News: 60mph speed limit on M1 in bid to cut pollution levels in Rotherham
Highways England has confirmed that it will trial 60mph speed limits on the M1 in Rotherham as action needs to be taken to reduce emissions and improve air quality.
The limits would be operational 24 hours a day instead of during peak times as they currently are.
The M1 smart motorway became operational in the region and open to traffic in 2017 with the section was designated as Britain's first ever Air Quality "Speed Limit" based motorway.
Highways England completed a £106m scheme on a ten mile stretch of the M1 between junctions 32 (south of Sheffield and Rotherham) and 35a (north of Sheffield and Rotherham), and a 20 mile stretch of the M1 between junction 28 (South Normanton) and 31 (Aston) in a project costing £205m.
The projects include converting the hard shoulder to an extra traffic lane in both directions and variable mandatory speed limits set daily between 7-9am and 3-6pm.
Now Highways England is proposing to introduce speed restrictions in various locations including between M1 junctions 34 (Meadowhall) and 33 (Catcliffe).
An update from the government agency said: "We are testing whether reducing the speed limit reduces NO2 levels. We will continually monitor this trial and if proven successful, the speed limit will remain in place until the area is compliant.
"The locations were identified as locations where NO2 levels exceed the legal limit annual mean limit level of 40 µg/m³.
"We have a duty to bring these locations into compliance with the limit value in the shortest possible time where feasible options exist. In these trial locations we expect that reducing the speed will lead to a reduction in emissions and accelerate compliance."
In 2014, the Transport Secretary put the brakes on the Highways Agency's (now Highways England) plans to implement a maximum mandatory 60mph speed limit. The speed limit would have been used between 7am and 7pm, seven days a week.
Highways England has confirmed that the speed limits will be operational 24 hours a day, adding: "We need to improve air quality at these location in the shortest timeframe possible. Emissions levels are calculated on an annual average basis, and so having the speed limits in place 24 hours a day will bring down the annual averages in the shortest timescale possible. Also vehicles travelling late at night often travel at higher average speeds resulting in high levels of harmful emissions. All vehicles emissions at any time of day contribute to the total."
Reduced speed limits are expected to have a "negligible impact" on journeys as the length of road covered by the limit will be less than 4.5 miles.
Rothbiz reported last week that, having been charged with coming up with local plans for reducing air pollution, Sheffield Council announced that it was delaying its proposals in order to review the possible impacts of COVID-19 on businesses, transport, and air quality.

