Aesthetics is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about Zyzz, that's what he trained for. He was/is admired for his physic, and for good reason — He was shredded.
So how did he do it? That is the question. Luckily enough I've found enough information floating around the internet about his routine that I'm posting the WHOLE thing right here! So bookmark this page!
First however, I must note that it has become apparent to me that anyone who seems to build a lot of muscle does a LOT of sets. I think that is key to building a body that would make Hercules jealous.
If we study the routine posted below, we'll find that Zyzz was not scared of doing set after set, punishing his muscles repeatedly. This is a 5 day split, very similar to Lazar Angelov's workout plan in my opinion. One thing they both feature is a lot of sets.
Get it yet? A LOT OF SETS.
You can't be afraid to hurt your muscles. Not bad hurt, but good hurt. Too many people quit too early. They get a small pump and wrap it up after 3 or 4 sets. I look to guys like Zyzz, and follow their routines to help maximize my gains.

What: Last night, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, DJ Khaled, and Kenny Burns hosted CÎROC The New Year powered by DeLeón Tequila at Diddy's Miami Estate. Diddy and DJ Khaled rang in 2018 alongside notables including Halsey, Future, Travis Scott, Teyana Taylor, Cassie, Amber Valleta, Gabby Sidibe, and Al Sharpton, amongst others.
The lavish outdoor bash encouraged guests to celebrate the New Year in style. Just before the stroke of midnight, Diddy toasted the crowd and counted down from the rooftop, culminating in a stunning display of fireworks.
Once the clock struck midnight, guests enjoyed sets from D'Nice and DJ E-Feezy. Salt Bae prepared burgers and bites for guests to enjoy along with custom-created CÎROC and DeLeón cocktails – including the Midnight Kiss made with CÎROC Ultra Premium Vodka, pomegranate juice and finished with ginger beer and the Beso Caliente made with DeLeón Tequila, lemon juice, simple syrup, bitters and topped with sparkling wine.
Additional sponsors for the event include Revolt and AQUAhydrate.

Ian Paul Livingston, Baron Livingston of Parkhead (born 28 July 1964), is a Scottish businessman who was formerly chief executive of BT Group. A Conservative member of the House of Lords, he previously served as the UK government's Minister of State for Trade and Investment.

He was created a life peer on 15 July 2013 taking the title Baron Livingston of Parkhead.

Early and personal life
The fourth generation son of Polish-Lithuanian Jews who arrived in Scotland 120 years ago, Livingston's family owned a factory making flying jackets and police uniforms. Brought up in Kelvinside, his father was a general practitioner who practised medicine in Parkhead.

Livingston was educated at Hillhead Primary School before attending the independent Kelvinside Academy. He married his university contemporary, Deborah, in 1989. They live at Elstree, Hertfordshire, with their two children (one son, one daughter).

Career
After graduating with an economics degree from the University of Manchester at the age of 19, he trained as an accountant with Arthur Andersen, where, on assignment, he became the first chief accountant of The Independent newspaper. Livingston then moved to Bank of America, and then private equity firm 3i.

After being spotted by Sir Stanley Kalms, he moved to the corporate development department of Dixons Group in 1991, before becoming the youngest FTSE 100 finance director at the age of 32.

After the sale of Freeserve, Livingston joined BT Group as finance director, before he took up the post of CEO Retail, on 7 February 2005. He replaced Ben Verwaayen as Group CEO on 1 June 2008.

Livingston was a non-executive director of Celtic F.C., where he was appointed to the board on 1 October 2007. In 2015, after he voted for cutting tax credits, Celtic fans launched a petition to have him removed from the board. Livingston resigned from the board in June 2017.

Livingston became Chairman of Currys plc in August 2017.

Click here to contact the BLÜCHER Marine division.
BLÜCHER sanitary discharge systems have proven their functionality and reliability in over 3,275,000 yards of piping installed in more than 900 vessels. Cruise ships, ferries, luxury yachts, naval vessels, cargo vessels, off-shore platforms and offshore vessels are all places you'll find drainage solutions from BLÜCHER.
The marine industry relies on the performance of our solutions at sea, where durability and light weight are essential. Clean and hygienic conditions in cabins, kitchens and sanitary facilities are important elements contributing to efficiency onboard. Properly treated stainless steel has a uniquely smooth surface that guarantees maximum flow capacity. Due to its low surface roughness, bacterial growth on stainless steel is significantly less than on, for example, plastic and ordinary steel surfaces.
Stainless steel is strong, durable, pressure- and chemical-resistant. Offshore platforms, naval vessels, and commercial ships of all kinds appreciate the obvious benefits of BLÜCHER installations. Shaped without rough corners or edges, cleaning and maintaining stainless steel takes minimum effort and time. The removable water trap provides easy rodding access. In addition, stainless steel is a light-weight material contributing to the total low weight of the vessel.
BLÜCHER drainage systems have been developed in co-operation with some of the most progressive yards. The modular system provides an optimum solution for any deck construction. BLÜCHER provides drainage solutions removing water from galleys, door openings, showers, deck areas and engine rooms. Using stainless steel sanitary discharge systems onboard provide countless advantages over other materials. Low weight, fire protection and hygiene are of great importance in connection with marine applications, not to mention the classic and aesthetic look of stainless steel design.


More details will arrive this summer surrounding the conference and how you can get involved. Until then, my focus is squarely on delivering our jam-packed 2019 in-person offerings and virtual learnings (See Events). I'm also working to support our ongoing effort to Reimagine Council Membership, intended to reshape the dues structure and community foundation value-proposition to benefit existing and future members of the Council.
Thanks for all you do in advancing community philanthropy. Keep inspiring others to do good and I hope to see many of you in a few weeks at our Leading Together 2019 conference in Miami.
This week a selfie captured Bryan Del Rosario, Council Attorney; Eric Hozempa, Longmont Community Foundation and AdNet Conference Chair; and me in New Orleans during the AdNet Conference, where 200 community foundation development professionals came together to network, learn, and embrace change.
I'll be in DC next week (Apr 16-18) before heading to Miami (Apr 29-May 1) for our Leading Together Conference. Looking forward to seeing over 150 community foundation leaders at the conference of 800 attendees and partners!
When we gather in Miami in a few weeks for our upcoming Leading Together Conference, I'm excited to discuss the massive pressures weighing down our communities, but the power of our sector to alleviate and propel us forward.
Prior to the start of Leading Together 2019, in the afternoon of April 29 (Noon-5 pm), there are several pre-conference sessions.I'll be leading the session U.S. Communities in Crisis and welcome attendees to join.
This session features several community foundation and sector leaders and influencers including, Mark Brewer, Central Florida Foundation; Sabrina Wu, East Bay Community Foundation; Scott Hansen, Board Chair, Ventura County Community Foundation; Brennan Gould, Charlottesville Area Community Foundation; and Isaiah Oliver, Community Foundation of Greater Flint.
Focused on telling the community foundation story as critiques against organized philanthropy intensifies—how should community foundations position their work and show their value? In addition, we will be joined by resource partners, CFLeads, CFInsights, CEONet Affinity Group, National Standards Board Chair, and Council's Policy Advisors and Technology Teams to discuss trending issues and solutions.
The Council is monitoring the progress of recently amended California AB 1712, a bill that would require new reporting from charities that sponsor donor advised funds. The Council is working with the League of California Community Foundations, Philanthropy California and others to properly respond to this proposed legislation.
Require the California Attorney General's office to enact rules and regulations that would require charities that sponsor donor advised funds to provide information about individual funds or accounts.
The values of donor advised fund assets invested in mutual funds or other vehicles in entities controlled or under common control with an entity that provides administrative or investment services to the donor advised fund sponsor.
This proposed State legislation demonstrates the importance of recently enacted Active Funds Policy recommendations by National Standards, and the relevance of the Council's federal public policy team monitoring activities happening locally that could have ripple effects across the country. Continue to monitor the Washington Snapshot for ongoing developments.

Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award
In Major League Baseball, the Manager of the Year Award is an honor given annually since 1983 to the best managers in the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). The winner is voted on by 30 members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA). Each places a vote for first, second, and third place among the managers of each league. The manager with the highest score in each league wins the award.
Several managers have won the award in a season when they led their team to 100 or more wins. Lou Piniella won 116 games with the Seattle Mariners in 2001, the most by a winning manager, and Joe Torre won 114 with the New York Yankees in 1998. Sparky Anderson and Tony La Russa finished with identical 104–58 records in 1984 and 1988, respectively. Three National League managers, including Dusty Baker, Whitey Herzog, and Larry Dierker, have exceeded the century mark as well. Baker's San Francisco Giants won 103 games in 1993; Dierker's 1998 Houston Astros won 102 and Herzog led the Cardinals to 101 wins in the award's third season.
In 1991, Bobby Cox became the first manager to win the award in both leagues, winning with the Atlanta Braves and having previously won with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1985. La Russa, Piniella, Jim Leyland, Bob Melvin, Davey Johnson, and Joe Maddon have since won the award in both leagues. Cox and La Russa have won the most awards, with four. Baker, Leyland, Piniella, Showalter and Maddon have won three times. In 2005, Cox became the first manager to win the award in consecutive years. Jeff Banister and Joe Maddon are the most recent winners.
Because of the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike cut the season short and cancelled the post-season, the BBWAA writers effectively created a de facto mythical national championship (similar to college football) by naming managers of the unofficial league champions (lead the leagues in winning percentage) (Buck Showalter and Felipe Alou) as Managers of the Year. Two franchises, the New York Mets and the Milwaukee Brewers, have not had a manager win the award.
Only six managers have won the award while leading a team that finished outside the top two spots in its division. Ted Williams was the first, after leading the "expansion" Washington Senators to a third-place finish (and, at 86-76, their only winning season) in the American League East, in 1969. Buck Rodgers won the award in 1987 with the third-place Expos. Tony Peña and Showalter won the award with third-place teams in back-to-back years: Peña with the Royals in 2003, and Showalter with the Rangers in 2004. Joe Girardi is the only manager to win the award with a fourth-place team (2006 Florida Marlins); he is also the only manager to win the award after fielding a team with a losing record.
In 2016, Terry Francona was named American League Manager of the Year.

Celebrating Growth
As our school year draws to a close, we can often wonder where the time went. And sometimes even wonder what we achieved!
But if we take a step back and consider the growth that has taken place in our students' lives over the last 12 months, we are reminded that our time has been well spent. Sometimes it's hard to see growth when we're in the middle of everything, but it's there.
As students move from one year level to the next, and some from Primary to High School, or Middle to Senior School, there can be significant changes. The holiday period is a good time to talk with your children and young people about any concerns or worries they may have about the new year. They may simply need the opportunity to talk through their concerns with you as their parent or caregiver, and be reassured that teachers and office staff will be there to look out for them, and are available to talk through any questions or concerns that they may have.
We would again like to express our thankfulness to our school community for your support throughout the year, and pray that each one has a safe, restful and peace-filled Christmas break.
In this final issue of Cedar News for 2022, Pastor Jeremy Wright reminds us of the gift of Christmas, we look at the Junior and Upper Primary celebrations, and the Year 6, Year 9 and Year 12 Graduations, as well as some important information for the start of the 2023 School Year.

High School Graduations

Year 6 Graduation
A special Primary School celebration, as Year 6s move to High School.
I'm happy to admit it, one of my favourite things about Christmas is the presents!
There's an excitement about seeing a pile of gifts under the tree that hasn't left me since I was a kid. Who are they for? What's inside? I'd pick them up and feel them. Were they soft? Heavy? Did they smell like chocolate? I'd look for any hint that might reveal the mystery of what I was getting.
We give gifts at Christmas to display love to the people who mean so much to us. We hope that these carefully selected gifts will be well-received, useful, and just what they wanted. When that happens, it's a special moment.
Like an excited dad, God was giving hints about the gift he had prepared for us centuries before the gift was revealed.
Isaiah 7:14 says, "The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be pregnant. She will have a son, and she will name him Immanuel."
Isaiah 9:6 tells us, "A child has been born to us; God has given a son to us. He will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be Wonderful Counsellor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace."
Micah 5:2 says, "Bethlehem, you are one of the smallest towns in the nation of Judah. But the Lord will choose one of your people to rule the nation—someone whose family goes back to ancient times."
It's pretty obvious when you gather the hints together that he's talking about Jesus Christ. God gave us all these hints (and many more) so that we would be excited for the Gift when he finally arrived! So that we would realise that Jesus Christ is just what we needed.
The Best Gift
Christmas has always been about gifts. On the first Christmas, Jesus Christ was presented with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But, of course, Jesus Christ is the ultimate gift. God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Receive that gift. Enjoy that gift. Share that gift!
Pastor Jeremy Wright, Cedar College Pastor

