Milner Ecology Takes on its 500th Project!
Milner Ecology has been commissioned by Yorkshire Water to carry out Great Crested Newt Surveys for a proposed sewage pipeline to a new development in Leeds. The surveys involved torching several recently created ponds and found greatpeak numbers across the survey season. Both Great Crested and Smooth newt were found on the site along with common frogs and toads. Further capture surveys are proposed to the works site in the coming months and potential monitoring to ensure these great numbers are retained after the temporary works have completed.
Red squirrel and Dormouse Training in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
Rozanna recently spent a day in the Yorkshire dales learning about the management and promotion of the new red squirrel route through Snaizeholme. The course was run jointly by the National Park and CIEEM and involved a morning walking through the trail and observing the very friendly squirrels on and around the feeder. The afternoon was then spent in the Dales Museum learning about the Dormouse reintroduction and monitoring at Freeholders wood. A great day all round learning about the rare and elusive creatures right on our doorstep.

You've Got Mail and We've Got All the Secrets About Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's Best Rom-Com
December 29, 2020fashion
1. It's All in the Details
Ephron was notoriously a very specific director, with a love for little details to add authenticity, especially when it came to establishing New York City, one of the great loves of her life.
During the infamous "that caviar is a garnish!" face-off between Joe and Kathleen, Ephron, a foodie herself, insisted on a lavish spread, and even was upset that the avocados weren't Hass avocados. "Oh, that is so sad," script supervisor Dianne Dreyer recalled the director saying. (That caviar garnish bit was not in the original script, by the way, with Ephron adding it in on set because she found the word "garnish" funny. She was right.)
She even made sure to have the same extras in the background of various scenes to make the Upper West Side feel like a little community; she wanted it to feel really lived-in.
"The extra who is playing the florist [in the beginning of the film] is pregnant," Ephron revealed on the DVD commentary. "We put a little pad in her tummy. And one of the things you will see later in the movie is when Meg is buying flowers at that florist, there's a little sign in the window that says, 'It's a girl.'"

This large size smiling golden tua peh kong is colorfully painted with fine details. The Tua Peh Kong is another wealth deity who is very popular among tycoons and businessmen in Asia. He is one of the Five Wealth Gods, in which the other four is in heaven but he is more special because he takes care of distributing money on earth. He is famous for helping people at striking lotteries in Singapore and other parts of southeast Asia and therefore is known as God of Windfall. He is depicted sitting on his dragon chair and carrying a big gold ingot (to multiply wealth) and a Ru Yi (to enhance authority and power). This statue is most suitable for workdesks, large wealth vases, receptions and cashiers.
To maximize the luck for the whole household, where both the man and women of the family also benefit from windfall, one should get both the Tua Peh Kong and Choy San Poh. They can be either paired up together to work wonders for you or individually placed in SW (benefitting the matriarch) and NW (benefitting the patriarch).


As of January 1st, 2014, Monkey Business Institute's teaching arm will be taking residence and holding improv classes, corporate playshops, rehearsing (and even hosting the occasional performance), at 1709 South Park St. (shown in the image: across Park St. from the former Thorstad Chevrolet, next to the incredibly close-together traffic signals, and just up the street from Arby's).
It's formerly a dairy – with plenty of off-street parking, two elevators for accessibility (we're in the lower level) and a more centralized location.
In the coming months, we'll be constructing a stage and turning the facility into a fun, professional place to learn improv and expand your capability to be creative. If you're thinking of jumping into improv – here's where we hope you'll choose to do it.
*Our regular Saturday night performances will continue to be held at the Glass Nickel Pizza Company on Atwood Avenue – this move affects classes and playshops.

Home News Scania hands over the First ever Ethanol driven city bus in India for trial run to Nagpur Municipal Corporation
Scania hands over the First ever Ethanol driven city bus in India for trial run to Nagpur Municipal Corporation
August 22, 2014 | Rohan Patil
With the governmennt taking steps towards introducing ethanol mixed petrol to reduce the oil imports, Scania Commercial Vehicles India Pvt Ltd, which is the leading commercial vehicles and engines manufacturer, today handed over India's first ethanol-fuelled city bus to Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC)for trial run in Nagpur. The use of ethanol fuelled vehicles may lessen our oil imports and also save some millions of dollars.
Mr. Anders Grundströmer, Managing Director, Scania Commercial Vehicles India and Senior Vice President, Scania Group and Mr. Sivakumar V, Director – Sales, Scania Commercial Vehicles India handed over the bus keys to Shri Nitin Gadkari, Honourable Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Rural Development, Government of India in the presence of Shri Sanjay Gangopadhyaya, Jt. Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Prof. Shri Anil Sole, Mayor, Nagpur City and Shri Shyam Wardhane, Commissioner, NMC. The key hand over was followed by the flag-off of the bus by Shri Nitin Gadkari in the presence of NMC officials.
Expressing his thoughts over the handover, Mr. Anders Grundströmer said, "We are delighted and proud to be able to venturethis unique initiative along with the NMC. This represents an important step towards our common goal, the realizationof energy-efficient and sustainable public transportation solutions in India. We have expertise and experience with ethanol run buses for more than 20 years. We view ethanol as the future for public transport. The use of ethanol as a vehicle fuel is the best example of what can be done here and now in sustainable development work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution."
There is now a growing interest in ethanol-operated vehicles. In recent years, Scania has also delivered ethanol buses for commercial service in Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Norway and other countries. Ethanol accounts for around 90 percent of renewable vehicle fuels available in the world today andcan be sourced locally, which will reduce the need for import of oil. It is the most cost-effective biofuel in the market in terms of availability, infrastructure and accessibility. Compared to a conventional diesel engine, ethanol-powered vehicles can reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 percent.Ethanol also offers the best operating radius of the currently available renewable fuels for city center and urban operations.
"Public transport on ethanol buses is a cost effective way of reducing several of the city's environmental problems. The solutions we are now developing create the necessary preconditions for both more attractive forms of travel and also better living conditions in city centers, without requiring major investments in new infrastructure. With this ethanol bus we also introduce an engine complying with Bharat stage 5, which is a huge step to minimize emissions further. Biofuel is the sustainable solution for urban public transport here and now," Mr. Anders Grundströmer added.
Scania has delivered ethanol buses for more than 20 years to countries around the globe with successful operational and environmental results. Ethanol fuel has much lower CO2 emissions compared to a diesel engine. The technology is mature and viable for intense everyday city service, as verified by bus operators in cities all over the world.
In India, Scania buses & trucks have been specially designed to meet local conditions and customer requirements, and are backed by world classservice network and dealership in the country. Scania has also gained a strong foothold with several new customers across the country for both trucks and buses and is working ondelivering high quality transportation solutions and services for India. Customers are highly appreciative of the value add that Scania solutions bring to their fleetwith an unbeatable Total Operating Economy (TOE).
Scania's major focus is on changing the way India views transportation by bringing in new and innovative technologies through constant R&D in India followed by entry into a wide range of industries and segments. The ethanol bus is one step towards achieving this objective.

