The 'kitemark' is a visual symbol of resident involvement with our internal and external publications, so our customers, staff and other stakeholders can easily see where residents have been involved, and where we have taken comments on board.
How can the kitemark be achieved?
There are three levels of involvement.
The first level is where the Readers' Panel or another resident group has reviewed a publication to check the design, layout and how easy it is to understand.
The kitemark will display one tick to show this first level of involvement.
The next level is where residents have been consulted about policies, procedures or services to give their opinions. For example, the Residents Forum are sometimes consulted before policy documents are finalised.
The kitemark will display two ticks for this second level of involvement.
The top level is about resident involvement in decision making. Residents who sit on the Residents' Services Committee or the Board take an active role in decision making about policies, procedures and services.
The kitemark will display three ticks for this third level of involvement.
These different levels of involvement are not dependent on each other and can be achieved separately.
We want Newlon to aspire to getting kitemarks on all our publications.

Suraiya Faroqhi: The Ottoman Empire and the World Around It; Handan Nezir Akmeşe: The Birth of Modern Turkey: The Ottoman Military and the March to World War I
The Ottoman Empire and its successor, modern Turkey, have time and again played an important role in European politics, and yet there are vanishingly few sources in English to bring us the viewpoint of the Turks themselves, or, indeed, to focus on the Anatolian peninsula as other than an adjunct to the doings of European states. Addressing that lack is one of the aims of two recent histories.
Suraiya Faroqhi's The Ottoman Empire and the World Around It is, in its author's own words, a work of synthesis: an attempt to bring together a variety of sources in order to give a picture of the state of the Empire from the time it achieved stability as a political entity until it ceased to be an effective presence in the European theater. A reader without some grounding in the period — from roughly the mid-sixteenth through the late eighteenth centuries — particularly the history of the Middle East or that of Eastern Europe, is going to be lost.
Part of this is the paucity of sources: judging from Faroqhi's comments, the Ottoman archives, what of them still remain, are fragmentary and quite often do not contain documents with any real information. For example, the pronouncements of the Sultan, his official missives, operate on the assumption that there was no higher authority and that anyone he communicated with must necessarily be a dependent. The communications of the viziers, on the other hand, often contained the real meat of any discussions, but, alas, they are for the most part no longer extant.
Another area that will present difficulties for the nonspecialist is simply the range of phenomena that Faroqhi draws into the discussion. It goes without saying that, to the contemporary historian (or anyone who pays attention to the news, for that matter), economics plays as large a role in world affairs as do politics or military strength or any other aspect of what we are pleased to call "society." Nevertheless, linking all the strands that combine to make up "history" can be a daunting task if one is to maintain intelligibility. Faroqhi's focus is necessarily broad, in terms of the operative factors in Ottoman politics, both internal and external, the latter in relation to a rapidly changing Europe on the one hand and a sometimes hostile and often restive Islamic world on the other.
Consequently, while there is a wealth of fascinating detail in Faroqhi's account, one is hard put to find a structure, leading to a confusing and sometimes chaotic picture of developments in the Empire over the course of several centuries. Her seeming reluctance to establish a basic timeline that gives us the political events and nails down, for example, the increasing autonomy of Egypt and the rest of North Africa in relation to Ottoman relations with the Islamic world outside of the Empire, while it does provide the flexibility to range across several areas of activity, gives the reader no point of reference for establishing a sensible pattern. Although it seems that the focus on European relations is a necessary one, given that the Ottoman Empire was the dominant interface between Europe and the Islamic world for several centuries, it would also have been helpful if Faroqhi had found some means to expand on events to the east.
Handan Nezir Akmeşe's The Birth of Modern Turkey, on the other hand, is, as one might expect from a book that began its existence as a doctoral dissertation, a tightly focused on the role of the Ottoman military in the formation of the modern Turkish state.
Contrary to what we generally think of as the conservative nature of military establishments, the military in the Ottoman Empire of the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries played a significant role in the modernization of Turkey and the dissemination of ideas about the ethnic basis of nationhood current in Europe during the period. It is from the German-trained officer corps that Turkey found her future political leaders, including Kemal Ataturk, and it was in their training under German officers that these men first came in contact with many of the ideas that led to the revolutionary movements in Turkey that eventually established a specifically Turkish secular Muslim state.
While Akmeşe's book is insightful and often illuminating, the cut-off before World War I, while it does provide an appropriate end point from a scholarly point of view, leaves the general reader with a feeling of incompleteness: we've seen where the impulses came from and how they developed, but this reader, at least, would have felt more rewarded with a text that followed developments through to their conclusion in the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.
Together, these two books provide a picture of the history of Turkey from near the end of Ottoman expansion in the sixteenth century to the eve of the Empire's dissolution in the early twentieth. It is a sometime fragmentary picture, but the emphasis on native sources and an Ottoman point of view is welcome. One can only hope that one of these authors, or perhaps both, will see fit to expand and clarify their work and bring us the overall history of the Ottomans that we need.

