This complex project involved working with Gieves & Hawkes for a complete refurbishment of offices above their occupied and busy shop in this prestigious location at 1 Savile Row. A grade II listed building, it was the headquarters of the Royal Geographical Society up until 1912, when was bought by the tailors Hawkes & Co. in part because the firm had dressed so many explorers.
Following a complete strip out of all floors, a roof mansard extension and side extension were constructed above the main building on Savile Row and the old Royal Geographical Society map room facing Vigo Street – retaining the existing antique glass roof in its entirety and increasing the office space available to over 10,000 sq.ft.
Externally the building was sympathetically renovated, decorated with feature lights and a dedicated entrance added on VigoStreet.


Mozambique is a young country, but its history stretches back many centuries. It's a long coastal country that touches South Africa at its southernmost border and Tanzania and Malawi on its north. In between are 30 million people from myriad nationalities and cultures who find common ground in enjoying Mozambique's natural and cultural riches.
The AISM campus is between the neighborhoods of Costa do Sol and Sommershield, a five-minute walk to the Indian Ocean. We share a street with two other international schools, bringing plenty of activity on most days and weekends.
Our lives at AISM are enriched by the area's notable flora, fauna, foods, and cultural icons. A sampling of the what you'll see, smell, and enjoy follows.
Every day, we are treated to beautiful sunrises and gorgeous sunsets. The days start early here, with sunrise generally at around 05:00 and sunset at around 18:00. This allows us to orient many of our activities around the plentiful sunshine and warm, subtropical climate. Even AISM's neighborhood, Costa Do Sol (Sun Coast) describes our daily reality!
The pinks, the oranges, the greens, the reds—these colors surround you when you walk around the school grounds, the city, and the neighborhood.
When you walk onto the school grounds, you immediately hear the colony of southern masked weavers that nest in the trees on campus. The nests that the male weaver makes for his mate are either used or cut away and "discarded," and are fun to collect and display.
This habanero pepper spice is everywhere! And it is tasty! It's used on grilled chicken and on shrimp. Whether you purchase it in a store or use your own homemade recipe, peri-peri adds to the spice of the city.
All along the shore, you will see colorful dhow boats. The dhow is the traditional style of boat indigenous to this region of Africa. Fishermen make their own sails and cast out every day to make their catch and then sell it along the roadside or at the fish market.
Have you noticed the design on the web site? The banner is our own custom capulana design. The capulana is the traditional bright patterned fabric worn by many many people in Mozambique. At AISM, we even have Capulana Friday!

Lev Tahor leaders controlled care of children, hearing told
Mar 19, 2014 • March 20, 2014 • 2 minute read
LONDON, Ont. -- The care of the Lev Tahor kids who settled in this area last fall seemed to be controlled by community leaders, not their own parents, an Ontario court heard earlier this month.
Details of the hearing held March 5 behind closed doors in Chatham, Ont., are contained in a transcript released Wednesday in response to a request from several media outlets.
The ultra-orthodox Jewish sect fled Quebec last fall amid a child-welfare probe, and settled in Chatham. They deny allegations of child abuse and neglect, including forced marriages of girls as young as 14.
The hearing was held after 14 children left Chatham in violation of a court order. At the conclusion of the hearing, a judge issued an emergency seizure order.
Six of the children were since intercepted in Trinidad, two others in Calgary. Six others are thought to be in Guatemala.
Ted Heath of Chatham Kent Children's Services testified at the hearing that most of the agency's concerns revolved around the lack of education for girls in the community and arranged underage marriages.
The children appeared clean, fed and unbruised, he said.
There was always food in the fridges of the families who moved to Spurgeon's Villa last November.
There were toys, too -- though they were usually kept in boxes or appeared "staged" and not age-appropriate for the kids in the home -- but that seemed to be the doing of three men who act as community spokespeople, Heath said.
"They control food in the community, the way (others) dress," he testified.
"The leaders pay their rent. It seems to be up to the leaders, not up to the parents to provide (for children)," Heath said. "(Community members) don't have the freedom of choice."
That's why the sight of those leaders -- Uriel Goldman, Mayer Rosner and Nachman Helbrans -- jumping into a van and driving away, moments after family service workers arrived March 4 to check on families who had been ordered to stay put, raised red flags, Heath said.
"Usually all three are there and make the decisions," he said.
At the end of the hearing, Superior Court Justice Lynda Templeton ordered the kids be tracked down and immediately apprehended based on the original accusations of abuse, which haven't been tested in court.

Few days ago I have been working on some new mobile landing pages. One of the most important part of a landing page is that has to be fast to load and create user interaction.
On the web there are many ways to track user's mouse movements and create some nice heatmap.
On mobile there is no mouse but touch event. I turn on then a small test using Google Analytics.
I then created a small page to draw the canvas on top of an image.
The final result is an image with all the points the users interact with.
I'm quite happy of the results. A considerable number of users interact with the call to action button in the middle of the page.
I'm surprise about the touch that happen at the corner of the screen. An other consideration is the number of users that check the page in landscape mode. And the landing is not optimizzed for landscape mode. I have to take care of in in the next few days.


