I made this skirt one night and wore it the next. I found some dark yellow knit that was shimmery and decided it was worth a try. What a great gamble. I wore this for Christmas mass and then again on New Years. The pattern (and the fabric) were that versatile. I can see myself making a few of these skirts for work, an easy way to dress up and still feel as comfy as can be.


Lying in between a pair of lakes of Brandenburg, the sports and education center Lindow offers its sports facilities to classes and squad athletes for training camp or compact courses in physical education. Lodging and provisioning are available through the integrated Hotel. Among multipurpose gymnasiums, natural and artificial grass pitches, beach volleyball fields and tennis courts an indoor swimming pool is also available. In that swimming pool, CONTEMPLAS installed a state of the art video analysis system.
To ensure an up to date analysis an existing system had to be replaced. Our client had preferred the integration into the already available structural works. Four of the latest cameras have been incorporated into a recording unit; three of those were installed under the water line. In order to easily switch between the examiners, the handling of the software should be kept as simple as possible. The mobile measuring station is connected to a server system gathering the data and providing access to it via every analysis stations in the building. Additionally, coaches have the option of exporting the data to external storage for take away. Server storage allows for reaccessing older trials for comparison when coaches come back for another training camp.
CONTEMPLAS took a key position in the evaluation of the already available structural conditions in order to avoid severe physical alterations. Outdated CAT5 cables had to be replaced by CAT6 to deliver the greater data traffic produced by the newer camera models. For recording of the high resolution/high framerate videos a state of the art personal computer was tailored. The incorporation of the TEMPLO server system into the available facility networking, the installation of cameras in combination with high humidity and temperature of the special environment were additional challenges CONTEMPLAS had to overcome. To avoid fogging and corrosion, the cameras were installed behind portholes and the measuring station was encased and connected via WiFi.
Cameras are connected via GigE vision and provide a video format of 2048x1024 pixels at 50 frames per second. Power is supplied over the same gigabit ethernet cable, which makes additional power wiring unnecessary and different lenses were chosen for the various points of interest of each camera.
Rapid video feedback to the athlete is now available through a 24" fullHD flatscreen. Furthermore, communication between computer, screens and controls is solved wireless to ensure the mobility of the station.
The connection of the TEMPLO system to the facility servers offers remote maintenance by CONTEMPLAS headquarters. In case of any software issues, our support is capable of addressing it by remote access.
Coaches have been impressed by the convenience and the image quality of the system and have appreciated the option of export and take away of the data as well as the server storage of trials for subsequent monitoring of training progress. With this system, CONTEMPLAS fortified the position of the sports and education center Lindow as an up to date sports facility.

4 Jun 2009 : Column 646W—continued
Children: Protection
Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families when he expects Ofsted next to report on lessons from serious case reviews. [274263]
Jim Knight: This is a matter for Ofsted. HM Chief Inspector, Christine Gilbert, has written to the hon. Member and a copy of her reply has been placed in the House Libraries.
Letter from Christine Gilbert, dated 19 May 2009:
Your recent parliamentary question has been passed to me, as Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, for a response.
Ofsted has started the preparation for its second report on the outcomes of serious case reviews, based on evaluations which
4 Jun 2009 : Column 647W
were completed between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2009. This is provisionally planned for publication in late August 2009.
In light of Lord Laming's recent recommendations, Ofsted also intends to produce more regular reports, at six-monthly intervals, which summarise the lessons from serious case reviews. We have yet to agree the pattern of dates of these reports.
A copy of this reply has been sent to Rt Hon Beverley Hughes MP, Minister of State for Children, Young People and Families, and will be placed in the library of both Houses.
Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) what steps his Department has taken to adapt to climate change in the last two years; [277648]
(2) what estimate he has made of his Department's potential gross (a) costs and (b) savings arising from its climate change adaptation measures in the next three years. [277729]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry: For the schools estate, some of the steps taken by DCSF and local authorities include:
increasing the flood resilience of schools that have been or could be subject to flooding;
promoting sustainable urban drainage strategies and other sustainable water management practices in new and existing school projects, as identified in the Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) report funded by the Department(1);
promoting passive environmental design of new buildings to prevent summertime overheating; and
joint DCSF/HPA guidance for teachers and other professionals on looking after schoolchildren during heatwaves(2).
The Department has not made any estimate of the costs and savings from climate change adaptation measures in schools. However some cost analysis of the possible impacts on buildings was published in a report by the Foundation for the Built Environment published in 2000(3).
The Department's Estates and Facilities Management Division has earmarked £500,000 and £550,000 for the next two years, to invest in sustainability measures in the Department's buildings. Assessments will be made of each potential sustainability improvement and we will invest in projects with a three-year payback or better. We are not yet in a position to determine the amount of these monies that will be spent on climate change adaptation measures or the value of the savings associated with them.

