination of the tumour, such suppressive activity is actually detrimental to the host. Manipulation of Tregs holds great promise for the immunotherapy of cancer. Several studies performed using rodent models and indicate that Tregs cells inhibit effective anti-tumour immune responses and that their removal promotes tumour rejection. The increasing number of studies of Tregs in patients with cancer also point to a role for these cells in promoting disease progression. This review summarises the findings of these studies and addresses the advantages and potential pitfalls of manipulating Treg activity for the treatment of cancer.

The problem I've got with most sim-type games is that they're as straight as William Hague in his Young Conservative days. In the past few months, I've watched people struggling to enjoy Traffic Giant (sort out your local fag-end town's transport system) and Airport Inc (run a successful airport).
Snooze. What happened to causing a bit of mischief? Salvation could be close at hand. At the recent ECTS show, I was impressed by a relatively unknown title called Tropica, which is being built around a modified version of the Railroad Tycoon II engine. Styled as a SimCity in South America, it enables you to rule over your own tropical island in the way that you see fit.
Sadly, our favourite staples of the Banana Republic, namely growing huge swathes of poppies or dense furlongs of marijuana fields aren't going to feature in the game. For some reason the developers thought the mass market might shun such deviant behaviour. Huh? And terrorism per se isn't going to play a major part. PopTop says it might happen as an in-game event, but not as an organisational activity. Shame.
The key to success is how the locals (let's call them Tropicans) view you. You can't interact with them directly, but the way you mould the island affects your population and its stability. Build a hospital and a doctor will arrive, and so on. Run your island into the ground and you'd better be on good terms with the army. Of course you don't have to be a bad man. If you want you can try to steer your colony away from the stigma of poverty, and into a new reign of collective prosperity. The choice, as they say, is yours - and if you want an island that's bursting at the seams, this might be the only way to go. Happy Tropicans make more babies, although you could also try imposing a contraception ban by cosying up to the church.
Mainly an open-play game (ie you rule until you're kicked out of office), you can also set the game to end under certain winning/losing conditions. If you start growing your moustache now it should be ready by the time the game ships, in March next year.
Those gadget catalogues that fall out of periodicals at the most inopportune moments are either goldmines or graveyards (depending on your point of view) of fantastic ideas given flesh. Or at least premoulded plastic and a nifty marketing catch phrase. However, while the ideas look terrific on paper, and the products look great, you usually find that the Everlasting Light Bulb blows after a few weeks, and the Radio Controlled Clock turns out to be just a clock. No remote control, no stunt flying.
Tropico also looks fantastic on paper. The premise behind the game is simple and to the point. You have risen to power on a tropical island in the Caribbean and you have to transform your Third World island, consisting of a few shacks and some farms, into a thriving powerhouse of an economy. In this respect, there is more than an uncanny similarity to SimCity, where you have to provide housing for your virtual masses, and cater to their day-to-day demands. Churches, housing, education and basic healthcare are the most pressing requirements, so it's a click-and-build test to create your very own paradise-on-sea.
However, things aren't quite so easy. As in the real world, everything costs. In large amounts. And schools don't really make much in the way of money (despite Government attempts over recent years). You have to fund all these building works, and so to this end, you need to start creating either a nice sideline in tourism or some export industries. As your starting funds tend to be just slightly shy of broke, you have to exploit the basic resources that are at your disposal. Farms can be converted to produce things such as coffee, bananas, sugar and the like. And that tropical jungle is ripe for some serious slash-and-burn timber removal. All of which can be sold to a demanding Western world. However, devastating your forests will turn your island from paradise lost to Runcorn found. Not something that will have the tourists flocking in.
Once you start to get some kind of income trickling in, you can develop some factories and industries. Not only will the bank balance grow, but you'll keep more of your island's inhabitants employed. And this is important because your population are not just worker drones there to do your bidding but have individual thoughts, feelings, needs and most importantly, political leanings.
You see, despite being an el presidente-style dictator, you still have to get re-elected every ten years. And, although you can always rig the electoral ballot (well if they can do it in the US, they can do it anywhere), this only pushes the vote up 20 per cent your way, so if you're as popular as a randy dog in a Miss Lovely Legs contest, all the bribery in the world isn't going to get you another term. Just to complicate matters more (and quite true to life) some of the various political views are polar opposites.
Communists, capitalists, environmentalists, militarists (we're guessing fascists wouldn't have gone down well in Germany), religious fanatics - every political faction you can think of is represented on the island, and they've all got their own agenda. Some will want bigger factories, others will want to preserve the rainforest. And if one group gets too pissed off, they run to the hills (for a while) then come back to your tropical town. With guns. Lots of guns. Cue one civil war, and bad news for your election manifesto.
As if all this wasn't enough to keep tabs on, you have both the two superpowers breathing down your neck (and supporting any insurgents if they take a real dislike to you). Uncle Sam and the glorious Soviet Republic both take more than a passing interest in your affairs (although you can turn this to your advantage, as the occasional donation can come in very handy). And we haven't even mentioned tourists yet, who trickle then flock to your island (providing you create a few hotels and some dodgy nightclubs). Yet more loot for the treasury coffers. At least most of it. Naturally, being a slightly corrupt dictator, you might want to cream off the occasional dollar for a rainy day, if your bank account in Switzerland is looking a little barren.
So what's the problem? This has all the makings of a fantastic game... Well, just like the Radio Controlled Clock, what looks great on paper is a disappointment in reality. And the crux of the issue is the technology used to create the game. The developer, PopTop Software, shot to fame in 1999 with the utterly fantastic Railroad Tycoon 2. A tile-based, four-view isometric game in which the aim was to create a thriving country by linking up various industrial centres with the local population. Three years on, and Tropico bears more than just a passing resemblance to its erstwhile big brother. Four-view isometric, tile-based and frankly when compared to games released in 2001, looking very old and tired.
And the troubles don't end there. While the buildings have been drawn to an intricate level, basic things such as being able to plane rectangular buildings at a 90-degree angle have been left out, so any attempt to create a city of dreams ends up being the town of nightmares (just like Runcorn). While every person on the island has their own thoughts, this is largely superfluous as you run the island on a macro, not micro scale.
Tropico is a disappointment, as so much more could have been done. And while the game will appeal to a small core of gamers who still hanker after Railroad Tycoon, everyone else will be left feeling just a little bit bored, and very ripped off by the unwarranted Pound-34.99 price tag. Great inventions change the world. Mediocre or useless ones end up in a catalogue. No prizes for guessing where Tropico is headed.


