Tokyo, September 12th, 2013 --- Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501) today announced it is holding the first European training course aimed at assisting with human resource development for the nuclear industry in the Republic of Lithuania in mid-October this year. The course is being run jointly with the Tokyo Institute of Technology and includes instructors from both organizations being posted to Lithuania. Although being held at Kaunas University of Technology, one of Lithuania's leading universities, the training is not restricted only to students of that institution. Rather, the approximately 50 participants will also include students in the entire Baltic States specializing in nuclear power, and researchers from other institutions involved in the nuclear industry.
The background to the introduction of this course includes the fact that Lithuania operated RBMK (Reaktor Bolshoy Moshchnosti Kanalniy or high-power channel-type reactor) graphite-moderated reactors until 2009. However, there has been an ongoing decline in the number of people qualified to work in the nuclear industry since the operations of those power plants ceased. Furthermore, the advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR) design selected by Lithuanian government uses different systems to the RBMK reactors.
Accordingly, in order to ensure greater safety and higher reliability in Lithuania, there is an issue regarding how to pass on the knowledge and technology of Japan, the only nation in the world with experiences in the construction and operation of ABWRs, and develop the people to be with highly specialized education and training. This has created an urgent need for human resource development over a wide range of technologies, including at universities and other centers of higher education.
Hitachi and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have experiences in the running of human resource development programs for countries in Southeast Asia that are adopting nuclear energy for the first time. To help resolve this educational challenge faced by Lithuania, the two organizations have now decided to contribute to that country's human resource development by running this course at the Kaunas University of Technology.
On a separate note from the joint course with Tokyo Institute of Technology, Hitachi also intends to support collaboration with relevant institutions in Lithuania and otherwise work actively toward nuclear industry human resource development in the country. Japan Electric Power Information Center was contracted by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for "FY2013 International Training Program for Safety Management at Nuclear Power Plants", which will commence for Lithuania this December.

Collecting payment from customers immediately after the job is completed eliminates a lot of headaches for service businesses.
That's why an article on The Service Coach's blog recommends all trucks be equipped to process payments on the spot.
With mobile Internet connections, this should be a snap. Giving your technicians access to work order software that runs over the Internet will allow you to price your services and parts immediately.
This also will print the invoice number and details directly in front of your customer. Credit card terminals are readily available so you can mark the invoice paid. If your software is integrated with your financials, the invoice can easily be matched with the payment for tracking.
Cash flow is king. Having customers pay right away means you don't have to wait to account for that revenue. That eliminates the hours you spend every week reconciling your accounts receivable, The Service Coach article explains.
If you wait, you run the risk of never getting paid for that service, or having to hire a collection agency for late payments. And without cash, you can't run and grow your business.
Make your life easier. Collect the payment on-site and you'll never have to worry about when you'll see that money.

Help, not what i ordered, what do i do?
Points: 987 Topic: Help, not what i ordered, what do i do?
I recently ordered a full lace Chinese "virgin" wig in the color 613. It was supposed to be 18 inches and 110% in density with a medium brown lace color.
Well, what I got was marked at 16inches with a light brown lace and the density looks to be between 90-100% it is very thin. I order stock wigs all the time and I have never had a wig this thin that was supposedly 110%.
Problem is I actually like the wig as is. The length is perfect and texture is great. I can deal with the density by adding a few tracks and the lace can be darkened. Id rather work with the wig then go through the hassle of sending it back because like I said I actually like the wig.
The issue is, its not what I asked for and paid for. The lace color is wrong,(its not even close to what's pictured on their site), its 2 inches off, and the density isn't right.
Would I be wrong to ask the vender for a partial refund or some of my money back because I want to keep it? I mean first off a 16inch is listed $10 cheaper then what I paid, so I am at least entitled to the $10 right?
Thanks. The box and labels it came with clearly has it marked as a 16 inch and not 18 and I double checked and measured and sure enough it's a 16 inch. I will give it a shot and email them tonight. Not going to hurt to try.
If you'd rather not deal with the hassle of sending it back to China, you can try selling it on eBay.
Either way, I would let the vendor know that the wig is not what you ordered (take pics).
This happened to me with Holly. Beautiful wig but it was so thin in the top and crown it looked like it was beginning to bald. I took pictures of it to show her and she told me to send it back at my expense. Told her it would cost me too much and requested that she send me hair and a ventilation needle and I would fix it myself. She did and I worked it out. Luckily I have been practicing and am not perfect but am getting better with everyone i work on..
I think you should give it a try. They are liable to return the money you paid in excess as they had sent the wrong item.

