Tibet Shambhala Adventure is a local Tibetan owned Tibet travel agency who organizes the best Tibet festival tours including Shoton festival tour. Shoton Festival is one of the grandest traditional festivals in Tibet. In local language, Sho refers to yogurt and Don means banquet and eating. Therefore, Shoton Festival is namely a feast day to have yogurt.
In truth, this Shoton festival 'yogurt festival' was originally an utterly religious event, starting in mid-11th century. At that time, people sacrifice yogurt to monasteries. Since late 17th century, it had become an important festival with Tibetan opera and Thangka unfolding ceremony, backed up by entertainment and religion activities. Since it was hosted by Lhasa government, it has changed into a famous celebration combining tradition and modernization. Having a Shoton festival tour around Lhasa during this period of time is the best.
Although Shoton Festival is held in every late sixth month or early 7th month of Tibetan calendar, appointed Tibetan opera parties from different parts has get ready for the big day in a month advance. The opening ceremony will begin on 30th of 6th month of Tibetan calcendar which usually is held in August or Beginning of September according to western calendar. Norbulingka in west outskirt of Lhasa is the central venue for the celebration, which used to be the summer palace of Dalai Lama. In these most energetic days, Lhasa's hustle and bustle are wholly moved the green forest around Norbulingka.
On the first day of Shoton festival, a giant silk appliqué Thangka is displayed on the hill side of Drepung monastery in the early morning and another huge silk applique Thangka is also displayed on the back hill side of Sera monastery. Thousands of pilgrims and tourists gather in both monasteries in order to get blessing from the sacred Thangka images.During your Shoton festival tour, you will extremely beautiful Tibetan traditional activities including Tibetan opera, monks ceremony inside the monasteries, picnic party in Norbu Lingka, the summer Palace of the Dalai Lama and different costumes from different regions of Tibet.
During your Shoton festival tour, you will see a lot of different Tibetan opera performances. Tibetan Opera is another big draw which is to be carried on since the second day of the festival from eleven o'clock in the morning until dark. Shows can be admired in Norbulingka and LuKang (Dragon King Pond), Park behind the Potala Palace. The local Tibetans sit on mat with families and friends, drink butter tea and Barley beer (Chang in Tibetan ) , taste dessert and watch the opera while waving the prayer wheel or finger the rosary in hand. During the period, different schools of Tibetan opera will compete with each other, and teams from Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan will come to the holy Lhasa to improve their skills by exchanges. During 7 days Shoton fesetival, those opera parties will perform in every corner of Lhasa city area which makes the Shoton festival in Lhasa more authentic and meaningful in a Tibetan traditional way.
Oxygen in the vehicle incase needed.
You will be warmly welcomed by our Tibetan guide and driver and accompany you to the holy city of Lhasa.
Early morning, start from your hotel and drive to the foot of Drepung hill for 8km and then walk in the pilgrim que which might take an hour to reach where the Thangka displays eventhough it is just around one km distance. Enjoy taking photos of the pilgrims from different regions of Tibet and visit the Giant Thangka of Buddha Shakyamuni which can be displayed once in a year to the public. After Drepung monastery's festival show, you will continue to Sera monastery for 8km and visit another Giant Buddha Thangka with thousands of pilgrims together. Have late lunch and walk around the Bharkor and rest in the late afternoon.
Morning drive to Norbu Lingka which is just 4km from your hotel. Visit Norbu Lingka which is the summer palace of the successive Dalai Lamas. You will see an extremely beautiful Tibetan painting which describes the life story of the Buddha Shakyamuni and Tsongkapa, the founder of the Gelukpa school. Visit picnic party of locals gathering and Tibetan opera in the summer Palace. Have lunch and then visit Lukang temple behind the Potala Palace and visit Tibetan traditional opera performances. Enjoy a great day with full of local Tibetans, wearing in Tibetan traditional dress and having different kinds of opera performances.


My father, Peter Lee, started acting while he was in the army, just at the end of, and after, the war. I know [film star, producer and director] Bryan Forbes, who I remember him referring to as 'Mucka Forbes' in conversation, was a friend of his back then, and also [comedy and character actor] Derek Francis. Somewhere I have a marvellous sketch Derek drew of my father waiting in the wings to go on as Sergius in Arms and The Man.
Here's the poster for Arms and The Man, featuring my father and Derek Francis. Also in the cast is Hugh Paddick, who went on to find fame as Julian, with Kenneth Williams as Sandy, in the 'Julian and Sandy' sketches on BBC Radio's Round the Horne comedy show.
My mother, Hazel Peterson, was a student at RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] in the 1940s, being contemporary with such as Roger Moore and June Whitfield. I understand she was engaged to someone else when she met the 'penniless actor' Peter Lee. However, so enamoured was she of Peter that she threatened to throw her engagement ring into the Thames if it wasn't taken back! Her engagement to Peter was announced onstage when my father, in the wings, mouthed the date of their wedding to my mother who was onstage. They were married in Maidstone on 4th February 1949. I'm afraid I don't which theatre they were working in, but apparently the church was thronged outside with 'fans'!
Moving to Westborough Road, Westcliff, my parents joined Harry Hanson's Court Players at the Palace Theatre at the beginning of 1952. My father's first appearance was in A Lady Mislaid in the January.
My parents' first appearance together for the Court Players was in The Lady of the Camellias in March. My mother's photograph appeared in the leaflet advertising the play.
During 1953 a young actress called Yootha Joyce joined the Court Players. In the 1970s, of course, she was to become famous as man-hungry Mildred Roper, wife of sub-letting landlord George, in the TV sit-com Man About the House and the spin-off George and Mildred.
Yootha attended my christening. According to family legend she held me, I cried and she quickly gave me back to my mother saying "Babies don't like me, darling!" Harry Bowers, a fellow actor [also in the cast of Queen Elizabeth] and a great friend of my parents, was my godfather. I have a silk scarf from Liberty, the famous West End department store, that he sent me one Christmas.
My mother had given up acting after I was born. (My sister was born six and a half years later.) I think my father continued until the middle of 1956, although his final show with the Court Players was Birthday Honours in October 1954 (after three more shows Harry Hanson left the Palace).
My father had definitely left the stage by the time we moved from Westcliff and he became front of house manager at the Odeon Leicester Square, where many film premieres were, and still are, held. He was there for some years, before working as a buyer for Derry and Toms department store in Kensington High Street. Ultimately he became General Manager of another department store, Barkers of Kensington, before his untimely death from cancer in 1977.
However, acting was still in their blood, and, when we lived in Petts Wood, Kent, my parents started a thriving play-reading group with a number of other couples. The group met many times a year in each other's houses for quite a few years until my father's death.
My mother is still with us but, sadly, she is suffering from dementia.
As a child I used to love the stories of misbehaviour on the stage, such as the time when my father had a drink passed to him with the line "Your Vichy Water, sir" – only to find a goldfish in it! Or the time when the ASM had a walk on part as a maid and, as she left the wings to go on stage, my father hooked a long Father Christmas beard to the back of her apron! The challenge was not to 'corpse' [break character and laugh]! Very unprofessional, of course, but it must have been an exhausting life, rehearsing one play during the day and presenting another each night, week in week out!
Long after my father left the stage he kept all his copies of 'The Stage' and his makeup box. When I started to act in drama productions at school this box came out and he taught me many tricks, such as how to 'age' convincingly, the use of contours, etc.
I longed to go on the stage (my big regret), but having done it themselves my parents were quite adamant that I should get a proper job! So I became a journalist, before marrying and having my family. Ultimately I trained as a teacher in the early 1990s. At my last school, a girls' prep school in Haslemere, Surrey, I became responsible for drama, directing the annual productions there for 12 years.
And I am now chairman of the Graffham Rustics amdram company in Graffham, West Sussex, having been a member for 20 years. We presented The 39 Steps in November 2014 and were proud to have June Whitfield in the audience, and at our last night party! For me, she brought the whole story to a full circle!

