Congratulations to both David Wadds and Dave Carney on passing their exam and practical assessment for the Fit2Fit scheme. The Fit2Fit RPE Fit Test Providers Accreditation Scheme is designed to confirm the competency of any person performing face piece fit testing.
Employers need to be aware it is legal requirement that workers using tight fitting respiratory protective equipment (face pieces/masks) must be fit tested by a competent person. If you are an employer are you sure that the RPE you provide to your employees fits them properly? Are you sure the face fit test was carried out competently? You ought to be, because the health of your employees could be at serious risk.

There have been big improvements over recent years in reducing the number and rate of injuries to construction workers. Despite this, construction remains a high-risk industry and accounts for a high percentage of fatal and major injuries. What is less recognised is that construction is a high-risk industry for health issues too.
Every year more working days are lost due to work-related illness compared to injuries. Statistics reveal that construction workers have a high risk of developing diseases from a number of health issues. These can be devastating for individuals and families.
This half day event, aimed at managers and supervisors, will provide up-to-date information on preventing occupational diseases. It will highlight the most important health issues specific to the construction industry, what the risks are and how to prevent them.
Book now by downloading attached booking form! Please note, this event usually books up very quickly and places will be offered on a first-come, first served basis.
WHITE VAN ROADSHOW
Carney Consultancy Limited will be attending the White Van Roadshow. The event is being run by Working Well Together (WWT) - an industry led initiative, sponsored and supported by the HSE.
The week-long White Van Roadshow, which begins Monday 26th June, aims to raise awareness about the risks workers on construction sites face every day, to try and cut the number of deaths and injuries in the industry.
In groups of 10-15, workers will visit the Roadshow for approximately half an hour to hear a series of short talks. With Occupational Health being high on HSE’s agenda, this year’s Roadshow topics will be health-related - construction dust, hand arm vibration, noise – and to coincide with the launch of the construction industry’s own mental health awareness programme, Mates in Mind, we also have Tyneside and Northumberland Mind involved in the Roadshow.
Ricky Guy, SHEQ Manager, said:
Farrans Construction is proud to be working with the Working Well Together North East group and to be hosting part of the Roadshow event. By meeting with construction workers directly on site, the Roadshow offers an excellent opportunity to share health and safety information directly with those working at the coal face.
Staff from Carney Consultancy Limited will be on hand throughout the week to answer any questions that may be asked. Our first representative on Monday 26th June 2017 will be Director Dave Carney at TEESRep Biomass Power Station alongside Tecnicas Reunidas. Dave Carney is also the Chairperson for Working Well Together - North East.

Bennett has yet to make any significant impact on the league, and Towns has yet to play a regular season NBA game. Wiggins, however, is quite proven. Let's take a look at the immediate influence Wiggins had for Minnesota last year and what we can expect from him headed into Year 2.
Flip Saunders and Co. took a bit of a risk when they traded Kevin Love to Cleveland and received Wiggins in exchange, being that Wiggins had no professional experience at the time. The trade certainly paid off for Minnesota, though.
During the 2014 season, Wiggins averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The rookie averaged 36.2 minutes of playing time and shot 43.7 percent from the field.
Wiggins seemed to hold up well with the rigor of the NBA schedule, his scoring jumping to 22.4 points per game over the final 15 games of the season. He easily earned Rookie of the Year honors, claiming 110 of 130 first-place votes.
Following the award, Saunders referred to Wiggins as "the face of our franchise." Now facing his second year, will Wiggins perform even better?
Even after an impressive debut season, Wiggins said he planned to work on several things during the offseason. He said the following back in May:
"I shot the ball well from the three-point line at the beginning of the year, middle of the year, too. And then I just felt my legs get tired or something. I have to work on the consistency of my shoot, ball-handling. Just being a student of the game. Learning more. My [basketball] IQ, getting it higher."
One thing we know for sure: Wiggins spent lots of time working out and training following the 2014-2015 season. Check out this video documenting the process:
It seems that Wiggins has added some bulk coming off his rookie year; there's certainly nothing wrong with that, and it should make a positive difference in his defensive game.
Defensively, Wiggins had a solid rookie season. He averaged a single steal and 2.9 defensive rebounds per game, which isn't too shabby from a small forward. As far as defending shots, Wiggins did well on the perimeter but less so on the inside.
According to Drew Mahowald, Wiggins held his opponents to just 37 percent shooting on attempts from more than 10 feet away from the basket. When players came closer, however, they had a higher success rate against Wiggins than against league-average defenders.
Offensively, if Wiggins maintained his scoring from 2014, the Wolves would be happy. Any increase above that will be an added bonus. Wiggins got thrown into the fire probably earlier than anticipated last year, and Minnesota found itself unable to rely on many scorers other than its rookie. Rather than crumble under pressure, however, Wiggins simply continued to put up points.
Wiggins' overall 43.7 percent got the job done, but there are areas on the floor he can improve from. Following the 2014-2015 season, Wiggins' player efficiency rating (PER) came in at 13.5, compared to the league average 15.
In breaking down his three-point shots taken throughout the season, they drop dramatically after January. October through January, Wiggins shot 36.7 percent (33-of-90) from behind the arc. From February through the end of the regular season, he shot just 16.2 percent (6-of-37) from the three-point line.
Both of these stats may be in part to the endurance factor Wiggins mentioned following the season, and the extra training should help with this as well.
I think Timberwolves fans can expect to see just as much, and probably more, from Wiggins on all areas of the court this season. Not only does he have a year of the league under his belt, but he will be surrounded by a healthier roster. Having Ricky Rubio and Shabazz Muhammad back in the lineup and adding Karl-Anthony Towns and Tyus Jones to the mix will certainly help take pressure off Wiggins, especially offensively.
He may be just 20 years old, but Wiggins is well-equipped to lead Minnesota to a more successful season and—hopefully—the postseason.

