Stolen babies, stolen lives, Spanish justice served cold
Stolen from their mothers at birth, sold to be brought up by another. We meet Juani and Paloma, two Spanish women caught up in Spain's scandal of stolen babies. They're among many struggling to come to terms with crimes done to them and their biological parents decades ago.
Advocates say there were thousands of false adoptions, beginning during the Franco regime. Money changed hands between doctors, nurses, priests, nuns and foster families — who didn't necessarily know the babies were stolen.
Juani, 48, wonders about her brother. He was delivered at the Santa Cristina Clinic in Madrid. But they told her mother he was stillborn. Juani thinks her brother is still alive somewhere.
Paloma Perez Calleja's case is confirmed. She is now 57. She was a stolen baby. She had a DNA test done in 2004. She borrowed her adoptive mother's tooth brush to do it. The proof left no room for appeal. She took that step as a result of a dispute.
Paloma said: "My mother told me I did not belong to the family, that my family was my husband and my daughters, and that her family was her sister and her nieces. When I was given to her, she had been told that my birth mother was a prostitute who didn't want me."
In 2010, Paloma brought a formal complaint through the Spanish courts. Others did too. The case was shelved. Now, however, Spain's second-highest court has re-opened it. It considers it one of prolonged, illegal detention.
Paloma said: "I think the legal authorities and the police have to find my real family; I came out of this clinic two hours old; they have an obligation to find my biological mother."
Juani Fernández has been searching for her younger brother for three years. In 1963, the Santa Cristina Clinic was under strong suspicion. The Spanish government, rather than hospitals or the Catholic Church, began regulating adoptions in 1987.
Juani said: "When it started to come out that babies had been stolen, Santa Cristina was mentioned all over the media. I knew my brother had died but I didn't know whether he actually had been stolen from my mother. I looked for his baptism certificate. [Even stillborns were baptised.] And it was obviously faked. It never happened."
Expert police analysis confirms that the document issued by the Archbishopric of Madrid is false. Other papers contradict each other on the time of the birth and death of Juani's brother.
Juani said: "The judge studied the case for two years, then certified that criminal detention had taken place, that the case was full of irregularities, that everything had been falsified. What I don't understand is why she then closed the case! Why doesn't she keep looking? That's what I don't understand about justice in Spain!"
Euronews also spoke to a legal professional.
Beatriz Beiras, euronews: "To try and shed some light on the stolen babies scandal, we're joined from Madrid by Guillermo Peña. You're a lawyer and the spokesman for the advocacy group SOS Stolen Babies Madrid. The first thing that hits you about this is that it's been going on since before the 1950s, until the end of the 80s. How can it have been possible to take babies and deliver them so lightly? Who decided, and why?"
Guillermo Peña: "I think a lot of it was inertia, that set in over the years, and so the people who were responsible were, presumably, those who furnished the babies' identity paperwork: doctors, nurses and perhaps some employees at the civil registry. This sort of thing just carried on on the margins of political and legal developments in the country, so that this bad practice, this thirst for money lasted till the end of the 1980s."
euronews: "The motive was economic?"
Peña: "There is no doubt. Maybe at first, in the early 1940s, there was a political goal, or even a twisted sense of charity, very badly thought out, but as the regime evolved economically, someone saw an excellent way to make money by stealing minors, mainly because it could be done without leaving a trace."
euronews: "What are we talking about, exactly? Babies stolen from their mothers, irregular or illegal adoptions, selling?"
Peña: "Firstly, we've got families looking for their children who supposedly died in hospital and whose bodies they never saw, and who, when they look for civil registry documents they find there isn't a death certificate, or that there's no body buried in the graveyard. Then there are irregular adoptions, which is when it's declared that the child's birth parents are unknown, and that's what's written at the registry by another family through an irregular procedure, since the real biological parents never gave their consent for this adoption. In a third sort of case, we have children where it was written 'parents unknown' and who nobody ever adopted."
euronews: "The people affected complain a great injustice was done, that they are not listened to, that their cases go nowhere. Why is it so complicated to give them justice? How far can they go?"
Peña: "To find out the truth about what happened, there are only two ways: to get all the papers from the birth clinic and the civil registry concerning the act when it took place, and to have a DNA test done. This is what the institution of justice asks for, what we the lawyers ask for, and what the victims themselves ask the hospitals to provide. Time and again, the hospitals say they can't find the papers in their archives, the registry books that serve to trace the child. This delay, and having to petition repeatedly, prevents us from collecting the data, and without it you can't put together a criminal case."

DRE Releases New "Zine": The Church: We Are One in Christ
A new "zine" from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Department of Religious Education (DRE) is here to help. This colorful mini-magazine, "The Church: We Are One in Christ," focuses on basic aspects of the question, "What is the Church? What does it mean to say, we are the "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church"?
The zine explores the Church's roots, from its foundation by Christ through its journey to the United States with immigrants and missionaries. The engaging format is sure to appeal to high school students, but adults will find it an interesting read as well. A teacher's guide is in preparation for parishes who plan to use the zine for church school or youth group activities.
This zine is the most recent addition to the DRE's series of zines, offering units of study for use in parish religious education programs. Other zines focus on the Liturgy, Great Lent and Holy Week, an Introduction to the Bible, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
The zines have been distributed widely in parishes, placed at candle stands, mailed to parishioners, given to visitors.
The strength of "The Church: We Are One in Christ" lies in the opportunity it creates, notes Dr. Tony Vrame, Director of the DRE. "It provides an opportunity to reflect on how the Church is a community, a worshipping community, a community that serves, a community that bears witness and evangelizes."
The new zine also touches on issues vital to the Church in America. As Dr. Vrame observes, " The zine emphasizes that we are one faith, one church, and many cultures. This particular zine has an excellent focus on the ever expanding membership of the Church globally and culturally."
To order copies of "The Church: We Are One in Christ" and other zines in this series, call 1-800-566-1088, or you can fax an order to 617-850-1489.