School districts can increase physical activity among children and young adults by opening playgrounds, gyms and fields to the community outside of school hours, especially in low-income areas, according to an American Heart Association policy statement published today in the American Journal of Public Health.
The statement recommends that school districts enter "shared use" agreements with community organizations to allow supervised activities such as sports leagues and unsupervised playing on school grounds.
Low-income communities have less access to recreational spaces and community recreation centers, according to the statement.
When previously locked schoolyards in two lower-income communities in New Orleans were opened and activities supervised, children's outdoor physical activity was 84 percent higher than in a community with closed schoolyards, according to research cited in the statement.
Dollars: Who pays the bill? Shared use agreements can address who will maintain facilities or pay to keep the lights on after school by including requirements for third-party users. Schools in states that designate their schools as public facilities may qualify for funding from state recreation plans or other funding sources.
Dialogue: Dialogue can be a barrier when schools and organizations use different terminology. States can help to clarify and expand this dialogue by developing toolkits and authorizing schools to enter into shared use agreements.
Design: Schools have varying types and amounts of spaces available for physical activity. Those that open their property to the community for physical activity may qualify for additional state funds.
Damage: Liability for damage to school property or injuries on school property during non-school hours is a great concern for schools. States can limit liability in either case. Shared use agreements can require other organizations using school facilities to carry insurance to cover damages.
Decisions: Schools must be able to determine which groups are eligible to use their property and enter into a shared use agreement. A successful shared use system can set clear decision-making processes, help schools prioritize community organizations and prevent unfair preferences.
A recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 61.6 percent of 800 districts surveyed nationwide currently have a formal agreement for use of their facilities. Voices for Healthy Kids is working to increase the number of shared use agreements and respond to the five key issues identified by the statement released today.

Smail-aga Ćemalović (1884 Mostar, osmanská říše – 1944 Koncentrační tábor Jasenovac, Nezávislý stát Chorvatsko) byl bosenskohercegovský novinář a politik bosňáckého původu.

Životopis
Ćemalovićové patřily mezi nejstarší a nejbohatší muslimské rodiny v Mostaru.

V rodném městě Smail navštěvoval mekteb a rudžii, islámské základní školy, a nato obchodní školu. Ve Štýrském Hradci absolvoval obchodní akademii. Již v mladém věku přijal srbskou národní identitu a tuto se poté snažil šířit mezi bosenskohercegovskými muslimy. Roku 1902 se stal přispěvatelem v srbském periodiku Srbobran a současně uveřejňoval příspěvky v novosadském listu Zastava (Vlajka).

Roku 1906, kdy muslimové zahájily druhou fázi boje o náboženskou a školskou autonomii a založili Muslimskou národní organizaci, zřídil a jistý čas redakčně vedl list Musavat (Rovnost). Musavat byl neoficiálním tiskovým orgánem celého hnutí a ostře vystupoval proti rakousko-uherské okupaci Bosny a Hercegoviny. Ćemalović byl opakovaně odsuzován za své protivládní články, např. 21. června 1907 byl uznán vinným z narušení veřejného pořádku a odsouzen k šesti měsícům žaláře (propuštěn byl nakonec po dvou měsících). V téže době spolupracoval s listem Bosansko-hercegovački glasnik (Bosensko-hercegovský věstník), který založil další srbofil Omer-beg Sulejmanpašić, ten byl ale po krátce době zakázán.

Roku 1909, kdy se Muslimskou národní stranou rozešel, Musavat převzalo vedení strany a jeho redakci z mostaru přesunulo do Sarajeva. V Mostaru nato společně s Osmanem Đikićem, dalším prosrbským aktivistou, založil list Samouprava (Samospráva) a na něj napojené politické hnutí Muslimské demokracie, který se zaměřovalo na muslimské chudší vrstvy. V prvních volbách do zemského sněmu, saboru, ale demokraté zcela propadli.

Po smrti Osmana Đikiće roku 1912 založil nový list, Srpska omladina (Srbská mládež). Ten byl následujícího roku úředně zakázán. Roku také 1912 uspořádal hromadnou návštěvu Bělehradu s muslimskou mládeží z Mostaru, která chovala prosrbské sympatie.

Na začátku první světové války byl pro své prosrbské smýšlení zatčen a následně držen v internaci v aradské pevnosti. Po vzniku Království Srbů, Chorvatů a Slovinců koncem roku 1918 byl horlivým propagátorem politiky Nikoly Pašiće, předsedy národních radikálů a představitele jihoslovanského centralismu v srbských konturách. Za svůj vstřícný post k vládě byl odměněn postem mostarského starosty, který vykonával od roku 1919 do zavedení královské diktatury v Jugoslávii roku 1929.

Ćemalović byl na konci druhé světové války zadržen ustašovci a neznámého data popraven v Koncentračním táboře Jasenovac.

