Herts ASA County Championships 2016
As a result of changes to the British Swimming Structure, Hertfordshire ASA County Championships were moved to January and February, commencing on January 23rd and finishing on Sunday 7th February. The qualifying times and method of qualifying also changed this year, as did the programme of events, which was branded a "New Dawn" by the organisers. Despite the many changes to the competition, Hoddesdon swimmers proved themselves up to the challenge, and all of us at Hoddesdon Swimming Club should be proud of their achievements.
Several swimmers who qualified for the Championships were unable to take part due to illness or injury, and we wish Kayleigh Perry, Amy Bishop, Lucy Hinks and Ben Hunt a speedy recovery.
For those swimmers who were able to take part a fantastic three weeks of swimming fast was ahead of us with many Personal Best times (PBs) smashed and a very large quantity of medals won by the Hoddesdon Team.
The first weekend was dedicated to 100 sprints, the second to 50 sprints and 200m events and the third to long distance events. This year, it was decided to swim finals for all 50 and 100 events, so any swimmers making the final did exceptionally well, making them one of the fastest 8 swimmers in the County in their Age Group. In addition, there was a final for the fastest eight swimmers across all age groups, called the Championship Final.
Libby Dunford (13) had an excellent County Championships, with no fewer than 10 gold medals across all distances and events and achieving 11 Regional Qualifying Times. Libby won gold in the 100 Butterfly (Heat 1.08.98 and Final 1.08.97), 100 Backstroke (Heat 1.11.44 and Final 1.10.95) 100 Freestyle (Heat 1.02.33 and Final 1.02.55) and 100 IM (Heat 1.12.53 and Final 1.11.42), and in the 50 Free (Heat 28.64 and Final 28.49), 50 Butterfly (Heat 30.80 and Final 31.00) and Backstroke (Heat 32.98 and Final 32.71) . She also won Gold in the 200 Free (2.16.24) and 400 Free (4.47.03) and 200 IM (2.34.38). She achieved Silver in the 200 Backstroke (2.32.05) and was 4th in the 50 Breast final (37.67) and 800 Freestyle (9.55.98).
Georgie Pryor (17) competed in her last Hertfordshire County Championships as she will be leaving for University in September. She was competing in the 16+ age category, and won 8 Gold and 3 silver medals. Gold medals were achieved in the 100 Butterfly - Heat 1st 1.04.24 Championship Final 1st (1.02.86), 16+ Final 1st (1.04.11), 100 Freestyle Heat 1st (58.14), Championship Final 1st (58.21) and 16+ Final 1st (59.27). She also won the 100 IM - Heat 1st (1.06.63) and Final 1st (1.06.60). She came second in the 100 Backstroke Heat (1.04.61) and 2nd in the Championship Final (1.05.63) and 16+ Final (1.07.08). In the 50m events, Georgie achieved Golds again in the 50 Backstroke - Heat 1st (29.56) and Final 1st (29.72); 1st 50 Fly Heat (28.00) and Final (28.14), and 2nd 50 Free Heat (27.24) and Final (27.04). We wish her well with her future studies and sporting endeavours.
Grace Harvey (17) attended the Championships as part of her preparation for the British Para-Swimming Trials in Glasgow in April. Grace, who competes in the SM7, S7 and SB6 categories, is on the British Swimming Podium Potential Programme and attended to work on her 200 IM, where she holds the British Record, and her 100 Backstroke. Grace swam 1.32.14 in the 100 Backstroke and 3.19.47 in the 200 IM. She declared herself very happy with both results.
Chris Smith (20), a student at Hertfordshire University, competed in his favoured 100 and 50 Breaststroke Events. Chris came second in the 50 Breaststroke Heat (30.82) and won the Final (30.69), came second in the 100 Breaststroke Heat (1.07.92) and Championship Final (1.07.08) and won the 16+ final in a time of 1.08.85.

All swims were Personal Best times.

He made the Final in the 50 Breast where he finished 7th (38.39) and the100 Breast 8th (1.24.89).

