Fundraising & Events
40 ways to fundraise
Right at this moment, our doctors, nurses and frontline staff are working hard to provide urgent care and support during this unprecedented time. People like Dr Becky.
Here at Birmingham St Mary's Hospice, Dr Becky is one of #OurHospiceHeroes. Working as a Specialty Doctor on our Inpatient Unit, she's providing critical care to patients and their loved ones during this difficult time – including some who have been diagnosed with Covid-19.
Dr Becky is also celebrating her 40th birthday this year. Whilst the pandemic might have affected her birthday plans, she's still celebrating her big 4-0 by asking for charitable donations to be made to the Hospice instead of receiving gifts. We caught up with Dr Becky to find out more about her role…
Hi Dr Becky, can you tell us about your role at the Hospice?
I'm a Specialty Doctor, working as part of the medical team here at the Hospice. I mostly work on our Inpatient Unit but sometimes, I also support patients who attend our Day Hospice facility or patients who are being cared for at home.
In my role, I help people come to terms with their illness, relieve them of any symptoms they may be experiencing and support them with achieving their goals. Sometimes, it can be heartbreaking but it's also an immensely rewarding role. It's a real privilege to care for people and their loved ones at the end of life, and I feel honoured that I can make a difference during this time.
How has your role changed during this difficult time?
As you would expect, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected our services here at the Hospice. Sadly, we've had to temporarily suspend all visitors on our Inpatient Unit, including family members and loved ones. It's been a difficult decision for us to take but it's critical we do so to protect the safety of all our patients and staff.
What hasn't changed though, is our compassionate approach to care. Although visiting has been suspended, I am regularly phoning partners and relatives to update them on their loved one's condition. Myself and the rest of the team are also facilitating video calls between patients and their family. We know it's not quite the same as seeing someone in person, but being able to see a loved one's face on a screen can make a big difference during this uncertain time.
How is your role making a difference to people right now?
More than ever, people will need our care and support. Some people have become socially isolated through shielding and therefore can't rely on family or friends like they used to. Others will have less community support as services are incredibly stretched at the moment. There will also be people who are more poorly with symptoms of Covid-19 and need extra care whilst fighting the virus. And sadly, there will be people who are dying of Covid-19 and will need expert hospice care as they approach the end of life.
This is where we can make a real difference. Our teams are experienced, have expert knowledge and the vital skills needed to care for people with life-limiting illnesses and those at the end of life. Not only will we manage difficult and painful symptoms, but we're also here to offer practical, spiritual and emotional care too, as well as support families, loved ones and carers.
Why is hospice care so important?
It's incredibly important because we provide advice and hands on care for anyone with a life-limiting illness. More often than not, people will associate hospices with end of life care but that simply isn't true; a large portion of our work is helping people to live well with their illness – even during times like this.
Who's keeping you company when you're at work?
We are a very close team, so we're all supporting each other during this difficult time – whether we're working at the Hospice or at home. It's important to keep morale up, not only for staff but for the people we're caring for.
What's your go-to quarantine boredom buster?
I have three children, so it's no surprise that they're keeping me busy outside of work! I'm still trying to exercise regularly and I really enjoy baking and pottering about in the garden.
I just want to say a huge thank you to the amazing team at Birmingham St Mary's Hospice. I work with some incredible colleagues who have all pulled together during this terrible time to do what matters – care for people when they need it most. I am very proud of their efforts and even more proud to call myself their colleague.
Our frontline staff – including Dr Becky – are #OurHospiceHeroes. They're doing all they can to provide around-the-clock care on our Inpatient Unit, as well offering critical support in people's homes, on the phone, and via digital consultations.
And it's not just our patients who we're supporting. We're also working in partnership with local hospitals, GPs, District Nurses, care homes and more to ensure more people get the care they deserve during this uncertain time.
But heartbreakingly, at a time when people desperately need our services, we're losing out on crucial funds. We've had to postpone fundraising events, community activities and corporate partnerships, as well as temporarily close the doors to all 17 of our charity shops. But our care hasn't stopped.
If you can help more people get the care and support they need, please make a donation or take on a virtual challenge here. Whatever you choose to do, you will be helping someone across Birmingham and Sandwell to receive the support they desperately need during these uncertain times.

I Can Tell press release Anyone who has been alone or lonely - which is everybody at some time or another - can relate to this song. I Can Tell speaks to those difficult, out of control and hard to understand situations. It shows how communication and expression release the tensions that keep us stuck in a helpless loop. This music is mellow, easy and intimate dance with confident emotion. A great singalong to remind us that understanding ourselves and others in tough times gives us confidence to get through better than ever.
I can tell I be fine.
Thanks for supporting Robyn Rees!

