Most people bake cakes or run marathons when they want to raise money for charity, not jump out of a plane.
But 21 brave fundraisers took on a terrifying challenge when they skydived 10,000 feet to raise money for St Raphael's Hospice.
The group, many of whom have personal connections with the hospice, met at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury on Sunday, March 23, to complete the feat.
So far they have raised £12,362.
St Raphael's Hospice provides specialist medical and nursing care for people with cancer and other terminal illness, as well providing support to their families and friends.
The hospice supports more than 1,000 patients a year, costs £5 million a year to run and relies on charity fundraising, donation and legacies for 80 per cent of their funding.
Skydivers on the day included two staff members from both Cigna Insurance Services and Wilkinson in Sutton who are both supporting the hospice as their chosen charity.
Kerry Thomas, community fundraising manager for St Raphael's Hospice, said: "I am so pleased everyone got to skydive today. The group were fantastic and have worked hard to raise sponsorship which goes towards the vital work of the hospice."

On June 5th, 1917, he filled out his World War One Registration Card. On it he lists his age as 26. His occupation as a Hotel Clerk and I believe he also worked at the Laconia Tavern with his brother, Earl. He is currently single when he filled this out. He identifies himself as medium build and medium height with light colored hair and blue eyes.
(By Sam Hayward) …About 1934
Charles Cowing, local merchant, "red hot" Democrat, Lieutenant in the Fire Department, prominent Elk and leading citizen here, stepped into a new role last Thursday, when he became acting Chief of Police during the absence of Capt. Chester Bickford.
Lieutenant Cowing, dressed in a brand new and sparkling uniform, appeared early on the streets and directed traffic for some hours at Sanborn Square. He was hoping, he said, to catch some murderer or grasp some beautiful girl just as she was about to fall under a passing truck. "Then I'd become a hero." He told the reporter, but this was not necessary for the mere fact that Lt. Cowing of the fire department became for the day Captain and Chief of the Police Department was news hot enough to make Page 1 of any live newspaper.
Lt. Cowing is a Laconia product, although a native of Meredith and was for some years a member of the Lake City fire department, was also in business in Laconia, and at one time was Assistant Manager of the Laconia Tavern. In Meredith, where he runs a fine little store near the depot, is raising a fine little family in his home near the store and pretty Mrs. Cowing, well remembered as Katherine Collard, is his ever-helpful assistant. Two little Cowings are seen frequently about the village and the Lieutenant is at present drilling them in police and fire department manuals that they may become fine looking officers and get a chance to save lives like their Dad in the days to come.
Mr. Cowing is very popular in Meredith and is always in demand on public occasions here. He is 32, jolly and bald headed.
Charles Irving Cowing – graduated from Meredith High School in 1924 and went to St. Louis, Missouri – worked in a munitions factory during World War I.
He played semi-pro baseball and basketball in St. Louis. He was nick-named "Spider". He returned to New Hampshire and married my mother, Katherine Collard. They had two boys, Charles and Kenneth L. Cowing.
He was a police officer in Meredith for a couple of years and a member of the fire department for 50 plus years. I have his badge of 50 years from the Fire Department. He was also a member of a committee to create the Alumni Association for Meredith High School.
Early occupations other than the above, he was a member of the Laconia Fire department, bred and raised Alaskan Huskies as sled dogs throughout New England.
Children of CHARLES COWING and KATHERINE COLLARD are:

text: Angus Hollands 869 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 Hey everyone! I'm rewriting my multiplayer system for a first person shooter. Reasons for doing so include moving closer to OO design patters (or at least trying not to mix with other patterns) and also to make it cleaner to use. First of all, I'm using Python and not the usual C++. So, my first question involves entity systems. I have found few resources that relate them to Python, but they seem to be simply isolated update methods for the "entity". The pattern involves avoiding interaction (direct) between components, and using messages if necessary. Assuming that my understanding is correct, can I ask if anyone has successfully implemented an entity system with networking for a First Person Shooter? Following from this, here are my questions before they are extended: I don't like the way in which I must add endless methods to a GameObject entity to simply send its state. How would anyone recommend enabling serialisation of an object? At the moment I scrape data and pack it into bytes, but I am open to the idea of networked attributes (properties / fields). Be aware that there is a far more implied meaning of private variables than other language; for the most part they don't exist, simply name-mangled. How would one allow for object serialisation? In terms of collecting any data serialised? At present, I have a manager class that calls the to_bytes method of each entity (GameObject) and in turn returns a sum of the bytes. It seems a lengthy step, especially when unserialising is a similar process. Here are my qualms about it: At present, I use an inheritance model. This is fine, save for the following points: Adding any new behaviour essentially involves rewriting the inherited method Serialising the object still requires a dedicated method for doing so Now, my point about serialisation is almost avoidable at present. I could add an inspection layer that deduces the attributes of the object that should be replicated, but then I am most likely better to use an entity system for the isolation it provides with the components (avoiding cluttering the Object class directly) (see here for a good example (in my opinion) of a networked ES (although for generic game models, and non-authoritative I believe) ). Overall, I think I have too many questions than I can easily define on paper. So perhaps let me try and summarise (sort of!) What are the main methods for state replication? Is it advantageous to use RPC updates that invoke state changes, or just use a full state / delta encoded state system instead Are there any good resources other than I've mentioned on EntitySystems? Can anyone offer any insight into alternative yet relatively tolerant uses of OO that could work as a solution? What is the most common architecture for dealing with game state? E.g Object heirarchy, object manager, ownership of update methods, serialise methods etc. Thank you all if you've got this far!! Angus. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nearly a quarter of small and medium sized business owners in the South West feel they lack a winning edge over their competitors, according to a new survey.
And of that 23 per cent, almost one in ten believe a shortage of funding for growth is preventing them from competing for more business.
The figures come from the latest Close Brothers Business Barometer, a quarterly poll that canvasses the opinions of UK SME owners and business managers on a range of issues.
Robin Goddard, regional director of Close Brothers Invoice Finance in the South West, said: "Our research suggests that many small business owners in the South West are concerned about their ability to compete in the wider marketplace.
"A lack of funding for growth is a real concern, because without an adequate supply of working capital, it will be difficult for SMEs to thrive.
"A further quarter of the 23 per cent of bosses that say that they lack a competitive advantage, believe it can be attributed to the fact that their product or service is too expensive.
"Interestingly, the Business Barometer shows that a quarter of local firms that are confident they have an edge over their rivals say the key to success is their ability to offer value for money.
"In today's competitive business landscape, companies need to be able to react quickly to changes in the market, which may mean re-evaluating pricing structures or reconsidering their financial plans."
The survey further revealed that only 28 per cent of businesses polled in the South West expect their business to expand within the next 12 months, while 62 per cent expect trading figures to stay the same.
Mr Goddard said: "In order to gain a competitive advantage in the wider market place, firms must be able to access capital to allow them to seize opportunities as they arise.
"To do this, they need to be aware of the full range of funding methods available to them.
"We harbour some truly brilliant and innovative companies here in the South West and we need to ensure they are in a position to compete on a global scale in today's global marketplace."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The history behind Florida's first flour mill begins 1,166 miles west of Jacksonville in the small town of Atchison, Kansas. There, in 1916, Otto Bresky started his career as a flour broker leading him to purchase his own mill two years later. In 1928, Bresky's company became known as Rodney Milling.
After acquiring Ismert-Hinke Milling in 1938 and Consolidated Flour Mills in 1950, Bresky merged his company with Hathaway Industries, Inc. in 1959. As a result of the merger, the company became known as the Seaboard Allied Milling Corporation.

