There is a three year statutory time limit for making a claim for compensation in England and Wales. In general, time begins to run from the date you were diagnosed with an asbestos related injury; however there are circumstances where this rule does not apply.
Sometimes it is not known at the time of death that the sufferer died from an asbestos related illness. In these circumstances you have three years from the date of death or three years from the date you knew or ought to have known that the sufferer died from an asbestos related illness to bring a claim for compensation.
If you or a member of your family has been diagnosed with an asbestos related illness, it is worth discussing your unique set of circumstances with one of our asbestos specialists who will be happy to guide you through what is involved in making a claim for compensation and any benefits you may be entitled to.

I came across two curse words in one of my readings. The curse words, well to me, is vanity press. When I was first starting out I had no problem having them contact me. There are a variety of these publishers out there.
You can either be traditional, self published or both. Then you have the vanity houses. But not all publishing houses are the same. Some will ask for money up front. This is also known as vanity press. To be honest they are not interested in what your book is about or if it has promise. They are about the money and how they can get you to work with them, for them and eventually pay them.
Knowing about them early on gave me better protection. However, the last few months I have been hearing writers talk about them like it is a good thing. Let me say up front if this is where you want to go then hey it's your money. But the bottom line is there are so many other avenues to getting your work out there.
You have traditional and self publishing which continues to evolve as the years go by. Stigmas on either has also evolves some for the better some not so much. But there is not a need to spend hard earn money to get your book out. Not every writer has the funds to do so, and even if the desire to get your book out is strong and it is for all of us, be careful where you place your baby.
It took you a long time to write it, edit it, revise it, edit it again, revise it again and finally get it in the best shape you can get it in. Why place it in the hands of people who to be quite blunt don't care about your storyline but more about your wallet.


Lots of stick & rag in the above photo, ex Lew Redwood fb, its dated Jan. 1948 & the caption reads 'Trans Tasman Race'.
What interests me today is the name of the launch in the foreground of the photo – looks familiar with that unusual shaped, raised wheel house. Looks slightly automobile in design.

With competition on the steady rise and employers having higher employment standards and requirements, pursuing a fire science degree is helpful for all prospective firefighters these days. This is especially the case if you're looking to fill higher roles such as management, supervisory, or leadership positions within the fire department. Both two and four-year programs are available for aspiring fire service professionals.
High school graduates thinking about pursuing a career in fire science but not 100% committed to the field will benefit by enrolling in an associate degree program. Usually, this program takes two years of full-time study to complete, and is much more affordable than a Bachelor's degree or higher. Students can also get their elective and general education courses out of the way at lower tuition rates.
At the associate level, students can expect to dabble in topics including emergency services, first-response medical care, and fire personnel on a basic level. Basically, this degree gives students a basic overview of fire science. To-be firefighters may also learn about fire behavior, fire prevention techniques and strategies, and protection systems, for example. Graduates of the A.S. degree will have a working foundation of the firefighting field and be able to perform well as an entry-level firefighter.
Once students get a good taste of what the profession entails, they can decide whether or not they want to continue their education and earn a Bachelor's degree, which will open up more employment avenues for them to explore.
An associate degree will suffice if you want to be a firefighter, but in order to take on higher roles that require more specialization or leadership skills, one will be expected to have a Bachelor's degree when applying for those jobs. Students at the Bachelor's level will be expected to learn topics at the associate level but delve in deeper. Additionally, they may be given the option to pick a specialization within fire science studies that would best fit their long-term career goals.
Bachelor's degree programs may involve general classes in addition to coursework in higher-level topics like engineering, environmental science, and OSHA regulations. Specific course requirements will differ from state to state and from college to college, so it is critical for students to do thorough research and even speak with several college advisors to make sure they know what they are getting into by choosing a specific college to earn their Bachelor's degree in fire science.
A Master's degree is useful for students aiming to take on managerial or supervisory roles within the fire department. The Master's degree programs will prepare graduate students with the advanced skills necessary for advancement to leadership positions.
Master's degrees usually take anywhere from two to three years of full-time study to finish, depending on the scope of the program and student schedules. Those already with an undergraduate degree can transition into their Master's degree studies, or can choose to work a few years to gain some experience as an entry-level firefighter before returning to finish their graduate degrees.
Why Pick an Accredited College?
When researching colleges, it is critical to make sure that your list of colleges are accredited. Accreditation ensures that institutions, degree programs, and classes meet or exceed certain designated standards set by independent accrediting agencies. By meeting these set standards, it means that they are up-to-date and of high-quality. Students can be assured that they are receiving a quality education for what they are investing in monetarily.
Choosing an accredited college means that college credits can be easily transferred to another accredited college in the future should you choose to move and continue your fire science education elsewhere. These credits usually do not transfer if you attend a non-accredited college, and employers are much more likely to recognize your hard work and degree if you graduate from an accredited college.
Don't procrastinate. Many college students have a habit of waiting until the last minute to complete assignments or study for exams. By starting early, students avoid having the last-minute anxiety and can study with a clear and open mind. By not procrastinating, students allow themselves time to ask questions or attend professors' office hours as needed to get class material clarified.
Form study groups with other students. Study groups are a great way to not only network with other peers, but also to get active studying going on. With other people around, you'll be held accountable to study and discuss class topics.
Make use of professors' office hours. Did you know that by paying for tuition, you're paying for one-on-one attention from your professors? Even if you attend a large college, you can get personalized class attention by taking the extra mile to attend office hours to chat about class materials or get something clarified before an exam. Not only will you be doing yourself a favor, you will surely make a great impression to professors who may in turn be happy to give you references in the future on a need-basis.
Take advantage of available resources. Whether it be after-school tutoring on campus or student groups, be sure to maximize your usage when it comes to resources — after all, you're paying a premium for your college education!
Remember to take good care of yourself. It's easy to get bogged down with projects, homework, and studying, but it's important to set aside time to make sure you are eating right and squeezing in at least thirty minutes a day for physical activity of some sort. It could be as easy as a walk out at the park or yoga at home. Also, remember to get enough rest so that your mind can think clearly on the next school day!
Make sure your classes will transfer. By attending accredited colleges, you shouldn't have too much of a problem with this one, but it's always safe and smart to talk with an advisor every now and then to make sure that your classes will transfer in the event that you move or choose to go to a different school to study fire science. This way, you won't have to retake classes that have technically already been completed!
Use a planner. With so many things going on in a student's life, it is extremely useful to have a planner to keep track of all upcoming due dates, exams, and student activities.

