50 promising young athletes recognised and funded by GO GOLD
Posted: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:13
50 promising young athletes from 14 sports from Judo through to Sailing, have been successful in receiving grants as part of our GO GOLD Funding Programme 2018/19.
The aim of GO GOLD is to support local talented athletes who are being recognised by their National Governing Bodies of Sport as being our future Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games participants.
The athletes were presented with their grants by the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council Janice Richards, at County Hall on Thursday 19th April. The grants aim to provide valuable financial support towards kit, equipment, travel and accommodation for competitions and tournaments.
Funding ranges from £250-£1,000, and Podium level funding is provided by Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council and Rutland County Council to those athletes who are competing at Regional (East Midlands), National or International Level in an Olympic, Paralympic or Commonwealth discipline.
Athletes have been successful from 8 districts across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland. All Podium level athletes will also receive free Leisure passes to their local Leisure Centre, to support their training programme.
Blaby - 7 athletes supported
Charnwood - 12 athletes supported
Harborough - 8 athletes supported
Hinckley and Bosworth - 4 athletes supported
Leicester City - 7 athletes supported
North West Leicestershire - 5 athletes supported
Oadby and Wigston - 3 athletes supported
Rutland - 4 athletes supported
Harrison Gamble from the recently crowned Basketball League Champions Leicester Riders, congratulated the athletes and spoke through his experiences in sport: "I was told by my first coach I would never make it as a pro; so, keep working hard, listen to your parents and try and talk to as many athletes in your sport as you can".
GO GOLD Ambassador Harriet West from North West Leicestershire, who has now secured her second year of GO GOLD funding and represented her nation at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, said: "Swimming is quite an expensive sport, so the money helps with hotels, travel and the equipment we use. The funding from GO GOLD really does go a long way. Now I'm going to keep going to see where I can get to".
Athletics star and GO GOLD Ambassador, Amy Griffiths from Oadby & Wigston also spoke of her gratitude for the funding opportunity: "It's just a great source of funding and it helps me in athletics so much. It's going to help me a tremendous amount, so I can go away and train in places and compete in races to help with my qualifying times, and race against the best girls in the country and in the world. It also means I can pay for things that I need like physio and equipment, helping me become the best I can be".
The Chairman Trophy Award for the most improved athlete was awarded to hurdler, Victoria Johnson from Charnwood, and humoured the audience with a modest speech:"I do things like slow drills, train and getting the technique right… that's it really". Compere for the evening, Gaynor Nash, reiterated how athletes who won this award, "have gone onto competing in the Olympic games, representing their county or turned professional".
All the GO GOLD athletes will be blogging throughout the year on their competition and training progress – visit www.lrsport.org/blogs to read the latest Blogs.

This volume presents fifteen chapters of biography of African American and black champions and challengers of the early prize ring. They range from Tom Molineaux, a slave who won freedom and fame in the ring in the early 1800s; to Joe Gans, the first African American world champion; to the flamboyant Jack Johnson, deemed such a threat to white society that film of his defeat of former champion and "Great White Hope" Jim Jeffries was banned across much of the country. Photographs, period drawings, cartoons, and fight posters enhance the biographies. Round-by-round coverage of select historic fights is included, as is a foreword by Hall-of-Fame boxing announcer Al Bernstein.
In Boxing: A Concise History of the Sweet Science, Gerald R. Gems provides a succinct yet comprehensive coverage of the sport, recounting boxing's ancient roots, evolution, and globalization. Throughout, Gems describes important events and individuals, illuminating their impact on the boxing world. Presented in a clear and readable manner, Gems not only includes a historical account of boxing, but also explores such issues as race, religion, rivalries, and the growth of female boxing. While the primary coverage of the book focuses on the United States, Gems' examination encompasses the sport around the world as well. Featuring numerous photographs, Boxing: A Concise History of the Sweet Science will be of interest to boxing fans, historians, scholars, and those wanting to learn more about the sport.
Offers accessible and informative essays about the social impact and historical importance of boxing around the globe.
The Historical Dictionary of Boxing focuses on the as champions of boxing along with the lesser-known boxers who helped shape this sport. More of these boxers come from the United States but there are others from Europe, Asia and Latin America, and there are also entries on the major boxing countries as well. Plus entries on the rules, on the organizations, and on the technical terminology and jargon you have to know just to follow the bouts. The introduction provides a broad view of boxing's history while the chronology traces events from 688 B.C. to 2012 A.D. Not all that much has been written on boxing that is not ephemeral, but much of that literature can be found in the bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the sport of boxing.
Some 10,000 historical figures are covered in this 1 volume alphabetically organized directory. Each entry provides the basic information: name (& variants), dates & places of birth & death, nationality, area of endeavor (category), & significance. Prompted by the need of Salem's own editors for an authoritative database of dates & names, they have created this easy-to-use, fully cross-referenced directory.

Comedy actor Brendan Grace dead at 68
File photo of Brendan Grace Photograph:( Reuters )
WION Web Team New Delhi, Delhi, India Jul 11, 2019, 05.26 PM (IST)
Irish actor Brendan Grace, best known as Father Fintan Stack in the hit sitcom and schoolboy character Bottler died at the age of 68. He was battling lung cancer.
Reports suggest that Brendan was taken to a hospital in Ireland for treatment where he is said to have died "peacefully" in the early hours of the morning.
Just last week, Brendan was forced to cancel his scheduled summer tour of Ireland and the UK after being diagnosed with the life-threatening illness. He had earlier lost two toes to gangrene after being diagnosed with diabetes and suffered a stroke last year – but continued performing comedy live.
Professionally, Brendan was a famous comedian and enjoyed an illustrious career spanning over 40 years.
He was also a professional singer and in 1975 recorded the original version of 'Combine Harvester', which The Wurzels covered a year later. It went to number one in Ireland.
Brendan enjoyed an illustrious career spanning over 40 years.

