Canon Adrian Towers
parishpriest@standrewscottam.org.uk
Canon Adrian J Towers, VF, was ordained priest on 14th November, 1981, by Bishop B Foley at SS Mary and Michael's, Garstang.
He was installed as Canon at Lancaster cathedral on 25th November, 2014, and he is now the Dean of Preston.
Before taking up his appointment at Cottam in September, 2003, Canon Adrian previously served as Assistant Priest at St Joseph's, Preston, and St Clare's, Preston, (where he was also chaplain to the Royal Preston Hospital) and as Parish Priest of St Wulstan's, Fleetwood.
Since Advent 2009 he has also been Priest in Charge of St Mary's, Lea Town.
Canon Adrian has degrees in Theology from Durham University and Moral Theology fromthe Gregorian University in Rome. He taught for several years at St Joseph's College, Upholland, and at St Cuthbert's College, Ushaw (Major seminary and college of Durham University), where he was Lecturer in Moral Theology.
From 2002-2012 he was Director of Formation for the Permanent Diaconate in the Diocese.
In June 2012 Bishop Michael Campbell appointed him as a member of the Diocesan Tribunal.
In addition to his above duties, Canon Adrian was appointed Rector of the Parish of St John XXIII in Preston which is based at St Joseph's and incorporates the Catholic communities of The English Martyrs and what were previously known as the parishes of St. Ignatius, St Teresa and St Augustine.
However, having now overseen the successful transfer of the church of the English Martyrs to the care of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest and with Fr John Millar – previously Assistant Priest – becoming the Parochial Administrator, Canon Adrian is no longer the Rector although he will continue to provide support as Dean of Preston when required.

If you suspect you may have some sleep related problems - you should consult your physician or locate a sleep center near you. You can easily locate a sleep center near you by going to our home page and selecting "Find a Sleep Center Near You". We provide you with the recognized standard questionnaires that helps determine if you may be a candidate to have a sleep study; you can print the questionnaire and present it to you physician to help evaluate your need for a sleep study. You can also find out more information about questionnaires and/or sleep apnea by clicking the CPAP Education tab on our website.
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which holds the airway open so that uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. This eliminates or reduces sleep disordered breathing events (sleep apnea) and allows you to get a restful sleep. CPAP therapy is traditionally provided through a nasal mask that seals around the nose. However, more innovative, comfortable and better sealing options are beginning to emerge.
Since your CPAP machine requires a prescription; it is best determined by your physician as to which device will work best for you. We encourage you to ask many questions or describe your typical sleeping situation, this may assist your physician in the decision making process. Things to consider are: type of usage, do you travel; do you need humidification, weight of the machine, size of the machine, noise level, etc.
Traveling with your CPAP can sometimes be a hassle. However, with proper preparation, it can be very easy. If you are flying with your CPAP, you can bring your CPAP machine on the airplane with you and it will not count as one of your carry-on items. Never check your CPAP machine because through normal luggage handling procedures it can easily be broken. You may want to call ahead and find out your airline's procedures for carrying your CPAP machine on the airplane to prevent any delays through security. We have learned that many airlines will not let you use your CPAP machine during the flight because it is not a life-sustaining device. You may want to contact your airline to see if you can make special arrangements If you are driving across country with your CPAP or are camping, you can still use your machine (depending on the make and model). If your machine has the ability to run off of 12V (check your owner's manual) then you will be able to run your machine off of either a battery, or plug it into the cigarette lighter adapter in your car / RV if you purchase the proper cables.
An Auto CPAP machine is a machine that uses two pressure settings; a high setting and a low setting. The machine starts at the lower setting and through the course of the night it senses when you are having sleep disordered breathing. It then begins to slowly raise the pressure toward the set high pressure. Once the apnea is eliminated it will stay at that pressure for a period of time and then slowly begin to decrease back toward the lower pressure. If another apnea occurs in the meantime, it will then begin to increase, so on and so forth. In this way, the machine automatically figures out the best pressure for you to be sleeping at for that particular night. This is a nice feature because your best therapy pressure is not always the same. It greatly depends on your daily activities and your personal habits.
A Bi-PAP or Bi-Level machine uses two separate pressure settings for your therapy: An inspiratory pressure and an expiratory pressure. When you inhale, the therapy is delivered at the set inspiratory pressure, and then when you exhale, the pressure is delivered at the set expiratory pressure. The inspiratory pressure is always greater than the expiratory pressure. This type of machine is usually used for people who cannot tolerate a normal CPAP machine or for people who have other conditions along with their sleep apnea.
For your CPAP filters you should change them whenever you start to see them get fairly dirty. Remember, this is the air you are breathing at night! If you have the foam, reusable filters, then you should rinse them out and let them air dry at least once every other week or based on manufactures recommended procedure. We recommend replacing your tubing once every three months to reduce the risk of dirt and bacteria build up in your tubing that can cause you to become ill. Water chambers should be replaced at least once every 3-6 months depending on how well you clean it daily.
You should always use distilled water in your humidifier to prevent the buildup of mineral deposits on your water chamber. This will significantly prolong the life of your humidifier.
All of the masks are standardized so that any mask will connect with any machine.
With proper maintenance a CPAP machine should last as long as 5-7 years. Always make sure you purchase a trusted brand to get the longest life out of your CPAP machine. CPAP masks on the other hand only have a shelf life of about 6-12 months with proper care. For more information, please see our CPAP replacement schedule.

