Reconstructed photos of suspected killers in Uganda terror attacks on football fans published by INTERPOL
LYON, France – INTERPOL Black Notices featuring reconstructed photos of two suspected suicide bombers who targeted football fans watching the World Cup final in Kampala, have been issued at the request of Uganda Police in a bid to identify the suspects.
Remains of the bombers recovered from the scenes following the blasts on the night of Sunday 11 July in the Ugandan capital, enabled the international teams deployed to assist the investigation to re-construct photos showing their possible appearance.
At the request of the Ugandan Police, INTERPOL has now issued Black Notices – used to seek information about unidentified bodies – to each of its 188 member countries and is publishing the reconstructed photos of the suspects to engage public assistance in identifying the men.
"With INTERPOL issuing the Black Notices to our law enforcement colleagues around the world and by making these photos public, we believe someone, somewhere could recognize one or both of these men," said head of the Ugandan Police, Inspector General Kale Kayihura.
"Our investigation into these terrible acts is advancing, and publishing these photos is another step forward in finding those responsible for the death and injury of so many innocent victims.
"The level of support that is being provided to the Ugandan Police by INTERPOL and law enforcement officers from around the world is both welcome and important to our investigation," added the Inspector General.
At the request of the Ugandan police, INTERPOL deployed an Incident Response Team (IRT) immediately following the attacks on the Ethopian Village Restaurant and the Kyandondo Rugby Club which left more than 70 people dead and at least 70 more seriously injured. The IRT is working as part of an international multi-agency team under the authority of the Ugandan Police Force.
"Uganda's decision to request INTERPOL Black Notices and to make these photos public is a clear demonstration that they are doing everything they can to identify those suspected of carrying out these attacks which will then enable them to find any other individuals involved and bring them to justice," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
"INTERPOL and all of our member countries will continue to offer every support to the Ugandan Police throughout this investigation, whether through the issue of notices, carrying out checks against our global databases, or ensuring that requests for information are dealt with as quickly as possible," added the head of INTERPOL.
The first INTERPOL IRT was deployed in October 2002 to Indonesia following a terrorist bombing in Bali. To date, more than 50 teams have been deployed to 35 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe, including for the 2004 Asian tsunami and following the Mumbai terror attacks in December 2008.

Rights and Permissions for Political Philosophy and the Challenge of Revealed Religion
Heinrich Meier's guiding insight in Political Philosophy and the Challenge of Revealed Religion is that philosophy must prove its right and its necessity in the face of the claim to truth and demand obedience of its most powerful opponent, revealed religion. Philosophy must rationally justify and politically defend its free and unreserved questioning, and, in doing so, turns decisively to political philosophy.
In the first of three chapters, Meier determines four intertwined moments constituting the concept of political philosophy as an articulated and internally dynamic whole. The following two chapters develop the concept through the interpretation of two masterpieces of political philosophy that have occupied Meier's attention for more than thirty years: Leo Strauss's Thoughts on Machiavelli and Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Social Contract. Meier provides a detailed investigation of Thoughts on Machiavelli, with an appendix containing Strauss's original manuscript headings for each of his paragraphs. Linking the problem of Socrates (the origin of political philosophy) with the problem of Machiavelli (the beginning of modern political philosophy), while placing between them the political and theological claims opposed to philosophy, Strauss's most complex and controversial book proves to be, as Meier shows, the most astonishing treatise on the challenge of revealed religion. The final chapter, which offers a new interpretation of the Social Contract, demonstrates that Rousseau's most famous work can be adequately understood only as a coherent political-philosophic response to theocracy in all its forms.

"Meier has written and taught extensively on political philosophy, with an understanding on the topic that allows for nuanced original insights. Political Philosophy and the Challenge of Revealed Religion is an example of such work."
International Journal of Public Theology
"Meier, the world's foremost Strauss scholar, came to Strauss's work through his own reading rather than as a member of Strauss's 'school,' making his perspective unique. As such, he is well positioned to say of Strauss what the man would not say of himself. And Meier's calling out of Strauss as a philosopher is not merely a correction of the historical ledger. It contains an understanding of what it means to be a philosopher, an understanding that Political Philosophy and the Challenge of Revealed Religion shares and explores with great subtly and daring."

Egyptian police jail Eritreans protesting to the UN refugee agency
MARTIN PLAUT
There are reports that the Egyptian police jailed 81 Eritrean protesters who were attempting to raise issues with the UNHCR concerning their treatment. [See below]
Witnesses say that the Egyptian police seem to have considered the demonstration a protest against the Egyptian government and as a security issue.
Most of those detained are reported to have been released, but five are said to remain in detention at an undisclosed location.
Most of those still in prison are outspoken critics of the government in Eritrea.
Their friends suspect PFDJ embassy staff of being behind presenting the march to the police as something against the Egyptian government.
They are afraid Egypt will deport those still in detention to make an example of them.
Human Rights Watch has previously expressed its concern that Eritreans would be 'refouled' – or deported back to Eritrea.

