Sister Eileen Fahey, a native of Bansha, has been announced as the Hall of Fame winner for 2018 by the Tipperary Association Dublin in recognition of her lifetime contribution to addiction treatment.
She gained national prominence many years ago when she founded Aiseiri in Cahir. In the early 1980s, through her work in addiction, she discovered that a serious vacuum existed in community addiction treatment services.
Her response was to develop a residential treatment facility, which she called Aiseiri. Sister Eileen showed strong and dynamic leadership from the very beginning and in a very short time her Aiseiri project was recognised, not just in Ireland but internationally, as one of the most professional and effective addiction treatment models.
She was Director for 30 years as new centres opened in Wexford, Waterford, and Kilkenny. Since 1983, more than 6,000 people and their families have availed of its services with over 60% managing to turn their lives around. Initiatives undertaken by Aiseiri include the setting up the first Therapeutic, Drug-free, Addiction Training in Ireland.
She had the energy and the tenacity to persuade people and institutions to support her cause. The Sisters of Mercy backed Sr. Eileen, public fundraising raised significant moneys and later the Health Board provided support.
She follows in the great tradition of religious people and congregations who provided Education, Health Care and Social Services in Ireland and further afield.
The road to addiction recovery is always difficult, challenging and painful and from day one, Sister Eileen was very much aware of this. She knew that those entering addiction treatment would require a safe, compassionate and caring environment, along with high quality professional treatment and support.
That is exactly what Aiseiri provided and Sister Eileen played a pivotal role in creating that environment. While she knew that the road to recovery would be tough, she believed that with adequate support and encouragement people could overcome addiction and return to their communities to lead normal lives.
Sister Eileen decided a few years ago to retire as Director of Aiseiri and she passed on the baton to a Chief Executive Officer. As the founder of Aiseiri this too took great vision, courage and no little wisdom. However, Sister Eileen continues to serve the community of Cahir in a variety of ways, for example, she is the local organiser and facilitator of the Cahir branch of Grow – a peer support group for people coping with mental health issues.
For her lifelong commitment and leadership role in the great, continuing work of Aiseiri Sister Eileen Fahey is a worthy winner of The Tipperary Association Dublin Hall of Fame Award for 2018. Tipperary, and indeed Ireland, can be proud of this selfless inspirational lady.

History In Progress: Ugandan photo opportunities
start	March 30, 2012 3
This photograph comes from the collection Andrea worked with before she started HIP. Together with the owner of the material, mr. Kaddu Wasswa, and his grandson Arthur C. Kisitu she made 'The Kaddu Wasswa Archive, a visual biography', a book and a traveling exhibition.
Uganda, the state, will be 50 years old on October 9. That is the history book record. However, a private photo collection that started life as a Facebook archive venture is challenging that version of events. Most times, unintentionally.
By the simple act of dredging up visual records from 100 years ago of life in the area that is now geographically registered as Uganda, History in Progress Uganda (HIP) is forcing a re-think of what it means to be Ugandan and where Uganda come from.
Written by David Tumusiime
Andrea Stultiens and Rumanzi Canon (the initiators of HIP) did not claim such lofty goals when they started this project unique in Uganda's history. Stultiens says her driving goal was a "long standing idea of establishing an accessible collection of collections."
Andrea Stultiens and Rumanzi Canon
Stultiens is a Dutch photographer who has worked on previous projects in Uganda such as the Kaddu Wasswa Archive, resulting in a book and an exhibition in 2011. She has a passionate interest for the use and narrative possibilities of photographies and collections of visual material. She met local artist Rumanzi Canon during a Bayimba photography workshop last year.
A casual perusal of HIP in its 9th month though proves it is growing beyond their original intentions. Stultiens and Rumanzi rely on individuals with photos of 'Uganda as it was' and from their own histories to fill up this archive. The results of the photos they have received have stunned them and their Facebook followers, many of whom were unaware of the scale to which Uganda has been visually recorded right from the 19th century. HIP is about that journey.
Startjournal writer David Tumusiime had an email exchange with Stultiens and Rumanzi about how HIP got started, what it wishes to achieve and where it is going.
David Tumusiime: What is HIP all about?
Stultiens: HIP is a digital archive of photographs in Ugandan collections and collections abroad that house material from Uganda. These collections can be private or institutional.
HIP is not only about collecting though, but more particularly about sharing the material we find, giving audiences (Ugandans as well as non-Ugandans) the opportunity to engage with it, and attach it to their experiences, knowledge, ignorance and stories.
Possibly the most famous 19th century photograph from Uganda. A portrait of Mwanga, made in 1893. It is taken from a book that is downloadable for free. The downloadlinks of the sources of material we find online is with the album the photo's are posted in.
DT: When was the idea of HIP hatched and what inspired it? Is there a difference between the original idea and what you are doing now?
Stultiens: HIP started August 2011, but is based on an interest in the representation of Ugandan identity and history in photographs which is older than this. This interest has resulted in other projects, such as 'Things That Matter', a photo exchange between Kyabahinga and Kreileroord, the Netherlands, 'Pose, Ugandan Images', about photostudio backdrops representing idealized worlds, and the above-mentioned 'The Kaddu Wasswa Archive', a collaboration with Kaddu Wasswa and Arthur C. Kisitu, based on the personal documentation of Kaddu Wasswa's life.
August 2011 I was talking about my long standing idea of establishing an accessible collection of collections with the Ugandan artist/designer Rumanzi Canon. He was interested in it, and we decided to just start low budget on Facebook, only investing our time, and see where this would lead us.
We hope to have a website up as soon as possible, in which it will be easier to search our growing collection. We hope to start developing exhibitions, or thematic presentations on request too. So far HIP is still very close to what I imagined it could be, it is just doing better, with lots of interest in it.
A scan from a lanternslide that is part of the collection of Gayaza High School. These are hand colored black and white slides that were originally mass produced for educational purposes. We are not sure of its date, but they probably go back to the earliest decades of the 20th century.
DT: For a curious photography lover who wishes to know what HIP is about, which of HIP's archives or photos would you advise them to begin with?
Stultiens: Do you want to see Uganda from a colonial perspective from the 1950's? Go to the Uganda Protectorate Public Relations albums. Interested in an earlier period? Check the Matson Photo Archive or the photographs from The Baganda at Home, a publication from 1908. Did you go to Gayaza High School? Then it might be interesting to you to see images from the early days of the school, or from the early 1970's, when the skirts were ultra short.
My advice is to follow your instinct. Once the website is up and its database gets filled it will be possible to search through various collections by keywords. We do encourage and would be very happy with comments on the photographs, especially if they contain new information connected to what the photograph shows.

