"You can come now but you'll have to take me as I am" said Beryl on the phone. What might Beryl have in store for me, I wondered? It turns out her biggest concern for our afternoon chat was beetroot stained hands. She comes from the same ilk that would dress fancy for a shopping trip in the city, appearances matter, hers not mine.
The stories go as far back as the wrinkles on her face, I know because I went to visit. She told me about her life and what's happening in this moment. Where she sits now, in her mission brown kitchen, has been witness to decades of comings and goings, meals and dishes. It was a perfect snapshot of past and present. I was enthralled in Beryl's life, full of experiences and a multi-generational family covering all ages, shared with a raw honesty of what it means to be an older woman living beyond their life partner and most of her friends.
Loneliness, as an adjective, doesn't really touch the sides. Beryl is a recipient of extraordinary kindness and she is grateful for the same. She has teenage grand-daughters that visit regularly and were the drivers of finding her some new canine company to relieve the isolation of living in a family home, on a big block, in the suburbs. Family can't be there all the time but Marlee, a German Shepherd rescue dog, from GSRV, is a constant. When her grandkids were little she would take them on road trips in her Ford Laser to see family in Beechworth, the tables have finally turned on the responsibility of care, it took 80 years.
Beryl has always owned dogs, routinely German Shepherds. She has a fondness for their nature and as breeding standards have improved over the years, so has their health and lifespan. Jenny, Shandy, Brandy and Ellie are Marlee's predecessors, the last one dying some 18 months ago.
Marlee is described by everyone as 'lovely' but Beryl believes she's a little fickle. Yes, they share a special relationship, but she prefers the builders over the back fence to her good and available self. Marlee is an outside dog because of her endlessly shedding hair and that might explain why she has such an affinity with the neighbours. Marlee is 11 and undemanding, her arthritis means long walks are not required, the grandkids throw a ball and give her a stretch, she offers a paw and some protection. It's a senior match.
There's no doubt that Marlee has filled a void for Beryl. Her lovely German Shepherd is not quite human company but there for the long haul and a best friend.
We believe in the power of stories to illuminate and educate. Through sharing our experiences of accomplishment, getting older and caring for those around us, we can help each other navigate the challenges we will all face at some stage in our lives.


Is there ex parte reexamination statistics narrowed to software patents only?
uspto.gov publish statistics quarterly, but the numbers are averaged from all industries and fields. I am trying to figure out whats chances a software patent had in 2011/2012 to go through a ex parte reexamination and come out with all its claims intact. Looking at reexamination certificates issued for 2011/09/30 -> 2012/09/30 as published by USPTO, I can see that about 12% of the certifications had all their claimed confirmed during that time frame, however, is that number the same for software patents specifically?
One big problem with such a question is that there is no such thing as "software patents". Software itself is not patentable, it is what the software does or is used to do -- the method -- that is patented. Software may be used to implement the whole invention (many data processing patents) or only one component of the invention (e.g. Diehr.) Many would not even consider Diehr to be a software patent, despite it being considered part of the "patent eligibility trilogy".
There are a number of categories and sub-categories ("art units") that patents are classified as, and you could try to carve out "software patents" based on some of the relevant categories, but that is still not going to be a very rough way of doing so. This is because art units are organized based on the field the invention relates to, rather than how the invention is implemented. Software simply happens to be how inventions could be implemented. As a very inaccurate example, a "security/authentication" art unit could encompass software methods such as the RSA algorithm as well as hardware solutions such as RSA tokens.
As an aside, one of the biggest shortcomings of many early research papers that try to analyze software patents (especially from authors such as Bessen, etc.) is that they are based on very inaccurate classification methods, such as PTO and EPO classifications. As such any conclusions are far from reliable.
So you can guess why the PTO won't even attempt to try to provide such statistics for "software patents": nobody, least of all the Supreme Court, seems to be able to concretely define what a non-abstract software patent is.
It's not that simple. The statistics only account for three situations.
At least one claim amended.
There are no statistics for at least one claim surviving,but in my experience it would be about 50%. Software claims don't get any special treatment.

Wanted: local vocal talent for Festival Hall re-opening
London SE1 website team
The Southbank Centre is looking for local residents to join its new Voicelab initiative to encourage the development of all kinds of vocal expression.
Voicelab – under the direction of Mary King from Channel 4's Musicality and Operatunity – will provide training and performance opportunities for all kinds of people from enthusiastic amateur to aspiring professional.
World-renowned bass-baritone Sir Willard White is Voicelab's patron.
"With a voice you have a unique musical instrument," says artistic director Jude Kelly.
"All over the world people sing for joy, in sorrow, protest and for fun. I want to provide an opportunity for would-be singers to explore repertoire other than classical and broaden their musical challenges at Southbank Centre."
Southbank Centre is looking for people of any background with a passion for any kind of singing – from classical to beatboxing – and a musical ear to come along to an Open Voice session on 24 and 25 February for a mass sing.
The first performance opportunities for Voicelab participants are the chance to train for and sing in the Royal Festival Hall's re-opening celebrations in June.
The re-opening will be celebrated with 48 hours of free music and singing, the Overture Weekend, when every part of the site will become a platform for music and performance. Choirs from all over the country will participate.
Mary King, Director of Voicelab said: "Voicelab presents a completely new world of opportunities for singers of all ages and musical interests to develop their musical and vocal potential, and to perform with the greatest artists of the world. We will nurture aspiring, emerging artists so that their talent can flourish, giving them opportunities that are normally not available to them."
Voicelab will comprise a number of vocal groups, each named after types of river movement in allusion to Southbank Centre's Thames-side location.
Surge will be a large choir of some 200 voices, trained by Voicelab, to take part regularly in Southbank Centre initiatives and performances. The first such opportunity is to perform during the Royal Festival Hall's re-opening weekend, on 8-10 June, including the chorus for Beethoven's Symphony No.9. A love of singing is essential and no choral experience is necessary.
For confident singers who want greater challenges, there will be the chance to audition for Swell, a chamber choir of 30-50 people. This choir will record an ambitious new work, War Oratorio, by Dominic Muldowney, which will form the backbone of a major new music film commissioned by Channel 4, and made by Oxford Film and Television. In June, Swell will be part of Royal Festival Hall's re-opening and in September will take part in a Southbank Centre performance of Paco Peña's Requiem for the Earth. This will also include a children's choir for which auditions will begin in the summer.
In September Voicelab will begin a year-long part-time course for 10-12 aspiring and talented singers, forming a core ensemble, Pulse. This will intersperse training modules with performance opportunities, providing an incredible resource of singers for Southbank Centre productions across all artforms. Course and audition information will be announced shortly.
In addition, Voicelab will train some of the 'youth ensemble' of Carmen Jones, a major feature of the re-opening of the Royal Festival Hall this summer. Directed by Jude Kelly, Carmen Jones will run from 25 July to 2 September and will continue the very successful producing collaboration between Southbank Centre and Raymond Gubbay.