Again Ralph is definitely one to watch for in the next couple of years.
Young talented swimmers in the form of Bella Parkus (11), Charlie Cole (12) and Molly Cobbold (10) achieved some great swims on their visits to the County Championships.
Bella qualified in 4 events and achieved Personal Best times in all 4. She finished 5th in the Backstroke (3.04.70), with a 9 second PB, and made the final of the 100 Backstroke with a swim in the Heat of 1.28.67, improving to 5th position in the Final (1.29.23). She also finished 8th in the 100 IM (1.31.04) and 15th in the 50 Freestyle (36.44)
Charlie qualified in the 100 Backstroke, where he finished 15th in a personal best time (1.27.68), 12th in the 50 Butterfly (38.48) and 9th in the 50 Freestyle (33.22), another PB.
Molly made her first appearance at Counties, but I am sure we will see many more from her in the future. She swam the 50 Backstroke in the 10/11 Age Group, finishing 10th (42.59), but was the fastest 10 year old in the competition.
On Sunday 7th February the Championships came to a close with a series of Age Group Relays. This provided a fabulous and exciting end to Counties and saw different swimmers in action. Despite illness and injury, the Hoddesdon Teams swam really well, and we are proud of all of them – Paul O'Doherty, Ryan Brewster, Scott Carpenter, Elias Baluch, Mollie Downes and Ellis Burroughs all swam really well alongside team mates Chris Smith, Matteo Tontodonati, Marco Tontodonati and Alex Tate, Libby Dunford and Lily Merrett.
Mary Wright, Head Coach said "This was a very successful Championships for those of our swimmers who achieved the County qualifying times. Although one of the smaller clubs in Hertfordshire, we have come away with an impressive number of medals, Regional Times and Personal Best times, and I am delighted for the swimmers who have put in so much hard work to achieve this result".
Coach Manuela Teti said "We all approached Counties 2016 with curiosity and uncertainty as to what to expect from the new format. We believe that the new schedule of events proved much better than previous years and competition was very tough but exciting. Our swimmers not only were competitive with fast swims, but also showed excellent swimming skills in the water and perfect behaviour and team spirit on poolside. We are all very proud of all of them!"

Hemel Hempstead
Hoddesdon Team, somewhat hampered by illness and injury but with their Team Spirit still intact, travelled to Hemel Hempstead for the first round, where they were drawn against Hemel A and B, Potters Bar, Harpenden A and Costa B.
Hoddesdon finished a very comfortable 4th on the night with some great swims across the Age Groups. Our points score of 186 was boosted by the fact that every other Team in the gala lost points because of technical infringements (disqualifications) and the coaching Team are proud to say none of our swimmers were disqualified on the night, even in the relays!
Our youngest age groups deserve special recognition, as due to a strange cluster in birthdays, we have very few 11 year olds, so most of our swimmers in the under 12's were swimming against competitors who were one, if not two years older than them! Imagine how good they are going to be next year – or even the year after that! They all deserve our praise and it was nice to welcome Tom Ahmed to the team – well done Tom, you swam really well! Also swimming well were Thomas Brown with a PB in the 50 Backstroke and Sam Reynolds with great PBs in the 50 Breaststroke and 50 Butterfly.
There were several new faces in the Team, and it was great to see Alexandra Heal and Emily Price achieving Personal Best Times. Alex Tate continues to show great improvement with two further PBs in his individual swims and Dougie Grayling achieved a 2.5 second PB on his debut swim in Division 1 – well done to all these swimmers.
First places were achieved by Amy Godsave in the Open 100 Free (59.35) 100 Butterfly (1.06.15); Lily Merrett in the U14 100 Fly (1.12.24) and 100 Backstroke (1.13.04); Chris Smith in the Open 100 Breaststroke (1.08.37), Matteo Tontodonati U16 Backstroke (1.07.16) and Libby Dunford U14 Freestyle (1.03.85) as well as the Open Girls Medley Relay of Carly Bays BK (34.16), Christie Bays BR (36.76) Amy FL (29.40) Libby (29.08) and U14 Girls Medley Relay of Lily (34.18), Libby (39.81), Ezme Gladwell (35.15) and Ellie Godsave (31.42)

Third places were awarded to Carly for the Open 100 Backstroke (1.11.09) and Marco for the U14 100 Backstroke (1.18.03)
Very Creditable fourth places went to Ryan Brewster (Open 100 Freestyle); Bella Parkus (Under 12 Backstroke); Lily (U16 Butterfly); Alex Tate (U14 100 Freestyle) and Libby (U16 Breaststroke) as well as the following relay teams:
Boys U16 Medley Relay of Matteo, Ralph, Marco and Alex
Boys U14 Freestyle Relay of Marco, Alex, Charlie Cole, and Dougie Grayling
Boys Open Freestyle Relay of Chris, Ben, Ralph and Ryan
The squadron relay of Chris, Amy, Matteo, Ezme, Marco, Libby, Sam Reynolds and Ellie Bostock
Well done to all those swimmers who took part. Keep working hard in your sessions and enjoy your swimming. The Coaching Team are proud of all of you for displaying such positive behaviour throughout the Gala and look forward to seeing you race in the next Round on 5th March.

