Back to Getting to your cancer appointment
The University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre welcomed its first patients in April 2012. It is now a busy centre providing facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of cancer and non-cancer conditions alongside Macmillan Support and Information Services for patients, their carers and families.
Huntley Street
WC1E 6AG
Many of the patients we treat at the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre are at higher risk from Covid-19. For this reason we are severely restricting access to the building including a policy of no visitors except in exceptional circumstances. Everyone entering the building will be screened before entry and may not be admitted.
If you are due to visit the Cancer Centre and develop symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) please contact your clinical team as soon as possible, prior to attending the Cancer Centre, so that we can confirm if it is still appropriate for your visit to go ahead.

Travelling to University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre
Getting to the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre: public transport
By bus:
Bus stops around University College Hospital are changing as a result of the West End Project. Southbound buses will move from Gower Street to Tottenham Court Road.
Buses 14, 24, 73, 134 and 390 will serve Tottenham Court Road north and southbound. The 73 (toward Oxford Circus) and the 390 (to Victoria) will stop outside University College Hospital on Euston Road.
View a local map of bus and tube stops. Please note: You can travel on buses and trams using an Oyster or contactless payment card with pay as you go credit, or you can add a Travelcard or Bus & Tram pass to your Oyster card. You are no longer able to use cash to pay for your bus fare.
Nearest tube stations are:
Warren Street (Northern / Victoria Lines)
Euston Square (Circle / Hammersmith & City / Metropolitan Lines).
Getting to UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre: cycling
If you cycle to any of our hospitals you can check available local cycle parking here. (Please enter postcode WC1E 6AG for the Macmillan Cancer Centre.)
We have a cycle parking area for our patents and visitors surrounding the outside of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing on Grafton Way and Gower Street. There is capacity for 52 bicycles under cover and behind railings. General security monitoring is carried out, but entry and exit to this area is open at all times and so it is essential to bring a suitable lock with you if you plan to use it.
Camden Council is currently implementing a scheme called the West End Project, which aims to reduce motor traffic congestion, air pollution and provide new green spaces and safer provisions for cyclists. You can find maps on their website at https://www3.camden.gov.uk/westendproject/ showing the new facilities they will be providing for pedestrians and cyclists around Tottenham Court Road.
Cancer Center lifts
The Cancer Centre is served by two lifts: the house lift and the garden lift. These lifts provide access to different parts of the Centre. Please check your appointment letter to see which lift you should use or ask at reception.
Visiting by car/private transport
Patient transport drop off and collection at the UCH campus
Patient Transport Services [PTS], London Ambulance Services [LAS] and private ambulances drop off and collect patients at the front of University College Hospital [UCH] on Euston Road.
Access should only be from Euston Road and not from Hampstead or Tottenham Court Road. Private vehicles are not permitted to drop off or collect patients from this area nor are they allowed to cross the solid white line into the PTS area, passing across the solid white line in an attempt to turn into the ambulance bay from the west is a dangerous manoeuvre and is an offence prohibited under Regulations 10 and 26 of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2012.
The TSRGD specifies traffic signs and their associated meanings, as well as the regulations associated with them, if breached, Transport for London [TfL] may issue a Penalty Charge Notice [PCN] to unauthorised vehicles.
We are currently working with Transport for London to find out if we can make the current drop off and collection areas bigger and easier to access.
Private vehicles drop off and collection at the UCH campus
Private vehicles can drop off and collect from Beaumont Place at the rear of UCH, parking will not be permitted, only drop off and collection. There are very limited drop off points for other car users. However, when the blue badge/disabled spaces are empty, they can be used by non-blue badge holders for drop off and collection to the University College Hospital. There are no other patient or visitor car parking facilities at UCLH.
Car parking including blue badge/disabled car parking and drop-off
Car parking at the Macmillan Cancer Centre
Unfortunately car parking (other than patients with Blue Badges who are attending hospital outpatient appointments, day cases and the Emergency Department) is not available at the Macmillan Cancer Centre.

What is a the parking dispensation scheme?
It is Camden Council's parking scheme for patients with Blue Badges attending University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). Areas in Camden, south of Euston Road, are not covered by the national Blue Badge disabled parking scheme. If you want to park near, or in, UCLH disabled parking bays, you will need to apply for a parking dispensation to use with your Blue Badge.
A parking dispensation is required for parking in and around:
University College Hospital at 235 Euston Road
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing at 25 Grafton Way
University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre at Huntley Street
Hospital for Tropical Diseases at Mortimer Market
Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health at 170 Tottenham Court Road
Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals at Huntley Street
University College Hospital Grafton Way Building (opening soon).
Parking dispensations are not required for the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, or our Westmoreland Street hospital.
How to apply for a parking dispensation
When you arrive for your appointment at University College Hospital (UCH), the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre, the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospital, or UCH Grafton Way Building, park your car and ask for a parking dispensation at the reception desk. You will need to bring the following:
Your Blue Badge
Your vehicle registration number
Proof of hospital attendance showing appointment time and date, e.g. clinic appointment letter.
If you are given a follow-up appointment while at the hospital you can return to the ground floor reception desk before you leave to obtain a parking dispensation to take away with you for your next appointment.
Please note: Parking dispensations are only issued to UCLH patients with Blue Badges who are attending hospital outpatient appointments, day cases and the Emergency Department. They are not issued to carers, relatives, visitors or friends who are Blue Badge holders bringing a non-Blue Badge holder patient to an appointment. Parking dispensations are not issued to inpatients; overnight parking is not permitted.
If you have a question about disabled parking, or would like to apply for a parking dispensation in advance please email your query to uclh.disabledparking@nhs.net or telephone 020 3447 9922. Please note that at least one week's advance notice is required.
No other car parking is available.
For information on parking in the areas surrounding our hospitals please visit http://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/nw1_2bu/
To book transport please contact the patient transport service
Reclaiming transport fares
If you are in receipt of benefits you may be entitled to reclaim transport fares when visiting the hospital for an inpatient or outpatient appointment. Please ask the clinic staff for an attendance form and take this to the appropriate hospital's Cashiers Office. Reimbursement can be made at the time of your visit if you can produce your benefit book.
Assisted travel for disabled passengers
If you need assistance to plan or make a journey the National Rail Enquiries website provides information on the support available.
The page provides a summary of the services available including a list of train companies and their access information.
It is recommended that you book help 24 hours before you travel. This enables staff to give you as much information as possible before your travel; make alternative arrangements for you if the station is not step free or not staffed at the time you wish to travel; and ensure that there are enough staff for all the assistance requests at a station.
Congestion charge and ultra low emissions zones
If you are driving to UCLH please be aware that most of our hospitals are within the congestion charge and the ultra-low emissions zones. Find out more on the TFL website:

A SHORT HIKE
One of our favourite discoveries in 2021 was the indie title A Short Hike – out now!
Hike, climb, and soar through the peaceful mountainside landscapes of hawk peak provincial park. Follow the marked trails or explore the backcountry as you make your way to the summit. Along the way, meet other hikers, discover hidden treasures, and take in the world around you.
A Short Hike began as a personal art project in December 2018. Game developer Adam Robinson-Yu was feeling worn out from working on his RPG project and took a break to design some natural landscapes. Inspired by summer hiking trips and exploring forests in his youth, he wanted to create something that could evoke those same feelings of peace and discovery. The project soon blossomed into a full-fledged title. Mark Sparling joined the project to compose music for the game. A Short Hike was selected by the folks at Humble Bundle and first released as the Humble Original for the month of April 2019. Since the Humble release, Adam has been working on a content update for the full release in July. A Short Hike hopes to provide players with a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of life in its scenic mountainsides.
Explore the island any way you like. Choose your own path to follow and see where it leads you. You never know what you might stumble into!
Hike at your own pace — there's no need to rush to the summit! Take your time fishing along the river banks or swimming by the lakeshore.
Collect hidden treasures to reach new heights. Try taking a dive off the mountain peaks to soar above the forests.
Chat with the other hikers you meet along your route. You might be able to help each other out!
Listen to a lush original soundtrack by Mark Sparling that progresses dynamically as you explore the wilderness.
REACHING THE TOP
We're giving this game a score of 8 out of 10 – it's so good you could argue the game is too short, but that's part of it's charm! Plus the clue is in the title…
It is worth noting Mark Sparling produces beautiful

On the generic construction of identity-based signatures with additional properties
On cycle-free lattices with high rate label codes
Amin Sakzad 1, and Mohammad-Reza Sadeghi 1,
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Amirkabir University of Technology, No. 424, Hafez Avenue, Tehran 15914, Iran, Iran
Received October 2009 Revised June 2010 Published November 2010
Etzion et al. have shown that high rate codes based on cycle-free Tanner graphs have minimum distance at most $2$. This result was extended by Sadeghi et al. to a small class of lattices based on Construction $D'$ only. In this paper, we prove a key theorem which relates the minimum distance of every lattice to the minimum distance of its label code. Then, using this powerful tool along with some new bounds on minimum distance of cycle-free group codes, we generalize those results to a large class of lattices here called RPS and PFP lattices. More importantly, we show that this class of cycle-free lattices are not so good in the view of coding gain.

Nature loss 'dwarfs bank crisis'
Richard.Black
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:44 UTC
Rainforest in Kakum National Park, Ghana
Losses are great, and continuous, says the report
Barcelona - The global economy is losing more money from the disappearance of forests than through the current banking crisis, according to an EU-commissioned study.
It puts the annual cost of forest loss at between $2 trillion and $5 trillion.
The figure comes from adding the value of the various services that forests perform, such as providing clean water and absorbing carbon dioxide.
The study, headed by a Deutsche Bank economist, parallels the Stern Review into the economics of climate change.
It has been discussed during many sessions here at the World Conservation Congress.
Some conservationists see it as a new way of persuading policymakers to fund nature protection rather than allowing the decline in ecosystems and species, highlighted in the release on Monday of the Red List of Threatened Species, to continue.
Capital losses
Speaking to BBC News on the fringes of the congress, study leader Pavan Sukhdev emphasised that the cost of natural decline dwarfs losses on the financial markets.
"It's not only greater but it's also continuous, it's been happening every year, year after year," he told BBC News.
"So whereas Wall Street by various calculations has to date lost, within the financial sector, $1-$1.5 trillion, the reality is that at today's rate we are losing natural capital at least between $2-$5 trillion every year."
The review that Mr Sukhdev leads, The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (Teeb), was initiated by Germany under its recent EU presidency, with the European Commission providing funding.
The first phase concluded in May when the team released its finding that forest decline could be costing about 7% of global GDP. The second phase will expand the scope to other natural systems.
Stern message
Key to understanding his conclusions is that as forests decline, nature stops providing services which it used to provide essentially for free.
So the human economy either has to provide them instead, perhaps through building reservoirs, building facilities to sequester carbon dioxide, or farming foods that were once naturally available.
Or we have to do without them; either way, there is a financial cost.
The Teeb calculations show that the cost falls disproportionately on the poor, because a greater part of their livelihood depends directly on the forest, especially in tropical regions.
The greatest cost to western nations would initially come through losing a natural absorber of the most important greenhouse gas.
Just as the Stern Review brought the economics of climate change into the political arena and helped politicians see the consequences of their policy choices, many in the conservation community believe the Teeb review will lay open the economic consequences of halting or not halting the slide in biodiversity.
"The numbers in the Stern Review enabled politicians to wake up to reality," said Andrew Mitchell, director of the Global Canopy Programme, an organisation concerned with directing financial resources into forest preservation.
"Teeb will do the same for the value of nature, and show the risks we run by not valuing it adequately."
A number of nations, businesses and global organisations are beginning to direct funds into forest conservation, and there are signs of a trade in natural ecosystems developing, analogous to the carbon trade, although it is clearly very early days.
Some have ethical concerns over the valuing of nature purely in terms of the services it provides humanity; but the counter-argument is that decades of trying to halt biodiversity decline by arguing for the intrinsic worth of nature have not worked, so something different must be tried.
Whether Mr Sukhdev's arguments will find political traction in an era of financial constraint is an open question, even though many of the governments that would presumably be called on to fund forest protection are the ones directly or indirectly paying for the review.
But, he said, governments and businesses are getting the point.
"Times have changed. Almost three years ago, even two years ago, their eyes would glaze over.
"Today, when I say this, they listen. In fact I get questions asked - so how do you calculate this, how can we monetize it, what can we do about it, why don't you speak with so and so politician or such and such business."
The aim is to complete the Teeb review by the middle of 2010, the date by which governments are committed under the Convention of Biological Diversity to have begun slowing the rate of biodiversity loss.


