GP (HK)'s World-wide Innovative Drug STC3141 Got Approval for Phase II Clinical Research on COVID-19 ARDS and Phase IB Clinical Research on Sepsis, High-quality Product Contributes to Global Epidemic Prevention & Control
Corporate News 2,040
(May 6, 2020, Hong Kong) China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited ("GP (HK)" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group", stock code: 00512) is pleased to announce that, Grand Medical Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group and a new drug research center established in Australia, is developing a world-wide innovative drug STC3141 for the treatment of sepsis. Recently it was approved to commence phase II clinical research in Australia for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) suffered by COVID-19 patients ("COVID-19 ARDS"), and also the phase Ib clinical research for the treatment of sepsis.
STC3141 has completed the phase Ia clinical research for healthy volunteers, and the primary results proved the safety and metabolic characteristics. The phase II COVID-19 ARDS clinical research will be conducted among crucial patients of COVID-19 in intensive care unit and for the research and assessment of safety and effectiveness for the treatment of ARDS suffered by COVID-19 patients. And the phase Ib clinical research for sepsis will further access the safety and metabolic properties of this product among patients suffering sepsis.
Sepsis is a disorder of immune response resulted from infection. It will cause organ dysfunction which is life threatening. Sepsis is a fatal complication frequently resulted from serious infection due to burn, trauma and major surgery and always in tumor patients. Every year there are over 19 million new sepsis cases around the world. Also the treatment cost for sepsis is expensive, and the consumption of medical resources is huge. Sepsis is a large risk to human health and is a great burden, but there is no specific drug available in the market at present, which shows there is an urgent need, whilst the market prospect is enormous.
The Board of China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited, commented: "On March 22, the Group obtained rights of technical and intellectual property for the world-wide first developed drug APAD from Chongqing AnTi New Bio-technology Limited, which is used for the treatment of Sepsis. The approval for phase Ib clinical research on sepsis may facilitate the development of drug STC3141 for sepsis in line with the expected timetable. APAD and STC3141 will jointly boost the development of the Group in the treatment of Sepsis and achieve synergies to enhance the Group's innovative competitiveness in the field of emergency medicine. And the approval for kick-off the phase II clinical research of COVID-10 ARDS may push it to be one of the new candidate in the COVID-19 ARDS treatment aspect with fastest progress around the world. This may speed up the global development of this product against multi-indications, provide solutions to more patients and make contribution towards global epidemic prevention and control. In the future, the Group will continue to focus on enriching high-quality products and enhancing the competitiveness of the Group's innovative products. Furthermore, the Group will emphasize on corporate social responsibility to reward shareholders and society with good financial performance and corporate image."

Joachim 1. Nestor (21. februar 1484 – 11. juli 1535) var kurfyrste af Brandenburg fra 1499 til 1535.

Ægteskab
Som 16-årig blev han den 5. februar 1500 forlovet i Kiel med den 15-årige Elisabeth af Danmark, datter af Kong Hans af Danmark og Christine af Sachsen. På grund af deres unge alder blev brylluppet først afholdt den 10. april 1502 i Stendal i Brandenburg. Da brylluppet fandt sted midt under kong Hans' krig med Sverige, og mens Dronning Christine var under belejring i Stockholm, blev bruden ført af sin farbror, hertug Frederik af Gottorp (den senere Frederik 1. af Danmark), der samme dag blev gift med kurfyrst Joachims søster Anna.

Building the Cohesion Alliance
12/10/2017 | Cohesion policy reform
In the context of this year's European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC), the Committee of Regions (CoR) has officially launched the "Cohesion Alliance", a coalition of stakeholders for a strong and efficient cohesion policy in the future.
Eight months before of the presentation of the proposal for the EU budget post-2020, the alliance of regions and cities aims to point out the importance of cohesion policy and argues that neither Brexit nor the increased funding of other policy areas should undermine it. In the conference with the theme "Building the Cohesion Alliance" on 11 October in Brussels, experts on cohesion policy as well as representatives of cities and regions contributed with their testimonials.
"The fight for cohesion policy has only just begun" said Dr. Michael Schneider, CoR rapporteur on the Future of Cohesion policy beyond 2020 , highlighting that investment in cohesion policy has indeed achieved positive tangible results, for example, in job creation and GDP growth and in the reduction of regional disparities. In addition, he stressed, cohesion policy serves as a powerful expression of European solidarity since it gives all citizens, irrespective of their place of residence, an opportunity to experience the benefits of the EU.
For these reasons, Mr Schneider concluded that cohesion policy must continue to be an effective long-term investment tool with sufficient resources to which at least one third of the future EU budget should be allocated. In order to reach that goal, he pleaded for an increased cooperation with other European institutions.
According to Stefano Bonaccini, President of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) and governor of the Emilia-Romagna Region, "structural funds have changed the living environment of many regions, in terms of employment, industry, administration, infrastructures, skills, green areas, and enterprises." To make cohesion policy even more efficient, he advocates more flexible rules in order to adapt the investments' choice to each territorial context: "For instance, common thematic objectives or investment priorities should be determined according to local and regional needs, not uniformly earmarked at EU level."
A similar stance was taken by Daniël Termont, President of Eurocities and Mayor of Ghent. Representing the perspective of cities, he pledges that in the future cities must be involved in shaping policy priorities since mayors are aware the most pressing local challenges. That way, cohesion policy could even produce more benefits that it already does. "As Mayors, we clearly see the results of cohesion policy in our cities. In brief, it allows cities to take their responsibility in making a social Europe that works by creating perspective, offering work and social protection." For that reason, Termont argued, cohesion funds should continue to be allocated to all European cities, not only the poor ones.
Enrico Rossi , the Vice-President of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR) and President of Tuscany region, welcomed the attempt to speak up with one voice against a possible reduction in resources destined for cohesion - especially with regard to Brexit and re-allocations of the upcoming EU budget: "Surely there are new challenges such as immigration, security and defense, but cohesion policy cannot pay the bill". Mr. Rossi however also took a look on the perspective of the citizens and stressed that for the future a better communication of the importance of cohesion policy better to the citizens is needed. A good example on how that can be achieved comes from his own region: "In Tuscany, we are already doing it: We have produced a study which demonstrates with concrete examples the impact that the European Structural and Investment Funds have had on our territory during the last programming."
During the conference, Prof. Ugo Fratesi from the Politecnico di Milano presented the main ideas discussed in more than 120 EWRC workshops. These included efforts to increase the role of the citizen by better integrating them in local communities, to boost urban development and to establish new tools in the implementation of cohesion policy, most importantly the increased inclusion of regional and local authorities and non-state actors and a stronger cooperation of national and supranational levels. Moreover, Prof. Fratesi emphasized that a better communication of the importance and need of cohesion policy is needed in order to raise the awareness of the citizens about its benefits."
In his final and inspiring response to Fratesi's presentation, Mark Lemaitre's (DG Regio) appealed to be more proud of the European cohesion policy: "Cohesion policy is like the EU itself – more admired outside of the EU than inside. Indeed, other parts of the world are admiring its features such as public investment. We are ahead of our time and we have a potential which today is not fully exploited yet. Cohesion policy is a goldmine."
In the next eight month, the Cohesion Alliance invites municipalities, regions, universities and enterprises to sign their 10 key principles.