TUI Travel PLC war ein europäischer Tourismuskonzern, gebildet aus der Touristiksparte der deutschen TUI AG und der britischen First Choice Holidays plc. Das ehemals an der Londoner Börse notierte Unternehmen war im FTSE 100 gelistet. Mitte Dezember 2014 fusionierte TUI Travel PLC als Tochtergesellschaft mit dem Mutterunternehmen TUI AG.

Geschichte
Die TUI AG kündigte am 19. März 2007 eine Fusion ihrer Touristiksparte mit der britischen First Choice Holidays an. Die Fusion zur TUI Travel PLC wurde am 29.

September 2007 erstmals an der London Stock Exchange gehandelt. TUI Travel wurde vollständig in den Konzernabschluss der TUI AG einbezogen. First Choice Holidays sollte ursprünglich komplett von der TUI AG übernommen werden, da aber das Kapital für eine Komplettübernahme nicht ausreichte, einigte sich die TUI AG mit den Eigentümern der First Choice Holidays auf die Gründung der TUI Travel PLC, an der die TUI AG einen Anteil von 54 Prozent und die Eigentümer von First Choice Holidays 46 Prozent gehalten haben.

Die neue TUI Travel wurde von First Choice Chef Peter Long als Chief Executive Officer (CEO) geleitet. TUI Chef Friedrich Joussen fungierte als Chairman bzw. Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender.

Learn more about the best merchant services with a list of rankings and average customer reviews. Includes frequently asked questions.
Merchant services are financial services that are intended for use by businesses. More specifically, merchant services allow businesses to accept payments from their customers via credit or debit cards through a secure payment gateway or terminal.
What is the price range for merchant services?
Typically, merchant services charge between 2% and 3% per transaction. Some services also charge a flat monthly fee.
Do I need to buy card processing hardware from my merchant service provider?
Most credit card processing merchant services sell card readers that are compatible with their proprietary payment gateway. Sometimes these card readers are included in your monthly fee, but in some cases, you have to purchase them outright.
What is the main advantage of merchant payment processing?
Without merchant card services, your business will be limited to cash transactions. Most people don't carry cash these days, so if you can't accept card payments you will never see an increase in your sales.
Do merchant account services come with customer support?
Yes. Usually, you are assigned a merchant service account representative once your business signs up for merchant card processing. There may also be a general customer support line for you to call if you are experiencing an issue with payments.
Online merchant services are credit card merchant services for businesses that operate online stores. With an online service, your business can accept credit card payments over the internet through a secure gateway.
Who offers the cheapest merchant credit card processing services?
National Processing has some of the lowest credit card merchant fees on the market. With a National Processing merchant card account, there is a starting monthly fee of just $9.95 and retail transactions are charged 0.20% + $0.10.

Actor. Born Alan Willis Jeffery (last name later changed to Thicke), he was best known for playing Jason Seaver, the dad on the 1980s ABC sitcom "Growing Pains". He attended Western Ontario University and got his start in show business, hosting game shows and guest hosting "The Alan Hamel Show" in the late 1970s in Canada. He was then hired by producer Norman Lear to produce and write for the program "Fernwood 2-Night". He would go on to having his own talk show both in Canada "The Alan Thicke Show" and in the United States "Thicke of the Night". He also had a successful career composing television show theme songs for such shows as "Diff'rent Strokes" and "The Facts of Life". In 1985 he debuted in the role of Jason Seaver on the series "Growing Pains" that would make him well known to all television viewers. The show lasted for seven years until 1992 and two television movies "The Growing Pains Movie" (2000) and "Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers" (2004) followed. He continued to make many television appearances after "Growing Pains", on various series and shows. He was inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2013. He passed away due to a ruptured aorta while playing ice hockey with his son Carter.

The salmon is the profound and enduring symbol of the Northwest that reminds us of the turning of the seasons. Every year, at about this time, the salmon forge upstream and flood our culture. It's easy to see why the salmon were at the heart of the Northwest natives' societies, bringing them health and wealth. I often wonder what a site it would have been to behold the Nehalem Bay choked and swirling with salmon like our ancestors saw it. No wonder the early settlers expected the salmon, like the old growth trees, to be here in abundance, forever. Unfortunately due to that attitude, here we are, with dwindling salmon runs and frustrated fisherman.
But I am most happy to report that this year has been a bumper year. The fishermen here in the Nehalem valley have been catching fish like the good old days. And seemingly I am married to one salmon has been on the table in abundance. We feel humbled and incredibly lucky to have such abundance. Oh and it is so good! I have been making every recipe for salmon that I've been meaning to make for years. It has been so fun. But there is one recipe that keeps coming up over and over. I think it is our new favorite. It is grilled cumin marinated salmon with blackberry sauce. Oh my, is it good.
Not surprisingly, that difference means a lot in the taste. Chefs around the country rate wild salmon far superior to farmed. A recent taste test scored farmed salmon at 4.83 out of 10, while wild salmon rated 9.7. By eating wild salmon, you are giving your body and mouth something great, getting omega 3s, (that which we all seek), saving the wild runs, helping keep the oceans clean and supporting our local fisherman. Now that's great! Remember, vote with your mouth, ask for wild salmon.
Okay I'm done preaching. Here is the recipe for you in all its glory. Enjoy the abundance from our beautiful oceans.
Mix up the marinade in a bowl and drop the steaks in there and roll around in the marinade. Set in the fridge to wait for its shining moment on the grill, about 20 minutes. Zest the lime and get a small sauce pan and a squeeze the lime juice, butter or oil into it. Set on a burner at medium heat and melt the butter/oil and add the honey chipotle powder, stir together then add the blackberries. Stir it up well and simmer over the medium heat for about 5 minutes till the blackberries have lost their form and you have a fine sauce. Add the salt and pepper. Let the sauce slightly cool then squish it through a sieve to remove the seeds. You can put it back in the sauce pan and keep it on low till the salmon is done.
Time to fire up the grill! Grill the salmon steaks on a lightly oiled rack, discarding the marinade. (Use medium high heat for gas grill and medium hot charcoal coals.) Cook about 5-6 minutes on each side till just opaque in the center. Don't overcook! Serve with sprigs of fresh rosemary and in a puddle of the sauce. Bon appetite!
That looks simply amazing. I have a huge filet of wild-caught Alaska coho Copper River salmon in my freezer. Not steaks, but I bet it'll work for this!
Wow, that looks simply delicious!! I think I'll be making this… soon!! Yum!


