Timber firm secures future with investment
26th July 2011 News 493 Views
West Yorkshire timber firm CR Taylor Timber has been given the go-ahead to build 73 new homes at its Denholme head office and timber yard.
The granting of planning permission means the company will be able to move from premises that it has long outgrown.
Executive chairman Charles Taylor said: "We have long outgrown our present premises. Our long-intended relocation is now firmly back on the agenda.
"The planning committee recognised that for the business to expand and develop we need to move. They also felt the site was ideal for residential rather than commercial development, as it stands in a picturesque setting bordering the local reservoir.
"It is all very positive. We can now start concentrating on our expansion plans in earnest. The project was always dependant on us receiving planning consent to allow us to invest in the relocation programme.
"There is no set timescale – the scheme is still at its early stages – and while we are still looking for a purpose-built site, we do not have any in mind at the moment.
"However, we intend to stay locally and are looking for a potential new home in the Bradford district, ideally near the motorway network. Our delivery vehicles operate across the UK and we need a location that will allow us to better facilitate our fast-expanding timber and engineered timber businesses."
CR Taylor Timber has been based in Denholme since being established in 1960, moving to its
current Station Sawmills site in Station Road in1966. The company also has a branch in Thornton Road, Bradford.

Masked Singer's Trio of Castoffs Talks Disguising Highly Recognizable Voices and Killing at Karaoke
Kimberly Roots
Two of the performers exiting The Masked Singer this week are known for their pipes, and the other is known for ruling the halfpipe.
Wednesday's Super Six semifinals featured a solid slate of strong performances. (Read a full recap.) But at the end, Seahorse, Popcorn and Jellyfish were called to take off their masks and depart the competition. When their costume toppers were removed, Seahorse was revealed to be singer/songwriter Tori Kelly, Popcorn was revealed to be '80s/'90s chanteuse Taylor Dayne and Jellyfish was revealed to be Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim.
TVLine chatted with all three women for some tidbits about their time on the show. Topics of conversation included:
KELLY REALLY DOES SOUND LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS | And she knows it! "I've always loved doing vocal impressions," she says. "I got excited about picking different songs so I could let those little alter egos come out. So the Britney song? I was waiting for that moment." She adds that her approach to "…Baby One More Time" was to "hint at the Britney impression but then towards the end, I slowly teased people with my own voice and tried to make it my own a little more."
DAYNE'S MASKED SINGER ALUM PAL IS SOMEONE YOU PROBABLY KNOW | Remember when Popcorn's costumed friend dished a few clues in Episode 7? Turns out, that was Scientology and the Aftermath's Leah Remini — a past Masked guest judge — who really did have karaoke parties where Dayne tried to get out of performing. "She was ahead of her time," Dayne says, laughing as she notes that Remini usually wound up getting a song or two out of her.
SPEAKING OF KARAOKE, THE KIMS KNOW HOW TO GET DOWN | Kim tells TVLine that her family has a serious amateur singing set-up in their living room, and "every time we have a family gathering — there's six of us in total — we always end the night with a karaoke session, which usually involves a lot of wine for my family members. So I'm just sitting there, watching everyone be a little rowdy." Her go-to? "'Chandelier' by Sia," she says. "I'm not saying it's good! But I can start it and finish it. I may not have a voice for the next couple of days, but it was definitely worth it."
KELLY HAD AN ATYPICAL COSTUME EXPERIENCE | "I actually feel like I got really lucky with my costume, because the body part of it was real easy to move around in. It's just kind of stretchy material," she recalls. "I can't really complain, because I've heard of people just sweating so much in their costume, and it's this big, giant thing. I definitely wanted to make sure I could dance around in mine beforehand, so I'm glad they made it happen."
IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING ABOUT CHLOE KIM (PART I) | Taking the stage as Jellyfish, "I was so nervous. Like, you have no idea," the Olympic gold medalist tells TVLine. "I was way more nervous than I am snowboarding, even at the Olympics."
IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING ABOUT CHLOE KIM (PART II) | During the chat, Kim said she was spending her increased time at home during the pandemic watching a bunch of TV shows, including New Girl. "I've already finished the show but I'm rewatching it because my boyfriend's never seen it before. We're on Season 4 or something, and we started last week," she reports, laughing. "I'm at Cece's wedding right now, and I cried so much. My boyfriend's just patting my back like, 'It's OK." I'm sobbing. It's ridiculous. But it makes me happy, so whatever."