CPAP and BiPAP Machine pressures are a prescription therapy setting. These setting are controled and locked by the CPAP machine, only accessible by authorized clinical staff. CPAP pressure settings are based on the recommendation of your physician and should not be adjusted without speaking with him/her first.
CPAP masks are designed with an intentional leak so that during exhalation your CO2 is "blown off" and you are not retaining it. This blowing air can usually be felt from the exhalation port on your mask. If the air leaking from you CPAP mask is around the cushion seal it could be a number of things.
1.) Has the CPAP mask leak just developed or has it been leaking since you first got the CPAP mask? If it happened over a period of time, it's most likely oil and dirt build up on the cushion from lack of proper CPAP mask cleaning or maintenance OR the CPAP mask has been used for a longer period and needs replaced (remember, these masks really only have a shelf life of 3 months to a year.
2.) If the mask has leaked from the begining, it's most likely that you have not been properly fit for the right CPAP mask size or your facial structure dictates that you need a different style mask.
3.) You have facial hair that is limiting the CPAP mask seal; in which case you may want to explore a different mask style.
4.) The CPAP mask cushion has seperated from the CPAP mask frame. Examine the mask and make sure it is properly put together.
This is understandable for most people new to CPAP therapy. Lets face it, more than likely you have gone most of your life not sleeping with a mask on your face or pressurized air blowing into your nasal passage. CPAP does take some getting used to and the first few weeks are the toughest. Some people adjust to right away while others need an elevated level follow up, direction and support during this transition period.
CPAP machines have ramp features to assist with the anxious feeeling of breathing on the CPAP machine while you are awake. Adjust your ramp time accordingly and gradually reduce it when you become more compliant with CPAP. If you can only use the CPAP machine for a few hours the first night, thats OK, try to use it a little longer the next night and so on until you can sleep the entire night with it.
Many first time users will pull the mask off during the night and not even realize that they did it. This is typical during intial CPAP use and should subside over time.
Try wearing the CPAP mask and using the CPAP machine while watching TV or reading before bed time, this should help reduce that anxiety you may feel when you first go to bed and put the CPAP mask on. If all else fails, contact your CPAP provider and speak to a specialist about specific issues.
CPAP therapy does take patience and determination at first to make that break through to CPAP compliance. There are other alternatives to CPAP such as surgery, oral appliances, or based on your degree (i.e mild, moderate or severe sleep apnea)a diet and exercise plan. These alternatives should first be discussed with your treating physician prior to use. CPAP has been the only 100% proven effective treatment for sleep apnea but others might be a candidate for alternative treatment. You should consult your physician prior to any decision for therapy selection.