IN THIS PAPER I WILL EXPLAIN HOW RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS DESCRIBE AND ENCOURAGE THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE DIVINE, THE NATURAL WORLD, SACRED SPACE AND TIME AND WITH EACH OTHER. INCLUDED IN THE PAPER I WILL PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF VARIOUS RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS.
I WILL DISCUSS THE NEED FOR MAN TO DESCRIBE NATURAL DISASTERS THROUGH DIVINE INVOLVEMENT. MAN STILL USES DIVINE INTERVENTION AS A WAY TO EXPLAIN EVENTS THAT ARE SEEN AS MIRACLES. SOME TYPES OF EVENTS LEND CONFIRMATION TO THE BELIEF OF A DIVINE BEING OR PRESENCE.
TIME HAS NO SACREDNESS OF ITS OWN. SACRED TIME CONNECTS MEMBERS OF THE SAME RELIGION. IT IS A TOOL USED BY HUMANS TO PARTICIPATE AND CELEBRATE ETERNITY.
FOR INSTANCE, SACRED TIME HELPS CHRISTIANS IN THE BELIEF THAT THERE IS A SIMILARITY OF THERE LIVES AND THAT OF CHRIST. IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH ONE OF THE MOST NOTABLE CELEBRATIONS OF SACRED TIME IS THE RE-ENACTMENT OF THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. SACRED TIME AND THE TRADITIONS HELP THE BELIEVER GROW CLOSER TO THEIR GOD. A SACRED PLACE IS WHERE THE BELIEVER GOES TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD. SACRED TIME IS AS IMPORTANT AS SACRED SPACE. THIS IMPORTANCE CREATES THE RELATIONSHIP WITH SACRED SPACE AND THE NATURAL WORLD. SACRED SPACE IS OFTEN CONSIDERED THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, WHERE THE POWER AND HOLINESS OF GOD IS STRONGEST. SACRED SPACE IS ALSO THE PLACE THAT THE BELIEVER GOES TO RENEW HIS OR HER SPIRITUAL STRENGTH. IN SOME NATIVE RELIGIONS, SACRED SPACE MAY BE A LAKE, FOREST OR A TREE. IN SOME NATIVE RELIGIONS THE BELIEVER SEES EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE AS BEING ALIVE. THEY SEE THE FORCE OF LIFE AS BEING PRESENT IN EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY IN BIRDS, ANIMALS, TREES AND HUMAN BEINGS. FOR THE TRADITIONAL BELIEVER OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS SUCH AS MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS, JEWS ETC. A BUILDING (CHURCH, MOSQUE OR SYNAGOGUE) IS THEIR SACRED PLACE.

Yesterday the Convention, without dissent, gave Congress the power to levy taxes and to regulate interstate and foreign commerce.
TURNING its back on the traditions of Europe, the Convention today granted Congress the exclusive power to declare war.
This action constitutes an innovation in government: In all other countries, the power to make or declare war is vested in the executive or crowned head of state. In Great Britain, the King is commander in chief of the armed forces, with exclusive power to raise and regulate fleets, armies, and militia. In times of peace, however, standing armies in Great Britain are prohibited by law. Parliament, through its power of the purse, can dissolve armies by refusing to appropriate money for their support.
In today's session, Charles Pinckney III of South Carolina insisted that the Senate should have exclusive power to make or declare war. The House of Representatives would have too many members, he added, while the Senate would be ``more acquainted with foreign affairs, and most capable of proper resolutions.'' Maj. Pierce Butler of South Carolina proposed vesting war power in the President. ``[He] will have all the requisite qualities, and will not make war but when the Nation will support it,'' the former British military officer added.
Mr. Gerry of Massachusetts expressed the belief that much more blood would have been spilled in his State during the recent rebellion by debt-ridden farmers had the general government intervened with armed force. ``The States will be the best Judges in such cases,'' he added.
A four-to-four tie vote, with two States absent, led the Convention to drop entirely the power to subdue rebellion in the separate States. Nevertheless, the delegates are expected to return to the issue later.
Tomorrow the Convention is expected to appoint a Committee of Eleven for consideration of the explosive issue of national control of the State militia. The Convention is also expected tomorrow to agree to place in the hands of the new national government the military sword. Majority approval is expected for the congressional power to raise and support armies. But the Convention may borrow from the British Parliament its use of the power of the purse to check that sword by limiting military appropriations to two-year periods.


Pat Shingleton: "Edwin Got Zapped..."
In February, 1971, Edwin Robinson of Falmouth, Maine, jackknifed his truck on an icy overpass. He suffered severe damage to the occipital area of his brain and gradually lost his eyesight. With his hearing also impaired, for the next nine years, he learned Braille. While in his yard on June 4, 1980, he attempted to "cluck" his pet chicken inside when a lightning bolt knocked him to the ground. Unconscious for 20 minutes he struggled inside and upon awakening from a nap went to his kitchen and read an inscription on a plaque and identified the time on a clock. Two days later his sight was restored and after additional examinations, he was cured. In addition to his returning eyesight, his hearing was restored. The chicken didn't make it.

CHES (N-cyclohexyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a buffering agent.  CHES buffers have a useful range of pH 8.6–10.

It typically appears as a white crystalline powder.

Effect of impurities
Commercial preparations of CHES (and other sulfonylethyl buffers like MES, BES, and PIPES) can contain a contaminant oligo(vinylsulfonic acid) (OVS), which is a polyanionic mimic of RNA, and can be a potent (pM) inhibitor of RNA binding proteins and enzymes.

Orkanger is een plaats in de Noorse gemeente Orkland in de  provincie Trøndelag. Het is de hoofdplaats van de gemeente en telt ruim 8.000 inwoners. Orkanger heeft een oppervlakte van 6,25 km². In 2014 kreeg de plaats de status van stad. Tussen 1920 en 1963 was Orkanger een zelfstandige gemeente. In 1963 ging die op in de gemeente Orkdal.

Orkanger ligt aan het Orkdalsfjord, een zijarm van het Trondheimfjord. De stad ligt aan de E39 zo'n 20 kilometer ten westen van Trondheim. Vanaf Orkanger liep in het verleden een spoorlijn,  Thamshavnbanen naar Løkken Verk die gebouwd was voor het transport van kopererts,
maar later ook gebruikt werd voor personenvervoer. De lijn werd gesloten in 1963, maar wordt nog wel gebruikt als museumspoorlijn.

Q: How do I vectorized these two numpy operations without using for loop? there is an operation in numpy I've found hard to implement without looping
That operation is that I have two inputs: beta,x
beta.shape = (M,N,K) and x.shape = (I,K)
The operation I'm interested in can be done using for loop as follows
result = np.zeros((M,N,I,K)) # buffer to save my operation results
for m in range(M):
    for n in range(N):
         beta_ = beta[m][n] # has shape (K,)
         result[m][n] = x * beta_

Let tricks here that I can do without loops so that the whole operation can be computational efficient ?

