Q: TransactionRequiredException: Executing an update/delete query -- on jpql update query I get a TransactionRequiredException when trying to run update query using jpql but if I do an update using spring data provided save() method, it works fine.
My Test method:
service.save(object); --- This Update works- calls spring data save()
service.updateTable1gBycolumnpk(object);-- This update throws exception

My service method:
    @Transactional
    public int updateTable1gBycolumnpk(Table1Object object){
        return repo.updateTable1gBycolumnpk(object.getcolumnpk(), object.getname());
    }

My Repository method:
    @Modifying(clearAutomatically = true)
    @Query("UPDATE Table1 a SET a.columnpk = :columnpk WHERE a.name = :name")
    public int updateTable1gBycolumnpk(@Param("columnpk") String columnpk, @Param("name") long name);

If you care about the lives of your employees it is important to consider group long term care insurance. Many individuals and employers mistakenly think of LTC as a coverage type that protects only the elderly. In actuality, group LTC insurance will cover any person that is unable to operate and perform everyday tasks and assistance is needed.
If one of your employees, young or old, suffers an accident, becomes unexpectedly ill, or has a cognitive issue that leaves him/her disabled, LTC insurance will assist them in their recovery and/or their day to day lives.

Well, I guess it is that time of year again. Time for the beer and hot dogs and the man to yell "Play Ball". Sunday will mark opening night as they are now calling it, and I will be wearing my Bleacher Creature t-shirt (shout out to Bald Vinny – check his tee's out – BaldVinny.com) and likely yelling at my TV.
Since today felt like spring and I could almost taste the bud light and hot dogs, I decided what better day to go out at lunch and buy some new wax. I ended up picking up some 2010 Topps as well as a few packs of 2010 Upper Deck (ya, unlicensed we know). Nothing really fascinating to report there, but did score a few cool cards I guess. Just doesn't do it for me anymore, growing up a kid of the 90s with junk wax I guess busting some over-commercialized "junk 90s wax" still does it for me.
I also got a 2010 Upper Deck Pure Heat Albert Pujols (PH-2), can't find a picture of it online so maybe I will have to scan my own. It is a pretty cool die-cut card.
Amazing that tossing $25 down can still afford to provide this much fun, suspense and surprise still at this age.
Got home today from being out of town for a few days and had that mysterious envelope in the mailbox. Always a treat to get a nice successful TTM return. I mark my address for both the send to and return address on the SASE I sent out so if it gets lost it will always (hopefully) come back to me anyway, as there is no sense in sending the player back his own autograph.
Today it was the Texas Rangers star center fielder – Andruw Jones. This is exciting as it marks a successful TTM return from an active major leaguer! It is always nice to see a guy take time out of his busy career and give a little back to the fans. In today's game it is easy to get caught up in all the BS hoopla regarding rule breakers and steroid users, but in the end these guys are getting paid (handsomely might I add) to play a game – something that anyone of us as a baseball fan would love to do, and something all of us dreamed doing as a kid!
There you have it – another FlippingWax TTM Success – thanks Mr. Jones!
I met a co-worker for lunch yesterday and decided to bring along some wax for kicks. I know he has a few cards, not a collector like myself, but a sports fan in general and I thought he would enjoy busting some packs.
It seems that Mackey Sasser after a collision at the plate with an opposing player developed some type of psychological problem with throwing the ball back to the pitcher in 1990. He would hesitate or double pump the ball and sometimes had to get up and nearly walk the ball back to the mound, this as you can imagine became an issue for his career. To note, he isn't the only guy that has had some trouble between the ears when it comes to throwing the baseball – you guys remember Steve Sax, Chuck Knoblauch, Steve Blass and even a pitcher turned outfielder Rick Ankiel – yep all of those guys had some issues at one time in their careers with throwing the baseball.
I am happy to see that Mackey bounced back from this issue after his career was over and was/is a coach at a community college, to note after some therapy he can successfully toss some batting practice to the kids with some type of consistency.
Believe I have a plan for this card, I hope to get a few more of my Mackey Sasser cards together and attempt to have him sign them via a TTM autograph attempt. I will certainly report back.
Yes, it's the middle of the week… yes the weekend is a distant memory in our ever so busy lives, but this is my blog and I can do whatever I want… so that leads us to what we have here – my Dania Beach baseball card show buys from Sunday August 2nd.
First up was a few packs of old wax – how about some 1992 Fleer, a box of 1992 Score Series 1, a few jumbo packs of 1992 Score Series 2, a couple packs of 1993 Score – looking to get the Jeter RC maybe, a box of 1992 Donruss. This was certainly and impulse buy – I have plenty of early 90s "junk" wax, but what's better than busting some childhood wax?
A few Don Mattingly and Derek Jeter baseball cards to add to my growing collection, that reminds me, maybe I should make a few dedicated pages to my biggest player collections. It might bore you to see 30, 40 or even 50 of the SAME cards for each player though… maybe for a rainy day. Also, I added a nice numbered Dave Righetti card and put me down for another Bernie Williams card (maybe he will be the 3rd player page). I round out this purchase with a numbered David Cone card, if I send this to Mr. Cone TTM do you think he will keep it? I didn't want to leave a nice card of a man that the baseball world need not forget about – Cory Lidle who passed away in an airplane crash a few years back.
I ended the day walking out looking for something to drop the last few dollars in my wallet on. I walked the show a few laps looking for something to catch my eye. I thought the show was slower this month than the past month so it was a rather dreary few laps. Then I decided what the hell, let's get another box and this is what I picked.
A box of 1993 Score, hey there has to be a few Jeter Rookies in there right? I guess we will find out soon in a box break post.
Again, if anyone is looking for any players from the early 90s, chances are I have more than a few of their cards from the various boxes and packs I picked up at the show, just drop me a line and I will send them your way.
I always liked Roberto Alomar as a 2nd baseman growing up, he was no doubt a talented player that bounced around to a few different teams in his 17 year career. He has many impressive stats from his career, but I am most impressed with his 12 consecutive All Star games and 10 gold gloves as a 2nd baseman!
And then there was the one he didn't sign… maybe his Shapie ran out, maybe he is a Topps fan and a hater of Upper Deck – who knows, but I am pleased with 2/3 on this TTM success – thanks Mr. Alomar.
TTM autographs are a great hobby and the more I get returns the more interested I am in trying harder players or just getting more TTM attempts out there – anyone else get any good returns lately?
The time has come again, its the first weekend of a new month and that means it's time for a cardshow. You see, down here in South Florida baseball card shows are few and far between, but there is one decent show the first weekend of every month at Dania Beach Jai-Alai – the Dania Card Show.
It is always a good time to go down on Saturday or Sunday and spend a few hours thumbing through the wax to see what you can find, maybe a diamond in the rough or just some decent cards for TTM autographs. There are some tables with guys selling some cool sports memorbilia as well.
This weekend in particular, not sure what my plan is… I will either go through the cheap boxes and look for guys for TTM or just go down and try to buy some boxes to break, but either way its nice to have the Dania Card Show on the agenda this weekend – free entry doesn't hurt either!
Every now and then I head over to eBay to see what baseball cards I can scoop up. Generally I am looking for nothing in particular so I just type in something of interest and sort by ending soonest and at time poor decisions follow. eBay and auctions in general are a funny thing, you go in looking for nothing really and then you come out with a few new things that you potentially got caught up in the moment and overpaid for. End rant.
Well I got a few baseball cards in the mail yesterday that I forget I even won and bought on eBay – always a nice surprise. I paid about $4 total for these two cards, and sure if you compare it to the "book" I might have been taken for a ride, but when there are no local shows except once a month – sometimes eBay is the way I scratch the itch.
There you have it, sometimes when you are in between shows and tired of busting nothing but junk from the retail stores that have all been searched, sometimes eBay is a fun way to get your baseball card fix!