1. Kidcreate Studio continues to open new locations in the United States and in 2018, the brand opened two new locations in Mansfield, Texas and Savage, Minnesota. The Mansfield studio opened in February, while the Savage location opened in May.
2. Kidcreate Studio in Mansfield is owned and operated by Vanessa Cancel, who felt it was time to make her dream of having a work/life balance a reality.
3. The Kidcreate Studio in Savage is owned by Carrie Berger, who spent 20 years in business administration working for large Fortune 500 companies. Berger had always wanted to be a business owner and searched for a franchise that would allow her time with her family and be a benefit to the community. Berger felt that Kidcreate Studio fulfilled everything she was looking for in a franchise.
4. Kidcreate Studio acknowledges that understanding and implementing various forms of technology can be daunting for business owners, who must first determine the technology best suited for their needs, then learn how to utilize it and weave it into the current business model.
5. To make things easier for its franchisees, Kidcreate Studio has already done all of the hard work. With a seamless integration of multiple technology-based systems in place, from initial training to ongoing support, franchisees are given all the tools necessary to succeed, including class-tracking software, database management, and online registration tools.
6. Kidcreate Studio's class-tracking software was custom designed to allow franchisees to record where classes have been offered, track class performance, and organize curriculum information. Franchisees can easily remain aware of top-performing classes, capitalizing on the information to maximize profitability and keep a finger on the pulse of the business.
7. Kidcreate Studio provides customized database management software with a variety of web forms to help build and grow a database which also generates sales leads. In addition, the software serves as an all-in-one sales and marketing program, hosting more than 20 customized marketing campaigns, sending weekly newsletters, automating customer surveys, and assisting in employee task allocation.
8. Additionally, Kidcreate Studio has made registering online for classes easier for both franchisees and parents. The Kidcreate Studio registration system is fully integrated, automatically transferring customer information where it needs to be. From start to finish, the online registration process includes payment processing, a confirmation email, addition of the student's name to the class roster, and the customer's data imported into the franchisee's Kidcreate Studio database.
9. Online registration is not limited to classes, however. Birthday parties become simple to plan with an easy party confirmation process, online party waivers, and upsell techniques built right into the party booking process. Online birthday party registrations also allow for customized art projects and gift bags centered around party themes.
10. Kidcreate Studio offers three different program options that are valuable for customers and for franchisees' revenue streams: registration-based classes, group activities, and community events.
11. Registration-based classes are a type of class or camp that is offered with the hopes that families enroll their children. It is not guaranteed to run but the majority of them typically do. There are minimum enrollment numbers predetermined. The minimum number of children enrolled must be met in order to enable the class or camp to run. Registration-based classes are offered at the studio, through community education and parks and recreation programs along with daycares, preschools, and montessoris.
12. Group activities are booked by a program or organization with the idea that all the children will be participating in the activity. Group activities are offered through care programs, scout troops, daycares, preschools, montessoris, church groups, and "moms" groups. Different terminologies are used when referring to this type of class, including outreach programs, in-center activities, and field trips. According to Kidcreate Studio, these types of class bookings tend to be for a very large number of kids and can be very profitable for franchisees.
13. At Kidcreate Studio's third option, community events, stations are set up where the kids at the event can create a predetermined art activity. Any of the children at the event can participate if they choose.
14. Kidcreate Studio was started in 2007 by Lara Olson in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Olson felt that her son wasn't being exposed to enough art in school and she wanted to supplement his art education. After being unable to find adequate art programs in her hometown, Olson decided to create her own kids art studio that combined quality art education with a fun, kid-friendly environment.
15. The following year, Olson opened the first Kidcreate Studio in Eden Prairie and that same year she launched the On-the-Go Studio division, which allows franchisees to bring the Kidcreate Studio curriculum to private schools, community centers, preschools, and other areas in their communities.
16. Kidcreate Studio's growth has been slow and steady. The second location did not open until 2013 in Woodbury, Minnesota. Olson started franchising the Kidcreate Studio concept in 2016 and the company now has locations outside of Minnesota – in North Carolina and Texas. Kidcreate Studio continues to seek franchisees throughout the United States.
17. Kidcreate Studio did not rank on Entrepreneur's 2019 Franchise 500 list.

