Imagine a future where dynamically, from year to year, we can track the progression of alien species (AS), identify emerging species, assess their current and future risk and timely inform policy in a seamless data-driven workflow. One that is built on open science and open data infrastructures. By using international biodiversity standards and facilities, we would ensure interoperability, repeatability and sustainability. This would make the process adaptable to future requirements in an evolving IAS policy landscape both locally and internationally. The project Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS) aims to do this for Belgium. For a full project description, see Vanderhoeven et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e13414).
Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS)
TrIAS is funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) call for Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks (BRAIN).
The project builds on two components: 1) The establishment of a data mobilization framework for alien species data from diverse data sources and 2) the development of data-driven procedures for risk evaluation based on risk modelling, risk mapping and risk assessment. TrIAS uses facilities from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, http://www.gbif.org), standards from the Biodiversity Information Standards organization (TDWG, http://www.tdwg.org) and expertise from LifeWatch INBO (http://lifewatch.inbo.be) to create and facilitate a systematic workflow. Alien species data are gathered from a large set of regional, national and international initiatives, including citizen science data, with a wide taxonomic scope from marine, terrestrial and freshwater environments. Observation data are funnelled in repeatable ways to GBIF. In parallel, a Belgian checklist of alien species is established, benefiting from various taxonomic and project-based checklists foreseen for GBIF publication.

Intellectual Property's Lessons for Information Privacy
Mark Bartholomew, State University of New York at BuffaloFollow
Studying the different ways in which intellectual property law addresses expressive concerns offers a variety of models for resolving the impending conflict between data privacy and the First Amendment. Yet intellectual property's models for calibrating free-speech interests have been ignored by courts and rejected by privacy scholars. This Article remedies that failure. The Article begins in Part II by discussing the largely unexamined parallel between intellectual property law's treatment of expression-based defenses and the similar accommodations that will need to be incorporated into data privacy law. Part II also addresses potential objections to modeling privacy law on intellectual property. Although there are some important conceptual differences between intellectual property and privacy protections, these differences are outweighed by their similarities, at least when it comes to the specific issue of how to harmonize such protections with expressive freedoms. Parts III through V delineate the doctrinal mechanisms judges have built into copyright, trademark, and publicity rights law for balancing the interests of intellectual property owners with free-speech concerns. Part III describes how intellectual property law deems particular categories of plaintiff communication to be worthy of protection and unworthy of First Amendment privileges for unauthorized users. Part IV notes how intellectual property law uses speaker intent as a proxy for First Amendment interests. Part V details specific doctrinal mechanisms used to evaluate the expressive importance of an intellectual property defendant's speech contribution. Parts III through V also describe how courts could use these mechanisms to evaluate the constitutionality of new data privacy laws. By borrowing from intellectual property, courts can respond to the current public demand for restrictions on data use while still protecting the key expressive interests at the heart of the First Amendment.

Public Charter Schools Put Benefits of Teaching Hebrew to the Test
Traiman Alex
Source: eJewish Philanthropy
Now in its ninth year, the Hebrew Public network of 13 charter schools utilizes a blend of startup philanthropic funding and state funds to offer high-quality Hebrew language education to Jewish and non-Jewish students alike. Currently, these schools run in New York, New Jersey, California, Minnesota and Washington, D.C. New schools are scheduled to open soon in Philadelphia and Staten Island.
The network schools teach Hebrew to all their students since kindergarten. The school does not teach any subjects on Jewish faith, but does offer information on Israeli culture, history and national holidays.
"We are not a Jewish school. We are the only public-school network in North America that teaches Hebrew to kids of all backgrounds," says Valerie Khaytina, chief external officer of Hebrew Public.
The network – with more than 3,000 students – was started by the Areivim Philanthropy Group and the Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life in 2009 to provide an alternative for parents and students searching for an education that could provide access to Hebrew and Israel. "The Areivim partners sought to find the next big idea to actually make Jewish education affordable for all children," explains Khaytina. "At around the same time, they got to learn about the concept of charter schools. They quickly learned that a charter school needs to be open to all students, regardless of their religious background and that we can provide all of our students with great education, including learning Hebrew as a second language."
"We are a public school in the United States, which means we are open to all the students in the neighborhood," and in the United States, you cannot ask students what their religion is. Anecdotally, we believe that approximately half the students in the whole network are Jewish, but we don't know that for sure."
Khaytina says that for many Jewish families, the school's appeal is "the idea of teaching kids Hebrew, and about the history and culture of Israel – about global citizenship."
For many families, "sending their kids to our school is simply a better choice," she says. "Unfortunately, in many neighborhoods in the United States, the school networks are not so great, and families just want a better school."
"For some, it is the emphasis on a foreign language, and it can be any foreign language. It could be Hebrew, it could be Chinese, it could be Spanish," adds Khaytina. "For some families, they like that Hebrew is the language of the Bible, so even though we teach modern Hebrew, people want their kids to understand it and be able to read the Bible." She also says "we hear a lot from our African-American families; they know that Israel is a leader in high-tech and innovation, so they view it as a chance for their kids to come here, learn here."