What Is Sdi In Video Camera?
October 28, 2022 by Jerome Mckenzie
A serial digital interface is a type of cable that can deliver high quality broadcasts. In TV production, live streams, and the like,SDI cameras serve as video sources that give inputs to video switchers and production systems.
Is SDI or HDMI better?
What is SDI input used for?
What is SDI for video?
Is SD the same as SDI?
Is SDI obsolete?
Does SDI send audio?
What is SDI and how would it work?
Can you convert HDMI to SDI?
What resolution is SDI?
What is an acceptable SDI?
What should target SDI?
Does SDI have latency?
Does SDI carry audio?
If you want to connect to monitors or TVs, you should use HDMI. If you need a more secure connection between your camera and your switcher or encoder, you'll want to use SDI. It's possible for your camera to fall or be pulled out if it's not locked on.
Different pieces of equipment can be connected with the help of SDI. The specification varies in length from 300 meters to 980 feet.
Digital video and audio can be transmitted over fiber or coaxial cable. For the latest standard released in 2015, speeds range from 270 megabits per second to 12 gigabits per second.
Short version is the resolution of the video signal and long version is the digital video connection. It looks like a solid solution, even if you never used it yourself.

Due to product obsolescence and discontinued support, the SDI intellectual property core will be scheduled for obsolescence. The use of this intellectual property in new designs is not recommended by Intel. Intel's Intellectual Property website has more information about Intel's current offerings.
Video, audio, and timecode are all included in a single cable. Live production, post and broadcast can be done with SDI.
The Employment Development Department administers State Disability Insurance in California. When workers can't perform their regular or customary work due to physical and mental injuries, illnesses, and other health conditions, they can get partial wage replacement from SDI.
There are features that include support for time code conversion. Time code is supported in both standard definition and high definition video formats. If you have a HDMI device that supports timecode, you can convert it toSDI and use it in larger broadcast systems.
The first version of the standard was called theSD-SDI. It supports resolutions up to 576i (NTSC and PAL compatible at 25 frames per second) and four different bitrates: 270 Mbit/s, 360 Mbit/s, 143 Mbit/s, and 177 Mbit/s.
An SDI of zero indicates perfect comparison with the peer group, an SDI of 2.0 is acceptable and an SDI of > 2.0 is not.
The consensus group mean is the same as the laboratory mean, so there is no difference. There is a possibility of a problem with the test. The bias is expressed as the standard deviation is increased or decreased.

When it comes to progressive formats, our systems' lag is between 2 and 2.5 frames per second. There is a minimum of 3 to 3.5 frames per second for interlaced formats.
Video, audio, and timecode are all in one cable. Live production, post and broadcast can be done with SDI. You can use the same physical single cable connection to switch between formats and frames.
There are features that include support for timecode conversions. Time code is supported in both standard definition and high definition video formats. If you have a HDMI device that supports timecode, you can convert it toSDI and use it in larger broadcast systems.

Q: Compiler Error when Interface within Inner Class I want to declare an interface inside an inner class, which shows compiler error message "inner classes cannot have static declarations".
public class Apple {
    //...

    public class InnerApple{
    //...

        public interface InnerInterface{
            //Error: inner classes cannot have static declarations
        }
    }
}

Does it mean interface is actually static in Java?
I'm using Java 1.7. Thanks!!

A: An interface is always static - in a sense that there cannot be any dependency to another instance.
Having two levels of inner declarations is quite uncommon, but if it is intended I would expect that at least InnerApple is static:
public class Apple {
  public static class InnerApple{

    public interface InnerInterface{
        //this does not cause an error
    }
  }
}

In most cases the keyword static of inner classes is omitted. If so this class may contain dependencies to a surrounding instance (and not only to the class as static inner classes do).

A: Yes, member interfaces are implicitly static.  Section 8.5.1 of the JLS states:

A member interface is implicitly static (§9.1.1).

For it not to be static, the interface must be top-level, with no enclosing class or interface.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is a no-nonsense guy who doesn't look for a lot of excuses when it comes to winning and losing. It shouldn't be surprising, then, that Zimmer — when asked Wednesday at the Senior Bowl about the ball deflation controversy that has emerged in the wake of the Patriots' AFC title game thrashing of the Colts — wasn't buying it.
Well, 45-7, but point taken. That said, the Vikings were EMBROILED IN CONTROVERSY over a somewhat similar ball situation earlier this season (and by that we mean it passed with barely a whimper aside from a warning and reminder from the league), when sideline attendants were shown heating footballs against league rules during Minnesota's freezing 31-13 win over the Panthers.


I purchased the Lee Big Stopper filter the other day and today was a perfect day to test it. Very windy, with clouds scuttling overhead. The above shot is one of the Henry Moore pieces that sits within the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I also took some of "Old Flo" (Moore's Draped Seated Woman) as it's currently the subject of a row about a proposed sale so I'm not sure how long it will stay within the park.


Excuses are for losers. You're a runner. Who do you blame when you don't make the cutoff time or DNF a race? Your mom? Your shoes? No. You blame yourself. Runners know who is in charge of their lives and owns their successes and failures. They do. Unlike a lot of people we see in the media right now, at least we runners can feel proud in the fact that we don't blame others when things aren't going our way.

