A specialist recruiter for finance and technology across the media, tech and consumer sectors.
C-19: Free Support
The UK has the third strongest startup culture in the world – in 2016 650,000 new startups were registered with 205,325 based in London. For anyone looking to work outside the traditional office this presents an abundance of opportunities, but first you have to impress at interview, which can be a different experience at a startup.
After working closely with some of London's most successful startups (including the founders of Chaser, Funding Options, Facewatch & Square Mile Accounting) here's some crucial tips to help you succeed at your startup interview.
Prepare for a very different experience
Startup culture can be flexible and informal, which will be reflected in your interview. Expect an honest, indepth chat about who you are and what you can bring to the business. Startups and SMEs sink or swim based on their early hires and culture fit becomes incredibly important when the entire business consists of a small team you'll be working with everyday. When doing your interview preparation plan to answer questions in ways that showcase your personality as well as experience and technical acumen. If you're talking about how you solved a problem, discuss why you chose that route or solution as well as what you learnt from it and what you would do in future. In short, don't be afraid to show your workings.
Interview them back
Interviewing for any role is a two-way street, but this is especially true at a startup interview. Building your career at a startup is a fantastic way to get a hands-on experience, growing your skills and experience in ways and areas that aren't available in a traditional office, but it's essential you make sure that this is going to be the company for you. If you're working with a competent recruiter they will have already made sure that this is somewhere you could fit in but only you can make the final decision, so ask as many questions as you can.
No matter what position you're interviewing for it will be up to you to define your own role at a startup. As an early hire you may be directly responsible for success in some areas of the business, so don't be afraid to showcase your ideas for the future. Any ideas you present will show your interviewer that you're already considering the future of the company while helping you work out if your goals align.
Talentarc's Matt Stanford explained to an ACA webinar audience with the story of one particularly plucky candidate. "He took a business plan to the interview and presented it to the CEO. It detailed an area of growth that they hadn't previously considered, but it ended up being a viable market. Needless to say they offered him the position."
Demonstrate Flexibility
The hands on nature of startups can come to a genuine shock to those that haven't worked at one before. In a small growing team it's not possible to say "that's not my job". Job roles are more flexible as the organic nature of a startup means that job roles and responsibilities will overlap. Share examples of times you've gone above and beyond in your previous roles to demonstrate you're not afraid to roll up your sleeves and chip in.

In the eight decades before the recent recession, there was never a period when as much as 9 percent of U.S. gross domestic product went to companies in the form of after-tax profits. Now the figure is over 10 percent.
The government's first estimate of corporate profits in the third quarter was released two days before Thanksgiving, at the same time it revised the rate of GDP growth in the quarter down to an annual rate of 2.0 percent.

Use of the Letter of Jude by the Second Letter of Peter It seems obvious to all readers that there is some kind of close relationship between Jude and 2 Peter. For good reasons it is now widely accepted that 2 Peter is dependent on Jude (1). This is so much the case that authors at times overstate this dependence, saying that 2 Peter has simply incorporated Jude (2). A closer examination shows that the relationship is not this simple. The author of 2 Peter adapted Jude 4-18 in 2 Pet 2,1–3,3. The purpose of this paper is to offer a detailed description and explanation of this adaptation. I will describe at the level of vocabulary and syntax the way 2 Peter has modified Jude and attempt to understand the significance of these modifications. For the most part 2 Peter has not adapted Jude by quoting it directly. While 2 Peter contains many of the words and some phrases found in Jude, no sentence of Jude is quoted in 2 Peter. However, twice clauses of Jude are used in 2 Peter with little change. These passages are Jude 13b / 2 Pet 2,17b oi|" oJ zovfo" tou' skovtou" eij" aijw'na oi|" oJ zofo" tou' skotou" tethrhtai. v v v tethrhtai v and Jude 17-18 / 2 Pet 3,2-3 1,17 uJmei'" dev, ajgaphtoiv, mnhvsqhte twn 3,2 mnhsqh'nai twn proeirhmenwn ' ' v rhmatwn twn proeirhmenwn uJpo; twn J v ' v ' rhmatwn uJpo; twn a'givwn profhtw'n kai; J v ' apostolwn tou' kuriou hJmw'n ∆Ihsou' j v v th'" tw'n apostolwn uJmw'n ejntolh'" tou' j v Cristou' kuriou kai; swth'ro", v (1) For this view see E.M.

Q: Similar Javascript and python code does not give same result I have a problem, I have 2 scripts one is in javascript and one is python.
I want to use python to generate the value so I tried to rewrite javascript code to python

Can someone help me understand where in my python code I am giving the wrong values?
Thanks in advance!

