We would like to say thank you to all the members who stopped by on Membership Appreciation Day, June 22, 2018.
A big thank you to Kool Hits 105.7 and Ernie G. Anderson for playing Kool music for our Luau.
We had a time and hope to see you at next year's event.


"State capitalism is very different from real, tooth in claw free market capitalism: it involves public bodies that dress up as private sector actors but which, at the end of the day, maintain a core public sector mindset, or private firms that begin to rely and depend so much on the government for their success that they forget what real competition and markets look like. Other members of this 'third sector' hybrid include sovereign wealth funds, as well as a bevy of semi-private companies that are in fact controlled or heavily influenced by politicians. Increasingly, central banks also qualify: they are also becoming more active in capital markets, snapping up corporate bonds (and not just government IOUs) as part of quantitative easing and thus directly subsidizing some businesses .. Investors and the public should beware state capitalism. It's not the real thing, it doesn't work and it is a recipe for capital destruction."

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis) (1993)
Here is a puzzle game that will haunt your dreams and send your synaptic processes tumbling down around you like a collapsing building. "I'll just play for a few minutes," you assure yourself at 9 pm. But then some sort of time warp occurs, all of a sudden it's 3 am and you're standing on top of the couch, sweating profusely and screaming obscenities at the TV.
Released in Japan as Puyo Puyo (ぷよぷよ) in 1991 for the Famicom Disk, the game was ported as a Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off (with no Sonic!) for the North American market, and released on the Sega Genesis in 1993. There are a few graphical differences, and of course a different set of characters, but none of that matters because much like Tetris, this is a pure-gameplay type game. There is zero storyline, simple graphics, no distractions or side tasks...just you in an all-out war against your own mind.
My roommate bought an officially-released collection of Genesis games for the PS3 (Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection), and honestly most of the games are complete garbage. Notable exceptions are Gain Ground, Shinobi III, Ecco the Dolphin, Streets of Rage, and obviously Mean Bean Machine, but holy shit. I grew up with Genesis so it's a bit hard to admit, but the SNES has withstood the test of time quite favorably, whereas the Genesis...
Let's talk about Mean Bean Machine, though. After a misfire with Columns, Sega really hit on a true mind-bending puzzler with this release. Combining elements of Tetris and Dr. Mario, it blows away both of those (classic) games, both in terms of intricacy and strategy. I won't say it's more fun, because your idea of fun might not be kicking over your living room table in frustration, but to me at least, it's more fun. Let me put it like this: I love Tetris, but I can routinely get above 200 lines (level 20) on freetetris.org, and sometimes I just want a harder drug.
It's definitely a falling-block game, like Tetris and Dr. Mario, in that the goal is to make units disappear by grouping them, but the twist is that the first group of beans don't give you many points at all, it's only chain reactions caused by that disappearance that get you ahead in the game. Let me explain that better: like Dr. Mario, the units are little two-ended jelly beans, with each end being a different colored bean (there are five colors in total, compared to Mario's three). You spin them around as they fall, and arrange them in patterns at the bottom of your screen. Four beans of the same color disappear, and in turn make the beans lodged above them fall. If you can get these beans, as a result of falling, to group themselves into another group of four, and so on, you will have seriously screwed your opponent. That's right, because in contrast to Tetris, Mean Bean Machine is always played as a competition, either against a computer or human opponent. Developers always struggled with the concept of making the competition between two players interactive, and Mean Bean Machine addresses that (and makes the game much more difficult in the process) with its garbage-bean mechanic. If you put together a good combo, useless clear garbage beans will fall on your opponent's screen, screwing up anything they were putting together on their side. These beans can only be removed by making combos adjacent to them, which gets increasingly difficult to do as time and space are constricted near the top of the screen.
It might sound quite confusing on paper, but the premise is actually rather simple once you're playing. The strategies you need to use, while equally indescribable, are similar to the multi-tiered "think several moves ahead" processes one uses in chess. In fact, it takes a great deal of chess-reminiscent "if -- then" logic to arrange a multi-level chain reaction, and you are severely time-limited. Add in the extra factor of falling layers of garbage blocks from your opponent, and it's like speed chess with an ever-changing board.
I may have made the game sound like a hopeless exercise in frustration, and it is. But the challenge is simply what makes it so rewarding. After performing some remarkable feat of mental gymnastics, you will feel a wave of euphoria as you watch your opponent's screen fill to the brim with garbage beans.
If you want your cognition to be pushed to the breaking point, this is your game. Even if you are naturally good at math and logic, the upper levels of Scenario Mode are so sped-up that I guarantee you will find a very significant challenge. If you've deluded yourself into thinking you're good at puzzle games, shut off Tetris and come play with the big boys.

Just posting to say I got to Robotnik (Level 13) tonight (the code is Purple, Yellow, Orange, Clear), so I am officially way better at this game than Zach.
Wait March 16, 2011 at 11:19 AM
Just posting to say that Peter did not reference his totaled number of losses to said "Zach" and in doing so, ignores the fact that he has lost significantly more than he has won directly against "Zach."

Video: A$AP Rocky & A$AP Ferg – "Wrong"
Written By Brian Josephs
| June 6, 2017 - 1:18 pm | Updated June 6, 2017 - 3:06 pm
Home » New Music » Videos » Video: A$AP Rocky & A$AP Ferg – "Wrong"
Last April, A$AP Mob's two biggest stars A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg dropped their new single "Wrong." While Cozy Tapes Vol. 2 doesn't have a release date, the duo have at least teamed up again for the song's video. From within an earthy church, Rocky and Ferg mournfully rap about the women they did wrong as models stand around stoically. Rocky is also seen wearing a long sleeve that says "WE SHOULD ALL BE FEMINISTS."
Watch the woke A$AP duo below.

