Make a difference by volunteering to help over 200 rescued animals at an inspiring centre located on the edge of the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador.
This sanctuary is home to a variety of animals that have been mistreated in the past and now have the opportunity to live out the rest of their lives in comfort and safety. These animals come for a variety of backgrounds. Some have been kept in small cages in poorly run zoos, others have been kept illegally as pets or used as part of the illegal pet trade, and some have been injured on roads or by people. The sanctuary endeavours to rehabilitate all animals where possible.
You will be living in the heart of the sanctuary that spreads through roughly 8 hectares of beautiful Ecuadorian woodland. There are about 35 different species who need volunteers to help feed and provide enrichments. If you are looking to start a career in animal management and other related disciplines, then this is a great way to gain unique work experience. There are animals that live in the sanctuary who have constant interaction with staff and volunteers. There are also those that inhabit wonderful islands to enable them to not become accustomed to human interaction and live as wildly as is possible.
Volunteers help with the day to day running of the sanctuary to ensure that the animals enjoy a good quality of life. Jobs include food preparation, feeding, providing enrichments, cleaning enclosures, building structures, general maintenance and cooking and cleaning for fellow volunteers.
Volunteers are accommodated right in the centre of the sanctuary in one of three log cabins which house between 4 and 6 people in bunk beds. There are shared bathroom facilities with hot and cold showers. WiFi is available but limited and there is access to a swimming pool which is much appreciated after a long and muggy day working outside in tropical temperatures! Hammocks outside the accommodation and a lounge area inside allow for volunteers to relax during the hot midday temperatures and humid evenings.
Food is provided on weekdays and prepared between volunteers. You have access to a well-equipped kitchen.

Testers gain and then hold information about a product. This information can be distilled into an answer to the question "who would be upset about this?". The answer to this question determines who to share that information with, and when.


The environmental debate is an increasingly important factor in shaping the political and corporate landscape. Traditionally, specialist environmental liability insurance has been costly and complicated, with most businesses relying on the cover provided by either public liability or property insurance.
But increasing regulatory scrutiny means that this could prove insufficient. The Biba-approved environmental liability scheme, offered by Gallagher London, aims to cover those risks not currently insured against by existing policies, while also offering brokers access to a growth sector of the market.
The result was a scheme launched in May last year at the Biba conference, primarily aimed at brokers wishing to target the SME market.
This was a direct response to Defra's Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations introduced across England in March last year, and later across the rest of the UK. This implemented the EU Environmental Liability Directive (ELD), passed in April 2007, designed to tighten European regulation on pollution incidents and emphasise the 'polluter pays' principle.
The ELD may have acted as a trigger, but Newson says that UK legislation had already become sufficiently tight to render most public liability and property products impractical in covering pollution incidents.
"The ELD created a dialogue around legislation and how customers are protected from the consequences of the penalties," she says. The Bartoline case – when pollutants were released into two watercourses following a fire at the adhesives manufacturer – was also a factor.
RSA refused to repay the costs, saying that clean-up costs did not come under its definition of 'damages'. A court backed this up, as the costs had arisen due to statutory obligation rather than a legal claim for recompense. An appeal was withdrawn following an out-of-court settlement, but the ruling highlighted the exclusions in existing policies that many clients had relied on to cover pollution incidents.
Gallagher then approached ACE Europe to underwrite a product that was SME-focused and not too expensive.
to be processed online, giving brokers a quick, easy way to get quotes and issue policy documents. For more complex risks – for instance, those dealing with properties outside the UK or for larger contracting clients – Gallagher provides an offline wholesaler broker service to Biba members.
Both online and offline forms of the product offer preferential rates to Biba members, with premiums starting at £400 per policy and excesses from £2,500. It also includes free first-party business interruption cover.
Given the relatively recent nature of the environmental liability market, Gallagher has spent much time educating brokers about both the need for it and the opportunities that it offers.
Newson has overall responsibility for the scheme and is involved with the team that handles offline claims, but environmental sales director Lorraine Thomson has responsibility for showcasing it to Biba members. From October she has taken part in presentations at Biba regional conferences and other market forums, and has hosted monthly web seminar sessions.
As well as going through why the product is necessary, what it does and how it can be accessed, these free sessions identify the wide variety of businesses that can benefit from the scheme. Far from just the traditional manufacturing clients, these include service companies that may use chemicals on-site, such as hotels and dry cleaners, and companies near protected habitats.
Newson thinks that the sheer variety of clients who could, unconsciously, be at risk from insufficient cover around environmental incidents is a good reason for brokers to look at the scheme.
But apart from the stick of increasingly strict legislation, both Newson and Thomson see great opportunities for brokers as this section of the market grows.
"Fifteen or 20 years ago directors' and officers' liability was an add-on to a public liability policy and only about 20% of the biggest customers had it," Newson says. "Then it turned into a standalone market and now every publicly traded company purchases it.