Wonderful night cream! Absorbs instantly and SMOOTHS my skin. Smooths my face, firms it.. no wrinkles, no blemishes, no bumps. The fragrance is so faint, you barely smell anything. And the little you do smell is soft and goes away the instant you put it on. And the price is staggeringly cheap! RUN to your local Aldi's and get it. I don't know why they don't sell this in more stores. It is an amazing product.. Also, please do not listen to the reviews given by anyone under 30. This is a WRINKLE cream girls.... so at 19 you're not going to have the same skin needs as someone 30+. You're still a teenager complete with all the teenage skin problems and you have no business using this cream or reviewing it at all! . Whenever reading reviews about a product, only listen to those of your own age so you can get an accurate review. Overall, this is an amazing product. GET IT!
UPDATE! Still like it. But i'm in love with the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair now... Now THAT product is AMAZING!
33 of 39 people found this helpful.
I was sceptical, I really was. I've been using the Nivea Q10 night cream for years, and presumed it was basically the same. But I gave it a whirl as I was in Aldi and I remembered the good reviews here.
Well, Its not like the Nivea - its not as thick, and has retinol in it. This means its not quite as moisturising, and my eyes feel a bit tight in the morning. (My skin is getting drier as I get older) But I layer a light serum underneath my eyes and its fine then. Its worth the extra step because after only three days of use my skin is like GLASS.
I've used Avene Eluage off and on for years (both Regular and Riche) and this is actually a nicer product to use. Its spreads easier, feels fresher and smells nicer. And the smoothing effect is as good, perhaps actually better. at a fraction of the price! I won't repurchase the Eluage, thats for sure!
I'm never gonna stop buying this.
Ok, this will be a strange review. First of all I am a guy. Second, I really don't use this on my face. For years I have had really. really dry scaly feet and lower legs. And little white bumps on the top of my feet that resemble barnacles...nice right? Never able to wear sandals in summer. Have spent loads on prescriptions from dermatologists that had no effect. Used once per week on exfoliated feet and legs the difference is truly amazing.......flakes that could be peeled off before are gone along with nasty white bumps. New normal skin. Summer is here and I'm shopping for sandals. Amazing product. At this price will be stocking up.
Don't know that this product was intended for this type of use, but it really works.
I loved this stuff for a while--it's a nice moisturizer, but it did end up breaking me out. Strange, considering my acne is purely hormonal. Every time I'd use it some sort of blemish would pop up, so eventually I got wise. I say try it--it might work better for you. Just be aware that this stuff stinks. Like somebody just dumped a bottle of perfume in it.
Can't believe how great this stuff is, especially for the price - how do Aldi manage to keep it so cheap?! I'm 21 and although I'm a long way from getting proper wrinkles, this is the perfect night moisturiser for me and I'm so glad I don't have to keep trying out pricy alternatives.
Costing £1.99 per jar from Aldi, it's impossible not to buy it for this price, especially after reading so many positive reviews like I had. It comes packaged in a heavy glass jar which looks pretty and expensive on your makeup table but isn't great when travelling, though it's easy to decant it into small plastic pots when you need to pack light.
The smell is pleasant and refreshing, a light floral smell which I actually like, which is unusual for someone like me who generally hates perfumed skin products. I had tried the same product a few years ago and I barely used it as the perfume was so strong (it has gone through several packaging and minor formula changes since, I believe) so I'm glad that issue was sorted out! It's very light and refreshing to apply and not the least bit oily, even for someone with sensitive oily/combination skin like mine where even many of the 'oil-free' night moisturisers make me greasy all over. It absorbs into the skin incredibly fast which is amazing, and still doesn't get even slightly greasy when more is applied.
When I wake up the next day my skin is soft, full, hydrated and feels fantastic - still no greasiness or any residue at all, it's like my skin drinks all of it in and can't get enough of it. I've been using it generously for 2 months and have only recently hit the bottom of the jar.
I still can't believe this product is so cheap and so effective and how much better my skin is for it. I've given my 64-year-old auntie a jar to try who was previously a devout Oil of Olay fan and she loves it too. I stockpile this so I can give jars to friends and family to try - everyone needs to know about it & stop wasting their money on expensive 'miracle' creams!
My HG night cream! Best one I've ever used! I always hated Olay and Garnier and thought all night creams were thick, heavy, and pointless. Not this one. I have combination skin and this feels light yet still very moisturizing. I love how soft and silky it makes my skin feel. It has never irritated nor broken out my skin, on the contrary, the Retinol has a subtle acne clearing, wrinkle tightening effect (it's supposed to do that, but I'm surprised I can actually notice the difference in my skin). This little gem was only $4 at Aldi, what a steal! It comes in a fancy glass jar, which is nice, but a tube or pump would make it easier for travel. But, I guess women are impressed w/ fancy packaging. I've been using this for about 6 months and I will definitely repurchase. The smell is light and pleasant. I feel I should mention, I do not like the day cream (same packaging but green instead of blue). It's too thick and heavy, but it might work for people w/ dry skin.
In short I love this product. I was pleasantly surprised when I read how good it was and I was blown away. This product is amazingly moisturizing. I normally have oily skin (which gets oilier and acne-prone as the weather gets warmer). Though this cream goes on as if it is quite a oil-clogging cream, it is actually not. I found it to be extremely moisturizing without causing me acne! I have also noticed other reviewers comment on it causing them red bumps, drying skin, etc. I believe that this is because of the retinol-based ingredients - I found it too initially, but by slowly introducing it to my skin (i.e. building it up from once a week to every third day, to ever other day, etc)... the benefits have paid off.
I have previously spend $100s on expensive creams and 'state-of-the-art' skincare and nothing compares to this. I have seen a definite improvement in my laugh lines... I have a much brighter complexion and definitely no flakiness! My skin looks and feel well-rested.
The only downside to this product is the packaging - I wish it was in a pump ... retinol looses effectiveness as it becomes exposed to sunlight, air, etc. So I question how much effect the retinol really has on my skin. Needless to say I still rate this product very highly.
I shop at Aldi about once a week, and I've seen the Lacura line there, but I had no idea it was a decent quality German skincare line. I thought it was just some weird "off" brand unique to Aldi. Then I happened across the reviews for this product. I thought to myself, "What can I possibly lose by giving it a try?" So I bought a jar for $4. I have been using this cream every night for a week, and I am amazed at how much it has improved my skin. I have a skin type that is hard to work with -- dry, but tending toward breakouts, and I have mild to moderate rosacea on my cheeks and forehead. This is the first cream that has ever done anything for my rosacea. After one application, my skin was literally half as red/inflamed as it normally is. After a week of usage, the redness has been toned down by about 75%, and I actually need to use blush again so I don't look pale as a ghost (in the past, my rosacea has eliminated the need for blush). My skin tone is even, my skin feels smooth and well-hydrated, I'm not breaking out -- in fact, the breakouts I had are going away. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but this cream seems to be increasing cell turnover -- about as well as Green Cream or Avene Eluage (which both contain retinol), without the accompanying rosacea flareup I get with those products. Who would have ever thought a night cream as inexpensive as this would work better than products that cost 10 or 15 times as much? The *only* negative is the somewhat strong fragrance of this cream -- it kind of smells like herbal/floral shampoo -- but the scent dissipates soon after application. In short, this cream is a real find. If your Aldi has it, buy it and give it a try -- I can see this product working for a multitude of skin types.
I am on a tight budget at the moment and you can't get any more economical than a pot of moisturiser for �1.99. It's nice for my sensitive/dry skin in the winter. I think they have toned down the fragrance since I first used it which is good.