Q: Can't find the demonstration of a theorem about recursion Here's the theorem :

Let $E$ be a set, $g$ a function from $E$ into $E$, and $a$ an element of $E$. There exists a unique function $f$ defined from $\mathbb{N}$ into $E$ such that $f(0)=a$ and $f(n+1)=g(f(n))$ for every natural integer $n$.

I'm just trying to find a proof about that theorem. I'm just a student; all I know is that this theorem is true and I would like to have a proof about it, but I really don't know how to achieve it.

A: $\def\nn{\mathbb{N}}$Consider the following procedure $f$ that requires an input from $\nn$:
  $f$ on input $n$ does the following:
    If $n = 0$:
      Output $a$.
    Otherwise:
      Output $g(f(n-1))$.
Note that $f(0) = a$. Also note that, given any $n \in \nn$, if $f(n)$ produces an output then $f(n+1)$ also does and furthermore $f(n+1) = g(f(n))$. Therefore by induction $f(n)$ produces an output for every $n \in \nn$, and $f(n+1) = g(f(n))$ for every $n \in \nn$. Thus $f$ is a function on $\nn$ satisfying the desired properties. Finally, it is easy to prove (by induction again) that any two functions satisfying the desired properties are the same.

The above proof is based on intuitive concepts, but these are not available in some formal systems such as ZF set theory. In ZF a function is defined as a set of ordered pairs (intended to encode (input,output) pairs) such that no two have the same first entry (each input maps to only one output). To build the desired $f$ we must build approximations.
The first step is to let $P(k)$ be the assertion that there is a function $h$ with domain $\{0..k\}$ such that $h(0) = a$ and $h(n+1) = g(h(n))$ for every $n \in \nn_{<k}$. Then clearly $P(0)$ and $P(k) \to P(k+1)$ for any $k \in \nn$, by explicit construction. Therefore by induction $P(k)$ for every $k \in \nn$.
The second step is to show that any function witnessing $P(k)$ is unique for the given $k \in \nn$. Again this is by induction.
The third step is to let $(h_k)_{k\in\nn}$ be a sequence of functions such that $h_k$ witnesses $P(k)$ for every $k \in \nn$, and show that $h_i$ and $h_j$ agree on $\{0..i\}$ for every $i,j \in \nn$ such that $i < j$. Again, this is by induction ('on $j$').
The fourth step is to let $f = \bigcup_{k\in\nn} h_k$, and to check that it is a function (which follows from the pairwise agreement) and that it satisfies the desired properties (which follows from the fact that $h_k$ witnesses $P(k)$ for every $k \in \nn$.
Longwinded? I agree. But that is just how it is. Essentially no shortcut.

John Mikel Obi ready to sacrifice for Super Eagles – Royal Times of Nigeria.
Nigeria captain John Mikel Obi says he will play anywhere on the pitch if that is what it takes to help the Super Eagles win. Chatter in the media and among fans after the Croatia loss has been that Gernot Rohr wrongly deployed Mikel as an attacking rather than a defensive midfielder in the 2-0 defeat.
José Mourinho, who coached Mikel through his formative years and all the way to maturity while at Chelsea, added more fuel to the fire by saying that Nigeria "lost a great 6 to get a bad 10".
In response to a question at Nigeria's press conference on Wednesday, Mikel said the conversation was academic, but he would gladly play anywhere for the good of the team, starting with tomorrow's game against Iceland. However, Mikel pointed out that winning games is more than just about playing positions.
Rohr agreed with his captain, and pointed out that if the team had lost with Mikel playing in attacking midfield, there would have been questions as to why he changed a winning formula.
Mikel said the team have put the Croatia loss behind them and were now focused on winning against Iceland and keeping their tournament alive.