Industry Expert Expects Junior Uranium Stocks Washout
Commodities / Uranium Jun 22, 2007 - 01:49 AM GMT
By: James_Finch
Yellowcake Mining director Dr. Robert Rich speaks out on NYMEX uranium futures, the upcoming uranium price adjustment, junior uranium companies washing out, and why he believes his company will survive in the years ahead. A long time nuclear energy veteran with a PhD in economic geology from Harvard University, Dr. Rich has been affiliated with BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP), the Japanese conglomerate Sumitomo and Yankee Atomic. He presently resides in Massachusetts.
StockInterview: What are your thoughts on the impact of the recent NYMEX uranium futures on the uranium mining stocks, and will this help bring uranium mining stocks onto Wall Street's radar?
Dr. Robert Rich: I believe the impact of the new NYMEX futures market will have a positive impact on many juniors, but I think it will specifically help those who really are in the business to become producers. I think it will provide options which haven't existed in the past to raise money in a different manner. One should be able to pre-sell output and raise money that way. So, I think it will help the overall uranium production sector.
StockInterview: You serve on the board of directors for Yellowcake Mining. What made you decide to lend your highly regarded name to a small uranium company?
Dr. Robert Rich: I believe in what Yellowcake is trying to accomplish. They have a mid-term goal of becoming a producer and not just someone who explores or spins off property —that sort of thing. I think that their properties are good. Juniper Ridge certainly provides long-term prospects for significant uranium production. There are two smaller properties that we recently acquired rights to also, in Wyoming, that could be near-term producers. We could get them online in 3 or 4 years. Lastly, we are in the process of acquiring properties in Texas that are adjacent to existing operating and highly profitable properties. We think that we will end up, one day, becoming a producer in Texas as well as Wyoming. In addition to offering near-term rewards for shareholders, I think Yellowcake offers a very real prospect of long-term growth.
StockInterview: What do you believe are realistic prospects for Yellowcake Mining?
Dr. Robert Rich: Realistic prospects are to produce at the Sky and Jeep properties in the Gas Hills within 3 or 4 years. There is a total of at least a million and a half pounds at those two ISR deposits. Those are well along in permitting. It's just a matter of doing the work and completing the permitting so we can start ISR recovery there. In the longer run, you'll see output coming from both Juniper Ridge and our Texas properties, which are in process at the moment. I think you could easily see somewhere between one and two million pounds per year being produced in the United States by Yellowcake during the next 5-7 years.
StockInterview: Which one of the company's projects are likely to emerge as the flagship project for Yellowcake?
Dr. Robert Rich: I would have to say Juniper Ridge. Juniper Ridge has a significant resource base already. Based on drilling that was done in the past, we have an aggressive program to do confirmation drilling and also hydrologic test drilling, both for environmental and possible ISR mining information. That property has a lot of room to expand in terms of the amount of resources we expect to have there. We've been adding to our property at Juniper Ridge. Just recently, we've been adding to the claims there because we don't know really where the trends that we know exist within our present property - where they are going. So we are trying to accumulate some margin for error.
StockInterview: So there may be a lot more uranium there?
Dr. Robert Rich: Yes, I think Juniper Ridge has the potential to probably double in resources from what we currently know.
StockInterview: Why should investors consider Yellowcake Mining out of the 500 plus other uranium contenders? What makes Yellowcake different?
Dr. Robert Rich: What makes us different is we have a plan to be one of the survivors after the market adjusts at some point in the future. I think there's going to be a huge wave of consolidation that rolls through the juniors. You are going to see some companies go out of business and others merge or be acquired. You are going to see a resulting big reshuffling of properties. I think because of the quality of the properties we have, and the fact that we'll be a revenue generating company through uranium production and sales, we expect to be there in the future. We expect to be able to pick up the stuff that other people can no longer manage.

Q: Infopath web form - Submit and switch view I have an infopath form that I use as part of a MOSS workflow.
The form has multiple views, and a Save button on each one. What I want to do as part of the Save button's rules, is submit the information and switch to the next view.
I added two rules to the button, one to submit data and another to switch view, but when I re-enter the form, it won't have the information saved.
If I replace the switch view action by a Close Form action, however, when I reenter the form it will have all the fields saved (as expected).
Has anyone run into a similar issue? Any workaround?
My form doesn't have any VB or C# code, so there's nothing to post related to that.

A: I've actually run into similar issues with combining multiple actions with a submit (the submit seems to fire non-deterministically).  I'd highly recommend refactoring the "save" and "switch view" actions into different buttons to avoid these issues.

A: By default infopath will open to the default view. which appears to be happening in your case
It seems that you need to use the tools>form options menu item.  under the open and save category there is a open rules behaviour.  from there you can specify the conditions that you want to switch the view
I am using infopath 2007 but 2003 is very similar.

Amsterdam's Top400 project stigmatises and over-criminalises youths
A critical, in depth report on Top400 – a crime prevention project by the Amsterdam municipality – which targets and polices minors (between the ages of 12 to 23) has emphasised the stigmatising, discriminatory, and invasive effects of the Top400 on youths and their families.
Despite the devastating effects of this project as previously reported, the genuine voices, needs and experiences of youths and their parents are often excluded or ignored.
Sieving through more than 4,000 pages of documents obtained through Freedom of Information requests, the report has revealed insights into the origins, operations, and conflicts of Top400. Under the narrative of crime prevention, the report stresses how this project criminalises anti-social and teenage behaviour, instrumentalises care for crime prevention, and tests new technological approaches such as algorithmic decision-making processes on vulnerable minors and youths.
Data models are utilised to justify and normalise intrusive practices by authorities into minors and their families – these models are neither objective nor neutral, but politically informed, non-static and have a normative effect. These experimentations on data models reveal that rather than crime, it is the political desire to be "tough on crime," and a presumed cost-efficiency which has driven the Top400 programme. In effect, the programme ends up drawing more minors (at an even earlier age) into the criminal justice system under the guise of crime prevention. These ideas have already been echoed in other accounts of predictive policing.
Mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, disagrees, and has stood by the belief that the Top 400 approach is a strong tool for youth crime prevention. The police are currently working on an updated version which focuses on privacy and ethics, involving young people. The plan is to roll out two trials in 2023.
Complex social problems, deeply rooted in a history of over-criminalisation, socio-economic and racial discrimination of certain groups in society, cannot be reduced to quick fixes, and certainly not through the lens of "privacy and ethics". Meaningful, long-term care cannot be substituted by hostile, stigmatising crime prevention strategies, and most certainly not facilitated via the police. Fundamentally, a project such as Top400 should not be in place.

Q: SQL conditional nested query I have query like:
select *
from BASE_TABLE
inner join (
    select * from TABLE_A
) t on BASE_TABLE.ID = t.ID

and want to make nested query conditional, something like:
select *
from BASE_TABLE
inner join (
    if @var = 1
        select * from TABLE_A
    else
        select * from TABLE_B
) t on BASE_TABLE.ID = t.ID

Is it possible?
Query is used inside stored procedure. Solution should work for SQL Server and Oracle or at least for SQL Server.

A: How about this:
SELECT
  *
FROM
  BASE_TABLE
  INNER JOIN (
    SELECT col1, col2, colN FROM TABLE_A WHERE @var IN (1) -- "if"
    UNION
    SELECT col1, col2, colN FROM TABLE_B WHERE @var IN (2) -- "else if"
    UNION
    SELECT col1, col2, colN FROM TABLE_C WHERE @var NOT IN (1, 2) -- "else"
  ) t ON t.ID = BASE_TABLE.ID

A: I would do it like this (but then you need to specify fields; you can't use select * syntax):
select base.ID, base.Field1, base.Etc, Field1 = case when @var=1 then a.Field1 else b.Field1 end,
       Field2 = case when @var=1 then a.Field2 else b.Field2 end
  from BASE_TABLE base
  left join TABLE_A a on base.ID = a.ID
  left join TABLE_B b on base.ID = b.ID

A: please try below query
declare @var int=1
declare @qry nvarchar(max)
set @qry='select * from BASE_TABLE ('
if @var=1
set @qry=@qry+ 'select * from TABLE_A'
else
set @qry=@qry+ 'select * from TABLE_B'

set @qry=@qry+')t on BASE_TABLE.ID = t.ID'

exec (@qry)


hey, just wanted everyone on here to know that you can choose to select this option in your settings if you want to be featured on the lazer.pizza directory. this would allow people who are not currently registered with us, to view a directory of the users who are on here, their activity, and some stats about them. it's also used for interests, but I don't think we have enough users for that yet.