La Copa Mundial de Rugby Femenino de 2014 fue la séptima edición de la Copa del Mundo de Rugby Femenino, y la sexta celebrada en Europa. La final se disputó el 17 de agosto.

Los partidos de la fase de grupos se celebraron en el Centro Nacional de Rugby de Marcoussis, muy próximo al Stade Jean-Bouin de París donde se disputaron los partidos de la rondas finales.

El formato del torneo mantuvo la base de la Copa del Mundo de 2010, con 12 equipos divididos en tres grupos de cuatro cada uno.

Elección de la sede
El 27 de agosto de 2009 la International Rugby Board, hoy World Rugby anunció el proceso de elección de la sede de 2014, se le dio un plazo a las federaciones para presentar su candidatura hasta el 30 de octubre de 2009, siendo el 12 de mayo de 2010 la fecha fijada para designar la sede del torneo. El anuncio fue un hito histórico en el rugby femenino, puesto que fue la primera vez que la IRB dio tanta publicidad a la elección de una sede para la Copa Mundial de Rugby Femenino. La sede elegida tuvo cuatro años para preparar el evento (el doble que las anteriores designadas). El anuncio fue algo importante puesto que, por primera vez, la IRB incluyó las no oficiales ediciones de 1991 y 1994 en su lista de torneos previos.

El 21 de diciembre de 2009, la IRB anunció de forma oficial a las cuatro candidatas a ser sede del torneo:
Kazajistán
Nueva Zelanda
Samoa
Estados Unidos

Sin embargo, tras retrasar la designación oficial hasta septiembre de 2010, la IRB anunció que debido a problemas con las sedes candidatas, había reabierto el proceso de designación de la sede del torneo. Finalmente, el 30 de junio de 2011, la IRB anunció que el torneo se celebraría en Francia.

Clasificación

Francia, como país anfitrión, se clasificó automáticamente. Los tres primeros equipos de la edición de 2010, Nueva Zelanda, Inglaterra y Australia, también se clasificaron automáticamente. Canadá y Estados Unidos se clasificaron también automáticamente al no manifestar ningún otro país americano interés en disputar este torneo.

Equipos clasificados

Árbitros
En abril de 2014 la IRB anunció una relación de 14 árbitros para el torneo, incluidos ocho árbitros principales y seis asistentes.