John Thurso: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what steps he has taken to reduce the levels of carbon dioxide emissions arising from the operation of ICT systems in his Department under the Greening Government ICT Strategy. [273553]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry: I refer my hon. Member to the reply given on 24 April 2009, Official Report, column 898W.
Departmental Training
Mr. Hands: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families pursuant to the answer of 9 February 2009, Official Report, column 1708W, on departmental training, which Ministers attended the (a) induction workshop, (b) action learning set, (c) media training and (d) select committee training courses; and what the total cost of these courses was. [265678]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry: Ministers in the Department for Children, Schools and Families who have attended personal training courses are: (a) Induction Workshop: Sarah McCarthy-Fry, (b) Action Learning Set: Delyth Morgan, (c) Media Training: Sarah McCarthy-Fry and Delyth Morgan, (d) Select Committee Training: Sarah McCarthy-Fry.
The total cost of these courses was £4,432.75.
Departmental Work Experience
Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many work placements his Department and its predecessors offered to (a) school pupils, (b) university students and (c) graduates in each of the last five years. [274491]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry: The information is as follows:
School pupils University students and graduates
(1) Department for Education and Skills up to 27 June 2007 and Department of Children, Schools and Families from 28 June 2007.
It is not possible to separate figures for university students and graduates.
The Department is currently in the process of planning its own work experience programme for 2009.
Employment Tribunals Service
Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many actions under employment law have been brought against his Department and its predecessor in each of the last three years; how many such actions were brought under each category of action; and how many such actions were contested by his Department at an employment tribunal. [277417]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry: The Department has defended less than five claims in employment tribunal hearings in each of the financial years 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Department was established on 28 June 2007. Further detail is suppressed on grounds of confidentiality.
Information on the number of claims withdrawn during the process of being defended prior to a full hearing is not held and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Information for the 2006-07 financial year could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Faith Schools: Finance
Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what funding his Department provided to religious bodies as a contribution to their capital expenditure on voluntary-aided schools of a religious character in each year from 1997-98 to 2003-04; what proportion of his Department's expenditure such expenditure represented in each of those years; and in what instances his Department's contribution represented (a) up to 90 per cent. and (b) 90 per cent. or more of total project expenditure. [277665]
Jim Knight: The information set out as follows shows the amount of grant payable from 2001-02, the earliest year for which we have the information, to the governing bodies of those voluntary aided (VA) schools with a religious character. This is then shown as a proportion of the total departmental capital programme (including PFI credits) for all schools. Some VA schools will also have received some funding from programmes other than the main VA programmes but as these records are maintained mainly at local authority level we do not keep records of the amounts. The proportions in the table are therefore likely smaller than the actual share.
Although most capital expenditure at voluntary aided schools requires a 10 per cent. contribution from their governing bodies, we do not have information relating to any other contributions made either by governing bodies or from any other source.
Amount paid up to 90 per cent. (£000) Amount paid 90-100 per cent. (£000) Amount as a proportion of the total departmental capital programme (percentage)
GCE A-Level
Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the average A-level points score per pupil was for secondary schools with sixth forms of (a) 50 or fewer, (b) 51 to 100, (c) 101 to 150, (d) 151 to 200, (e) 201 to 250 and (f) more than 250 pupils in each of the last three years for which figures are available. [273518]
Jim Knight: The information is published in the School and College Achievement and Attainment Tables on the Department's website at the following link:
http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/performancetables/16to18_08.shtml.
A copy of the tables is available in the House Libraries.
GCE A-Level: History
Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of pupils who sat A-level history at mainstream maintained schools gained an A to E grade in that subject in each year since 1997. [276845]
Jim Knight: The information requested can be found in the table:
Number and proportion of pupils who sat A-level history at mainstream maintained schools and who gained an A to E grade in that subject in each year since 1997
Number Percentage

Whether you grew up in the 90's to Tragic Kingdom or the 2000's to Push and Shove, this band is sure to make you move.
Faux Doubt is the Midwest's preeminent tribute to the music of No Doubt. Hailing from Eastern Iowa with cumulative experience of over three decades, Faux Doubt is a multi-generational group consisting of local music scene veterans, as well as classically-trained talent. What these 5 members share is a passion for the upbeat music of No Doubt – from the 90's alternative ska-punk classics to the present day hook-laden pop. Faux Doubt covers the entire spectrum of the No Doubt catalog – and does so with the same energy and showmanship fans have come to expect.
Faux Doubt performing 'Just A Girl' live at Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque, Iowa.
Rollcall!
Faux Doubt was inspired by tough times in relationships, just as the original No Doubt did to make their chart-topping "Tragic Kingdom" album. In 2018, Ella Goode (Dawn) jokingly said to fellow musician Triston that they should start a Hole tribute band after the influx of tribute bands had hit the scene. He replied, "I'm more of a No Doubt guy, myself." As the pair discovered the relatability within their separate personal lives, the search for the perfect lineup underwent. Starting with bassist extraordinaire, Cornell Veasey Jr, slowly recruiting members Duroje Gwamna (Trombone) and later adding guitarist Daren Barker. Thus, completing the lineup. By 2019, Faux Doubt: A Tribute to No Doubt was born.

RadGridView allows you to display hierarchical data in the form of nested grid views. To do so you have to define a table definition for each subset of data you want to display. Such a definition can be done by creating a GridViewTableDefinition object and adding it to the ChildTableDefinitions collection of the RadGridView.
Specific for the GridViewTableDefinition is that it needs to have its Relation property to the name of the property containing the subset of data. In this way you define the data source for the nested tables. You set the property to an object of type PropertyRelation.
The ParentPropertyName of the PropertyRelation object represents the name of the property that will be used as a source for the nested table.
Now you can add the definition to the ChildTableDefinitions collection.
The GridViewTableDefinition object also exposes a ChildTableDefinitions property, which means that you can nest grids on more than one level.
The IsExpanded method can also be used to check whether a group is expanded. More information can be found in the Programmatic Grouping topic.
In case when checking whether a given hierarchical item is expanded the IsExpanded method of RadGridView comes in handy. When an item is passed as a parameter to it, it will return a boolean value determining whether its hierarchy is expanded or not.

Bulldogs take satisfaction in getting back to tourney
Michael Pointer
michael.pointer@indystar.com
Butler vs. Texas%2C approx. 2%3A45 p.m. Thursday%2C CBS
Last year, Butler knew it wasn't headed to the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday. Alex Barlow did what seemed like the natural thing to do at that point.
He didn't go near a television.
"I really didn't want to watch the selection show," the Bulldogs senior guard said. "It kind of hurts you when you know you're not going to be playing in it."
This year, the Bulldogs knew they were going to receive an at-large bid, so it was a time to gather at Hinkle Fieldhouse with a few family, friends and Butler staffers to celebrate. They learned early during the CBS broadcast they are the No. 6 seed in the Midwest Region and will play No. 11 Texas on Thursday at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.
"This year, we knew we were going to be playing in it, but it's still a feeling of satisfaction, a feeling of excitement," said Barlow, whose only other NCAA Tournament appearance came as a sophomore two years ago. "All day, we were waiting to see where we were going to be. You're not guaranteed to be playing in it every year."
For sophomore forward Andrew Chrabascz, it's a new experience entirely.
"I love it," said Chrabascz, who will make his NCAA Tournament debut. "I can see why (assistant coach Terry Johnson) said it's addictive. Once you get the feeling, you're going to want it all the time. We weren't nervous because we knew we were going to be in it, but it's exciting to hear your name."
It's not a place where many observers expected them to be back in October. The Big East coaches picked the Bulldogs to finish seventh in the league standings. They were adjusting to new coach Chris Holtmann, who was serving on an interim basis when Brandon Miller took a medical leave of absence just before preseason practice. They were undersized and didn't have much depth.
Yet, they went on to finish tied for second in the Big East and were rewarded with the school's 12th NCAA Tournament appearance since 1997.
"The biggest feeling you feel is a real sense of accomplishment and a real excitement level for your players," said Holtmann, who wasn't named coach on a permanent basis until Jan. 2. "You know it's not a rite of passage. To see our seniors and our young guys embrace this moment is fantastic."
Holtmann knows first-hand that playing in the NCAA Tournament isn't a given. He's been a head coach or assistant coach on the Division I level for 12 years. This will be just his second tournament appearance. He was an assistant coach at Butler when the Bulldogs went 14-17 in their Big East debut last season.
"We know we have a lot of work ahead of us," Holtmann said. "We're by no means satisfied. But we're excited about getting to play on this stage. I think this group has such a special bond, they don't want to see this end. They have a special connection to each other. I think (the coaches) have a special connection to them. That's what's made it really rewarding."
Butler is used to being the smaller team. That will definitely be the case against the Longhorns, who likely will have starters 6-8 (Jonathan Holmes) and 6-9 (Connor Lammert and Cameron Ridley) across the front line. That doesn't include 6-11 freshman Myles Turner, who averages nearly 11 points and seven rebounds off the bench. They also have solid point guard in Isaiah Taylor, a starter since arriving one campus as a freshman the last two seasons.
Yet, Texas struggled at times in the brutal Big 12, in which it had two four-game losing streaks. The Longhorns went 1-1 in the Big 12 Tournament, beating Texas Tech 65-53 before losing 69-67 to eventual champion Iowa State, blowing a 16-point lead and losing on a shot at the buzzer.
Holtmann said he did not see the Longhorns play during the regular season, but he planned to study plenty video of them on Sunday night.
"I just know they're one of the biggest teams in the country," he said. "I know they play in arguably the best league in the country.
"You look at the tournament and you say, 'Boy, it would be tough to play that team, it would be tough to play that team.' That's what I've done for the last couple of weeks. They're all tough. That's just part of it. That's why they're in the tournament."
After a one-year absence, the Bulldogs are glad to be back. They're happy to be in Pittsburgh, a relatively easy six-hour drive for their fans. They don't care who they play. Even the fact they were placed in a region with undefeated Kentucky wasn't such a big deal on Sunday night.
"We had one goal," Butler's Roosevelt Jones said. "That was to make the tournament. We played hard every time. Just proud of everyone and the effort they gave this year. We surprised everybody."