This tutorial shows you the code to use to move your Ionic 2 mobile app development project over to the new Ionic 3 framework.
In this tutorial, we are going to create a brand new ionic 2 project, then migrate it to the new ionic 3. The news with Ionic 3 is that it works with a newer version of angularjs (v4) and with a newer version of typescript, which now supports mixins! Mixins help you reuse logic, a similar concept to multiple inheritance but with a twist to avoid the diamond problem.
Angularjs Dependency: from version 2 to version 4.
Ionic Dependency: from version 2 to version 3.
Typescript Depenency: from 2.0/1 to 2.2.
StatusBar and SplashScreen are updated from using static methods to using injected providers. This is a better code practice; it's always better to inject parameters instead of using static methods because it enables more natural and fluid unit tests. You see, when you inject an object, you can always inject a different object from your tests in order to test different functionality. This is much better than using "magic" libraries which replace your object under the scenes such as different mockery libraries. Your code should be purely unit testable rather than manipulated magically by libraries.
Add SplashScreen to provider list so that it can be further injected to requiring clients.
Add StatusBar to provider list so that it can be further injected to requiring clients.
Update the usage of StatusBar and SplashScreen to the provided instances statusBar and splashScreen instead.
statusBar.styleDefault(); // use provided instances instead, dependency injection rules!
2. Add imports for BrowserModule and HttpModule .
Upgrading from Ionic v2 to Ionic v3 is rather straightforward. All you need to do is update your package.json to support Angular4, TypeScript 2.2, and Ionic 3. Then, update the reference from standard SplashScreen to the dependency injected one, and finally, update your BrowserModule and HttpModule- if used- to be imported!

It seems that the merger of two AIADMK warring factions in Tamil Nadu could be dragged after the rebel camp led by O Panneerselvam on Thursday toughen its stand by asserting that talks with regard to reunion will be held only if the rival group headed by chief minister Edappadi Palaniswami officially sacks jailed V K Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dhinakaran from the party.
Similarly, Panneerselvam faction also made it clear that the present Edappadi Palaniswami's government should give its recommendation to the Centre for a thorough CBI probe into the "mysterious" death of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa.
"First, they (Palaniswami group) should get the resignation letter from them (Sasikala and Dhinakaran). Then, they should officially dismiss them through a party communique", former minister K P Munusamy, who is in Panneerselvam's camp said.
Munusamy said Edappadi group should sack both of them from the party the same way done by late Jayalalithaa by also using the same terms that ''they were expelled for anti-party activities and the party functionaries should not have any contacts with them''.
He also accused finance minister D Jayakumar for not disclosing the name of Sasikala when he announced the ouster of Dhinakaran and his family members from the party on Tuesday night. "Why he did not spell Sasikala's name while announcing the removal of Dhinakaran from the party", he questioned.
Making much more tougher task for the rival group, Munusamy said said the rival group should also withdraw the affidavit from the Election Commission (EC), which had endorsed Sasikala as AIADMK general secretary and Dhinakaran as party's deputy general secretary.
"In addition, the Edappadi government should also send its recommendation to the Centre for a thorough CBI probe into the mysterious death of "Amma" (Jayalalithaa)", he said adding that "If they do not accept our demands, there is no possibility of talks".
Reacting to Panneerselvam camp's assertive demands, Edappadi group said that it has not put any conditions for the talks and only Panneerselvam's side have done that.
"We have formed a committee, which has not put any demands for the talks. What we want is..the talks should carry on without any hurdles", Rajya Sabha MP R Vaithilingam, who is in the Edappadi group said.
With regard to dismissing Sasikala from the party, he said already Dhinkaran and his family members was totally sidelined and there is not question of sacking each of his family members separately.
On withdrawal of the affidavit filed before the EC endorsing Sasikala and Dhinakaran as the general Secretary and deputy general secretary of the party respectively, Vaithilingam, who is accompanied by several ministers, said it is fair that both the groups should approach the Commission for doing the work after the talks.
Referring to the Pannerselvam's another demand for a CBI probe into Jayalalithaa's death, he said the matter was subjudice as a petion is pending before Madras High Court.