I love an excuse to decorate and I absolutely love the spring season. Pastel everything, awesome candy and baby animals- what's not to like? It's a fresh start or a rebirth if you will, after the long winter.
I "shopped" my house to create this casual and inviting table setting. I don't have a formal dining room, just an eat in kitchen and the table seats four, perfect for my family!
Last year, my mom gave me the bunny salad plates from Pier 1 Imports and I find them just darling. They add such a cute touch of whimsy and definitely tie in for Easter.
Since a meal at Easter time is extra special, I used cloth napkins and cute burlap bunny ear napkin rings that were an awesome find in the Target one spot (last year). This combination adds a nice natural touch, due to the textures.
The silverware and lace overlay were my grandmas and it makes me smile to know she entertained with these same pieces. Family heirlooms are so special to me.
This past week, Aldi had mini bulbs on sale for $2.49 and when I saw the gorgeous daffodils, I knew they'd be coming home with me. Nothing says spring, like those yellow blooms. The flowers make the perfect centerpiece. To add height, I placed them on a scalloped cake stand and anchored them with nests filled with speckled eggs, that I purchased a few years ago at Homegoods.
In a few weeks we will sit down and make memories while enjoying a special meal and I just can't wait!
– The glasses are from Target, years ago. As are the napkin rings.
– The silverware, salt & pepper shakers and lace overlay were my grandmas, so antique treasures.
– The Easter egg doilies came from Dollar tree.
– The cloth napkins are from World Market.
– The pretty twig and moss bird nests were a great find at HomeGoods.
– The mini daffodils came from Aldi.
I believe that covers all the details. What is your favorite way to set the table?
I love Pier One Imports – I could spend hours in there!

Finally we seem to have a theme that does not distort any of the features of this website. The Foliage theme is a design based on the Drupal Bluemarine theme. It has been re-designed by netbjarne from Denmark. Excellent work netbjarne.
TO DO: Header of the site, Logos.


The FDA recently issued a draft guidance titled, "Multiple Function Device Products: Policy and Considerations," which seeks to clarify FDA's policy for products with multiple functions that include at least one device function. Section 3060(a) of the 21st Century Cures Act, enacted last December, added Section 520(o)(2) to the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, which authorizes the FDA to assess the effect non-regulated functions of multiple function devices have on the device.
The FDA does not regulate certain software functions that do not meet the statutory device definition if they are contained in a multiple function product. The FDA may, however, assess the impact of the software function on the safety and effectiveness of the device under FDA's premarket review. Comments on the draft guidance can be submitted to the docket until June 26, 2018.
The draft guidance proposes that when assessing a multiple function device product, manufacturers and the FDA should determine if any other function may impact the safety or effectiveness of the device function subject to the FDA's premarket review. If so, the impact should be evaluated to determine whether the other function has a positive or negative impact on the device function in their premarket submission.
Indications for Use - The indications for use should only include the indications for use of the device-function-under review.
Description of Functions - The device description should include a description of the other functions that impact the device function-under-review, and address how the device function-under-review is impacted by each of the other functions.
Architecture and Design - The architecture and design documents included in the premarket submission for the device function-under-review should include adequate detail to understand how or if the other functions interact with or impact the device function-under-review.
Risk Analysis - The risk analysis included in the premarket submission for the device function-under-review should include a risk-based assessment of any impact of the other function to the safety or effectiveness of the device function-under-review. The risk-based assessment should document any risk mitigations employed to mitigate increased risk resulting from the combination of functions.
Requirements and Specifications - Documentation of requirements and specifications included in the premarket submission for the device function-under-review should include adequate detail to describe any expected relationship, utility, reliance, or interoperability with any other function.
Submission Summary - Where the device function-under-review is not adversely impacted by another function, FDA does not intend to assess that other function (unless the Sponsor would like FDA to consider the positive impact of the other function in FDA's assessment of the device function-under-review). Therefore, an approved or cleared device may include functionality that FDA has not assessed. FDA intends to include a statement in the 510(k) Summary, PMA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (SSED), De Novo Summary, or HDE Summary of Safety and Probable Benefit (SSPB, making the extent of the product's assessment clear.
The FDA recommends that, when possible, the device function subject to the FDA's premarket review should be separated from other functions of the device, and that the higher the degree of separation, the easier it is for the agency to independently review it for safety and effectiveness.

Q: How can I get a CSS value in its original unit with javascript? Considering getPropertyValue() only return units in px, as far as I know, I wonder if there is a way, to get a CSS value, given by any way (inline CSS, external stylesheet…) in its original unit (em, vw, %).

let el = document.querySelector('div')
let cs = window.getComputedStyle(el)
let height = cs.getPropertyValue('height')
el.innerText = height + " \n(I need to get 20vh)"
div{
  width:200px;
  height:20vh;
  background:LawnGreen;
}

[edit] Not a duplicate of Get element CSS property (width/height) value as it was set (in percent/em/px/etc) as it seems to focus on em and % and as it is almost 10 years old, it ignores vh, and vw, and so are the answers.