The trainer's style and approach on presentation skills was just right and helped to build on the team's self confidence. The session was well received by everyone attending.
My ramblings today have been prompted by the latest 'cash for something' scandal emerging from Whitehall. I must say, the 'scandal' part has put a smile on my face. Why on earth is anyone surprised? There is always a tory / liberal / labourite (and all the other flavours I can't fit in here…) willing to take some cash for a question, for an honour, or in this case, for a spot of lunch. I make light of it, but it is such an old and hackneyed situation. The breaking 'news' over the weekend is frankly not news. Imagine the headline 'Government runs full term with no scandals'. Now that would be news! Mind you, in reality, it would have to end with the word 'allegedly'.
My point? Leadership and learning are my two points. We know enough, we have enough experience, enough people have made enough mistakes that we don't need stories like this anymore. In 'The Fifth Discipline', Peter Senge describes The Delusion of Learning From Experience. Misguided actions and outbursts from people in positions of leadership need not happen. I think it was Winston Churchill who said it is best to do the right thing. Firstly because it is the right thing. Secondly, because the buggers will find out anyway. Whoever said it, they are right. Businesses, communities, political parties and governments need leaders who learn.

we have found following problem when creating a new part or sheet metal document.
independed what geoemtry You have (a single block, a tab, a cylindar) and which material You select, after updating the physical properties any value keep 0 (zero.
Solid Edge Version is ST9 MP11 and Win10 with Creators Update!
@hawcad, I'm not seeing that. A new part has those properties after I create a feature and update physical properties.
Edit: I don't the have the Win10 Fall Creator's Update though. And I'm on ST10 so this info may be useless.
this is the same what I personall can see.
@hawcad, It turns out, much to my dismay, that some of us do have the Win10 Fall Creator's update, me included.
The mass props are ok but we are seeing the dialog slowdowns in SE. Our networking guys installed the updates last week even though I expressly asked that they not include that one. People!
In October I did install ST10 MP1 on my production desktop with W7 64bit Ultimate with all updates (exceptt W10 push junk) and on my home laptop with updated W10 64bit Pro 1709 with all updates upto KB4058043, except one from today 2018-01-04, KB4066892.
SInce then I have not touched Se, working with my SolidWorks 2017 only.
After installing SE MP3 on both computers and being forced to restart laptop with todays KB4066892 update, reboot etc, results ar the same on the both computers as above.
@milanw, You don't say whether these new parts have any features.
Edit: And I'm confused by your "0" and "0K". Are you meaning zero and zero kilograms or Okay?
Sorry Wolfgang for the typo in your first name, as the slowakische deutsche from Pressburg, on my paternal grandfather side I should know better.
Off course they have features, I pay for Solid Edge continuously since V7.
OK means that I get realistic numerical value for mass.
@milanw, Hey, no offense intended. I don't know you, you didn't say, so I had to ask.

Zoe Saldana On 'Avatar' Character: "The Best Role Ever To Cross My Path"
Written By Majic ATL
VIA: AJC.com
LONDON — Zoe Saldana is having a Neytiri moment.
Like the warrior princess she plays in "Avatar," the sci-fi epic hitting theaters today, Saldana becomes visibly agitated when she doesn't like something. She's tired of being asked whether people will recognize her as Neytiri, a 10-foot-tall alien with radiant blue skin, flirtatious feline ears and a level of cinematic detail unseen in previous computer-generated characters.
"It's me," Saldana said, with more than a hint of annoyance. "I don't know how else to answer that. I put everything in there."
If Neytiri is Saldana, she's also a lot more — an extreme specimen of computer animation distilled from a live-action performance. To create the aliens in "Avatar," the cast acted on a bare stage while wired into performance-capture suits and headgear. Prior performance-capture films have left audiences underwhelmed, as with "Beowulf" or the much-panned "Disney's 'A Christmas Carol.' " But "Avatar" represents a great leap forward for the technology and the viewer's experience, enhanced by jaw-dropping 3-D visuals. The idea of pushing the envelope, Saldana says, is part of what made filming "Avatar" worth the extra effort.
"It was hard at first," she said of the suits and helmets, "but once we understood the technology and got used to the physicality of it, it was the most liberating thing. I almost feel like this technology is going to challenge the way we view films and the way we view actors."
Indeed, director James Cameron first conceived of "Avatar" 15 years ago but waited until filmmaking technology could catch up with his imagination. The final product cost more than $250 million and involved creating a new system of cameras and motion-capture systems.
In the film, Cameron remixes several ideas from his own canon: lifelike extraterrestrials ("Aliens"), heavy artillery ("Terminator") and a pair of star-crossed lovers ("Titanic"), all set in an environment that's exotic and deadly. The action takes place in 2154 on Pandora, a jungle-covered moon in the Alpha Centauri system, where human negotiations with the aboriginal aliens have turned violent. In a stroke of public relations genius, the Earthlings interact with the locals using genetically engineered "avatars," bodies identical to the alien Na'vi but controlled by the consciousness of a human.
Saldana's Neytiri plays a sort of Pocahontas for Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former Marine new to the avatar program. It falls on Neytiri to teach Jake the Na'vi customs and language, which Cameron created with the help of a linguistics professor.
"Zoe was the first one to really have to learn the language," the director said. "As she owned the language, then everyone else had to match her accent and her pronunciation."
Saldana, whose parents are native Spanish speakers, says she picked up the Na'vi tongue easily but found English with a Na'vi accent difficult.
"It was harder than anything," she said. "The martial arts, the kicking, the archery, the riding the horse without a saddle — that was all a piece of cake!"
Preparing for the role required months of physical training, including an intensive course in wushu, a martial arts discipline Jet Li is known for. Saldana says it helped define the grace and agility of the Na'vi, who navigate the tangled forests of Pandora with catlike ease. Even though Neytiri is the daughter of the tribal chief, she's also a skilled hunter and ferocious fighter. Then again, Cameron is known for featuring tough, buffed women in his films.
"I saw 'Terminator,' I think, when I was 6 years old," Saldana said. "I wanted to be Sarah Conner. I wanted to be Ellen Ripley [in 'Aliens'] more than any fairy tale princess."
Working alongside the real Ripley, Sigourney Weaver, was a dream come true. Weaver plays no-nonsense scientist Grace Augustine, the head of Pandora's avatar program. Though "Avatar" features several female characters who function beyond the clichés of Hollywood, Saldana bemoans the lack of roles written for powerful women today. Science fiction, she says, is a notable exception.
"I wish there were more genres in which women could have more opportunities to be presented as what we are," she said. "We're complex creatures, we're very intricate, we also have journeys. We can be the heroes and we can save everyone. We can also be vulnerable, and we can be saved as well, all in one person."
The 31-year-old actress got her break in 2002's "Drumline" (partially filmed in Atlanta) and starred as Lt. Uhura in J.J. Abrams' blockbuster "Star Trek" this year. A "Star Trek" sequel is already in the works. Saldana says that next time around, she's hoping for a more physical Uhura, one who gets to throw some punches.
Cameron says he envisions "Avatar" to be the first chapter in an ongoing saga, determined, of course, by how well the film performs. With any luck, Saldana may find herself starring in science-fiction franchises for several years to come. That thought doesn't bother her in the least.
"Just look at what [science fiction] did for Sigourney," she said.
But unlike Neytiri, Ripley was not a CG animation. Saldana admits that the idea of her own face and body never appearing in "Avatar" did bother her, but only for "about two nanoseconds."
"It is a human condition for us to be prone to vanity — especially actors," she said. "But I feel this role has been the best role ever to cross my path. … When I see Neytiri, I actually see me, in its entirety."