The Danelectro N10BK Honey Tone Mini Amp is a great looking and very light weight portable practice amp that can easily clip on to your belt buckle or in the palm of your hand!
It's light on features which you might expect in such a small package and consists of a volume control, tone, overdrive, headphone jack and belt buckle.
For the price, it's difficult to really criticise the sound quality but realistically, once you set the volume past approx. 50% it does start to break up, and past 80% is a no-go zone. Having said that, there are plenty of opposing views from other owners who are very pleased with the sound quality which suggests the speakers may vary in quality from item to item.
The Honeytone has everything you would expect (Volume, Tone, Overdrive) along with a belt clip and headphone jack. Surprisingly it also comes with a real leather handle.
At just under $25 (at the time of writing) the Honeytone N10 represents extremely good value.
Extremely portable, with real leather handle.
The Honeytone N10 is an extremely affordable mini amp that looks particularly slick with retro stylings. Read our detailed Honeytone mini amp review below for more information including product specifications, customer feedback and pros and cons.
It's hard to really fault a mini amp that costs less than half a tank of petrol. At under $25 (at the time of writing) you really do get a lot of bang for your buck.
The controls are as you would expect for an amp that is so affordable and feature volume, tone and overdrive. It also happens to be very loud, deceptively so considering it's another very small amp.
You also get the benefit of a headphone out, which is very much a necessity in an amp of this size as the tiny speakers wont take a great deal of punishment.
It would be great to see an AC adapter included but at this price it's not a show stopper and not to be expected.
The Honeytone N10 really is a great looking little amp and as a decorative element certainly has some wow factor. It's plastic obviously, but looks very slick all the same. You can choose from a range of retro color options including: Aqua, Cream, Black and Burgundy.
The controls are as you might expect and the LED battery indicator isn't as reliable as you might expect but the leather handle is a surprising bonus that adds to the overall retro feel of the amp.
I love the retro style. I could unhook the guitar cable from it and have it displayed on a shelf and it would still look great.
At $20, I considered this along the lines of those 3-channel r/c helicopters, little engineering marvels priced so low as to almost demand to be purchased. And for $20 it delivers.
The color and the vibe are really cool. However, in terms of sound quality and actually using the product, I tried many different configurations and unless you connect this to a sound system or headphones, it sounds horrible.
This small item packs a big sound. Works great, shipping was fast and the price is right. Great experience all around.
It's fairly loud, but very difficult to dial in. If you don't have the volume/distortion on your instrument and the amp just right, you'll get nothing but harsh static and popping. Once you get it in the right spot though, it has a nice vintage rock sound.
Danelectro may not be one of the elder statesmen of Guitar Amplification but they have cornered a good niche of stylish portable practice amps such as the Danelectro N10BK Honey Tone Mini Amp. If you are not too serious about tone and just really value the portability of a practice amp, then this might just be what you are looking for. At under $30 (at the time of writing) it doesn't have a lot of competition with the exception of the Vox Amplug at just under $40.00 which does not include a speaker.

Q: EditText's TextWatcher validator I am doing a login Activity which basically has an EditText and two Buttons.
It looks like this:
http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/9108/loginm.png http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/9108/loginm.png
The EditText has a TextWatcher that validates the user with an AsyncTask that hits a webservice.
The code:
public class Login extends Activity {

    private EditText mUserNameET;
    private Drawable mCorrect;
    private Drawable mIncorrect;
    private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
    private MyApp mApp;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.login);

        mApp = (MyApp) getApplication();
        mUserNameET = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.user_name_et);
        mUserNameET.addTextChangedListener(new LoginValidator());

        mCorrect = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.correct);
        mIncorrect = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.incorrect);
        mProgressBar = new ProgressBar(this);
    }

    private class LoginValidator implements TextWatcher {

        private ValidateUserAsyncTask validator = new ValidateUserAsyncTask();

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

            String value = s.toString();

            if ( value.length() == 0 )
                return;

            /* If it's running, cancel it. */
            /* Issue #2 */
            if ( AsyncTask.Status.RUNNING == validator.getStatus() ) {
                validator.cancel(true);
                validator = new ValidateUserAsyncTask();
            } else if ( AsyncTask.Status.FINISHED == validator.getStatus() ) {
                validator = new ValidateUserAsyncTask();
            }

            validator.execute(value);
            /* Issue #1 */
            mUserNameET.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, mProgressBar.getProgressDrawable(), null);
        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                int after) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
                int count) {
        }
    }

    class ValidateUserAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);

            if ( result ) {
                mUserNameET.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, mCorrect, null);
            } else {
                mUserNameET.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, mIncorrect, null);
            }
        }

        @Override
        protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
            return mApp.validateUser(params[0]);
        }
    }
}

My issues:
While the AsyncTask is working I want to show a ProgressBar inside the EditText.
I tried to do it using:
mUserNameET.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, mProgressBar.getProgressDrawable(), null);

but it doesn't work.
And I am also a bit worried about creating new instances of the AsyncTask. Am I leaking memory?

A:
While the AsyncTask is working I want
  to show a ProgressBar inside the
  EditText

Try creating an AnimationDrawable representing your progress indicator, and use that with setCompoundDrawables().

And I am also a bit worried about
  creating new instances of the
  AsyncTask. Am I leaking memory?

Well, you can't reuse AsyncTask instances -- they are one-and-done. Bear in mind that AsyncTask uses a thread pool, and so you may have multiple AsyncTasks executing at one time, which may or may not be what you have in mind. I would consider waiting until there has been no typing for, say, 1 second, before doing the Web service stuff.

A: Refer this post it woulb be helpfull.. Though it has been done for a button you can change it for a EditText..

History of the Dunn School
Public engagement and outreach
The Dunn School is a friendly and collegiate place to work, and prides itself on the support it offers to people with families and caring responsibilities, while pursuing their careers. We try to foster an environment where everyone feels that they are helped at all stages of their careers, and where the additional pressures that come with family life can be mitigated by both an outstanding work environment and active support.
We have developed specific family friendly policies that include flexible working arrangements, holding Departmental events between 10am to 4pm, designating much of the non-lab space to be open to children, and encouragement of shared parental leave, as well as leave for carers and during adoption.
By supporting equality, valuing diversity, and maintaining a working and social environment in which the rights and dignity or all of our staff and students is respected, we encourage all members of the department to reach their full potential. Recognising the significance of all protected characteristics, we fully support everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. Our Athena Swan committee and Anti-Bullying working group lead on these efforts but we also encourage input from everyone as we strive to make our working environment and community fully inclusive and fair.
We have compiled a factsheet about working at the Dunn School which will be helpful to people who are new to the Department.


