AboutEditCheerilee is a a unicorn pony from Unicornia. She's generally the one to look after Rarity and is shown giving the lesson on making the first rainbow of the season in The Runaway Rainbow. She isn't easily distracted and is somewhat strict when doing a lesson to make sure the viewer (often Rarity) is listening.
Cheerilee originally was violet with reddish pink hair. She first appears in The Runaway Rainbow explaining the process to Rarity using the special magic wand that will make the first rainbow appear. When Rarity disappears, she's one of the unicorns to look for her but isn't optomistic about getting the first rainbow in time. In fact, she is hesitant to put her horn with the others to help make the first rainbow appear. She then appears for the song "So Far Apart" where she and Rarity form a duet to sing about their troubles. She is also one of the ponies with a shooting star that appears as the time draws near to make that first rainbow.In 2008, a 2nd pony named Cheerilee appears as part of the Core 7 era of G3 after being previously named 'Cherry Blossom". This pony was dark reddish purple with light pink, pink and purple hair and bright greeen eyes. She loves to read stories her only apperances are the G3 comics (as Cherry Blossom), Twinkle Wish Adventure, where she's even younger and the animated shorts.
- Cheerilee is one of multiple characters to be later given incarnations in the FiM cartoon. The others are Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo Sunny Daze, Peachy Pie. Minty has also been released as a G4 toy but has made no apperances on the show.
- Cheerilee was only released as a Styling Size figurine.
- Contrary to the original Cheerilee, the Cheerilee that was in Core 7's era is related to the Core 7 version of Scootaloo. In fact, Scootaloo is her little sister.

So the project has come to an end… but what have we achieved?
Our final objective was to get the Pi/Roomba/Ros/Laser combination set-up and working, such that the Robot can move around an environment and avoid obstacles. As a further goal, we aimed to also have the robot moving around a room, map it out and then navigate around it. Most of this has been complete, apart from the part which enables the robot to navigate around a self-created map and tell the robot to move to certain locations in the map.
Infact, by the end of this week, we managed to finish all of our initial goals that we set out to complete in the first day of the project. Along the way, a lot of changes have been made as to how we achieve this goal (e.g. Using laser instead of Kinect) but nevertheless, we managed to achieve it. Furthermore, most of the last week was spent working on implementing the navigation stack into the project and the first goal was to get the robot mapping out the room. By the end of the week we managed this after a lot of complications! Simply understanding how the navigation stack works was a feat in itself, due to the vast amount of documentation and files that need to be set-up to do with transformation trees. After some guidance from our supervisor, we managed to fix a lot of problems and discovered that the root of a big problem was due to the fact that the time and date set on the Raspberry Pi was not accurate, which resulted in any recorded ROS messages becoming un-usable. Combining this understanding with our current obstacle avoiding package, we were able to create a number of maps, two of which are show below!
This first one was quite simply created by setting up a small square(ish) enclosure in which the robot was placed. After recording it moving around for a short period of time, the rosbag file was played back into the gmapping stack which uses SLAM and thus the map was created. While the map was being created, it was impressive to watch it all play back in RViz, which is something that could quite easily be shown as a demonstration and/or visualization when shown at Open Days etc.
This second map is our attempt at mapping an entire room, which didn’t exactly turn out perfectly and has some notable faults. The section in the center where no map has been created is an area where obstacles are located, however they do not appear as they should. This is most likely occurring due to the amount of rotations which the program used to map the area, which as a result meant that the odometry was very in-accurate. This could be greatly improved by simply improving the program to rotate less often or slower. Unfortunately, we did not managed to implement our ultimate goal, that included a system which allows the user to specify points in the map, which would then allow the robot to autonomously navigate to that located. From inspection, it would not be hard to include this, due to the fact that the navigation stack within ROS handles a lot of this by itself.
In terms of the actual robot set-up itself, the final product looks something like the following!
The top half of the image shows the guts of the robot, which also highlights the set-up used during the project. Due to the fact that we have a lot of components which require a lot of power, two battery packs were needed to ensure that constant and sufficient power was being pumped into the system. It is possible to power it just from one battery pack, however it then becomes unreliable. At the moment, this is quite a hacked up and janky set-up, however it does the job and the aesthetics can be sorted later ;-). A lot of thought went into the set-up of this robot and various different set-ups have been tried and tested.
Now that the project is over, the whole team is happy that we managed to achieve a lot in just three weeks and have genuinely enjoyed the project throughout. A lot of times have certainly been frustrating (most commonly due to the Pi causing problems!) but the team managed to work through and complete everything in a timely fashion. We hope we have managed to set a strong foundation for some other budding ROS-users to come along and continue working on this project!

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!
Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Sora can move as silently as a ghost and hurl throwing stars with lethal accuracy. Her gemina, Daemon, can win any physical fight blindfolded and with an arm tied behind his back. They are apprentice warriors of the Society of Taigas—marked by the gods to be trained in magic and the fighting arts to protect the kingdom of Kichona.
As their graduation approaches, Sora and Daemon look forward to proving themselves worthy of belonging to the elite group—but in a kingdom free of violence since the Blood Rift Rebellion many years ago, it’s been difficult to make their mark. So when Sora and Daemon encounter a strange camp of mysterious soldiers while on a standard scouting mission, they decide the only thing to do to help their kingdom is to infiltrate the group.Taking this risk will change Sora’s life forever—and lead her on a mission of deception that may fool everyone she’s ever loved.
Why am I waiting?
I have been in the mood for an epic fantasy for a while now. This one looks like it may deliver. There is magic, fighting, and a kingdom to save.