A: Just for fun - this is wildly inefficient, but you could parse each stylesheet, check if each rule matches the element, if it does, add the rule to a list of matches.  Then, for each match, check if setting the inline style of that element to that rule changes the computed value, if it doesn't, assume that is the rule in use:

const getCssActualValue = (el, property) => {
  const matches = new Set();
  const allCSS = [...document.styleSheets]
    .map(styleSheet => {
      try {
        return [...styleSheet.cssRules]
          .map(rule => rule.cssText)
          .join('');
      } catch (e) {
        console.log('Access to stylesheet %s is denied. Ignoring...', styleSheet.href);
      }
    })
    .filter(Boolean)
    .map(rule => rule.split('}'))
    .forEach((styleSheet) => {
        styleSheet.forEach((rule) => {
            const [selector, styles] = rule.split(' {');
            try {
                if (selector && el.matches(selector)) {
                    styles.split(';').map(el => el.trim()).forEach((rule) => {
                        const [prop, val] = rule.split(': ')
                        if (prop === property) {
                            matches.add(val);
                        }
                    });
                }
            } catch {}
        });
    });
    return Array.from(matches);
  }

  const getCurrentCssValue = (el, property) => {
    const matches = getCssActualValue(el, property);
    const current = getComputedStyle(el)[property];
    const currentInline = el.style[property];
    for (const match of matches) {
        el.style[property] = match;
        if (getComputedStyle(el)[property] === current) {
            el.style[property] = currentInline;
            console.log({match});
            return match;
        }
    }
    el.style[property] = currentInline;
    return currentInline;
  }

  const property = 'height';
  const el = document.getElementById('test');
  el.innerText = getCurrentCssValue(el, property);
#test{
  width:200px;
  height:20vh;
  background:LawnGreen;
}

National Gas Turbine Establishment
Coordinates: 51°16′59″N 0°48′26″W / 51.282957°N 0.807098°W / 51.282957; -0.807098 The National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE Pyestock) in Fleet, part of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), UK was the prime site in the UK for design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. It was created by merging the design teams of Frank Whittle's Power Jets and the RAE turbine development team run by Hayne Constant. NGTE spent most of its lifetime as a major testing and development center, both for experimental developments as well as supporting the major commercial engine companies.
Like many companies at this time, the newly merged venture was nationalised, and the search for a suitable site for turbine development began. Pyestock, a former golf course in a secluded wooded spot between Farnborough and Fleet was chosen, as the activities at the NGTE would be top secret and (one presumes) the surrounding woodland would dampen the phenomenal noise. Construction began in 1949, but the site was not as we know it. Instead of the massive test cells there today, testing was done on a much smaller scale in test "cubicles" inside buildings like the Plant House. When the possibility of supersonic jets arose, the site underwent a massive expansion to the north west, with the massive Air House and several huge test cells being built circa 1961.
For over 50 years Pyestock was at the forefront of gas turbine development and was almost certainly the largest site of its kind in the world. V bomber, Harrier and Tornado engines were all rigorously tested on site, the power of the air house allowed Concorde's engines to be tested at 2,000 mph, every single gas turbine installed in the Royal Navy were checked here, captured Soviet engines were discretely examined - and all this on terra firma, without a single plane taking off.
NGTE Pyestock closed down in 2000. The Pyestock campus is now in the state of being decommissioned pending the building of a large business/industrial park.