This premium-grade, high value petroleum coke is used in a variety of appliions, including the manufacture of graphite electrodes for electric arc furnaces in the steel industry. A highly crystalline form of carbon, it is typically higher in carbon and lower in ash constituents, such as sulfur and metals, than standard calcined petroleum coke.
One can of Coke contains roughly 35 grams, or 8 teaspoons, of sugar. Coca-Cola is sweetened with pure cane sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, according to where the drink is actually produced. American consumers drink Coke Classic made of high-fructose corn syrup, which is cheaper to acquire and transport within temperate climates.
Calcined petroleum coke has a sponge-like structure which plays an important role in the making of anodes. The pores allow binding material to penetrate through the coke particles and form a solid carbon block, through which aluminum smelters conduct electricity into their smelting pots.
Gas oil, LPG, and other natural gases evaporate and the petroleum coke settles at the bottom in the form of residue. The residue is nothing but petroleum needle coke, which is the desired product.

'Chef' serves up comfort food about family, second chances — and food
The quality of food-themed films is feast or famine. Too often, they use food as an excuse to explore something else.
And while that is true of "Chef" as well, food never strays from the center of the frame, and there are generous portions of it.
With "Chef," Jon Favreau returns to his "Swingers"-style indie film roots for an emotionally nourishing and music-filled labor of love about food, family and a man's quest to restore and refresh his reputation with both.
It's not a stretch to see it as a metaphor — maybe even apology — for the empty calories dished out in his "Iron Man" blockbusters.
Favreau, who wrote and directed, also stars as a talented Los Angeles chef who runs afoul of a powerful food critic and blogger, played by Oliver Platt, after he relents, against his better judgment, to pressure from his restaurant owner boss, played by Dustin Hoffman, to play it safe.
And when Favreau's social media newbie throws down the gauntlet on Twitter, the dispute goes viral and he finds himself unemployable.
He ends up on the road in a food truck, with the big-eyed, tousle-haired son he's been neglecting, appealingly played by 10-year-old Emjay Anthony; his irreverent sous chef, played by John Leguizamo; and with a ska-, salsa- and brass-driven funk soundtrack in its trunk.
In the process, he reinvents himself as a chef and father, by returning to the basics for both.
As a chef, he serves up Cuban sandwiches with Mojo marinated pork and yucca fries, and his renewed enthusiasm for his craft is the best example a father can pass on to a child.
The recipes, available for free online from BakeSpace and as an app, were created by food truck operator Roy Choi.
The film even makes the melting cheese in a grilled sandwich into food porn.
But the film's let's-put-on-a-show energy and heartfelt father-son scenes also hit the spot. Particularly affecting is a sequence with father and son bonding atop the truck as Gary Clark Jr. plays the blues outside Guero's taqueria on Austin's S. Congress Ave. The only false note(s) may be that Favreau's chef counts both Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson among his romantic attachments.
Apparently in a world where charisma and dedication to craft are aphrodisiacs, chefs really are the new rock stars.

Obama has held the upper hand in voter preferences over the last month for all but three days, with his lead reaching as much as seven percentage points. This essentially spans the time since Obama wrapped up the Democratic nomination.
McCain enjoyed a similar run in March after he clinched the GOP nomination, maintaining at least a slim numerical advantage for 19 consecutive days, though only by as many as four points during this time.

Back to the Future Brand Realities
October 20, 2015
In 1989, household names Marty Mcfly and his nutty scientist Dr Emmett Brown set their time travel date forward to October 21, 2015. Yep that’s today! The movie made a few predictions for what technology could bring to our world, some utterly crazy and some creepily accurate... For all of those Back To The Future fans out there, we took a quick look at some of the brands that have made these predictions come true.
In the 2015 time trip of Back To The Future 2 we see teenagers get around on technicolored fluro flame-spitting hover boards. Only a few months ago, luxury car brand Lexus released a teaser video for the prototype of the SLIDE, a stylish modern real-life hoverboard. Although the ride looks smooth and appealing, the clever team behind the campaign have tricked us all into thinking the SLIDE is a smooth ride over concrete playgrounds. However as the prototype relies on a scientific system of conductors and magnets, the team had to build an entire park of steel for the prototype to actually work.
The idea of this may seem normal to us now, but back in 1989 the concept was merely just that - a concept. Today we have Skype, Apple, Google, Snapchat and a plethora of brands to thank for this technology dream becoming an everyday reality.
While the fashion trends from the Back To The Future films are iconically 80s, there are a number of high fashion brands today that are taking inspiration from the movies futuristic predictions. Brands such as Balenciaga and Pedro Lourenco are embracing colour blocking, boxy jackets and metallic moto jackets seen throughout the cult film.