Shah Rukh Khan is one of the greatest superstars the industry has ever seen. The star who started small with a TV serial worked hard to become Baadshah of Bollywood. The actor has been a very close friend of ace producer Karan Johar. They have been friends for decades now.
One of their biggest blockbusters together is Kuch Kuch Hota Hai which released two decades ago. The film also starred Rani Mukherji and Kajol in lead roles.
According to the reports, Karan Johar just confirmed he is highly looking forward to making a film with Shah Rukh Khan again.
He spoke to Hindustan Times confirming his plans to reunite with Shah Rukh saying, "I just can't wait to share cinema space with Shah Rukh again. In the last few years, we co-produced films together such as Student Of The Year (2012) and Dear Zindagi (2016) but now I can't wait to collaborate with him in a full-fledged manner because I know whenever we do something together, it will be extraordinary and amazing," says Karan, adding that SRK 'isn't just a part of my career'. "He is a part of my life as well. Shah Rukh, Gauri and the kids – Aryan, Suhana and AbRam – are my immediate family. I won't even use the word 'dosti '. Apart from my dad (late Yash Johar) and mum (Hiroo Johar), I consider Shah Rukh and Adi (Aditya) Chopra's families my other families in Mumbai. They are always going to be in every part and beat of my life."
He has already figured out a script for Shah Rukh and he adds, "Well, now that I am back from my birthday break (in London, UK), I will take all those decisions but I know one thing. Shah Rukh has been one of my best experiences in cinema ever and it’s something that I can’t wait to repeat," says Karan.
We really hope this plan works out and we see them reunite after years.

Parents Considers compensation claims after gross malpractice following death of six-year-old
The parents of deceased Djabrail (6) are considering compensation claims against Haukeland Hospital and the doctor who administered the drug to the boy, according to their lawyer.
Djabrail died Thursday after having been in the respirator for ten days after the hospital snafu.
According to NRK, lawyer representing the boys family, Jan Inge Thesen, has issued a letter to the Health Authority and to the Haukeland hospital asking access to the documentation they possess.
– There are some unanswered questions that need to be clarified, therefore we will see what steps we take after we receive the information we have requested, says the lawyer.
He says it will be appropriate to claim damages against both the hospital and the doctor who was responsible for the malpractice, if it is found that they acted with gross negligence.
The cancerous boy from Bærum was operated for brain tumor on August 6th. He received subsequent chemotherapy treatment at Haukeland University Hospital when the fatal medication mix-up occurred on August 22.
There were to be administred two syringes with chemotherapy – one in the head and one intravenously, but a doctor should have switched the syringes and administered the wrong one in his head. According to the boy’s mother, the doctor who was supposed to administer syringe number two discovered the mistake.
The day after the incorrect medical treatment, the hospital in Bergen notified the Norwegian Public Health Authority, which has filed a case. The police also was oriented as per routine. Haukeland Hospital has kow-towed and apologized for the incident.

Scion calls the iQ's seating '3+1'—meaning there's room for three adults in the driver, front passenger, and rear right passenger positions, with a smaller, child-size space behind the driver. One of the keys to actually making this work is a unique asymmetric layout. The passenger side of the dash goes several inches forward of where it does on the driver's side, and the entire passenger seat tilts forward for easier access on that side.
Toyota even designed all-new slim-back front seats for the iQ; they actually feel more supportive and better proportioned than those in the Yaris or Corolla, yet they help maximize every bit of potential rear kneeroom. Mostly, it works. This very lanky driver couldn't quite fit comfortably in the rear right position, but we saw an average-height female do just fine with another passenger scooting the front seat a bit forward. Overall, you're not going to find people volunteering to sit in your back seat with the iQ, but the space is there in an absolute pinch.
Toyota has also done a lot from an engineering and design standpoint to maximize interior space, with a details like making the fuel tank shallow, under the floor, and moving the climate-system blower away from the footwell and instead inside the center stack. And inside, the blower motor for the climate control system has been located inside the center stack, not at the front of the passenger-side footwell, as it often is in other small-car models—allowing the passenger-side footwell to be a little roomier and assisting that '3+1' layout.
You'll probably be keeping the rear seatbacks flipped forward, where they settle flat, to a low cargo floor and 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space—easily enough for a sizable grocery run. With the rear seats up, there's just 3.5 cubic feet of cargo space—basically space enough to wedge a few hardcover books into the space. Seriously, it's not even enough for a laptop bag (although there is a small cargo tray underneath). And we were a bit surprised to see that Toyota used removable headrests in the iQ's rear seat; most automakers have no opted instead for flip forward headrests as the removable ones tend to be lost. However, in the iQ, they stack unobtrusively under the cushions.
In most respects otherwise, the iQ feels up to U.S. standards in most respects; there are plenty of large cupholders, an extra auxiliary 12-volt outlet for accessories, and both side windows are auto up/down. And Scion has borrowed an element from air travel—pivoting LED dome lights that will likely never need bulb replacement and can of course be aimed away from the driver. However we found the orange LCD trip meter much harder to read in bright sunlight. The only gripe that might keep some from getting absolutely comfortable in the iQ is that there's no telescopic steering adjustment. A leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel—with audio controls—is standard, though. And throughout the interior are superb materials and trims—ones that feel a distinct step above those Toyota uses in the Corolla and Camry.
Ride quality in the iQ isn't soft and supple, but it's not too harsh either. Compared to the Smart Fortwo, however, what's more important is what the iQ doesn't have. In addition to the great steering and unfussy transmission, it doesn't have the excessive fore-and-aft movement with acceleration and braking that make the Fortwo so fatiguing in city driving; it also tracks solidly down the Interstate—meaning that a few hours on the highway for two adults is not at all daunting.
In terms of refinement, the iQ really does feel like a premium offering—even compared to somewhat larger but cheaper cars, like the Nissan Versa. There's not all that much road noise or wind noise on the highway, though you do hear the engine somewhat. Factor in elements like an acoustic windshield (comparable to that in the Toyota Camry Hybrid), and the iQ does a great job damping some of those traditional econocar buzzing sounds and general coarseness. Underneath the dash there's an additional silencer, the floor panel is crowned to curb vibrations, and the roof and pillars are filled with urethane sponge material.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Grand Rapids has been recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA community a 13th time for its commitment to urban forestry.
The city met the four standards -- a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
Grand Rapids has also earned its first Tree City USA Growth Award for making significant improvements in areas such as education and public relations, partnerships, planning and management, and tree planting and maintenance.
"We commend Grand Rapids' elected officials, volunteers and its citizens for providing vital care for its urban forest," John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation, said in a news release. "Trees provide numerous environmental, economic and health benefits to millions of people each day, and we applaud communities that make planting and caring for trees a top priority."
Communities that earn Tree City USA recognition not only have taken the time to meet the four standards, they know that trees promote healthier communities by filtering the air we breathe by removing dust and other particles; moderate climate, conserve water and provide vital habitat for wildlife; reduce the heat island effect in urban areas caused by pavement and buildings; and increase property values and reduce energy use and add beauty to our homes and neighborhoods.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit, environmental and education organization of more than 1 million members, with a mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.