CHAPELS & ASSEMBLIES
Plenty of Celebrations
The Primary School has been abuzz with excitement, following two weeks filled with performances and graduations.
Junior Primary
The Junior Primary presented a Matinée and a Glorious Night of musical celebration titled "Joy to the World" during Week 8.
The Matinée performance was an opportunity for Grandparents and special friends to join us on campus for the first time in many years, much to the excitement of the Junior Primary students.
Through music and dance, the Reception students reminded the packed Auditorium about the joy of gift-giving, and that the best gift of all is Jesus! The Year 1s celebrated the Nativity and the birth of the King, while the Year 2s celebrated the many families at Cedar that have come from different countries around the world, reminding us that Jesus came for everyone!
The highlight of the evening was saved for the end, when the entire Junior Primary took to the stage to sing "O What a Glorious Night". The spectacular finale concluded an exciting night for students and parents, turning thoughts to that first glorious Christmas night, when the Christ was born.
The Year 3, 4 and 5 students held their celebrations earlier this week, with some exciting performances that, together, reminded us that with God in our lives, we can overcome the challenges that we face.
The Year 6s wowed the audience with their dance item "The Dragon", which told the story of an enthusiastic video gamer who finds himself in a battle between the warriors and the dragon. While we may sometime battle the darkness, we can know that in the end, the enemy will be defeated once and for all. The stunning choreography was provided by Mrs Laura Carson, and we thank her for the time she gave to our Year 6s in order to produce this item.
In Year 3, the students delighted the audience with a bright, colourful "Happy Dance", and the Year 4s followed this with the joy and hope that each "New Day" brings. The finale was presented by the Year 5 students, whose item, "Pandemic", took us through the challenges of COVID and the importance of trusting God and leaning on each other. All three items were choreographed by Cedar's Performing Arts Teacher, Mrs Amy Webster.
Graduation events were held for Year 6, Year 9 and Year 12 students over the last four weeks, as students were presented with their respective Bronze, Silver and Gold Principal's Medallions.
Year 12 Graduation
The Year 12 Graduation, which followed their Formal evening, marked the conclusion of school for our 75 Year 12s, with 28 students completing their R-12 schooling at Cedar. It was exciting to have so many parents and friends attend the evening, which recognised academic achievements, character growth, sporting achievements, as well as specific curriculum and distinctive awards.
We wish all of our Year 12s, and their families, the very best as they take new steps into Tertiary education and the workforce, and look forward to hearing about, and celebrating, their SACE results in the coming weeks.
Students in Year 9 celebrated the conclusion of their time in Middle School at their official graduation ceremony in Week 8.
The transition from Middle to Senior School is a significant step for students as their time in Middle School draws to a close.
The Middle School graduation featured performances by two Year 9 bands, who took us back to the 80s with their renditions of well-known classics "Take on Me" and "Sweet Child of Mine". Students' creativity in poetry and Visual Art were also highlighted on the night, which ended with the presentation of the Dux, Academic and Character Awards.
As each of the Year 9s were presented with their Principal's Silver Medallion, they were reminded by Pastor Jeremy that this was a significant marker along the road, and to make the time to enjoy the journey ahead as they move into Senior School in 2023.
The final graduation was held this week, marking the end of Primary School for our 56 Year 6 students.
The week before graduation, the Year 6s held their Celebration Luncheon as they counted down the final days of life in the Primary School. Monday evening was a time to reflect on those years, as they were presented with their Principal's Bronze Medallion.
The Years 6s also presented their dance item "The Dragon", as well as work from their STEM elective, and had the opportunity to look back over the year's events with mixed emotions as they begin to prepare for the new journey ahead. Cedar's Director of Middle School Student Development welcomed the Year 6s to Middle School, and the evening concluded with a burst of celebration!
Thank you to all of our parents and families for celebrating with our Year 6s, we look forward to continuing to connect with you during the years ahead, throughout your High School journey.

I'm watching a Brazilian film called "Rat Fever" (A Febre do Rato) by Cláudio Assis. It's a black and white film with beautiful photography and features a vociferous street poet called Zizo. Remember when we were like Zizo? Big mouth poets, rabble rousers, creative and cretinous? Whatever happened to us? If everyone else is an 'emerging' writer these days, then maybe we are 'retreating' writers. Friend, do you remember the blue storm, the night it rained and never stopped? We raised the large black umbrella, put our heads inside it, and never came out again.


The manchineel tree (Hippomane mancinella) is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). It is native to tropical southern North America and northern South America.
The name "manchineel" (sometimes written "manchioneel") as well as the specific epithet mancinella is from Spanish manzanilla ("little apple"), from the superficial resemblance of its fruit and leaves to those of an apple tree. A present-day Spanish name is manzanilla de la muerte, "little apple of death". This refers to the fact that manchineel is one of the most dangerous trees in the world. Manchineel is also known as the beach apple.
Manchineel is native to the Caribbean, the U.S. state of Florida, The Bahamas, Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.
The manchineel tree can be found on coastal beaches and in brackish swamps where it grows among mangroves. It provides excellent natural windbreaks and its roots stabilize the sand, thus helping to prevent beach erosion.
Hippomane mancinella, the evergreen manchineel tree, grows up to 15 metres (49 ft) tall. It has reddish-greyish bark, small greenish-yellow flowers, and shiny green leaves. The leaves are simple, alternate, very finely serrated or toothed, and 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long.
Spikes of small greenish flowers are followed by fruits, which are similar in appearance to an apple, are green or greenish-yellow when ripe. The fruit is poisonous, as is every other part of the tree.
All parts of the tree contain strong toxins, some unidentified. Its milky white sap contains phorbol and other skin irritants, producing strong allergic contact dermatitis. Standing beneath the tree during rain will cause blistering of the skin from mere contact with this liquid (even a small drop of rain with the milky substance in it will cause the skin to blister). The sap has also been known to damage the paint on cars. Burning the tree may cause ocular injuries if the smoke reaches the eyes. Contact with its milky sap (latex) produces bullous dermatitis, acute keratoconjunctivitis and possibly large corneal epithelial defects.
The fruit is possibly fatal if eaten; however, "fatalities from ingestion are not reported in the modern literature" and "ingestion may produce severe gastroenteritis with bleeding, shock, bacterial superinfection, and the potential for airway compromise due to edema. Patients with a history of ingestion and either oropharyngeal burns or gastrointestinal symptoms should be evaluated for admission into hospital. Care is supportive."
When ingested, the fruit is reportedly "pleasantly sweet" at first, with a subsequent "strange peppery feeling ..., gradually progress[ing] to a burning, tearing sensation and tightness of the throat". Symptoms continue to worsen until the patient can "barely swallow solid food because of the excruciating pain and the feeling of a huge obstructing pharyngeal lump".
In some parts of its range, many trees carry a warning sign (for example on Curaçao), while others are marked with a red "X" on the trunk to indicate danger. In the French Antilles the trees are often marked with a painted red band a few feet above the ground. On Bonaire, however, trees are unmarked.
Although the plant is toxic to many birds and other animals, the black-spined iguana (Ctenosaura similis) is known to eat the fruit and even live among the limbs of the tree.
The tree contains 12-deoxy-5-hydroxyphorbol-6-gamma-7-alpha-oxide, hippomanins, mancinellin, and sapogenin, phloracetophenone-2,4-dimethylether is present in the leaves, while the fruits possess physostigmine.
A poultice of arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) was used by the Arawak and Taíno as an antidote against such poisons. The Caribs were also known to poison the water supply of their enemies with the leaves. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León died shortly after an injury incurred in battle with the Calusa in Florida—being struck by an arrow that had been poisoned with manchineel sap.
Despite the inherent dangers associated with handling it, the tree has been used as a source of timber by Caribbean carpenters for centuries. It must be cut and left to dry in the sun to remove the sap. A gum can be produced from the bark which reportedly treats edema, while the dried fruits have been used as a diuretic.
The manchineel tree is listed as an endangered species in Florida.
William Ellis, ship's surgeon for James Cook on his third and final voyage, wrote: "On the fourth, a party of men were sent to cut wood, as the island apparently afforded plenty of that article; amongst other trees they unluckily cut down several of the manchineel, the juice of which getting into their eyes, rendered them blind for several days."
Alexandre Exquemelin, author of the book The Buccaneers of America wrote of his experience with the "tree called mancanilla, or dwarf-apple-tree" when in Hispaniola (modern day Haiti/Dominican Republic): "One day being hugely tormented with mosquitoes or gnats, and as yet unacquainted with the nature of this tree, I cut a branch thereof, to serve me instead of a fan, but all my face swelled the next day and filled with blisters, as if it were burnt to such a degree that I was blind for three days."
Nicholas Cresswell, in his journal entry for Friday, September 16, 1774, mentions: "The Mangeneel Apple has the smell and appearance of an English Apple, but small, grows on large trees, generally along the Seashore. They are rank poison. I am told that one apple is sufficient to kill 20 people. This poison is of such a malignant nature that a single drop of rain or dew that falls from the tree upon your skin will immediately raise a blister. Neither Fruit or Wood is of any use, that I can learn."
In Giacomo Meyerbeer's opera L'Africaine (1865), the heroine Sélika dies by inhaling the perfume of the poisonous blossoms of the manchineel tree.
In the story "The Beckoning Hand" (in the 1887 collection of that name) by Grant Allen, manchineel is used in a cigarette to poison the smoke.
The tree is recorded as the world's most dangerous tree by the Guinness World Records.