Q: Could each non-dependent physical contant represent dimentions, and our universe be a point on this n-dimentional structure? For example say the gravitation constant instead of equaling G, was actually a range bounded between 0 and infinity.
Our Universe would be at a point on this range (equal to our G value) where things could physically exist and produce stars, galaxies and life. Yet in the gravitation constant's dimension it is able to be lower and higher then our G value.
All other physical constants being equal, this would allow the sort of full universe we recognise to exist on only a very tiny part of the full range of the gravitation constant's dimension. The rest of the dimension would be full of non-universes that would not be able to support anything.
The other non-dependent physical constants perhaps also represent dimensions. And there might even be a  set of useful life supporting universe's on a continuous 'line' inside this n-dimensional structure.

A: That is an open question in physics: why are there so many non dependant constants? Approx twenty in the standard model.
Some proponents of string theory would agree with your way of describing non-dependant constants, and say they could be any value but have to be the value they are due to the Anthropic Principle.
Einstein is quoted as having said:

... is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.

What he meant by that is that the more we discover about physics the more dependencies we find between these constants the less truly non-dependant constants there are. Each non-dependant constant is a "choice" but if there are enough dependancies then there in no "choice for god" at all.
For example consider the three constants, the speed of light:
$$
c
$$
The Permittivity of free space
$$
\epsilon_0
$$
The permiability of free space
$$
\mu_0
$$
There are three constants there but since we have one equation relating them:
$$
c= \frac{1}{\epsilon_0 \mu_0 }
$$
This leads us to there being two (three constants minus one equation) non-dependant constants with the third beind depentand on the other two.

Floating–Harbor syndrome, also known as Pelletier–Leisti syndrome, is a rare disease with fewer than 50 cases described in the literature. It is usually diagnosed in early childhood and is characterized by the triad of proportionate short stature with delayed bone age, characteristic facial appearance, and delayed speech development. Although its cause is unknown, it is thought to result from genetic mutation, and diagnosis is established by the presence of a heterozygous SRCAP mutation in those with clinical findings of FHS.

Signs and symptoms
Below are the common clinical features of those diagnosed with Floating–Harbor syndrome. Patients will show varying degrees of some or all FHS symptoms. Facial abnormalities  are the most defining aspects of those diagnosed with this disease.

Cardinal facial features
 Triangular face
 Deep-set eyes
 Short philtrum
 Wide mouth with a thin vermilion border of the upper lip
 Long nose with a narrow bridge and broad, bulbous base
 Low-set ears

Voice quality and language
 Dysarthria and verbal dyspraxia with phoneme imprecision
 Hypernasality
 High-pitched voices
 Severe receptive and expressive language impairment across all domains of function

Bodily features
 Significant delay in bone age (-2 SD or greater) with normalization between 6–12 years old
 Skeletal anomalies: brachydactyly, broad fingertips or clubbing, clinodactyly, short thumbs, prominent joints, clavicle abnormalities
 Short adult stature: for females, maximum height was at the 20th percentile; for males, the maximum height was at the 25th percentile, though male height varied more widely
The differential diagnosis of broad thumbs includes Rubinstein-taybi syndrome, where they are a cardinal feature. FHS is also in the differential, which logically agrees with the thought that the disease is a result of a mutation in SRCAP, as this gene interacts with CBP.

Behavior
 Tantrums during infancy
 Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during school years: impulsivity, inattention, restlessness
 Unpredictable, aggressive outbursts
 Autistic spectrum disorder (one case)
 Asperger syndrome (one case)
 Obsessive compulsive disorder (two cases)

Other observations
 Intellectual disability: in all cases each individual showed a varying degree of intellectual impairment and learning disability, ranging from borderline normal to moderate intellectual disability
 Early entry into puberty is shown in some girls, leading to menorrhagia and irregular periods
 Dental problems (caries, malocclusion, dysplastic, small teeth)
 Visual impairment

Mechanism
The cause of this condition is unknown but evidence of familial inheritance and sporadic genetic mutation has been linked to cases of FHS. Two possibly familial cases have been reported—one in a mother and son, and the other in a mother and daughter. This suggests an autosomal dominant inheritance but additional cases need to be investigated to establish this. Another report has suggested that the inheritance may be autosomal recessive. In all of these cases, however, the mothers and children were not similarly affected, suggesting a variable clinical expression of the syndrome.

In a study published by the American Journal of Human Genetics in 2012, exome sequencing was used to investigate a group of unrelated individuals with classic features of FHS and identified heterozygous mutations in SRCAP as causative of this disorder.  Each reported mutation was truncating (nonsense or frameshift) and occurred between codons 2,407 and 2,517 in exon 34, resulting in the loss of three C-terminal AT-hook motifs. SRCAP encodes a SNF2-related chromatin-remodeling ATPase that is a coactivator for CREB-binding protein (or CBP), which is the major cause of Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome. This disrupted interaction between the proteins most likely explains the clinical overlap between FHS and RTS.
 SRCAP has been shown to transduce signals of nuclear (steroid) hormone receptors and Notch pathways, showing that it plays diverse roles in gene expression.
 SRCAP contains several functional domains (SNF2 like ATPase, an N-terminal HSA domain, and three C-terminal AT-hook DNA-binding motifs).
 The CBP interaction domain of SRCAP is located centrally.

Thus, the mechanism of disease in FHS is suspected to be dominant-negative (or antimorphic) due to the mutation in the final exon that results in the loss of the major transactivation function of SRCAP (or loss of one or more critical domains). All of the patients that carried the mutation also had obvious physical symptoms (i.e., prominent nose, delayed bone age, and short stature). Those who tested negative for the mutation often had dysmorphic facial features distinct from classical FHS, as well as a formal diagnosis of autism.

Drawbacks to findings
From the same group, three individuals whose phenotype most closely resembled FHS carried no mutation on the SRCAP gene. Though these findings are a large step in determining the underlying cause of FHS and widely accepted, others would claim molecular diagnosis is not always successful and the mutation is not a mandatory feature for the diagnosis of FHS.

Diagnosis
Until recently, doctors have diagnosed patients with FHS based on clinical observations and how well they fit the disease description, usually occurring in early childhood. Molecular genetic testing is also used now to test for genetic mutations. By performing a sequence analysis test of select exons, mutations can be detected in exon 34 of the SRCAP gene. This mutation has been observed in 19 patients to date.
In most cases, if the patient shows classic facial features of FHS, the molecular testing will show a mutation on the SRCAP gene.

Differential diagnosis
FHS shares some common features with Rubinstein–Taybi (due to overlapping effects of mutations on SRCAP), however cranial and hand anomalies are distinctive: broad thumbs, narrow palate, and microcephaly are absent in Floating-Harbor Syndrome. One child in the UK has a diagnosis of microcephaly alongside Floating–Harbor syndrome.

