Kieszeń – służący do przechowywania przedmiotów podręcznych, kawałek materiału w formie woreczka wszyty w ubranie, plecak czy torbę. Kieszeń może występować m.in. w spodniach, kurtce, koszuli, bluzie. Zamknięciem kieszeni mogą być wielorakie guziki i suwaki.

W garniturze
Ze względu na rodzaj wszycia kieszenie możemy podzielić na:
 cięte – rozcięcie w marynarce z wszytym od wewnątrz kawałkiem materiału;
 nakładane – naszywane na marynarkę z osobnego kawałka materiału, charakterystyczne dla marynarek sportowych.

Oprócz tego wyodrębnić można kieszenie proste, umieszczone pionowo oraz skośne, naszyte pod lekkim ukosem, pierwotnie stosowane do marynarek angielskich do jazdy konnej, dzięki czemu dostęp do nich był ułatwiony. Kieszenie mogą być przykryte naszytym kawałkiem materiału zwanym patką, co jednak obniża poziom formalności garnituru. Najbardziej formalnym typem kieszeni, stosowanym do garniturów wizytowych, są kieszenie cięte, proste bez patek.

Kieszeń na lewej piersi marynarki przeznaczona do noszenia poszetki nazywana jest brustaszą. Z kolei mniejsza kieszonka umieszczana nad prawą kieszenią marynarki, pełniąca obecnie funkcję estetyczną a uprzednio służąca do przechowywania biletów kolejowych, nosi nazwę biletówki. Mała kieszonka w spodniach umieszczona tuż pod pasem nazywana jest natomiast zegarówką lub bilonówką.

Q: Html5 validation error with title tag Hello I am validating my source against html 5.
But I am getting this error and have now idea how to solve it:
<meta charset="utf-8"><title>Rode kruis Vrijwilligers applicatie</title><link href="/css/blitzer/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

This is the error:
XHTML element title not allowed as child of XHTML element meta in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)
Any idea's?

A: In XHTML which is strict about XML rules, every tag that is opened should be nested and closed properly, tags such as <area />,<base />,<basefont />,
,
,<input />,,<link />,<meta /> are only usefull with attributes so you have to close them by "/>" instead of ">"
In XML thats how you open and close a tag in the same tag, this is what your html should look like:
<!doctype html>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
    <title>Rode kruis Vrijwilligers applicatie</title>
    <link href="/css/blitzer/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

    Test.

A: You need to close your meta tag - it is an empty tag:
<meta charset="utf-8" />

XHTML is an XML dialect, so empty elements should be closed (so
 is not valid XHTML, but
 is).

A: As mentioned in comments to the first answer (which should also solve the problem) another approach is to use plain HTML5 without the XML requirement. For example the following code would get validated:
<!doctype html>
<meta charset="utf-8"><title>Rode kruis Vrijwilligers applicatie</title><link href="/css/blitzer/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
Test.

With the middle line being the original code.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Welcomes Three Otter Pups
Asian small-clawed otter pups were born in September
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo recently welcomed a litter of three male otter pups in The RainForest. The pups were born September 24 to mom "Bitzy" and dad "Kibble."
Otter pups are born with their eyes still closed and take a several weeks before they're able to develop mobility and eventually swim. The trio are getting bigger and stronger and are expected to be ready to join their parents on exhibit in The RainForest in the coming weeks.
Prior to public introduction, exclusive content, updates and behind-the-scenes footage of the otter pups and family will be shared on Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's Facebook page as part of its Facebook LIVE series.
Asian small-clawed Otters are indigenous to Asia and are one of the smallest species of otter. They have unusual hand-like front paws with increased tactile sensitivity and reduced webbing, which they use to forage for their prey of crustaceans, mollusks and small fish.
Asian small-clawed Otters are listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) and their population is managed by a Species Survival Plan Program (SSP) in zoos certified by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA).
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo now has seven Asian small-clawed otters in The RainForest.
FREE ZOO ENTRY ON THANKSGIVING
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has surpassed 1 million visitors in 2017 for the 25th consecutive year. The Zoo and The RainForest will be free for all guests on Thanksgiving and special Meet the Keeper experiences will be offered throughout the park.
Since 1995, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has contributed more than $6 million to wildlife conservation efforts in partnership with Cleveland Zoological Society. Each year the Zoo contributes more than $600,000 annually to conservation programs, the vast majority come from community donations. While visiting Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, guests can take action to secure a future for wildlife. Visitors can donate through 'Quarters for Conservation,' 'round-up' for conservation programs at Zoo retail locations and donate to the Zoo's Wildlife Conservation Fund.

Strange Weather Installs API Legacy AXS Console
June 2017; Brooklyn, New York:
Strange Weather studio has just added a 32-channel, fully automated API Legacy AXS console to their Brooklyn, NY facility.
Strange Weather has had an API console at the helm of its operation for over ten years, adding a 1608 to their studio in 2007, and expanding on the console for several years.
"We made hundreds of amazing records on that desk over a decade, but eventually we found ourselves wanting even more routing options, so we decided to upgrade to the new Legacy AXS," said Strange Weather's Marc Alan Goodman.
The Legacy AXS is now the studio's primary desk, and provides all the features Goodman and his partner Daniel Schlett were seeking from a new console.
"The API Legacy AXS has the clearest console design I've worked on yet," Schlett adds. "The AXS lets the music go where it deserves, and uncompromised. The amount of flexibility, headroom, and onboard parallel processing makes working quickly more inspiring for both myself and the artists. And the console offers all of the amazing API sound I depend on every day!"

Exporters and supply chain SMEs to benefit from UK Export Finance partnership
NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank continue partnership with UK Export Finance to support businesses that export.
NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank are continuing their partnership with UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK's export credit agency, to deliver government-backed financial support to exporters more quickly and efficiently
The support, previously available to exporters only, will be extended to supply chain companies of UK exporters, significantly increasing the number of businesses able to access UKEF-backed trade finance. As a result, smaller companies that support big UK exporters will have access to government-backed financing via the banks, to deliver products and services and benefit from their clients' international business.
Secretary of State for International Trade, Liam Fox, said: "As an international economic department, this new partnership shows the Department for International Trade's commitment to help small businesses seize the global demand for British exports. Providing easily accessible finance, backed by UKEF's guarantee, will lift a common barrier to exporting. Providing this finance to suppliers as well as exporters means spreading the benefits of global trade, supporting more jobs and growth for companies large and small."
Through this new model, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank will be able to provide export-related trade finance to support their SME customers directly, with UKEF's guarantee in place should it be needed. UKEF will also make trade finance support directly available to direct suppliers supporting UK exporters.
Alison Rose, CEO for Commercial and Private Banking, said: "We're delighted to continue our partnership with UK Export Finance, working to support businesses that export. As part of our mission to become a simpler bank for our customers, we are committed to making it as easy as possible for all UK businesses to access export finance whenever it is required."
Barclays, Santander, HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group are also continuing their partnership with UKEF. Since UKEF's trade finance products were launched in 2011, nearly 300 companies have benefited from nearly £500m in support for several billion pounds worth of overseas contracts. This development follows a partnership agreement between the Department for International Trade and the banks involved signed in July 2016.