Springtime sunlight dapples the Secrists' lush Brigham City yard.
Along the borders, trees overhang the perennial beds, draping the plants in cool shadows. Around the perimeter, flowers of all colors bob quietly in the canyon breeze.
The idea is to browse the Secrist's yard until you spot exactly what you like. Forego the guesswork you'll know exactly what to expect when the plant reaches maturity. For the novice landscaper knowing what you're really buying is always a challenge.
The Secrists' business started back in the newspaper days when yard sale ads were sprinkled throughout the classified section. Advertising a 'real yard sale,' Nedra says that people showed up expecting something completely different. Visitors arrived and strolled into a beautiful yard full of budding and blooming perennials.
Back then, if a shopper spotted a particular plant growing in the Secrists' yard, Donrey or Nedra would dig it up right then and there and sell it.
"We'd dig starts, and put them in pots," says Donrey, "and that's what we were selling."
Many of the shoppers ended up leaving with their arms full of flowers. The experiment was so successful that a tradition was born: Secrist Gardens.
Pretty quickly, the Secrists realized that they were giving away too much. Every time a plant was sold, it went out the door with a valuable shovel full of soil from their garden. That set the Secrists on a search for the perfect soil for growing in Utah.
"That's where we came up with this peat from Downey, Idaho that we use exclusively," Donrey says.
Nedra explains that when Lake Bonneville drained into the Snake River Gorge through a place called Red Rock Pass, what it left behind became the rich Downey soil. Red Rock pass was a choke point for the drainage, and the lake deposited a large portion its vast flora in that spot. After many millennia, we are left with an excellent local source of nutrient-rich soil.
"They're just discovering those wonderful peat fields," says Nedra. "It's virgin sphagnum peat." Every year they head up to Idaho and load a trailer with that ancient soil. On the way south from Downey, the Secrists stop in Malad, Idaho to load up on perlite from the Hess Hummus Company. They finalize their perfect mix with extra peat moss.
The perlite aerates the soil, the peat moss helps it hold moisture, but the Downey soil is the Secrist's secret sauce.
Nedra urges perennial shoppers to be careful. She explains that a close inspection of the roots is incredibly important before you buy a plant. She tells us that often the plants have been fed a continual diet of fertilizer to give them the best possible appearance on the shelf. However, once they're in the soil the shock can often be too much. Plants that are over-fertilized often don't develop the root structure below ground that is required to support the above-ground portion that we see.
"It takes three years before a perennial will reach its prime," says Nedra, which is why when the Secrists sell a plant it's already in its second season.
One last secret of the Secrist's hardy perennials is the location where they raise their young plants. Escaping the heat of the summer, the duo retreat to the cooler climes of Bear Lake where they relocate their summer sales operations for the high-altitude homeowners.
But it's at 5,700 feet, at the tip-top of Utah, where the Secrists winter their young plants in a cold-frame setting.
Their mantra is simple, if a perennial can survive over-wintering on the shores of the frozen Bear Lake, they can survive the worst of Utah's climate.
Nedra says that their plants only receive a tiny amount of fertilization when they're very young and when they're waking up from the long Bear Lake winter. She says that extra help only seems fair.
With a lifetime of experience and a deep knowledge of the local growing conditions, the Secrist's are now turning their attention to education. Nedra was a schoolteacher for decades, she knows the importance of passing on all they've learned, so she wrote and published an exhaustive guide, "Powerful Perennials." Given Utah's unique conditions and vast array of climate zones, it's rare to find a repository of perennial growing information that is targeted directly at Utah's landscapes.
Every spring, when the snow and ice retreat from Bear Lake the Secrists, will bring their rugged perennials down to Brigham City and put on the best 'yard sale' in the state. The plants are tough and the knowledge is free. So much love and care has gone into the work they do, the Secrists truly are a local treasure.


Hello and welcome to Project Life Tuesday! I am taking a photo every day in 2011 and putting them together in an album to create a unique keepsake of this year for our family. Be sure to check in on what others are doing with their projects over at The Mom Creative!
Sunday, October 9th - Isaiah just loves his baby brother. I chase him around all day long trying to keep him from pulling his fingers off or smothering him. He means well though, as we can certainly see in this look he's giving me.
Monday, October 10th - When I'm not protecting Thomas from his big brothers, they're usually doing something like this. Micah is getting pretty good at tackling his older brother.
Tuesday, October 11th - It was kind of dreary and rainy today so I busted out the art tub. My little artists painted me some lovely masterpieces, but an impromptu bath was definitely in order afterwards since Micah insisted on painting himself as well as his paper.
Wednesday, October 12th - Evan finally got to ditch his old phone that wored about as well as a paperweight and upgrades to an iPhone. As you can see by the smug look on his face, he's pretty psyched to have entered the world of The Smartphone. I immediately borrowed it and downloaded Instagram.
Friday, October 14th - Ummm, so yeah. I think we're potty training? Out of the blue, Micah asked to go poop on the potty and he achieved success on the first try. Only time will tell if it's a fluke or if he's really ready to ditch the diapers.
Saturday, October 15th - Isaiah found this styrofoam skull in the woodchips by the playset and became immediately attached to it for some reason. He carried it around all day, made it talk, and named it "Frank."


Hello, my name is Megan Elizabeth.
I am 22 years old and am in the process of transforming my life. I created this blog as a true expression of personal healing and individual growth. It is my intention to use this space as a platform to talk openly about God and faith and everything in between. It is my hope to encourage others to listen to the 'gentle voice within' that embraces their most authentic self and dares to pursue a life of integrity and love. If I have touched at least one person's heart and encouraged them to explore the depths of their individual potential, then my purpose has been fulfilled.
For several years I have embraced a personal mantra that love is the answer, but have recently discovered that the pathway to love is through forgiveness. We are all in need of forgiveness and healing. Join me as I document my adventures and the pursuit of happiness.