The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has accused the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) government of secretly meeting with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Sept. 30, after Finance Ministry Berat Albayrak unveiled the government's New Economic Program (YEP).
CHP spokesman Faik Öztrak criticized the unveiling of the YEP on the last day of the month when it is legally supposed to be announced within the first week of the month. He claimed that the reason for this was that the government had been in talks with the IMF for eleven days, but had declined to reveal this to the public.
“Just as they did with McKinsey, they are pulling secret, hidden deals with the IMF. With this they will try to convince foreign investors to bring money into the country. But they shouldn't bother, an understanding of management that lacks competence and jurisprudence will neither convince investors nor our country,” Öztrak said, referring to the McKinsey firm, an American consulting firm that the opposition criticized Albayrak for working with last year.
“The fragilities of Turkey's economy can no longer fit into a sack. Today the foreign debt figures were announced. Compared to 2018, they increased by $2.3 billion, for at total of $447 billion. It went from 56.3 percent to 62 percent of the country's GDP. This is a terrible record that we have not previously witnessed in the history of the Turkish republic. We didn't even experience this during the crises of 2000 and 2009,” Öztrak said.
AKP had first accused CHP for the very same thing
The CHP's accusations of the government secretly meeting with the IMF comes one week after the AKP accused the CHP and the right-wing nationalist Good Party (İP) of doing the very same thing.
“It has been revealed that the CHP conducted a secret, closed meeting. The IMF is an international organization, and Turkey is a member. Of course the CHP can have a meeting but why is it held secretly? What was discussed, was the CHP given a roll? Was this deliberately concealed from the public?” said AKP deputy Mehmet Muş.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is denying he fostered an environment that led to the prisoner-abuse scandal in Iraq and claimed the militarys mishandling of inmates was not as bad as what the terrorists have done, according to a report in The Washington Post.
Does it rank up there with chopping someones head off on television? he said. It doesnt.
Rumsfeld said he did authorize harsher interrogation methods for terrorist suspects but claimed these rules were meant only for the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and had nothing to do with Iraq.
Critics have been saying for months that the ultimate responsibility for the abuse scandal may rest with the White House and the Pentagon. They created confusion when they decided in 2002 that prisoners at Guantanamo Bay did not come under provisions of the Geneva Convention and then tried to change long-time rules of detention, interrogation and trials to suit the war against terrorism.
Appearing at the National Press Club, Rumsfeld was asked if he contributed to a climate that led to prisoner abuse. He said he approved two new techninques for Guantanamo but later rescinded them because military officers questioned them. Rumsfeld said he assembled some lawyers to study the subject.
Rumsfeld told the assembled press that the procedures were not torture and were intended for use on only two people.
Pentagon investigations in recent months, however, have found about 300 allegations of prisoners killed, raped, beaten and victimized by other mistreatment at U.S. prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay since the anti-terror campaign began.
Rumsfeld reeled off a long list of statistics in support of his argument, saying there have been 11 investigations into such abuse, 950 people interviewed, 45 referred for courts-martial and 23 soldiers discharged from the service.
The people whove done something wrong are being prosecuted, the investigations are still underway…and corrective steps have been taken, Rumsfeld said.

A study suggests avoiding propofol for intraprocedural sedation during catheter-directed interventions (CDIs) for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) because it can have detrimental effects. Propofol is the most commonly used parenteral anaesthetic agent in the USA, extensively used for minor and outpatient surgical procedures because of its rapid onset and reversal of action, and in intensive care units for maintenance of coma.
The single-centre, retrospective study is reported in the May 2021 issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders.
Over the past decade, using CDIs to treat intermediate-risk PE has increased because of the presumed similar therapeutic benefits compared with systemic thrombolysis, in addition to a better safety profile. These procedures are performed using intravenous anaesthetics with sedative and hypnotic properties, usually in conjunction with opioids for adequate pain control.
According to corresponding author Efthymios Avgerinos (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, USA), researchers sought to assess “whether using propofol during CDIs for submassive PE is associated with in-hospital intra- or post-procedural major adverse events”.
The research team studied consecutive patients who had undergone CDIs for acute intermediate-risk submassive PE from 2009 to 2019. Submassive PE was defined as right ventricular strain without systemic hypotension. The primary endpoint was any major adverse event defined by postoperative intubation, progression to massive PE, the need for surgical conversion or in-hospital death.
Patient characteristics of the 340 patients studied included age 59±15 years, and 174 men (51%).
The procedures involved:
- standard thrombolysis (85),
- ultrasound assisted thrombolysis (229), and
- suction catheter embolectomy (26).
Thirty-six patients (11%) received propofol during their procedure; the remaining received midazolam plus a narcotic.
Overall, 18 of the 340 patients experienced at least one major adverse event including:
- 10 intubations,
- 11 decompensations,
- 2 surgical conversions, and
- 3 deaths.
The patients receiving propofol had a higher major adverse event rate (14%) versus the non-propofol group (4%, p=0.015). Propofol was a predictive factor for adverse events with an odds ratio of 3.8 (p=0.03).
“Propofol has increased in popularity after demonstrating satisfactory amnestic effects in addition to a fast recovery profile. The results of our study demonstrate a high safety profile for CDIs for acute submassive PE, yet a detrimental effect from the use of this drug,” said Avgerinos.
“Although we hypothesise that the mechanism for this adverse effect is blood pressure fluctuations (mainly hypotension) combined with a failing right ventricle, the exact pathophysiology is unknown,” said Avgerinos.
A limitation of this study is the lack of standardisation of anaesthetic care, as the anaesthesia team provided the sedation in the operating room while the operating physician provided that care when the procedure was done in an interventional suite. Nonetheless, propofol should be used with caution in caring for critically ill patients, especially with PE, the study concluded.