(or, inevitable third-person bio)
Myshele is an American-born writer and activist who has made her home in Scotland, a country she fell in love with at the age of 19. Most recently she has worked for the Scottish Green Party and taught sociology at the University of Strathclyde, where she completed her PhD in 2010.
A desire to challenge injustice is at the root of all her work. Since early 2013 her activism has focused on opportunities for social change through constitutional change in Scotland, and post-referendum her work with with the Radical Independence Campaign continues in Aberdeen (ricaberdeen.wordpress.com) and nationally (radical.scot). She was involved with the Centre for Human Ecology from 2004-2010, and she founded Goo Goo Dolls Fans for Peace, which was active between 2002 and 2006.
Beyond obvious activism, she is fascinated with big questions. How do we learn our place in society? Why do some people have more power and privilege than others? What do we cherish most deeply, and how do we build our lives to reflect those values?
These kinds of questions arise from a deep curiosity about the world and a strong sense of social justice, which developed during Myshele's formative years in education. As a child and teenager, she attended schools at both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum, and her undergraduate university was an elite bubble in a deprived area of Los Angeles. Issues of wealth, poverty and persistent inequality have always been tangible and personal.
In her writing and teaching, Myshele seeks to connect everyday experiences with wider social processes, making abstract ideas more tangible and personal for readers and students. She enjoys finding the hidden meanings in things we take for granted, and getting out of the ivory tower to share those insights with a wide audience. For two years she wrote a regular column on the Education page of the Scotsman newspaper, and she has also written numerous articles for other newspapers and magazines. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, students nominated her for Teaching Excellence Awards, in the categories 'passion for the subject' and 'most enthusiastic.'
One of Myshele's main intellectual passions is higher education, along with formal education more broadly. She is fascinated with the paradox that schools, colleges and universities are key points where inequalities are both maintained and transformed. She believes that modern education systems are deeply flawed, but still provide important tools for changing individual lives – and society – for the better.

Limitless clean energy 'could be here by 2030' and solve the climate crisis
Rob WaughMonday 25 Feb 2019 3:09 pm
Last summer, the interior of a doughnut-shaped object in a building in Culham in Oxfordshire blazed up to 15 million degrees Celsius – as hot as the core of the sun.
The company behind the 'nuclear fusion' breakthrough believes that it could be supplying energy to the grid by 2030 – and one day, some advocates belive it could be the key to generating limitless clean energy.
Tokamak Energy co-founder David Kingham said this week, 'It was very good to see the data coming through and being able to get the high-temperature plasmas – probably beyond what we were hoping for.'
This is where the magic happens (Credit Tokamak Energy)
Kingham told Live Science, 'It's been really exciting,' and says that the company hopes to use an even hotter plasma of up to 100 million degrees Celsius next year.
By 2025, the company hopes to produce several megawatts of fusion power.
Tokamak reactors hope to generate fusion energy from a plasma trapped in a magnetic field – but the key to igniting the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms is temperature.
The reactor's achievement in heating charged particles up to 15 million degrees could be a milestone on the way to developing fusion power plants.
Every nuclear reactor currently operating on Earth is a fission reactor – using energy released when heavy atoms such as uranium decay into smaller atoms, a process similar to the one used in the first nuclear weapons.
Could nuclear fusion offer an answer? (Getty)
A fusion reactor works in the opposite way, harvesting the energy released when two smaller atoms join together, releasing tiny, fast-moving particles smaller than atoms.
But to do so, companies need to find a way to harvest energy from a plasma held at millions of degrees Celsius – something that has defied researchers for decades.

But many experts believe that there are significant barriers before the technology can come into widespread use.
Chris Russell, Managing Director of British renewable electricity supplier Tonik Energy said, 'Nuclear fusion has long been held up as a the future of energy despite the significant scientific and engineering barriers that must be overcome.
'Although advances have been made in the field over the last 5 years in particular, projects have always struggled to achieve an energy surplus – meaning more energy is consumed by the technology itself than it generates.
Russell said, 'New superconductor technology offers some promise here however commercial barriers still exist to being able to effectively scale any solution in the near term.
'A world powered by carbon neutral, clean technology is ultimately the only sustainable long term solution so we hope that fusion can eventually sit alongside other proven, sustainable and distributed technologies such as wind and solar in delivering that vision.'

Kant is committed to the reality of a subject self, outside time but active in forming experience. Timeless activity is problematic, but that can be dealt with. But he holds that the subject of experience is not an object of experience, so nothing can be known about it; this raises a problem about the status of his own theory. But he ought to allow that we can know of its existence and activity, as preconditions of experience: the Critique allows that synthetic a priori truths can be known in this way. However, its identity conditions remain unknowable. Kant's unity of apperception shares much with Locke's continuity of consciousness, but does not determine the identity of a thing. Personal identity is bodily identity. Only Kant's moral philosophy justifies recognizing other selves; it could warrant ascribing a similar status to animals.