Pastoral care programmes are provided by homeroom teachers to support students with their organization skills; discuss emergent issues and support personal and character development.
JWA has full access to two highly experienced counselors, both spend one day a month on campus at JWA.
They work closely with teachers, administrators and other support services to support the social, emotional and academic needs of students.
Our counselors provide assistance at a variety of levels, from supporting teachers in the classroom manage social and behavioral issues, development of preventative programmes as well as our popular series of regular parent workshops.
The goal of counseling services across the school is to promote personal well-being, healthy relationships and the successful balance between academic and extracurricular involvement for our students.

Q: The Ultimate L in a Nutshell: On Descriptive Articles Everybody who catches a fleeting glimpse of Woodin's central papers on Ultimate $L$ (i.e. Suitable Extender Models I & II), admits that they aren't so tempting for lazy readers who don't like to deal with a lot of technicalities in their very first approach towards such an important topic.
On the other hand there are a lot of lazy but curious readers (like me) out there who seek royal roads leading to the main ideas of such long technical papers; the descriptive articles explaining the history, philosophy and general ideas behind the proofs and related conjectures (e.g. $HOD$ conjecture).
In this direction a simple Googling brings up several related articles and blog posts as well as uncountablly many lecture slide shows (mainly by Woodin himself) including the followings:

*

*Woodin's "The realm of the infinite" in the Infinity: New Research Frontiers.

*Caicedo's "Luminy – Hugh Woodin: Ultimate L" on his website.

This question is intended to provide a list of descriptive articles on Woodin's Ultimate $L$ project. Please let me know if you are aware of any related under preparation article too.

A: The latest issue of the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic has a long article by Woodin on Ultimate L:
WOODIN, W. (2017). IN SEARCH OF ULTIMATE-L THE 19TH MIDRASHA MATHEMATICAE LECTURES. The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, 23(1), 1-109. doi:10.1017/bsl.2016.34
Might not be a royal road, though!
EDIT (David Roberts): As given in Mohammad Golshani's answer, free version here (pdf link, Wayback Machine).

A: You may also look at the following:
1) How Woodin changed his mind: new thoughts on the continuum hypothesis.
2) Tutorial outline: suitable extender sequences. Computational prospects of infinity. Part I. Tutorials, 195–253.
3) The weak ultimate L conjecture. Infinity, computability, and metamathematics, 309–329, Tributes, 23, Coll. Publ., London, 2014.
Regarding reference 3, the following is the review of it in Mathscinet by Kanamori:
The author provides an accessible, very helpful account of pivotal issues surrounding his current work toward the inner model "Ultimate L''. Most of the work appeared in his first long paper on suitable extender sequences [J. Math. Log. 10 (2010), no. 1-2, 101–339; MR2802084] in a general, very technical context, and here, in 20 pages, the author provides a thematically clear line through the heart of the main issues.

Regarding works in preparation, I may refer to the references given in Woodin's paper mentioned by Todd Eisworth (see also http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:34649600 for an open access to the paper). You can see:

Q: Change order of cols with push and pull Bootstrap I just discovered the "push" and "pull" classes in Bootstrap, but am having a lot of trouble implementing them the way I'd like. On XS screens, my content appears as follows, which is correct:
|A||B||C|

But on SM screens, I need it to be:
|B|
|C|
|A|

My HTML is below. I tried adding "col-sm-push-10" to the div that contains my button, but that just pushed it to the right within it's own div. I need to actually MOVE this div down. Any help would be much appreciated!!

<button type="button" class="btn">A</button>

B

Cr

A: You should write your elements in order that you want to see on -sm-.
Then adjust their position at -xs-:

        B

        C

        A

By the way, you should use li only as direct child of ul as well as not using other elements such as div directly inside ul, because it is not valid.

A: Usually you'd want elements to stack vertically on xs screens, and remain horizontally on larger (sm) screens, so this is an unusual case where you actually want the opposite. Create the stacking sm layout first, then adjust for xs using push-pull.. A-B-C on large. B-C-A on mobile.