DT: Has HIP added anything to your own photography and has it changed the way you work? What is the effect?
Rumanzi: Looking at photographs and attempting to find out what they say, what they want, what I want from them – other than telling me things that I want or do not want to know – has made me look at a photograph as an unambiguous infinite text. A text which places its reader in two split-time scenes; one in the photograph (that you are part of to perceive the photo) and the other at where you are reading/viewing the photograph.
I have ended up with a repressed knowledge that there is no such a thing as 'Photography' but images and aims in stories.
DT: How does HIP fall into the scheme of Uganda at 50? Was the timing deliberate or did it just happen coincide? What do you think these HIP photos will say about Uganda at 50?
Rumanzi: Photographs in the HIP collections have a lot to say about the idea of Uganda as a republic, as a geographic location, and as an economic administrative construct. However, it is a coincidence that HIP started up almost a year in advance of the date marking 50 years since the British felt comfortable enough to close physical office in Uganda.

DT: How long is HIP supposed to run?
Stultiens: Infinitely.
DT: Have there been any significant HIP findings in the photography field? Has the project evolved towards more than HIP was intended to be?
Stultiens: Personally, I make new findings everyday, when doing new posts. Seeing a photograph more than once makes me see different things on it. We are stumbling across interesting new material that has not yet been published. Since some of it is privacy sensitive, and we want to treat people with the utmost respect, I cannot say too much about it. But in due time, when everyone involved is at ease with what and how images can be shared, these will be published.
I believe HIP is evolving in an interesting way. My dreams keep growing as the reality develops, so it is hard to say really whether it is evolving to more than it intended to be. I just like the way it is developing.
However, so far it has been funded by me personally, and this needs to change as it gets more and more time consuming. We are currently looking for funding through sales of exclusive prints from the collection, where we share proceeds with the original owners of the photograph. But we would also welcome sponsors and before mentioned assignments for thematic exhibitions/photo editing.
An image from a collection of photographs taken by anthropologist May M. Edel in the 1930's around lake Bunyonyi, while she did a research into the local culture. This resulted in a book called 'the Chiga of Uganda. Edels daughter brought the photographs back to the region and donated them to Edirisa. They operate a museum in Kabale. We scanned the photographs from them and have been in touch since with Edel's daughter who is in the US.
DT: Why was Uganda your choice to implement HIP from? Is Uganda the only place where you are undertaking such a project? If not, where else are you at work?
Stultiens: I have been working on other projects in Uganda since 2007, spending as much – but never enough – time in Uganda as possible. I have also been working with archival material in places like the Netherlands, Canada, Germany and the US.
However, in Uganda there is another urgency to it. Photographic material has got lost due to numerous reasons. Lots because of the political turmoil, some due to climatical and economical challenges, and some maybe also – as a Senegalese friend once pointed out – because there is no tradition of physically documenting history in African cultures.
At the same time the world (i.e. the colonialists) have been documenting Uganda extensively, contextualizing what they encountered from a western perspective. I think we can learn a lot from re-evaluating photographs from collections in – as well as outside of – Uganda, and attach stories from various vantage points to them.
This photograph is part of the collection of the Library of Congress in Washington. They have the images of the Matson Photo Collection, a company who photographed mainly in Palestine, but also in East Africa. They sold these photographs and made lantern slides out of them. The photographs are in high resolution and free of copyright downloadable for anyone from the website of the library.
DT: Have you noted any impact of HIP on the Ugandan cultural scene/persons and what is it? Any future expected impact?