One of the main new features that I have been focusing on lately is the Main Menu functionality. As seen below, it's very similar to the Pause Menu at this point, except with your game title being displayed at the top in a larger font.
Also, as with the Pause Menu, the Main Menu can be enabled/disabled from the Game Configuration dialog. When disabled, your game will launch the startup script right away instead of first displaying the Main Menu (as it had previously behaved). When enabled, clicking the "Start" button on the menu will launch the startup script.
To accompany the new Main Menu functionality, there is a new "Main Menu" tab within the UI Editor. This editor will give you a static preview of the menu's appearance. The Properties panel to the left provides options for designating the menu's background. Currently you can select between a solid color background or a 3D view of one of your maps. When using a map as a background, you can choose from a saved camera position. Camera positions are discussed a bit later on in this post. In a future release, you will also have the option of using an image for the menu background.
The "Free Camera" mode is a feature that I recently added to the Map Editor and can be toggled on and off from the toolbar. When enabled, the camera can be flown around the map freely as shown in the GIF below. This should make editing your maps easier as it will allow you to move closer in to work on harder to reach locations.
Another Map Editor feature that relates to the free camera mode is the ability to save camera positions. These camera positions will have multiple uses, such as for your Main Menu background, scripting camera movements, or even simply as bookmarked/favorite positions for quickly navigating to different areas of a map while editing in the Map Editor. These saved positions will appear grouped together on the Properties panel under "Camera Positions".
Lastly, for anyone interested, I've updated the main website for RPG in a Box to include my Twitter feed in the sidebar. This will give better visibility into my activity since these larger cumulative updates are less frequent. And of course, you can always follow me on Twitter for frequent updates! I typically try to post at least a few times each week with screenshots or GIFs of what I am currently working on.


The economic value perspective is when the variation in the market interest rate can impact the economic value of the asset of the financial institutions, their liabilities and the respective OBS position. Sensitive of the economic value of the bank and the fluctuation of the interest rates need to be given important consideration of the different stakeholders. The economic value of the instrument is based on the assessment of the present value to the expected net cash flow and the discounted market rates. Based on this, the economic value of the financial institutions can be used to present the expected net cash flow. The expected net cash flow of the bank is the misusing of the asset value cash flow to the liabilities of the cash flow on the OBS. From this, it can be comprehended that the economic value perspective only reflects a certain viewpoint. Only the sensitivity of the net worth of the bank to the fluctuation of the interest rates is considered, the economic value perspective is considered to have a potential impact of the interest rate change on the present value to all of the future cash flow. There is a potential impact that is observed in the interest rate changes. This is based on the present value to all the future cash flow. In addition, these are used to provide a more holistic view of the long-term effects within the interest rates that are offered by the earning perspective. The comprehensive view is found to be important as it considers the changes in the near term earning. Moreover, the typical focus of the earning perspective is not an accurate indication of the impact of the interest rate movements. The next factor that needs to be considered is the embedded losses. Earning and the economic value perspectives are based on the future changes within the interest rate that is used to impact the financial performance of the bank. There are many evaluations of the interest rate risk that the bank must consider. These changes in the financial institutions earnings are reflected in the earning of the financial institutions.
These are some of the impacts of the changes in the IRR. From this, it can be construed that the IRR plays an integral role and it is important to measure the IRR accurately. The various methods of measurement and management of the IRR by the financial institutions are detailed in the following section.


Modern history is filled with terrible crimes, baffling hoaxes, and seedy scandals. The infamous Jack the Ripper slayings. The alleged survival of Anastasia Romanov, the youngest daughter of the murdered Tsar. Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong's public fall from grace. The Chicago Tylenol poisonings and the copycat crimes that followed.
this book is just brutal. so hard to follow I swear you have to be a computer scientist to get half of the information.
Rose George, acclaimed chronicler of what we would rather ignore, sails from Rotterdam to Suez to Singapore on ships the length of football fields and the height of Niagara Falls; she patrols the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force; she joins seafaring chaplains and investigates the harm that ships inflict on endangered whales. Sharply informative and entertaining, Ninety Percent of Everything reveals the workings and perils of an unseen world that holds the key to our economy, our environment, and our very civilization.
I thought this book was going to be more about the container industry,but is basically a woman's journey on a container ship one way voyage. She shares the stories she hears from the crew throughout the book. Since I work in Logistics I had a bigger expectation.
I feel like I just knocked out a college course!
title of my review says it all. great book well laid out and very interesting.
This book covers a variety of topics regarding ENTPs (extroversion, intuition, thinking, perception) and why they make such creative individuals. In this book we'll begin by exploring why the MBTI test is important before then digging in to why ENTPs make great leaders. From there we'll venture into the greatest strengths and weaknesses of individuals who identify as ENTPs. Finally, we'll explore what makes ENTPs happy and what they value in their personal relationships. We'll close by learning about 10 famous ENTPs and what you can learn from them.
This book was scarily spot on of who I am.
I couldn't believe how much this book described me. I can never let my wife hear this.....lol. good book.

