Post your job & get responses from refurb specialists in Belgravia. Read reviews before you decide to hire.
Brightstar modernised my 3 bed flat. They were reasonably priced, professional, finished a superb job on time and to budget and left the flat in pristine condition. They were also helpful and pleasant and I would give them the highest possible recommendation.
Mario and Aggie were excellent, hard working and reliable. Richard was also very prompt in all responses. Would highly recommend for all kinds of interior furnising jobs - from simple to creative and untraditional - nothing is too difficult for them.
Oskar was polite, friendly and efficient. He did a great job which we are very happy with. Paid as per original quote before works started. Highly recommend Racso building services. Fast email, text & call responses when needed and a fare quotation. Even came round late one evening to fix a leak (not related to the works) but came out nonetheless. Very much recommend.
I have found these guys as the best so far in my experience. Patient, paid extreme attention to details even things I missed, very cooperative, dedicated, kind and I mean, they are good. I am a Landlord with years of experience. If anything, I pray this guys go from strength to strength. You cannot have it better. Please join me in thanking these guys, they are God sent. They started and finished on time and in a most professional & INEXPENSIVE manner. Good luck to you guys too.
I'm a self-employed tradesman with 17 years experience in building industry. Providing services in decorating,plastering,tiling, flooring,carpentry,bathrooms kitchens.

Q: Nginx Welcome test page instead of homepage Server configuration :
Centos 7 + PHP7 + PHP-FPM + MariaDB 10 +Nginx as reverse proxy for Apache + Virtualmin
I'm new to setting up a server. I'm not sure where did I mess up and I have tried searching online and editing according to suggestion on Digital Ocean and many other forum but still no success. I always restart nginx, httpd and php-fpm after changes have been made.
I have 2 virtual servers, all of them open Nginx test page instead of their respective homepage.
I have been trying to configure but with no success. Please help.

A: Remove the below section from your nginx.conf
server {
    listen 80;

#    listen       [::]:80 default_server;

server_name _;
#root         /home/~;
root         /usr/share/nginx/html;

# Load configuration files for the default server block.
include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

error_page 404 /404.html;
    location = /40x.html {
}

error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
}
# zone which we want to limit by upper values, we want limit whole server
limit_conn conn_limit_per_ip 10;
limit_req zone=req_limit_per_ip burst=10 nodelay;

location ~* .(woff|eot|ttf|svg|mp4|webm|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
expires max;
}
gzip on;
access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  compression;

}
The server_name _; means any virtual host and hence it is the first thing to respond in your config. Rest of the virtual hosts are not consulted only
Edit - Aug 17
You have lot of mess in your configs, including includes from different directory. I would suggest you remove nginx and reinstall and modify the base config again. Also you are using httpd also in your setup.
The proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; means that anything that is not php is getting proxied to your httpd server and your actually root is not being used only.
Your try_files $uri $uri/ =404; should not be inside the location ~ \.php$ { block, rather it should be inside the location \ { block. Also there should be no proxy_pass in your location \ { block