If your HP laptop will not boot, you need to apply special techniques to get it to work properly. While laptops are quite similar to a normal PC, just in a different form factor, their distinct hardware difference makes troubleshooting boot problems more difficult. If your laptop is not booting up, there are several things you can do to try and resolve your issue. An HP laptop will not boot for several reasons, such as no power, not being able to find the hard drive, faulty RAM or even a bad display. Determining the exact symptom of the laptop failure is key in finding a way to resolve it.
This is one of the first things you should try with any PC, whether it is a desktop or a laptop. A hard reset will drain any lingering power from the motherboard capacitors that could be preventing your computer from powering up. To perform a hard reset, disconnect everything from the laptop, remove the power adapter and the battery. Next, hold down the power button for at least twenty seconds. Reconnect only the power adapter and then press the power button. If you see LEDs lighting and hear the power supply spinning, you should be fine. But if your HP laptop will not boot, you'll need to continue troubleshooting.
If you do not see any LEDs lit up, then you have a no power issue. You will need to swap in a new power adapter or a new laptop battery. If the laptop is a couple years old, then you should replace it. Otherwise, a power adapter is cheaper to purchase and you should start there. If you swap out both of these and still have no power, your issue might be at the motherboard level.
If your laptop beeps more than once, then you have some type of hardware issue and the BIOS is trying to alert you by producing that code. Listen to the code carefully and refer to the HP website for more details. You will need to look up your model under the support section and refer to the post codes for clues as to the nature of the problem.
If you have not made any recent changes with your HP laptop, and if your laptop sounds like it is booting normally but the screen is black, then you probably have a problem with your screen or the screen inverter. Refer to this guide to troubleshoot laptop screens or screen inverters. If your HP laptop will not boot and you need additional help, be sure to join our forums and ask.
It may be related to the NVIDIA Chipset. Last year nearly all DV6000, DV2000, DV9000 and many other HP's had that had these issues were recalled. The recall is now over and HP is still recovering.
My Dell Inspiron 1420 will not start. It has gone through a start up repair procedure, but is unable to fix it. The root cause found says system files integrity check and repair failed; error code: 0 x 490. How do I get it repaired?
My hp laptop (hp pavilion ze1000 series) does not boot from the hard disk drive any more, but still can boot from the CD-ROM. So I could recover the system using the four recovery discs F5398 – 12002A Pavilion that I purchased with the laptop, but, unfortunately, the second disk is damaged. How could I have a copy or a new one? Thanks!
My HP Pavilion will not boot up….lights come on but it sounds like the cdrom is struggling….
Is there a disk in the drive? Can you open the drive? Any recent changes to the computer?
I have a 2004 HP Laptop with Windows Vista. Everytime I start the computer, it starts downloading updates. The screen says " Configuring updates Stage 3 of 3-Shows the percentage of down load, when it gets to 100%, it will restart and go right back to the updates downloading again. I t will not go to my sign on screen. It just keeps repeating this over and over again. Can someone please help me. I dont have a boot disk. Is there a web site that will download one for free?
Try tapping F8 at boot and go into safe mode with networking. From there, you should be able to stop the update that is stuck in the remove programs section of the control panel (the updates are located at the bottom). If not, please join our free forums and post your problem there for our community to help answer.
I have a nx6120 laptop.
I have attempted to hard reset to no avail.
When I have the power cord in, the power light is green, however, when I attempt to turn the laptop on, it tries to boot and the light flashes orange, is solid orange for a split second and then returns to green. Same flashing occurs without the battery in. Please help!
Vistatech, sorry to hear that. I have no idea if HP would give you a free repair. My guess is no, but it wouldn't hurt to contact them and see what they say. Good luck.
my hp compaq nx 9030 will not power on. no lights nothing. my adapter is working well. please help me.
Is the battery good? Have you tried powering on with the battery out and the laptop plugged in? Did you notice it not charging prior to it not working? Usually in the case with dekstops it is either the power supply or the motherboard…but since this is a laptop, other things come into play.
I suggest you join our free forums at http://www.pctechbytes.net so other techs can help troubleshoot this issue.
I have a dell inspiron 1525 which doesnot boot. The fan starts then stops by itself after 6 seconds.power light and charging lights are on . The lights are on but doesn't start.
Sam, join our free forums and post your question there. Give us as much detail as you can and we'll help you sort it out.
HP 8530P will not boot or boots intermittently. When the power button is pushed the charge light (lightening bolt) flashes ~10 times then the little "i" with the circle around it comes on and then goes out. Sometimes I have to remove the power from the laptop and just boot from the battery with similar out come. If the laptop boots it work correctly… HELP I've done the following to try to resolve the problem. I've Swapped memory for known good set, replaced CMOS battery, replace battery, have two power supplies, same problem with both power supplies. I've also reset the system buy removing the battery and held down the power button for 30sec.
Dave I did everything you said for the no boot on my HP and finally came to conclusion it was A/C adapter. Your step by step instructions did the trick. Just a note if your laptop will not boot but yo get three blinking lights first make sure power is good because without power memory will not boot and you may try to fix something not broken. Thanks again Dave.

Q: Checking and Returning 1 or 0 if Linked List is Palindrome? I want to write a function in C that checks if a singly linked list is a palindrome.
I have separated my code in this order:
This is the lists.h file:
#ifndef LISTS_H
#define LISTS_H
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/**
 * struct listint_s - singly linked list
 * @n: integer
 * @next: points to the next node
 *
 * Description: singly linked list node structure

 */
typedef struct listint_s {
    int n;
    struct listint_s *next;
} listint_t;

size_t print_listint(const listint_t *h);
listint_t *add_nodeint_end(listint_t **head, const int n);
void free_listint(listint_t *head);

int is_palindrome(listint_t **head);

listint_t *reverse(listint_t *head);

#endif /* LISTS_H */

0-main.c file:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lists.h"

/**

 *
 * Return: Always 0.
 */
int main(void)
{
    listint_t *head;

    head = NULL;
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 1);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 17);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 972);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 50);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 97);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 98);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 50);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 972);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 17);
    add_nodeint_end(&head, 1);
    print_listint(head);

    if (is_palindrome(&head) == 1)
        printf("Linked list is a palindrome\n");
    else
        printf("Linked list is not a palindrome\n");

    free_listint(head);

    return (0);
}

linked_lists.c file:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lists.h"

/**

    n = 0;
    while (current != NULL)
    {
        printf("%i\n", current->n);
        current = current->next;
        n++;
    }

    return (n);
}

/**

 */
listint_t *add_nodeint_end(listint_t **head, const int n)
{
    listint_t *new;
    listint_t *current;

    current = *head;

    new = malloc(sizeof(listint_t));

    }
}

0-is_palindrome.c file (the file that has the problem):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lists.h"

/**
 * is_palindrome - check the code for Holberton School students.
 * @head: the head of the linked list
 * Return: Always 0.
 */
int is_palindrome(listint_t **head)
{
    if (head == NULL) {
        return (1);
    }
    listint_t *mainnode;
    listint_t *reversedlist;
    mainnode = *head;
    reversedlist = *head;
    reversedlist = reverse(reversedlist);
    while (reversedlist != NULL)
    {
        if (mainnode->n != reversedlist->n)
        {
            return (0);
        }
        reversedlist = reversedlist->next;
        mainnode = mainnode->next;
    }
    return (1);
}

/**
 * reverse - check the code for Holberton School students.
 * @head: the head of the linked list

listint_t *reverse(listint_t *head)

    listint_t *prev = NULL;
    listint_t *current = head;
    listint_t *next = NULL;

    while (current != NULL)
    {
        next = current->next;
        current->next = prev;
        prev = current;
        current = next;
    }

    return (prev);
}

Compilation command:
gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic 0-main.c linked_lists.c 0-is_palindrome.c -o palindrome

I'm getting segmentation fault and before I tweaked it to start getting segmentation fault it would always return 1 even if the linked list isn't a palindrome.
I only want to modify the 0-is_palindrome.c file the other should stay the same, my idea is that the list gets reversed and gets compared to the original list before returning either 1 or 0 and as you can see in the code it breaks when the value of the reversed list is different from the original list.
What can I do to fix this issue?