Stultiens: Well, we are getting quite a number of very positive feedback from people appreciating what we do. What exactly the impact is, is hard to say. Of course I hope that our impact can grow.
One thing is that we would love to start giving small assignments to contemporary Ugandan photographers, ask them to respond to the photographs and/or collections in our archive from their perspective, thus giving them creative freedom and authorship and connecting the past very explicitly to the present.
This photograph comes from the collection Andrea worked with before she started HIP. Together with the owner of the material, mr. Kaddu Wasswa, and his grandson Arthur C. Kisitu she made 'The Kaddu Wasswa Archive, a visual biography', a book and a traveling exhibition.
DT: Can anyone get involved in HIP? How do they participate?
Stultiens: So far HIP is Canon and me. Another friend of mine is trying to contact institutional collections for us. We especially welcome involvement through adding information to the photographs we publish. This can be done through showing photographs to elders and asking them for their stories for instance.
If someone has a collection or knows of one that should be shared, we invite them to contact us. We can then see whether we come to digitize the material, or whether there are other ways of doing this. Either we take pictures of any photographs on the spot, or if there are negatives, we borrow them to digitize the images in the Netherlands, returning them as quickly as possible as we think the material should stay with its owners. The owners also get digital files from us for their personal use.
We may develop to a bigger team, but for now it's a two person thing. With a growing support group though, which I am very pleased with.

DT: What would be the best way to 'save and conserve' Uganda and Ugandan photography/history?
Rumanzi: I would need to first get answers to: What is Uganda? Whose is it? Who gains from Uganda? Who needs to save and remember Uganda? How do I remember Uganda? From whose memory?
Can I get all these answers from old photographs published in HIP collections?
Who made the photographs? When and where did they make them? Why did they make the photographs? What does the photograph say? What did the person who made it want it to say? What do they say about Uganda now? What do they say about the probable Uganda? What would I like them to say despite what they say?
What is the difference between Uganda and Uganda in the photographs? Are the collected photographs of Uganda history from Uganda heritage?

Moses, find the photograph with comment by its owner here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=183995465009641&set=a.154826291259892.38919.154821697927018&type=3&theater
Moses says:
As that bass player was still plucking his (one?) string bass, the bring flew … no was flung away!
I wonder if he could tell, because the bridge can be seen falling and not yet on the floor.
They must have stopped then, since he's the only one giving rhythm in the shot.

The following is a quote from a study on Psalm 71 and verse 1 from The Treasury of David, by C. H. Spurgeon. The quote is by Musculus.
It is necessary, first, that we should be of those who place their hope in God, then it is necessary that this piety of our hearts should not be confined to ourselves only, but should be known to all those who come in contact with us, even our opponents and enemies; else it is not possible for us to dread this kind of confusion feared by the prophet, when nobody knows that our hope is placed in God. No artist suffers confusion, if he has never shared the good opinion of his fellow men. To no sick man can it be said, Physician, heal thyself, if his reputation for medical skill has never stood high. So of those, it cannot be said, They hoped in God, let him save them if he will have them, of whom it was never remarked that they placed any hope in God. This solicitude, therefore, belongs only to those whose hope is in the Lord: upon others it cannot fall. – Musculus.
Trust that endures and provides is only in the LORD.


Based on adaptive-impulsive control method, we investigate the synchronization and parameters identification of uncertain general complex dynamical networks, with non-delayed and delayed coupling. Several criteria are proposed for the uncertain general complex networks with nonidentical nodes, which guarantee that the uncertain node's parameters can be identified when the synchronization occurs. Finally, some numerical simulation results are given to validate the feasibility of the proposed methods.