ABDUL KALAM
Posted on 04 November 2015 at 10:15
Born in 1931 in Dhanushkodi, India, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam joined India's defense department after graduating from the Madras Institute of Technology. He was a central figure in the development of the country's nuclear capabilities, and was hailed as a national hero after a series of successful tests in 1998. Kalam served as India's president for one term, and died of a heart attack on July 27, 2015.
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born into a Muslim family on October 15, 1931, on the island of Dhanushkodi off the southeastern coast of India. He developed an early fascination with flight by watching birds, which developed into an interest in aeronautics after he saw a newspaper article about a British fighter plane.
Despite his modest beginnings – his dad built and rented boats – Kalam was a bright student who showed promise in science and mathematics. He attended St. Joseph's College, and went on to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology.
Rise to the Presidency
His hopes of becoming a fighter pilot was dashed when he narrowly missed out on a spot with the Indian Air Force. Kalam instead joined the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) as a senior scientific assistant in 1958. After moving to the newly formed Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in 1969, he was named project director of the SLV-III, the first satellite launch vehicle designed and produced on Indian soil.
Returning to the DRDO as director in 1982, Kalam implemented the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. He then became the senior scientific adviser to India's defense minister in 1992, a position he used to campaign for the development of nuclear tests.
Kalam was a key figure in the May 1998 Pokhran-II tests, in which five nuclear devices were detonated in the Rajasthan Desert. Although the tests resulted in condemnation and economic sanctions from other world powers, Kalam was hailed as a national hero for his stanch defense of the country's security.
In 2002, India's ruling National Democratic Alliance helped Kalam win an election against Lakshmi Sahgal and become India's 11th president, a largely ceremonial post. Known as the People's President, Kalam set a goal of conducting 500,000 one-on-one meetings with young people over the course of his five-year term. His immense popularity led to him being nominated by MTV for a Youth Icon of the Year award in 2003 and 2006.
After leaving office in 2007, Kalam became a visiting professor at several universities. He formed the "What Can I Give Movement" in 2011 with the goal of creating a compassionate society, and in 2012, his efforts to improve healthcare led to the release of a tablet for medical personnel to use in remote areas.
Death and Legacy
On July 27, 2015, Kalam suffered a massive heart attack while lecturing at the Indian Institute of Management and subsequently died at the age of 83.
Kalam was laid to rest on July 30 with full state honors in his native Tamil Nadu. In honor of the scientist and former president, the southeast Indian state government of Tamil Nadu created a "Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Award," which recognizes exceptional individuals who promote the sciences, students and humanities. The government has also established Kalam's birthday (October 15) as "Youth Renaissance Day." Discussion about building a large-scale memorial at his burial site is underway.
Among his many accolades, including honorary doctorates from 40 universities, he was granted the Padma Bhushan (1981), the Padma Vibhushan (1990) and the Bharat Ratna (1997) — India's highest civilian awards — for his contributions in modernizing government defense technology. He also wrote several books, including the autobiography Wings of Fire in 1999.