Management
There are no cures for FHS. Close monitoring of growth in the first few years is essential, as well as annual general health screening and tests listed below. An FHS diagnosis will affect the individual and those there to support them.Managing symptoms and features of FHS involves maintaining a close watch on the patient's physical as well as mental health. This would include:
 Sequencing of SRCAP exons 31–34 in all suspected cases
 Complete assessments of auditory and visual systems
 Renal and urinary tract ultrasound
 Orthopedic assessment of hip dysplasia and clavicle abnormalities
 Neurologic assessment if there is a suspicion of seizures
 Dental hygiene to prevent cavities and to monitor for malocclusion
 Evaluation for growth hormone deficiency at baseline, to be repeated if loss of growth velocity occurs
 Monitoring of bone age and pubertal timing in case of precocious puberty
 Psychoeducational assessments corrected for deficiencies in expressive language and sensory issues
 Monitoring of behavioral disturbances and provision of early intervention
 Counseling for families regarding recurrence risk and the offspring of individuals with FHS

Special education programs and vocational training to address developmental disabilities are highly recommended, as well as communication rehabilitation with sign language or alternative means of communication. Behavior management strategies could also include referrals to behavior specialists or psychologists for help. For those concerned, genetic counseling can be sought for issues related to testing of at-risk relatives.

History
The first identified instances occurred in 1973 at the Boston Floating Hospital, and in 1975 at Harbor General Hospital in Torrance, California. The name Floating–Harbor syndrome was coined by Robinson et al. in 1988. Since then approximately 40 more cases have been described.

The first case recorded was that of a 5-year-old boy. In a 32-year follow up done in 2006, the patient was in good overall health, had never been hospitalized, and had been employed for the past 15 years. His mother stated he had a very good memory, was gregarious, had a temper, and at times was stubborn. Changes in the patient's facial configuration and body could be attributed to age and familial history (i.e., the patient shows signs of arthritis and hypertension). Still present were the low hairline, broad tip of the nose, short nasal labial distance, depressed columella, thin lips, and posteriorly positioned ears, as well as short stature and mild to moderate retardation.

Recent research
In a study published in 2012 in the Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology, a group of scientists reported the long-term effects of a patient diagnosed with FHS undergoing growth hormone therapy from the age of 3.5 years to 9 years old. While the GH seemed to work initially, the patient's growth after the first couple years slowed significantly and the patient reached a stable height far below the target or standard height.  The results on GH therapy remain inconclusive.

Recent research mostly centers around the search and confirmation of the gene responsible for FHS. As discussed in the mechanisms section, though the mutation of SRCAP is a widely accepted indicator of a patient diagnosed with FHS, it is not the cause in every case.

First of its kind ScotlandWorks show launches in Glasgow
Scotland's first event dedicated to industrial, commercial and public sector professionals launched this week at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow. Previously known as Health & Safety Scotland, the event has rebranded and added six new shows alongside as a result of industry demand.
The event, which took place on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th May, set out to give individuals and companies working in the sectors the opportunity to see the latest technology and services available on the market, source new suppliers and to be inspired by a whole host of dedicated, Scottish content.
Within the main exhibition, the six specialist shows covered topics including fire, health and safety, maintenance, logistics, cleaning and facilities. The event hosted over 300 of the UK's leading manufacturers, suppliers and service providers all under one roof from a huge range of industries including medical, banking, oil and gas, food and drink and the public sector.
Breda Cruickshank, Head of Exhibition Sales at the SEC said: "It's great to see a show being successful after expanding and reinventing itself. We are very proud to have been chosen as the venue for the first ScotlandWorks and look forward to working with Western Publishing again to encourage a return of this show and to work on future projects.
"A successful event doesn't come easily, even to the most experienced organisers and venues, so to have such success on the first time is a real testament to the collaboration between the organisers and the team at the SEC."
Tim Else, Event Director of ScotlandWorks, added: "We started out in 2007 running shows in Birmingham and London and it became obvious that Scotland was an untapped market.
"In a short space of time, we've grown rapidly, acquiring more shows and have created a much bigger event. The support from the venue has been superb and we will be coming back to the SEC in 2018."