Astronomers trace otherworldly cosmic blasts to a galaxy 7.9 billion light-years away
03/08/2020 / By Franz Walker
Astronomers have long been puzzled by the occasional arrival of intense radio bursts coming from space. Now, a team from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) at Pasadena have traced the origin of one of these bursts to a big galaxy 7.9 billion light-years away from Earth.
Called Fast Radio Bursts (FRB), these get their name from the short duration of each signal, usually lasting only milliseconds. The short duration of these FRBs, combined with the fact that they almost never recur, has made it difficult to pinpoint their sources. Indeed, out of 85 total detected FRBs, this recent one is only the third to have its source identified.
More importantly, this most recent FRB, dubbed FRB 190523, is only the second one-off, non-recurring burst to be pinpointed. The first such instance happened only a week before, when an Australian-led team tracked FRB 180924's source to a galaxy 3.6 billion light-years away from Earth.
"Finding the locations of the one-off FRBs is challenging because it requires a radio telescope that can both discover these extremely short events and locate them with the resolving power of a mile-wide radio dish," stated Vikram Ravi, lead author of the study and assistant professor of astronomy at Caltech.
Building a big enough radio telescope
To be able to detect, let alone trace, the source of an FRB requires a large radio telescope, or multiple radio telescopes acting as one. To do this, Ravi and his team built a new array of radio telescopes at Caltech's Owens valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) east of the Sierra Nevada mountains. OVRO-10, as the new array is called, consists of 10 dishes, each with a 4.5-meter diameter.
When put together, the whole OVRO-10 array acts as a single mile-wide dish. This is thanks to a powerful digital system that collects and processes an amount of data equivalent to a DVD every second. In practice, this allows OVRO-10 to cover an area on the sky the size of 140 full moons.
OVRO-10 detected FRB 190523 on May 23, 2019. Ravi and his team then detected the burst to its host galaxy using this data, as well as data from the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. (Related: Astronomers discover and decode strange signals from a 3-body star system.)
Finding the source of FRBs
More than just pinpointing the origin of one FRB, the localization done by Ravi's team, alongside the prior one by the Australian team, can help solve the mystery of what causes FRBs in the first place. Both demonstrate FRBs coming from big galaxies, which seems to disprove a long-held theory about where they came from.
Prior to the localization, scientists theorized that FRBs came from Magnetars — a supermagnetic kind of neutron stars. This theory came from the fact that the first FRB to be traced, FRB 121102, came from a young galaxy with an active star-forming environment where young magnetars can be formed inside supernovae.
Both FRB 190523 and the Australian team's FRB 180924 come from older, bigger galaxies that are much more mellow. This means they most likely did not originate in magnetars.
To figure out where exactly these FRBs come from, more data will be needed. This may be coming soon – OVRO-10 itself is a pathfinder for a larger system called the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA). This system will consist of 110 dishes and is expected to come online in 2021. The hope is that the DSA will be able to find FRBs at a much faster rate than current arrays.
"With the full Deep Synoptic Array, we are going to find and localize FRBs every few days," stated OVRO director Gregg Hallinan who co-authored the study with Ravi. "This is an exciting time for FRB discoveries."

Obviously, both the dentist and the Oral Surgeon In Fall River both deal with problems found inside or close to the mouths of their patients; however, the surgeon might not have attended dental school.
Would be dentists must have successfully completed at least three years of undergraduate education; following which they may apply to take the admission test to enter a dental school (sometimes; there is also an interview stage). Most dental schools expect applicants to have at least a bachelor's degree and have studied physics, English, chemistry, organic chemistry, general biology, and higher level mathematics (e.g. statistics or calculus). Some of the schools ask for additional prior study in subjects like anatomy, biochemistry, psychology, physiology or sociology, etc.
To graduate from dental school usually takes 4 years (2 years coursework and 2 years clinical training). However, prior to graduation all students have to pass the National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II (Part 1 is usually taken after 2 years in dental school and Part 2 will normally be taken during the last year). Dentists graduate either as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Dental Medicine (DMD) the name of their degree depends upon which dental school they attended (note – The American Dental Association specifies that DDS and DMD are equivalent).
Once they have done all the above, dentists must pass a licensing examination; usually for the region where they intend to practice; but, sometimes, this can be administered by an individual state. Then, they are ready to be working dentists.
But, Maybe You Go Back To School Instead?
In the US, we have about 9 recognised dental specialities that require additional college time, training or internee-ship leading to a Masters Degree; one of these is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. This course normally takes 4–6 years to complete.
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon treats diseases, injuries and defects in the maxillofacial region of the human head (jaws and face); as well as the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity (mouth). A graduating medical doctor could choose this field just as well as a graduating dentist and go on to become an Oral Surgeon In Fall River MA.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to need to replace the rear tires on the C6Z sometime soon, and from what I understand, not every tire shop can handle those wide tires/wheels.
I bought a used Suburban from a private owner that appeared to have been well kept about 15-twenty years ago. Had all service records. It had a vibration and it needed tires so I bought a set from brand x. The vibration was still there so I took it back and had them rebalanced. STILL there. I made an appointment with MR. Sirmon (Rick's dad) and he checked the balance. He took the Suburban for a test drive and brought it back, jacked up the left rear, pulled the tire off and got in, put it in drive (Chocked the front tires) and ran it up to about 55-60 mph. We could see the axle shaking like crazy! He pulled the brake drum off. It looked fairly new, not very much rust on it and no discernable wear. It was stamped, "made in china". He said, "There's your problem". I went home and looked at the service records and sure enough, they had a brake job done on it and the shop that did it had replaced the drum.