EPSRC Funded PhD at University of Exeter - Pathological Biomechanics in Hip Joint
Junning Chen
[jche8767]
Biomechanics in Hip Structural Pathology and Associated Risk of Fracture - Engineering - EPSRC DTP funded PhD Studentship (Ref 2963)
This project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Training Partnership to commence in September 2018. The studentships will provide funding for a stipend which is currently £14,553 per annum for 2017-2018. It will provide research costs and UK/EU tuition fees at Research Council UK rates for 42 months (3.5 years) for full-time students, pro rata for part-time students. This project is in direct competition with others for funding; the projects which receive the best applicants will be awarded the funding.
Dr. Junning Chen
Professor Christopher Smith
Professor Rizhi Wang
Streatham Campus, Exeter
This project investigates microstructural changes in abnormal hip joint morphology by using microCT and inverse engineering, to provide biomechanical insights on clinical diagnosis, femur fracture risk and patient-specific treatment planning.
Over the last decade, an increasing effort has been dedicated in diagnosis and management of abnormal bone morphology at the hip joint, such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), due to its severe consequences including hip pain, restricted range of motion, degenerative arthritis and increasing fracture risk.
The NHS Foundation Trust estimated 30% for the general prevalence of FAI in U.K., and Warwick Hospital's survey suggested 55-78% in the elder population. In 2010, more than 2,400 invasive surgeries were conducted in England on FAI, costing from £6,000 to £11,000 in each case, without counting other conservative treatments or emergency associated with femur fracture. A recent study suggested that the economic cost for clinically significant FAI treatment and long-term care exceeded rotator cuff tear and knee ligament rupture, and close to knee osteoarthritis (£1.34 billion in 2010). In the meantime, there is a rising trend of FAI in young patients, with 90% prevalence in particular groups, such as soccer players and athletes. However, there is very little information on pathological difference for this young group to the elder, and there is no effective preventive measure implemented.
Despite the clinical and economic significance, several questions remain to be answered, 1) what is the 3-dimensional microstructural change in FAI behind morphological abnormality; 2) how such changes can be associated with standard clinical assessments, such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); 3) how the biomechanics of the femur is affected, such as its integrity and associated fracture risk; and 4) how to provide predictive prognosis after surgical treatment in FAI patients for the secondary fracture risk assessment.
This project aims to quantitatively analyse the microstructure variation in 17 cadaver femurs (elder population) scanned by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (hr-pQCT) and assess their biomechanical differences by subject-specificfinite element modelling. The research outcomes will 1) in biomechanics, revealthe influences of FAI on hip integrity and risk of fracture; 2) in biomedicalphysics, provide fundamental understanding of tissue responses to mechanicalstimulus at different stages of this pathological condition; 3) in clinicalpractise, develop a patient-specific framework for a) associating existingassessment methods for early diagnosis and b) customized surgical planning andin-silico testing platform for post-surgical fracture risk assessment.
The student will be required to perform
-image segmentation on pre-acquired hr-pQCT images
-structural analysis of cortical and trabecular bone conditions
-correlation to clinical assessments (performed by the collaboratingorthopaedic surgeons in Canada)
-reverse engineering modelling based on segmented image sets
-finite element analysis for alternated load distribution patterns and highrisk regions of fracture
-and potentially in-silico surgical simulation and analysis based on such asubject-specific platform.
The student will be encouraged to travel to University of British Columbia,Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre in Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, andtop international conferences to present the research outcome.
A successfulcandidate should have
-Outstanding inter-personal and communication skills to work in aninterdisciplinary team and international collaborators;
-Sufficient knowledge of finite element analysis;
-Experience in using Computer-aided design packages.
Experience in clinical image segmentation, 3D printing and Instron testing willbe desired but not necessary.
Thisstudentship will be awarded based on a competitive basis for a minimum of 3.5years.
EntryRequirements
You should have or expect to achieve at least a 2:1 Honours degree, orequivalent, in mechanical or material engineering. Experience in medical imagesegmentation and finite element analysis is desirable.
If English is not your first language you will need to meet the Englishlanguage requirements and provide proof of proficiency. Click here formore information and a list of acceptable alternative tests.
The majorityof the studentships are available for applicants who are ordinarily resident inthe UK and are classed as UK/EU for tuition fee purposes. If you have notresided in the UK for at least 3 years prior to the start of the studentship,you are not eligible for a maintenance allowance so you would need analternative source of funding for living costs. To be eligible for fees-onlyfunding you must be ordinarily resident in a member state of theEU. Forinformation on EPSRC residency criteria click here.
Applicantswho are classed as International for tuition fee purposes are NOT eligible forfunding. International students interested in studying at the University ofExeter should search our fundingdatabase for alternative options.
Apply through http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=2963, and you will be required to upload the following documents:
• CV
• Letter of application outlining your academic interests, prior research experience and reasons for wishing to undertake the project.
• Transcript(s) giving full details of subjects studied and grades/marks obtained. This should be an interim transcript if you are still studying.
The closing date for applications is midnight (GMT) on Wednesday 10 January 2018. Interviews will be held at the University of Exeter in late February 2018.

Filmed at Holkham but does Netflix sci-fi thriller Annihilation point to future of cinema?

Holkham beach in Norfolk was the location for filming Annihilation, one of the most anticipated sci-fi films of 2018. But in the highest profile example yet in a revolution in the way films are being released, you won't get to see it in the cinema.

Two summers ago locals and holidaymakers were left wondering what was happening as production crews arrived on Norfolk's Holkham beach to begin filming a sci-fi thriller about an environmental disaster zone where the laws of nature no longer apply.
Holkham, with its wide expanse of beach and distinctive pine woods, has proved a popular filming location over the years, featuring in everything from the closing scenes of Shakespeare in Love to nearby Holkham Hall featuring The Duchess, starring Kiera Knightly and Ralph Fiennes. But this is probably the first time it has been the scene of an otherworldly battle for mankind's survival.
Fresh from the success of his sleekly engineered Oscar-winning artifical intelligence thriller Ex-Machina, writer and director Alex Garland was filming his follow up, loosely on the first novel in Jeff VanderMeer's best-selling Southern Reach sci-fi trilogy.

Now the film, Annihilation, which stars Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac and Jennifer Jason Leigh, has become one of the most talked new releases of 2018 — but not due to the generally positive reviews, rather because of the way it is being released. You won't find it in cinemas. Instead next week it is being released in the UK on streaming site Netflix.
It is the highest profil example yet of a trend for films to arrive on out TV screens rather than the big screen. But it is a decision that has horrified and infrurated many filmgoers. Many have taken to social media to launch a campaign for the film to also be shown on the big screen.
Its absence from cinemas everywhere apart from in the US, Canada and China, is apparently due to a dispute between the film's producers and the film studio Paramount, who instead sold the rights to Netflix, who paid a reported $50 million.