Three-dimensional NLS-graphy of digestive organs

Department of internal diseases and family medicine of Omsk State Medical Academy
The latest computer technologies has become a basis for revolutionary transformation of classic two-dimensional scanning (2D) in real time mode. The result was creation of three-dimensional NLS-graphy (3D).
In 2000's the Institute of Practical Psychophysics (Omsk) strted development of a new method, allowing to render three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of an NLS-image. For the first time 3D images was used in computed tomography for reconstruction of bone structures in craniofacial surgery. The pioneer of the 3D is Kretztechnic AG Company (controlling interest belongs to Medison Corp.) which created in 1989 the first commercial device Сombison 330 able to carry out multiplanar reconstruction of data in three orthogonal projections with use of special 3D-sensors for transabdominal and transrectal scanning.
The advantages of 3D-NLS, setting it apart from CR and MRI, are absence of ionizing radiation, safety, non-invasiveness and relatively low price. The greatest advantage of 3D-NLS is a possibility to get ultrathin sections which are invisible at routine scanning and in precise evaluation of affected nidus condition with use of specialized programs for 3D scanning: Deep Vision, Fast Vision and ultramicroscanning with a possibility of spectral-entropic analysis (SEA) applying. Besides this method allows to manipulate acquired data, i.e. transform, rotate, zoom in and out of structures, recreating true anatomy of organs in direct projection. However today there is still no decisive answer to what role this method plays in diagnostics and what additional to 2D information it can provide?
3D NLS-graphy has found its place in diagnostics of digestive organs diseases also.
In developed countries CT, MRI and ultrasound methods, complementing each other and sometimes competing, have become obligatory visual methods applied in hepatology. At the same time, NLS-graphy, while being not the most widely spread method, has certain advantages: better ability to present general panoramic image of large structures, no chance of artifacts, usually appearing when a ray comes through gas, bone or fat, typical for all ray-investigation mathods.
In certain clinical situations awareness of liver condition is crucial. It is known that both own and transplanted liver tissue can regenerate, that is why visual methods gradually becoming a part of this process monitoring. Although today MRI and volumetric CT are used in this case more frequently, 3D NLS-graphy has great prospects, allowing to replace in the future these very expensive, complex and radiation related (CT) methods. It is very advisable, because in this case a clinician could check-up patient after, for example, liver transplantation many times.
S. Wagner et al., have carried out 2D and 3D NLS study of 93 patients with chronic diffuse hepatic diseases and compared results achieved with both methods. 3D exceeded 2D NLS study in evaluation of hepatic vessels and gall ducts condition. 3D NLS data was found to be more informative in diagnostics of Budd-Chiari syndrome, primary sclerosing cholangitis, but it did not give additional information for differential diagnostics of chronic diffuse hepatic diseases.
According to G. Esmot 3D NLS is a perfect method allowing to evaluate liver condition at cirrhosis; in this case acquired image is rather close to an image acquired at laparoscopy.
Pic. 1. Three-dimensional NLS-graphy of liver. Liver cirrhosis, complicated by ascitis.
The greatest achievement of methods allowing to visualize nidal changes in liver is the development of 3D NLS. H. Leiss et al., have proven that 3D NLS gives in consecutive studies more precise and repeatable results of focal hepatic affections changes than 2D NLS and even CT. It is very important, because an amount of planned treatment depends on a condition of affected area. As soon as results of 3D NLS are comparable to results of CT, 3D NLS may be used for dynamic monitoring of patients as an alternative for CT. 3D NLS may be useful in monitoring of patients with inoperable tumors or, vice versa, at planning of liver resection amount, definition of tumor and major hepatic structures topography, volume of healthy hepatic parenchyma, remaining after resection. Using 3D NLS it is possible to determine direction of a needle at interventional procedures, including biopsy, aspiration, injection of therapeutic agents. The method allows not only to diagnose, but to get accurate evaluation of echinococcus cyst condition, carry out it aspiration, alcoholisation, and, if necessary after evaluation of treatment effect, reaspiration.
A special advantage is a possibility to get accurate evaluation of hepatic vessels, including tumorous ones (character of tumor vascularisation is a criterion of its growth and invasiveness, that is why such information may be decisive). Alternative CT method, allowing to get high-quality image of vascular structures without adverse side effects, is NLS-angiography. Application of SEA and NLS-ultramicroscanning of tumors presupposes promising results, but until now this question is still unanswered.
According to G. Eamat and M. El Raziky, 3D NLS study renders invaluable help in diagnostics of chronic liver diseases in patients with ascites due to venoocclusive diseases, when obliteration of hepatic vein and minimal irregular blood flow are registered.
Splenomegaly is the most frequently diagnosed pathological condition of a spleen. Its focal affections, conditioned by malignant of benign tumor, as well as cysts are easily identified by 3D NLS.
3D NLS exceeds 2D in evaluation of spleen, allowing to identify its condition, first of all volume of affection, with high precision. Easily produced high-quality 3D NLS image of spleen in NLS-ultramicroangiography mode helps to provide quick and accurate diagnosing of its infarction or trauma.

M. Sackman et al., after applying of 3D for investigation of patients with neoplastic affections of pancreas and calculous pancreatitis, have concluded that the method is extremely useful for identification of tumor spreading degree and its invasion into surrounding tissues. Stones in pancreas are diagnosed well also.
3D NLS helps in detection of peripancreatic cyst due to formation of pseudocyst (which is important for dynamic monitoring in this group of patients) or tumor, and in precise evaluation of intrapancreatic lesions.
The authors informed about advisability of tumor volume detection in order to decide about possible application of radical surgery at periampular cancer. However the question whether 3D NLS gives more precise measurements than CT or ultrasound in this group of patients or not, is still unanswered.