You should have read part one.
This is part 2 of "Events listing system using Date, CCK and Views modules", if you missed part one you can find it here.
In part one we set up our event CCK node type so now we're going to look at setting up a view to list our events.
Lets not waste time and get stuck in to make our events view.
These are the fields that will show in our events table.
Here we are narrowing down which nodes our view should select by adding criteria.
We're using the End Date filter to only select events that haven't already happened by saying only select events where the events end date is greater than or equal to now ie. the end date hasn't already passed.
This will ensure our events our ordered as they are happening ie. the events happening first are at the top.
That's it you should now have a basic events system up and running.
In the final part I'll look at possible ways you could improve this events system and take it further.
Any news on Part 3?
Thanks Droople, same to you!!
Funny you should ask, i started looking at this again yesterday (i got half way through before xmas), so it's in the pipeline.
I'll try and finish it for next week.
i want to make calender block and when i create any event it these event should show in calender block.tell me how it is posible?
I have created a calender block using cck it shows the events on date but when i click on this date it shows the bigger calender but its not showing the events detail.
Thanks admin to give us such a nice tutorial.
I want to ask you one thing i was trying to show only event time there dont want to show date than how can i do this? i have spent lots of time there ….
You should be able to alter the event start and end dates to show just the time by editing the the start and end date fields.
Near the bottom of the form you should see a "Default Display" fieldset and then in the "*Custom display format:" textfield enter "h:i a" which will output a 10:30pm like time.
i did not find "Default Display" fieldset on the views page can you please tell me where is it and where i can find custom display format textfield ?
The "Default Display" fieldset is in your event content type.
Go to Administer > Content Management > Content Types and click the "manage fields" link next to your event content type.
Then from there click "configure" link next to the start and end date fields and on the next page you should see the "Default Display" fieldset.
views module is amazing and i also use views module in drupal 6 it is also a soooooper module. I love this.
If you will be there we can learn a lot from you .
I want to ask from where i can find the full tutorial on views and cck module in drupal 6 or drupal 5 ?
I am setting up the view and I don't see datestamp as an option to choose from the group dropdown when setting up the fields. I see content: start and end dates. I also don't see datestamp for filters.
When I defined the content type I did use datestamp for end and start dates. What am I missing?
I also want to ask from same thing where i can find the full tutorial on views and cck module in drupal 6 or drupal 5 ?
I am really following all your tutorials. its really good instead of full tutorial. easy to understand.
I learn a lot from this post too. I also want to say Thanks to the author for sharing.
Nice tutorial. I am new to drupal and found your article. Its good one for beginner like me. When i tried this tutorial than Part 1 was easily set up but for Part 2 in View i did face lot of problem as i am using drupal 6. Also version of views module is different which you used. So is it possible that you can post new article or update this article with current version ? do let me know please. i want to complete this tutorial part 2 in my website.
Now i have one question. We have generated evenets and listing but how can i get that which user has signup for this event ? sorry if my question is silly but i am newbie to drupal so not getting clear idea.
What all events can be listed using this method?
I am not able to follow this action. I am using D6.

I have turned to the Dark Side. I acquired a MacBook Pro. In fact, I'm using it right now. Can't you feel the elevated smugness?
Overall my impressions are very positive. It's new and shiny and mysterious. Everything is an adventure of discovery… such as "Where the hell did my video download to?" And "What is OSX Maverick?" And "I keep hitting the wrong key!" This is going to take some getting used to… but I'm digging things about it. A lot.
Such as the fact that my Drift HD camera I was so excited about getting earlier this year, finally allows me to edit with audio. Before, no matter what I tried, I could never get the audio track. Seriously, the audio track disappeared. I tried 5 or 6 different Converters to change formats and such, with no luck. Huh, iMovie opens it, edits it, and guess what? I can hear it. Imagine that. So this is going to allow me to deal with HD movies all the better. I'm excited.
Other things about the Mac, well, I'll learn to get used to them. Such as a sudden desire to sip Chai Tea and sneer at Muggles.
Egads, the Mac Effect is already turning me… I suddenly must go to a Starbucks, occupy a table, and roll my eyes at everyone coming in.

The Smart Play
One of the more frustrating experiences I suffer every election cycle as a political pundit/consultant is hearing GOP candidates tell me how "vulnerable" certain Democrat incumbents are who back up their assessment with nothing more than "feelings."
In fact, there is a time-tested formula – which I believe was originally developed in Texas – that uses objective historical voting data to determine the actual chances for a Republican to defeat a given incumbent Democrat. I taught the "Optimal Republican Vote Strength" (ORVS) calculations in detail to the folks who attended last night's grassroots training workshop at the Bootlegger.
For those who missed it, the concept is simple enough:
You look at the percentage of the vote the worst-performing Republican has received in a given district (the base vote), as well as the percentage of the vote the best-performing Republican in recent elections received. You then calculate the percentage of the vote a reasonably solid GOP candidate can expect to receive assuming he or she will pull 2/3 of the "swing" vote between the worst- and best-performing Republican candidates.
Without going into detail on how to assess the chances for Republican victory for all of the numbers, suffice it to say that any district with an ORVS number below 40 is mission impossible. IM-POS-SI-BLE. There's a better chance of me winning Miss Congeniality in the Miss America pageant.
For example, let's consider Congressional District 1, currently represented by Democrat Shelley Berkley.
The worst performance recently by a GOP candidate was in 2008, where the Republican chalked up a whopping 28 percent of the vote.
The best GOP performance in CD 1 also occurred in 2008, when Republican presidential candidate John McCain pulled in an earth-shattering 34 percent of the vote.
Does any local Republican mulling a race in this district next year – anyone at all – actually think they can pull in a ton more votes than the party's presidential nominee was able to garner in the last election?
In fact, the ORVS number for this race is: 30
No way, no how, short of a miracle of epic proportions, does a Republican beat Shelley Berkley in this district next year. Period. Exclamation point.
And party leaders and donors would be insane to waste one dime or one minute trying to do so.
Instead, Republican challenger John Guedry absolutely, positively has a chance to beat Democrat Rep. Dina Titus in the 3rd Congressional District next year. How do we know this? Because until last year, the seat was held by a rather non-exceptional Republican for six years, that's how.
The GOP party brass, donor community and grassroots activists should pour every dollar and ounce of energy into doing that which is possible, rather than that which is impossible. That means loading up on CD 3 and all but completely ignoring CD 1.
There are, of course, some Republicans who believe the party should equally support all Republican candidates running for office. Those Republicans are, of course, dead wrong.
That said, if some Republicans want to waste their own time, money and energy running against Shelley Berkley next year….hey, have at it. But don't expect the rest of us to be enthusiastic or supportive of such a quixotic campaign. We have a winnable race to win.
It's the smart play.