What happens when a custom mentor builder like ARES Modena normally takes a single of the most prestigious luxury cars and turns it into something greater? ARES Modena took a Bentley Mulsanne Coupe and turned it into their own.
Introducing their own splashes of flair and elegance to an previously around-perfected vehicle. When it really is all reported and carried out, ARES has reworked this Bentley into one thing that towers in excess of the seemingly pedestrian a single in the ideal way probable.
Customized aftermarket auto tuners and builder have been about for more than a century. No matter if it be AMG getting a immediate partnership with Mercedes-Benz or Brabus dialing up their have concoction of areas in get to make Kylie Jenner’s most recent G-Wagon – each and every automobile is a aspect of their very own ethos. That is just what ARES has performed with the Culsane Coupe.
The ARES Mulsanne Is Impressed By The 90’s Bentley Brooklands
Getting vanilla autos and turning them into Frankenstein of gears, oil, and gasoline is a little something that several tailor made corporations are carrying out. Some are mainstream and have designed their way into the public scope of the automobile entire world. But carrying out that to a near-best get the job done of art needs a large amount much more. And which is exactly where ARES excels.
ARES appreciates a thing about the earlier. Effectively-versed in constructing specialty cars and trucks, they have had a one of a kind portfolio. Some of Ares Design’s previous performs contain customizing a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a Porsche 964 Targa, and Land Rover Defenders. But this Bentley Mulsanne tops them all.
ARES reported they needed to ground the Mulsanne in basic Bentley, supplying it a Brooklands-type type. The Bentley Brooklands was Bentley’s flagship in the mid-90s, meant to swap the primary Mulsanne. With classy, outdated-dollars type, the Brooklands piqued in its boxy structure but nevertheless retained its beautiful fashion.
ARES’ site says, “[The Mulsanne] combines the magnificence of the unique version with a sporty and youthful look, producing it a legitimate standout on the street. The car has undergone a structural transformation making use of traditional coach building techniques, offering it a smooth and aerodynamic visual appeal.”
New angles determine the exterior, throwing it back to the era the homage is intended to replicate. A modern, fastback glimpse features redesigned C-pillars in order to accommodate larger sized doorways and give a seamless transition into the rear decklid and wing. Refreshing wheels also pair alongside nicely, providing the new Mulsanne a touch of modernity with the legendary chrome look.
Sedan Ease and comfort Degrees For An ARES Mulsanne Coupe
Even though the outdoors appears to be like like a genuine pinnacle, the Mulsanne inside is a diverse ballgame. Bentley stands for luxurious in a way that not several automobile manufacturers have been able to emulate. The manufacturer is distinctly British, building an ethos of nothing but the greatest. In just one word, the title of the video game is class, and ARES making an attempt to extend upon that is a tricky hill to climb. Still, the coachbuilder managed to do it. Based out of Modena, Ares extra their personal Italian choose on a British typical, a juxtaposition for absolutely sure, but yet an remarkable feat.
On the inside of, customized entrance seats are trimmed to match the relaxation of the interior. ARES states that the total design of the car has been manufactured to personify a sedan instead of the coupe exterior. An exciting blend of body styles, no question, nonetheless it works so effectively. Personifying an Italian heritage, the modifier resolved to increase a sporty backbone to the luxury design and style of the Mulsanne. On the exterior, that intended aspect skirts, a diffuser, and a subtle body package. But on the interior, that intended nothing but new upholstery and modern day trim.
ARES Appreciates What They are Accomplishing With The Bentley
ARES Modena isn’t really new to this match either. The Bentley was the product of a motor vehicle-packed repertoire of excellent past jobs. The aforementioned Corvette, the Porsches, and Land Rovers all played an important role in receiving the Mulsanne to in which it is now. ARES has even dabbled in building its very own supercars with a distinctive plan. The firm plans to construct a supercar called the S1 as effectively as a roadster variant also dubbed the S1. The Bentley is coming from a coachbuilder with many years of practical experience less than their belt and not arranging to near up shop whenever before long.
The Mulsanne requires a unique strategy than the common Bentley-presented variant. Even though Bentley aims for class and luxury, ARES has attempted to put an Italian spin on it. Perhaps the major of which was to convey it back again and change it to a coupe, emulating the grand coupes Bentley made available in the course of the 90s. Most enthusiasts refer to that period as Bentley’s golden period, and we won’t be able to argue with that. Automobiles like the Brooklands, Turbo R, and the Arnage turned the brand name into the heralded car or truck maker they are right now.