Yusaku Blue #2 Petty 120mm Custom. This Yusaku Blue #2 Petty knife is made by a young up-and-coming blacksmith we have recently discovered. His name is Kousuke Muneishi and he is a 3rd generation blade maker heralding from Tosa. His grandfather started the Muneishi Cutlery Mfg company in 1955 to produce farming and forestry tools. His son took over management of the business and continues making these specialized cutting tools using mainly Aogami #2 steel.
Now, grandson Kousuke has begun making kitchen cutlery to expand the family business and add to his blade making skills. We are very impressed with these first efforts and have high hopes of a long relationship with this talented young man.
We have named these knives Yusaku and the kanji on the blade reflects this branding. The last character is pronounced Yu, but also can be pronounced as Suke when used in a name. The first kanji is Saku and it means work. So Yu-Saku means the work (or produced by) of Kousuke!
These are high-value knives that belie their keen price. The overall package of well-executed grinds, good fit and finish, and an all-purpose design add up to a knife that will appeal to many users, both professional and home-based. This knife is mated to a beautiful custom handle made by our woodworker Isaiah.


Resume writing services come as a big relief for people who need a professionally written resume, but struggle to create one themselves. If you have a flair for writing and would like to help people get jobs, this profession is for you. Read through this article to learn more on how to start your own service.
Most people create their resume based on templates available online or by copying other people's formats. However, this can often backfire, as it may not showcase an individual's accomplishments effectively. This is where a resume writing service comes into the picture. People are hiring these professionals to make their lives easier. This industry is growing by leaps and bounds, and if you think you have to potential and skill to create a professional resume, then consider this.
You need not worry about high start up costs. In fact, this business requires the lowest capital investment. It could be as less as USD 500, which would be mainly needed for advertising and registering the business. This is because you can work from home, and do not need to lease any premises or buy any heavy goods.
You could charge anywhere between USD 50 - USD 300 per client; this would vary depending on the amount of work you put in and the type of resume required. If your client is an executive with good work experience and a high salary, then you could charge him more than you would a student looking for his first break.
Advertising is your biggest tool to get the business up and running. Place an ad in the classified section of local newspapers. Also, put up flyers at public places such as coffee shops, Internet kiosks, stores, schools, and colleges. It is important to have a website that could promote your work, and where people can inquire. You can put up examples of your work on the site for people to view. Nowadays, professionals are using the social media to market their business. Identify related sites where you can place an ad, or a blog where you can talk about your work.
It requires the most basic equipment such as a computer with word processing software. Other than that you need an Internet connection, printer, fax, and a phone line. Though, most resumes these days are in a digital format, it is best to have a printer, if the need arises.
Your target market is going to be freshmen, people who are re-entering the corporate world after a break, and professionals looking to move up the corporate ladder.
To be a success in this industry, you need not have an impressive college degree. What matters is your skill at writing and summarizing information, and your marketing skills. You need to be able to really understand the pulse of the market. A certification from the Professional Association of Resume Writers or National Resume Writers Association holds a lot of weight. Lastly, you should be updated with the latest trends as far as resume styles and formats are concerned.

Q: $this->Agreements->save() - create only one record, why? I need to read all records from table agreements, make changes in filed payments, and update all records, save to table. So, my problem is, that save() only create empty record. Do not update exists record. I show you how:
Reading from table:
$agreements = $this->Agreement->find('all');
$payments = $this->Payment->find('all');

Manipulation on fields (part of)(example):
$id=0;
foreach ($agreements as $agreement):
    for ($i=$first_agreement; $i<=$last_agreement; $i++){
        if ( $agreement['Agreement']['agreement_number']==$i){
           $agreements[$id]['Agreement']['payment']=$payd[$i];
        }
      }
$id++;
endforeach;

Writting to table:
$this->Agreement->save();

A echo debug($agreements) shows correct array, i have tryed also :
$this->Agreement->save($agreements);

or
$this->Agreement->save($this->request->data);

Can you help/explain me how to write all record?
Cake 2.5.2 PHP : 5.4.4-14

A: Model::save() only saves a single record. If you want to save multiple records you need to use Model::saveAll() or Model::saveMany().