Encouraged by post World War II modernizing transportation facilities, a trend in the industry to mill flour close to areas of consumption rather than production led to Seaboard implementing this strategy in the 1960s. Already operating flour mills in Kansas City, Topeka, and McPherson, Kansas, Seaboard's first mill east of the Mississippi River was completed in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1962.
Two years later, in September 1964, the company announced its intentions to invest in Jacksonville. The purpose of the Jacksonville mill would be to distribute flour exclusively to industrial bakeries in North Florida and South Georgia. The selected five-acre site was at the new Expressway Industrial Park along Moncrief Creek in Northwest Jacksonville.

The 100-acre Expressway Industrial Park was developed by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, which had a continuing program of acquiring land along its tracks to encourage rail-served industrial development. The 100-acre site had the benefit of having ACL rail frontage on the north end of the property and access to the Jacksonville Expressway Authority's new 20th Street Expressway (now MLK Parkway) to the south.
Along with the Wiesenfield Warehouse Company, which opened a 200,000 square foot building across the street, Seaboard Allied's Jacksonville mill would serve as the initial anchors of the new industrial district.
This 1988 image illustrates a much larger milling operation than the original 1966 facility. Image courtesy of bdh408 at http://www.panoramio.com/photo/51618519
Opening in 1966, Florida's first commercial flour mill was designed to be highly automated at the time. The milling of flour was accomplished by grinding grain between stones or steel wheels. Grain would come to the Jacksonville mill by truck or train and be transported by conveyor to the head house at the top of the elevator.
From there, the grain would be distributed to one of several ten story reinforced concrete storage bins capable of holding as much as 422,000 bushels. Running at full strength, the four story mill could produce up to 250,000 pounds of flour a day.
Over the next decade, Seaboard added more South and East Coast mills in Virginia, Louisiana, and New York. In addition, the company agressively expanded overseas with new mills in Ecuador, Sierra Leone, Guyana, Liberia, and Nigeria. However, by the 1982, the industry had become increasingly competitive causing Seaboard to sell the Jacksonville Moncrief facility, along with all of its domestic milling operations to Cargill, Inc. for $40 million.
Out of the flour milling industry, the company changed its name to the Seaboard Corporation and moved into the poultry and pork processing industries. Today, still owned by heirs of Otto Bresky, the company now ranks among the top five U.S. pork producers.

Gene expression profiling experiments performed with MCF7 breast cancer cells where wild-type p53 was reactivated using RNAi knockdown of Hdm2 or HdmX led to our discovery that YPEL3 (Yippee-like-3), a member of a family of putative zinc finger motif coding genes, is a p53-regulated gene (Heminger, Markey et al. 2009).
We recently published that YPEL3 is directly transactivated by p53, that YPEL3 induction is growth suppressive triggering cellular senescence in various tumor and primary cells and that YPEL3 expression is reduced in ovarian tumors through CpG DNA hypermethylation (Kelley, Miller et al. 2010).
Current research is aimed at addressing the following aspects pertaining to YPEL3:
- What is the mechanism by which YPEL3 triggers cellular senescence?
- Development of mouse models and cell based assays to assess whether YPEL3 a tumor suppressor.
- Understanding how YPEL3 is regulated independent of the p53 tumor suppressor.
- Role of p53 family members in YPEL3 expression.
- Determining the role other YPEL family members play in cell growth.