Mit den Temperaturen geht es ja aktuell mal wieder auf und ab. Minusgrade in der einen Woche, milde Frühlingslüfte in der anderen. Um sich für beide Extreme outfittechnisch zu wappnen, habe ich mich mir diesen schulterfreien Strickpullover zugelegt. Das satte Feuerrot und das außergewöhnliche Material machen den Pullover zu etwas ganz Besonderes. Er ist von der holländischen sustainable brand Graciela Huam und wurde in Peru handgefertigt.Das Label zeichnet sich durch seine avantgardistischen Designs und exklusiven peruanischen Materialen wie Alpaka-Wolle oder Pima-Baumwolle aus. Graciela setzt sich vor allem für faire Arbeitsbedingungen in Peru ein und eine schonende und nachhaltige Gewinnung der Textilien ein.
Die Marke ist ein Vorzeigebeispiel für die Verknüpfung von nachhaltigen Produktionsprozessen und modernem Design. Definitiv eine zukunftsweisende Marken-Philosophie. Schaut euch unbedingt ihre Website an und die neue SS18 Kollektion.
Dazu habe ich einen längeren dunkelrot/violetten (je nach Lichteinfall ;)) Midirock kombiniert, der den Look noch zusätzlich romantisiert.
Wie wichtig ist euch nachhaltige Herstellung bei der Kleidung die ihr kauft?
The temperatures are up and down again. Below zero temperatures one week, mild spring vibes the next. In order to prepare for both extremes, I got myself this off shoulder knit sweater. The flame color and the extraordinary material make the pullover very special. It is from the Dutch sustainable brand Graciela Huam and was handcrafted in Peru. The label is characterized by its avant-garde designs and exclusive peruvian materials such as alpaca wool or pima cotton. Graciela is particularly committed to fair working conditions in Peru and a gentle and sustainable extraction of textiles.
The brand is a role model example of the combination of sustainable production processes and modern design. Definitely a forward-thinking brand philosophy. Be sure to check out their website and the new SS18 collection.
To this ajoursweater I combined a longer dark red / purple (depending on the light;)) midirock, which adds a little extra romantic touch.
How important is sustainable manufacturing to you?
To me, substantible manufacturing meaning that the fabric is crafted to insure that the clothing holds up for a long period of time even years.It is able to endure certain temperatures too. BTW I really like your off the shoulder Graciela Huam sweater.
dear Nina, thanks a lot for the compliment. You're absolutely right, especially when spending more money on a piece of clothing it should actually have a better quality and shouldn't be produced in the same factory, with the same low quality fabric and under the same bad labor conditions as primark pieces for example.


This year we have seen the retirement of Pam Hamilton-Smith from club coaching, and from the role Head Coach of our Girls Programs. Robert Wood is well known at Lang Park as our Head boys coach.
Robert will now head both our Girls and our Boys programs. We are looking forward to the great programs and coaching that we know will continue at Lang Park for our young players both Girls and Boys.

Plasma-facing components within fusion reactors will be exposed to massive particle and thermal loads, which will pose serious material challenges. The plasma-facing component of interest in this project is the divertor, a device that allows for the online removal of the helium reaction product from the deuterium – tritium plasma. The ITER divertor will be constructed from tungsten, which is also a prime candidate for use in future demonstration fusion reactors, because of its superior mechanical properties and low tritium retention. However, recent computational modeling predictions and experimental observations indicate that helium bubbles rapidly form in helium plasma exposed tungsten, and that these bubbles can strongly trap hydrogen. This observation raises concerns about the possibility of larger than expected tritium retention, as well as how these bubbles may degrade the thermo-mechanical properties of the tungsten divertor, and possibly increase rate of tungsten erosion. We report on the use of molecular dynamics simulations to quantify the hydrogen behavior near sub-surface defects and bubbles in tungsten. In this study, we have simulated the dynamic evolution of tungsten containing either voids or helium bubbles to study how the hydrogen diffuses in the vicinity of these defects at 1200 degrees Kelvin. The simulation results will provide insight into the possibility of increased tritium retention within tungsten due to these defects, as well as the possibility that the tritium can be removed through isotope exchange with deuterium. As such, this work will further the understanding of the retention of radioactive tritium within tungsten to estimate the lifetime and possibly reduce gas-driven damage of the divertor in the ITER.