Film and animation director Mustashrik Mahbub is constantly dreaming and drawing, and you'll find the fruits of his labor on receipts, coasters and more at restaurants in London and beyond. Here's why.
Most restaurant regulars leave a nice, fat tip at their favorite neighborhood haunts. Or maybe cold beers for the staff as the last diners trickle out and they close down the restaurant for the night together. But across the pond in London, Mustashrik Mahbub leaves a trail of wonderful drawings on receipts, placements, coasters and more, capturing little moments in the restaurants and bars he loves so much.
Since late 2014, the film and animation director has been chronicling his restaurant doodles on his Instagram account, @mustashrik. The drawings vary, from stylized sketches of wine that play with the confines of the existing space and text to portraits of the people he's eating with to overlapping, stream-of-consciousness-like doodles. And his habit started with the last type of illustration.
Making something out of nothing is typical for the creative. He's constantly drawing on whatever he can get his hands on. His most recent obsession is leaving funny doodles on steamy windows at the gym—"It's a nice, silly surprise," he says. "But there's something quiet and transient about it." Growing up between England and Scotland, Mahbub didn't have a lot of toys. Instead, he was raised by a supportive mother who encouraged him to, in his words, "create the toys" around him. That instilled the self-starter energy and imagination we see today.
With the help of mentors over the years, he taught himself how to draw. He then went on to graduate from the Surrey Institute of Art & Design, then work at production companies and advertising agencies before taking his own path as a director. Clients like Louis Vuitton, Heineken and Ed Sheeran have been on his payroll, and his animated films have made their rounds at international film festivals—his latest, Girl Effect, is currently racking up awards. Mahbub is working on new TV content—he can't say what, just yet—and just finished directing a new film for Amnesty International that will launch later this year. He's a busy guy. He starts his day at the gym at 6 a.m. and launches into meetings, calls and emails and keeps up with his industry at night by watching 3-4 films a week—and that's when he's not traveling for work. But he always finds time to retreat to his favorite restaurants and bars and paying it forward in his own way. Clearly, the restaurant is his sanctuary.
And all these elements of the restaurant, from the temperature to the plate to the lighting, inspire the rising director as he pursues his next big projects.


You also want to be sure to get involved with the Dubsism Sideline Reporter Challenge. Details available in the podcast, but the bottom line is send the stupidest things you hear sideline reporters say to us, and if we pick yours for the week, we'll plug anything you want (within reason and legal constraints).

You don't need to have any fancy equipment or an expensive gym membership. Whatever you can do to raise your heart rate and make yourself out of breath counts!
Brisk Walking, Jogging or Running… Anything from walking around the block, taking the dog for a walk or walking to and from the shops instead of driving. You can also find local walking or running groups, or just have a 'mosey' round your local park. Try to keep it brisk.
Walking Up and Down Your Stairs… A bit more strenuous than walking on flat ground, and burns more calories. You could even try it while carrying a tin of beans in each hand to get extra oomph from the exercise. This one was a favourite of WLR's founder when she started her weight loss journey!
Cycling… If you've already got a bike cycling can easily take the place of walking. As with walking, most big towns and cities now have local cycling groups that you could join if you wanted to.
Dancing… Stick some of your favourite music on and dance around your living room! This one is a real feel good activity, and can easily get other family members involved. It doesn't cost anything and doesn't feel like a chore!
Exercise DVD's… If you feel you want a little more structure there are plenty of good exercise DVD's available for any fitness level for less than £10. Most of the popular ones have been tried and tested in the past by WLR members – why not ask on the boards for some of their favourites?
Swimming… A personal favourite of some of the WLR staff, swimming is a great exercise to do if it's something you love. It works your whole body and can be done at a pace that suits you. It's even really quite relaxing!
Get at least 20 minutes of moderate, focussed activity into your day. Make sure you're raising your heart rate so that you're reasonably breathless and beginning to sweat. Try not to start out too vigorously – doing more at a moderate pace is better than having to stop after a few minutes because you're trying to do too much.


This game will appeal primarily to fans of the fantasy genre. At the first time, Yggdrasil сompany provided the system of the appearance the symbols at the expense of the asymmetrical rows of coils. We can highlight among other features three types of wild symbols and the opportunity to use free spins.
In one word, the machine is bright and non-standard, though with a small number of additional features. But in any case, you need to know how to win at Magic Mushrooms slot. We studied this and not to rely only on the expectation of the winning.
The testing of this slot showed that it has good potential, realised through free spins and three wild symbols with unique properties — the main game surprised by the excellent benefits. I was making bets of different denominations, but most of all I was able to win €2. And, I could not receive a maximum of 75 spins here. During the gaming sessions, I managed to land on the reel for 4 scatters several times, but in most cases, it was limited to three. I suggest you play this slot for virtual bets and then go for real money. Overall the verdict is positive.
The frequency of falling of the bonus is statistically, every 51st spin (1,96%).
The probability of a hit (any winning) is 32,35%.
Distribution of the winnings is 23% in the main game and 77% in the bonus feature.
The maximum payout during the tests was 50x.
Volatility is 6,46 out of 20 (average).
The rating of the slot machine for the wagering is 4.98 out of 10.
RTP of 96,4% allows getting a positive mathematical expectation at a casino.
While you are playing in automatic mode, the frequency of triggering pay combinations was significantly less than in individual spin.
The thematic bonus game is absent in Magic Mushrooms. It replaces by free spins by 10, 20 and 75. Also, wild symbols will help to form the pay combinations with higher multipliers. Two of scatters will bring you two additional spins. That's all you need to know about using the bonus features.
There are favourable conditions always offer in Play Fortuna casino. They are not only for beginners (bonus up to $500) but also for regular customers. The interesting loyalty program allows you to exchange play points for money, weekly cashback, reduced the wagering requirement for VIP's and much more awaits you in this gambling house.


Great opportunity to get in on this extremely successful industrial /civil plant work business. The business has grown due to their word-of-mouth advertising with little or no marketing budget.

Everyone reacts differently to a chemical pregnancy, and there is not any single, ideal reaction. A chemical pregnancy does not normally need medical intervention or treatment. A chemical pregnancy doesn't always mean that you're not able to conceive and have a wholesome shipping. A chemical pregnancy usually doesn't have any symptoms aside from late menstruation. A chemical pregnancy doesn't increase or diminish the probability of becoming pregnant again later on. A chemical pregnancy is truly a form of miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. Hence, the expression chemical pregnancy refers to the biochemical method of diagnosis.
Therefore, the only means to verify the pregnancy is via blood tests. A chemical pregnancy doesn't always cause symptoms. It's also important to be aware that a chemical pregnancy isn't your fault. Many times, a chemical pregnancy goes unnoticed, and seems to be just a late period. A chemical pregnancy is a pregnancy that's been confirmed by means of a pregnancy test (either blood or urine), but there are not any other significant clinical indications of the pregnancy and there's nothing seen on ultrasound. As a consequence, a chemical pregnancy can appear to be a false positive pregnancy test, or just a late period. If recurring chemical pregnancies occur, talk to your ObGyn to ascertain the most suitable plan of treatment for you.
In the majority of cases, women don't have any indicators of a chemical pregnancy. In that instance, the woman should finish a complete course of treatment before planning of the following pregnancy, and may conceive a baby just only after repeated checkup. If she believes that there are any issues with her early pregnancy, she should talk to a doctor. Many women might not even know they have experienced a chemical pregnancy if they're not regularly taking pregnancy tests.
Chemical pregnancies aren't uncommon. In fact, they are very common. A chemical pregnancy is basically an extremely early miscarriage. Normally, a chemical pregnancy does not demand treatment but should you suspect you have had one, talk to a physician to monitor your hCG levels. The reason why it's termed a chemical pregnancy is that it's only the missed period and positive pregnancy test that show that you're pregnant. The most important method of telling that you've had a chemical pregnancy is that you'll have a positive pregnancy test (it can be a really faint line on the test) before your period is due. Chemical pregnancy, like every miscarriage, stems from a selection of causes.
In the majority of cases biochemical pregnancy has run with no indicators or unpleasant feelings. In a feeling, a biochemical pregnancy is often a retrospective diagnosis. A biochemical pregnancy truly is an actual pregnancy. You can opt to conceive unless there's a really convincing reason behind biochemical pregnancy.
When it can be heartbreaking to eliminate a pregnancy, do your best not to panic. It gets your hopes for pregnancy, but finally, it is just an extremely early miscarriage. What's a chemical pregnancy A chemical pregnancy can be exceedingly painful, especially in case you have actively tried to conceive and you desperately need a baby.