New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program's Medical Advisory Board Recommends Adding Alzheimer's Disease to the List of Eligible Conditions
If Approved by the Dept. of Health, New Mexico Would Join 13 Other States Where Patients Can Access Medical Cannabis for Alzheimer's Disease

Contact: Jessica Gelay 505-573-4422 or Emily Kaltenbach 505-920-5256

SANTA FE—Yesterday, the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program's Medical Advisory Board voted unanimously to add neurodegenerative dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD) to the list of medical conditions eligible for the Medical Cannabis Program. The Secretary of Health will have the final decision. Medical cannabis is currently available to Alzheimer's patients in thirteen of the states that authorize its use.
The Drug Policy Alliance filed the petition on behalf of all New Mexicans who suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Although Alzheimer's disease was specifically petitioned for, the board chose to expand their recommendation to include all types of neurodegenerative dementia.
"The Medical Cannabis Advisory Board's action not only recognizes the debilitating impact neurodegenerative diseases have on New Mexico's increasing elderly population, it recognizes that medical cannabis should be part of a larger comprehensive approach to support our elders' quality of life," stated Emily Kaltenbach, director of the Drug Policy Alliance's New Mexico office. "New Mexico has a long history of respecting our elders and the Board's compassionate recommendation to add these conditions is clearly rooted in the great values of our state."
Alzheimer's disease, similar to many of the conditions presently included in New Mexico's Compassionate Use Act, is a neurologic disease and has no known cure. Existing medications provide only temporary relief, without stopping the progression of the disease.
Santa Fe resident and local radio show host, Larry Love, is a caregiver and legal guardian for his mother who suffers from cognitive impairment, a condition often seen before the onset of Alzheimer's disease. "My mother became part of the medical cannabis program because she has a lot of physical pain, and it helps her with that. Medical cannabis also helps increase her appetite and desire to eat as well as calms and soothes her and allows her to have restful sleep," said Love. "Other people who suffer from dementia and conditions like Alzheimer's should be able to participate in New Mexico's medical cannabis program too. This medicine can improve the quality of life and lessen the suffering of thousands of New Mexican elders."
Peer reviewed studies suggest that medical cannabis may improve symptoms related to Alzheimer's disease and support the pharmacological and physiological benefits seen in the use of cannabinoid compounds and whole plant medicine on general symptoms of neurodegeneration.
"Medical cannabis studies have shown that people suffering from Alzheimer's disease related anorexia and nighttime agitation, increase their body mass and have improved sleep patterns," said Jessica Gelay, Policy Coordinator for the Drug Policy Alliance. "Additionally, emerging evidence suggests potential for cannabis to be beneficial in reducing inflammation in the brain, a factor that can lead to the onset of Alzheimer's disease."
Professor Gary Wenk, of Ohio State University, whose research focuses on chronic brain inflammation and Alzheimer's began studying cannabis compounds after other pharmaceuticals he studied "consistently failed to reduce inflammation in the brain." Wenk's animal study results show cannabis to be "the most potent brain anti-inflammatory available."
More than 30,000 New Mexicans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, and the number is expected to increase to more than 40,000 by 2025. It is the leading cause of dementia among the elderly and is estimated to affect approximately one in nine people of the population over 65 years of age. Racial and cultural disparities are evident when considering the prevalence of AD among elderly New Mexicans. Older Hispanics are one and a half times more likely to have dementia than Anglos. Veterans, who comprise eleven percent of New Mexico's population, who suffer from PTSD are twice as likely as veterans without PTSD to develop AD or other age-related dementias.
The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is the nation's leading organization of people who believe the war on drugs is doing more harm than good. DPA fights for drug policies based on science, compassion, health and human rights.

The ingredient list for this recipe may seem a little strange. Black beans and bananas? You are just going to have to trust me on this one. This Caribbean Bean Puree is SO yummy. I love beans in any form but I think this is my all-time favorite bean dish. I know it seems strange, but give it a try. There is just a hint of banana flavor which is balanced by the garlic, shallots, cumin and lime juice.
The Perfect Pairing for this recipe is my all-time, number one, absolute favorite album…. Bob Marley's, Legend. I have already professed my love for all things Caribbean on this blog, so I am sure this comes as no surprise. Even if you are not a reggae fan you will love this album. It has many of his iconic classics like I Shot the Sherriff, Could You Be Loved, and my personal favorite, Three Little Birds. It is the perfect thing to listen to while making and enjoying this dish.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the sliced bananas to the pan, cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans, ¼ cup of the chicken broth, lime juice, cumin and salt. Cook, stirring often, until all liquid is absorbed. Transfer mixture to food processor, add remaining 1/4 cup of broth, process until smooth. Serve warm.


The Top Secret R34 Skyline Shouldn't Catch You Off Guard... But It Will!
Home / Automotive / Cars / The Top Secret R34 Skyline Shouldn't Catch You Off Guard... But It Will!
From Top Secret in Japan to the streets of Jo'burg, we introduce you to the bloodthirsty Top Secret Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec R34.
Like most iconic Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) sports cars, this one needs no introduction. Fast forward nearly 20 years since it's introduction in 1999 and somehow this iconic monster still grabs the same tantalizing attention like most of today's supercars.
Construction was by the Japanese automobile tuner and part manufacturer, Top Secret Co., the company that was found by Japanese automotive engineer and driver Kazuhiko "Smokey" Nagata. Top Secret is mainly known for its body kits and performance engineering but is notorious for its illegal Wangan high speed runs, professional drifting, circuit and drag racing too.
Perhaps, when you see how tightly this baby can carve up the tarmac at triple-digit speeds, you'll realize that the Full Top Secret body kit was engineered to deliver an exhilarating driving experience while sporting it's 20" R.E.M. black mags. When you first lay eyes on this atomic bomb of a motor after popping the ultra light-weight full carbon hood, the first thing you'll notice is the upgraded, twin 1000 horsepower sushi rolls attached with red cone filters. Not to mention the 100mm HKS titanium exhaust system that makes a hugely enjoyable snap, crackle & pop as it releases CO2 into the atmosphere. It's so loud it even scared little children at our SXDrv Super Saturday car event held recently in Johannesburg.
Like every car that comes from Top Secret, all aspects of this R34 were designed so it could go fast and stop even faster.
When you step into the interior you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how neat the original centre console and dash area are. The main event inside though are the two Ferrari Maranello seats that keep you – and your better half – snug when slicing through those curvy-corners, nevermind looking truly majestic when you see them through the windshield when parked.
Almost humorous, this 1000bhp+ GT-R has custom Rockford-Fosgate sound in the trunk, you know, for when you're listening to your favourite Tibetan monks chanting.
With this GT-R specifically, the thing that really impressed us the most is the fact that it still holds its cosmetic originality very well. The R34 GT-R is an icon that will go down in history as one of the best performance cars Japan has ever unleashed on the planet and, even though car customization is self-expression, we would think twice about pop-riveting some swollen hips to the side.
It's really exciting for us to feature this awesome legend. It makes us smile knowing that there are people out there who share our passion and will invest millions to either restore or preserve these beauties. Their passion and love have really shown through in this project and we're sure it will continue for decades to come.
Like kids before our birthdays, we got no sleep before this shoot. We were far too excited to feature the GT-R, not to mention the gorgeous Danelle Steenkamp – check out her shoot here.
And, believe us, you will see more cars from Top Secret in the future. Maybe by then you'll have prepared yourself and won't soil your shorts. We'll even give you a little time to grow out of that whole stage. The gods of high octane know though, we haven't!