No doubt you have been reading, as I have, all of the commentaries on what happened at General Conference. Every one I've read laments the fact that after the conference finally voted for a plan of restructuring, the Judicial Council unanimously declared it unconstitutional. I have to tell you I am relieved. In fact, I am grateful to the Judicial Council for the position it took.
As I have reflected on what we were doing, I came to realize that I was refusing to recognize some deep feelings of reservation about the process and the plans.
The original plan was quite a radical departure from our present structure. That in itself should have suggested that more time was needed to discuss the proposal and to refine it before the General Conference started, rather than during the General Conference itself.
In a time of crisis, and that is what seems to be the general opinion of our current situation, what is needed is the full support of everyone. Such support emerges from a shared ownership of proposed solutions. The proposal and the modifications proposed during the conference were not clear to the central conference delegates and were divisive for the delegates from annual conferences in the United States.
There was also a discontinuity between what was being proposed and what the outcome would be. It was difficult to see how a reduction in the number of members of the general boards of program agencies would produce new congregations. Yes, one understands that it would seem to free up resources for new church startups. The leap was just too far. Who would start up the new congregations and what type of oversight and guidance would be given? Who would decide where these startups would be? There were a lot of unanswered questions that called for a leap of faith.
It was obvious that the delegates were so concerned for the future of the church and held such a strong desire to see something accomplished that they were willing to make that leap of faith. The universal recognition of the need for action by almost all the delegates was co-opted by plans that were not well thought out and did not take into account the reality of The United Methodist Church being composed of minorities and cultures from other continents. I don't think I am being too negative when I say I am relieved.
I could see us coming back in four years wondering why we were continuing to lose members when we had approved and implemented a plan of restructuring. I doubt that restructuring is the answer to our problems.
In fact, I doubt that starting churches is going to resolve our problems. Do we really think our problems can be resolved by focusing on institutional growth? Is the solution to our situation starting new churches or making Christians? Can we just assume by starting churches and signing up church members we are making Christians?
I need to say here that I am a liberal and always have been one. While becoming a member of the church was a meaningful experience for me, it did not measure up to when one of my pastors took me aside and asked if I had given my life to Jesus Christ to do with it as He would. There are things I have done I am not proud of, but I know there is a difference between becoming a church member and becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.
What do we mean when we say we are planting churches? Is it taken for granted that we mean inviting persons to give their lives to Jesus Christ? If it is, I think we need to say so and not leave it to chance. There has been enough triumphalism going around about what we United Methodists have done in the past. Can we focus on making disciples without making it look like what we want to do is return to the good old days when we were No. 1 or that our goal is institution building?
Can we recognize that we have an educated ministry and laity who participate as people who love the church and know enough about it to know what some of the problems are? Can we trust them to share in dialogue about what needs to be done and what are some of the best ways to go about accomplishing it? Let's start now with an openly invited dialogue that will bring forward the best thought and concrete suggestions we all can examine.
No doubt some suggestions for restructuring will come forward. But let's not wait until the next General Conference convenes to start the debate. Let's be especially considerate of those whose first language is not English.

Rescue puppy undergoes training at Snowbowl
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (KSAZ) - While avalanches are rare in parts of Arizona that do get snow, it could happen. The ski patrol at Arizona Snowbowl is making sure they are ready, and a new rescue puppy is undergoing avalanche training at the ski area.
Meet Ava.
Ava, short for "Avalanche", is the first avalanche rescue dog to be trained at Snowbowl. The Golden Retriever is only 12 weeks old, but it is already ready to hit the slopes.
"She sometimes gets a little grumpy on the first chair in the morning, just cause it's cold out, but she comes around and gets excited all day," said Hailey Hagerty, Ava's owner and trainer.
Hagerty takes Ava with her for Hagerty's daily patrols, in an effort to acclimatize Ava to snows, skiers, and the chair lift. Before Ava learns to find people under snow, she learns to play hide and seek.
"She's going to associate human scent with that hard play," said Hagerty. "So, it's gotta be the most exciting thing she's ever done. That way, she's super excited about it, and really has a strong drive."
Ava will become a certified avalanche rescue dog in a year or two. Until that point, Ava is going to keep training, and, perhaps more importantly, enjoy being a puppy.

Virtual Reality experience has been around for a few years. But due to the expensive equipment required to use it, the system had not gained a lot of popularity. Older VR headsets and other tools were too bulky, slow and power hungry. So there were restricted only to developers and a small niche of users.
But today, things have turned around a lot for VR. Starting with Google Cardboard, which is available for a few dollars, right up to more sophisticated headsets, there are a lot of options in the market. This article will help you figure out the best choice for your needs.
Google Cardboard: This is the simplest Viewer that anyone can build or buy. It comprises of a pair of lens adjusted at an angle inside a cardboard box. It can be built at home or purchased from a store. It is basic and good to experience a 3-dimensional surrounding by using your phone. This is a great tool to introduce newbies to Virtual Reality headsets.
Pansonite VR Headset: Coming to the retail side, Pansonite's VR Headset is a very affordable and effective option for most VR users. Pansonite's headset is an Amazon bestseller. It does an excellent job in completely shutting off your surroundings. The resin-based composite material makes it light and provides better image clarity and has lesser chances of vertigo. The headsets can be worn for a longer duration without discomfort, thanks to faux leather face cups. It is also easy to adjust the lenses to suit your needs, making it a great, well priced VR headset.
Oculus Go: This is the first headset from Oculus since Facebook bought them in 2014. It's a standalone piece that does not require an expensive console or a powerful laptop as an input device. Just put on the headset and you are ready for an immersive experience. This headset is more suited to the casual consumer's needs than the bigger Oculus Rift. But the headset still gives a great experience. It is compatible with over 1000 apps and works with many games, streaming services and even 360-degree experiences.
HTC Vive: If you want the best experience that money can buy, go for HTC Vive. With a 2160 x 1200 resolution OLED display and a 90 Hz refresh rate, this headset promises an amazing virtual experience. It has 32 sensors in the headset for precision tracking and is good for even 360-degree motion tracking. The headset provides a visually immersive 110-degree field of view that covers even the peripheral vision.
Vive comes with two handheld controllers fitted with 24 sensors for accurate motion tracking. But the biggest disadvantage of this set is its steep price, the need for a powerful PC with a heavy duty graphics card and its 15-pound weight. Except for these problems, Vive provides one of the best VR experiences in the current market.
Based on your budget and other needs, one of these headsets should be able to provide the right Virtual reality experience.