Q: Ponderate two gaussian mixture I have 2 independent random variables $X$ and $Y$ with gaussian mixture distribution like:
$$f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{m} \phi_{X,i} \mathcal{N}(\mu_{X,i} , \sigma_{X,i}^{2})$$
$$f(y) = \sum_{i=1}^{m} \phi_{Y,i} \mathcal{N}(\mu_{Y,i} , \sigma_{Y,i}^{2})$$
With $\sum_{i=1}^{m}\phi_{X,i} =\sum_{i=1}^{m}\phi_{Y,i} =1$.
If I want to ponderate these 2 random variables like: $Z=\alpha\cdot X + (1-\alpha)Y$ with $\alpha\in (0,1)$, I could say that $f(z)=\sum_{i=1}^{m} \phi_{Z,i} \mathcal{N}(\mu_{Z,i} , \sigma_{Z,i}^{2})$?? If I could, so how I can find a relation between the parameters like:
$$\phi_{Z,i} = \phi_{Z,i}(\alpha,\phi_{X,i},\phi_{Y,i}) $$
$$\mu_{Z,i} = \mu_{Z,i}(\alpha,\mu_{X,i},\mu_{Y,i}) $$
$$\sigma_{Z,i}^{2} = \sigma_{Z,i}^{2}(\alpha,\sigma_{X,i}^{2},\sigma_{Y,i}^{2}) $$
for $i=1,...,m$. If I have another gaussian mixture $W$, I could extend this with $Z=\alpha_1 X + \alpha_2 Y + \alpha_3 W$ and $\sum_{j} \alpha_j =1$, $\alpha_j \in (0,1)$??

A: Let $X_i \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu_{X,i}, \sigma_{X,i})$ and $Y_j \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu_{Y,j}, \sigma_{Y,j})$, where $i=1...m$ and $j=1...n$. Then variables $X$ and $Y$ can be expressed as
\begin{equation}
X = \sum_{i=1}^m \phi_{X,i} X_i,
Y = \sum_{j=1}^n \phi_{Y,j} Y_j,
\end{equation}
whereas their sum is
\begin{equation}
Z = \alpha X + (1-\alpha)Y =
\sum_{i=1}^m \alpha\phi_{X,i} X_i + \sum_{j=1}^n (1-\alpha)\phi_{Y,j} Y_j,
\end{equation}
and is distributed as a mixture of $m+n$ normal distributions:
\begin{equation}
f(z) =
\sum_{i=1}^m \alpha\phi_{X,i} \mathcal{N}(\mu_{X,i}, \sigma_{X,i}) + \sum_{j=1}^n (1-\alpha)\phi_{Y,j} \mathcal{N}(\mu_{Y,j}, \sigma_{Y,j}) =
\sum_{k=1}^{m+n} \phi_{Z,k} \mathcal{N}(\mu_{Z,k}, \sigma_{Z,k}),
\end{equation}
with the obvious re-definitions of the coefficients and the parameters.


A Justice of the Peace for Swisher County hears small claims court cases for Swisher County.
The plaintiff's demand for money cannot exceed $10,000. (Texas Government Code 28.093). Additionally, a small claims court plaintiff can only ask the court for monetary relief. You cannot seek injunctive relief. Say your landscaper breaks a sprinkler head. You can ask the court for money to replace the sprinkler head, but you cannot ask the court for an order requiring the landscaper to physically replace the sprinkler head. You could only ask the court for an award of money.
The clerk at the courthouse can be an excellent resource for your case. The clerk is knowledgeable at all of the procedures and will be able to inform you of any specific local procedures for Swisher County. We recommend calling the clerk's office to ensure the courthouse is open. Remember, the court clerk is trained to assist with procedural questions, but is not able to give legal advice.
Unlike regular civil trials, small claims court rules do not follow the Rules of Evidence. This allows the trials to be conducted in a much more informal fashion. Furthermore, the judge is allowed and often ask questions of witnesses and parties to help understand the facts of a case. A small claims court trial is much quicker, often lasting between 15-20 minutes. However, if a party wishes for a jury trial, it will likely last a few hours.
A party can appeal a ruling if the amount of the judge's award is in excess of $250.00. Swisher County Small Claims Court cases are heard in 1 courthouses in Swisher County.
The precinct map for Swisher County can be found here.
This courthouse handles cases for Countywide. The court's website can be found here. The phone number for the court is (806)995-4407. And you can email the court by clicking here.

Straight Shooting Saturday: Lady Low - The By Gods.
Lady Low - Burning Like A Fever.
Background - Released in mid October "Burning Like a Fever," is the current single from Hollywood's favourite romance rockers, Lady Low. Described as "where strings and heartstrings collide," Lady Low is a rock sextet comprised of Jimmy Sweet (vocals, guitar), Eden Lee (vocals, drums), Shanel Chavers (vocals, synth), Kaitlin Wolfberg (violin), Corinne Olsen (violin), and Mia Siler (viola). Sweet had always wanted to start a band that combined love's passion and old school rock and roll. After returning to L.A. by way of London, he formed Lady Low.
The fin. - Night Time.
The Deadline Shakes - Sweeten the Deal.
Background - Glasgow's The Deadline Shakes are Greg Dingwall (lead vocals, guitars and keys), Iain McKinstry (guitars and vocals), Martin McLeod (bass), Thomas Booth (drums) and Sam Clark (piano), with Michael Muir (violin) and Kiera Pollock (vocals).
Their debut album 'Zealots', produced by Greg in a tiny room in the east end of Glasgow, is the product of three years of hard work following the band's inception. Greg's songs are often widescreen in scope, but lucidly lovelorn lyrics give the album a relatably human quality. This is an album recorded on a limited budget that sounds like a large scale, big studio production.
Each band member is a multi-instrumentalist who has a passion bordering on compulsion to create, a drive which underpins everything they do. Even the band's unique artwork is designed in-house by bass player Martin. Guitarist Iain has edited their music videos.
Paradise Animals - Monday Morning (from the album Day Bed).
Paradise Animals - Monday Morning.
And the band tell us - Appropriately, we're releasing our new single/video "Monday Morning" today. The single is from our LP "Day Bed" it's our very first full length. The album was recorded and produced by the whole band in both Northern Ontario and Toronto.
Day Bed is the place we go to rest in the daylight. A place where memories wash over us; a place where we pause and think about life. It's a collection of songs that highlights the warmth and happiness of family and childhood, the heartbreak of relationships, and the randomness of social life in the 21st century (album out November 13th).
Venkman - Andrew, You're Horizontal Again.
What's the story - Venkman are Kate, James, Tom, Danny & Dave who create off-kilter funk from their hometown of Lichfield, UK, citing influences as diverse as Influenced by Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Prince and Thomas Dolby.
Having already been featured on 6 Music and BBC Radio in England and Scotland, Venkman were responsible for the most watched BBC Introducing session ever with their cover of Michael Jackson's 'Leave Me Alone'. They were also selected to feature in the Best New Music of 2015 on their local Introducing show.
The band, who have already played with the likes of Carina Round, Outfit, Turbowolf and Coasts, next play live on 11th November with Dutch Uncles at The Hare and Hounds in Birmingham.
The release of their EP 'Kakkorhaphiophobia' follows the success of their debut single 'Martial Law' and epitomises Venkman's quirky brand of melancholic funk with haunting male/female harmonies.