NCCJ
Individual local chapters
National Federation for Just Communities
1927; 95 years ago (1927)
Formerly called
National Conference of Christians and Jews
The National Conference for Community and Justice was an American social justice organization focused on fighting biases and promoting understanding between people of different races and cultures. The organization was founded in 1927 as the National Conference of Christians and Jews in response to anti-Semitism and anti-Catholic sentiment surrounding Al Smith's run for President. The national organization dissolved in 2005 following a diminishing of its endowment, but individual chapters around the country carry on the organization's mission.
2 Programs and events
2.1 Anytown
2.2 Brotherhood Week
The NCCJ was established in 1927 by social activists to bring diverse people together to address interfaith divisions.[1][2] Over the course of its history, the organization expanded its purview to all issues of social justice; in 1998 its name changed from "National Conference of Christians and Jews" to "National Conference for Community and Justice".[3]
By the early 2000s, the organization was facing financial difficulties as endowment dropped from $22 million in FY2002 to $4 million in FY2004, due to a slowing economy and reduced contributions. Local chapters began to sever ties, and by 2005 the national organization had dissolved.[4][5] A number of the former chapters created the National Federation for Just Communities in 2006.[4]
Programs and events[edit]
The NCCJ promoted inclusivity through various events and programs. One of the first was the "Tolerance Trio", a traveling roadshow which toured the country with a priest, a rabbi, and a clergyman, all making jokes and providing entertainment.[1] Throughout its tenure, the NCCJ offered interfaith events, school-age programs, and youth leadership programs aimed at promoting values such as understanding, respect, and community building.
Anytown[edit]
The "Anytown" program began in the 1950s and was designed for youth ages 14–18. It was intended to educate and empower its participants through multi-day intensive retreats.
Brotherhood Week[edit]
Remarks of Franklin D. Roosevelt for Brotherhood Week 1943
The NCCJ promoted a "National Brotherhood Day" in the 1930s, expanding to Brotherhood Week starting in 1936 with President Franklin D. Roosevelt named honorary chairman.[1] In 1944 the week included extensive radio programming, military and USO participation, and an "education program of nationwide scope" aimed at "extending good will and understanding among religious groups".[6] By the early 2000s the event had lost relevancy and was eventually canceled.[1]
Tom Lehrer satirized National Brotherhood Week in a 1965 song of the same name, recorded on his album That Was the Year That Was.[1]

Sepsis is a common condition often triggered by an infection, but it can be life threatening if not spotted and treated quickly by medical professionals. It affects more than 30 million people a year worldwide, claiming more than six million lives. In the UK, sepsis is the leading cause of avoidable death. Around 37,000 people die of it each year and the long term complications associated with a delay in the diagnosis and treatment of the condition cost the UK economy in excess of £14 billion each year.
A recent BBC Panorama report has found that one in four NHS hospital trusts is failing to give antibiotics to half of their patients with sepsis within the recommended time frame. Out of the 104 trusts considered in the BBC investigation, 37% of patients that need antibiotics for sepsis were found not to be getting them within an hour and 14 of the hospital trusts considered are only screening one in every two people with signs of sepsis.
Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by your body's response to an infection.
Your body's immune system works to protect you from illnesses and infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi. Normally this system works incredibly well but sometimes, in response to an infection, the immune system is over stimulated and goes in to overdrive. When this happens, instead of being localised around the infected area, the immune response occurs throughout the body. This is known as a systemic response. The chemicals the immune system releases into the bloodstream to fight infection instead damage a person's own cells and tissues throughout the body. If not treated properly, sepsis can lead to a deterioration in organ function and, ultimately, to septic shock where a sudden drop in blood pressure prevents enough oxygen being delivered to the cells of the body resulting in rapid tissue destruction.
Doctors can often detect a possibly case of sepsis using only simple measurements such as temperature, heart rate and breathing rate.
If sepsis is suspected, blood tests can be arranged and other tests performed to identify the type of infection, where it is located and which body functions have been affected.
If sepsis is detected early and has not affected vital organs yet, it may be possible to treat the infection at home with antibiotics. Most people who have sepsis detected at this stage make a full recovery.
Where the condition has however progressed to severe sepsis or septic shock, this is regarded as a medical emergency requiring urgent hospital admission and treatment.
Removal of the source of infection – Where the sepsis has been triggered by an infection such as an abscess or infected foreign body (e.g. catheter, prosthetic joint etc.) then it is important to remove all sources of the infection as quickly as possible. This often requires surgery. However once the systemic immune response which causes sepsis has started, successful treatment of the initial infection alone is not enough as this will not halt the bod's systemic inflammatory response.
Early, appropriate antibiotic treatment – In severe sepsis starting treatment as early as possible and using the right type of IV antibiotics to deliver high concentrations of antibiotics is vital. Guidelines recommend that appropriate antibiotic care in severe sepsis should be started within 1 hour of the onset of the condition. When antibiotics are started within one hour of the onset of severe sepsis the survival rate is approximately 80%. For every hour of delay thereafter survival drops by around 7-8% per hour down to a figure of about 40%.
Supportive therapy – Patients with severe sepsis are likely to suffer from multi-organ failure. They therefore need access to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) which are equipped to provide support any affected body functions, such as breathing or blood circulation.
Early diagnosis and treatment of sepsis is essential. For every hour that someone with sepsis is left untreated, the chances of survival reduced significantly. It is estimated that in the UK alone, more than 12,000 lives each year could be saved if hospitals improved their approach to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
We at Freemans have first-hand experience of patients who have attended hospital only for their symptoms not to be recognised by doctors as those of sepsis. The resultant delays in diagnosis and treatment resulted in serious and avoidable physical and psychological harm being caused.