Bloggling Brooks: Who Done It, Ain't Gonna Cut It.
Who Done It, Ain't Gonna Cut It.
My oldest son cracked me up at Thanksgiving this year. The cousins were all together at my parent's house. There are ten of them seven years and under so any chance to get the bunch outdoors is okay with us. It had been a full day as most thanksgivings go, lots of fun, lots of laughter, and very few fights, that alone being a holiday miracle.
Several of the oldest cousins had been contentedly playing outside for a while when it started to sprinkle. I was preoccupied with Elijah inside and had not noticed the rain coming in to ruin all the fun. My brother had called the kids in to wait out the weather.
A few minutes later I saw Isaiah and his cousin Seth heading back out the door. I called Isaiah back in and told him he could not go back out yet because it was raining. Immediately Isaiah piped up with the first line of defense.
"No it's not." And then quickly realizing that with one glance out the window, that could obviously be shot down, he took another approach. "Seth did it!"
I have to be honest; I looked for a lesson here in this anecdote. It was a cute story and surely there was something to glean. Shifting blame, perhaps, not taking responsibility? I dove into the bible to see what the word had to say about responsibility, I didn't have much to learn here. Sure it's a good lesson but I don't struggle too much with trying to blame others, in fact I tend to blame myself for most things that go wrong. My husband and I have a continuing conversation, whether the kids are acting up, he's having a bad day, his order came out wrong at a restaurant. I say, "I'm sorry." Jarrod says, "what for?" "I don't know, I just thought maybe I needed to be sorry." He teases me and informs that I don't need to be sorry for everything.
Now, I am way off subject here... sorry!
As I was reading through the normal lessons that spring to mind in the area of shifting blame, still looking for a springing board I got the ever so gentle tap on the shoulder from a very wise man. (God in case you didn't get that) He reminded me of a lesson I need a lot in my life right now and once again, one of my kids helped bring it to my attention. Sure it was funny that Isaiah was trying to blame his innocent four-year-old cousin for bringing on the rain that was showering down on their parade. What's not quite as humorous is what was behind his motives. Isaiah had decided he wanted to play outside and he was looking for any excuse he could find for why Isaiah should get to do what Isaiah wanted to do. Trying to convince me it wasn't even raining, accusing his cousin in hopes that he could still go out and have some fun, and phooey on Seth.
Why do I fail to see the humor in this? My children are such glaring image of me sometimes. I do not like the reflection much these days. I want what I want and try my best to come up with all the reasons why I think it should be given to me. With not much concern for anything else going on around me. Who cares if somebody else ends up in time out as long as I get my time outdoors? Sure I'll continue to think Isaiah's declaration of "Seth did it!" as funny. It was very cute at the time! But I'll continue to look at my often child like behavior and see if I can't make it just a little closer to that of a budding woman of God.
I'm Moving!! I can now be found at blogglingbrooks.wordpress.com I have moved all my old posts over and will begin posting there in the future. So if you would like to, follow me!

Champions League Tip 1: Wayne rooney anytime scorer for Manchester UTD v Chelsea @ 2.9 (Betfair) Rooney in rich vein of form and very streaky striker. With confidence high, expect him to be a big threat in tonight's Champions League 1/4 final. Chelsea need to push forward to over turn their deficit and Rooney can exploit the spaces left.
Champions League Tip 2: Vidic to be booked @ 17/10 (Unibet) Sticking with this bet after the success last week in the champions League. I mentioned Vidic struggles against pacey players in behind and with UTD now at home, there will be even more space for the pacey Chelsea attackers as UTD push forward.
Champions League longshot Tips - Great Prices with William Hill) If UTD are to progress to the Champions League semi finals, I fancy the 2 centre halves will have to produce great performances. Hills go 20/1 on both for Man Of The Match in this Champions League clash.
Ivanovic currently 18.5 on Betfair to score. A decent tip considering his set piece threat and the fact Chelsea must go on the all out attack, possibly leading to corners/dangerous set piece situations.

The MA Digital Education is a two-year online distance learning course designed for professionals (for example, teachers or learning technologists) wishing to further their expertise in the area or change the direction of their career.
The programme will allow you to understand theories of learning underpinning effective use of digital tools; have skills to use and evaluate technologies that are currently available and be able to look towards future developments in the field.
You will benefit from learning about the theories and practices of digital education whilst being a digital learner yourself so you can relate them to your own experience.
The dialogic online delivery of this master's programme – including regular group discussions which could connect you to professionals in other countries with new perspectives – provides opportunities to receive expertise from academic staff and also to learn from fellow professionals.
In a field where research can often overstate conclusions from short-term interventions, you will learn to approach research critically and develop skills to carry out research and evaluations in your own professional settings both during and after the programme.
The programme will provide you with in-depth knowledge, skills, perspectives and current research in digital education. You will have opportunities to apply and reflect on this new knowledge in relation to both your own learning and to your professional contexts.
The modules will ensure a strong foundation in terms of digital education and research methods training as well as considering data analytics and associated ethics which are increasingly important. In addition you will learn how to plan, develop and evaluate digital learning resources ensuring the course is practical in outlook and can be directly applied in work-based contexts.
Teaching methods will include content delivery through online audio, video and text lectures plus online readings and additional resources. In addition, there will be weekly online (synchronous) seminars for group discussion and student support plus weekly asynchronous group activities using a range of digital tools. This interactional approach will not only deepen learning but also provide a sense of community as you will be able to build relationships with fellow students.
Each module will take a different approach to assessment, enabling you to gain practical experience of presenting information using a range of digital technology tools. For example, you might be asked to present work as a poster, a multi-modal presentation, a website, an audio presentation with quizzes or a video.
For students in countries where distance learning qualifications will be recognised only if some modules include formal written examinations there will be the option, on up to two modules, of sitting a traditional examination instead of coursework assessment, please contact us for more information if required.
A 2:1 honours degree plus evidence of relevant professional experience.
Relevant professional experience could include teaching (at any level), education management, supervision or administration, software development, education publishing, education media, and roles involving the implementation, support or management of educational technologies. Other professional experience may be relevant and each case will be considered on its merits.
IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in any subject. For other English qualifications, read English language equivalent qualifications.
This programme is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to achieve professional development. Some students will be able to apply for promotion or higher level posts within existing career paths while others will be able to change career direction, for example, into CPD provision, educational software development or full time-learning technology support.
Research methods training will also be very useful to enhance your own professional practice and therefore their institutions; and could lead on to a doctorate if desired.

Concept of the ENS of Digital Studies
Individuals and New Peer Groups in the Digital Society - lecture by Prof. Dr. Dr. Ayad Al-Ani (HG109, 14:00 s.t.) >>
27/03/2019
European University Viadrina signs cooperation agreement with Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS >>
At the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS), a new transdisciplinary and international field of research and teaching shall be established through scientific interaction with the digital European society, which will contribute to a significant expansion of the profile of the European University Viadrina (EUV) and the Collegium Polonicum (CP) as a progressive and innovative scientific location.
With the ENS, the founding mission of Viadrina as a European University will be continued and the German-Polish scientific cooperation with Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) will also be institutionally raised to a new level. Together, the two universities are addressing a European issue of the future, namely the challenges and opportunities of the European digital society.
In a first step, the ENS will be founded as an EUV institution according to Brandenburg university law. At the same time, the AMU will follow an equivalent path according to Polish higher education law. The perspective is to establish the ENS as a joint cross-border institution of the EUV and AMU at the CP.
Transdisciplinary research and teaching on the European digital society
At the ENS, economists, lawyers, social scientists, humanities scholars, as well as technical experts in artificial intelligence and computational linguistics will teach and conduct research with the aim of finding answers to the challenges of the digital society.
The central research fields of the ENS will comprise the following areas:
The interdisciplinary core college will comprise four W2/W3 professorships with the denominations "Innovation and Digital Entrepreneurship", "Law of the Digital Society", "Digital Democracy and Governance" and "Science, Technology and Society" as well as two W1 professorships with the denominations "Digital Ethics" and "Digital Humanities". The AMU contributes to research and teaching in "Big Data and Artifical Intelligence" and 2 "Computational Linguistics". External fellows and guest lecturers with civil society, business and technological expertise are involved in research and teaching on a project-by-project basis.
In the winter semester 2020/21, teaching and study operations are to start with the international Master of Digital Entrepreneurship (MADE), which combines social science and humanities, economics, law and technical study content in a student-centred and project-based curriculum. In the medium term, the range of courses is to be expanded to include a Bachelor's and a research-oriented Master's program as well as a further education component.
All courses are transdisciplinary; they combine scientific reflections with practical skills and qualify graduates to help shaping social and economic change in the European digital society. Students are understood as partners in the research and teaching process and they are given the opportunity to realise their student projects at the ENS and with local, regional and international cooperation partners (companies, NGOs, etc.).
Digital teaching, learning and test formats are a central component of the studies at the ENS. They will be developed, tested and evaluated right there and thereby they are themselves the subject of scientific reflection on digitisation.
Networked in science and society - science in and for society
The ENS is integrated into the regional and European scientific landscape: in addition to the joint study offers with AMU and the intensified cooperation with Panthéon-Sorbonne, it cooperates with the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, the Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics and the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS), among others, and intends to establish further cooperative relationships in Brandenburg and Berlin.
The cooperation with the Co-Working Space of the Viadrina, the transfer office, the planned start-up workshop, the media law clinic, the Legal Tech Center as well as the Center for Internet and Human Rights will promote knowledge and practice transfer as well as networking with regional and supraregional practice and cooperation partners and set growth impulses for the region.