COVID Figures Keep Rising
With 110 active COVID-19 cases leaping, Ste. Genevieve has been elevated to a "Hot Spot-Red," on provisional health department administrator Jeanette Wood's words to the county commissioners last Thursday. It had also been mentioned on St. Louis newscasts.
She reported that there were 110 active cases as of Tuesday, giving the county 764 since March. By Friday morning, the county's numbers had changed to 823 total cases, but only 71 active ones – plus 20 probable ones.
Wood also reported that 160 people took COVID tests on Nov. 11 and that within two to seven days those results should be back.
"That will probably spike the numbers," Presiding Commissioner Garry Nelson said.
Missouri, as of Friday, had suffered 26,228 new cases in the previous seven days, along with 66 new deaths.
Depending on whether the Center for Disease Control (CDC) or the state of Missouri guidelines for calculating "positivity," the positivity rate was either 23.9 percent or 2.7 percent.
There were 2,328 COVID patients hospitalized.
Wood also mentioned a public forum scheduled for Nov. 17 on whether a local face mask mandate should be adopted.
"I'm anxious to see what kind of a turnout it has," Wood said.
Nelson predicted that there would be "two groups there," one passionately in favor of masks and one staunchly opposed. He suggested that sheriff's department personnel should be on hand.
"There are no answers," Nelson said. "We've never seen this before."
Many county health departments have been overwhelmed by the pandemic. Nelson asked Wood if there was a solution
"Do families, do individuals have to be more vigilant, themselves, and write down names?" he asked, adding, "We'd offer to help, but we don't know what to do."
"Wear a mask," Wood said. "And, if you see people out and about that don't have a mask on [remind them] … None of us really wants to do that because some people are going to give us a bunch of lip."
Nelson said there are still issues of stores in which employees were not wearing masks.
Nelson also told Wood that he may have to touch base with her concerning some of the federal Caronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security [CARES] Act money he has passed on to her, as auditors go over it.
"It's just a formality," he said. "Everything is legal. Ivan has approved it, we've approved it, the treasurer's office has approved it, but the auditors had some questions. When I get those questions, I will call you."
He stressed that the county has been doubly careful in dispensing any of the $2,099,000 the county received, running each possible use past attorney Ivan Schraeder.

The second trip is the Nagaur Relief Ride, which brings riders on an amazing trek from the ancient fort in Pokhran to the historic Nagaur Fort. This adventure is rich with history and offers participants the opportunity to travel through remote, stunning landscapes that have been inhabited for centuries by ancient tribes. The journey will also incorporate important humanitarian efforts that will deliver much-needed relief to the area's current residents. The dates for the Nagaur trip are February 19th through March 4, 2015. Relief Rides are limited to small groups of no more than 12 riders and they book up quickly so immediate reservations are strongly recommended.

3. QUOTATIONS
3.1. Written quotations are valid for 30 days and will be supplied for all work on receipt of a clear and accurate written brief from the Client.

For UAV work, unless otherwise stated, the quotation will be for the amount of aerial photography reasonably achievable within one day.
3.3. The fee quoted will reflect the proposed uses of the images, as stated by the Client, for which Full Personal Reproduction Rights will be granted. A series of assignments are treated as a set of individual contracts. Additional Reproduction Rights may be negotiated at a future date.

6. CANCELLATION BY UK DRONE SURVEYS LIMITED
6.1 If UK Drone Surveys Limited cannot fly due to adverse weather conditions or mechanical failure, and the photo-shoot cannot be rescheduled, UK Drone Surveys Limited will refund all advance monies paid for that day. Costs incurred prior to the photo-shoot day such as paid-for Site visits and meetings are excluded and remain due for payment.
6.2 If UK Drone Surveys Limited cannot fly due to reasons that only become evident once on site or for reasons that UK Drone Surveys Limited was not advised of beforehand then the full cost will remain due for payment.