A: You're interested in multiplying the elements across the common K dimension, and keeping the results along the remaining dimensions.
This means you can use np.einsum using the dimensions of beta, x, and the shape result you're interested in like 'mnk,ik->mnik':
import numpy as np

M = 4
N = 3
I = 7
K = 6

beta = np.arange(M*N*K).reshape(M,N,K)
x = np.arange(I*K).reshape(I,K)

result1 = np.zeros((M,N,I,K)) # buffer to save my operation results
for m in range(M):
    for n in range(N):
         beta_ = beta[m][n] # has shape (K,)
         result1[m][n] = x * beta_

result2 = np.einsum('mnk,ik->mnik', beta, x)

print (np.array_equal(result1,result2))

True

Not part of the question but while talking about np.einsum... If you want to sum across any of these dimensions, you can omit it from the end dimensions:
import numpy as np

M = 4
N = 3
I = 7
K = 6

beta = np.arange(M*N*K).reshape(M,N,K)
x = np.arange(I*K).reshape(I,K)

result1 = np.zeros((M,N,I,K)) # buffer to save my operation results
for m in range(M):
    for n in range(N):
         beta_ = beta[m][n] # has shape (K,)
         result1[m][n] = x * beta_
result1 = result1.sum(axis=1)

result2 = np.einsum('mnk,ik->mik', beta, x)

print (np.array_equal(result1,result2))

True

Lumecca™, NEW to Laser Advantage, is the most powerful intense pulsed light to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. It is the ultimate solution to rejuvenate your skin. After one use, patients will notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca™ operates using photohermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
Common areas you can treat with Lumecca™ are usually areas exposed to the sunlight. It often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
During the treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca™ that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment, and subsides within an hour. Over the course of the next 24-48 hours after treatment you may see a darkening of pigmented spots.
Book a consultation with Laser Advantage to see if you are a candidate for Lumecca™.
What should I expect before and after Lumecca™?
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca™ that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, which leads to a more even skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.

Houston Methodist Hospital is the first hospital in its city to join Apple's health records project.
The iPhone maker released plans in January to integrate patient health records into the iPhone's Health app as part of its iOS 11.3 beta rollout. The program first launched at 12 hospitals, including leading providers like Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger and Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Medicine. Since then, almost 90 hospitals have signed onto the project, according to Apple's tally as of Aug. 22.
Ricky Bloomfield, MD, clinical and health informatics lead at Apple, posted a series of tweets in August that 10 hospitals had recently joined the initiative.

Why the Colosseum is broken and partly destroyed?
Home / Ask us /
One of the main reasons why Roman Colosseum is broken and partly destroyed is because after the fall of Rome most of the existing structures were used as materials for the creation of new constructions. Moreover, in the 7th century there was an earthquake in Rome, which destroyed part of the Colosseum. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the amphitheater was robbed by people, so many materials and decorative marble structures as statues have disappeared.
The Colosseum exists for almost 2000 years
Its construction began in 72 AD by Vespasian and finished in 79 AD by his son Titus. In 80 AD, the Colosseum was officially opened and there were 100 days of the celebration of its opening. This is the grandest ancient amphitheater in the world. Despite the fact that it went through several damages and many materials of the structure were stolen, the Colosseum remains one of the wonders of the world and you can still visit this ancient amphitheater in Rome nowadays.

Well, as measured by the game itself: Mod, get help.
Why not raise this concept? Why not take the improvement of mappers to a new level?
With the Edit / Modding Room, the mapper can take help of modding in real time, the mapper can make changes and modders he can give ideas and invite their views during the edit, making it much faster and easy way to map.
Moreover, it can be also used a "personal" chat mapper and their modders and the system of "notes", where a modder have a suggestion it adds a note, and it will appear as a "post-it" on screen mapper and click it to see what is in the message.
As soon as possible will be putting pictures as would be the Edit / Modding Room.
Edit #2: The command to add your modders to the room chat could be "/modinvite Nickname"
And they receive the join link in pm.
Would be so much more linked with the game osu! I think that will increase the participation at mapping and modding of players much!
Bumping this thread in hopes that this may come to fruition now that we've had osu!academy for over a year now.
osu!talk Guest difficulties Vs Single mapper set!
osu!academy Episode 29 - Storyboard Basics!
This would be awesome. Could people without editing permissions playtest the map? That'd be neat.
I'll make a deal: If someone creates a series of video tutorials on mapping in osu! – something I've hoped would have been done by now without even having to ask – I will put everything to one side and make something like this happen.
Take my stars. I need this in my life.
Hopefully this will happen for osu!next?
Very good idea. That would be useful.
I'll make a deal: If someone creates a series of video tutorials on mapping in osu! – something I've hoped would have been done by now without even having to ask – I will put everything to one side and make something like this happen. This is not a new idea, and it is something I have been keen to implement, but there is a lot involved in making it work correctly.
Hell, I might even settle for new video tutorials on installing and loading new maps into osu! or anything really. I's so sad to see so few quality tutorial videos .
PEPPY THERE'S BEEN TONS OF SERIES CREATED NOW WHERE THE FUDGE IS THIS??????????????!?!?!?!?!?!!?
Please don't take this seriously.
I think it'd be a slightly better idea that instead of giving people permissions, there'd be the host with the map open, and experienced mappers and qualified helpers, likely designated in some weird way, can give the host feedback via chat, and unofficially placing "notes" that the host can refer back to (Kinda like a shadow note that doesn't affect the mapping, but can be seen as a way to help w.o doing it for them). Others who would also like to learn could also spectate the mapping room+chat to reduce the amount of rooms that would be live.
Sorry for necropost,but does pishi's mapping tutorial counts?