PAX—Patios de la Axerquía
Urban Regeneration and Social Innovation in a Heritage Context
Gaia Redaelli
Research Team 'Contemporary City, Architecture and Heritage'. University of Seville, Spain
Email: gaiared@hotmail.com
ABSTRACT Following a decades-long real estate bubble involving a culture of indiscriminate ownership and occupation of land, PAX—Patios de la Axerquía is proposing an innovative system of governance in the city of Córdoba in Spain that fosters a new urban model consistent with the aims of the New Urban Agenda and a Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive City: from a culture of speculation to one of rehabilitation.
A system of multilevel co-management between the public administration and the social economy provides the basis for the acquisition and cooperative use of empty houses as a model of urban regeneration through social innovation in a heritage context. The rehabilitation of the patio-houses in Axerquía, which have been threatened by gentrification, aims to restore the environmental values of the Mediterranean city and upgrade its historical characteristics in a contemporary way together with the citizenship: from its architectural value as a World Heritage site to its anthropological value as Intangible Heritage of Humanity, as recognised by UNESCO in 2012.
The interaction between innovative mechanisms of sustainable urban development opens up a pathway of virtuous policies for the densification of the existing city by the local population, generation of micro-employment, and support for collective projects that incorporate refugees and migrants in a system of solidarity.
Updating the urban, environmental, social, and economic values of the traditional city is a step toward understanding the Mediterranean city as an undeniable reminder of our past and, at the same time, providing an essential tool for the future development of a smart, sustainable, and inclusive Europe.

What's new about iOS 9?
iOS 9 Course is the way to success for web developers as well as app experts. Its interface has changed for the better. It uses the new system font of Apple call San Francisco. It also has a fresh interface and waveform for Siri. Multitasking screen has been eliminated; instead compressed card like interface are there.
Moreover, the keyboard changes from upper case to lower while changing shift and the Notes App has been redesigned.
Siri has become smarter and now has an underlying search engine within iOS 9. Siri is a voice activated assistant which has generated much talk. Users can now search for numerous fresh items such as data and face linked photos, contextual awareness and car as well as music and home kit linked reminders. Siri's powers are not confined to speech alone.
All search functions within iOS 9 behind the scenes open vistas for new actions such as assessing which music you like, checking phone numbers and provision of estimated driving directions to usual places.
App and contact suggestions are also available on Siri. This on device proactive functionality ensures personal information is not stored on server side.
Apps and services can register for deep as well as universal links. Universal links enable iOS 9 to make usual web uniform resource locators into direct links within the application.
So, if you are searching Facebook and click on the link to a post, you will see that post directly within the Facebook application. Deep links function within the iOS and let users tap Search screen to actively search within favored apps. Back links provide exits seamlessly and smoothly all over iOS 9.
Spotlight is not a shining star anymore; it has been reclassified as Search and it can be used with natural language in a manner akin to Siri.
The new Search screen is populated with Siri suggestions and you may even get listings from online classified and if you are in countries where the News Application is supported, you may even be able to catch the headlines.
Passbook has been renamed Wallet and contains different kinds of cards such as credit, store credit and loyalty. Passbook passes are also available through Wallet. Apple Pay has also been updated for some countries.

Images can be embedded by tapping on camera icons. If anything more complex has to be added, it is done from the Apple Share Screen. Notes syncs between iOS devices.
Maps now has real transit directions in that you can access everything from bus and ferry routes to train schedules.
You can not only see individual schedules, but also plan specific trips. Apple even goes as far as showing the location of the stop entrance.
Indoor mapping data in iOS 9 ensures that you can take a closer peak at shopping malls and stadiums. Maps also offer new search screen for food and drinks establishments sourced by directories like Yelp.
iOS 9 has Apple's News application which provides news as well as information in iPad and iPhone. If you are looking for a clean way to get RSS feeds, News app should satiate your appetite for this.
You can also understand what the app prefers for example bookmarking publications to topics under tagged under favorite. Apple's iAD services also does not serve ads which cannot be blocked, so expect not to be bombarded with sales calls.
QuickType keyboard also offers customizable shortcuts on every side of predictive text entries changing in association with the app. Photo insertion point, undo, bold, italics and a whole lot more make word creation using Apple's iOS 9 a pleasure.
For iPad Bluetooth keyboard, there is a double jackpot. Firstly, the Command Tab button now functions on the iPad much the same way it does on the Mac, allowing users to switch between apps.
Moreover, holding foe the modifier key will lead to display of shortcuts available within a specific app.
When a phone is functional and past the locked stage, iOS 9 turns on an app switching interface. This means users can toggle between exit apps, apps or more.
Apple has reworked the App Switcher whereby apps now appear as card stack users can scroll from left to right. Each card in the stack is associated with app icon and name above it. App Switcher also contains Handoff options.
iOS training will benefit you if saving power is your aim. With Apple iOS 9 Course, expect more power to come to you with every extra hour of battery life following updates from tweaks.
When the iPhone is placed within the pocket, the screen stops glowing when notifications arrive to save battery life. A new battery section also provides a detailed look whereby apps taking up your power are identified. Feature also disables or reduces the background app besides auto downloads, refreshing and mail fetching.
Panoramas and Bursts have been automatically aligned into smart folders since iOS 8. iOS 9 continues with this tradition and has provided a separate folder for screenshots and selfies.