Below you find a list of projects that I was involved in when I was working with Humboldt-University's CAC group.
Within the DIANA project the project partners research tele-teaching in a networked environment based on gigabit technology. The novelty of this project lies in the use of standard middleware (in particular CORBA) for streaming the video to the remote site. Additionally, CORBA is utilized for controlling the local and remote equipment. Another topic is reliability, an aspect not investigated in similar tele-teaching projects.
Tele-teaching is a technique used for enhancing the learning experience of students by allowing them to attend lectures from remote sites. An aspect, which is not well researched yet, is remote practicing and training. When we enable students to attend lectures remotely, why don't we help them to practice their knowledge the same way?
Our tele-laboratory project enables students to controll »real« equipment, such as a Khepera robot or an inverted pendulums, remotely. The most challenging problem in a tele-laboratory is ensuring the safety of the equipment, since in an instructional situation it is likely that student-supplied software will fail in possibly dangerous ways, which results in damage of the equipment. We use several advanced controlling techniques together with the online-replacement principle to tackle that problem. Prototypes of the system are deployed at UIUC (inverted pendulum experiment) and HUB (Khepera robot experiment).
We worked on CORBA-based frameworks for fault-tolerant and real-time computing. In this context we are researching several techniques for enhancing the real-time and fault-tolerance properties of today's CORBA without touching the ORB directly.

Q: Create a url with a route/waypoint I have a java application which connects to a GPS,and intermittently save the geolocation. And based on a list of GPS coordinates(lat/long), I want to create a google maps URL/link with all the coordinates. This URL will then be added to a email and forwarded to the users email account.
I can create a static map like this,

but if there is more than 40 or so waypoints, then url becomes to long and I get a HTTP error 414
I would like to create a link to dynamic google map, and have the link hold about 100 waypoints as a maximum.
Any google maps experts out there??

It was Hubert Lenoir's night at the ADISQ Gala Sunday
The story of the night at the ADISQ Gala Sunday was 24-year-old singer-songwriter Hubert Lenoir who won three Félix trophies.
It was La Soirée Hubert Lenoir at the ADISQ Gala on Sunday night.
And that, by the way, is very much a good thing. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter from Quebec City is an incredible talent and his debut album Darlène is one of the more exciting Québécois albums to come along in ages. The eclectic collection, that has 11 songs and runs just 36 minutes, roams effortlessly from '70s glam rock to chanson to jazzy instrumentals.
Lenoir's album won for pop album of the year at the Gala, which is the awards ceremony dedicated to rewarding the best in Quebec music. He was also voted discovery of the year and perhaps most impressive of all, his impossibly-catchy tune Fille de personne II won in the public-vote category as song of the year, one of the night's most prestigious honours.
Lenoir turned heads at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in Place des Arts with his provocative look, sporting a long flowing white robe/dress with the word ANTHRAX featured prominently on it. Many on social media were saying his style reminded them of 1980s British new-wave star Adam Ant but backstage, unsurprisingly, Lenoir said he'd never heard of Ant, the frontman of Adam and the Ants.
He also caused much commotion on social media with his speeches after accepting the first two awards, as discovery and pop album.
"For those who feel that I'm different, that I'm weird, it's always a question of perception," said Lenoir. "And for the youth of today in Quebec, I just want to say: 'You're wack'."
He also underlined how special it was to win the Félix for pop album for an album that is 40 per cent instrumental music.
"It's a victory for music, and it's a victory for artists, and it's a victory for a new generation of musicians," said Lenoir.
Asked backstage about the negative reaction to his comments and his look, Lenoir said he couldn't care less.
"It's cool to win the trophy for pop album for an album that doesn't really follow the conventions of the usual pop album," he said. "The only thing that I care about is the music. … This shows to young musicians that you can make an album that can get recognized. We can make music the way we want. We have the right to dream, as clichéd as that might sound. I'm thinking of a whole bunch of musicians that I've collaborated with, some are very underground, and this is a victory for all of us. You shouldn't just listen to what's played on the radio or on the traditional media. Keep the dream alive and remarkable things will happen."
Lenoir wasn't the only challenging artist to take home hardware Sunday night. Hip-hop artist Loud nabbed the trophy for hip-hop album for Une année record, and Philippe Brach, who makes absolutely unique progressive music, won for best show by a singer-songwriter and as singer-songwriter of the year with co-writer La Controverse. Maybe the most notable breakthrough win was Klô Pelgag winning the public-vote prize as female artist of the year. This usually goes to fairly mainstream pop stars and so it's interesting that the winner was Pelgag, who makes daring arty fare.

Pierre Lapointe took home the Félix for adult-contemporary album for La science du coeur, 2Frères won as group of the year (proving that mainstream radio-ready acts could still win) and Patrice Michaud was named male artist of the year.
Louis-José Houde was, as always, totally hilarious, with a brilliant opening monologue, though he wasn't all that present as the night wore on. Definitely the most moving moment came with the tribute to legendary 1970s progressive rock band Harmonium, with a performance by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. Harmonium leader Serge Fiori was visibly blown away by the homage.
"I thought the only way to ensure longevity is to record 15-minute songs with words that no one understands," joked Fiori.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in the crowd and he reacted with a smile when rocker Yann Perreau harshly criticized him from the stage.
Perreau riffed on the famous Gilles Vigneault song Mon Pays, to suggest Trudeau had sold out to the big oil companies with his government's purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline for $4.5 billion.
"Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver selon Gilles Vigneault. Mais pour Justin Trudeau, Mon pays, ce n'est pas un pays, mais une pétrolière." (My country isn't a country, it's winter, according to Gilles Vigneault. But for Justin Trudeau, my country is not a country, it's an oil company.)
Correction: An earlier version of this story gave an incorrect location for the gala. It was at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier of Place des Arts.