Pete Lloyd
In April 2011, Pete was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Pete's treatment involved chemotherapy, which included Methotrexate. Pete has kindly shared why he's focused on where he wants to be and not where he's been.
Your child's first day at school is an incredibly special day and something you never forget. For Pete, he waved Joshua goodbye on his first day of school then went to continue his difficult and emotional journey at the Christie, and the third round of his chemotherapy treatment.
In April 2011, Pete aged 30 was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the left femur. Pete's treatment involved chemotherapy, which included Methotrexate. Pete's determination has been centred on his family, Kate his wife and 3 children Joshua, Lilli-Grace and Annabelle.
In his own words Pete has kindly shared why he's focused on where he wants to be and not where he's been...
In 2007, I fell over and shattered the inside of my bone causing metabolic bone disease to occur called osseous fibrous dysplasia, which is benign but in rare circumstances can turn cancerous. I underwent treatment and a bone scrape. It looked as though all was improving and in 2009 Kate and I had Lilli-Grace, I returned to work and ran the Manchester 10K but over the coming years my condition deteriorated.
In 2011, I had my femur removed, which lead to the diagnosis of osteosarcoma.
I was driving through Manchester with my wife, after being shopping and I received a call from my surgeon Professor Grimer at Birmingham and he informed me I had osteosarcoma and that I would need to go to the Christie the following week.
It completely floored me, no one likes hearing the words 'you've got cancer' or that it is a high grade one and that it is in your bone. It gutted us as a family, but I had to put my thinking head on and start processing. I was given a 20% chance of survival without chemotherapy, this increased to 60% with chemotherapy – it was a no brainer!
Everything moved very quickly and the following week a hickman line was put in and I had a PET scan, an MRI and started my chemotherapy treatment on a MAP regime, consisting of Cisplatin, Doxorubicin and Methotrexate.
Once I started treatment I couldn't play with Joshua or Lilli-Grace, I was very tired. Lilli-Grace would sit on me so I couldn't move. When I came home from hospital she would deliberately fall asleep on me so I couldn't go anywhere. It's had a massive effect on Joshua, he had behavioural problems and some speech problems, he still has a stammer now.
I became headstrong wanting to know every last little detail of my treatment. I had to know what, where, how, why and everything in between. Knowing the exact timings of treatment so I could be home with the children at the weekend, this was my only time with them. It was critical, I was in Tuesday morning and had to be out Friday night.
Cisplatin and Doxorubicin wasn't so much of an issue as it was timed bags but the Methotrexate needed the rescue and sodium bicarb to bring Ph. levels up. Otherwise such high doses could cause you to go into toxic shock, which could kill you within an hour.
So, on my first day of treatment I wrote out a whole regime and put everything in order in a folder so anyone could pick it up and see exactly what the regime was and what I should be having and when so I could be home for the weekend. I had amazing nurses at the Christie, who talked me through chemo and sat with me whilst having chemo. The nurses would chase blood tests to allow me to go home with rescue tablets to manage the Methotrexate. They knew how important it was for me to be in and get home to my family.
After my first dose I had severe sepsis, the second dose I had to have a blood transfusion, third dose I had to have platelet and a blood transfusion and then I got an infection. I also developed oral thrush, which was horrific, I could barely open my mouth to put a straw in, my mouth was covered with ulcers, all over my tongue, and down my throat. It caused terrible reflux and I had to take lots of indigestion remedy, which also helped with the mouth ulcers. It also caused severe constipation. I had so much pain going to the toilet.
The MAP regime is the most gruelling, debilitating, sickness inducing, awful regime you could possibly imagine. It is horrid.
From the moment it goes in, it made me feel sick. The anti-sickness medication didn't work or stop the feeling. Methotrexate takes it out of you, it is the worst type of fatigue you will ever feel. I also lost all of my hair, I was bald head to toe including nose hair. However my skin looked great, smooth soft skin, this was the only positive.
I was so exhausted, I couldn't open my open eyes, your mind says one thing but body says another. I felt like I had swum oceans, ridden across land and done marathon upon marathon, your body just feels beaten. It's truly horrible, I lost 4 stone in weight.
But I had to move, I had to keep going, I had to get in to the mindset where it won't beat me, it did just keep coming at me. It felt like everything was working against me, all you want to do is shut your eyes and sleep but if I did that I didn't know if I would wake up again as it completely and utterly takes it out of you.
At one point my Haemoglobin levels reached 2 or 3, they normally have to be between 13 and 17 and I was taken to the Christie, I was told I shouldn't have been walking, I shouldn't be able to stand and I was given three bags of blood to bring my levels back up. I would slip in and out of consciousness and wake up with a crowd around me.
My chemo treatment was for 8 months and finished on the 12th January 2012. 2 months later I had my acetabulum (socket of the hip bone) replaced. It didn't work because I had so many operations in the same site, leaving my muscles weak and I had lots of scar tissue.
My wife, Kate and I were asked if we wanted any treatment to preserve my fertility in case we wanted anymore children. We already had children and felt very blessed so thought if it was going to happen, it would. And something amazing did happen in 2014, Annabelle was born, it was such a great surprise!
For the next few years I carried on as best as possible with a stick and crutches but my leg never did get strong enough for me to trust it. In 2017, I was playing with Joshua in the garden, throwing a ball and my leg went from underneath me and I just thought 'I can't do this' so I made the decision to have an amputation.
I had to be assessed at an ability centre, and visit a counsellor and pain clinic before I could have the amputation. I just wanted to play with my kids in the back garden without fear of falling or hurting myself.
Since the amputation I've got my life back. It has been a long long slog of recovery from chemotherapy and I had 10 operations in total, I still don't think I am fully over it, but I can play with my 3 wonderful children on the floor or in the back garden.
My memory is still affected, it's nothing like it used to be. I really need to concentrate for things to sink in, I can have a conversation then 10 minutes later forget I had it. My energy levels are nowhere near what they used to be. I suppose it becomes daily life and you just adapt yourself so you don't see it all the time.
My wife Kate has been amazing and we've had friends and lots of family support us. Kate made it as normal as possible for everyone. She never let me know how much it was affecting her. We made the most of the days when we could go out together. She's amazing
My diagnosis also affected us in other ways it would ruin plans and stop us from going out. We couldn't go to the pub and see friends it killed off any social life. We didn't do anything for so long until the amputation.
I have found my own interests. I have learnt to ride a motorbike, as it gave me something to concentrate on away from the routine of treatment. It's been like my time, I didn't have to think about treatment, hospital appointments, nothing apart from being on the bike. It was a massive help. I don't think I would have been as positive if hadn't done something to help cope. It gave me escapism!
Do something that makes you feel human, rather than a patient. Do something you've always wanted to do that allows you to escape from it all.
If new treatment developments could be made by the Bone Cancer Research Trust and it alleviates just one symptom it will mean the world to patients. The treatment needs to affect just the tumour and not every cell in the body. I saw it as hitting a reset button putting my body back into factory reset. Destroying everything for it to rebuild.
I think the work the Bone Cancer Research Trust does, funding research and incredible people who want to find new ways to treat, reduce side effects and increase longevity of life is incredible. I feel proud to have been in the hands of a medical team that is so directly linked with the Bone Cancer Research Trust.
I don't know of anyone who has had the treatment I have had and been treated so well through the journey. The Bone Cancer Research Trust's impact on surgeons and their way of thinking comes shining through. Just having someone to talk to that listens, I've never poured my heart out to someone before like I have to the Bone Cancer Research Trust, it's incredible. Joining the team at the 2018 British Sarcoma Group Conference was amazing, loved it!

Anti-ship missile completes first airworthiness testing on Super Hornet
By Justin Doubleday / December 23, 2015 at 10:45 AM
Lockheed Martin's Long Range Anti-Ship Missile recently underwent its first captive-carry flight tests aboard a Super Hornet, with further tests planned leading up to the first launch in 2018, according to the company. The Navy and Lockheed conducted the captive-carry flight tests using an LRASM mass simulator vehicle attached to an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet "to evaluate flight and handling characteristics, as well as to measure structural loads and strains on the aircraft," according to a Dec. 14 Lockheed statement.

IKEA is an internationally known home furnishing retailer that sells a wide variety of items including storage options, lighting, decor products, kitchen appliances and pet care. It has grown rapidly since it was founded in 1943 and today it is the world's largest furniture retailer, recognized for its Scandinavian style.
With mobile network reception being extremely weak in large, in-door stores, IKEA wanted to equip their stores with free WiFi to all shoppers that enter their stores. IKEA also felt it was important to offer a mobile touchpoint to shoppers where they could view advertisements rather than only advertising through physical methods such as fliers or pamphlets.
When connecting to the WiFi, the user will be directed to a landing page with customized marketing content advertising special offers, sales, promotions, news, and a selection of other items. Each store needed the ability to set their own content and edit as needed. Additionally, the marketing team needed to be able to access the content in order to rewrite and edit as required. What IKEA needed was a CMS with a single repository where they could store and manage all marketing content throughout its lifecycle. They needed something that was intuitive and easy to use for non-technical marketing team members.
Using Pimcore, IKEA was able to manage all content for the customized landing pages of each IKEA store branch. New and updated content can be easily published and made instantly live by the marketing team. All assets, content, and data related to the landing pages could be stored in a single repository and easily accessed by IKEA employees in order to repurpose content related to a validated sale or promotion. The entire program allowed them to engage with customers on a digital level allowing for more efficient marketing and more engaged customers.
IKEA's new WiFi for shoppers was able to provide a new digital touchpoint for interaction with customers. From the landing pages, customer were made aware of new products, sales, and special offers – and thus prompted to make purchases. Creating this digital content was made easy by Pimcore's solution and enabled the marketing teams to constantly update and enhance content to promote IKEA and ultimately increase sales and revenue. When a shopper accessed the IKEA landing page, they were prompted to provide some personal information. This information allowed IKEA to conduct market research about their buyers and enabled them to execute on more efficient sales and marketing initiatives. With more targeted business strategies, IKEA is able to better reach their target market and therefore increase sales and revenue.