A: Your implementation does not work because reverse does not construct a new list, but instead modifies the argument list.
Furthermore, there is no reason for is_palindrome to modify the list, nor its initial node, so the prototype should be:
int is_palindrome(const listint_t *head);

For a brute force approach, you could compute the length of the list and compare elements at offsets i and length - i - 1 in a loop while i < length / 2. The list is a palindrome if all comparisons succeed, you can return 0 as soon as one comparison fails.

You'll develop new skills, or deepen existing skills – not just practical skills such as languages, but also softer skills such as emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.
You will learn to become more adaptable and flexible. Unlike in the west, the solution to most practical problems cannot be bought in a store, when you're in rural Africa you need to be resourceful. Being placed in an unfamiliar environment forces you to use your initiative and develop self-confidence.
You meet some truly amazing people, from within the communities that you join and amongst your fellow volunteers. Life long friendships can be formed in an environment where you frequently live, work and play closer to people than anywhere else in your life.

For example, you remember participating in a discussion during the last three months about how to increase customer survey participation, but you can't remember the discussion title, which space the discussion occurred in, or the other participants. Use the Spotlight search at the top right and type in keywords such as customer survey. Click View all Results and then click Discussions in the top menu because you don't need to see results from blogs, documents, or polls.
Tip: If you still can't find the discussion, it is possible that it wasn't a discussion that you remember. You might try looking in the comments of documents or blogs.

A racing variant first appeared in 1939, with the V8RI, and a road-going version was later introduced with the Maserati 5000 GT in 1959, and later ending with the Maserati 3200 GT, in 2002. The engines ranged in displacement from , and production continued until 2002. It was later succeeded by (but not to be confused with) the Ferrari-Maserati engine; a separate engine, completely designed, developed and produced by Ferrari, but used in several Maserati models.