Search for Trevorrow
Hearing Mark Trevorrow on ABC 702 Sydney a couple of weeks ago made me want to dig out this old interview with him. I'd interviewed him previously, during one of his many University of Sydney performances as a stalwart of student entertainment. He was always appearing at beginning or end of term celebrations, it seemed, and one time or other, while working for the University of Sydney Union, I got to interview him for the Union Recorder (as opposed to just producing advertorial – or 'Dombo Journalism', as I used to call it – as I did for most Union events back then).
This inteview was pretty special, however. It really came together well. I finally worked out, in my head, who 'Bob Downe' was, even though I was interviewing Mark Trevorrow again. I found, in fact, interviewing Mark Trevorrow several times subsequently, that my image of Bob Downe became clearer and clearer, as Mark Trevorrow became more and more distinct as a personality apart from Bob. Indeed, I suspect Trevorrow was finding Bob Downe a more defined character as he continued to define himself more boldly as a separate but no less public, performing entity.
For some reason I found it helpful to compare and contrast, to a certain degree, Trevorrow's Bob Downe with Barry Humphries's characters. Interestingly, Humphries was my first real interview, ever, for Honi Soit, the newspaper of the University of Sydney, produced by the Student Representative Council. It was a breakthrough for me. The Bob Downe interview below was my first interview for Revolver, a free entertainment rag. I vividly recall trying not to talk too loudly in my office – the Publications Department (ie my cluttered office) of Cranbrook School (for that was my 'real' job, Publications Co-ordinator at Cranbrook School) – as I conducted the interview sans recording equipment or speakerphone, furtively scrawling barely legible notes on a legal pad. As soon as the school newspaper, The Cranbrook Chronicle was being printed, I'd feverishly complete this interview, setting the standard: every week for the next five years (failing to meet the odd deadline here or there; that is to say, occasionally being so late that no piece ran; mostly being late but still in time for one to be published) I presented a different comedy-related interview. In addition to being a crash course in stand-up for me, I felt I was also educating an audience, and all the while, helping educate up-and-coming comics. If Sydney's stand-up scene eventually got the jump on Melbourne, it was because, for a while there, there were people who had a clear idea what they were doing, why they were doing it, how it ought to be done, who for, and where it all fit in, in the greater scheme of things. Over five years, I pretty much found my voice and an ability to interview.
I have interviewed Trevorrow a number of times since this was written in 1998 (it was 1998, so forgive the dated political outlook; who was to know Kim Beazley's best impression of a Statesman would be in conceding defeat in an election he should have had no trouble winning, and handing over leadership of his party, in 2001?). Trevorrow continues to be an interested and engaging interview subject – responsible for increasingly involved and ever-more-funny live shows. And for the record, I've watched him go from taking the piss out of the Tony Bartuccio Dancers, to working with Tony Bartuccio. I hope to eventually dig out later interviews where Trevorrow discusses all of this.
For more info on Bob Downe and Mark Trevorrow, in his own words, plus updates on tours and performances, and access to heaps and heaps of clips, check out his YouTube page. Meanwhile, here's the interview.
Bob Downe for Revolver
"You're talking to Mark Trevorrow rather than Bob Downe," a jet-lagged voice announces. "Did my manager explain it to you? Bob Downe's not a real person."
"What?" I demand, worried. "I suppose you're going to tell me Good Morning Murwillumbah, the breakfast show he hosts, isn't a real television program either…?"
"Well," the voice replies, "I don't want to break your heart…"
My first conversation with Mark Trevorrow took place in 1995 when he was frequently dashing between England and Australia consolidating Bob Downe's success. Having been effectively 'on tour' with Bob for seven years, 1995 was an important year; Bob Downe met the Queen at The Royal Variety Performance. 'Yeh Yeh', a cover of the old Georgie Fame number, had just been released as the lead single from Bob's then-forthcoming album Jazzy. The album featured the track 'Je T'Aime', a duet with Julian Clary. If Jazzy failed to entice as wide an audience as it ought to have, it is only because it arrived too soon, the cocktail music revival failing to take hold for at least another six months. Not that Jazzy was a calculated attempt to exploit a trend; Bob Downe exists beyond genres. He always was and always will be and his kitsch appeal has no beginning or end.
Yet, speaking to Mark Trevorrow then, it was as though he didn't know this. Bob would rarely speak for himself in interview, and apart from the broad facts as to when and how Bob was conceived, Mark didn't have much to say about him. Not like — and I loathe the 'critic's way out' that this comparison presents — Barry Humphries. The characters of Barry Humphries all seem to have lives of their own. Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson are frequently interviewed in character, and they make reference to the nebulous Humphries. And his creations have a thriving inner life that enables Humphries to talk at length about them. In performance, Bob Downe would tell us more about himself during between-song patter, but he only existed on that stage.
Within the few years that have passed, things have changed. All Bob Downe, Bob's autobiography as written by Mark Trevorrow, has been published by Penguin. Bob's universe has been fully fleshed out, so much so that the most recent Good Weekend's 'The two of us' column featured Mark and Bob being interviewed about each other. Clearly then, when I rang Trevorrow out of the blue to request "an interview some time," his response of "how about now" took me by surprise.