National Para-Swimming Championships Dec 2015
Grace and Lottie
An impressive 25 records were broken at the National Para-Swimming Championships 2015 in Manchester, where over 300 competitors took part. Hoddesdon Swimming Club's Grace Harvey and Charlotte (Lottie) Mills travelled to the International Competition Pool for the competition which was held over the weekend of 12-13th December, 2015.
Janet Warrington, Hoddesdon's Disability Swimming Head Coach said "we were all very excited about the competition knowing that Eleanor Simmonds, Jessica-Jane Applegate, Thomas Hamer and Sascha Kindred would be at the competition. Grace is now on the 'World-Class Podium Potential Programme' and this competition was important for her to swim well in front of the British-Para Swimming Coaches. Lottie who is on the England Talent Programme also needed to perform well in front of the England Talent Development Coaches. The pressure was on and both girls stepped up to the challenge and we are very proud of them."
Grace Harvey (classification S7, SB6, SM7), and on the Hertfordshire Talented Athlete Programme, competed in seven events finishing 1st in all seven bringing home seven gold medals. Grace also broke another British Record this time for the 50m Backstroke (S7) which was the split time at the turn of her 100m Backstroke event! Final race details are as follows: 100m Freestyle (1:17.02); 100m Breaststroke (1:58.07); a person best time for the 50m Freestyle (35.85); 200m Individual Medley (3:20.03); 100m Backstroke (1:34.59); 50m Butterfly (42.20); and finally the 400m Freestyle (5:47.91).
Grace swimming the 400m Freestyle
Janet said "The British Para-Swimming Coaches thought Grace raced well, and they told her they are looking forward to working with her at their Swim Camp in January. Grace will now be working hard in and out of the pool on technique and strength and are looking forward to what 2016 will bring."
Lottie Mills (Classification S8, SB7, SM8) competed in five events, her best result was in the 100m Backstroke where she finished in 5th place with a new personal best of eleven seconds (2:03.39); in the following events Lottie finished in 7th place: 100m Freestyle pb of five seconds (1:44.58); 50m Freestyle (45.15); 400m Freestyle (7:44.36) with an eighteen seconds personal best.
Lottie at the start of her 400m Freestyle
Janet said "Lottie was reclassified last year, which means the competition is a lot tougher for her. I am very pleased with Lottie's attitude and determination. Her improvements were noticed by the England Talent Development Coaches who were very pleased and she smashed her times coming home with a stack of personal best times!"
Lee Dorman Disability Coach travelled with Janet as part of his coach development and said "It has been a brilliant opportunity to come to the National Para-Swimming Competition. We sat with the East Region Team and the camaraderie was great. Watching World and British Records being broken is very exciting and it just makes you understand why you are coaching.