Up in Arms About Papules Acne?
There are in reality different kinds of acne and it's important to have. Don't think that it is just a teen problem, either. Treating hormonal acne can be tricky on account of the simple fact that for the large part, it's out of your control.
There are several different varieties of acne varying in severity from mild to severe. It is an incredibly common problem that is not always simple to overcome. The acne or scars may want to get treated again eventually to keep the result.
There are two primary varieties of acne. Additionally, there are inflammatory and non-inflammatory forms of acne. Acne, better referred to as pimples, is a typical skin condition deeply affecting the teens.
Nobody likes dealing with acne, but it's a really real part of life for many folks. Acne is a disorder of the skin which affects adults in addition to teens. In other words, comedonal acne is about clogged pores.
Some other sorts of acne, however, aren't merely a cosmetic burden. It basically affects the areas of skin with a higher number of oil glands. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do in order to stop cystic acne.
Lots of people with acne either don't believe or don't realise that exfoliation is among the secrets of a crystal clear and radiant skin. It is a skin condition that creates stress and embarrassment for many people. There are several sorts of severe acne.
Up in Arms About Molina Healthcare Layoffs?
Doctors often add and drop plans, therefore it's important to ensure your options are compatible with your insurance policy program. Most doctors take a telephone call for an appointment, though some may offer online scheduling also. You can pick the ideal doctor for your requirements, understand your choices and prevent yourself from being blindsided by medical expenses.
Surgery has some more dire risks attached to it, so be certain to speak to your surgeon about the possible problems that can come up because of your procedure. It affects people in different ways, but as you begin to emerge from anesthesia, you'll want to alert your nurse to any issues you may have. Every surgery is going to have a follow-up call or appointment to speak about your recovery and make it possible for you to ask any questions about unusual symptoms or changes in your total wellbeing. Ask how frequently the surgeon performs this surgery and attempt to find one which regularly does it.
Patients can select from a wide number of physicians based on doctor specialty and precisely what problems they're experiencing. They typically go to the dentist twice a year. On top of it, they are not even aware of this sudden and very costly change. In addition to those hurdles, a growing number of patients are facing high deductibles for prescription drugs or are being requested to pay a proportion of the price of a drug, which is known as coinsurance, rather than a nominal copayment. When you call, make them know whether you're a new patient, since this will require that you finish some paperwork for your very first visit.
Sometimes cancer can't be viewed on scans. Breast cancer is a subject of international interest since it is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths among women. When you're diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer it is normal to wonder how long you've got to reside.
What other kinds of cancer are present. Different types of Breast Cancer Breast Cancers can be split into four types dependent on the location they occur and whether it's a local one or not. Sometimes folks are discovered to have metastatic breast cancer at their very first diagnosis of breast cancer.
Treatment Once breast cancer was found, it's staged. It is not a single disease. It is very important to remember that while Stage 4 breast cancer is usually used interchangeably with MBC, the 2 terms don't always indicate something similar.
As with the majority of cancers, the specific cause of breast cancer has not yet been pinpointed. It occurs when malignant tumors in the breast grow and start to affect other tissues in the body. From relative obscurity, it has become one of the leading causes of deaths among women in the world. It can also occur due to hormonal changes in the body, like during menopause. Breast cancer or some other sort of cancer stems from free radicals entering our entire body.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Morning Tech will not publish from Dec. 24-Jan 1. Our next newsletter will publish on Jan. 2.
TODAY IN TECH
LAST-MINUTE BILL WATCHING — It's the Friday before Christmas, both chambers of Congress are still in session, and we're barreling toward a shutdown showdown. But with the year almost up, here's a rundown of where we stand on a host of tech- and telecom-related measures:
— Bringing IDEAs to fruition: President Donald Trump on Thursday signed The 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience (IDEA) Act, H.R. 5759 (115), into law during a White House ceremony. The measure, led by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), is aimed at modernizing government websites by raising standards for how they function and look.
— Open for business: The Senate on Wednesday passed the Open, Public, Electronic and Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act, S. 760 (115), introduced by Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), which would require that agencies publish public information in a machine-readable format. The bill passed as part of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, H.R. 4174 (115). The House will take up the measure today.
— Self-driving, but not self-passing: Senators conceded earlier this week that the SELF DRIVE Act, H.R. 3388 (115), would not be passed in 2018. House Energy and Commerce Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.) called it "extremely disappointing that the Senate will not be able to finish its work on self-driving car legislation this year." The proposal would regulate and create federal safety standards for self-driving cars.
— Copy that: The Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act, S. 1010 (115), hasn't advanced in the lame duck. Consumer groups oppose the measure, which would give the president, instead of the Librarian of Congress, the power to appoint the Register of Copyrights. The Electronic Frontier Foundation warned that it would "turn the Register into a pawn of the President."
GREETINGS AND WELCOME TO MORNING TECH, where your host is glad to have 2018 newsletters in the books but is looking forward to being back soon. Got a news tip?