Eliphaz the Temanite is the speaker: "Would a wise man answer with empty notions or fill his belly with the hot east wind?" (Job 15:1). He is speaking to Job who was a godly, blameless man but one day in his life he had lost everything. He lost his business, his workmen and his children; soon his health too goes. Job is left alone as his wife turns against him, and his old friends then show the resentment that they've built up over many years (had they been envious? It seems likely. They were certainly unwise and cruel men). We have seen how Job has been speaking to them and he's told them about God requiring perfect righteousness and obedience that can only come if a man went under the old covenant provision constantly with the appropriate sacrifices for his sins, and confessed them, and cast himself on the mercy of God. Then he would be pardoned and receive the gift of righteousness which is bestowed by God on those who come and truly confess their sins, and acknowledge God to be great and holy.
Bildad and Eliphaz have not liked that message at all. They've one theme, one string on their banjos, and they turned on him and said, "Now look Job, you've obviously sinned a great sin and you've succeeded in hiding that sin from us and from everybody, but God has seen it. He's punishing you for it. So, really acknowledge it. Confess it and then you can make a new start. So, stop all this arguing and these long speeches and confess your sin." And so Eliphaz and Bildad and Zophar, they've all spoken to Job, and not with a few judicious words. They have spoken at length and quite poetically; you get the impression that they like the sound of their own voices, and they haven't finished yet with their reflective speeches of great eloquence. They have uttered words that will live for ever in the annals of the world's literature. That is what Job was up against, and they've spoken with incredible self-confidence. They had to make a choice: either to support Job and his pleas of innocence – remember that they've never seen him do anything wrong. They have a detached respectful admiration for him. Or they're going to dismiss his humble defence of his own innocence. They're going to trust in their own works, religious views and philosophy. They're going to take Satan's side, and they're going to sift Job like wheat. One after another they're going to nail his unknown secret sins to him. They're going to do this with all the intelligence and certainty of old age and rank and friendship. They're going to beat down and down on Job. They greatly hurt the one who has lost his family, possessions and health, whose own wife has turned on him. Now it's their turn to undermine him.
So then, we come to Eliphaz's speech in chapter 15. Job has been crying out to God in the previous chapter, and it's a hopeless wail. He is facing death in his anguish. There's a pause and it is then that Eliphaz speaks. Now we all know from I Corinthians 13 that love is patient, kind, that love is merciful; love isn't boastful; love isn't jealous; love doesn't trample on anyone, but Eliphaz in his rude good health and total sense of conviction is standing in solidarity with healthy Zophar, and healthy Bildad in their condemnation of Job. They all bring the same pious language, the self-serving and moralistic theology that they think is true religion. None of these men know anything about a theology of grace. Alas that is Eliphaz' pose. He stands and speaks saying four things to Job.
i] Eliphaz attacks Job's words.
Firstly, he makes the crudest sort of attack in his opening words: "The belly is filled with hot east wind." Oh dear. It's the sort of remark boys make in the school yard. He is a less sophisticated man maybe priding himself in his blunt plain speaking. He attacks Job's empty notions, useless words, valueless speeches. He sounds like a neo-communist back bencher in the House of Commons. "Job, you've undermined your own piety with your protestation," he says. "It's all hot air, Job, when you speak as you do, with your crafty mouth, and that condemns you" (vv.5&6). "You claim to know God as the Lord, your Lord, a Lord you trust in, a Lord you love. You think you have this intimate knowledge of God. Well, let me ask you some questions which you must answer with the word "No" on every occasion. Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? Do you listen in on God's counsel? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have? (vv.7–9). You're just a man, not above us; we're as good as you are." That's the sort of level of the debate launched by Eliphaz.
ii] Eliphaz appeals to tradition.
And then, secondly, he appeals to tradition. "Everybody agrees with us," he says, "that trouble comes into your life because of your sin." Verse 10: "The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father," he says. "Everyone believes these things." "Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen" (v.17). Well, what have you seen, Eliphaz? Verse 18: "What wise men have declared, hiding nothing received from their fathers (to whom alone the land was given when no alien passed among them)." I am simply a believer in the wise traditions of our fathers. They all say that God punishes men who do evil and that that is the explanation for our suffering. So he tells Job that it is Job's heart, his own emotions, have carried him away, and he is now pouring out all his anger to God. "Who do you think you are, Job?" he says to him.
iii] Eliphaz declares that it is impossible for man to be a righteous man.
Man can't be pure; you can't expect that of anyone. "What is man, that he could be pure, or one born of woman, that he could be righteous? If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water!" (vv.14–16). What is Job doing pleading his utter integrity? "We can't expect men to be pure," he says, "because man is born of woman." Well, that's not the reason, of course. That's not the reason why man is impure or sinful, but because before we were the children of our sinful mothers we were the children of Adam, born with a bias to go astray, doing what we choose in defiance of God. We do everything our own way because a woman had given birth to us. So, Eliphaz is introducing the sinner's excuse and the Christian's grief that no-one's perfect. Let Job acknowledge this and be silent, "I am a sinner because I am like all mankind," and be satisfied with that reason for God punishing him.
iv] Eliphaz quotes from ancient poets.
And then, fourthly, Eliphaz quotes from the ancients. "One expects the judgements that fall on the wicked," he says. "All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless through all the years stored up for him. Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him" (vv.20–21) and so on. "…because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield" (vv.25&26). "That's what you've been doing, Job. You've been defying God. You've been attacking God with all these flowery speeches. Judgement has fallen on you because of your sin." That's what he says in verses 27, 28 and 29, to the end of the chapter. Did you think you would escape from our God?
So, it's a familiar theme, that trouble and suffering is a result of sin. But you know yourself that this doesn't happen, does it? You know that the most evil people are freely walking our streets. I am talking of the thieves of which this town of ours is full – if the robberies described with such frequency in our local paper are true. They watch football on a Saturdays on television. They play golf on Sundays. They go to work. They are criminals. They may abuse their children and their wives and they get away with it. They're evil men. They live till they are 80 years of age; the police never find them. This isn't a world where there is perfect righteousness and justice, is it? It's not that kind of world, is it? When in Psalm 73 the writer, Asaph, is so troubled because he and the people of God are suffering so much. He looks at evil men and they're growing fat and living a long time and their lands and their schemes are profiting in every way, Asaph is deeply troubled. His feet almost slipped until he remembers in due time judgement will come upon them. In due time their feet will slip and into the gave and into judgment they will fall. Sometimes that judgement isn't evident in this world – it comes when we die.
Now we all are certain that Job was not a wicked man. We know that he was utterly righteous and blameless. We've read chapters 1 & 2 of the book of Job. We know that all his sufferings are the supreme and exemplary test of Job's faith for the edification of future generations. Does he serve God for nothing at all? But for Eliphaz, there is total ignorance of those first two chapters and with his works' religion he concludes that Job must have sinned. He must have sinned. If Job hasn't sinned, all of Eliphaz's religion, his basic convictions, his world view is destroyed, and Eliphaz is becoming a frightened man. He's feeling threatened. His whole basis and outlook in life is being challenged by this man whom he has always considered blameless and godly, suffering so much, Yet Job is protesting his love for God and his own sinlessness. Job must be a doubly wicked man. He is wicked on hiding his secret sins from them for so long, and he is wicked in protesting his innocence now. Eliphaz's text for this long sermon, in the second half of this chapter, then, is verse 20: "All his days the wicked man suffers torment." That's the theme, that all his days the wicked man suffers torment. It is obvious that Job is suffering torment, so Job must be a wicked man. That's the logic of Eliphaz and the raison d'etre of his remarks. He is saying nothing more than that, and all with a head-shaking, blunt earnestness. Then in chapters 16 and 17 you get Job's response.
i] Job begins by protesting that Eliphaz has said nothing new, and that talk is easy. It is, in fact, the fourth time he's heard these things. "I've heard many things like these; 'Miserable comforters are you all!'" And he protests about the garrulousness of Eliphaz; "I could talk," Job says, "like you do" (v.4). "It's easy enough to talk, to string together long speeches and shake your head very gravely and pose your disapproval as you have, to show that you don't agree with what Job has said. It's easy," he says, "to do as you three have done and pass judgment on me. But I wouldn't do that," godly Job says. "My mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief" (v.5). "That's what I'd do," he says. But Job is between a rock and a hard place. If he speaks his words don't relieve him and they bring down a flood of condemnation from his 'friends;' if he doesn't speak then the words are just bottled up inside him (v.6).
ii] Job turns to God.
So, Job is on a hiding to nothing, whether he speaks or whether he is silent. So he casts himself upon God, turning from these men. His eyes turn to God and he tells the Lord, "You know how much you've devastated me by everything you've done. My whole family is destroyed. See that I'm in chains now. I'm bound to illness and despair. Look at my own Belsen-like condition. He testifies, "I'm a dying man" (v.8) and then after that outburst to God, "See the state I'm in!" he turns back to his comforters.
iii] Job declares that his suffering is a sovereign action of God, not a result of his sin.
iv] An Advocate in Heaven.
Then, in verse 19, he turns to this theme that he has raised before of having an advocate in heaven. Nobody on earth is speaking up for him at all. His wife is silent. His friends have turned against him. His children are dead, but God, oh the Lord is good, the Lord is fair! There'll be a witness in heaven to his integrity. Maybe there'll be a man like Enoch, who walked with God and then was not, and he now in heaven will speak up for him. Enoch is now before him, a great man of utter righteousness, and maybe he'll be there and will speak up for him? Maybe one of the seraphim will speak up for him? Or could it be more than that? Could it be the Angel of the Covenant? Could it be . . . the Lord himself? So Job affirms his conviction to his frinds in verses 19–21 these wonderful words: "Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high. My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God." On behalf of a man this heavenly friend pleads with God with strong cryings and tears. So well we know the one whom Job is talking about, and we know it better than Job does for we flood his words with the light of the New Testament. The Spirit of Christ was in this prophet Job as he said these words. We read Job in the light of the teaching that we find, for example, in the letter to the Hebrews about our great High Priest, not of Aaron's mortal line but of the line of Melchizedek, the one who ever lives and makes intercession for us. "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin" (Hebrews 4:15).
Job, in the half light of the Old Covenant, back there probably before even the time of Abraham, he conceives faintly of this: one day there'll be an intercessor, who will be a friend of all sinners who trust in God. He'll be God's right-hand man and there he'll plead for men as a man in God's presence. The dust of the earth is on the throne of the universe and he remembers that we are dust because he was dust himself. He says, "Father! Look now Father, there is brother Job. You promised you won't break a bruised reed. Father, you promised you won't quench a smoking flax. Well, look at Job. He's almost a broken man, Father. The light that's in Job is almost extinguished. I plead with you for my servant Job," he says. That's the Lord Jesus. If you can conceive now in your mind, by faith, that Great Session that's taking place at the right hand of God at this moment where the Lord Jesus in saving to the uttermost those who come to God by him, is ever living and interceding for his people. This is the Jesus who said, "I don't call them my servants, I call them my friends" (John 15:15). What a friend we have in Jesus! There he is, and he's crying to God for us imperfect struggling Christians. Do you all know the Lord of glory as your friend? Do you have a Great High Priest? Do you? At the right hand of God. Is your name written on the palms of his hands in marks of indelible grace? Are you on his heart? You remember the high priest in the Old Testament had a breastplate and the names of the tribes of Israel were written on it. He carried it over his heart; they were precious to him. Our great High Priest carries on his heart the names of all that the Father has given to him and he ever lives for them; he prays for them because he loves them and he longs that where he is, there they will be also, and that they will see his glory. How can you survive without such a great High Priest? How can you face this week, the future, the bustle of the ending of the year, a dark uncertain world without knowing that your King, the one who works all things together for the good of his people, is protecting and shepherding you, interceding for you? What can preserve your sanity without this wonderful and glorious High Priest? Remember how there were people of this persuasion in the Old Testament. "The LORD is my shepherd," they said. "He who watches over Israel slumbers not nor sleeps. The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob. He's our refuge," they said. Well, we know his name, don't we? The Word has become flesh and dwelt amongst us and has ascended and has all authority in heaven and earth, this Great One. He who died for us pleads the merits of his sacrifice for us, he presents the merits of the blood he shed for us, the righteousness he effected and imputes to us, he pleads that before God. What do you have, if you don't have that? What's the alternative? Job spells it out here in chapter 16, verse 22. "Only a few years will pass before I go on the journey of no return." My friends, you know that journey. One of our members went on it last week. You'll go on it too, I'll go on it one day. Much sooner, much much sooner than we plan, we all face this journey of no return. Here him; "My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me. Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility." Here we are being presented with this alternative – an Advocate on high, a Great High Priest praying for you, and there his arms are outstretched in prayer and in welcome in that Great Day. Are mockers surrounding you, and do you have a broken spirit? You are certainly facing the grave. Do you lift up your eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh your help? Your help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. Do you have that help day by day? Or do your eyes, alas, dwell on the hostility of mockers (chapter 17:2)?
We've nothing in our hands. And so we say, "You must be my pledge. My pledge is at the right hand of God. That's the pledge of my acceptance before Thee." This is what God has done for us in Christ. God demands a righteousness, God provides a righteousness, God becomes our righteousness. God demands security, God provides security, God becomes our security. That's the great hope, then, that the Christian has. Well, have you ever come to that stage yet, in realising that all your hope of God ever accepting you and taking you to be with himself forever lies in what the Lord Jesus Christ himself has done for us?
That's a Christian. "What are you basing your hopes of eternal life upon?" we ask people who apply for membership and they all tell us, "Nothing in myself, nothing that I have done, but my faithful Saviour loved me and gave himself for me. He's my forgiveness, he's my acceptance before God. He's my righteousness, he's my pledge before God." God demands it, God provides it, God becomes it. And that's our hope – Jesus Christ, our all in all.
Ye cannot but hold on your way.