First, what are vinyl gloves? Vinyl gloves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are latex-free (made from synthetic rubber). Since vinyl gloves are not form-fitting, they fit more loosely than latex and nitrile and will cost less. Also, the level of protection is much lower than using latex or nitrile. They are normally used for cleaning, food prep, and other industrial environments. They will puncture easier than latex or nitrile.
What amount of protection are you looking for?
Are you allergic to any materials that the glove is made from?
The quality of the glove and how it's made?
The comfort of the glove?
The size of the glove?
If protection is your major concern, there a few things you should know about Latex, Nitrile, and Vinyl gloves how they're made. There are three standard measures that protective gloves are scaled upon.
Medical Grade – (Nitrile Gloves) For medical use. Highest grade of protection. These gloves are thoroughly tested to pass FDA requirements and exceed a broad range of demanding specifications.
High Risk – (Latex Gloves) For use in the emergency medical services fields. High levels of testing are required to assure proper requirements.
Utility Grade – (Vinyl Gloves) Not intended for medical use and not tested for FDA specifications. These gloves are great if detail is a necessity. Normally used for painting and general hand protection. They are manufactured to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) specifications.
Here is a table covering the strengths and weaknesses of certain gloves.
Powdered Vinyl Gloves – Cornstarch is often added to vinyl gloves to make putting on the glove as smooth as possible. A powdered glove will usually cost less than non-powdered.
Glove Size – Most gloves are available in XS, small, medium, large, and XL sizes. Gloves can be manufactured with different cuff lengths, textures, thickness and other characteristics. Use the bullet list below to determine the size you'll need.
Use a tape measure to determine your correct hand circumference in inches. Measure at the widest part of the hand.
The chart below shows you how to find the glove size closest to the hand measurements in inches.
Sizes may vary among manufacturers and styles.
Make sure not be store vinyl gloves under conditions of excess heat or light, since this will cause more rapid rubber degradation.

Q: Custom File comparator in Groovy giving GroovyCastException I am trying to do a custom file sort with Groovy in a Jenkins environment. Even before putting in any special condition, I get an exception.
File applicationsFolder = new File(GENERATION_FOLDER, "apks");
File[] applications = applicationsFolder.listFiles().sort({ lhs, rhs ->
    lhs.compareTo(rhs)
});

Gives me the following :
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object '7' with class 'java.lang.Integer' to class 'java.io.File'

Is the syntax correct? I don't see where any integer is implied in what I've written above...
Thanks!
Edit: Note that applicationsFolder.listFiles() does indeed return a list of 5 File objects representing folders (the listed folder contains only subfolders). Note also that applicationsFolder.listFiles().sort() alone returns the expected result. Things get complicated only with the Comparator...