It's seen as a win-win: Netflix get exclusive rights to one of the most hotly anticipated sci-fi films of the year, while Paramount pocket a cheque without the risk of releasing a film that is more about big ideas rather than big action scenes.
The losers are people who had been looking forward to seeing the film in cinemas, including in this case the filmmaker himself.
When asked about the Netflix deal, Garland, who first found fame as the author of The Beach, and also wrote the screenplays for 28 Days Later and the partially Norfolk filmed Never Let Me Go, expressed his disappointment that it would not be heading to cinemas.

"We made the film for cinema," he is reported to have said. "I've got no problem with the small screen at all. The best genre piece I've seen in a long time was The Handmaid's Tale, so I think there's incredible potential within that context, but if you're doing that – you make it for that [format] and you think of it in those terms."
He added: "One of the big pluses of Netflix is that it goes out to a lot of people and you don't have that strange opening weekend thing where you're wondering if anyone is going to turn up and then if they don't, it vanishes from cinema screens in two weeks."
In the film Natalie Portman plays a cellular biology professor who investigates a phenomenon known as The Shimmer, inside which she encounters genetic mutations that flout the laws of nature and pose a threat to humanity's lofty position on the food chain.

Those who have seen the film in cinemas in the US have praised its eye-popping trippy special effects and Garland's script, which poses questions that resonate long after the blood-curdling screams subside and the end credits roll.
The decision to release Annihilation online was reportedly made after studio bosses became worried the film was "too intellectual" and "too complicated" for a wider audience. The result is only Netflix subscribers get to make up their own minds.

The most annoying movie fad of 2018 is potentially interesting films popping up on the release schedule, only to then disappear a few weeks before they are due out, bundled away into the protecttive custody of the heavies at Netflix.
Previously I was robbed of the chance to review The Cloverfield Paradox (probably a mercy robbing as it turned out, but i'd have liked to learn for myself ) and was damned if I was gonna let that happen with Alex Garland's follow up to Ex-Machina.
Garland seems now to have devoted himself to sci-fi, and the kind of sci-fi film that asks big questions. His adaption of a novel by Jeff VanderMeer is nothing less than an attempt to rework Tarkovsky's Stalker in a way that will engage mainstream audiences, while remaining a film of ideas.
Natalie Portman is a biologist joining an all-female team heading into The Shimmer, where the laws of nature are corrupted and nobody ever returns from. Or almost nobody. It is tense and gruesome in places but also thoughtful and contemplative. It has a complicated narrative structure: a mission debrief that includes flashbacks to Portman's life before the mission.
The film's strongest visual asset is all the mutated fauna and plant life. In other places, the CGI isn't quite up to the task, though it might have worked better shown on the big screen which it was designed for.
• Annihilation is released on Netflix on March 12.

Here's all you need to know about ICICI Bank's new COO Sandeep Bakshi
Dilsher Dhillon
Jun 19, 2018, 15:46 IST
On 18 June, ICICI Bank, one of India's largest private sector lenders, named Sandeep Bakhshi at its new Chief Operating Officer (COO) and full-time director for a period of five years - pending regulatory approval. The COO post was created especially for him.
Bakhshi's appointment comes as the bank places Chanda Kochhar, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), on temporary leave pending the conclusion of an independent inquiry into a possible conflict-of-interest issue regarding the bank's dealings with Videocon. Bakshi will take over her responsibilities in the interim period, and report to ICICI's board of directors.
Here is all you need to know about him:
He oversaw India's first insurance IPO
Bakhshi was appointed as the CEO of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co, the bank's joint venture with UK insurer Prudential, in August 2010. Over the course of his tenure, he successfully spearheaded the business's ₹60.6 billion initial public offering (IPO) in September 2016 - the first such offering by an Indian insurer at the time. Despite his promotion, he will also be continuing as the Executive Director of ICICI Prudential.
He's been with ICICI since 1986
Bakshi has been with ICICI Bank for 32 years, starting out as an operations officer in Delhi. Prior to his appointment as the head of the life insurance business, Bakhshi held a variety of roles at ICICI's other businesses. He was the Deputy Managing Director and head of retail operations at ICICI Bank between 2009 and 2010 and CEO of the bank's non-life insurance business - ICICI Lombard General Insurance - between 2007 and 2009. Before joining ICICI Lombard in 2002, he looked after corporate lending operations at ICICI Bank's Northern and Eastern divisions.
He has an engineering background
Bakshi received a mechanical engineering degree from Chandigarh's Punjab Engineering College before going on to complete a masters degree in Management from Xavier Labour Relations Institute in Jamshedpur. His first job was for ORG Systems, a computer manufacturer, where he started working in 1983.
Investors seem to be happy with his appointment
As a company veteran who knows the ins and outs of ICICI's business, investors seem confident about Bakhshi's promotion. ICICI Bank's share price on the NSE has risen nearly 4% since the announcement.
Bakshi has his work cut out for him in the near term. He needs to rebuild ICICI's image and improve corporate governance while weathering the fallout of the Videocon case. If he is able to do so successfully, he could just take over the CEO role when Chanda Kochhar's term concludes in March 2019.