Six Nations holds a large parcel of surviving Carolinian Forests – but who cares?
Local News Jim Windle • August 3, 2016 • Views 304 • Comments off Share
SIX NATIONS – Six Nations of the Grand River reserve #40, contains the largest stand of Carolinian forest in Ontario. But does anybody care? If not, they should, because what we take for granted today, may be gone tomorrow.
This Google Earth image shows the green patches of Carolinian forests remaining on Six Nations and New Credit Reserves. (Google Earth)
This is a fact born witness to by Google Earth images of the southwestern Ontario region, which shows a distinctive green parch in the middle of a landscape of farmers' fields along the meandering path of the Grand River. That patch is Six Nations.
What is a Carolinian forest anyway and why are they so important to nourish and preserve?
As many of us know, all life is interconnected and carefully balanced by the Creator — or natural selection, depending on your worldview.
But for Indigenous people, like indigenous species of plant life, encroachment from outside environments and imported life forms and the diseases they bring have decimated the indigenous and exterminated countless life forms that have existed in this place since the beginning of time.
To better understand what a Carolinian forest is, we go to 1629, when King Charles I gave Sir Robert Heath, friend and attorney general at the time, the southern portions of America calling it the Province of Carolana (land of Charles). That word was corrupted to what we know today as, Carolina. Not the state, the entire region.
Spencer Gorge.
In 1859, J.G. Cooper used the term Carolinian to describe a forest region running in a strip along the Atlantic coast from southern Long Island to Georgia.
In 1892, J.A. Allen used Carolinian for a faunal region stretching from the Carolinas to New Jersey and west to South Dakota and Oklahoma. Southern Ontario was excluded because they were doing an American study only.
Canadian researchers Macoun and Malte used the term Carolinian to identify the vegetation in southern Ontario bounded by "a line running approximately from the northern shore of Lake Ontario to Windsor". They characterized the vegetation as "the Hickories (six species), the Oaks (10 species), the Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), the Chestnut (Castanea dentata), and the Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Less abundant and more local in their distribution are: Cucumber tree (Magnolia acuminata), Tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera), Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), which have all beautiful and very conspicuous flowers, Papaw (Asimina triloba), Red Mulberry (Morus rubra), American Crab Apple (Pyrus coronaria), Sour Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Sassafras (Sassafras variifolium) and others," according to Chris Wood on his website The Tyee News, Culture, solutions thetyee.ca
Non-indigenous environmentalists are also lamenting the slow death of the Carolinian Forest.
"Carolinian forest is characterized by a predominance of deciduous, or broad-leafed, tree species. Although only approximately one per cent of Canada falls within the Carolinian Life Zone, more species of plants and animals are found here than anywhere else in Canada. Over 2200 species of plants are found within the Carolinian zone in Canada," According to Ruthvan Park Nature Blog.
The Grey Fox is one species unique to the Carolinian forest.
Long ago most of this richly forested area was turned into farmland or, in the last half-century, housing especially since Ontario got away with its non-consulted, and strangely uncontested, "Places to Grow Act", which sent developers to this very area to clear-cut and build more, and more, along the Haldimand Tract, in the Grand River Valley.
Less than 15 per cent of the Carolinian's former extent from Carolina to Toronto, remains, and most of that is here at Six Nations, that little green postage stamp on the google map.
If there is not a practical reason to save and preserve the indigenous plant life, there should be a deeper, more spiritual reason to do so.
Smallmouth Salamander.
Clear-cutting large sprawls of indigenous trees should be more closely monitored, especially when it takes place at Six Nations. It should be much harder to cut down large stands of trees, even if they are determined to be "scrub" trees and not "money trees", as they say.
That does not mean that every tree currently growing here comes from indigenous stock. Regrowths of non-indigenous trees and plants have filled in areas removed by earlier generations for the building of Six Nations and Ohsweken. There was also the pilfered stands of trees cut and hauled away from Six Nations for white man's purpose, without compensation of care.
Several butterfly species like this one rely on the shrubbery of the Carolinian for survival.
Either way, gone is still gone, but what is left should be protected like the treasures they are. Planting indigenous flora and fauna wherever you can in landscaping would help preserve the natural balance.
When it comes to the natural habitat of both indigenous plants and people, both should be firmly and actively protected and preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Energy Saving Opportunities Scheme (ESOS) - National Energy Foundation The National Energy Foundation: "Improving the use of energy in buildings"
ESOS has its origins in Article 8 (4-6) of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) 2012/27/EU, which came into force in December 2012. The Environment Agency is the scheme administrator. Compliance runs in four-yearly cycles and the deadline for organisations to determine whether they need to comply was 31 December, 2014. The deadline for compliance was 31 December, 2015 and non-compliance could lead to civil penalties, including fines. The Department of Energy and Climate Change produced a full guide to ESOS.
Who is affected by ESOS?
Less than 250 employees but an annual turnover of more than 50m Euros and an annual balance sheet of more than 43m Euros.
Where a corporate group includes at least one organisation that's subject to ESOS, then all the UK organisations in that group must comply, irrespective of their size.
ESOS mainly affects businesses but it can also apply to not-for-profit bodies and any other non-public sector undertakings that are large enough to meet the qualification criteria. The public sector is generally exempt but some universities have to comply, depending on their funding.
If an organisation is subject to ESOS, it needs to undertake an assessment, which will help work out what it needs to do to comply.
Having calculated its total energy consumption, the organisation is required to audit at least 90% of it, as well as its energy efficiency. This must be done across all its buildings, transport and industrial processes.
These audits must be done using energy consumption profiling.
The organisation needs to identify the scope of the audits and the personnel and skills required to undertake them, as there will be a need for different expertise across the three operational areas.
A Lead Assessor must be appointed to carry out, oversee or review the energy audits and the overall ESOS assessment. Lead Assessors can be either external consultants or in-house experts. They must be knowledgeable and appropriately competent, and be members of an approved register. The Environment Agency has published approved registers.
The audits should review energy data, data management and how energy is used. It should also identify any potential cost-effective energy-saving opportunities.
Any recommended energy-saving opportunities should include the estimated costs and the benefits of implementing them.
The audits should also include (a representative sample of) site visits. As with any audit, it's important to keep good records and they should be kept on file as evidence of compliance.
The audit must be based on 12 months' verifiable data.
It's a requirement that the audit is reviewed and signed off by both the Lead Assessor and a board-level Director (or two if the Lead Assessor is an internal member of staff). This ensures that the board is aware of both what's required and any energy-saving opportunities that have been identified.
The final stage is for the organisation to inform the Environment Agency that compliance has been achieved.
However, there are other ways to achieve compliance. What's more, provided an organisation covers 90% of its total energy consumption, it can use a mix of approaches with some of its energy consumption covered by ISO 50001, some by Display Energy Certificates (DECs) or Green Deal Assessments (GDAs) and some by ESOS energy audits.
If an organisation is fully covered by ISO 50001 (implementing and operating an independently-certified ISO 50001 energy management system) it doesn't need to carry out an ESOS assessment. It just needs to notify the Environment Agency that this is the case and that it's compliant with ESOS.
An organisation can also use valid DECs and their corresponding recommendation reports. However, a DEC is based on a building's operating data only so the organisation will still need to audit its energy use in transport and any industrial processes. DEC documentation is valid for 10 years but can't be used for more than one ESOS cycle.
Alternatively, an organisation can opt to use valid GDAs, which consist of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Occupancy Assessments. However, like DECs, they only apply to buildings. Again, they are valid for 10 years.
Although the overall responsibility for compliance with ESOS lies with the organisation itself, many need external help with the necessary specialist skills in energy consultancy. Organisations often look for a range of cost-effective support services - possibly on a 'pick and mix' basis - when and where they need it.
Provide pre-assessment gap analysis. Identifying any work that has already been done that might count towards compliance and highlight any areas that require improvement. This will also include a review of data and information availability and ESOS readiness.
Provide a Lead Assessor role and carry out comprehensive assessments. This includes the full range of roles and responsibilities including the management and/or delivery of audits, the development of an evidence pack to substantiate the audits, reporting and the presentation of findings and recommendations.
Develop a strategy, including its costs and the cost benefits, pay-back periods, and feasibility of any energy-saving opportunities that are identified.
Work with you to build a business case for investment in any energy efficiency opportunities identified, including their funding and practicality.
What are the costs and benefits of ESOS?
Employing a Lead Assessor and other specialist internal or external staff.
Possibly appointing a permanent Energy Manager.
Implementing and sustaining the recommendations.
Although there's no legal requirement to implement any energy-saving recommendations, organisations are encouraged to go down this route. As a result, any costs are outweighed by the long-term financial benefits derived from reduced energy bills and increased efficiency.
Further details about ESOS are available on the Government website.
Practical advice and tips from the Government on how to get the most out of ESOS compliant energy audits.