Chapter 4 : Neolithic 2 Khiam (Pages 221-223)
El Khiam is the third site in Palestine at which Neolithic 2 remains have been found stratified over Neolithic 1 occupation. This material was recovered from the topmost level, level A, in Neuville's excavations. This level was sub-divided into three, A1 which was a surface deposit ccntained mixed Neolithic 2, Chalcolithic, Byzantine and Islamic artifacts and A2 and A3 which were Neolithic 2 deposits altghough they also contained some material from earlier levels. These levels corresponded to Echegeray's levels 2 (Prototahunian) and 1 (Tahunian) which was subdivided into 1a and 1b. The only structures in these deposits were a straight stone wall and some hearths found by Echegeray in level 1b.
The raw material for the flint tools was obtained locally as in earlier levels. A very little obsidian was supported in the form of blades. One piece frcm level 6 analysed by neutron activation proved to be from a source in the Acigol region (See Page 81 in *1). Most of the tools were made on blades but these were struck off pyramidal cores and so were relatively small. Arrowheads were one of the most numerous classes of tools and there were several types of these. Most were tanged although there were a few pressure-flaked leaf-shaped points. Some of the tanged arrowheads had pairs of notches along the blade while most of the others had wings or sharply-defined shoulders. These types of arrowheads were found both at Nahal Oren I and PPNB Jericho but the El Khiam examples were frequently extensively retouched with pressure-flaking.
Burins were very common in these levels at El Khiam, the principal types being angle and dihedral burins. End-scrapers on blades were also numerous but outnumbered by small flake disc scrapers. Other types such as sickle blades were less frequent. These were backed irregular blades of which only a few had any edge retouch. This type is different from those found on other Palestinian and West Syrian sites partly because a different core technique was used. The scarcity of sickle blades may reflect the unsuitability of the environment for agriculture.
Some larger flint tools were found, among them flaked tranchet axes, chisels and picks. There were also a very few flaked and polished axes. Ground store tools were abundant. Most of these were made of local limestone but a few were of basalt probably obtained from northern Palestine or Transjordan. These included pestles and mortars as well as rubbers and querns. There were one or two decorated stone objects and also fragments of a few limest one bowls. No mention was made of other finds in the reports so it does not seem likely that many bone tools or decorative items were found.
This whole deposit at El Khiam was no more than 1.5 metres deep although one should remember that some of the original material would have washed down the slope of the terrace. The site was probably occupied intermittently in Neolithic 2 like Nahal Oren though there are indications that El Khiam continued to be used for a longer period. If one considers the typology of the arrowheads in level A then it is clear that they include both notched arrowheads recalling those of Neolithic 1 and heavily pressure-flaked examples which in Syria where the deposits are well-dated would be late 7th or even 6th millennium in date. Throughout the Levant there was a tendency for pressure-flaking to be used more extensively towards the end of Neolithic 2 and into the 6th millennium. While this cannot be taken as a precise chronological indicator the presence of many heavily pressure-flaked arrowheads at El Khiam does suggest that the site continued to be visited after occupation at Nahal Oren I and PPNB Jericho had ceased .....

And yet, throughout the poem, the reader still feels a sense of danger in the fairies' words; their world may not be so immune to weeping as they think. Indeed, they are often the cause of the sorrow they disdain. After all, they are stealing a human child (a common occurrence in fairy stories), a child with parents, siblings, and grandparents who love him. And they beguile the boy with visions of "vats full of berries and the reddest stolen cherries." They are tempting him with stolen fruit, which shouldn't strike the reader as the least bit innocent.
Both the fairies and humans in Moore's masterpiece are afflicted with this second desire, and the film is a fairy tale in refutation of it, a gorgeous and weighty argument for why the right response to pain and suffering is not avoidance, but love.
In the beginning of the film, we see how each character responds to the tragedy of losing Bronach by denying the full force of their suffering, and thus also of love. They do not speak their pain, but hide it in various ways. Conor becomes quiet and inattentive, remembering the anniversary of his wife's departing by going to the local bar for a beer. Granny's house and car are littered with plastic containers of medicine, which she takes whenever she seems to feel anything beyond a kind of melancholic stupor. "It's not safe in this awful place," she says, "I need to take my medicine." On the car ride back to her house inland, she tells Ben, who had just left his home, his father, and his best friend Cú that there will be "No tears in this car or my house." It should be noted that she is not cruel in a vindictive way, she simply denies any emotion, and thus becomes stony, cold, and hard. Ben reacts to his mother's death in yet a third way, though like the others he denies the full weight of it. His grief causes him to be fearful and angry. He treats his sister poorly, seeming to hold her responsible for his mother's death, and, in one particular scene, is afraid when Cú drags him into the ocean, even though it's so shallow that there is absolutely no possibility of drowning.
Caught in between these two worlds are the selkies, Conor's wife and Saoirse, his daughter. In Irish legend, a selkie is a type of fairy creatures able to change shape from a seal to human. In the film, Saoirse acts as the key to saving both her human family and the fairy world, which are visually intertwined in remarkable ways.
Conor is often shown in the same pose and the stone Mac Lir, and in one particular scene, his shadow cast upon the wall is in the exact same bowed pose. In the same scene, Saoirse's shadow looks like a seal. Granny and Macha share an owl-like appearance, and Granny is frequently bringing with her a caged bird. Her license plate reads OW45. Where Macha is surrounded by glass jars which she uses to trap her emotions, Granny is surrounded by pill containers, which metaphorically serve the same purpose. Young Ben, like Mac Lir, is best friends with his dog. The fairy mound in the middle of the city is similar in shape to the holy well the children use for shelter. The ferry boat's name is Caol na Mara, which is Gaelic for song of the sea, and we eventually see that, while the ferry transports people, the song transports fairies. The transmission towers seen when Ben and Saoirse are finding their way home look like owls.
The visuals in the film, though, are not merely present to show connections between the worlds, they are also charged with emotional cues. When the children are forced to leave their father and their island home, it begins to rain. The color during the majority of the film is blue and purple, the color of sorrow. During Saoirse's song, though, the color changes to a comforting gold and red.
I have never seen a film that is so iconic. Icons in Orthodox tradition are described frequently as "windows into Heaven." They are a representation, but also more than that, of a reality that is beyond our current vision. In some ways, they are very similar to the Celtic idea of "thin places," locations in the natural world where the physical and spiritual realms meet, a place where a sense of the divine is more tangible than usual. Present in both icons and thin places is the idea that what we can see with our eyes is not really all that is there.
For the characters in the film and also the viewer, Song of the Sea is, in some ways, just like this. It is a visual representation of a story, but also more than that. Through what is seen, a greater understanding of intangible ideas is possible. In this case, the ideas explored are sorrow, pain, and most especially love. What the film has to say on those subjects to the viewer, and what the characters in the film learn of them, is truly remarkable.
The viewers, as well as the grandmother in one scene, are given a visual prodding that love is the right response to pain and suffering. On the wall of the grandmother's house is a Catholic picture of Jesus of the Sacred Heart. In such pictures, Christ is usually seen with his wounded hands pointing toward his heart, which is itself wrapped in a crown on thorns.
Song of the Sea aims to understand the nature of love and grief more fully. Is a shrinking of ones ability to love worth taking away any kind of pain? "If someone said they could take the that pain away, would you let them?" Macha asks Ben. The film's response is nothing more or less profound than Bronagh's tears which, prayer-like, float up to Heaven.
A film such as this, one that refuses to be cynical in an all too cynical culture and gives something as beautifully strong and tender as love freedom to roam in a magical world, ought to be celebrated. At the risk of sounding sentimental myself, I will say that the best films are the ones that leave the heart full, and Song of the Sea is one of the very best. To quote Yeats again, fairy and folk-tales "are the literature of a class for whom every incident in the old rut of birth, love, pain, and death has cropped up unchanged for centuries: who have steeped everything in the heart." Song of the Sea is just this kind of story. Each "incident in the old rut" is beautifully present. The film, perhaps better than any I have seen, gives voice to the longing in each Christian for the world to come, when all will be perfect and the "old rut" no more, a world in which love, in its full expression, cannot be attended with sorrow.