Report on Galeras (Colombia) — November 1991
Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, vol. 16, no. 11 (November 1991)
Managing Editor: Lindsay McClelland.
Galeras (Colombia) Continued deformation and seismicity; dome petrology
Global Volcanism Program, 1991. Report on Galeras (Colombia) (McClelland, L., ed.). Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, 16:11. Smithsonian Institution.
Volcano Profile | Complete Bulletin
Seismicity remained at very high levels in November, with peaks in the number and intensity of long-period events on the 19th (figure 49). The average earthquake rate dropped briefly in early November, before returning to late-October levels. High-frequency seismicity, rare during November, showed a small increase centered beneath the volcano's W sector, near the end of the month. One shock was felt nearby (at the Galeras Military Base) on 18 November at 0627, and was associated with a tremor episode. Low-frequency (1-2 Hz) tremor bands, with 6 mm amplitudes, were recorded on 10 and 19 November; spasmodic tremor fluctuated, reaching a peak on 20 November.
Figure 49. Seismicity at Galeras, November 1991. Courtesy of INGEOMINAS.
The electronic tiltmeters located 0.9 km E ("Crater") and 2 km E ("Peladitos") of the crater showed continued inflation through 18 November, when a sudden change occurred (see figure 58), coinciding with a minimum in the reduced displacement of the long-period events. Inflation resumed at Crater Station, but measurements at Peladitos Station showed little change.
The dome in the summit crater was still growing in mid-November, as frequent explosions continued. Preliminary analyses of a block believed to have been ejected from the dome by an explosion show it to be a 2-pyroxene andesite. The rock is highly crystalline (>50% crystals), containing abundant plagioclase, and lesser clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, titanomagnetite, and possible relict olivine. The glass is generally brown, and somewhat vesicular. Geologists noted that the rhyolitic glass composition and high crystallinity indicate a high degree of differentiation and high magma viscosity, consistent with the dome being part of an older gas-poor magma body forced upward by new magma that has not yet reached the surface.

Sunak told PM role 'too big' for him as he faces question on Zahawi and probation services
Wednesday 25 January 2023, 9:00pm
Play Brightcove video
Labour leader Keir Starmer criticised the prime minister's failure to sack Mr Zahawi over tax issues, ITV News' Amy Lewis reports
Rishi Sunak has defended his handling of Nadhim Zahawi's tax row as pressure grows on the Tory chairman to stand down.
Mr Sunak was asked whether he thought the role of prime minister was "too big" for him as he was quizzed at PMQs about failings in the probation services and Mr Zahawi's tax affairs.
The prime minister suggested that while it would have been "politically expedient" to sack Mr Zahawi, "due process" means the investigation into his tax affairs should be allowed to reach its conclusion.
The Labour leader told MPs that it was "fairly obvious that someone who seeks to avoid tax can't also be in charge of tax".
"Yet for some reason the prime minister can't bring himself to say that or even acknowledge the question," he said, alluding to Mr Sunak's wife's former non-dom status.
But Mr Sunak said Mr Zahawi had not been appointed by him and he had launched an investigation after "new information" came to light.
"I am pleased to make my position on this matter completely clear to the House. The issues in question occurred before I was prime minister," Mr Sunak said.
It was one of the biggest news stories of our time - and it's still not over. So what did Boris Johnson know about Downing Street's notorious parties? With fresh revelations from our Number 10 sources, in their own words, listen to the inside story...
"With regard to the appointment of the minister without portfolio, the usual appointments process was followed, no issues were raised with me when he was appointed to his current role, and since I commented on this matter last week, more information has come forward," Mr Sunak told the House.
Later in the day, Downing Street bowed to pressure to say Mr Sunak has never paid a tax penalty.
The prime minister's press secretary initially insisted Mr Sunak's tax affairs were "confidential", even as he prepared to publish his tax return in an attempt at transparency.
Keir Starmer had said the prime minister's failure to sack Mr Zahawi showed "how hopelessly weak he is".
"He can't say when ambulances will get to heart attack victims again. He can't say when the prisons system will keep streets safe again. He can't even deal with tax avoiders in his own Cabinet.
"Is he starting to wonder if this job is just too big for him?"
In his final remarks to Sir Keir, Mr Sunak said: "The difference between him and me is I stand by my values and my principles even when it is difficult.
"When I disagreed fundamentally with the previous prime minister I resigned from the government.
"But for four long years he sat next to the member for Islington North [Jeremy Corbyn] - when antisemitism ran rife, when his predecessor sided with our opponents.
"That's what's weak, Mr Speaker. He has no principles and just petty politics."
The Labour leader had begun by asking the prime minister if he accepted the findings of a report that highlighted the failings that allowed Jordan McSweeney to kill Zara Aleena.
Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Keir Starmer told the Commons: "Zara Aleena was walking home from a night out with her friends when she was savagely attacked, assaulted, and beaten to death. Zara was a brilliant young woman, a trainee lawyer with a bright future."
Sir Keir said her killer was "not fit to walk the same streets", adding: "But that's precisely the problem. He was free to walk the same streets.
"The inspectorate report into her case says that opportunities were missed by the probation service that could have prevented this attack and saved her life. Does the prime minister accept those findings?"
Sir Keir described failings in the probation service as a result of "a botched-then-reversed privatisation, after a decade of underinvestment" by the government.
Mr Sunak said "this was a truly terrible crime" and that the failings the chief inspector found "were serious and indeed, unacceptable".
He added: "In both of the cases that are in the public domain, these failures can be traced to failings in the initial risk assessment, and that's why immediate steps are being taken to address the serious issues raised."
Pressure mounts on Nadhim Zahawi to resign
Mr Zahawi has come under increased pressure after an investigation was launched into a multi-million pound HM Revenue & Customs settlement he made when chancellor to end a dispute.
A senior Tory joined calls for the party chair's resignation ahead of Wednesday's PMQs.
The prime minister's spokesperson has said Mr Sunak was not aware that Mr Zahawi had paid a fine to HMRC when he told the Commons last week that his chair "had addressed the matter in full".
What is going on with Nadhim Zahawi's tax affairs?
ITV News' Political Editor Robert Peston discusses what this could mean for Mr Sunak
Chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, Lord Evans, criticised the legal threats Mr Zahawi made as he tried to prevent stories about his tax affairs emerging.
Senior Conservative MP Caroline Nokes has called Mr Zahawi to "stand aside until this matter is all cleared up" but Mr Sunak has so far stood by him.
The prime minister ordered his ethics adviser to investigate whether Mr Zahawi broke ministerial rules over the estimated £4.8 million bill he settled with HMRC while chancellor.
Mr Sunak admitted there are "questions that need answering" as the inquiry was launched but argued it is "longstanding practice" for ministers to remain in their roles while under investigation.