70000 tons of metal 2012, Majesty of the Seas - Deesse_de_la_nuit
All That I Bleed
the –ü–ĺ–Ĺ–Ķ–ī–Ķ–Ľ—Ć–Ĺ–ł–ļ 23 –Į–Ĺ–≤–į—Ä—Ć 2012
Although I have been back from my last vacation for more than 2 weeks now, it is still hard to 'Äúcome back to reality'ÄĚ.
I could try to create some suspense or curiosity about my destination, but I guess the main title of this review will spoil any intentions I could possibly have of doing that. So, instead, I will cut to the chase and answer the question that people have been asking me since I have returned back home: 'ÄúSo'Ķ How was it?'ÄĚ
I can't really describe everything in a few words. I need to tell a tale here! After all, what could be more epic than going to a cruiseship, in the Caribbean, with 42 metal bands playing onboard, for 4 days? So, let me get started…
2012 was the second 70000 tons of metal edition. It happened from January 23rd until January 27th, from Miami to the Cayman Island. Who were the bands playing? Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Therion, Suffocation, Grave Digger, Virgin Steel, Samael, Eluveitie, Alestorm, Moonsorrow, Over Kill, Venom… just to name a few.
I have to say that for me (and probably for many other people), the cruise experience didn't start when I first arrived to the ship. It started months before the festival when I often entered the event's website to check the bands that were being announced. It continued on the flight to Miami and it continued at the airport, at the hotel, at the van going to the port … Why? Because at all these places I started to spot the people (including musicians) that were going to be on that ship with me… I could feel the energy building up in the air.
On Monday 23rd, when I got to the boat I started exploring the 'Äúterritory'ÄĚ: 12 decks, 3 concert stages, many shops, restaurants, spa, gym, climbing wall, basketball court and the most popular places: the bars! Yes'Ķ they were already crowded before the boat even left the port!
Let me explain something before you start wondering about the festival stages: There were 3 stages on the boat: Spectrum Lounge, Chorus Line Amphitheater and Pool Deck; the smallest being the Spectrum Lounge and the largest being the Pool Deck. Each venue offered different types of experiences and different types of atmospheres. The coolest one in my opinion was the Pool Deck Stage, just because you can watch the concerts there from the pool or from the hot tubs.
The first concert was at 6pm with Alestorm. The entire festival population must have been there because it was incredibly crowded. The concert was held in the Spectrum Lounge. The night continued with 13 other concerts, including Grave Digger, Coroner, Tristania, Moonsorrow, Samael, Candlemass, Nightwish, Eluveitie and Edguy.
My favorite moment of the day: Moonsorrow. The musicians gave the crowd a concert filled with lots of energy and enthusiasm. The worst moment of the day: waiting for the main stage on the Pool Deck to be ready. The organizers had a hard time putting it together due to some complications, so some concerts started late.
The second day started early with Whiplash at 10 am on the Pool Deck. It was so great and at the same time so weird to have breakfast in a nice restaurant, sitting down around metalheads. The day was awesome: God Dethroned, Orphaned Land, Suffocation, Kamelot, Tankard, In Extremo, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom, Venom… The marathon was over at 04:15am, when Crowbar ended the final concert of the day. In total 27 bands played on the second day.
My favorite part of the day: Suffocation at the Chorus Line! Really… what a concert… the guys simply gave the best concert of the cruise. Orphaned Land also did a great job at the Pool Deck! My least favorite part of the day: the loooong line to get to the Merch Store. Some people were there for more than 3 hours. Maybe this is something to be improved for the festival's next edition.
Wednesday was a different day dedicated to the Cayman Island. Yes! We had finally arrived at our destination. Many people decided to enjoy it by going to some tours that were offered onboard, like visiting the village called Hell, snorkeling, visiting a turtle farm or doing city center tour. Some people just stayed onboard and hanged out around the pool.
At night time the boat starting to sail back to Miami and the concerts re-started. Another round of amazing bands like Overkill, Annihilator, Cannibal Corpse, Pestilence, My Dying Bride, Kataklysm, Massacre, Exciter and Vicious Rumors played that night, totaling 17 concerts.
Best part of the day: seeing some musicians hang around at the Cayman Island and inside the boat. Least favorite part of the day: I really can't think of any! Awesome day!
The last day's concert started the same way as the ones on Tuesday: early! First concert starting at 10am and last concert finishing at 3am. Many great concerts during that last festival's day: Virgin Steel, Megora, Hammerfall, Amorphis, Atheist, Therion, Sapiency, Diamond Plate, Riot, Dark Funeral, Pretty Maids, Channel Zero.
The total concerts on the last day were 26. But I can tell you that a lot of people showed up to see something else besides concerts that day: The Belly Flop contest. Lots of fun!!! Several guys competing, lots of people cheering, a really fun narrator… the pool deck was full!!
Best moments of the day: the belly flop contest, Samael and Amorphis. These two bands did awesome concerts'Ķ the bands were really trying hard to give the crowd the best concert they could. The least favorite moment: I have to say this, even though I hate naming band for bad concerts'Ķ Channel Zero. The lead singer seemed'Ķ let'Äôs say'Ķ not in his 'Äúnormal'ÄĚ state, which is not professional and not fair to the crowd. I may be wrong, but I can tell you that the concert was not at all on the same level as the other bands playing that night.
When Friday came there was a little bit of sadness in the air. Everybody leaving the boat, little by little all the decks were getting empty, even the bars! But there was something that you could see on people's faces: the satisfaction they felt about their vacation and the will to come back next year.
To summarize: There is a reason why people are talking so much about 70000 tons of metal. This festival is truly amazing and unique. Not only because it is on a ship, during a cruise, but because of the special moments that people can experience there: from living and breathing metal 100% of the time (for 4 days) to bumping into favorite musicians at the hallways, elevators, concerts and restaurants. Where else could you sit down for a fancy dinner with brutal death metal playing on the background?
My congratulations to the creators and organizers of this festival! I can sincerely say: NICE JOB! The trip was worth every penny…