England and Wales constitute two divisions of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. They are divided into fifty-two counties, forty in England and twelve in Wales, and have an area of 58,323 square miles and a population (1901) of 32,526,075. The established Church is the Church of England (see ENGLAND, CHURCH OF), but all other religious bodies are fully recognized and tolerated, and no civil disability attaches to any class of British subjects because of their religious beliefs or unbelief. Since no religious census of Great Britain has recently been taken, the statistics of the present article are drawn from year-books and other sources, so that the figures represent not only different years, but also refer sometimes to England alone, sometimes to England and Wales, and sometimes to the British Isles.
1. Established Church. In the Established Church in England and Wales there are two archbishops, thirty-five bishops, thirty suffragan and two assistant bishops. Under the bishops are thirty-two deans, ninety-five archdeacons, and eight hundred and ten rural deans. For the management of ecclesiastical affairs, each of the archbishoprics, or "provinces," has a council, or Convocation (q.v.), consisting of the bishops, archdeacons, and deans in person, and of a certain number of proctors as the representatives of the clergy. These councils are summoned by the respective archbishops in pursuance of the king's command. When assembled, they must have the king's license before they can deliberate and also the sanction of the crown to their resolutions before they are binding on the clergy, so that their actual power is extremely limited. The number of civil parishes (districts for which a separate poor rate is or can be made) was 14,900 at the census of 1901. These, however, seldom coincide with ecclesiastical parishes, which, during recent years, have lost their old importance, the ancient parishes having been frequently divided into districts, each of which is virtually an independent parish. Of such parishes there were 14,080 in 1901, including those of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Since 1818 the Church Building Society and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have formed upward of 3,000 new ecclesiastical parishes. Each parish has its church, presided over by an incumbent in priest's orders, and known as rector, vicar, or perpetual curate according to his relation to the temporalities of his parish. Private persons possess the right of presentation to about 8,500 benefices; the patronage of the others belongs mainly to the king, the bishops and cathedrals, the Lord Chancellor, and the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The census returns for 1901 gave the number of the clergy of the Church of England as 25,235. In 1905 there were 14,029 incumbents and about 7,500 curates and unbeneficed clergy, while the non-active list comprised about 4,000. The church accommodation, according to returns by 13,948 incumbents, was as follows: in parish churches, 5,774,608; in chapels-of-ease, 674,038; in mission-rooms, etc., 733,607; total 7,182,253. The number of communicants was estimated at 2,223,207; of Sunday School teachers at 209,338; of Sunday School scholars at 2,467,902. The gross annual income of the clergy in 1904-05 was estimated at £4,539,350, and the net income at £3,574,430. The amount of the voluntary contributions in 1904-05 was put approximately at £8,029,714, of which £2,290,247 were expended by central societies, institutions, etc., for home and foreign missions and other educational and philanthropic works, while £5,546,029 consisted of funds applied to local purposes, such as elementary education, the support of the clergy, and general parochial work, and £193,437 were for the extension of the episcopate in England. Of 29,632 churches and chapels registered for the solemnization of marriage in 1904, 15,538 belonged to the Established Church and 14,094 to other religious denominations.
2. Presbyterians and Methodists. The Presbyterian Church of England had, in 1907, twelve presbyteries, 345 congregations, fifteen preaching stations, and 85,755 members. It has a theological college and supports seventy-eight missionaries abroad, including thirty-three women. In 1905 the amount raised for all purposes was £304,613. Other Presbyterian divisions in England are the Reformed Presbyterian Synod, Eastern Reformed Synod, United Original Seceders, and Synod of the Church of Scotland in England (see PRESBYTERIANS). Under the general designation of Methodists (q.v.) are included all those religious bodies which owe their existence, directly or indirectly, to the efforts of John and Charles Wesley. The most numerous and influential of them are the Wesleyan Methodists, the original body founded in 1739. They are governed primarily by the Conference and secondarily by the Synods, the latter being semi-annual meetings of the ministers and selected laymen in each district, with a chairman appointed by the Conference, which is now composed of 300 ministers and an equal number of laymen, with a ministerial president and secretary elected annually. There are likewise quarterly meetings of the ministers and lay officers of each circuit. The authority of both the latter bodies is subordinate to that of the Conference. They reported for Great Britain in 1907 2,445 ministers, 19,672 lay preachers, 539,146 church members, 7,566 Sunday Schools, 133,108 officers and teachers, 1,000,819 scholars, and 8,520 churches with seating capacity of 2,326,228. Various divisions of Methodists have been formed, the most important being (1) the Methodist New Connexion, formed in 1797 by Alexander Kilham, (2) Primitive Methodists, (3) Bible Christians, and (4) United Methodist Free Churches (see METHODISTS ).
3. Congregationalists, Baptists, Calvinistic Methodists. The Independents or Congregationalists reject episcopacy and presbyteries. In 1907 they had fifty-one county and other associations in England and Wales, with 4,661 churches and preaching stations containing 1,694,879 sittings; the number of ministers in the British Isles was then 3,253. Of these 238 were temporarily without pastoral charge, seventy-nine were engaged in collegiate and tutorial duties, forty-four were occupied in secretarial work, and 378 had retired from the active pastorate because of old age or ill health (see CONGREGATIONALISTS). The Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, with forty-four chapels and mission stations, is the outcome of the eighteenth century revival. It is governed by nine trustees assisted by an annual conference of ministers and delegates. The Baptists, like the Congregationalists, are grouped for the most part in associations of churches, the majority of which belong to the Baptist Union, formed in 1813. In England and Wales there were, in 1907, 6,706 churches and chapels and 1,972 pastors. The members numbered 405,244, the Sunday School teachers 57,240, and the Sunday School scholars 564,939. The Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Connexion (see PRESBYTERIANS) is the only church of purely Welsh origin, and embraces a very large section of the Welsh-speaking population. The form of Church government is Presbyterian, and the Church is in federation with the United Free Church of Scotland and with the Presbyterian Church of England. In 1906 the denomination had 1,411 churches; 1,620 chapels and places of worship; 1,248 ministers and preachers; 5,946 deacons; 189,164 communicants; 3,050 on probation; 27,112 Sunday School teachers; and 195,227 Sunday School scholars. For the concerted movement of non-conformists against prelacy see FREE CHURCH FEDERATION.
4. Salvation Army, Minor Denominations, Roman Catholics. The Salvation Army (q.v.) is one of the most recent religious denominations and one of the most successful. In Aug., 1906, the number of officers, cadets, and employees was 20,077, of corps and outposts 7,680, and of local officers 45,320. Connected with the Salvation Army are numerous philanthropic institutions under various denominations, including 110 rescue houses for fallen women, 132 slum posts, fifteen prison-gate homes, 183 shelters and cheap food depots for the homeless, 102 workshops and factories, forty-five Labor bureaus, thirteen farms, etc. Among the minor denominations the most important are the Unitarians with about 350 ministers and 345 chapels and other places of worship. The Society of Friends (q.v.) has 18,466 members in Great Britain, 424 recorded ministers, including over 150 women, and 421 places of worship. The Churches of Christ have 13,844 members and 179 churches in the British Isles, with 153 Sunday Schools, 1,583 teachers, and 16,041 scholars. The Moravian (q.v.) have about fifty congregations and preaching stations. The Free Church of England (q.v.) has twenty-four ministers, twenty-seven churches, 1,352 communicants, 8,140 sittings, 361 Sunday School teachers, and 4,196 Sunday School scholars. The Reformed Episcopal Church has twenty-eight ministers, 1,990 communicants, 6,000 sittings, 256 Sunday School teachers, and 2,600 Sunday School scholars (see REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH). The Catholic Apostolic Church (q.v.) has about eighty churches; the New Jerusalem Church (q.v.) has seventy-five societies, with 6,063 registered members; the Mormons (q.v.) have eighty-two churches; and the Plymouth Brethren (q.v.) have twenty-three places of worship In London and its suburbs. In the United Kingdom there are about 196,000 Jews, mainly in London and other large towns. They have 200 synagogues, with about 200 ministers and readers. The Jews support their own poor and raise about £150,000 annually for religious and benevolent purposes. The Mohammedans have a mosque. The Greeks have churches in London, Manchester, and Liverpool; the Armenians possess churches in London and Manchester and the French, Dutch, Swedes, and Swiss have places of worship in London, Norwich, and Canterbury. The Roman Catholic Church has in the British Empire thirty archiepiscopal and 106 episcopal sees, thirty-four vicariates, and twelve prefectures apostolic. Including two delegates apostolic, seven coadjutors and seven auxiliary bishops the archbishops and bishops now holding office in the British Empire number 180.
5. Theological Schools. There are in the British Isles fifty theological schools, divided as follows: Church of England twenty-one, i.e., sixteen theological colleges,--Aberdare (founded in 1892) Cambridge (Ridley Hall, 1881), Chichester (1839), Cuddesdon (1854) Edinburgh (1845), Ely (1876), Isle of Man (Bishop Wilson Theological School, 1897) Leeds Clergy School (1876), Lichfield (1857), Lincoln (1874), Oxford (Wycliffe Hall, 1876, and St. Stephen's House, 1876), St. Aidan's (1846), Highbury (St. John's Hall, University of London, 1863) Salisbury (1861), and Wells (1840)--and five missionary colleges,--St. Augustine's (Canterbury), Islington, Burgh (Lincolnshire), Dorchester (Oxfordshire), and St. Boniface (Warminster). The Methodists have eight colleges, i.e., the Wesleyan Methodists five,--Richmond, Didsbury (Manchester), Headingley (Leeds), Handsworth (Birmingham), and Belfast; the Primitive Methodists and the Free Methodists one each at Manchester; and the Methodist New Connexion one at Ranmoor (Sheffield). The Congregationalists have nine,--New (London, 1696), Western (Bristol, 1752) Yorkshire United (Bradford, 1756), Hampstead (1803), Lancashire (Manchester, 1816), Mansfield (Oxford, 1886), Nottingham (1863), Memorial (Brecon, 1755), and Bangor (1841). The Baptists have seven,--Bristol (1680), Bangor (1862), Rawdon (Yorkshire, 1804), Regent's Park (London 1810), Pastors' (1856), Manchester (1866), and Cardiff (1807). The Presbyterians have a college at Cambridge (Westminster), the Calvinistic Methodists two at Bala and Aberystwyth, and the Unitarians one at Oxford (Manchester), while an undenominational theological school is located at Carmarthen (founded in 1689).