The Monolith, Reconsidered
America, Basketball, NBA, Sports
"Salieri pours poison into Mozart's glass," Mikhail Vrubel
The popular perception of Antonio Salieri, if the stage and film versions of Amadeus are to be believed, is that he was the unforgiving rival of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the man who championed the Austrian composer publicly while attempting to derail his career privately, like a southbound A train without a supportive governor for assistance. The film, of course, used poetic license to an extreme in the cases of both Salieri and Mozart, suggesting that, while there was some sense of rivalry, there was also a begrudging respect, manifested in the fact that Salieri conducted a handful of Mozart's works both while the composer was alive and afterward.
A physical specimen of uncommon stature, even by 2017 standards, Russell Westbrook is not the prototypical NBA player. He stands at a modest 6'3" and weighs an everyman-esque 200 pounds[1], yet he in his 6'3", 200-pound frame has done more in an athletic context, pound for pound, than perhaps anyone else (a) not playing upper echelon European soccer, (b) not an NFL quarter- or halfback, if that counts, or (c) named Allen Iverson[2]. On Monday night, for his efforts this past season, one which was forgotten in June but will never, ever be forgotten, Westbrook was awarded this season's Most Valuable Player.
Basketball, NBA

Since their move from New Jersey in the summer of 2012, the current Brooklyn Nets franchise has had a grand total of two (2) NBA All-Stars. The most recent is the ageless, egoless, nearly-anonymous Joe Johnson[1], fresh off eviscerating unsuspecting foes with his iso-heavy wizardry and shooting among the best percentages of his career in both the regular season and playoffs with the Utah Jazz.
The other is a twin with a noted fondness for everything Disney and cats. He toiled for several years with a team that squeaked into the playoffs in 2015 before descending into what is essentially indentured servitude to the Boston Celtics, a lottery-bound squad without recourse that has racked up a grand total of 41 wins over the past two seasons. Following a pre-draft trade with the Los Angeles Lakers, perhaps, finally, Brook Lopez will be able to find peace.