The band may be relatively new, but the players themselves have decades of experience with local groups, and a following thanks to time with the likes of Major Hoople’s Boarding House and Copperpenny.
Under the banner of Winnipeg Wind, the five veterans of the scene will take to the stage at the Commercial Tavern in Maryhill on January 31.
Named for a song they penned by the same name, Winnipeg Wind features Ed Miller on drums, Gary Ferguson on keyboards, Richie Sarlo on guitar, Brian Witmer on bass and Vern McDonald on guitar. All five contribute vocals to the effort.
“We have a lot of four- and five-part harmonies that we’re always working on,” said Miller. “Everyone writes, sings and plays well.”
The band members all have lengthy résumés, and have worked with each other over the years. About a year ago, they came together to form the new project.
“We all know each other through the years. It’s worked out really well,” he said of Winnipeg Wind.
Miller was part of Major Hoople, and has also played with the likes of Bobby Curtola and Kelly Jay of Crowbar. Ferguson has enjoyed stints with Hour Glass, Little Caesar and the Consuls and Ash Mountain. Sarlo’s played with Bo Diddley and Screwage, while Witmer had been with Project People, Evil Roy Slade and Larry Mercey. McDonald’s credits include Copperpenny, Yukon, Katz (Lulus House Band) and the Black Forest Band.
With so much experience under their belts, all of the players are now in it for the music, pure and simple, says Miller.
“Everyone’s been playing for so long, there are no egos involved.
“We’re having so much fun doing it,” he said.
For this week’s show in Maryhill, the band will be on the classic rock train – with a name like Winnipeg Wind, they’ll have to be a tribute to some native sons such as The Guess Who. The set list will include some originals from the band and its members.
With a new single on the way, the band is also working on an album, Miller notes.
In the meantime, there’s plenty of rehearsal time as they develop Winnipeg Wind’s sound, and a mix of concerts and club shows just now ahead of the busier summer festival season.
“It’s great to get out and play,” he said. “We want to keep active, keep playing.”
Given the band members’ long history, they’ve got a built-in following who keep track of the live shows.
“There are people who come out to see us whenever we’re playing,” said Miller, adding the guys appreciate the effort they make.
Winnipeg Wind performs at the Commercial Tavern January 31. Tickets are available at the venue, 1303 Maryhill Rd., or by calling 519-648-3644. For more information, visit The Commercial Tavern’s website.

In the United States, a medical feat has just been achieved. After transplanting stem cells into a patient with cancer and HIV, the American institute City of Hope claimed to have cured a 66-year-old patient. A crucial step that should revolutionize health protocols in this case.
Like anything is possible! The American institute City of Hope lives up to its name, and it is not this patient with cancer and HIV for more than 33 years who will tell us otherwise. A wind of hope is blowing in the fight against AIDS, launched several decades ago. After seeing a stem cell transplant three and a half years ago, 66-year-old man could touch healing with his fingertips. That’s what this California-based cancer medical institute said after announcing their patient’s remission. A medical feat that announces better days for the sick.
Suffering from HIV for 33 years and leukemia… the prodigious recovery of an elderly patient
This is called double jeopardy. Diagnosed HIV-positive in 1988, this anonymous patient has accumulated health problems. For three and a half he is battling leukemia which could have been fatal. “Like many others, I then thought it was a death sentence“ confesses this 66-year-old survivor in a press release published by the institute.
To achieve such a result, this American had to go through a battery of tests and had to undergo a very heavy experimental protocol. “He received a blood stem cell transplant […] from a donor who had a rare genetic mutation” called CCR5. CCR5 is a receptor on immune cells […], and HIV uses this receptor to penetrate and attack the immune system. But the CCR5 mutation blocks this pathway, which prevents HIV from replicating.” explained researchers from the City of Hope Institute. It would seem that this drastic treatment has finally paid off as the patient the patient of City of Hope “showed no evidence of virus replication“, which even earned him the cessation of his antiviral treatment against HIV, which he had been following for more than 30 years. A result which is welcomed by Dr Dickter, professor in the division of infectious diseases.
A rare but not unprecedented case
The City of Hope patient is not the first lucky one to recover from HIV, although his advanced age gives him the top spot among elderly patients. IThis is the fourth patient in the history to experience this happy ending. If this news gives hope to AIDS patients, the treatment from which the miraculously benefited remains for the moment difficult to implement on a large scale.
We will have to be patient and wait a few more decades before setting up a truly effective treatment capable of curing HIV. “If the right donor can be identified, this could open the possibility for more older patients living with HIV and blood cancers to receive a stem cell transplant and go into remission for both diseases“, explains Dr Dickter who remains positive for the future. A crucial step in favor of medical progress which echoes this new treatment likely to fight against cancer!