A: In your Python code, in the for loop, you have a line
if n % (i + 4): return i + 4

This if condition is true if n % (i+4) is not equal to 0, so if n is not divisible by i+4. This is the opposite of what you want, and the opposite of what your JavaScript code does.
It should be, for example,
if not n % (i + 4): return i + 4

October 2014 Meeting – Herfordshire & Gloucestershire Canal Trust
10 October 2014 Meeting RecapsSecretary
For our October meeting we had Ted Beagles to give us an illustrated talk on the work of the Herefordshire & Gloucestershire Canal Trust, commonly referred to as the Hereford & Gloucester Canal Trust. The canal originally ran 34 miles from Herford to Gloucester.
Oxenhall lock and cottage
Ted explained that the Trust developed from the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Society which was formed in 1983 with the aim raising awareness of the Canal and preserving what structures remained with little thought of full restoration. However, things took a great step forward in 1992 when the Society was reconstructed into the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Trust with the stated aim of complete restoration, with Trust becoming a registered charity.
Ted went on to give a history of the canal and the restoration work carried out, a brief synopsis follows.
The canal was given its Enabling Act of parliament in 1791, with construction beginning, from Gloucester, in 1793. In 1795 it reached Newent in 1795 and Ledbury in 1832, it taking 38 years due to unforeseen construction and financial problems (nothings changed!) Finally in 1884 the canal reached the centre of Hereford. It was never very profitable, and with the coming of the railways its days were numbered. Ironically though its most profitable couple of years were carrying construction material for the railways. The canal finally closed in 1881, having been sold in 1862 to the Great Western and Midland Railways. Much of the canal course was filled in and used for the Gloucester to Hereford railway by the GWR.
Over Basin
Although much of the canal has been filled in and in places has disappeared altogether, a number of lock cottages, wharf buildings and bridges remain to be seen. Stretches of the canal at Monkhide, Yarkhill, Aylestone and Oxenhall have been restored and the stone chamber of House Lock at Oxenhall has been completely restored. Also the original canal basin at Over, where the Canal connected with the River Severn, has been reconstructed. Currently being worked on are sites at Moat Farm and Kymin East.
How long before the entire 34 miles is restored is anyone's guess, but the Trust is determined to get there – eventually.

The Fullerton Hotel ist ein Hotel in Singapur und liegt an der Mündung des Singapore River in die Marina Bay. Im Rahmen des 100-jährigen Stadtgründungs-Jubiläums 1919 entstand die Idee für das Gebäude, das zwischen 1924 und 1928 errichtet wurde und erst seit 2001 seinem heutigen Zweck als Hotel dient. Es ist nach dem ersten Gouverneur der britischen Straits Settlements, Sir Robert Fullerton, benannt.

Geschichte

An der Stelle des heutigen Gebäudes wurde 1829 das Fort Fullerton errichtet, benannt nach dem damals amtierenden Gouverneur (1826–1830) Robert Fullerton, um die am Fluss liegende Stadt zu verteidigen. Über die Jahre wurde das Fort mehrmals erweitert und führte 1843 auch zur Zerstörung eines Felsbrockens, auf dem altertümliche Inschriften zu lesen waren (Singapur-Stein). 1859 betrug es bereits das Dreifache seiner ursprünglichen Größe.

Im Juni 1872 stellte die Regierung der (mittlerweile zur britischen Kronkolonie ernannten) Straits Settlements, den Nutzen von Forts im Allgemeinen in Frage. Dies führte zum Abriss des Fort Fullertons, der im Juni 1873 abschlossen wurde. Es wich dem 1874 eröffneten General Post Office und dem 1879 fertiggestellten Exchange Building, das die Handelskammer von Singapur sowie den Singapore Club beherbergte.

Nachdem Südostasien weitestgehend vom Ersten Weltkrieg (1914–1918) verschont blieb, fanden 1919 die Feierlichkeiten zum 100-jährigen Bestehen Singapurs statt. In diesem Rahmen entstand die Idee für ein "Monument, das der Stadt angemessen ist" (Sir Laurence Guillemard, ab 1920 Gouverneur), das den neuen Reichtum und die Bedeutung Singapurs widerspiegeln sollte. Der mit dem Design beauftragte Londoner Architekt Major P. Hubert Keys stellte sein Konzept, das von klassischer griechischer Architektur inspiriert war, 1920 in Singapur vor. Nach Jahren der Kontroverse über Kosten und Extravaganz des Vorhabens, erfolgte 1924 schließlich die Grundsteinlegung.

Am 27. Juni 1928 wurde das Fullerton Building durch Gouverneur Sir Hugh Clifford eröffnet, der sich bei der Namensgebung abermals auf Robert Fullerton bezog. Die Kosten beliefen sich auf 4,75 Millionen Singapur-Dollar. Das Postamt fand hier – wie auch Handelskammer und Singapore Club – seine neue, alte Heimat und zog wenige Wochen nach Eröffnung in das Erd- und Untergeschoss des Gebäudes ein. Auch Regierungsbüros fanden Platz im Fullerton Building.

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs diente es in den letzten Tagen vor dem Fall Singapurs, als Krankenhaus und Zufluchtsort der alliierten Soldaten. Im Anschluss nutzten es die Japaner als Militärbasis.

Zwischen 1982 und 1985 fanden die ersten größeren Renovierungsarbeiten statt. Die große Transformation wurde jedoch gegen Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts eingeläutet und 1996 wurde das Gebäude und das umliegende Land ausgeschrieben und von Sino Land für 110 Mio. Singapur-Dollar erworben. Die bisherigen Mieter wie das Postamt hatten das Gebäude mittlerweile verlassen, sodass die Bauarbeiten 1997 beginnen konnten. Das Unternehmen investierte weitere 290 Mio. Singapur-Dollar, um das unter Denkmalschutz stehende Gebäude in ein 5-Sterne-Hotel mit 400 Zimmern umzuwandeln. Dieses nahm am 20. Dezember 2000 den Betrieb auf und wurde offiziell am 1. Januar 2001 eröffnet.

Am 7. Dezember 2015 wurde das Gebäude zum National Monument ernannt.