National Arena League 2015 Round 3
Arena League Round 3
The last Round saw a return to Harlow LeisureZone. Although not regarded by swimmers as a particularly "fast" pool, this was made up for by the fact that the Gala ran efficiently and speedily through to see us all on our way home by 9pm.
Our swimmers showed their famous Hoddesdon Team Spirit, supporting one another all the way through the Gala, and it was great to see our older swimmers setting a great example to the younger ones, with their positive attitude towards competition.
There were some great swims from the Open Age Group, with 1st places for David Kelleway in the 200 IM (2.11.00), Georgie Pryor in the 100 Butterfly (1.00.95) and 100 Backstroke (1.02.67) Chris Smith in the 100 Breaststroke (1.06.27) and Amy Godsave in the 100 Freestyle(58.65) with the Open Ladies Medley Team of Georgie Pryor(28.91), Carly Bays (37.88), Amy Godsave (28.89) and Lucy Charles (27.67) also finishing first in a time of 2.03.35.
The Open Ladies 6 x 50m Freestyle relay was also exciting, with Hoddesdon finishing second with a time of 2.50.47 (Amy 27.58, Lucy 27.55, Carly 29.48, Libby 28.94, Lily 30.30, Georgie 26.62)
Third places were achieved by Lucy Charles (2.24.07) in the 200 Individual Medley, the boys Open medley relay team of Ben Hunt (29.85), Chris Smith (30.27), Reece Barclay (27.74) and Ryan Brewster (26.51) Libby Dunford in the U14 100 Freestyle (1.03.17) and the U14 Freestyle Relay Team of Ellie Godsave (30.65), Lily Merett (30.65), Ezme Gladwell (31.09) Libby Dunford (31.22)
Arena League has double age banding. This is not a problem for the largest Clubs in the Region, who can all field a full team in every age group, but for small clubs like ours it is a mixed blessing. It allows us to compete by joining age groups together to make a Team, but some years it means our swimmers are swimming against much older competitors. For example in the 15 and under age group we had only 4 swimmers, all of whom were 14. They have been swimming against swimmers who are 15. In our youngest age group, the under 12's, we have 9 and 10 and one 11 year old making up the Team. They have been swimming against 11 year olds! Our swimmers also had to cope with multiple swims instead of two or three, but they did this with a fantastic positive attitude and I am proud of every swimmer who took part in the League this season.
Next year we will be swimming in the First division against more comparable clubs and most of our swimmers will be in the top part of their age group, so there is much to look forward to!
Well done to all the swimmers who took part, all the coaching team who supported them, the officials who supported the swimmers and the Club, all those who helped with the hosting duties and last but not least, the parents who all got their children to the pools on time!

Daplyn Trophy 2015
On Saturday 5th December, Hoddesdon SC took part in the annual Daplyn Trophy Gala, a friendly event organised by Herts ASA.
Every year the gala combines competition and fun with races, dancing and enterteinment: this year we were delighted by a modern dance company whose dancers bravely performed their routines on the pool deck on a quite wet floor!
Hoddesdon SC fielded 2 girls teams: Hoddesdon A (Libby Dunford, Lily Merrett, Ellie Godsave and Mollie Downes) and Hoddesdon B (Ellis Burroughs, Lara Fahy. Isabel and Eleanor Short and Isabel Hinks). Unfortunately, due to ilness, injuries and Christmas commitments we were not able to filed a boys team, as initially planned.
The girls thouroughly enjoyed the evening, with convincing swims and delightful dance routines. Hoddesdon A came 8th, which is a very good placing considering that we had one swimmer less than required (at Daplyn there are 5 individual events per team and each swimmer is only allowed to swim one individual event). Swimmers in the Hoddesdon B team (13th) were much younger than the majority of the competition and we are proud of their efforts.
Points were awarded based on placings and swimming 10+ meters underwater at the start and turns (Technique Points) and our girls did well on this score.
Coach Manuela Teti said: "It was a nice evening where competition and fun were equally important. We hope that our girls enjoyed the experience and would like to thank them for swimming for their team in such a busy time of the year. A special thank you must go to our group of volunteers: Pam Bays, Peter Bays, Ann-Marie Keenan from Cheshunt, Jane Downes and Janet Warrington who for the night swapped her coach top with the Officials uniform and was in charge of assigning the Technique Points! Well done everybody!"

Arena League 2015- Round 2
On Saturday 14th November 2015, the Hoddesdon Team competed in the 2nd Round of the National Arena Swimming League 2015, London League. The gala took place at Hertfordshire Sports Village in Hatfiled and saw our swimmers compete against some of the top swimmers in the Country. The gala took much longer than expected due to a malfunctioning of the electronic timing system, which eventually stopped working completely meaning that many races had to be timed manually.
Teams taking part in the gala were Enfield Swim Squad, Romford SC, Chelsea and Westminster SC, TeamIpswich, Hatfield SC, Basildon and Phoenix Sc, Costa SC and Hoddesdon SC. Final gala results were: 1st TeamIpswich (301pts), Hatfield (288pts), Chelsea and Westminster (258pts), Basildon and Phoenix (243pts), Romford (232pts), Enfield Swim Squad (192pts), CoSta (191pts), Hoddesdon (95pts).
Competition is very tough this year, considering that we are in the Premier League against some of the biggest clubs in the London and East Region areas: in addition to that, many of our swimmers are at the youngest end of their age group, competing in many cases against swimmers one year or more older. Nonetheless, they all raised up to the challenge and gave their races their best shot, to support the Team.
Eleven Individual Personal Best times (PBs) were achieved by Bella Parkus, Sam Reynolds, Matteo Tontodonati, Libby Dunford, Marco Tontodonati, Isabel Short, Jessica Callaghan, Catherine Ryan and Kayleigh Perry. In the relays 28 PBs were also achieved.
The Coaching Team are all very proud of their dedicated swimmers who are working extremely well and hard in the pool, both on their technical and speed skills.
Last round of the League will take place on Saturday 12th December 2015 (venue and time TBC).
Well done Team Hoddesdon!