Bile-excreting system
M. Sackman et al., have noted advisability of 3D NLS application for studying of gall bladder walls condition and cholesterosis diagnostics.
The authors believe that 3D NLS is a promising method for revealing of pathognomonic changes of biliary three at primary sclerosing cholangitis.
In general we must emphasize that 3D NLS completely reproduces anatomic and topographic interrelations of common hepatic duct and gall bladder, portal vein, hepatic artery and inferior vena cava.
NLS-graphy allows to study in details a wall of gastrointestinal tract, surrounding organs and structures. 3D NLS, while improving visualization, promotes identification of true topographic relations and a nature of pathological formations. It is a clinically sifnificant method for diagnostics of local tumorous affections and diffuse changes of intestine and stomach walls, detection of intraluminal pathology.
NLS-graphy of an intestine with use of three-dimensional reconstruction may become a procedure of special significance in diagnostics of hollow organs. We found that this method is more accurate than 2D NLS-graphy, because it allows to get multiple and strictly space-oriented crosscuts. 3D NLS helps at definition of a tumor condition and measuring of its length (for example a distance from an end of a rectum tumor to external sphincter, which, in the end, determines selection of amount and method of surgical intervention).
3D NLS made technically possible application of NLS-graphy in diagnostics of esophagus affections, extending possibilities of the method in identification of a cancer stage. 3D reconstruction contributes greatly into interpretation and quantitative analysis of a situation requiring introduction of a stent at esophagus cancer. J.Lin and D. Goldberg in a preliminary study have demonstrated a possibility of 3D reconstruction of data acquired by application of NLS-ultramicroscanning; at the same time 3D NLS-ultramicroscanning turned out to be more precise, than spiral CT at evaluation of esophagus cancer.
3D NLS-graphy of a stomach with SEA allowed us to diagnose malignant ulcer in greater curvature of the stomach and prove involvement of regional lymph nodes.

At progressing neoplastic process and development of small intestine ascite, intestinal peritoneum, greater and lesser omentum may be successfully visualized.
N. Hunerbein et al., after studying of 3D NLS-graphy's role in investigation of 100 patients with rectum cancer, concluded that this method allows to evaluate areas of affection in various projections and crosscuts, which is practically impossible for traditional 2D NLS-graphy.
Ascite
G. Esmat and М. El Raziky, after analysis of study results of 39 patients with ascite, concluded that 3D NLS is a method of choice at this pathology. Moreover, the authors attempted to identify etiology of ascite. So they managed to describe pathognomonic signs of tuberculous ascite, when in almost all cases affected intra-abdominal lymph nodes were visualized. 3D NLS with SEA allowed to carry out a differential diagnostics between tuberculous and malignant nature of lymphoadenopathy in 98% of cases.
We must emphasize that area of clinical application of 3D NLS is being extended, because the method provides anatomical reconstruction of researched area (organ, structure), acquiring of most accurate results at evaluation of organ's condition, analysis of ultrathin crosscuts, visualization of which is impossible at routine scanning. The information saved entirely, so it is possible to reconstruct it many times without any time limitations and in absence of a patient (patient feels no discomfort and inconvenience).
Doubtful and questionable results of scanning may be re-analyzed in details and with involvement of experts, who can give independent interpretation of saved multidimensional image.
Application of 3D NLS looks very promising first of all in oncology, because improvement of computer diagnostic software, introduction of SEA of tumor structure, visualization of its surface in three dimensions, and future increasing of resolution capability of a method thanks to development of new high-frequency devices, will improve not only primary diagnostics of neoplastic affections, but finally allow to carry out differential diagnostics between malignant and benign nature of neoplasms.
Introduction of three-dimensional reconstruction at 3d NLS, especially at application of high-frequency devices of Metatron class manufactured by the IPP, can give morphological evaluation of gastrointestinal tract wall condition.
3D NLS has prospects for allpication not only in major regional centers, but at early stages of medical assistance as well. Appearance of new equipment will stimulate and extend areas of 3D NLS application. The evidence of this is a breakthrough made by IPP (Institute of Practical Psychophysics) in 2008. For the first time a system for non-linear diagnostics Metatron-4025 with Metapathia GR Clinical software capable of creating of three-dimensional reconstruction in real-time mode, was introduced in the market.