2.1 Air House
2.2 Cell 3
2.3 Cell 3 West
2.5 Number 9 Exhauster
3 Filmography
In 1942 the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Turbine Division moved to new facilities in Pyestock. In 1944 Power Jets Ltd. (set up by Frank Whittle and two colleagues in 1936) merged with the RAE Turbine Division and was nationalised to form Power Jets (Research and Development) Ltd. In 1946 it was reconstituted as a division of the Ministry of Supply to form the National Gas Turbine Establishment.
The Admiralty Marine Engineering Establishment (formerly the Admiralty Fuel Experimental Station which developed the Admiralty three-drum boiler) was taken over by the NGTE in 1965.
Following the 1971 creation of the Ministry of Defence Procurement Executive, both the Admiralty Engineering Laboratory (1917-1977) and the Admiralty Oil Laboratory (1953-1977) were amalgamated within the NGTE.[1] In 1995 the establishment became part of DERA.[2] The establishment closed in 2000.
Air House
The Air House is an incredibly modern structure for 1961. The eastern side is sheet glass, and there are eight huge blue exhaust pipes rising the full length of the building that correspond to the eight compressor/exhauster sets inside. Those iconic blue pipes lead away from the building, which transported the fast moving air to/from the test cells.
The Air House had two functions; either blowing air or sucking air, all at very high speeds. It could produce wind speeds of up to 2,000 mph for Cell 4. There are eight identical GEC compressor/exhauster sets which aggregated to 352,000 horsepower, which was believed to be the largest installation of its kind in the western world.
This is the final design for the compressor/exhauster sets from the late 1950s. They are made up of an in-line arrangement (from left to right) of an 8,000 horsepower steam turbine, then two low-pressure compressors, a high-pressure exhauster, a 27MW 11kV synchronous motor that provided 36,000 horsepower, and finally the barring gear and the exciter (a small generator that provides a current needed to start the main motor).
The 8,000 horsepower steam turbine, which was powered by the sites boiler house, gave the compressor sets a kick start before it was synced with the grid. They could also be used whilst they were being run but this was expensive and only used on the supersonic tests.
Cell 3
Cell 3 is mostly underground and is a supersonic replacement of Cell 2, allowing for higher speeds and a greater engine temperature range. There is a fairly large building above ground. But that was just to allow engines to be lowered into the test chamber from a huge crane. The test chamber itself is almost entirely underground.
Cell 3 West
Cell 3 West is one of the more recognisable buildings at Pyestock despite its comparatively small size, due to the large blue and white round opening on the front of the test chamber. The last altitude test cell built on site, Cell 3 West is just that - west of Cell 3. Although not as physically large as the other cells, it was one of the largest internally allowing icing tests (testing to see how ice affects a turbines performance) to be carried out on engines and helicopter rotors. Behind the large white opening on the above picture is the test chamber, a large round space full of pipes, wires, nozzles, control panels and air vents. The engine or turbine would be suspended from a black structure on the roof of the cell, and the air would be blasted through the black pipe at the rear. There was a widespread rumour that the cells structure was actually a submarines hull.
The largest test cell on site and also the most featureless (externally, that is!), Cell 4 was built in 1965, at a cost of £6.5 million, as part of the Concorde programme but also to test other supersonic jet engines. The massive test cell, unique in the world, takes up most of the huge steel clad structure and looks almost unreal with its mass of pipes, blast doors and electronics. It is connected to the Air House by those notorious blue pipes and was designed to simulate Concorde's flying conditions - Mach 2 (1522 mph) at 61,000 feet, but could test Concorde's engines at a maximum wind speed of 2,000 mph.
The sheer amount of energy required to run the air house (see below) at the speed needed was too great for the sites small power station to cope with. This meant that, although the power station could be used as an additional "top up", electricity had to be taken from the National Grid - an exceptionally difficult task. By the early 1970s, Pyestock had to negotiate with the CEGB, the Central Electricity Generating Board - the national electricity supplier - simply to have enough electricity generated. So as not to put such a strain on the grid, Cell 4 could only realistically be powered up at night.
Number 9 Exhauster
Pyestock's designers built the Air House on a huge scale, thinking it could supply adequate suction for the supersonic test cells. But they could not have anticipated the phenomenal force required by Cell 4 - even with all eight exhausters running the suction was insufficient. Their solution was to build another exhauster set (an exhauster is a large turbine that sucks air at very high speed) directly next to Cell 4. As there are eight in the Air House, this one was named number 9.
It is a Parsons "multi-stage axial-flow exhauster". It was used mainly by Cell 4 but also occasionally by Cell 3 and Cell 3 West. It was driven by a 6,000 horsepower synchronous motor, with power being taken first from the sites Power Station, and then when 3,000 rpm was reached it was synchronised with the National Grid.

Pyestock was used for several scenes in the 2005 film Sahara by Breck Eisner, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Clive Cussler. Internal sections of Cell 3 and Cell 4 and were suitably reworked for the film. These were to represent the internal working of the solar powered waste disposal facility that was the source of the pollution illness that is the main thread throughout the film.

Task: You are required to create and submit an ePortfolio. An ePortfolio gives your reader insight into your learning and experiences throughout a semester or within a minor/major program; it can also be shared with employers and graduate schools. You might think of this assignment as an opportunity for you to teach readers about how to interpret evidence of learning. Given that framework, you will want to be candid, specific, and evidence-based in your approach.As you compile the various sections of the ePortfolio, you will be asked to include various artefacts and explain how these artefacts illustrate your achievement of various learning outcomes and requirements of the unit. The e-portfolio construction process will allow you to reflect on where you were at the beginning of the semester, the steps you took during the semester, where you are now, and where you would like to be in the future.You will be provided with access to self-help resources and additional information during the tutorials/workshops to guide the production of your ePortfolio, including demonstration of quality ePortfolios that have been previously submitted.

Jul 2, 2019 | News
Facebook recently announced that it would be paying consumers to track their online behaviour. The new app, known as Study, will be available from Google's Play store and consumers that are willing to give up their privacy can download it enabling the social media giant to monitor how they interact with their competitors. So far it hasn't been announced how much consumers will receive in return for this information. However, in a previous iteration Facebook paid consumers $20 per month for similar access to their online behaviour.
Already industry pundits are calling into question what this means for privacy and whether it is in breach of GDPR and goes against what new ePrivacy laws will likely advocate. Apple, for instance is refusing to host the app on its iStore as it goes against its new corporate privacy policy. Others, however, are congratulating Facebook for their attempt at transparency when it comes to the use of clicks and likes in analytics and subsequent marketing initiatives.
From a data perspective what is interesting about this new app is the precedence that it could set. If it proves popular will consumers, will they start demanding payment for their personal information? Ten years ago a study was conducted investigating the price tag consumers placed on their personal information. Home address data was found to be the most valuable with name and email address the least valuable. The study also found that if consumers could monetise their information in return for payment or a better customer experience, over 60 per cent would be happy to sell out their privacy. Fast forward a decade, it will be interesting to see how the reality of cash for data manifests itself. If it becomes the norm the onus on preference centres will become far greater. Rather than just being a place where customers can control their marketing preferences they could potentially become a marketplace for consumers to sell their data in exchange for discounts, preferential treatment or currency. Of course this is not going to happen overnight, but organisations that haven't already implemented a preference centre should consider it more seriously moving forwards.
If you want to know and understand more about the way data is changing the world you live in, or would like to know how data can add value to your business, please email me at david.gurney@alchemetrics.co.uk

Q: Getting an error on my (first ever) CardGameViewController I'm getting the error incompatible pointer types assigning to Deck *__strong from PlayCards *
And i'm not sure why is that. Its in the first method implemented (deck):
#import "CardGameViewController.h"
#import "PlayingCards.h"