That may be true for some, even most members of the U.S. military, but not all. Starting with Republican President and former Allied Commander Dwight D.

Eisenhower and his vice-president, Richard M.

I finished two more quilts. These two for a lady who lives in South Carolina. They are just alike. These match a quilt I quilted for her quite some time ago. She's making pillows with these. She wanted the same quilting design I used for her quilt. I was happy to do that.
On the plain blocks I did a feather design.
On the pieced center block I did a leaf design.
On the setting triangles I did a wacky feather design. It's sort of a cross between a feather and a leaf.

Now that those are done, I'll be mailing them home this week. Hmm…. maybe, just maybe, I've got a day for a "me" project before I start on the next quilt. If I get started right now I should be able to finish it today.
Anita, I do hope you get some time to work on your own quilting project after finishing your customer quilt. I love seeing the quilting on the back too–of course, the quilting is my favorite part!
Yes, thank you Dora, I did work on a "me" project. It's still not finished though. I set it aside for the next "me" day.

Systemic leukocyte filtration during cardiopulmonary bypass
Fabbri, A.; Manfredi, J.; Piccin, C.; Soffiati, G.; Carta, M.; Gasparotto, E.; Nardon, G.
Perfusion;Mar2001 Supplement 1, Vol. 16, p11
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces a whole body inflammatory response leading to postoperative lung dysfunction. Activated leukocytes may play a role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary dysfunction. We evaluated postoperative lung function after the use of leukocyte-depleting filters incorporated in the extracorporeal circuit during CPB. From November 1997 to March 2000, 40 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients were randomly allocated to the leukocyte-depletion group (group F, 20 patients) or to the control group (group C, 20 patients). There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to age, sex, weight, height, body surface area, haemoglobin and haematocrit levels, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, cooling temperature, aortic crossclamping and CBP duration. Blood samples were drawn preoperatively, at aortic declamping, 60 min after CPB, after arriving at the intensive care unit (ICU) and 24 h after the operation. We analysed blood cell count, elastase, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) levels and continuous monitoring of arterial blood gases in the intensive care unit (ICU). The analysis of total circulating white blood cells (WBCs) showed a significant reduction of WBCs in both groups soon after aortic declamping [from the right atrium: 6.4 × 10[sup 9]/l ± 1.4 × 10[sup 9]/l in group F vs 10.3 ± 1.8 × 10[sup 9]/l in group C (p<0.05); from the left atrium: 5.8 ± 1.3 × 10[sup 9]/l in group F vs 8.4 ± 1.9 × 10[sup 9]/l in group C (p<0.05)] and after 60 min of CPB [7.1 ± 2.2 × 10[sup 9]/l in group F vs 10.4 ± 1.8 × 10[sup 9]/l in group C (p<0.05)]. The analysis of circulating neutrophils showed similar findings in both groups. Elastase levels increased during CPB in both groups with a peak at the end of CPB without significant difference between the two groups (group C: 260 ± 148 μg/l vs group F: 371 ± 68 μg/l). The decrease of plasmatic elestase levels was observed, for both groups, in the 24 h after CPB. There was no difference in intubation time between the two groups (16.4 h for group C vs 11.2 h for group F). Pulmonary function tested by pulmonary respiratory index [RI = partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO[sub 2]/FiO[sub 2] × 100)] did not show significant difference between the two groups, either arriving in the ICU (group C RI 265 vs group F RI 322), or after 3 h (group RI 304 vs group F RI 305) or after 6 h (group C RI 292 vs group F RI 319). Leukocyte-depleting filters reduce with blood cells count during CPB, but, in this study, WBC depletion did not significantly improve clinical conditions or laboratory finding.