Pain Management and Symptom Control - The Connecticut Hospice Inc.
The control of pain and other adverse symptoms is central to Connecticut Hospice's mission to optimize the quality of life for our patients and their families. Our physicians and advanced practice registered nurses provide expert level management of pain, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, and other symptoms with the goal of making patients symptom free, while maintaining as much alertness and function as possible. .
This professional expertise, combined with access to rapid medication and dose adjustment in our 53 bed Branford hospital make possible control of pain rarely achieved in other health care settings. Our physicians, nurses, and pharmacists work collaboratively to evaluate and rapidly control pain and other symptoms, both inpatient and at home. Artists, social workers, clergy, nurses, and professional and lay volunteers help our patients and their families work through emotional, existential, and spiritual pain. The team reviews patients' progress regularly, with consultants (e.g., psychiatry) complementing the medical and nursing staffs.
Before admitting anyone to the Hospice program, our team confers with each patient's primary physician. Those who elect our home hospice program may keep their primary physician, or may choose a hospice physician for their care. For those admitted to our Branford hospital, care is assumed by a hospice and palliative care physician or advanced practice nurse practitioner, and primary physicians are invited to collaborate with our inpatient staff. Whatever the case, aggressive symptom management remains a primary goal, and hospice physicians are available 24/7 for symptom management..
Our care plans, created by experts and combined with immediate access to specialist level practitioners, allow our nurses to rapidly respond to the evolving challenges of advanced illness. Some symptoms are relieved by simple measures such as repositioning, massage, relaxation techniques, and distraction through arts and other activities. Other require potent medications used in the inpatient setting by experts in the field. Connecticut Hospice provides both.
In treating the patient, the Hospice physician and pharmacist are guided by repeated assessments, with adjustments in medications, and times of administration so that the patient will be as comfortable as possible.
An important principle in The Connecticut Hospice approach is that drug doses are carefully adjusted to each patient's physical make-up. This assures pain relief without loss of alertness. The Connecticut Hospice goal is to control symptoms while maintaining optimum functioning.
At Hospice, the patient's needs dictate the medication level. Medications are administered on a regular schedule, to eliminate not only pain, but also the fear of pain. Ease of administering is a key consideration also.
When a medication is not available commercially in the exact dosage needed, the Connecticut Hospice pharmacist is able to meet individual needs. An active participant in patient care, the pharmacist attends morning rounds and weekly team meetings, serving as a source for current drug information and a consultant for changing drug regiments. Both the Hospice pharmacist and physician strive to educate others on the goals and parameters of hospice caregiving. Advances in symptom control present diversified and constant challenges. As Hospice physicians and pharmacists discharge their demanding duties, they are in the forefront of palliative care. Hospice remains identified by its excellence of symptom management and support.e spared injections whenever possible to make their lives more comfortable. Over 90 percent of the medications at Hospice are taken orally. Because of this, it is often possible for patients to be cared for at home.

The Psychology of Being Scammed
I love reading about social engineering type stuff, and this paper (PDF) by Paul Wilson and Frank Stajano is ideal Christmas after turkey reading. Schneier has the low down as usual.
This is a very interesting paper: "Understanding scam victims: seven principles for systems security," by Frank Stajano and Paul Wilson. Paul Wilson produces and stars in the British television show The Real Hustle, which does hidden camera demonstrations of con games. Frank Stajano is at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge.
The paper describes a dozen different con scenarios — entertaining in itself — and then lists and explains six general psychological principles that con artists use:
The distraction principle. While you are distracted by what retains your interest, hustlers can do anything to you and you won't notice.
The social compliance principle. Society trains people not to question authority. Hustlers exploit this "suspension of suspiciousness" to make you do what they want.
The herd principle. Even suspicious marks will let their guard down when everyone next to them appears to share the same risks. Safety in numbers? Not if they're all conspiring against you.
The dishonesty principle. Anything illegal you do will be used against you by the fraudster, making it harder for you to seek help once you realize you've been had.
The deception principle. Things and people are not what they seem. Hustlers know how to manipulate you to make you believe that they are.
The need and greed principle. Your needs and desires make you vulnerable. Once hustlers know what you really want, they can easily manipulate you.
It all makes for very good reading. Two previous posts on the psychology of conning and being conned.
Talking of Schneier, he was talking in London on the 11th December and although I was in town I couldn't make the event. Luckily someones recorded the lot and put it up online.
Bruce Schneier did a benefit gig for Open Rights Group last Friday and here's the video of his 'Future of Privacy' talk and the 45-minute Q&A.

For lovers of cross-country skiing there are trails in the length of more than 10km. Access to the trails is from the top chairlift station, where skiers can be transported by the chairlift.
In the event of good snow conditions, the Regional Tourism Organisation of the Region Banská Štiavnica guarantees grooming of a 12km route from Veterné sedlo through Rosniarky to Červená studňa and back for classic-style skiing (if possible, also for skating-style skiing and other routes as well).