Statement taking or witness statements as it also referred to, is a document recording evidence of a person, which is signed by that person to confirm the contents of the statement is true.
The statement can record what the witness saw, heard or felt. You can then keep a copy of the statement and it can by used by many regulatory bodies including the courts.
My statements are voluntary which means you are seeking out my services to create evidence of a particular situation or point in time. They can take the form of written, sound recorded or video recorded interviews.
Quite often, when it becomes a police matter, the police will take a statement, but it can also assist greatly if the likes of a private investigator takes an additional statement to be presented with the client's allegation.
My statements, written as a "first person" conversation, follow a professional format that is easy to follow and easy to read.
It is vital for the validity of the statement that all relevant points are covered once the statement is submitted.
What are the statements used for?
Statements are normally used for legal purposes and can assist in getting out of a non beneficial situation.
Sometimes it can be a good idea to have a statement taken at a point in time, with a view to the statement assisting you in the future.
Therefore, I always advise clients to keep a copy in a safe and secure location. My statements are valid for many years, however ultimately, it is up to the courts to interpret the documents and their validity.
In order to have a statement that holds up in court, engaging the services of a professional can be highly beneficial. The process is quite simple. First I will meet with you (claimant or witness) and discuss the incident in detail. We call this the 'witness interview'.
After the witness interview, you will be given the opportunity to check the details and provide corrections before the statement is signed by yourself and me.
In some cases, I will organise to have a witness present during the statement taking. If you have a problem understanding English, I will organise to have an interpreter or translator in attendance. See this link for registered interpreters and translators.
I will also organise to have the right organisations involved to assist with the witness statement process if you are hearing or visually impaired etc.
Sometimes it can be difficult to put into words your observations and therefore, we can use diagrams and sketches to attach to the statement.
Finally we both sign and date the statement declaring the document to be true.
I will never attempt to create a statement from a person who is physically or mentally unfit to make a statement. It is important to me that you don't feel like a suspect but rather, a person who is simply stating the truth about the situation.
My job is to record accurate notes which will explain the situation in a way that can not be misinterpreted by other jurisdictions. I will sometimes record the interview to give the statement further power. This will only be done with your prior knowledge and consent.
You can at the time of interview request a copy of your statement at no extra cost. If you want more information about QLD police witness statements, read this page for more information.
Are you a witness to an accident?
My services are discreet and professional, making the process less daunting for you and family members.

So begins another school year; I hope this morning is not indicative of how the entire year is going to be! We none of us slept very well for a variety of reasons, everyone was up too early and tempers were short. Nerves are the culprit for everyone, I think; it's a new year full of new possibilities for all of them, but there is no doubt that there is fear and uncertainty involved with anything new. I have high hopes for all three of the older kids this year, and more importantly, they seem to have high hopes as well. For this moment, though, I will simply be grateful if none of the three end up in tears at any time this first day; that will mean it was a successful first day.
As for me, well. Life goes on. I am interviewing for a second job later this week, so we'll see how that goes. I slept on the couch last night, which in part is why I am starting this week off less rested that usual; Steve and I have some pretty big things to work through, and while I think this is normal relationship stuff, that doesn't make it any easier. I am also taking my dog in to be put down, my hopes of being able to give her a peaceful death in the comfort of home no longer practical or, honestly, fair to her. We went to Costco yesterday and found out they are no longer carrying my kind of coffee (Columbian, in case anyone is interested), so I had to choose from New Guinea coffee and Guatemalan coffee. I picked the Guatemalan as it is closer to Columbia plus is grown and roasted by small farmers, but really, I liked my Columbian coffee just fine. A minor thing, sure, but still, I love my coffee.
At this point, I know nothing and am trying to accept not knowing. I got up this morning, which is no small thing, and I imagine I will keep just getting up in the morning and doing what is in front of me. That is all I know how to do at this point, really, and I have to believe that it will be enough, and that I will soon know the direction in which I need to turn.
So. I am around again, for whatever that is worth. Life does go on, right?
Not knowing is a hard thing for me to accept too. But you're right, life goes on.
.-= Cat´s last blog ..Good Articles =-.
Not to steal April's line, but… I love you!
Yeah, Kori's back. I've been stalking you on this really slow day at work and was glad to see a new post FINALLY up.
Yes, life does go on. But I have to say, coffee is an important part of that "going on"!!
I'm so sorry to hear it's time to say good-bye to your dog. There is nothing easy about that. And by taking her in to be put down, you ARE giving her a dignified ending — don't let it eat at you too much. I hope it is as peaceful as possible. And then, let the tears flow b/c that's normal.
I think just about every family has tears on the first day of school — parents included — sometimes happy and sometimes sad.
good luck with latest endevor and I so understand with starting the day right.
.-= julie´s last blog ..Back to School =-.
Oh sweetie. You can't catch a break. And when those times are upon us, you're right- all you can do is get up and deal with it all.
But dammit, coffee! You have to have the coffee you love. That one small thing can make so much difference. And you- you deserve it. And so much more.
.-= Ms. Moon´s last blog ..Can't Complain =-.
I am really glad that you are back. I am rooting for you!

Julie or anyone can steal my line 🙂 You deserve to have all kinds of love!
OK, I'm pissed that YOU'RE the one who slept on the couch. There, I said it.
I neglected to mention in my email how sorry I am about your dog.
And, as always, I love you.
I am also pissed that you slept on the couch.
.-= Julie´s last blog ..Too busy =-.
Sending you love…because I can! Please know I am thinking about you!
.-= Ronda's Rants´s last blog ..Tangling with Tyrants =-.
I hope the kiddos have a wonderful first day! Good luck with your interview!
Big ((Hugs)). That is all.
AAAAALLLRIGHT! I simply cannot stand by and do NOTHING while you are forced to get on without the proper coffee! NOBODY, (outside of prison), should have to drink the "wrong" coffee! Have you tried looking on line for the Costco Colombian coffee? I know Sam's Club has some of the things that they used to offer in the stores still on line and you can order it. They just mail it to you.
@Krissa, I followed your advice and checked online at costco and alas, no Columbian coffee…and this other isn't SO bad, I could get used to it, but damn, SO not the same!
I'd be rights bitchy without my Columbian brew for sure – it's the only coffee I drink!
Not knowing anything is the way to go sometimes. One foot in front of the other; autopilot – just embrace it for now – it can be comforting for awhile. Routine with the kids is also really good.
I'm happy to see you writing your blog though – it's a creative release you need and will continue to need as well as a support system that will be your cheerleaders as you get to a place where you can switch the autopilot off eventually.
I am so sorry to hear about your dog. Don't feel as if you can't grieve for this loss because you have so many other things and people to tend to.