THE WICKER MAN COMES TO COMMERCE — As 2018 nears its end, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) is gearing up to chair Senate Commerce starting in 2019. "We want to hit the ground running," Wicker, a veteran panel member whose agenda includes data privacy and broadband, told John this week, citing plans to "notice some hearings at the subcommittee and full committee level." So what's on his mind?
— Deputizing Thune on telecom: Don't expect Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) to vanish from the tech and telecom discussions. The outgoing panel chairman made his interest in chairing Senate Commerce's telecom subcommittee known earlier this year, eyeing the satellite TV reauthorization legislation Congress is likely to tackle next year. "I imagine he'd have a pretty good chance," Wicker remarked with a chuckle.
— Staying aloof on antitrust: The Commerce panel in recent years has frequently deferred oversight of mergers and acquisitions to the Judiciary Committee, and Wicker shows no sign of changing that. "I have not made it a practice to comment about mergers," Wicker told John when asked about the $26 billion T-Mobile-Sprint merger (which Mississippi-based C-Spire has begun slamming in recent weeks). Wicker said he prefers to defer to the antitrust regulators.
GET IN LINE — Members of the House Tech Accountability Caucus are joining a growing list of lawmakers requesting a formal sit-down with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to a letter obtained by MT. "The scope and intimate degree to which you shared private data is concerning," the group — led by Reps. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) — wrote to the Zuckerberg on Thursday. The letter comes just days after an explosive New York Times investigation detailed Facebook's data-sharing arrangements with over 100 tech firms.
FCC: GRAY-RAY A-OKAY — The FCC on Thursday approved Gray Television's $3.6 billion deal for Raycom Media, clearing the way for the companies to close the transaction in January. The broadcasters agreed to sell off TV stations in nine markets where their footprints overlap, and pledged to do so without the controversial sidecar arrangements that drew criticism in the failed Sinclair-Tribune deal. Gray will own 124 stations across 92 markets, covering 24 percent of U.S. TV households, although the UHF discount — which counts only half the reach of some stations — brings that down to about 17 percent. The Justice Department signed off on the deal last week.
SPECTRUM ANALYSIS — The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration is calling for comments on its "development of a comprehensive, long-term National Spectrum Strategy." The action is the latest step toward fulfilling President Donald Trump's call in October for a national strategy on wireless airwaves. "As President Trump has made clear, meeting demand for spectrum and unlocking the promise of these technologies requires thoughtful planning and a long-term outlook," said NTIA chief David Redl.
THE LATEST NET NEUTRALITY HEAD COUNT — Reps. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Penn.) and Brenda Jones (D-Mich.) became the latest Democrats to sign onto the discharge petition to force a House floor vote to restore the Obama-era net neutrality rules. While the deadline for filing the petition has passed, net neutrality advocates have been pushing to add support for the movement ahead of the next Congress, when Democrats will retake the chamber. The two lawmakers bring total signatories to 182.
— John Giannandrea, a former chief of artificial intelligence at Google, has been promoted to senior vice president of machine learning and artificial intelligence strategy at Apple, which he joined in April.
Silicon Valley Must Reads
— HQ blues: New York City Council members are trying to ban non-disclosure agreements amid fallout from the shadowy Amazon HQ2 selection process, BuzzFeed News reports.
— Oops: Anonymous Silicon Valley social network Blind accidentally exposed workers' complaints about their companies, TechCrunch reports.
— Double oops: An Amazon Alexa owner received over a thousand audio recordings from a stranger because of a "human error," The Washington Post reports.
— Hackception: Chinese hackers breached networks at Hewlett Packard and IBM, and then used the information to hack into their clients' computers, Reuters reports.
— "WhatsApp has an encrypted child porn problem," via TechCrunch.
— Jonesing for a fight: Democratic Alabama Sen. Doug Jones has called for a disinformation probe into his campaign against disgraced Republican candidate Roy Moore, via The Washington Post.
— Ready for takeo— wait, how much? Space startup Swarm Technologies has agreed to pay $900,000 to the U.S. Treasury for an unauthorized flight as part of a settlement with the Federal Communications Commission, The Verge reports.
— Ouch: Twitter's stock tanked after an analyst called it the "Harvey Weinstein of social media," Variety reports.
— Trend setters: Apple has changed how it reports U.S. national security requests for data, bringing it more in line with other top tech firms, Reuters reports.
— Don't lose your head over it: The trick to unlocking phones, for hackers and authorities alike? 3D printed heads, according to TechCrunch.