About CCAC
Situated on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, Tampa Bay was just a small town in Central Florida in the late 70s. There were not even two thousand Chinese in the whole Tampa Bay area – including Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. By then, the University of South Florida was only established with a short history of about twenty years. There were only a small group of Chinese students at USF. As the Chinese gradually gathered together, several families felt the need to start a Bible study group, a regular Friday night Bible study group was thus emerged in 1979. From the 80s, the group started to rent USF as the regular meeting place.
By the grace of God, the group formally registered as Chinese Christian Church of Tampa Bay Area, Florida in the state of Florida in 1982. From then on, regular Sunday worship services were held on Sunday afternoons with the help of different pastors. The size of the congregation grew, among them were the USF students and their families. We finally joined the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination and changed our name to Chinese Christian Alliance Church of Tampa Bay Area(CCACTB), Florida in October, 1989; and we moved to rent the place of First Alliance Church of Tampa for our meetings.
January 1st, 1990, Rev. David Fung, from Canada, was called to serve as our pastor. God was good to us, He gave us more people and the offering received from brothers and sisters in Christ was boosting up. By 1992, we were financially independent; the regular Sunday attendance was above a hundred; and our membership exceeded 60. In 1994, we bought the present church building from First Alliance Church of Tampa, and began to own our own church property.
Rev. Fung left to California by the end of 1994; Rev. Wallace Mang was called to serve as our pastor from June, 1995. From October 1995 to August 1997, we have Mr. Robert Miller as our Youth Coordinator to minister our second generation. With the addition of Cantonese Service in January, 1996, we started to develop the ministry of the Cantonese speaking people in the Bay area. Rev. Mang left at the end of December, 2002. The Chinese Worship Service became bi-lingual with interpretations between Mandarin and Cantonese.
Rev. Geoffrey Yong was called to serve as our pastor from June, 2003. In July, 2003, the English Worship Service started. In March, 2005, God sent Rev. Samuel Seaman to serve as our English Ministry Pastor leading the English Ministry to another level. Rev. Seaman left at the end of June, 2009. The English Ministry suffered a little. God is faithful. His Holy Spirit was working in the hearts of brothers and sisters. Many started voluntarily to serve in different capacities at the church. Rev. Yong also left us at the end of September, 2011.
In October 2012, Pastor Steven Shao was called to serve as the Chinese pastor and Pastor Edward Stuart Jr. was called to serve as the English pastor. God is good, both pastors are currently faithfully serving at CCACTB.
Our church membership is currently 140. The regular Sunday attendance is about 150. The regular meetings to fit the needs of people in the congregation include: English Worship Service, Mandarin/Cantonese Worship Service, Children Service; Sunday Schools in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English for adults; Youth Sunday School and Children Sunday School. We also have prayer meeting every Sunday morning and Choir practice every Sunday afternoon. During weekdays and Saturdays, there are Mixed Marriage Fellowship, Caleb Fellowship, Good Friends Fellowship, Family Fellowship, Sister Fellowship, College & Career Fellowship, Cantonese Fellowship, Joy Fellowship, Faith Fellowship, Chinese Alliance International Fellowship (CAIF), and Youth Group, Men's English Group and Mandarin/Cantonese Bible Study Group. During a week in summer, an exciting Vacation Bible School (VBS) is organized for the elementary school children. Through the years, there have also been numerous short term mission trips to Asia, Europe, the Carribean, South America and the USA. God's grace is abundant!
The population of Chinese in the Tampa Bay Area has been growing to over 10,000. There are hundreds, or over 1000 Chinese students, scholars and their families coming from China and Southeast Asia, and studying at USF and other colleges. They, especially those from China, are enthusiastic toward searching for meaning in life and exploring their faith in Christianity. We pray that God will continue to bless and use us, so that the Chinese Christian Alliance Church of Tampa Bay Area will be a place where people will find meaning and solace in life, a pipe through which the Gospel is sent to China, and a participating servant in His great plan of "Back to Jerusalem."

Rated G :: Caravans are having a difficult time getting through to Parnast via the Black Road. Organized attacks by orcs and other monstrous humanoids working in concert with one another have folks baffled. Little do they know that an unusually intelligent hill giant, going by the name of Bad Fruul is to blame. SEER has sent her emissary HSING, to task your group to accompany a caravan with a very special cargo destined for the Shrine of Axes in Parnast, and to figure out who is responsible.