8. PERMISSION TO CONDUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
8.1 Flight permission is generally granted within a day or so, however, with UAV photography, permission from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), local Police, other authorities and relevant landowners, when needed, can take several weeks (CAA may require up to 28 days written notice of intention to fly). This is usually granted but certain height and/or other conditions may be applied). All work is subject to obtaining permitted and legal access from which to safely operate the UAV equipment.
9. PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL SUPPLIED
9.1 Still photographic or video material will normally be shot on digital camera equipment and supplied as unedited RAW or low compression jpegs. Video material will normally be supplied as unedited content. As a minimum, you will need to put the video through stabilisation software during post-processing to obtain smooth footage. Images will be supplied on CD-ROM or DVD.
9.2 Retouching, digital manipulation and stitching of supplied images are available at an additional cost, when feasible. Whilst we will endeavour to provide an accurate colour rendition of the original scene, we cannot guarantee to match the colour perceived by the human eye. All original photographic material (i.e. negatives, high-resolution digital RAW/tiff files and/or Video) remains the property of UK Drone Surveys Limited.
9.3 Reorders, reprints and enlargements etc. from the original material can be supplied on request. Reorders will be treated as an extension to this contract and should include Image Reference Numbers and are required in writing. A written quotation will then be supplied. Finished materials are normally dispatched within 10 working days of completion of the location work.
10. LEGAL REPRODUCTION RIGHTS, MORAL RIGHTS AND COPYRIGHT (COPYRIGHT, DESIGNS AND PATENTS ACT 1988) AND PROPERTY MISDESCRIPTIONS ACT 1991.
10.1 Limited Reproduction Rights of the commissioned material passes to the Client upon full settlement of the final invoice. This allows reproduction for all uses stated on the Quotation from Us. By default and in the absence of any stated use, this will be 'General Marketing'. 'General Marketing' use excludes use for 'merchandising' (e.g. reproduction of an image for promotion of goods for resale), for which an additional fee will need to be negotiated.
10.2 Unless agreed in advance, use of the images by any third party (including, but not limited to, newspapers, magazines, book publishers, television, film and the Internet) will only be granted following written permission from UK Drone Surveys Limited. This will incur a negotiated Reproduction Fee.
10.3 Subject to Paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2, above, the following two exceptions do not need advance written permission from UK Drone Surveys Limited:-
i. Any third party working directly for the Client such as a Company creating publicity material for the Client incorporating the commissioned material in a General Marketing way.
ii. Newspaper Editorial Content for a news item about the Client provided that the text "Photograph (C) UK Drone Surveys Limited" is clearly visible adjacent to the image for printed content and for online content the aforementioned text is clearly visible and all the text hyperlinks to UK Drone Surveys Home Page (http://www.ukdronesurveys.co.uk/)
10.4 We abide by the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and the Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008. We will not alter our images to deliberately mislead the viewer. We remind users of our images that publishing old images (which were taken much earlier when the views were significantly different), without indicating capture date, could be misleading. Both of these activities may be considered as offences under these Regulations.
10.5 LICENCING
10.5.1 We grant You an exclusive licence to use the commissioned material as agreed in clause 10.1 for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery of the commissioned material from Us to You or from the date that full payment has been received by Us from You for the
commissioned material, whichever is the later.
10.5.2 After the period of the licence as stated in Clause 10.5.1 has expired:
10.5.2.1 We grant You a non-exclusive licence to use the commissioned material in perpetuity and in agreement with Clauses 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. and
10.5.2.2 You agree that We may use the images Ourselves and that We may also licence the images to third parties without reference to You.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, WEATHER, FORCE MAJEURE, ACT OF GOD AND OTHER CONSTRAINTS
11.1 As with any outdoor location photography, a successful outcome depends upon suitable weather conditions. A decision to photograph on a particular day is normally delayed to the last practical moment to maximise the chance of suitable weather. Should the weather on the day not be as forecast and the assignment needs to be postponed, or there is some other reasonably unpredictable reason why the work could not be completed , then either there will be no additional charge to the Client for a return visit to complete the work or the Client can request a full refund of monies paid to UK Drone Surveys Limited in respect of the cancelled time. No refund will be made for any chargeable preparation work already carried out.
11.2 The UAV and camera weigh approximately 4Kg. Whilst the UAV has build-in self-stabilising measures, it is a flying platform and is subject to movement by the wind and will tilt whilst being held against the wind. This will impact on the image quality, steadiness and the angle of the picture(s). We will endeavour to obtain the best quality pictures for the conditions and certain adjustments (such as skew to square up the image) can be made afterwards in post-processing. However, the images and video are not guaranteed to be steady and of broadcast standards (for instance).
11.3 If the work could not be completed due to Client reasons (e.g, but not limited to, lack of access or unscheduled site activity etc), the Client may be charged to recover costs and time.
11.4 UK Drone Surveys Limited will always endeavour to complete its assignments by proposed completion dates. However, due to weather and other operational constraints, UK Drone Surveys Limited cannot guarantee completion on or by any specific date. It, therefore, cannot be held responsible for any missed publishing or other deadlines or any consequential costs involving the timing of the commission.
11.5 The completion of work may be subject to alteration or cancellation due to cause or causes beyond Our control. Certain requested shots from specific locations, directions and heights, quoted to be undertaken, may not be possible on the day for various operational reasons. In this case, the best possible alternative shot(s) will be supplied and these will be deemed to fulfil the contract
11.6 Battery limitations mean that each flight will last a maximum of approximately 15 minutes. This will normally generate up to 12 minutes of photographically usable flight time. After this time, the UAV must descend for a battery change.
11.7 The quality (e.g. exposure and sharpness) of photographs taken after sunset (which require the camera to be relatively still at the point of exposure) cannot be guaranteed and usually will not be attempted. Images required to be taken into the sun will undoubtedly suffer, to some degree, from lens flare and other detrimental effects.
11.8 In exceptional circumstances, UK Drone Surveys Limited may not be able to completely fulfil or complete a contract at all. In these cases, it will refund part or all of any deposit received and not accept any other liability. In any event, the liability of UK Drone Surveys Limited will be limited to the total value of the contract with no liability accepted for indirect and/or consequential loss.
11.9 UK Drone Surveys Limited does not accept liability for errors resulting from incomplete or inaccurate instructions from the Client's written brief, nor for delays or restrictions caused by Air Traffic Control, CAA or the Police or similar Bodies.
11.10 UK Drone Surveys Limited accepts no responsibility or liability for maintaining archive copies of photographic material after the work has been delivered to and accepted by the Client
11.11 UK Drone Surveys Limited has all necessary insurances, including Public Liability Insurance, with an indemnity of up to 5 million pounds.
11.12 UK Drone Surveys Limited does not accept liability for errors resulting from incomplete or inaccurate instructions from the Client's written brief, nor for delays or restrictions caused by Third Parties.
11.13 UK Drone Surveys Limited and its employees and agents shall be under no liability for any injury, loss, or damage of any kind whether direct, consequential or special and howsoever caused resulting from or arising out of or incidental to:
11.13.1 Any negligence on the part of Us or Our employees (except insofar as the same causes death or personal injury) or
11.13.2 Our performance of or failure to perform or breach of any of its express implied obligations under the Contract.
11.14 You shall indemnify Us against any liability whatsoever (including any liability based on the negligence of You) which it may incur resulting from any claim made against You by any third party.
11.15 We accept no liability for delay or non-fulfilment of any term of the Contract caused wholly or in part by "force majeure", which expression shall be deemed to include war, strikes, lockouts, accidents, fire, scarcity or materials or any other cause or causes not within Our direct control.
12.1 No failure or delay on the part of Us to exercise its rights under the Contract shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right exclude any other or further exercise thereof. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of the Contract shall not affect Our rights in the event of any further or additional breach or breaches.
12.2 Notwithstanding termination of the Contract these Conditions shall continue in full force and effect for so long as is necessary after such termination to give full effect to the provisions contained in these Conditions
12.3 The Contract shall be construed in accordance with English law, which shall be the proper law of the Contract, and the English Court shall have sole jurisdiction in relation to the provisions contained in these Conditions.
12.4 The clause headings in these Conditions are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof in any way whatever
12.5 Each and every obligation contained in the clause or sub-clause of these Conditions shall be treated as a separate obligation and shall be severally enforceable as such and the non-enforceability at any time of the clause or sub-clause of these Conditions shall not prejudice the enforceability of the remainder.
12.7 These Conditions are stipulated by Us on Our own behalf and on behalf of all Our employees and agents and apply for the protection of all its employees and agents as for Us. The Customer undertakes not to sue or make any claim whatever against any employee or agent of Us in respect of any alleged negligence or other default of that employee or agent in relation to the carrying out, failure to carry out or breach of any Contract.
12.8 The Customer acknowledges and agrees by placing orders with Us that:
12.8.1 This is a transaction into which both parties are freely entering.
12.8.2 There are clauses contained in these Conditions which exclude, limit or modify the liability of Us and Our employees and agents
12.9 All charges exclude VAT, which will be charged at the prevailing rate if applicable, and are subject to these Terms and Conditions
12.10 The Customer acknowledges that the Customer has read this Agreement and both understands and agrees with Us regarding all of the Terms and Conditions