Home > Case Studies > Princes Avenue, Liverpool
Princes Avenue, Liverpool
Artwork Title: The Riot Revival
Designer(s): BCA Landscape
Contractors: North Midland Construction
In 2020, the historic boulevard at Princes Avenue in Toxteth underwent a dramatic transformation. The project, part of a redevelopment scheme; Sustainable Transport Enhancement Package (STEP), included the creation of a cycle lane through the centre of the Toxteth boulevard along a main route from the city into South Liverpool.
On behalf of Liverpool City Council and Toxteth Community, Hardscape worked collaboratively with BCA Landscape to design, develop and create a new look boulevard that includes public art with unique installations designed through community consultation and manufactured and produced at IP Surfaces. Each installation references key aspects of L8's rich community and religious heritage and the legacy of Liverpool's role as a major port city.
The creative elements include an etching of an 1800's Toxteth map on an 'L' sculptured granite block to accompany an already existing '8' sculpture; a 'Princes Boulevard' plinth with bronze strips and painted elements; bronze inlays with three separate Nelson Mandela quotes; artwork etched in to the paving which includes a 'welcome mat' with bronze insets. Also, at the start of the boulevard is an empty plinth, with a plaque explaining the city's role in the slave trade, Huskisson's support of slavery and why the statue was removed which once held a statue of William Huskisson. It was removed in the 1980's by activists in L8 due to Huskisson's links to the slave trade. Also, there is an art installation on the floor in front of a tree representing the South African Tree of Life.
Implementing a variety of IP Surfaces texturing techniques, Hardscape collaborated with the design team and contractor to maintain the itinerary and timeline of the construction programme. The main challenges came from redesigning two junctions which meant that the granite design and procurement had to be produced in stages, with overlapping areas that required acute management of materials and programme procurement.
The history of Toxteth is now celebrated and openly shared via the various artworks which were developed with residents, local groups and schools as a result of the public engagement process. What now remains is a galvanising location for outdoor activities and community events. The most positive impact has been the strong relationships developed between residents and Liverpool City Council. There is a now a new level of trust and respect for the Council from the local residents for recognising the benefits a scheme like this can provide for the community.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Looking for a non candy kids valentine idea? I have been trying to be a little creative each year with my kid's school valentines. This is a craft idea that you or your child can do because it is an easy printable! Squishies are all the rage in our house so I thought, why not create something that my children's whole class would enjoy! Plus I have made it into an easy, cute printable that you can enjoy with your loved ones too.
I remember handing out valentines in school. You spent the day making a box to keep them in. There are so many creative boxes now. When I was in school it was just a shoebox and I think the most creative that I ever saw was someone made a mailbox. That's what I love about Pinterest because you can find so much inspiration. Last year, my daughter and I made her a unicorn valentine box.
To make these valentines, it is very simple. I simply purchase these squishy 40 count that I found on Amazon, but if you need less, then you can find smaller lots with better deals. I have two children in school now, so this should cover both of their classes.
Boy and girls a like love squishies. And in this set it included bunny, ducks, cats, pandas, and even sharks! What I love about shopping for little trinkets like this on Amazon, you can find so many different styles and types of different things to choose from which makes finding a unique gift a breeze.
The type of squishies are bought are not foam, but made from high quality TPR material, can be rinsed with water directly when they are dirty. Just use a little soap to wash it for a few minutes and dirt wash off. If you are looking for foam squishies, then I found this 30 count for a great deal.
If you would like to printable the individual card, click the image below.
There are multiple ways you could apply the labels.
1. Cut them out, fold them over, and staple/tape them. Find that 9 count printable HERE.
2. Cut them out and tape them. Find that 12 count printable HERE.
3. If you have thick card stock, then you can attach the sticky to the top of the printable.
On the line you can add: "From: Your child's name", "Love, Your child's name", or what ever else you would like.
I like to put these together with my daughter. We enjoy crafting together and she loves giving little, sweet gifts to her friends. These squishies are the perfect, creative valentine gift for boys or girls alike. If you liked or used this printable, please let me know in the comments below.
Do your kids hand out valentines?
If you liked this post, check out the posts below!
Super cute! Thanks for sharing at The Clever Chicks!
Love this idea! Going to use it for my class gifts for Valentine's day. Thanks!


Shows at late nights have brought politics head-on, particularly in later years, with The Hulu Daily Show giving service as the queen of the kingdom for most of its post-Killborn time. Together with Donald Trumps as the President currently, an individual would suppose the thirst for that type of show is even more spoken out (between certain statistics). However, in case that one person who is looking for The Daily Show at its streaming-concentrated second base at Hulu will be upset, as a primary agreement expiration means this long series will in no time entirely disappear from the service.
To be more clear, the reason for this disappearance is explainable. A broad licensing agreement between Hulu and Comedy Central parent Viacom has closed and Viacom is currently drawing its content from the streaming services. The performance like the "@midnight" has soon already unseen from Hulu completely, while the rest catalog episodes from such programs like Hulu Daily Show and the other shows from Viacom net like Logo and so on are arranged to be closed soon.
This might seem like a biting and extremely clear answer. However, it is originally the only answer at this time, since The Daily Show may take a time to catch sights of a new home on any independent streaming services. Comedy Central's parent company, Viacom, possessed an agreement going with Hulu which brought a broad number of series below its wing, definitely containing The Daily Show. As soon as that agreement closed recently, new episodes of the chat shows at nights paused broadcasting in daily lineups of Hulu, together with all previous episodes will soon be cleared. Plenty of other Comedy Central blockbusters like Chappelles's Show and so on are already gone away, so it isn't only the fans of Hulu Daily Show in Hulu's follower base that demand to begin heading to Comedy Central's official site to stream new parts.
We have once witness agreement troubles like this before. However, this seems to be a bit various, since Variety reports Viacom's CEO Bob Bakish spoke during a latter meeting call that the firm will take its concentration away from cooperations with SVOD suppliers to cope more straighly with streaming bundle services from areas like Sling TV, which is nearer to how stuff already used with cable and satellite firms. It is an increasing tendency, with lesser large money syndication deals taking place on linear TV. This has affected the number of money SVOD services are carrying out for exclusive rights to performances. Performances like Key and Peele and so on have noninclusive one-off agreements. Thus, they will remain at Hulu. Nonetheless, the Hulu Daily Show is not in that case.
Bakish's confirmed target is to build up the pay television ecological. This particularly means that the firm is demanding to earn more money by putting its whole pay-TV bundle for sale. He continued to praise new entrances like DirecTV Now and so on as motivation for alteration. However, the message was clarified: Going straight, Viacom demands to double down on its bundle and insists on being more picky with SVOD licensing agreements. This also means that the Hulu Daily Show and the other shows are taken off currently and they will not come back on the service soon.
Amusingly, those new internet television entrances also contain Hulu. And Hulu is arranged to release its pay TV service in the upcoming months. Hulu has told that it demands to impose users for $40 for a base package. The firm has officially informed cooperations with CBS, Disney, Turner, and Fox for its live TV service. However, it has yet to think whether it demands Comedy Central and other networks of Viacom take park in its bundle.
In case of being charged for $40 per base package, one has to think about whether Hulu can make these numbers be profitable given that it contains Viacom's package of 20+ networks. In addition, Hulu would not be lonely to bring up a slim bundle without its parent.

Multi factor authentication access control for student and staff based on RFID, barcode and GIS
Simukali, Consuela Moono
University of Zambia like most Public Universities and Higher Learning Institutions in Zambia have a challenge preventing unauthorized access into their campus environment. There is no automatic identification of all who enter or exit the campus facilities. No audit trail or record is kept for visitors who enter the campus. This makes it a challenge to protect the organisations' assets such as information, personal property, staff and students. Members of Staff, Students and Visitors of the University have lost and continue to lose belongings such as laptops and cars. This study proposes an Access Control and Visitor Real Time Tracking System to improve the level of security on the campus. A baseline study was conducted to measure the level of security at the University using questionnaires that were designed based on ISO 27002 Standard for Physical and Environmental Security. The results of this baseline study show that the University's security is porous. The findings also revealed that more than ninety percent of the respondents were victims of theft or have known of a victim of theft whilst on campus. Data was collected from 200 students, 120 members of staff ten of which are from the University of Zambia's (UNZA) security office. Based on the results from the baseline study a model Access Control and Real Time Tracking system was to designed to control all who enter and exit the campus. The designed model was based on RFID, Biometrics, Barcode and GIS. The RFID, Biometrics, and Barcode Technologies are designed as an identification and authentication mechanism of people entering and exiting the campus. The study focused on developing a real time visitor tracking system using GIS and GPS Results from the real time tracking system show that a visitor's movement and geographical location was known. A record of past visits could also be reviewed. This research is expected to allow the University have control of who accesses the University premises and ensure visitors are recorded and access only facilities they are allowed to.