We believe influences everything in life: career, relationships, health and overall well-being. It seems sensible that is really what you will learn about here: commanding your ideas for a tension and anxiety free life and that we control our ideas to get a better life.
Pressure. It appears everyone on the highway now and even people shopping here at the mall are distressed. They may be responding to life as opposed to loving each special minute that's a present of our universe.
Occasionally, even now, I get stressed also. Normally its spell work, financing, the best way to get where I'd like to really go. What do I do? I return back to the systems, the customs to eliminate tension.
I occasionally find if they're open to hearing or receiving the message that you just will read here -- those individuals which are close to me get nervous, stressed and I Will share. When used, it always helps. Constantly.
Are you aware that anxiety is a major factor to most human ailments? That is correct. Medically demonstrated. You most likely know this already.
Might it be important worry free and to live as much as possible nervous? You bet.
Now, tonight, tomorrow.. Every thing you care about that cash did not purchase including your health your life, could be gone. Only like that. Here is another fact: nothing that you were stressing around mattered. Nothing.
Take actions on what I'm going to share. It's going to really make a difference.
1. Be Thankful. Daily, first thing, consider the positive things in your life: your present health, your relationships, your chances accessible to you personally or looking forward to your discovery, the principles of living are covered, the reality which you own a head that ascertains the quality of your own life and no one can take that from you! Enormous deal there.
2. A Positive Morning Custom. I like to take at least 5 minutes for comfortable or concentrated meditation. Centered meditation is a practice of mind control for an object in life/livelihood. Comfortable meditation is for slowing down the head and simply becoming conscious. It is an excellent feeling. Perhaps you simply relaxed reading or favor a workout routine. Be sure to do something to start your day that's not neutral.
3. Be Type. Do at least one mindful type act for another. Even a smile and kind word to your partner, friend, coworker, bank teller, waiter server; anyone.Be sort to yourself. Treat yourself right in every manner. What you give your body in sustenance, exercise, can do time and thinking for what you adore.


Engineering and Foundry Supplies was started in June 1978 by Michael Frost based on an idea by his father Eric who worked in the foundry supplies trade. He noticed that there was a niche market for foundry supplies and so he decided to purchase a VW van and proceeded to stock it up with foundry supplies.
Michael soon became a major supplier to foundries in the Lancashire and Yorkshire area. As the orders came in by phone and by post a regular 'round' was established and the Engineering and Foundry Supplies business continued to grow….
Soon Michael was joined by his sister Janet to help with the day to day running of the business and book keeping. A few years later they were joined by their brother Stephen who had previously been in the Royal Navy and had been working in a local foundry. By the early eighties, Engineering and Foundry Supplies had outgrown their home run business and had moved in to their current premises at Phillips Lane in Colne, Lancashire.
It is now an established UK supplier of industrial cleaning products, uniforms supplies, corporate wear, personal protective clothing, Personal Protective Equipment, PPE, industrial hardware and tools supplies, embroidery service, screen printing service and Alpha Mill first aid supplies. As a company it has branched out with a wide range of products and now supply all industries and offer a laundry service as well.
Engineering and Foundry Supplies are the official stockist of Morganite Crucibles for the North of England who are the largest manufacturer in the UK if not the world. Engineering and Foundry Supplies are well known for sourcing a wide variety of items no matter how obscure.

Ты́ргу-Му́реш (, , ) — город в Румынии, в регионе Трансильвания, административный центр жудеца Муреш.

Этимология
Названия города на румынском, венгерском и немецком языках переводятся как «рынок на реке Муреш».

Население
Население — 127,8 тыс. жителей (2011).

Длительное время большинство населения составляли венгры, сейчас венгров и румын в городе приблизительно поровну. В 1952—1968 город был столицей Венгерской (Муреш-Венгерской) автономной области.

История
Город расположен на месте древнего скифского городища. Впервые упоминается в папском реестре под названием Novum Forum Siculorum в 1332 году и как Sekulvasarhel (Székelyvásárhely) в 1349 году.

Как и многие другие города Трансильвании, он долгое время являлся оборонительным пунктом. Первая церковь, которая стояла на месте сегодняшней крепостной церкви, была разрушена в ходе нашествия монголов. Затем она была перестроена францисканцами в готическом стиле между 1260 и 1446 годами (строилась почти 200 лет).

В 1405 году король Венгрии Сигизмунд Люксембургский дал право городу устраивать ярмарки. В 1470 году король Матиаш Корвин объявил город Марош-Вашархельи (Marosvásárhely) королевской резиденцией. Позднее, в 1492 году, городской воевода Иштван Баторий (Батори) основал здесь крепость и монастырь.

В Марош-Вашархельи несколько раз собирался Трансильванский Сейм. Сейм 1571 года провозгласил свободу вероисповедания для кальвинистов, католиков, униатов и лютеран княжества Трансильвания. В 1595 году граждане Марош-Вашархельи поддержали валашского воеводу и господаря Михая Храброго в его турецком походе. В 1601—1602 годах город был разрушен австрийскими наемниками генерала Басты, искоренявшего трансильванских протестантов. 29 апреля 1616 года Габор Бетлен, ставший в 1613 году князем Трансильвании и «взявший старт» на Венгерскую корону, предоставил Марош-Вашархельи статус вольного королевского города.

В 1791 году венгерский энциклопедист Дьёрдь Аранка основал в Марош-Вашархельи Общество Лингвистики (было закрыто в 1810 году). В 1799 году венгерский канцлер Самуэль Телеки-старшего (1739—1822) основал в Марош-Вашархельи Публичную библиотеку (долгое время носившую имя Телеки и ныне насчитывающую 200 000 томов).