Karon Council (L) and Yovanni Banos-Merino (Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office). Right: Yovanni Banos-Merino (Vanessa Martinez via GoFundMe)
The two Neptune man charged with killing a 10-year old Asbury Park boy and injuring his mother in February of 2018 have both been sentenced to lengthy terms in prison, announced Monmouth County Proseuctor Chris Gramiccioni.
Karon Council, 19 of Neptune Township was sentenced to 25 years in prison while co-defendant Jah-Del K. Birch was sentenced to 10-years in prison for their roles in the shooting death of Yovanni Banos-Merino, an unintended target of the bullets fired at a home in the 400 block of Ridge Avenue in Asbury Park around 10:41 pm on Wednesday February 21, 2018.
Asbury Park police responded to a 911 call that night and arrived to find the 10-year-old child and his 38-year-old mother were suffering from gunshot wounds.
The child's mother was treated and released for her injuries, however the child was pronounced dead at 11:18 p.m.
A joint investigation was then conducted by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and Asbury Park Police Department, with assistance from Monmouth County Sheriff's Office and Neptune Township Police Department who determined that Council and Birch arrived at the home to target another occupant also present within the home but who was not injured during the incident.
The child was not the intended target of the shooting and the investigation also revealed that Council was the person who fired the gun.
On Friday morning, January 11, 2019, the Honorable Judge Richard W. English, J.S.C. sentenced Karon Council who is subject to the No Early Release Act (NERA) requiring him to serve 85% of his sentence before being eligible for parole and a mandatory period of parole supervision of five years after his release from state prison.
Council and Birch, both of Neptune Township, plead guilty to their roles in the shooting death of Yovanni Banos-Merino on October 22, 2018 and both plead guilty to first degree Aggravated Manslaughter and second degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose.
Both plea agreements were made in consultation with the boy's mother, who was also injured in the shooting incident.
In a separate proceeding, held today, Birch, 17, was also sentenced by Judge English.
Birch's sentence is subject to the No Early Release Act (NERA) requiring him to serve 85% of his sentence before being eligible for parole and a mandatory period of supervision after release.
The case was handled by Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutors Matthew Bogner and Joseph Cummings.
Council is represented by Paul Zager, Esq., of Red Bank.
Birch is represented by Jeffrey Coghlan, Esq., of Freehold.

Think Outside the Box: Josh & Angela
Oct. 23, 2012 / By Joshua Jimenez and Angela Or
Every tax dollar funneled into jails and prisons takes funding away from other services and needs, including K-12 and higher education. California currently allots $10.7 billion to its criminal justice budgets.
In the last two weeks, VoiceWaves asked its new youth reporters how they would change the system by entering the Think Outside The Box Contest.
Think Outside the Box is a project of the ACLU of California whose objective is to engage voters, youth and young adults around the California budgeting process.
The youth were asked to answer questions like, "What do you care about?"; "What would you do with the money saved if you were Governor of California?"; and "What kind of difference could you make?"
Every few days, VoiceWaves will be releasing two youth entries. Below are the entries of Joshua Jimenez, 18 and Angela Or, 17.
By Joshua Jimenez
Verse 1 (Intellect):
Now let me tell y'all,
The population, the working class amongst the victims
The injustices committed by the state, picture so vivid
So never will I bow down to a failed system
While we always wonder why our tax money's missin
I care about rebuildin' the hood, makin' it good
For the governor, I make sure the struggle is understood
Guilty of the color of my skin, that's imprisonment
No justice, no peace, for the poor and innocence
We're spendin' our figures, makin' their pockets thicker
The state of denial, California prisons getting bigger
While oppression exists, we just maintainin' the status quo
Marchin' to the capital makin' a change that is radical
See the solution, ain't incarceration
Yet the FEDS steadily waitin' for the infiltration
With every chance they get, they want to lock us up
More state prison bunk beds, they want the profit up
Black and brown youth in the system overcrowded
Sacramento politicians ain't gon' do nothing about it
So they roll with the punches, Jerry brown is just a puppet
$7.3 billion dollars in prison funding
Instead of spendin' billions on sentencing the innocent
We need to fund schools, with education that is relevant
That's why its up to us, change from the bottom up
Break it down chop it up so my people know what's up
The California justice system is failing on us. The War on Drugs? It's an attack on the working class people. More prisons means more poverty and more injustice.
We got to educate organize mobilize our communities to fight against these unjust laws that are made to oppress the working class. Folks just like you and me. I'm just statin' the truth from the facts.
By Angela Or
California spends an unnecessary amount of money on incarceration. That money could be used for other things that are important, such as education. As the state budget decreases due to how much money California wastes on housing inmates, the K-12 budget also decreases. In California, the student to counselor ratio is 810 students per counselor. The textbooks at school aren't up to date. Classrooms barely have supplies provided for students to work with. The restroom facilities aren't clean enough or stocked daily. Even prisons provide their prisoners' bathrooms with toilet paper.
[pullquote]It isn't fair that a student should be turned away from school because they can't afford it. Education is of great importance to me. Students who work hard should be allowed to go to school. A person goes to college to develop a career, which results in them making money in the future. Their livelihood is dependent on a good education.[/pullquote]The system discriminates against the poor and people of color. California is known for its diversity. Many families in California have emigrated here from different countries, so the system instead should benefit people of color. If California gave the children from those families financial assistance in education to develop a career through college, it could help provide income for those families so they wouldn't have to rely on welfare and housing. That could result in saving taxpayers' dollars as well.
The share of the state budget going to Corrections has grown from 4 percent to 10 percent in 25 years. That's huge. If we could reduce that, we would save money and be able to use the money saved on issues in our community. If I were the governor of California, I would invest most of it on providing financial aid to students and providing more teachers and classrooms to students. Kids are the future and if they aren't given the tools to succeed now, we as a society won't progress far in the future.
If we could provide a better education to people, we could increase peoples' skills and increase jobs. It would help provide income for poor families. If I were governor, I would make sure we were contributing to the futures of the youth in California. By keeping kids in school, we keep them out of trouble and in the long run, it will also result in less people incarcerated. Then California really wouldn't need to waste unnecessary money on incarceration.