Erweiterungen

Am 14. Dezember 1958 wurde auf dem Dach des Fullerton Buildings ein Leuchtturm errichtet, das den Schiffsverkehr leiten sollte. Am 30. Dezember 1979 wurde er wieder entfernt, da die neu entstandenen Hochhäuser die Sicht darauf versperrten.

Am 15. September 1972 wurde die Merlion Statue zunächst in der Nähe der Fundstelle des Singapur-Steins (nördlich des Gebäudes, nahe der Anderson Bridge) aufgestellt. Nach dem Bau der Esplanade Bridge 1997 war nun aber die Sicht eingeschränkt und es erfolgte im April 2002 der Umzug an seinen heutigen Standort, den Merlion-Park der östlich vor dem Hotel an der Marina Bay liegt.

Zum Hotel-Komplex gehört zudem das 2010 gebaute Fullerton Bay Hotel mit 100 weiteren Zimmern, das etwa 200 m südlich liegt, sowie das bereits 1940 gebaute Waterboat House das unmittelbar nordöstlich angrenzt und heute als Restaurant dient. Des Weiteren befinden sich entlang des Ufers (von Süd nach Nord) noch die Restaurants und Entertainment Standorte Customs House, Clifford Peer, The Fullerton Pavillon und One Fullerton.

Q: Prevent HTML5-video in flex-container from overflowing in all browsers I'm working on a dialog that allows the user to take pictures via webcam and/or add image files from the computer and upload those to a server. There's a preview of the webcam image and some buttons inside a flexible (flex) container. I've been using the following snippet:

This is working great in Chromium and Chrome browsers, but in Firefox in the Edge browser the video-element is overflowing, pushing the buttons out of the container, leveraging the dialog unusable. Is there any way to get this done for all browsers?
Thanks in advance!

The broad and in-depth scope of the ACLU's work is what I admire most about the organization and why I eagerly jumped at the opportunity to join the team assisting the Policy Director, SK Rossi.
I had worked on legislative races during the 2016 election cycle but was brand new to policy, making 2017 my first legislative session. Jumping in midway came with a steep learning curve, but I was lucky enough to have the support of the solid foundation that had been laid down over the past month and a half by Rossi. As I sat in Committee hearings, scribbling down notes on bills aimed at reforming our state's Board of Pardons and Parole or limiting the rights of the state's transgender community, I received a crash course on the legislative process along with a 101 on the inner workings of key departments within our state government and the advocacy efforts of other organizations, all through the specific lens of the ACLU's mission of individual rights and liberties. The purpose of these notes embodied the most important lesson I learned during my short time at the state legislature: it is all about relationships.
Notes from committee hearings and floor sessions were passed along to Rossi, who had most likely been attending a hearing on another floor, so that they could identify which legislators they needed to approach in order to gain their support in passing or killing one of our priority bills. This didn't mean jumping right into the practical pros and cons of each piece of legislation, it meant temporarily putting aside our larger goal, our biases and differences and more often than not the voting history of the legislator at hand, to connect on a human level. When the session begins and people step foot in the Capitol, the roles of elected officials, lobbyists, and the citizens who come to deliver testimony are clearly defined, but once the session adjourns the laws put into place impact the individual rights and liberties of all Montanans. Those outside the building may never read or hear about the votes happing inside the Capitol, but the legislation will affect their lives in a very real way. I am unbelievably lucky to have spent the past two months learning and growing with an organization that fundamentally values that ideology.