@interface CardGameViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *cardLabel;
@property (nonatomic) NSUInteger flipsCount;
@property (strong, nonatomic) Deck *deck;
@end

@implementation CardGameViewController

-(Deck *) deck {

    if (!_deck) _deck = [[PlayingCards alloc] init];
    return _deck;
}

-(void) setFlipsCount:(NSUInteger)flipsCount {

    _flipsCount = flipsCount;
    self.cardLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Flips:%d", self.flipsCount];

}

- (IBAction)flipCard:(UIButton *)sender {

    sender.selected = !sender.isSelected;

    self.flipsCount++;

}

@end

This is the header file(nothing going on here):
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
//#import "Card.h"
//#import "Deck.h"
//#import "PlayingCards.h"

@interface CardGameViewController : UIViewController

@end

And the PlayingCard class inheriting from Deck class..
this is the PlayingCards.m
#import "PlayingCards.h"

@implementation PlayingCards

@synthesize suit = _suit;

//modifying the contents getter so it will return array with the ranks and rank+suit
-(NSString *) contents {

    NSArray *cardsRank = [PlayingCards rankStrings];

    return [cardsRank[self.rank] stringByAppendingString:self.suit];
}

//creating a method to make sure we get validated suits
+(NSArray *) validSuit {

    return @[@"♠",@"♣",@"♥",@"♦"];
}

//creating calss method to validate the rank
+(NSArray *) rankStrings {

    return @[@"?",@"A",@"2",@"3",@"4",@"5",@"6",@"7",@"8",@"9",@"10",@"J",@"Q",@"K"];
}

//creating a new setter for suit to make sure we get the valitated suits, uding the validateSuit method
-(void) setSuit:(NSString *)suit {

    if ([[PlayingCards validSuit] containsObject:suit]) {
        _suit = suit;
    }
}

//creating new getter for suit to make sure its not empty
-(NSString *) suit {

    return _suit? _suit: @"?";
}

//creating a class method to make sure when user set the rank he will will
+(NSUInteger) maxRank {

    return [self rankStrings].count - 1;

}

//creating a new setter to the renk to make sure the rank is validates
-(void) setRank:(NSUInteger)rank {

    if (rank <= [PlayingCards maxRank]) {

        _rank = rank;
    }
}

@end

PlayingCards.h
#import "Card.h"
#import "Deck.h"

@interface PlayingCards : Card

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *suit;
@property (nonatomic) NSUInteger rank;

+(NSArray *) validSuit;

+(NSUInteger) maxRank;

@end

A: This line:
if (!_deck) _deck = [[PlayingCards alloc] init];

Should be:
if (!_deck) _deck = [[PlayingCardDeck alloc] init];

A: If the parent for Card is of class NSObject as you say, and given that PlayingCards inherits from Card, then you can't assign an instance of PlayingCards to a variable of type Deck*. That's what the compiler is telling you.
If you really need to do it, you have to write:
 if (!_deck) _deck = (Deck*)[[PlayingCards alloc] init];

It would only be valid because in Objective-C the implementation is given at runtime and which method of which class is called is only decided at runtime when the message is dispatched. However, this pattern is very unusual and you better be certain that PlayingCards is implementing all the selectors that might be called on a Deck instance. A better way would be to use protocols.
You can define a protocol and then use:
id <myProtocol> deck = [[PlayingCards alloc] init];

Put in the protocol all the selectors you need.
Why can't you use this ?
PlayingCards* deck = [[PlayingCards alloc] init];


Luke Newell flew to Muluma and Bosavi bringing vital supplies. His first aid skills were put to good use when a man at the airstrip asked for help.
The flight piloted by Luke Newell, left Mount Hagen in the early morning bound for Muluma and Bosavi.
On board was a cargo of rice and water for the communities around Bosavi airstrip, plus a carepack with soap, hygiene items and pots and plates to Muluma, home to around 4,000 people.
The need is increasing in areas like Muluma and Bosavi as surrounding communities leave their homes and seek assistance at the airstrip. people continue to arrive scared by the aftershocks that continue to rock their homes and gardens.
A large aftershock, 6.3. – 6.7 on Richter scale, occurred just after midnight on 7 March destroying a few houses and damaged others. So when pilot Luke Newell arrived with his cargo of relief items for distribution on the ground he was welcomed with open arms.


