There's a new web application on the block that has everyone talking and it goes by the name of Twitter (twitter.com). Twitter is fast becoming one of the more popular methods for communicating online and has a large number of loyal followers who stick with it despite the growing pains and competitors. While this article won't cover everything possible with Twitter, it will give you a good starting point on how to start using it and how you can use it for your business.
What Is This Twitter You Speak Of?
So what is Twitter and how can it be of benefit to you or your business? Twitter is a free online micro-blogging application which gives you the ability to send out short messages (up to 140 characters) called "tweets" to people who are following you on Twitter. You can send tweets either through your computer or by using your cell phone via a text message. These tweets⁄messages can be about anything you want and they can include links, as well.
Making Twitter even more useful is the ability to send a direct message to someone you are following (this is done by entering &username at the beginning of your message) or replying to someone's tweet with your own. You would be surprised how common it is to reply to someone's message then to have someone who is either following you or the person you sent the reply to reply to your initial message and so on.
People can follow you and your tweets by first signing-up for their own free Twitter account at the Twitter site then adding you to their list of people they are following. Once you have created your account, you can either check your Twitter page (your own personal page which appears after you sign-in at the Twitter home page) for any of your friend's new messages or you can send out your own. But it is much easier, in my opinion, to use one of the many online or desktop applications which give you the ability to do all of this and more.
Twitter is a quick and easy way to communicate with family, friends, business associates, and also within a company setting. Being an online service, Twitter is available to anyone with online access. All you have to do is login to your account through any number of third-party applications developed for Twitter or through the Twitter site and you are ready to go.
Within a company setting, employees could have a Twitter account created for them with the option to have their messages protected. This means only people they (or you or the person in charge of creating the Twitter accounts) approve will be able to send and receive messages from them. The same thing could be done using an instant message program but with Twitter, there would be no software to install and it would be accessible from anywhere with an online connection. Additionally, the person who is in charge of the Twitter accounts will have the power to control who is and who isn't part of this private Twitter network.
Even though there are tons of online communication applications available, Twitter can also be used as a way for people who are collaborating on a project to stay in touch with one another regardless of where they are. And depending on which third-party application they are using to Twitter with, these conversations can be saved for future reference. There are even some third-party apps which you can use to send files up to 10MB to anyone you are following as long as they are using the same application, that is. Still, a handy feature to have and one which may become a feature of Twitter if there's a big enough demand for it.