Poverty Skola shares latest outrage on Oakland encampment fire
~Post-Homeless: Urgent Poverty Skolaship lessons 4 advocates and activists everywhere~
Poverty Skola' Activist and Creative Artist Lisa "Tiny" Gray-Garcia expresses outrage on evictions after fire at homeless encampment in Oakland, CA
Who: Lisa "Tiny" Gray-Garcia is the founder of Poor Magazine (poormagazine.org). She is an independent reporter, writer, educator, and activist. Over the summer she and PNN Radio co-host Leroy F. Moore reported on the Poor People's March on Washington by embedding with the march for over a week. Her latest book, Poverty Scholarship, is scheduled for release in February 2019.
What: Spoken-word poetry teaches people about the homelessness experience which the corporate world fails to recognize. Poor people are emerging from communities once intact, but now turned into "broken-windows" neighborhoods. Often their apartment buildings are slated for redevelopment by landlords. Once these people are evicted they are considered homeless which exposes them to routine humiliation or exploitation by the nonprofit sector.
Why: Homeless people should not be treated like institutional trash to be used of and disposed. Poor people are often intelligent but displaced human beings who can share their funds of knowledge. Instead they are wrongly targeted by authorities and police who hunt them down. The issues they face happens to every one, but if you are a minority, disabled, and poor, you are more easily taken advantaged of.
How: When you are poor, disabled, and homeless person of color it is much easier to end up with tickets for loitering, be thrown in jail, and have all your belongings confiscated. The Race, Poverty, and Media Justice Institute offers PeopleSkool where professionals and other people can learn about a new kind of scholarship, the Scholarship of Poverty.
According to Lisa "Tiny" Gray-Garcia, it's a new kind of scholarship because the perspective is direct from homeless people:
"This scholarship has a new canon with new designations for greatness. Survival itself, through extreme poverty and crisis, houselessness, racism, disability and welfare to name a few are what you need to qualify for poverty scholarship. Conversely, a person who is formally educated with a Masters Degree and no poverty scholarship would be considered inexperienced and therefore should not be writing, lecturing or legislating on issues that impact communities in poverty."