I was fortunate enough to have a career as a professional ballerina before falling in love with East Africa. Professional ballerinas, like athletes, have an in-season and off-season and in 2007 I was itching to use the off season for something purposeful and productive, so I set my sights on exploring what intrigued me about Africa. My co-workers and I choreographed two live in-studio performances to raise money for airfare, expenses and as a way to help support the needs of those I was about to meet.
I spent nine weeks living with my host parents, Mary and Peter, in the slum of Ongata-Rongai. Every day I would walk to one of the two day schools that Mary had founded for the vulnerable children in her community. As I assisted the teachers, poured porridge, washed dishes and played in the dirt, I learned stories of the children I was falling in love with.
As my new friends did not choose to be born in East Africa, I did not choose my life in the US. Things that seemed commonplace to me, my car, family vacations and coffee dates at Starbucks, would be extravagant in the eyes of my new friends. Instead of wallowing in guilt I chose action. I chose responsibility. During my stay at Mary and Peter's I learned that many of my new friends did not have access to clean drinking water and I set my heart on helping to dig a well.
While the first borehole was completed in 2009, a team was gathering in Philadelphia, a group of friends and colleagues that helped me put together a vision for our work. We arrived at a holistic three part approach that addressed poverty on multiple fronts: providing basic needs, education through sponsorship and income generating activities to cultivate sustainable lives.
Authentic, transparent relationships are at the crux of how we work, and the work is to be done through conversation and partnership with the trusted leaders of our communities. They lead our conversations and they know how to best bring sustainable life change into their communities. Conversation changes everything.
From the start, our fundraising roots were built on everyday people giving extravagantly of what they have: art, time, talent, ideas, sweat, money and more. The Western world is consumed with materialism, greed, speed, and the conquest of more, yet there is so much sadness, depression, and emptiness.
Many of my East African friends, however, are content–truly content– with so little. I've seen joy on the face of an old man who never believed he would see clean water burst forth from the ground he walked on all his days. And I've seen joy on a dancer's face who was fulfilled by giving generously of her gifts and talents for the good of someone else. They are the same glorious look and this is the unity I love.

A day after America witnessed its worst day in coronavirus-related deaths, Jimmy Carter joined three other living former presidents Thursday in encouraging Americans to get a COVID-19 vaccination shot as soon as it becomes available.
In a statement, Carter said that he and his wife, Rosalynn, "are in full support of COVID-19 vaccine efforts and encourage everyone who is eligible to get immunized as soon as it becomes available in their communities."
Carter's office didn't confirm whether he planned to get the vaccine. Carter is 96 years old.
Rosalynn Carter, who is 93, was a staunch advocate for vaccines as Georgia's First Lady and subsequently co-founded Vaccinate Your Family in 1991 to ensure equitable access to immunizations.
Earlier Thursday, former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all agreed to get vaccinated ― in front of television cameras if they had to ― to instill confidence in Americans who have watched more than 270,000 people in the country die from the coronavirus.

On Wednesday, more than 2,770 Americans died of COVID-19, a grim record. But in a November Gallup poll, 42% of Americans said they didn't plan to receive a coronavirus vaccine.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the nation's top infectious disease expert, also said that he would be willing to be vaccinated on camera.

Earlier this week, Centers for Disease Control vaccine advisers voted 13-1 to recommend that health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities be first in line for any coronavirus vaccines that get emergency authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Everything above the roof ridge of this 1959 ranch-style residence in Spring Branch Woods forms a massive, single room across the back of the home. Listed last weekend at $443,000, the biggest-on-its-block property is located in Spring Branch Woods, just west of Bunker Hill Rd. The tree-lined stretch of Westview Dr. street has mostly smaller, 1-story suburban homes from the mid-fifties, including one across the street with the proverbial white picket fence.
I abhor the current practice of realtors using fisheye lenses to capture images. It completely distorts the sense of size and scale of each and every room. This set of images is possibly the worst offender that I've seen.
The Great Room looks like a Holidome. I expected to see lots of excited kids on their way to pee in the pool.
That toilet in the master bath would make an interesting (and difficult) target, don't you think?
I looked at a home recently which had a raised roof like this. The engineering was not done correctly and vertical paneling in a first-floor room clearly showed that the house had been bent by the extra load.
The extensive mold throughout wasn't helping either.
Does anyone see them getting anywhere close to this dollar amount for this house? It fronts a major thoroughfare, is zoned to the wrong spring branch schools and the remodel is "ok" at best. 350k if it doesn't stagnate on the market, 300k if it does.
Enough with the yellow rooms.I like yellow: in ONE room. What is with home owners painting too many rooms fricking yellow? And the 1980's want the added on room back,especially the saltillo tile floors.PaulP: I agree 100% with your comment re: the fish eye lens photos. They purposely distort the rooms dimensions to make them appear larger/longer/bigger than they really are. It pleases the home owner who is talked into doing it by the realtor,who only cares about getting the sale.And if they say otherwise,remember: they're sales people and work on commission.Nothing wrong with that,it's just the b.s. psychology they use to yank the home owner around. The other photo trickery I despise is too much Photoshop,especially over tinting the exterior shots(examples: too pink sunsets,weirdly acid green lawns /pools that are too blue,etc. Realtors: lay off the fricking Photoshop. It looks fake & crappy and buyers KNOW it and are turned off. They think: if the photos are doctored what else is doctored in/on the house? And viola: you have lost a potential sale!! And lest you think I don't like salespeople: my grandfather was a VERY successful salesman and I used to be in sales.
I liked the kitchen renovation, and also the great room which has so much light.
Price dropped to $399k in November, then removed and relisted in February… Pending Continue to Show, today.