The race to digitise the cement industry
The big announcement from LafargeHolcim this week was the launch of its Industry 4.0 plan known as 'Plants of Tomorrow.' The scheme hopes to use automation technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance and digital twin technologies across the company's entire production process. Operational efficiency gains of 15 - 20% are promised.
There wasn't much detail beyond the use of the Siggenthal integrated cement plant in Switzerland as the 'lighthouse' of the scheme, where around 30 proof-of-concept technology ideas will be tested. One technology it did flesh out a little was its long-running Technical Information System (TIS). This follows the work between Holcim and the power and automation product supplier ABB. LafargeHolcim says that over 80% of its plants around the world use the TIS to provide data transparency at plant, country, regional and global level. It added that some country operations have more than a decade of historic technical data available. This last point is pertinent as the data could potentially be used to support the training of any machine learning algorithms the company might want to invest in. The building materials company also mentioned its LH Maqer subsidiary. This startup incubator was launched at the end of 2018.
LafargeHolcim appears to be playing catch up here with Cemex, which has steadily been promoting its own Industry 4.0 developments in recent years. Emphasis on 'promotion' here as only yesterday, the day LafargeHolcim made its big reveal, Cemex happened to release information about a recent roundtable in France that it participated in on digitisation and productivity in the construction sector.
Notably in March 2019, the Mexican multinational struck a deal with Petuum to implement its Industrial AI Autopilot software products for autonomous cement plant operations at its plants around the world in March 2019. Readers can find out more about Petuum's work with Cemex in the June 2019 issue of Global Cement Magazine. In late 2017 Cemex too set up a division, Cemex Ventures, to engage with startups, universities and other organisations. Cemex has also been building its digital customer integration platform Cemex Go since around the same time.
One interpretation of Industry 4.0 is as a German-industrial approach to the so-called fourth or digital revolution pushed by Anglophone software companies. The idea of taking as much data from a production process, such as making cement, is enticing but the prospect of actually doing something useful with this tsunami of information is daunting. Typically algorithm techniques or predictive maintenance seem so far to focus on discrete parts of a process such as a finish grinding mill or final product logistics networks. Companies like Germany's Inform focus on the latter for example and, incidentally, it celebrated its 50th anniversary this week.
If automated systems start making apparently nonsensical yet useful decisions across the whole raw materials, production and supply chains, then Industry 4.0 will reach its full potential. This moment, if it comes, will be analogous to the time IBM's computer Deep Blue managed to beat chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in the late 1990s. What's more likely are automated systems that can perform consistently outside the human operator comfort zone edging up against hard physical process constraints.
Meanwhile, what will be interesting to watch here is whether LafargeHolcim will be able to leverage any advantage over Cemex by having more cement plants to pull data from. Before LafargeHolcim started selling off its south-east Asian subsidiaries it had more than three times as many cement plants as Cemex. If data really is more valuable than oil these days then starting late in the industrial digital arms race may not be as deleterious as one might first think.
Tamer Saka appointed as president of Turkish Cement Manufacturers' Association
Turkey: The Turkish Cement Manufacturers' Association (TÇMB) has appointed Tamer Saka as its president. He has been the president of Sabancı Holding Cement Group since early 2018.
Saka holds a doctorate from the School of Business at Istanbul University. He worked as the Manager and Senior Manager of Arthur Andersen and Ernst & Young companies, respectively, and he was in charge of Risk Management Consulting Services and then he joined Sabancı Holding family in 2004 as the Risk Management Director. He served as the Executive Director responsible for business development operations of nearly 20 countries, including Turkey, at Willis London in 2010 and 2011. In August 2011, he was appointed as the Strategy and Business Development Coordinator of Kibar Holding and then he was appointed as the Head of Automotive and Corporate Functions Group in May 2012 and as the Kibar Holding Board Member. Tamer Saka became the CEO of Kibar Holding in 2014.
Basant Kumar Birla dies in Mumbai
India: Basant Kumar Birla, chairman of BK Birla Group, has died at the age of 98 in Mumbai. He is survived by his grandson Kumar Mangalam Birla, the head of Aditya Birla Group, the owner of UltraTech Cement, amongst many other family members, according to the Times of India.
Part of the influential Birla family of industrialists, Basant Kumar Birla originally started working at Kesoram Industries before turning the business into a conglomerate with concerns in cement, engineering, medium-density fibreboards, pulp and paper, rayon, shipping, tyres, tea, chemicals and other sectors. BK Birla Group reported a turnover of US$2.4bn in the 2018 – 2019 financial year. At present the group now comprises five major companies - Kesoram Industries, Century Textiles & Industries, Century Enka, Mangalam Cement and ECE Industries - and several smaller subsidiaries.

National Company Law Tribunal approves Dalmia Bharat's offer for Mulri Industries with conditions
India: The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Mumbai has approved Dalmia Bharat's offer for debt-laden Murli Industries, subject to conditions intended to stop the company going into liquidation. The tribunal has given Dalmia Bharat until 12 July 2019 to decide if it wants to proceed, according to the Economic Times newspaper. The conditions include forcing the buyer to reinstate lapsed mining leases related to Murli Industries itself and removing clauses allowing Dalmia Bharat to modify or withdraw its plans at any stage. Dalmia Bharat bid around US$60m to buy Murli Industries' 3Mt/yr cement plant in Maharashtra in late 2017.
Big Boss Cement terminates plans to build grinding plant at Bamban
Philippines: Big Boss Cement has reportedly stopped plans to build a new grinding plant at Bamban in Tarlac province following a series of protests by local residents. Local mayor Jose Feliciano said the cement producer had withdrawn its US$117m investment, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper. The project was going to be built an agricultural land around 0.5km from a school with 4000 students. However, Feliciano noted that the loss of the factory would reduce local municipal funds.
Jidong Cement receives US$30m in government subsidies in first half of 2019
China: Jidong Cement and its subsidies have received US$30m in subsidies from the Chinese government in the first half of 2019. It said that the subsidies were related to its daily activities, according to Reuters. The cement producer said that its estimated profit nearly doubled to US$134m in the reporting period following restructuring the company. Its cement and clinker sales volumes by 15% year-on-year to 45.76Mt.