Q: Find condition number for vector of roots Consider $f(z)=z^2+az+b$ we put it's root in vector $[z_1, z_2]^T \in \mathbb{C}^2$. Find condition number in maximum norm of finding the root vector when changing variable a where $a=-2, b=3$
I know in general that for function $g$ finding it's root condition number is given of formula $\displaystyle\frac{1}{g'(x^*)}$ where $g(x^*)=0$ but in our case we have vector and I don't know how to handle it. Calculating $\displaystyle \frac{1}{f'(z_1)}=\frac{1}{i \cdot \sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{f'(z_2)}$ so taking max I get cond. number is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{i \cdot \sqrt{2}}$ ? But it's not real valued so I'm suppose I did something wrong. Thanks in advance

A: You are supposed to compute the first order asymptotic for
$$
\max_{k=1,2}\left|\frac{Δz_k}{Δa}\right|.
$$
In first order, the equation $f(z)=εq(z)$ (the $ε$ to indicate a small perturbation can be written as
$$
f'(z_k)Δz_k=εq(z_k)\iff \frac{Δz_k}ε=\frac{q(z_k)}{f'(z_k)}
$$
thus with $q(z)=-z$ and $Δa=ε$
$$
\frac{Δz_k}{Δa}
=-\frac{z_k}{f'(z_k)}
=-\frac{1\pm i\sqrt2}{\pm i\sqrt2}.
$$

Your cited formula is for the perturbation by constants, i.e., for the variation of $b$.

In the face of what San Francisco leaders say are discriminatory measures taken by President Donald Trump's administration, the city on Tuesday announced the launch of a new campaign that encourages business owners and residents to stand up against discrimination.
The Open To All campaign, a nationwide initiative sponsored by the Movement Advancement Project, seeks to bring attention to the nation's laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, sexual orientation, gender and disability, among other forms of discrimination.
Speaking at Harvey Milk Plaza in the city's Castro District, Mayor London Breed said, "You would think that in 2019, anyone would be able to go to any place that is a public business and be able to get a basic service that they request."
Mentioning a handful of nationwide cases of discrimination, such as a 2018 incident in Philadelphia in which two African American men were asked to leave a Starbucks and a 2012 incident in Colorado in which a bakery refused to provide a cake for a gay wedding, she said, "Here in San Francisco we know that we won't tolerate any of that behavior by anyone who owns a business.
"If your business is open and available and you're a public business, then your business is either open to all or you should find another city to do business in because we won't tolerate that here in San Francisco."
Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said, "In more than half the country, discrimination is still protected under the law. Only 20 states provide full legal protection from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Hate-fueled attacks are also on the rise, with the FBI reporting a 17 percent increase in hate crimes in 2018."
Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution declaring San Francisco an Open To All city during Tuesday's Board of Supervisor's meeting. The resolution, authored by Mandelman, would make the city the first in the nation to be on board with the campaign.
As part of the campaign, businesses throughout the city are being encouraged to prominently display the Open To All signs outside their businesses to show their support.

About Macedonia
If Macedonian isn't your first language, it's essential that your Macedonian language skills are good enough for you to undertake an intensive and challenging academic course that's taught and examined in Macedonian. We expect our future students to achieve a good standard in spoken and written Macedonian.
The Institute of languages runs a two semester course for foreign students. The course is structured in two parts, each spans three months. The fee for the course 2018/2019 is 1,000 EUR in MKD equivalent.
After successfully completing the course and receiving A level certificaes, the attendees can apply at one of the twelve faculties and three academies.
The first step for the prospective students is to gather all necessary documents and submit them to the Ministry of education and science of the Republic of Macedonia for the purpose of nostrification and receiving a decision on recognition of their secondary school diploma. The purpose of the nostrification of the secondary school diploma is to facilitate the access to further higher education.
At the point of submitting the documents to the Ministry of education and science the applicants will receive a receipt with a number and date as a confirmation that their documents have been taken for assessment. Applicants should keep the receipt and submit its copy to the Admission office of Goce Delchev University for the purpose of applying to Macedonian language course.
Foreign students submit the following documents at the foreign student admission office:
A copy of the receipt issued by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Macedonia, notifying that the procedure for legal recognition of your secondary school diploma has already started
Copies of: Diploma for completed secondary education (Apostille seal on the diploma –for the countries that have signed the Hague convention and for the other countries a seal from the Ministry of foreign affairs)
Certificates for each completed secondary school year
Transcript (record of student's grades)
Citizenship certificate
Copy of the first page of the passport (scanned and sent to the email address given below)
Medical certificate, including HIV and HEPATITIS C test
All of these copies must be certified by a public notary in the country the prospective students come from, and then translated in Macedonian by an official interpreter appointed by the court in the Republic of Macedonia and notarized.
The documents should be submitted personally or through an authorized person, who on the other hand has the right to submit documents only for one person during the academic year.
All applicants for students should have completed four-year secondary school, including those coming from Turkey.
After receiving the documents from the candidate, the official representative for foreign students should issue the following documents in period of three days:
Certificate for a full-time student in the preparatory classes for Macedonian language at the Institute for languages, at the Faculty of Philology in Shtip.
A study program of the envisaged education.
The obligation of the candidates is to sign a Contract for beginning a course for learning Macedonian organized by the Institute of languages at the Faculty of Philology. The students are required to take two courses, i.e. three months each, and after successfully passing the exams they receive certificates for A1 level and A2 level of knowledge. The student is required to pay an amount of 500 EUR for one course, or 1000 EUR altogether, on the drawing account listed in the Contract.

Q: Closure in $C([0,1])$ w.r.t. $\|\bullet\|_\infty$ Let $$\cal A=\left\{ f\in C([0,1]): |f(x)-f(y)|\leq5|x-y| \, \text{ for all  } x,y\in [0,1]\right\}$$ What's the closure of $\cal A$  in $C([0,1])$ with respect to the Supremum-Norm?
I think $\cal A$ is already closed and here is my potential proof: The map $C([0,1])\to \overline{ \Bbb R}$ sending $f$ to its Lipschitz constant if it exists, and to $\infty$ if there is no Lipschitz constant is continuous (is that true?) and therefore $\cal A$ is closed since it is the pre-image of the closed set $\{5\}\subset \Bbb R$.