In this when i add the item in dropdown list it shows an error:"Dropdown list does not allow multiple seelection"
But when i used to print the selected item It shows null exception error.

A: Try to add new list items like that :
DropDownList11.Items.Add(
    new ListItem(ListBox1.SelectedItem.Text, ListBox1.SelectedItem.Value)
   );

Because you're adding the ListItem that selected by the ListBox, it's Selected property is true. Then you get this exception.

Яким Львович Волинський (літературний псевдонім, справжні прізвище, ім'я, по батькові — Хаїм Лейбович Флексер;  або 1 863, Житомир — 6 липня 1926, Ленінград) — літературний критик і мистецтвознавець; балетознавець.

Один із ранніх ідеологів російського модернізму, відомого спочатку під назвою «декадентства», що пізніше втілився у школах імпресіонізму та символізму.

Біографія
З 6-го класу Житомирської гімназії перевівся в 5-ту Санкт-Петербурзьку гімназію, після закінчення якої був зарахований на юридичний факультет Санкт-Петербурзького університету і відразу на стипендію, що для єврейського юнака було немислимим успіхом. Після закінчення університету йому запропонували залишитися на кафедрі державного права, але Волинський відмовився: «Я хочу бути не професором, а літератором». До цього часу він змінив прізвище «Флексер» на псевдонім «Волинський», яким підписав свою першу самостійну роботу «Теолого-політичне вчення Спінози».

Відразу ж після закінчення університету (1889) Волинський бере участь у журналі «Північний вісник», культивує перші паростки художнього модернізму. Тут він поміщає свою першу велику філософську статтю «Критичні і догматичні елементи філософії Канта» («Північний вісник», 1889, книги VI, IX—XII), яку розглядає як «спробу пропаганди критичного ідеалізму».

Цей критичний ідеалізм незабаром став гаслом відроджуваних наприкінці XIX століття серед російської інтелігенції філософських умонастроїв. Світоглядно ця філософія обґрунтовувала ідеї етичного індивідуалізму, які повинні були завдати удару «перевернутому догори ногами Гегелю», тобто марксизму, а у своїй суспільно-політичній програмі декларувала ідеї «буржуазної свободи» або їх анархо-романтичні різновиди (аж до приходу антихриста).

У мистецтві цей метафізичний індивідуалізм породжує імпресіонізм. Імпресіонізм сприймав світ тільки через відчуття художника, заперечуючи будь-яку реальність поза такого суб'єктивного його сприйняття. Зникає народницька віра в «освітнє» мистецтво, в мистецтво-істину, мистецтво морально-демократичних завдань. Йде мистецтво, відвертається від «питань суєтної політики» і цілком занурившись в містичні глибини суб'єктивних переживань.

Статті Волинського про «російських критиків», які друкувалися в «Північному віснику» в період 1890—1895 рр. під загальною назвою «Літературні нотатки» (і потім вийшли окремою книжкою: «Росіяни критики», Літературні нариси, СПб., 1896), різко повстають проти всякого позитивізму в мистецтві і в системі художньої думки.

Волинський виступав проти М. О. Добролюбова за те, що він не знав «ніяких широких захоплень з кипінням всіх почуттів», проти М. Г. Чернишевського за «грубість і невмілі» його «матеріалістичних положень», проти «реалістичного утилітаризму» Писарєва і т. д.

За «російських критиків» на Волинського свого часу жорстоко обрушився Г. В. Плеханов, який в статті «Долі російської критики» (у збірнику «За двадцять років», СПб., 1905; 2-е изд., СПб., 1906, 3-е изд., СПб., 1909; передруковано в збірнику статей «Література і критика», т. I, М., 1922 і в «Творах», т. X, Гіз, М., 1924; спочатку в «Новому слові», 1897, VII) показав, що якщо здається, що Волинський повністю подолав ті філософські гріхи, які накопичилися за російської громадської думки, то насправді відбувається щось зовсім інше.«Насправді ж його погляди є зведенням цих самих гріхів в квадрат, якщо не в четверту ступінь. Його теоретична філософія зводиться до абсолютно беззмістовним фразам; його практична філософія є не більше, як надзвичайно погана пародія на нашу "суб'єктивну соціологію"». Плеханов їдко висміяв і стиль Волинського.

Волинський визначає, наприклад, О. С. Пушкіна з таким імпресіоністським пафосом:«Світлий геній Пушкіна широкий і сумний, як російська природа. Роздолля без кінця, простір, необ'емлемий оком, нескінченні ліси, за якими пробігає таємничий шум, і в усьому цьому якесь мления невимовної туги і печалі, — такий геній російського життя, така російська душа».— і т. д. Або про М. В. Гоголя:«Всюди відчувається прагнення відірватися від земного життя, не залишає в душі нічого крім відчаю, пристрасний порив до неба з широко розкритими від жаху очима, які шукають притулку і порятунку для змученого серця».Соціально-філософський імпресіонізм тягне Волинського то до культу Леонардо да Вінчі, якому він присвячує велику і палку працю («Леонардо да Вінчі», видання Маркса, СПб., 1900; 2-е изд., Київ, 1909; спочатку в «Північному віснику», 1897—1898), то до якогось містично надривно захопленню Ф. М. Достоєвським («Книга великого гніву», СПб., 1904; «Царство Карамазових» , СПб., 1901; «Ф. М. Достоєвський», СПб., 1906; 2-е изд., СПб., 1909), то до схоластично-теософській проповіді «юдаїзму» в журналі «Новий шлях».