Stop Flintshire Scout Groups paying Business Rates Charges
This petition made change with 10,479 supporters!
Flintshire Scouts started this petition to hilary.mcguill (Flintshire County Council) and
Flintshire County Council has removed the 20% discretionary funding relief for business rates for all Flintshire Scout Groups. This has left groups with annual rates bills of upwards of £300 per group.
Scout groups are not businesses. The Scout Association and Scout groups are registered as charitable organisations and are entirely run by local volunteers who give up their time and put energy into providing the adventure of Scouting to young people across Flintshire.
This petition is to express deep concern at Flintshire County Council decision to charge business rates against the Scout groups in Flintshire and to ask them to reconsider that decision.
The Scout Association is a not for profit organisation that is a key volunteer organisation providing essential skills and opportunities for the young people of the local area, including very likely someone you know, past, present and future.
We have been informed that the decision has been taken due to them withdrawing funding relief for charitable sector organisations from 2017 onwards in order to save the council money.
It is a decision taken by Flintshire County Council in 2017 to charge business rates on the Scout groups in Flintshire even though their own publications on the matter state that they would ordinarily not do so as the Scout Groups meet the criteria for 100% discretionary rate relief.
Section 47 of the LGFA 1988 permits the billing authority to grant discretionary rate relief. This was amended by the Localism Act 2011 section 69 from 1 April 2012, which removed the previous restrictions of discretionary relief to only apply to charities and other organisations of prescribed types. The billing authority may make a decision to grant relief, if it is satisfied that it would be reasonable to do so, having regard to the interests of the council taxpayers.
If you believe that supporting Scouting UK as an organisation is in the interest of council taxpayers and the local community, please support this petition to request that the council reverses its decision to remove the rate relief on the business rates charges against the Scout groups in Flintshire.
Scouting in the UK:
The Scout Association is a non-profit making body, and;
Scout Groups are wholly for charitable, philanthropic and religious purposes, and concerned with education, social welfare, and the development of young people; and the Scout Groups property is used wholly for these purposes by each Scout Group.
Furthermore, the Scout Groups always exercise due diligence in ensuring their premises have no negative impact on the local community.
The Scout Association and the Scout groups in Flintshire in particular contributes to our local community:-
"Scouting is fun with a purpose, directed towards helping boys and girls become happy, healthy, useful citizens. Scouting is all about building confidence and self-esteem, learning important life skills and leadership skills, team building, outdoor adventure, education, and fun! Scouts learn how to make good choices and to take responsibility for their actions so that they are prepared for their adult life as independent people.
The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.
Scouting changes lives by offering 6 to 25-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a positive impact in communities.
Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world."
If you think that Flintshire County Council should not be taxing a volunteer organisation, the Scout Association at all.
If you feel that it is just unacceptable and does not reflect the views of the community.
If you feel that it does not reflect well of Flintshire County Council.
If you feel that It is not in the best interests of the community and is not what I want your council to do, regardless of the current financial pressure.
Please sign the petition.
Please help us to get Flintshire County Council to consider reversing the decision to charge business rates against Scouting in Flintshire.