В 1849 году в городе Марош-Вашархельи останавливался, по пути в Сигишоару, венгерский поэт сербо-словацкого происхождения Шандор Петёфи. Дом Гёрёга, в котором переночевал Петёфи, сохранился до наших дней. С городом Марош-Вашархельи (Тыргу-Мурешем) связаны также имена польского генерала Юзефа Бема (его штаб-квартира располагалась в Доме Телеки, сохранившемся до наших дней); видных румынских деятелей: революционера Аврама Янку, лингвистов Петру Майора и Папиу-Илариана, поэта Михая Эминеску.

В 1952 году Тыргу-Муреш стал столицей Муреш-Венгерской автономной области (МВАО). По мнению ряда политологов XX века, Тыргу-Муреш (Марош-Вашархельи) de facto можно назвать «последней столицей Трансильвании».

В 1956 году «Секуритате» провела в Тыргу-Муреше (и в других городах и сёлах Трансильвании) массовые аресты лиц, замеченных в сочувствии Венгерской национальной революции. Они были осуждены на различные сроки заключения, некоторые умерли в тюрьме, другие были расстреляны при попытке побега.

В 1959 году Тыргу-Муреш посетил Георге Георгиу-Деж. В 1962 году бухарестское издательство «Меридианы» выпустило в свет брошюру этнического венгра Дьёрдя Ковача, «Тыргу-Муреш» (на нескольких языках, в том числе на русском), снабжённую большим количеством чёрно-белых фотоснимков и ставшую своеобразным памятником уничтоженной в 1968 году «гением Карпат» Николае Чаушеску Венгерской автономии в Румынии. В брошюре зафиксирован наглядный пример практиковавшегося в Венгерской АО официального двуязычия (при непременном, конечно же, старшинстве румынского языка): на главной гостинице Тыргу-Муреша красуется вывеска «hotel TRANSILVANIA szallo».

В марте 1990 года в Тыргу-Муреше происходили вооружённые стычки венгерских националистов и румынских сторонников Георге Фунара. Итог: 5 убитых, 278 раненых. В 1992 году официальное двуязычие в Тыргу-Муреше было восстановлено. С национально-территориальной автономией дело, однако, обстоит сложнее… В 2009 году венгерские активисты выдвинули идею создания политико-административного тела, именуемого: Секейский край. Который территориально на 70-80 % совпадает с МВАО, юридически же получает двойную преемственность:
 Ближайшую — от МВАО.
 Легитимно-трансильванскую — от средневековой «Земли Секеев».
12 марта 2010 года в городе Сфынту-Георге состоялся II съезд мэров и советников Секейского края. Главным решением съезда стало придание венгерскому языку официального статуса на региональном уровне. Центральные органы власти Румынии не признали законности решений I и II съездов. 20 мая 2011 г. Демократический союз венгров Румынии (ДСВР) создал в Тыргу-Муреше Административный совет Секейского края, состоящий из представителей ДСВР в администрации уездов Муреш, Харгита и Ковасна…

15 марта 2014 года Валентин Бретфелеану, начальник полиции Тыргу-Муреша, приказал разогнать состоявшуюся в этот день мирную демонстрацию за Секейский край. ДСВР заявил свой протест. Ведущие политические партии Южного Тироля и Страны Басков заявили о своей солидарности с патриотами Секейского края.

Достопримечательности
 Вознесенский собор — самый большой храм города.
 Благовещенская церковь — православный (ранее грекокатолический) храм, построенный по образцу Собора Святого Петра в Риме.
 Церковь Архангела Михаила — деревянная церковь, старейший православный храм в городе.

Plant health inspectors will now be able to gain recognition as part of a new professional register from the Royal Society of Biology.
After a successful pilot in which the RSB recognised 13 inspectors, the register is now open for applications from those in government agencies, with the aim of registering 300 plant health professionals by 2018.
Dr Celia Knight FRSB, chair of the register's advisory board said: "UK Government departments have been very receptive to the idea; we have been pushing at an open door.
Further development work is ongoing to extend the Plant Health Professional Register to relevant sectors outside government agencies.
The Society also recognises professional biologists through our wider register, Chartered Biologist (CBiol); and under licence from Science Council we offer: Registered Science Technician (RSciTech), Registered Scientist (RSci), Chartered Science Teacher (CSciTeach) and Chartered Scientist (CSci).
Professional recognition signifies skills, knowledge and commitment to self-development. The registers provide a pathway to progression and can mark a career milestone with increasing expertise. They are nationally recognised professional awards which demand commitment to continuous improvement by undertaking continuing professional development (CPD).

They say you can't take it with you, but apparently the designers of portable computers don't believe this. Most of the recent buzz has been about hand-held devices–Web-enabled cell phones, color PDAs, and other miniature marvels–but the notebook makers aren't idly watching the technology parade go by.
Donning the familiar cases of the notebooks we've come to take for granted are new models with new features that expand the power and extend the life of systems that outperform the desktop powerhouses of past years. You'll find new generations of processors that are smart enough to save power aggressively. There are new display panels that give you larger, more detailed images than you get from many desktop monitors. New designs add standard features that make it easy to cut the network cable and the power cable, setting your notebook free. And if you don't need the power of a desktop system, you can choose from some remarkably small and light portables.