Falling in love with the Chalke Valley History Festival
Chalke Valley History Festival 2017
8 July 2017 / 0 Comments
Submitted by Debbie Kilroy on 8 July 2017
We like to do things on the weekend. It gets the kids away from the TV and iPads, and provides us with an excuse for forgetting the housework. So for months – since the programme for the 2017 Chalke Valley History Festival was released in March – we'd ummed and ahhed over whether it was worthwhile going. Two hours' driving seemed a lot when we wouldn't actually be able to attend any talks. But then a few days beforehand we looked at the optimistic weather forecast and realised the festival was in effect providing a babysitting service (for six to twelve year olds) and thought 'why not?' A day trip quickly turned into an over-nighter when we spotted Tom Holland giving a child-friendly talk on King Arthur, and our weekend plans were complete.
Soldiers of the Napoleonic era
Chalke Valley History Festival is designed to inspire, excite, and inform. Established in 2011 as a fundraiser for the local cricket club, the festival has rapidly grown in size to become the largest festival dedicated to history in the UK. With a comprehensive programme of speakers lined up for the whole week, it also has living history, 'pop-up' free talks, air displays, and family activities, including sword school and interactive First World War trench experiences. Situated in the Chalke Valley in Wiltshire, the site stretches over several acres, providing space for scores of tents for everything from talks given to over 500 people to individual re-enactment pitches. Shops, a bar, and food stalls make it very easy to spend money: authors after delivering their speech will wander over to the Waterstones tent where they sign copies of their books, and the wide-range of food on offer covers everything from sit-down dining to fish and chips and super-hot Caribbean curries.
Learning how to defuse bombs in WWII
Sadly, as we didn't feel comfortable – or able – to take the children out of school for more than an afternoon, we missed a fantastic line-up of speakers during the first part of the week. These included David Horspool on Oliver Cromwell, Andrew Marr on the history of modern Britain, Paul Cartledge on Herodotus, Suzannah Lipscomb on Shakespeare, James Daybell and Sam Willis on histories of the unexpected, Paddy Ashdown on spies during the Second World WarA global war that lasted from 1939 until 1945., Harriet Harman on women in politics, and Diarmaid MacCulloch on the ReformationThe split from the Roman Catholic Church of protestants, inspired by people such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Huldrych Zwingli.The split from the Roman Catholic Church of protestants, inspired by people such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Huldrych Zwingli.. These represent just 7% of the talks on offer during the week.
But we did manage to attend three talks over the weekend: Tom Holland's introduction to the legends of King Arthur that he managed to keep clean; Nicholas Crane providing a whistle-stop tour of the landscape of Britain from the last ice ageA time when it was very cold and glaciers extended down from the North Pole. See 'A Brief History of Climate Change'.A time when it was very cold and glaciers extended down from the North Pole. See 'A Brief History of Climate Change'. to the present; Condensing approximately 17,000 years into 60 minutes, which worked out at about 280 years per minute. and James Holland interviewing Katrin Himmler, great-niece of Heinrich. Each one, although loosely connected to history, was fascinating in its own right, providing insight on subjects to which we perhaps hadn't previously given much thought. For events that wouldn't interest the kids, we booked them into the children's activity tent. Spaces were limited, but the staff and volunteers were properly trained and fully-checked, and the children had a whale of a time, listening to stories, making treasure boxes and fans, and playing with others their own age. Unfortunately, some of the activities, such as 'espionage' and sword-making were already fully booked. Next year we will have to be a bit more decisive!Emerging from the tents, we found re-enactors teaching us how to dispose of Second World War bombs, battles from the Napoleonic WarsThe Napoleonic Wars lasted from 1803 until 1815 (although some people also include the French Revolutionary Wars in this, which started in 1792 and continued until 1802. The Napoleonic Wars were therefore a continuation of the Revolutionary Wars).

The Napoleonic Wars were therefore a continuation of the Revolutionary Wars). A number of European powers fought against the…, the History Tellers entertaining us with weird and wonderful tales, Viking parades, and Charlie Higson doing impromptu stand-up. It was a feast for eyes and ears as much as it was for the brain.
The History Tellers
What's more, tickets and entry didn't cost the earth. Family entry to the festival alone was £33 per day, although it was free to those booked into events, which cost anywhere between £8 and £13.75 per person. Plus the money raised goes to a good cause, with all proceeds from the festival going towards promoting history, particularly to children. Admittedly, the talks weren't of the cosy, intimate nature that one finds with smaller literary festivals, book-seller events, or the likes of the History Masterclass, but the sound worked and there was still the chance to ask questions at the end.
Loads of interesting things for kids to do
A festival – particularly one set in a field – tends to bring up images from my youth: loud, obnoxious, uncomfortable, and dirty. The Chalke Valley History Festival is nothing like this. The site is spotless and meticulously cared for; parking is easy; and the toilets have minimal queues, are clean, and well-maintained. Although many of the talks are aimed at an adult audience, there is definitely a family feel to the festival – it seems safe and welcoming. Unlike other field-based festivals, there is not camping onsite, although there is a campsite within walking distance (which is a little on the pricey side). For those who don't like camping, or would rather have a private bathroom and comfortable bed for the same price, Salisbury is just down the road with a range of hotels.
A history of comedy with Charlie Higson
It's difficult to find fault with Chalke Valley History Festival. Perhaps, as with someone newly in love, I'm looking at it through rose-tinted spectacles. Getting to the site is a bit of a pain, both in terms of its immediate vicinity and its distance from where I live. Accommodation is necessary, which increases the cost of the event, and the food and drink is expensive – a small fish and chips was £7, and a pint of beer over £5. But overall, the value for money is excellent, the things to see and do almost endless (and certainly too much to fit into a day and a half), and the fun factor for the whole family is high. My only problem now is working out how I can get the children out of school for longer next year!

Having read history at the University of Birmingham as an undergraduate, where I won the Kenrick Prize, I worked as a trouble-shooter in the public sector until I took a career break in 2009. Thereafter, I was able to pursue my love of history and turn it into a career, founding Get History in 2014 with the aim of bringing accessible yet high quality history-telling and debate to a wide audience. Since then, I have completed a Masters in Historical Studies at the University of Oxford, from which I received a distinction and the Kellogg College Community Engagement and Impact Award. As well as continuing to write for and expand Get History, I am now a freelance writer and historian. I have worked with Histories of the Unexpected and Inside History, and my article for Parliaments, Estates and Representation won the ICHRPI Emile Lousse essay prize (2019).