The Vatican is a maze of unpredictability, crowds, and screaming kids, but we will choose the best times and days to avoid as much of this as we can with priority entrance (skip the line), and smart planning. A favourite amongst our guides!
Listen as boring history becomes alive and energetic with trained, storytelling tour guides. Take sneaky pictures (cameras are not allowed, technically) of The Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms, and other major ancient historical pieces. The School of Athens, Michelangelo's life story, The Pieta, Popes good and bad, and St. Peter's Basilica sink in as memories never to be forgotten. Our Vatican Museum smart walking tours are cleverly designed to finish without leaving you totally drained.
Before you leave the tour guide, take time to ask as many questions as possible for the rest of your Vatican Museums tour (i.e. climbing the dome, visiting the tomb of the Popes, and in particular, find out how best to navigate through the Papal audience.) Don't try to visit The Vatican without a tour guide – a good one!

Patient, Heal Thyself in the Digital Future
The push for electronic medical records may mean more patient involvement.
OPINION by ROBERT FIELD
June 24, 2009— -- Electronic medical records are the holy grail of health care reform, enough so that President Obama sees them as so important that he provided funding immediately through the stimulus bill, without waiting for broader reform.
His optimism has good cause. With the ease of a mouse click, doctors can know everything about our medical lives in an instant -- with no messy handwriting to confuse them.
Watch "ABC News Primetime: Questions for the President -- Prescription for America," Wednesday, June 24, at 10 p.m. ET
But technology alone will not transform health care. It is a tool, and, like all others, is only useful in skillful hands. Those hands will not just be those of our physicians. We, as patients, will play a crucial role, as well.
The ultimate vision of reform is electronic records that are "interoperable." That means anyone can access them from any computer system. No more VHS and Betamax.
Imagine the result: All your lab tests, prescriptions, screening tests and specialist opinions accessible in one place. You can go from doctor to doctor anywhere in the county, and your essential medical information will automatically follow. The doctors will all even know your name.
Fewer errors will occur, as when physicians prescribe drugs without knowing about a patient's other medications that can cause dangerous interactions. Thousands are hospitalized and many die each year from medication errors. The fatality averted could be your own.
Your physician will also know what top experts think of your condition. Electronic records will come with built-in decision support based on the latest medical evidence. All physicians can access the same expertise as colleagues at top academic centers.
This is the vision of what can happen to medicine, but it does not tell us what actually will happen. To imagine that, we must consider the often overlooked missing ingredient. The system will be used by human beings.
The future of electronic medicine lies as much in sociology as in technology. How will physicians use their new tool? Much of their time will be spent entering data. They will check boxes on computer screens and peruse drop-down menus instead of jotting down words. Will this stifle innovative thinking? What subtleties of observation may be lost?
New Skill Sets Needed for Electronic Medical Record Revolution
Physicians will communicate with one another differently through electronic records. Think Facebook versus telephones. Will teams of clinicians function the same in a virtual environment? Interpersonal dynamics will be transformed.
In other words, effective physicians in the digital future will need new skill sets. Norms of professional behavior will change. Fresh training paradigms will have to emerge in medical schools.
So much for our doctors. Where does this leave us as patients? Can we sit back and wait for our caregivers to sort out the technological future? Absolutely not.
The challenge for patients starts in the exam room. Physicians using electronic records spend much of their time staring at a screen, frequently with their backs turned. What diagnostic information is missed when the patient is not even in the field of view? Patients will need to be more assertive.
Rude though it may seem, they will have to interrupt the typing and interject themselves. A new etiquette of physician-patient interactions may emerge.
With all of their medical information in one place, patients will bear more responsibility for monitoring the accuracy and completeness of their own information. The HIPAA law grants patients access to their own records. No one has a stronger stake in using that access to ensure that all medical encounters are included and suspicious entries are questioned.
Electronic records will also empower patients to bring their own expertise to bear. Medical Web sites, chat rooms, blogs and whatever else the digital future holds help patients to ask more informed questions and pursue broader avenues for advice. With complete access to personal information, the opportunities for self-guided inquiry will explode and patients should be prepared to use them.
In the end, physicians and patients will need to know one another in new ways. As observed at a recent symposium of health information experts at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, there is something inherently personal about disease and illness. Information technology must serve the deeply human goal of alleviating that burden in a way that meets human needs.
Personal Medicine Crucial to Health Care Reform
For medicine to remain effective, it must remain personal. For it to remain so, the astonishing new tools that technology and health reform will bring must be used with great skill. Physicians will have a lot to learn, but we as patients will also have a new part to play.
Robert I. Field chairs the Department of Health Policy and Public Health at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. He is the author of Health Care Regulation in America: Complexity, Confrontation and Compromise, a comprehensive overview of health care regulatory policy.