"Save Echo Park" napkin art by Monica Dollison, an introduction
by Staff | posted in: Entertainment, Featured | 1
"Save Echo Park" as we have learned to call this small piece of napkin art is one of many spur-of-the-moment pieces illustrated by local Echo Park artist Monica Dollison.
When I asked her about the piece, she asked, "Where was it found?" Barely recalling it, she said it was one of many illustrations she often leaves behind at different places she visits in town. She draws inspiration from her mood at the time, and the place she's in at the moment.
"Save Echo Park" by Monica Dollison. Photo by @shotbyabel
The napkin is a portrait of a sad girl–most likely Latina–with a tear running down her face and her T-shirt carrying a cautious message about Echo Park. To the side we can see a lotus flower–a signature icon left behind in Monica Dollison's works around town (have you seen more?).
Seeing it in 2014 it is easy to come to assumptions about why the girl is sad and who she wants to save Echo Park from (Development? Gentrification? Hipsters?). And while the viewer is free to draw his conclusions, Monica recalled that at the time she was simply sad about trash she had seen around the neighborhood. It was also around the time that the Echo Park Lake was being rebuilt, she remembered, and she was just hoping that the community and the park wouldn't change so drastically as well.
Little did I know when I first spoke to Monica that this napkin was a lot older than I thought. Little did I know that napkins even survive this long: nearly 4 years to the day.
Monica's signature and date. Photo by @shotbyabel
I told her about how some people on our social media networks easily assumed that this was a response to gentrification (I did too, not knowing the date on the back). She mentioned that she was pleased with the turn out of Echo Park Lake, but is concerned about development and the effects it will have on the history of Echo Park, both its buildings and people.
Credit for finding this napkin goes to @ShotbyAbel who found it at the Vegan House on Sunset Blvd. in Silverlake (2703 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA). There, "You will see this and more drawings," Abel said. "It's hanging on the refrigerator with other drawings."
If you happen to see the napkin living its days well into the future, take a picture and tag us @echoparkforums.
Upcoming Podcast Guest
We will soon be hosting Monica Dollison on our Echo Park Podcast where we will get the opportunity to know more about her and her art work.
"Caricatures and portraits have always been fun to create," she says in her bio, "but my true love is painting. My inspiration and painting style varies as much as my influences–Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keefe and David Hockney as well as many others."
Here's an example of acrylic/newspaper on canvas:
"Why the Long Face? Cher" by Monica Dollison.
And one more Echo Park related illustration:

Check back for the podcast episode to learn more about Monica and to see more of her collection.
Monica's Brief Bio
Monica Dollison is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina and studied at Los Angeles Trade Technical College through a scholarship in Visual Communications. She then obtained a scholarship to study at Art Center College of Design. She has worked in various roles as an animator and artist, including DreamWorks Feature Animation, Disney Feature Animation, ACME FilmWorks and Animation World Network. She has also worked as a caricature artist at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Wow, that's awesome! Can you believe? That's really good.


Submit your photo, and one lucky winner who submits will win an all expense paid trip for TWO to come hang out with me in West Palm Beach, Florida!
In fact, for Millennia, many different Asian cultures have had a profound impact on natural medicine, using ingredients, tools and methods that are only now being re-discovered by modern people interested in a more natural, God-given way to take care of their health...without the hassle, expense and horrible side-effects of many modern prescription drugs pushed by Big Pharma.
Years ago, I remember seeing a leaf that was being carried by the wind. Today, I feel like that leaf. My life is carried along by the unseen hand of God. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that Wholetones would, just like that leaf, be carried to 174 nations, most of which I have never personally visited.
One thing I have learned over the years is this, God never gives us more than we can handle. I would rather be overwhelmed and create more than I ever dreamed possible, than underwhelmed, and produce little. Plato said "Necessity is the mother of invention." A need can become the womb of creation necessary for that need's solution. When we are blessed with a full schedule and we complain, before long, we will find ourselves with an empty one! Believe me, having much to do is far better than having nothing to do….every time!
And this week, I'm going to be headed back on the air on QVC to launch my Wholetones TO GO Gen 2, featuring the music that started it all...Wholetones: The Healing Frequency Music Project.
One of life's greatest consolations is that we are never alone! The word "Emmanuel" means "God with us," even when we don't know He's there. So when you are alone and there appears to be no one who can help, God is there to help… just ask!
ACTIV! Wholetones ACTIVis like a jolt of "sonic" caffeine, it helps you clear the morning fog, gets you over the afternoon hump, powers your workouts, and simply helps you get moving again.
If you have benefited from Wholetones, then you are no stranger to the power of specific frequencies. Above, I shared with you the benefits of BPM's when exercising. Could the combination of specific frequencies and BPM's revolutionize the way we exercise? I believe the answer to be…YES! Remember dear friend the famous saying "use it, or lose it." When we stop moving, muscles atrophy, we lose our "shape," and eventually we lose our confidence.
When the storm is screaming and the odds are heavily stacked against you, go under. Those of us who are very driven tend to see everything as a mountain to climb, another battle to fight, etc.
Music outlets such as Sirius XM radio and Pandora charge a monthly or yearly subscription fee because the music industry wants everyone to "subscribe" to streaming audio, in other words…RENT your music! For a yearly fee, you can access a huge music library, but the minute you end your subscription, or miss a payment…abracadabra, your music disappears!
If you are a resolute person, you will be trusted... and successful.
It is my prayer that the truth and majesty of Christmas will appear just as suddenly during your celebration with family and friends. Our minds, and hearts, (and bodies!) have been subjected to so much political, social, and physical stress in 2018. I am recommending you do what we are doing…turning off our computers, putting everyone's cellphones in a basket, and spending time with the ones who truly matter.
Four years later, I can tell you that we have constantly defied the odds by keeping an even keel. One of my favorite sayings is, "slow and steady wins the race." So many young companies fail because they try to run…before they can walk. At Wholetones, we have chosen to walk…until we can run!
Friends, take some time this week to run a personal diagnostic of your core beliefs. Detect and delete things you believe about yourself that were birthed from a lie.
…we're having a contest, and some lucky couple is going to be hanging with us in the Big Apple! Your airfare, hotel, an amazing dinner, and of course, the amazing Rockettes…100% covered!


You only have to search "web design Cardiff" to be inundated with companies offering digital related services.
A growth in digital companies targeting industries such as health, travel and finance have helped spearhead growth and evidence points to this continuing as the economy tentatively gains strength. The question is why? What is occurring in South Wales that has inspired confidence and encouraged growth?
First, the Welsh Government continues to be committed to supporting entrepreneurial endeavours throughout Wales. This has undoubtedly persuaded talented individuals to not leave Wales and disappear up the M4 to London. Second, the emergence of the Cardiff cluster – as identified in the Tech Nation Report "Powering The Digital Economy" – has created a digital business community which gives further confidence to those considering launching a business in the Welsh capital. Third, the attractiveness of Wales as a place to live is hard to discount. The low cost of living, cheap office rental costs and superb transport infrastructure linking South Wales to the rest of the UK make starting a business here less daunting, regardless of any government business incentive. Furthermore, the Brecons, Pembrokeshire, Gower and a thousand other majestic sites guaranteed to reinvigorate the soul, surely make it hard to up sticks and chase the smog up the M4.
The success of the support shown by the Welsh Government and the overall attractiveness of Wales, is made clear when you compare South Wales with the level of growth occurring in digital industries across the UK. Between 2010 and 2013 – at the height of "austerity" – South Wales experienced an 87% increase in the formation of digital companies, compared to 53% across the UK*. South Wales is also amongst the top five fastest growing clusters of hi-tech companies in the UK*. Unsurprisingly Cardiff is at the heart of this growth, with start-ups and small businesses leading the charge, but thankfully it is not exclusively occurring in the Welsh capital as the spread of digital start-ups match population density throughout Wales.
Starting out on your own in South Wales?
For those of us starting out on your own, it is incredibly reassuring to know that we have the backing of the Government. The growth of the digital industry in South Wales – when compared to the all defining impact experienced by the coal industry – reassures us of the bright future ahead. Especially when considering how we are not reliant on a finite material such as coal. The seam is rich with talent and there is much to be positive about, providing we continue to encourage talent to stay and help grow a digital cluster in South Wales to rival any found elsewhere in the UK.