African continent is large and distances are vast, but not too long ago going from one city to another often meant a connection in Europe. Thankfully this is changing and many budget airlines are beginning to serve African continent. Middle class can now travel and move around, which was not very easy for them just very recently.
1988 was the year when African nations signed "open skies" agreement, similar to European one, enabling success like EasyJet had.
Some countries still have to implement the agreement, but as more and more people are traveling, airlines are convincing governments that potential benefits outweigh the risks. 1 billion people in African continent enjoy only 3% of world's aviation business, they are stunningly underserved. The continent is desperate for improvement and added connections. Not every low budget airline was successful, many failed trying, but it's hard to stop advancement once it starts. New operators are willing to risk and are coming onto the scene.
1time has high hopes to reinvent itself.
Arik Air is working on low budget carrier services.
Kulula started in 2001 and became the first low cost airline in Africa. They are successful, but not afraid to joke. Flight attendants are funny during safety demonstrations and can quiz you at the end. One thing the airline is serious about is business though. It's operated by Comair of South Africa, a partner of British Air. They also have deals with Air France and Kenya Airways, spreading to five countries. Cities Kulula serves: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, Harare, Mauritius, Victoria Falls, and Nairobi.
Fastjet has been very ambitious since its beginning in 2011. It started with domestic flights in Tanzania and expanded to four other countries since then. Big goals need big backing, and Fastjet has both. Ed Winter is the boss who came from EasyJet and has a stake in African venture. Their next goal is to penetrate South African domestic market while constantly seeking new routes. Cities Fastjet serves: Johannesburg, Entebbe, Harare, Kilimanjaro, Lusaka, Mbeya, and Mwanza.
After Air Zimbabwe has suffered significant losses, flyafrica.com stepped in. Its hub is in Johannesburg and it has some spectacular specials. Think 99-rand ($9) trip to Victoria Falls. Zimbabweans who live in South Africa enjoy inexpensive flights to Harare, which can normally be very pricey. The price does not include bags, but it's still the best option. Cities Flyafrica.com serves: Johannesburg, Harare, Victoria Falls, and Windhoek.
Just like unusual name, the colorful orange planes are drawing attention. Their routes cover mainly South Africa and Zanzibar. The company is famous for flash sales, great deals for mailing list customers, and travelers who are ready to book right away. Mango Serves: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, George, and Zanzibar.
FlySafair is a brand new airline and aggressively claiming its territory. They fly mainly in South Africa and compete with Mango and Kulula. The airline slashed their ticket prices as fuel cost dropped down to attract new customers. The price does not include checked bags, but that doesn't create mane problems for flyers. FlySafair serves: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and George.
Fly540 knows very well all the opportunities and all the obstacles of creating new routes to new cities in Africa. The airline was very successful in Kenya, which they covered pretty well, from desert places like Lodwar to many big cities. Despite some success, Fly540 had to cancel its operations in Ghana and Angola in 2014. Their main focus remains Kenya and surrounding countries. Fle540 serves: Nairobi, Eldoret, Mombasa, Kisumu, Lamu, Lodwar, Malindi, and Zanzibar.
The airlines was started 2014 by Kenya Airways and only serves four cities. Fortunately, aviation authorities have recently allowed it to operate flights across the continent from Nairobi and Mombasa. JamboJet serves: Nairobi, Eldoret, Mombasa, and Kisumu.
2012 crash that killed 153 people in Lagos threatened to completely destroy this airline. And it almost did. The airline finally resumed its operation last year and claim that all safety concerns were addressed. It flies domestic routes and is still waiting to be cleared by international aviation authority IATA. Dana Air serves: Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Uyo.
The airline is obviously not based in Africa, but it connects 12 cities in the continent, so fits on our list. All flights have a layover in Dubai. Flydubai is adding new cities constantly, just this year the planes will fly to Hargeisa and Somaliland. Most of the cities served are not covered by any other airline. Flydubai serves: Addis Ababa, Alexandria, Bujumbura, Djibouti, Entebbe, Juba, Kigali, Kilimanjaro, Port Sudan, and Zanzibar.
The maiden flight of this airline took place just this March. The only flight they are offering now is between Johannesburg and Cape Town. The big bosses are from 1time and are looking for a new start. Unlike many colleagues, Skywise doesn't charge any fee for checked luggage. Cities served: Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The overwhelming support I have received has been tremendous, and I hope to continue to please and surprise my readers, with favourites as well as with inspiring new experiments in the culinary world.
I wish you all a bright and prosperous year ahead!
Hate the fact that its a Monday, yet again? Instead of cribbing our way through 1/7th of our lives, here are 10 amazing and easy ways to take back your Mondays, and give yourself a bit of love!
1. Since breakfast is the most important meal of your day – start the first meal of the week with a wholesome and healthy breakfast. My favourite involves dousing a few tablespoons of strawberry compote and dried fruit and nuts over low fat yoghurt. Yumm!
2. Enrol yourself in something adventurous, that you've always been meaning to get around to, but just haven't been able to! Let go of all the nitty-gritties and just do it!
3. De-clutter for a cause! Don't forget, one person's trash is another man's treasure. Get rid of that dress thats been on the hanger for well over a year, that piece of jewellery that was a mistake, or that pile of CD thats been collecting dust while occupying prime bedroom real estate. Not only will your home look cleaner – its for a really good cause!
1. In case you're still braving the summer with that cup of hot coffee, heres more reasons to trade it in for a tall iced coffee.
2. Cold Brewed Coffee? Yes please!