Beautiful work in symphony
BRISBANE Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Antoni Bonetti, so enjoyed accompanying cellist Patrick Murphy in 2016 that he was promptly invited to return.
This internationally renowned Brisbane based cellist will perform Dvorak’s beautiful cello concerto at Lake Kawana Community Centre on Sunday, November 19 at 3pm.
This personal work is intensely national in tone with Bohemian rhythms and melodies.
BSO is also proud to present Waltz by the orchestra’s own resident composer, Matthew Hoey. Matthew has composed a number of pieces and Waltz shows once again his mastery of touch and timing.
Since it starts in 4/4 (rather than 3/4) it may be rather difficult for the audience to leap to its feet in a waltz, but they can try.
Danish composer Carl Nielsen also features nationalism in his Symphony No. 1.
Like Dvorak, this symphony is infused with what music critic Karl Haas called “good symphonic Danish fare”, but leavened and transformed by Nielsen’s unique style.

Now, the official integration will bring many opportunities to the two organisations in terms of services and technological advancements “that will be able to help pipeline operators operate their pipelines safely and efficiently”, said NDT Global Senior Vice-President Andy Bain.
“We truly believe this integration marks the start of a new chapter of what has already been a great story for NDT Global and Halfwave,” he said.
“We are excited about adding ART to our portfolio as it perfectly complements NDT Global’s Ultrasonic Technology (UT) solutions.
“NDT Global is now a single supplier of gas and liquid pipeline inspections and integrity management services.”
Halfwave is the owner of the proprietary Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART), an ultrasound-based technique that allows high-precision measurements in imperfect conditions and without the need for liquid couplant.
The ART technique allows NDT Global to enter the in-service gas pipeline segment and present an alternative to MFL and EMAT testing.

I have heard that Proton Saga is a good car.
My friend bought Saga three months ago and he is still very happy his car and has never complained it any problem. He explained me some advantages with comparing local cars of 1300cc as the following below:
Suspension: better than Baleno and Honda city model 1999 to 2002
Brake: Saga has very good brake and works very work. Saga does good grip on the road but the car runs smoothly.
Distance on CNG: Saga give much better kilometer per gas than Baleno and Honda City(1999 to 2002)
Engine: Saga's engine is well-built and stronger. It is same engine of Lancer 85 to 88. This engine is very successful in Pakistan and still run better on CNG.
I also agree with autobanda what he has epxlained about lancer's engine in this topic.
Features: Keyless entry, Anti-Theif system, CD-player, Pakring sensor, rear spoiler, rear crystal lights and many others.
If you are interested on CNG, you can go for SAGA as you like. If you interested to use on Petrol, go for any local or imported cars

Juvenile Justice Bill, 2015
The word Juvenile refers to a young and immature person; Juvenile delinquency refers to the illegal behavior of minors. The Bill was proposed as a result of the Delhi Gang Rape case of 16th December 2012 wherein it was found that one of the convict was only six months short of becoming a major, i.e. 18 years of age. He was tried under JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT,2000 in which the maximum punishment amounts to three years of confinement in the juvenile home.
A case in England, known as the infamous James Bulger case in 1993. Here, a 2 year old child was murdered by two 10 year olds and hence, they were tried as adults and were convicted for life.
Subramanian Swamy, A BJP leader filed a PIL in honorable SUPREME COURT OF INDIA that the boy should be tried under INDIAN PENAL CODE as an adult and not the JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT for the case. Also, there arose a mass public protest with respect to the same. Women and child minister Maneka Gandhi said that the ministry is preparing a new law in which the juvenile
aged between 16-18 would be treated as an adult and under INDIAN PENAL CODE for the heinous crimes. Serious offences which would lead to 3-7 years of imprisonment. Petty offences which would be for below 3 years of imprisonment. Another point to note here is that a juvenile cannot be given life imprisonment ‘without the possibility of release or death penalty’.
The bill omits a provision from the Act (JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT 2000) which provided for the separate treatment of juveniles or children suffering from leprosy, sexually transmitted disease, Hepatitis B, Tuberculosis, or with unsound minds.
The Bill is not just about juvenile offenders and what happens to them. There are other provisions also, including those on foster care and easing of adoption rules.
Foster care would enable children to be placed with willing families instead of children’s homes, and the government would pay for this. It seeks to make Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) a statutory body, which means it will have powers to regulate inter-country adoptions, and issue guidelines on adoption and related matters.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child requires all signatory countries to treat every child under the age of 18 years as equal. The provision of trying a juvenile as an adult contravenes the Convention.

What happens when we start to believe in magic? Do we fall prey to fantasy and make believe? Or are we able to create something from that pure energy of imaginative knowing? These are the very questions that The Magic of Mindfulness is trying to answer. Based off of real experience and years of dedication, the author, Karen McDermott, shows us what happens if we open our minds to the idea of possibility. We’ve often heard the word “manifest” thrown about as a way to attract what we desire to ourselves. That if we simply wish it, it can come into being. The truth however is a bit more complicated. Yes, we can manifest things into being but it is a matter of dedication. Whether we actually believe in its power makes all the difference.
When I started The Magic of Mindfulness, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. However, the more I thought about it and the more I read, the more it started to make sense. People like to idealize “hustle” culture and that if we want something, it has to cost us everything we have. After reading this book, I have come to believe that it does not necessarily have to be true. Most people try to limit their thinking by saying that if only they had enough they could buy so and so. If we redirected our thinking to simply accepting that our goals will come, we save energy that can be sent out into doing the very thing we achieve to do. Karen Weaver does a fantastic job of explaining this idea and illustrating it in her well crafted book. Everything about this book is intentional, even down to the book cover. At first I thought, ‘oh what a neat looking cover’, but as explained in the books introduction the image represents something much greater.
While the book is filled with lots of intellectually invigorating content, there were moments where I felt like somethings were repeated. But this is a minor issue in a book that is replete with compelling and potentially life changing information that will enable you to reach your highest self.
The Magic of Mindfulness is overflowing with love and kindness. You can feel it in all of Karen’s words. In this potent personal development book readers will discover the power of intention and will be provided with practical guidance, including exercises and a notes section, that they can use to reach their highest potential.