Широко освічений мистецтвознавець, Волинський багато уваги приділяв театру, на початку 1900-х років захопився балетом. У 1925 він випустив капітальну працю — «Книга ликований» (Азбука класичного танцю, Ленінград, видання Хореографічного технікуму) — присвячений обґрунтуванню і захисту класичного балету.

Очолював Ленінградський хореографічний технікум. Друкував ряд статей з питань мистецтва (переважно танцю) в ленінградському журналі «Життя мистецтва». Був головою правління ленінградського відділення Спілки письменників (1920—1924), головував у колегії «Всесвітньої літератури». Але своїм «етичним» і «естетичним» теоріям він залишався вірним до кінця свого життя, навіть в умовах кардинально змінилася соціальної обстановки.

У своїх останніх роботах Волинський ставить на чільне місце ідею синтезу релігій, перетворення їх усіх в якусь майбутню піднесену релігію, релігію світла, релігію сонця, релігію гіперборейську, про яку він мріяв багато років. Відстоюючи перспективність екуменізму, Волинський вважав, що єврейство і християнство зіллються в майбутню спільну релігію і відкрито проголошував свої очікування (паралель з Вірою Багаї).

Сім'я
Незадовго до революції став чоловіком тоді ще юної, майбутньої прославленої балерини Ольги Спесивцевої, надавши на неї велике творчий вплив; шлюб, по всій видимості, не була оформленим, цивільним. Після революційного перевороту Ольга Спесивцева розлучилася з ним і стала дружиною працівника Петросовета Б. Г. Каплуна.

У літературі
Яким Волинський тричі згадується в романі «Дар» В. Набокова. Його робота «Російські критики» (1896, 1908) багато в чому є джерелом 4-ї глави цього роману, присвяченій життєпису Чернишевського.

Згідно з коментаторами (Т. Микільська та В. Ерль), Волинський закодований як «покійний критик-імпресіоніст» в «Бамбочаде» К. Вагинова.

Кіновтілення
Образ А. Волинського у виконанні Михайла Козакова представлений у фільмі «Манія Жизелі» (1995, реж. А. учитель).

Rick's Perspective
A real contradiction in terms this, but nevertheless it seemed like a good idea at the time. A mixture of instrumental versions of both solo tracks and YES tracks it has its moments, but not enough of them for me really.
Wakey's Verdict
Seemed like a good idea at the time even though I'd stopped drinking way before I started recording!!!
Little Known Trivia
The drum track on Starship Trooper was inadvertently erased from the master tapes by the engineer who will remain nameless, (but who is often called Stuart Sawney). It took more than a week to replace what Tony Fernandez had done electronically. (Tony had gone on holiday at the end of the recording and so was unavailable to come back to the studio).
Reniet Ramirez on 12th April 2000 [Other reviews]
It's nice to hear Rick playing his versions of some YES songs. Also a song like "Gone but not forgotten" had made me cry almost everytime I hear it. But I don't think it's right to call this a Hits album when 50% of it is "Journey..." divided in small INSTRUMENTAL pieces.
Max Hult on 14th January 2000 [Other reviews]
Disc one is a bit too soft. The Journey is very good, musically. What's not so good about this 2-cd is the sound. It sounds as if Wakeman played through some MIDI program on the computer. Merlin the Magician is far from as good as the original, but still quite nice. You really miss an orchestra, or at least a band, throughout the whole album.
Bob Perry on 4th October 1999 [Other reviews]
Oh dear. One of those, "If you've heard the original - don't bother with this!" albums. I was sorely dissappointed only because I have the originals - losing Jon Anderson was like losing your fingers (- you can eat but its a struggle!) I liked the updated sounds, but the vocal tracks have been replaced by a feedback lead guitar sample, which desperately needed some pitch bend and vibrato to add the human touch. Unfortunately, this album sounded like it was produced by my XGMidi card. Still, after listening to it, I did want to buy my Allied Carpet!
Gregory Dietz on 17th September 1998 [Other reviews]
I have mixed feelings about this CD. All of the tracks are good in their own right, however, some suffer from comparison to previous versions. On the original Wondrous Stories, Rick's work on the Polymoog was spectacular - see the video if you have any doubts. On the originals of Siberian Khatru and especially Madrigral, Rick's use of the harpsichord was highly melodic and seemed to add a texture that is missing from these version - could he have overdubbed the original melodies? In comparison, these versions sound almost like Elevator music. So what's good?... "Going for the One" and the entire second disk, with the exception of a subdued Gone but Not Forgotten, however, these exceptions seem to confirm the opinion that Rick sometimes plays below his ability. If you already own the "true" greatest hits, "VOYAGE", and the YES originals of the remakes, this CD may gather dust.
Downeast Bruce on 27th July 1997 [Other reviews]
Disc 1: Don't Kill the Whale is absolutely superb! Disc 2: The totally instrumental arrangement of "Journey..." is incredible! In fact, I like it better than the original (I know, "hard to believe"). Catherine of Aragon only makes me wish that Rick would release a 25th anniversary of the 6 Wives.. done in the same style as this version. For some strange reason, when I listen to "Sea Horses", I visualize MIR & the Space Shuttle doing their "Ballet in Space" - the first docking maneuvers between the two.
Time Lady Rabeca on 21st March 1997 [Other reviews]
The first CD in this set features some of Rick's best work with Yes, the second hilights his solo work. Both are completely instrumental, and overall it is a very mellow set. I like the style he redid the Yes material in -- just be prepared to drink a few cups of coffee if you need to stay awake, it tends to be a bit *too* relaxing at times :)


The BCA Green Mark Scheme was launched in January 2005 as an initiative to drive Singapore's construction industry towards more environment-friendly buildings. It is intended to promote sustainability in the built environment and raise environmental awareness among developers, designers and builders when they start project conceptualisation and design, as well as during construction.
Developers, building owners and government agencies would have to submit an application form to BCA to register their interest in participating in the BCA Green Mark Scheme.
BCA assessment team will have a preliminary meeting with the project team or building management team to brief on the criteria and request for relevant reports and documentary proofs to substantiate the subsequent submissions. The pre-assessment is optional if the project team is familiar with the criteria, save for incentive project.
Actual assessment will be conducted on a later date once the team are ready. The assessment will include design and documentary reviews as well as site verification. Documentary evidences are to be submitted at the end of the assessment. Upon completion of the assessment, a letter of award showing the certification level of the projects will be sent to the team.
For information on Certification Course for Green Mark Manager and courses on sustainability (green building technology), please call : BCA Academy at 6248 9999 or visit the webpage on list of courses.