Bosjökloster (før 1658 ) var først et kloster, siden en herregård i Frosta herred i Skåne.

Klosteret, der ligger på en landtange i Ringsjön, blev formentligt grundlagt i 1080'erne som et benediktinerkloster. Klosteret nævnes første gang i et pavebrev fra 1181, og det blev et af Skånes rigeste klostre. Dele af kirken og slottets østlige fløj er fra det oprindelige kloster.

Efter reformationen blev klosteret inddraget af kongen i 1537 og forlenet til Lunds afsatte ærkebiskop, rigsråd Torbern Bille. I 1559 forlenede Frederik II klosteret til Steen Jensen Rosensparre til Skarholt.

Allerede i 1560 mageskiftede kongen imidlertid det meste af ejendommen med Thale Ulfstand, enke efter Poul Laxmand til Stenholt. Rosensparre fik dog lov at beholde noget af ejendommen. Fru Thale var datter af rigsråd Holger Gregersen Ulfstand til Skabersjö og Hekkebjerg, som hun også kom til at eje. Hun overlevede sine børn og døde på Bosø Kloster i 1604. Ejendommen overgik da til hendes brodersøn Holger Jensen Ulfstand til Hekkebjerg, og siden til dennes datter Anne, gift med Jørgen Axelsen Urup til Birkebjerg ().

Jørgen Urups mor, Helle Marsvin, giftede sig efter mandens død med Jacob Beck til Baldringe gård () og Gladsax hus. Først Jørgen Urup og siden stedbroderen Jochum Beck afkøbte de øvrige arvingers dele, og da Jochum Beck i 1629 giftede sig med Else Sigvardsdatter Grubbe fra Hofdal Slot, var han eneejer. Efter tab måtte han sælge til Corfitz Ulfeldt, i hvis eje slottet var ved Sveriges erobring af Skåne.

Efter den svenske erobring overgik slottet til den svenske konge; men i 1735 fil Ulfeldts barnebarn Corfitz Ludvig Beck-Friis overdraget slottet. Efter friherre Lave Beck-Friis' død i 1904, blev slottet i 1908 solgt til slægten Bonde. Nu drives Bosjökloster af Tord Bonde, og det har siden 1962 været åbent for offentligheden.

Peder Eriksen Bille til Valden () (død 1585) er begravet i Bosjökloster.

Tennessee Supreme Court denies petition to rehear Cromwell's appeal application
Posted at 12:49 am May 31, 2019
The Tennessee Supreme Court has again denied an attempt to appeal the homicide conviction of Lee Harold Cromwell, who was found guilty of killing a Knoxville man in a fatal crash in a crowded parking lot after fireworks in Oak Ridge in 2015. Cromwell is pictured above during a hearing in a Nashville criminal court on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, when he was sentenced to 25 years in prison in a separate case involving 28 counts of forgery and filling fraudulent liens.

The Tennessee Supreme Court has again denied an attempt to appeal the homicide conviction of Lee Harold Cromwell, who was found guilty of killing a Knoxville man in a fatal crash in a crowded parking lot after fireworks in Oak Ridge in 2015.
The most recent denial of the appeal petition was filed by the Tennessee Supreme Court in Knoxville on May 13.
Cromwell had first petitioned to appeal to the Tennessee Supreme Court in August. In a one-sentence order in November, the court denied the application.
In a one-page motion filed May 6, Cromwell, who represented himself and called himself a "natural man," asked the Tennessee Supreme Court to revisit the appeal application that was previously denied.

For members: Man charged with attempted murder of deputy has two homicide convictions
Charles Edward Mason
CLINTON—The Anderson County man charged with attempted murder after allegedly pointing a gun at a deputy and pulling the trigger twice in April has previously pleaded guilty to homicides in Kentucky and Tennessee.
The first homicide conviction was in Knox County, Kentucky, in 1994. The second was in Anderson County, Tennessee, in 2010. The defendant, Charles Edward Mason, now 51, received a nine-year sentence in the first case and a seven-year sentence in the second. He had been accused of shooting a man with a pistol in the first case, the one in Kentucky, according to Knox County court records. He reportedly stabbed a man in the Anderson County case 15 years later.
When he was charged with attempted murder in Anderson County this year, Mason was on probation in a different case involving drug and driver's license violations. He had pleaded guilty in January to possessing more than 0.5 grams of methamphetamine for resale and driving on a revoked or suspended license. He had received a 10-year sentence, and he had agreed to be declared a habitual motor vehicle offender as well, according to Anderson County court records.
Now, he is facing 24 new charges in Anderson County, including two counts of attempted first-degree murder, eight counts of aggravated assault, three counts of aggravated kidnapping, and three drug charges, among other counts.

(For members) Testimony: Defendant in homicide case had planned to rob man
CLINTON—The defendant in a criminal homicide case in Rocky Top in August had planned to rob the 83-year-old man who died because "it would be easy," according to court testimony Tuesday.
The body of the victim, J.C. Copeland, who has been described as a "sweet old man," was found partially wrapped in a pink blanket underneath a porch at a mobile home on Jacksboro Avenue on August 31, according to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Agent John Hannon. Copeland is believed to have been strangled until he died, according to court records. There was white rope around Copeland's neck and other parts of his body, including his wrists and ankles, Hannon testified during a preliminary hearing in Anderson County General Sessions Court in Clinton on Tuesday.
Inside Copeland's home, investigators found a fresh brown stain on the floor near his front door, white strings similar to the material found around his neck, and in one possible sign of a struggle, cigarettes on the floor, according to Hannon's testimony. An acrylic painted press-on fingernail was found in the living room, Hannon said. It's similar to the type of press-on fingernail that a woman might wear, Hannon said when questioned by prosecutor Emily Faye Abbott.
Outside the home, Copeland's vehicle was missing.