Kerrville Folk Festival 2019 – Lifting Your Musical Spirit
Summer's just around the corner and for the lucky ones in the Texas Hill Country that means Kerrville time! Dust off that trusted tent and canopy, pull out your river shoes and cooler, and get ready for the good vibes of the 48th Kerrville Folk Festival! After all, how could you go wrong with the endless program of outdoor fun from nature walks and canoe trips to bike rides and yoga to art and music workshops plus beer and wine seminars set around an official music line up to die for? And what's more, this year's mild spring tempertures give the optimistic (or perhaps the foolhardy!) real hope for a little less sweat and a little more fest!
Rod Kennedy founded the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1972, and this year's event marks the five-year anniversary of his passing. Keep an eye and ear out for tribute moments to Kennedy this year for it is his folk music gathering that stands as the longest continuously running music festival in North America – 18 days and nights – and continues to attract hundreds of singer-songwriters from around the globe to take part in its magic -- both on stage and under the stars during late-night (and frequently all night) jam sessions. The festival also serves as the flagship event of the Kerrville Folk Festival Foundation which sponsors other music and culture events year around. For the uninitiated, many consider Kerrville the mecca for singer-songwriters, attested to by the fact that the likes of Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Arlo Guthrie and David Crosby, to name a few, have graced its stage.
The Grassy Hill New Folk Competition is the highlight of the first weekend, if not the entire event. There is a tangible giddiness and excitement around the afternoon event as 32 singer-songwriters out of this year's more than 500 entries from around the globe perform two songs in the hope of being named one of six winners. In true Kerrville style, the competition is built on mutual respect and admiration, yet there is indeed something to play for. Award winners travel throughout Texas over the course of the year as part of the Kerrville Road Shows, a festival-sponsored tour showcasing the artists. The accolade can even jump start an artist's career -- past New Folk Award Winners include Lyle Lovett (1982), Robert Earl Keen (1983), Tish Hinojosa (1979), Darden Smith (1985), Hal Ketchum (1986), James McMurtry (1987), Slaid Cleaves (1992) and Lucinda Williams (a participant on several occasions). Win or lose, the event is a good ol' time if nothing else.
Memorial Day weekend (May 23-26) brings both some big names and some newbies to the festival. "There is a youthful flair running through this year's program," said festival director Dalis Allen. "Some first-time visiting artists are bringing new blood to the line-up." First-timers Crys Matthews and Pushing Chain kick things off on the main stage of Thursday the 23rd. Hailing from North Carolina and now calling Virginia home, Matthews was recently one of 10 finalists out of 5,000 at the New Song Music Competition while the duo Pushing Chain from Minnesota has been at it for over 20 years, playing over 200 shows a year, yet their very first at Kerrville. Austin-based legend Ruthie Foster closes things on Thursday with her eclectic blend of blues, soul, gospel, and folk – sure to raise the roof!
The first weekend is a zinger not to be missed with lots of Girl Power in the air. Founded and fronted by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith, the formidable Rising Appalachia sprinkle various world influences into their brand of southern inspired folk-blues. The Smith sisters are preceded by Austin-based trio Nobody's Girl who brought down the house last year and have only built its following since with their endlessly soaring harmonies. Bettysoo, Grace Pettis, and Rebecca Loebe's ties go back to a first meeting as individual winners of the New Folk Songwriters a decade ago. Austin's all female quartet Ley Line plays Kerrville for the first time on Saturday, creating a global soundscape influenced by Brazil, Latin America and West Africa, blended with dynamic harmonies. Multi-instrumentalist Bonnie Payne follows -- best known for fronting the brilliant Elephant Revival who wowed audiences last year at Kerrville. Get ready to get down with washboards, stomp boxes, cellos, flutes and pretty much everything in between when Paine takes the stage! Playing under the moniker of "Three Women and The Truth" Eliza Gilkyson, Mary Gauthier, and Gretchen Peters bring the songwriting craft to the forefront with this Sunday evening song swap. Perhaps a slightly more mature take on the Girl Power theme, the three women have found award-winning success not only on their own but with the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Tim McGraw and many others recording their songs. Songwriting legend Richard Thompson closes out the first weekend. Having won numerous lifetime achievements on both sides of the Atlantic and having had his songs recorded by everyone from Elvis Costello to REM to Los Lobos and David Bryne, to name a few, Thompson was named one of the Top 20 Guitarists Of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.
Those perhaps preferring a more toned down approach will appreciate the mid-week shows at the smaller Threadgill Theater. Tuesday the 28th is dedicated to Kerrville favorites The Hearnes. Both Bill and Michael Hearne will play before the screening of the documentary film "New Mexico Rain" on the iconic musical duo of Bill Hearne and his wife Bonnie Hearne who passed away at the end of 2017 at the age of 71. "The Hearnes have been a fixture at Kerrville for years. The film is fitting tribute to Bill and Bonnie,' said Allen. Based in Santa Fe, the duo were a regular act at the La Fonda on the Santa Fe square for 25 years. Local favorite Johnny Nicholas plays Thursday the 30th. His Hilltop Cafe outside Fredericksburg hosts and promotes the above-mentioned Kerrville Road Show, and some might recall his rollicking performance last year at the festival with Cindy Cashdollar. The 38th Songwriters School also takes places during the day from Monday the 27th until Thursday the 30th for those wanting to hone their craft!
The second weekend kicks off with local favorite Shinyribs, Kevin Russell's most recent musical incarnation, pedaling a Cajun mix of country-soul and swamp-fun. Probably best known for co-fronting the legendary Gourds, Russell is eclectic if nothing else and pretty much anything goes at a Shinyribs show. Not to be missed! Terry Hendrix with Lubbock legend Lloyd Maines also play Kerrville on the second weekend. A wonderful tunesmith for over three decades, Hendrix has cranked out nearly an album a year since 1996, visiting Kerrville numerous times and blending a touch of wisdom with her lesson-learned tales of poetic discovery. A classically trained vocalist, Hendrix was recently recognized by Acoustic Guitar magazine as one of Texas's essential contemporary singer-songwriters. Austin's legendary sideman Jeff Plankenhorn closes the weekend out with a show of his own. Long regarded as one of the best guitarists in Austin, Plankenhorn epitomizes working man musician, playing weekly at Austin's Saxon Pub with The Resentments, offering a bluesy take on singer-songwriter Americana.
The second mid-week highlight centers around the screening of Brent Simond's documentary film "Sweet Dreams Do Come True", a musical memoir on Nashville songwriter Verlon Thompson, whose songs have been recorded by Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffett, Sam Bush, Kenny Rogers and many others. Thompson will be in attendance and plays prior to the screening of the film. The documentary captures Thompson's comtemporaries Guy Clark and Sam Bush (among others) in a loving tribute to "a life lived right".
The third and final weekend features two-time Grammy-winning songwriter Rodney Crowell. Having been flooded out by heavy rains when paired with Emmylou Harris in 2015, Crowell returns to headline the final Friday. Cromwell has penned five number-one songs over his career of more than 50 years and his musicianship was recently complemented by his memoir "Chinaberry Sidewalks". The "New-to-Kerrville" theme continues on Saturday night with the excellent Beat Root Revival, featuring the duo of Andrea Mcgee and Ben Jones – Austin transplants via Ireland and England. Having bulit a strong following over the past three years, the band's foot stomping melodies have blended with heavenly harmonies to move audience around the globe. They follow Kerrville fixtures Trout Fishing in America whose humorous tales of good times and bad have tickled Kerrville kids both young and old on the big stage and smaller Threadgill Theater where their Children's Concert takes place both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Make sure not to miss Nashville's Sam Bush, "The Father of Newgrass", as he closes out Saturday night as Austin Americana stalwarts Wood & Wire who play the final show on Sunday, June 9th before the tribute rendition of the Kerrville anthem "Heal in the Wisdom" marking its 40th Anniversary.


People who have stopped using violence say the hardest part is admitting they needed help to change their behaviour. Changing your behaviour takes courage but brings lifelong rewards.
If your family is scared of you, or if people tell you that your behaviour is frightening, you might need to consider making changes to the way you behave.
Change is possible, it takes courage, effort and determination. There are services all over New Zealand that offer programmes and support for you to learn new ways of behaving.
The Family Violence Information Line (0800 456 450) provides self-help information and connects people to services where appropriate. It is available seven days a week, from 9am to 11pm, with an after-hours message redirecting callers in the case of an emergency.


… you need to use your strimmer. On the patio.
After a few weeks of negotiations, and another couple of agonising weeks of waiting for the paperwork to come through, I've been formally offered a job at Reading University's ACET group, working on a project called VERA. Initially, I'll be doing work on cross-database searching with peer-to-peer software, although there's a big bunch of other things that need doing... 3D visualisation, semantic web, usability, and open-sourcing an established piece of software.
I've just seen this on nmg's blog.
Copy the list, bold the ones you're read. Underline the ones you loved. Put the ones you're going to read in italics. Marvel at how far you still have to go. Act all concerned over the fact that the average person has only read 6 of these.