Just like the engine in your car, the water heater in your home can be thought of in the same respect. Moreover, just like having your vehicle inspected on a yearly basis, the unit that heats your water supply should be inspected just about the same, if not, even more frequently.
Sometimes, a homeowner may be a tad too late when it comes to saving their water heater. Unlike patching up a hole in a flat tire, if your unit is out of commission, you'll either need to have it repaired or replaced altogether. Before your water heater gets to that point in its life, there are a few signs to look out for. One of the most common? The lack of hot water in your home.
Think of it like this: if you placed a pot of water on the stove and your appliance doesn't turn on, then you'll have flat, cold water on your hands — and not an ounce of heat. When a water heater is on its way out of commission, the water heater will start to take much longer to produce hot water, eventually not providing any at all.
This is usually a result of the heating element blowing a fuse or the pilot light not being able to ignite. Another common sign of needing water heater maintenance? You hear an array of strange sounds throughout your home.
Unlike the horror film you may have had on the other night, a water heater that's in need of maintenance will make a medley of ~wild~ sounds that might make you think that your home is haunted. While your home may be entirely free of ghosts, those rumbling, clinking, banging noises coming from the water heater are something you should never ignore — because you could have a severe and expensive problem on your hands.
The reason behind the sounds, most of the time, is that there is tank build-up, which needs to be flushed — and when you schedule regular water heater maintenance, this is something that can be detected and completed early on.
Just like the HVAC temperature controlling device in your home, it's essential to make sure that the thermostat on your water heater is in pristine condition, too. Think of it like this: if you adjusted the HVAC thermostat in your home to make your living room warmer and after fifteen minutes it's still cold, you'll either need to replace the batteries or your overall thermostat to get it up and running again.
When it comes to a water heater thermostat, replacing a set of batteries isn't really what it entails (unlike a HVAC device) — but the task is rather simple to complete when you hire an experienced, licensed plumber for the job. If you happen to opt-in for water heater maintenance, then these potential problems could be avoided, but how so?
Just like scheduling a yearly health physical with your doctor, having regularly scheduled maintenance visits for your water heater are just as important, believe it or not. Wouldn't you feel much more at ease knowing that your unit is functioning correctly, rather than coming home from a long day at work, to find that there isn't a trace of hot water circulating throughout your plumbing? If you're looking to avoid this altogether, then having a water heater maintenance appointment with our team will prevent this from happening — but how so?
Whether your water heater is in top-of-the-line condition or you feel as if it has seen better days, our team will be able to evaluate your heater from top-to-bottom with ease. On the day of your appointment, one of our courteous, knowledgeable technicians will come to your home with all of the essentials tools and parts they'll need to make sure that not only is your unit running correctly, but to also be prepared to prevent any potential problems from happening if they run into any red flags.
Just like preventing a potential problem from arising with your water heater, if our technician happens to notice anything out of the ordinary that's currently diminishing your unit's performance (i.e., a leak at the base), they'll fix it right on the spot. Then once the repair is made, they'll give your unit another examination, to make sure that everything is in place and that all problems have been resolved.
Sometimes when a water heater is about to give out, it will work twice as hard to produce the hot water that your desire. Sure, your unit will still give the appearance that it's working just fine — but that will also increase your energy bills in the long run.
Think about it: when a machine has to exert more energy than what's needed, it will require more power to do so — which has the chance to raise your monthly utility bills tremendously. When your unit is maintained regularly, we'll make sure that it's running as smoothly as possible, which will save you money and decrease your overall bills.
On average, storage tank water heaters will last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, while tankless units can last up to 20 years. Since these units will wear down over time, that lifespan can decrease if your water heater isn't taken care of properly. However, opting for regular maintenance will help add about five years onto your unit's lifespan — which will help it live up to its investment value, making for a powerful water heater for the years to come.
Another benefit is that it will keep your water heater in the clear when it comes to any potential issues — such as leakage. Typically when a storage tank leaks at the base, the water will begin to form a puddle, which can travel if the water is ignored. Additionally, if the leaking persists, any dark area that comes in contact with the water will then have the chance of a mold formation. To prevent this, maintenance will take care of any leak, or potential leak, and will keep your unit in the clear.
If you're looking to keep your water heater in pristine condition, we can help. Whether it's a storage tank or tankless unit, our team will give it a thorough look and will make sure that potential problems are taken care of, while keeping it running as efficiently as possible!

While we talk about Enterprise Applications as a house of integrated suite or modules & processes, there still exist various applications viz., Supply chain management or Customer relationship management or Business intelligence or Vertical applications and more, that in reality work as information silos.
The lack of communication in terms of information exchange between these stand-alone applications lead to inefficiencies, where identical data are stored in multiple locations and thereby bring down the automation level, across the organization.
These stand-alone systems often reside on different operating systems or use different database software and might have been developed on old age technology & are not supported by vendor or have restrictions in terms of exchanging data to other systems.
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the process of linking 'stand-alone' or 'solo' applications within an organization to achieve a greater automation level and unrestricted sharing of data.
At 360PLUS, we understand the need to bring together the software environment at our customer places and collect the applications into a team, through our integration services. We harness the power of technology and strive to eliminate information solos at our customer places.

Positive youth development (PYD) refers to a focus on the developmental characteristics that lead to positive outcomes and behaviours among young people (Benson, 2003). The Five Cs Model of PYD (Lerner et al., 2005) is the most empirically supported measure of PYD (Heck & Subramaniam, 2009). However, concerns remain about the indicators used to operationalize the Five Cs PYD Model across adolescence, the manifestation of PYD across age and gender, and the generalizability of PYD measures outside of North America. Furthermore, the role of self-regulation, specifically intentional goal-directed behaviour, operationalised through the SOC model (Freund & Baltes, 2002), has been delineated as the primary mechanism through which PYD occurs (Lerner et al., 2001). However, a number of specific criticisms regarding the role of the SOC model in PYD have been identified, including; 1) relationships between SOC and positive and negative outcomes are weak; and 2) social and emotional aspects of self-regulation are omitted from the SOC model. The primary aims of this thesis were; (1) to assess the psychometric properties of the PYD measure in an Irish context; (2) develop a new measure of prosocial values; and (3) evaluate a new model of adolescent self-regulation and PYD. Using a dual-process model framework, the hypothesised model proposed that prosocial values, resistance to peer influence, emotion regulation, and future orientation are central to adolescent self-regulation and positive development. Analyses using confirmatory factor analyses, reliability analyses, tests of validity (e.g., convergent, known-groups, predictive over 12-months), and multigroup analyses were conducted on the Five Cs measure of PYD, which revealed good psychometric properties in an Irish adolescent sample (N = 672; Males = 387, Females = 284, gender not reported = 1). In addition, Structure Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to test the Adolescent Self-Regulation Model both cross-sectionally and longitudinally over 12-months. Prosocial values, autonomy from peers, and adaptive emotion regulation were identified as significant predictors of positive development. Limitations, theoretical and practical implications of this research, and directions for future research, are outlined.