LafargeHolcim launches Lafarge 360 building impact tool in France
France: Lafarge France has launched its Lafarge 360 initiative. The scheme aims to aid specifiers, contractors and builders make low-carbon structures through reducing CO2 emissions, preserving natural resources and responsible innovation. It will start the initiative by proving a Lafarge 360 score on its associated digital platform to allow customers to assess the environmental impact of Lafarge's products. By providing a rating of A to D the tool will offer information on the concrete types.
LafargeHolcim launches four-year industrial automation plan
Switzerland: LafargeHolcim has launched a four-year industrial automation plan called 'Plants of Tomorrow.' It includes Industry 4.0 concepts such as automation technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance and digital twin technologies for its entire production process. The plan is expected to show 15 – 20% operational efficiency gains. It also claims that the initiative is, "one of the largest roll-outs of Industry 4.0 technologies in the building materials industry."
"Transforming the way we produce cement is one of the focus areas of our digitalisation strategy and the 'Plants of Tomorrow' initiative will turn Industry 4.0 into reality at our plants. These innovative solutions make cement production safer, more efficient and environmentally fit," said Solomon Baumgartner Aviles, Global Head Cement Manufacturing.
The building materials company is presently working on more than 30 pilot projects covering all regions where the company is active. The company's integrated cement plant at Siggenthal in Switzerland will be a trial site where the integration of all relevant modules will be tested.
One examples of where LafargeHolcim has started the plan include a partnership with Swiss start-up Flyability to use drones to increase the frequency of inspections at plants while simultaneously reducing cost and increasing safety for employees by inspecting confined spaces. The concept is being rolled out to several markets, including Switzerland, France, Germany, the UK, the US, Canada, India and Russia. It is also using a subsidiary, Maqer, to identify technology startups with promising technology. It aims to harness the potential of this through new partnership models with both manufacturing and software companies.
LafargeHolcim has already launched technology to track performance centrally and allocated resources to support the plant network in real time. More than 80% of LafargeHolcim's cement plants are already connected to its Technical Information System that provides data transparency at plant, country, regional and global level. Some country operations have more than a decade of historic technical data available. Other systems allow the remote control of certain parts of the operations through online condition monitoring systems. Since its implementation in 2006, this system has saved over Euro70m and an additional 3Mt of cement sold through fewer breakdowns.

Q: How do I know which promise will resolve first? I have a snippet that I'm playing around with where I've purposely placed Promise.resolve(c) before Promise.resolve(a) but I am noticing that the true value from bottom Promise.all(...) is being logged first.
const https = require('https');

function getData(substr) {
    let url = ``;
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        try {
            https.get(url, res => {
                let s = '';
                res.on('data', (d) => {
                    s += d
                });

                res.on('end', () => {
                    let data = JSON.parse(s);
                    resolve(data);
                })
            })
        } catch (e) {
            reject(e);
        }
    })
}

let a = getData('spiderman');

let b;

let c = getData('superman');

Promise.resolve(c)
    .then(value => console.log(value));

Promise.resolve(a)
    .then(value => b = value);

Promise.all([a]).then(values => console.log(values[0] === b));

Is there any explanation as to why this is the case? I would think that since Promise.resolve(c) comes first, that the Promise c would resolve first and be logged. Or is there no way to actually rely on the order of the logs aside from using callbacks? What are the best practices to avoid such issues?

A: These are asynchronous calls that on complete resolve using the supplied function passed into then.
There is no way to force one of these to finish before and if you need that you should be running these synchronous.
When you call .then() this only gets called when the function finished not when the .resolve gets called.

A: Promise resolution order is not guaranteed.  That's kinda the point of asynchronous code.
If you rely on order of execution, you should be using synchronous code.

A: Use Promise.all() with both requests if you want them both completed before you do your next step.
let a = getData('spiderman');

let c = getData('superman');

Promise.all([a, c]).then(([spidyResults, superResults]) => {
    // both have sompleted
    // do stuff with each set of results

}).catch(err => console.log('Ooops, one of them failed') );

A: Well, as said before, the order of the promise completion is not guaranteed, because it's an async operation.
If you really need the execution to follow a certain order you need to put the the next thing to be executed inside then or use async and await which is much cleaner.