Bulgaria has served as a transit country into the European Union (EU). While it received an important number of arrivals during the refugee "crisis," the number of irregular non-citizens apprehended in the country has decreased dramatically, including a 90 percent drop between 2015 and 2017. Despite this decrease, immigration detention has remained a key tool in Bulgaria's response to migration and asylum flows, in addition to other measures such as the construction of a border fence.

International Women's Day: Focusing Attention on the Abuses Women Suffer in Immigration Detention

Last week, reports emerged concerning a 24-year-old Honduran woman's premature labour and subsequent delivery of a stillborn baby while in custody at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre in Texas. While officials were quick to offer the awkward qualification that "for investigative and reporting purposes, a stillbirth is not considered an in-custody death," the incident nevertheless added fuel to the growing criticism of the Trump administration's treatment of vulnerable individuals in detention.

Clear women's bill for girls' sake, Union minister Najma Heptulla says
This story is from November 20, 2014
TNN | Updated: Nov 20, 2014, 6:57 IST
NEW DELHI: Ahead of the winter session of Parliament, Union minister Najma Heptulla said she would like the women's reservation bill to be passed in Lok Sabha as it was necessary to provide a "level-playing field" for women. Heptulla's comments came while launching a report on the status of girls in India, which painted a grim picture of their condition as they continue to face widespread discrimination compared to boys.
Set in the backdrop of the last two decades, the Wings 2014 report by NGO Save the Children looks at how girls have fared on access to healthcare, nutrition, water and sanitation facilities, education and safe spaces and protection from abuse. The findings show that for the girl child, the struggle for survival begins in the womb itself. Even after she is (allowed to be) born, widespread neglect makes her survival precarious. Together, these two factors ensure that we bear the tragic burden of being a nation of disappearing daughters. The census of 2011 shows that overall there are 38 million missing women. The boy-girl divide over the last few decades has widened to such an extent that today, in the age group of 0-6 years, there are 7.1 million fewer girls than boys as against 4.2 million in 1991. The dropout rates at various levels of schooling can be dramatic and telling. For instance, in 2011, the dropout rate at Class 5 for girls was 24.4%, while the dropout rate at Class 8 was 41.3%. Overall, at the secondary level, the attendance rate for girls was 42.3% as against 52.7% for boys.
There has also been a steady increase in the number of dowry-related cases with a 36% increase in reported cases from 2011 to 2012. The discrimination also extends to health and nutrition. The proportion of male children who are fully immunized is 4% higher than female children. As time passes, nutritional outcomes for both boys and girls in 1-4 years age group seem to decline. However, they decline much faster for girls. By the time girls are 4 years old, they are much more likely than their brothers to be stunted, underweight, and have low mid upper arm circumference (widely considered the best measure of under-nutrition) the report said.