"Think of a vacant lot in a poor dilapidated urban neighborhood. The lot has rubble from the building that formerly stood there, as well as trash, maybe needles and crack vials and other evidence of illegal activities. Nothing grows on the lot and parents don't want their children playing on the lot. It makes the whole neighborhood look bad, and feel bad about itself.
Then think about the people of that neighborhood coming out one day to clean up that lot, pick up the trash and (carefully) the needles. They work with their city officials to bring in new topsoil and compost. They dedicate most of the lot for garden plots and start growing herbs, vegetables, and many flowers. They leave some common areas and set up picnic and domino tables. Elders that know how to garden from their experiences growing up on farms in the Southern US, Cambodia, Russia, and Puerto Rico (to name just a few places) share seeds and teach each other and young children from the neighborhood.
Think about the many impacts this garden has in this neighborhood - community pride, health, property values, environment, social cohesion, learning, and culture and more.
Community gardens are just one example of what we can do by taking new approaches to how we grow and share food. There are a multitude of others, from the small neighborhood community garden to large-scale "food hub" commercial ventures.
Food has great power. Its production , distribution, and consumption expresses who we are as people and as community. When we grow and eat unhealthy food, and when some people go hungry, we are unhealthy and our communities are unhealthy. When we can grow and share delicious, clean, high-quality food, then we flourish across multiple dimensions."

Why Does Roger Scott Feel 2023 Will Be The Best Year For New Traders To Get Started?
Posted on January 17, 2023 January 17, 2023 by Prime
The Forex industry is well on its way to reviving itself after the pandemic and 2023 could be a great time to get started as a trader. The markets are expected to have settled down by then and offer excellent opportunities for new traders to learn the ropes. Due to the global economic slowdown and uncertainty, investors have been more hesitant in investing in Forex and other trading markets. However, experts believe that when things settle down, there will be a huge influx of money into these markets and 2023 could be an ideal time for new traders to get started and when there's volatility there are profits to be made.
New traders will have the opportunity to make money if they can correctly forecast the direction of the market. More consumers are also expected to take up trading in foreign exchange currencies because stocks and other investment options aren't showing any gains."
The Forex industry is well on its way to reviving itself after the pandemic and 2023 could be a great time to get started as a trader.
As a trader, it's important to understand that the Forex industry is still recovering from the pandemic. The pandemic slowed down growth in many industries and this has impacted the Forex industry as well. However, if you are a good trader with access to good information sources and a strong understanding of how to manage your risk, then 2023 will be a great time for you to get started trading currencies.
There are plenty of opportunities out there today but we believe that 2023 will present more opportunities than ever before because of all the new traders who have just started learning about currency trading, said Roger Scott.
However, Roger Scott believes when things settle down, there will be a huge influx of money into these markets and 2023 could be an ideal time for new traders to get started.
Experts believe that when things settle down, there will be a huge influx of money into these markets and 2023 could be an ideal time for new traders to get started.
There is already speculation that the market will have settled by then and if this happens, there should be plenty of opportunities for new traders to make good money if they can correctly forecast the direction of the market.
Opportunities For New Traders To Make Money
New traders can make money by correctly forecasting the direction of the market. This is an opportunity that isn't available in other types of investments, such as stocks and mutual funds.
The number of consumers who take up foreign exchange currency trading is expected to increase because these instruments are showing gains while stocks and other investment options aren't giving any results.
For example, if you were able to invest $10,000 in the stock market back in 2017 when it was at its peak value and then sell it today (October 2019), your initial investment would have only grown by around $5k-$6k over a period of about two years! But with forex trading, you could have made more than 3 times that amount in just one year if you had been able to time it right.
The new traders will have the opportunity to make strong profits if they can correctly forecast the direction of the market.
Forecasting the direction of the market is a challenge that can be overcome with experience. It is easier to forecast the direction of the market if you have some experience in stock trading or forex trading. You will find that there are several online platforms that allow you to start trading with as little as $100-$200 which makes it ideal for new traders with limited budget.
However, starting out as a new trader might not be easy but it can be rewarding if you take your time learning how to trade and investing wisely at first before taking on more riskier investments such as margin trading and options.
More consumers are also expected to take up trading in foreign exchange currencies because stocks and other investment options aren't showing any gains.
Forex trading is the buying and selling of different currencies between countries. Since it's highly regulated by government agencies, it's less prone to manipulation than other forms of investing like stocks or commodities–and that makes it a good option for new traders who want a safer investment with more potential returns.
2023 could be an excellent year for new traders to get started with Forex trading and make money from it.
2023 is expected to be an excellent year for new traders to get started with Forex trading and make money from it. That is because the market is expected to be volatile, which will make it more exciting for new traders.
In addition, 2023 could be an excellent year for new traders to get started with Forex trading and make money from it. That is because the market is expected to have a lot of volatility and that will make it more exciting for new traders.
All in all, it is a great year for anyone looking to get started as a trader. There are many online platforms where you can start trading with as little as $100-$200 which makes it ideal for new traders with limited budget. The next few years will see a huge influx of money into these markets and 2023 could be an ideal time for new traders to get started.