Jason Robert Braden III, 3, died in the two-vehicle crash, which injured at least three other people and was considered a mass casualty event. It was reported at about 5:20 p.m. Friday, January 13, 2017, at the intersection of Emory Valley Road and Lafayette Drive.
In March 2018, Oak Ridge Today reported that an Anderson County man, Jason Robert Braden II, 25, had been charged, after the crash, in an 11-count indictment that included vehicular homicide by intoxication. The other charges against Braden included vehicular homicide by recklessness, four counts of reckless aggravated assault, reckless endangerment when a deadly weapon (a motor vehicle) is involved, driving under the influence, driving without a license, speeding, and violation of the child restraint law.
That case is still pending in Anderson County Criminal Court in Clinton. The homicide and assault charges are felonies, while the driving offenses are misdemeanors.
The second person, Ashley Marie Ann Braden, 23, was indicted by the Anderson County Grand Jury in Clinton on December 4. She was charged with a single felony count of criminally negligent homicide. The indictment alleged that Braden engaged in criminally negligent conduct that resulted in the death of Jason Robert Braden III. The indictment does not elaborate on the alleged facts of the case, which is typical for indictments. [Read more…]

The Rocky Top woman charged with homicide last week admitted stealing from an 83-year-old man who was believed to have been strangled at his home on Friday, according to Anderson County court records.
The body of J.C. Copeland was found outside of his home in the 600 block of Jacksboro Avenue in Rocky Top on Friday morning, authorities said last week.
Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation started investigating at the request of Seventh Judicial District Attorney General Dave Clark and with help from the Rocky Top Police Department, Anderson County Sheriff's Department, and Seventh Judicial District Crime Task Force.
"During the course of the investigation, authorities developed information leading to Comer as an individual responsible for Copeland's death," the TBI said in a press release over the weekend.
An affidavit filed in Anderson County General Sessions Court in Clinton said Christy Viola Comer, 37, who has been charged with criminal homicide, conspired to participate in the robbery and killing of Copeland. Copeland is believed to have been strangled to death, the affidavit said. [Read more…]

The polariton laser: With 250x lower power consumption, could this be the answer to on-chip optical interconnects?
By Sebastian Anthony on July 23, 2014 at 2:34 pm
Engineers at the University of Michigan and Intel have succeeded in creating the first practical, room-temperature polariton laser. The polariton laser is of extreme interest because it requires just 0.4% of the current required by normal lasers, making it a prime candidate for use with on-chip optical interconnects. It is also believed that the polariton laser is the first new practical method of producing coherent laser light since the laser diode debuted more than 50 years ago in 1962.
In a normal laser (which is actually an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation"), a large amount of electrical current is applied to a lasing material. In a standard laser diode, the material is usually consists of a sandwich of semiconductor pairs (gallium arsenide and aluminium gallium arsenide are a common pairing). Electricity is pumped into this sandwich until they cross a certain threshold, at which point it emits photons (that's the stimulated emission part). The problem is, a large amount of current is required to cross that threshold, and up until that point there's no lasing at all.
Polariton laser diagram. A layer of gallium nitride (the lasing material) sits atop a layer of indium aluminium nitride, which prevents photons from leaking out the bottom.
A polariton laser, however, produces coherent light by stimulating polaritons — and polaritons start producing photons as soon as you pump some electrons into them, rather than being forced to cross a certain bandgap. This means that the lasing threshold is much, much lower — just 169 amperes per square centimeter, or about 250 times less than an ordinary laser. The different method of operation also means that a polariton laser can be turned on and off much faster than a conventional laser. [DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.236802 – "Room Temperature Electrically Injected Polariton Laser"]. In case you're wondering, a polariton is a quasiparticle formed by an exciton (an electron and an electron hole) and a photon. The polariton entry on Wikipedia has a lot more info if you're interested, but be warned that you'll need a solid grasp of quantum physics to get past the first three words.
"For the past 50 years, we have relied on lasers to make coherent light and now we have something else based on a totally new principle," says Pallab Bhattacharya, the University of Michigan engineer who led the research.
University of Michigan's polariton laser (the triangular bit), seen under the microscope
While it's nice to have another method of producing coherent light, by far most significant part of this discovery is the dramatically reduced power requirement. Computer designers have known for some time now that copper wires, with their high resistance and power consumption, are a significant bottleneck. There is a reason that most high-speed interconnects now use fiber-optics (laser), rather than copper wires. By far the biggest speed gains would be realized by on-chip and inter-chip optical interconnects — but so far, there hasn't been a laser diode that's small enough or low-power enough to enable the dream of silicon photonics. [Read: HP bets it all on The Machine, a new computer architecture based on memristors and silicon photonics.]
This polariton laser could change all that — and it's definitely interesting that one of the paper's authors is from Intel. Obviously we're a long way away from integrating polariton lasers with advanced VLSI CMOS chips — IBM is much further along with that — but still, this is a very exciting breakthrough.