At what point, if at all, did you dare to dream? You knew the circumstances, the insurmountable odds, the fact that a championship team followed up its title by winning 73 games only to lose in Internet-infamous fashion, perhaps spurring the acquisition of the second (which, he loves that, and don't let his championship and Finals MVP tell you otherwise)-best basketball player on the planet. You knew this.
And yet, you dared to think, if only for a moment, what calamity it would be, what a catastrophic occurrence for the foundation of the game of basketball it would be if the Golden State Warriors, featuring three of perhaps the five best shooters in NBA history, lost in the Finals after leading 3-0. I know you did, because I did too. We both knew better but wanted to stave off the anger of Durant joining this team and ending any reasonable expectation of the all-important "parity" in the NBA for the next 3-5 years. As it is, it shall be.
What LeBron Owes Us
Is he the Greatest Of All-Time? To answer that question in the affirmative, some folks believe that LeBron James must defeat these Golden State Warriors, after requiring he defeat them last year and the year before that. By having any spots, his Finals record already pales in comparison to Michael Jordan's, albeit in a vastly different basketball landscape.
This fact alone seems to power most of the counterarguments against James, whose shadow grows with every impossibility realized. And yet, it is never enough. What would silence the criticism?
Allora, in a word, nothing.
Let's settle this MJ vs LeBron debate TODAY.
By tbfiles
Wow, this is a freaky photo.
Confession: I really hate pretty much every "Let's debate who was the better player!" discussions. Because they're not really discussions. We always just talk in circles. We always (particularly when talking about athletes in team sports) use team accomplishments to judge individual players. It's just a time suck. And no one comes away with a different outlook! It's never worth the effort.
The current "Let's Talk In Circles" debate about Michael Jordan vs. LeBron isn't even a *new* one. But the arguments for either side are always the same. From "Michael never lost a Finals!" to "LeBron beat a 73-win team!" to "Jordan played in an era where the play was more physical" to "LeBron never had a Scottie Pippen!"—it's all so boring.
So what are we doing today? I, Jordy McKever, will for sure determine (with, like, the best criteria, of course) who was the better…um, dude. Oh, did you think this would be talking about basketball? Oh, come on, I just spent 100 words trashing that kind of debate!
Rediscovery, and the Cavs Bus for Hope

"One man. One bus. Three hundred and sixty miles of simulated post-apocalyptic desert, and the endless struggle between man and nature personified."
So begins the description of the iTunes version of Desert Bus, a minigame which originated on Sega and the PC within the world of Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors and which has been hailed by some, including The New Yorker, as "the very worst video game ever created." It is a testament to futility, yet one which allows for the possibility, however minimal and cockamamie, of victory. Drive the distance from Tucson to Las Vegas, in painstaking real time and with the bus constantly swerving just so to the right, and be rewarded with a single, solitary point. The game cannot be paused.
The metaphor you likely saw coming: LeBron James is the driver of this bus. Each game of these Finals is likely to be his own, personal trek to Las Vegas[1] on behalf of a nation that unwittingly bought a ticket. We're all aboard for the rubber match of a rivalry that is set to define this revolutionary half-decade of NBA basketball, a handful of years which will determine the course of the league, and its game, for a long while. But first, of course, must come the unmanageable task of the series itself.

Sources: Chris Watt out as Tulane offensive line coach
BY GUERRY SMITH | Contributing writer

Published Jan 6, 2022 at 5:49 pm | Updated Jan 6, 2022 at 6:12 pm
While Tulane football coach Willie Fritz searches for a new offensive coordinator, he also needs an offensive line coach.
Multiple sources said Thursday that Chris Watt was not been retained for a second season after joining the staff on short notice last March. Watt, a Notre Dame graduate assistant in 2020, was an emergency replacement for George Barnett, who left to become offensive line coach at Iowa one day into spring drills.
Whomever Fritz hires will be his fourth line coach in a little more than a year. Cody Kennedy, who held the position from 2019 to 2020, left for Southern Miss with former Wave offensive coordinator Will Hall in December of 2020 (then quickly moved on to be tight ends coach at Arkansas). Barnett replaced Kennedy after spending the previous seven years at Miami (Ohio), coaching the Wave in the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Nevada before his abrupt departure in March.
Watt served as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame in 2020 — his first year in coaching — after working as a talent developer for high school players in camps. Fritz hired him in large part because of his connection to then-Tulane offensive coordinator Chip Long, a former Notre Dame offensive coordinator who left for a similar position at Georgia Tech after the Wave finished 2-10 this season.
Watt played for Notre Dame from 2011-13, was taken in the third round of the NFL draft in 2014 and had a brief stint with the Saints before retiring because of injury in 2017.
Tulane's offense was unproductive this season, ranking eighth in the American Athletic Conference in scoring, and the issues extended to the line. The Wave, which returned three full-time starters on the offensive line plus four part-time starters, allowed the third-most sacks (32) in the American Athletic Conference and averaged the fewest yards rushing (164.9) in Fritz's six years despite having only one significant injury on the offensive line — to second-year player Trey Tuggle.
Fifth-year senior guard Corey Dublin, senior tackle Joey Claybrook, junior center Sincere Haynesworth and second-year tackle Rashad Green started all 12 games. Third-year guard Caleb Thomas started 10 times.
The new line coach figures to go hand-in-hand with the new offensive coordinator. On national signing day, Fritz said he would proceed carefully before picking a replacement for Long, pointing out Tulane players would not return to campus from Christmas break until Jan. 18.
"This is a critical hire for me," he said. "I'm not going to take my time so much that I might lose some candidates going other places, but I'm also not going to rush it where I make an incorrect decision."

The Green Wave was in position to win twice at the end of regulation, but the Pirates hit a tying 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds left and Kevin Cross's would-be game winner at the buzzer rolled off the rim after going halfway down.