Flying M Ranch housing decision postponed
Local | May 6, 2019
Thomas Phippen
Looking Northeast towards the Riverview School from the Ironbridge Golf Course.
Chelsea Self/Glenwood Springs Post Independent
Traffic, lighting, density and urban disruption dominated a continued public hearing about a proposed mixed-use development south of Glenwood Springs on Monday, pitting developers against the neighboring community.
The Garfield Board of County Commissioners continued a public hearing on the proposed Flying M Ranch development near the Riverview School to May 20, to give staff time to review comments from the Colorado Department of Transportation about the traffic impacts.
CDOT responded to an updated traffic study just hours before the Monday hearing, and staff did not have time to review it before the 1 p.m. hearing.
The owners of the land, under the company Eastbank LLC, is pressuring developer Robert Macgregor, who was a major player in the Glenwood Meadows project, to begin soon and take advantage of the 2019 construction season.
The project includes affordable housing in the form of tiny homes and townhouses, plus several business spaces, improvements to a trail along the Roaring Fork River and potentially a community center and a hospice/elder care facility.
The Westbank homeowners association has mixed feelings about the prospect of tiny home development, with some saying traffic is a great concern, Steven Beattie, partner at the Glenwood law firm Beattie, Houpt and Jarvis, said at the hearing.
But the townhome and condominium units that the developers propose are unacceptable, Beattie said.
"We are unanimous in the proposition that, to put this kind of unit directly across the street, the river from Westbank is completely inappropriate," Beattie said.
One major sticking point is the height. Westbank homeowners are limited to 25 feet, but at one point, Eastbank LLC sought a 35-foot height limit for the proposed multi-family units. Eastbank amended their application with a 30-foot limit for the condos, and a 25-foot height limit for single-family homes.
"Right now, you have people who are ready and willing to do something new here, and I ask that you'd give them a chance," Macgregor told the commissioners Monday.
Generally, neighbors see the development as too dense. The project would be far more dense than the surrounding rural-suburban area, proposing 228 living units on 33 acres.
"Everything in this part is zoned rural, and that's why many folks live here. We don't want to live in the city, so why change it?" said John Haines, a Westbank resident.
The project doesn't fit any more than the proposed storage unit near Catherine Store in Carbondale, Haines said.
Commissioner Mike Samson commented that the storage unit projects, which the board rejected in April, would be welcome developments in western Garfield County. Haines suggested that perhaps this development would be better suited to the western part of the county, as well.
Macgregor said later in the hearing that suggesting the development be sent west was "a whistle call to the class system" and a disservice to the workforce that teaches in area schools and works in restaurants and at golf courses.
A housing needs survey presented in late April found that just 19,000 out of 47,000 employed residents of the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys live where they work.

Many bowling clubs today are incorporating shade structures around the greens. This waterproof structure offers protection to bowlers at Austral Bowing Club in Sydney. A waterproof cantilever 18 x 5m was installed as part of a major club refurbishment project. The stylish cantilevered structure blends in beautifully with the new work and is enjoyed by patrons.


The norm in many organisations is to have grey-haired technophobes at the top and twenty-something gadget lovers among the customer-facing workforce. The early adopters (traditionally young) are likely to be the staff with no management responsibility while those in charge don't even know what Twitter is, let alone Facebook. Managers should not shun modern communication channels but educate themselves so they understand the possibilities, the practicalities and the pitfalls.
Facebook and Twitter hacking is a growing problem because a huge percentage of social networkers access their accounts from smart phones that are easily left lying around. What happens, then, when your young marketing manager leaves his phone on a table in the pub where his mates can pick it up and post scurrilous messages on his Facebook Wall or Twitter account? The same problem is true on laptops, although many people use passwords to protect their desktops from prying eyes.
3. Whose account is being used?
A lot of professionals posting on Twitter promote the services of the company they work for, but they do it in their own name. Are you happy about this? Wouldn't you rather be promoted under your own brand instead of have your corporate messages mixed up between "I had a great party last night" and "about to have a Jaffa Cake"? You should not discourage employees from talking about work on their private accounts (it's promotion after all) but make sure the distinction is drawn between private comment and official announcements.
4. What are they saying?
If a member of your staff is posting about company affairs on a social network, are they saying anything you would rather they didn't? What happens, for example, if a consultant tweets from the board room of a key client to say he is there giving them some consultancy? Will this jeopardise the confidentiality between company and client? Make sure staff realise that not everything can be shared.
Each social network has its own character, and the audience using it is in a different frame of mind. Think of Twitter like a room full of people you don't know, all talking over each other, where you hear bits and pieces of things being said. No whole conversation, just odd comments. Facebook is more like a room full of friends, where the conversation is more meaningful and engaging, but not the kind of environment where you can walk in and try to sell double glazing. LinkedIn is like a room full of business professionals, all wearing a name badge, willing to give and receive information, or just conversation. The way you interact on each site should be slightly different.
Twitter is being used as an effective customer interaction tool by some companies (like BAA and the Post Office). Inviting discussion via Twitter is a good way to not only be responsive but also to be seen to be responsive. Communicating with customers via email and telephone is important, but chatting on an open forum allows others to see the company being responsive.
If you think "social media marketing" means you just need to promote your products and services via social networks, you are very much mistaken. The best use of social networking is to not sell but to just interact. Banging on about nothing but yourself is boring, commenting on what others have to say is more engaging. Obviously, you should do a bit of both.
Don't just use social networks like Twitter and Facebook as a broadcast channel. Also look for interesting things your followers are posting and comment on these, passing some on to your other followers. Not only does this give you more free and quick content to post but it also encourages loyalty in those you are acknowledging.
Someone in your company needs to ensure your social media policy is known about and adhered to. There's no point creating rules if no one ever reads them or abides by them. Select a suitable person with managerial authority to take on the mantle of social media policy watchdog. Also, ensure adherence to the policy is written into your personnel contracts, which is a job for HR. There's no point in having rules if you don't have a stick to enforce them with.
Run training workshops for your staff so they can learn how to make the most of social networks, and so they can learn your company's social media policy. DotPonto offers training sessions on the top three networks (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook) and we can help you devise and implement your social media policy. If you are interested, contact us.