The following article is from the press release regarding the Portas Pilot winning towns, announced by Grant Shapps today.
Twelve town centres across the country will have a unique opportunity to revitalise their high streets after being selected to be the first Portas Pilots, Local Government Minister Grant Shapps said today.
Mr Shapps praised the exceptional quality of the winning bids, which will each receive a slice of £1.2 million and a tailored package of support from both the Minister and retail guru Mary Portas.
From Stockport to Margate, successful pilots will be helped to implement their ideas to rejuvenate the town centre, as well as test out the measures in Mary Portas' High Street Review.
The competition to become a pilot received an overwhelming response, with over 370 applications from across the country. Mr Shapps said unsuccessful applicants should not despair – the quality of the bids has been so high that he was launching a second round of the competition, which will see 15 additional pilots announced by the end of July.
Mr Shapps said there was no need for unsuccessful applicants to reapply, but they could sharpen up their bids if they wished and submit them again by 30 June, which was also the deadline for new town teams to apply.
The Minister said it was clear that Mary Portas's review into the High Street was the "catalyst communities craved" to get together and secure the future of their town centres.
"The best local high streets offer more than simply shopping – they are the beating heart of their neighbourhoods: places to meet, work, relax and come together as a community. It's why this competition to become a Portas Pilot has captured the imagination of the nation, with communities across the country uniting to support their high streets.
"I've been deeply touched by both the quality and creativity of the bids and the momentum Britain's first town teams have generated in just a few short weeks.
"Landlords are as committed as anyone to finding a solution to our struggling high streets and creating vibrant town centres, and we welcome the announcement of the twelve Portas Pilots.
Bedford – offering mentoring support for High Street businesses and community use of empty properties.
Croydon, Greater London – transforming the riot-stricken area's historic Old Town market into a thriving market, food and cultural quarter.
Dartford, Kent – opening up central spaces for use by classes and clubs, from the Scouts to Slimming World and starting a 'school for shopkeepers'.
Margate, Kent – putting education and enjoyment at the heart of the town centre's transformation with courses, "job club" services and pop up shops.
Wolverhampton – bringing the city will to life with modern day town criers and on-street performers and a 'dragon's den' style competition to support local entrepreneurs.
Dedicated contact point in Government to provide advice and support in identifying and overcoming challenges to local business growth.
Free support from retail industry leaders including Mary Portas' own team and access to a range of sector experts.
Areas that are unsuccessful will also benefit from the pilots, as the best ideas and solutions will be shared to help struggling high streets across the country.
Bedford's Pilot aims to put a 'buzz' back into the town centre with many vacant shops. One key aspect of the bids is to take one of the empty shops and turn it into a show case, sales and support unit for all the other businesses on the High Street and those who aspire to be part of it. Large businesses will support and mentor small independent retailers, and a contract of care between landlords and their tenants will be encouraged. They will also start more imaginative community use of empty properties, building on "we are Bedford" events, which use empty shops as art venues, to create a platform for fledgling businesses and a new pride and ownership of the town centre.
Riot-stricken Croydon's Portas Pilot will help transform the area's historic Old Town market it into a thriving market, food and cultural quarter, emphasising local heritage. The Pilot aims to attract people from the nearby business district and new housing developments by providing the practical everyday essentials that are missing from local high street shops alongside interesting creative offers. The Town Team will bring in pop-up traders, working with other London markets to attract home grown talent, support improvements to shop fronts, creating a member-owned cooperative to provide small loans for this purpose, and establish a food court in Exchange Square.
Despite Dartford's high average earnings, the town's proximity to London's West End and the Bluewater shopping centre means that very few residents spend on their local high street. Dartford's Portas Pilot will bring the community back into the town centre, opening up spaces for use by classes and clubs, from the Scouts to Slimming World. They will expand market trading days, offer bursaries to set up market stalls and give free pitches to startup companies. They will also offer training to local business owners, reopening an empty unit as a 'social networking shop' for local trades to share knowledge and offer their services and bringing in West End retail experts for a 'school for shopkeepers'.
On the edge of Bristol, Bedminster intends to restructure its economy for the 21st Century, tackling the empty shops and anti-social behaviour in the eastern end of North Street and East Street. The Town Team aims to make Bedminster an internationally renowned home of Street Art and Street Theatre, with a permanent route of 25 pieces of locally made art around the area, a pop up street theatre and a permanent outside theatre space. A bicycle rickshaw service, a review of car parking and a review of shared space will tackle the traffic environment.
Liskeard's hidden high street means that many of its residents are unaware of its charms and are,shopping and socialising elsewhere. The Liskeard Portas Pilot will inject fun back into the tired town centre, battling against the edge of town supermarket with a vibrant arts scene, seasonal and evening events and an evening market. Dedicated volunteers will use flash mob techniques from guerrilla gardening to yarn bombing to awaken the town with empty shops used as art space, and a website and work hub to connect everyone together.
An area of high deprivation and low income, Margate has been labelled as 'Britain's second worst ghost town' with its 36.1% vacancy rate. Margate's Portas Pilot will turn the town's fortunes, putting education and enjoyment at the heart of its transformation. Empty shops will be used for an enterprise centre and courses, "job club" services and pop up shops. A new quality market will be opened with stalls offered to entrepreneurs, and website, free public WIFI, high street co-ordinator, marketing material and work to improve the look of the local area also help revitalise Margate.
Market Rasen High street often sees people pass through the town on their way to local sporting events, from the races to rugby, but few stop in to visit the shops. The traditional market town's Pilot will help the area draw customers in by bringing pride back to the local area and restoring the market town 'look'. The Town Team plans to 'blitz' the unkempt areas of the town and work with landlords to tackle empty shops. They will advertise the local free parking and revitalise the market with stallholder demonstrations. Local shops will also be encouraged to open stalls and a 'mentoring' scheme will be put in place for new businesses to start on a market stall and work their way up to a high street store.
The historic cotton mill town Nelson is determined to re-establish its town centre as a vibrant hub for a diverse and multi-cultural community. Nelson's Town Team will attract the town's 2000 students to the town centre by creating a young persons café with free wi-fi and space to work and socialise. The town centre will hold sports activities such as morning bootcamps, and a new art and vintage market will also be established with college art work displayed in empty premises. Two empty shops will be dedicated to 3 month artist commissions and many other vacant sites will be granted to young entrepreneurs and artists, with professional business support and marketing.
Just 20 minutes from Newcastle, Newbiggin by the Sea is a small, isolated village "at the end of a road", and with 36% of its retail premises lying empty, the seaside town could benefit from a serious boost. The Newbiggin pilot will introduce new branding to help draw people into the town, including people from surrounding holiday parks. Plans to improve local transport will make it easier for those living on the outskirts of town to use their high street rather than heading to the city, vacant shops will be opened up to host pop up shops for new traders and exhibitions, and existing Newbiggin businesses will work together to support each other and draw customers back into the town.
Stockport's proximity to Manchester and the Trafford centre means this large market town's high street is among the worst affected in England. The Markets and Underbanks area in particular has 25-50% vacancies, yet this recently restored area has huge character and potential. Stockport's pilot will bring a new vibe to the area with venues owned and run by young people, and a creative arts complex 'Seven Miles Out'. There will be a programme of evening events to animate Stockport's unique places and spaces such as outdoor screenings in St Peter's Square. Other elements include using the creative community to "dress" vacant units, support for current and new occupancies, a new strategy for car parking charges, and street champions.
Rather than directly compete with the retail competition of nearby towns and retail parks, Stockton's Portas Pilot plans to become a thriving and vibrant market town destination that attracts both residents and visitors to shop, eat and drink, as well as providing a vibrant business and retail offer. The reopened Globe Theatre will be a local centre for live entertainment which, along with the ARC arts centre and Cultural Quarter, will be a catalyst for the evening leisure economy. Specialist High Street markets and evening markets will make Stockton a unique shopping destination and improvements in heritage areas, such as spotlights on significant buildings will support the evening economy.
Wolverhampton's city centre has the fifth highest level of empty shops in the country, with strong competition from neighbouring towns and derelict areas attracting graffiti and antisocial behaviour. The WV One Pilot will bring the city will to life by introducing modern day town criers and on-street performers to promote local events and traders already established in the area will receive additional business support. They will also tackle the high level of empty shops head on with a 'dragon's den' style competition to support local entrepreneurs. The winners will receive cash grants, a free place to trade and a showcase shop.
The Local Data Company (LDC) has agreed to support the 12 pilots by providing free access to its current and historical data and insight along with peering to national trends.
Springboard Research Ltd has also agreed to provide access data and and run workshops for pilots. Evidence based research is important to enable the pilots to get a thorough understanding of the issues that they face, the potential solutions.
The British Council of Shopping Centres and the British Property Federation are coordinating a mentor scheme online so that pilot towns can access free specialist advice on issues like property and planning.