Top 10 Bat Facts
There 1,100 species of bats worldwide, with 40 species in the United States alone. Though small in physical size, bats have a large footprint, making up one-quarter of the world's mammals.
Scroll through the images below to learn more about these fascinating creatures.

Big-eared bat More than half of the bat species in the United States are in severe decline or listed as endangered. In addition to loss of habitat, one of the most dire threat comes from white nose syndrome, a disease that has decimated bats in the U.S. and Canada. The Nature Conservancy collaborated in a recent breakthrough. Bats were treated with a common bacterium that seems to stop the growth of the white nose fungus, and were then successfully released back into the wild. © Kent Mason

Bracken Cave Bats Bat droppings, called guano, are one of the richest fertilizers. Bat guano was once a big business. Guano was Texas's largest mineral export before oil! Austin is a seasonal home to North America's largest urban population of Mexican free-tailed bats, which live beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge. Approximately 1.5 million bats reside there! Elsewhere in Texas, the Conservancy and partners have protected the largest colony of Mexican free-tailed bats in the world from a proposed housing development. © Karine Aigner
Flying Foxes The world's largest bat is the "flying fox" that lives on islands in the South Pacific. It has a wingspan of up to 6 feet. The world's smallest bat is the bumble bee bat of Thailand, which is smaller than a thumbnail and weighs less than a penny. © John Skewes/Flickr Creative Commons

Jayson Molumby: The under 21 captain who must be promoted to the senior Ireland team
by Robert Redmond
He is a potential future Ireland captain.
Watching Ireland's Under-21 team on Friday night, it was difficult not to wish that the whole team could now be imported to the senior side. That we could speed up the most precarious period of these young players' careers and fast forward to when they are established stars in top teams. We can't, but Jayson Molumby is ready to play for the senior team.
There were about three minutes left in the game and the ball bounced loose towards the touchline near the half-way line. Zack Elbouzedi, who had come on as a substitute, was 10-yards from the ball and was about to run but stopped when he realised he wouldn't get there in time. Jayson Molumby shot him a look that would stop most players in their tracks.
The Republic of Ireland Under-21 captain then grabbed his jersey in frustration, making a wincing, pained expression – over a ball going out of play and a teammate who had not made a run that would have proven futile. But Molumby plays like every run, pass and tackle matters, even those that aren't made. This was evident throughout Ireland Under-21s' win over Armenia at Tallaght Stadium. In arguably the most talented Under-21 team to play for Ireland, featuring players from Liverpool, Celtic, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, it was the Brighton midfielder, currently on loan at Millwall, that impressed the most.
The 20-year-old, Waterford-native was named man of the match – despite the explosive brilliance of Aaron Connolly and Troy Parrott winning the game with a debut goal. Molumby was not only the man of the match, but he was also the man in the match. An adult playing alongside some talented, but green, teammates. The central midfielder dominated proceedings with his personality as much as his excellent ability on the ball and reading of the game. He should be in the Ireland senior squad now. If all goes to plan, he will end up captaining Ireland. He's that good.
Armenia started the game in control. In the opening spell, when Stephen Kenny's side lost the ball, they would find it hard to get it back. The visitors were talented and tidy in possession. After around 10 minutes of play, when the home side eventually had the ball under control, the Ireland number eight could be heard over the crowd of three and a half thousand shouting at his players, "quicker, quicker." Every time a teammate was in possession, Molumby would always make himself available for a pass, shouting, demanding the ball.
In one sequence during the first half, he collected the ball in the middle of the pitch, turned and sprayed it out to right-back Lee O'Connor on the opposite side of the pitch. Molumby sprinted across the pitch and demanded it back, opened his body, collected the pass with his left foot and drove forward with the ball towards the Armenia penalty area. With an opposition player blocking his path, it looked as though Molumby would have to relinquish possession. Instead, he chopped down on the ball with his heel, opening up space that didn't seem there just seconds earlier.
The Ireland captain passed the ball out to the jet-heeled Connolly on the left. The Brighton forward was about to take on the right-back but showed him mercy for once by passing back inside rather than blitzing him. Molumby got the ball on the edge of the box and wound up to shoot, but sold his opponent a dummy before returning the ball back on his stronger right foot. His shot to the bottom right-hand corner was saved by the Armenia goalkeeper and rolled out wide. Gavin Kilkenny, on the right side of midfield, collected the ball before the visitors reclaimed possession and an Armenia defender began carrying the ball up the pitch.
Molumby sprinted 20-yards across the pitch and levelled him with a hard, but seemingly fair, challenge on the edge of the penalty area, drawing gasps and claps from the crowd in Tallaght, which turned to groans when the Maltese referee awarded a foul and the Armenia player was treated for an injury, before eventually playing on. Molumby stood with his head in his hands, baffled as to why a free-kick was given. This all occurred in the space of around 30 seconds in which he showed the full range of his attributes – his excellent range of passing, spacial awareness, intelligence, power, aggression, skill and confidence.
Already in his career, Molumby has spent 15-months on the sidelines with knee injuries. He returned from those setbacks and made the bench for Brighton's final game of last season. A quad injury has restricted his playing time on loan at Millwall, but he has played two games in the EFL Cup and 15 minutes in the Championship. Molumby is also highly-rated by his parent and loan clubs – signing a new contract with Brighton and being singled out for praise by Millwall's manager, Neil Harris. He was named among the players of the competition for the Toulon Tournament back in June and has captained Ireland at Under-17 and Under-19 levels.
On Friday night at Tallaght Stadium, he stamped his authority on the game and was unquestionably the most influential player on the pitch. The midfielder from Cappoquin could also be the long-term answer to a problem position for the Irish senior team. At the very least, he should be part of the squad for Ireland's remaining Euro 2020 qualification games. Molumby is a throwback, a vocal leader to takes responsibility and demands the best from his teammates.
Ireland's midfield is arguably the weakest aspect of an average international team. On Thursday night at the Aviva Stadium, Glenn Whelan was the best of Ireland's midfield. But the 35-year-old, along with Jeff Hendrick and Conor Hourihane, was overrun by Switzerland. The same happened against Denmark in June and will happen again next month against the Swiss in Geneva, and in November when Denmark come to Dublin. There is no obvious solution – even if a fully fit James McCarthy would make a difference.
The lack of quality in the senior set-up becomes even more frustrating when watching Kenny's Under-21 team. They play positive, proactive football, passing from the back and pressing from the front, but they sacrifice none of the aggression and hard work that have characterised Irish teams. If only we could find a way to get these young players into the senior side and allow this new vision of an Irish team to develop – something that will hopefully when Kenny becomes senior coach next August.
In the meantime, Mick McCarthy will argue that players such as Parrott and Connolly are still too raw to be thrown into a qualification campaign and there is merit in that argument. However, no-one could say the same about Molumby. The midfielder has the ability and personality, all he needs now is the chance to showcase it at senior level.