There's a place nobody's asking about that's calling LeBron James' name.
Washington, not Los Angeles, is the most powerful city in the world. Washington, not Houston, is where every significant issue relating to sports, from steroids to chronic traumatic encephalopathy to gambling to paying college athletes, has been and will be addressed on Capitol Hill. Washington, not Philly, is where you apply to the National Park Service to convene a rally to call national attention to gun control, women's rights or Black Lives Matter.
Dwyane Wade told Fox Sports Radio the other day that he doesn't believe his dear friend LeBron is making a decision driven exclusively by basketball, that family and lifestyle considerations will matter. Wade added that "basketballwise, he can bring along whoever," and ain't that the truth, as we just saw from LeBron getting that entirely ordinary group to the NBA Finals. Wade cautioned that he didn't have any inside information, but of course simply knowing LeBron as well and as long as he has is inside information enough. And Wade's words ought to serve as insightful.
LeBron, first gently and now confidently, is becoming a national power broker, a champion of social justice and the issues related to its pursuit. This search, even more than his last two free agencies, is about more than winning and money; there's an intellectual growth and personal conviction that has led to a real sense of his off-court influence and how that can move the culture. No, he's not going to shut up and dribble.
And Washington, D.C., is where he can all at once pursue his championships, earn his hundreds of millions and make a glorious noise of protest, agitation or advocacy.
Of all the places Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire philanthropist and entrepreneur and one of the richest women in the world, could have invested her considerable resources, she only a few months ago bought a significant stake in what sports enterprise? Monumental Sports and Entertainment, the parent company of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards.
Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, could have set up camp anywhere but chose the nation's capital, specifically The Washington Post, and is renovating the largest home in D.C., where his neighbors include the Obamas. Amazon's HQ2 may not be far behind. Bezos isn't bringing fascinating people to interact and engage, with all due respect, to Cleveland; he's bringing them to Washington.
LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers handles the ball against John Wall of the Washington Wizards on Dec. 17, 2017, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Jobs and Bezos, in a great tradition, came to Washington to expand their power bases. So did Kevin Plank, Under Armour's founder and CEO. Most of the Fortune 500 companies and every country in the world have a presence in D.C., not San Antonio or New Orleans. LeBron would be in fabulous company.
Oh, do we need to talk about the basketball portion of this equation for a moment?
OK, here's how it would work. Since the Wizards don't have the salary cap room to simply recruit and sign LeBron, he'd have to opt in on the final year of his current deal and do so with the stipulation that the Cavaliers trade him to the Wizards. (After a one-year contract, his next deal would convey his Bird rights to the Wizards.) The Wizards would have to give up Otto Porter, Kelly Oubre and at least one first-round pick and perhaps have to manipulate the roster like the club has never done before. LeBron would surely want to play with John Wall and Bradley Beal, which would give the team today's requisite three stars, not to mention veterans much more battle-scarred than, say, the young Los Angeles Lakers, who have yet to be humbled by the NBA playoffs — also requisite for this sport. The Wizards would hope to keep Markieff Morris and attract veterans who'll give up millions (in the mold of Golden State Warriors reserves David West and Shaun Livingston) to play with LeBron on a team looking eye-to-eye with the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. LeBron would have a lot more to work with on the court than Michael Jordan when he found Washington irresistible nearly 20 years ago. What a wonderful chance for Washington's basketball franchise to get it right this time. Just as LeBron once needed Wade to show him how to close on a championship, LeBron could now similarly show Wall and Beal.
So what if the Wizards have to get creative and color outside the lines a bit? Ted Leonsis, now more than any time in his life, should feel emboldened to take risks and think big in the context of pursuing a championship with the Wizards. Leonsis, his Capitals having won the Stanley Cup, now knows what it feels like to be a champion. No price is too great when history remembers you as a champion. And even though Leonsis would have to be willing to pay a tax, literally, if he committed to a team featuring LeBron, the best player on the planet ultimately pays for himself. Did you see the story the other day that the Warriors grossed roughly $130 million in their 11 home postseason games? Go to at least the conference finals three or four times and we're talking grossing a half-billion dollars from the playoffs alone. The club's ticket sales and sponsorships (which league sources say are OK but far from great) would be solidified for years.
D.C. is a mere one-hour flight from Cleveland/Akron, Ohio, so about four hours closer to his hometown than Los Angeles. A man with his conscience doesn't confine his battles to athletic competition. There are plenty to fight in the nation's capital. If LeBron (bless his heart) wants to take on Donald Trump and appeal to his own constituency, his own base, then why not get right in his space and do it here, wage the battle from the front lines instead of 2,500 miles away? The horizon has widened for an athlete/businessman/athlete, and the potential for LeBron the Influencer is limitless.
What LeBron James has done since the age of 18, even with 21st-century scrutiny and unrelenting pressure, is create a remarkable profile, his athletic agenda pursuable wherever he goes, but his sense of activism is still developing and evolving, in need of platform, a grand and international stage that only one city in America can provide.

Q: How to turn a script into a function I have a script that I wrote earlier and am now trying to create a main page to run this script and others. I understand I have to turn this into a function then call it when nesicary but I am having some trouble in the function portion. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. Below is the script I am referencing.
#A Python math script
a = float(raw_input("Enter the first number: "))
b = float(raw_input("Enter the second number: "))

print "Your answer is: ",(a*b)

A: If all you need is to make this code into a script then save this into a file say multiply.py
In this file you would have for example:
def main():
    a = float(raw_input("Enter the first number: "))
    b = float(raw_input("Enter the second number: "))

    print "Your answer is: ",(a*b)

main()

then you can call this by: python multiply.py
You can also make this into an importable module by including this line which checks whether or not this module is executing as a main program or not. And therefore it will not run if its imported by another module.
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

A: What do you want the function to do? If you want it to still take input and output from the prompt, you can just do
def myfunc():
    a = float(raw_input("Enter the first number: "))
    b = float(raw_input("Enter the second number: "))

    print "Your answer is: ",(a*b)

A: It looks to me like you want to be able to make results of your functions available through a webbrowser, and probably send queries in the same fashion.
If that's the case, you can start here.