Andrew has always been a secret romantic... not above crooning to Celine Dion while driving to work, with dreams of finding the one. He imagines her to be just like that shimmering beauty he spotted that night in that silver dress at that concert two years ago.
Zelda, having grown up with a hippie mom who believed the universe would provide for everything, rebelled into a no-nonsense practical lawyer who prefers the control of online dating.
But when a computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she's asked to come in for an interview at the Internet dating site where Andrew works, and this is where it all begins.
Andrew and Zelda meet for the first time and despite their differences, sparks fly. She thinks it's chance. He thinks it's fate. After all, he's convinced she's the shimmering girl in the silver dress.
Is it true love forever or just a detour in destiny?

Dordogne: a hunter killed by another hunter during a wild boar hunt
An investigation was opened for "manslaughter on a hunting action".
Posted the 11/28/2021 6:49 PM
Update the 11/28/2021 19:00
A 70-year-old hunter was killed Sunday, November 28 by the shooting of another hunter during a wild boar beat in the Dordogne, reported the Bergerac prosecutor's office. An investigation was opened for "manslaughter on a hunting action", and entrusted to the gendarmerie and the French Biodiversity Office (OFB).
The facts took place around 10 am in the town of Campsegret, about fifteen kilometers north of Bergerac. The victim was "fatally injured" by a shot from another 60-year-old participant, when the latter opened fire "twice in the direction of a boar", detailed the deputy prosecutor of Bergerac.
The author of the shot is in "State of shock" after this drama. He will be auditioned in the coming days by investigators. The trail of the accident is at this stage privileged, according to the prosecution.
Fatal hunting accidents are regularly used by its opponents to demand its ban. At the end of October, the EELV presidential candidate, Yannick Jadot, proposed a ban on hunting during weekends and school holidays. An idea "on which we must have a debate" then estimated the Minister of Ecological Transition, Barbara Pompili.

Amber is back again with "Three Million Year". She is doing a hell of a job promoting her mixtape. Well, this is the fifth music video to come from Rogue Rouge so I will be doing a review snippet instead of a regular full fledged review.
What a cute video. Amber and her friends put together a cheap video about love and the feeling of love. It was a fun video with more done in post production than in the actual filming. I will say I laughed when the camera zoomed in on the guitarist. What a good bunch of friends she has.
I think I say this every time but Amber's voice is so good. She has a beautiful singing voice and I'm glad she's focusing more on that than rapping. The song is a simple, clean guitar song that has a little pop but is mostly calm and laid back.
What did you think of Amber's fifth music video? This video was really cute and reminded me of some videos I've seen before done in this style. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Thank you for your support. Be sure to give Amber some love. Thanks again and I'll see you in my next review.

Q: jQuery textbox on change calculation I've got few check boxes! Everytime the checkboxes is checked it will automatically sum up the total cost:
<input type="checkbox" rel="90" alt="30.00">Pearl or White
<input type="checkbox" rel="120" alt="35.00">Natural

jquery to calculate total price
function onCheck(){
   var t_balance = 0;
   $("input[type=checkbox]:checked").each(function() {
   t_balance += parseFloat($(this).attr("alt")); });
   $("#t_balance").html(t_balance.toFixed(2));
}
function calculateSum() {
var sum = 0;
$(":text").each(function() {
    if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
    sum += parseFloat(this.value);
    }
});
$("#t_balance").html(sum.toFixed(2));
 }
$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function() {onCheck(); });

Now, 1 discount textinput :
<input type="text" id="discount" />

I want the total price deduct the price from discount textinput. The above code basically will replace the total price, from checkboxes to textinput.
$(":text").each(function() {
$(this).keyup(function(){
    calculateSum();
});
});

Full code http://jsfiddle.net/boyee007/jZEUz/:
function onCheck() {

    });
    $("#t_balance").html(t_balance.toFixed(2));
}

function calculateSum() {
    var sum = 0;
    $(":text").each(function() {
        if (!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length != 0) {
            sum += parseFloat(this.value);
        }
    });
    $("#t_balance").html(sum.toFixed(2));
}
$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function() {
    onCheck();
});

$(":text").each(function() {
    $(this).keyup(function() {
        calculateSum();
    });
});

A: function onCheck() {
    var t_balance = 0;
    $("input[type=checkbox]:checked").each(function() {
        t_balance += parseFloat($(this).attr("alt"));
    });
    $("#t_balance").html(t_balance.toFixed(2));
}

function calculateSum() {
    var sum = 0;
    $(":text").each(function() {
        if (!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length != 0) {
            sum += parseFloat(this.value);
        }
    });
    $("#t_balance").html(parseFloat($("#t_balance").text())-sum.toFixed(2));
}
$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function() {
    onCheck();
});

$(":text").each(function() {
    $(this).keyup(function() {
        calculateSum();
    });
});

A: function onCheck() {
    var t_balance = 0;
    $("input[type=checkbox]:checked").each(function() {
        t_balance += parseFloat($(this).attr("alt"));
    });
    $("#t_balance").html(t_balance.toFixed(2));

    calculateSum();
}

function calculateSum() {
    var sum = parseFloat( $("#t_balance").text() );

    $(":text").each(function() {
        if (!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length != 0) {
            sum -= parseFloat(this.value);
        }
    });
    $("#t_balance").html(sum.toFixed(2));
}