Frieze: Anahita Razmi
The 2011 Emdash Award winner and video/performance artist discusses roof top demos in Tehran, censorship and the celebrated choreographer and visual artist Trisha Brown
Frieze: Anahita Razmi8
Anahita Razmi holds up a veil to her eye; the video is entitled 'How your veil can help you in the case of an earthquake'. It's lesson six where you are so shocked or surprised at the tremors that you use a veil to wipe away tears you cry. Political yet humorous, it sums up the half German, half Iranian artists trip through her cultural heritage cut with a pinch of Stuttgart logic. In this interview Dazed talks to Razmi about her Emdash award commission for Frieze Art Fair, an exploration of roof top demonstrations in Tehran's 2009 election protests. A video installation that references Trisha Brown's 1971 work Roof Piece and makes use of time lapses to interelate rooftop dancers performances to the context of Tehran's roof space.
Packed with illegal satellite dishes, transmitting foreign media such as BBC Persia, the roofs have become a political space. Satellite television provides the main source of unfiltered global information where only state television is permitted. The Internet is also censored, and during the 2009 protests it was simply cut off. Artists are permitted to exhibit but only with prior permission. Much like the situation during the communist German Democratic Republic works can critique but only indirectly. As a foreign artist Razmi is able to openly discuss current affairs in Tehran but she chooses to while also celebrating Iran's often forgotten rich cultural legacy.
Dazed Digital: Congratulations on the Emdash award, what stage is the commission at right now?
Anahita Razmi: Thank you, at the moment there's actually a lot of organising and planning. I'm doing area research to find out the best place to do the performance. There were certain areas in the 2009 protests on rooftops, which were the centre of protest.
DD: What made the protests on rooftops special?
Anahita Razmi: They were very different. Iranian people were going out on roofs at night and shouting 'death to the dictator' and 'Allah Akbar' from one roof to another and it echoed through the whole city. So, if you tell someone in Tehran you want to do something on the roofs they are apprehensive because it's a political space in a way. After these protests people directly related the roofs to the protests.
DD: You're based in Stuttgart; do you see differences in the work of artists based in Tehran?
Anahita Razmi: My works are always conceptual and political but they also have a sense of humour. When you talk to artists in Tehran of course it's hard for them to have this sense of humour. If you do something wrong you are in jail, that's it. I also think Iranian's are very emotional and I'm quite a rational person.
DD: A similar work to your commission is 'Trying, Tackling, Tehran' which addresses the absence of public dance or nightclubs. Is this part of simply part of Iran's culture?
Anahita Razmi: No, no, it's definitely imposed by the state. If you go back to the times before the revolution there was Persian dance for example. Now everything from theatre to sculpture has certain rules but dance, it's just non existent.
DD: Iran's was a religious revolution, so is it a new form of religion that's prohibited this form of cultural expression?
Anahita Razmi: I don't think religion is the problem. It's just the government uses religion to make up rules that will help them. I mean I know a lot of Muslim people in Iran, who believe in Islam but don't believe in the government you know.
DD: After the protests there was a Facebook group which collected 170 clips of people killed by the regime. Why is your Frieze commission referencing Trisha Brown's piece rather than images direct from the protests?
Anahita Razmi: You take Trisha Brown's dance piece, the history of her work. Of course 'everything is political' but it's not, you know. You take what was done in New York and you take it to another space and it becomes something else. I don't have to do anything else and it becomes a political piece, with different associations, even if I don't change anything. I also like the idea of doing something that is creating movement, not shouting, not saying anything or making a political statement. I really want to avoid this. It gets different references by just doing it. There are so many things coming into the performance and into the piece that are just eminently there.
DD: Do you see yourself creating an original artwork or a continuation of Brown's piece?
Anahita Razmi: No, I think definitely it's a new thing. It takes different references. I'm always directly referencing. I never say I'm working from a blank piece of paper.
DD: And who will actually be involved? A lot of your work looks at gender.
Anahita Razmi: I really wanted to have men and women as performers. It makes more sense with the intention. Definitely not to make it a woman's piece. You have all these things about suppressed women in Iran and of course it's true but everyone is suppressed there. To make it a feminist statement?...definitely not.
DD: It would take away from the piece?
Anahita Razmi: Yes, then you would be thinking what is it feminist? Women dancing? No, no no. Definitely not, it's going to be men and women, fifty-fifty maybe.
DD: Making sure there's no room for interpretation.
Anahita Razmi: Yes. [Laughs]