A: if for some unknown reason you can't rewrite it as a function as shown by others you could do
A Python math script
#script.py
a = float(raw_input("Enter the first number: "))
b = float(raw_input("Enter the second number: "))

print "Your answer is: ",(a*b)

Another script
def func():

    execfile("script.py")

Asked and Answered: Game Day Week 4
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Steelers will be wearing their white jerseys today for the game against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
TIM WHEELER FROM MELTON MOWBRAY, UK:
Given that Le'Veon Bell is shaking off rustiness from a lack of practice and preseason, which is evident in his performances to date, why would the Steelers give him Wednesday's practice off?
ANSWER: The rhythm you are describing has to happen over time. It's not something that can be fast-tracked, and whether a player has taken part in training camp and the preseason or not, there is an amount of body maintenance that has to take place during the long grind of an NFL season. An NFL running back takes an incredible beating over the course of a regular season game – Jerome Bettis once described each carry as the equivalent of being involved in a car wreck – and so the idea behind Wednesday off is to give Bell's body a little more time to heal. This is going to be a long season, and the Steelers are going to depend on Bell more and more as the season wears on and the running game finds its rhythm. This is likely one of the things Coach Mike Tomlin meant when he mentioned that there would be consequences for Bell's absence, but what the Steelers are trying to avoid is having the worst consequence – Bell sustaining a soft-tissue injury, the kind of injuries that often occur when the muscles become overly fatigued. Rather than rush the process, the Steelers would rather bring Bell along in a way to have him for the long haul. After all, they're paying him $12.1 million for the season whether he's healthy or injured.
GEORGE CHOPYAK FROM BUCKHANNON, WV:
Regarding the infamous kick-block-run-fumble-penalty play at the end of the first half in Chicago, if the Steelers had landed on the ball instead of swiping it out of the end zone, would it be considered a safety or a touchback? Respect and possibly a free meal are riding on your answer.
ANSWER: A touchback. The reason it's a touchback is that when the play started with the Steelers attempting a field goal, they were considered to be on offense. Once the kick was blocked and possession was gained by the Bears, the Steelers then were considered to be on defense. Therefore, had the Steelers recovered the ball in the end zone, it would have been a touchback. And remember, it's not officially dinner until you order dessert.
JAMES BARR FROM ERIE, PA:
I am a little confused by the rule of illegal touching of the ball after the Bears player ran the blocked field goal attempt back and fell asleep at the 1-yard line. If the ball cannot be fumbled forward, then why was a penalty called against the Steelers? If the Bears would have recovered the ball in the end zone it would not have been a touchdown. So why the penalty?
ANSWER: It would have been a touchdown for the Bears if it was the guy who fumbled the ball was the guy who then recovered the fumble in the end zone. And the penalty was for illegally batting the ball out of the end zone, which Jordan Berry clearly did.
PHOTOS: Steelers travel to Baltimore
The Steelers head to Baltimore for a Week 4 matchup against the Ravens.
HOWARD ASHCRAFT FROM LANSING, MI:
Is there a chance that the Steelers would consider holding some offseason practices in other states like some teams do?
ANSWER: If you're talking about a joint practice with another NFL team during the training camp period at that team's site, then yes, that is a possibility. If you're talking about a situation where the Steelers would hold their training camp somewhere other than Saint Vincent College, I would say no to that.
TIM KING FROM WILLOW GROVE, PA:
If Sean Davis and Mike Mitchell both cannot play today against the Ravens, where will J.J. Wilcox play? Strong safety or free safety?
ANSWER: The two backup safeties are J.J. Wilcox and Robert Golden. I would guess that Golden would be the strong safety and Wilcox would be the free safety.
STEVE MILLER FROM COPPELL, TX:
Are you really blaming the officiating as being incompetent as a reason we lose too many games to teams we shouldn't? There are way too many losses that follow a similar pattern of underperformance. The most recent game against the Bears was on the players and coaches, for lack of a solid game plan, preparation and execution. Quit cuddling up to this team and call it as it needs to be said. "Awful day at the office."
ANSWER: What in the wide, wide world of sports are you talking about? There were three submissions in the Sept. 28 edition of Asked and Answered that asked specific questions about the holding calls missed by the officials.
Joey Otero wrote, "On the two big running plays the Bears had during overtime there seemed to be two major holding calls missed. During overtime or potential game winning drives do the officials tend to let certain penalties slide if in their opinion it did not directly impact the play in order to keep the game moving?"
Mark Mendez wrote, "Did I miss it or not, on the long run by Chicago in overtime was there not a holding penalty missed that would have placed the ball on the 17-yard line?"
Steve Meredith wrote, "How is it possible to miss the offensive holding on the last play of the Bears game? It was abysmal. It's a scoring play that they review to see if the player gets into the end zone. Why don't they also review it do determine if they got in legally, especially if the penalty in question directly affects the result of the play?"
I never blamed the officiating for the Steelers loss. I simply labeled the officiating "awful," which it was in the instances that were cited in those questions.
KEN WALDROP FROM ONTONAGON, MI:
Do you think the anthem issues are taking away from some seriously horrific officiating?
ANSWER: If I answer this, Steve Miller from Coppell, Texas, will accuse me of "cuddling," which by the way is something I only do with my wife. Sorry, Ken.
RAY GRAY FROM VERMILION, OH:
When is the NFL going to fine or fire officials for missing and making bad calls too many times. Why are they allowed to control the outcome of a game?
ANSWER: Hey, Steve, you have anything for Ray?
DENNIS KREGEL FROM STERLING, VA:
This might be a silly question, but is there a size restriction either too large, or on the other hand too small, if for nothing more than player safety?
ANSWER: If you're talking about players' size, no. If you're talking about egos, in some instances there should be.
KENNETH ADAMS FROM MEMPHIS, TN:
With all the flags being thrown so early in the year for taunting, shouldn't that have been taunting since the guy stopped 1 yard short of the goal line to profile?
ANSWER: Did he stop short of the goal line to profile, or was he just exhausted?