About Get History


From Randy Alcorn's blog at: www.epm.org , August 15, 2014, written by Eternal Perspectives Ministries employee Tami Yeager, who is also a volunteer at Voice of the Martyrs organization.
The Voice of The Martyrs USA ministry office in Bartlesville, Oklahoma has a Martyrs Monument. Displayed on that monument are the names of many martyrs, each one representing a real person with a real story. I love to stand near this memorial and slowly read the names and brief descriptions. During a recent visit I found myself once again drawn to the monument. On this particular day there was one memorial stone that stood out to me. It simply read A Nigerian Woman.
Unlike the others, her name had not been inscribed in the beautiful stone slab. She had been beaten to death by an angry mob before the authorities could learn her name. I wondered what she looked like, and how old she was. She was someone's daughter. Did she have sisters and brothers? Was she married, and did she have children? These are questions I will not know the answers to on this side of eternity.
I imagined what her village may have looked like and wondered what must have taken place in her life leading up to that day in 2006. I wondered how she had been prepared for that moment. Did she wake up on that fateful morning with a sense that this day would be different? Was it customary for her to share her faith with others? Surely she knew that sharing Christ with her Muslim neighbors could cost her. I believe she had counted the cost, and was well acquainted with the price one could pay. I imagine love was her motivator, and its weight far outweighed her fear.
Did people silently slip into their homes as voices began to rise in the streets that day? Were children warned to hide in the dark, and be still? As an evil hatred raged hot amongst the mob that surrounded her, did those who believed as she did stay silent? Was her body left in the dust of the street for days as a warning to others who might have otherwise been swayed to believe as she did? Like Stephen in the book of Acts, was she looking into heaven while they beat her? Were the painful blows from many fists and feet brought to an abrupt halt as she surrendered her spirit, exhaling her last earthly breath, and simultaneously taking in her first heavenly breath?
What was it like for her to open her eyes and find that she was now in the arms of the One whom she had exchanged her life for? Standing to receive her white robe, did she recognize some of those who surrounded her? Did she then hear the cheers from a great cloud of witnesses that had been ever so faint before, and now could be heard with vivid clarity? Was she overcome with indescribable joy, peace, and happiness at the sound of the King's words, "Well done my good and faithful servant, now take your place and wait a little longer"?
I wonder who among the angry mob walked away that day unable to shake what they witnessed in her. She had been faithful unto death. Were there some who closed their eyes that night unable to escape the images now playing in their minds? Were the words she spoke to them being repeated in their thoughts? Were any of those who took part in her murder later visited in dreams and visions by the One she told them about? Would some of those who hit her, kicked her, spit upon her, and cursed her later fall on their knees and cry out for forgiveness?
The truth is I do not know any more about the Nigerian woman's story then what is written in stone. I am, however, keenly aware that in many places of the world today suffering for the sake of the gospel is "normal" Christianity. The little I do know of my Nigerian sister fuels a passion in me to give her, and others like her, a voice. I look forward to the day I meet my sister. It is then that I will learn all of her story.
Matthew 5:10 — Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Acts 7:55-60 — Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him… While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Psalm 63:3a — O God,… Thy lovingkindness is better than life.
Revelation 6:11 — Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters—their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.


Supporters cheer while waiting for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to speak at a caucus-night watch party at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Feb. 23, 2016.
"In an election season dominated by racist and xenophobic language on the right, Donald Trump distinguishes himself even among his more outspoken Republican challengers," Inae Oh reported Wednesday for Mother Jones. "And according to a New York Times analysis of voters, so do his supporters, a majority of whom carry deeply intolerant attitudes toward gay people, Muslims, immigrants, and African Americans.
"In fact, the report found 20 percent of Trump's base disagree with the freeing of slaves after the Civil War, and a staggering 70 percent would still like to see the Confederate flag flying above official grounds in their states.
"One-third of Trump's primary supporters in South Carolina favored 'barring gays and lesbians from entering the country.' According to the Times, this is more than twice the support this proposal received by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio backers.
The New York Times issued two caveats in its report on intolerance among Trump supporters.
"New data from YouGov and Public Policy Polling show the extent to which he has tapped into a set of deeply rooted racial attitudes," Lynn Vavreck wrote Tuesday.
"More than three decades before he became a familiar face on Sunday morning shows, cable television news and the late-night comedy circuit, Bernie Sanders made no secret of his contempt for commercial TV," Jason Horowitz reported Tuesday for the New York Times.
"He may have softened his language, but Mr. Sanders's critique of the news media, as in nearly everything else, has remained constant as he has risen over the last 40 years from radical protester and protest candidate to mayor, congressman, senator and now a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president. Despite the advent of the Internet, the diminishing of traditional news media companies and the emergence of new media Goliaths like Facebook that have helped fuel his rise, Mr. Sanders remains orthodox in his mass media doctrine.

Kenny Irby, a longtime Poynter Institute faculty member who was forced out last year amid financial challenges, has been hired as community intervention director for the city of St. Petersburg, Fla., a newly created post, Charlie Frago reported Tuesday for the Tampa Bay Times.
"Irby, 54, worked for Poynter as a visual journalism and diversity senior faculty member between 1995 and 2015. He is also a pastor at Bethel AMEC who has spent eight years as the state director of men's ministry and youth outreach for the church, setting up chaplain programs, peer-to-peer mentoring and other programs across the state.
"Most recently, he formed 'Men in the Making,' a program which pairs 30 kids with 17 role-models and meets regularly at St. Petersburg College's Midtown campus.
While at Poynter, Irby founded and led The Write Field program, which uses writing to connect with middle-school African American youths in St. Petersburg, Fla., the Poynter Institute's hometown. Poynter owns the Tampa Bay Times. Irby had been a fixture at Poynter since 1995.
His departure prompted a backlash in which some black community members objected so much to Poynter's change in the program that by Irby's count, all but two of the mentors refused to work without him.
Christopher Warren was chosen as the mentorship program's new director, hired as a contract worker.
Frago's report continued, "Roy Peter Clark, vice president and senior scholar at Poynter, said Irby is a perfect fit for a difficult task.