$("input[type=checkbox]").change(onCheck);
$(":text").keyup(onCheck);

Call the calculateSum from inside the onCheck to make the discount get calculated always.
Also simplified the way you bind your handlers since you were creating unneeded overhead..
demo at http://jsfiddle.net/gaby/jZEUz/7/

A: if your desired output is 55.00, while user selected both check boxed & type 10 in text box, then change your calculateSum function like this,
function calculateSum() {
    var sum = 0;
    $(":text").each(function() {
        if (!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length != 0) {
            sum += parseFloat(this.value);
        }
    });
    $("#t_balance").html(($("#t_balance").html()-sum).toFixed(2));
}

Fifty-one Lives Saved in Near-Drowning Rescues Water Safety Ireland Honour Remarkable Rescuers
Afloat.ie Team
Fifty-one lives were saved from drowning by rescuers who will receive recognition at Water Safety Ireland's National Annual Awards Ceremony, broadcast online on Tuesday 24th November at 7 pm.
The Minister for Rural & Community Development, Heather Humphreys will acknowledge recipients of the 'Seiko Just in Time Rescue Award' and other rescue awards being presented to 67 rescuers in appreciation for saving 51 lives in 32 incidents.
"It is an honour to pay tribute to these deserving award recipients", commented Minister Humphreys. "Without their bravery, quick thinking and selflessness, the outcomes could have been very different. On average, ten people drown in Ireland every month and while one drowning is one too many, the figure would have been higher but for these courageous rescuers."
"I would also like to commend the efforts of Water Safety Ireland volunteers. The Lifeguard service is also crucial to safety on our waterways and would not be possible without the teaching and assessment conducted by Water Safety Ireland Volunteers nationwide. This summer, Lifeguards rescued 468 people, administered first aid on 3,450 occasions and reunited with loved ones, 251 lost children found wandering unsupervised near water."
Rescue Appreciation Award Recipients
Presented to those who came to the assistance of person(s) in difficulty in water and in danger of drowning.
Sam Rodden and Patrik Orals
Students Sam and Patrik were returning to school when they saw somebody in the river. They ran along the riverbank, throwing a ringbuoy as the current took him away but the person submerged and did not resurface so they got into the river and pulled the unconscious person out. The boys put him in the recovery position and got blankets to keep him warm. He regained consciousness just as the emergency services arrived and he made a full recovery.
Jack was returning to the harbour from a fishing trip. As he passed a lighthouse, he saw a woman in the water. He was wearing a lifejacket so he jumped in and saved her until emergency services arrived.
Niamh McMahon, Lynn McCarthy, Beth Darrer
Niamh was surfing when she saw four friends in danger of drowning. She paddled over and pulled one person onto her board while another held on tightly. Beth and Lynn were walking the shoreline and after getting people to call emergency services, they grabbed a ringbuoy and swam out to help Niamh. Exhausting for everyone but they all got back to shore safely.
Jamie Venner, Cillian Foster, Richard McSweeney, Kate Horgan and Harry Pritchard
These five teenagers were fishing in a Rigid Inflatable Boat when they saw a nine-year-old boy on an inflatable toy being swept out to sea by a strong current, along with the boy's father who was swimming to save him. The boy made it back to shore but the father was left exhausted and clinging to a marker buoy in the strong current. Thankfully, the teenagers were in the right place at the right time to save him.
Conal Dolan
Conal certainly put his training as an Emergency Medical Technician to good use when he saw a woman in danger of drowning. Without hesitation, he got into the water and brought her safely to shore where he checked her vital signs and put her in the recovery position in an effort to drain excess water. She made a full recovery.
Nathan Holding, Cathal Keohane and Connell O Herlihy
A father and son were caught in a very strong rip current but thankfully the three boys were able to use their boards to help. The father had become exhausted fighting the current but after a time the boys broke free of the rip and got safely back to shore.