Did you know?
Upington Airport has the longest runway in Africa at 4 900m, and was a designated alternative landing spot for the US shuttle programme.
The drive between Upington and the Kgaladgadi Transfrontier National Park in the remote reaches of the Northern Cape province is the kind of South African outback road trip you do with some adventurous friends in a sturdy vehicle.
You could do the Upington-Askham drive on the R360 in about two hours – it's an easy 200km trip north. But, in the spirit of back-roads adventure, we're going to do the 'Kalahari Loop' between these two destinations – a distance of more than 500km.
The first day of our journey begins in the air and not on the road. We drive out to Upington Airport and hire a gyroplane and pilot for an hour of slowly meandering up and down the Orange River, taking soft-light, post-dawn photographs en route.
Once back on the ground, we take the N14 east to Kathu for about 200km, and then turn off on the R31 to the town of Vanzylsrus, our first overnight stop. The Vanzylsrus Hotel has a deep history, and the kind of outsider artist décor that looks awesome out here in the middle of a sandy nowhere.
It used to be called the Gemsbok Hotel, and one of the evergreen stories about the bar is that a couple of local farmers once brought in a prize sheep and ran a tab way beyond its value. That's the kind of desert tourism story you hear in the dry heart of Australia or in a US state like New Mexico.
So we stop over at this amazing place and stage a little party in the bar, leaving no stone unturned in our quest for good times on this unusual loop.
The next morning, we head for Koppieskraal, where we ride camels on the red dunes, have a sunset braai (barbecue) with a grand old camelthorn log fire, and toast the road that brought us here.
The camels we ride are the descendants of the famous frontier police camels that used to traverse this vast area, chasing crooks and vagabonds. They used to be trained at a police base at Witdraai, not far from here.
Being on a rising camel is a singular experience. First you tip dramatically forwards, then dramatically backwards as the camel first straightens its hind legs and then its front legs – you can understand why camels are called the ships of the desert. Once they're up, though, you suddenly have a lofty view of the landscape around you, and it's fabulous.
The next day we arrive at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, where we're booked into chalets at Twee Rivieren Camp. We check in at reception and spot an entry in a guest book: 'The Kalahari will reveal itself only to those who seek with a true heart.' Do we qualify?
In the late afternoon we embark on our first game drive. The park is unusually green due to recent rainfall, and the air is fragrant. We see great numbers of gemsbok (oryx), jackals, blue wildebeest and even some cheetah, as well as too many raptor birds to mention.
In the early evening, we light up the braai fires and discuss wildlife and the pure joy of being up here in the Kalahari. It's a good thing we booked some extra nights in advance...

How to get here
Upington is almost equi-distant from Cape Town (approx. 820km) and Johannesburg (approx. 850km), at lease a 10-hour drive, and lies both on the N14 and the Orange River.
Best time to visit
This area is arguably loveliest in spring (August to September) or autumn (April to May).
Around the area
Visit a meerkat project near Vanzylsrus – it costs R250 per person, and is well worth it. Inquire at the Vanzylsrus Hotel.
Tours to do
Guided game drives organised in the morning and evenings at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
Get around
Driving yourself is the best option in this part of the country. If possible, hire something sturdier than a regular sedan.
What will it cost
The transfrontier park chalets start at R900 per unit; the rates at the Vanzylsrus Hotel start at R450 pp for bed and breakfast.
Length of stay
Set aside at least five days and four nights for your trip, or even more if you can.
What to pack
Pack seasonally, informally and remember to throw in your sunblock, camera manual, extra memory cards and camera batteries. During the summer (November to April), the temperatures in this area can be searingly hot, though cool right down at night. In winter (May to August), nights can be bitterly cold, though days are usually warm and mild, so pack accordingly.
Where to stay
Recommended overnight stays include the Vanzylsrus Hotel, Koppieskraal Guest Farm and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. You may need to book long in advance to secure your accommodation in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
What to eat
This is red meat country, so stock up at butcher shops en route and barbecue (braai) under the wide Kalahari skies.
What's happening
Check the listed websites for events happening in the area during the time of your visit.
Best buys
You can buy delicious sultanas and sweet wines in one of the many Upington co-ops and general stores.

Chobani is in more hot water after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it was investigating at least 89 sicknesses allegedly tied to eating Choabni's moldy yogurt.
According to the Magic Valley (Idaho) Times-News, FDA spokeswoman Tamara Ward explains that while no cases have been confirmed, 89 people have described nausea and cramps after eating the tainted yogurt. Read more here.
However, one food-safety expert wonders if the illnesses might be connected with something else.
"I'm not discounting the consumers, that they didn't get sick, but it's more than likely not the mold that made you sick," Randy Worobo, professor of food science at Cornell University, said in an interview carried by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The species they say are involved, it hasn't been linked to previous food-borne illness outbreaks. It's generally regarded as a spoilage organism."
"With this mold, if you were to ingest it, you would not get vomiting or diarrhea within hours of consuming it. A lot of the emails I've had, they said they fed it to their child or themselves and within an hour, they had nausea or vomiting or diarrhea. That's only with pre-formed toxins, when you had microorganisms that produce that vomiting or diarrhea toxins. This mold doesn't have that diarrhea toxins," he explains.
See, "FDA investigating 89 complaints of illness from recalled Chobani yogurt."
In the meantime, Law360 reports that Chobani was hit earlier this week with a proposed class action lawsuit in California federal court, accused of manufacturing and distributing mold-tainted Greek yogurt. Click here for more.
Last week, Chobani attempted to calm worries about their moldy yogurt recall, and announced that the mold at the center of the recall – Mucor circinelloide – does not pose a health risk to most consumers.
The recall affected less than 5 percent of Chobani's products and even prompted a federal probe. The mold caused the yogurt products to swell, distorting the packaging and even causing some to burst.
"While this type of mold is common in the dairy environment, particularly when using only natural ingredients that are absent of artificial preservatives, it's still unacceptable to me and all of our yogurt makers," Ulukaya said in a letter to customers.
"I'm sorry we let you down," he added.