The award for foreign reporting is to be shared by a team of four reporters from the Associated Press, "Margie Mason, Robin McDowell, Martha Mendoza and Esther Htusan, for a series on the Thai fishing industry, 'Seafood from Slaves,' and Ian Urbina of The New York Times for 'The Outlaw Ocean,' a six-part series that portrayed a largely unchecked pattern of lawlessness on the high seas. "The AP reporters documented the plight of impoverished men from Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand lured into captivity, locked in cages, beaten, and forced to perform dangerous work with little sleep to catch and process seafood destined for U.S. consumers and their pets. They found the graves of some workers who did not survive, buried on a remote island under false names. As a result of the AP reporting, more than 2,000 captives were released, ships were seized, and businesses closed, American companies faced calls to cease selling slave-tainted seafood, and authorities in Washington, at the United Nations, and across Asia began seeking new ways to confront and control the abuses. . . ."
"The award for National Reporting will go to The Washington Post for an exhaustive study of killings by police officers. The project found that 990 people were shot and killed by on-duty police officers in the U.S. in 2015 and also produced a trove of original data. After discovering that FBI statistics on deaths at police hands were unreliable and incomplete, the Post assigned staffers from across the newsroom to compile and analyze their own list.

Hannah-Jones, who is now on the staff of The New York Times, had just spent 18 months studying the re-segregation of American education for ProPublica.

Fats Domino was one of the most popular rockers of the 1950s and early 60s. His achievements and record sales during that time were rivaled only by Elvis Presley.

About Jadavpur University
To trace the history of Jadavpur University is to trace a part of India's freedom movement, at least from the Swadeshi Movement onwards. It was 1905 -1906
Bengal stood divided. The times were feverish.
The hegemony of the British establishment had to be challenged. Education had to play a new role in this changed scenario. It had to become a new form of resistance through which the emergent nationalist spirit could be propagated. With this in mind the National Council of Education (NCE) came into being.
Its primary aim was to impart education - literary, scientific and technical on national lines exclusively under national control. To achieve self-reliance, through education. The foundation of the NCE was made possible by the munificence - scholarly as well as monetary - of the likes of Raja Subodh Chandra Mallik , Brajendra Kishore Roychowdhury of Gouripur as well as Sir Rash Behari Ghosh (first President of NCE), poet Rabindranath Tagore and Sri Aurobindo Ghosh.
In 1910 the Society for the Promotion of Technical Education in Bengal which looked after Bengal Technical Institute (which later became College of Engineering and Technology, Bengal) was amalgamated to NCE. NCE henceforth looked after the College of Engineering and Technology, Bengal which by 1940 was virtually functioning as a University. After Independence, the Government of West Bengal, with the concurrence of the Govt. of India, enacted the necessary legislation to establish Jadavpur University on the 24th of December 1955.
Now Jadavpur University has successfully established itself as a foremost Indian University with a vast repertoire of courses offered, an enviable list of faculty members and has come to be known for its commitment towards advanced study and research.

Economic forecasts suggest that a steady increase in traveling passenger and air cargo requirements will fuel a dramatic expansion of the aviation industry, and require a complete restructure of the existing air transportation system architecture. This industry growth is generating a wide range of leadership opportunities in the aviation industry for individuals who possess aviation and aerospace management skills such as operational analysis, safety systems development, project management, systems integration, environmental sustainability, and related interdisciplinary skills. Each MS degree is specific to the needs of the student based on his/her background, experience, and degree objectives.
Purdue's School of Aviation and Transportation Technology also offers a combined BS-MS degree within this program. Those with a master's degree can continue on to pursue a Ph.D. in Technology with a focus in aviation and aerospace management as well.

Salmã, o Persa (; ) foi um dos sahaba (ou "companheiros") do profeta Maomé, e uma figura importante na história do islamismo.

Durante alguns de seus encontros posteriores com os outros dos sahaba foi chamado de Abu Abedalá ("Pai de Abedalá").

Biografia
Salmã, o Persa nasceu com o nome persa de Rouzbeh, na cidade de Kazerun, situada na atual província de Pérsis, no Irã. Salmã teria sido um dos inventores da ideia de construir o fosso, na Batalha da Trincheira. Enquanto algumas fontes o agrupam com os muhajirun, imigrantes de Meca que teriam seguido a Hégira de Maomé, rumo a Medina, outras fontes narram que durante esta batalha um destes muhajirun teria afirmado que Salmã era um deles, ao que foi questionado pelos muçulmanos de Medina (ansar); seguiu-se uma discussão entre os dois grupos, cada um afirmando que Salmã pertencia aos seus, até que Maomé chegou e presenciou o conflito. Intrigado com as alegações, logo pôs um fim à discussão ao dizer: "Salmã não é nem muhajir nem ansar; ele é um de nós. Ele é uma das "pessoas da Casa" (ahl al-Bayt)."