Q: Add a label to map at each leg start I'm plotting legs of a route to a ggmap.  It works okay so far.  I've been trying to add a label containing the order (n from the loop) of each leg.
I've tried +geom_text to the geom_leg() but I get the error :
Error in geom_leg(aes(x = startLon, y = startLat, xend = endLon, yend = endLat),  :
  non-numeric argument to binary operator

I'd appreciate any help adding a label to indicate the leg.
Data :
structure(c("53.193418", "53.1905138631287", "53.186744", "53.189836",
"53.1884117", "53.1902965", "53.1940384", "53.1934748", "53.1894004",
"53.1916771", "-2.881248", "-2.89043889005541", "-2.890165",
"-2.893896", "-2.88802", "-2.8919373", "-2.8972299", "-2.8814698",
"-2.8886692", "-2.8846099"), .Dim = c(10L, 2L))

Function :
create.map<-function(lst){

library("ggmap")

cncat<-c(paste(lst[,1],lst[,2],sep=","))

df2<-data.frame(cncat)

leg <-function(start, dest, order){

  r<- route(from=start,to=dest,mode = c("walking"),structure = c("legs"))
  c<- geom_leg(aes(x = startLon, y = startLat,xend = endLon, yend = endLat),
               alpha = 2/4, size = 2, data = r,colour = 'blue')+
    geom_text(aes(label = order), size = 3)

  return (c)
}

a<-qmap('Chester, UK', zoom = 15, maptype = 'road')

for (n in 1:9){
  l<-leg(as.character(df2[n,1]), as.character(df2[n+1,1]),n)
  a<-a+l
}

a

}

A: Is this close? (Note: this calls your list of points way.points).

way.points <- as.data.frame(way.points,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
library(ggmap)
rte.from <- apply(way.points[-nrow(way.points),],1,paste,collapse=",")
rte.to   <- apply(way.points[-1,],1,paste,collapse=",")
rte      <- do.call(rbind,
                    mapply(route, rte.from, rte.to, SIMPLIFY=FALSE,
                           MoreArgs=list(mode="walking",structure="legs")))
coords   <- rbind(as.matrix(rte[,7:8]),as.matrix(rte[nrow(rte),9:10]))
coords   <- as.data.frame(coords)
ggm <- qmap('Chester, UK', zoom = 15, maptype = 'road')
ggm +
  geom_path(data=coords,aes(x=startLon,y=startLat),color="blue",size=2)+
  geom_point(data=way.points,aes(x=as.numeric(V2),y=as.numeric(V1)),
             size=10,color="yellow")+
  geom_text(data=way.points,
            aes(x=as.numeric(V2),y=as.numeric(V1), label=seq_along(V1)))

So this assembles a vector of from and to coordinates using apply(...), then uses mapply(...) to call route(...) with both vectors, returning the overall list of coordinates in a data frame rte. Because the coordinates are stored as, e.g. $startLat and $endLat, we form a coords data frame by adding the final $endLat and $endLong to rte to get the very last leg of the route. Then we use geom_path(...) to draw the path in one step. Finally we use geom_text(...) with x and y-values from the original way.points data frame, and we use geom_point(...) just to make them stand out a bit.

A: Here's a bare bones solution. I just added the labels to the finished ggmap object a. If you replace the line
 a

with
lst2 <- data.frame(cbind(lst, leg = as.character(1:10) )
names(lst2) <- c("lat", "lon", "leg")
a <- a + geom_text(data=lst2,aes(x=lon,y=lat,label=leg),size=5, vjust = 0, hjust = -0.5)
return(a)

in your create.map function, you should get (roughly) the desired result.  I might have reversed the lat and lon variables, and you probably want to tweak the size, location, etc. Hope this helps!