Picture a world where rain falls, gathers in lakes and ponds, seeps into the surrounding rock, and evaporates away, only to fall again. There's just one catch: The world is Saturn's moon, Titan, where the rain isn't water; it's liquid methane. Two new papers explore how this eerily familiar, waterless "water cycle" manifests on Titan's surface. To do so, two separate research teams turned to data from the Cassini mission, which ended its stay at the Saturn system in September 2017.


The ONS have indicated that the sharp fall in the pound since Brexit has not helped boost exports in March.
The trade deficit increased and industrial output contracted more than was forecast.
The economy appears to be faltering and Brexit is to blame. It is feared that when the UK finally breaks from the EU, there could be a shocking collapse of the UK economy.
The deal PM May secures with the EU is increasingly important, but the anti-European rhetoric from the Government is making that less likely. The vote for Macron, who is very pro-EU, in France might strengthen the EU's resolve in the negotiations with the UK.
Industrial output dropped by 0.5% in March, sharper than the 0.3% fall that had been forecast. This followed a 0.7% fall in February leading to a total growth of just 0.1% for the first quarters of the year according to the Office for National Statistics figures.
It was hoped that a fall in the pound might increase exports but there doesn't appear to be much evidence this has happened. Instead there was a surge in imports, up £2.9bn over the month, with an increase in imports of goods from both EU and non-EU countries.
The broad services and goods deficit jumped to £4.9bn in March from £2.6bn in February.
Exports increased by just £600m. Samuel Tombs, the chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the March trade figures were "simply dreadful".
The uncertainty over Brexit appears to be grinding the economy to a halt and a turnaround in the next quarter is essential, however that looks unlikely.


In the realm of fundraising senses – 1 Touch me right here!
Recently I had the fortune to work with Dan Hill one of the worldwide gurus on emotions applied to marketing. Dan advises the top Fortune 500 companies and political candidates on how to effectively advertise and succeed using emotions. What surprised me talking to Dan is how advanced commercial marketing is compared to fundraising. They understand better how the brain functions (specifically how to use emotions) and are using neurosciences to develop relevant messages and tactics to sell more sodas, shoes and beers.
Let's have a look at the last Superbowl in the US. To air a 30 second ad it costs $ 30 million. Companies that invest this much must be sure that their commercial is not only cool and wins prizes at Cannes, but that it ultimately drives sales. How do they do that? By using emotions! The two most successful commercials last year (in terms of viewers and sales) were in fact those of Budweiser (using the story of a horse) and the one from Coca Cola on security cameras. Companies like SAND Research – that analyse and score the marketing campaigns based on the emotional engagement of viewers – are able to predict which campaigns or which TV ad will drive more sales. And they rated Coke and Budweiser as the top two. What is interesting is that the winning element in both cases is the use of a story that drives emotions and leads to action, just like we should do in our NGO world more often and better.
More intriguing is that the Coke global campaign around the emotion of happiness ("Share happiness", "Open happiness") strongly uses the multi-sensorial channels showing people what happens when they interact with a Coke machine, getting people to interact among themselves through a Coke screen (like with small machines inviting strangers from Pakistan and India to interact), engaging people online and offline to personalize bottles and cans with the name of their friends .
Looking closely to the insights from neurosciences, I came to the conclusion that indeed McLuhan could be rephrased today as "The message is the medium", meaning that what is really crucial today is the content over and above the medium we use. And the key here is that the content – being through a direct mail piece or a face to face recruiter in the street – is more powerful as long as it is able to activate emotions using multiple sensory touch points.
Emotions and therefore our decisions to give or engage with a cause are activated by a combination of sensory elements, primarily by what we see, what we hear, smell, taste and touch. According to Dan Hill our senses absorb 400 million bytes of information per second! This is why our communication and our fundraising should always try to involve all sensory spectrums and not over indulge on written words, because specific parts of the brain are intended to react to different sensory stimuli and activate specific emotions that in turn activate our attention and guide our involvement with messages, causes, organizations and events.
Let's look at the "Sensory homunculus" at the beginning of the post, a model developed by the National History Museum in London. It shows what a man's body would look like if each part grew in proportion to the area of the cortex of the brain concerned with its sensory perception. As you can see hands (i.e. touch) and face (taste, smell, hearing, vision) have biggest proportion, i.e. our brain devotes a lot of attention and importance to the stimuli that reach each of these senses. So, how many of these sensory terminals do we target and reach with our campaigns and through our media? Aren't we limiting our fundraising to very few senses, i.e. the rational part?
I want to start a series of blogs on sensory fundraising, especially those underutilized in fundraising like smell, touch and sound. I will start with the tactile or sensory part to show how making our fundraising 'touchable' is crucial to convince donors.
Vilayanur Ramachandran and David Brang from the University of California found in a study that when we touch something we activate a "synaesthesia", i.e. a connection between two apparently unconnected areas of the brain: the area that regulates the tactile part or the movements and the limbic system that regulates emotions and memory. And we know that these two parts are crucial when we decide to donate. The effectiveness of objects we can touch, and the possibility to "touch" is well known in fundraising campaigns and is connected with the idea of providing a donor with some tangible element of the cause. For example, the ORS sachet for rehydration of children used by UNICEF or the bracelet to measure the level of malnutrition used by Medecin Sans Frontier have been the main element of the success of these fundraising campaigns for many years, both in direct mail and in face to face. And interestingly enough when UNICEF tested the use of real sachet against a photo or a description of the sachet in the mail, the real sachet pulled the highest response and average gift. One of my best fundraising tools today is a rapid HIV test that can detect HIV in 20 minutes at home and costs only $30 dollars: touch it, I said to my donors, and see how easy and cheap it could be to prevent AIDS.
So which part of your fundraising is tactile? How can you make "touchable" and tangible your need or your solution? If you drive your donor with a story through a multi-sensorial experience you will maximise the emotional response and ultimately response, average gift and retention.
Thanks Francesco, this is both really interesting and relevant for the sector.
In face-to-face, we have a huge opportunity to make our engagement with new donors much more impactful and relevant by using a more creative and sensory approach.
Apart from the short-term benefits of improving response rates, this type of approach also gives us the chance to develop more meaningful relationships with our donors from the outset and breathe new life into a channel that has precipitated 'donor fatigue' by relying on re-using the same formula (albeit an effective one) for too long.
I also really like what Artsen zonder Grenzen (Médecins Sans Frontières in the Netherlands) recently did in Amsterdam. They set-up an emergency aid camp, similar to the ones they have been setting up in Sudan and Syria. Not sure if they tied a fundraising campaign to it, but it is definitely very tactile.
Very interesting thanks! Would be great if AZG can share some results!
I really enjoyed your article Francesco; it was very thought provoking…. I'm wondering how to apply what I've learned from you to my fundraising efforts for the nursing home. Thank you!