Q: Raspberry Pi, Allow Insecure Repositories for Plex Install I am trying to install Plex media server on my Raspberry Pi 4 via their repo (details here), but come up against the apt-get update command returning the following:
E: The repository 'https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ./public Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I have tried the following with no luck.
sudo apt-get update --allow-unauthenticated

I have solved this issue once before, and Plex ran perfectly, but did not take notes and now can't find it again.


This team is led by Ms Whichcord, our Deputy Headteacher. Her responsibility is for 'Inclusion'. Her work is supported by many staff, particularly Mrs Standen our Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND) Co-ordinator and Mrs Harper our Pastoral Care Manager. Their work overlaps the SEND Department (see separate SEND page for further information).
Our children are encouraged to make the most of their time at Cliftonville Primary School, so every effort is made to remove obstacles to successful learning and to equip young people with the confidence and skills to be effective learners and effective members of the community.
•Provide an environment which will support the emotional health and well-being of all the pupils.
•Support targeted children in developing social, emotional and behavioural skills within the school setting.
•Support and empower families who may be experiencing difficulties.
Ensuring that all children and families have access to emotional support.
Promoting relationships between parents and school, raising parental awareness of learning and the importance of regular attendance.
Providing 1:1 and small group support for children.
Helping to develop children's social, emotional and behavioural skills.
We are particularly proud of our Nurture groups. Nurture groups are small, structured teaching groups for pupils showing signs of behavioural, social or emotional difficulties, particularly those who are experiencing disruption or distress outside of school. Mrs Harper leads this work with Mrs Watts and Mrs Biggins delivering the programme. We have seen some very positive effects, measured in lots of ways including the detailed Boxhall profile assessment.
Peer Mediation - involving Year 6 children managing minor conflicts using non-threatening and co-operative methods that promote inclusiveness, respect and self-esteem.
Class Peer Mediation - supporting new and vulnerable children in their classes. Promoting empathy, inclusiveness and self-esteem.
Buddies - befriending children in the playground.
Peer Mediators, Mentors and Buddies are given training and are monitored by the School Counsellor.
Restorative Justice - is often used, being an innovative approach to dealing with inappropriate and harmful behaviour focusing on building and repairing peer relationships rather than managing and controlling behaviour.
At Cliftonville School we believe that, given the right training and support, children can help their own peers resolve their conflicts.