Most of our new patients have been referred to us by other satisfied patients. While it may be obvious to see the positive changes in their lives and health, it may be difficult to understand the explanation of what they are doing to achieve their health improvement.
Nutrition Response Testing (™) is very precise and scientific. In medical practice there are two key parts: the diagnosis (identifying and/or naming the "disease" or syndrome) and the treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.).
In Nutrition Response Testing (™) we do not diagnose or treat disease - but we also have two parts: the analysis and the personalized health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition).
The analysis is done through testing the body's own neurological reflexes and acupuncture points. The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the functions of each and every organ. The acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is thousands of years old.
Nutrition Response Testing (™)is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each and every organ and function of the body.
Each Nutrition Response Testing (™) reflex represents a specific organ, tissue, or function, and indicates the effect that energy, or the lack of energy, is having on the body. By testing the Nutrition Response Testing (™) reflexes, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit that has proven to be extremely accurate clinically, and that helps us identify exactly what the body needs and how well we are meeting that need.
How do we access the Nutrition Response Testing (™) reflexes in order to get this information?
Here is what we do with Nutrition Response Testing (™). Instead of connecting electrodes to the specific points being tested, the Nutrition Response Testing (™) doctor contacts these points with his/her own hand. With his other hand, he/she will test the muscle of your extended arm. If the reflex being contacted is active, the nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm, and the arm will weaken and drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction, which can be affecting your health.
Because we did a Nutrition Response Testing (™) analysis for him or her, we found the "active" reflexes, and then made specific nutritional recommendations to help the body return to a improved state of health.
We are prepared to do the exact same thing for you now. Isn't that exciting? However, the best is yet to come.
Let's say the liver or kidney reflexes are active. Then what? Our next step is to test specific, time-tested and proven, highest-possible quality nutritional formulas against those weak areas, to find which ones bring the reflexes back to strength.
Our decades of clinical experience tell us that when we have found the correct nutritional supplements, as indicated by this procedure, and when we work out a highly personalized nutritional supplement schedule, we have accomplished the most important first step in correcting the underlying deficiency or imbalance that caused the reflex to be active in the first place. By following the program as precisely as possible, you are well on your way to restoring normal function and improving your health.
In Nutrition Response Testing (™) we use "DESIGNED CLINICAL NUTRITION" to correct the cause of the problem, so that the body can regain the ability to correct itself.
First of all, Designed Clinical Nutrition is not 'over-the-counter' vitamins. Over-the-counter vitamins are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. They are not "whole food," and the body does not actually recognize these as anything even vaguely beneficial (to put it mildly). Please ask about our audiotape: "The Whole Truth About Vitamins," for an entertaining, in-depth explanation of this aspect of vitamins and other nutritional supplements.
Because they are not made from whole foods, "over-the-counter" vitamins lack the essential synergistic elements normally present in WHOLE foods.
So-called "scientific research," done with these shoddy substitutes, repeatedly proves that vitamins don't do much good for anyone! Can you imagine who pays for these "research"?
It is whole food, in a tablet, capsule or powder, concentrated in a vacuum, cold-process system that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components that make it work as the Creator intended. These real food supplements have been designed to match the needs of the body, as determined by the positive response shown when tested against the active Nutrition Response Testing (™) reflexes that were found on your individual Nutrition Response Testing (™) analysis. These are nutrients you are simply not getting, or not assimilating, in your current diet.
One example of a designed clinical nutrition supplement that we use is called Catalyn. This product is produced by starting with a wide variety of carefully chosen organically grown vegetables, taking the water and fiber out using a vacuum, low heat process - without heating or cooking the vegetables, and then utilizing the concentrated food to make a bottle of Standard Process Catalyn Tablets.
1. Standard Process nutrients are derived from plants grown on their own farms, in soil free of pesticides – and no chemicals are ever used. Ph.D.'s check the soil before the seeds are sown, to make sure of the fertility of the soil – and even the weeding is done by hand.
2. The machinery involved in the processing of these products is made of glass and stainless steel only.
3. The temperature used in processing harvested plants is never raised above the point of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so that the active ingredients are not cooked; they remain active and alive, and have a very long shelf life.
Your vitality and energy is derived from live food. Most foods today are all dead - or are not really foods at all - as in boxed cereals, canned vegetables, soda pop, etc. You can readily understand the difference between dead, devitalized pseudo-foods, with the synthetic or isolated vitamins on the one hand, and "Designed Clinical Nutrition" and a diet of real foods, on the other.
Having been designed through decades of clinical use on tens of thousands of patients, and on patients from many different types of health care practitioners, you can be assured that Nutrition Response Testing (™) is capable of evaluating and solving your health concerns.
A complete Nutrition Response Testing (™) analysis can be done on each patient on each subsequent visit, thereby revealing the next layers of dysfunction so these can also be addressed and corrected. In this way, each patient gets a completely individualized handling, in the correct sequence for his or her body.
Very much like opening a combination lock, you must use the right numbers in the right sequence and in the right direction at the right time – then the lock falls open. By following the correct sequence as revealed through Nutrition Response Testing (™), you don't "shot-gun" your diet or supplements. With a correctly done Nutrition Response Testing (™) analysis, we can determine the correct food supplements for you – designed to give your body the best possible chance of getting well and staying that way.
Designed Clinical Nutrition provides the right basic materials. Nutrition Response Testing™ tells you when and what to use to bring about the desired result.
But in the end you are the one responsible for your own condition. And with our guidance, we feel that – if you are a Nutrition Response Testing (™) case – your chances of greatly improving your health can be as high as 90% or better.
In our experience, if our analysis indicates that you are not a Nutrition Response Testing (™)/nutritional case, then in all probability, while a nutritional program may give you some benefit, it may not give you the maximum results you desire.
But if our analysis confirms that you are a Nutrition Response Testing (™)/clinical nutrition case, then, in our experience, nothing else will ever come close to what you can possibly achieve using Nutrition Response Testing (™) and Designed Clinical Nutrition.
May you never be the same!

Aan het toernooi om de Europacup I in het seizoen 1969/70 werd deelgenomen door 32 landskampioenen voetbal plus de titelverdediger AC Milan.
Het was de 15de keer dat het toernooi werd gespeeld. De eindzege werd behaald door het Nederlandse Feijenoord, dat in de finale na verlenging won van het Schotse Celtic FC. Tot de finale had Feyenoord buiten de eigen Kuip dit seizoen geen Europese goal gescoord. De officiële uitwedstrijd tegen KR Reykjavik in de eerste ronde werd echter ook in Rotterdam gespeeld. Het was de eerste maal dat de trofee naar Nederland ging, de volgende drie seizoenen zou dat ook gebeuren. In tegenstelling tot voorgaande seizoenen werd het systeem van play-offs afgeschaft, en vervangen door het systeem van uitdoelpunten. Wanneer de uitslag dan nog gelijk was, werd een muntstuk opgegooid.

Aan het begin van het nieuwe decennium telde voor het eerst in de 15-jarige geschiedenis van het toernooi de finale twee clubs uit noordelijk Europa. Sterker nog, zelfs in de halve finale trad geen Latijnse ploeg meer aan.

Deelnemers
Dit zijn de deelnemende clubs, gesorteerd volgens land.

Voorronde
 In de tweede wedstrijd speelt de ploeg onder het kopje thuis uit en de ploeg onder uit thuis.
 Vetgedrukte clubs gaan door.

Vanwege het oneven aantal van 33 deelnemers moest er 1 voorronde gespeeld worden.