1. Use the job description to anticipate questions, and come with an arsenal of you best stories. Beyond the standard interview questions ("Tell me about yourself," "Why should we hire you," "what is your weakness"), which hundreds of other bloggers and books have covered, you should read the job description carefully and turn the requirements into questions. If the job description says you must have strong analytical skills, you may be asked "Give an example of a time you used your analytical skills," or "Can you walk me through how you would analyze this case study problem?" If the job description emphasizes teamwork, you may be asked "Can you give an example of a time when you overcame a conflict in a team?" If it's a senior-level position, you may be asked "Can you give an example of a time you led an organizational change?" or "What is your leadership style." Look at each qualification and duty of the job and turn it into a question.
Your story answers should be in the "Problem-action-result" format. What was the status quo when you arrived, what did you do to solve the problem, and how did your solution solve the problem? How is this story relevant to the requirements of the job you are now interviewing for?
2. Use LinkedIn to research the interviewers; and use LinkedIn to research your predecessor, if you have one. Go to LinkedIn.com (you have a profile, don't you?). Then go to the "Advanced" link (top right-hand side of the page, next to "people") and do an advanced search for people. Type in the name of the company that's interviewing you, and then type in the names (or job titles, if you don't have names) of the people interviewing you. Read the person's profile and look for their keywords, educational background etc. Also search for your predecessor. Does everyone in the department have similar backgrounds? If you know they all have worked for the same company in the past, can you research that company as well? If they all have a particular educational background, can you emphasize how your background is similar; or if it's different, how your differences will add to the team? How do they describe what they currently do?
3. Use internet research to understand the employer. These days, every organization has a website. But just reading the website is not enough, if you want to beat the competition. If it's a corporation, find their 10K; if it's a nonprofit organization, go to Guidestar.org to view the 990 tax return and see what they spend their money on (and the salaries of top staff). Go to Glassdoor.com to read company reviews (and, often, sample interview questions they are asking other candidates). Go to Lexis-Nexis (go to your local library to get free access if possible) to read news articles about the company; and go to Hoovers.com to do company research. Go to Google News and search for news. Be sure you know the name and bio of the CEO, and if it's a publicly-traded company, their current stock price. Look at their competition and trends/news in the industry as a whole.
4. Consider a 30/60/90 day plan. Consider putting together your plan of action– what you would do, if hired, in the first 3 months of the job. Find a subtle way to bring this up in the interview, or, if you are asked what you would do in the first few months of the job, bring out a memo or PowerPoint showing you have thought through exactly what you would achieve. Especially for sales or for leadership-related positions, this can truly distinguish you from your competition. Look at Peggy McKee's Career Confidential report here for ideas.
5. Practice. Run through your interview questions with a career coach, a friend, a video camera, a family member, etc. (The career services office of the university you attended may offer this service for free or low cost.) Try to say your interview questions out loud at least once or twice before the big day. Practice makes perfect, and nothing cures pre-interview jitters than being really ready and having your answers well-rehearsed. Don't memorize your answers, though– you still have to come across sounding natural.


LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister Theresa May won a confidence vote in the British parliament on Wednesday before inviting other party leaders for immediate talks to try to break the impasse on a Brexit divorce agreement.
After the results of the confidence vote were announced to cheers from Conservative MPs, May said she believed parliament had a duty to find a solution that delivered on the 2016 Brexit referendum result.
But with MPs deadlocked on the way forward, the United Kingdom could face a disorderly "no-deal" Brexit, a delay to Brexit, or even another referendum on membership.
However, opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said no positive talks were possible unless a no-deal Brexit was ruled out. His party wants a permanent customs union with the EU, a close relationship with its single market and greater protections for workers and consumers.
May's spokesman said she was not ruling out a no-deal option and that it was government policy to be outside an EU customs union. Critics said this meant May was not budging from the deal that had alienated all sides in parliament.
Companies warned of catastrophic job losses and chaos at ports if there was no deal. Trade with the EU would then default to basic World Trade Organization rules, which many argue would disrupt innumerable manufacturing supply chains relying on rapid, friction-free trade.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said there was little time to find a solution and "the time for playing games is now over".
For the EU, already reeling from crises over debt and refugees, Brexit is possibly the biggest blow in its 60-year history, though its 27 other members have shown remarkable unity on the issue.
Calls have grown from pro-EU MPs from both her own party and the opposition for another referendum with an option to cancel Brexit. Labour has said it will rule nothing out if it fails to bring May down.
However, Britain's leaders are concerned that to stop Brexit could alienate the 17.4 million people who voted to leave.