This simple yet interesting feature allows you to pop video playbacks in small windows that can be dragged around and pinched to adjust to size or tap to close. The 4th feature which can be used is the trackpad whereby you swipe the fingers to move your cursor.
Advantages of iOS 9 Course: Who should learn this OS?
iOS 9 is good news for the app developers and web administrators. Users can also benefit from a good grounding in iOS 9. As to why this is so, let's explore the reasons making this OS super functional.
Direct Link to Access Previous App: A useful feature of iOS 9 is to return to the previous app through a direct link. While using the app, one can move back to previous applications through a link located in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
Advanced iCloud Access: Accessing the iCloud Drive has now become so simple through the advanced and improved new iCloud Drive which ensures that files stored on cloud can be easily accessed. Additionally, users can save attachments to iCloud Drive and send more than 5 photos from the Photo app.
Other Great Features: An updated Siri, multitasking and better voice control will ensure that iOS 9 serves as a brilliant replacement for earlier operating systems. There is improvement in health applications while updated browser Safari, and other mechanisms like Handoff and Continuity contribute to the ease of operation. Improved Notes App make to do lists totally simple to undergo check listing and there is easy access to Apple Pay from the lock screen as well. Moreover, Apple's Music application is an advanced Podcast app and you can also toggle flash while video recording.
IOS 9 Can Speak in Many Tongues: New language keyboards are there for regional languages such as Gujarati, Punjabi and Telugu. A unique feature for bilingual users is the Hinglish keyboard which is a combination of Hindi and English.
IOS 9 is safe and secure: Passcodes provide greater security for iOS 9 users. Software has a rust proof glitch software that is user friendly. Security code that uses a 4 digit system earlier has been updated to 6 digits on the update which is beneficial in protecting the personal data of users on the phone.
Plenty of apps can be downloaded from iTunes. There are lesser App crashes and hard restarts as against iOS 8. Siri Search has become more accurate and faster by 40% as home button leads to smarter answers when questioned.
Apple Maps also provide nearby shortcut options, a faster way of locating places and destinations. IOS 9 Course also ensures that a new app is there through which Android users can make the transition to iOS 9 without resulting data loss.
Fresh search box has been introduced through a software update and Live Photos make video and sound recording possible before and after saving pictures. The lower power mode translates into battery savings of 10 to 20%.
Creating backups prior to update is simple and downloading as well as updating this Operating System is easy as can be. You can also update the device wirelessly and tap Install Now for this.
If you need more space for updating wireless, updates can be made using iTunes or deleting content from the device through manual means.
IOS 9 is the new OS software for iPad, iPhone and iPods launched in June 2015. It became available on 16th September of the same year.
iOS is an OS software running on different Apple devices and the underlying framework is responsible for organizing, launching and running other applications and can perform numerous features of its own as well.
Whether one has iPhone 4s, iPad 2 or fifth generation iPod touch, device is rated as iOS 9 compatible and can be updated for free without costing a single cent.
If your iPhone is 4D or later and iPad is 2 or later and iPad mini/later or iPod touch is fifth generation, there is no cause for concern. All new iPhones and the upcoming iPad Pro come with preinstalled iOS 9.
Upgrading to iOS is a one- directional journey and going back to the previous version is not always an option. So, once you commence with the upgrade, there is no going back. The question is, why would you ever want to? If you are stuck with the new OS following the update, be sure that the new features will make it worth your while.
Proactive Siri activated PA rather than Google Now's passivity is a welcome change for those acquiring iOS 9 Course. This type of iOS 9 Course also ensures that users can access public transport directions in improved Maps app and fresh and improved multitasking as well as a new News app and rejigged Notes app. Designers have walked the extra mile to make iOS 9 ergonomic, making iOS 9 Course simple and the road oft taken. Keyboard has been enhanced and redesigned while visuals have been made more viewer friendly.
Practical concerns such as battery life enhancements are also addressed. There is a new low power mode for extending the battery still further and future proofing devices. App developers make their stuff work, but there are always limits as well. Bug cures and new apps compatibility make iOS 9 more than a quick fix. Important steps to update to iOS 9 are as follows.
You can use iCloud/iTunes to back up the iPhone, iPad or iPod and messages as well as photos will remain stable and be retained. To re-sync data you have synced from the computer, you need to back up your computer and iCloud drive.
A compatible copy of iOS 8 should be saved in case there are difficulties with iOS 9. Apple indicated which iOS is compatible with the device you own.
If there is limited space on the phone, the update will not be able to carry through. IPhones require around 4-5 GB of space to be able to perform the iOS 9 update.
People have updated iPhones to iOS 6 earlier to discover that iTunes was not in sync. You need to update to a version of iTunes which is compatible with your Mac OS.
You also need to plug in the device to the power source, so that if you run out of battery during the middle of the download, the iPhone or iPad escapes corruption. Downloading one Wi-Fi is better because then you will not use up your data.
Go to Settings and force iPhone or iPad to check for updates using software update, iPhone or iPad will commence with the download of the update and once this is done, you need to install the OS.
iOS 9 Course has many benefits in terms of time and cost savings. For instance, consider the new tweaks in the iOS 9 Safari. This browser's view controller offers third party apps better and quicker ways to present web pages within a certain program.
iOS 9 is faster and smarter. Apart from being quicker, it is easy on the battery because underlying tweaks to Metal and battery optimization means you can do so much more with less battery.
Whether it is listing checklists or making notes worth noting, iOS 9 Course has the power to unlock immense potential for users as well as web and app developers.
Professionals from around the world have benefited from eduCBA's Comprehensive IOS 9 Training courses. Some of the top places that our learners come from include New York, Dubai, San Francisco, Bay Area, New Jersey, Houston, Seattle, Toronto, London, Berlin, UAE, Chicago, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, India, Bangalore, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Gurgaon among many.
2. Whats new in iOS9 ?


A while ago I wrote about the regular vhost.conf file and getting Plesk to recognize this file once created. Read more about that here. Recently I ran into a similar issue with vhost_ssl.conf. This file tells Plesk where to look instead of httpsdocs folder. In Plesk 11, the httpsdocs folder is no longer used and all files secure or not are stored in httpdocs. This really makes more sense and is what most users would do anyway by creating a symbolic link between the two.
What if you are using a subdirectory? The problem here is that Plesk will look in the root httpdocs folder for https:// and branch out from there. But for http:// Plesk will look where vhost.conf points to. The solution is a vhost_ssl.conf file to forward requests to the correct (or different) folder.
This doesn't seem at all necessary, unless you're using WordPress or another CMS and want to keep it in it's own folder. Your config file should use the same structure as normal even though it's for SSL.
This is the part I always forget. Initialize for one specific domain.