"Bob's something I've been doing since I was a little kid to make everyone laugh," says Mark Trevorrow of his alter ego. Influenced by the high-camp artifice that was day-to-day television programming in this country, as well as film and radio, young Mark had "a little fantasy show-biz empire" with his sister and the kids next door, putting shows on in the back yard. "I never dreamed that it would be something that I'd do professionally," he says.
After completing his schooling at Murrumbeena High in 1976, Trevorrow pursued (or perhaps 'fell into') a career in journalism. Beginning his cadetship as a 17 year-old copy boy at Sun News Pictorial in January 1977, by its end in 1981 Mark had served as a daily pop columnist. However, broader interests were already drawing him in other directions. His years of avid television viewing may have prepared him for his production post on Channel 10's Together Tonight (a magazine-style show than ran nightly for six months).
Irrespective, Mark was already developing a cabaret act within the comedy group Gloria and the Go Gos. Featuring Wendy de Waal in the role of Gloria, the act was largely "thrown together" as a party turn.
Renamed 'The Globos', the band had its first hit in 1982 with the song 'Tintarella Di Luna'. Pre-empted back into existence by Joe Dolce's pontificating 'Shaddup You Face', the sub-genre of wog novelty discs fell into (or perhaps 'pursued') its late-80s nadir courtesy of Con the Fruiterer's 'Cuppla Days'. The genre's zenith was definitely 'Tintarella…', which made it into the top twenty charts. When you listen to the song (the high-camp artifice that is contemporary advertising has led to its recent use on a television commercial, but I can't for the life of me remember what was being flogged) you will hear Wendy and the band give their all. As with Bob Downe's Jazzy, there are times when you are not entirely convinced that The Globos know whether they're taking the piss or not.
A second single, 'The Beat Goes On', made it into the Top 40 in 1983 and was followed by a national tour with the Total and Utter King of Rock and Roll, Cliff Richard (who, like Bob Downe, is a 'committed bachelor'). When The Globos broke up in 1984, Trevorrow resumed his career in journalism. Joining Vogue Australia as a staff writer, Mark eventually rose to the position of freelance Arts Editor. However, it wasn't long before he was once again writing and performing, this time in a double act with Cathy Armstrong. Consisting of sketch comedy, the duo devised a show, A Nice Young Couple, which they performed in 1985. They also went on to write and perform for ABC Radio's comedy unit. It was from this work that Bob Downe was created, initially as a parody of Entertainment Tonight. Bob Downe went solo in 1987, launching his career at Sydney's self-proclaimed nursery of comedy, the Harold Park Hotel. A brief internship at Melbourne's Last Laugh — "it was sort of 'Comedy Central' in those days," Mark explains — gave way to Bob's foray into Britain in 1988.
I must admit that my first real introduction to Bob was via his work with the Doug Anthony Allstars, particularly in the series Daas Kapital. "I think I started working with the Dougs in '87, at the Last Laugh" Mark recalls. "They showed me the festival ropes, how to go about doing the Edinburgh Festival. Then we did a lot of touring. I used to support them a lot whenever they were playing in London." Bob, of course, remembers the proceedings so much more vividly than Mark. In an episode of Daas Kapital, a mermaid (played by Khym Lam, partner of Dougs' guitarist Richard Fidler) sums the group up thus: "Paul [McDermott]'s the one you want to do it to, Tim [Ferguson]'s the one you think of while you're doing it, but Richard's the one you want to marry." Bob takes us a step further in All Bob Downe: "Tim — like all the pretty ones — just lay there, vaguely sort of indicating. Richard? We just talked all night. And Paul… like a stinky little jackrabbit. In the end I let him hump my leg while I read TV Week."
All Bob Downe marks a coming of age. Bob Downe has always exploited television. On stage, his Tony Bartuccio Dancer-moves (running directly at the camera and peeling off to the side at the last moment) are exactly how they were done on The Don Lane Show. His version of The Theme from 'Fame' bore the garbled lyrics as learnt from the crappy monaural television that you and I used to watch it on in the 70s. Daas Kapital contained the brilliant TV-advertised album commercial — "Jesus loves me, and you will too when you hear Bob Downe for Jesus". All Bob Downe brings this acute level of parody to the print medium. Bearing the bold and flamboyant typefaces and colour scheme (beige and parrot shit green) of a 70s annual, the chapters of All Bob Downe open with fraudulent newspaper headlines taken from archival issues of the Murwillumbah Irrigator. It also contains all the name-dropping references and photos of Bob's brilliant career thus far.
Mark Trevorrow recognises the position Bob is now in as the beginning of a new phase. "It's gotten to the point where Bob is someone you can always depend on to get up and do a silly song. But after 15 years, Bob is ready to host a show, rather than just make spot appearances." Indeed. Bob's hosting of the Mardi Gras telecast is testament to his ability and suitability. But that is the very least we should expect from Bob Downe. I put it to Mark that perhaps Bob Downe ought to be the first President of the Australian Republic.
"Bob would leave that to the Ray Martins and the John Farnhams," Trevorrow advises. "Bob's civic duty is strictly limited to shopping centre appearances and cutting ribbons at the openings of fetes." Fair enough. Bob is already acquainted with public office, what with his having been presented to the Queen. Which leads me back to that loathsome comparison again. Edna Everage had reached about the same point in her career as Bob is at now when Gough Whitlam bid her 'Arise, Dame Edna'. Don't be surprised if, at some point in the near future, Prime Minister Kim Beazley utters a similar dictum: "Arise, Bob Downe." That's if Kim heeds the advice of his physicians to 'arise, bob down, arise, bob down, arise…"