                B

                C

I spoke on Sunday for the first time since I was released as bishop. It was a little weird, as I was used to speaking with some authority, and now I'm just another guy. However, when sharing a message about the gospel, I guess you still have the authority of the Holy Ghost.
It seemed to go well, and I had some positive feedback.
You will certainly get a sense for what my message was, but of course you miss out on the emphasis that was put on certain words and phrases.
Let me start with a story I heard recently…In 1914, a boy named Jerry (Siegel) was born in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. In the same year, a boy named Joe (Shuster) was born in Toronto, before moving to Jerry's neighbourhood when he was around 10 years old. Jerry was always a small boy, and he was often teased. Sometimes, this wasn't his fault. At one point in the first grade, he asked for a hall pass from his teacher so he could go to the bathroom. The teacher wouldn't let him, and he had an embarrassing accident. There were other humiliating experiences during his school years. Since he spent a lot of time alone, he started to write stories about a bad man trying to control the world. He called him The Super-Man.
Jerry was the youngest of 6 kids and his dad ran a used clothing store in the city.
What a horrible thing to happen to anyone. What I find interesting about the story is the way that Jerry Siegel reacted. He'd had a difficult childhood, and his original stories were about a man trying to control the world (apparently it was a bald man with telepathic powers). It was something that I'm sure was on his mind as he was being bullied. When he faced this traumatic event in his family, there are those who would have thought he was justified if his character had gone darker and violent. But at that moment in time, Jerry went the other way. His character became a hero. Instead of being a bad guy, The Super-Man became Superman, a hero for all, someone who could protect people who had been bullied like him, as opposed to someone who contributed to it. The rest is history. The first comic with Superman appeared in 1938, and for the last 74 years there have been countless people who have been entertained and inspired by the adventures of Superman.
I want to talk about moments these sorts of moments, where we need to decide which path we take. What are we doing to make sure that when we have those moments, we are making the right decisions? Are there moments in our lives which, if we had made a different decision, would have made a drastic difference? I'm sure that there are. Families that have fallen apart because of infidelity certainly could be on a different track if it weren't for specific moments. People who lose their jobs because of dishonesty or other such things definitely would have a different path if it weren't for the wrong decisions they made at that moment.
It was a terrible tragedy brought on by a minor error—a matter of only a few degrees.
President Uchtdorf went on to explain how, like a pilot, we need to make regular course corrections so we can get back on track.
The longer we delay corrective action, the larger the needed changes become, and the longer it takes to get back on the correct course—even to the point where a disaster might be looming.
We are constantly making decisions. The freedom to choose is a vital part of our mortal existence. We make decisions about how we treat someone, what activity we're going to participate in, and what we will say. When we find that it wasn't the right decision or there was a better decision that could have been made, we'll have another moment to choose. We can continue on the path we were on, or we can make the necessary correction and start down the right path.
I guess the question for me is how many of those moments are we going to have? How many chances are we going to have to make the right decisions? How many times can we repent and correct our course?
Yea, and as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me.
This scripture is pretty clear. If we sin, and repent, we'll be forgiven. If we sin ten times and repent, we'll be forgiven. I guess this goes even to the extent that if we sin a hundred times or a thousand times and repent a hundred times or a thousand times, we'll be forgiven. But we know that at some point we have to stop. The decisions that we make at those moments need to get us back on the right path so that we aren't committing those same sins again. The gift of repentance and forgiveness gives us all hope for a better world.
Amulek also warned later about delaying our repentance.
Now is the time to prepare to meet God. We are not to procrastinate. Now is the time. It isn't tomorrow; it wasn't yesterday; it is now!
One last scripture… This makes me think of what Samuel the Lamanite said to the wicked Nephites. The people had focused on their possessions and their riches for far too long. They were not remembering God and how he had blessed them and their fathers. He warned the people about waiting until the "days of their poverty" before calling on God. In fact, it was already too late.
The people had been sinning for so long, that their time left was too short for them to repent in this life. So, how is it possible that one scripture says that if we repent we'll be forgiven, and another scripture says that these people couldn't repent and be forgiven? Well, it isn't that God wouldn't forgive them. With the decisions that they made, those were the consequences. They didn't leave themselves enough time to have meaningful repentance. As Samule said, "it is everlastingly too late." They didn't have enough time to make restitution and to allow their hearts to change fully. These people had the records of the prophets from the beginning. They had been warned by the prophets in their midst that they need to change their ways. But in those moments, they made the wrong decisions.
Every day, we are in a similar situation. We are faced with living in this fallen world and fitting in, but thankfully we hear the voices of parents, leaders, and prophets warning us. There is a moment where you are standing with someone at work, and they say something unflattering about someone else. Perhaps you are standing in the hallway at school and someone comes along and invites you to go someplace you probably shouldn't go. You spend time at home, but you are spending too much time on the computer or on your phone and the kids want to go do something. In any of these situations, what do you do?
A while ago Elder Bednar spoke to the YSA about seeing things as they really are. He said that the one of the main roles of the Holy Ghost is to help us see truth. The Church put together a beautiful Mormon Message based on this thought. The video shows a man in front of a computer screen, the lights are dim and the glow of the screen is lighting up his face. There are 2 different parts of the video. One shows where in that moment that he is called upon to be with his family, he is kind of hiding in a room and his reaction implies that he made the decision to indulge his physical appetites. The other example shows him closing his screen and returning to be with his family.
The other day I was speaking to someone about this topic. I shared that I had wondered if there were definitive moments in our lives that make us who we are. This person said that they definitely believed that and went on to share their experience. With permission, let me share just a bit. This person was married but the spouse had gotten into drugs. One day the spouse was snorting cocaine and had left some on the coffee table. The spouse handed the other spouse a rolled up bill and said, "Here, I have something for you." The implication was that she could have the drugs. She indicated she was going to throw it out, and he asked why. She said that since it was given to her, it was hers, and she didn't want it, so she was going to throw it out. Ultimately he used it, and she didn't. This person I was speaking to still had troubles and challenges throughout her life, but she looks at that moment as a defining one. She feels that if she had tried it just once, she'd have been caught, and might very well have ended up on the street. As it was, eventually decisions were made that led her to St Catharines where she joined the Church. In sharing this story with me, the person said that it was good to talk about these things, so we can remember those moments. Hopefully our remembering will shape the decisions we make in the future moments.
Along with the moments that we have in life where we are consciously making decisions, I think there are also moments that God lets us experience. These could be for our benefit or for the benefit of others. I have wondered about moments that affect a member's activity. Was there a moment that would have kept someone active in the Church? Perhaps more importantly, was there a moment that depended on someone else that would have kept them in the Church, but that person wasn't there for them? I can picture a person struggling silently. They are waiting, hoping for someone to come and talk with them. Sure, it'd be great if they could reach out and find someone to talk to themselves, but in their state of mind, they just can't do it. Unfortunately the visiting teachers and home teachers don't visit. Perhaps the person came to Church and no one said hi to them. We've lost them. Always remember, that when we make decisions, they don't just affect us, but everyone around us. I remember for a period of time I would pray that despite my failings, my family wouldn't suffer because of them. This made sense to me. I was being unselfish, and praying for them. Then one day it hit me hard. How can I pray that my failings won't affect them, when obviously my failings affect me? If I want my family to be happy, and loving, then I need to be happy and loving. I need to make the right decisions myself and then create an environment where my family can learn to make the right decisions.
Another aspect of these moments that God lets us experience is that you have to be involved. I'm sure you've been to meetings or conferences, maybe even gone home and visiting teaching, where you felt clearly, "I'm glad I was here". Well, you were there. What would you have missed out on if you hadn't been there? I think so much of the gospel is like this. You've probably heard me say before that I know we can't do everything, but we have to do something. Is every RS activity exciting? Is every Mutual activity fun? Is the food at every ward picnic or Christmas dinner awesome? Is every talent show showcasing world-class talent? Of course not, but that's all part of being in this Church community. We are brothers and sisters. We are a community of latter-day saints, and we need to be there for one another.
For me, a paradigm that I keep going back to is Isaiah chapter 9. Here's Isaiah who [has] one of the most boring [sections]. [What] you have to wade through to get past the Isaiah chapters in the Book of Mormon! Here's Isaiah and he's talking about "the Midianites" this and "in Egypt" this, and "grinding the faces". Then suddenly if you're not paying attention, you miss it. We get this anthem to the Christ. The Wonderful Counselor. The Prince of Peace. If you blinked, you missed it. That's how the gospel works. We're mired in banality and there are these eruptions of the divine into our lives that occur from moment to moment.
What a great analogy. Sometimes we do go through the motions, and we might ignore what is going on around us because it always seems the same. But those moments are there for us to feel the spirit if we are paying attention. I think those "eruptions of the divine" can happen frequently if we are looking for them. These are not earth-shattering events, but they reveal the tender mercies of the Lord.
President Hinckley counseled: "It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. … Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions" (Caesar, Circus, or Christ? Brigham Young University Speeches of the Year [26 Oct. 1965], 3).
Brothers and Sisters, we are here for a reason. We are to have joy. We need to make the right decisions at the right moments to bring to pass that joy. Sometimes the tough decisions are the right decisions. They are very hard to make. But if that is what is needed to get us back on track, that is what we need to do.
In conclusion, I want to read to you the words to Hymn 226 Improve the Shining Moments. It is a hymn full of optimism and guidance for how to be happy.
'Tis as a single day.
I'm grateful for the moments that God has given me. I'm grateful that He has let me experience the sorrows and the joys of life. I'm grateful that He trusts me enough to let me make my own decisions.
I pray that we will all have the strength to make the right decisions at the right moments. I know that as we do so, that we will be on the right course, and we will have the capacity to help others stay on the right course.
I know that as we follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we will see the truth before us and we will be able to experience the "eruptions of the divine" in our lives.