Organisers of a national entrepreneurial awards ceremony have apologised for “missing the mark” after guests criticised “inappropriate comments” and the use of burlesque dancers.
A team of staff and students from Bradford University returned their award over concerns about the “misjudged” tone of the Digital Entrepreneur Awards ceremony. They won the award for Innovation in Video and Animation for their ‘Don’t Go to Bradford’ video.
The event was criticised for featuring women in corsets and for comments made during the ceremony. Attendee Naomi Timperley wrote on Twitter: “Please don’t let this represent the sector in the north…we’re not all a Bernard Manning club from the 70’s”.
In an open letter explaining their decision to hand back the award, Emma Bridge, Associate Director of Comms at Bradford University wrote: “Much of the evening’s content was inappropriate and unnecessary and, we felt, a step backwards for digital in terms of respect and kindness towards all colleagues.”
‘We felt uncomfortable’
Mark Garrett, the Director of External Affairs at Bradford University told i his team decided to return their award the next morning.
“When I first arrived I felt uncomfortable because the people welcoming you were scantily clad women and I thought it was inappropriate. Then it turns out they were going to do a burlesque show on stage – again, inappropriate for an industry struggling to get women into the sector.
“Then, it was just the general tone of sexist comments.
“Equality and Diversity are in our DNA as we lead the GENOVATE European research project into Gender Equality and we are running a campaign to have 50 per cent of our undergraduate cohort for Computer Science by 2020 (called 50/50 by 2020), so necessarily we have to uphold our core values.”
Ian Finch, Managing Director of the company Mando, had a table at the event. In a Linkedin post, he said: “To start the evening, the presenter came on with two showgirls on either side, complete with feathers and hot pants, which of course, he couldn’t not comment on.
“Er, ok, I’m sure that’ll make sense in time, I figured.
“There’s then a show; great singing, great music, but more feathers, more hot pants…
“Now onto the awards, where, for the most part, middle-aged men were revealed as the winners, whilst the women involved, giving or receiving, were often dealt with tired, arguably sexist jokes, in the process.”
‘Our aim was never to undermine women’
The ceremony was held in Manchester and also included a routine by comedian Iain Stirling, who had been booked as a stand-up before introducing the evening’s host. A spokesperson for Sterling, who narrates Love Island, said: “Iain wasn’t comfortable at the event, he cut his stand-up set short and is donating his fee to charity which was announced on-stage”
In a statement, organisers apologised “wholeheartedly”.
“We have been reading your reactions on Twitter and across social media over the past two days and we hear you – we missed the mark and we wholeheartedly apologise.
“Our aim was to celebrate tech and never to undermine the incredible women in the industry or do anything to negate the work everyone in the industry is doing to promote equality and redress the balance,” it said.
Statement in full
We are so sorry for the upset and offence caused by the Digital Entrepreneur Awards on Wednesday evening.
We have been reading your reactions on Twitter and across social media over the past two days and we hear you – we missed the mark and we wholeheartedly apologise.
Our aim was to celebrate tech and never to undermine the incredible women in the industry or do anything to negate the work everyone in the industry is doing to promote equality and redress the balance.
We’re learning from what you’ve got to say and we’re putting plans in place to work with organisations across the north to learn more about where we went wrong and how we can improve.
At this stage, it’s not clear if we will move forward with the event next year but if we do, we will reach out to you to hear your thoughts on how we celebrate technology in the right way.
We’re sorry to the winners, and everyone involved, who we had aimed to celebrate and recognise. This in no way negates the incredible work that these organisations are doing in the industry.

As of 10/26/2020 an independent laboratory confirmed that the REME HALO eliminates 99.9% of COVID-19 from the air and surfaces of an indoor air conditioned area. The test consisted of nebulized (aerosolizing to simulate a cough or sneeze) of the COVID-19 virus inside a 1200 sqft indoor area.
Ozone is proven to destroy viruses and has been shown to kill the SARS Coronavirus which is 80% similar to the new COVID-19 coronavirus. It is suspected that it can and will be effective against COVID, although the tests haven’t been performed yet.
According to the CDC the virus can travel through the air if coughed or sneezed. It also lives on surfaces and is spread by saliva droplets falling onto surfaces and being transmitted that way.
Yes. Depending on the type of material, the virus can live up to 3 days on surfaces. According to the CDC materials that are softer or porous like cardboard will allow the virus to live longer than a non porous material.