ASA ER Winter SC Championships
Chris Smith, Georgie Pryor, Amy Godsave
A Team of 7 swimmers from Hoddesdon qualified and competed at this prestigious event, and all the swimmers who competed had excellent swims. This event has a single qualifying time and is open to only the fastest swimmers in the Region, unlike the Summer Regional event, which has different qualifiying times for different ages.
Lily Merrett and Libby Dunford qualified in the 50 Backstroke and 50 Freestyle at just 12 years of age, and both achieved personal best times in both events. Lily swam the 50 Backstroke in a time of 33.14, 84th out of 111 and one of only 4 of the 12 year olds qualified to compete in this event. Libby Dunford, her team mate finished 46th with a time of 32.27 this made her the fastest 12 year old in the competition.
In the 50 Freestyle, Lily finished 116 out of 154 with an excellent PB of 29.41, finishing 3rd fastest in her age group in the region. Libby Dunford, again with an excellent PB of 28.11 finished 37th overall and fastest in her age group. Both girls gained from the experience, and I am sure we will see lots more of them at future winter regional events.
Ben Hunt (16 years) was visiting Winter Regionals for the first time this year and from his performances there are clearly more to come in the future. He competed in the 100 Backstroke where he improved his PB by one second to achieve a time of 1.03.52 to finish 41st out of 58 qualifiers. He also competed in the 50 Backstroke where he showed how much his skills have improved to break the 30 second barrier and swim 29.82 and finish 48th out of 70 qualifiers.
Amy Godsave (16 years) who trains with Lisa Bates on the London Aquatics Performance Programme as well as with Hoddesdon SC, competed in the 100 IM (1.08.39), 9th in heats, the 100 Freestyle (57.08) 2nd in heats, 50 Butterfly (29.19) 6th in heats, and 50 Freestyle (26.69) 5th in heats. Amy, who was still recovering after 3 weeks of illness, competed in the 50 and 100m Freestyle finals, improving her times in the 50 (26.61) and swimming 57.19 for the 100 to claim Silver Medals in both Events. The 100m Freestyle time booked her place at the Winter National Short Course Championships in December, and Amy should be very proud of this achievements at such a young age.
Grace Harvey (17 years), recently back from her AASE swim camp and additionally her British Disability Podium Potential swim camp, had some good, solid swims. Grace who competes in the multi classification categories of S7, SM7 and SB6, competed in the 200 IM, where she holds the British Record. Her swim of 3.21.80 gave her 631 British Disability Points (BDP). In the 50 Freestyle, she finished in a time of 37.15 and 650 BDP and then 5.52.37 to give her the highest BDP score of the day of 671. She completed her swims with 1.32.83 in the 100 Backstroke, 527 BDP. She achieved silver medals in all 4 events and can look forward with confidence to the Disability Nationals in Manchester in a few weeks' time.
Georgina Pryor (17 years) who trains with Lisa Bates on the London Aquatics Performance Programme, was back in her Hoddesdon hat for these Championships. Georgina showed herself to be in fine form, her under water work was outstanding and contributed to her many successes. Georgina finished 1st in both heats (1.01.35) and final (1.00.30) of the 100 Butterfly, 1st in both heats (27.28) and final of the 50 Butterfly (27.02); 1st in the heats (28.94) and final (28.58) of the 50 Backstroke and 1st in both heats (26.36) and final (26.13) of the 50 Freestyle. She also finished 2nd in the 100 Backstroke heats (1.02.55) and 3rd in the 100 Backstroke final (1.02.54), having only swum the 100 Butterfly final 5 minutes before the start of the 100 Backstroke! She achieved Winter National times in the 50 and 100 Butterfly, 50 and 100 Backstroke, and 50 Freestyle. Goergina can also claim Club Records for the 50 fly, back and free and 100 butterfly.
Chris Smith (19 years) competed in all three of his favoured Breaststroke events – the 200, 100 and 50 metres. In his first event the 100 Breaststroke, Chris swam a lifetime PB of 1.05.40, over 2 seconds faster than his entry time which placed him 3rd going in to final. In an extremely exciting final Chris shaved a further .35 off his heat time (1.05.05) and finished second just 4 hundredths of a second ahead of Brandon Nabarro of Putteridge to claim the Silver medal and a place at the Winter National Short Course Competition in Sheffield in December.
He followed this with an excellent swim in the 200 Breaststroke (2.30.03) 9th and 30.54 in the 50 Breaststroke to finish 5th overall in the Heats. He improved this time to 30.37 in the final, to finish 5th but with a new PB time and Club Record for the 50 Breaststroke.