Thank you for sharing these thoughts, they are helpful in preparing a lesson.


If you're a Wake County Assistant District Attorney, your mandate is to prosecute crimes charged in the county, under the auspices of the elected DA of the county. If you work in one of the four Wake County general misdemeanor courtrooms, you'll handle everything from minor traffic issues to serious misdemeanor assaults. And Driving While Impaired charges.
But it's the DWI that's going to define your day-to-day work, in large part because of the way the North Carolina General Assembly has structured the DWI statutes in this state. I've written elsewhere about how the NC DWI statutes prevent pleas, even though pleas are essential to an efficient criminal justice system.
As a matter of law – NCGS Sec. 20-138.4 – North Carolina discourages the acceptance of pleas in DWIs to lesser charges than the DWI, discourages the dismissal of DWIs, prevents the use of PJCs for DWIs, and has created a very regimented DWI sentencing scheme where a defendant's outcome is governed by sentencing factors that must be offered by the prosecutor.
The prosecutor's inability to even offer other concessions – such as to allow a defendant to avoid the Interlock system if he wishes to save court resources and get the case resolved fast – means that the prosecutor's hands are tied by law and policy.
This approach to DWI law eats up enormous resources. Even a simple DWI bench trial takes at least an hour. A simple hearing will take at least 40 minutes. If the prosecutor can't offer a plea to a defendant because the law prevents him from doing so, the prosecutor will be trying many more DWI cases than he ordinarily would have to try.
The prosecutor will win most of those DWI cases, because those are the DWIs where the defendant would've taken a plea had it been offered. In other words, those are the DWI cases that are weak for the defendant.
And so it will look on paper as if there's been a high conviction rate. Because who can't win a lot of these DWIs in District Court where the facts are plainly bad for the defendant.
But the question is: at what cost?
The cost to the prosecutor is a courtroom of 60 or 70 defendants in the morning, and another courtroom of 60 or 70 defendants in the afternoon. The cost is that other types of crimes – in particular, assaults or theft crimes – get short shrift.
I'm not excusing a DWI: but most DWI charges do not involve an accident or actual harm to a victim. Theft and larceny crimes do involve harm to a victim. If they take backseats to DWIs, those victims get something less than full justice because of a misallocation of resources.
I am not implying that prosecutors should plea every DWI. They should not. Some DWIs need to be prosecuted to trial. But by tying the prosecutor's hands, the legislature has essentially dictated to the prosecutor how she should act in her own courtroom with respect to a very large subset of cases, which determines how the prosecutor must act with respect to other cases because of the lack of time and resources.