Accused Russian Hacker To Plead Guilty To U.S. Charges; Case Prompted Diplomatic Fight With Israel
A Russian man who was the subject of a three-year diplomatic scuffle between Russia, Israel, and the United States was set to plead guilty to U.S. charges related to the massive cyber theft of credit cards.
Documents filed in a U.S. federal court indicated that Aleksei Burkov, 29, will change his plea from not guilty when he makes his next court appearance on January 23.
Burkov's U.S. defense lawyer did not immediately respond to a query from RFE/RL.
Burkov, who was extradited to the United States from Israel in November, was the latest in a series of alleged Russian hackers whom U.S. authorities have targeted for arrest while they were traveling outside of Russia.
The arrests have prompted angry denunciations from Moscow, which accused the United States of "hunting" Russian citizens.
He was initially arrested by Israel in 2015, on a U.S. arrest warrant. Indictments unsealed later charged him in connection with allegedly operating two Russian-language chat forums where, according to U.S. officials, members traded stolen credit card numbers and other information worth millions of dollars.
Diplomatic Scandal
After his arrest, Moscow pressed the Israeli government to send Burkov to Russia and not to the United States.
According to court documents filed last week, Burkov oversaw two forums in the early 2010s: Cardplanet and Direct Connection.
On Cardplanet, Burkov allegedly advertised more than 150,000 hacked credit cards, many of which came from U.S. banks.
Direct Connection, meanwhile, was a Russian-language members-only forum where users could trade stolen credit cards, but also tips, malware, and other cyberscams, according to U.S. officials.
The newest filings omit mention of another forum that Burkov had been linked to earlier: a forum where a massive database containing the records of 191 million U.S. voters had been offered for sale in November 2015.
The fight for custody of Burkov grew into a public diplomatic scandal last year, when an Israeli woman was arrested at a Moscow airport in April as she was flying through, en route to another country.
Bargaining Chip?
Police said they found a small amount of marijuana in Naama Issachar's luggage and charged her with drug smuggling. Issachar, who also holds U.S. citizenship, has denied the charges. In October, a Russian court sentenced her to 7 1/2 years in prison.
Many Israelis were outraged by the sentence which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized as being disproportionate.
Issacher's relatives, meanwhile, publicly accused Russian authorities of holding the 27-year-old Issachar as a bargaining chip to persuade Netanyahu to turn Burkov over to Russia.
Netanyahu, who has cultivated good relations with Putin, will meet the Russian leader when Putin travels to Jerusalem on January 23, to participate in a private forum connected to the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp.
The forum is being hosted and paid for by Russian-Israeli oligarch Moshe Kantor, who has been identified by the United States as having close Kremlin connections.
On January 20, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin and Netanyahu were likely to discuss Issachar's case.

So if they are "hunted" why do they all admit guilt? This guy is even smiling because he knows prison in America is better than freedom in Putin's Muskovia.

Chare Hospital offered finance by west coastal communities
7 October 2014 @ 10:42
Costa del Sol`s west coastal town
MALAGA'S west coastal towns of Manílva, Casares and Estepona, have jointly offered finance to the Andalusian Council (Junta de Andalucía) to complete the hospital project Chare, which was due to start construction in 2005.
The three town halls have agreed to finance 50% of the 16 million needed to build the high technology hospital, similar to the Chare in Benalmádena.
The proposal made In the press conference yesterday, the president of Costa del Sol's west coastal communities, Margarita del Cid, the governor of Estepona, José María García Urbano and the mayor of Manilva, Diego Urieta announced the proposal yesterday at a press conference, where they all collaborated and said the proposal was made, "in the spirit of the communities" and because there is "a vital necessity in the area" for the west coastal inhabitants.
The offer consists of Estepona town hall paying 25% of the total construction, while Casares and Manilva pay 10% each of the total cost. Margarita del Cid welcomed the joint venture and said: " Reuniting the good will of our town halls is of public interest, and enables the communities to have a health infrastructure that should have been functioning in 2009".
The major of Estepona reminded the press that the council agreed to build the hospital in 2005 to accommodate the growing population of 200,000 inhabitants in the summer months. He said: "The economic structure has been agreed with the council, it is of absolute necessity to strengthen and improve the health service in the area. It will also relieve pressure from the Costa del Sol hospital in Marbella".
The hospital project solicited the building licence in 2008 and it was granted in 2009, but in June 2011, the Andalusian Council decided not to go ahead and the proposal has been stopped ever since.
CHARE HOSPITAL