Late heroics from the home team combined with Roy Miller's woeful showing mean the Red Bulls leave California with nothing to show for an early lead.
In a match that was mostly dull, a wild final 10 minutes turned a snoozer into a memorable affair.
After San Jose had spurned a couple early chances, the Red Bulls bagged the game's first goal with their first real chance. Thierry Henry floated a cross which was deflected into the path of Eric Alexander, who sidefooted a volley home at the back post.
As San Jose's attack sputtered, head coach Frank Yallop introduced rookie forward Adam Jahn, who would go on to have a night to remember.
First, he struck the equalizer on 83 minutes, cropping up at the back post to get a flying foot on Sam Cronin's fantastic ball across the face of goal. Minutes later, his header struck Roy Miller's outstretched arm in the box to give the home side a penalty.
If Miller's penalty concession was bad, what followed was simply disastrous. Chris Wondolowski's spot kick was saved by Luis Robles, but Miller wandered several steps into the box prior to the penalty, forcing a re-take. Given a second chance, Wondo made no mistake, and just like they did so many times in 2012, the Earthquakes stole a late victory.

Senile plaques (syn. neuritic plaques, senile druse, braindruse) are extracellular deposits of amyloid in the gray matter of the brain. The deposits are associated with degenerative neural structures and an abundance of microglia and astrocytes. Large numbers of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are characteristic features of Alzheimer's disease.
The plaques are variable in shape and size, but are on the average 50 µm in size. (Franke, M.) In Alzheimer's disease they are primarily composed of amyloid beta peptides. These polypetides tend to aggregate and are believed to be neurotoxic.
Senile plaques are visible in light microscopy after staining by silver, Congo red, Thioflavin, Kresylviolett, PAS-reaction, and by fluorescence and immunofluorescence microscopy.
Senile plaques can be found in human and animal brains (e.g. mammals and birds). From an age of 60 years (10%) to an age of 80 years (60%) the proportion of people with plaques increases approximately linearly. A small number of plaques can be due to the physiological process of aging. Women are slightly more likely to have plaques than males (Franke, M.). The plaques occur commonly in the amygdoid nucleus and the sulci of the cortex of brain.
Blocq and Marinesco first described plaques in the grey matter in 1892. Because of their similarity to the actinomyces druses they were called druse necrosis by O. Fischer in the beginning of the 20th century. The connection of plaques and demential illness was discovered by Alzheimer in 1906. Bielschowsky supposed in 1911 the amyloid-nature of the plaques. Wisniewski denominated them neuritic plaques in 1973. The second half of the 20th century saw proposed theories of immunological and genetic factors in plaque formation (Katenkamp, Op den Velde und Stam). Statistically investigations were performed by J.A.N. Corsellis and M. Franke in the 1970s. M. Franke showed that a demential disease is likely when the number of senile plaques in the frontal cortex is more than 200/mm3. In 1985 succeeded the biochemical identification of amyloid beta. But there are more unsolved questions of formation and importance of the plaque formation.
The senile plaques are an important criterion of the neuropathological-histological verification of the Alzheimer's disease; other factors in verification include pathological neurofibrillaries, tangles, atrophic brain with hydrocephalus, and other degenerative signs. The formation and the distribution of the pathological neurofibrillaries have a regularity (H. Braak and E. Braak) and allows to stage the disease. In combination with the occurrence of a great number of plaques the Alzheimer's disease can diagnosed with high probability.

TWO men have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after a daylight raid on a flat in Malvern Link.
The men, one aged 37 and from the Malvern area, and the other aged 24 from Birmingham, have not yet been charged, and have been released on police bail until September 4.
The raid happened early yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon and passers-by saw police officers accompanied by a dog entering the flat, above an empty shop premises, formerly a hairdresser, in Richmond Road, just off the main road junction in the Link.
A spokesman said that, although no drugs were discovered on the premises, drug paraphernalia, including scales and wrapping materials, were seized.
An amount of cash, thought to be in the region of hundreds of pounds, was also confiscated.
Seven officers took part in the raid, including a dog handler with a dog trained to detect drugs.

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

HOUSTON - Officials said a woman was targeted by a thief in her own driveway, but what the thief may not have known was that the whole incident was caught on camera.
Patricia Hernandez said she left her son in the back seat to quickly run inside to grab some papers, giving a thief the perfect opportunity to strike.
"This is one of my mistakes I do this all the time, leave the car running," said Hernandez. "I do always lock it, but for some reason this time I didn't lock it."
When Hernandez got back in her car, she noticed the passenger door was open.
"The first thing I thought, somebody got in my car," said Hernandez. "I look to the back, see my baby, see the diaper bag and right away I realize my purse was gone."
While Hernandez was inside, a man pulled up, jumped out of his car, slowly walked to the passenger-side door, grabbed her purse and ran off, all while her baby was in the back seat.
"I can see in the surveillance video that he has gloves, he knows what he is doing, he knew his intentions," said Hernandez. "I have no idea where this person came (from)."
This isn't the first time the Hernandez family said they have been targeted by crooks. A few weeks earlier, their surveillance video showed white pickup truck pull into their driveway, several men jumped out and tried to steal the basketball hoop, which was too heavy to lift.
"It messes with you emotionally and you are put in the position where you don't have security," said Hernandez. "You don't know who is following you."
Neighbors said they are now on edge that something like this could happen so close to their homes.
"It makes us nervous because maybe that happens to us some day," said Dao Tran.
Tran said she has lived in this neighborhood for 17 years and said the neighborhood has gotten less safe as the years pass.
"Anytime I go out, I lock the door," said Tran. "Anytime I leave the car, I also lock the door."