There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the great �unsung� requiems in the �liturgical� literature. Well, �liturgical� may be a misnomer, but I will explain later. I was reminded of the first time I heard the great Stanford Requiem and how I could hardly believe my ears. How has something as good as this lain unheard for so many years? The same goes for Wetz�s Requiem. It was, apparently last heard at a concert in 1943 � in the middle of Germany in the middle of a World War!
A brief note about the composer: Richard Wetz was born in 1875 in Gleiwitz in Upper Silesia. He studied at the Leipzig Conservatory before taking up a post in a theatre in Strasund on the recommendation of Felix Weingartner. Not long after this he was introduced to the music of Bruckner at a concert in Leipzig. This was to be a major influence on his stylistic maturity.
The rest of his life was spent in the town of Erfurt where he �multi-tasked� as a teacher, conductor and composer. In 1906 he was appointed as Director of the Erfurt Music Society. He died on 16 January 1935 in his adopted hometown.
CPO has performed a sterling service in recording the superb symphonies and the Violin Concerto in B minor. There is also an overture and song cycle in the catalogue. However Wetz�s magnum opus appears to be the present Requiem.
There are three critical things to note about this Requiem � firstly it is not liturgical, secondly it is perhaps more of a choral symphony and finally it is an inspired and perhaps even visionary work.
There is no way that this Requiem could be used at a service of remembrance for the dead. For one thing the Vatican Fathers in their infinite wisdom deleted the Dies Irae from the order of service. Like Anglican liturgical scholars they had a tendency to ignore the great and exalt the pedestrian! Further, Wetz omits bits and pieces of the text. And finally one would feel sorry for a bereaved family having to sit through an hours worth of music � no matter how glorious! ... and that on top of the hymns and homily.
Wetz was primarily a symphonist � and for that we can be grateful. When he turned his attention to the liturgy he did not put his formal preferences on one side. Seen in the context of symphonic form this Requiem is almost Mahlerian in its stature. Five great �movements� lead us towards a satisfying and spiritually uplifting peroration. There seems to be cross-referencing of themes � although without the score it is hard to see just how cyclic the work actually is. The composer makes a great use of orchestral interludes � sometimes lasting for minutes with the soloists and chorus sitting quietly as the orchestra reflects on past and future texts.
Finally the listener can hardly fail to sense the degree of autobiography in this music. We do not know much about Richard Wetz�s private life � but every page of this score seems to breathe personal experience and reflection. It was composed after the First World War, in the 1920s, at a time when the memory of the horrors of that conflict were still fresh. Germany was sliding into economic chaos and the first stirrings of a new evil were on the horizon.
Could this work be classified as a War Requiem? Possibly, but perhaps it is more a vehicle for Wetz exploring the depths of his soul. The music is certainly marked with �scars of grief,� but, more vitally, there is a great hope here too.
The performance is excellent � although I feel that the soprano soloist could have been a bit stronger. The recording is up to the usual superb CPO standards. However the programme notes have suffered somewhat in translation from the German � they become quite stodgy, or is it impenetrable, to read!
In summary, this is a fine and most moving work that deserves to be heard much more often. It is definitely a �concert� work as opposed to a liturgical one. I can imagine it being performed to great effect in Coventry Cathedral. I do hope one of the great orchestras and choruses takes up this work before too long.