Prince William Is Mourning A Heartbreaking Loss
Richard Stonehouse/Getty Images
By Haley Van Horn AND Heather Baver/Updated: Dec. 12, 2022 12:26 pm EST
It's an understatement to say that the Prince and Princess of Wales have had a busy last few months. William and Catherine recently made their first trip back to the United States in over eight years, visiting Boston to host The Earthshot Prize Awards, which he founded. Americans greeted the royal couple with admiration, and it appeared that the Waleses were excited to be back in the country.
However, while the couple's trip to the US was a highlight, the pair has faced some struggles recently, too. When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, released their new documentary series, "Harry & Meghan" on Netflix, experts believed it took direct shots at William and Kate.
At the same time, William is processing an unexpected tragedy. The royal recently shared that he lost a close friend the same day the docuseries debuted.
Prince William is mourning a friend and fellow activist, Mark Jenkins
A post shared by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (@sheldricktrust)
As William, Prince of Wales, navigates the drama following the Netflix documentary series starring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke of Duchess of Sussex, he's also dealing with the loss of a close friend. Mark Jenkins and his son Peter died in a plane crash in Kenya on Dec. 8, 2022, reports People. William shared a sentimental message on Twitter, which is a rare occurrence.
"Yesterday, I lost a friend, who dedicated his life to protecting wildlife in some of East Africa's most renowned national parks. Mark Jenkins, and his son Peter, were tragically killed when flying over Tsavo National Park while conducting an aerial patrol," William shared. "Tonight, I'm thinking about Mark's wife, family and colleagues who've sadly lost a man we all loved and admired. W"
The cause of the plane crash is unknown, reports the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the charitable organization that protects the Kenyan park. The organization expressed its condolences, writing, "Mark Jenkins was a once-in-a-generation conservationist. He devoted his entire life to protecting East Africa's wild spaces — and he showed that same dedication as a father, husband, friend, and leader."
According to The Telegraph, William and Jenkins bonded over their passion for protecting the environment while the prince was in Africa in 2001. Then, in 2014, William teamed up with United for Wildlife to protect animals in Tsavo National Park from poachers.
William's and Jenkins' environmental passions were influenced by their fathers

Mark Jenkins spent his childhood in Kenya's Meru National Park, where his father worked for the Kenya Wildlife Service, according to the Frankfurt Zoological Society.
"Conservation was in Mark's blood," the organization observed. "Those of us who worked alongside him remember him for his determination, thoughtfulness, his energy, his mischievous smile, and his deep love of wildlife and wild places." In turn, Jenkins influenced his son Peter, who went on to earn a conservation degree, per Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
Like the Jenkins family, Prince William's environmentalism was influenced by his father. King Charles III made his first environmental awareness speech in 1970, per the Royal Family's YouTube channel. A proponent of organic farming for over 30 years, the king has influenced the royal family by extending organic practices to its Sandringham Estate.
In addition, National Geographic notes that, in 2009, Charles championed preserving rainforests in Guyana. "I would go so far as to say that [Charles] possibly is the most significant environmental figure in history, considering the breadth and depth that he's gone into over so long," Tony Juniper, chair of Natural England, told BBC Radio 4's "Today," via Independent.
Writing for Newsweek in January 2022, Charles expressed his enthusiasm that William was pursuing environmental causes, especially with "the prestigious Earthshot Prize to incentivise (sic) change and help repair our planet over the next ten years by identifying and investing in the technologies that can make a difference."
As mentioned, William hosted the 2022 Earthshot Prize Awards on Dec. 2, less than a week before the Jenkins' fatal plane crash.