FM - Listening on FM is usually best for casual listening, it's free and available all over Hua Hin on a portable FM radio or car radio. Our primary service area covers the beach side of the hills from just south of Cha-Am south through Hua Hin to Khao Tao, good reception is available up to and just over the hills at HinLek Fai and further in places.
Fair reception is available out side our primary area but may be patchy due to the shadow effect caused by the hills, where you are located on the opposite side of the hill to the radio station.
There are several types of interference which may effect reception such as.
Electrical, atmospheric, Co-Channel and others.
1) Electrical interference, caused by overhead power cables sparking or have poor contact.
2) Some traffic lights and other signals may radiate interference.
3) LED lights and dimmer light switches.
4) Faulty electrics in the car such as air conditioning, brakes or an alternator.
Occasionally weather conditions reflect distant radio signals into our area, this is most common during the dry season with clear skies, often at the beginning or end of the day as temperatures are in the process of change.
This usually means interference from another radio station on the same channel or close to our channel 102.5.
Many choose to listen via a tablet, phone, internet radio or music streaming system such as Sonos, this provides very reasonable quality audio. Ideally you would use the internet via a WiFi at home or building.
We suggest you listen via our website: surf1025.com.
A search on Google will show other listening options.
If you regularly view streaming video on the go then you may need more, however radio - audio is much more economical. With cost and reliability in mind we stream at a low bit rate (64KBPS) which generally provides good reliability on the go while offering very reasonable audio quality.
The advantage with the mobile network is you can listen on your mobile device, then connect that device via an audio cable or Bluetooth to your car audio system. You can then continue to use your mobile device for other activities while listening.
The mobile data network allows reception all over the country and further.
again, consider how much data you will need.
There are few FM radio's available in stores, however several good Bluetooth speakers, some will also receive FM.
See this :JBL HORIZON clock radio.