My intro to Nick Knite came in the form of two very loveable monsters, Evil Icy and Tongue Toastie. These two creatures were a part of the awesome book, Papertoy Monsters, a cornerstone publication for us paper fiends out there featuring Nick and 24 other artists. In my pursuit of more toys from the designers in this book, I then found Nick's signature toy, Mechabunny, and I've been a fanboy ever since. Well Nick has his own book now, and like Papertoy Monsters, his is a collection of toys from some of the game's best.
And the best part? It's robots! The artist list is a collection of some of my favorites, the designers who contributed to my love of paper toys. Included are toys from Tougui, Dolly Oblong, Marko Zubak, Shin Tanaka, Matt Hawkins, Abz, 3eyedbear, and even some from the curator himself, making this a must-have collection for any paper toy fan, or robot fan, or hell, any fan of cool amazing toys. The book isn't just about the toys, it has; a great intro by none other than Andy Heng, back stories for each 'bot, and instructions for better toy making, all making for a great read before you even get to the art of cut fold glue.
Q1: What (who?) is the coolest robot of all time?
I think my first idea and answer to that would be Data from Star Trek, i always liked that character and his struggle to be as human as he can. Also his strength and brain-power make him the best in my book. Although the "coolest" one would be Futurama's Bender Bending Rodriguez! I also really like Marvin from "The Hitchhiker's Guide.." and the coolest real robot is ASIMO by Honda.. man, how I would love to own one of these!!
Q2: Do you have your contingency plan in place for when Skynet goes online?
I am still working on that survival guide for myself. So, if they could take some more time to go online..that would be rrrreally nice. Thanks!
Q3: What's the one human quality all robots should have?
Q4: What's the one robotic trait all humans should have?
Also a tough one... be more rational, logical and unemotional, that would mean less wars and less fights amongst other things, but would also take a lot of fun from being human and making mistakes and learning from them. But maybe that is one thing that could be good, "learning from mistakes", filing it under failures and never doing them again.
Q5: You put a lot of time and passion into the book, when did that moment arrive when it was all worth it?
I think it already started being worth it, when I received the first bots for the book from the artists involved. It got better with each one of them, because they are all so different and unique. But of course, when i got the first print of the book and saw that it turned out the way we had hoped for, that was indeed the best moment to me!
If you're interested in getting your hands on this most decidedly awesome collection of robots, you can get it HERE. By visiting that link, in addition to purchase options, you'll also discover a few free teaser toys for download.

Steve Francis Accused Of Sexual Assault
Former basketball star Steve Francis is being accused of sexual assaulting a woman in Texas last year.
According to reports by TMZ:
Francis allegedly "groped" a 20-year-old woman through her clothing in May 2010 … and the woman immediately went to the cops to file a complaint.
The alleged victim tells TMZ … she is a singer who was signed to Steve's record label and on the day of the alleged incident, she had met Steve at an office to discuss her contract.
The woman, Shauna Simien, tells us the "groping" while the two were talking outside, when Francis reached down and grabbed her between the legs.
Simien claims she screamed for him to stop — and that's when a few of her friends, whom she brought along for protection, rushed over to break things up.
Despite the fact Simien filed her police report more than a YEAR ago, law enforcement sources tell TMZ the case is still open and no charges have been filed.
Simien says she is frustrated the case has not progressed and is considering a lawsuit against the District Attorney's office.

Eminem Lawsuit May Result In Higher Royalties For Veteran Artists!
F.B.T. Productions, the company that originally signed Eminem filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group that may help artists get more money from digital sales.
Em's original contract stated that individual songs sold online would count as a license rather than a sale.
A license would pay the artist 50 percent of the song while a sale would only relinquish 12 percent, which is what the Detroit rapper was being paid.
The Supreme Court ruled against the appeal filed by UMG since they lost the case last year and now what is estimated to be around a $20 million value in unpaid royalties shall increase to somewhere around $50 million within the next decade.
So what does this mean? It affects the artists that had contracts way before digital sales existed.
The language in that paperwork may only be granting some singers, rappers and musicians a sale royalty rate instead of a licensing one that would increase their income.
There are heavily downloaded songs that labels are benefiting from in today's declining record industry.
UMG most likely set off a warning for majors to take action before artists catch wind. Stay tuned.

Matthew Knowles No Longer Manages Beyonce!
Beyonce has officially announced that her father Matthew Knowles will no longer manage her.
The ex-Destiny's Child singer made the announcement Monday and her father has since responded with a statement claiming that the split was amicable.
"The decision for Beyonce and Music World Entertainment to part was mutual. We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment.
Currently, I am very focused on the tremendous investment that our record label has made in the gospel/inspirational genre of music and on our supremely talented roster of artists, including Trin-i-tee 5:7, Brian Courtney Wilson, Juanita Bynum, Micah Stampley, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Pastor Rudy and others.
Music World will continue its partnership with Sony with Destiny's Child and UK female group From Above, as well as management. We will also continue to develop the Music World family of labels: Music World Country/Compadre, Music World Kids and Music World Music. In Music World's repositioning it will not continue its label/management role with Columbia/Sony artist Tiffany Evans.
Business is business and family is family. I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success."

Since the mid-1980s, the civil war between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has caused great suffering to the people of Acholiland in northern Uganda. Marked by child-abductions and widespread forced displacement, it has become linked to larger geopolitical interests – particularly the conflict in Southern Sudan. A meaningful peace process remains elusive.
The update to Accord Issue 11 Initiatives to end the violence in northern Uganda: 2002-09 and the Juba peace process, published in 2010 reviews and analyses peacebuilding developments related to the LRA conflict since the original publication, notably the flawed Juba peace process. A French version is also available.
The original Accord Issue 11 Protracted conflict, elusive peace: initiatives to end the violence in northern Uganda, published in 2002 documents the history of peacemaking initiatives by local officials, elders and the international community in efforts to resolve this conflict. It captures the complex story of how each failure to consolidate and put in place the agreements has led to more violence and deepened mistrust between the LRA and the government.
This Accord publication also contains the full texts of relevant peace agreements, a chronology of the conflict and peace process, and profiles of the key people and groups involved.
This issue of Accord was edited by Okello Lucima.