Magpie contains over 500+ bitesize content pieces that cover 40 base competencies from expertly curated, high-quality public domain sources such as Harvard Business Review, TED and Forbes and many more.
Marc Zao-Sanders, CEO of Filtered, says: "It's becoming increasingly important to firms that employees are engaged and happy. Learning is an important driver and indicator of engagement and happiness. And that's why we're excited about this partnership with Perkbox which brings the right content to the right employees to inform and inspire, open minds and realise opportunities."
Saurav Chopra, CEO of Perkbox says: "With employees spending only 5 minutes a day learning without interruption, finding time at work to dedicate to learning is clearly a challenge. Imagine what could be achieved if everyone spent only 10 more minutes more a day learning new things...We're excited to be partnering with magpie to make 'learning on the go' as simple as possible for our users. We hope it will improve this statistic and get more employers and employees motivated and engaged in improving their learning trajectory."
More about magpie is available via Filtered's website.


In these courses I've developed and facilitate an experiential and creative process of working with stories, both our own, and folktales and myths from around the world, through which we become aware of the range of stories we tell ourselves, and how they affect everything we do, and don't do.
This work has developed out of my thirty years of working with storytelling performance and creativity, and is also informed by The Three Principles 'Inside Out' understanding. I've spent my life exploring where reality and imagination meet, and the Storywheel Courses are a culmination of this journey.
I also write, tell and dramatise stories, usually underpinned with folkloric or mythical themes.
Performances and workshops have taken place in theatres, arts centres, stately homes, museums, galleries, schools, universities, festivals, parks, community centres, hotels and bookshops.
In the last few years, I've been working with audio, film and projection. Alone and with partners in crime, I've been heading out into local communities to hear and record stories. With the teller's permission, these may then find themselves interwoven with other tales, on film or as live performance (sometimes both together), exploring particular themes. Recent collaborations have been: "In Skriker's Footsteps" with wonderfully talented artists: sculptor, Marjan Wouda, film maker Graham Kay, and theatre projectionist and animator Adam York Gregory, and "Where We Land", with Musician/Composer Lee Affen and film maker Graham Kay. Whatever else these pieces may be about, they always explore the meeting places of story, people and place.
"In Skriker's Footsteps" is a multi-media storytelling show that has its heart in Lancashire and the supernatural tales that criss cross its landscape. It has been performed in various venues across the county.
Click Here for a video clip and more information.
This short film was made for the touring art exhibition "The King of the Cats". It's a collection of contemporary ghost stories, as told to me in pubs, cafes and front rooms across the county, mixed with old tales from Lancashire that resonate with those that I heard.


My One Monthly Goal for August was to complete a block-of-the-month quilt. I started this is 2015 and then work on it stopped when I decided it wasn't going to the originally planned recipients. My nephew got married in a small ceremony in July, 2016 right before I had surgery on my shoulder. I'm slowly getting back on track completing larger quilts and thought this would be a good gift for the (somewhat) newlyweds. When I put the finished top on my bed, I was tempted to keep it. I even showed the picture to my sister to confirm whether or not her son and daughter-in-law would like it and was more than a little disappointed when she said they would love it. But I know this will go to people who appreciate it, and it's perfect for their home on the coast of California.
I'm linking up with Elm Street Quilts. It's always fun to see what others accomplish during the month.
My new sewing room furniture was delivered last Monday afternoon. I was itching to get everything back into the room and organized, but we left Tuesday morning for a quick trip to see our daughter in upstate New York. We got home late Thursday and I was booked on Friday. So the room is not quite ready for pictures, but it's slowly coming together.
While we were in New York, we took a trip to Glens Falls to see the Hyde Museum. The most interesting part to us was the former home of Louis Hyde and his wife. They were art collectors who had a Rembrandt hanging in the library and Renoirs in the bedrooms. I was delighted to see this embroidered panel from Germany in the 19th century. It was done with silk and metallic threads on linen.
The day was capped off with a concert by the fabulous Philadelphia Orchestra and fireworks at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs.

Q: Converting a Scala Iterable[T] to an Option[Iterable[S]], populated if ALL the T are instances of S? I have a vague feeling that such a method could exist (possibly in Cats?) - the purpose would be to turn an Iterable[T] (or Set[T] is what I'm actually interested in) into an Option[Iterable[S]] - the result being:

*

*Some[Iterable[S]] : if all entries in the Iterable[T] were an instance of S

*None : if any entries in the Iterable[T] were NOT an instance of S
I know there's a sort-of-similar method already available in Cats, granted by Alternative - it's separate:
import cats.implicits._
import alleycats.std.set._

val stringsAndInts: Set[Either[String, Int]] = Set(Right(6),Left("Foo"))
val (strings: Set[String], ints: Set[Int]) = stringsAndInts.separate

...that works nicely for a Set[Either[A,B] - but for this question I'm just interested in any old Set[T].
What about collect?
This code using the Scala standard library method collect will compile - but note that it will always produce a Set[S] - even if some of the setOfT weren't instances of S:
val setOfT: Set[T] = ???
val setOfS: Set[S] = setOfT.collect {case s: S => s}

A: Consider shapeless type safe cast
import shapeless._
import syntax.typeable._

val xs: Set[Any] = Set("picard", "worf")

xs.cast[Set[Int]]
// res1: Option[Set[Int]] = None

xs.cast[Set[String]]
// res2: Option[Set[String]] = Some(value = Set("picard", "worf"))

If you wish similar power to collect and already have cats on classpath then here is one-liner
import alleycats.std.set._
animals.map(implicitly[ClassTag[Dog]].unapply).sequence

which types to Option[Set[Dog]].

A: As Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez points out in his comment, a method like the one I want isn't possible for arbitrary types, due to type-erasure.
In the end, I wrote code like this:
val animals: Set[Animal] = ???
val optDogs: Option[Set[Dog]] = animals.foldLeft(Option(Set.empty[Dog])) {
  case (oDogs, dog: Dog) => oDogs.map(_ + dog)
  case _ => None
}

...would be happy to see better implementations though!