Duplin County DWI Lawyer | Hunter & Price, P.A.
Driving while impaired or intoxicated (DWI) in North Carolina is a criminal offense that can have a wide range of negative effects if not handled in the proper manner. If you are convicted of DWI, you can have your freedom taken away, your privilege to drive revoked, and your reputation severely damaged.
As the driver of a motor vehicle, you have a responsibility to protect the lives around you to the best of your ability. State and federal laws treat the crime of drinking and driving as a serious offense, therefore, you will not likely be let off easily. You should consider hiring an educated Duplin County lawyer from our firm for the assistance you deserve.
How can I be charged with DWI?
You can be charged with DWI through various methods. Field sobriety tests are often the initial assessment issued by officers who suspect you of driving while impaired. You may be asked to complete a set of field sobriety tests performed on the side of the road after being pulled over.
Your performance on these tests will determine whether the officer will arrest you for drinking and driving. Although various tests may be issued, they are conducted with the same purpose, which is to determine whether you exemplify signs of intoxication. Some drivers who fail these tests are not impaired, which is why is why it may be in your best interest to politely refuse such tests.
Chemical tests are the other category of tests that can be administered in North Carolina for the purpose of assessing your level of intoxication. Breathalyzer and blood tests assess your blood alcohol content (BAC) level to determine whether you are drunk driving. BAC levels of 0.08% or higher for drivers are considered against the law.
The Intoxilyzer 5000 and the EC / IR II are the two breathalyzer machines which can be administered in the state of North Carolina. Blood tests can also be given to assess the driver's BAC level. Chemical tests are known to produce inaccurate results, which is why a Kenansville attorney should be an active member of your case. Refusal to submit to a breathalyzer will result in an immediate license suspension and charge of a DWI.
For more useful information about DWI, please view our DWI brochure!
Since December 1, 2011, North Carolina laws have classified DWI sentences into six levels. Level 5 is the least severe, which can result in between 24 hours and 60 days in jail, an immediate license suspension, and up to a $200 fine. Level 1 was previously the most severe DWI offense, which can result in a $4,000 fine, a license suspension for 30 days, and between 30 days and 24 months in jail.
With the addition of a sixth level, Aggravated Level 1, sentences have become more severe. For an Aggravated Level 1 DWI offense, you can be penalized with a fine of up to $10,000, between 12 and 36 months in jail, and monitored for abstaining from alcohol for 4 months after being released. For all the above sentences, a substance abuse assessment and compliance with any recommended treatment is also required.
Commercial drivers will likely face increased DWI penalties than drivers with regular driver licenses. Underage drivers will lose their license for 30 days before trial and then another year after the trial. Drivers under the age of 21 can be charged with any amount of alcohol within their system. DWI can also refer to individuals who are driving while under the influence of drugs.
When found driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, your penalties will be increased. If you have been charged with DWI, keep in mind the penalties associated with the hidden costs of DWI. You will be required to pay court fees and license reinstatement fees that you may not initially contribute to DWI. At Hunter & Price, P.A., we can help you gain a better understanding of your case.
Contact us today for the protection you need against these harsh penalties!

SAC Spring 2010 Film Series presents: Amar Akbar Anthony
January 21, 2010, 6 p.m.-6 p.m. EST
107 Hall of Languages
SAC Spring 2010 Film Series presents: Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) Directed by Eran Riklis, 106 minutes An ex-convict must flee his mob boss, leaving his family to fend for themselves. His wife goes blind and his children are abandoned. They are adopted by a Hindu policeman, a Muslim tailor, and a Catholic priest. The Hindu-raised son becomes a policeman in his turn; his Muslim-raised brother becomes a singer; and the last son, played by Amitabh, becomes a happy-go-lucky Catholic who lives on the edge of the law. The boys meet again and their lives become entangled in an incredible plot full of unlikely coincidences and furious action sequences interspersed with songs. (from: http://www.imdb.com)


Once again Ken Loach has directed a gripping drama that expresses his anger at the social conditions in United Kingdom today. It is a slice of life. When I watched it, I felt closer to reality than fiction, which is as much thanks to the nuanced performances of the actors as to Loach's direction. The film is not just indignant social realism. There is room for humour as well, at least to begin with.
Peter Mullan who plays Joe was awarded a prize for best actor at the Cannes festival in 1998. Joe lives in the slums of Glasgow and he is out of work, but being an ex-alcoholic who hasn't touched the bottle for nine months, he feels on top of things. When he meets and falls in love with Sarah, a health visitor, the sun shines even brighter, but his happiness is frail. When Liam, a young father and husband, is in desperate need for help, Joe tries to give him that help even though it endangers his own happiness.

I recently met up with the CEO of finance software maker Microgen. One of the things we talked about was outsourcing. Microgen does a lot of its development work in Poland. The story behind this is a great one.
Neil Thompson, CTO of Microgen, discusses how, following the advice of his father who was injured in WWII in Poland, he came to launch a software development centre in Poland.
By Neil Thompson
"I started a software company in Poland because my father was injured in the war. He spent six months in a hospital bed next to a polish sailor who didn't speak English so, to avoid dying of boredom while his leg healed, he learnt Polish. He was told by the sailor that Polish people were good technically and had a strong work ethic.
In 1992, I was trying to start my second software company and could not afford English programmer's rates. On my father's advice, I went to Wroclaw, Poland, where they had a huge technical university as well as eight other universities in the same city. I found two graduates who helped me to recruit nine programmers and we started on our first contract writing a sales management system for ICL. It was successful and we prospered although it was initially a hand to mouth existence. I spent half my time in Poland and the rest, working as a salesman or doing consultancy work in Abu Dhabi to help pay the wage bills.
I was then approached by a salesman and an accountant whom I knew from a previous life and who believed there was an opening in investment banks for a 'Rules Engine' which could be used by business professionals to develop and control business logic. I developed a prototype in Poland and together we started a London based company to sell and market the product; OST Business Rules. UBS in London was our first customer. The product was a success so we went on to sell it to a number of investment banks with all the development work being carried out in Poland.
In 2002, Microgen plc acquired our business, despite my expectation to either leave or be resigned from the company, due to always having been an entrepreneur, the company allowed me to continue to run the software house in Poland. Supported by Microgen, we re-wrote the Rules Engine to use "In Memory" processing to achieve unrivalled levels of performance. The product Microgen Aptitude was launched in 2007. While 'In Memory' processing is now in vogue, back in 2002, it was a novel architecture and enabled Microgen to realise great success in the market.
We celebrated out 20th Anniversary last year and Microgen Poland has grown to almost 100 staff. We have produced Microgen Aptitude and the Microgen Accounting Hub products, both of which have been adopted widely are used in some of the largest financial services, telecommunications and digital media companies amongst others.
Over the last 20 years, the Polish staff have proven to be consistently loyal and innovative and we have a stable team of clever people who other companies envy and regularly try to steal. With hindsight, the choice of Wroclaw seems prescient as it has become an important technical centre with IBM, Google, Microsoft, Credit Suisse, Philips and many other Western companies since opening offices in the area – in fact, it was all due to a war injury that happened in 1943!"