"One of them had a clay pig, small enough to fit into his pocket; it whistled one dry, low note when blown on the snout. The other knew the names of stones but he was the hardest to understand. Someone's youngest brother he called "the Least One." If he doubted a story, he said, "I don't confidence you." Windows he called "lights" and their hiding place in an oak bole he spoke of as the "plunder room." Where the creek fanned out into a hundred rivulets, this child said, "That's where it turkey-tailed," and if a grown-up showed him special attention he'd ask later, "Why did he much me?" Both of Gabriel's companions spoke in doubled nouns ("biscuit-bread," "ham-meat," sulfur-match"). Nor did they grasp what Gabriel meant when he said once, "Have a nice weekend." After a while it turned out their families worked every day and the notion of a weekend was beyond their means.
"Er wußte, daß jemand anderer sich nun sehr erregt hätte – aber so etwas lag ihm nicht, er war nicht begabt darin. Er drückte die Auflegetaste.
Sekunden später läutete es wieder. «Ralf?» fragte ein Mann.
Ebling legte auf und steckte das Telefon in die Jackentasche.
Die S-Bahn war wieder überfüllt, auch heute mußte er stehen. Von der einen Seite preßte sich eine fette Frau an ihn, von der anderen starrte ein schnurrbärtiger Mann ihn an wie einen verschworenen Feind. Es gab viel, das Ebling an seinem Leben nicht mochte. Es störte ihn, daß seine Frau so geistesabwesend war, daß sie so dumme Bücher las und daß sie so erbärmlich schlecht kochte. Es störte ihn, daß er keinen intelligenten Sohn hat te und daß seine Tochter ihm so fremd vorkam. Es störte ihn, daß er durch die zu dünnen Wände immer den Nachbarn schnarchen hörte. Besonders aber störten ihn die Bahnfahrten zur Stoßzeit. Immer so eng, immer voll, und gut gerochen hatte es noch nie.
Seine Arbeit aber mochte er. Er und Dutzende Kollegen saßen unter sehr hellen Lampen und untersuchten defekte Computer, die von Händlern aus dem ganzen Land eingeschickt wurden. Er wußte, wie fragil die kleinen denkenden Scheibchen waren, wie kompliziert und rätselhaft".
"We would arrive Tuesday night from prep school or college, or on Wednesday night from New York, where we were working at a bank while writing a play, or from Vermont, where we were building a log cabin with our roommate from Middlebury before heading up to Stowe at first snow for a season of ski bumming. Dad would take the latter part of the week off, until he retired, which was when things really became dangerous. The riotous foliage that briefly enflamed the chaste New England hills was long gone, leaving the monochromatic landscape of winter: the gray stone walls of the early settlers, the silver trunks of the maples, the white columns of birch.
"It's fitting that Christmas should degenerate to this, its barest bones. The family has begun to seem to Therese like a pack of thespians anyway; everyone arrives, performs for one another, catches early flights out, to Logan or O'Hare. Probably it's appropriate that a party game should literally appear and insert itself in the guise of a holiday tradition (which it isn't). Usually, no one in Therese's family expresses much genuine feeling anyway; everyone aims instead–though gamely!–for enactments.
op de bus, die ene, ene bus.
ene bus. En het begon te regenen.
Wherefore thy burden and thy toil, O Sun?
Not pass thee, or the suns of Algebar?
And hopest thou to close with Procyon?
Uncompassed and oblivious, whence they came.
"Oh, come ye forth the budding woods and fields among.
Out where the day is fair and the joyous breezes blow.

Earlier this week when I was leading an aikido class, I started to feel pain on my elbow without any apparent cause. The pain continued and when I started thinking what could cause it, I remembered that during the previous day one shihonage had felt uncomfortable and I think that just manifested the day after. The injury occurred when I had been in the front of the class, being the punching bag for shihonage. I kept taking high ukemis instead of ushiro ukemis because the class lead had a confidant throw and I suppose I wanted to show off a bit too. Silly when you think about it, taking high ukemis when you don't have to, but it feels good to slam on the tatami and it does release the lock on your elbow immediately.
The actual injury came about later on when I asked the class lead about something his taisabaki during the initial entry, and he showed to me. I think I was concentrating on the answer too much, as when he threw me again, I didn't take a high fall, but rather an ushiro ukemi but had my had in the same position as in high falls. That is, a tad too far from my shoulder. That allowed the nage to execute the throw, but because of the distance my body didn't have enough time react. The twist on my elbow was not at all bad, it just felt a bit uncomfortable and didn't notice it at all until the next day when. The exact pain point is in the medial head of the triceps brachii, or at least that's what I think. I don't remember pulling a muscle like this before in shihonage, but I'm quite sure I have as this feels like something that would happen every once in a while. A harmless pull that you forget the next day.
During my 10 year aikido study, I've sustained two injuries that have forced for me to take a 4-6 month break, both to my knees. The first time, about the time when I had 3rd kyu, I tore my meniscus on the outside of my right knee. The details have started to escape me, but I think I tried to take a high fall from a kotegaeshi and got up with the momentum of the throw with my sideways. So it was actually the getting up that tore it, not the landing. The knee had to be operated on and I had to recover for half a year. However, now the knee is totally symptomless so it was a break worth taking.
The second time I had to take a break as just a severe pull on the tendons on the outside of my left knee. I healed on its own, but it did take some time to be pain free. That one was a shihonage with a high fall. I didn't expect it at all and I did the worst thing you can do during an aerial exercise: I stiffened my body. That caused me to land with my foot touching the tatami first, not my side with the free hand making the initial contact. I don't know if that mistake taught me anything directly, but it at least gave me first hand knowledge that when taking high falls you need to make like a wet dishcloth. Because you don't always know in advance that nage is going to throw you high, I think the skill is in being able to switch from a steel spring (attack) to a wet rag (receive) without thinking. Is that then a part of trying to attain mushin no shin?