During the holidays there are always guest staying with us. And I like to have my bathrooms looking pretty and smelling pretty too. The Fluer D'Extase Savon Pur Pure Soap helps me accomplish this. There are 9 scented soaps in each box. I would say they measure to be about 1.5 to 2 inches square. And they smell amazing!
These soaps are high quality soaps. They are all triple milled and only use the finest plant based ingredients. These soaps are all natural! No harmful chemicals in these babies. And you can tell the difference. When I used my first one it felt silky and smooth. Afterwards my skin felt soft and there was a very light fragrance left behind. My only complaint is I cannot tell which fragrance I am using. I wish the box had a key on the inside or maybe the scent written behind each soap.
Would I buy a full size? Heck yes! I'm just not sure which scent because they all smelled so wonderful. I'm on my second bar and I love it just as much as the first. I still get that silky soapy experience in the shower.
These would make a wonderful teacher gift, hostess gift or gift for anyone that loves elegant fragrances. You can find them on amazon.


Made using wholewheat base and reduced fat mozzarella cheese, and 3 toppings of your choice.
100% chicken breast fillet coated in breadcrumbs oven cooked, served with fresh side salad.
Any 2x 12inch pizza, 1x large parmesan, 1x mozzarella sticks, 1x potato wedges, 1.5ltr bottle of drink and a hagen dazs ice cream.

ANOTHER FIRST FOR CITY OF DREAMS SET TO TRANSFORM THE REGION'S RETAIL LANDSCAPE
MACAU – Friday, June 24, 2016: – Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MPEL) ("Melco Crown Entertainment" or the "Company"), developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment casino resort facilities in Asia, and DFS Group, the world's leading luxury travel retailer, proudly unveiled together the exciting expansion of City of Dreams' retail area, which is managed and operated by T Galleria by DFS. In addition to being three times larger than the former retail space, the new shopping precinct represents a strategically designed, exclusive and eye-opening lifestyle luxury shopping experience in the heart of Macau.
A LUXURIOUS RETAIL LANDMARK IN MACAU
Introducing a stunningly edgy department-store style concept to Macau, City of Dreams and DFS have created a luxurious, contemporary and inviting atmosphere within City of Dreams' expanded retail area, headlining the T Galleria by DFS brand. Delightful and contemporary, the expansion is designed and built using elements of glass, marble and steel combined with warm wood accents. The setting is intended to be both dramatic and intimate, encouraging visitors to relax, unwind and indulge their taste for shopping and leisure. The expanded retail space links dining areas, casinos, retail stores, entertainment attractions and hotels, leading visitors on an engaging journey of some of the best retail and leisure experiences in Macau.
"City of Dreams has always been at the forefront of shaping Macau into a world center of avant-garde entertainment, delivering world-class leisure and entertainment offerings to the region. Today, we are pleased to announce the expansion plan of the retail precinct of City of Dreams, which will bring to our flagship property many firsts in town. Through our partnership with DFS Group, City of Dreams features the largest collection of luxury brands in Cotai and creates an exciting luxury shopping scene for all aspirational, sophisticated and cosmopolitan leisure seekers in the region," said Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited.
"Since entering the market in 2008, Macau has and continues to be an incredibly important destination for our customers and for DFS, which is why we are thrilled to unveil a retail concept here that is a first for DFS in terms of its scale, audacity and innovation. It is also a first for Macau in terms of providing a curated and modern product selection across the major luxury categories, targeting new and experienced travelers alike," Philippe Schaus, DFS Group's Chairman and CEO said. "T Galleria by DFS, City of Dreams will combine the breadth of a luxury shopping mall with the personalized service of a high-end department store. Only DFS could deliver this unparalleled shopping adventure at the core of City of Dreams, complementing a concentration of some of the best restaurants, world-renowned hotels and world-class entertainment offerings with a fresh and luxurious shopping experience in the heart of Macau."
FIRST-EVER SHOE SALON HEADLINES MANY "FIRSTS"
Opening in phases between June and December, City of Dreams' T Galleria by DFS will boast the largest collection of luxury brands in Cotai. In addition to beauty and fragrances, fashion and accessories, and watches and jewelry brands, the expanded retail space will introduce T Galleria's signature customer services exclusively to City of Dreams' customers, including the first-ever shoe salon to be opened in the third quarter as well as a multi-brand lifestyle shopping area dedicated to men's fashion and grooming.
"City of Dreams is the ideal location for DFS to launch our first dedicated shoe collection," said Schaus. "Customers in Macau are both discerning and adventurous, and our shoe salon will enable them to indulge their taste for the latest fashion styles as well as find something unique."
Offering over 50 men's and women's shoe brands across two floors, highlighted by exclusive-to-Macau brands such as Aquazzura and Rupert Sanderson, the new shoe hall will be the largest shoe salon in Hong Kong and Macau and a destination unto itself.
TRUE LUXURY WITH "DREAM" BRANDS AND A DREAM SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
The expanded beauty and fragrance section opens this month. When fully expanded, the 23,000 square feet of space will comprise two wings and feature nearly 70 beauty and fragrance brands, making it the largest beauty hall in Southern China. Highlights include popular Korean brands Sulwhasoo, Laneige and HERA.
For fashion-lovers, the experience is elevated with the June opening of 31 new fashion and accessories brands, including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Prada, Miu Miu and Fendi. And catering to male customers for the first time at any T Galleria by DFS store, there will be a dedicated multi-branded, lifestyle area that mixes ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, watches and grooming all in one space.
By the end of this year, the phased opening will culminate in a significantly wider jewelry offering, bringing key luxury jewelry brands Tiffany & Co. and Van Cleef & Arpels to City of Dreams as well as new watches boutiques from Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
To ensure a uniquely disruptive and ultimately fulfilling experience for all, exclusive dining outlets for high tea and social gatherings will also be integrated into the environment.