Ever for the reason that phenomenal success of Apple's tablet, the iPad, the hypothesis has run rampant: Will the tablet replace the laptop computer and desktop computer systems? With the looks of the iPad 2, together with Samsung's Galaxy Tab, Blackberry Playbook and HP TouchPad, enterprise professionals and college students are voting with their purchases. Seemingly in droves, these teams are embracing their tablets whereas abandoning their former love, the laptop computer.
Why would that be? The benefit of a tablet laptop over a laptop computer is dimension and weight. Tablets are massive sufficient for the consumer to really see what is occurring on the display screen whereas mild sufficient to hold round simply. Desktops have been gathering mud for just a few years now except for players who want super quantities of energy for graphics or for these many who now substitute their laptop for a tv, downloading media and watching tv and films on a large-screen desktop.
Smartphones are the logical competitors for tablet computer systems. Why are smartphones not filling the hole? Smartphones are proliferating like locusts in the summer time, however smartphone screens are too small for a lot of functions, regardless of the latest hype urging customers to observe motion pictures on their telephones. Proper. Possibly catching a flick on the subway will give you the results you want when you have good eyesight and a gentle hand, but it surely's hardly a super method to totally take pleasure in a movie. A tablet now, that is a special story and a significantly better film expertise.
The good issues about tablet computer systems are the terrific apps, numbering within the tons of thousand, shared with smartphone customers, whether or not Apple, Android or OS. Many, if not most, of those apps, are free or practically so. Give it some thought. You'll be able to digitally transcribe lectures or notes from conferences or lecture rooms with Speaknotes. Create spreadsheets with Numbers. Assemble polished displays with Keynote. Actually, no matter you need to do in an enterprise or in your studies–there's an app for that. Tablet laptop know-how stays in its infancy. iPad 2 and its cohorts are solely second-generation, in any case. Nonetheless, just lately, Nielsen Firm launched figures exhibiting the tablets are already making nice inroads. The research reveals that 35% of desktop and tablet house owners now report utilizing the desktop much less typically or under no circumstances, whereas 32% of laptop computer and tablet house owners say they use the laptop computer much less or under no circumstances. That is super market penetration for such a brand new know-how, demonstrating the ever-present drive to mobility.
Does that imply tablets will dominate the market? That isn't so simply discerned. Loads of customers want the larger screens of laptops or desktops. Tablet computer systems nonetheless wouldn't have the big computing energy of a higher-end laptop computer, although the price is comparatively the identical. And, tablet customers should buy extras, comparable to keyboards and stands, as a way to substitute utterly for a laptop computer.


You have to do a lot more than work hard if you desire to be competitive in today's company world. You have to be in the know about the most recent, updated innovation. This article will assist. According to Moore's Law, technology becomes outdate about every 18 months. So the best method to remain on top of things is to comprehend which patterns are going to continue to accelerate. Here are the greatest ones around today.
Ha, ha ha. If that's the case then not just is there an her latest blog pyramid scheme, however every company on the planet must be a rip-off due to the fact that, "my goodness, they will ultimately run out of individuals to offer things to".
Trump is a man with service stability. In his 1987 book "The Art of the Deal", Trump writes: "I do not do it for the cash (make organisation deals). I have actually got enough, far more than I'll ever require. I do it to do it", an expression which he still stands by today. If it were found that Trump is only backing ACN for the cash, and he doesn't really "enjoy everything about ACN", then this might negatively affect his image, and his trustworthiness. To go back on such a strong statement would offer him the image of a sell-out, and could affect future deals.
ADSL modems give information rates constant with ACN and European digital hierarchies and can be bought with a variety of speed varieties and capability. The least configuration offers 1.5 or 2.0 Mbps downstream and a 16 kbps duplex channel; additional give rates of 6.1 Mbps and 64 kbps duplex. Products with downstream rates approximately 8 Mbps and duplex rates as much as 640 kbps are obtainable today. ADSL modems will accommodate ATM bring with changeable rates and settlement for ATM overhead, as well as IP.
Of the 161 constituents with decreases Energy (55.81%), telecommunications services (50.00%) and Energies (45.16%) had the greatest rate of declines. Consumer Staples (14.29%), Health Care (18.87%) and Industrials (28.33%) had the most affordable rate of reductions.
But simply having an online presence is inadequate. You need to ensure that it is part of a complete marketing technique and system that creates leads. MLM leads are the soul of your company. You should have more people to talk with in a day than you have time for. The more individuals you talk with, the more money you will make. The less individuals you speak with, the less money you will make. It is actually that easy. It's difficult, however it is basic.
As Grover left Rick chooses to head back to the medical ward to obtain his possessions and memorabilia to display to the visitors. Soon all the mammals get in the space to see the mongoose proudly standing beside his wall of prizes. Everyone begins to appreciate the krait skeleton along with some of her skin. The kukri on the wall is now cleaned but brings the scars of many battles. Morsol's guard is still marked by the sword dance and Grover's harmed javelin likewise hang on among the walls. High up on the wall is the saber. One appearance at it and Grover's jaw dropped.