Coalition Extends Drought Photo Campaign, Asks Texans to Document Conservation, Positive Drought Response
Deadline to Submit Photos Extended to Oct. 31; Best Photos to be Displayed at Texas Capitol
AUSTIN — A the coalition of three state agencies has extended through October their "What does your Texas drought look like?" statewide photo project, which has already has received hundreds of compelling photographs documenting the devastation caused by the ongoing drought. And the coalition is now asking Texans to share photos showing the other side of the drought, by documenting innovative water conservation methods and positive drought responses.
The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) announced today that Texans have an extra month to submit their photos. The new deadline is Thursday, Oct. 31.
Additionally, TDA, TWDB and TPWD will display some of the most compelling photos in an exhibit at the Texas Capitol from Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. Examples of the outstanding photos provided by Texans from across the state are on TPWD's news images web page.
"Each Texan has experienced the drought's ferocity in different ways," Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said. "Our agencies are joining forces to collect and share these stories with other Texans, as well as for the historical record for future generations to appreciate the importance of drought preparedness and proactive, voluntary water conservation. We know citizen-led conservation efforts are our best alternative to mandated restrictions that can hurt our economy."
Texas' many diverse regions are each experiencing the drought in unique ways. This project aims to educate Texans on the critical nature of drought and water conservation. By providing the photographs, the public will help TDA, TWDB and TPWD create a historical archive. The agencies believe it is important for Texans to contribute their personal photos that illustrate the creative uses of native plants, water conservation methods and other positive responses to the drought.
"The photo campaign has revealed the widespread scope of the Texas drought and some of the innovative ways Texans are responding," said TWDB Board Chairman Carlos Rubinstein. "Because TWDB takes the lead in several agricultural, municipal and industrial water conservation programs, we'd like to see even more ways Texans are saving water during the drought. Conservation of the state's water resources is a vital part of this conversation."
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, more than 93 percent of Texas is experiencing some form of drought, and more than 64 percent of the state is suffering from severe to exceptional drought.
"Even though there have been welcome rains across parts of Texas in September, and people in cities may see some green on their lawns, it's important to understand the drought is by no means over," TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith said. "Lake levels remain low across much of the state, river flows are down, bay salinities are high—the picture remains serious by many measures. This project thus has an important role to remind people about the toll of drought, and it underscores the importance of water planning and conservation. We all have a role to play in conserving water."
Photographs and video may be submitted to the Flickr group, "What does your Texas drought look like?" at www.flickr.com/groups/texasdrought. This is a public webpage that anyone with an Internet connection can view, even those who are not members of Flickr. Rules and instructions on how to share photos are available on the Flickr page.
Photographs also may be posted to Twitter or Instagram. Please use the hashtag #txdrought when sharing photos. The campaign's Instagram account is texasdrought. Tag photos with date, location and include a short description. Additionally, anyone can email up to three photos to firstname.lastname@example.com, and project organizers will post the pictures to the Flickr page. All user-submitted photographs must be original content.

For more
than three decades, Southeast Rural Community Assistance
Project, Inc. has earned the reputation on the state,
regional, national and even international levels as
providing expert service in the field of water and
What began as an attempt to bring safe drinking water to rural poor residents of Virginia's Roanoke Valley has grown into an agency which has been directly responsible for bringing safe water and sanitary waste disposal facilities to more than 450,000 households in its seven state region.
It all started in the mid 1960s when outreach workers from a fledgling anti-poverty agency called Total Action Against Poverty (TAP) went into the rural communities of the counties around Roanoke with surveys to find out what were the most pressing needs of the low-income residents. Among the responses they heard over and over again was the need for access to safe drinking water.
Low income families in the TAP service area were bailing water from contaminated creeks and springs, catching rainwater in buckets or buying water at the general store in pop bottles.
Outreach workers identified at least 500 poor families for whom access to safe drinking water was a critical issue. By 1968 a group of community representatives from the five counties in TAP's service organized the Demonstration Water Project (DWP). They received a grant from the federal Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) to fund a program to help low-income families in the area gain access to a safe water supply. During the period of 1970 to 1975, the Demonstration Water Project developed water systems in 10 rural communities using a simple methodology. Communities in need of assistance were identified and groups of community residents were organized to address their water problems. These residents became the local non-profit, stock-owned water companies in their communities and were trained by DWP staff.
DWP would help these communities develop water projects, including obtaining financing, gathering the requisite official approval, and contributing engineering services. Once the water systems were completed, officers of the non-profit corporation would manage, operate, and maintain the systems.
Officers of the non-profit corporations would also read meters, prepare and issue bills, and collect fees to assist with running their water companies and to repay their FmHA loan.
The first grant for the new Demonstration Water Project in Roanoke, Virginia was intended to bring water service to rural communities in five Virginia counties. As the federal OEO recognized the impact the program could have nationwide, it wanted the project to design training in order to replicate the same process used in rural Virginia.