This isn’t your father’s sci-fi novel. Mark Tullius’ 25 Perfect Days Plus 5 More is an eerie look at a future world of pain, control and agony. The characters have so much to lose and very little to gain. It’s a fantastic, gripping tale that betrays a terrifying glimpse at a future where religion meets Big Brother and all the destruction that comes from the union. For reasons not fully explained the earth is deteriorating. Food is scare, water is poisoned and the people are frightened. Due to the extremist nature of the men at the head of the church of The Way and their relationship with politics tiny laws begin to be passed here and there that seem harmless at first. But these are just a smokescreen for the madness that follows and threatens to swallow up and distort humanity as we know it today.
Compiled in an easy-to-read format of short stories which are all intertwined 25 Perfect Days Plus 5 More takes the reader on a journey through forty years. We watch as characters age, fall in their battle, procreate and attempt to carry on the fight. Seemingly innocent and small interactions are expanded upon as the years tick by and the tiny threads that bind all the characters together are strong. The cast of this adventure is large and while there is a appendix at the end of the book which identifies each one and key points of their story, it’s recommended not to look at it until you read the entire book for the first time. There are spoilers in that explanation and it’s thrilling to read it afterwards and find out if how you thought you organized things in your head match the path Tullius paved.
Tullius times each story perfectly. They’re packed with plenty of action and none of them feel too short or too long. Just enough information is given in each piece to keep the reader hooked and dying to know more. In this twisted world which shares some alarming similarities to the world we currently live in it’s hard to separate some friends from foes. Children are stripped of all their innocence, friends and family are pitted against each other and those who try to put up even a tiny amount of resistance are viciously brutalized.
The fabric of the world the reader will find themselves in is wonderfully woven. Each character that has a name is a piece of the overall puzzle, no matter how small it may seem at the time. The execution of such an intense and intricate story line without missing a beat or faltering on obscure facts shows the depth of Tullius’ writing skills.
In this embattled world where we’re left wondering what exactly happened in Canada, as a reader you can’t help but feel agony over the situations the characters find themselves in. There is no discrimination; the poor and the wealthy are all victims of this post-apocalyptic world where God has abandoned all designs.

I live and work in Malvern, Worcestershire, UK. I am primarily a clarinettist and saxophonist and spend my time teaching instrumental and curriculum music in schools and playing in various groups. When I am not out and about I am usually at my computer composing, arranging or engraving and editing music.
I studied the clarinet initially with Doug Drake, then with Bernard Griffiths and at Leeds University with Paul Orton, who also introduced me to the saxophone. Much of my playing happens with the Malvern Big Band, our local Chandos Symphony Orchestra and the Black Pear Symphonic Winds.

Building Planning & Surveying
Planners manage our towns and countryside on everyone's behalf. They have to encourage development for the purpose of economic growth while at the same time protecting our environment and architectural heritage.
Their main role is to balance various needs (those of the environment, the local economy and the local population) and to come up with innovative solutions. There are also opportunities for planning support staff, who assist planners in their work.
- understanding population trends, to predict the demands that will be made on an area, whether urban or rural
- working with other professionals, such as architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, construction managers and surveyors
- liaising with the public and councillors, attending public meetings about planning issues, such as proposals for a new road or school
- knowledge of the legal issues associated with land use
- making policies and implementing them
- working both indoors and outdoors and presenting evidence at meetings
- objectively analysing and evaluating other peoples' evidence
- preparing reports and plans relating to a variety of projects – from house extensions to international airports
Personal Qualities and Skills
Key skills for town and country planners
- Verbal and written communication skills
- Commercial awareness
- Project management
- Teamworking skills
- Research skills
- Ability to work on a number of different problems at once
Pay And Opportunities
Typical employers of town and country planners
- Local councils
- National government
- Private consultants
- Property owning charities such as the National Trust and English Heritage
- Property developers
Qualifications and training
Some positions will require or desire candidates to be a chartered Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (MRTPI). They can do this by taking an Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).