These places can confuse, disorient, relax and redirect us. They can be traditionally sacred places like a church, or wild and untamed like a jungle. Sometimes we have to sweat to get there, other times we can just take a taxi.
But what makes all these places "thin" is that they jolt us out of our old ways of seeing the world and transform us— an idea that struck a chord with world traveler and FMS' executive director Kim Smolik.
In her opening address at the annual World Care Benefit and Celebration, Kim shared her own "thin places" and talked about how mission itself is a "thin" experience.
So, we want to know: Where are your thin places?


Not as a good of a warmup as the grade suggest. Finger intensive. Start on the jug and climb up and slightly left and a series of scoops of various sizes. An enormous hueco waits for you on the other side of the lip. Throw for it and it doesn't matter how you hit it. You're going to stay. Mantel up and over for a satisfying finish.

Lady Gaga's been named Billboard's Woman of The Year for 2015. Gaga will be honoured with the award at a special Women In Music event in New York City in December. It is the tenth year that the awards have taken place. Previous winners of the Woman of The Year accolade include Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Beyonce. It is seen as 'you have made' it award, securing the winner a place in the history books. However, Lady Gaga has been on the go for years and it seems like a delayed response to her success considering this is one of the quietest years of her career.
Lady Gaga has stepped away from the sensationalism that she once drove and is turning her focus on understated vocals. The star is due to release music in 2016 following her last album ARTPOP that was less successful than previous records. She tweeted how grateful she was and thanked Billboard for granting her the honour.
Lady GaGa is set to star in the much anticipated American Horror Story Hotel series. This will be her acting debut, she got the part my fan girling the show. They invited her to star in the latest series when they heard how much she loved the previous series'.

Lidar system spots 'tallest tree' in the tropics
At almost 90m, a Yellow Meranti is the tallest jungle tree ever discovered in reforestation research project.
Tree-mendous; an airborne lidar spotted the giant Yellow Meranti.
An 89.5m (293 foot) tall tree, equivalent in height to a column of 65 people standing on top of each other, has been discovered in Malaysia by conservation scientists using a laser-based system to monitor the impact of human activity on the biodiversity of a pristine rainforest.
The tree, a Yellow Meranti (familiar to Minecraft players, who can create entire jungles of the variety) was spotted by a aircraft-borne lidar system an area of forest known as "Sabah's Lost World" in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area, one of Malaysia's last few untouched wildernesses. Its height pips the previous record-holder, an 88.3m example, found in the Tawau Hills National Park.
The giant tree was discovered during reconnaissance flights by conservation scientists from the UK's University of Cambridge working with the Sabah Forestry Department to help protect the area's biodiversity. It comes at a crucial time, as the Sabah government takes measures to protect and restore heavily logged areas in the region.
Shadows and tall trees: in "Sabah's Lost World" in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area.
Measuring a tree's exact height is problematic when the tree is quite possibly the tallest tree in the Tropics. The only way is to climb it, and to take a tape measure. This is precisely what Unding Jami, an expert tree-climber from Sabah, did recently. When he reached the top, he confirmed the tree's height and texted, "I don't have time to take photos using a good camera because there's an eagle around that keeps trying to attack me and also lots of bees flying around."
The tree actually stands on a slope: downhill it measures 91m tall, and uphill 88m. "We'd put it at 89.5m on average," said lead researcher Dr David Coomes, from Cambridge's Department of Plant Sciences. "It's slightly taller than the previous record, which makes it quite probably the tallest tree recorded in the Tropics."
He added, "At this height, the tree is roughly equivalent to the height of 65 people standing on each other's shoulders, or 20 double-decker buses. It's just a few meters short of London's Big Ben clock tower. Trees in temperate regions, like the giant redwoods, can grow up to 30m taller; yet around 90m seems to be the limit in the Tropics. No-one yet knows why this should be the case," added Coomes.
How high? Downhill the Yellow Meranti is 91m tall; uphill it's only 88m tall.
The tree was spotted using a LiDAR scanner – a laser-based analyzer that produces detailed three-dimensional images of rainforest canopies over hundreds of square kilometers. Its laser range finder hangs from the undercarriage of the research plane, scanning the forest with 200,000 laser pulses every second, and calculating distances in 3D from each reflected pulse. The researchers then "stitch" the images together, enabling them to map the forest tree by tree.
Threatened by habitat loss, the Yellow Meranti (Shorea faguetiana) is classified as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's "Red list", the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species.
"Interestingly, there may be more of this tree in cyberspace than in the world. It's one of the trees that players can grow in the computer game Minecraft," said Coomes. "Conserving these giants is really important. Some, like the California redwoods, are among the largest and longest-living organisms on earth. Huge trees are crucial for maintaining the health of the forest and its ecology. But they are difficult to find, and monitor regularly, which is where planes carrying LiDAR can help."
Faraway tree: Unding Jami, an expert climber from Sabah, confirmed its height in person.
Globally, around one billion hectares of degraded forest might be restorable, enabling then to continue to contribute to the planet's biodiversity and its carbon and water cycles. However, a major problem faced by conservation managers is how to survey extensive areas in which conditions can vary in just a few hundred square metres and are continually changing through natural regeneration. "LiDAR scanning together with digital photography and hyperspectral scanners now provide us with unprecedented information on the state of the forest," explains Coomes.
With funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Cambridge scientists worked with the Sabah Forestry Department, the South-East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership and the NERC Airborne Remote Sensing Facility.
"The Sabah government is extremely proud of this discovery, which lays credence to the fact that our biodiversity is of global importance," said Sam Mannan, Director of the Sabah Forestry Department. "Our international collaboration, as in this case, has brought great scientific dividends to the state and we shall continue to pursue such endeavours."
Coomes concluded, "The discovery of this particular tree comes at a critical moment because, set against a backdrop of decades of forest loss, the Sabah government has decided to protect and restore a huge tract of heavily logged forest just to the east of the Maliau Basin. It's exciting to know that these iconic giants of the forest are alive and well so close to this major restoration project."