In order to take advantage of modern save dialog, the save dialog behaviour is changed in the 2 latest releases.
The old behaviour: if user chooses one of the filters, the file name will be concatenated with a file extension.
The new behaviour: the file name won't be concatenated with a file extension if a filter is selected. User has to add the extension manually. The filter is used only for filter files.
@Jeff-Page Could you try this binary then confirm me it's fixed the issues you reported?
Yes I installed 6.8.5 and then replaced the binary with the files you posted and it works now as it used to. Thanks!
I think I found a regression in v6.8.5.
Open a document (C++ source file in my case) and try to quick-search a word (Ctrl+F3 over the word). If it is found it is not always marked green (by the default theme) as it was before but it is grey. All other visible instances of the same word on the screen are also not marked (highlighted). If you scroll the page up and down with the mouse scrolling wheel the smart highlighting sometimes appears and sometimes disappears. This doesn't happen always. With all other conditions the same, the issue has not been observed in 6.8.3.
When doing a "file save as" and "file save a copy as" the file extension seems to be omitted every time. when typing out the extension it works but it does not retain the file extensions as previously. Even if I select PHP file type (in my case) it still does not save it with the ext… i have to physically type out the "DOT.PHP " file extension to save correctly.
I have not installed or removed any other softrware in the period from 6.8.3 when it as last working until i upgraded, so my conclusion that it was maybe another program crashing also not valid. all that it seems to be is the newer versions.
Have tried removing all extra plugins but problem still exists.
Syntax highlighting bug, stylers.xml isn't applied.
@codecodecode2 just close Notepad++, remove your %appdata%\Notepad++\stylers.xml then relaunch your Notepad++.
Could you please fix the problem regarding Installer (is coming from many version ago) about not translated window/items into the installer?
Why don't pout the installer script in Translation section to ask to other guys to help you to fix it?
I don't see why the new behaviour would be OK, even if it is intended behaviour. If I select a file extension in the save dialog, I expect the file to be saved with that extension, so I do not expect to have to add it manually! It is confusing the way it is going now and it is not as expected.
I agree - incredibly annoying.
In the old style dialog: adding extension is just a few lines of code - that's why it has been done.
In the new style dialog: adding extension is just a few miles of code - that's why it is not done.
This issue is still on my radar. I'll see what I do about it.
I don't clearly understand the motivation behind this change. IMHO, when a drop-down's title is "Save as type", it should allow the user to do just that: choose the type he wants his file to be saved as, not filter files in the file-view (otherwise it should have been titled something like "Extension filter").
Nevertheless, even if there's a reasonable motivation behind it, and I'm sure there is, the OLD behavior is a feature as well! Removal of feature X for new, "better" feature Y is not something the user should experience so unexpectedly especially when he has been using feature X for a long time.

When it comes to propellers, "performance" is often assumed to be top speed. In reality, performance also entails a variety of other attributes including hole shot, on-plane efficiency and fuel economy under a load. The Pro Finish Bravo I LT outboard propeller provides all of these traits, but above all else, it significantly optimizes ride quality. The flared exhaust tube lifts the stern. This brings the bow down for a more level ride. The result? Improved handling and a dryer, more comfortable boating experience. The addition of new counter rotation models expand the Bravo I LT's application from right-hand rotation, single engine outboard bay boats and multi-species hulls to multi-engine outboard center consoles.
Mercury® patented Performance Vent System® enables operators to dial-in their propeller for peak planing performance.
This boat has ZERO hours on it. Boat has not been off of the trailer and the engine has not been ran. Arkansas sales tax paid too! Brand new boat at a used price.

Boat is ready for fun in the sun and should only need regular oil changes for the next 3 years. Give us a call for more information.


A haven for wildlife in the heart of town One of the lesser known charms of the Grosvenor and Hilbert Park is the Hilbert Woods Local Nature Reserve.
Officially designated as an LNR in 2000, the reserve forms the northern most point of the park, and includes over 5 hectares of ancient woodland, wildflower grassland, and iron-rich streams. The Kent High Weald Partnership manages the conservation interest of Hilbert Woods LNR on behalf of TWBC. Every year, KHWP organises and leads over 100 days of volunteer work on the reserve, helping to take care of its special habitats and important wildlife.
A key management activity that volunteers have helped to realise over the past decade is the re-introduction of coppicing to Roundabout Woods (with the boardwalk). Hazel trees are cut down to their base on a 6-year cycle. Poles (the larger, straighter growth) are then used as stakes for hedgelaying projects, whilst the brash (thin and leafy branches) are stacked and staked to make habitat piles. These piles create a useful new home for small mammals and invertebrates, and help to protect the growing coppice stools from browsing by the local urban deer population!
Hilbert Woods LNR is well worth a visit throughout the year. Surfaced paths lead into the woodland, with wooden boardwalks and steps helping to keep the wetter areas accessible to all. Veteran oak trees, tall alders and shimmering silver birch feature throughout the woods, and create a colourful backdrop to any nature exploration.


This CEU program consists of 4 streaming videos. Some of the information in this program (FM1, FM2, FM3-4) is included in the longer seminar SEM11A2.
Presented by Mary Benbow, M.S., OTR. Assessing the structure and function of the hand is the first step in identifying specific hand function and writing skill areas requiring attention. This video demonstrates Mary Benbow's protocol for assessing developmental hand function. Forearm and wrist stabilization, separation of the two sides of the hand, arch and web stabilization, precision translation, and rotation are discussed and demonstrated. This video demonstrates efficient hand function and contrasts that with problem examples for each item of the assessment.
Presented by Mary Benbow, M.S., OTR. This video demonstrates the assessment protocol for evaluating cursive writing skills. Range, stability of the structure of the hand, proximal control of the upper extremity, speed and consistency of reproduction, and typical writing problems are discussed. Each item in the assessment protocol is demonstrated with contrasting analysis of efficient and problem performance.
Presented by Mary Benbow, M.S., OTR. Development of good structure and stability of the hand is critical for achieving functional use of the hand. In addition to relevant anatomy of the wrist and hand, this developmental hand program presents activities that promote proximal stability, opening and stabilizing the thumb web space, and development and stabilization of the arches of the hand. These activities provide an effective approach to improving the strength and structure of the hand as preparation for developing fine motor skills and efficient cursive writing skills. In addition, development of good structure and stability of the hand is critical for achieving functional use of the hand. Activities are presented that motorically dissociate the two sides of the hand, isolate skill to the most advantageous motor unit(s), develop precision rotation and translation of the digits. These activities provide an effective approach to improving the strength and structure of the hand as preparation for developing fine motor skills and efficient cursive writing skills.
Presented by Mary Benbow, M.S., OTR. Kinesthetic awareness is an important factor in pre-writing preparation. Kinesthetic training assists in reducing the need for visual-motor monitoring which often interferes with speed and fluidity in writing skills. Automatic awareness that a movement is correct is primary for allowing cognitive attention to learning without conflicting attention to motor organization.