There are days and, then, there are days.
In 1948, T.S. Eliot assumed that western civilization moved inexorably toward a new dark age. "We can assert with some confidence that our own period is one of decline," he lamented. "The standards of culture are lower than they were fifty years ago; and the evidences of this decline are visible in every department of human activity."
One can only shake his head in wonder and bewilderment at what Eliot might write in 2012.
In the elite world of affairs, the powerful steal more and more through the machinery of politics, depriving us not only of liberty but, of course, of justice. There is, in no real sense, neither liberty nor order, internally or externally.Continue Reading on www.imaginativeconservative.org

But David later logs into a computer with revenge on his mind. What plan is he hoping to put into motion?

But when she reveals that she's left Streetcars so she can spend more time on the building project, Vinny is even more furious.

Sarah drags Bethany to the cafe and insists on buying her lunch. Bethany breaks down and explains to her mum that exercise helps take her mind off everything that's happening at home and school.

But can the two put their problems aside for the evening and will their date be a success?

Amazing place!! I stayed 4 nights at Demani Lodge and enjoyed a lot,great place great atmosphere, great staff!! I had a bungalow with the shower and toilets inside,nice and clean! When coming back from my day outside I could enjoy the swimming pool and then good food at the bar! I strongly recommend this place, just eb aware that it is 2 minutes walk from the beach but 25 minutes walk from where ll bars and kite centers are!

Positives: friendly staff, good food and drinks, lovely grounds and pool. I spent 3 nights in the dorm room, which was comfortable and clean. Negatives: it took an hour to settle my bill while checking out, and there is only one shared key for the dorm and no lockers.

Children's charitable institutions in Kenya is a home or institution established by a person or corporate, a religious organization or a non-governmental organization and has been granted approval by the National Council for Children's Services to manage a programme for the care, protection, rehabilitation or control of children.
There are 830 charitable institutions (CCIs) in the country. The ministry gazetted CCI regulations in 2005, which require that the institution be registered with the department of children's services. Only 347 have been registered. The registration expires after three years.
The categories of children placed in CCIs range from those who are abandoned, neglected, abused, orphaned, street children and children with disabilities. The division offers these children services such as food, shelter, clothing, education, medical care, guidance and spiritual well being.
In 2005, 60,000 cases of children were reported to district children offices as being in need of care and protection.

Aurigma Image Uploader 6.5 Dual
AJAX-enabled Sample
This demo application shows how to use Image Uploader within AJAX web interface. The application utilizes jQuery Tabs widget to switch between Image Uploader and gallery displaying uploaded files without reloading the page.
The application highlights the following features:
- Displaying thumbnails in a two-pane layout.
- Uploading files with 120x120 thumbnails.
- Handling Image Uploader events to switch tabs.
- Saving and restoring upload list while switching tabs.
Client-Side Code
Image Uploader Appearance
Image Uploader appearance and thumbnail settings are equal to the ones specified within the Basic Demo Sample.
Tabbed Interface
This sample application uses AJAX web interface composed of two tabs. The first tab contains Image Uploader itself, the second one displays uploaded images. The first tab is selected by default on the application startup, and it is switched to the second one when the upload completes.
Saving and Restoring Upload List
When the user switches tabs Image Uploader Java is reinitialized whenever it is hidden and then shown. It means that all the files selected for upload will be discarded during reinitialization. To avoid it the demo application saves the upload list content every time the gallery tab is selected and restore it whenever the Image Uploader tab is switched back. This functionality is implemented using the SaveUploadList() and LoadUploadList() methods. See the Using Image Uploader in AJAX Applications and Restoring Upload Pane Content topics for details.
Server-Side Code
To complete the upload started by Image Uploader, some actions on the server side should be performed. The upload script of this application is almost equivalent to one of the Basic Demo Sample.