Uhlman: Yes they both here Ali. Anthony Albanese, good afternoon. Christopher Pyne, good afternoon. Anthony Albanese I can just see you checking your watch are you going to give us any indication when you want to get out of here or should I ask Christopher Pyne?
Albanese: Well I think you should ask Christopher. I think the Opposition have decided- its almost like they're in the Senate holding their breath till we give up on the National Broadband Network, trying to, I don't know what the strategy is besides inconveniencing people, but they're also inconveniencing they're own people as well because it wont change the outcome.
Uhlman: Christopher Pyne when is going to end, because of course the outcome will not be changed.
hasn't got any hidden hooks in and unfortunately the Government hasn't managed its business in the Senate well. This happens at the end of every year, and this year is no different.
Uhlman: Anthony Albanese, didn't the Government look like it was kicking screaming not to give information out.
that the ACCC is looking at a range of issues that isn't completed yet until after November 30.
Uhlman: Alright I might pause there for a moment because Stephen Conroy is on his feet in the Blue Room. He's talking about anti-syphoning laws which is about the sort of sport we can watch on television, lets hear a little bit of that.
Uhlman: Alright we'll leave Stephen Conroy there and we'll come back to that a little later over the course of our broadcasting this afternoon to got through that list of, but essentially it means that none of the events that currently go to air on free to air television can will be lost from free to air television or that there'll be some capacity for those second tier events for some of them to go to the digital channels which are merging on free to air television.
Christopher Pyne you said that during that that some of the conversations were colourful and robust, would you say that colourful and robust is what you've seen under the new rules that we see in the lower house?
Pyne: Well look Chris, I've just heard what he's just said about the anti-syphoning laws, the only point I make about that before I answer your question is that its been announced after Question Time in the House of representatives and the Senate on the last day of sittings for the year, so I think our shadow spokesman, Malcolm Turnbull will want to look at the detail before we start popping the champagne corks to ay this is a great outcome. It will be very fascinating to see, I mean if it was such a good idea, why wasn't it announced when it could be scrutinised by the Parliament. But we'll have time to do that. Look Parliament this year has been fascinating obviously. It's the first hung parliament since the 1940s. It's been interesting from the point of view that the independents have almost always voted with the government. They are lining up with the Government and they will have to bear the consequences of the Governments mistakes, and there will be mistakes. No one really believes that the Government can successfully roll out a $50 billion national Broadband Network, when it hasn't even been able to give roof batts away for free, or build school halls without wast and mismanagement, so we will see when the rubber hist the road, just how well the National Broadband Network is rolled out. We've obviously seen problems in schools in Tasmania for example where it's only been one third of the speed they expected with their broadband.
Uhlman: Anthony Albanese the House is working as far you're concerned, fifty one Bills have gone through.
none defeated. Indeed, no amendments that weren't supported by the Government were passed to any of our legislation. And that includes some pretty big legislation including the structural separation of Telstra that is still the subject of some debate in the Senate. It includes reforms in the health and hospital area in terms of establishing the network. It includes the changes to the Federal financial relations to allow for the changes in terms of the GST associated with those health reforms. It includes, this week, child care changes that will make a big difference to families and the way that child care operates in this country. So the legislation is going through, it is working constructively, at the same time we've had more that 90 hours of private members business. We saw the first private members bill carried this decade with Andrew Wilkie's bill to provide some shield protection for journalists in terms of their sources and I am sure that's legislation you would support. So it terms of the Parliament functioning effectively, it is.
Uhlmann: Does it work for you, Christopher Pyne? Because it seems to a certain extent that the answers are shorter but you're not getting obviously as much detail in the answers as you would like. And it seems that the questions have been de-powered on occasions.
Pyne: Well nothing's changed in question time. I mean, we are still getting the 'slag and bag' from the ministers, the Prime Minister in particular is past master of the old 'slag and bag' of the Opposition. The only thing that's changed in Question Time is that there is four minutes of slagging and bagging rather than the up to eleven minutes we used to have under the previous Parliament. So that's an improvement I guess you'd have to say, an incremental improvement. The Opposition has had a good five weeks in Parliament. We have held the Government to account. What we're really seeing is that the Government doesn't have an agenda, next year they have seventeen sitting weeks, it's the record smallest number in fifteen years. They don't want the Parliament to sit because they're worried about losing any votes at all. More importantly, they don't want the Parliament to sit because they haven't got an agenda other than the Greens' agenda.
Albanese: The fact is that we do have an eighteenth reserve week. The week that's been taken off is that in recent years for many years, Parliament has sat for the first week in February, the week after the Australia Day weekend. What happens the first week of February? Christopher's four young kids, I'm not sure if all four of them are at school?
Pyne: One's yet to get there.
reform. I think it's a good thing that people will be able to experience that in terms of that first week in February. So we are coming back on February 8 rather than February 1. The other thing is though, Christopher speaks about records, this Parliament was convened in a record short time since federation in between a government being sworn in and the House of Representatives sitting. Normally, elections happen toward the end of the year, the Parliament comes back the following February. The last time round I was sworn in as a Minister in December, February Parliament sat. This time round we sat immediately because of the circumstances to show that we had the confidence on the floor of the House but we sat for five pretty intense weeks. So in terms of scrutiny, this Government has made itself available. In terms of Question Time, anyone who watches it knows that Christopher and his team haven't quite taken the hints from the speaker about the nature of the questions. What we see is essentially a continuation of the sloganeering from Tony Abbott and put with a question mark on the end rather than any specific questions which require a much more specific answer.
Pyne: The problem with your Government is that it doesn't matter what kind of question you ask them, you get exactly the same answer. And we had hoped that Harry Jenkins would interpret the 'directly relevant' rule much more tightly. He started off being much more tight about what could be included in an answer, that has blown out entirely. I think the public well know that whatever question you ask this Government, they give you exactly the answer they want to give and it's really up to Harry Jenkins to bring them back to the field. The point is, next year's sitting pattern, there's a seven week break between March and May - there is no reason at all why we can't sit... (inaudible). If the best reason we're not starting till February the 8th is so that members of Parliament can see their kids off to school, a lot of Australians would love that luxury wouldn't they?
Uhlmann: Well gentlemen, unfortunately we are going to have to make an end.