'Pile of earth' left in road during emergency water main roadworks
A burst water main caused gridlock earlier in St Ives
Ella PengellyContent Editor
St Ives roadworks burst water main (Image: Martin Short)
St Ives ground to a halt earlier today (October 8) as crews worked to fix a burst water main.
The emergency roadworks on the A1096, Harrison Way, caused heavy traffic for rush hour commuters.
Earth dug up from the burst main was pictured sitting in the road, partially blocking traffic.
Martin Short, a local resident who took pictures of the earth in the road, said: "With just a little thought the chaos could have been avoided.
"The route is compromised already with the traffic lights for the guided busway, and the need for pedestrians to cross the road, and morning traffic is already a problem, before this incident.
He added: "The road is heavy with traffic with the addition of Morrisons and McDonald's, as well as the Tesco Express squeezed on route.
"Residents have predicted chaos, and with more houses planned north of St Ives, the situation will only get worse. Another crossing of the Ouse is needed, but it will be years and years before that happens."
Traffic in St Ives (Image: Martin Short)
Cambridge Water apologised on Twitter for the traffic delays and said the road reopened around 3:30pm.
A spokeswoman for Cambridge Water said: "We have been undertaking emergency work on Harrison Way, St Ives, which has been affecting traffic. The emergency work has now been completed, traffic restrictions have been lifted and two way traffic flow has now been restored.
"We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank every one affected for their patience."
Residents took to social media earlier today to share how their journeys had increased dramatically. What normally would take 10 minutes took one resident an hour and 10 minutes during the roadworks, they claimed. Another explained how a round trip from St Ives to Ely took them three hours.

Q: After turning census block data into a raster, how do I redistribute the density to reflect land cover types I plan on rasterizing (terminology?) census block data relating to density to a regular 30 m by 30 m grid for use with NLCD data.  I then hope to distribute the density of the original census block among each result set of grid cells within the original polygon according to the land cover type dictated by the NLCD dataset.  For example, let's imagine a string of city blocks with a park, all found within one census block.  If within this census block the average density is 1000 people/km^2, we ultimately would want the resulting grid cell containing the park to have a lower population density than the grid cells containing the surrounding apartments.  This information may be captured by the NLCD dataset, with the park being classified as '21' (open but developed land) versus 24 for apartment buildings which could be classified as '24' (high density development).  Is there a method, or set of methods, within ArcMap that would allow me to:

*

*Redistribute the density based on the NLCD value

*Perform this redistribution only within the original census block polygon

I don't know if this is possible, but I figured I would ask.
Edit
Here's what I have been trying:
I converted the census block data to a raster, snapping it to the NLCD land cover data and ensuring the output grid cells were the same size.  Each cell contains the same info as the original census block (housing umbers, population, etc). I have been trying to figure out a way to edit the new grid so that if the NLCD grid cell contains a land cover type that doesn't support a business or housing (park, forest, farm, etc.) that it's housing and population values area set to 0.  My next move was going to be figuring out how to subtract the non-residential/non-business grid cells area from the area of the original census block, and force a recalculation of the density.  Converted the altered census block layer to grid cells again, with each having the new density value, and once again set the cells' housing, population, and density values that don't support a business or housing (park, forest, farm, etc.) to 0.
Kind of circular, and I'm not sure of all the steps (raster calculator for editing individual grid cells based on another raster's grid cell value?), but it seems to logically work out if I can get the parts to work.
On the other hand, @dof1985's answer seems to simplify the first part of my workflow (by directing me to the correct toolset), but I will still have to nullify the grid cells where parks, etc., do exits after the density has been recalculated for the census data.

A: You have two inputs:

*

*A polygon layer of Census counts.

*A classified land cover layer.
You would like to perform a kind of dasymetric mapping in which the output is a density raster.  It has two defining properties:

*

*The integrated density over each Census block should equal the original count.

*The different types of land cover should have differing densities associated with them.
There are several ways to quantify (2). One expedient would be to assign a table of relative densities to the land cover types.  For instance, suppose there were three types of land cover: high population density, low density, and unpopulated.  Then you might assign relative densities of 10:1:0 to these types.  You will have to obtain the proper densities in some way, perhaps via statistical analysis of other data.
With this approach, the solution is relatively simple:

*

*Create a density grid for the Census data by dividing each polygon's count by its area and converting that directly to raster format.

*Create a relative density grid for the land cover data by joining the relative density table to the land cover type identifier.

*Multiply the two grids (1) and (2).

*Compute a zonal sum of the product in (3), using the Census regions as zones.  Store this as a raster rather than a table.

*Multiply (3) by the Census counts, divide by (4), and divide by the cell area.
Why does this work?  It should be clear that the values in (3) give the correct relative densities within each polygon, because (a) the value of (1) in each polygon is constant and (b) the value of (2) gives the relative densities.  Dividing by the zonal sum (4) gives a set of non-negative weights that sum to unity within each polygon.  The products in (5) adjust (or "normalize") these weights to make the sum of the values, times the cell area, equal to the total count in each polygon.  Thus the final result is indeed a density grid that correctly reflects the original Census counts, while varying the densities (within each polygon) according to the land cover type.
This approach can fail in two circumstances:

*

*Some polygons may disappear in conversion to raster format.  This happens when a polygon contains no center of any raster cell.  One solution is to use a finer resolution for the grid.  Another is to combine such polygons with one or more of their neighbors, which can be done in various ways.

*A polygon with a nonzero count is covered only by land cover types with zero density.  This is an inherent inconsistency between the two inputs, so the procedure had better fail!  In most software you will get NaN or NoData values to indicate the problem.

A: I suggest a different work flow. That is, I assume you have the Spatial Analyst. The workflow is based upon the tool: Tabulate Area. Note that using the tool with your polygon layer, i.e. blocks, will automatically convert those to a raster, thus it is better if you would manually convert it, in order to have control on the output.
My data is a 2 block polygon layer, each has a population density field; also I have a "NLCD" data (not real data), contain 3 raster Values, namely: High density residential (green), Desnsity and Commercial Mixed use (blue), and Park (red). See image below:

I used the Tabulate Area tool to count the cells by Value in each polygon (Zone); I  have used join to relate the blocks attributed table with the output table of the Tabulate tool (PK= ObjectID; FK= ObjectID_1). Joint table presented here:

In a new field (float/double) I have calculated the "new area" or "living effective area", using the following if-block:
def NewArea(x,y,Z,area):
   if (Z>0):
     return(((x+y)/(x+y+Z))*area)
   else:
     return(area)

It basically checks if there is a park (Z variable) count in each block, and if so it ignores it to compute the effective living area (that is based on ratio of the living pixels to the total pixels).
Use this code in the calculation window (field calculator):
NewArea( !Dns_resi!, !Mix_resi!, !Park!, !SHAPE_Area!)

Note that if you have more than one land-use that should be igonred, the code should be modified.
Based on the "new area" it is easy to re-calculate the population Density as follows:
!Density!* !SHAPE_Area!/ !Fixed_area!

Note that both codes are using python.
The result was that parcel 1 population density has been raised from 1000 to 1333, while parcel 2 density wasn't altered.