BÌNH PHƯỚC – Bình Phước Province has earmarked VNĐ120.6 billion (US$5.1 million) this year for an annual programme to help 1,000 poor ethnic households escape poverty.
It will be used to build houses and toilets for them, supply water and electricity for those living in remote areas, create livelihoods, provide soft loans to carry on small businesses, breed livestock, and buy agricultural production tools like grass cutting and sawing machines and sprayers.
The south-eastern province has 40 ethnic groups with 198,884 people, accounting for 19.7 per cent of its population.
It began implementing the annual programme in 2019, and has helped more than 5,000 ethnic households escape poverty since.
It seeks to double the 2020 per capita income of ethnic people within the next two years, provide all of them access to power and 99 per cent of them with safe water.
It also implements a national programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
It has provided many ethnic households with soft loans for doing farming or business.
Trương Thanh Chung, a poor ethnic person living in Sóc Nê Hamlet in Bù Đốp District’s Tân Tiến Commune, received a soft loan worth VNĐ100 million ($4,300) to buy cows for breeding calves.
His family bought four cows and built a cattle shed, he said.
“My family is tending the cows carefully so that they are able to reproduce soon and my family’s economy will be better.”
Under the programme, ethnic people can borrow up to VNĐ100 million for 10 years.
Hoàng Văn Thọ, head of Sóc Nê Hamlet’s savings and loan group, said all borrowers had used the loans for the purpose agreed to.
The group regularly checks and reminds them to use the loans properly, according to Thọ.
The province’s socio-political organisations such as the Women’s Union help their members with livelihoods to escape poverty.
The Bù Gia Mập District Women’s Union, for instance, helps its members breed livestock and grow fruits and other crops.
Thị Dên, an ethnic person in Đa Kia Commune, lacked money to do farming and worked as a daily labourer. The union helped her get a soft loan of VNĐ50 million ($2,100) from Việt Nam Bank for Social Policy to raise pigs, chicken and ducks and grow vegetables in 2021.
She now earns VNĐ200 million ($8,500) a year and has escaped poverty.
“My family’s income has increased and our life has stabilised," she said – VNS

Essex Kings Head pub destroyed in 'suspicious' fire
An investigation is under way after a "suspicious" blaze ripped through the roof of a pub in Essex.
Crews were called to the Kings Head in Bradwell-on-Sea about 17:30 BST on Friday where the fire was "well developed", said Essex Fire and Rescue.
Five engines attended the incident which "affected the whole of the pub", said incident commander Dave Moore.
The fire was extinguished just before 19:00 BST, but crews remained on the scene overnight. Nobody was hurt.
The cause of the blaze "is thought to be suspicious", said a fire service spokeswoman.

Has anyone seen this yet? Just found out about it today (in Sound and Vision). Just wondering if anyone has seen it, because it would just add to the great number of options we have today (last comment is arguable).
I don't know but one can sure buy more than several Panamorphs for $15K! http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Seriously doubt this projector will be $5 grand better than the new Sanyo 16:9 LCD!
Jaron, it's my understanding the 6 section color wheel, which will be showing up on all DLPs shortly, pretty much eliminates rainbow artifacts. When combined with superior processing like DWIN has, this should make rainbow a non-issue with most projectors.
Be interesting to see if Yamaha makes the switch to 6 section prior to introducing their new projector. At CES, it had a great picture except for rampant rainbow. It did really well with U571, a real torture test for digital projectors.
The interesting thing here is that the 0.9 chip can handle the new 6 section color wheel but the 0.7 can not. I was told by a reasonable source that both Dwin and Yamaha can impliment this change with a software upgrade.
The other interesting thing was I have heard is the new 1280x1024 (0.9) chip is priced at a much lower price and has a better contrast ratio over the 1280x720 chip. It is also apparent that the widescreen chip prevents the better uniformity of brightness from the center to the edges of the 1:33 chip.
as far as I know SIM2 will also bring us a "HT300" with the 720x1280 dlp-chip in the near future. Also a special wide-angle optics and a whisper-version is announced for all SIM2 HT units. The 720x1280 resolution is specially designed for HT applications - real 16:9. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif
1280x1024 means 5:4 format. Therefore I doubt that there will be a HT-product using it. Also I would assume that the units shown at the CES with 720x1280 resolution - Sharp... - didn't use the finished chip for frontprojectors - which is not the same used in RPTV's. They were told to have lesser contrast.