IT GETS WORSE: Fauci funded inhumane medical experimentation on minority AIDS orphans in NYC
After it was revealed that Tony Fauci sent American taxpayer dollars to an animal abuse operation that tortured and murdered dogs, it has since come to light that Fauci did much the same thing to human AIDS orphans in New York City back in the early 2000s as well.
Circulating photos include one depicting a young black boy being experimented on at a NYC hospital. The boy shown was one of hundreds that Fauci exploited as part of a Tuskegee-style government-Big Pharma experiment that led to at least 25 minor deaths during the study, another 55 deaths after the fact in foster care, and hundreds more deaths after that.
"In 2005, the city of New York hired the VERA Institute to form a final report on the drug trials," it was reported. "VERA was given no access to medical records for any of the children used in trials. Their report was published in 2008."
"They reported that twenty-five children died during the drug studies, that an additional fifty-five children died following the studies (in foster care), and, according to Tim Ross, Director of the Child Welfare program at VERA (as of 2009), 29% of the remaining 417 children who were used in drug studies had died (out of a total 532 children that are admitted to have been used)."
Nobody likes Fauci except the mainstream media
As always, no payment or compensation was given to any of the children who were used in the trials, nor to their parents. They were mere fodder for Fauci's mad scientist "research," which continues to this very day as no president has yet had the guts or gall to get rid of him.
Fortunately, there are brave souls not in government who are coming forward to tell all about what the National Institute of Health (NIH) has been doing for decades, committing serious crimes against humanity.
The following video features an Incarnation Children's Center (ICC) interview between Liz Brown and Mimi Pascual that talks all about this in greater depth. It starts around the 24:30 mark where key points of the interview occur:
Numerous documents and interviews with children and childcare workers at ICC who participated in the Fauci-funded research are speaking out about the horrors they witnessed and contributed to, not realizing fully what they were doing until the damaging effects and deaths appeared after it was completed.
Fauci, of course, more than likely knew fully about the risks involved. To him, though, human life is meaningless. Its only worth is to be experimented on for "research" purposes.
Back then, only a few hundred children were affected by Fauci's mad scientism. Today, the entire world is being injected with experimental poisons, the full effects of which have yet to fully manifest.
"Dr. Fauci is Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Moreau into one," joked one commenter at The Gateway Pundit.
"More like Dr. Mengele," responded another.
"One might ask … 'Why now? Why is Fauci being exposed and incriminated now?'" speculated another. "Could it be he is no longer a trusted and valuable tool for the cabal in power?"
"This … 'man' … has been scum since the introduction of HIV back in the '80s. The disease was politicized back then … and oh! Lookie here … this 'new' 'not-gain-of-function-disease' … that he has had a direct hand in … has been … politicized, too …"
Another called out National Geographic for launching a ridiculous "documentary" portraying Fauci as some kind of hero for humanity rather than the demented monster that he truly is.
"This is all coming back to light because this is one of the reasons that black people in New York City refuse to take the jab," noted another.

The emergency plan in project management
Published by Twproject Staff/in project management
The emergency plan in a project is like the fire prevention plan for a supermarket. You can't miss it!
Uncertainty is an intrinsic part of all projects. The way in which the Project Manager and his team manage the emergency and the change seriously affects the activities and the very success of the project.
All projects have a level of uncertainty. Otherwise no figure would be needed to manage risks and emergencies.
This is why the most astute Project Managers structure the projects in such a way as to predict uncertainty and change rather than looking for ways to avoid unexpected surprises.
The proactivity of the PM in the realization of a project emergency plan
Risk and emergency management
1. Avoid the risk or emergency
2. Mitigate the risk or emergency
3. Transfer the risk or emergency
4. Learn from risks and emergencies
Lead the team through the change process
This is why the estimates based on the best / worst scenarios are reliable and effective. It is precisely on these estimates that, in order to avoid surprises, an emergency plan is drawn up for managing a project.
It is more productive to be proactive rather than reactive. Anticipating unforeseen circumstances is therefore a necessity for a Project Manager.
With IT projects for example, customer needs can evolve over time and, with the evolution of technology, even overnight, this fact could represent a real emergency for the PM.
In construction projects, instead, the project could also be approved, but important delays in the delivery of the material might occur during the execution of the work. These delays would inevitably affect the end date of the project, representing also an emergency.
Basically, the competent Project Managers establish processes in advance in order to deal with these emergencies and the resulting changes.
In this way, they can respond to emergencies with the voice of experience rather than with reaction. Adaptability offers a better guarantee to the customer.
An agile mentality makes it possible to evaluate, listen, and communicate changes better, thus also creating a relationship of trust with the team, stakeholders, and the end customer.
Changes can take place at virtually every point in the life cycle of project management.
Having strategies in order to effectively deal with changes and manage emergencies is the most efficient way to stay focused on the success of the project and on the final goals, even in the face of what can sometimes seem like a constant change of direction.
Here are some tips that Project Managers use in order to manage risks and emergencies in projects.
If it is already clear from the beginning that the activity of a project can have serious consequences, it is better to avoid it. For example, the simultaneous use of a production process for two products can compromise project planning. Instead, a project manager can avoid this risk by choosing a sequential production process.
Look for all possible ways to reduce the occurrence of a risk. For example, you can decide to use a simplified and known production process if a more innovative and expensive production process can take longer and brings with it a high level of uncertainty about the final result.
To control the risk, it is possible to transfer it to an external supplier. For example, if the number of activities of a team is too large to allow their completion on time by internal resources, part of the activities can be subcontracted to an external supplier.
Not all risks and emergencies represent something negative. These can also open the door to opportunities. For example, if after analyzing the risks of a project, one realizes that the subsystem of a program can be commercialized, one can decide to reassign it to a part of the teams in order to develop it even more. The removal of part of the team from a project can represent an additional risk, but in this case, it is possible to compensate it with the opportunity achieved.
The team is fundamental to the success of any project, so it is essential to actively involve it in the emergency plan and in the management of process changes.
Here are 5 ways the Project Manager can quickly help the team during this process:
Be open about emergencies, risks, and changes that will inevitably occur.
Be open about the process. Most team members clearly will not know what will happen and what is expected of them until they have been notified. It is possible to organize a briefing where everyone can learn about their role within the emergency and change plan.
Simplify as much as possible. The change in the project is often, at best, a controlled chaos. The team can consider an emergency, and the consequent changes, as upsetting and for this reason, it is necessary that the process is as simplified as possible. We must not forget that the team considers the Project Manager as a trusted guide.
Be ready to help. A new way of working takes time to accept it and integrate successfully. The Project Manager must let the team know clearly that he is there to help them, at any time, in order to overcome the emergency together, just like a team.
Don't be afraid to say no. Not all changes in response to an emergency can be sensible proposals. The Project Manager must therefore let the team know that if the latter feels firmly convinced that a change is not the right decision for the Project, he will stand close to them and discuss the choice with the change applicant.
Not being able to manage the emergency and the change that inevitably follows is one of the first reasons why a project can go completely in disarray.
Having the right information and processes even before starting a Project and drawing up an emergency plan with the related possible changes, can make it possible to face risks and emergencies in a controlled, intelligent, and advantageous way for all those involved. This is certainly the way to bring the project to success.