The AKA Birthday Fan Special: His Journey To The Top In 13 Facts!
Today is Doro Mega's birthday and to celebrate, we bring you 13 facts you are not aware of
The 28th of January is the day AKA was born, and to celebrate Doro Mega's birthday we have drummed a few facts about him you are not aware of.
Okay most of us pretty much know the fact his real name is Kiernan Forbes, but there's a middle name. AKA's real government names are Kiernan Jarryd Forbes. Yup, we just one upped you.
He is considered one of the country's biggest Hip Hop acts based in Johannesburg – the heart of the South African music business. But he is actually bred in Cape Town, where his hustle began, sharpened and graduated.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmzRZ9NZs7E]
Long before the super successful solo career, AKA was actually in a KORA Award nominated group called Entity back in 2002. Their track Touch N Go achieved moderate commercial success. They just about got this close to snatching the Best African Hip Hop gong, and also gave a performance at the show.
He started studying Sound Engineering but would later return to his first love – performing.
It is here that he joined forces with fellow creatives to form a production fraternity called The I.V. League back in 2007 (now you understand his Facebook name!). They basically did the most back back, boasting production credits in acclaimed works of some of the most commercially successful Hip Hops in the country at the time – including PRO, Tuks, Khuli Chana, Teargas, Psyfo, JR, Jub Jub and many more.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc3b-G4NPx8]
At long last AKA finally began pursuing a solo career as it would seem so destined. In 2009 he released his debut album Altar Ego with the smash hit Mistakes, which would go on and top several local charts and earn him a Metro FM Music Award for Best Newcomer, Best Hip Hop and Best Produced Album.
He was crowned Best Dressed Man at the GQ Awards during the same year. You know you have arrived when that publication wants to say something about your style.
The rapper has opened for some of the biggest international acts like Kanye West, Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar amongst many others. These days AKA is questioning the over privileging of international artists while our own get mistreated on our soil and has vowed to cease opening for international artists in the future.
AKA's sophomore album reached Gold status in South Africa, with over 20 000 sold.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8hofUKu18M]
The album produced massive hits Congratulate Me, Run Jozi, Eyes On Me and Sim Dope which would all seal his title as the Prince of South African Hip Hop.
AKA was announced the most played artist on South African radio stations in 2015, beating out some of pretty big artists like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Adele and Ed Sheeran internationally and also came ahead of Black Coffee, K.O and Micasa locally.
His number 1 smash hit Baddest got playlisted in the UK by BBC 1XTRA, who later included him in their Hot in 2016 list.
2015 continued being an extraordinary year for AKA. In addition to winning numerous local and international awards and securing nominations that include one at the BET awards, he partnered up with Rocka for the 3RDWRLDBOSS eletronics range.

At this point, you may find it helpful to look at some of the databases here to see what you can find about your individual. Some of these are subject specific, which may be relevant if your figure comes from a certain background (i.e. literary) or ethnicity (i.e. African American). These sources might have information about the figure you are interested in, or direct you to sources in which you can find information on this person.

iCarly Cast: Where Are They Now?
Nickelodeon scored a massive hit with the web star-themed iCarly when the series premiered in September with its "iPilot" episode. Alas, in "iGoodbye," which aired in in November , the show bid farewell to its beloved Carly, Freddie, and Sam. So why did Nickelodeon pull the plug on the show? The biggest reason was that iCarly 's titular star, Miranda Cosgrove , was leaving for college. Cosgrove was 14 when the show began and had enrolled in the University of South California USC , telling Parade that she didn't even really take a break between shooting the finale episode and starting her first semester. I'm really enjoying college. I really love music but I've always wanted to act.
Well guys, we decided to do some investigating, and it turns out, there has been rumors that the iCarly star has been in relationships with some of Hollywoods biggest stars over the years, including James Maslow , Nat Wolff and David Archuleta , and we decided to break down each and every one. But what exactly went down between them, you ask? Did they really date?
I'm Clarice, an editor who passionate about zoosk dating sites. dating, orange dating site, dating daisy fields, icarly cast on dating rumors.
By Kate Thomas for MailOnline. She claims a bus crash left her 'permanently disabled'. And now iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove has revealed why she is suing for such a hefty sum in new documents filed in her ongoing lawsuit, saying her career was allegedly ruined by the August accident in Illinois when her tour bus struck a disabled tractor-trailer. The star and her mother, who also was on board the tour bus, are suing the driver of the bus, the driver of the big-rig and the transportation companies, alleging the accident could have been prevented.
Scroll down for video. Not happy: Miranda Cosgrove has reportedly filed new documents breaking down how much her bus crash cost her and how it affected her career. Crash: The August incident occurred when her tour bus struck a disabled tractor-trailer in Illinois. The legal documents initially claimed both drivers failed to keep a 'safe and proper lookout' and the accident could have been avoided. Miranda and her mother also said they were 'disfigured and disabled' and 'have lost their normal lives' due to the crash.
The star has had an unlucky time recently and was granted a restraining order earlier this month after an allegedly obsessed fan threatened to kill himself in order to prove his love for her. A judge ordered Joshua Stockton to stay at least yards away from Miranda and banned him from contacting her for the next three years. Drama: The year-old actress was granted a restraining order against an allegedly obsessed fan named Joshua Stockton earlier this month.