You may have asked yourself, as I asked myself, "Do I need to read another book about the battle of Gettysburg?" If you're thinking about the recent novel "Cain at Gettysburg" by Ralph Peters, and whether you're thinking about reading it because either you want to know more about the turning-point battle of the Civil War or you already know too much about it, the answer is probably yes.
Much of the battle's storyline will be familiar to those who've read the earlier popular fictional treatment of Gettysburg, "The Killer Angels" or any of the many nonfiction books about his great fraternal blood-letting. The battle is America's "Iliad," in which truly valiant figures, some of them long inscribed in the nation's legends, struggled
over a great prize according to very personal code of honor, and thousands died in a terrible apotheosis of violence that can only be described as tragic and perhaps, in a fierce Homeric way, as poetic.
The over-arching character conflict between hero of his fledgling nation, Robert E. Lee, and his best surviving general, Longstreet, remains a key stone in the narrative arch of Peters' novel, as it was in the recent books and films on the subject. Peters' contribution is giving equal focus to the neglected, underestimated Union commander George Meade, who was given command of the Army of the Potomac only a week before the climactic battle. Meade is often viewed as a stodgy, cautious general. What he was, as this book shows, was rivetingly competent. An engineer by training, determined not to make mistakes, Meade persevered and won a great victory that crippled the South's military capacity.
My only quarrel with this novel is that while it teaches non-military types like myself more about how to run an army than I have ever learned from any other book, it spends too much time with generals and too little with its cast of heart-breakingly human privates, noncoms and lower-rank officers on both sides of the battle. Some of these soldiers are pure inventions, others are drawn from history but given a rare prominence they richly deserve. The great gift of fiction is that its best invented characters are often more "real" to readers than the those whose biographies are purely factual; perhaps, even, more real, to some of us, than those flesh and blood humans we meet in life but whose inner lives remains closed to us.
The novel's deepest portraits are of the Confederate sergeant "Quaker" Blake, whose breakthrough into self-knowledge comes only hours before his last breath on earth. So it goes in war, the book seems to say, but having been through so much with this character we can't help feeling cheated that we don't get to learn how the rest of his life goes -- there's no "meaning" to his growth because there is no "rest of life." His death is one small measure, among thousands, of the price paid for Lee's desperate, hopeless gamble on the the battle's final, decisive day.
I cared just as much, probably more, for an array of Union soldiers who fought in a regiment consisting of German immigrants who fled to the new world after failed democratic revolutions in their own country. America or, as we say, "history" never pays enough attention to this element of our past -- the story of immigrants who found sanctuary in this country for the best the reasons, because they had first risked their lives to make their own countries better and now were forced to bring those ideals here. They are educated, idealistic, often utopian, brave survivors; their minds molded by poets and philosophers. Having fought for freedom in countries like Europe, they came to the land of the free only to find themselves swept up in another cause, anti-slavery, that once again required an ultimate choice and too often an ultimate sacrifice.
At the novel's end I wanted to know what happens to the fictional survivors of this battle such as the lieutenant who spent the war writing letters to a recent widow he has been in love with for years. This melding of this character's personal and Army life is moving and completely persuasive; but battle account novels can take us only so far.
"Cain at Gettysburg" doesn't tell us what these incredibly courageous and human pawns in the great game of nation-building were fighting for. The novel is the other side of the story, a complementary cautionary tale to the idealism of historical portrayals such as the recent film "Lincoln." "Lincoln" tells us the cause. This book shows us the cost.
Peters' battle scenes, especially the bravura yard-by-yard recreation of the accidental first-day battle, overlooked in most accounts, are incredible triumphs by an author with a military background coupled with a great gift for physical description of the way people move, sense, feel, and think in the most terrible and terrifying encounters human beings can have with one another. They die, or somehow survive, from the unbearable carnage on fields we've forgotten, ignored, or never knew much about because the mind has room to take in only so much bloodshed. Maybe that's the point.

Something that is very loud, any sound that is voluminous, i.e. has lots of volume. We measure sound using units known as decibels. A decibel is one-tenth of a bel, which represents a logarithm of a ratio. For instance, a jet engine is about 120 decibels. It is therefore decibelic.