Daily Telegraph: BP 'ignored safety risks over refinery disaster'
(Lord Browne: facing demands to testify in a Texas court)
By Russell Hotten, Industry Editor Last Updated: 1:11am GMT 31/10/2006
An interim report into a fatal oil refinery explosion accuses BP of ignoring "catastrophic safety risks" and of knowing about "significant safety problems" at another 34 facilities around the world.
The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB), which publishes the damning findings today, believes that BP may have been aware for years of major problems at its Texas City refinery, which exploded in March last year killing 15 workers and injuring 180.
The report will add weight to demands by a US judge that Lord Browne, the BP chief executive, testify in a Texas court, as the company has denied knowing of critical safety concerns before the blast.
BP now accepts that there were failings at the Texas facility, and has set aside $1.6bn (£840m) to compensate victims of what was America's worst industrial accident for a decade. While BP has settled with many families of victims, Eva Rowe, whose parents died, is determined to take BP to court to avoid aspects of the case being kept secret.
The CSB report praises BP's co-operation with investigators and attempts to improve safety since the explosion, but this will be drowned out by the board's stinging verdict on the way Texas City operated.
advertisementCommenting ahead of today's publication of the report, Carolyn Merritt, the CSB chairman, said: "The CSB's investigation shows that BP's global management was aware of problems with maintenance, spending and infrastructure well before March 2005. BP did respond with a variety of measures aimed at improving safety. However, the focus of many of these initiatives was on improving procedural compliance and reducing occupational injury rates, while catastrophic safety risks remained.
"Unsafe and antiquated equipment designs were left in place, and unacceptable deficiencies in preventative maintenance were tolerated."
In an earlier report the CSB, one of several US agencies investigating the blast, said Texas City had been using obsolete equipment already phased out in most refineries and chemical facilities.
The blast was caused when flammable vapours ignited. The CSB has found eight previous instances between 1994 and 2004 when flammable vapours could have caused a similar explosion.
The CSB cites a 2003 external BP audit of Texas City which said the infrastructure and assets were "poor". And the CSB says that in a further BP report in 2004 the company found another 34 operations with "widespread tolerance of noncompliance with basic safety rules".
Industry analysts have been concerned that during the years when oil prices were low, companies cut back on maintenance.
Ms Merritt appears to agree, saying: "BP implemented a 25pc cut on fixed costs from 1998 to 2000 that adversely impacted maintenance expenditure and infrastructure at the refinery."
A BP spokesman said: "We agree with the CSB that the Texas City explosion was a preventable tragedy but we do not understand the basis of some of the comments from the CSB."
He said the company would wait until the final report was published before commenting further.
Lord Browne has instigated a worldwide review of BP's operations, not just because of Texas City. The company has suffered leakages at a facility in Alaska, and faces allegations of rigging the oil market.
Today's preliminary findings are the first major update since a CSB report a year ago. The board is not expected to publish its final report before March next year.

Listen and read proof in audio and transcript form of Shell CEO Ben van Beurden's cover-up tactics in the OPL 245 Nigerian corruption scandal. The instruction given by him in the covertly recorded call to CFO Simon Henry was at odds with Shell's claimed core business principles. Cover-up and obstruction, instead of transparency and integrity, says Shell critic John Donovan

PRELUDE WHITE ELEPHANT: Shell has not revealed the cost of Prelude but analysts estimate the price tag has ballooned to as much as A$17bn ($13bn).

Peter Voser: The recent invasion of the US Capitol puts Trump's visit to Shell's Chemical plant in Pennsylvania in August 2019 in a completely different perspective. It's now appropriate to state that Shell has provided a political platform and support in kind to POTUS. Supporting political activities, providing facilities for political rallies and bribing a senior government official are a violation of Shell's own business principles and Code of Conduct. Various individuals have lodged complaints with the Shell global helpline alleging improper business conduct involving the RDS Chairman, the US Country Chair, US government relations and others. These have all been dismissed as "reporters expressing a political view". Shell should re-open the case and seek appropriate consequence management against those involved. But I suspect the perpetrators are the so-called untouchables to whom the business principles and code of conduct are not applicable. Shame on the Head of BID for not having the guts to take this further.
In reply to Peter Voser.
REPLY FROM JOHN DONOVAN
If you have any evidence to support your allegations, please email it to me via the email address on our Contact Us page and I will give Shell the opportunity to comment before publishing it all.
Bye bye Chad & Ben: Looking forward to your February "Strategic"'utterances. Also look forward to the announcement about your successors as CEO and Chair. A classic case of way too cosy non executive and executive branches. Time to move on from your nonsense! Especially for your employees.

LondonLad: Well "Fletcher" (aka "Escaped from C16Atraz"?) I no longer work in Shell but enjoy their lovely pension. So your crude comment fails to impress. As for Shell and its shareholders having made money from oil & gas I have absolutely now problems. Perhaps you and the likes of "Greta Thunderbirds are go" would prefer that we all lived in caves wearing loin cloths (made of course from animals that have died naturally) and walked everywhere?
Fletcher: LondonLad - you come across as a real Ben van Beurden panty sniffer. You don't happen to work in their spin machine by any chance? Oh and don't forget where Shell and the shareholders have made their money. (clue - it's black and gooey and highly combustible)
LondonLad: Well "Escaped from C16Atraz" you have got your facts wrong. United are 5th with a game in hand - that's hardly mid-table is it! I bet my friend MUSaint will feel equally annoyed. Saying that "Shell doesn't care at all about climate change" is also an incorrect statement, akin to some of the waffle that Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion and even David Attenborough make. I do however agree that it is a shame that more redundancies are on the way but in this Covid environment which company is free of this staffing issue (some of the UK supermarkets perhaps)? As a shareholder I am glad that the senior management is bottom line driven.
Escaped from C16Atraz: There are many parallels to be drawn between Shell and the one unbeatable Manchester United. Both are now mid table. Weak manager, senior players who are arrogant and only play for money, and have got rid of their most hard working players. Shell better get used to mediocrity. It doesn't care at all about climate change but Van Beurden will no doubt continue to sell more of the crown jewels to greenwash its reputation like the loony who heads BP.