In the aftermath of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants leaving New York for sunny California in the 1950s, New York sought to regain a team in both leagues. After an abortive attempt to gain a team through forming a new major league, the National League awarded New York with a new franchise, the Mets, in 1962. The Mets began play at the new Citi Field in 2009, after they had played in Shea Stadium for decades.
After moving into the new park in 2009, some Mets fans did not like the new park as its design harkened back to the old Ebbets Field, the home park of the departed Brooklyn Dodgers—instead of the team that would call the new stadium home. There was also controversy as the park's naming rights had been sold to a bank during some of the worst years of the recent financial crisis. Although Citi Field holds less people than Shea Stadium (and never hosted the Beatles), it does have larger seats, more restrooms per guest, and restaurant options from famous eateries all over New York in addition to ballpark hotdogs and peanuts. In terms of on the field action, the Mets have been improving in recent years, including appearing in the 2015 World Series. The fans of the Mets remain some of the most knowledgeable and loyal in Major League baseball and are friendly to fans of visiting teams.
In addition to Mets games, the stadium also hosts concerts and rallies throughout the year. Aside from events at the stadium, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the Unisphere, and the Queens Museum are also nearby. This is the type of information you will learn on a Sights by Sam tour.

A Gripping Performance of "Of Mice and Men," Behind Bars
Inside Sing Sing's Production of the John Steinbeck Classic
By Daniel A. Gross
Around 5 o'clock on a warm May evening, guests started lining up in Ossining, New York, for the closing performance of a new production of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men." But before they could enter the theater, they had to hand over their phones, remove their shoes, and walk through a metal detector, like travelers embarking on a long flight. A guard stamped their right hands with ultraviolet ink, led them into a room with bars on the doors, and locked the door behind them.
After a moment, another guard unlocked a second door, and the guests were finally ushered into the visitor room of Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
In many respects, the space resembled any community theater, with a couple hundred chairs lined up around a simple black stage. But Sing Sing is a maximum-security prison, so coils of razor wire were visible through the windows. Prison-issue green pants separated the incarcerated from the guests. Correctional officers stood watch, handcuffs and batons strapped to their waists.

visitors to Sing Sing Correctional Facility, on Friday, May 11. Photo by Daniel A. Gross.
Once a year, a few dozen Sing Sing inmates put on a play inside the prison, in partnership with the nonprofit Rehabilitation Through the Arts. RTA, which was founded in 1996 by Katherine Vockins, started in Sing Sing but now organizes acting workshops and plays in five state prisons. This time around, Sing Sing prisoners had chosen "Of Mice and Men," a play that Steinbeck adapted from his novella about two farm workers, George and Lennie, who struggle to survive in Depression-era California. Behind the stage, a billboard-sized backdrop showed golden hills, deep green trees, and a bright blue sky.
I entered the prison with Charles Moore, the only man who has not only co-produced a play inside Sing Sing, but also served time there. After earning parole in 2016, Moore was offered a job with RTA. "I wore that green outfit for seventeen years," Moore told me. "That speaks for itself." Though he now dressed in neatly-pressed slacks and shiny shoes, prisoners saw themselves in him. "I was happy to see him as a civilian," Dario Peña, one of Moore's incarcerated friends, told me in a letter. "But I was even more proud and impressed that he was here to give back."
"Before they could enter the theater, guests had to hand over their phones, remove their shoes, and walk through a metal detector, like travelers embarking on a long flight."
Minutes after our arrival, a correctional officer announced the afternoon count: everyone wearing green had to line up against the window, while visitors, in their street clothes, could wait on the other side of the room. For a moment, the privilege of our freedom, of not being counted and confined, was stark. Then the actors and stage hands were released back to the set, and for the hours that followed, the differences between prisoners and guests seemed to recede. A few men on cafeteria duty handed out plates of Ritz crackers, cheese cubes, and coffee cake. The men in green were joined by proud loved ones, and the audience grew to a couple hundred people, including New York's highest-ranking prison official, Anthony J. Annucci, and staffers of Senator Cory Booker.
At 6:30, the guests took their seats. There were no curtains to fall or lights to dim: the stage was illuminated only by florescent bulbs and natural light from the windows. Lennie, played by Timmy Lee Walker, lumbered onto the stage with his protective friend George, played by Chaymarl Cormier. Both men are African American; other than Dawn McDonald, who commuted to the prison for the only female role, all the actors—like the majority of incarcerated people in New York—were black or Latino.