Morgan Le Fay (alternatively known as Morgaine le Fey, Morgane, Morgain, Morgana, Fata Morgana, and other variants) is a powerful sorceress and antagonist of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere in Arthurian legend. Although always depicted as a practitioner of magic, over time her character became more and more evil until she began to be portrayed as a witch who was taught the black arts by Merlin.
The early works featuring Morgan do not elaborate her character beyond her role as a fay (fairy) or magician, although she became much more prominent in the later Old French cyclical prose works such as “Lancelot-Grail” and the Post-Vulgate Cycle. In these works, she is said to be Arthur’s half-sister, daughter of Arthur’s mother, Lady Igraine, and her first husband, Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall. She has at least two older sisters, Elaine and Morgause, the latter being the mother of Sir Gawain, the Green Knight, and the traitor, Mordred. As a fairy later transformed into a woman and King Arthur’s half-sister, she became an enchantress to continue her powers.
Inspiration for her character may have come from earlier Welsh mythology and literature, and she has often been compared with the goddess Modron, a figure derived from the continental Dea Matrona, who is featured with some frequency in medieval Welsh literature. She is also sometimes connected with the Irish goddess Morrígan who was associated with prophecy, war and death on the battlefield.
Morgan first appears by name in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s “Vita Merlini”, an account written in about 1150 of the wizard Merlin’s later adventures, elaborating on some episodes from Geoffrey’s more famous earlier work, “Historia Regum Britanniae”. In the “Vita Merlini”, Geoffrey describes Avalon, the Isle of Apples, where Arthur is taken to be healed after being seriously wounded at the Battle of Camlann, and specifically names “Morgen” as the chief of nine magical sisters who dwell there (a role as Arthur’s otherworldly healer Morgan retains in much later literature, such as that of Chrétien de Troyes).
Medieval Christianity, however, had a difficult time assimilating a benevolent enchantress. She gradually became more and more sinister, until eventually she was portrayed as a witch who was taught the black arts by Merlin, and who was a bedevilment to Arthur and his knights, with a special hatred towards Queen Guinevere.
Morgan’s role is greatly expanded in the 13th Century French “Lancelot-Grail” (also known as the Vulgate Cycle) and the subsequent works inspired by it. In these stories, she is sent to a convent when Uther Pendragon (Arthur’s father) kills her father and marries her mother, Igraine. She begins her study of magic there, but is married by Uther to his ally Urien. She is unhappy with her husband and takes a string of lovers until she is caught by a young Guinevere, who expels her from court in disgust. Morgan continues her magical studies under Merlin, all the while plotting against Guinevere.
In his book, “Le Morte d’Arthur”, published in 1485, Thomas Malory mostly follows the portrayal of Morgan in the Vulgate and Post-Vulgate Cycles, although he expands her role in some cases. Through both magic and mortal means, she tries to arrange Arthur’s downfall, most famously when she arranges for her lover Sir Accolon to obtain the sword Excalibur and use it against Arthur in single combat. When this ploy fails, Morgan throws Excalibur’s protective scabbard into a lake.
The modern image of Morgan is often that of a villain, a seductive, megalomaniacal sorceress who wishes to overthrow Arthur, sometimes assigning to Morgan the role of seducing Arthur and giving birth to the wicked Mordred, although traditionally Mordred’s mother was Morgan’s sister, Morgause. Marion Zimmer Bradley’s “The Mists of Avalon” presents a different view of Morgaine’s opposition to Arthur, depicting her actions as stemming from her fight to preserve the native Pagan religion against what she sees as the treachery and oppression of Christianity. She has also been widely portrayed in comic books and other more or less speculative novels and movies.

The Washington Post is reporting this morning that several top Iraqi politicians no longer think that national reconciliation is an achievable near-term goal. According to the article, the politicians see little hope for passing legislation explicitly targeted at reconciliation. It also indicates that the current Shiite-led government is simply unwilling to take meaningful steps to share power with other groups.
The United States' current military surge strategy was put in place to buy time and provide the Iraqis with "breathing space" to make the hard political decisions necessary to mend their country. Without political reconciliation, the surge strategy is like sticking your hand in water--once you remove it, there is nothing to indicate that it was ever there. Absent reconciliation, animosity and the competition for political control will lead to a resumption in violence and possibly civil war.
If Iraqis have indeed given up on this process, the primary justification for the surge has evaporated, and the U.S. is faced with two terrible choices. The first is to continue to remain in the middle indefinitely, keeping troop levels near where they are to minimize the violence. The "success" of this strategy is far from certain, as the pressures for both civil war and Iraqi self-determination are likely to lead to increased violence. Moreover, without a fundamental shift in how we replenish the troops, such as a draft, we cannot long maintain the current force levels.
The second choice is to end the surge and reduce our involvement sooner rather than later. The mission of our remaining troops would be narrowed to fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq, helping to secure borders, and training troops. It's very likely that violence would increase, but again, without political reconciliation, violence is likely to be inevitable.
Until now, the administration has justified its surge strategy using an investment framework. The U.S. was to pay a substantial up front cost in terms of troop levels and lives in return for long-term benefits in terms of Iraqi stability. The prospects of such benefits were always chancy; more and more they appear to be wholly unobtainable.

I grew up in an era where you went to Church with your masked smile and didn’t share the struggles you were experiencing. You were always fine, presenting a picture-perfect facade.

Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis collaborating on a film that was just picked up by Focus Features.
According to a report from Collider, director Paul Thomas Anderson and actor Daniel Day-Lewis will be collaborating again on an untitled film that was just picked up by Focus Features at the International Film Festival. This will be the second collaboration between the writer/director and actor following There Will Be Blood which saw DDL walk away with a Best Actor Oscar and Anderson got nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Director. Anderson is yet to win an Oscar despite his 6 nominations, so the buzz around this film likely will be related to whether this could finally bring a win for the respected writer/director.
Here’s the report from Collider:
“The report has Focus picking up the film’s $35 million budget along with some serious back-end contributions for the writer/director and actor talent. To put that number into perspective, similar headline-grabbing acquisitions included Searchlight’s $17.5 million commitment for Nate Parker‘s The Birth of A Nation at Sundance in January, and Focus’ own $20 million tag for the Tom Ford‘s Nocturnal Animals at Cannes in 2015. Clearly, Focus is banking big on this collaboration.
Little is known about the film at the moment except to say that it will be written and directed by P.T. Anderson (obviously) and takes place in “the couture world of 1950s London.”
Rumors following Daniel Day-Lewis’ acceptance of the Oscar for his performance in Lincoln was that he was in semi-retirement, not that he was through with acting but that he didn’t feel there were any roles that truly interested him. I’m sure with his track record that he receives thousands of scripts each year, so I’m excited to see what he said yes to. This will most likely turn into a role that receives awards buzz because he holds out for meaty roles where he could really explore the depths of a complex character. In my humble opinion, he is the greatest living actor and any movie with him in it immediately becomes one of my most anticipated films. I’ll be seeking this out when it arrives in theaters late 2017.
Here are some quotes from Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures and Focus chairman Peter Kujawski courtesy of Coming Soon.
Focus chairman Peter Kujawski commented, “Paul Thomas Anderson is a singular storyteller who has the ability to mesmerize audiences by creating complex and fascinating characters. It is our privilege to bring Daniel Day-Lewis’ reteaming with Paul to movie lovers who have long hoped for their reunion.”
Added Ellison, “Amongst their contemporaries, Paul and Daniel truly represent the highest tier of artistry in film. We are thrilled to partner with Peter and his entire team at Focus and collaborate once again with Paul on this ever original, visionary story. We cannot wait to see this lush world come to life with Daniel at the center.”
How do you feel about another collaboration between Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis? I will keep you posted on any additional information that is released regarding this project.