Did Karl Marx Secretly Love Capitalism?
Did Karl Marx, the father of communism, hate capitalism? Why, of course he did. At least, you would certainly think he did. But in a thought-provoking essay, Terry Eagleton, a visiting professor at Lancaster University, in England; the National University of Ireland; and the University of Notre Dame, explains that Marx's view of capitalism was more nuanced than simple hatred. He writes:
This is not to suggest for a moment that Marx considered capitalism as simply a Bad Thing, like admiring Sarah Palin or blowing tobacco smoke in your children's faces. On the contrary, he was extravagant in his praise for the class that created it, a fact that both his critics and his disciples have conveniently suppressed. No other social system in history, he wrote, had proved so revolutionary. In a mere handful of centuries, the capitalist middle classes had erased almost every trace of their feudal foes from the face of the earth. They had piled up cultural and material treasures, invented human rights, emancipated slaves, toppled autocrats, dismantled empires, fought and died for human freedom, and laid the basis for a truly global civilization. No document lavishes such florid compliments on this mighty historical achievement as The Communist Manifesto, not even The Wall Street Journal.
In another amusing section of the essay, Eagleton explains that Marx's goal giving the masses the same option of leisure that the rich have. Socialists detest work, he writes.

New addiction recovery centre in Dartmouth aims to offer barrier-free support
A new addiction recovery centre that opened Tuesday in Dartmouth, N.S., isn't a typical clinic, but rather an "access point" for people seeking help, says the doctor leading Nova Scotia's addictions and mental health program. It's all in an effort to ensure the services and programs at the centre are as welcoming and barrier-free as possible, said Dr. David Martell.

Alberta announces investigator, terms for inquiry into suspended justice minister
Alberta's premier's office has designated an investigator and set out terms of reference for their investigation into whether the justice minister's phone call to Edmonton's police chief about a personal traffic ticket constituted interference.

The inquiry comes after Madu phoned Chief Dale McFee last March to discuss the circumstances of a traff
English testing blocking nurses from coming to P.E.I., says newcomers group
A group that helps French-speaking newcomers get settled on the Island says English-language testing is blocking qualified, highly educated nurses from coming to work on the Island.

A court ruling tossing out a lawsuit against public-sector pension reforms in 2014 could spell the end of the seven-year fight over the changes. Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare ruled last week that the legal action could not go forward because both the person suing the province and the basis for their case had changed. The lawsuit was one of three before the courts seeking to overturn reforms advanced by Blaine Higgs when he was finance minister. The plaintiff in a second case

TAOYUAN, Taiwan (Reuters) -Taiwan Vice President William Lai left on Tuesday to shore up a shaky relationship with Honduras and attend the swearing-in of its new leader, an event U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is also going to, potentially giving the two a chance to interact.

Phishing attack at Bronson Healthcare Group may have compromised 8k patients' information
Julie Spitzer - Friday, January 5th, 2018 Print	| Email
Personal information of 8,256 patients at Kalamazoo, Mich.-based Bronson Healthcare Group may have been exposed when the organization's email system was hit with a phishing attack, though no medical records were compromised, according to MLive.
Five employees email accounts were targeted between June 12 and 27 when an online scammer used phishing tactics to gain the credentials and passwords necessary to access the hospital's payroll and email system. Bronson discovered the incident in early November and sent letters to the affected patients Dec. 5.
The letter states patient health information was contained in one of the breached email accounts, according to MLive. It included patient names, medications and treatments; however, it is unclear from the MLive report which, if any, other information may have been compromised. The hospital told MLive Jan. 4 it had not received any reports of fraud or identity theft as a result.
The pay of at least one employee was diverted to an unauthorized place, Chris Sangalli, vice president and chief compliance officer for Bronson, told MLive.
"In some employee emails there was patient information, and we were never able to determine whether the information was used or anything was opened or downloaded in any way," she added.
Becker's Hospital Review has reached out to Bronson Healthcare Group. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps marching forward, even with, as some would say, their lesser echelon characters leading the way. In this case it's Stephen Strange, coming at us in the upcoming fantasy tale, Doctor Strange. How exactly he's going to fit into the MCU puzzle is still a closely guarded secret, but one thing will be certain: Audiences will be in for a mind-bending experience as the good doctor (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) is the master of the mystical arts. Expected, however, will be his origin story (as all the stand-alone Marvel hero pics have had like "Ant-Man," "Iron Man" and "Captain America") outlining how the arrogant, but gifted, surgeon lost the use of his hands and amidst searching the globe for a way to regain use of them comes to find himself under the tutelage of The Ancient One (played by Tilda Swinton). This trailer, courtesy of Marvel Entertainment, offers a brief glimpse of what's to come. Check it out.
Doctor Strange stars Rachel McAdams, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Scott Adkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Benedict Wong.
After his career is destroyed, a brilliant but arrogant and conceited surgeon gets a new lease on life when a sorcerer takes him under his wing and trains him to defend the world against evil.
Doctor Strange invokes in UK theaters on October 28, 2016 and US theaters on November 4, 2016.
When I'm not sleeping, I'm doing something else that closely resembles sleep.
With a catalog of some of the most well-known comic characters at their disposal, Marvel chooses to instead make movies of their lesser known characters. First Guardians, then Antman, now Dr. Strange. If that doesn't spell confidence I don't know what does. The trailer looks interesting by the way.
Marvel moving into the Astral Plane now. They're conquering of everything is now complete.
Well … that was strange.
Don't know the first thing about Dr. Strange and really didn't learn anything about him from the trailer but I have high hopes for it. Benedict Cumberbatch, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton and Rachel McAdams are heavy hitting acting talent and Scott Derrickson is damn good director.
I'm amazed at the level of talent standing in line for a shot to star in a Marvel gig. Whose next Tom Hanks as Galactus?
I want to see this more than Civil War now and definitely more than anything that DC is thinking about making.
After the BvS fiasco, DC has shown they don't know how to properly cinematize their characters so you are 100% correct in wanting to see Dr. Strange or Civil War more than anything they'll produce.
It's stupid at how good Marvel has gotten at this.
I don't know what I just watched but I want to watch more of it please.
Excellent intro. Has a darker vibe to it that the Marvel universe hasn't had yet. Should be interesting to see where they go with this and how it'll ultimately tie into the Avengers.
His arc in this will no doubt somehow involve the Soul Stone which is one of the Infinity Stones yet to be pursued by Thanos. Thanos is the main villain to the Avengers in Infinity War. Connection complete.
I'll be honest, as much as I want Marvel to stumble, I don't think this is the movie to do it.