In overalls and straw hats, looking like rural folk, Lennie and George knelt on the edge of the stage, as though it were the bank of the Salinas River.
At first, George scolded Lennie for accidentally killing a mouse. But then his thoughts turned to the hard week of work ahead, lifting heavy bags of grain, and his voice softened. "We're gonna sleep out here tonight," he told Lennie, sounding like a man trying to transcend his circumstances. "Tonight I'm gonna lay right here an' look up! Tonight there ain't a grain bag or a boss in the world."
If theater is an escape from everyday life, then life in prison lends new significance to theater: escape is what many incarcerated men yearn for. When Charles Moore arrived at Sing Sing, he had been sentenced to seventeen years to life for second-degree murder. He was in a deep depression. "I didn't have any understanding of prison life. I didn't know if I could make it," he told me. "Suicide was a thought." Years passed before he started to perceive beauty within the walls.
Moore has a thin mustache, dark brown eyes, and a furrowed forehead. He was born in Memphis, but his mother was murdered when he was three; he was raised by his aunt and uncle in Buffalo, New York. He told me that as a teenager, he left home after being molested by his uncle. Though he was elected class president of his high school, he never graduated, and in his early twenties, he began drinking heavily and using crack cocaine.
The first play that Moore remembers attending, three decades ago at a small Buffalo theater, was about the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It made a lasting impression—one of his friends played a man who was dying of the disease—but he never expected to participate in something like that. Then, when Moore was thirty-four, he got into a fight that turned ugly. "I got into a struggle with someone, and they lost their life," he told me. "I committed one of the ultimate sins." He realized later that he had inflicted on others the same pain he felt, from losing his mother.
"It made me feel that I was needed again. Because for a lot of years, I thought that for what I did, nobody would ever need me again."
In Sing Sing, Moore spent a few years focused on school and the church before he encountered Rehabilitation Through the Arts. In the mid-2000s, he went to see "A Few Good Men," about military lawyers who defend two Marines accused of murder. "You would do things to get out of your cell," Moore recalled. The actors, in military uniforms, looked so professional that he assumed they had come in from the outside—until he bumped into one inside the prison. After that, he signed up for an RTA production of "Jitney," which is set in a Pittsburgh taxi station.
Moore owned an electric keyboard that could play sound effects, so he was cast in the off-stage role of the telephone. Laughing at the memory, he told me that the director, Joanna Chan, said his role was crucial—the telephone drove the action in the play. "It made me feel that I was needed again," Moore told me. "Because for a lot of years, I thought that for what I did, nobody would ever need me again." In the years that followed, he remembers almost looking forward to returning to his cell, so he could read scripts and practice lines. He could relate to tragedies, but he also came to love comedies. "It's so refreshing to laugh in prison," he said.
When Moore was paroled in 2016, he immediately decided that he wanted to return to prisons as a volunteer—"to let brothers and sisters know that you can make it after incarceration." When he arrived at Sing Sing for the final night of "Of Mice and Men," he gave his name to a correctional officer. "We know who you are, Mr. Moore," he said, and waved him inside.
In prison, inmates are always carefully surveilled, but on this night, they were seen. At times, it seemed possible to forget where we were. "When you come in here, it's not about what you're locked up for," Jonathan Andujar, a clean-cut actor who played a farm laborer named Carlson, told me. "When you get on this stage, you're a completely different person."
While the play progressed, the sun began to set outside. From the stage, the actors could look through the window and see the light fading over the Hudson River, creating an effect that was, surprisingly, pretty much what Steinbeck intended. "A sandy bank of the Salinas River sheltered with willows," he wrote in the stage directions for the play. "Stage is lit by a setting sun."

Slim (Dayvon Underdue) in the background. Photo by Daniel A. Gross.
Many times in "Of Mice and Men," George and Lennie dream aloud about owning a farm. Lennie wants to tend rabbits, and George wants to live off the fat of the land. But Lennie, a giant of a man with a mental disability, gets them both into trouble by underestimating his own strength. When he accidentally takes a life, George is faced with a terrible choice, and in the final, wrenching scene, the dream finally eludes them.
At the end of the play, the sound of a gunshot rang out in the visitor room. Some audience members gasped when they heard it. Others sat in stunned silence, before finally standing and applauding. In letters, prisoners described a similar reaction at previous performances of the play, which only inmates could attend.
"I cried that night," Jose Llaca, who is serving a 116-year sentence for gang-related murders, told me.
George (at right) tells Lennie to fight back after Curley (second from left,
played by Joel Hererra) threatens him. Photo by Daniel A. Gross.
I asked participants whether that final moment in the play, the gunshot that destroys a dream, had a special meaning in prison. Walker said it reminded him of the moment when an appeal is denied, and hopes of freedom slip away. But most compared it to the sight of the Hudson River. In rehearsals, Nelson T. Eusebio III, who directed the play for RTA, would point at the view and tell inmates: "That's what the fat of the land feels like."
"A friend of mine once described this view as sweet torture," Laron Rogers, a stage hand, told me. He gazed through the glass, past the razor wire and concrete walls, at the wooded hills on the other side of the river. "It's just out of reach."

Bounded approximately by Spring Street and Coggeshall Avenue on the west, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, this historic district is formed around a two-mile stretch of Bellevue Avenue that runs from Memorial Boulevard in the north to Bailey's Beach in the south. With magnificent residences and resorts on large lots—most originally surrounded by gardens, greenhouses, stables, and other outbuildings—the northern section developed in the 1830s. With but a handful of commercial blocks (including the Newport Casino), the properties are predominantly residential, and represent a diverse assemblage by illustrious architects such as Richard Morris Hunt, Horace Trumbauer, and McKim, Mead & White and landscape architects including Ernest Bowditch and Olmsted Brothers. Many of the former estates are open to the public and eight properties within the district—The Breakers, Marble House, and Chateau-sur-Mer, for example—are themselves National Historic Landmarks.
It was entrepreneur Alfred Smith, who in 1852 spearheaded the southern extension of Bellevue Avenue through 140 acres of his own farmland, which he then subdivided and sold, with the lots on the eastern (cliffs) side selling first, and the construction of houses—most in the Italianate style—underway even before the road was finished one year later. Along much of its length to the southern end of the island, Bellevue Avenue today is bordered by wide, brick-paved sidewalks interspersed with trees and lampposts, and variously lined by stone walls, hedges, and iron and wooden fences furnished with elaborate gateways. The Bellevue Avenue National Historic Landmark District was so designated in 1976.