Food magazines can be a great source of recipes, tips and inspiration for new cooks and this month I’m reviewing one of my favourites, Olive magazine.This spring saw the redesign of Olive magazine, a food publication that features a mix of practical and aspirational recipes, food trends, restaurant reviews and adventures to far flung food destinations.
I have had a fond and fruitful relationship with Olive magazine. When I started getting interested in cooking and also gaining an understanding of my own food culture and trends it provided a great and accessible gateway to modern food. Having just started university and living with a limited shared kitchen I found that the magazine was filled with simple but interesting recipes which required 10 or less ingredients, which is fantastic when you are just getting started.
When I speak to people who are want to cook more but feel daunted by the amount of blogs, sites and books out there I always recommend starting with magazines as they usually have a great mix of recipes which are presented concisely and their editorial process means they can sum up whole trends in one feature with some carefully selected – and crucially — TESTED recipes. Because no editor wants letters from “Irate cook of Plymouth” or “Ticked off and starving in Hounslow” following failed recipes and particularly in an age of social media, they really make sure their recipes work with writers and often staff members testing the recipes several times ahead of publication which takes a lot of the stress out of things for newbie cooks.
The only way to become a confident and intuitive cook is by cooking a lot and you do a lot worse than working your way through some editions of your favourite food magazines and this is how Olive magazine helped me in my own food journey. I found that after a few years I didn’t have to constantly refer to my stack of past issues and that the techniques, processes and ideas they contained had seasoned my cooking which then gave me confidence when thinking of dishes or sifting through food blogs.
On an even more personal note when I was first with my fianceé Michael, I got really ill and was hospitalised over a bank holiday. With most of my friends and family away I had no option but to call my then boyfriend of a few weeks to bring me some overnight supplies. He was every bit the knight in shining armour, travelling from south to north London and back again to bring me a wash kit, some ‘clean food’ and – the latest edition of Olive magazine which I hadn’t asked for but was delighted with as it showed just how well he already knew me and that this one was definitely ‘a keeper’!
Having been a bit of a nomad over the last couple of years since giving up our flat and travelling then moving with work I have to admit I haven’t been buying many food magazines recently but now settled in my own place again it seemed like fortuitous timing to see that Olive magazine was relaunching this spring so I thought now would be a great time to catch up to see what’s new.
First some background, Olive editor Laura Rowe describes the publication as:
“Britain’s brightest food magazine, brought to you by a team of passionate (and greedy) experts that live and breath the stuff. Alongside creating a collection of the season’s smartest recipes, with stunning photography to boot, we are busy reviewing the UK’s newest restaurants, and travelling around the world tracking down the food and drink joints that you’ll want to add to your holiday itinerary.”
Available in print, tablet, and online Olive has a reach of over 202K with most readers being women aged over 45, which makes it great for families looking to mix up their family meals at home and away.
Rather than an all out relaunch, the latest changes are very much just a redesign, with changes to the presentation of content, with a slight change in print format, some new typography and also in the running order of content.
Visually I think the changes have struck the right balance of freshness and awareness of current trends such as handwritten fonts without losing a sense of the magazine’s identity.
The food styling is well executed with evocative seasonal colours and a raw authenticity which makes the dishes look achievable at home. . My favourite feature in terms of photography was ‘Feast’ by Mowie Kay as she has captured a lot of interest in each shot with great props and styling while still letting the finished dish take the limelight. I did find that later on in the issue, some of the photography and became a little bit repetitive with lots of pale grey wooden backgrounds and not a lot of thoughtful styling (I did cringe a bit at the shot of the nasty generic Mexican Sol beer served with a vibrant sounding Bang Bang Chicken salad, a mellow but zingy weissbier would have been more up my street!)
The major change in the redesign has bring to bring the more of the recipes together in the “Cook” section and to bring that forward in the page order to help readers “find your favourite bits faster” according to the editor’s letter.
It’s certainly good to have most of the recipes together if you’re looking for inspiration as you can easily flit between recipes and compare things you feel like making.
While recipes are a big part of Olive’s appeal the chance to explore the wider food scene and read about restaurant news or research new destinations is also great and it helps to have all this presented together in the second part of the publication as you definitely go to this content with a different intention and it would be something you’d return to for a long read.
There are some nice new features in the new issue, I particularly liked ‘Fridge Raider” which gives you the chance to see the contents of different foodies each month. This first edition it was the turn of “inspirational instagrammer” Clerkenwell Boy whose fridge featured some rather exciting essentials including Indonesian Sambal Chilli sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, ‘nduja (spreadable Italian sausage) and craft gin makers Jensen’s Old Tom Negroni. This is a great feature for food geeks as it’s nice to discover some new staple ingredients and also check off what you have in your own fridge (mine was homemade jam, pickled cucumbers, capers and about 4 different cheeses). I have to admit I hadn’t heard of Clerkenwell Boy before so it was also great to discover his fantastic profile that captures an amazing life in food and London. He also inspired me to seriously step up the drinks department in my fridge, I think I want a life where I am never far away from Coldbrew Coffee, premixed Negronis, English sparkling wine and unsweetened Ugly drinks.
This issue’s “Eat” looking at restaurants and food news was headlined with family friendly places to eat. There was some good recommendations here and they definitely met the mag’s promise to be more geographically representative and “nationally relevant” with restaurants from St Ives to Edinburgh via Cardiff and Cheshire represented. I did find the London entries a little odd, the Delaunay wouldn’t be my first port of call with kids in the capital and the option spending £45 per person so you can rent a room where kids can “hook up a laptop or games console to a flat screen TV” sounded pretty depressing to me. Having just moved to the south coast it also would have been nice to have at least one recommendation from down here, and I know for a fact that Brighton has some amazing family friendly places that would have been well worth a mention.
The “Eat” and “Explore” sections of Olive have always been a bit beyond me and this edition was no different but I think that’s more to do with me being 15 years younger and a few pay scales below the average Olive reader! That being said it’s always great to read about fantastic and esteemed restaurants to get a feel for what’s going on in food. “Explore” section is wonderful for some much needed escapism over your coffee with Malmo and Florence, two places that are firmly on my foodie bucket list featured.
There is a massive spectrum of recipes in this one issue and it would be a great starting point to inspire some new cooking at home.
There were about 7 recipes that I was really interested in trying. This included a Tuna melt with spring onion confit that I know Michael would love, although with an hours cooking time it’s hard to know how I would quite fit this snack into our weekends at the mo so it might have to wait to be a lighter dinner for warmer weather. The milk fondants by chic French Chelsea eatery Bandol look surprisingly easy and like a great casual but crowd pleasing dessert.
The recipe I decided to test for the purpose of review was Anna Glover’s Ginger chicken dumpling soup from a feature filled with low calorie, low fat ideas. This section probably best represented the current food I’m cooking with overnight oats and veggie chilli a regular at home at the moment and this soup looked perfect for a cold night. For my dumpling soup I did make a couple of substitutions, chicken mince proved hard to find so I supplemented with turkey mince which worked well but I didn’t get the nice white dumplings as in the picture. I also added some Japanese miso noodles which worked really well and were perfect for us as we’re greedy and not currently on any calorie counting diet. The dish turned out really well and it’s a great flexible recipe that ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to nutrition. It also gave me the opportunity to stock up and get to know my new Asian supermarket which I always find are treasure troves of the weird and wonderful.
There was a lot of baking featured which I don’t remember being such a big part of the magazine in the past (thats the GBBO factor for you). I did love the look of the Peanut butter layer cake and the baked Easter spiced donuts looked wonderful but sorry, I’m just not enough of a dedicated baker or donut eater to go through 3 hours of proving time.
I would have liked to have tried a few more recipes but most didn’t quite fit with my current schedule as the ones I fancied were longer cooks like Portuguese Custard tarts (although the brilliant pictorial recipe definitely means I’ve vowed to make these soon).
I loved the “Freezer Fillers” recipe for making a batch of mini lamb hotpots as I find cooking for the freezer to be a really important part of family cooking and one that is still not seen as particularly fashionable or inspiring. This recipe looked delicious and clear instructions of timings and freezing and reheating are really useful and Olive have a good archive of similar recipes on their site.
Surprisingly absolutely nothing in the “Cook Everyday” feature grabbed my attention, these are quick midweek dishes and the kind I always used to cook from Olive. Thinking about it I have realised that I already make a lot of these dishes such as fish cakes, soup, pasta and sardines on toast pretty regularly and they are great ‘go to recipes’ when we need feeding fast and don’t have much in. I think looking over this article made me realise how I had changed as a cook in the last few years having got a few techniques and regular dishes pinned down. For someone who’s looking for some different but quick dishes or to build their repertoire this feature is indispensable and I’m glad to see it continue in Olive.
Reconnecting with Olive was like meeting an old friend, we’d both changed a little and this meant we had to find new ground on which to connect but we are still cooking and enjoying a lot of the same things which it was good to share!
I’m definitely interested to see new features develop and would buy the magazine again, especially to find some great seasonal recipes once the growing season is in full spring this year.
Olive remains a great magazine for those looking to engage with current food trends and shake up their weekly meal plans with recipes that are guaranteed to work and are on the whole really attainable.