We performed the Verdi Requiem in Winchester Cathedral last night. It was a superb concert -- the soloists were great (particularly the bass and the soprano), and the orchestra was good. The big difference in the choir, though, was almost certainly the fact that we sang without scores. This meant that we had few places to look other than the conductor. As a result, we were tighter rhythmically, and much more responsive to the conductor's indications on dynamics.

Knowledge learned in academic settings is solidified and made practical via apprenticeship experiences. The internships in the Master of Health Informatics at Dalhousie University program helps students bridge their knowledge from a classroom setting to a real world setting. In today's climate, healthcare providers have an increasing burden of sorting thorough vast amounts of information with time constraints. One of the important tasks of health informaticians is to identify the requirement of the health professionals and provide them the knowledge and tools to do their day to day activities efficiently. The health informatician must distribute the available knowledge according to the stockholder's needs. The main objective of this internship was to develop Decision Support exercises for the Division of Medical Education (DME)-Summer Institute of Health Informatics (SIHI). The other main objective was to encode an interview in a qualitative software ATLAS ti for the Canadian Medical Association (CMA)-Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Case Study. Both objectives aim was based on knowledge sharing within the learned communities. The Dalhousie University Medical School has significant number of educational programs for their students. The Division of Medical Education (DME) is a division under the Faculty of Medicine which undertakes and fosters research and development in medical education with particular emphasis in faculty development, communication skills, medical informatics and health/medical education research. As part of this internship's objective; Clinical Decision Support Systems tools (CDSS) were explained with hands on experience on CDSS tools like ISABEL, Visual Dx, data analysis along with operations of SPSS, a statistical package, were explained for decision making to the faculty to help promote life long learning. The SIHI worked as a knowledge sharing model 5 through Community of Participation (CoP) which was effective according to the response of the participant; however an effective sharing of this knowledge gained through an online discussion forum should be implemented in the future. Canada does not have full implementation of EMR and there is tremendous room for growth. The Canadian Medical Association (CMA)-Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Case Study is the first national collaborative effort among academic researchers and the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) representatives to examine the implementation and use of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in primary care settings. The purpose of this research was to provide physicians with practical information on best practices and lessons learned with regards to implementation and use of EMR systems in clinical practice settings. Systematic procedures were followed under the supervision of Dr. Grace Paterson. Moncton, New Brunswick was visited physically and the information was recorded, transcribed and a previously conducted interview by researchers was analyzed by this author using qualitative data analysis software Atlas-ti. The findings of EMR implementation case study will be published and will be recommended to the different stakeholders so that effective measures are taken to make an integrated health care system, the primary initiative of the Canada Health Infoway. Both the above tasks should inspire the participants to use intelligent software's in case of clinical and other health related decision making. There should be continued and enhanced cooperation between health informaticians and health care providers to provide optimal delivery of health care.

I Know You're a Terrorist, but What Am I?
By Borzou Daragahi
The administration of President Donald Trump finally on April 8—countering the advice of the United States' own military and intelligence mandarins—named Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization.
As the White House bragged in its statement, it was the first time that an entire branch of another government was named a foreign terrorist organization. Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), chaired by President Hassan Rouhani, quickly countered by naming US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees American forces in the greater Middle East, a terrorist organization.
Beyond the obvious risk of escalating military tensions between Iranian and US forces throughout the region, and increasing the chances of an unplanned direct military conflict, the Trump administration's designation only confuses and complicates a Middle East already mired in proxy wars, treachery, and widespread misery.
From the Trump administration's point of view, it might seem like a win-win, part of the "maximum pressure" campaign touted by the White House and its Iran hawks. Naming the IRGC a terrorist organization looks tough. It's an idea that's been batted around since at least the time of the George W. Bush administration, but always rejected by the military brass.
The designation gives the impression of "doing something" without deploying troops or battleship groups. The usual suspects were overjoyed.
"Today's unprecedented move to designate the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization demonstrates our commitment to maximize pressure on the Iranian regime until it ceases using terrorism as tool of statecraft." National Security Adviser John Bolton, a longtime advocate of regime change, declared on Twitter. "The corrupt IRGC invests in terrorism, while Iran's people suffer."
The IRGC is an integral part of that corruption and brutality. But it's also an integral part of both the mundane and extraordinary aspects of Iran's domestic and foreign policy. Naming it a terrorist organization will yield few, if any, advantages for the US, but very likely further alienate Washington from allies and potential ones who consider the Trump administration toxic.
In 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ordered the formation of the IRGC as an ideologically-motivated bulwark against the deposed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's army, which he mistrusted, and to protect Iran from what it deemed to be inside and outside threats. Over the decades it has increased its role in cracking down on dissent, even pushing aside the Ministry of Intelligence from its role, dominating aspects of the economy, and taking part in foreign military adventures.
But over the years the IRGC has become as integral to Iranian society as the regular army. The 125,000-man "Sepah," as Iranians call it, is where many ordinary Iranians do their military service. It sometimes acts as a kind of US Army Corps of Engineers, playing a key role in helping mitigating the damage disasters, like the floods now afflicting several provinces. There are IRGC veterans who run internet startups and even work as political scientists critical of the regime.
Akbar Ganji, an outspoken dissident against the regime who spent years in prison for writing about a series of murders of opposition figures, served in the IRGC during the Iran-Iraq War. Mohsen Sazegara, now a prominent dissident speaking out against the regime from Washington and a former fellow at a think tank, was among the founders of the IRGC.
Hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Iranians who have served in the IRGC in various capacities now will be smeared as "terrorists," regardless of their political views, or, more relevantly, their actions.
The IRGC has also long dominated policy in Iran's near abroad—everywhere from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon—also in places like Azerbaijan and Armenia. Even the diplomats serving in these countries are often former IRGC stalwarts.
Speak to American allies in Iraqi Kurdistan or Baghdad, and they'll tell you how they must do business with the IRGC, which regulates commercial border traffic, coordinates security cooperation, and serves as the primary interlocutor for authorities in Tehran.
Labeling the IRGC as a terrorist organization will likely only push potential American allies into an uncomfortable situation where they may be forced to betray the United States.
After all, Iran is what it is and cannot be divorced from the region. Meanwhile, the US has proven itself at best a fickle friend that has repeatedly abandoned allies. The Trump administration has repeatedly threatened to toss Syrian, Iraqi, and Afghan allies aside.
Why would the People's Protection Units (YPG) fighters in northern Syria or Afghanistan's Ministry of Defense stop talking to the IRGC, which has been around for 40 years and may be around for another forty, to appease a White House that might change hands in less than two years?
More than anything, the terrorism designation just risks making such designations more meaningless than they already are, in a region where the term is bandied about too readily.
Russia, Syria, and Iran regularly smear rebels fighting the regime of Bashar al-Assad as "terrorists." Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain call everyone from Muslim Brotherhood activists, to Houthi rebels, to Shia clergy, and even secular dissidents "terrorists."
Now Iran has labeled the thousands serving under CENTCOM's General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. "terrorists."
After a while the word loses its meaning. It becomes a smear by policymakers who lack the imagination, political flexibility or even the real desire to make changes to improve the lives of people in their own countries or elsewhere, and instead spend their time settling domestic scores with predecessors and critics.
The United States rolled out its designation of the entire IRGC as a terrorist organization with great fanfare. Both US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook spoke at length to the press.
Hook and Ambassador Nathan Sales, who oversees counter-terrorism, refused repeatedly to answer any questions of what a policy that a puts a branch of another government on the same list as Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) might mean when it goes into effect.
"The law provides that it is a federal criminal offense punishable by up to 20 years in prison for any person who provides material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization," said Sales. "Now, the application of that law to particular cases, it's impossible to predict in advance what that's going to look like."
But such details are essential to know. Would a one-time IRGC conscript—now working as an engineer—transiting through New York to visit relatives in Toronto be plucked out of JFK and put in prison? Would a German optician who once sold lenses to a retired IRGC officer now be regarded as doing business with terrorists? Is a man who pays rent to a former IRGC commander turned real estate developer funding terrorism?
To justify the designation, Pompeo cited Iran's alleged involvement in the 1996 Khobar attack in Saudi Arabia, foiled plots in the US, Turkey, Kenya, Germany, as well as Tehran's support for Palestinian militant groups, Lebanese Hezbollah, and the Syrian regime.
Iran countered by describing US involvement in the 1988 downing of a passenger jet, the killing of Yemeni civilians by the Saudi-led coalition, and other "terrorist policies" in west Asia. It could have also mentioned the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, likely at the hands of US allies.
Certainly both countries engage in dangerous clandestine and overt military and paramilitary operations abroad. Both support militant groups, proxies, and states they see as representing their interests.
Geopolitical name-calling may feel good. But it does little to resolve the considerable differences between the two countries, and only makes the decades of grievances between Iran and the United States more difficult to unravel.