ISO 17025 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It's a set of requirements those laboratories use to show that they operate a quality management system and that they're technically competent to do the work that they do.
The scope means a clear statement of everything the lab does for which it wants to be accredited. A testing lab will set out its specific methods for conducting its tests. A calibration lab will list the specific measurements and associated uncertainty it uses in its calibration work. Defining the scope means the lab can identify suitably skilled staff and give clients confidence in its tests and measurements.
The two main sections of ISO 17025 are clauses 4 and 5, which cover the two types of requirements.
Controlling all documents (internal and external) relating to the QMS – regulations, normative reference documents, drawings, specifications, instructions, manuals etc.
4.15 – Management reviews Procedure for management reviews of policies and procedures, audit findings, corrective and preventive action, customer feedback etc.
Many medical device manufacturers and life science research facilities use EQMS to meet ISO 17025. EQMS helps integrate data, processes, business systems, assets and people in an extended enterprise. The integrated modules enable you to easily maintain all procedures, sampling records and audits in a centralised, unified system.
Read how we have helped laboratories establish a formal ISO 17025 quality management system.

Manchester United centre back Victor Lindelof wanted transfer to a club playing Champions League football, according to the Daily Star.
Lindelof joined United back in 2017 and has gone on to establish himself as a starting centre back alongside summer recruit Harry Maguire.
However, it turns out the Sweden international could have joined a club in England before his move to United, and a club playing Champions League football.
This is according to Rui Vitoria Lindelof's first team coach at Benfica, the club the defender was with before his switch to United.
Vitoria said: "Victor, one or two weeks from closing the winter market, comes to my office and says to me and Rui Costa, that he wanted to leave because he had an offer from a second English league club and he wanted to go because he wanted to play more," he said.
"I told him 'it's very close, your door is about to open, there is only one opportunity that may arise.
"And he agreed to stay. Then there is an injury from Luisão, another from Lisandro and when he entered he was ready."
Maguire and Lindelof were starting to build a solid partnership.
Adding: "Today he is in England and in one of the biggest clubs in the world because he knew how to wait for his opportunity.
"Our strategy was to have two, three experienced centrals and a newer one: we did it with Lindelof, then with Rúben Dias and we were also going to do it with Ferro.
"And they were players who, when they entered, were ready."

Despite the clash with Apple over its App Store policies, Facebook is rolling out its cloud gaming service to iOS devices through a web application
apple, Facebook, gaming, iOS, news, Technology
Facebook had some concerns with Apple over its anti-competitive activities in its App Store as Apple did not allow any gaming service on iOS, which forced limited rules onto third-party creators like Facebook. Apple had to face harsh criticisms from many companies including Microsoft over its rules and regulations and Facebook even decided to file a legal case against Apple. Previously, the company of Microsoft decided to introduce an Xbox cloud facility through a web application. Now, it looks like Facebook has adopted a similar strategy, and therefore, it is rolling out its promising cloud gaming service to iOS devices through the web application.
The web app is available globally on Safari browser, but cloud games are only playable in the U.S. and parts of Canada and Mexico. Anyone outside of those areas can play HTML5 games in the web app. As we expand cloud games to more regions, they'll launch in the web app, too.
— Facebook Gaming (@FacebookGaming) July 23, 2021
The platform revealed the gaming application on the iOS device for the first time in the mid of the prior year and it had to confiscate all games in order to get accepted. According to sources, the platform was testing to run its gaming service a month before on iOS devices like iPhones and iPads. Users can now play elementary games like Solitaire and racing games on the website. The platform is not a key competitor in the gaming community so far, as it has still 1500,000 monthly active users but still, it is now concentrating more on streamers to show their gameplays for their followers. As soon as the platform gets more gaming users, it will launch more exciting games for them. Still, it has included famous names to its collection such as Asphalt 9 and Assassin Creed.
The social platform has adopted a good plan to introduce its service through web application but still, the platform can face many challenges in the future as Apple has also levied some restrictions on websites games as well from its official browser such as the volume will be switched off by default, the games cannot send notices, and users cannot enjoy such graphics that they can experience on the innate applications.
The Vice President of gaming of the platform has said that the platform had no substitute option but to accept this strategy, as Apple demands that every game should have its individual page, and after that goes through the different procedure of assessments and then looks in search citation which destroys the main drive of cloud service. These put a hurdle for players to search for new games. The users can experience quality gaming in the native application of iOS even though they are not using classy devices.

A. High Priority Skills - get these first in the order listed below (you have to get some first to get the others later). These give you stronger shields, lasers, repair bot and hit points. You will have "fat lasers" with these 21 pilot points (if you add 3 more pilot points in Shield Engineering you will have the "bubble shield). PP = Pilot Points.
B. Secondary Priority PP (only if you want them - they are expensive and don't really give you that much in return). These reduce the probability of enemy hitting you, increases rocket damage and increases laser accuracy.
36PP total now (including the 28PP above).
These will cost you another 2.7 million uri.
C. Tertiary in Priority for PP (very expensive - don't spend any of your own money on these as they don't really give you any major advantage in the game). These increase the accuracy of missiles and increases laser damage against npc's.
These last 10PP will cost you 7.126 million uri.
TOTAL COST for ALL of these 46PP is about 11 million uri!
However, many people opt to go for 5 in shield engineering, so it'll take 24 pilot points to get fat lasers.
HINT: If you run your mouse over the skills in the game, a pop-up window opens and explains in detail what level you are currently at in that skill, what power that skill gives you, what the prerequisites are for that next level and what the costs are to attain that level. The pop-up for Electo-optics looks like the following. If you meet all the criteria, and want that skill, mouse click on the skill in the Pilot Bio. If you have anything in RED (like Pilot Points below), that means you lacking those requirements to achieve that skill.
The Pilot Sheet is divided into 4 different sections.
1, Your Profile - which tells a little bit about you.
2. Your Achievements - what awards you have won.
3. Your Skill Tree - which is explained below in greater detail.
4. Your Friends and Bonuses - bonuses you can get you signing in friends.
The Skill Tree is the only part of the Pilot Bio explained here in greater detail.
The Skill Tree allows you to upgrade your way to a more powerful ship. Pilots need "pilot points" to upgrade their skills. Although the reading in the "HELP" section leads you to believe these are "skills" - you don't actually "learn" anything. Your ship just gets additional abilities to do things, like a 4% greater shield strength. To get pilot points, players will need to "collect" log disks.
1. If you log on every day, you will get a "free" log disk every day.
2. By collecting the boxes floating in space, and "spinning" the galaxy gate generator, you can sometimes win a log disk.
3. If you pick up pirate "booty boxes" they may contain log disks within them.
4. You can win log disks by bidding on them in TRADE.
5. You will get log disks by completing Galaxy Gates.
6. Defeating Boss opponents MAY award you a log disk.
7. You can purchase log disks in the HANGER under EXTRAS for Uridium (300 Uridium per log disk).
Once you collect/buy enough log disks you can trade them for pilot points. Each pilot point takes an increasing number of log disks to complete it. For example, pilot point number 1 takes 30 log disks. Pilot point number 37 takes 927 log disks.
HINT: To use a Pilot Point may also cost you credits and Seprom. Many skills that you are trying to acquire also have prerequisites skills that you have to acquire FIRST!
HINT: It is VERY IMPORTANT that you have a plan for acquiring the skills. You CANNOT acquire them all. The maximum number of pilot points you can use is 50. Many of the skills shown in Pilot Bio require you to use more than one Pilot Point to acquire the entire skill set - although you do NOT have to acquire the entire set to use parts of it.
The following skill path is taken from the Forums in Dark Orbit (I have lost the link - sorry). Following this "path" will give you the best offensive and defensive benefits using minimal costs. Start and complete the RED path first. It is a total of 24 pilot points and will give you "fat lasers" (larger firing laser blasts) when completed. If you want to continue building your pilot bio, do the skills in the green circles next. Lastly do the ones in the yellow circles.
HINT: Do NOT do any extra skills beyond what you see here until you have completed the ones shown. Although when you are just starting out it might be nice to get an extra 4 - 6% EP for an alien kill, later on you will wish you had spent the pilot points on something else.
HINT: Sometimes you have to look around on the chart to see how it works. For example, the first TWO skills to learn are in the first red circle to the left. This is called "Ship Hull" level 1. If you look in the reading at the bottom of the cart under PRIORITY, it says "Ship Hull (I and II) > 5 PP. You will find that that Ship Hull I (in the first red circle) has 2 parts to it, then later in the process (5th red circle over) you will find the other 3 parts in Ship Hull level II - for a total of 5 parts. Mathematically, the > sign really should have been an = sign.