This section will attract lot of sports fans. This shows global news for lot of sports. Click on any news to see its details. I was hoping to see video clippings of sports as well in their news, but it showed only text / images in the news. I hope Al Jazeera adds some video clips related to sports in this app for Windows 8.
Spotlight and Opinion Sections:
These sections show Spotlight and Opinion news from Al Jazeera. The Opinion section worked completely find and had some great content. However, when I clicked on any news in Spotlight section, it only showed news headline, summary, and an image. The main content was missing. It behaved in similar manner as In Depth news section. Probably a bug.
Al Jazeera Blogs on Windows 8:
Blogs section on this app shows latest blogs from Al Jazeera. I really enjoyed reading them. I noticed an interesting bug here: in couple of news items, the entire content was repeated twice. This was not the case with all the blog entries, but I noticed this in two of the four blogs that were displayed on the homepage of this app. It doesn't causes any problem, though, and I thoroughly enjoying reading the content.
Latest Al Jazeera Shows:
Last section in the app is Latest Shows from Al Jazeera (English). You can click on the section header to see more shows. Just click on any show and it will start playing. As is the case with Al Jazeera LIVE, the streaming speed here is pretty good. I didn't see a switch between HD / SD here, though.
My Opinion of Al Jazeera app for Windows 8:
I have to start by giving kudos to Al Jazeera for making such a fantastic app for Windows 8. What I love most in this app is the feature to watch Al Jazeera LIVE. The content is always great, in line with high quality news that Al Jazeera provides. There are a couple of bugs in the app, but I am sure Al Jazeera would quash them quickly.
If you want to experience unbiased news, do try this app.

Va néixer a Mallorca el 13 de l'agost de 1892 i morí de manera sobtada als 52 anys a Newark (Arkansas) el 28 de desembre de1945.

Fou un compositor religiós franciscà conegut com el "Padre Portugués" pel col·lectiu hispano-catòlic americà. La seva família era popular dins el poble, ja que treballaven com a comerciants d'ametles i forners, i com industrials de l'obra entre altres activitats, però Mateu prest se sentí interessat pel Senyor i ingressà a un convent al poble d'Artà.

Per la seva veu tan selecta destacà per efectuar diverses audicions al voltant de l'illa. Aquestes audicions vol que s'encarreguin d'ensenyar i divulgar el cant litúrgic gregorià. De fet, fou entre els 15 i 16 anys fou quan va escriure la seva col·lecció de Parenostres. Amb tot això, va ser ordenat sacerdot a Llucmajor el 25 d'abril de 1916, encara que després d'un breu període passà a exercir al poble on nasqué, Artà. Allí compaginà la tasca de sacerdot amb els seus interessos musicals com l'estudi i la producció. Durant aquest període podem destacar peces com la Missa Seràfica a 4 veus per a cor i orquestra, a més de musicar els Goigs a la Mare de Déu de Cura. La Superioritat va veure el potencial de Mateu i el destinà als Estats Units on acabà sent professor de Música a la Universitat de Loreto (Pensilvania) i organista i director de cor a la catedral d'Altona.

Des de 1928 fins a la seva mort va estar destinat a la parròquia de San José de Newmark. El 1941 l'obsequiaren gràcies a les seves noces de fidel amb un orgue que es va instal·lar a Artà per decisió del compositor. També esmentar la importància de la seva figura en terres llunyanes on els fidels veneraren amb una commemoraració a l'autor: una làpida de bronze i una dedicatòria on posava: "En memòria del muy amado P. Mateo Amorós Sancho, TOR, Victario Coadjuntor de esta iglesia. 1929-1945". Entre les seves composicions la més destacable és la ja anomenada col·lecció de Parenostres per a cor.

The difference between concrete and timber is that concrete is a material used for construction whereas timber is a piece of wood.
Both of the materials are used for the various construction purposes such as laying the foundations of the house or for the flooring purposes etc.
Concrete floor is used as a sub floor for installing the timber floor on it. Timber can be repaired and replaced without much demarcation whereas concrete needs to be demolished and repoured in the case of a change or makeover. Timber can scratch and indent whereas concrete can crack. Concrete can hold direct contact of water and resist whereas timber can be damaged when it comes in contact with water.
Concrete is a man made material that can be sealed, stamped or cut for various decorative or construction purposes whereas timber is a natural product of nature and needs to be painted, polished or sealed for longevity. Timber needs more maintenance and care as compared to concrete.
Timber wood for the construction purposes is cut or pressed into planks or boards whereas concrete is reinforced with steel rods and bars to be used as a construction material. Timber is a generic building material whereas concrete is the predominant building material of present age. Timber suits various types of weather conditions for just any type of structure. Concrete is used in conjunction with ironwork for strength and has low tensile strength. Timber can be very flexible and can keep strength when compressed or bent.
Timber house reinforced with steel is the best choice of material for construction purposes in earthquake zones. Reinforced concrete is much cheaper than timber. It is used for supporting the structures. Concrete structures and constructions are superior to timber frame. Timber is much lighter in weight as compared to concrete but concrete has better insulation properties and has a high thermal storage capacity as compared to timber. Concrete homes retain heat and radiate.
Timber when used for decking may become slippery whereas concrete is less slippery and would not warp or buckle. Concrete has more longevity as compared to timber. The common characteristics of concrete are cracking, measling and coloring whereas timber surface can blemish, crack and hairline cracks may sometimes appear.
1. Concrete is a man made material whereas timber is a piece of wood.
2. Concrete buildings last for a long time and need low maintenance as compared to wooden or timber structures.
3. Concrete is environment friendly and has high thermal efficiency as compared to timber.
4. Timber is largely used as a construction material in the earthquake zones.
5. Timber is tensile and resists bending whereas concrete has low tensile and hard in nature.

Der Bahnhof Minami-Wakkanai (jap. , Minami-Wakkanai-eki) ist ein Bahnhof auf der japanischen Insel Hokkaidō. Er befindet sich in der Unterpräfektur Sōya auf dem Gebiet der Stadt Wakkanai.