A top banking executive officer was immediately dismissed for not daring to implement the bank's anti-money laundering rules against the King of Ghana. He deposited for the king over $462,000 in cash.
According to The Telegraph, the ruler of the Kingdom of Ashanti, Osei Tutu II, asked Mark Arthur, the senior executive of the Ghana International Bank's London office, to deliver a bag with £ 200,000 and US$ 200,000 to the king's house which is situated in Henley-on-Thames.
Mark Arthur took the cash and immediately deposited it into the Monarch's accounts at the bank's City office. He also transferred $200,000 to an individual bank account at Standard bank in Jersey.
The deposit of such a quantity of cash triggered a special money laundering alert at the bank's office in the UK capital. The bank immediately reported these transactions to the National Crime Agency as doubtful.
The Agency inspected Arthur. After it, the bank fired the executive officer for not following anti-money laundering rules, as well as for violating security policies, because he was asked just to carry cash.
At his witness statement, he explained that without desiring to upset the monarch of his native country, he found himself in an entirely tricky situation he had never experienced before," YEN Journal reported.
Osei Tutu II is one of the top-10 wealthiest monarchs in Africa. He is the most respected and powerful traditional figure in Ghana.

A brand new event, the Santa Dash 5K Fun Run on 12th December 2010 was in support of Brainwave, the national charity which opened its 3rd centre in Birchwood in 2009. It was a sight to see, as the runners and walkers wearing Santa suits made their way from the shopping centre, past the railway station, alongside Birchwood Brook, into the park and back past the fire station, walled garden and high school. It was supported by local organisations and businesses such as Birchwood Lions, Spectrum Striders Running Club, Birchwood Shopping Centre and The Peacock. I was chief marshal for the event and I would like to thank all of the marshal volunteers who were from Chester University, Birchwood Lions and Spectrum Striders.
Brainwave is a UK charity that provides care for children with disabilities and their families. Originally established in the south west of England they opened their north west centre in Birchwood in 2009. Brainwave works with families to deliver individual home-based therapy and exercise programmes that help children with disabilities and developmental delay to achieve their potential. This can be anything from walking to recognising numbers. Brainwave looks after a whole range of children with conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Down's Syndrome and Autism.
Attending the event were Warrington Wolves star Lee Mitchell, local paralympic athlete Adrian Derbyshire who is British wheelchair fencing champion and will be representing Great Britain at the Paralympic Gamers in London 2012 and Christine Cryne, Chief Executive Officer of Brainwave. Entertainment was provided by Pete Pinnington from 107.2 Wire FM.
This gallery is just a fraction of those that I took on the day. I will also be making the most of the photos I took available to Brainwave and The Birchwood Shopping Centre. In addition, I took several photos of specific people and groups - if I took any of you, please get in touch and I will email the photo(s) to you. The photos are also available on Facebook - check out the pages for The Brainwave Centre and The Peacock where some of the pictures are shared.

Tractor Transport recently shipped this Horning Corn Head from Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to Flasher, North Dakota. The journey was more than 1,500 miles. Weight: 2,000 pounds. Length: 8 feet. Width: 8 feet. Height: 5 feet. To ship your farm heads anywhere in the US, Canada or Mexico, call Brian at Tractor Transport directly at (954) 603-1344.
Choose Tractor Transport to Ship Your Farm headers!
Farm headers are attachments that can cut crops, pick them up and place them in windrows. Headers are attached to the front of combines, swathers and windrowers.
Headers are designed for specific crops. For instance, corn headers strip the stalks and leaves from the corn. Draper headers are used to cut wheat, while flex headers harvest soybeans and cereal crops.
Choose Tractor Transport to ship your farm header. Since farm headers come in all shapes and sizes, you'll need to decide which type of trailer your equipment requires. Smaller farm headers can ship aboard a flatbed trailer, while larger headers will require a step-deck trailer or RGN trailer.
Sometimes you can ship your header on the same trailer as your harvester. If both fit on one trailer, you'll save money. Another option: Shipping your header aboard a hotshot trailer. Hotshot trailers are lightweight trailers, similar to step-deck trailers, that are pulled by pickup trucks. Farm headers fit perfectly on a hotshot trailer.