142 Halsey Science Center
biology@uwosh.edu
The UW Oshkosh Insect Collection (UWOIC) and Museum of the Department of Biology is located in Halsey Science Center. The insect collection serves many purposes: teaching (specimens are used in classes to represent groups of insects being discussed); research (specimens from research projects are housed in the collection for future reference); consulting (inquiries made by local citizens concerning their insect problems); and outreach activities (local school classes tour the museum or talks are given at local/area schools with specimens from the collection used as examples).
The collection consists of approximately 200,000 specimens. All pinned or pointed specimens are stored in 21 Cornell or U.S. National Museum (12 drawers each) insect cabinets. Three of these cabinets contains study specimens of all major orders and families of insects and are directly accessible by students for study and reference purposes. In addition, five vial cabinets (10 drawers each) are for storage of specimens preserved in alcohol.. The collection also has approximately 1200 microscope slides that have been purchased commercially, prepared by students or the result of research projects.
Total numbers of pinned or pointed specimens for major groups of insects in the collection are: Coleoptera 7025; Lepidoptera 3293; Diptera 2754; Hymenoptera 2533; Hemiptera 2615; Orthoptera 771; and Odonata 394. Some adults of these and other Orders are preserved in alcohol. There are approximately 10,000 vials with alcohol-preserved adult and immature specimens. Most of these vials have multiple specimens and no attempt has been made to count each specimen. Many of the alcohol-preserved specimens are aquatic immature insects. There are several thousand specimens of Chironomidae larvae resulting from a multiple-year study of chironomid populations in Lake Winnebago and the feeding habits of lake sturgeon. The collection also includes approximately 9,000 Australian specimens most of which are aquatic species, especially Trichoptera larvae (3,922 specimens), all of which are identified to family and many to species.
Essentially all specimens have appropriate collection data labels. Many of the specimens were donated by students enrolled in the entomology classes. Most of these are local, regional or state specimens. However, specimens have been collected throughout the U.S.
In 2011 the UWOIC became a part of a regional (22 Midwestern collections) digitization effort (Invertnet) funded by NSF's Advancing Digitization of Biological Collections. Currently about 5,000 specimens have been digitized for this on-going project.
Associated with the Insect collection is an endowment held by the UW Oshkosh Foundation. This endowment provides money that is awarded to a student (undergraduate or graduate) whose responsibilities include assisting the staff entomologist in curating the insect collection. The award is usually made during the spring semester for the following academic year and provides financial help partially off-setting the student's tuition and academic fees. The awardee is selected by a committee of faculty members chaired by the entomologist in charge of the collection.
The current professor emeritus in charge of the collection has a personal insect collection (approximately 7,000) and an entomological library that will be donated to the UWO Foundation with the stipulation that the specimens, journals, reprints, books, reference keys, etc. remain with the UWOIC in perpetuity.

Maryland Juice has been watching the development of the last few news cycles relating to the 2014 gubernatorial primary, and I had begun thinking that Doug Gansler's campaign was getting beat up pretty badly in the media lately.
"Almost three weeks after Maryland's Health Exchange opened, only 16,000 of Maryland's 800,000 uninsured have been able to complete online applications. Our Lt. Governor, the man the Governor put in charge of the rollout, says that he had no idea there would be problems with the online enrollment program. He had time to send out a press release attacking my record fighting for the families of Maryland, but he doesn't have time to watch out for so many uninsured Marylanders – time for politics, but not for people. In 2008, one of the reasons Doug Gansler and I supported then Senator Obama was his commitment to healthcare reform. Getting it done was an historic achievement. We owed it to our President and to the people of Maryland to get this right."
And with that, I would say hold on to your hats folks. The epic 2014 gubernatorial battle may be headed in as rapid a negative direction as we've seen, since the 2012 primary battle between John Delaney & Rob Garagiola!

Moorland Visitor Centre, Edale
Losehill Hall
Castleton Village
Published by Megi at April 27, 2019
Those looking to find out about the Peak District and how to best protect it may wish to visit one of the Moorland visitor centres within the park. The flagship visitor centre is the Moorland Visitor centre in Edale, which specialises in moorland research, and provides visitors to the park with a range of interesting information.
The centre itself hosts a number of interactive exhibitions and has been designed in an eco-friendly manner. The roof of the building consists of living turf, with a waterfall which runs over the roof of the building providing a fantastic natural display. The waterfall runs into a pool found at the entrance to the building. Power in the building is provided by a ground source heat pump, which boasts an energy saving design. Edale is also the location of the Southern starting point of the Pennine Way so receives a significant amount of visitors.
A number of facilities are also available at the visitor centre due to its location at the beginning of the Pennine Way. These include toilets, as well as a campsite in the surrounding grounds. Water is also available for hikers, which comes from the waterfall.
A lot of work in the centre also goes towards providing visitors with information regarding animals which live within the park. This information helps highlight how visitors to the park can help ensure they do not damage the sensitive ecosystems of these animals found within the Peak District.
The educational and informative nature of the visitor centre makes it a firm favourite among schools in the surrounding area. The staff from the centre are both open and friendly and can provide school children with a useful insight into the park. Teachers interested in taking children to the centre should contact the centre in advance.