For the past few years through the robotics club at my school, I have participated in the IEEE Arduino Challenges. These are complex design and programming challenges that will test the skills of the participants – high school students. In previous years, I have done the IBM LRT Detour challenge which involves line following, obstacle avoidance, and maze solving algorithms, as well as the Green Arm Challenge to detect, identify, and sort colored blocks.
This was my second year of the Green Arm Challenge, and through the last few competitions, I have learned so much – an introduction to graph theory with maze solving algorithms, fusion 360 assemblies, and especially time management (it helps to have a working robot on competition day!).
Now on to the competition. The goal of the competition is to detect, identify, and sort 3D printed coloured blocks, picking them up from one area, and placing them in other areas based on their color. The complete rules are available here. The recommended hardware (according to IEEE) is on that page as well, but of course I made some of my own adjustments.
Arm and Servos: The base platform is a MeArm – an open-source 4DOF robotic arm made by phenoptix. All the instructions and the laser cutting files are available on their instructables page here. The original one was purchased from robotshop as a complete kit for way more than what I would be willing to spend. After assembling it according to their instructable, the acrylic on acrylic rotation points were sticking a fair bit, so we tried putting nylon washers between the joints. Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem. It could have been because the bolts were too tight and threading directly into the acrylic, but if loosened, the robot would be too unstable. To fix all those problems, I downloaded the dxf files from their instructables page, removed the self-threading screw holes (as bolts and nylock nuts will be used), strengthened a few of the parts, and used the laser cutter at the Imagine Space in the Nepean Centrepointe Library to cut everything out of 3mm MDF. This arm was used in the first year of the Green Arm Challenge, but the next year I redesigned it again because it was still pretty flimsy. This time it used bigger servos (MG995) for the main rotation points (shoulder and elbow) because the smaller SG90 servos were a little too slow and not precise enough to make the new laser time of flight sensor worth it. I also modified the base of the robot to include a teflon rod in a circle around the base rotation to eliminate wobble of the whole robot by providing extra support at the front and back of the robot, while not sacrificing any speed or accuracy. In fact, it actually increased the accuracy of the height and distance of the robot because the wobbling was eliminated.
Claw Modifications: As for the claw, some modifications were required for this as well. The original acrylic and MG90S servo claws had the same rotation problems as earlier – they would get stuck. With the laser cut MDF wood version, it would not grip hard enough (this would also have been a problem with the acrylic version, had it not been getting stuck). Blocks would often swing out of the claw because there were only 2 points of contact on the block, and blocks would also often be dropped because it was not gripping hard enough.The way that this claw works is also not the best – the servo gets sent to a specific position, and in order to grip hard enough, the servo has the be trying to reach a position that it cannot reach because of the block it is gripping, and ends up grinding the servo gears and heats it up – obviously not ideal. So, I added some current limiting to the servo in order to avoid grinding the gears and heating up, but with this method the servo does not grip as hard. So, I also redesigned the claw to have 6 points of contact on the blocks rather than the original 2. I also put elastics between the contact points, in order to provide some extra grip on the block. Once the servo angles for opening and closing the claw were properly calibrated, a block was never dropped or swung out again.
Ultrasonic Distance sensor: To find the blocks, we had to use some sort of distance sensor. The first year, that sensor was an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. Obviously not ideal, but that's what we had to work with. Ultrasonic sensors are not ideal to be detecting the blocks the 45 degree 'loading dock' area, as their detection cone is around 30 degrees wide. So, any blocks it sees could be anywhere within a 30 degree angle. To try and fiw this, we 'swept' across the area, measuring the distance at each degree and found the lowest distance. Then we went to the angle that the lowest distance was found at and took off a loosely guessed 5 degrees to account for sensor error as it is sweeping across (it will see the block before it is actually in front of it). However, this method proved to be unreliable. Some other methods that we tried were desoldering the ultrasonic transducers from the board, and mounting the transmitter under the claw, pointing at a 45 degree angle upwards, and the receiver above the claw, so that the sound from the transmitter will reflect off the block only when it is in front of the claw. With this, we would have to sweep across the area, but also move the claw further from the base to detect the blocks that are further away. Unfortunately, mounting the ultrasonic transducers in this location made it so that the claw could not be lowered enough to grab the blocks. The transmitter would hit the platform before the claw was low enough to grab the block. Another method we tried was attaching circular cylinders to the front of the transducers in the original location (at the base of the robot), in order to direct the sound waves coming out of the sensor. While this method worked very well for objects further away (greater than 30cm probably), it does not work for close objects, as the reflected sound waves must be coming back parallel and a few cm displaced in order to be detected, but instead come back almost right into the first transducer. Long story short, the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is not suitable for this application.
VL6180X and VL53L0X ToF distance sensors: A much better suited sensor to detecting blocks at smaller distances is the VL53L0X or VL6180X Time of Flight laser distance sensor. These are ideal mainly because they use light beams instead of ultrasonic sound waves to detect objects. As a result, these have a very small detection cone (it is just a beam of light), and will only detect an object when it is actually in front of it. These sensors are also made for the range that we are using them in. The VL53L0X has a distance of 3-200mm with an accuracy of 1mm so at first, this is the sensor that we went with as the maximum distance was perfect, and we were looking for the highest accuracy possible. When testing it however, this sensor was wildly inaccurate (off by 1-2cm) at distances longer than about 13 or 14 cm, getting worse as the distance grew closer to 200mm. After paying an outrageous amount for a VL6180X from amazon (instead of my usual Aliexpress orders – this one had a deadline), we were much more satisfied with the results. The VL6180X is made for distances from 30-2000mm, with a slightly coarser accuracy than the VL53L0X. This sensor matched exactly what we needed, and worked perfectly during testing.
TCS3200 TCS230 Color Sensor and mounts: These color sensors are the bog-standard color sensors in the Arduino community because they are so cheap. The one main problem with them is that they are very sensitive to external light. If any of the lighting conditions in the room change, they likely have to be recalibrated. The other problem that this creates is a very limited and precise range. I was able to get mine working in a roughly 0.5 – 1.5cm range. On the pcb they are mounted on, come 4 5mm white LEDs to illuminate the object. As the sensor gets closer to the object the accuracy increases, and these LEDs were getting in the way. So, they were removed from the board and mounted above the sensor. To get the most accuracy and consistency as possible, the sensor was mounted as close as possible to the blocks – in the crevice where the claw closes, using a custom 3D printed mount. This took a few revisions in order to get the optimal distance, and light positions. In the first revisions, the 4x5mm LEDs were mounted above the claw servo, but in the final version, a 1W LED with constant current driver made from 10W power resistors (what I had on hand) and some transistors to allow the Arduino to control it. This higher power LED was chosen to provide more light in general, as well as more directed light. This way, the small deviances in the distance from the sensor will matter less, because there is still enough light getting to the sensor.
Power Considerations (especially with sensor shield): To power all this, and keep the wiring manageable, a Sensor Shield for the Arduino Uno was used. In order to run the servos at the maximum possible speed, they were driven from 6V. Unfortunately, this created some complications with the Servo Shield. The external power terminal block was connected directly to 5V, and was routed around the board as 5V, including into the Arduino's 5V pin. Driving this external block with 6V would clearly create some problems. So, some PCB traces were cut and re-attached with jumper wires in other places in order to route the terminal block input to the Arduino's VIN pin, as this pin is regulated. From the terminal block, the 6V goes to the servo/sensor headers on the shield. The 5V pin on the Arduino was connected to all other devices on the shield – I2C, SPI, and other breakout pins. Now that the servos, and only the servos, were powered with 6V, we also have to take into account the current draw. With the larger MG995 servos having a max current draw of 2 or 3A, this robot can draw up to 8A under full load. However, that will never happen as the movement, claw grabbing, and light pulsing never never happen all at once. Also, the large servos will never draw their max current as moving a small robotic arm is not problem for them. As a power source, we went with a Li-ion battery custom-made from recycled laptop batteries (either 2S2P or 3S2P depending on which one was used) because there were tons readily available. To get the voltage down to 6V, a 5A 75W buck converter was used. We could have gone with a much beefier 9A module, but given that the large current draws for this robot are never sustained, and 5A buck converter is adequate. The 6V was fed directly in to the sensor shield's external power terminal, and the Arduino was powered through the VIN pin.
Control Library: The last main part of the build was programming – which was a fairly interesting problem. We needed to figure out a way to translate a given height, distance and angle of the claw in order to travel to a specific point and grab a block. There is an arduino library called mearm IK by yorkhackerspace on Github that works very well to control the meArm in 3D space, however I did not really like the way that you had to use it and the calibration instructions were not well documented. So I decided to make my own algorithm to control the height, distance and angle of the claw. This height, distance, angle option was chosen because block distance is a distance, height off the ground is also a distance, and the field was a semi-circle – so an angle for that makes sense. The angle of the base is controlled via a servo, which makes that part real easy. A bit of calibration to determine the maximum and minimum angles for each 45 degree area (which is not really 45 degrees on the servo) was everything required. Now for the height and distance, this was a little more complicated. After drawing out a large scale version of the robot, and some careful analysis, I noticed that the angles of the servo arms can be computed based on a cosine law. The 2 links having the same angle made this calculation a little easier as well, because we have an isosceles triangle. If I can find the messy drawings I made, I will include them here. Converting this to the servo angles proved to be a little more difficult. We had to map the angle based off of an imaginary bar parallel to the ground at the height of rotation of the servos. Slowing down the servos was also a major consideration. If the servos have too much jerk, then the block is more likely to fall out of the claw while it is moving. To limit the jerk while still maintaining maximum speed, an algorithm that found the distance to the start and end points of the servos, then slowed the movement of the servo down as it was just starting to move and as it approaches the end of its movement was implemented. In theory, this would have worked, but it seemed that the movement commands were getting ahead of the servo and as a result the decelaration as it approached the end point never happened. In the end, all the servo movements were slowed down because that was fast enough for our purposes. The first year, I put all this code to calculate the angles in the main program, and suffered through the endless amounts of scrolling. The second time around, I was a little smarter about it. I created my own library to with all the control code in it, which made the main program much neater and easier to understand.
Final Results: When the day of the competition came, we were fairly confident, having a functional robot that worked most of the time. We had even had extra time to program it to not place blocks down on top of each other if multiple blocks of the same color were gathered. After a bit of tuning to the proper layout of the field (different places to put the green and blue colored blocks), the robot was able to reliably find, retrieve, and sort the colored blocks.