RECAP: Harsh and hours-long confrontation between protesters and riot police occurred at Din Daeng junction during pro-democracy protest yesterday
Wednesday, 8 September 2021, 23:32
Bangkok –
A major confrontation between a group of pro-democracy youth and crowd control police intensely occurred yesterday, September 7th, after the "Thalu Gas" group called for a demonstration to oust Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O'Cha.
The group started gathering at around 5:30 PM. at the flashpoint of the Sam Liam Din Daeng junction while a group of law enforcement officers was also approaching the scene to maintain peace and order. A quick arrest of 15 protesters and confiscation of giant firecrackers, ping-pong bombs, crystal balls, and handmade weapons were conducted at the very beginning of the protest.
As of 7:30 PM. on Asoke-Din Daeng Road heading towards Ratchaprarop Intersection, a motorcycle was reportedly set on fire. According to a local source, it was a police vehicle that was seized from a security checkpoint.
Water cannons and rubber bullets were constantly fired at the protesters, causing them to disperse for a while before the group came back and started to fight back with handmade bombs and weapons.
More burning of garbage was reported near the Din Daeng expressway. Police announced an alert from the Royal Thai Army Band Department to stop throwing firecrackers, and fireworks otherwise the police needed to enforce the disposal according to the international standard for security purposes.
The sound of firecrackers and bombs was constantly heard while the crowd-control police were attempting to disperse the crowd with rubber bullets and high-pressure water cannons. More enforcement arrived at the scene at around 10:08 PM., leading to a more intense confrontation. The officials asked the media and those who were not involved to leave the scene.
This was, TPN media notes, during a mandatory curfew of 9:00 P.M. to 4:00 A.M. due to Covid-19 precautions in Bangkok.
The confrontation lasted for nearly 5 hours and began to calm down at around 11:30 PM. According to the Metropolitan Police Bureau, 15 arrested protesters were taken to Din Daeng police station over the charges of illegally gathering with more than 10 people and causing a riot.

Palmitinsyra eller hexadekansyra är en organisk fettsyra med 16 kolatomer och en av de vanligaste mättade fetterna i växter och människor. Den är vit och fast och smälter vid 62,9°C. Dess kemiska formel är CH3(CH2)14COOH.

Vid fysiologiskt pH så återfinns palmitinsyran som palmitatjon, CH3(CH2)14COO−.

Framställning
Palmitinsyra framställs av fettämnen genom förtvålning och destillation i vakuum av de vid förtvålningen utskilda fettsyrorna. Den kan också erhållas genom fraktionerad destillation av barrträdstjära.

Förekomst
Palmitinsyra hittas som namnet antyder i palmolja. Smör, ost, mjölk och kött innehåller också palmitinsyra. Den förekommer i förening med glycerin som triglycerid, palmitin (tripalmitin) i de flesta naturliga fettämnena, och i förening med andra alkoholer i valrav och vanligt vax m m.

Användning
Tillsammans med stearinsyra utgör den råvara för tillverkning av stearin. Den kan även användas som lösningsmedel för olika hartser.

In partnership with IDEO, a leading international design and innovation firm, Digital Promise developed "Evolving Ed-Tech Procurement in School Districts," an exploration of ideas to make learning technology procurement more modern, efficient, and attuned to demand.
The report is the latest step in Digital Promise's ongoing efforts to create efficiencies and smart demand in education technology, and continue IDEO's unique application of empathy and design thinking to the public and private sectors. Together, IDEO and Digital Promise convened a wide range of stakeholders to devise potential solutions for the oft-lamented challenges in selling and purchasing education technology.
To prepare the report, IDEO interviewed 34 individuals, explored existing education resources, and sought inspirational best practices to understand the barriers and potential solutions in the learning technology space. IDEO presented its renowned "design thinking" method at a meeting of our League of Innovative Schools and facilitated a workshop for district leaders, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and education experts focused on the key barriers, brainstorming solutions, and developing concepts to test and iterate at the district level.
Procurement can be a tricky, unsexy topic. Many of the testimonials you will see from district leaders and technology vendors bemoan the process as muddled, inefficient, and even frightening. The workshop began with a healthy skepticism that these longstanding processes in education could be upended. "Innovation is scary," we heard.
But as a result of this work our work with IDEO, we believe procurement can be a more human-centered process that spurs mutually beneficial relationships between schools, practitioners, and entrepreneurs.

Ernest Caparros (Málaga, 18 de abril de 1938-Montreal, 26 de noviembre de 2018) fue un civilista y canonista canadiense, de origen español. Profesor de Derecho Canónico y Derecho Civil en la Universidad de Ottawa.

Biografía
Hijo del malagueño Antonio Ernesto Caparrós. La familia de su madre procedía de Granada. Allí realizó la educación básica, y el bachillerato en el Instituto Español de Tánger. Tiempo después, aunque llegó a matricularse en la Universidad de Granada (1955), finalmente decidió trasladarse a Madrid, donde se licenció en Derecho en la Universidad de Madrid (1955-1959). Posteriormente se estableció en Pamplona, donde se licenció (1959-1961) y doctoró (1962) en Derecho Canónico en el incipiente Instituto de Derecho Canónico de la Universidad de Navarra. Su tesis doctoral sobre "La intención contraria al bien de la prole en la jurisprudencia rotal (1900-1950)", estuvo dirigida por Javier Hervada.

El 24 de julio de 1962, su vida dio un giro de ciento ochenta grados, al emigrar a Canadá. En su nuevo país, continuó con su formación académica. Tras obtener el diploma de Estudios Superiores en la Universidad de Montreal (1962-1964), realizó una tesis de maestría titulada "Les incidences du Bill 16 sur les régimes matrimoniaux", en la Universidad Laval (1965), donde fue alumno de doctorado (1965-1973), hasta que en 1973, defendió su segunda tesis doctoral, en esta ocasión en Derecho Civil, dirigida por Germain Brière. La tesis fue publicada en 1975, en el libro Les lignes de force de l'évolution des régimes matrimoniaux en droit comparé et québécois.

El 11 de octubre de 1967 obtuvo la nacionalidad canadiense.