November 4, 2018 November 23, 2018 parentsandconcernedcitizensagainst5gLeave a Comment on Letters and Emails That Have Been Sent… Mayor of Manchester 1.9
before I tackle the next bit, I want to make a very important point. The studies cited in the Observer and Guardian articles do not represent current levels of RF frequencies. 2G and 3G were the levels which were assessed in these studies therefore the studies are not representative of the current 4G and imminent 5G frequencies. "Franz Adlkofer was shocked when results came back showing genetic damage, damage that was 10 times more likely with the new, more powerful, 3G.' How does that translate into the genetic damage 4G and 5G (in concert with 2G and 3G) frequencies could potentially cause?
Also, bear in mind that it took, on average, thirty years for cancer from cigarette smoking to express itself. Taking relativity into account, in the studies using rats, a rat's lifespan might not be able to accommodate full expression of the latency, only human bodies can truly represent it. The issue of latency is fundamental to any discussion on cell phone health effects.
To continue in the cherry picking vein.
Dr Grimes: 'As other authors have pointed out,'
In response: …or rather, as one other like-minded author, David Gorski, has pointed out on his website, 'Science Based Medicine'.
Dr Grimes: 'the NTP results raise several questions about methodology and interpretation but certainly do not show RF leads to cancer.'
.In response:…I've covered this, drawing on three separate sources, in the previous email.
Dr Grimes: 'Nor could a study in isolation answer this question – studies are essentially single data-points. What matters is whether consistent trends are seen across many studies. Indeed, a multitude of studies have been performed to this end, and as the World Health Organisation states, there has been no evidence of detrimental health effects: "A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use." '
In response:…The World Health organisation has classed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (which includes mobile phone radiation) as a 2B possible carcinogen. http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2011/pdfs/pr208_E.pdf … From pdf. International Agency For Reseach on Cancer, World Health Organisation. 'IARC classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans.' 'Conclusion: Dr Jonathan Samet (University of Southern California, USA), overall Chairman of the Working Group, indicated that "the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk." Remember to bear in mind that this was back in 2011 and relates to now outmoded radiofrequency radiation levels.
Dr Grimes: 'Instead of rats, we might consider human evidence. The 13-country Interphone study examined phone usage in more than 5,000 patients with brain tumours, concluding there was no causal relationship between phone use and brain tumours. '
In response: … https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18223-cellphones-and-cancer-interphone-cant-end-the-debate/ From New Scientist, December 2nd 2009, 'Cell Phones and cancer: Interphone can't end the debate: Design flaws. It is widely recognised that the design of Interphone was the best available at the time. Even so, it has major flaws that cast doubt on its ability to identify any cancer risk from cellphones.'
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/05/14/cell.phones.brain.tumor/index.html CNN News May 18th 2010 'Study fails to end debate on cell phone, cancer link', 'But design flaws on the Interphone study, which is partly industry funded, suggest that the latest results cannot be taken to mean that cell phones and brain cancer are unrelated, critics say.'
From Dr Devra Davies' book 'When negative effects are found, the cell phone industry has gone out of its way to hide it.' Dr Davies, "There's a conflict of interest , because the Interphone study was partly funded by the cell phone industry, and that most of the research doesn't look at heavy users and the small parts that do found a doubling, or even quadrupling, of tumours."
Dr Grimes: 'Other studies have been similarly robust; a Danish cohort study followed 358,403 people for 27 years, again finding no link between phone usage and tumour rates. The scientific consensus to date is that there is no evidence linking cancer to mobile phones. To ignore strong evidence against a conjecture while inflating weak studies is textbook cherry-picking, where data that might contradict a particular hypothesis is jettisoned, and only evidence fitting the desired story retained. This is antithetical to science, where the totality of evidence must be assessed in concert.'
In response:… Some comments on the 'similarly robust' Danish Cohort Study from experts other than Dr Grime:
Dariusz Leszczynski PhD
STUK-Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Finland
'Now, let's look at another of the largest studies, the recent update of the Danish Cohort. It is the largest study because the authors started with the population of 723 421 subscription records in Denmark for years of 1982 – 1995. However, their information on exposure of people to mobile phone radiation is even worse than in INTERPHONE. …So, the exposure information in INTERPHONE was, in practice, not reliable if not outright scientifically non-existent.'
Denis L Henshaw, PhD,
Emeritus Professor of Human Radiation Effects
University of Bristol in U.K.
'This seriously flawed study misleads the public and decision makers about the safety of mobile phone use. I consider that their claims are worthless.'
Alasdair Philips, B.Sc.(Eng), DAgE, Powerwatch UK
Member of the UK Department of Health Stakeholder Group on ELF EMFs and the U.K. Health Protection Agency's EMF Discussion Group
' …This study uses seriously flawed data to make a flawed analysis and should be condemned as misleading spin.'
Devra L. Davis, PhD, MPH
Cancer Epidemiologist and President of Environmental Health Trust
'Unsurprising, biased and misleading.'
My next email will cover the chapter titled 'Not all radiation is bad'.
I need a cup of tea.