P35 Million Worth of Development Assistance Donated during George S.K. Ty Grants Turnover
Written by Laarnie Luna on September 9, 2022 . Posted in Art & Design, Chairman's Page, Disaster Response, Education, Grants, GT Foundation, Media, News, Press Release
Board members and officers of Metrobank Foundation, Inc. and GT Foundation, Inc. lead this year's George S.K. Ty Grants Turnover with 28 development partners on Sept. 5.
As part of Metrobank's 60th anniversary celebration, its corporate social responsibility arm Metrobank Foundation, Inc. (MBFI) and the Ty family foundation GT Foundation, Inc. (GTFI) turned over PhP35 million worth of development grants to 28 development partners during the George S.K. Ty Grants Turnover on September 5.
The theme for this year's giving-back tradition, "Engaging Partnerships, Empowering Communities," showcases the value of collaboration and social involvement to develop solutions towards addressing gaps across sectors and thrusts such as health, education, arts & culture, and livelihood.
"Combining the knowledge and expertise of partners on the ground with the right resources from both public and private institutions, we can reinforce the active participation of the beneficiaries in the decision-making process of programs meant for them. This is key to the sustainability of the initiatives that our beneficiaries have control, responsibility, and ownership of their development," said MBFI president and GTFI executive director Aniceto M. Sobrepeña.
In a video message, Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Z. Duterte congratulated Metrobank for its "accomplishments marked by excellent people-centered engagements and community empowerment that stands out as a source of inspiration, hope, and light for others."
"Collaboration and involvement will define our future. Together, let us listen closely to the heartbeat of our people and our communities in need, lift them up with hope and optimism, and create a caring, loving nation for everyone, especially our children," she added.
Coursed through MBFI and GTFI, this year's assistance was given to development partners that provide holistic interventions to basic humanitarian and social services to communities nationwide.
Sustaining Health and Nutrition

To reinforce the organization's contributions to address hunger and food security, MBFI partnered with Food for the Hungry Philippines to support their supplemental feeding program for 120 malnourished school children and nutrition education for their guardians within four months; Negrense Volunteers for Change Foundation, Inc. to fund the daily supplemental feeding of 138 malnourished children of the farmer members of Bukidnon Organic Farmers Association and neighboring sitios for 180 days; and Caritas Manila to provide daily supplemental feeding, vitamins supplementation, and urban gardening for 100 pregnant and lactating mothers for 180 days.
MBFI, once again, supported World Vision Development Foundation's Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools program that will construct five (5) 10-faucet handwashing facilities in Bohol, Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Norte, and North Cotabato.
Another program supported by MBFI under its Health thrust is the World Surgical Foundation's "Surgeries Accessible to the Vulnerable." It aims to provide indigent patients suffering from neglected surgical diseases access to free and quality surgical care.
GTFI, for its part, will continue to aid the Metrobank Group's premiere healthcare ally, Manila Doctors Hospital, particularly its in-patient and six in-house surgical programs for indigent patients.
Ensuring Equitable Education

To sustain support for the learning continuity of students under the Project TEACH or "Taking-up Education Access Challenges with a Heart" program, printers, copiers, and risograph machines will be donated by MBFI to 34 schools nationwide in partnership with the Department of Education. Furthermore, 216 radios and 216 thumb drives will also go to 18 public schools in Nueva Vizcaya.
MBFI also supports the Network of Outstanding Teachers and Educators (NOTED)—the alumni organization of the Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipino teachers. In particular, for their NOTED Caravan 2022 which will provide equipment and supplies to 17 schools and relevant teacher training programs for public schools in nine areas nationwide.
Meanwhile, the grant support to the Philippine Foundation for Science and Technology will cover the sponsorship of 300 chemistry laboratory boxes for teachers attending the "Teaching Science Through Interactive Approaches" workshop. This aims to address the learning recovery program of DepEd as both students and teachers go back to the face-to-face mode of learning and teaching.
MBFI, through the Bakhita Canossa Foundation, will also grant non-tuition support to 11 senior high school and college students under the "Advocacy on Youth Development Program" towards school completion.
On the other hand, GTFI will continue to ensure holistic opportunities are made available for deserving youth to prepare for sustainable employment. Under its Scholarships for Technical-Vocational Education Program (STEP), financial support will be extended to 150 students taking-up Electromechanics training program at DualTech Training Center; 135 students taking-up Machine Repair and Maintenance training program at Don Bosco Technical School; 20 students taking-up General Automotive Servicing Training Course at the Toyota Motor Philippines School of Technology; and 24 students taking-up Hospitality and Culinary Arts at Punlaan School.
The family foundation is also committed to supporting the tuition of 24 academically performing but financially-challenged 4th-year college STEM learners at Adamson University and Technological Institute of the Philippines; 30 nursing students from the Metrobank Group's educational affiliate Manila Tytana Colleges; and 10 college students under the University of the Philippines Engineering Research and Development Foundation's roster of scholars.
Enriching Creative Industries
For Dr. Ty, art contributes to people's higher awareness of what is important and essential in life. To him, art serves to inspire and enlighten people, enabling them to contribute to nation building. He saw art as a beautiful expression of a people's creativity, spirit and culture. His pioneering work in corporate philanthropy in the arts ushered opportunities for young artists to develop their practice, and for the public to gain an appreciation for the role of art in nation building.

Serving as one of the highlights of this year's grants turnover, both MBFI and GTFI support "The M," one of the country's leading art spaces for contemporary and modern art. Through an endowment fund, the foundations are contributing in the re-opening of the museum's doors at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
Furthermore, MBFI also supported the Department of Foreign Affairs – Foreign Service Institute's publication of "Bantugang Sugbuanon," a Cebu-focused art book; the Cultural Center of the Philippines' production of the Thirteen Artist Award's printed and online exhibition publications; and the educational scholarship of two Metrobank Art & Design Excellence competition national finalists under Artletics' Linangan Art Residency.
Creating Sustainable Livelihood Opportunities