This week I had a meeting in Gettysburg, PA. Unfortunately, no time to visit the battlefield, but I did spend a day there last year. The weather was great, the trees are turning color - we don't see that much fall color here in Houston. So, we drive back to Baltimore for a 3:30 or so flight from BWI to Houston. Due to the severe storms in Houston, we have about an hour and a half ground hold. Then we have to do time in a holding pattern on the way. Finally land in Houston about 7. I had ridden to the airport with a colleague, D, and we had parked at one of the surface lots. The lift pumps that pump all the heavy rain water away had gone out, so everything around the airport was flooded. We took a bumper to bumper round about way to the parking lot. The 7-10 minute ride took almost two hours. We were moving so slowly that one of the other passengers considered calling Domino's and ordering a pizza to be delivered to the shuttle bus. Finally, we pull up behind D's truck. It's not raining quite as hard now. But, we have one other thing to do before we pick up our luggage and get off the bus. We sit back down, take off our shoes and socks, roll up our pants legs, and then wade through 6 - 8 inches of water to the truck. Almost drove off with my shoes on the roof. It's all a good time.

Visit by the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Ms. Vassiliki Anastassiadou, and Signing of MoU with the Department of Antiquities	Featured
On Friday June 21, 2019, the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Ms. Vassiliki Anastassiadou, and the Director of the Department of Antiquities, Dr. Marina Solomidou-Ieronymidou, visited CyI on the occasion of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between CyI and the Department of Antiquities.

"I am really impressed with The Cyprus Institute and its achievements," noted the Minister in her address. "I have known the Institute for some time, and of course I was aware that is very successful, but following today's briefing and visit I am certain that The Cyprus Institute is an asset to the Cypriot society contributing substantially to a knowledge society and also to our economy, and has great potential for further growth and contributions in the future".
"At the Ministry we have been closely collaborating with the Institute for quite a while on issues of Cypriot Antiquities and the use of drones in Civil Aviation, and we remain ready to expand our collaboration in other domains as well', she said.
The Director of the Department of Antiquities, Dr. Marina Solomidou-Ieronymidou, noted the long and fruitful collaboration between her Department and CyI, and hoped that the signing of the MoU, which updates a previous agreement from 2012, will further strengthen and expand the cooperation between the two organizations.

Bernard Ribeiro
Lord Bernard Ribeiro CBE
Honorary Award
Honorary Doctor of Science, 2008
After qualifying at Middlesex Hospital Medical School in 1967, Bernard Ribeiro embarked on his career in surgery. Just five years later he was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In 1979 he was appointed to Basildon Hospital as a consultant general surgeon with a special interest in urology and colorectal surgery. He pioneered the use of minimally invasive 'keyhole' surgery and helped to establish the Basildon & Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's advanced laparoscopic unit.
An examiner in surgery for three university medical schools, his interest in undergraduate education contributed to the Trust achieving university status in 2002. Bernard also contributed to the Trust's successful bid for The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre at Basildon. The £60 million Centre opened in 2007 and includes specialist high-tech, operating theatres in which heart valve replacements and major lung surgery are carried out.
From 2005 to 2008, Bernard was the President of the Royal College of Surgeons and in April 2008 he officially retired from his post as Consultant General Surgeon at Basildon University Hospital. His contribution to medicine, as an 'outstanding' surgeon and voice of the profession, has been felt nationally and internationally. In 2004 he was awarded the CBE for his 'immeasurable' services to medicine, during a career that has spanned over 40 years. In December 2008, Bernard was appointed Knight Bachelor in the Queen's New Year's Honours List, for his services to medicine. In 2008 Bernard Ribeiro was awarded the Honorary degree of Doctor of Science.
Most recently, in December 2010 Bernard Ribeiro was appointed The Lord Ribeiro of Achimota in the Republic of Ghana and of Ovington in the County of Hampshire and in 2012 he was appointed Chairman of the Independent Reconfiguration Panel.
"It is my pleasure to read the citation for Bernard Ribeiro CBE for the award of Honorary Doctor of Science. Bernard Ribeiro CBE or 'Bernie' as he is known to friends and colleagues has recently celebrated his 'retirement' from a career that has spanned over 40 years in healthcare. His contribution to medicine, as an 'outstanding' surgeon and voice of the profession during the worst ever crisis to hit junior doctor training, has been felt, not only, locally, here in Essex - but nationally and internationally.
He 'officially' retired from his post as Consultant General Surgeon at Basildon University Hospital, a part of Basildon & Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, in March 2008. The Trust, at the time, described him as, 'one of their most distinguished and long-serving clinicians'. In addition to his timely retirement from hospital life - during the year the NHS is celebrating 60 years of service - he has also completed three highly proactive years as President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a post he was appointed to in 2005. During this time, he has spoken out on some extremely controversial and sensitive subjects including, the shortage of cancer surgeons, the idea that surgery should be available 'locally', and, the very recent news, that hospital surgical death rates will be made public to monitor quality and give patients more freedom of choice.
After qualifying at Middlesex Hospital Medical School in 1967, Bernard embarked on his challenging but richly-rewarding career in surgery. Just five years later, but with many hours in theatre behind him, he was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. It was in 1979 that he was appointed to Basildon Hospital as a consultant general surgeon with a special interest in urology and colorectal surgery. He pioneered the use of invasive 'keyhole' surgery and helped to establish the Trust's advanced laparoscopic unit. An examiner in surgery for three university medical schools, his interest in undergraduate education contributed to the Trust achieving university status in 2002. He also contributed to the Trust's successful bid for The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre to be built at Basildon. The £60 million Centre, which opened last year, includes specialist high-tech, operating theatres where operations such as heart valve replacements and major lung surgery are carried out.
Friends and family, including his wife Elisabeth and their four children, were delighted when he was awarded the CBE for his 'immeasurable' services to medicine, in 2004. After retirement from his sometimes 'gruelling' career it would seem that Bernard should settle down and enjoy the quiet life, participating more in the sport of river fishing for which he is known, but thankfully he plans to continue to contribute to both medicine and society. Through his association with the Worshipful Company of Barbers in the City of London, he is working on a project that aims to encourage young people from deprived areas of the capital into medical careers. This is the man, who has excelled in using technology, and his remarkable skills as one of the country's leading surgeons, to save lives, and improve the quality of people's lives. And for this work he has won the admiration of both academics and students at Anglia Ruskin University. We applaud his great work, and his mission to modernise the route of others to a similarly long and enjoyable career in medicine.
Bernard Ribeiro CBE, I hereby invite the Vice Chancellor to confer upon you the award of Honorary Doctor of Science."