His creative mind, and sense of style is making him a powerful influencer. In The Little Communist, his blog portraying his social engagement and ability to tell interesting stories, he shares various perspective on society, art, fashion, travel and culture. Bohan Qiu is pure inspiration. Mixing Shit Up. I get inspired by a lot of random things, and I love putting them all together.
Such as the baggy suit trousers with perfectly ironed lines of old Hong Kong men paired with a Beverly Hills tourist T-shirt and throw a 50s emerald green silk kimono on top, and of course my favorite white UBER Hat. Random stuff is so much more fun. I get inspired when I am far, far away from home. People who do completely different things from me. They can be politicians, engineers, programmers, sculpture artists, documentary film makers etc.
They can always offer me a brand new perspective on what else is out there in the world I need to learn, respect, or learn to respect. I have always wanted to create something that I would be proud of and respect myself doing.
He's a white Australian guy, and I am a whole melting pot of ethnicities over here As Elle burrows further into her relationship and college insecurities, Marco is a source of flirtatious comfort. Well, maybe not no drama, he concedes.
Ariana denied the rumor, but Jennette explained that Nickelodeon had put her in "an We are very proud of the show and its talented cast and we wish them the best," the network said in a statement. She's been dating her Between co-star Jesse Carere, who happens to play her A Mini iCarly Reunion!
It is also very rarely called Nennette, Jennath, or Jennathan. They are considered to be best friends, but recently, they have referred to each other only as "friends", which might have been because they are tired of people spreading rumors about them or urging them to date. Both Jennette and Nathan have denied any romantic connection between each other and have stated they see each other like friends or even siblings.
Jathan has nothing to do with Seddie. Seddie refers to the pairing of Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson , the characters that they portray. Their recent tweets are joking with each other noted by the smiley and winking faces. Nathan and Jennette have a lot of inside jokes with each other and are still close friends. Both claim to like it when the three main characters are platonic, yet have made several Seddie hints without ever giving too much away. This two may have a "Seddie" history, but when they're hanging on set, they're perfectly happy being best buds.
McCurdy has also appeared in a number of television series, including Victorious , Zoey , True Jackson, VP , Malcolm in the Middle , and Lincoln Heights , and has also produced, written, and starred in her own online series titled What's Next for Sarah? McCurdy started her acting career in at the age of eight on Mad TV. In , she had the chance to act with her inspiration, Harrison Ford , in the film Hollywood Homicide.
She has also appeared in several commercials, such as one for Sprint and a public service announcement on crossing the road safely. In , she won a starring role in the Nickelodeon TV series iCarly as Sam Puckett , a series she would be a part of until its end in In June , McCurdy announced on her official website that she was working on her debut album.
Miranda Cosgrove is my favorite casting choice as Betty Bryant on this list, but I don't see her going back to high school at Between iCarly.

Bemelmans is impossibly adult but with a childlike whimsy, not unlike McCurdy herself, who turned 23 earlier this year. She was in New York for the week promoting her Netflix show, Between , a post-apocalyptic YA tragedy that was picked up for a second season. Sam was the brash deuteragonist to the carefree, slightly prissy Carly Shay played by Miranda Cosgrove. It was a move guaranteed to produce ratings, and it did. McCurdy was getting a taste of what happens to female teen stars when they reveal a sexuality of their own.
But as would become a hallmark trait, she fought back. You can connect the dots. Shocked someone would stoop so low. The show won, and she lost to her co-star Ariana Grande. At first people speculated that McCurdy was laying low because of the photo leak, but there were reports that McCurdy was feuding with both the network and Grande, whose singing career was just taking off. TMZ reported that McCurdy was getting paid less than Grande, despite the fact that the duo had equal billing on the show.
Then her sister Trina gets sidelined by allergies right before her big performance at the Hollywood Arts school. Who can possibly step in for her? Let her sing it!
Back in , he guest-starred in an episode of iCarly before moving on to Zakhar Perez likely adjusted to the large cast of The Kissing Booth with he's dating co-star Joey King, she's reportedly dating The Act producer Steven Piet. However, he did playfully address those King rumors when asked if.
Mild spoilers for The Kissing Booth 2 ahead. At the end of the hit Netflix sequel, Marco earnestly vows to pursue a relationship with his Dance Dance Mania partner. He'll likely stick to his word in the newly-announced Kissing Booth 3 , which has already completed filming. Ahead, everything we know about Zakhar Perez, including his own romantic status and whether he actually did all of that singing in the movie.
Zakhar Perez grew up in Northwest Indiana and got his start in the entertainment business by doing regional musical theater. Despite his musical background, Zakhar Perez told Glamour he was "immediately spooked" by the prospect of multiple musical numbers in The Kissing Booth 2. Zakhar Perez admitted that he had never played guitar like his character Marco does.
Instead, he mastered piano growing up.
So, why was it pulled from the air after just 36 episodes? There's the theory that Jennette was getting paid less than Ariana, even though they had equal responsibilities on the show. Ariana denied the rumor, but Jennette explained that Nickelodeon had put her in "an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation" and that she had to look out for herself. The show which debuted in June went on hiatus in April , and was finally cancelled in July. Some fans of the show worried that Jennette and Ariana actually didn't get along off-screen , especially after rumors emerged that Jennette unfollowed Ariana on social media.
In that time, the rumors about the star TV producer have not stopped shows you saw as a kid: iCarly, Victorious, Zoey , Drake & Josh.
With Freddie behind the camera, and Carly and Sam hosting the show, you never know what to expect! When Carly takes the blame for one of Sam's pranks, Miss Briggs makes them run talent show tryouts. With the help of Freddie, they film the auditions. When Miss Briggs rejects all their favorite contestants, Carly and Sam decide to host their talented classmates on their own online web show, iCarly. Carly and Sam compete against Freddie and Spencer to see who can come up with the best plan to get more kids to watch the iCarly webcast.
Things get crazy when all their plans go horribly wrong. When over three thousand dance clips come in, Carly, Sam, and Freddie find themselves trying to stay up all night to watch the videos. They fall asleep and each have a crazy musical dream. Carly has a crush on a boy at school named Jake. He's really cool and hot. Since Carly likes him, she invites Jake to sing and play guitar on her web show. Unfortunately, she learns too late that Jake is the worst singer in the world.
Carly and Spencer's granddad makes a surprise visit. He's very concerned that Spencer is too irresponsible and wacky to be Carly's guardian.

"My Sekret War" by Rina Hajra, Glendale
My name is Rina Hajra, and my creative spark is acting and fillmmaking. I am currently in the process of creating my first film, titled "My Sekret War". I am the writer, executive producer, and actress of the project.
"My Sekret War" is a war drama inspired by the genocide of the 1990's in southeast Europe. However, the heart of the story is the message of self-acceptance and overcoming evil. Here is a brief synopsis of the film:
An innocent little girl is confronted with the cruelties of war. In moments of terror, she reveals a secret that shatters her identity and morality. Ten years later, settled in a city in America, she meets a friend from her past–the only person who might unlock her long-held secret. Will revealing the truth free from her pain or will it only cause more devastation?
We are transforming this script into a powerful short film, and the five-day shoot is scheduled for October 2017 in and around Phoenix, AZ. We are excited to involve numerous Arizona actors and crew members in order to make this a great film!
Thank you for the opportunity to share my story.