YOU ARE HERE Home About Us » Rights Respecting Schools Unicef Gold award » Teaching and learning about, through and for rights Teaching and learning about, through and for rights
Abbey Court School is very proud to have achieved the Gold Award for Unicef's Right Respecting School Award. To achieve the award, the school has to demonstrate that it has met three 'strands': teaching and learning about, through and for rights.
About: Strand A – Teaching the whole school about rights
This involves the whole school knowing about children's rights, and then using the rights to improve the school and the children's general well-being. The whole school should also know about global issues.
How do we do this at Abbey Court?
Through our curriculum: children's rights and global issues are taught in all areas of the curriculum, in topics and individual lessons and activities, as well as in assemblies
Work on Eco-Schools Award and development of farm curriculum, with links made to basic rights
Staff training and meetings: focused on staff learning about the rights, and about how they can support pupils and parents to learn about these also
Resources about rights are used throughout the school and are on display
Through our newsletter and parent workshops! Supporting our parents/carers and the local community to learn about rights
Through: Strand B – Teaching through rights
The school has a rights respecting ethos and rights respecting classrooms. This involves not just learning about rights, but putting rights into practice every day, in everything that happens in school.
A 'rights respecting' ethos is embedded in everything we do!
High expectations of behaviour and respect towards each other – adults and pupils
Our Classroom Charters
School documents, including curriculum planning and policies, all take into account and refer to the rights of the child, and are followed in every day practice
Pupil Voice – all of our pupils are supported to communicate and learn how to express their own views and opinions, which are then acted upon.
For: Strand C – Teaching for rights
The school empowers its pupils to become active global citizens, by supporting them to develop knowledge of local and global issues related to rights, and then become ambassadors for rights, locally and globally.
Pupil Focus Groups enable our pupils to tell us what they want to change and how, and then pupils are supported to do this within school e.g. developing Complaints card, having more lunchtime clubs, making posters about bullying and online safety
Pupils are taught about different charities and participate in activities of their choice to help others e.g. donating food to homeless charities
The Eco-Committee has enabled pupils to identify how they can help to make a difference on global issues e.g. reducing the amount of plastic we use in school by campaigning to get rid of disposable plastic cups, and recycling paper and plastic waste
International Schools Projects and inclusion activities with other schools and local community
These are just some of the examples of all of the work that goes on all of the time at Abbey Court to ensure the rights of the child are at the heart of everything we do!


Many low-income Hispanic families meet the basic eligibility criteria for a range of public assistance programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Still, they remain less likely than other groups to use some of these programs. More than 90 percent of Hispanic children in low-income families are U.S.-born, even though half have a foreign-born parent. So as U.S. citizens, these children do not have eligibility restrictions based on immigration.
Our research suggests that many low-income Hispanic immigrant parents may have misconceptions about eligibility for public assistance, which may deter them from applying for aid. Thirty-six percent of legal permanent residents and nine percent of naturalized citizens reported ineligibility for public assistance due to immigration status.
Check out our brief, "How Hispanic Parents Perceive Their Need and Eligibility for Public Assistance," for more detail.

What might be the cause of the problem?

A: The issue is you need to add the appropriate jquery scripts along with your bootstrap.  All you need to do is add this to your code and it will work:

See it working here:

TradeGecko's integration with Shopify allows you to select which stock location to associate your integration with.
When orders are imported from Shopify to TradeGecko, the orders will be assigned to your selected stock location. Stock for products added to orders synced from Shopify will be taken from this location.
If you have the Multi Location functionality for your Shopify Platform, you can select and map either a single, multiple, or all Shopify locations to your TradeGecko Locations. Orders synced from Shopify to TradeGecko will be assigned to the locations as per the mapping between Shopify and TradeGecko Locations. The locations can be mapped within the Shopify App Settings > Locations tab. For each of the listed Shopify Locations, you can map the location to the TradeGecko locations within the Assign To drop-down.
For example, your Shopify location: New York can be mapped to your TradeGecko Location: Warehouse USA. Once mapped, and an order comes in from Shopify with the New York location assigned to the order, we will deduct the stock levels of your products from Warehouse USA in TradeGecko.
When a product is imported from Shopify to TradeGecko, the product's stock level from Shopify will be assigned to the selected stock location.
With Shopify Multi Location functionality, similar to the mapping of Order locations, for each Shopify Location, you can select and map a single or multiple TradeGecko locations to sync the Stock Levels (from TradeGecko to Shopify). You can select the location(s) from the Sync Range drop-down. If you have multiple locations selected, the sum of the stock levels from the multiple locations will be synced to the Shopify Location.
For example: You can map your Shopify Location: New York to both your TradeGecko Locations: Warehouse USA & Warehouse Canada. Once mapped, we will push the sum of stock levels from both Warehouse USA & Warehouse Canada to your Shopify Location: New York.
Your Shopify stock location is selected during installation and can be changed later through your Shopify integration's settings page. If you require more customized location logic, such as stock levels being summed across multiple locations, this can be configured in the settings page as well.
With Shopify Multi Location functionality, during installation, you will be prompted to map the locations for Order and Stock level sync. During the initial setup, the location you select will be used both for Order and Stock level sync between Shopify and TradeGecko. These settings can later be updated within the Locations tab of the Shopify App Settings. If you have created a new location on Shopify, you will be notified and prompted via email to map the new location to a TradeGecko location. By clicking on 'View Shopify Settings' button within the email, you will be re-directed to your Shopify App Location setting to complete the mapping of locations. It would be best to complete the mapping as soon as a new location has been created to avoid any Pending Orders and/or Stock Level discrepancies.
For more information on TradeGecko stock locations please see this article.