Calls for a Homes Accord to ensure all NZers well housed
Tuesday, 15 August 2017, 3:07 pm
Article: Community Housing Aotearoa
Calls for a Homes Accord to ensure all New Zealanders well housed
At the recent 2017 CHA Impact Conference members of the opening plenary panel each supported All New Zealanders well housed as a fundamental right. Yet there are a number of barriers, they say, to achieving this. Discussing all New Zealanders well housed were: Girol Karacaoglu, Head of the School of Government at Victoria University of Wellington; Hurimoana Nui Dennis from Te Puea Marae in South Auckland, and David Rutherford, New Zealand Human Rights Commissioner.
What we heard from the panel was moving, inspirational, and practical. The discussion was led by Stephen Selwood, CEO of Infrastructure New Zealand, who described housing as an issue for all New Zealanders.
"Everyone is impacted in some way by the housing crisis."
Each member of the panel brought a distinct and personal perspective on the importance of adequate housing as a foundation for the wellbeing of New Zealanders.
Each supported All New Zealanders well housed as a fundamental right. That means all New Zealanders having warm, dry, safe housing, as well as the ability to own their own home.
"We need to change the way we do things," Stephen says. "Partnerships and collaboration need to replace bureaucracy and silos. We need to think in different ways and streamline and align our processes. Why not partner with private capital? If we want to bring international capability to New Zealand, we need to scale up, stay focused on the vision, and be very clear in how we go about doing things."
Girol Karacaoglu says, as a community, we need a common vision. We need those at the top of the pyramid to have the vision before anything else can happen.
Poverty, says Girol, is about exclusion.
"Poverty is a highly politicised issue, but there is no doubt in my mind that poverty in New Zealand is getting worse. If you walk around the country, as I did during the Tackling Poverty project, you will see it. The fact is that housing in New Zealand is becoming less and less affordable."
The long-term sustainability of wellbeing requires trust, Girol said.
"Trust in systems, trust in institutions, and trust in government."
Hurimoana Nui Dennis shared insights into Te Puea Marae's Manaaki Tangata. This indigenous homeless service delivery model uses well-known Māori protocol and processes to 'let the marae do what the marae does'.
"Our vision is simple. It doesn't matter how big or challenging the task, get on and do what needs to be done."
Hurimoana said there was "much to be done" when Te Puea Marae opened its doors in May 2016 to "mums and dads and kids suffering a poverty of everything".
"They had no home, no nothing."
Looking at the sheer scale of the problem, Hurimoana asked how something as big as this was missed.
"People died. Kids were sick. Families were humiliated and separated. Did no-one see it coming?"
Back in 2010, a report to Treasury prepared by the Housing Shareholders Advisory Group stated that the "availability of healthy, affordable housing is dwindling in New Zealand. An increasing number of people are renting a home because they cannot afford to own one, and, even with Government support in place, some people with the highest needs are missing out on shelter".
The report, Home and Housed: A Vision for Social Housing in New Zealand[i], alerted officials to a potential housing crisis and set out what Hurimoana considers were "spot-on recommendations" to ensure New Zealanders had access to social and affordable housing in the future.
At the time, however, government agencies questioned the basis of the findings in the report.
"Nothing was done. Then the crisis happened."
Hurimoana is concerned at the lack of accountability for what happened and supports a Commission of Enquiry.
"If we don't learn from what happened, we'll be back here in another 10 years."
Human Rights Chief Commissioner David Rutherford believes that New Zealanders need to call our politicians on the decades of failure to meet New Zealand's obligation to adequately house all New Zealanders.
"Human rights are not owned by any political party. Since 1948, New Zealand governments have promised repeatedly to provide adequate housing for all New Zealanders. It's an international human right."
David believes it will take longer than any single Government's time in in power to deliver adequate housing to all New Zealanders and too often "political point-scoring and egos" get in the way of progress.
"I say we need a New Zealand Homes Accord, and I believe all political parties should work together to help form the Accord.
David believes that if we draw on global capital, unusual alliances, investment opportunities, and innovative thinking, together we can make a real difference.
"We need to work collectively. Agencies need to work together with a focus on the customer. The mana and dignity of each individual must be respected."
David refers to the disability community's catch cry for meaningful participation—'Nothing about us, without us'.
One of the findings of the Scoop HiveMind on what New Zealanders think about affordable housing was a majority of respondent's agreement with this statement:
"Solving the problem requires real leadership with a long-term focus and commitment that is at odds with NZ's central and local government electoral cycles. No one sector can solve housing affordability by itself. Solutions to housing affordability require non-partisan political agreement and a range of non-state actors to be included in governance and decision-making processes."
[i] NZ Government; T2010/1003: Housing Shareholders' Advisory Group report "Home and Housed- a vision for social housing in New Zealand."
Community Housing Aotearoa's vision is to make sure every New Zealander is well housed with a warm, safe, dry and affordable place to live.
We are the umbrella organisation for over 100 organisations who are building and managing affordable and social housing for under-served parts of our population. We play an advocacy and stewardship role for the sector, building capacity by promoting best practices, skill development, resources and policy guidelines for our members and other stakeholders.
Ultimately, we want to demonstrate that community housing is a critical element alongside private and government owned housing. No one alone can do it. We need all three housing pillars to achieve our ambition of providing every New Zealander with a home that fits their needs and means, as a basic human right. As a country - this will make us better and stronger.
Community Housing Aotearoa
Nga Wharerau o Aotearoa
Community Housing Aotearoa is the peak body for New Zealand's community housing sector. Our 110 members build and manage affordable and social housing.
Our Vision is to make sure every New Zealander is well-housed in a warm, safe, dry and affordable home. This is a basic human right.
We work to support the growth and development of community housing providers to enable them to provide affordable and social housing.
We want to demonstrate that community housing is a critical element alongside private and government owned housing. No one can do it alone.

What if I activate Athena accidentally?
We've taken preventative measures to limit accidental triggers. After numerous focus groups and mock-attacks within self-defense classes, we designed Athena with distinctive raised texture to guide your finger to the recessed button in the middle of the device.
If Athena's alarm is activated when it's connected to the app, open the app and click the X in the upper left hand corner. Then click "Stop sharing. I'm safe!" This will deactivate both the SilentROAR™ and Alarm Mode.
If Athena is not connected to your phone and the alarm is activated, press and hold the button on Athena for an additional 3 seconds to deactivate.