Apple opened pre-orders for its more expensive iPhone models shortly after they were announced, leaving the more affordable iPhone XR out of the lineup. Now, you can finally pre-order an iPhone XR if you can't stomach paying a grand for a phone or if you prefer its more colorful options. The device will set you back at least $37.41 per month with the iPhone Upgrade Program, or $749 if you're paying in full, for the 64GB version.
The 128GB version will cost you $50 more, while the 256GB one will set you back $900. Prices could vary a bit depending on which carrier you choose -- it's available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon -- though you could also buy one unlocked and just activate it later. The phone will ship starting on October 26th. If you still haven't decided whether to get an iPhone XS an XS Max or an XR, make sure to check out our comparison post that shows how the three options differ from each other.

Dowód rejestracyjny pojazdu – dokument przewidziany przez ustawę z dnia 20 czerwca 1997 r. Prawo o ruchu drogowym wydawany przez odpowiedni organ administracji publicznej właścicielowi pojazdu samochodowego, ciągnika rolniczego, pojazdu wolnobieżnego wchodzącego w skład kolejki turystycznej, motoroweru lub przyczepy podczas rejestracji. Obowiązek jego posiadania obejmuje właściciela pojazdu, jak i osobę prowadzącą pojazd (kierowcę) za zgodą właściciela.

Od 1 października 2004 r. wydawany jest nowy dowód rejestracyjny, wprowadzony rozporządzeniem Ministra Infrastruktury z 4 maja 2004 r. zmieniającym rozporządzenie w sprawie rejestracji i oznaczania pojazdów. Dowód rejestracyjny odpowiada wymogom znowelizowanej dyrektywy Rady UE 1999/37/WE z 29 kwietnia 1999 roku w sprawie dokumentów rejestracyjnych pojazdów.

Dowód rejestracyjny jest dokumentem w formie trzyskrzydełkowego dokumentu papierowego, w układzie poziomym. Kolorystyka tła dokumentu utrzymana jest w tonacji błękitno-żółtej. Awers dokumentu laminowany jest folią transparentną, służącą do zabezpieczenia spersonalizowanego dowodu rejestracyjnego przed uszkodzeniami. Wymiary dowodu rejestracyjnego w układzie poziomym to 105 mm x 218 mm (±0,7 mm), natomiast po złożeniu 73 mm x 105 mm. Dowody rejestracyjne produkuje oraz personalizuje Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych.

W Polsce do 30 września 2018 roku nałożony był prawny obowiązek posiadania przez kierowcę podczas jazdy dowodu rejestracyjnego pojazdu. 1 października 2018 roku obowiązek ten został zniesiony. Kierowca nie musi mieć przy sobie dowodu rejestracyjnego podczas kontroli. Zmiany te dotyczą również posiadania potwierdzenia zawarcia umowy ubezpieczenia OC.

Przy rejestracji pojazdu zwykle wydawane są nowe tablice rejestracyjne wraz z nalepką legalizacyjną. Jest to samoprzylepna etykieta holograficzna, posiadająca wiele zabezpieczeń przed próbami fałszowania. Odklejenie od podłoża powoduje rozwarstwienie, uniemożliwiające jej ponowne wykorzystanie. Nalepka składa się z trzech części (A, B i C). Części A i B znaku naklejane są na stałych tablicach rejestracyjnych. Część C wklejana jest do dowodu rejestracyjnego. Na nalepce jest kod składający się z liter NL/, następnie trzech liter i siedmiu cyfr.

Pola dowodu rejestracyjnego

Dowód zawiera pola do personalizacji. Część z pól nie jest opisana, a jedynie oznaczona kodem literowo-cyfrowym:
 ORGAN WYDAJĄCY — nazwa i adres

 dane organu nadającego uprawnienia diagnosty wykonującego badanie techniczne

Dowód rejestracyjny pojazdu zawiera kwadratowe pole z dwuwymiarowym kodem (Aztec Code). Oznakowanie to służy do automatycznego bezbłędnego wprowadzania danych z dokumentów do systemów informatycznych zakładów ubezpieczeń. Kod Aztec zawiera dane tekstowe w kodowaniu UCS2-LE skompresowane algorytmem NRV2E (wariant 8-bit, z dodaniem 4 pierwszych bajtów do wyniku, określających długość rozkompresowanego pliku) i zapisane w kodowaniu Base64.

W dokumencie jest także podzielony na 3 linie po 38 znaków zapis podstawowych danych z dowodu: litery DRPOL, 4-cyfrowy kod terytorialny wystawcy, seria i numer dowodu, numer PESEL lub REGON właściciela, numeru VIN pojazdu, numeru rejestracyjnego i kod ITS (z katalogu Instytutu Transportu Samochodowego). Każda linia zakończona jest cyfrą kontrolną obliczoną według normy ICAO nr 9303.

Dowody rejestracyjne nowego wzoru wydawane były od 1 października 2004 r. W ciągu pierwszych pięciu lat wydano ich ok. 22,3 mln. Trzeciego marca 2016 roku, niecałe dwanaście lat po wprowadzeniu nowego wzoru dowodu rejestracyjnego PWPW wyprodukowała pięćdziesięciomilionowy egzemplarz dowodu rejestracyjnego.

Na dowodzie rejestracyjnym nadrukowana jest seria i siedmiocyfrowy numer bez cyfry kontrolnej:

The Eastern Monarch Butterfly Mexico Winter Count for 2015 was just released.
Numbers are up slightly year over year but much progress is needed to improve upon this mild success. The great news is that the population seems to not have gotten smaller. Mild weather and Spring rains could make for a great year for the monarchs in 2015.
The Western Monarch Butterfly California Count for 2015 was Released This Month.
The Western monarch butterfly population has been stable at a mower number for over a decade. A modest increase over last years count is promising. Much more can be done to help them in 2015. Getting an education about native milkweed for your area is a good start. Monarchs will benefit from having milkweed plants on their migration route thru your yard this summer.
Monarch butterflies love nectar. Nectar plants provide energy for adult butterflies. As you may know butterflies are amazing because they go thru metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a stage in the life of a butterfly that changes a walking caterpillar into a flying butterfly. Adult monarchs need a food source for their caterpillars so that their caterpillars can become butterflies and the migration may continue.
To find one of the numerous varieties of native milkweed near you you may visit the Clickable Milkweed Map of the USA. Native milkweed (Asclepias) comes in many varieties. It is well adjusted for you climate and will grow back year after year.