Commonly used as a spice to enhance food flavor, parsley is a herb that also has a number of medicinal properties, among which fighting water retention. However, the amounts we normally add to meals are insufficient to provide all the health benefits this herb has to offer.
For one thing, parsley is extremely beneficial for treating urinary tract infections and kidney diseases because it's a powerful diuretic.
Both parsley leaves and root are used in natural medicine.
This is a recipe for parsley tea shared by a Bosnian woman.
"Parsley is a miracle. On Thursday I weighed 72kg, and two days later I weighed 5kg less. It's about the excess water that was excreted from my body, not the fat. Now I feel great," said the woman.
All you need to do to prepare this health-boosting drink is add 5 tbsps. chopped parsley into 1l boiling water.
Leave it aside for 20 minutes, strain and drink.
What makes this tea so efficient is the fact that it promotes water elimination from the body.
And along with water, you also eliminate many toxins, bacteria and impurities from your body.
As mentioned above, a number of studies confirm that parsley is a powerful diuretic and strong antioxidant.
Note: Consume parsley tea regularly but don't exceed a dose of 1l a day.

Suspect charged after deadly Norfolk shooting
Posted 8:58 pm, February 6, 2018, by Web Staff, Updated at 06:03PM, February 7, 2018
Joseph Burke Jr.
NORFOLK, Va. - A man is in custody after a deadly shooting in the 1300 block of Olinger Street Tuesday night.
Dispatchers received the call at 8:10 p.m. When police arrived at the scene, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Keshawn Alexander.
Keshawn Alexander
Neighbors told News 3's Anthony Sabella there was an argument before shots were fired.
Joseph Burke Jr., 38, was taken into custody at the scene. He was charged with second degree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony.
Police are working to find out what led to the shooting, which is being classified as a homicide. Investigators are not looking for any other suspects at this time and say there is no public threat.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that Alexander was a senior at Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk. Norfolk Public Schools issued the following statement after learning of his death:
This has been an extremely trying week for Norfolk Public Schools (NPS). The passing of a student is never easy to deal with. We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of this untimely death. Keshawn Alexander will be remembered by his family, friends and the NPS community. We send our sincerest condolences and thoughts to all who are affected by this loss.
Additionally, the following letter from Lake Taylor's principal was sent home with students:
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Today has been an emotional day for us at Lake Taylor High School. We were saddened to hear of the untimely death of one of our seniors. We extend our sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
Norfolk Public Schools has provided psychologists, counselors, and extra support staff to assist students and teachers as we make our way through this difficult time. Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for the loss of our student and friend. It is important that we assist our students with any signs of grief they may display.
Resources are available in our school counseling office to help students and our staff to deal with death. Should you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Dr. Robbin Stratton, our head counselor, or me.

The objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that hollow-fibers containing a rejuvenator product can improve both self-healing, rejuvenation and mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures. The hollow-fibers containing a rejuvenator product will be synthesized with a sodium-alginate polymer as the encapsulating material. The encapsulated rejuvenator product will be a commercially-available synthetic oil. An optimization procedure will be performed by varying parameters such as the percentage of emulsifier, percentage of plasticizer, and ratio rejuvenator to polymer used. The thermal stability and tensile strength of the developed fibers will be tested to determine their resistance to asphalt production processes. The optimum fiber percentage will be assessed based on the performance of asphalt blends with different percentages of fibers on a Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) test and based on the performance of asphalt mixtures with different percentages of fibers on a fatigue cracking resistance test. Performance Grading (PG) will be performed on different asphalt blends containing the optimum amount of fibers and/or recycled materials to evaluate the effects of the fibers on the rheological properties of the binder. Similarly, asphalt mixtures containing the optimum amount of fibers and/or recycled materials will be evaluated against low-temperature cracking and rutting susceptibility in a controlled laboratory environment. The healing efficiency of asphalt mixtures containing fibers in two environmental conditions will be quantified by measuring the crack width before healing (day 0) and at different healing periods. Finally, a relationship between undamaged, damaged, and healed stiffness will be evaluated to determine the stiffness recovery at the end of the healing period.


overhead is worse and block length much longer!
tri-speed Ethernet MAC with Marvell Gigabit Phy (and later on a switch).
bit wide SDRAM to keep up with the potential peak data transfer rate.
which would allow for messages to be sent again if needed.
To that level, who didn't have it done?
Me, personally, I lost count for how many times I did it in last 15 years.
But only a transmitters. It's not that UDP reception to pre-configured port would be much harder, I just never had a need for it.
But TCP is a *completely* different story. And then standard application protocols that run on top of TCP.
An indirect solution would be to offload Ethernet to a hard wired UDP/TCP asic.
Wiznet has developed such devices and I have somewhat more than 10k designs in the field that use them.
Unless you require a cheap high volume solution (requiring development, Verification and Validation time and money) then Wiznet may well be a zero time and minimal cost solution.
TCP has the drawback of latency and automatic resends.
In real time application my preference is UDP, packets lost are okay but packets resend by TCP is a waste of bandwidth because these packets are out of date.
My application have been in heavy industry machine vision where fibre is too fragile and RF by line of sight and interference is not suitable.
between network processor / main processor and between kernel and user space.
take advantage of local specialized knowledge rather than pay the "TCP tax".
The devil is indeed in trading off generality for performance.
If you know how to optimise, then optimise.
If you don't know how to optimise, then randomise.