In a Viewpoint published in The Lancet today, a group of doctors from the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP) describe in chilling detail how they coped with the large influx of wounded on the night of Friday, November 13, following the coordinated terrorist attacks. Operating continuously through the night, 35 surgical teams from 10 hospitals across Paris operated on the most seriously injured. Most of the patients were younger than 40 years old. The doctors praise the efficiency of the crisis plan in Paris that ensured casualties were dispatched to appropriate hospitals across the region and prevented medical staff from being overwhelmed in case of additional attacks.
Although emergency physicians have been receiving training in disaster medicine for more than 30 years, never before had such a number of victims been reached and so many wounded been operated on urgently. A new threshold has been crossed. … Professionalism was present at each level. … difficulties vanished, working together appeared fluid and somehow harmonious. … Solidarity was observable inside the APHP hospital but also between the different APHP hospitals.
When English surgeon and social reformer Thomas Wakley founded The Lancet in 1823, he announced, "A lancet can be an arched window to let in the light or it can be a sharp surgical instrument to cut out the dross and I intend to use it in both senses." This philosophy remains at the heart of the journal today.
Through the 19th and 20th centuries, The Lancet pursued its mission to grow the evidence base the world's medical community requires to combat the global burden of disease. Entering the 21st century, The Lancet has launched specialty journals in the fields of oncology, neurology, infectious diseases, respiratory medicine, global health and diabetes and endocrinology.

Southwest Florida Symphony returns to home concert hall with a pair of concerts
"It's been 14 long months since the Southwest Florida Symphony last played Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall," writes Charles Runnells in Wednesday's (4/14) Fort Myers News-Press (FL). "The Fort Myers orchestra returns Saturday for the first of two shows…. 'This is our life,' violinist Dilyana Tsenov says.… 'For us, this is very important—to keep playing for people and sharing our art.' First up for the symphony: Saturday's mash-up of Beethoven and rock band Coldplay, led by composer/conductor Steve Hackman. After that: Former music director Nir Kabaretti's long-delayed farewell concert on May 1…. 'It's kind of like you're a little kid and your parents tell you that they're taking you to Disney World. And you just don't want to believe it until you actually get there,' Executive Director Amy Ginsburg says.… For safety, the symphony decided to forgo concerts with the full orchestra for most of its 2020-21 season…. The symphony's donors have continued to be supportive [and] the orchestra got two loans from the federal Paycheck Protection Program…. Another help: The orchestra moved out of its old business office and into new, donated space inside the Sanibel Captiva Community Bank building."

All Brew Dr. Products
Tranquil – Kombucha + CBD
Brew Dr. Uplift – Yerba Mate
THANKS FOR AN AMAZING 14 YEARS!
The economic challenges of the past year have forced us to make the previously unthinkable decision to permanently close our teahouses and online tea store. We opened our first shop back in 2006 with the idea of giving our community a place to have a unique experience exploring the many ways in which tea is prepared. We are sad to leave, but also understand that there is a time and place for everything and it's okay to reach the end of a chapter. We are SO thankful for the friends and memories we have made over the years.
The Brew Dr. tea journey continues, now focused on our work as Brew Dr. Kombucha. While we will miss making you a cup of tea at our teahouses, we will continue to make you organic, raw, tea-centric kombucha at its finest.
Matt, Jake, Laura, Gregg, Mo, Lou, Rachel, Monica, Frank, Carissa, Quinn, Seth, Ray, Jason, Clare, Troy and the whole family from over the years at Townshend's and Brew Dr.