Several firms operate bus routes between St. Petersburg and central Europe. A bus trip can be a reasonably comfortable way to connect with the Baltic states, Scandinavia, and Germany, although as with train travel in and out of the country, it entails a bit of waiting at the border for everyone to clear customs. The Gorodskoi Avtobusny Vokzal (City Bus Station), open from 6:30 am until 11:30 pm, sells tickets for international and domestic routes. It takes about 5–7 minutes to walk to the station from Obvodny Kanal metro station, but you might find it more convenient to go through a travel agent.
Lux Express runs coaches to Tallinn and Riga (and from these cities to destinations all over Europe). The Finnish company Finnord runs coaches between Helsinki and St. Petersburg via the border town of Vyborg. The service runs twice daily, leaving from Finnord's offices at 37 ulitsa Italyanskaya, and then stopping at half a dozen Finnish towns before reaching Helsinki.
When traveling by bus, tram, or trolley within the city, you must purchase a ticket from the conductor. A ticket valid for one ride costs 25R, regardless of the distance you intend to travel; if you change buses, you must pay another fare. You can also buy a smart card called "Podorozhnik;" costs vary, but some sample prices are 265R for a maximum of 10 rides over 7 days and 485R for 20 rides over 15 days. Buses, trams, and trolleys operate from 5:30 am to midnight, although service in the late evening hours and on Sunday tends to be unreliable.
Note that all public transportation vehicles tend to be extremely overcrowded during rush hours. It's very much the Russian philosophy that there's always room for one more passenger. Make sure you position yourself near the exits well before the point at which you want to disembark, or risk missing your stop. Buses tend to be new and reasonably comfortable. Trolleys and trams, on the other hand, sometimes give the impression that they're held together with Scotch tape and effort of will, and can be extremely drafty.

We asked our mutual fund board to let us convert to a government fund that would invest in lower-yielding but safer, more liquid instruments, and it agreed.

British-Norwegian group A1 is expected to churn out their familiar tunes at their Manila concert on the evening of February 25, 2012. But one thing their Pinoy fans should look forward to is their new, exciting rendition of their smash hit "Like A Rose," which arguably is their biggest song in the ears of fans this side of the globe.
Member Ben Adams who wrote "Like A Rose" is thrilled to announce their performance of the said version. "We have just updated it for a brand new version for 2012, which was amazingly fun to do! Very excited for you all to hear it!" He recalled, "I wrote it when I was 16 years old on my old upright piano at my parents house. I haven't told anyone this really as most people assume it's a love song, but it was actually originally written for my mom!"
A1 started making a big splash when their first single, "Be the First to Believe," entered the UK charts at #6 in early 1999. They had a huge amount of success worldwide with two #1s and eighty top 10 hits. Some of their other hits are "Take On Me", "Ready or Not / Everytime", "Same Old Brand New You", "Caught in the Middle" and "Make It Good".
Grab a copy of the greatest hits of A1, available in music stores nationwide, for only Php430, only from Ivory Music & Video, the exclusive licensee of Sony Music in the Philippines.