Beschreibung
Minami-Wakkanai ist ein Durchgangsbahnhof und früherer Trennungsbahnhof an der Sōya-Hauptlinie. Diese führt von Asahikawa über Nayoro nach Wakkanai und wird von der Gesellschaft JR Hokkaido betrieben. Sämtliche hier verkehrenden Züge halten an diesem Bahnhof. Täglich verbinden zwei Schnellzugpaare Super Sōya (bestehend aus Neigetriebwagen) die Präfekturhauptstadt Sapporo mit Asahikawa und Wakkanai. Hinzu kommt einmal täglich der aus konventionellem Rollmaterial zusammengesetzte Sarobetsu auf derselben Verbindung. Regionalzüge verkehren dreimal täglich von Wakkanai nach Otoineppu. Auf dem Bahnhofsvorplatz befindet sich eine Bushaltestelle, die von einer Stadtbuslinie der Gesellschaft Sōya Bus bedient wird.

Der Bahnhof liegt südlich des Stadtzentrums und ist von Südosten nach Nordwesten ausgerichtet. Er besitzt drei Gleise, die alle dem Personenverkehr dienen. Sie liegen am Hausbahnsteig und an einem überdachten Mittelbahnsteig, der durch eine gedeckte Überführung mit dem Empfangsgebäude an der Nordostseite der Anlage verbunden ist. Bis 1952 befand sich der Bahnhof Minami-Wakkanai knapp einen Kilometer weiter nordwestlich. Es handelte sich dabei um einen Kopfbahnhof mit einem Durchgangsgleis an der Seite. Von den einst weitläufigen Abstell- und Güteranlagen ist kaum noch etwas erhalten geblieben, da das Gelände mittlerweile zum größten Teil überbaut wurde. Weiterhin genutzt werden zwei Depots mit je zwei Gleisen, das eine zum Abstellen von Zügen und das andere für Bahndienstfahrzeuge. Darüber hinaus existiert eine nicht mehr verwendete Drehscheibe.

Geschichte

Ab 1896 bauten die staatliche Gesellschaft Hokkaidō Kansetsu Tetsudō und später das Eisenbahnministerium an der Sōya-Hauptlinie. Einerseits sollte der noch kaum besiedelte Norden Hokkaidōs erschlossen werden, andererseits eine leistungsfähige Verbindung zur Präfektur Karafuto auf der damals japanischen Südhälfte der Insel Sachalin entstehen. Bis zur Vollendung des Projekts verging mehr als ein Vierteljahrhundert. Der letzte Abschnitt der Sōya-Hauptlinie nördlich von Otoineppu wurde zurückgestellt. Stattdessen entstand ab 1912 zunächst eine Alternativroute entlang des Ochotskischen Meeres, die Tenpoku-Linie. Deren letztes Teilstück zwischen Onishibetsu und dem Stadtrand von Wakkanai ging am 1. November 1922 in Betrieb. Am 1. Mai 1923 richtete das Eisenbahnministerium eine Fährlinie über die La-Pérouse-Straße nach Ōdomari (heute Korsakow) an der Südspitze Sachalins ein.

Die Bahnstrecke endete in einem Kopfbahnhof mit sieben (später acht) Gleisen, die Entfernung zum Schiffsanleger betrug ungefähr zwei Kilometer. Fahrgäste nach Sachalin mussten sich zu Fuß zur Fähre begeben, während Güter in Karren transportiert wurden. Mittlerweile hatten die Arbeiten am noch fehlenden Teil der Sōya-Hauptlinie begonnen. Das Teilstück in Richtung Süden nach Kabutonuma wurde am 25. Juni 1924 eröffnet, zwei Jahre später war die Strecke vollendet und die nördlichste Stadt Hokkaidōs somit auf zwei verschiedenen Routen erreichbar. Um die Umsteigebeziehungen zu verbessern, beschloss das Eisenbahnministerium, die Sōya-Hauptlinie vom Stadtrand zu einem neuen Bahnhof in Hafennähe zu verlängern. Die Eröffnung der Teilstücks zum Hafenbahnhof Wakkanai-minato erfolgte am 26. Dezember 1928. Die Verlängerung war wegen Platzmangels als Zweigstrecke errichtet worden, weshalb Züge nach einem Halt im Kopfbahnhof zurücksetzen und danach auf dem einzigen Durchfahrtsgleis daran vorbeifahren mussten.

Am 1. Februar 1939 erhielt der Kopfbahnhof Wakkanai die neue Bezeichnung Minami-Wakkanai, während man den bisherigen Namen auf den Hafenbahnhof übertrug. Die ab 1949 zuständige Japanische Staatsbahn verlegte den Bahnhof Minami-Wakkanai um etwa einen Kilometer nach Süden in die Nähe der Verzweigung von Sōya-Hauptlinie und Tenpoku-Linie. Sie eröffnete den neuen Durchgangsbahnhof am 6. November 1952 und gab den Kopfbahnhof auf, was die Betriebsabläufe deutlich vereinfachte. Aus Kostengründen stellte die Staatsbahn am 1. April 1983 den Güterumschlag ein, am 14. März 1985 auch die Gepäckaufgabe. Im Rahmen der Staatsbahnprivatisierung ging der Bahnhof am 1. April 1987 in den Besitz der neuen Gesellschaft JR Hokkaido über. Diese legte am 1. Mai 1989 die Tenpoku-Linie still.

This weekend was my 9 year-Italy Anniversary! 9 years ago I packed my bag and left my country for a few months.
I changed my job in the Netherlands and needed to wait a year to start my new job as a flight attendant for KLM. Waiting a year in the Netherlands was too long for me so I decided to go to Italy for some months. I wanted to experience the Italian life! It became Rome and months became years. I never went to KLM but got a job as a flight attendant for an Italian company instead. Now, 9 years later, I'm still in Italy and still going strong. So much has happened in these 9 years, so much has changed… Changed jobs (several times) and became a mommy of an incredible boy! It hasn't always been easy, but I'm happy to still be here.
So this weekend was my Italy anniversary and I got to celebrate it with a dear friend from the Netherlands that was over to visit me and meet my son Samuele for the first time. We had a fabulous time together and obviously enjoyed Italy's nature ánd Italy's food!! Thank god she loves the Italian cuisine just as much as I do so we ate a lot and all delicious!
But how much I like and even prefer the Italian food over Dutch food there are always a few dishes I miss from my home country. Something I used to make sometimes in the weekend for breakfast is the yummy Wentelteefjes, called French Toast in English. Extremely simple, but sooooo good. A perfect way to start your Sunday if you ask me.
So (with a bit of a delay…sorry for that) finally tonight the recipe of Dutch Wentelteefjes.. yum!
Beat together egg and milk.
Heat a lightly buttered skillet over medium-high heat.
Dunk each slice of bread in egg mixture, soaking both sides. Place in pan, and cook on both sides until golden.
Top with ref fruit and a bit of maple syrup.