ABOUT HIM:
Chris Stockley was born January 24th 1948 in Winchester, Hampshire England. Music became a feature of his life from a young age when at about the age of 9 he heard a recording of Elvis singing Lawdy Miss Clawdy and in Chris' own words, "It changed my world".
It wasn't long after that he discovered the music of artists such as Little Richard and Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, all before he was a teenager. It wasn't that long after that the British music scene exploded with the likes of the Stones, The Beatles and The Who, and as he was absorbing it all and delighting in it, his parents decided to migrate to Australia in 1964 - and he found himself uprooted and arrived in Australia around February 1964.
He discovered that the music scene in Melbourne had not advanced past the likes of The Shadows and he desperately missed the music he had been exposed to and could not believe that people he met had never heard of the Blues.
However, a meeting at his first job with a young man, John Pugh turned out to be a major turning point as Chris introduced John to blues music and John introduced Chris to Bob Dylan. Chris and John formed a duo but quickly formed a band called the Roadrunners with Bob Lloyd [then known as Tregilgas] on drums and Chris Kinman on bass, John on harmonica and vocals, and Chris on guitar.
That group eventually mutated into a pure electric blues band called The Delta Set but like many bands of the time, were a blues cover band but it was where his ability to play with great skill a wide range of styles from delta blues through to chicago blues, from the rock style of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley into the Motown and general R&B styles of music, meant that he and his groups were able to attract a wide range of audiences. It was in both the Roadrunners and the Delta Set that he played every major venue in and around Melbourne during the 1960's, and were particularly popular at Melbourne's on Blues club - Chicago.
In 1967 Chris along with what were both his friends and fellow musicians, was part of the formation of his first really popular group, Cam-pact (Originally titled Camp-act but their recording label decided that this name was too controversial at the time and rearranged the letters of the bands name).
Cam-pact consisted of Chris on guitar, Mark Barnes (ex-Moppa Blues) on bass, Keith Glass (ex-Rising Sons and 18th century Quartet) on guitar and vocals, John Pugh on guitar, vocals and autoharp and Bob Lloyd on drums.
Cam-pact recorded several singles and extended plays but the group reached its limits and Chris moved on.
From here he was invited to join what was truly one of Australia's most popular groups of the time, a group often described as a supergroup' - Axiom. which featured Glenn Shorrock and Brian Cadd. This was Chris' first experience of being in a group where writing original material was demanded and he found it a challenge. Three big singles and an album later, the group went to the UK where it failed to hit the heights it was seeking and folded.
Chris returned to Australia and was in several groups including Winchester. In 1973 he was part of the formation of the mighty Dingoes.
The Dingoes were the creation of Broderick Smith (ex-Carson), vocals and harmonica and Kerryn Tolhurst (ex Sundown and Country Radio) guitar and mandolin and they sought Chris out to be the groups other guitarist who along with John Bois (ex Country Radio) on bass and John Lee (an English drummer) on drums made what was to become an iconic group that is spoken about with great enthusiasm by fans some forty plus years later.
Over the years Chris has been in some very well known groups such as Tinsley Waterhouse and Stockley, See & Mason.
Chris continues to play and has his own group, BRAM. In 2015 recorded and released his only solo album consisting of all original material called Pale New Sun.

There are two pure virtual functions in the class IFVRHeadsetResearch. I want to know how to use the pure virtual functions to capture some pictures of eyes and which derived class achieves those pure virtual functions.
You can `static_cast` the IFVRHeadset pointer returned by GetFVRHeadset() to the IFVRHeadsetResearch type, then invoke the functions at will.
The struct returned contains a pointer to BGR data in bitmap format (including a 54 byte header). Note that the size in the header can (but may not be) be negative to distinguish a top-down vs bottom-up bitmap image.
That said, you're using the 0.13.0 version of these headers which have some problems. We recently released 0.14.0 Runtime/SDK, but the research headers are not included by default. I will post those headers and an example as soon as possible and update this thread when they're up.
Research headers should always be run against the same version of the runtime (backcompat is not provided). So run it against 0.14.X from our website.
Per my above response, you can static_cast, and use the IFVRHeadsetResearch object. Make sure to register for the given research capability (eg. eye image) before using the image functions.
Thank you. Your comments did help me a lot. But I still have no idea how to use the SFVR_BitmapImage. Could I just write it in a binary file directly and save it as BMP file? Hope you can post an example.
Yep, the image data returned in SFVR_BitmapData, since it contains the standard bitmap header, is totally valid to just write to a .BMP file.
Thanks Sidney for posting your code!
Actually, I used screenshot instead. But I tried your code and it perfectly solved the problem. It's great.