Recording of August 2017: Rachmaninoff Piano Works
Robert Levine | Jul 13, 2017
Rachmaninoff: Piano Sonata 2, Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Six Moments Musicaux
Evelina Vorontsova, piano
STH Quality Classics CD1416092 (CD). 2017. Paul Steverink, Boudwijn Zwart, prods.; Jaco van Houselt, eng. DDD. TT: 74:42
Performance ****½
Sonics *****
This is Russian-Dutch pianist Evelina Vorontsova's second recording; the first was in 2002. Born in 1972, she took fourth prize in the Rachmaninoff Competition at 18, and second prize at the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition two years later; in 2006, she won second prize in the International Piano and Orchestra Competition in Cantù, Italy (at which there was no first prize awarded). Judging from this CD and its very challenging program, she is a remarkable talent; one wonders why she is not more famous and signed to a major label.
A good section of the notes accompanying this release focus on Vorontsova's position in the Romantic tradition of the Moscow Conservatory, tracing her teachers far back and reading like those parts of Genesis 5 and 11 that offer the timeline from Adam to Abraham. Mikhail Voskresensky was Vorontsova's teacher; he was taught by Lev Oborin, who was taught by Konstantin Igumnov, a major player in Rachmaninoff's life. The notes will give you far more information than I needed. Vorontsova's playing is athletic and Romantic, her use of rubato (clearly a feature of all the other guys) pronounced. Nuf sed—but I would like to point out that, despite never rushing, she also never drags, or artificially underlines anything in the music. She is unaffected and profoundly musical.
The second piano sonata dates from 1913, but Rachmaninoff, finding some if its complications "superfluous," revised it in 1931; Vorontsova plays the revision. It's still not the proverbial walk in the park—its technical requirements are plentiful, and its mood changes extreme. After the impressively played fortissimi of the opening few minutes, in which Rachmaninoff seems to ask for too many notes to be played in too short a time, Vorontsova meets the lovely cascades of sweet, luscious melody (at about 6:00) with grace and a gentle touch, playing with lyricism all the way into the maniacal Allegro molto, which is played with care and clarity at a tempo at which one can actually hear the music.
The Corelli Variations, also from 1931, are yet another bête noire that must be conquered by serious Russian pianists. The theme is "La Folia"—not, in fact, by Corelli, but an anonymous tune that began to appear at the end of the 15th century, almost simultaneously in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Corelli famously used it for the 23 variations in his sonata for violin and harpsichord, but C.P.E. Bach, Alessandro Scarlatti, and Francesco Geminiani (among others) also fell for its lovely, catchy simplicity. There are 20 variations here, and even Rachmaninoff tended to eliminate a few in performance—he claimed he could tell by the audience's coughing whether or not they were too much.
Vorontsova begins with an amazingly slow, clear, delicate Theme in the translucent upper octaves of her Steinway; Variation I, in the lower half, is dark, dark, dark—and then, of course, the Variations' complexities take hold. Vorontsova's command of rubato is spectacular in Var. IV; the charm of V and VI are rudely interrupted by the ferocity of VII. The odd syncopation of VII, marked misterioso, is mysterious indeed. The jolly X should be merrier; it's a bit heavy here, and XI and XII should be the dark contrast to it. Var. XIV recalls the opening theme in its tempo—it's as close to a jazz improvisation as Rachmaninoff gets. The Vivace of XVI is wonderfully weird, and XVII's moodiness rings true. Vorontsova's skill and awareness of both the forest and the trees are remarkable throughout, and the sensitive coda dies with grace.
The early Six Moments Musicaux are studies of forms distinguished by styles typical of their eras: a nocturne, a barcarolle, etc. Moods range from "easy listening" to the gloomy Rachmaninoff we know and tolerate. The Allegretto is played ravishingly and with heart, and so is the Adagio sostenuto (the Barcarolle). The gigantic Maestoso is a five-course meal unto itself.
The recording was made in a former monastery, with Brüel & Kjær 4040 omni hybrid and DPA 4015A microphones. It allows us to spotlessly hear Vorontsova's very original playing, which never lacks intellectual or emotional depth. A beautiful if challenging CD.—Robert Levine
Rachmaninoff CD
Submitted by artandlife (not verified) on July 16, 2017 - 12:00pm
Mr. Levine asks why Ms. Vorontsova "is not more famous and signed to a major label".
I cannot say anything regarding the lack of her renown in general, but concerning recordings and the mentioned "major labels", my comment is the following:
One often wonders that there are still so many musicians with such a small amount of phantasy, ideas and readiness for musical innovation! They record and publish (I'm tempted to say: ad nauseam...) the same old warhorse-repertoire over and over again, a repertoire that is already present in hundreds of previous recordings. They unfortunately seem not to realize how boring and useless that sort of repetition is.