MBFI renewed its partnership with Good Neighbors Philippines, Inc. and the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, Inc. to contribute in the livelihood restoration and improvement of some fisher folks in province of Bohol. The grant assistance shall provide seven (7) boats, fishing gear, and financial and capacity-building training for the beneficiaries affected by the onslaught of typhoon Odette.
Another program supported is International Care Ministries' "Transform and Prevail" which aims to introduce an integrated poverty solution to communities with low socioeconomic status. The grant will benefit 259 families from seven identified communities in Iloilo and General Santos City.
Lastly, MBFI extended special grants to social development organizations focusing on the promotion of inclusive opportunities for marginalized communities. Among them is the Laura Vicuña Foundation for their center-based programs in Quezon City and Palawan; 10 child protection communities; three (3) TechVoc education and training centers; and other initiatives to combat all forms of exploitation against the youth.
To cap if off, MBFI also donated to the Senate Spouses Foundation, Inc. in support of their "A Christmas in November" program benefitting 180 children who were abandoned and orphaned; "Adopt a Barangay" for 1,000 residents; and "Back to School Program" which will benefit 120 school learners. Likewise, another development assistance wen to the Congressional Spouses Foundation, Inc. to support their livelihood program.

WHAT WILL DEREGULATION BRING TO THE AVERAGE ELECTRIC CUSTOMER?
A popular myth attached to the deregulation of the electric industry is, if a member chooses to purchase power from a 3rd party, they will no longer receive a bill from Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op. In reality, PIE&G will still generate billings to our members for their service charge, security lights and any additional services PIE&G provides at the request of the member. The bill will also include a "variable distribution" charge for kilowatt usage that travels across our system.
In addition, future building sites or requests for service in our service territory will also still be handled by PIE&G. We will construct the lines and set a meter at new sites as we do currently. It will still be our responsibility to maintain and upkeep our infrastructure. If a member experiences an outage, power quality problem, tree on the line, etc. in a deregulated electric industry, they will still contact PIE&G to correct the situation.
Will you have the power to choose a 3rd party electric supplier in the future? Probably. Will that improve the electric industry as a whole? Only time will tell. However, we at Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op are committed to serve our communities, with honesty and integrity. We believe that this commitment and the fact that we are locally owned and operated by our members, will continue to strengthen our organization.

CST does the Oscars: The Social Network
Posted by Doug at 5:00 PM
With the Oscars taking place at the end of this month, Cleveland Sports Torture is revisiting some of the films nominated for 2011 Best Picture. These reviews may contain spoilers, so readers beware.
"The Social Network" is a movie trying to capture an elusive truth: Just how did a Harvard undergrad build the online global phenomenon that has reached half-a-billion people and made its creator dizzyingly wealthy?
The technical side of this world-altering endeavor is not so much in question, at least for those of us with advanced degrees in computer science. The ownership of the still-growing beast that is Facebook is another matter, however, and such is the crux of David Fincher's briskly entertaining if factually untrustworthy Oscar nominee.
The story of computer programming brain-boy Mark Zuckerberg is part origin myth, part character study and part adolescent fantasy told from the shaky perspective of a handful of warring personalities, all of whom claim to be the father of a billion-dollar baby. If you're looking for a hard-news account of Facebook's inception, "The Social Network" may be a letdown.
Fincher's telling, based on Ben Mezrich's luridly subtitled book, The Accidental Billionaires: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal, is told through flashbacks via deposition hearings for two concurrent lawsuits filed against Zuckerberg. The movie surrounding these flashbacks plays like a juicy, fast-paced Hollywood thriller, and like many Tinseltown affairs is peppered with conventions of the genre.
"The Social Network" largely forsakes Facebook's technical and business beginnings for scenes of bathroom sex and wild parties. These "lad lit" tenets are found throughout the movie, although, from its biased perspective at least, "The Social Network" does a commendable job of highlighting the differences of opinion that may have led to the fracturing of the partnership between Zuckerberg and his financier and best friend Eduardo Saverin.
(In Fincher's and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's reckoning, economics major Saverin wanted to sell ad space on Facebook to generate revenue, while Zuckerberg believed ads would cause the site to lose the "cool" factor that made it popular.)
Zuckerberg, played with blunt humorlessness by Jesse Eisenberg, is the heavy of the piece. According to this telling of a naive kid's rise, fall and last-minute redemption that's comparable to any piece of tabloid quality drama, Zuckerberg not only winkles an idea for a social networking website from a trio of fellow Harvardites, he stabs his business partner and best pal in the back with a kind of maliciously innocent deviousness.
The depiction of Zuckerberg as an arrogant, socially awkward rodent may not be fair, but damned if it isn't fun to watch, and this is where "The Social Network" ultimately excells. Eisenberg is excellent and gives his antihero some depth. There's weariness and guilt in the performance that suggests Zuckerberg got caught up in a situation he was ill-prepared to handle. The cast's other standouts include Andrew Garfield as Zuckerberg's former friend and partner Saverin and Justin Timberlake as glad-handing Napster founder Sean Parker.
"The Social Network" rarely stops to catch its breath, and that's a good thing. It's an ambitious, well-acted and compelling romp about the guy who (most likely) made "Facebook me" part of our cultural lexicon. Just don't look too closely as this Oscar-contender whips by, as the chronicle of the founding of Facebook probably has a few cracks in its assessment of reality.

Midnight twice in the same day.
We mentioned a while back that the cheapie tabloid Midnight was printed in Montreal, which made it more of a Canadian than American publication. Above you see a rare cover of Minuit, which was the Canadian Midnight. This hit newsstands today in 1966, and it's basically a duplicate of the Nobu McCarthy cover we shared on this day last year. Well, not an exact duplicate. As you can see by looking at the image on the right, the cover text on the U.S. version says: "I'm wild, wicked, and willing," but on Minuit McCarthy says, "Je dis 'oui' aux hommes," which means, "I say 'yes' to men." The sentiment is the same, but we're reasonably sure both lines were made up by Midnight—and Minuit—editors.