The Crazy Quilt Quarterly Spring Issue is out so it's time to curl up with a cuppa and indulge in a bit of eye candy and reading. Birds and birdlife is the theme for this issue with the cover artist being Allison Aller. As a quilter, teacher and author Allison Aller is well known and active in the CQ community. Allison Aller had a great knack of bringing modern techniques to contemporary crazy quilting.
The cover features a robbin sitting on a nest. Inside Allison Aller has generously described in text and photos how she made it covering what quilting traditions and techniques she drew upon to create the bird and its environment.
Inspiration, tutorials and tips are throughout the magazine. Linda Hopkins has shared information on printing on silk. A Bead and Feather Butterfly project by Nina Burnsides looks fun to do and Linda Hopkins shares her process to create a Beaded Bird. For something different and crazy quilting with a modern twist Kathleen Klein shares how she made a steampunk peacock.
For a great piece of contemporary crazy quilting Angela Blackledge has shared an inspirational piece with her Heart Art Quilt. Pam Peugh shares another inspirational 12 block crazy quilt " Bird Crazy" which was made as a round robbin project. There are some delightful birds on these blocks and I enjoyed ogling them.
Kathy Shaw has provided a free pattern and illustrated how it can be realised using different techniques. Throughout the magazine Pamela Kellog has sprinkled cross stitch designs that with the aid of waste canvas you can use in your crazy quilting. There are also vintage embroidery patterns with a bird theme.
The Crazy Quilt Quarterly Spring 2017 is a Magcloud publication and you can get it here. As a printed version which retails for 14.95 US and a digital version for $6.95.

Killing 4E and Taking Its Stuff
Tags: dungeons and dragons, Pathfinder, rpgs
Coming Home to D&D
It's no secret that I like D&D 5E. I mean, I really, really like it. I had stated at the time 4E came out that I wanted the new edition to be basically a D&D version of Star Wars Saga Edition, and while I would have liked that, I actually like 5E better in almost every way. It's not perfect, probably no system can be, but it is still mighty good. Had 5E been what was released in 2008, I am pretty certain there would not have been the Edition Wars, and probably no Pathfinder Roleplaying Game either, for better or worse.
It's also no secret that I disliked D&D 4e. I mean, I really, really disliked it. All of that said, mechanically and conceptually, there is a fair amount of "the good bits" of 4E still lurking in 5E, maybe more than some people would like to admit. Just as the doom of 4E was foretold in the latter days of 3.5, the doom of 5E was foretold in the latter days of 4E. The only difference is that in the latter days of 4E, a lot fewer people were paying attention, myself included.
I freely admit that I completely ignored the playtest. I am one of those people who felt they'd been "fired as a fan" by WotC, and as such, I simply let them go their own way while I went mine. I was, if not entirely happy with Pathfinder, at least comfortable enough to be getting on, and that worked. (My attempts to move to other systems such as Savage Worlds notwithstanding.) So I missed the "Essentials" phase of 4E, which is where the shifts that led to 5E began, and more importantly I missed the Neverwinter Campaign Guide, which seems to be where the real sea-change had finally appeared.
NCG is thoroughly a 4E book, make no mistake, with all the random disassociated powers and dubstep-colored explodey art you would expect from such a thing. But it also includes campaign-specific Character Themes (which would become 5E's Backgrounds) and a strong emphasis on long-term story and away from a long string of perfectly-balanced set piece encounters. In the entire book, there is not a single battle-map to be found. Really, with just a few cosmetic changes in art design and tone (and, y'know, tossing out the 4E mechanical artifacts), NCG is practically a 5E book already.
(Also, if you intend to run the Lost Mines of Phandelver from the 5E Starter Set, it makes a great long-term campaign sourcebook. I'm not using it straight for my own campaign, preferring my own homebrew to the thrice-exploded Forgotten Realms, but I am liberally raiding it for good bits.)
Looting the Body
So, now that 4E is a smoking crater safely behind us, what exactly did 5E take from it, and what is there still worth the taking?
Well, as mentioned, Backgrounds are an implementation of 4E's Character Themes, providing a small mechanical benefit for a character's origin. They call it a "feature" instead of a "power," which is a welcome name change in my opinion– one of the worst things about 4E was the whole "ADEU" (At-Will/Daily/Encounter/Utility Power) framework, which led to the whole "I've used up all my powers, I guess I'll just attack" malaise that made 4E combat such a tedious grind. [1]
Of course, if you really look at it, the ADEU model is still there. Spell slots are "Daily Powers," always have been. Any class feature that is expended and recovered after "a short or long rest" is an "Encounter Power" by a different name, and so forth. But it's heavily buried and disguised, to keep people from staring at their power cards and thinking of them as "These are the things I can do."
What I like about these things being called "features" instead of being called "powers" is that they blend in. They become part of your character's background, an attribute they have just like their class or race, something they can go to if desired, but not their defining thing. "Power" implies that it's something you do– an action you would take, probably in combat. "Feature" is just something you have that other people might not. And as a "feature," there's no minimum power level it has to have in order to feel justified. Rogues and Bards get to double their proficiency bonus for certain things, due to their Expertise. Calling that a "power" seems pretty grandiose, doesn't it? But yes, it's certainly a "feature."
Here There Be Monsters
The one thing I really liked in 4E as presented, was the way it handled monsters. The math was forever being reshuffled, alas, but in principle at least there was a basic template for what the approximate stats of a monster should be for a given role at a given threat level, which you could then customize with certain signature abilities. A CR 1 kobold archer and a CR 1 goblin archer had almost the same stat block, except that kobolds where "shifty" (which enabled them to have extra movement) while goblins… uh… did something goblinish that I forget off the top of my head.
I used this to great effect in my one actual attempt to run 4E by having 1st level PCs attacked by a swarm of sea-devils (which were mechanically re-skinned kobolds with the blood frenzy racial feature) supported by harpies (the same kobolds with flight and luring song).
Does 5E share this flexibility? Well, the official verdict is still out until the DMG is released and its chapter on monster creation devoured by the masses. However, based just on what's in the Monster Manual, I'm going to say "Yes." For my Silver Coast game I have already created a goblin shaman by taking the Acolyte on p. 342, making him size Small and giving him the Nimble Escape racial feature, and created an undead barbarian king (spoiler, my players, there's one of those floating around!) by adding some barbarian class features to a wight.
5E doesn't have Minion rules per se, but it doesn't really need them, either. To change the danger level of a given creature, the easiest way is to tweak its hit points. A grovelly swarm of kobold bootlickers might have only 2 hit points each, but their boss is a big (reptile) dog, having a whole 10. He's still CR 1/8 just like the rest of them, but he's a lot less likely to be one-punched, even by a PC. If you want a really tough kobold? Take the CR 5 Gladiator on p. 346, make him size Small, give him Sunlight Sensitivity and Pack Tactics. Even the party fighter will notice when a kobold spears him for 2d8+4 damage.
Certainly, any game system can do re-skinning and most of them do to at least some extent. But 5E, like 4E before it, has it "baked in" to the monster design ethos in a way that 3.x/Pathfinder didn't, and it really does make the DM's life much, much easier. There aren't different types of hit dice based on what genus your monster comes from (undead get d12, fey get d6, or whatever the numbers were, I forget now), you don't have to do a lot of agonizing about whether swapping a power will shoot the CR way out of your encounter budget, etc. [2]
What do you think? What was good about 4E that's worth salvaging in 5E? How are the systems similar? Different? I'm very curious to hear with other gamers have to say on the topic.
[1] It's ironic, 4E actually had a brilliant set of mechanics for off-the-cuff stunts, in the form of the famous "Page 42," but in practice it seems most people rarely used it, instead spending the whole combat trying to figure out which power to use this turn. But it's all about presentation: players' activities are molded by what the rules tell them. Thus, for maximum player creativity, you need to have minimum rules.
[2] With bounded accuracy, the impact of CR is greatly diminished anyway. Depending on the skill of the players and the whims of the dice, lower-level baddies can still be a problem, while higher-level baddies can unexpectedly be a pushover. A surprise round, a good initiative roll, and the number of foes you're facing are much bigger factors in how any given fight will play out than the individual CR and stats of a single opponent, generally speaking.