LETTER DAY STORY RELEASES NEW EP "BREAKAWAY"
Letter Days Story is now riding high on the success of their latest single "Save Me". Gaining a steady stream of airplay in tastemaker stations like 89.9 Magic, RX 93.1, and Jam 88.3, "Save Me" captured the attention of the hip mainstream audience that has always been craving for new and original OPM band music. Letter Day Story attracted a new wave of followers, particularly in their social media streams, venting out their clamour to hear more songs from LDS. Hence, the EP "Breakaway" is now released. 'Breakaway' consists of six tracks – including 'Save Me' – 'Smile', 'Breakaway', Ikaw at Ako', Hinahanap', and 'The Hero Within' – the last track having been featured on AXN Channel where LDS are ambassadors.
The release of Letter Day Story's digital single "Save Me" last August was a pivotal point in their career as recording artists. They've had their share of sophomore jitters inspite of their current stature. They've been together as a band for over ten years, won the grand prize in a prestigious band competition, released their debut EP "Sulat Araw Kwento" in 2009; released their debut album "Sama-Sama" in 2010; and are signed and managed by Sony Music Philippines — yet, LDS opted to test the waters once again with "Save Me". The remarkable response by their loyal fans and new set of "likers" also compelled them to release an official music video for "Save Me", which is now airing on MYX Philippines and other music video shows.
The EP "Breakaway" is out now in digital formats, available for mobile and online downloading at major online sites like iTunes (click HERE). CD formats are also available at leading record stores.

The Enlightened Mr Parkinson: A Book Review
Did you know the Japanese have a word for 'a pile of unread books'? That word is tsundoku.
I have finally had a chance since pre-COVID-19 to have an entire week off. I have decided to unwind at my favourite local getaway: North Stradbroke Island.
I have also decided to do something about my tsunduko! Several years ago, I heard Cherry Lewis being interviewed on Radio National talking about the life and times of James Parkinson, whom after Parkinson's disease is named.
I was fascinated and intrigued and wanted to learn more about this incredible person. I love reading historical biographies that document the history of medicine, and the 18th century was indeed an incredible period of transformation and enlightenment. I rushed out and bought the book in 2017, but have not had a chance to read it until now. Reading the book made me appreciate the incredible medical advancements we have made in the last 200 years.
Cherry Lewis recounts with such insight and clarity the remarkable life of James Parkinson in her book, The Enlightened Mr. Parkinson. Not only was Parkinson a highly respected surgeon and medical pioneer, he was politically outspoken. He also actively campaigned for changes and reforms to child labour and improvements to the atrocious conditions in asylums. Lewis has given us such incredible insight into an incredible person for whom I have come to admire and respect.
Parkinson lived in a very turbulent, but exciting period in our history in the late 18th century. This was a period of upheaval, and London, where James Parkinson lived, was the epicentre of change as a result of The Industrial Revolution. In the period in which Parkinson lived, 'mad' King George III was on the throne. It was a reign dominated by the seven-year war (1756-1766), the American War of Independence (1775-1783) and the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802), which became the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). As a consequence, everything and everyone was highly taxed and civil discontent prevailed. Parkinson wrote more than two-thirds of every shilling earned was taken as taxes on the articles most necessary to support life.
In the 18th century, there were three types of medical practitioners: physicians, surgeons and apothecaries. There was a very clearly defined hierarchy, with apothecaries at the bottom and physicians at the top.
Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians had to have a medical degree from either Oxford or Cambridge. Lewis describes the physicians as an elitist group who provided healthcare to the rich and were forbidden to practice a 'trade' such as that of an apothecary, surgeon or man-midwife. Surgeons and apothecaries tended to pursue apprenticeships, but were largely unregulated until the Apothecaries Act of 1815. On completion of their apprenticeship, apothecaries could take an oral examination at the College of Surgeons, which qualified them to practice as apothecary surgeons. The apothecary's original role was to prepare and dispense remedies prescribed by a physician in the same way that a pharmacist dispenses medications prescribed by a doctor nowadays. However, in Parkinson's time, the apothecary would prescribe for minor ailments. Apothecaries were trained to recognise many plants, berries, roots, barks and minerals used on various remedies as well as how to prepare and prescribe them.
I was surprised to learn medical practitioners of the 18th century were still following the teachings of Hippocrates, who more than 2,000 years before, had promoted the doctrine of the four humours of the body: blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. Disease was defined as an imbalance of these humours, and it was the role of the physician to bring the body's humours back into balance. This often involved the use of blood-letting and the use of powerful purgatives.
At the age of 16, in 1771, James Parkinson followed in his father's footsteps and began his seven-year apprenticeship as an apothecary for his father, eventually taking over his father's practice when he died.
This was a period of radical political transformation as there was so much discontent amongst the majority of the population. To give you an idea, before 1831, only male owners of freeholds who paid more than 40 shillings a year in land tax were eligible to vote. This represented less than 2% of the population at the time. It is not surprising we saw the downtrodden populace in France become extremely restless and agitated, which resulted in the storming of the Bastille prison and the rest is history for King Louis XVI and his family.
There was much support for the French Revolution among Britain's deprived working classes. It was at this time Parkinson attended a lecture given by a political activist who supported the French Revolution. Following this, Parkinson joined a secret society that advocated parliamentary representation for all men. Parkinson had a talent for writing and was soon involved in publishing 'radical pamphlets', which were considered an act of treason. One of Parkinson's highly provocative pamphlets was titled, 'Revolutions without Bloodshed'.
Parkinson and many of his colleagues were implicated in a plot to assassinate the King. Even though the Government never produced any evidence, the authorities were determined to supress any organisation that promoted liberal ideologies.
By the way, it was not until 1918 that the Representation of the People Act extended the vote to all men over the age of 21 and women over 30. In 1928, the universal suffrage was extended to women over the age of 21 years of age.
Parkinson was also very active in campaigning against child labour in the factories (often as young as 5 or 6). In the 1790's, Parkinson oversaw significant improvement in the horrendous working conditions of children in factories, which often resulted in severe long-term and crippling injuries. He helped establish regulations governing child labour. However, would you believe, it was not until 1901 laws were passed that prohibited children under the age of 12 from working in factories.
Lewis also describes Parkinson's work in an asylum. One of his duties was to assess if the patients were insane and if they should be admitted. He was appalled at the practices and questioned the definition of insanity at the time and made recommendations which lead to the Madhouse Act of 1774 being reformed.
In 1817, Parkinson wrote a treatise, An essay on the shaking palsy, in which he clearly articulated and documented the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, he could not identify the cause. At the time, the condition was referred to as paralysis agitans.
It would not be until 1882 when French neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot, used the term maladie de Parkinson to describe the condition we nowadays know as Parkinson's disease. It was not until the 1950s that the neurological basis for Parkinson's disease was identified.
Parkinson was a man ahead of his times and I am sincerely grateful to Cherry Lewis for restoring Parkinson to his rightful place in history.
I do look forward to sharing the potential role of using aromatherapy in the management of Parkinson's disease in a future blog.