Friday night was here and another pantomime for us to enjoy! This time we had the treat of watching Cinderella at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House on Westgate Road. We loved Enchanted Entertainment's production of Snow White last year, so knew we would be in for a treat. We were pleased that Charlie Richmond was back with his Geordie jokes and daftness as Buttons & Lewis Denny as Dandini but we were looking forward to the live vocals of Collabro's Jamie Lambert, X Factor's Lola Saunders, and Maureen Nolan too. All of whom have a great track record of recording & performing in musicals.
The panto market is as buoyant as ever in the North East which was evident for in the sell-out show for the second show of the three-week run. Us Geordies can't seem to get enough of the traditional Christmas fun.
Enchanted Entertainment has pulled together a cracking performance at the Tyne Theatre. Focusing on everything that makes a Traditional Pantomime a success. The story of Cinderella is such a well loved and known tale, that even before we were at the Theatre the kids were talking about it.
With a flash & a bang, the Fairy God Mother (Maureen Nolan) burst onto the stage to set the scene and introduced us to Cinderella. In the first Village scene, Cinderella (Lola Saunders) bopped along with a supporting cast of dancers to 'You can't stop the Beat' from Hairspray. We were right about the vocals as the singing was spot on & in perfect time to the live orchestra. I'll also add that the audio in this panto was the best we've experienced this year. The balance between singing and music made every word crystal clear.
Lovelorn Buttons (Charlie Richmond) was in love with Cinderella, but a rendition of 'Count on Me' proved she wasn't interested in him in that way in true panto fashion.
Baron Hardup (Connor Byrne) & Cinderella began to prepare for the return of his step-daughters from a Finishing School and they were as grotesque and funny as you can get. The 'girls' were nightmares from their Towie-Essex exaggerated accents and their constant put-downs of Cinderella didn't let up. Their costumes really were fantastic in leopard print clashing colours & Buttons was on hand to get them back with a few cheeky retorts.
Prince Charming (Jamie Lambert) seemed a little nervous at times in his role, but again the vocals were where he shined. The Greatest Showman is getting plenty of royalties this year as 'A million dreams' was performed by the Prince & Cinderella in the forest scene. These guys could sing though so it was very enjoyable.
Also, the "12 days of Christmas" with the usual daft props were given a Geordie makeover "Three Byker dummies" (sausage rolls!) & a kiss from a bonny Geordie where poor Jen from the audience was given the honour of planting a smacker on Buttons at the end of each verse!
The second half after the interval really picked up the pace with a fantastic Ball scene. You cannot book a Nolan sister & not have the classic 'I'm in the Mood for Dancing' which got everyone singing along. The song was interspersed with 'Time After Time' and 'One Moment in Time' which was a fantastic musical arrangement.
Soon it was time for the cast to take their bows at the wedding ceremony. The staging really came into its own here and really did look super professional and glitzy. Enchanted Entertainment have a winning formula & are wise to have already signed Charlie Richmond back up for next years show!
The cast was happy to swing by the bar for a chat and some photos with the girls which they loved!
We were kindly given press tickets for this show.
Next article Walker's Crispmas celebration! – I love a gimmick!
It was fab wasn't it?
We saw it on Friday, best panto I've been to in years!

"It's No Crime to Be Alive."
Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison
A 'Romantic Fantasy,' 1947's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, based on the novel by R.A. Dick, tells the story of widower Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) who moves in to an English seaside cottage which is haunted by the ghost of it's former owner, Captain Daniel Gregg (Rex Harrison). Lucy's daughter Anna (Natalie Wood) and maid Martha (Edna Best) join her, though Gregg only appears to Lucy, agreeing that Anna is "...too young for ghosts." When Lucy's investments fail, Gregg helps her out by dictating his memoirs to her. The resulting book, 'Blood and Swash' proves to be a best-seller and Lucy earns enough to keep the cottage. Of course, during the writing of the book, Lucy and Daniel fall in love. Knowing their romance is hopeless, Daniel advises Lucy to find a "real" (i.e. living) man.
Lucy eventually goes to London to publish her book, and meets charismatic children's author Miles Fairly (George Sanders). Fairly follows Lucy to Gull Cottage and begins to woo her. Knowing he doesn't stand a chance against a living person, Captain Gregg agrees to leave Mrs. Muir alone to pursue her happiness. Lucy is later devastated to learn that Fairly is not only married with a family of his own, but has behaved similarly with other women. She soon shuts herself away at Gull Cottage with Martha. Years later, a grown Anna (Vanessa Brown) returns to Gull Cottage with her Navy Lieutenant fiance, telling her mother she knew all along about Gregg and Fairly and that Fairly has grown fat and bald and has been abandoned by his wife. Lucy and Martha grow old together and on her death bed, Gregg appears to Lucy, lifting her youthful spirit up and the two of them disappear into the mist. The movie's original trailer can be seen here. I've embedded a fan-made homage below:
24 years later, the movie inspired a 1968 TV sitcom starring Hope Lange as 'Carolyn' Muir; Edward Mulhaire as Daniel Gregg; character actress Reta Shaw (Mary Poppins) as Martha and gay icon Charles Nelson Reilly as the Captain's wimpy descendant, Claymore. The series ran for two full seasons and was my youthful introduction to the story.
The original film, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, is just about as atmospheric and romantic as they come. Harrison is superb as the externally gruff Captain Gregg, whose heart is captured after death, while Tierney (best known for her Oscar nominated performance in Otto Preminger's Laura) is simply lovely. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir may not be a scary ghost movie by any means, but it is certainly worth a look for film students and lovers of old-fashioned love stories.
Prospero.