Our Products >> Who's Killing the Brooklyn Dodgers?
A one-time scrub for the Brooklyn Dodgers is shot to death in the Citi Field press box during a visit to New York City. Soon afterward, a couple of similar shootings of a restaurant cook on a subway platform and an accountant on the West Side Highway suggest more than just unconnected big city violence. Drawn to the case by family promises, private investigator Paul Finley seeks a pattern to the shootings even as they increasingly endanger him and those closest to him.


The Old Governor's Mansion is an example of High Greek Revival architecture. It was completed in 1839 by Charles Clusky, who was a noted architect and Irish immigrant.
During the notorious "Sherman's March to the Sea," General William T. Sherman claimed the mansion as a "prize" on November 23, 1864.
Sherman arrived in Milledgeville in a freezing rain in the late afternoon and was surprised to find the house stripped of carpets, curtains, and furniture of all sorts.
In 1973, the mansion was designated as a National Historic Landmark and is also an accredited museum of the American Alliance of Museums.
In 1889, the mansion was used as the founding building, and most treasured building, of Georgia Normal and Industrial College (now known as Georgia College).
This past April marked the 10 year anniversary of the mansion's restoration to the mansion's appearance c1851. With re-exposed pine floors, as well new air conditioning diffusers and re-structuring of some of the main aspects of the mansion, it looks better than ever!

Groundwater sustainability in several parts of India is of great concern because of the increasing abstraction to meet the demands of the burgeoning population. Among the various options available to develop an optimum management plan for such places, artificial recharging structures play a vital role and their impact on the water table need to be analyzed. This study deals with the impact of recharge structures (Check dam and Recharge shafts) constructed by TWAD in a channel in Thodur Village, Walajabad Block, Kancheepuram district of Palar Basin mainly to recharge the drinking water wells. The aquifer of the study area was simulated using the 3D finite difference model, Visual MODFLOW. Calibration and validation of the model were done for the period December 2007 to December 2011 using the observed data and the results agreed with the water table elevation of observed and predicted values. R2 value was between 0.87 to 0.94 for calibration and 0.72 to 0.98 for validation. Behavior of the water table was simulated using the validated model. Five different scenarios were considered to study the impact of these recharge structures. The results from modelling showed that there was an increase in the groundwater level by 1.59m on an average due to the combined effect of these recharge structures; 1.40m due to check dam only; 1.19m due to the recharge shafts alone and by 1.20m on increasing the depth of the recharge shaft. It was also noticed that the recharging effect was highest in well 2 compared to other wells. The simulation results showed that the sustainability of groundwater is possible only when the head is maintained at the check dam and for the prevailing pumping and recharge levels.

Q: Error in connecting App Engine backend to Async Task I am trying to write a backend service in Android, which reads a remote database and executes a query on it, returning the result in a ResultSet object. This is the code for my Java Bean which I return from the API call (called SQLResult):
package com.gradai.rushhour.backend;

import java.sql.ResultSet;

public class SQLResult
{
    ResultSet result;

    public SQLResult()
    {

    }

    public ResultSet getResult()
    {
        return result;
    }

    public void setResult(ResultSet rs)
    {
        result = rs;
    }
}

Now I try to use this API (called sqlBackend) in an AsyncTask in the actual app. In the onPostExecute function, I am getting an error:
error: incompatible types: com.gradai.rushhour.backend.sqlBackend.model.ResultSet cannot be converted to java.sql.ResultSet

This is the code for the said function:
protected void onPostExecute(SQLResult result)
{
    ResultSet rs = result.getResult();
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, rs.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    toast.show();
}

I don't get why is a ResultSet class being created in the backend model. Please help me in understanding what is going on. I'll be glad to provide further code if needed for debugging.
EDIT: These are the import statements used in the AsyncTask program:
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.google.api.client.extensions.android.http.AndroidHttp;
import com.google.api.client.json.gson.GsonFactory;
import com.gradai.rushhour.backend.sqlBackend.SqlBackend;
import com.gradai.rushhour.backend.sqlBackend.model.SQLResult;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.ResultSet;

Also, please note that: I tried to convert the ResultSet in the API function to an ArrayList, and changed the SQLResult class to contain the same. Now, when I try to access the ArrayList in the same function, I get the error that a List is expected instead of an ArrayList. Could that be helpful?