What do you do when you feel like you HAVE to take a low percentage shot? - 05-04-2009, 12:54 PM
Sometimes I get this urge to shoot in rotation games, usually a combo or carom, attacking full speed to try and set the momentum of a set. I would say with honesty that it's usually a higher percentage out, but it's not 100%. And maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, especially when there is a possibility of a deadlock safe.
What are your guys' thoughts. I've really tried to adopt the whole "don't bother shooting if you think you're going to miss," philosophy, but these are misses that could be avoided. But if they're cinched, the confidence is always huge.
All opinions welcomed. Thanks.

Canada C3 > News > Canada C3 expedition has the chance to create a legacy for future Canadians
Canada C3 expedition has the chance to create a legacy for future Canadians
On Thursday, June 1, I had the opportunity to attend the launch of the Canada C3 Expedition before its departure from Toronto at the start of its 150-day journey along Canada's three coasts.
By: Ron Seftel, Bullfrog Power
I was there to represent Bullfrog Power, the expedition's green energy sponsor. Bullfrog is involved because travelling by ship around Canada's expansive shorelines and holding events at stops in communities all along the way means that a lot of energy will be used on the trip — and that leads to CO2 emissions.
To ensure that this symbolic journey is as green as possible, Bullfrog Power and our sister company, Less Emissions Inc., are partnering with Canada C3.
Bullfrog Power will provide green electricity for the Canada C3 Ship t' Shore events across the country as well as green fuel for the first leg of the Canada C3 expedition. This will be the first time that Bullfrog's green fuel has been used to reduce the impact of ship travel in Canada. The impact of the remaining legs of the journey will be addressed by high-quality carbon offsets from Less Emissions.
For the participants, the hope is that their experiences will help them to become lifelong ambassadors for the values Canada C3 believes will guide the ongoing conversation about Canada's history and future.
At Bullfrog, we think about those values —Diversity and Inclusion, Reconciliation, Youth Engagement and the Environment — in our own work to inspire people to take action on climate change.
On board, I had the chance to meet Paula Zubkowski, a primary school educator from Calgary. She described how she is already sharing the experience with her classroom through Google Hangouts, expanding the worldview of the kids in her class and bringing home the important messages about inclusion, reconciliation and the environment that the voyage represents.
Another impressive educational aspect of the Canada C3 expedition is that it includes one of Dalhousie University's new sea-going, mobile laboratories. According to Dal News, the idea for the laboratory came from Doug Wallace, Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Ocean Science and Technology. The laboratory, which I had the chance to visit when aboard the ship, will be the main research centre throughout the journey where work will be done to investigate Canada's marine microbial diversity. What's amazing about the lab is the way that everything inside has to be fully contained and secured so that the movement of the ship doesn't disrupt any of the work they are going to be doing.
And although I couldn't stay longer on board, Bullfrog will have a presence as Dave Borins, who manages our community renewable projects program, will be travelling for a short part of the first leg of the trip from Toronto to Montreal. He'll be meeting even more of the participants, sharing the work that Bullfrog Power does and learning in turn from a diverse group of students, artists, educators and explorers.
The weeks and months ahead are going to be exciting ones as we all follow the expedition along Canada's coasts and through the Northwest Passage. For those of us at Bullfrog Power, we're looking forward to the ship's appearance on the West Coast, where we hope to be part of stops with First Nations communities that Bullfrog Power has supported through our community renewable projects program.
For those on board, making that connection between the effects of climate change they'll see as they travel through the arctic and the new solar installations our customers have helped build through their support of Bullfrog will be a powerful moment as we think about our country's future and our relationship to our natural environment.