Ever feel like you’re hungry for “no reason”?
By “no reason”, I mean that you’re eating enough food to count as a full meal… but then a half hour later you’re still hungry. Or… you’re hungry all the time, whether you just ate a full meal or not.
Here are 12 reasons why you still feel hungry even a short time after you ate:
Sometimes, you feel hungry just after eating because you haven’t had enough water. Dehydration can cause intense hunger throughout the day regardless of food intake.
Sometimes, it’s not about needing nutrients or needing food that makes us feel super hungry – it’s about craving specific tastes. It’s very easy to mistake a strong psychological craving to taste, say, ice cream, as actual physical hunger.
You’re “lusting” after a specific taste, and it can trick you into eating when you’re not actually hungry at all.
3. Psychological Hunger
Sometimes, feeling hunger has nothing to do with whether our bodies actually require food or not. For many people, eating food helps them calm down and reduce psychological pain. Lots of people eat when they’re nervous, or bored, or upset, or scared, or stressed… you get the idea.
Use these 12 foods to control your appetite
It’s very easy to become addicted to the feeling of eating a delicious food. If you eat out too often, it’s easy to start becoming addicted to butter, or salt – two ingredients that restaurants use a lot of in their foods.
In addition, there are chemicals added to some types of processed foods that skip past your body’s mechanisms for feeling full and make you crave that food over and over again – like a drug.
5. Eating Too Fast
Lots of people feel crunched for time and have to eat fast – but when you eat on the run, you wind up messing up your body’s satiety cycle over the long hall. Eating quickly doesn’t allow your body to release the hormone that signals feeling full – and so you never feel full, no matter how much you eat. Try eating slower to wind up eating less.
Don’t eat these 10 “healthy” foods… they’re junk food in disguise!
Sometimes, when you drink some wine or some beer during a meal, you can be making yourself hungry.
That’s because scientists have found that alcohol increases the amount of the hormone ghrelin in your body which triggers you feeling hungry.
7. Not Getting Enough Sleep
The hormone leptin is critical for your body to be able to feel full. The problem is – when you’re not getting enough sleep at night, your body can’t produce enough leptin – impairing your ability to feel full. Plus, when you don’t sleep enough, your body makes more ghrelin – which we talked about before as inducing hunger.
8. Pressure From Your Peers
It’s hard to say no to an unhealthy choice when you’re alone – when you’re with a group of other people, forget about it! Being with friends or family that are eating desserts or unhealthy foods makes it much harder to say no to them – especially when you want to eat them in the first place! The only way to manage this pressure is to be aware of it, and respond accordingly.
9. Watching Too Much tv
Studies have shown that while you watch TV you’re more likely to eat processed foods, soft drinks, and other high calorie options – not what you want for feeling full and healthy!
10. Not Eating Breakfast
A lot of people convince themselves they “don’t have time” to eat in the morning – and wind up sentencing themselves to feel hungry all day. That’s because when you don’t eat breakfast, your metabolism slows down, forces your body to feel hungry, and then storing the food you do eat as fat instead of using it for energy.
11. Diet Soda
Diet soda can actually screw with your appetite a lot . That’s because when we taste something sweet, our bodies naturally expect sugar – or at least a lot of calories – to be ingested. When that doesn’t happen, it screws up our bodies appetites, causing us to feel hungrier.
12. Chewing Gum
When you chew gum (even sugar free gum!) it stimulates your mouth to produce lots of saliva – which is swallowed and sent to your stomach. Then, after getting all that saliva in its stomach, your body expects food to follow – and when it doesn’t get it, it gets hungry.
Are you always hungry? Why do you think that is and what’s your strategy to deal with it?
The Biggest Reasons You Always Feel Hungry
- Psychological hunger
- Eating too fast
- Not getting enough sleep
- Pressure from your peers
- Watching too much tv
- Not eating breakfast
- Diet soda
- Chewing gum