This sets the Percentage of used Fresh Swap
This sets the Percentage of used Fresh Swap the warning message is shown.
Revision as of 23:47, 10 January 2014
FlopSwap is a Swap management Tool for N900.
It features as a GUI to refresh your devices Linux Swap to speed up your VM.
Partition Requirements
Before FlopSwap will function your micro SD card needs setting up with two equally sized linux-swap partitions and one on the device (backup).
If you have not removed the swap partition on your device the later will already be working.
Swap fragmentation starts to occur, when total number of megabytes written during swap's life time exceed it's maximum size. Until that, swap is written in a sequential manner. Blocks that are no longer needed are marked as free, but never used.
After reaching end of swap space, previously used and freed blocks are rewritten, using new content. This means no longer writing sequentially causing massive slowdowns, to an already sluggish swap; when compared to RAM.
A workaround to this is to disable and enable swap again - linuxswap filesystem content doesn't live through restarts, and once re-enabled, is written sequentially again.
FlopSwap does this by switching to a fresh swap space on every "reswap". By doing this it saves moving swap to B and back again, hence "FlopSwap".
Main Swap Partition on Micro SD
Putting the Main Swap space on your microSD saves the device from I/O conflicts between swap and /opt requests. Also flash based devices don't handle simultaneous, autonomous requests very well. Another huge advantage is that it reduces a large amount of wear & tear from the devices non-replaceable flash device, at expense of a cheap and replaceable microSD card.
More information on the package can be found ...
talk.maemo.org thread FlopSwap
The latest versions can be found in the Extras-Devel repository and can be installed using the N900 Application Manager (HAM).
There are four main operations:-
- Fresh Swap
This swaps to a fresh SD swap space from either the device or another SD swap.
- Swap to Device
This moves the swap space to the device so the back cover can be removed.
- Show Current
Shows currently active swap(s) (cat /proc/swaps)
- Check Usage
Shows current fresh swap usage percentage via hildon banner and recommends fresh swap at your selected threshold via hildon dialog.
- Enable FlopSwap
This setting should be enabled to use FlopSwap. It is provided to disable starting on uSD swap for whatever reason.
- Threshold for Swap Used Warning
This sets the Percentage of used Fresh Swap before the warning message is shown.
Please report bugs to the talk.maemo.org thread page.
How do I setup linux-swap?
The easiest way is to use GParted on a desktop. Then make two equally sized "linux-swap" partitions, 800MB is fine. These partitions are best located after the first FAT partition.
The card will then have a FAT part (partition 1) swap1 (partition 2) and swap2 (partition 3).
Can we make FlopSwap run on a timer or schedule?
Yes, you can call the swap refresh script from a shell or cron/alarmed
sudo /opt/flopswap/script/swapswitch.sh
FlopSwap shows a dialog message saying swap can no longer be calculated
Unfortunately you have reached the limit that the stock N900 shell can calculate. Use the timer method listed above to grab a fresh swap, while you sleep"
What type does the first partition have to be?
FAT32 is recommended as this type will work on all variations of Maemo. There is no reason why other file systems cannot be used.
Even if an incorrect file type is used this will not effect the operation of FlopSwap. However the card may show as "corrupt" to the device, you therefore cannot use this to store data.
Currently tested first partition types are :-
FAT32, ext2 and ext3

Learn How To Photograph Big Bend Scenery at Spring Workshops
PRESIDIO, Texas — Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine chief photographer Earl Nottingham will join with a top Canon representative to host spring digital photography workshops at Big Bend Ranch State Park. The dates for the four-day workshops are May 17-20 and May 21-24.
The digital camera workshops are designed for beginners to intermediate level photographers who want to understand and work with basic digital techniques, including composition, lighting (artificial and natural), portraits and working with digital workflow. The workshop emphasis will be on the art of photography and the nuts and bolts of working with the digital image, according to Nottingham.
"The camera is the perfect tool to gain a true appreciation of the Big Bend Country," Nottingham said. "It forces you to sit on a mountaintop while waiting for magic light and to savor the sights, sounds and fragrances of the Chihuahuan Desert."
Participants meet at Fort Leaton State Historic Site in Presidio to caravan 30 miles to the 311,000-acre state park where they'll spend four days and three nights at the Big Bend Ranch headquarters, Sauceda. The workshop itinerary includes day treks during the mornings and evenings to photograph scenic locations inside the park, mid-day classroom presentations and critiques.
The cost of the three-night, four-day workshop is $450, which covers park entry fees, lodging, meals and assistance of park rangers. Lodging is at the Sauceda Lodge, featuring dormitory-style accommodations with separate wings for men and women, and a dining room where meals are served.
To find out more or to reserve a spot in the fall digital workshop, visit the Big Bend Ranch State Park Web site or call Big Bend Ranch State Park at (432) 358-4444.

I've used up all of the "good" cuts from my annual beef order and it's getting down to the "other" pieces of beef now. I actually like the sirloin tip roast and this was the last one.
I started with the Garlic Pepper Rib Roast recipe from BBQ USA and modified it by adding dried rosemary and some red pepper flakes.
The roast was covered and placed in the fridge for about 24 hours, and during that time the meat got really dark.
I've really come to like the rotisserie for cuts of meat that have a wet rub or paste that would likely come off on the grill grates.
It wound up a little more done than I wanted but there was still enough pink. Besides, it wasn't my fault...the Bears and Ravens went into overtime!
A kaiser roll, some pit beef sauce, and a little pasta salad finished out my plate. The crust on the roast was salty and spicy to the point that I was worried the beef wouldn't be that good, but the sauce really did a good job of balancing the flavors.
I think the only roast I have left is a rump roast, and I'm not too sure what to do with it...