He decided to concentrate all his efforts in providing all the support needed by his brother to make it big in the music world.
At the age of seven, Rafi learnt Hindustani Classical music under the renowned Ustaad Bade Gulam Ali Khan and Vahida Khan.
Mohd Rafi started his career at the age of 20, with a punjabi song, Soniye Hiriye, teri yaad ne bahut sataya for the movie Gul Baloch, which was released on 28th February, 1944. Many of his songs were sung by youths and school-going kids. Rafi was invited by Nasir, a well-known actor of those times to Bombay. From this point, there was no turning back. Rafi sang for Shamji Sundarji's production Gaon Ki Gori.
K.L.Saigal & Pandit Paulsikar had no words for Rafi's praise. When Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, Rafi sang a song Suno Suno Ay Duniya Walon, Bapu ki Yeh Amar kahani written by Rajinder Krishan and music by Hunslal Bhagatram.
Rafi Sahab received the National Rajat Kamal Award from President Sanjiva Reddy for his song 'Kya Hua Tera Vaada' in the film 'Hum Kissise Kum Nahin' in 1977. Rafi used to sing pops, qawalli, bhajan, ghazal, romantic, rock'n'roll, light music, slow numbers, sad song, parody, fast numbers, almost anything.
Government in 1965 with the prestigious PadmaShree Award.
With the start of the famous Binaca Geet Mala in 1952, the program aired the immortal songs of the film Baiju Bawra and this really launched Rafi as a popular singer for all ages. Thousands of request for Rafi's songs poured into Sri Lanka Radio. If he stylised his voice for the Dev Anand's mannerisms, he took the job of instilling emotions in deadpans Suhani Raat Dal Chukhi in Dulari. It would not be an exaggeration to say that actors like Shammi Kapoor owe their career to this little man with the Voice of God.
Rafi did not imitate any one nor did he stop any one from imitating him.Through out his carreer Rafi has not been accused of anything. Nor did he stop any new singer from taking his position.
Now, Rafi is not amongst us, but that divine voice and soul will never fade from this earth. He was, and remains, a major force in film music, the music of love, despair, hope, humor…etc. Rafi's voice had the healing capability. His music is calm, raging,deep, beautiful. It is the manifestation of the goodness and the divine.
An article in Times of India, published on 24 July 2010 sums up his voice as, "If there are 101 ways of saying "I love you" in a song, Mohammed Rafi knew them all.The awkwardness of puppy love, the friskiness of teen romance, the philosophy of unrequited love and the anguish of heartbreak - he could explore every crevice of ardour. It wasn't just love, his voice could capture the navras of life - a failed poet's melancholy, a fiery unionist's vim, a debt-ridden farmer's despair, really anybody at all. Rafi, whose career spanned nearly four decades, was a singer for every season and every reason."
In a reality show X-factor in india, Shreya Ghoshal said "If god would have voice then that would have been in the form of Mohd Rafi's voice."

YOUR TURN: Let's talk about police-involved shootings
Jennifer Webb-McRae
The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office is holding a program on Officer Involved Shooting Investigations from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 24, at Union Baptist Temple, 30 Martin Luther King Way, Bridgeton. We'll be discussing Attorney General Guideline 2006-05 (revised in 2015), which governs the way we do OIS investigations in Cumberland County. In our 2016 Cumberland County Law Enforcement Community Engagement Series, we covered what a prosecutor's office must do when a police officer's use of force causes death or serious bodily injury. This may cause you to ask why we are doing it again.
The first reason is because New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal mandated that all 21 county prosecutors conduct a series called the "21 County 21st Century Community Policing Project." The first topic to be completed between March and May 2018 is OIS investigations. The second, and more important, reason for doing so is that one conversation about such an important topic will never be enough. Not when encounters between police and the public (whether they be deadly or not) continue to be a regular staple on the 24-hour news cycle. Not when the outcomes of these investigations continue to leave the public divided as to what constitutes a just result.
My grandmother used to always say that there are always three sides to a story: yours, mine and the truth. In the arena of these investigations, law enforcement executives struggle with how the outcome of an investigation can be perceived so differently by different stakeholders in our system. Assuredly, that is a result of us all seeing facts through our own lens created by our background, upbringing and experience. It causes us to ask questions like:
When can a police officer use lethal force to defend his life or that of another?
How can law enforcement investigate itself? Should an independent prosecutor or the Attorney General's Office investigate all deadly encounters with police?
When does a police-involved deadly encounter go to the grand jury? Why is the grand jury the mechanism used to prosecute an OIS matter?
Why does the prosecutor withhold the name of the involved police officer?
Why does the prosecutor initially withhold the release of recordings and videos?
Why do OIS investigations take so long?
Why is an officer placed on paid leave during an OIS investigation? Does an officer have to be placed on administrative duty during an OIS investigation?
What can be done to ensure confidence in the process?
Why does race so prevalently influence whether OIS investigations are perceived as fair?
All of these are fair questions. They all deserve me taking the time to answer. An informed public will be better equipped to challenge the answers and influence a more fair and just system. My preference is to have these tough conversations in the regular course business, so I'm not meeting those who take issue for the first time during a crisis. That is why we have to constantly discuss how these investigations are performed.
I hope to see you on May 24, so that we can dialogue about OIS investigations.
Jennifer Webb-McRae is Cumberland County's prosecutor.