The Hot Shoe 100 is the largest Modified event in the Midwest, and one of the largest in the entire United States.
In 2019, the Kinross Speedpark was privileged to host this event for the first time, the 6th event in Hot Shoe history.
With over 1,800 fans in the grandstands, over 225 camping units on the grounds and 117 competitors, it was by far the largest event in the history of the Kinross Speedpark.
Along with the cars and stars from across the United States and Canada, the 2019 Hot Shoe 100 featured 25-year NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace who piloted a Burkett-Nester race car sponsored by Eazy Express and GFL Environmental.
The event was a huge success and an attribute to the hard work and dedication of the 'Gray Crew', the Speedpark volunteers and all of supporters (drivers, fans, sponsors) to make it possible.
Unfortunately, the 2020 event was cancelled due to the inactivity of Kinross due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We are thoroughly looking forward to 2021 to return this highlighted event to the 1/4 mile asphalt oval on August 5-7, 2021.
25-year NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace
addresses the drivers before the 2019 event
Over 1,800 excited fans packed the grandstands for the inaugural event to be held at Kinross in 2019.
Ortonville, MI competitor Blake Rowe captured the 6th Annual event in the 100-lap Modified A-Main
2021 Hot Shoe 100 Camping Rates
Full Hook-Ups - $20 USD per night, per sleeping unit
Primitive - $17 USD per night, per sleeping unit
Full Hook-Ups = water + power, or power | Primitive = lots without power and/or water
**IMPORTANT** Campers who have paid for lots for the 2020 event will have that lot(s) held, and that payment applied for the 2021 event.
Those who have not yet secured their lot can contact Donna (705-254-5200) to inquire about availability.
• to reserve a lot, fees must be paid in advance. Lots are not confirmed without payment
•• Fee applies to one sleeping unit per lot. Any additional units on a lot will be charged
••• event officials have final decision on lot arrangements
CALL DONNA:
* if calling from the U.S. please be sure to key in '1' proceeding the number
** Text messages, Facebook messages WILL NOT be accepted for camping reservations
Checks made payable to 'Kinross Speedpark' can be mailed to:
ABOUT CAMPING AT THE TRACK
R.V. Park West is located at the Chippewa County Fairgrounds - Home of the Kinross Speedpark and Hot Shoe 100.
The park has dirt roads and grass campsites accommodating those who need full hook-ups (power and water or just power) along with an abundance of primitive space for tents or those campers who have self-contained services.
The park features two separate bathroom/shower facilities along with a Kids Play area and MORE!
By staying at the track (RV West) you will be just minutes away from "The Oaks at Kincheloe"; an 18 hole championship style public golf course, 2 swimming and fishing lakes (Duke's Lake and Kinross Lake), ORV and equestrian trails, several churches, a laundromat, restaurants, gas stations, grocery and hardware store, R.V. Repair dealer and other retail stores. The Kinross Rec Center also has many events as well as ball diamonds, a computer lab and an exercise room to offer visitors to the area.

Q: Android IIR low pass filter noise I'm making synthesizer capable generate three basic types of sound and filtering it. For filtering I used code from TarsosDSP.
However filtering of sound is correct, but there is lot of noise, which is a lot louder than sound itself.
I didn't make any big changes to a code, only added conversion float -> short, because I use buffer of shorts for Audiotrack.
Here is the code:
int amp = 32767;
double phase = 0.0;
float cutOffFrequency = 200;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        AudioManager myAudioMgr = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
        String nativeParam = myAudioMgr.getProperty(AudioManager.PROPERTY_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE);
        sampleRate = Integer.parseInt(nativeParam);
        nativeParam = myAudioMgr.getProperty(AudioManager.PROPERTY_OUTPUT_FRAMES_PER_BUFFER);
        bufSize = Integer.parseInt(nativeParam);
    }

Here is recorded waveform, pattern changes with frequency, lower frequency is fastest.

Low pass filter itself should be correct, checked with matlab.

Petition — Mobile Telephone Mast (West Midlands): Personal Oxygen (Public Transport) 17 Mar 2010
I hear what the Minister is saying. However, there is something I cannot accept, and which the PHA and the British Lung Foundation certainly cannot accept. A number of airlines already accept small oxygen cylinders in the cabin for the personal use of patients. Why on earth can we not say that, if it is good enough for those airlines, it applies across the board? The practical issue of...
I accept everything that the Minister is saying, but EC regulation 1107/2006 is being reviewed. Is that not an opportunity to use the regulation itself, or an addendum to it, to make it absolutely clear that airlines are expected to allow people to bring on board their own personal oxygen cylinders or concentrators for use in the cabin? Surely that is an issue that can be cleared up this year.
We are talking, again, about relatively small cylinders and concentrators. Transport for London is proposing that there should be a proviso whereby somebody should have a letter or other confirmation to show that their cylinder or concentrator is kosher and has been checked for security purposes. In such circumstances, why should people have to give 24 hours' notice to use a train? If we are...