3 open source projects keeping COBOL alive and well
3 open source projects for modern COBOL development
An iconic figure of the early history of computing, Grace Hopper is the grandmother of the COBOL programming language. Of her many claims to fame, she invented the first compiler and helped spread the adoption of machine-independent programming languages. Today her legacy lives on in many ways, including the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing.
While Hopper contributions to computing are remembered, celebrated, and built upon by her successors, COBOL itself is often dismissed as a relic of earlier era of computing. To a certain extent, that is true. Most of the COBOL being written today is for maintaining legacy code, not starting new projects. However, the language is still being updated with COBOL 2014 being the most recent standard for the language, and there are still plenty of opportunities to apply for jobs that require COBOL experience.
Thankfully, using COBOL in modern times does not require tracking down legacy hardware. There are several tools available that make using COBOL on modern computers as straightforward as using other programming languages. Below, I take a look at three open source projects that help you code, compile, and use COBOL on a Mac, Linux, or Windows computer. So grab a book on COBOL programming, (if you need one, Beginning COBOL for Programmers by Michael Coughlan is an excellent choice), and start exploring the world of COBOL. No punch cards required.
GnuCOBOL (formerly known as OpenCOBOL) is a modern, open source, COBOL compiler. It works by translating COBOL code into C and compiling the code using GCC. While the project does not claim standards compliance, it passes most of the tests in the COBOL 85 test suite from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Other compilers might be more standards compliant or contain the same quirks as their historical antecedents, but GnuCOBOL is the compiler used by the other two projects I cover below.
To install GnuCOBOL on Fedora:
sudo dnf install open-cobol
Installing under most other Linux distributions and other UNIX-style systems is just as simple. For Debian-based distributions, just replace "dnf" with "apt-get". Mac users can use homebrew to install GnuCOBOL. Installing on Windows is a little more complicated, but instructions are available for those interested in trying GnuCOBOL on Windows.
To compile source code in a file name 'PROGRAM.cob' into an executable file run:
cobc -x PROGRAM.cob
There are many other compilation options, which are listed when running "cobc -h". The GnuCOBOL FAQ is very extensive and provides a large amount of information about using GnuCOBOL.
You can write COBOL using the text editor of your choice, but integrated development environments make life easier. OpenCobolIDE is a specialized IDE designed for working with COBOL. It provides code completion, code folding, syntax highlighting, and a navigation tree, all of which aid in working with COBOL code. It also has a wide variety of color schemes, both light and dark, so most users should be able to find a theme they are comfortable with using.
OpenCobolIDE is a well designed program and is very nice to work with. It is, as noted above, a very specialized IDE that only work with one programming language, but it works with that language quite well. The interface is simple and should not require too much effort to get used to, but should a user need help, the OpenCobolIDE documentation provides a good overview of the IDE.
To install OpenCobolIDE on Fedora you will need to install a few prerequisites first. Install them by running:
sudo dnf install open-cobol python3-qt5
Then install OpenCobolIDE by running:
sudo pip3 install OpenCobolIDE
Installation for other distributions is similar (just replace "dnf" with the appropriate command and install your distribution's equivalent of the open-cobol and python3-qt5 packages). Some distributions do have OpenCobolIDE available as a package in their repositories, so check to see if it available before install via "pip". Windows and Mac users can download OpenCobolIDE installers and use those instead of using "pip".
COBOL bridge for Node.js
Maybe you would like to combine some COBOL code with a more modern development technology? If that is the case, you are in luck. COBOL bridge for Node.js allows you to use COBOL code in Node.js projects.
Node-cobol requires GnuCOBOL, so install that using the instructions above and then run:
npm install cobol
According to the developer, the project is production ready, but honestly it is such an oddity that it unlikely that it is actually being (or will ever be) used in production. Maybe some enterprising reader will come up with a practical use for Node-cobol and share the story of their project with us?