After posting Clientroute's landing page on Indiehackers last week, I received a lot of great feedback and excitement around the idea. Last weekend, I decided to move away from Trello (for now), and build a simple dashboard for users to plan and manage projects.
I've used Vue.js on a few projects in the past year, and it's pretty safe to say that a project management app is a perfect use-case for Vue.
As for storing data, this is my first time not using a PHP/MySQL back-end and database. I'm using Firebase to handle user authentication, realtime data storage and file uploads. Their documentation is simple and to-the-point, making it pretty easy to be up and running in minutes.
Once the interface was built using HTML/SCSS, I split it into Vue components and added the necessary data and state management to my model. I integrated Firebase into the app, and I was up and running.
"At first, it almost felt like I was cheating."
No mysqli() functions. No complicated INNER JOIN queries. Not even a single $.ajax() call. My Vue data model is pushed to Firebase when changes occur, which in turn, are reflected in realtime for any other users of the app. At first, it almost felt like I was cheating. It's that easy.
Needless to say, development is moving fast. I should be able to open this up for a private beta by early June. I'll be sure to send out an email to subscribers when that happens.

Delaware High Court Clears Way for Coordination of Hedge Fund Investors
Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2010
Author: Mary Flood, Reuters
Attorneys say ruling will facilitate communication among victims of poorly run funds
Attorneys from Houston's Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Anaipakos helped a hedge fund investor earn an important ruling at the Delaware Supreme Court that will allow investors in failed hedge funds to investigate their losses as a group while coordinating potential legal actions.
The law firm represents Brown Investment Management, L.P., a limited partner that lost every penny of an investment with Plano, Texas-based Parkcentral Global in less than 90 days. Parkcentral Global is now a liquidated hedge fund run by affiliates of billionaire and former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot. Court documents show Parkcentral Global's loses at approximately $2.6 billion.
Brown Investment sued Parkcentral Global after the company refused to release a list of its investors based on the argument that the list was protected by federal law. However, in the ruling handed down last week, Delaware's highest civil court ruled that fellow investors have the right to know each other's identities.
"Hedge funds exploded in the last decade because pooled investments provide a largely unregulated way for hedge fund managers to make money for themselves. This ruling helps those who lost money in poorly-managed funds to find other investors and join together to take legal action," says attorney Amir H. Alavi, with Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Anaipakos who tried the case for Brown Investment. "Hedge funds where managers lacked diligence and proper risk analysis can no longer use divide-and-conquer tactics to avoid responsibility for losses."
Mr. Alavi and Demetrios Anaipakos have been handling disputes against hedge funds and private equity firms for more than a decade. Mr. Alavi says Brown Investment has not participated in the class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against Parkcentral Global, but is investigating the hedge fund's auditors and other third parties.
The Delaware Supreme Court opinion affirmed an earlier ruling from the Delaware Court of Chancery. The ruling in Parkcentral Global, L.P. v. Brown Investment Management, L.P., No. 288,2010, was issued Aug. 12, 2010.
Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Anaipakos represents plaintiffs and defendants in securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and other commercial litigation matters. More information about the firm can found at http://www.azalaw.com/index.html.

ED summons film actress Rituparna Senupta in Rose Valley case
10:45 am Jul 11, 2019 |
Kolkata: A day after summoning Bengali superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday called leading actress Rituparna Sengupta for questioning in connection with the Rose Valley Ponzi scam probe.
An ED source confirmed that Sengupta has been asked to appear before the central agency next week.
The ED has asked Chatterjee to depose before its officials on July 19 at its CGO Complex office in Salt Lake on July 19.
The Rose Valley Ponzi schemes scam, run by group's Chairman Gautam Kundu, was unearthed in 2013. The group allegedly floated 27 companies to run various schemes.
It allegedly collected Rs 17,520 crore from depositors in West Bengal, Assam, and Bihar. The Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate have been investing the scam.
The ED had attached assets including resorts, hotels, land parcels worth Rs 2,300 crore and recovered incriminating documents, gold ornaments and precious stones worth Rs 40 crore during searches at showrooms if a jewelry house in connection with the scam.
Kundu was arrested by the ED on March 25, 2015.
Earlier this year, CBI had arrested Bengali film producer Srikant Mohta for allegedly receiving Rs 25 crore from Rose Valley, which had produced a number of Bengali films between 2010-12.

Ambassador, Diplomacy, Finland, Poland
Issue 115, volume 12
Annabelle Chapman
Dappled light from high windows bathes the wooden boards of the sauna inside the Finnish ambassador's residence in Warsaw. The Polish parliament may be nearby but the heated world of politics feels entire countries away. Since moving from Helsinki in 2014, ambassador Hanna Lehtinen has made the sauna her sanctuary – a familiar ritual in a foreign land.
Completed in 1975, the residence, which adjoins the embassy, was designed by Finnish architect Eric Adlercreutz who had previously worked with Alvar Aalto. With its straight lines, panelling and brass fixtures it is smart but also channels Nordic cosiness. A wooden staircase leads down to the sauna and swimming pool. With its fireplace and furniture by Artek (including Aalto's famous tea trolley), the sauna area offers a convivial refuge. "When the residence was built, the diplomats lived a more isolated life," says Lehtinen in reference to the Cold War, when Warsaw was a much greyer city. "The sauna was a place for them to relax."
Even more than that, it was a piece of home: Finland has more than three million saunas for a population of 5.5 million. "The sauna is one of the basic cornerstones of Finnish culture," says Lehtinen. She starts her day with a swim and two or three times a week she fires up the sauna. "In the past, saunas were almost sacred. Women would give birth in them and families cooked there," she says. In decades past they were also the setting for what Lehtinen calls "sauna diplomacy". "It was where confidential discussions were held and deals were made."
After joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the early 1980s, she recalls having to wait for hours for her male colleagues to emerge from the sauna. "Diplomacy is much more gender balanced now," she adds, pointing to how many of Finland's ambassadors are women. Lehtinen's own career has focused on European affairs, with postings in Brussels and work on Finland's accession negotiations before it joined the EU in 1995. She sees parallels with Poland's European trajectory. "Things have happened so quickly here," she says of the changes in the country since the fall of communism in 1989. "There is such dynamism; a hunger to develop."
As Lehtinen prepares to move on from her post in late August, the residence's sauna will become her successor's to enjoy. They'd do well to heed her advice on how to make the most of it: "There are absolutely no rules; this is a place to relax," she says. "Listen to your body and mind."