Greenwich Catholic School Science Students Excel at Inventing
By: greenwichfreepress | June 22, 2017
At Greenwich Catholic School, science teacher Carol Ann Lutz explained that every year, 7th grade students do a life science project and 8th graders to a physical science project.
The process begins with brainstorming.
"The projects that mean the most to us, and do the best at state level, have a real-world connection and are the ones the kids are the most passionate about," Mrs. Lutz said. "We talk about the challenges that engineers feel that we as a population will face in the next ten years – including pollution and energy."
Mrs. Lutz said some students go so far as to find mentors. Toward that end, 7th grader Monica Marino connected with Dr. Ahman and Dr. Zadik on a toothpaste project. She said the idea for her project began with an edict from her mother, who is an alternative health professional.
"My mom would not let me use toothpaste," said Monica said whose project, Bite Bright Natural Toothpaste, was the result of her attempt to create a toothpaste that does no damage to teeth.
Monica's mentors, both professional dentists, supplied her with wisdom teeth to use for experiments.
"After several tests, I found that fluoride damaged the enamel on the teeth," Monica said. "I submerged the teeth in Coca-Cola to get the feel of the dirtiness." In her tests, she also submerged the teeth in water, Coca Cola, Gatorade and coffee.

"This is the one submerged in Coca-Cola and it got very stained," Monica said, holding up a badly damaged tooth. "I put the fluoride on top. Fluoride accelerated the decay and damaged the enamel greatly," Monica said, adding that she then looked for natural alternatives, in flavors which included raspberry and grapefruit. "It cleaned the teeth ad protected them."
Monica explained that Xylitol and Erythritol are alternatives to fluoride. "They are natural sweeteners that come from the fermentation of vegetables and fruits, especially bananas and grapes," she said. "They actually clean your teeth."
Monica said her toothpastes not only clean teeth, but are safe to ingest.
"They are beneficial because they're anti-inflammatory. They're good for your gums and internal organs, and are antibacterial," said Monica who loves inventing but does not want to be either a dentist or inventor. "I might want to be a veterinarian," she said.
Monica, who competed in the Connecticut Invention Convention and became a VIP member for Science and Engineering, was interviewed by a number of judges and guests when she entered her fluoride-free toothpaste. She was also selected to compete with 300 other inventors at the National Invention Convention June 1-3 in Washington, D.C.
Patrick McHugh's science project incorporated magnets designed to efficiently levitate a wind turbine.
"I used magnetic levitation to take away friction of a wind turbine," Patrick said, adding that his model was made to scale. "If I made a real one, it wouldn't fit in the gym."
Patrick's wind turbine was fashioned out of a soda bottle with fins attached.
"I based it off a filter in a hot tub because both have the job of collecting light matter," Patrick explained. "I applied the idea in a different context."
Patrick said the fins are at all different levels intentionally. "If it is hotter outside, the fins will collect the air up higher than when it is colder," he said. "When it is colder it collects air that is closer to the ground."
Patrick won first place in the 7th Grade Physical Science Division of the CT State Science and Engineering Fair on March 19. His project was called, "Mass Maglev Manufacturing."
Patrick was also a finalist in the Energize CT/eesmarts Alternative/Renewable Energy Awards. He was invited to compete at the Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering Rising Stars), a highly prestigious national competition.
In 2015, Maura McHugh, Patrick McHugh's older sister, received third place for her invention of a rubberized, removable slip for pointe shoes. Now a sophomore at Lauralton Hall in Milford, Patrick's sister is working on patenting her invention.
Giacomo Lowenstein, also in 7th grade, created a grow station that allows for plants to be nurtured in a small space for a low price.
"You could do this anywhere," Giacomo said. The reflective material brings the light to the plant on both the top and side. "It's light weight and has wheels so it is easily moved," he said. "For winter you can grow plants you couldn't outside."
"We can control the fertilization and the watering because it's small," said Mrs. Lutz. "At first we put in cucumbers, cabbage, and turnips because they grow the fastest. They take just 7-13 days to generate," Mrs. Lutz said. "The original cucumbers were too big."
Giacomo explained that the plant size reflects the size of its pot.
The students also grew peas in the grow station, which Giacomo explained is adjustable. "If the peas get too tall, you adjust the bottom downward," he said.
"These kids are capable of a lot more than you might imagine," Mrs. Lutz said.