Dodds looking to shout louder about Ultima Business Solution's growth prospects
Less than two months into the role as CEO of Ultima Business Solutions and Scott Dodds is already keen to talk up its growth prospects for 2016 and beyond
It has been just seven weeks since Scott Dodds moved into the CEO office at Ultima Business Solutions but he is already looking ahead to 2016 planning the channel player's growth strategy.
The firm, which is weeks away from celebrating its 25th anniversary, hired former Microsoft and VMware channel executive in mid-October with the then incumbent CEO and founder Max McNeill moving into the chairman role.
With a few weeks under his belt Dodds has found a firm that already has the right strategy in place and is now looking to build on that to ensure it can grow more in the years ahead.
The Ultima business is based around four main planks - strategy and planning, asset lifecycle management, consultancy and managed services - and Dodds has plans for each area.
The strategy and planning business provides customers with advisory services around workspace, mobility, cloud and security. In that area there is a separate operation, Ultima Risk Management, and Dodds feels that there can be closer integration to improve the overall services it can offer.
The asset lifecycle management area covers a lot of the traditional reseller activity and continues to be a major contributor to the overall business.
Consultancy and managed services are the other two areas with the firm employing around 250 consultants the plan is to show customers it can deliver at scale and handle user demands for help with end user computing, data centres and cloud. "Those two areas are areas we have invested in over the last few years," said Dodds.
"I want to integrate our strategy so we are able to offer what customers are looking for as they navigate through the hybrid world," he added "These are exciting times and there is massive potential for us to grow. People are looking for the partner of the future."
Dodds said that being able to put a combination of technology, services and crucially security in front of customers meant that it had a very strong proposition and it could tap into the increasing demand for help with business transformation.
Although some partners feel that the role of the reseller is to be agnostic Dodds disagreed and he feels that there is a need for the channel to provide the customer with some guidance.
Scott Dodds will be known to most of the channel for the years he spent in a senior European partner role at Microsoft. Last year he chose to move to VMware to become its EMEA vice president of channels and alliances but when the call came from his old Rapid Recall colleague Max McNeill to join Ultima he felt he could not refuse.
"To become a CEO is a great honour and a fantastic opportunity. Seven weeks in and it is getting better day by day," he said about the move he made in mid October.
"Customers want advice and they don't want to say 'what do you want?' that is pointless...I think customers want us to have an opinion," he added "They want to know what your opinion is and then see it followed through with examples."
Some of Ultima's rivals have decided that acquisition is the best way to bolster their managed services and in his role as chairman McNeill has a chance to look at potential targets but there does not seem to be any rush to open the cheque book. Dodds is happy sticking for now with an organic growth strategy.
"The organic route has done us well in the last 25 years and that is the strategy going forward," he added "Our challenge is to continue to grow with getting the right people in, trying to bring the right people and excite them about Ultima."
"We need to shout a little louder in the market and we can make a huge start in the next couple of years with our [offerings] on the consultancy and services side," he concluded.

Q: Alternate method for android sdk installation
   Is there an offline installation package for android? I installed the basic ADT and every time I try to access the site and download the APIs and other tools using sdk manager, there is an access problem(I dont even have the adb.exe). I found that downloading using sdk manager is out of option for me due to company policies. Is there some simple exe installation that would help me start my work? Thanks in advance for your help.

A: Instructions for offline download here -

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends. Our annual Turkey Trot run with the family was a ball.
2. Require Colorado's electoral votes to be awarded on the basis of the popular vote. In two of the last five presidential elections, the candidate who won the popular vote lost the election. It's clear something needs to change so everyone's vote is truly counted.
3. Change the formula in TABOR to account for a growing state.
4. Allow school psychologists eligibility for National Board Certification stipend.
5. Clarify mental health hold procedures.
Last week, I spent time in New Hampshire at the 15th National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC) Annual Sportsman-Legislator Summit . This was my first time attending the summit and it won't be my last. It was a great opportunity to strategize with lawmakers, conservationists, and outfitters on legislation to introduce in 2019. Last session, I sponsored the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Future Generations Act , which was a huge win for sportsmen and women in our state.
This week, I'm touring the Lower Basin of the Colorado River to learn about the drought in the southwest. The tour started at Lake Mead and from there, myself and a group of western water leaders traveled to Lake Havasu. After that, we drove to the Imperial Valley, making a stop at the Salton Sea, then through the Coachella Valley. The tour ends south of Los Angeles, just outside Long Beach. This experience has provided me with a new look on how issues in the Lower Basin impact the Upper Basin and our state. One of my takeaways is tackling the over-allocation of the Colorado River must be multifaceted and collaborative.
You are all invited to the first Town Hall of the 2019 legislative session at Old Town Library on Saturday, January 12th from 10am-11:30m . The address is 201 Peterson St, Fort Collins, CO 80524. I will be taking questions. Please join!


I decided to re-create these hair bows. I remember having a similar hair bow when I was a young girl. I made a trial one to see how it would turn out. My 6 year old daughter fell in love with it. She wore the hair bow to school the next day. The response was crazy. We had all the office ladies checking it out and lots of little girlfriends wanting them. I am going to make a bunch for my daughter, to give as Christmas gifts to her friends and cousins. These could also make a great stocking stuffers. Each bow only takes about 5 minutes to complete. The vinyl, thread and ribbon is very inexpensive, I used leftover Halloween candy to fill the bows. I have included a video tutorial below .