De acordo com os muçulmanos sunitas, Salmã teria jurado lealdade a Abacar, juntamente com Ali por um período de seis meses depois da morte de Maomé. De acordo com os xiitas, Salmã teria dado sua lealdade apenas a Ali, ao se tornar um dos seus xiitas.

Salmã, o Persa morreu durante o reinado do terceiro califa, Otomão. Existe alguma controvérsia a respeito de sua idade ao morrer; foi enterrado na antiga cidade de Ctesifonte, no atual Iraque. Embora hoje em dia a cidade só exista na forma de ruínas, ainda existe uma aldeia nas proximidades chamada Salman Pak.

Legado

O memorial erguido em sua honra foi atacado em 26 de fevereiro de 2006, e parece ter sido destruído na violência que se seguiu à destruição da Mesquita de Al-Askari. Uma sepultura sua também é exibida em Lida, na Palestina, dentro do bairro moderno chamado Ramat Eshkol.

Traduziu parte do Corão para o persa, tornando-se assim a primeira pessoa a interpretar as escrituras sagradas do islamismo para um idioma estrangeiro.

No xiismo e no sufismo
Os xiitas têm uma visão muito favorável de Salmã. É mencionado num dos hádices, que aborda o xiita perfeito.

Já os sufistas também o vêem de maneira favorável; para as ordens Oveyssi-Shahmaghsoudi e Naqshbandi, Salmã é a terceira pessoa na corrente espiritual que liga os devotos a Maomé.

Antonín Dvořák composed his String Quartet No. 13 in G major, Op. 106, (B. 192), between November 11 and December 9, 1895. 1895 was an eventful year for him: he returned to Europe from America in April, and his sister-in-law (who had been his first love) died in May. Upon finishing No. 13, he took back up his No. 14 (Op. 105) in A-flat major, which he had begun before this quartet and finished it on December 30 of that year. The quartet in G major was given its first performance by the Bohemian Quartet in Prague, on October 9th 1896.
The 'playful, fluttering principal theme with which the movement opens' is followed by a seemingly remote second theme and countermelody, all of which becomes subject to some 'masterly' development (Šourek).
Described by Šourek as 'one of the loveliest and most profound slow movements in Dvorak's creation'.
More like a rondo, with episodes in A flat major and D major for trios, than a typical scherzo (as is more often found in this place in a string quartet in the Romantic music era).

LAND ROVER SPECIAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS: WHAT DOES THE SVO BADGE STAND FOR?
If you were among the millions of people who watched the royal wedding, you may have noticed the vast number of Land Rover vehicles present during the ceremonies. The pre-eminence of vehicles from this luxury British brand was no doubt a nod to their long-standing association with the royal family. In fact, Land Rover supplied the first bespoke 'State Review' car for the Royal Family in 1953, and it is one of the two automotive companies to hold all three Royal Warrants from Her Majesty The Queen, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
A SUCCESS STORY
Setting aside nationalistic considerations, one can assume that the Royal Family has come to appreciate Land Rover vehicles for the style, distinctiveness, capability, and performance of their products – qualities that have allowed this premium manufacturer to stand out in the automotive landscape.
BRINGING TAILOR-MADE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The appeal and interest garnered by Land Rover has no doubt engendered an interest in unique vehicles that bring capability, exclusivity, distinctiveness and performance to the next level. It is from this demand that Special Vehicle Operations was born. The division is responsible for producing "halo models, limited-run collector's editions and high-specification vehicles," as well as special task vehicles – for use in diplomatic roles or for the film industry, for example. Of course, projects like this are far from a new reality for Land Rover, but Special Vehicle Operations brings the management, specialists, tools and facilities responsible for these projects under one roof.
STATE-OF-THE ART FACILITIES
The division operates from its own state-of-the-art facility – the Land Rover Center of Excellence, located near Coventry, England. The 215,000 square feet facility houses a team of 250 automotive specialists, a world-class paint facility and 40 engineering inspection bays. Special Vehicle Operations is thus able to perform mechanical, design and technological improvements in-house. As stated by John Edwards, managing director of Special Vehicle Operations:
"SVO is about pushing the boundaries and making vehicles that stand out. These are not just great looking cars. We make outstanding cars. Cars with real substance and real integrity."
SVO: AREAS OF FOCUS
A real advantage of SVO is the ability to really accentuate the strengths of a vehicle and focus efforts on maximizing them. As such, Special Vehicle Operations produces three distinct categories of vehicles:
SVAutobiography represents ultimate luxury. So far, the one model to have received this badge is the Range Rover SVAutobiography, available in Dynamic and Long Wheelbase versions.
The SVX badge is used to describe models modified and optimized to maximize all-terrain capability. The Land Rover Discovery SVX, planned for 2019, will be the first model to wear this badge.
SVR describes vehicles optimized to maximize on-road performance. The first vehicle launched from SVO was the Range Rover Sport SVR, which upon its introduction set the lap time record for a production SUV at the Nürburgring, as well as the overall record for a production vehicle at the Pikes Peak hill climb and on the 99-turn Tianmen road in China.
In addition to these advanced models, Special Vehicle Operations is also involved in producing limited-run collector's editions, such as the upcoming XE SV Project 8, which has already beaten a Nürburgring lap record. Furthermore, SVO is responsible for vehicles adapted to very specific tasks. For instance, the Range Rover SENTINEL is an armoured version, well suited to use by diplomatic corps, while the Land Rover Project Hero is an advanced communication concept vehicle equipped with a drone, which will be trialled by the Austrian Red Cross to analyze how it may help speed up response times in search and rescue missions.
AN EXCITING FUTURE
Special Vehicle Operations may be quite new, but there is no denying that in their short existence they have already succeeded in providing vehicles that bring exclusivity, performance, luxury and capability, while also being able to modify Land Rover vehicles to perform and excel in any role. It will be fascinating to see what vehicles are produced in the future by this elite division of Land Rover.