The Honda Fit is a subcompact car that could trick you into thinking you were driving a car twice its size. This car doesn’t give any punishment to taller passengers on long drives; on the contrary, it provides plenty of space for everyone. It can also hold a significant amount of cargo, especially if you fold down the back seats. As you would expect it provides great fuel economy, what is more surprising is that it’s no slouch with very impressive acceleration. Another treat is the 1.5 liter four cylinder 130 hp engine that purrs away nicely.
When it comes to aftermarket suspension parts, MOOG have one of the best reputations in the industry. Honda Fit suspension parts produced by this manufacturer are always simple to install and give an OE standard of quality. A great example of this is their replacement ball joint. This comes with a patented cover plate to maintain low deflection and consistent socket torque. It also boasts a one-piece forged housing for unequalled durability and strength along with greased grooves that give the fullest possible lubrication between the housing and the ball stud. We have many other MOOG parts ready for shipping in our online store.

PHILADELPHIA - Decades of touring - with and without Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - have helped make rocker and actor Steven Van Zandt at home all over the world. Yet he never expected to be quite so big in Norway.
PHILADELPHIA Decades of touring with and without Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have helped make rocker and actor Steven Van Zandt at home all over the world.
Yet he never expected to be quite so big in Norway.
The credit goes to Lilyhammer, the series in which Van Zandt appears as an American mobster in witness protection who asks to be relocated to Lillehammer, Norway (because he liked what he saw during the 1994 Winter Olympics).
It remains a hit in Norway, where it is produced and where the premiere of the second season in late October attracted a 51.9 percent share of the televisions in use.
The show, the first Netflix original, represented a leap as well for leaders of the Norwegian state network, NRK where They tend to favor putting a camera on the front of a ship and people watching it for 24 hours at a time, a laughing Van Zandt said during a recent phone interview.
Its radical, the content, he said of Lilyhammer, in which his character struggles with customs while building a criminal enterprise.
You know, any kind of violence, they really are quite averse to. And, you know, that type of criminal behavior, especially from the star, is quite unusual.
Van Zandt is a writer and producer (and, this season, also the music producer).
The show has begun dealing with more than the eccentricities of Norway as with an episode focused on racism and immigration.
Its a wonderful sort of way to express that sort of racism that is cleverly hidden or not even cleverly hidden, Van Zandt said. The culture thinks it is above it and immune to it. But, of course, no culture is.

A look that I really love, that I’m seeing a lot of these days amongst shabby and romantic style blogs, is a little infusion of aqua among all the white linens, chippy wood, and milk glass. I decided to go around my own home and gather up some aqua elements, to create a tabletop vignette that celebrates this particular combination that’s soft, yet crisp, and sooo pretty… all at the same time! Here’s what I came up with.
Your images are gorgeous.. Totally love the vintage linen… The aqua glass bowl is super cute!!
This is pretty! I love the stack of vintage linens and the sweet little aqua glass bowls. Tammy
I love all of your gorgeous linens and then adding the touches of aqua is so pretty. Love the flowers also. You have created such a beautiful vignette. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
I just found my way over here from Marty’s blog. When I saw the aqua in your title, I knew I’d love it. You’ve got some gorgeous treasures!
I love these colors! My favorite. This is a very pretty vignette. Come to my blog and win a European enamel house sign.
You are right…it is the aqua of the Ball jar. Your images are lovely. ♥Olive

Lotus Oven-Baked Duck Recipe Grain-Free Dry Cat Food
My boys like this food, but have to work at eating it. They are big guys and the kibble is very small.
I am so disappointed. The food and quality look great, but none of my cats wanted anything to do with it. They would not even NIBBLE. I cannot get them to eat ANYTHING but turkey or salmon.
My cats don't appear to love this. It's been a bigger transition than the traditional harder urinary perscription diet. Time will tell
So, the cats were interested in this one - I bought it because of the one cat's food allergies and she investigated it thoroughly before trying it. Three cats tried it, ate it, but weren't overly excited about it. We probably won't be buying it again, though. I will say that the shape of the kibble is weird. Like little jello molds. About 8 mm tall and a little more wide at the widest end. I have a couple of "dentally challenged" cats missing teeth, so the lack of enthusiasm may have been that the shape of the pieces makes them hard to eat.