Are you planning a move to a new location? Did you choose a good primary school children is almost more important than choosing a new house? Finding the perfect fit can keep you and your child are a lot of headaches.
You might not realize that when a child of tender years, but the right school can influence the future in many ways. It should be directed towards them from the love of learning and help them is a good educational foundation. The early learning habits affect, or when they enter college. And it can also be a determining factor is that we have a successful career.
Here are some tips on how to ensure you choose the right elementary school when an initial evaluation. Choose wrong and you and your child can suffer the consequences.
In the early years, the relationship between the child and the teacher is essential. These founding years and the bad teacher can break a child's spirit, which can lead to learning does not love to be able to follow them throughout their lives. It has been noted, this relationship is more important than any material.
When a child spends a different amount of time for a loving family environment, you had better get one where they feel accepted and loved as well. Try to find a teacher who is committed to their students. The best way to do this is to speak to him personally.
When I looked around the classroom, you check a lot of books on the shelves. He wants to be around children the opportunity to learn new words they read. Let aside enough time reading and storytelling.
Everyone knows that mathematics is not an object, most children like it, but still have to be introduced in the early years. All this provides a good learning institution in the earliest days. Math concepts can be taught to the youngest child. And if you do not tell your child that you do not enjoy math, but also makes it attractive as a teacher will have a pleasant time teaching math.
No standardized test results of the stress this elementary school. Remember, these scores are only about one-third, which is actually not taught.
Do not choose a primary school, which does not allow a little time for recess and play. I can not stress enough how important the game and practice time. Especially the young years when their bodies and minds are still growing. Studies show playing time increases the cognitive learning process. Avoid institution that does not have a playground, and just concentrate on learning course. Everyone needs a break from time to time are no exception, and children.
Do not forget to better overall school can make or break the future of your child. If you recognize this fact, while the choice, then most likely, you can not go wrong.

The Manuscript Files: A Medieval Marilyn?
Elizabeth Morrison | December 13, 2011 | Less than a minute
Saint John the Evangelist in a 14th-century German manuscript; Marilyn Monroe by an unknown photographer.
The luxuriant locks sported by this medieval figure might seem to say more "Marilyn Monroe" than "Saint John." Both he and the movie star sport hairstyles from the glamorous '40s—in the saint's case, the 1340s.
In the Middle Ages, it was thought that Saint John the Apostle wrote both the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation, known as the Apocalypse. According to Christian tradition, John was the youngest of the disciples, and the most beloved by Jesus. In medieval art, while the other Apostles are usually shown as bearded, balding older men, John is shown as a beautiful beardless youth. Here his abundant, curled hair is another indicator of his youthfulness. It's a head of hair even Marilyn would be jealous of.
The leaf, a recent acquisition by the Getty Museum, went on view this morning in the new exhibition Gothic Grandeur: Manuscript Illumination, 1200–1350, which runs through May 13. I'll be adding more entries to The Manuscript Files on details in these manuscripts over the course of the show.

Thanks for the beautiful image!
Isn't the miniature a copy from or somewhat related to the biblia pauperum with an apocalpyse that was illuminated in Erfurt and now is in Weimar (Anna Amalia library, ms. fol. max. 4) ? amazing!

ts- What a good eye you have! Yes, this leaf comes from a series of individual leaves, others of which are held at Nuremburg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Kupferstichkabinett, (Hz. 1279-1283 and Inv.-Nr. 6412). These leaves once came from a complete manuscript that probably served as the model for the Wiemar manuscript.

Q: Drawing maps with d3.js which contains cities I intend to draw maps using d3.js and geoJson.
I need to plot circles on this map.These circles when hovered should get bigger and display some data inside that.
Also,i need to create a time line scale which will increase and decrease the circles in the map based on the data for that particular time frame.
I am able to draw map with the help of geo JSON file but the problem is how to plot the circles such that when map is moved in the canvass the circle remains at same position inside the map.I mean the circles should be relative to map not relative to canvass.
Secondly I am not able to understand how the coordinate system of maps work.
Any help Please..

DC Theater Review: 'Fairview' at Woolly Mammoth
Jackie Sibblies Drury's "Fairview" offers a powerful, original, and unsettling study of race relations
By Kate Wingfield on September 19, 2019
Fairview — Photo: Teresa Castracane
When it comes to race, gender, and identity, the conversation has only just begun. Humans aren't very good at seeing it from one another's point of view, let alone figuring out a way we can all live together. We are walking into the wind, only a few of us holding hands.
Live theater, for those who partake, is one of the few "safe" places in which this conversation can be pushed, showing the way into these other points of view. But it's more than just that — theater taps into the special attention we give to something happening live in front of us. Even as our minds work to digest and examine, we are as physically present as the actors on the stage.
This defining facet of the theater experience is at the heart of Jackie Sibblies Drury's Fairview (★★★☆☆), a clever but unsettling study of race relations. Using performance, she draws us — sometimes insidiously, sometimes jarringly — through four successive layers of theater, starting with what seems to represent an African-American sitcom and evolving into something much more visceral and almost surreal. Her goal — which is no secret — is to challenge a white audience to recognize and ultimately feel the African-American experience of being forever under scrutiny, forever judged by the good-intentioned, the ignorant, and the awful.
Theatrically and intellectually, her infrastructure is, without doubt, powerful and original. It is the kind of thing that has you saying "wow" days after, as you reflect on the ingeniousness of the concept and the crafting. But — and there is a but — the question must always be: What does this play offer? And here the answer is much thornier.
If Drury's goal is to push white audiences out of their comfort zone, then she gets the job done. There is the subtle and accurate capturing of the easy way people slip into racism and an oblique but increasingly powerful message that white people will never understand what it means to be exposed and on display as black Americans experience it. By the end of the play, Drury has drawn exceedingly uncomfortable, seemingly impossible, lines. She offers no roadmap, no way forward. In that respect, the piece unapologetically touches a nerve in a raw and original way.
But once the dust has settled, the play raises pointed questions. If you are going to turn a vicious eye on the white members of your audience on the premise of unfair societal scrutiny, how do you reconcile the many sub-groups? For starters, what of women and the "gazes" they endure? What of those who have suffered sexual abuse, those in the gay and trans community who may have been ridiculed and brutalized, or Jews whose grandparents were lined up to be shot? Do they need or deserve to get an extra "opportunity" to feel what it's like to be scrutinized? What, if any, value should be assigned to these other human experiences? Has Drury created a context that allows her to ignore them?
The other conundrum here is her use of humor, which charges headlong into the current debate on what is and isn't acceptable in comedy and as offered by whom. In creating the genuinely funny character of Jasmine and then later suggesting that the (presumably) white audience has no place to laugh, Drury adds nothing to the conversation. The fact that blacks and whites in the audience are laughing together fails to interest her.
And then there is the wider, far less exciting reality of who her audience really is, versus who they should be. This work should be performed in locales where it will (hopefully) change hearts and minds. But the truth is that most people who will pay to see this play will already have spent some amount of time sensitizing themselves to the issues — not least through other productions by companies like Woolly.
Chances are, most will be aware of the problem of the swaggering white male who thinks he "gets" being black, the liberal woman who feels she "identifies," or even the cavalier attitude of Europeans who have never lived the complexity of the American experience of race. These audiences may admire the fine skill in how Drury reveals these "types," but most will be well familiar with their failings. As the play travels deeper and deeper into the unfairness of white entitlement, it finally gets to the point where it feels a tad mean-spirited to be beating the metaphorical crap out of a white audience who cares enough to turn up, listen, and try to understand. In the end, Drury seems to be saying it doesn't matter how "woke" you are, just by being white, you will be wrong. And if this really is the message, then what is the point in trying to listen to one another?
Still, director Stevie Walker-Webb and the ensemble do a phenomenal job in activating Drury's vision. The standout in the sitcom family is Shannon Dorsey, walking a fine line on caricature with her Jasmine and delivering laser-like quips with pitch-perfect timing. As Beverly, Nikki Crawford offers an interesting charisma in her stilted character, while as husband Dayton, Samuel Ray Gates starts with some awkwardness, but soon finds his feet.
Perhaps the most challenging role here is that of daughter Keisha, who, after the sitcom and its iterations run their course, serves as a conduit into the final space in which Drury wants to explore scrutiny and race. Chinna Palmer plays the sitcom card reasonably well and segues with much sincerity into the play's final monologue. But as powerful as the context may be and as emotionally focused as Palmer is, in those last moments when you can hear a pin drop, Drury never quite gives Keisha enough to say.
As the viewers and interlopers, Cody Nickell is painfully convincing as the harshly unapologetic Jimbo, while Kimberly Gilbert is equally credible in her plaintive, adamant and misguided Suze. Laura C. Harris brings just the right disdain to her foreign-born Bets, while Christopher Dinolfo's Mack — if not quite recognizable in the intended caricature — works a fan like no other.
Fairview is a finely-crafted disruption and its issues are of vital importance. But it feels more like the end of a conversation than the beginning.
Fairview runs through Oct. 6 at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, 641 D St. NW. Tickets are $20 to $97. Call 202-393-3939 or visit www.woollymammoth.net.