The People's Democratic Movement (PDM) has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Bauchi asking the court to declare its gubernatorial candidate as winner of Bauchi governorship election.
The suit instituted by the party was over alleged non-inclusion of its logo on the Ballot Paper by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the elections.
Speaking to journalists at the court premises in Bauchi on Tuesday, Counsel to the Plaintiff, Barrister Auwal Idris Kwami said that they went to court and filed a suit against INEC on behalf of their client, the PDM, over non-inclusion of its party logo on the ballot paper.
"We are now asking the court to cancel the election or in the alternative declare our client's party as the winner of the Bauchi Governorship poll since our party was duly registered and we sponsored a candidate which we are very much convinced that our candidate should be returned elected.
"We want the court to set aside the election conducted or in the alternative declare our candidate as winner of the election because it's very fundamental to stick to adherence of section 138(d) of the Electoral Act," he said.
The counsel disclosed that they will pursue the case to its logical conclusion even if the electoral body declare somebody as winner of the election as the court will cancel the election in the interest of justice and fairness.

Aside from its commitment to sustainable food (I was told that about 70-80% is organic), Sweetgreen sells pressed organic juice in many of its locations and also puts on a yearly music festival called Sweetlife. Needless to say, these guys are doing some really cool things.
After eating at the Boston location twice this past week, I was incredibly impressed by both the quality of its product and its very savvy business operation. Whereas many other organic restaurants have been unable to scale, Sweetgreen has clearly figured out a winning formula, and I have no doubt that this will be a national operation within time.
Here are a few of things that I ate at Sweetgreen and a picture of the inside of the restaurant. I went at lunchtime, and there was a line out the front door.
The model of Sweetgreen is heavily reliant on salads as the base and then you can add in the vegetarian or non-vegetarian protein of your choice. Since it is designed this way, it allows for very quick service.
Overall, my experience at Sweetgreen was extremely positive. The salads were fresh and great tasting, the people working there were very friendly, and the environment was comfortable and welcoming. Plus, I loved the positive messages on the walls and in the in-store promotional materials.
Sweetgreen is a serious winner, and it will be a massive success in New York City.

Blog / PR Tips / Press Releases
by Shannon Michael / December 28, 2018
Lately, I've seen, over and over, the proclamation that the classic PR tool, the press release, is outdated and not useful. When asked the question "when is the right time to start writing and pushing press releases for a new business," this writer answered with 'Never.'
While I understand the basis of the statement – everything's digital now, content is king, press releases aren't personalized to particular journalists, etc., etc. So, what's the value of the traditional press release in this new media environment? Here are four things to remember when deciding whether to issue a press release:
Press releases can be an initial introduction of a company for writers, and while that release might not drive immediate coverage, it can serve to put the company on the radar. And, with a well-targeted pitch individualized to a reporter alongside the release, that press release can keep your audiences abreast of developments in your company.
What's the first thing someone does when wanting to learn about a company? Google it, of course. Since press releases are part of the Google search algorithms for the 'In the News' section, issuing a press release creates a credible 'list' of search results for a company that generally look like real news articles. Not to mention, everything lasts forever on the Internet.
Media often need a press release to serve as the foundation for coverage. The rule of story construction is still 'who, what, when, where, why,' and that's what a press release provides. This critical information is presented in a journalistic fashion, and it's the information reporters are used to receiving.
Building credibility is often tough for young companies – even when said company has a ground-breaking product or service. There's a lot of noise out there, and it's usually hard to hear over the tumult – so even a start-up can create some 'presence' by issuing a solidly written, news-based press release through a service like Business Wire or PR Newswire. It's a relatively small cost to get some visibility.
Press releases still have a viable and essential role to play for public relations programming, and while you might not see immediate top-tier coverage, it's still a great way to begin to build visibility and credibility for your company.

Preview: FGCU men's basketball at Baylor
The FGCU men's basketball team takes on Baylor in Waco, Texas, at the Ferrell Center at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18.
Baylor took on Oral Roberts on Friday in its season opener, coming out victorious 76-61. Al Freeman led the Bears in scoring with 16 points, and Manu Lacomte put up a double-double, scoring 13 points along with 10 rebounds.
FGCU took on Florida in their home opener on Friday. Although the score was close at halftime, the Eagles ended on the wrong side of a lopsided game, as the score ended 80-59.
The Eagles were led in scoring by Brandon Goodwin, who tallied 14 points, and Rayjon Tucker, who scored 10 points off of the bench.
Despite the loss, the Eagles hope for star player and captain Marc-Eddy Norelia, who missed the season opener with a broken hand, to return and help his team improve on last season.