This was a very fair article covering COBOL Open Source initiatives. Thank you.
A few years ago I posted on HalfBakery (a brainstorming/ideas/invention site) about the idea of creating a COBOL-like language for mobile computing, specifically for doing the actual coding on an actual cell phone. That post is at http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/COBOL-like_20programming_20language_20for...
My rationale is that I use Swype for typing on my Android phone. When doing so, I find that words in the English language (at least those in Android's remarkably G-rated spelling dictionary) is something I can do fluidly, while punctuations and numerals are the main speed bump that makes blog commenting less tedious on a desktop. Coding in Java (the lingua franca of Android apps) on the phone the code would run on is something I can't even begin to contemplate trying. But what about COBOL? Given a mobile editor that can help me with indentation rules, typing code would be a breeze. The data structure needs would be vastly different from PICTUREs, though, but I assume COBOL must have evolved some sense of object orientedness or event drivenness or something of the like. Language syntax consisting mostly of English words would, I think, be just the ticket for making the smart phone a full citizen of the world of general-purpose computing, and something the open source community might logically take an interest in. Should I put up a "kickstarter" or something?
I think this is a brilliant idea. I don't see how mobiles are useful if they can't be programmed by the user, and like you, I also cannot imagine trying to code on a mobile with a punctuation-heavy language. I would love to see this idea come to fruition.
Also, I fixed the link for you.
Grace Hopper did not invent COBOL or write the first compiler for it; however, she was critical in its adoption and often gets inaccurate credit, as is the case here.
I believe the true Grandmothers of COBOL would be Jean Sammet and Gertrude Tierney. However, that's a nitpicky detail.
While the idea of Modern Open Source COBOL is marvelous, it's probably 15 years too late. After Y2K, the descent of COBOL resumed. I don't foresee that trajectory ever changing.
I did COBOL for 24 years, up until almost 18 months ago when I made a successful transition into .NET development. Recently I made the transition into Data Management as a SQL Server Data Warehouse DBA. Short of someone offering me a hugely lucrative gig in COBOL, I don't foresee ever going back for either a contract or a perm gig. The end is coming for COBOL, but the death of a language occurs slowly over many years. Old programming languages never die. They just fade away.
For perverse entertainment, I sometimes answer COBOL questions on Stackoverflow. Yes, it's true, people really do ask COBOL questions on SO. I've done it for a sufficiently long time that I don't even need a compiler in front of me to check my code, which is scary in and of itself.
While the idea of a COBOL Renaissance would be wonderful, it just ain't gonna happen.
I was a COBOL programmer for some years (1989/1995) and enjoyed the job.
I recently discovered a website that provides an online development server (virtual) and I installed OpenCobol
See: www.koding.com
Grace hopper doing it, - is again disputed. in 1952 , Grace hopper (from USA) wrote compiler, and in 1952 Alick glennie (from Britain) also wrote compiler . Some people used to put hopper as true claimant, and some people used to put alick glennie as true claimant of first compiler writer.
Now the US exported blind feminism and feminist political correctness took over the world , and without further debating just on historicity and merits; they proclaimed Grace hopper as the first compiler writer, just because they needed a symbol for geek feminism. No discussion happenned further, and now with political correctness, no one wants to dig deep that who is the correct owner of the title " the first compiler writer?" - irrespective of their gender and nationality. The debate was shut shut down, without offering any genuine argument.
==> in reality, as true IT persons/computer geeks/truth seekers, we should say that Grace hopper and Alick Glennie both independently implemented the first compiler in 1952. Among them who did it the first, still needs to be investigate further and established.
Another example of open-source COBOL project that started this year : TypeCobol (https://github.com/TypeCobolTeam/TypeCobol).
It aims to be an incremental compiler able to be used for real-time error detection by any IDE (there are currently basic implementations Eclipse/RDz or VisualStudio).
Currently not quite ready for production, but in active development. :)
I work at one such company. Lots of old timers still writing COBOL. Seeing the code they write in java is a real treat. Helping them understand OOP is fun when you see them grasp a concept and it kinda blows their mind.
Judging by the amount of work that I have been getting over the last 5 - 10 years and despite being 'retired' Cobol is alive and well.
This applies to both m/f (mainframe) and work on PC / servers much of which uses Gnu Cobol.
Cobol programming people will be needed for a long time yet - why ? well the old saying seems to still apply - If it isnt broke don't fix it.
As can be testified by by the number of sites that have been advised to move away from both Cobol and kit from mainframe to PC/servers to language x only to continue with existing (admittedly with updating) having been very bitten, both by escalating costs and poorly designed and written replacements).

I loved this! It's much like an Indian rice pudding, except without the individual grains of rice and with extra goodies added. I didn't have any rice flour, so I just ground some uncooked rice in my coffee grinder...it worked fine. Next time I'm going to make this with orange flower water in place of the rose water, just for some variation. Thanks for sharing!