Lutheran Church Has "Outrageous Obsession With Israel": Christian Media Analyst
By JNS August 31, 2016 BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS
"Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding." Job 36:5 (The Israel Bible™)
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), the largest Lutheran denomination in the U.S., passed two Israel-related resolutions earlier this month at its triennial assembly in New Orleans, La. One resolution established an "investment screen" that will recommend where Lutherans should invest their money with regard to Israel and the Palestinians. The other urged a cutoff of U.S. aid to Israel unless Israel meets a series of conditions and calls for the immediate U.S. recognition of "the state of Palestine."
Dexter Van Zile, a Catholic pro-Israel activist, who monitors and analyzes the Christian media for the Committee on Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) said, "the Lutheran Church has an outrageous obsession with Israel." He told JNS.org the group "has been beating up on Israel for a long time, and this is just the latest example."

David Brog, of Christians United for Israel, said in a statement that the resolutions "blame Israel and only Israel for the conflict in the Middle East. Such one-sided scapegoating of the Jewish state will only fuel further Palestinian rejection and violence."
Lutheran student activist Austin Reid told JNS.org the church's resolutions "send a message of discrimination against Israel and neglect to hold the Palestinian leadership accountable for misguiding the Palestinian people." Reid is an Emerson Fellow at StandWithUs and attends the ELCA-affiliated Capital University in Ohio.
Other observers are more hopeful.
The church setting up an "investment screen," rather than directly calling for a boycott of Israeli products, is a positive development, according to Emily Soloff, the American Jewish Committee's (AJC) associate director of Interreligious and Intergroup relations.
Soloff, who attended the Lutheran conference, called the resolutions "problematic" and come across as one-sided. But, she emphasized, the assembly did not adopt the explicitly pro-BDS language which was proposed by a number of individual church synods, or branches.
Rabbi David Sandmel, director of interfaith affairs for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), conducted a workshop on Lutheran-Jewish relations at the New Orleans conference. He said he was "not thrilled" by the resolutions, but whether the investment screen will lead to divestment "depends on how [it] is structured, and that is not spelled out." He added that the Jewish community "should not leap to conclusions while the jury is still out."
Will "screen" lead to divestment?
Some Israel advocates are pessimistic about the "investment screen."
"[It] is just a step away from boycotting," CAMERA's Van Zile said. "The Lutherans seem to be doing something similar to what the Presbyterians did a few years ago. First, they set up criteria that would disqualify Israel from investments. Then they declared they can't invest in Israel because it doesn't meet the criteria."
An investment screen translates to divestment from Israel, according to the website, Exposing the ELCA, run by Conservative Lutheran dissidents.
"This resolution will be used by the ELCA to divest from Israel and select companies that do business with Israel."
They go further. The resolution says the investment screen must develop "human rights social criteria," which will determine where the church's social-purpose funds should be invested. This is based on concerns raised in an official Lutheran church report.

The report, called the ELCA Middle East Strategy is a 2005 church document that recommended "making consumer decisions that favor support to those in greatest need, e.g. Palestinian providers as distinct from Israel settlers on Palestinian territory."
The document accused Israel of fostering an "environment of oppression," and claimed that Israel's security fence "poses an imminent threat to the future of the church in the Holy Land." The document also complained about the "destructive effect" of Israeli policies on "the ability of Palestinians to marry and raise families."
The marriage and families reference could lay the groundwork for falsely accusing Israel of "genocide," according to some experts. Article two of the definition of genocide adopted by the United Nations in 1948 includes "imposing measures intended to prevent births within [a targeted] group."
The language choice raises the danger that the Lutheran church "may falsely allege, or at least imply, that Israel is guilty of genocide," Prof. Elihu Richter, director of the Jerusalem Center for Genocide Prevention, told JNS.org. That allegation could then be used as a basis for denying U.S. aid to Israel and justifying a Lutheran boycott of Israeli companies or products.
Ignoring Palestinian abuses
The second ELCA resolution calls on the Obama administration to present a plan for establishing an "independent" and "viable" Palestinian state, with a "shared Jerusalem" as its capital. The Lutherans also urge the president to extend diplomatic recognition to the "state of Palestine" immediately, rather than wait for the issue to be negotiated between the parties, as the U.S. and Israel prefer.
On U.S. aid to Israel, the resolution asserts the U.S. should halt all military and financial assistance unless Israel agrees to "comply with internationally recognized human rights standards as specified in existing U.S. law, stop settlement building and the expansion of existing settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, end its occupation of Palestinian territory, and enable an independent Palestinian state."
Pro-Israel activists see those terms as blatantly one-sided. Former Assistant Secretary of State Elliot Abrams, writing in Newsweek, called the ELCA "a church in decline but one whose enthusiasm for attacks on Israel never wanes." He noted when the Lutherans refer to construction in eastern Jerusalem, they are referring to "just construction by Jews," with no mention of Palestinian construction in the city. Likewise, the resolution targets U.S. aid to Israel, but ignores U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority, which is approximately $500 million annually.
The church's reference to "human rights standards" likewise reflects a double standard, Abrams writes. "These requirements apply to one single country: Israel. In a world awash in repression and human rights violations, only Israel."
In its latest annual report on global human rights, the U.S. State Department found that the Palestinian Authority carries out "arbitrary arrests based on political affiliation," engages in "torture and abuse" of prisoners, "restricts freedom of speech and press…through harassment, intimidation and arrest, discriminates against women," accuses victims of sexual harassment of "provoking men's harassing behavior," and "rarely punishes perpetrators of family violence."
In the Lutheran resolutions, there was no mention of the PA's behavior.
The ADL's Rabbi Sandmel said Palestinian human rights violations were "not mentioned" either by the delegates, who attended his workshop, nor the Lutheran church professionals with whom he spoke individually. It would have been "helpful" and "more balanced" if the Lutherans "showed as much interest in Palestinian violations as they do in Israeli violations," he added.
Soloff, of the AJC Committee, told JNS.org that she did not hear any delegates discussing Palestinian human rights violations during the sessions she attended. She believes "there was a consciousness of Palestinian corruption" that was not articulated. Soloff said the failure to acknowledge the PA's human rights abuses was "disappointing," but "in the larger picture, the ELCA did demonstrate a much more nuanced and balanced approach between Israel and the Palestinians than some other mainline Protestant churches have done."
Pro-Palestinian activists pleased
Supporters of the resolutions see the ELCA's positions as consistent with the pro-BDS stance of other churches. The group, Isaiah 58, a Lutheran faction that lobbied for the resolutions, issued a statement declaring, "the ELCA adds its own voice and approach to the growing number of U.S. churches that have endorsed economic acts of conscience in support of Palestinian freedom and human rights."
The group hailed the "investment screen" resolution as "an important step to ensure that we are not profiting from" Israel's "nearly half-century-old military occupation of Palestinian lands," according to a prepared statement.
Similarly, The Electronic Intifada, a leading pro-Palestinian website, praised the resolutions as "a massive shift" demonstrating "the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has become the latest U.S. denomination to take economic action against the Israeli occupation." In 2013 at the previous ELCA assembly, 70 percent of the delegates voted against an "investment screen" resolution, the website pointed out.