Indigenous Protestors File Suit in Brazil After Violent Eviction in Rio
More than a week after the Brazilian Police�s Shock Battalion evicted indigenous and allied protestors using tear gas, pepper spray and batons from a contested site in Rio de Janeiro near one of the country�s top sports stadiums, attorneys for the Tamoio Movement of Original Peoples (TMOP) have filed suit at the Federal Public Ministry to halt the eviction and prevent the demolition of the old museum.
On March 22, close to 200 agents of the Shock Battalion marched into the area and attacked the gathered protestors with tear gas and pepper spray, forcing the removal of the last residents of the Aldeia Maracana and arresting at least six indigenous people from the area.
The TMOP, representing the various Indigenous Peoples who have been settling around the former Indian Museum in Rio de Janeiro, filed the lawsuit and issued a press statement on Monday, April 1st. In their statement the TMOP gave an overview of their activities in the area and their negotiations with local and federal authorities.
The conflict over the site dates back to 2006 when Indigenous Peoples began to occupy the area around the museum which had been closed and abandoned, by building huts and reclaiming the area for its historical and spiritual significance to indigenous people in Brazil. The former Indian Museum sits on property next to the Maracana Stadium, one of the sites for the upcoming 2014 World Cup soccer games.
Since the occupation, the TMOP asserted that indigenous activists have developed programs for use in local schools and universities for the purpose of ��deconstructing the distorted history of our peoples in the majority of textbooks�� as well as start to build a small community dedicated to preserving indigenous history and culture. The community members of the TMOP are from the Pataxo, Tukano, Guarani, Puri, Apurina, Tupinamba, Kaingang and Satere-Mauwe peoples and they refer to their settlement as the Maracana Village.
The press statement also noted the reaction of the Indigenous Peoples to the actions of the Shock Battalion troops.
�We want to reaffirm that we repudiate the barbaric and inhuman way that we were treated by Military Police by order of the government, disrespecting that which was established in the document of reintegration� While the military police used pepper spray, tear gas bombs, rubber bullets and sonic weapons against us, all we had to defend us were only our maracas and our songs evoking our ancestors.�
The TMOP activists also said that they were approaching various government officials, such as the Minister of Agriculture, to negotiate a way of preserving the contested area to include a possible indigenous reference center.
They also noted that, ��the property of the old Indian Museum, located in the historic center of resistance Tupinamb� and Tamoia against the Portuguese invasion… There were the spirits of our ancestors and it was time to return home.�

5-HTP 50mg 100c by Douglas Labs is a natural and safe alternative to tryptophan. L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is used by the body to synthesize seratonin, a neurohormone needed for melatonin production, appetite regulation, and mood regulation. 5-HTP is a natural product extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia plant, unlike tryptophan, which is produced synthetically or through bacterial fermentation. 50 mg. of 5-HTP is roughly equivalent to 500 mg. of tryptophan. Certified free of ""Peak X"".
AMNI's 5-HTP capsules contain a natural source of L-5-Hydroxytryptophan extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia plant.
As a dietary supplement, adults take 1 to 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Harry Rosin (* 1943) ist ein deutscher Mediziner. Als Leiter einer Forschungsgruppe am Hygiene-Institut Dortmund entwickelte er zusammen mit Hans Preisendanz zwischen 1989 und 1992 ein FCKW- und FKW-freies Kühlaggregat für Kühlschränke.

Leben
Rosin studierte Medizin, wurde 1968 approbiert und 1970 in Hamburg promoviert. 1975 habilitierte er sich und erhielt die Venia legendi für Mikrobiologie und Virologie an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. Er wirkte dort ab 1979 als Professor für Mikrobiologie und Virologie. Von 1987 bis 1988 war er als kommissarische Vertretung des Lehrstuhls für Medizin, Mikrobiologie und Virologie tätig. 1989 übernahm Rosin die Leitung des Instituts für Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Virologie der Universität Dortmund und war bis zu dessen Auflösung im Jahr 2000 Direktor der Einrichtung in der Moorenstraße.

Rosin bemühte sich, einen weniger bedenklichen Ersatz für die  Kältemittel FCKW und FKW zu finden. Er vertrat die Ansicht, dass das von der Firma DuPont patentierte FKW, das die FCKWs ersetzen sollte, auf gefährliche Weise in den Zitronensäurezyklus eingreife und somit eine große Bedrohung für die Biosphäre darstelle. Zusammen mit Preisendanz gelang es Rosin, aus mehreren Kohlenwasserstoffen eine halogenfreie Kältemittelmischung zu finden. Die Hausgeräteindustrie zeigte jedoch an dem neuen Verfahren wenig Interesse und hielt an den herkömmlichen Kältemitteln fest.

Zusammen mit Greenpeace gelang es nach dem Ende der DDR, die "Dortmunder Mischung" mit dem VEB DKK Scharfenstein, der späteren Foron, umzusetzen, die sich damit auch auf dem gesamtdeutschen Markt zu behaupten versuchte. 1993 wurde die Foron Hausgeräte GmbH mit dem Deutschen Umweltpreis für die Umsetzung der Kühlmittelanwendung ausgezeichnet. Nach der Markteinführung des ersten Öko-Kühlschrankes "Greenfreeze" von Foron entwickelten die meisten Kühlschrankhersteller ähnliche Systeme.