Does size matter? Smaller vs larger HMOs
One of the main reasons landlords invest in HMO 's Houses in Multiple Occupation is to generate more rental income than can be achieved with a single tenancy buy-to-let property.
And while the misconception is that all HMO s have at least six lettable bedrooms, the official line is that any property with a minimum of three unconnected tenants sharing kitchen and bathroom facilities is generally defined as an HMO.
This does mean that there is scope for investors with less working capital to buy a property and rent it as an HMO without doing very much work at all, but what are the pros and cons of investing in smaller HMOs vs larger HMOs?
Advantages of smaller HMO s
In theory, you could buy the same three bedroom house that could be rented to a family on the same tenancy agreement but instead, rent the rooms individually on different tenancy agreements and call it an HMO. The rooms would still be subject to minimum size requirements, but there would be no need to obtain planning permission or a licence unless there is an Article 4 Direction in place in the area.
This kind of property could also be cost-effectively converted into a five or six-bedroom HMO by turning spaces such as integral garages, dining rooms and living rooms into bedrooms, as long as there is still space for a generous communal area and kitchen.
The obvious advantages with smaller HMOs, aside from not usually needing planning permission or a licence, is that refurbishment work would be minimal, faster and cheaper, allowing for the property to be tenanted fairly quickly and start generating an income. They are usually easier to manage too, because fewer tenants also means less potential problems and voids to deal with, maintenance issues, wear and tear and neighbour complaints.
However, the less rooms you have in an HMO, the less rental income you are able to generate. The opportunity to add immediate value through development profits will also be reduced if you're not, on the whole, making major improvements to the property.
Advantages of larger HMOs
On the other hand, larger HMOs undoubtedly generate more income. There is also less competition for suitable properties than there is for the traditional housing stock, such as three and four-bedroom properties. Larger houses with more land or properties such as nursing homes, B&Bs and small hotels are often more suitable and not sought-after by owner-occupiers.
And you need more cash to get started. Not only will the property itself usually come with a bigger price tag, but the refurbishment work required could be significantly more expensive, not least because you need additional bathroom and kitchen facilities, and take months. Planning and licensing applications can be complex and only add to this timeframe.
In addition, instead of four or five tenants to deal with, there could be eight, 10 or even 12 people living in a property, which increases the risk of arguments and personality clashes and means that quarterly checks and general management takes more time.
But while investors might assume that doubling the size of an HMO means doubling the operating costs, that's not always the case. Broadband infrastructure might cost more, but the monthly bill will be the same, for example. It's more common that a 12-bedroom HMO will cost 50% more to run than a six-bedroom HMO, but generate double the income, therefore increasing your return on investment.
What's right for you?
The fact is, there is no right or wrong. Both small and large HMOs work and come with pros and cons. The key when deciding which size of HMO to create is to think about the bigger picture and your long-term goals.
If your goal is to achieve a certain level of income, then investors should take into consideration the income potential of individual rooms, not each property. You could generate the same gross rental income with four 10-bedroom HMOs as you could with eight five-bedroom HMOs, and those smaller HMOs would not necessarily cost you half the initial investment to buy and convert.
The time it takes to manage 12 tenants in one property may also not differ significantly to managing six tenants in two properties, especially when travelling to different properties is factored in.
Having said that, the resale potential of larger HMOs is often limited to investors, whereas smaller HMOs can more easily be converted back into family homes. If you're not intending on holding your HMO investments for the long-term, or want to increase your chances of achieving a quicker sale in an emergency, having smaller properties in your portfolio is a good idea.
Ultimately, it will come down to how much capital you have to start with and what's available to buy in your investment location, but having a diverse portfolio of HMOs is never a bad thing. Just remember that larger HMOs are not for the faint-hearted or inexperienced investor.