Finalizada su formación universitaria, comenzó su carrera docente en la Universidad Laval (1966-1981) donde fue sucesivamente profesor ayudante, adjunto, agregado y catedrático, enseñando Derecho comparado, Derecho civil y Derecho canónico (1966-1980). Allí, demás de editar los Cahiers de Droit (1965-1970), fue vicedecano de la facultad de Derecho (1971-1977).

En 1981 se trasladó a Ottawa, donde fue catedrático de su universidad hasta su jubilación en 2002, pasando a ser profesor emérito. En Ottawa enseñó Derecho de bienes, Derecho matrimonial, Derecho sucesorio, Derecho comparado e Introducción al Derecho canónico. Durante esa época editó la Revue Générale de Droit (1981-2002).

También dio clase durante varios años en la facultad de Derecho Canónico de la Pontificia Universidad de la Santa Cruz (Roma).

La conferencia de Rectores de las Universidades del Quebec le nombró miembro del Comité de evaluación de los programas de enseñanzas jurídicas de la provincia quebequense (1972-1973). Ha sido experto del Tribunal Superior del Quebec en materias de Derecho canónico, consejero jurídico de la Asamblea de Obispos del Quebec (1982-1990), juez del Tribunal de Apelaciones Eclesiástico de Canadá (1986-2000 y 2004-2018), y director de la serie Gratianus para la editorial Wilson & Lafleur.

Alan Grisbrook v MGN Ltd (2009)
An application to commit a newspaper publisher for breach of an undertaking to the court not to infringe a freelance photographer's copyright was refused as, although the publisher's actions had infringed copyright, the issue between the parties was not one which had featured in the actions leading to the consent order and committal proceedings were inappropriate.
The claimant freelance photographer (G) applied to commit the first defendant newspaper publisher (M) for breach of an undertaking contained in a consent order. Alternatively, he applied for orders of sequestration against M's assets. G had provided photographs for M for a number of years, without a written contract, and was paid when his photographs were used. It was M's practice to archive photographs and any subsequent use would entitle the photographer to a further fee. It was accepted that G had granted M a licence to reproduce his photographs for a monthly fee and that he retained copyright in his photographs after their use by M, though there was dispute regarding whether the licence extended to the reproduction of photographs in already published newspapers. Following a dispute between the parties in relation to unpaid licence fees a consent order was made. The order terminated the licence, entitled G to the return of his copyright material held by M and contained an undertaking by M not to infringe G's copyright. G undertook an agreed search of M's archive to locate his material and on conclusion served a further copy of the consent order, endorsed with a penal notice, on M. He continued to carry out random searches of M's websites and discovered a that large number of his photographs were still being used. Although M removed his photographs from some of its websites, it refused to compromise in respect of images contained on websites which offered complete back issues of its publications. G contended that any reproduction of already-published material constituted an infringement of his copyright and was therefore a breach of the undertaking. M argued that the consent order was not intended to cover the reproduction of photographs as part of already-published newspapers and should be construed so as not to include that use of G's material if it would otherwise amount to an infringement of copyright. M further argued that even if the undertaking was unlimited and included such infringements, no infringement had taken place or could take place as the licence granted by G had to be treated as extending to the subsequent reproduction or use of published material.
The real issue between the parties was whether the operation of the back-issues websites amounted to an infringement of G's copyright in the photographs contained in those issues. The starting point had to be consideration of whether the licence granted to M extended to the storage of and access to G's work provided by the websites. Any licence represented a derogation from or relaxation of the copyright owner's statutory rights and it therefore had to be for a defendant to justify, in the absence of express agreement, the basis for extending the licence to cover what would otherwise be separate acts of infringement, Ray v Classic FM Plc (1998) ECC 488 Ch D applied. Although that test was satisfied in the instant case in respect of compilation of the database and its use for archive purposes, its exploitation through the back-issues websites seemed to be a different kind of operation which was not contemplated at the time the licence was granted and could not be said to have been necessary to regulate the rights of the parties at that time. M's operation of the back-issues websites did therefore constitute an infringement of G's copyright. However, it was an important and by no means straightforward point of law on which M was entitled to take a different view, and disputes of the instant kind should not be resolved through committal proceedings. The dangers inherent in generally-worded injunctions or undertakings not to infringe a patent or copyright had long been recognised and could often lead to a further round of litigation in order to determine whether an infringement had occurred. The point taken by G was not one which featured in the actions which led to the consent order and should have been resolved in ordinary proceedings to determine whether the operation of the websites involved an infringement, Multiform Displays v Whitmarley Displays (formerly Reay & Davis) (No2) (1957) RPC 260 HL applied. A respondent who maintained in good faith that the conduct complained of did not amount to an infringement should not ordinarily be penalised by a fine or sequestration in the event of failure merely because an applicant had chosen to use committal proceedings rather than an ordinary claim to resolve the issue. Although the operation of the back-numbers websites did infringe G's copyright in his photographs, those rights could be adequately protected by a declaration to that effect. There had been no deliberate or conscious non-compliance with the consent order and no further action would be taken in respect of the breach of the undertaking it contained.
Application refused

TWO days before the regional elections Prime Minister Robert Fico ceremonially opened the R4 motorway between Košice and the border village of Milhošť, in eastern Slovakia.
The road is an important connection between the east of Slovakia and Hungary, Fico commented during the ceremony, as reported by the TASR newswire.
Fico said that the plan to build the expressway was first presented in 1992; nevertheless, the idea began to materialise as late as between 2006-10, when Fico's first administration included the project in its Government Manifesto.
"The expenditures on the construction of the road were covered mainly from European Union resources," TASR quoted Fico as saying. "I'm glad that the stretch, which includes 16 bridges, has been completed and can serve the public."
Also speaking at the opening ceremony, director of the National Highway Company (NDS) Milan Gajdoš added that the construction of the 14.2-km section cost a total of €78 million and took 37 months because of several short delays that were caused by a number of archaeological finds from the Late Iron Age recovered at the construction site, according to TASR.