Gemeinsam mit dem Toxikologen Otmar Wassermann arbeitete Rosin an einem neuen Recycling-Verfahren für Kunststoffe und Elektronikschrott. Das von Rosin so genannte Kryo-Recycling zur stofflichen Wiederverwertung wurde noch nicht in einer Pilotanlage realisiert.

Rosin lebt heute in Erkrath.

Ehrungen
Im Jahre 2000 erhielt Rosin zusammen mit Preisendanz das Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande für die Durchsetzung von FCKW-freier Kühltechnik.

Q: javascript / PHP file upload I'm using an audio recorder from this place
http://webaudiodemos.appspot.com/AudioRecorder/index.html,
but I instead of saving the file locally I would like to upload it back to the server. My best shot was to try to modify the  Recorder.setupDownload function in recording.js script to pass the blob it creates to a simple upload PHP script I found here:
<?php
if(isset($_FILES['image'])){
    $errors= array();
    $file_name = $_FILES['recording']['name'];
    $file_size =$_FILES['recording']['size'];
    $file_tmp =$_FILES['recording']['tmp_name'];
    $file_type=$_FILES['recording']['type'];
    $file_ext=strtolower(end(explode('.',$_FILES['image']['name'])));
    $extensions = array("wav");
    if(in_array($file_ext,$extensions )=== false){
     $errors[]="extension not allowed, please choose wav file."
    }
    if($file_size > 2097152){
    $errors[]='File size under 20MB';
    }
    if(empty($errors)==true){
        move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,"images/".$file_name);
        echo "Success";
    }else{
        print_r($errors);
    }
}
?>

And I'm tring it using a jquery call,
    $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "../scripts/Single-File-Upload-With-PHP.php",
            data: blob
    });

But I'm obviously doing something wrong. The original PHP script has a form in it
used for input, which I commented out trying to call the php code directly.
So my questions would be;

*

*how to modify the Recorder.setupDownload to upload the file to a
designated folder?

*how to report back when something goes wrong?

Or alternatively, is there a more elegant solution?
Edit: Regarding what's in the blob
This is how the blob is being defined in recorder.js:
worker.onmessage = function(e){
      var blob = e.data;
      currCallback(blob);
}

As to my understanding it is created with methods listed in recorderWorker.js (link in comments), and it should contain simply a wav file.

A: I dont think you should create the blob in the worker, but I had a similar setup (actually based on the same example) where I retrieved the samplebuffers from the worker and save them into the m_data fields of an AudioMixer class that did some stuff to the recording, then:
//! create a wav file as blob
WTS.AudioMixer.prototype.createAudioBlob = function( compress ){
    // the m_data fields are simple arrays with the sampledata
    var dataview = WTS.AudioMixer.createDataView( this.m_data[ 0 ], this.m_data[ 1 ], this.m_sampleRate );
    return( new Blob( [ dataview ], { type:'audio/wav' } ) );
}

WTS.AudioMixer.createDataView = function( buffer1, buffer2, sampleRate ){
    var interleaved = WTS.AudioMixer.interleave( buffer1, buffer2 );
    // here I create a Wav from the samplebuffers and return a dataview on it
    // the encodeWAV is not provided..
    return( WTS.AudioMixer.encodeWAV( interleaved, false, sampleRate ) );
}

then to send it to the server
var blob = this.m_projectView.getAudioEditView().getAudioMixer().createAudioBlob();
if( blob ){
    //! create formdata (as we don't have an input in a DOM form)
    var fd = new FormData();
    fd.append( 'data', blob );

    //! and post the whole thing @TODO open progress bar
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: WTS.getBaseURI() + 'mixMovie',
        data: fd,
        processData: false,
        contentType: false
    } );
}

and I had a node server running where the blob was sent to and could be picked up directly as a wav file, using the express node module:
var express = require( 'express' );

// we use express as app framework
var app = express();

/** mixMovie expects a post with the following parameters:
  * @param 'data' the wav file to mux together with the movie
  */
app.post( '/mixMovie', function( request, response ){

    var audioFile = request.files.data.path;
    ....

} );

hope this helps..

A: In the end this worked nicely for me:
recorder.js:
$.ajax(
      {
       url: "./scripts/upload.php?id=" + Math.random(),
       type: "POST",
       data: fd,
       processData: false,
       contentType: false,
       success: function(data){
                    alert('Your message has been saved. \n Thank you :-)');
                }
       });

And the upload script itself:
<?php
if(isset($_FILES['data']))
{
    echo $_FILES['data']["size"];
    echo $_FILES['data']["type"];
    echo $_FILES['data']["tmp_name"];

    $name = date(YmdHis) . '.wav';

    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['data']["tmp_name"],"../DEST_FOLDER/" . $name);

}
?>


so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

High-ranking separatist commander killed in eastern Ukraine
By Radina Gigova, CNN
Updated 1523 GMT (2323 HKT) May 25, 2015
File photo: Alexei Mozgovoi speaks to the Associated Press on November 8, 2014.
A separatist commander in eastern Ukraine was killed, his battalion announced
A pro-Ukrainian guerrilla group claims responsibility
(CNN) A high-ranking separatist commander was killed in eastern Ukraine when his car was attacked in Luhansk region, his battalion announced in a video statement Sunday.
Alexei Mozgovoi, commander of the Prizrak, or Ghost, Battalion, was the target of the attack, Ukrainian and Russian media both reported.
A pro-Ukrainian guerrilla group called Shadows claimed responsibility for the attack, according to its leader, Aleksandr Gladkiy.
A pro-separatist news outlet confirmed Mazgovoi's death, citing one of his battalion officers. The officer blamed "enemies" for the commander's killing, but did not name a specific group.
According to Luhansk People's Republic officials, the vehicle in which Mozgovoi was traveling was blown up by a bomb and then fired upon with machine guns. Six others were also killed in the attack.
Despite a fragile ceasefire that was agreed to in February, shelling in eastern Ukraine continues and casualties continue to mount.