Chillicothe Fire Department receives updated, improved ranking
Source: Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune
The Chillicothe Fire Department (CFD) recently received an updated ISO rating, the department's best-ever, of 4 was released in a report of the Insurance Services Office, dated July 29. The department also received a perfect 100 out of 100 in the category of "Operational Considerations." A press release by Chillicothe city Administrator Darin Chappell said, "The Chillicothe Fire Department has been recognized as achieving a reduced ISO rating of 3, dropping from the 4 rating of just four years ago, placing Chillicothe in the top 15th percentile of communities surveyed in 2019," Chappell said. "This new rating is the best level CFD has ever attained, and we are very proud of the effort, training, and increased professionalism that led to this recognition. An ISO fire insurance rating also referred to as a fire score or Public Protection Classification (PPC), is a score from 1 to 10 that indicates how well-protected the community is by their local fire department.

Mountjoy, Henry VIII's Humanist Mentor
By David Crowther 3 years ago Jun 04, 2017 2 Comments
Tudors: Early
William Blount (1478–1534), 4th Baron Mountjoy
William came from a family of long military service to the throne; his father John Blount died when he was 13, and gave wardship to his brother, James. Fortunately for the family fortunes, James jumped ship from Richard III, joining Henry Tudor in exile. John Blount had learned enough about royal service to warn against it; he left advice in his will to his sons:
"live right wisely and never to take the state of baron upon them if they may leave it from them, nor to desire to be great about princes for it is dangerous"
Mountjoy ignored his father's advice. And in 1497, fired by the love of learning and culture he travelled to Paris, a journey that would change his life and of the future king, Henry VIII. Because there he met Desiderus Erasmus, and live with him for a year under his tutelage. Erasmus was as star-struck as his pupil. When Mountjoy invited him to come to London in 1499, Erasmus wrote:
"Lord Mountjoy swept me away…where indeed would I not follow a young man so enlightened, so kindly and so amiable? I would follow him, as God loves me, even to the lower world itself"
Mentor to a Prince – socius studiorum
Mountjoy invited Erasmus because in 1498 he was appointed to be Prince Henry's 'companion in studies'. Mountjoy was to transform Henry's education – to be England's first 'Renaissance Prince'. Mountjoy brought connections with the finest scholars of the 'new learning'; not just Erasmus, but the leaders of Humanist thought in England – William Grocyn, Thomas Linacre, John Colet, William Lily; and their protege, Thomas More. Before long, Henry's old schoolmaster John Skelton, was replaced with men who had been seeped in the classics, John Holt, and William Hone.
As a 22 year old nobleman, heir to the traditions of chivalry and military service as well as an enthusiast for the new learning, Mountjoy was perfectly placed to light the same fire in the intelligent young prince Henry.
Erasmus, More and Prince Henry at Eltham Palace
In 1499 Thomas More and Erasmus were invited by Mountjoy to meet his protege the 8 year old Prince Henry. Erasmus described the event in a letter.
I was staying at lord Mountjoy's country house when Thomas More came to see me, and took me out with him for a walk as far as the next village, where all the king's children except prince Arthur … were being educated. When we came into the hall, the attendants not only of the palace but also of Mounjoy's household were all assembled. In the midst stood prince Henry, then nine years old, and having already something of royalty in his demeanour, in which there was a certain dignity combined with singular courtesy. More… presented [Henry] with some writing. For my part, not having expected anything of the sort, I had nothing to offer, but promised that on another occasion I would in some way declare my duty towards him. Meanwhile I was angry with More for not having warned me, especially as the boy sent me a little note, while we were at dinner, to challenge something from my pen. I went home, and in the Muses' spite, from whom I had been so long divorced, finished the poem within three days.
Under Mountjoy's guidance, Henry's education was modern, thorough and unusually prolonged. It gave him a deep understanding of the theology and the classics. Mountjoy remained in correspondence with Erasmus throughout his life; "the sun never shone on a truer friend of scholars" Erasmus was to write.
Servant of the king
On Henry's accession in 1509, Mountjoy became a trusted servant of the king, like his family before him. He was Lieutenant of Hammes in the pale of Calais for 20 years, was sent to Spain on diplomatic service, served in Henry's French wars, and sat in the court that condemned the Duke of Buckingham. He earned the fruits of his long loyalty; made Knight of Master of the Mint, a knight of the Garter in 1526, with a subsidy assessed at £1000 in 1527.
Mountjoy and Catherine of Aragon
In 1509, Mountjoy married one of Catherine's attendants when she was Princess of Wales, Inez de Venegas. In fact this was already Mountjoy's second marriage; he would be married 4 times. In 1512 he was the obvious choice to become the head of the Queen's household as Lord Chamberlain. The relationship seems to have been a happy one; in 1525 he solicited a treatise on the subject of marriage from Erasmus, and it was published in 1526 and dedicated to Catherine.
But the king's 'Great Matter' put Mountjoy in a terrible position, torn between loyalty to his King and to his Queen – maybe the words of his father came back to him then. In 1530 he put his name to the open letter to Pope Clement in support of the king's divorce; even worse in 1533 he was head of the group that went to see Katherine to urge her to submit to the king's new marriage and acknowledge herself dowager princess – which the indomitable Katherine of course resolutely refused. this was too much for Mountjoy and he begged Thomas Cromwell to release him:
"It is not my part, nor for me this often to vex or unquiet her whom the king's grace caused to be sworn unto and truly to serve her to my power"
Death and issue
Mountjoy died in November 1534, and was buried at Barton Blount in Derbyshire. He left 6 children from his four marriages. His eldest daughter by his third wife, Gertrude, Princess Mary, and shared Mary's downs. When Mary became queen, she also then shared in the ups, becoming her lady in waiting.
He was succeeded by his heir from his third marriage to Alice Keble by Charles Blount, who also served Henry VIII and died only 28 years. Charles Blount's advice to his own children must have made his grandfather old John Blount turn in his grave. He advised his children to
"…keep themselves worthy of so much honour as to be called hereafter to die for there master and country"