Resistance to imipenem and meropenem was observed in 211 (16.5%) isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered in a Greek university hospital during 1996 to 1998. In six isolates selected from throughout this period, high-level resistance to both carbapenems (MICs ≥ 128 μg/ml) was associated with production of the class B β-lactamase VIM-1. bla VIM-bearing isolates belonged to serotype O:12 and were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common nosocomial pathogen, particularly among immunocompromised patients. Carbapenems, mainly imipenem and meropenem, are potent agents for the treatment of infections due to multiresistant pseudomonads. These drugs have considerable β-lactamase stability and overall have the broadest spectrum of activity compared with other β-lactams (9). Resistance to carbapenems in P. aeruginosais mostly low level (MIC, 8 to 32 μg/ml): imipenem resistance typically reflects reduced uptake as a result of loss of the OprD porin, and resistance by this mechanism codepends on continued expression of the chromosomal AmpC β-lactamase; resistance to meropenem, but not to imipenem, can arise via overexpression of the MexA-MexB-OprM efflux system (9, 15). High-level resistance to carbapenems (MIC >32 μg/ml) is still uncommon in P. aeruginosa but can be caused by the presence of class B β-lactamases (2). IMP-1 was the first metallo-β-lactamase described in P. aeruginosa(20). Its gene, bla IMP, has been dispersing among P. aeruginosa and other gram-negative rods in Japan and has also been reported from Singapore and South Korea (5, 16; K. Lee, Y. Chong, H. B. Shin, and D. Yong, Abstr. Intersci. Conf. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., abstr. E-85, 1998). The association of bla IMP with integron elements and the intensive use of carbapenems in Japan apparently contributed to the dissemination of this resistance determinant (16). In Europe, IMP-1, or a close relative, has been recognized only in a highly imipenem-resistant strain ofAcinetobacter baumannii isolated in Italy (3). A carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa clinical isolate from a patient at a second Italian hospital produced a novel class B β-lactamase, VIM-1, which conferred high-level resistance to imipenem and meropenem (6).
Between 1996 and 1998, 1,276 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were obtained from 973 inpatients at the AHEPA University Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece. Identification was performed with the PASCO system (Difco, Detroit, Mich.), used according to the manufacturer's instructions. MICs of antipseudomonal drugs, except carbapenems, were determined with the PASCO microdilution system and applying the criteria prescribed by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) (12). Susceptibility to imipenem and meropenem was determined by agar disk diffusion in accordance with NCCLS recommendations (13). For selected isolates, MICs of imipenem and meropenem and other antipseudomonal drugs were determined by an NCCLS-recommended agar dilution method using Mueller-Hinton agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, United Kingdom) containing serial twofold dilutions of antibiotic and a final inoculum of 104 CFU/spot. Most antibiotics were purchased from a commercial source (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.), but imipenem was obtained from Merck Sharp & Dohme (West Point, Pa.) and meropenem was obtained from Zeneca (Wilmington, Del.). O serotypes were determined by the slide agglutination test of the International Antigenic Typing Scheme as previously described (7). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of XbaI-digested genomic DNA was performed with a CHEF-DRII system (Bio-Rad, Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom) (11). Banding patterns were compared visually.
For β-lactamase studies, freeze-thawed cell extracts (10) were clarified by centrifugation and tested for their ability to hydrolyze imipenem by UV spectrophotometry at 297 nm and 37°C. Transfer of imipenem resistance was attempted by conjugation using recipient strains of Escherichia coli, 26R793 (Lac− Rifr; kindly provided by E. J. Threlfall, Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens, Central Public Health Laboratory), and P. aeruginosa, PU21 (Rifr) (4). P. aeruginosa clinical strains carrying transferable plasmids were used as controls (19). Transconjugants were selected on Mueller-Hinton agar containing imipenem, 4 μg/ml, and rifampin, 400 μg/ml.bla IMP and integron-associated gene cassettes were amplified with published primers and conditions (8,16). In order to investigate the presence ofbla VIM, a 261-bp internal fragment of the gene was amplified with the primers 5′-AGT GGT GAG TAT CCG ACA G-3′ (forward) and 5′-ATG AAA GTG CGT GGA GAC-3′ (reverse), corresponding to nucleotides 1339 to 1599 of the published sequence (6). The conditions were an initial denaturation of 94°C for 5 min; 30 cycles of amplification at 94°C for 25 s, 52°C for 40 s, and 72°C for 50 s; and a final extension at 72°C for 6 min. Thebla VIM product from one isolate was labeled with digoxigenin-11-dUTP (Roche, Lewes, United Kingdom) in a second-round PCR and used as a probe in hybridization experiments with hybrids detected colorimetrically on Southern blots of DNA, as recommended by the manufacturer.
The proportions of P. aeruginosa isolates from the AHEPA Hospital resistant to antipseudomonal compounds during each of the three study years are listed in Table 1. Most carbapenem-resistant isolates (81.2%) were resistant to imipenem and meropenem in the disk tests routinely used, but some were resistant only to imipenem (14.6%), and a few were resistant to meropenem alone (4.2%). Since up-regulation of mexAB oprM would compromise only meropenem and since loss of OprD generally gives resistance only to imipenem, it seemed possible that most carbapenem resistance at the hospital during this period was associated with production of a carbapenemase(s). Seven imipenem-resistant isolates were selected randomly for further study; three were isolated during 1996, three were isolated during 1997, and one was isolated during 1998. They were recovered from separate patients in five different hospital departments (Table 2). Six of these isolates exhibited high-level resistance to both carbapenems (MICs ≥ 128 μg/ml), whereas one was highly resistant to imipenem but susceptible to meropenem (MIC, 0.5 μg/ml). Crude cell extracts prepared from the six isolates highly resistant to both carbapenems hydrolyzed imipenem rapidly; those of the imipenem-resistant, meropenem-sensitive isolate did not hydrolyze imipenem. bla IMP was not detected in any of the seven isolates, whereasbla VIM was detected in the six isolates resistant to both carbapenems but not in the meropenem-susceptible isolate. Also, PCR testing of two more imipenem-resistant but meropenem-susceptible isolates, as well as of two imipenem-susceptible but meropenem-resistant isolates, failed to amplifybla IMP and bla VIM genes (data not shown). In the six bla VIM-positive isolates, amplification of integron-associated gene cassettes using primers 5′-CS and 3′-CS (8), corresponding to conserved segments surrounding the variable cassette region, gave products of ca. 800 bp which, when Southern blotted, were found to hybridize with abla VIM-specific probe. All six isolates belonged to serotype O:12 and were indistinguishable by PFGE, indicating that they represented a single strain (not shown). Thebla VIM-negative isolate was nontypeable by serotyping and had a distinct PFGE pattern, indicating that it represented a distinct strain. Conjugation experiments failed to demonstrate transfer of carbapenem resistance from any of the isolates.
Resistance rates to carbapenems and other antipseudomonal drugs among P. aeruginosa isolates recovered in AHEPA University Hospital
Characteristics of seven P. aeruginosaisolates tested for carbapenemase production
P. aeruginosa isolates exhibiting high-level resistance to carbapenems as well as to other antipseudomonal drugs have been frequently isolated in our region (17). The association of the metallo-β-lactamase genes, bla IMP andbla VIM, with integrons has been previously recognized (1, 6), and our data have confirmed this association for bla VIM in the Greek O:12 strain of P. aeruginosa. However, the dissemination ofbla VIM in the AHEPA Hospital might be due to spread of an O:12 strain rather than spread of the resistance gene. Its success may reflect heavy use of carbapenems in Greece and/or the inherent properties of this strain as a pathogen or colonizer. Isolates of serotype O:12 seem to dominate among multiresistant P. aeruginosa strains in Greece (18). A previous serotype O:12 strain has become widespread, if still infrequent, across much of Europe (14). This strain had the carbenicillin-hydrolyzing PSE-1 β-lactamase (14) and, apparently, not the VIM-1. The present bla VIM-carrying Greek strain did not have bla PSE-1 by PCR and had a distinct DNA macrorestriction banding pattern from the European epidemic strain when investigated by PFGE (not shown).
bla VIM-positive isolates were recovered in Greece during 1996, while VIM-1-producing pseudomonads were detected the next year in Italy (6; G. Corneglia, Abstr. Intersci. Conf. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., abstr. 1482, 1999). The appearance of bla VIM in P. aeruginosaisolated in nearby European countries may reflect strain or gene dissemination through people traveling between these countries. Further spread of carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa strains would represent a significant threat for the future of β-lactams.
We are grateful to Hazel Aucken (Laboratory of Hospital Infection, Central Public Health Laboratory) for serotyping the isolates.