Get your kicks on America's legendary highway
Back in its glory days, Route 66 began in Chicago and ended along the bluffs overlooking the Pacific, a 2,451-mile/3,945-km journey through farmlands, plains, and desert. The highway crossed the Colorado River and entered California, then after a long stretch through the Mojave (where an extensive section can still be driven) reached the Inland Empire.
In Victorville, the California Route 66 Museum tells the story of the iconic Mother Road through rare artifacts—from a vintage neon motel sign to remnants from Hulaville, a former folk art site on the road. You'll also find historic restaurants along surviving sections of Route 66. Not far from the museum, there's Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe, home to a famous patty melt. While in San Bernardino, the Mitla Cafe opened in 1937 and still serves such classics its home-style menudo, a traditional Mexican soup. And be sure to keep your eyes open for iconic Route 66 landmarks, especially the tepee-shaped rooms at San Bernardino's Wigwam Motel.

Take a tour of Tokyo's most popular shotengai
By Metropolis | Posted on February 4, 2010
Originally published on metropolis.co.jp on February 2010
Illustration by Phil Couzens
While the one-stop food shopping at Tokyo's depachika is an amazing experience, the gourmet eats come with a high price tag. At the other end of the spectrum are the places where most Japanese do their daily shopping: neighborhood shopping streets known as shotengai, where you'll find mom and pop shops selling vegetables, fish, meat, rice and even handmade tofu. The Tokyo Shotengai website (http://meturl.com/shotengai) lists over 550 of these shopping streets; here are some of our favorites.
This foodie neighborhood is filled with many fantastic shops along the main drag. Try 50-ban (3-2 Kagurazaka) for its steamed buns, Kintokiya (2-10 Kagurazaka) for wagashi made from sweet potatoes, and the gorgeous Rakuzan (4-3 Kagurazaka) for tea. Isuzu (5-34 Kagurazaka) offers a variety of Japanese-style sweets and, if you walk along the street far enough, Baikatei (6-15 Kagurazaka) has fantastic handmade wagashi. Nearest station: Iidabashi
Just outside of Nippori station lies the Yanaka shotengai—very typical of what you would imagine an old-style shopping street to be like. Two of the area's meat shops are famous for their menchikatsu: Niku no Sato (3-13-2 Yanaka) and Niku no Suzuki (3-15-5 Nishi-Nippori). Goto no Ame (3-15-1 Nishi-Nippori) has a colorful selection of candies. There are many options, including deep-fried tofu balls known as ganmodoki, at Musashiya (3-9-15 Yanaka), oyatsu-pan (snack breads) at Atomu Bakery (3-11-14 Yanaka), and skewered and grilled seafood at Fukushima Shoten (3-13-4 Yanaka). Note that a lot of the shops are closed on Mondays. Nearest stn: Nippori. www.yanakaginza.com
Ningyocho
The historic Ningyocho district is always a delight to visit. While you'll find many shops selling the local specialty, ningyoyaki (small cakes filled with azuki bean paste), there are many other interesting stores. On the famous Amazake Yokocho shotengai is Futaba Tofu (2-4-9 Ningyocho), with a variety of tofu products and also the sweet, creamy drink for which this street is named. Hojicha tea is the specialty of Morinoen (2-4-9 Ningyocho), while the long line outside the tiny Yanagiya (2-11-3 Ningyocho) is a testament to the popularity of its taiyaki sweet-bean cakes—considered one of the three best varieties in the city. Ningyocho's most famous restaurant may well be Tamahide (1-17-10 Ningyocho), renowned for its oyako-don rice bowls. Nearest stn: Ningyocho.
Just north of Kichijoji station is Sun Road, a covered shotengai filled with many small shops. Among the several worth exploring are traditional German bakery Linde (1-11-27 Kichijoji-Honcho) and Meat Shop Sato (1-1-8 Kichijoji-Honcho), which is famous for its menchikatsu and wagyu and which also has a popular restaurant on the second floor, usually with a long line. Okashi no Machioka (1-15-1 Kichijoji-Honcho) will have your eyes spinning with all of the different types of candies, sweets and snacks. In the evening, the Harmonica Yokocho strip is filled with small restaurants that are perfect for a drink and some nibbles. Tecchan is a popular yakitori spot—if you can squeeze in (1-1-2 Kichijoji-Honcho). Nearest stn: Kichijoji.
Azabu-Juban
This popular foodie street in the heart of the city is easy to navigate. The renowned Mamegen (1-8-12 Azabu-Juban) tempts customers with over 90 varieties of flavored rice crackers, including uni, wasabi and curry, but it's the shio-okaki (deep-fried and salted) that are irresistible. The taiyaki at the extremely popular Naniwaya Sohonten (1-8-14 Azabu-Juban) are made by the shop's fourth-generation owners. Hasegawa Saketen (2-2-7 Azabu-Juban) has well-selected sake, shochu and umeshu. If you're craving meat, the yakitori at Abe-chan (2-1-1 Azabu-Juban) will hit the spot. Alternatively, slurp up some soba noodles at Nagasaka Sarashina (1-8-7 Azabu Juban), notably the delicate, white sarashina noodles. Nearest stn: Azabu-Juban.