Sunny Haven
Events Visitors Membership About Contact
My body is far from perfect. Will people make fun of me?
It's quite possible that no one has the perfect body. And while some bodies are more beautiful than others, nudism isn't a beauty contest. Just as in the clothed world, there are all kinds of bodies in nudism. Body acceptance is at the root of nudism...you'll learn that while not perfect, your body is as acceptable as all others when you experience social nudism.
My wife/girlfriend is hesitant. How do I get her to visit with me?
There is no simple answer to this question as obviously different people have different reasons for not wanting to experience nudism, just as there are different reasons to try social nudism. The answer is to correct misconceptions in most cases. And with nudism, most objections can easily be reasons for participating in the lifestyle, when looked at from the nudist perspective.
The American Association for Nude Recreation has a great brochure "From a Woman's Perspective" to share with your wife or girlfriend. See if she would be willing to visit without pressure to be nude on the initial visit.
Please don't let nudism become a source of conflict. Our ideals are family based, and family is far more important than being nude at Sunny Haven.
What if I get "physically excited"?
You'll find that it seldom happens in a typical nudist environment. As erections aren't acceptable or polite in social nudist society, should on a rare occurrence you experience an erection, just cover with a towel or conceal it until it goes away. Absolutely -- don't flaunt it!
How old are the people who come to Sunny Haven?
All ages! While we've never taken a survey to find the actual average age of members and visitors at Sunny Haven, it's likely to be 40-45. Though we've had members from a few days old to in their 90s. So, the real answer is...all ages!
How do children react to nudity?
Young children find delight in being nude. Young children know what adults discovering nudism find out again--that it's fun, free and comfortable. Older children quickly adapt and enjoy all the recreational opportunities of the park.
Why participate in nude recreation?
Because it's fun and it's healthy. Body acceptance is a powerful concept and a key to self-acceptance and the acceptance of others. Whether relaxing, playing sports or socializing, the nudist experience is a positive one both mentally and physically.
Is nudity offensive?
We don't think so. If you do, we would like you to reconsider. We believe that the human body in its natural state cannot be offensive or shameful, that it is essentially wholesome.
Isn't nudity sexual?
Nudism isn't any more and quite possibly less sexual than life in general. Nudism is about being nude when practical, not about sex. It's about body acceptance, physicality, spirituality and aesthetics. Nudism in general can be quite sensual--just think about the sensations of bathing your body in the air, sun and water. But nudism is not in itself sexual.
Do I have to undress right away?
Sunny Haven is a nudist park...a place where people come to be socially nude.
If one person of a couple is hesitant to disrobe on an initial visit, that would be okay. We believe that the comfort of Sunny Haven would make participation easy in a short time.
Do I have to be nude all the time?
While Sunny Haven is a nudist park, there are certainly times when being clothed is appropriate (or recommended or at times even required). In general, however, nudity is the correct state of being at all times when health, weather and safety allow while in the common and recreational areas of the park.
Do you look at each other? I don't think I would be comfortable in a conversation.
It's okay to look. It's not okay to gawk or stare. (Pretty much the same as in the clothed world if you think about it.) And therein lies the answer to how to talk and interact with others. It's just the same as in the clothed world.
To understand this, realize that nudity is the norm in our world. Just as you don't think about others or yourself being clothed in the clothed world...you will soon give no thought in regard to others or yourself being nude.
Are there other nudist parks or clubs in the area? How do I find nudist parks, clubs and beaches?
This area of the country is rich in nudist history and we are within a couple of hours drive to five other nudist or clothing optional parks. There is a total of eight nudist parks in the state of Indiana alone. Most of them are members of the American Association for Nude Recreation, affiliated with its Midwest Division.
What if I run into someone I know?
Chances are that they will be just as nude as you....and quite comfortable with nude recreation (unless it's their first visit too). They'll likely be glad to see you. Conversation will be easy... you have something to talk about: a common interest in nude recreation.
What should we bring with us?
Bring the same things you would take to a visit to a clothed park or beach except a bathing suit: hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, towels, something to read, something to play with (Frisbee, volleyball), camping supplies, if you're camping.
Isn't all that exposure to the sun dangerous?
Some sun exposure is quite likely good for us. But certainly, overexposure isn't a good thing. Shade or suntan lotion takes care of that. If you think about it, while nude we don't expose a lot more than we do when in a bathing suit anyway. So, the only difference is you'll use a little bit more suntan lotion.

How to Check If Someone is in Jail in California
Search Directory To Find Name, Addresses & Phone Numbers
Leave a Comment / Information / By Elias Thompson
There are two ways to find out if someone is in jail in California. The first method involves using the CDCR website. You must agree to the disclaimer and add the inmate's information. The inmate's inmate number and last name are required. Middle names are optional, but they can help narrow down your search. Once you have the correct information, you can proceed to look up the inmate.
Using VINELink
If you're wondering if someone you know is in jail in California, then you've come to the right place. The official website of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or DCR, provides information on inmates and their current status. The website updates every 15 minutes or twice a day, depending on the level of jail activity. If the information you're seeking is not updated by 15 minutes, you should call the jail to inquire about the status of the offender's custody.
Using VINELink is simple: all you need to do is go to the site and choose the state and facility of the offender. You'll then be prompted to enter the Offender Identification Number (OIN), Full Last Name, and First Name. From there, you can register to receive notifications when someone changes their custody status. This can save you time and frustration later on.
Searching county jails
If you're wondering how to search county jails in California, you're not alone. California has some of the most expansive prison systems in the country, and inmates there are no different than those in any other state. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) manages state and county jails. Whether you're looking for a specific inmate or a complete list, these websites can help you find out who's in custody.
You can search the database of county jails in California by name or by inmate number. You can also search California state prisons, county jails, and federal facilities using phone numbers and direct website links. This method is fast and convenient, and it's easy to find someone's inmate records in California. It doesn't matter if they were arrested on drug possession, theft, or other crimes, it's easy to look up anyone's information with a simple search.
Note: You can also check the California free white pages
Searching federal prisons
If you are interested in knowing who is incarcerated in a Federal prison in California, you have several options. You can search for inmates by name, birth year, and BOP register number. You can also search by race, gender, and age. Be sure not to mix up the BOP register number and NYSID, as this will result in inaccurate results. You can also perform a search by inmate's name to avoid wasting your time.
If you are wondering how to search federal prisons in California, you can do so by entering the inmate's CDCR number or last name. You can further refine your search by entering the inmate's first or middle name. You can also narrow down the results by using the inmate's date of birth. Another option is to call the prison and ask for information on the inmate. However, this method is time-consuming.
Obtaining inmate information
The state of California has a database that allows anyone to obtain information about an inmate's release date from their local jail. The database, known as VINELink, is maintained by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. However, it is important to note that the Department can deny you access to the database if you don't have permission from the offender. Fortunately, obtaining inmate information in jail in California is still fairly easy.
Most county and municipal jails in California keep lists of inmates online. To obtain inmate information from a California jail, first determine the county in which you want to conduct your search. Next, navigate to the Sheriff's or Police Department's section of the county's website. From there, you can find contact information for the jail and information about visiting inmates. Otherwise, you may need to contact the jail's administrator.