Civil-Military Cooperation in the Field of Civil Protection and Emergency Management
In Romania, the Department for Emergency Situations was in charge of implementing prevention and preparedness measures of civil protection in order to reach a higher degree of resilience at the society level. The cooperation with the population (mostly volunteers), but also with civil society organisations and private sector, conducted to a broad network that was involved in public awareness campaigns and exercises (either field or virtual reality).
Simulation exercises are designed to improve the operational cooperation in civil protection assistance. This is strictly link to understanding how citizens acts during an emergency and how it is possible to increase a mutual collaboration. Cooperation among stakeholders, contingency planning, decision-making procedures, communication to the public and the mass-media in major emergency situations can therefore be tested and it helps identifying further training needs and operational gaps.
In virtual reality exercises, but also on the ground during the field exercises, the main purpose is to work with both citizens and civil society, but also to test the resilience of the national integrated emergency system. Regarding the cooperation with the civil society, there have been identified lessons learned and best practices during the exercises, thus the Department promoted the partnership with civil society representatives on the topic of preparation for emergency situations (including awareness campaigns, interdisciplinary table-top exercises, development of mobile apps and platforms on risk awareness and civil protection recommendations). On the other side, the level of resilience is tested through its seven baseline requirements: continuity of government, energy supplies, ability to deal with uncontrolled movement of people and mass casualties, food and water resources, resilient transportation and communication systems.
During the exercise, the continuity of government is a coordinated effort within the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to ensure that essential functions continue to be performed before, during, and after a catastrophic emergency. The development and maintenance of continuity capabilities helps build and sustain a more resilient nation, equipped to sustain essential functions, deliver critical services, and supply core capabilities under all conditions. Continuity of government is important as it can be applied not only in public institutions, but also in private sector (including actors that are in charge of critical infrastructure) or civil society organizations.
Also, it can be seen that shelter, food and water, but also first aid, all are important in emergency situations. The evacuation center located at the National Arena in Bucharest is a very capable facility for use as an emergency and temporary shelter. There is ample space and 'wraparound' services available to quickly convert the center to a population sheltering, protection, monitoring, and caring and feeding facility. Approximately 10,000 cots were setup inside the area. Each cot had a sleeping bag and personal hygiene kit on it. Additional blankets were available to evacuees.
Think of the unthinkable, practicing and exercising, testing the reaction in various scenarios and taking into account different risks, involving population and civil society organizations, all these issues can help in reaching a societal resilience and having better prepared communities.

What does the fox say? He says, " this is absolutely the cutest woodlands fox set ever "
This set includes the fox hat, newborn size up to 3 - 4 months, depending on the size of the baby. This set is the same size that the baby in the photo is wearing. The photo's are of the actual set. It comes with the tail it is not attached so it can simply be placed under baby. It also comes with the handmade fox.which makes it such a beautiful gift set. The Woodlands Animals are so popular right now making this spot on.
I will be keeping one in hand at a time, due to the cost and I have work with the handmaker. If I don't have one in hand you may still order, and if you would like you could also choose a size bigger than newborn.
If I were a professional photographer I would snap this up very quickly, and have it available for your customers to choose.
Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions or requests please let me know.

Historical Alexander and his family wandered all over Asia (Nagasaki, Shanghai, and finally Hong Kong) where they felt safe until the Japanese invasion. He was a merchant marine captain of the SS Hung On, which sailed between Japan and India. He died in '42, shortly after the invasion of HK. Rivca, who had returned to his care, sat out the rest of the war in a camp in HK. They were White Russian Jews out of Odessa originally, and had gone east to escape the Communist Revolution.
Grandson Geoff Wellstead wrote on gwulo.com:
"A son of Russian Black Sea mill owners, Captain Alexander Laihovetsky and his family happened to be living in Nagasaki at the time of the 1917 Russian revolution. They moved to HK after World War I, then went to Vancouver chicken farming (unsuccessfully) in the early 1920s, but by the mid '20s were back in Kowloon Tong.