63. Get out your calculator.
Most food labels use grams. Can you visualize a gram? I can't either.
For example, a 12-ounce can of Coke has 39 grams of sugar. Four grams is about the equivalent of one teaspoon. The calculation: 39/4 = 9.75 teaspoons of sugar. That's a lot of sugar.

Hijabgate - Marine Le Pen Puts Her Dignity Before Appeasing Islamist................from Daniel Thomas
The difference between a woman who puts her principles and dignity before votes and spineless appeasers who would sell both was made abundantly clear when French Presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, refused to don a Muslim hijab to meet a representative of Islam.
During a visit to Lebanon she was scheduled to meet Sunni Muslim leader, the Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, who insisted Madam Le Pen don the oppressive headdress before appearing in his presence.
In solidarity with oppressed Muslim women the world over, and also to maintain her dignity and that of her country, she refused to comply.
Since Madam Le Pen had previously met the Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt without such a degrading requirement one can only assume that the Grand Mufti of Lebanon was using the meeting to demonstrate the dominance of Islam not only over women but also over a possible future President of France.
On the same visit she had meetings with the Christian President of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, the Sunni Prime Minister, Saad al- Harriri and the Maronite Patriarch of Antioch and the Levant, Cardinal Mar Bachara al-Rai, without any requirement to demean herself or France by surrendering her dignity.

The sad day has finally come, Matthew Therrien, our MLK VISTA AmeriCorps volunteer, mentor and snowboard guru, has finished his term of service. Over the past year he has gotten the tSB basement more organized than ever before, created systems for managing all of our rock star volunteers and played a major role in the lives of tSB youth (DOBC Family for Life!). We are so grateful for all of his hard work and the love he brings to the office every day.
Fortunately, Matt's not going far. He will continue to volunteer with the Service Board as he looks for more work that will impact his community. In the winter, he will begin looking at colleges and pursue his degree in Architecture or Land Resource Utilization. Goodbye and good luck Matt. We'll always be here for you!

Rep. Griffith Statement on National Defense Authorization Act
Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):
"Supporting legislation that would infringe on the constitutional rights of American citizens would violate my oath of office. As in past years, this year's NDAA contained a provision that could permit indefinite detention of American citizens. I have objected to it before and tried to correct it by amendment. Since it remains in this year's NDAA, despite any other parts of the bill with merit, I had to vote no."

Self-help books are books that help you develop you. More than books that teaches you how to remodel your bathroom or bedroom, a good quality self-help book will empower you with a particular skill that will enhance your quality of life. A self-help book will teach you how to fish (so to speak) so that you can feed yourself for a lifetime. The best self-help book out there is also one of the biggest selling books of all-time. That book is by Dale Carnegie. The book is entitled, "How To Win Friends and Influence People".
What does this book teaches? It teaches communication skills. A skill that is in demand in every business and company. It is a skill that should be mastered by everyone including parents, children, managers, business owners, presidents, employees, etc. Everyone that breathes should be fluent in their communication skills.
The book, "How To Win Friends and Influence People", is all about teaching you how to master your communication skills such as persuasion, public speaking, one-on-one communication, etc. It is also about dealing with anger, frustration, excessive talking, minimal talking, etc. One of the important cardinal rules from the book are to never criticize, condemn, nor complain. This is difficult to do on a regular basis but this book reminds you about that. Thus, it should be read on a regular basis.
Upon reflecting on those people who have had a positive influence on me and my family (or throughout history for that matter), they would be people who had outstanding communication skills outlined and discussed on Carnegie's book. We should learn how to win friends and influence people.


I'm occupied as system administrator on the Institute of Astro- and Particle Physics and am holding a Bachelor degree in computer science as well. I use this blog to write about things that I consider worth publishing. Apart from all the silly and funny things are also some useful tools, that I wrote over the last years.
And that's the matter of the blog: To share my passion about science, technology, nature, rescue services and disaster relief.
The topics of the Blog are mostly Physics, free software, cooking, outdoor stuff, HAM radio and civil protection.
Since 2015 I'm doing my PhD in Astroparticle physics and occupied as scientific staff at the University of Innsbruck.
My special field are numerical simulations of the diffuse gamma ray background. We are developing a own simulation software called PICARD to solve the comic ray transport equation and compute gamma ray skymaps. The software is not yet public available since it's under development. Once the software becomes reliable enough, it will be published.
Gamma rays are high energetic electro-magnetic radiations, witch display a quite new window to the physical properties of a wide range of cosmic objects. They are produced different sources, where the most promising are for example supernova remnants (SNR) or pulsar wind nebulae. Prominent current experiments for observations in the gamma-ray regime are FERMI-LAT or H.E.S.S, Veritas and Magic (and other).
My Master-Thesis was about a 3d hydrodynamic simulation for Planetary Nebulae on the hydro-framework CRONOS.

Legislation, codes and guidance materials
Penalties for workplace safety offences
Employee / workerEmployerHealth and safety representative
In 2018, the Western Australian Government passed legislation to increase workplace safety and health offence penalties, under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984 (OSH Act) and the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 (MSI Act).
Level 4 penalties increase from $500,000 to a maximum $2.7 million and level 1 penalties increase from $50,000 to a $450,000 maximum. The changes include increasing the maximum term of imprisonment from two years to five years.
This information sheet answers frequently asked questions about the new penalties. Table 1 summarises the changes to the penalties under the OSH Act and MSI Act.
1. When did the new penalties come into effect?
The new penalties took effect on 3 October 2018.
2. Can offences that occurred before 3 October 2018, attract the new penalties?
No. Penalties cannot be applied retrospectively. Only safety offences that happened from 3 October 2018 may be subject to the increased penalties.
3. Are the increased penalties consistent with other jurisdictions?
The increased penalties are consistent with the national model Work Health and Safety Act, and, while jurisdictions have their own requirements, these amendments do bring WA in line with other States and Territories. The penalties have also been a further increased to recognise the inflation rate since 2010.
4. What are the four levels of safety offences?
Levels of safety offences range from level 4 to level 1, depending on the degree of seriousness and culpability.
Level 1 – applies when a person commits an offence against the OSH/MSI Acts for which a penalty is not otherwise specified
Level 2 – applies when a relevant provision is contravened but not in circumstances of gross negligence or causing death, or serious injury, to a person
Level 3 – applies when a relevant provision is contravened causing the death of, or serious harm to, a person
Level 4 – applies when a relevant provision is contravened in circumstances of gross negligence.