Railway Minister's big decision, now the guard of the train is not a guard; will be called by this name
New Delhi : Indian Railways: Railway Board has fulfilled the years old demand of railway employees. The guard posted in the train will now be known as Train Manager. In this regard, a letter has been issued by the Railway Board to the General Managers of all the Railways. This change was being demanded from the Railway Employees Union for a long time.
Decision will be implemented with immediate effect
This decision will be implemented with immediate effect. It has also been publicly announced on the official account of Indian Railways. The years old demand of the employees has been fulfilled by the decisions of the Railway Board. There was a demand to change the designation of the guard since 2004.

MUSICAL THEATRE: Priscilla Queen Of The Desert
Welcome to UK Music Reviews » MUSICAL THEATRE: Priscilla Queen Of The Desert
Categories:	Musical Theatre
Priscilla Queen Of The Desert performed at The Royal Concert Hall Nottingham on Monday 18th January 2016
Review by Sandra Cooper
To say that Priscilla Queen Of The Desert is a little bit camp, would be like saying that Hamlet is a little bit tragic.
Based loosely on the 1994 film of the same name, it tells a story of two drag queens and a transsexual who aboard their battered bus christened 'Priscilla', travel the 2000 miles from Sydney to Alice Springs, with the trio's mileage being ultimately as much about self-discovery as the journey itself.
Jason Donovan plays Tick, who earns his living as a drag queen (Mitzi) at a Sydney Club. He gets a call from his wife asking him to play a series of dates in Alice Springs and to meet his six year old son for the first time.
Accompanying him is Adam, a delightful petulant Kylie-obsessed drag queen known as Felicia, who on the night was played superbly by stand in Robin Mills. But it was Simon Green who stole the scenes as transsexual Bernadette, capturing the grace, dignity, wit and wisdom of someone who has lived life to the full. Her flooring of a red neck bigot was a highlight in a show full of highlights.
With vibrantly coloured costumes, wigs, hats and shoes, including bell bottomed, platform heeled onesies and a mini dress made from flip flops; costume directors Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner's imaginations must have been in over drive.
There was also a score of disco floor fillers from I Love The Night Life (Disco Round) to MacArthur Park. With other well-known numbers like I Will Survive, Don't Leave Me This Way, Go West, Hot Stuff and a few Kylie classics along the way, you couldn't help but tap your feet.
Although Donovan's singing voice wasn't the most powerful of those on stage, he used it to good effect in numbers like Say A Little Prayer and Always On My Mind, and threw himself wholeheartedly into the energetic dance routines as well as bringing tenderness to the reunion with his son.
As unhappily married mechanic Bob, Philip Childs also delivers a poignant performance, jumping the matrimonial ship to join the bus. His mail order wife Cynthia, exuberantly played by Julie Yammanee was hilarious in her Pop Muzak routine.
Callam MacDonald had a ball in his role as Sydney drag queen, Miss Understanding, belting out What's Love Got To Do With It, in a stonking, stomping and extremely funny take on Tina Turner. Another piece of class comedy was unleashed by Catherine Mort as a butch, bosom bouncing Shirley, throwing her weight about in a seedy bar in Broken Hill.
Whilst social attitudes and gay rights have moved on since Stephen Elliott's film classic, this musical odyssey still touches on homophobia; illuminating the downside of parading sexual differences. The road trip was at the very least thought provoking as the tender scene after Adam has been beaten up shows. Their vulnerability was there for all to see as the very moving Bernadette told her travelling companions, "Never forget the cost of our choices".
This was a flamboyant, funny and entertaining show. Tick was reunited with his son who accepts him for what he is; Bernadette finds love with Bob and the delightful Felicia achieves a life time ambition of singing a Kylie song on Ayers Rock whilst dressed in a frock. It was a remarkable journey and at the end of the evening the audience were up on its feet dancing in the aisles, and there is no better recommendation for a fun night out than that.