Il Re Pastore at Salzburg Festival (with Rolando Villazon)
I reviewed it for Bachtrack. Here's a preview:
This opera requires three exceptionally agile sopranos, and two tenors with coloratura facility, so finding a cast with sufficiently contrasted voices is always going to be a challenge. Rolando Villazón is clearly still finding his footing after returning from a rest following a vocal crisis. The lower half of the voice is as firm and exciting as it ever was, fruity and vibrant and with an emotional surge that gives him a magnetic presence.
Read the whole thing here: http://www.bachtrack.com/review-salzburg-festival-2012-il-re-pastore
Singers are funny creatures, and it's never entirely possible to separate physical problems with mental blocks: because the brain controls the voice (even if unconsciously), a lack of confidence in being able to land a note adversely affects the ability to actually do so. It's a very, very tricky business for a singer to get back on track after suffering a vocal setback, because everything that they are is involved.
In the past, I have not been that keen on Villazón, who I thought was always pushing the voice too much, singing every phrase with a sobbing espressionismo that was often just innapropriate. But here, I saw for the first time what makes him so popular. Apart from the quality of the voice, which comes across better live than on recordings, he's just a very generous artist who clearly loves to give a lot of himself, and he has an energy and presence that is quite captivating. He was very sweet at the end too - kissing the score, and leading the whoops and bravos for his fellow singers. In his present condition he really cannot return to his old repertoire, but Handel, and Mozart should still be within limits, and as I say in the review, I was surprised at how well he did stylistically with the Mozart. Would he make an interesting Pelleas? And what about Rameau?
Astonishingly, DG have recently announced a project to record, in the studio, the last six Mozart operas, and Villazon is to sing the tenor parts in all of them. It doesn't make sense on any level, but apparently it's happening.
Salzburg's fetishization of Mozart is not just ubiquitous, but entirely nauseating too - blatant commercialising and profiteering off their most famous son, and usually to sell kitsch, tat, schlock and chocolate gonads. Everything about him is ironed out and made bland to reflect the Muzak status that he has in the mind of the general public (combined for many people paradoxically but entirely unironically with the idea that there is a "Mozart effect" that can be measured on the brain); the portraits that adorn every shop front all beautify him by making him look more handsome, more normal, than the real portraits that survive, removing his bulging eyes and lumpy nose and smirking mouth. This cosmetic cleaning up is of course also is mirrored in the cleaning up of Mozart as artist and human being. Nothing could be further from the real Mozart than all this guff - Mozart we know was not a man bound by conventions, possessing a sick sense of humour, and most importantly this is indicated in the music: endlessly inventive, radical, profound, and profoundly moving, whilst also admittedly never being anything less than elegant, beguiling and witty, and never a bar that is hard on the ear. Maybe this last point is the problem, the reason that that is exploited in this way. That he can touch the loftiest heights, and crack the most ridiculous gag in a single breath or even simultaneously almost goes without saying - both forms of expression came so naturally to him, that it is sometimes hard to decide which is which. These things are so far removed from the "Mozart brand" that the two seem (and in the end are) entirely unrelated. The most beautiful, and most grotesque of cultural phenomena posing as the same thing.
Rant over. Ahem.
There were a (perhaps not so) shocking amount of empty seats - maybe only 80% sold or so? My ticket was right up in the top balcony so I really couldn't hear very clearly in the first act, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to write anything in the review, but I slipped down into the stalls for Act II which I saw that many other people had done too. It's entirely true that Salzburg is targeted at the very very wealthy, but this semi staged of an unknown early Mozart was too expensive even for this audience to swallow. So much for the Mozart fetish.

Stuttgart, February 2016 – The Volvo Group has presented MAHLE with the 2016 Supplier Award in the category of "Innovation and Fuel Efficiency." This is the manufacturer's recognition for MAHLE's innovative strength and systems expertise in commercial vehicles.
Volvo highlighted the MAHLE Monoweld® steel piston—the essential element in the power cell unit (PCU)—as an example of permanent contribution toward fuel efficiency. This two-piece, friction-welded piston, which has been used at Volvo since the launch of EURO VI engines, is perfectly tuned for interaction with the other components in the PCU supplied by MAHLE as a complete system. MAHLE uses this holistic systems approach as an essential lever to achieve further gains in fuel efficiency.
MAHLE has also continuously proven its expertise in the powertrain and the complete vehicle over many years. For commercial vehicles from the Volvo Group bearing the names Volvo (Trucks), Renault Trucks, Mack, and UD, MAHLE supplies air conditioning systems, engine cooling systems, and cylinder head cover systems with integrated oil mist separation, in addition to the PCU.
This year, Volvo recognized a total of eleven suppliers in six different categories that represent the strategic goals of the Volvo Group. The awards were presented at a celebration in Gothenburg/Sweden on February 23, 2016.
In 2015, the group employed around 75,000 people (as at 12/31/2015) and reported preliminary sales of EUR 11.5 billion. Today, MAHLE is represented in over 30 countries with 170 production locations. At 15 major development locations in Germany, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Slovenia, the USA, Brazil, Japan, China, and India, more than 5,000 development engineers and technicians are working on innovative solutions.