Summer Creativity in the Cotswolds
Hawkwood offers a diverse programme of courses in arts and crafts, music, well-being, spirituality, nature and sustainability.
Situated in a Grade II listed Cotswold country house surrounded by 42 sustainably managed acres with far reaching views, it's a welcoming, peaceful setting for learning a new skill, personal development, going on retreat, or holding a training event.
Centrally located just outside the lively market town of Stroud in Gloucestershire it's been described as "like a hotel, only with more soul."
Hawkwood was established in 1948 as an independent centre for learning and achieved charitable status in the 1970s. It welcomes visitors from all walks of life throughout the year.
The gently sloping grounds include an organic farm, pastures, a Victorian walled garden, 10 acres of mixed woodland, lovely gardens, a natural spring, a labyrinth and an award-winning ponds and wetlands water treatment system. The facilities include seven group rooms, 49 beds, an outdoor classroom and a woodland sanctuary.
A vibrant season of residential summer schools showcases the diversity of Hawkwood. These include Creative Arts Summer School 19th-27th July; the Sustainability Summer School with Polly Higgins, Tim 'Mac' Macartney and Jamie Catto 11th-14th August; the new "Rest-ival" week of well-being 18th-21st August; and a week to create your own Tibetan-style singing bowl, work with Master craftsman Ton Akkermans from Holland.
Practical music making is on offer with renowned soprano Emma Kirkby, the Aurora Wind Ensemble and James Weeks, one of Britain's most inventive young composers.
Throughout June 2014, the Stroud area is celebrating the centenary of Laurie Lee of Cider with Rosie fame. Lee knew Hawkwood well and his influence is honoured by Kevan Manwaring of the Cotswold Word Centre, a new initiative that offers a platform for all word-based culture in the region. "Gloucestershire has a fantastic literary heritage including Laurie Lee, the Dymock poets, George Orwell and others as well as a buzzing contemporary scene. There must be something in the water as there are so many writers, artists, musicians, therapists, actors, ecologists, publishers, and visionaries here. There could be no better home for this project than the stunning holistic education centre of Hawkwood," he says.

Moorhouse Art @ The Mill


Global News, 14 January 2013. At a presentation to University of Regina students on Monday, Idle No More co-founder Sylvia McAdam wasn't afraid to air her own criticism of how some in the mass media have portrayed her grassroots movement.
"I have an issue with media. There is this automatic idea that indigenous people and leaders are misusing funds. That is not true," McAdam told students, referring to allegations of mismanaged funds on Chief Theresa Spence's Northern Ontario Attawapiskat reserve.
McAdam was also quick to point out that while they may share common goals, Chief Spence is separate from the Idle No More movement. Her message to future journalists, besides making sure to get the facts straight was that more dialogue is needed.
Idle No More wasn't present at the meeting on Friday between Stephen Harper and First Nations Chiefs. McAdam says they weren't invited, but had they been, they would have probably not attended anyway because the government had made it clear Bill C-45 would not be repealed.
See video of Sylvia McAdam, Idle No More co-Founder, at the University of Regina (sponsored by The event was jointly sponsored by the School of Journalism, University of Regina, and the Indian Communication Arts program at the First Nations University of Canada).

The economic crisis sweeping across Greece had a considerable impact on certain ages and overall shortens life expectancy rates.
An Imperial College London study group revealed that a group of researchers studied life expectancy by 2030 in 35 countries across the world, one of which is Greece and reported that life expectancy rates are on the decline.
"In Greece in recent years there has been an increase in mortality at certain ages and this is probably related to the difficult economic situation in the country," Vasilis Kontis, one of the researchers told sources.
Since the 1960s until the beginning of the current decade, life expectancy in Greece was on the rise. Up until 2012, life expectancy for women was around 83 years and 78 for men.
"Countries with a rapid increase in life expectancy are those with strong health systems and healthcare and public health successes, such as the prognosis and treatment of chronic diseases or the reduction of obesity and smoking," he elaborated.
In order for a country to have its citizens live longer, policies should be in place to ensure a good quality of life for the elderly and help to avoid the burden on the health system. On the larger scale, a report had said that in several Balkans countries a drop in population of more than 15 per cent is expected by the year 2050.
"Several countries are expected to see their populations decline by more than 15 per cent by 2050, including Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine and the United States Virgin Islands," the report published on June 21 said.

Q: Android :Declared Global variables becoming null while running the app? I'm using this class.
I'm new to android, I have declared global variables in one class. and I'm using that variables across the multiple activities,but these global variables are becoming null while running may app only in low memory devices and version I'm using for testing 2.3.6
How can I solve this problem?

A: Try Like This:
Create a shared data class:
SharedData.java
public class SharedData {

    private static SharedData instance = new SharedData();

    // Getter-Setters
    public static SharedData getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }

    public static void setInstance(SharedData instance) {
        SharedData.instance = instance;
    }

    private int notification_index;

    private SharedData() {

    }

    public int getNotification_index() {
        return notification_index;
    }

    public void setNotification_index(int notification_index) {
        this.notification_index = notification_index;
    }

}

Declared/Initiaze an instance of class globally in classes where you want to set/get data:
SharedData sharedData = SharedData.getInstance();

Set data:
sharedData.setNotification_index(123);

Get data:
int n = sharedData.getNotification_index();

A: There are few solutions to it:

*

*Extend the Application class for storing global values, and that
class will be   available across you activities.

*Save in SharedPreferences(This is the easiest and reliable way to save and retrieve global data).

*Save in database(Sqlite db).

*Also, you can save in SDcard or internal memory.
Let us know How you are trying to store value and at which point it's value is getting reset.
Example code for First option:
public class GlobalValue extends Application {

     private int value = 0;

    public int getValue() {
        return value;
    }

     public void setValue(int value) {
         this.value = gameScore;
     }
     public void incrementValue(){
         value++;
     }

 }

Declare this class in Manifest file :
 1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    2:    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    3:     package="com.example"
    4:     android:versionCode="1"
    5:     android:versionName="1.0" >
    6:
    7:      <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" />
    8:
    9:      <application
    10:         android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    11:         android:label="@string/app_name"
    12:         android:name="GlobalState" >
    13:
    14:         <!-- component definitions -->
    15:     </application>
    16:
    17:   </manifest>

A: I think you are creating instance of that class each time in your all activities.
declare all variable as "public static final" in that class
if you want to use that global variable than you just code like this in your activities.
 SQRUtils.downloader = // change which you want//

SQRUtils.mGson = //if you want to change mgson value//

and you can get all data each time in all class .after stop that application this variable will be delete.


Delicious treats and friendly local owners. What more could you ask for? We stopped here almost daily during our vacation in PV.
Family-run friendly place with very wide selection of ice cream (paletas) and popsicles. Serves also local drinks.
We got the paletas which were tasty. Coconut was a great choice. If you like the flavor of maple/praline/nuttiness, then try the Nuez. Both were extremely creamy. The kiwi looked beautiful, but was quite tart. Overall, a great place to stop by.
Lots of flavours and options to choose from including dairy and non dairy based. Grab one and sit on a nearby bench to watch the ocean! We love the fresa flavour.
My family and I stopped for paletas after dinner one evening. There is actually a lot of different flavors packed into the cases. I'm not usually a dessert person, but I do like fruit. The one i picked was very good and not overly sweet.
What more can I say? Delicious ice cream! I love coco ice cream! Very tasty natural ice cream. So creamy deliciousness.