Android Wear has one big advantage over the Apple Watch, but for how long?
In the wearables war between Apple and Android, the Cupertino giant is winning when it comes to the most product shipped. But Android Wear's ability to work independently of a smartphone give it a huge advantage.
By Adrian Kingsley-Hughes for Hardware 2.0 | June 3, 2015 -- 13:58 GMT (06:58 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
In the wearables war that's currently raging between Apple and Android, all sources point to the Cupertino giant as being the winner when it comes to the most product shipped. But Android Wear has an enormous technical advantage over the Apple Watch -- it has the ability to work independently of a smartphone.
There are some fundamental differences between the way that Apple and Android have approached the technical issues raised by smartwatches. The most fundamental distinction being that the Apple Watch relies heavily on a paired iPhone to do much of the hard work such as connecting to Wi-Fi and GPS, and handling app communication with servers.
Android Wear on the other hand comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity which means that Android-powered smartwatches are a true standalone bit of kit rather than an accessory because they don't need a smartphone to be in range -- or even charged up -- to be able to load up email and Twitter, or to log the wearer's daily runs.
Why Apple chose to take an approach that relied so heavily on the iPhone is not known. If I were to be cynical I'd say that Apple did this because it wanted to sell more iPhones (or at least keep existing users hooked into the platform). However, I suspect that the real reason has more to do with battery life. Even with the iPhone doing most of the hard work the battery life of the Apple Watch is only a day.
But whatever the reason, it's a limitation that Android users don't have to suffer, and it restricts what developers who are targeting the Apple platform can bring to the table in terms of features.
My guess is that the Apple Watch will eventually become a standalone device as Apple looks to add more features to keep buyers interested. As to when this might happen, I think this depends on sales. If sales are buoyant, Apple is likely to be conservative and add features piecemeal, which means it could be years, but if sales tank then that could force Apple to add features more rapidly.
But for now, Android Wear holds an advantage.
And this brings me to another problem facing smartwatches in general. There's just not a lot of ways that the technology can grow. And primarily this is down to the fact that the screen size is pretty well fixed, which in turn narrows down the scope of what they'll be able to do. We're not going to see the plethora of screen sizes that we've seen with smartphones and tablets. A watch is a watch, and there's not much you can do about the form factor (even monster Casio watches don't really have displays that are much bigger that the regular smartwatch). And as for making them smaller, forget it, unless we all get kitted out with bionic eyes.
Eventually, what this could mean is that smartwatches may end up with a much slower upgrade cycle; perhaps one determined by battery degradation or even changes in fashion.

The 24 hour of Finale Ligure, a mountain bike competition taking place at the end of May 2016, is the most important competition of this kind in Europe.
Begun in 1999, the event draws thousands of Riders from all over the world. The trail is very unique and representative of this corner of Liguria: narrow single tracks through the wild Mediterranean vegetation and amazing sea views.
The race involves Team & Solo running and Night riding. Team riders participate in of 4, 8 and 12 members to compete against other strong bikers using team strategy.
In the "solo" category (max 60 athletes), participants ride for one day and one night competing against very strong athletes such as Franz Kohlsdorfer, winner of the category for three years consecutively, Thomas Widalm, and Stefan Hutmacheror, Michelle Grainger, Silvia Muller or Rebecca Tomasrewski.
The Night Riding event takes place for 24 hours uninterruptedly: the magic of night riding and the atmosphere in the woods will make for a unique experience!
The race also involves a Mountain Bike Festival with live concerts, food, beer, entertainment for children, tours and exhibitions. Famous European DJs' will play music and a completely free concert will take place during the race! Food, games, competitions, beers and lots of sport will make for an unforgettable day.

Of all the Bushes, it turns out only George P. Bush is voting for the man who humiliated his father.
Of all the members of the sprawling Bush-family political dynasty, it may be Billy Bush who will be remembered as the most ignominious (and ultimately the most influential) of the 2016 election. But a close second within the tight-knit Bush clan may be George P. Bush, the eldest son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who in August endorsed the man who repeatedly humiliated his own father on the national stage. Worse, it appears George P. will ultimately be alone in choosing party over family: according to the 40-year-old Texas land commissioner, no other Bushes are planning to vote for Donald Trump for president.
That leaves Jeb Bush's son as the only prominent member of the Bush family to openly support Trump. Jeb himself, whom Trump took particular glee in bullying during the Republican primary, famously labeling him "low energy," has said that he cannot stomach either Trump or Clinton, and recently suggested that he may vote for third-party candidate Gary Johnson. Matriarch Barbara Bush also said back in February that she strongly disliked the eventual Republican nominee: "I don't know how women can vote for someone who said what he said about Megyn Kelly." (Barbara has previously gushed, "I love Bill Clinton".) Marvin Bush, the mysterious third of four Bush brothers, is also voting for Johnson.