Q: Problem in installing library from github Generally, while installing libraries like lapack, blas, I just run the makefile and then they get automatically installed. To link them with my gfortran compiler, gfortran -llapack or gfortran -lblas flags are enough to link them. But when I installed this slatec library using make, by giving the flag gfortran -lslatec, nothing happended and it gave error that cannot find slatec. How to install it properly?
https://github.com/Rufflewind/slatec
This is the library.

A: The command
make FC=gfortran all

builds the libraries in a local lib/ directory:
$ ls lib/
libslatec.a  libslatec-dbvp.a  libslatec-sbvp.a  libslatec.so  libslatec.so.4  libslatec.so.4.1.1

If you want to link the library when building your own program, you will need to tell the compiler where to find it by supplying an additional library search path
gfortran . . . -L path/to/slatec/lib/ -lslatec

or copy the library/libraries to somewhere on the default library search path such as /usr/local/lib - the slatec Makefile provides an install target to do exactly that, as you can see by running make -n install
$ make -n install
install -d /usr/local/lib
install -m644 -t /usr/local/lib \
    lib/libslatec.a lib/libslatec-dbvp.a lib/libslatec-sbvp.a
install -m755 -t /usr/local/lib lib/libslatec.so.4.1.1
cp -P lib/libslatec.so lib/libslatec.so.4 \
    /usr/local/lib

so you'd do
sudo make install

To run programs that are linked against a new shared library, you may additionally need to run
sudo ldconfig

in order to update the dynamic linker cache.