Meanwhile, the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., the United Church of Christ, and the Quakers have all endorsed divesting from Israel. The Episcopal Church has rejected divestment, while the Mennonite Church has delayed a decision until 2017. The United Methodist Church's pension fund dropped five Israeli banks from its investment portfolio in January. However, in May, the Methodists' national conference voted to reject BDS.
Future of Lutheran-Jewish relations
The ADL's Rabbi Sandmel is focused on what he sees as indications that "there is opportunity for conversation [with Lutheran leaders] about some of these issues." He said "for someone like me, who has pretty close relationships with these folks, it's important to recognize it's not just the text of the resolutions that matter, but also their broader context and how the dynamics within the church will affect future contacts between church leaders and the Jewish community."
Some activists are skeptical about those relationships.
CAMERA's Van Zile said, "Some Jewish leaders are reluctant to criticize the Lutherans, because they want to maintain good relations with their few remaining allies within the denomination. But nobody should be fooled. The anti-Israel activists within the Lutheran Church have been in the driver's seat for a long time."
Still, Sandmel said he's encouraged that in the background material for the Israel-Palestinian resolutions, the ELCA acknowledged that "some Jewish leaders have interceded with the U.S. government, some directly with the government of Israel" in connection with "the critical funding for the ministries of Augusta Victoria Hospital," a Lutheran-sponsored medical center in east Jerusalem.
The hospital was in danger of closing in 2014 because the Palestinian Authority refused to pay the more than $25 million that was owed in unpaid bills for treatment of Palestinians whom the PA sent there. ELCA officials successfully lobbied the Obama administration and the European Union to pay the PA's bill.
It has not been previously reported that Jewish leaders were involved in that lobbying effort, nor have those leaders or their organizations been identified.
The ELCA cited the episode as evidence of the benefits resulting from having the church "serve as a place where the concerns of Palestinian Lutherans and the concerns of American Jews have been in conversation."

Last weekend, 45 hackathon enthusiasts gathered in Helsinki for AtmosHack, a challenge that encouraged participants to create solutions that help people reduce their exposure to air pollutants and ultraviolet radiation in their daily lives.
AtmosHack was jointly organised by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) – which is implemented by ECMWF on behalf of the European Union – the European Organisation for Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) and the University of Helsinki. Hackathon organisers Ultrahack also played a key role in setting up and running the event. All organisers agreed that the challenge was a resounding success, with ten fantastic projects developed, some of which are likely to go on to enjoy commercial success.
Participants worked hard on their air pollution mitigation projects for two days.
After almost two days of hacking, on Sunday afternoon teams pitched their projects to a team of expert judges from CAMS, EUMETSAT and FMI. Although all projects were excellent, team AeroZee was selected as the overall winner with their application that combines a variety of different air pollution data with information on city vegetation health to help people make informed decisions about where to live in a city based on air pollution levels. AeroZee's prizes include a place on the Copernicus Accelerator Programme and €3000 in cash.
The winning team was made up of Aschwin van der Woude – an entrepreneur running the UrbanZee project, Mio Kasai – a business exchange student, and Semko Aiyubi – a statistician.
Team AeroZee were the overall winners of the hackathon.
AeroZee will be documenting their progress through the Accelerator Programme with a video diary, which will provide insight into how their project progresses over the next ten months. The Accelerator will kick-off at the European Space Week in Marseille on 3 December, where AeroZee will be paired with a mentor who will help them develop their idea. The team will be given one year's free access to the WEkEO platform – the EU Copernicus Data Information and Access Service – which will provide them with environmental data, virtual processing environments and skilled user support.
This weekend's solutions to air quality problems were created in part using data provided by the EU's Copernicus Programme, which includes satellite observations of the atmosphere, ground-based air quality data, and air quality analyses and forecasts produced by CAMS. The teams all used these data in different ways, including to create mobile applications that help citizens visualise the air pollution around them, to track emissions from ships and construction sites, and to help citizens understand the effect that air pollution has on their bodies. Teams also used data from EUMETSAT, the Sentinel-5P satellite, the Finnish SMEAR stations implemented by the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research, and more.
Teams demonstrated their projects to expert judges from CAMS, EUMETSAT and FMI.