The recording presented here, reviewed by Mr. Levine, may be nice and well done, but with the mentioned unimaginativeness in the repertoire choice, on the one hand one does marvel concerning the artist's lack of interesting conceptions, but on the other hand does NOT marvel that there is no major label being interested in such a recording project.
You may record all that well-trodden stuff for the 50th or 100th time if you are a rather renowned artist. You shouldn't do it nevertheless, because it's still boring and an evidence of your lack of imagination; but resulting from your renown, you can afford to do it if you like; which means you'll find enough people indefatigably buying the 50th or 100th recording of this music, and therefore you'll also find a major label speculating for the commercial success of your renown. In other words: You may record whatever you want, your illustrious name will keep selling the CDs.
This status is enviable, and the less renowned artists may think it is unjust, too. Yes, of course it is, but that's the essence of commerce and showbusiness -- your renown is decisive.
If --on the contrary-- you are an unknown artist, you should rather stay away from the warhorse-repertoire (not in concerts of course, but in your recordings). The standard major label may not be interested in your fanciful CD recording with lots of world premieres, either; because they'll think that, regardless of your interesting CD programme, your lack of renown will anyway prevent the sales rates they require.
But among the common reviewers, you'll have a better chance to get some attention. Mr. Levine seems to be an exception in this regard, but the usual reviewer will certainly think something like: "Oh no, not this again! Why the hell do those musicians think their interpretation is so unprecedented and revolutionary that the world needs the 50th/100th recorded version of that well-known sonata XY etc. etc.?? We have enough to do to review the "big names" with their relentless recordings of that old standard repertoire (and that's boring enough). Please not the unknown artists, too..."
One can understand those reviewers, can't one?
Indeed, it's surprising when non-renowned musicians seem to hope to be able to arouse any interest for their recording if the same music is available in more than enough recordings by the illustrious and much more attractive "big names".
This may be the answer to Mr. Levine's question concerning the major labels.
And anyway it's a pity that there is so much dull repertoire repetition in the recording market...
I am somewhat of a classical
Submitted by dalethorn on July 17, 2017 - 5:56am
I am somewhat of a classical neophyte. I have a few dozen CDs of the "warhorse" material already, but not several versions of each. When I read a review like this and buy the CD (or the download), it's like discovering a new world of music, with the bonus being the exceptionally good sound. To me, these reviews are a great source for music, because I don't want to spend lots of hours looking over vast catalogs of recordings, trying to imagine what to buy. Neither do I feel the need to attend schools and classes "learning" how to appreciate what I already appreciate, but with greater discernment so that I can look down on the "warhorse" material like the more savvy listeners do.
Corelli Variations
Submitted by kevin evans on July 20, 2017 - 11:15am
I am a great admirer of Rachmaninoff's piano music. This Vorontsova disc got my attention by John Atkinson, he used it in his test of the Meridian Ultra DAC. My Dynaudio Craft loudspeakers and Chord electronics are at times too critical, they are able to reproduce music in its best way, but for example my favourite Lazar Berman disc does has its limitations in sound quality. I downloaded this Vorontsova disc from Qobuz and from the first notes I was blown away. To me the music is important, I am not impressed by names or other. Rachmaninoff is very often used to show off, but this disc is about music and not to show off. For example I listened to Van Cliburn's prize winner 2017 Yekwon Sunwoo Rachmaninoff's 2nd Sonata. His performance could not convince me, with Vorontsova it is different, so many things feel so logic now. John Atkinson uses the word 'majestic' I believe, and he is right.
About the Corelli Variations. I do have several recordings of this work but it is never been my favourite Rachmaninoff, the Lazar Berman is the one I can listen from the begin to the end. Others like Ashkenazy does not make this possible for me. This Vorontsova has the same qualities as the Berman, but this Vorontsova disc does offer far better sound quality. The last Variation for example after say 30 sec, you can feel the notes, resulting in goosebumps all over. That is also what I like about this CD, Ashkenazy is a great musician, but his playing never gives me goosebumps, this Vorontsova disc does, not once, but several times. Also, I never could really understand the Corelli Variations, but now it seems I understand them more and more, I am rediscovering this work, a good thing.

GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION REQUESTS – GLASGOW AGAINST CLOSURES
1st January 2022 Leave a Comment
WHAT IS A COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION REQUEST?
Submitting a participation request provides a legal route to engagement. Participation Requests can be made by a 'community participation body'. This may be a:
Community group (with or without a constitution)
Participation Requests are intended to create the opportunity for people and groups to play a greater and more direct role in improving outcomes in their community. Part 3 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 provides a framework for the use of participation requests by community bodies.
A Participation Request is NOT an "Expression of Interest (EOI) under the People Make Glasgow Communities programme which does NOT fall under the Community Empowerment Act until a full application is submitted. A Participation Request is NOT part of the Asset transfer process.
WHAT IS THIS GUIDE FOR?
The information below is general advice received via training and other sources on the types of information you may want to include in a participation request.
Note this document does not list every type of example so feel free to add things to support your application.
You may feel that there is some crossover between points covered in other questions.
MINUTE ALL MEETINGS, agree follow up expectations and timescales.
As meeting's progress be clear and focussed regarding your aims as stated in your participation request.
Keep reiterating your aims to make sure they don't get redirected. For example, if you're campaigning for a space to be run by the local authority, don't let them sway it towards a community run facility.
Glasgow City Council participation request page
This page contains information from the Council as to who can make a request, who has made a request, and other guidance.
PR Guidance from the Scottish Government
You should read this before making a request and when completing this form.
Participation request form
Always use this link to the latest Council participation request form
Key questions to think through prior to submitting a participation request are:
What do you want to participate in?
What will this look like?
The participation form will ask you to provide information about the body making the application, and the nature of the participation. We will now go through the application in more detail.
1: Details of Community Participation Body
The application will ask for the Name of the Community Body making the request and the name, address, telephone number and email address of a contact for the community body. It will also ask for details of your website, if available. Please make sure that you also include a copy of your written constitution or governance documentation if available.
2: Name of the public service authority to which the request is being made:
You need to specify the primary public service authority to whom the request is being made. For Glasgow based campaigns, this will most likely be Glasgow City Council. If you're unsure, the authorities to whom a request can be made are listed in Schedule 2 in the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. These are:
A local authority
A health Board
The Board of management of a college of further education
Highlands and Islands Enterprise
A National Park Authority
The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency
Scottish Enterprise
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service
Scottish Natural Heritage
A regional Transport Partnership
3: Name of any other public service authority which the community participation body requests should participate in the outcome improvement process.
If there is another authority from the list above that you think your request would benefit from their participation, name them here.
4: The outcome that community participation body want to improve:
Here you need to specify an outcome that will result from, or is directly contributed to, by the provision of a service provided to the public on behalf of the authority named above. An explanation of outcomes and examples can be found in section 3.48 of the Scottish Government guidance document.
The development of a local community hub which includes XXXXX services plus co-located services within the current building run with the building owned and operated by the local authority. This will maximise the building use and provide services which the community has identified through community engagement.
We want the outcome of the participation request to be that the XXXXX local community will be fully involved, following agreed Community Engagement Standards, to make sure all relevant stakeholders are fully engaged with during the process.
We wish to support the Council with the decision making around the venue/services and to help provide local experience, knowledge and contacts with the development of the venue and services provided.
We want to help build a long term relationship with the council and the local community.
5: The reasons why the community participation body should participate in an outcome improvement process:
You need to clearly explain the reasons why you believe your group should be able to take part in the 'outcome improvement process'.
We are a constituted body , a registered SCIO charity with no conflict of interest, we are not a direct service deliverer and will not apply for any space from PMGC. We are the only recognised organisation in the area providing/managing XXXXX etc etc
We have members who are mainly front-line organisations, delivering social and wellbeing services to their communities, who provide us with intelligence.
Our members have good relationships with local people who can provide feedback on the PMGC applications.
We have trusted connections with local and city-wide structures and we can bridge the gap between community and Citywide structures.
Many members of our organisation are active members of several local groups including community councils, the Friends of the XXXX group and the XXXX Trust, have an extensive network of contacts and a clear understanding of local issues and concerns, and are well placed to support and encourage a resilient and empowered neighbourhood.
Our staff & supporting organisations (a, b,c ) have :
Extensive experience of involvement in Community Engagement
Has supported the local community with the development of creation of XXXXX etc etc
members of our organisation have extensive experience / number of combined years of experience of i.e. asset transfers and community ownership/management of facility/development of business plans/working with local communities via i.e memberships of community council, voluntary network networks , trustee positions on boards a,b,c
6: Knowledge, expertise and experience the community participation body has in relation to the outcome:
Here you need to provide details of any knowledge, expertise and experience the community body (your group!) has in relation to the outcome specified in question 4.
Our Committee, staff and members have combined number of years of experience within community work/community planning / working with local people / governance of board membership (name these)
List specific staff qualifications
Members have long standing relationships with communities who may have the solutions to support issues and matters arising.
Our Staff are experienced in delivering training on XXXXX as well as having practical, hands-on experience of XXXXX work.
Experience within XXXXX sector
Wide reach: Connections to Glasgow Council via XXXXX, Glasgow Third Sector via XXXXX,
Connections to charitable trusts XXXXX and bodies at local and national level
A vast collective knowledge of XXXXX theory/ policy/management (list experience)
7: How the outcome will be improved because of the involvement of the community participation body:
You need to explain in specific detail how you see the outcome from question 4 being improved by your group participating.
Greater consensus around decisions that are made. Should lead to greater use of the asset/service(s)