Kenzy, Hannah, and Bentley started their lives working for a chimp trainer living in Missouri and Nevada. As they've grown, their most recent owner decided the chimpanzees needed to be somewhere where they could receive dedicated care and be integrated into a larger group of chimpanzees with improved outdoor space that CGA could offer them.
Kenzy is the middle "child" of the new trio. He is a handsome and playful chimpanzee who is the dominant male of his group consisting of Hannah and Bentley. Kenzy is half-brothers to Hannah and one of our other residents, Natsu. Kenzy's favorite foods are any fruits and broccoli.

Volatile Organic Compound Monitoring during Extreme Wildfires: Assessing the Potential of Sensors Based on LbL and Sputtering Films

LIBPhys-UNL
A new theory suggests that flammable gases generated by heated vegetation, in particular the volatile organic compounds (VOC) common to Mediterranean plants, may, under certain topographic and wind conditions, accumulate in locations where, after the arrival of the ignition source, they rapidly burst into flames as explosions. Hence, there is a need for the development of a system that can monitor the development of these compounds. In this work, a sensor's array is proposed as a method for monitoring the amount of eucalyptol and α-pinene, the major VOC compounds of the Eucalyptus and Pine trees. The detection of the target compounds was assessed using the impedance spectroscopy response of thin films. Combinations of layers of polyelectrolytes, such as poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), polyethyleneimine (PEI), poly(sodium 4-sytrenesulfonate) (PSS) graphene oxide (GO), and non/functionalized multiwall nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH or MWCNT), namely, PAH/GO, PEI/PSS, PEI/GO, PAH/MWCNT, PAH/MWCNT-COOH, films, and TiO2 and ZnO sputtered films, were deposited onto ceramic supports coated with gold interdigitated electrodes. The results showed that concentrations of the target VOCs, within the range of 68 to 999 ppmv, can be easily distinguished by analyzing the impedance spectra, particularly in the case of the ZnO- and PAH/GO-film-based sensors, which showed the best results in the detection of the target compounds. Through principal component analysis (PCA), the best set of features attained for the ZnO and PAH/GO based sensor devices revealed a linear trend of the PCA's first principal component with the concentration within the range 109 and 807 ppmv. Thus, the values of sensitivity to eucalyptol and α-pinene concentrations, which were (2.2 ± 0.3) × 10-4 and (5.0 ± 0.7) × 10-5 per decade, respectively, as well as resolutions of 118 and 136 ppbv, respectively, were identified.

Home Tesla Model Y Features
This Tesla Owner Hates 3 Things About The Model Y, So He's Selling It
We often hear about Tesla issues, but typically owners are still happy overall. However, this is a unique situation.
Nov 03, 2020 at 10:29am ET
By: Steven Loveday
As soon as you start watching this video, it becomes pretty clear that this guy seems ticked off. As expected, there's a flow of accusing comments on the YouTube channel. That's because this Tesla Model Y owner says he hates just three things, and some people would say they're minor or they're things that he could have easily researched before buying the car, but instead, he is going to sell it.
The new Tesla owner actually goes so far as to say that the car doesn't even have basic functionality, though he never expands on that. Let's be clear here, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and no one should take ownership of a car or keep a car they're unhappy with. If it's going to tick you off every day you jump inside, you shouldn't keep it. Moreover, he says when you spend $77,000 on a car, there has to be some expectation that it will have a certain level of perfection, and that's certainly a fair expectation. So what's the deal?
YouTuber Hayden Bowles says the Model Y Performance is his first new car. He also says that he did his homework before buying it. Bowles explains that if he knew about these three things before buying, he wouldn't have pulled the trigger. However, he also says that none of the issues were ever mentioned by anyone else online.
Interestingly, Bowles says that overall he'd probably give the Model Y a good rating if he had bought it to be his only daily driver. However, he only bought it for road trips, and it's a bad choice for that. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a $77,000 electric Tesla Performance model just for road trips?
At any rate, his biggest issue is the angle of the headrest, which you can't alter. His second issue is that his road trips will take longer than they did in a gas car due to the charging and range situation and the fact that the Model Y's estimated range is misleading.
Added to this, Bowles' third problem is that he thought an efficient car would charge much faster. He says Tesla is just no far enough along with its Supercharger network, and he'll have to waste too much time charging. We haven't heard much about the headrest, but it's surprising that Bowles couldn't find anyone else online that has ever shared the charging situation related to electric cars.

Burnley Knowledge Park secures outline approval
Burnley Council is looking for a development partner after granting outline planning permission for Burnley Knowledge Park on a vacant brownfield site on the edge of the town.
The five-acre site is being delivered through a partnership between the North West Regional Development Agency (NWDA), Burnley Borough Council, Burnley College and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN).
The proposals include 130,000 sq ft of B1 business space, parking and ancillary uses.
The site is next to the new £84m Burnley Education Campus developed for Burnley College and the Burnley UCLAN campus.
The council hopes to attract spin-out companies to the managed workspace, but there will also be several self-contained units available to existing firms.
Adam Lockett, a development officer at the council, said: "We are now concentrating our efforts on finding a development partner to work with us on this exciting scheme. Documents are currently being developed that will help us deliver the scheme, and we are looking forward to moving onto the next stage of this project."