Meet The Poopy Pals Gang!
Sarge speaks and acts like a Sarge in the Army. He thinks he's the boss of the group! Sarge's tough-love mentality is the backbone of his personality. He's never one to pull back on giving 'fatherly' advice either!
This sweetheart of the bunch always looks on the good side of things. She's probably the smartest of them all, just don't expect this down-to-earth cutie to flaunt her intelligence!
Rex is one energetic puppy! For what he lacks in smarts he makes up for with pure enthusiasm. Rex LOVES eating, chasing his tail, and chatting with his friends!
This cat is very diverse. He takes care of his looks and may come off as shallow. But he knows weird facts and gossip like the back of his immacutely manicured paw!
Bailey is a purple Scottish Terrier with the Scottish accent to match! As a Mom, she makes things happen for the good of the group. She looks out for all her friends in a Motherly fashion.

Beyoncé's father says her success would get affected had she been of a darker shade!
The topic of colorism has always been a hot and debatable topic across the globe. And while it is a common thing to discuss among the general public and common people, the recent news states it clearly that the level of this discussion and the hype obout the same is at the same tangent amongst the hip hop celebs as well.
Beyoncé's father, Mathew knowles recently sat down at SiriusXM urban view with clay cane to initiate a conversation on this subject.
"In the music industry, there's still segregation, as you know," "There used to be the black division, race records and programmers, especially at pop radio, has this imagery of what beauty looks like. They wanted that imagery to be the same that's singing those records. If you look back, even like Whitney Houston, if you look at those photos, how they lighten her to make her look lighter complexion because there's a perception in colorism...the lighter you are the smarter, the more economically... all around the world about color, even with black folks, there's a perception." Knowles said.
How different do you think Beyoncé's career would have been if she were a darker skinned woman?" Cane questioned.
"I think it would have affected her success. I use Kelly Rowland [as] a great example," knowles replied.

Two months ago, we heard about the accident Richard Hammond got into while taping for a segment for the Grand Tour TV series. This accident forced the Hamster to spend some time off from the show, while James May co-hosts with Jeremy Clarkson.
A couple of days ago, we heard another bad news, but it involves Jeremy Clarkson this time. The 57-year-old TV personality and host had been admitted to a hospital located in Majorca, Spain, during a family vacation. He was diagnosed with a serious case of pneumonia.
We learned about this as Clarkson posted a photo on Instagram of his arm hooked up to an IV. He even makes a joke about it saying that the IV is not his usual accessory when on holiday. According to BBC, he also messaged his friend Jemima Goldsmith on Twitter saying that he is connected to tubes and is seated on a wheelchair in the hospital. Following that tweet was a post on his Drivetribe account as he thanks those who sent him well wishes.
Even though Jeremy Clarkson was kicked out of Top Gear for various reasons, we cannot deny that the guy has been very influential in the automotive world. He knows what he's saying so people trust him and his reviews even when there are times when he lets his emotions get in the way. Clarkson has a reputation of being one of the best presenters for car review shows and so people give him the credit for which he is due. Aside from his shows, the presenter also has a car review column in The Sunday Times.
Just recently, he shared his top 10 favorite cars of the past year or so. Although there are some who would strongly disagree with these choices, let's just say it's all because Clarkson is trying his best to become a "fair and balanced" reporter. Let's go take a quick glance at each of his picks and decide if there were models for which he had missed and if there are some questionable models on his list.
Clarkson mentions in his article that his co-presenter James May likes to call the certain sensation of driving a really good car "the fizz". He describes it as something like a manifestation of a car's excellence on the road through a fizzing sensation down the root of their manhood.
Cliché as it may be, we have been constantly reminded to not drink and drive. Friday nights can be a little tempting with some slight nudging from a few officemates and before you know it, you're down on your nth bottle of beer. We all know booze mixed with a few stupid stunts can get you into as much trouble as your mouth and actions can get you.
So while you're at it, think about downing the next bottle the night before an important appointment because you cannot undo what has been done. Regrets only happen after and never before an incident. This has been a lesson learned by former BBC "Top Gear" host Jeremy Clarkson as talks about a brand new show has been surfacing.
Clarkson has been well known for his gruff demeanour as well as a few antics under the influence of alcohol. But due to negotiations for his brand new show, Clarkson decided that it is time to be sober. Clarkson and his former Top Gear co-hosts Richard Ammond and James May as well as executive producer Andy Wilman have been reported to be undergoing a negotiation process for a $15 million deal with Netflix.
Read the entire article Jeremy Clarkson sobered up for the Amazon deal but will he stay that way?