Delhi molestation: India not ready for sex offenders registry, says child rights lawyer
India Rashme Sehgal Jan 19, 2017 12:25:16 IST
Independent advocate Anant Asthana specialises in child rights and has over the years represented juveniles in a large number of cases. He works closely with the Juvenile Justice Board and is closely associated with the reformation and mainstreaming of juveniles for several years. He travels around the country to orient and trains the police, NGOs, lawyers and judicial officers on the Juvenile Justice Act and other laws concerning children. He is also closely associated with the drafting of laws and policies dealing with children.
Speaking exclusively to Firstpost, Asthana talks about why the country needs special police trained to handle crimes against cases, whether or not India is ready for a sex offenders' registry and how the police figures on the Delhi tailor accused of sexually molesting kids might be exaggerated.
Excerpts from the interview:
The case of a Delhi tailor having allegedly sexually abused 500 kids has horrified the conscience of the nation. Are there any lessons to learn from this case?
A. He may be a sexual offender but where is this information coming from? It is a regular police practice to exaggerate the number of cases in the case of an accused. The fact is that neither the courts nor the police kept any watch on him although he had been arrested and jailed earlier. This is a learning for us. Take the case of the Drug and Narcotic Psychotropic Act (DNPA) where a person is punished if he is addicted to taking drugs. But the second part of the law emphasises that we must try and create a situation wherein he receives proper treatment so that he kicks the drug-taking habit. This aspect has not received due emphasis. If he is a regular sex offender, he is suffering from a mental illness. The police claim that he (the tailor) had been caught in Rudrapur in Uttarakhand and even jailed for six months. The question is why was he not kept under surveillance?
Anant Kumar Asthana
Indeed, that seems to have been a major omission on the part of our police force?
My experience in all these years that I have fought cases in our law courts on behalf of juvenile delinquents is that we remained extremely poor in creating any kind of thorough surveillance systems. There is no follow up from within the system to find out where such an individual is operating and to keep a tag on him.
But at the same time, I do not support the proposal to create a sex offenders registry (SOR) that will supposedly keep track of sexual offenders. We do not need an SOR. My involvement with boys who commit juvenile crimes (or even older men) is that those who commit crimes are known by the system.
Those who are proponents of the SOR believe that the names of sex offenders and paedophiles, etc, should be put on such a portal. Then, I as a citizen can check such a portal and find out who is a sex offender and take proper precaution. The aim of this exercise is that those who have shown such tendencies should be monitored.
But there are many grey areas in this proposal. We have cases where an individual can be a one-time offender and have no other cases registered against him. The authorities need to come up with an appropriate plan to keep him under vigil without putting his name on the SOR.
Having a name on the SOR will mean that if an individual applies for a job, or accommodation or wants to start a bank account, it will be mandatory for him to get police verification. But then there are those who believe this will act as a deterrent and will help bring down cases of sexual abuse, especially against kids.
I have a contrary point of view. I believe the existing system of record keeping within the police force must be strengthened. Our record keeping which must be strongly linked to our crime preventive strategies.
Let me cite you one example. In 2012-13, a number of school kids in Delhi were found to have been sexually abused, and the driver of the school van was caught abusing these children. Based on this incident, a PIL was filed in the Delhi High Court by the HAQ Centre for Child Rights. In response to this PIL, the Delhi Commission for the protection of Child Right prepared fresh guidelines for the prevention of sexual abuse of children which was then notified by the Delhi government.
Once again the emphasis was shifted from the firm implementation of the law to the creation of fresh guidelines which have not been heard of since. A record of criminal offences already exists in the police but this system does not have adequate linkages with the court and other implementation bodies.
We keep coming up with new schemes but the schemes that already exist are not being adequately implemented. Implementation is a governance issue and it is this which needs to be addressed.
Everyone is over- burdened. Our failure to act effectively has proved a major hindrance in our efficient prevention of criminal action including crimes against children. Preventive action is the key to the curtailment of crime. But, police officers don't earn credits from preventive programmes. So, if I have spent the last five years in preventing crime, I have nothing tangible to show to my bosses.
The government machinery and especially police force insist that they are already over-burdened. How does that affect prevention of crimes against children?
Everyone is over- burdened. Our failure to act effectively has proved a major hindrance in our efficient prevention of criminal action including crimes against children. Preventive action is the key to the curtailment of crime. But, police officers don't earn credits from preventive programmes. So, if I have spent the last five years in preventing crime, I have nothing tangible to show to my bosses. Prevention is difficult to measure. If on the contrary, I end up arresting five sex offenders, I can take a lot of credit for my action.
My own experience shows that crimes, whether sexual or otherwise, are being regularly reported in the courts but little has been done to improve governance on this issue.
Based on my individual experience I have been demanding that the government appoint police officers in police stations who will deal exclusively with children issues. These police officers will handle offences committed against children, by children and also deal extensively with members of the community.
Such an exclusive police officer will make focused and committed interventions in child-related issues and will obviously develop an expertise on children issues.
Today, we have police officers who are experts on cybercrime, experts on antiterrorism investigation, experts on drug investigation and so on. But we do not have police officers who can focus exclusively on crimes committed against children. We need to come up with a whole range of preventive schemes which will be implemented effectively. This is the need of the hour.
The situation in our other states is almost the same as it is in the capital region. I do not believe there is much difference. We have to stop this present practice of reacting to an individual incident, but rather come up with a wide range of preventive strategies that have been thought out in advance.
But the crimes are becoming more and more brutal. Sex crimes are also on the rise. What do you think of that?
When the 2012 Delhi rape case happened, the government set up a multi-crore fund in which it would create a mid-level female cadre comprising of at least three sub-inspector rank women police officials to investigate women-related crimes. But this has not been implemented till date.
We need to accept that there is a sharp increase in crimes against children. But these need to be investigated properly. Some years ago, a 15-year-old boy was brought before the court. The police accused him of having stolen 24 gas cylinders and on one occasion the cops were claiming he had gone on foot and stolen six gas cylinders from a hotel. The judge asked the cops as to how could he possibly have stolen six gas cylinders at one go and that too on foot. He told the judge that he had been caught stealing one cylinder some years ago, after which every time a theft of a cylinder occurred, the cops would put the blame on him.
But in the case of the tailor, he has been accused of committing over 2,500 sexual assaults and molesting 500 children. What does that say about the case?
The only person saying this is the police. Did they do any kind of investigation to arrive at these conclusions? There are many cases where poor people do not receive legal aid. They end up getting convicted by a lower court but if they manage to receive a hearing in the higher judiciary, the earlier judgement gets repealed.
The issue of SOR is a highly controversial proposition. In countries where it is being implemented such as Sweden and Norway, there are several mandatory provisions on how the community has to keep a watch over these individuals so that they do not end up being branded in any way. But if we go in for sweeping laws, this will have its own repercussions.
What will happen if an individual has not committed a sex crime but gets his name on the SOR list?
If his name gets on the list the man is doomed.

Only two days to go until Easter Sunday and chocolate is already being passed around here at Savoo (clearly none of us have any self-control!) If you are getting ready for a weekend of Easter egg gorging, then here are five recipes to get your taste buds tingling- all made with the glorious creation that is Cadbury's Creme Eggs.
These creme egg brownies were bought into the office a week ago and lasted approximately five minutes before they were scoffed by the Savoo staff. Dangerously moreish and rich enough to set your productivity levels back by an entire afternoon, they should come with a health risk- don't say we didn't warn you! Thanks to Woman's Own for the recipe.
If you thought the creme egg brownies were indulgent, wait until you get a load of this creme egg milkshake. Courtesy of chocolatemoosey.com, the recipe makes one tall milkshake or two small milkshakes. But filled with enough sugar, ice cream and cream to possibly exceed your daily calorie intake, it is not for the fainted hearted. Note: UK readers, replace corn syrup with golden syrup.
Dubbed the 'world's most calorific cocktail' by msn.co.uk, the creme egg mojito is the brainchild of Jack Williams, a mixologist for bar owners Late Night London. Designed specifically for the Jewel Bar in Piccadilly Circus, we have managed to get our hands on the recipe for you to try at home if you can't make it into London for a professionally prepared one.
If you don't have the time or inclination to spend hours in the kitchen but don't want to miss out on creme egg goodness, try this recipe from bunisinmyoven.com. Completely fool proof, it doesn't even require you to do any measuring or mixing; just pop in the oven and away you go.
Technically this fudge doesn't actually contain any Cadbury eggs at all, but it looks and tastes so convincing you would be forgiven for mistaking it for the real thing. Replace corn syrup with golden syrup if you cannot find it in the shops, and you are ready to go! To get perfectly regular pieces, cut the chocolate into bite size pieces before they completely harden in the fridge. Thanks to shugarysweets.com for the recipe.

To cover the 138.77 miles I walked from Bath to Penkridge I needed 9 Explorer maps.
One thing to note on this stage was the fact that I took a diversion into Wolverhampton. This would have needed the use of OS Explorer Map 219 but as I wasn't originally intending on making that diversion I didn't have that map with me. I did however use my GPS to sort out the route, which made me glad I'd decided on taking it as a back up.
Here are the details of the maps required to follow the route I took through stage 2 of my walk.