Ex-Patriot Stingley dead at 55
Darryl Stingley, whose career with the New England Patriots ended when he was paralyzed after taking a vicious hit in an exhibition game in 1978, died early yesterday morning. He was 55.
An autopsy revealed that bronchial pneumonia, quadriplegia, spinal cord injury, and coronary atherosclerosis contributed to Mr. Stingley's death.
Mr. Stingley was found unresponsive in his Chicago-area home and pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to Tony Brucci, an investigator with the Cook County (Ill.) medical examiner's office.
Former teammates and friends remembered Mr. Stingley yesterday as a talented wide receiver with an upbeat personality who devoted the later years of his life to helping others through his Chicago-based Darryl Stingley Youth Foundation. Mr. Stingley also took a great interest in education.
"He was very proud that he received his degree from Purdue from his bed, through taking courses over the television," said Jack Sands, Mr. Stingley's sports agent and longtime friend. "I think that was probably one of his proudest moments, completing his degree as a quadriplegic. He was very much at peace with himself and was looking forward to seeing his grandchildren in college."
A native of Chicago, Mr. Stingley was the 19th overall selection in the 1973 NFL draft, and was the third of three first-round choices for the Patriots that year, joining John Hannah and Sam Cunningham to form what was arguably the greatest first-round draft class in franchise history. He played five seasons for the Patriots, appearing in 60 games and totaling 110 receptions for 1,883 yards and 14 touchdowns.
On Aug. 12, 1978, with the Patriots playing an exhibition game against the Oakland Raiders, Mr. Stingley absorbed a vicious hit from Raiders safety Jack Tatum, which broke his neck. Mr. Stingley spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
"We had a slant pattern called to Darryl, someone flashed early, I double-pumped, and threw the ball by him, high and over his head," recalled Steve Grogan, a longtime Patriots quarterback. "He and Jack Tatum collided. I had seen so many collisions like that when both people got up and shook it off and came back to the huddle. Darryl didn't get up. To have the injury be so serious, it was devastating to all of us."
Mr. Stingley and Tatum never spoke about the hit. They had arranged to speak in 1996, but Mr. Stingley declined at the last moment when a close friend told him that Tatum's intentions weren't genuine.
"He would shake when we would talk about Tatum," Sands recalled. "I think he had sympathy for him, but he absolutely could not accept him trying to use the injury for his own financial gain, whether it was a book or something else."
In 1983, Mr. Stingley wrote a memoir of his life and of his injury, titled "Happy to Be Alive." In a Boston Globe story in 2003, Stingley said he learned to forgive Tatum, even though he was hurt to read words in Tatum's book -- ''They Call Me Assassin" -- about his intentions to injure players.
"For me to go on and adapt to a new way of life, I had to forgive him," Mr. Stingley said. "I couldn't be productive if my mind was clouded by revenge or animosity. Early on there were a lot of questions in my mind. Questions about life in general. Questions if I would even live. But I have such a strong faith in God."
Teammates recalled Mr. Stingley's sense of humor and his knack for singing Stevie Wonder songs.
"My fondest memory of Darryl was after we lost a key game -- I believe in 1977," said Pro Football Hall of Famer John Hannah. "Darryl had a great singing voice, which sounded just like Stevie Wonder. When we got back to Boston, everybody met at a restaurant in South Boston to eat and drown our frustrations. Darryl began to serenade the group and after a couple of songs, people in the restaurant wanted 'Stevie's' autograph."
Former Patriots tight end Russ Francis said Mr. Stingley had a remarkable work ethic.
"It was legendary," said Francis, who was Mr. Stingley's roommate upon joining the Patriots in 1975. "I later played with Jerry Rice and Roger Craig with the 49ers in that championship era [of the 1980s] -- and many talked about their work ethic -- but Darryl was years ahead of them."
Off the field, Francis said Mr. Stingley taught him about "inequalities of race and how to bring peace to a situation." They served as chairmen of the National Spinal Cord Injury Foundation, and Francis said Mr. Stingley fought for the rights of wheelchair athletes in the Boston Marathon.
Mr. Stingley remained a devoted fan of the Patriots, and Sands said one of his disappointments was not having the chance to see Gillette Stadium, which opened in 2002, or the team's three Super Bowl trophies. Mr. Stingley had received multiple invitations to visit, but traveling was difficult.
Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft said he was touched by Mr. Stingley's positive outlook on life after meeting him.
"He was passionate about his faith and his family and always showed compassion for others. In my conversations with Darryl, he always spoke of the future, not the past," Kraft said. "I don't think he ever held grudges and I know that he was uncomfortable accepting anyone's sympathy. He wanted to find ways to positively impact the lives of those around him and did so throughout his life."
Sands said Mr. Stingley was "really excited a year ago when Purdue honored him at halftime of a football game and he reconnected with some fraternity brothers that he hadn't seen in 25 years." Sands believed Stingley "became a much stronger individual because of his injuries" and noted that "one of the things he expressed to me from his hospital bed was that he was never bitter toward the game of football."
Stingley is survived by his wife, Martine, his three sons -- Hank, John, and Derek -- and several grandchildren.

Businessman Paul Scully, set to run as a prospective Conservative MP for the borough in next year's general election, is joint-owner of Nudge Factory in Croydon High Street.
The firm provide communication strategies across a range of sectors including local government, corporate PR, and property and planning.
He runs the firm with his business partner Ahzaz Chowdhury.
Last week they posted a job advert seeking a personal assistant for Mr Chowdhury, and owing to the nature of the role, specified the right candidate would need an excellent command of English language both written and verbal.
Mr Scully and Mr Chowdhury chose to advertise through the Croydon Jobcentre to find someone to fill the post, but after the ad went live they received a message from the DWP, asking them to explain why they were trying to claim an exemption to the Equality Act.
The department asked them to outline why applicants had to be able to speak a particular language, and went on to ask: "In what way could the duties of the current staff be re-organised to enable the new post to be filled by someone who does not need to speak this particular language.
"If this is not possible please state why."
The DWP also asked how many staff are employed by the company and how many only speak English.
Following a complaint from Mr Scully the government department is now reviewing its procedure.
The Conservative party member said: "As someone who is keen to take on a local person if possible, it is frustrating to see obstacles put in the way.
"There must be thousands of small businesses that would be put off using the Universal Jobmatch service if they thought that they would be given the third degree.
"I am glad the DWP have seen sense and will change their procedures as a result of my speaking out."
A DWP spokesperson said: "Universal Jobmatch is successfully helping people into work with around half a million employers now registered.
"We have robust procedures in place to ensure that vacancies comply with Equality legislation and that jobseekers are not discriminated against.
"In this case those checks may have been too strict and we are now reviewing our procedures.
"We will be in touch with Mr Scully."