should _not_ be turned on in a default installation.
Before this ini parameter was introduced the default behavior of the extension was to convvert the dates. If we changed this we would break a lot of code.
Now, the only reasonable outcome of this code would be to print the same date twice, regardless of which format it was initially... right?
Switch the SELECT CAST() for an INSERT statement and you'll realize why this is dangerous. It works for ten months of the year, and breaks in May (maj) and October (oktober). Different host languages will cause the code to work or fail in different months.
Yes, I realize that changing this behaviour would also affect a lot of existing code. But this would mostly be a cosmetical change, unless the existing code is completely dependent on parsing the date as a string. But as I can tell you first-hand, trying to explain to a customer why their code suddenly stopped working by the turn of May without us changing anything is _not_ my idea of fun.
I would say this is a server configuration problem. specific to your local settings. Wow did you create the alias (Client Network Utility) and what is the value of the different options you can configure ?
We've noticed that under some circumstances the php_mssql extensions seems to switch the mssql.datetimeconvert flag setting between On and Off. Most of the time we get the date in the Off format (cause we've set the flag to Off in the ini file), i.e. YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, but sometimes it switch to On wich will give us the format "14 maj 2003 9:03" and the db inseret query failes.
Is there any patches for php_mssql module?
Anyone seen this problem before? Solution?
Platform is Win2k Server, MSSQL 2000, PHP 4.3.1.
and on the other it was uncommented and set to Off.
With MSSQL being removed from PHP as of PHP7.0, and ext/mssql not having a maintainer, I'm gonna close this report as a Won't fix, until maybe one day it will find a new maintainer.
Alternatively you can use sqlsrv from Microsoft if you are on Windows, or pdo_dblib if you are on Unix.

Alex Edelman: Just for Us
Just For Us takes the audience through hilarious anecdotes from Alex Edelman's life — his Olympian brother AJ, an unconventional holiday season, and a gorilla that can do sign language — but at its centre is an astonishing and frighteningly relevant story. After a string of anti-Semitic abuse is directed at Edelman online, he decides to covertly attend a gathering of White Nationalists in New York City and comes face to face with the people behind the keyboards. The result is a hair-raising encounter that gives Just For Us its title and final, jaw-dropping twist. The production reunites Edelman with director Adam Brace – who have collaborated since 2014.

Talking with Scotland's Speaker
By Andrew Stokes, Communications Officer
The Rt. Hon. Tricia Marwick, Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, came to Queen's over the weekend. She took part in a series of events that included a conversation on Friday about the importance of women's involvement in politics. As part of the Principal's Forum, she delivered the Principal's Distinguished Visitor Lecture on Saturday on Scotland's constitutional journey. Ms. Marwick spoke with Communications Officer Andrew Stokes about her time in politics and what lies ahead for Scotland.
Andrew Stokes: What are your responsibilities as Presiding Officer?
The Rt. Hon. Tricia Marwick, Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, visited Queen's as the Principal's Distinguished Visitor.
Tricia Marwick: The role of the PO is much like the Speaker of the House in the Canadian Parliament. It's a multi-faceted job that has three major components: the first is the work I do in the chamber, addressing the body and keeping order, dealing with the political parties and handling problems when they arise. The second is acting as chair of the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body, which is responsible for the building's facilities, oversees budgets and makes sure we have researchers, reporting staff and clerking staff. The third is that I chair the Scottish Parliament Bureau, a political bureau where all the business managers of the Parliament come together and set the business for the week.
AS: Have you instituted any changes during your time in the position?
TM: I was elected to Parliament in 1999, the year it started, and became PO in 2011. Since I had the chance to sit on many of the committees and bodies which the PO oversees, I had a clear idea that many processes and procedures needed to be reformed. I'm a bit like a poacher-turned-gamekeeper because my experiences helped me know just what needed changing. Parliament now meets three times a week instead of two, I introduced a topical question period, and we've given the backbenchers greater priority in question period. There are many changes to committee processes now too.
AS: How do we improve the number of women in politics?
TM: That's something we all struggle with, the Scottish Parliament included. Our first parliament was 37.2 per cent women but has now fallen to around 34 per cent. We've made progress though, as the PO, first minister, the leader of the Conservatives and the deputy leader of the Labour Party are female. At the moment we have a huge opportunity to use our platform to inspire more young women to get into politics. I'm planning a conference for March that will have all those prominent women I mentioned as well as women who started their own businesses that aims to inspire young women. It's not just about inspiring them to join politics, but to inspire them, period.
The full interview with Presiding Officer Marwick will run in the Jan. 27 edition of the Gazette.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