Hi, I'm Christine Widdall and the author of these pages. I started researching my family history in about 2005 and my first family history web page was just a list of ancestors. As time went on, more and more information became available on-line and I was able to find out about the lives and times of my ancestors…so I began writing up their stories.
Now I have become even more fascinated by the area where I was born and am looking at the wider history of the West Riding of Yorkshire. I hope that the pages will be interesting to a broad range of people and not just my actual Kirklees cousins.
My interest in researching our family history began in the early 2000s with the stories I remembered my grandmother telling me about my her mother, Ellen Wilson Hemingway. My grandmother had told me: "Ellen was a mannequin – who had been disowned by her family. She had a servant and was driven about in a carriage". My grandmother also said that her family had been wealthy mill owners, but didn't specify which branch of the family, so I didn't have much to go on more than 30 years after my grandmother's death.
What I found, in fact, was that, although Ellen was known as the daughter of John Wilson, she actually began life as Ellen Fozzard. She was a dressmaker before her marriage and therefore probably also could be described as a mannequin, as dressmakers would model their samples in those days. Also, she was illegitimate, known by her mother's married name of Wilson, but Ellen legally still had the surname "Fozzard" when she married…maybe her illegitimacy is the origin of the theory that she was disowned, or that her mother was. The 1851 Census shows that Ellen's parents did have a servant living with them, so maybe they had a small carriage too!
I then tried to find the mill owners of the family. Possible connections with the mill-owning Fozzards of Dewsbury and Batley, which I initially pursued, led nowhere. Ellen's Fozzard ancestors were stonemasons of Woodkirk (situated between Batley and Wakefield). Ellen's father/stepfather was named John Wilson. His family were woollen manufacturers (hence the mill owning link?) but no link to multiple mill ownership was found there. At last I found that it was Ellen's husband, Herbert Hemingway, a textile engineer, who came from a long line of blanket manufacturers and mill owners based in Earlsheaton, the village just outside Dewsbury where I grew up. The Hemingways go back to the 15th Century in the Halifax area and came to Dewsbury in the 16th Century. Their story can be read here.
Ellen's daughter, my grandmother, Lilian, with sons Eric and Hector in 1916
I also have some vague recollection of being told that my grandmother's family was associated with the fishing industry at Fleetwood. My cousin remembered that too, but this lead had not proved fruitful so far.
Like all family stories there were things that I found to be true and other things perhaps exaggerated or attributed to the wrong person or impossible to confirm. I spent a long time researching the Fozzard and Hemingway families and, by this time, my appetite had been whetted and I became well and truly hooked. It was the beginning of an amazing journey into the past and I am still travelling.
Inset is a photograph of my grandmother Lilian, taken in 1916 with the children of her first marriage to Harry MacDonald – Hector (standing) and Eric (seated), who were my mother's half-brothers.
I have a great affinity with Lilian; like me, she was widowed early and re-married. Her first husband, Harry, a sailor, died on board ship from pneumonia and my grandmother believed that he was buried at sea. I recently discovered that he died in December 1918, on board aboard HMS Europa in the Dardanelles, "from illness" and he was buried on land in a British cemetery at East Mudros, Lemnos, in the Aegean Sea. When my Gran received news of his death and burial in the "Aegean", she must have mistakenly assumed he had no physical grave, but that his body had been placed in the water. How sad that she never knew the whole truth…fortunately Harry has grand-daughters so I was able to pass the information to them.
Eleven seamen died "from illness" aboard HMS Europa, between 14 Nov and 23 Dec 1918, including Harry MacDonald, who died on 6th December, aged 30. At the top of the page recording the deaths is stated:
THE SPANISH INFLUENZA: The pandemic lasted from approximately July 1918 to April 1919 with a major peak in the UK between September 1918 and January 1919. It can be assumed that the vast majority of illness deaths (aboard naval ships) in these periods were due to the Spanish flu.
Aboard the Europa, there were over 50 on the sick list during July 1918-April 1919, probably all suffering from the Spanish flu. HMS Europa was the flagship at Mudros July 1915 – 1919 and was decommissioned at Malta in March 1920. Purchased by G F Bletto on 15 September 1920 for conversion to an emigrant carrier, the vessel sank in a gale off Corsica in January 1921.

Similarly, my first husband died from haemorrhagic pneumonia, the result of a virus. Both Lilian and I were left with two young children to rear. Both re-married. Like me, she mostly wore purple and also in common was our love of amethysts.
I've spent thousands of hours, since 2005, on researching my family. People often ask "how do you know it's true?" and "where did you find it all?" Well, the simple answer is that I don't know it all to be true…some links are accepted on the evidence available from rigorous one-name studies and original parish records (much easier when the names are uncommon)…and many more are shown to be true through copies of marriage certificates, wills and other documentation. In many cases, the "truth" is based on a combination of evidence from parish records, census, birth, marriage and death certificates, property deals and wills. Together, they allowed me to piece together the families and build up a picture of my ancestors and their lives.
However, mistakes can be made. The details that are printed in this web site do not contain my research notes, of which I have thousands of pages. Where links are uncertain, that is noted down in my research notes, but of course, in this web site such "unproven" are not identified…so if you find a link that you think is your family, please check it for yourself. When I discover that a link is definitely not viable, I edit the website accordingly, so some changes have been made over the past years. I try to keep the website up to date but I consider the project always to be a "work in progress".
At some stage I must publish my findings in a family book for my children, grandchildren and beyond, but I am still agonising about the format and content of that and how to make it "palatable".
If you find errors, please get in touch and let me know…using the form on the contact page.