Home University News Research Methodology Workshop concludes in Aligarh Muslim University
Research Methodology Workshop concludes in Aligarh Muslim University
Aligarh: "Universities and their departments of studies are judged and valued on the basis of the research performance and teaching standard, therefore high quality and original research works is of paramount importance", said Dr Shakeel Ahmad, Additional Secretary, University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi, while addressing the valedictory function of the national workshop on Research Methodology and Research Ethics, as chief guest, organised by the Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh.
Dr Shakeel Ahmad urged the participants of the workshop, especially faculty members to submit research proposals under different new research schemes launched by various funding agencies.
Describing his long experience of research and administrative work in academic institutions, he said, such workshops are very helpful in guiding research scholars and grooming students.
Guest of Honour, Prof SP Singh, (Department of Humanities, University of Roorkee) appreciated and praised the Department of Geography for its academic excellence. He said that research is based on concepts, thought, ideas, shifting paradigms, visualization of tangible and non-tangible changes in nature and society. Techniques and methodology are weapons of research, he added.
Twenty-one day long (9-30 November, 2019) workshop was sponsored by the University?s UGC-HRDevelopment Centre.
The programme was coordinated by Prof Nizamuddin Khan, under the guidance of Prof AR Kidwai, Director, UGC-HRD centre.
Welcoming the guests, Prof Ateeque Ahmad (Chairperson, Department of Geography) said, the workshop is significant for harnessing research skills of the young scholars.
Prof AR Kidwai appreciated the efforts of the Coordinator and Chairperson of the department for organising the programme in a very systematic way. He urged the participants to do quality research and publish their research in high indexed and high impact journals.
Prof Qazi Mazhar Ali, (Dean Faculty of Sciences) emphasized on the need to integrate between qualitative and quantitative techniques of research for a rational and impactful research. He also advised the scholars to use latest software for effective research outcomes.
Presenting a brief report of the workshop, Prof Nizamuddin Khan, (Coordinator of the workshop), said that the workshop was completed in 21 working days in 63 sessions. 26 resource persons from different disciplines delivered lectures on different issues of research methodology and research ethics. Nine resource persons were from Geography, followed by three each from Statistics, and Political Science; two each from Economics and Agricultural Economics; and one each from Botany, Psychology, Geology, Library and Information Science, Civil Engineering and Unani Medicine. Participants were from Geography, Law, Political Science, Sociology, History, Sanskrit, Geology, Agriculture, Botany, Education and West Asian Studies, he added.

If you're looking for the best cocktails (and swankiest bar experience in Austin), The Roosevelt Room is a must. We've visited a number of the world's best bars, and The Roosevelt Room is the Austin bar that approaches that level of sophistication.
and an inch deep (i.e., they have everything and nothing ends up being particularly outstanding) but The Roosevelt Room team has done a really good job with keeping everything high quality.
The attention to detail was really impressive, from the elegantly placed rose petal on the Lonesome Dove to the smoking cinnamon stick in a crystal ashtray on the Cigar Box. It's the type of cocktail bar that's dangerous to go to because you end up wanting everything you see.
Halfway through our experience, we discovered that the guy sitting next to us that we'd been chatting with all evening was the previously the bar director at the NoMad hotel in New York and had worked at Flora Bar. The Roosevelt Room met his approval too. We actually ended up heading out with him to another bar after The Roosevelt Room, which was not as sophisticated, so the lesson learned is once you're at The Roosevelt Room, stay at the Roosevelt Room.

Staff at the Centre
Stoke Park Infant School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy and Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed in the section below.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies, when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Emma-Jane Chales (Head teacher). Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads are Mrs Jane Brennan (Deputy Headteacher), Mrs Penny Earl (Resource Provision Manager), Mrs Donna Bright (Home School Link Worker/ELSA), Mrs Holly Wells (Pupil Premium Lead). The Governor with responsibility for safeguarding in our school in Mrs. Tracey Morgan.
Anyone can make a referral to children's services if they have a concern regarding a child. The contact number is 0300 555 1373.
Partnership with Stoke Park Junior School
We work closely with our Junior School on matters of Safeguarding and Child Protection to support families who have children in both schools. We also share information regarding concerns so that we can offer full support to families in need, those on child in need plans or child protection plans; this ensures that we all have a full picture and can offer the right support.
Whilst lots of parents and carers really enjoy seeing photos and videos of their children's school life we are very mindful of our duty of care towards all our pupils. We take the issue of safeguarding very seriously and this includes the use of photographic and video images.
Any photographs or videos taken by parents, carers and relatives at school productions, sports days or other events are for the enjoyment of individual families. They must not be used in any way that could potentially place a child at risk. This would include publishing images in any form of print or on the internet including social networking sites. This is emphasised before concerts and shows etc and where practical a record of parents and relatives taking photographs or videos is made.
We understand that in exceptional circumstances a parent or carer may not wish their child to be photographed or videoed in this way. If this is the case then please contact the headteacher to discuss how this can be best achieved.
Occasionally, the local press will be invited to take photographs of school events and special achievements. We like to use photographs of our children on our website, in school documents, for parent information meetings, newsletters and on our display screens around the school. If you do not wish photographs of your child to be used for these purposes, then please contact the Head teacher.