Hi Macy, and thank you. I may have moved on too far to go back…but Erasmus is a wonderful figure. I'll try to find a moment.

Q: Homeomorphism/ homotopy types of non-negatively curved manifolds A (special case of a) theorem of Gromov says for any $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a constant $C(n)$ such that for any smooth connected closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with non-negative sectional curvature the sum of all of its Betti numbers is at most $C(n)$.
On the other hand, for $n=2$  only sphere, torus, real projective plane, and (possibly- I do not know) connected sum of 2 real projective planes, can carry a non-negatively curved metric. (This follows from the Gauss-Bonnet theorem  and topological classification of surfaces with non-negative Euler characteristic.)

What happens when $n>2$?  For which $n>2$ it is known that there are infinitely many homeomorphism/ homotopy types of $n$-manifolds which can carry a Riemannian metric with non-negative sectional curvature?

A: As mentioned in comments, the first dimension where an infinite family of pairwise non-homeomorphic closed nonnegatively curved manifolds occurs is $3$ (the lens spaces). The question becomes more challenging for simply-connected manifolds. If (as expected) simply-connected nonnegatively curved manifolds are rationally elliptic, then the first infinite family occurs in dimension 6, see
Curvature, diameter, and quotient manifolds by
B. Totaro.  In general, the question is well-studied and there are many examples (easily found by searching online).

Apple pushes Ping with exclusive Michael Jackson song
Sam Oliver | Dec 02, 2010
In a new promotional effort to generate interest for its iTunes Ping music social networking service, Apple has landed an exclusive track from the late pop star Michael Jackson.
The song, from the forthcoming album "Michael," is called "Much Too Soon." The world premiere of the track is available exclusively on Ping, a new social networking service from Apple that allows users to connect with artists and share their iTunes purchasing activities.
The newly released song from the "King of Pop" can be streamed within iTunes by accessing Ping, and navigating to the official Michael Jackson account. It's also a new way for Apple to promote Ping, which garnered over a million users in its first 48 hours, though Apple has not provided an update on the number of accounts since.
The new song from the late artist was written at the time Jackson was working on "Thriller," released in 1982, which went on to become the best-selling album of all time.
"Michael always liked the song but never found the right home for it; here it finds its place as the bittersweet closing to the stellar collection," the official Ping account for Jackson reads. "This song was written by Michael Jackson and produced by Michael Jackson and John McClain. David Campbell is featured on the strings."
The album "Michael" features new songs from the late artist. The complete collection of 10 tracks, featuring artists 50 Cent, Akon and Lenny Kravitz, will be released on Dec. 14.
Apple's exclusive Michael Jackson track marks the second major content deal the company has secured in less than a month. In November, Apple began selling the entire catalog of The Beatles through iTunes, the only digital service with the rights to the band's music. Sales of Beatles albums topped 450,000 in the first week.
Ping was launched with the new iTunes 10 in September. The product is based on discovery, allowing users to see what their friends are listening to and what concerts they're going to.
In November, Apple and Twitter announced a strategic alliance that allows users to share music discoveries with their friends through Twitter. Users can advertise their Ping activity, with song previews and links to purchase and download music from the iTunes Store, on their Twitter account.