8: Is the community participation body a community controlled body?
To make a participation request the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 provides that only certain bodies can do so. Your group (the 'community participation body') needs to provide the necessary information to the public service authority to show that they are a valid body who can make a participation request. The form will ask this as a YES / NO question. If your group is community controlled, select yes. If the answer is no, you will need to use the additional space to explain the basis on which your group is a community participation body.
9: Additional information
Here's where you can include any other information in support of your request. The form advises that it may be helpful for your group to outline if they have already / previously been in contact with the public service authority regarding the outcome. The community participation body may also want to provide information on any additional support they may require to be able to participate in an outcome improvement process.

Ingrid Øra is the PI and main supervisor of the PhD students and postdocs in three ongoing projects.
Helena Mörse, MD, PhD Student - Maria Elfving, MD, postdoc.
Together with Prof Claus Yding Anderson, RMC, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen and Prof Aleksander Giwercman, RMC, SUS Malmö we conduct a prospective study of young girls and adolescents regarding ovarian function during and the first years after cancer treatment. In addition we study ovarian function and potential complication on metabolic, cardiac, bone mineralization of long time female childhood cancer survivors.
The LCCG study was initiated in 2007 from the Pediatric Oncology Unit in collaboration with Prof Håkan Olsson, Oncology, Lund. All newly diagnosed children and adolescents are invited to participate in a study of familiar heredity of cancer and provide together with their patients blood samples for studies of potential genetic aberrations underlying cancer predisposition.
Preliminary results have revealed a genetic signature in neuroblastoma samples that predicts patients refractory to standard treatment. The signature score is to be tested in a prospective study. The cell-of-origin of the childhood tumor neuroblastoma during sympathetic nervous system development is unknown. In a preclinical model and international collaboration we aim to pinpoint these cells through molecular characterization.

A site license covers a site, for example a building, a university campus etc. It can also be used on any number of servers or computers. If your needs are greater than this consider a global license.
The Site License is $1980.00 per site.
A site license is the same as 20 standard purchases, so if you have many servers or many engineers then it is a more economical option.
All MSMQ Inspector licenses are perpetual, you get all future updates included.
How do I organise a site license?


Got mad? or Why are modules autoloaded without hotplug or discover?
30 May 2006 in Planet Linux OpenSource Debian Networking ~ read.
Today my goal was to get an AVM Fritz!Card running to send SMS via yaps.
Since on the old system is running kernel 2.4.x at the time of setup the only option was to use the capi driver and some hacks with hylafax to get all running. I don't wonna look deeper into the old setup, to prevent to get mad. Anyways ... an other setup was a faxserver. This was implemented also with the capi driver and capisuite.
So I was going straight forward and installed the capi driver on the known way.
Following my own install documentation I was really surprised that the hisax driver was already in place and the capi driver of the card was unable to load.
Hmmm .... I didn't got it. All the modules where auto loaded right before mounting the filesystems..
Okay ... since in the isdnlog appearing enties from the bus, there must be a pitfall anywhere and I tried to start a connection with minicom .... successfull.
I remembered than there was a problem with the lock-prefix when I did setup yaps some years ago. So I found a lock /var/lock/LCK..isdnctrl0 existing and did set lock-prefix /var/lock/LCK.. in /etc/yaps.rc.
HAHA!! Mission completed .. :) But the big question is ... why are the modules autoloaded?

Unemployment in Norway decreased by 1,000 people in August, according to seasonally adjusted figures from Nav. Also in Rogaland there is improvement. Unemployment is now 3.1 percent, the same as in August last year.
Unemployment fell most in Aust-Agder and Finnmark in August, when adjusted for normal seasonal variations. Only South Trondelag had a slight increase in unemployment, while the level remaining stable in four counties.
Construction occupations, retail and sales were occupational groups where unemployment fell most in August. Within the engineering and ICT subjects continued unemployment is on the increase.
Unemployment is at 3.1 percent, the same as in August last year, according to figures that are not seasonally adjusted.
– Unemployment continued to lose ground in august. Some of the decline is due to higher project levels, but we also see that there are fewer people who are unemployed now than last autumn. The main picture so far this year is the sum of the unemployed and job seekers on measures now appears to have stabilized, said Labor and Welfare Director Sigrun Vågeng.
Its go ing in the right direction, says Labour and Social Affairs Anikken Hauglie.
– I am delighted about these figures, Hauglie said.
– It is too early for fresh signs the labor market and the economic situation is on the mend. There are still clouds on the horizon, but we see signs that it might have stalled, she said.
Particularly the labor minister draws attention to Rogaland county that has been hardest hit due to the decline in the oil sector. Where unemployment is at 4.5 percent, an increase of 3.6 percent from last August. At the end of August, 11,748 people were out of work in the county, around 200 fewer than one month earlier.
– It's not big numbers, but it is after all down, not up, commented the Minister of Labour.