I love the idea of Ping. I signed up the day it was announced, used it for a couple of days. But then my usage went from regular to non-existant. Why? Rarely, did I ever have itunes available to access the content.
If apple wants Ping to become big, they have to PORT IT TO THE INTERNET.
Give me a useable online version. I'll check it just as often as I check facebook!

That Michael Jackson song they put up sucked hard core and I actually like Michael Jackson. I just don't like that sappy crappy heal the world type songs he loved to make. *sticks finger down throat to try and throw up*
Ping is silly jump-on-the-social-website-bandwagon crap.

Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital, from the series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji
Hiroshige (1797–1858) based his views on a characteristic compositional model in which one element, in this case the tops of two trees in the bottom right, serve as a point of reference to create an effect of depth. In the distance on the right, Mount Fuji symbolically takes the place of the vanishing point. Between the two, a flat green expanse scattered with figures devoid of relief and trees with barely suggested shadows represents the hill, which breaks off in a curving line addressed with the "fukibokashi" technique of subtle gradations of ink to give the landscape an atmospheric and poetic character. At the top, the same technique is used for the sky, crowned by an almost abstract band of blue ink. Introduced into Japan by the Dutch in 1829, Prussian (or "Berlin") blue was such a hallmark of the artist's style that he was even known as "Blue Hiroshige".

Q: Php MySQLi Undefined values(variables) Okay so I fixed my mistake but I am still getting an error. I am not use to MySQLi but I would like to help my friend get something working for his site he is making.
    <?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$firstname = filter($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = filter($_POST['lastname']);
$age = filter($_POST['age']);
}

$db = new MySQLi('localhost', 'root', '', 'register');
    if ($db->connect_error) {
            $message = $db->connect_error;
            die($message);
    }

    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM users';
    $result = $db->query($sql);
    if ($db->error) {
            $message = $db->error;
            die($message);
    }

    $db->query("INSERT INTO users (firstname,lastname,age)
    VALUES ('".$firstname."', '".$lastname."', '".$age."')");

    mysqli_close($db);

?>

<!DOCTYPE html>

</form>

This is the error we are getting ->

# Time Memory Function Location

When I do this in the old MySQL I don't get no such error like this so I am very confused since it is working for me when I do it but with the SQLi I get the error.

A: This code block needs to be first, before any MySQL query attempt.
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $firstname = filter($_POST['firstname']);
    $lastname = filter($_POST['lastname']);
    $age = filter($_POST['age']);
}

This code block defines the variables used. In your current example, the variables aren't set until after the query attempt - that's why you're getting the error.
Thus:
<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $firstname = filter($_POST['firstname']);
    $lastname = filter($_POST['lastname']);
    $age = filter($_POST['age']);
    $db = new MySQLi('localhost', 'root', '', 'register');
    if ($db->connect_error) {
            $message = $db->connect_error;
            die($message);
    }

    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM users';
    $result = $db->query($sql);
    if ($db->error) {
            $message = $db->error;
            die($message);
    }

    $db->query("INSERT INTO users (firstname,lastname,age)
     VALUES ('".$firstname."', '".$lastname."', '".$age."')");

    mysqli_close($db);
}

?>

A: You should make sure that the fields actually have data in them.
$required = array(
    'firstname',
    'lastname',
    'age'
);

$missing = array();
foreach($required as $item) {
    if(!isset($_POST[$item}) || empty($_POST[$item])) {
        $missing[] = $item;
    }
}

if(!empty($missing)) {
    die("You need to supply the required fields. (" .implode(", ", $missing). ")");
} else {
    // run the query here.
}

As you can see, we run the $required array to ensure the values are set in the $_POST superglobal and are not empty. As we require them to run this.
I still, however think your filter() function has something to do. Could you supply that?

A: Give this a shot:
<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$firstname = filter($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = filter($_POST['lastname']);
$age = filter($_POST['age']);

$db = new MySQLi('localhost', 'root', '', 'register');
    if ($db->connect_error) {
            $message = $db->connect_error;
            die($message);
    }

    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM users';
    $result = $db->query($sql);
    if ($db->error) {
            $message = $db->error;
            die($message);
    }

    $db->query("INSERT INTO users (firstname,lastname,age)
     VALUES ('".$firstname."', '".$lastname."', '".$age."')");

    mysqli_close($db);
}
else { die("No post data was submitted");  }
?>
